Kilchurn Castle is a ruined 15th and 17th century structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Access to the Castle is sometimes restricted by higher-than-usual levels of water in the Loch, at which times the site effectively becomes a temporary island.
It was the ancestral home of the Campbells of Glen Orchy, who later became the Earls of Breadalbane also known as the Breadalbane family branch, of the Clan Campbell. The earliest construction on the castle was the towerhouse and Laich Hall
With storm clouds approaching from the west I was ready to give up on the nights plans for photographing the super full moon, but fortunately David Wang was already on the road when I called and so I decided to take my chances and meet him down by the river. It was a warm and balmy evening as the thickening clouds repeatedly hid then revealed the moon in interesting ways. In-between moon appearances we were entertained by geese and goslings, a beaver, along with a variety of boats and kayakers making their way along the river. It turned out to be a great night along the river. NB13403,05 - Happy Moonlight Mondays!
Rather nice panoramic view "up" O'Connell Street from the top of Nelson's Pillar. We think this was taken around 1950, but would love confirmation or suggestions to the contrary.
Very surprised when I zoomed in to see that the clock actually said Clery's Store - referred to by generations solely as Clery's!
Date: Circa 1957/1958 and no later than 1961/62 (thanks to DannyM8, Mr Tayto, Archiseek).

ESTAR VIVO
Es cierto que la vida da golpes fuertes.
Pero recuerdo siempre que cada nuevo amanecer es más bello que el anterior.
Y mientras espero ese maravilloso amanecer, existen las estrellas para iluminar mi noche.
Levanto la cabeza y sigo adelante, porque mañana brillará el sol de nuevo.
Y cada día trae consigo miles de oportunidades únicas.
Existen muchas razones para amar, soñar... mil razones para luchar y vivir.
Y siempre tengo presente, que cuando le sonrío al mundo, el mundo me sonríe a mí.
---------------------------------------------
TO BE ALIVE
It is true that life gives strong impact.
But always I remember that every new day is more beautiful than the last.
And while I hope wonderful dawn... there are stars to light my night.
I raise my head and move on, because tomorrow the sun will shine again.
And every day brings thousands of unique opportunities.
There are a thousand reasons to love, to dream ... thousand reasons to fight and live.
And always I have present, that when I him smile at the world, the world smiles to me.
Happy fence Friday - seen during a walk in Fellbach - Oeffingen, Germany.

Palamidi is a fortress to the east of the Acronauplia in the town of Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece. Nestled on the crest of a 216-metre high hill, the fortress was built by the Venetians during their second occupation of the area (1686–1715).
In Greek mythology, Palamedes was the son of Nauplius , prince of Nauplia who led the Nauplians in the Trojan War.
He is said to have invented counting, currency, weights and measures, jokes, dice and pessoi, as well as military ranks. Sometimes he is credited with discoveries in the field of wine making and the supplementary letters of the Greek alphabet.

Ο Παλαμήδης, ήταν γιος του Ναύπλιου αδελφός του Ναυσιδέμοντα από όπου και οι σχετικοί όροι για την ναυσιπλοΐα. Φημιζόταν για την σοφία και την επινοητικότητά του και λέγεται πως είχε επινοήσει μερικά από τα γράμματα, με την μετατροπή των φοινικικών στοιχείων σε γράμματα του ελληνικού αλφαβήτου. Θεωρείται εφευρέτης της ναυτιλίας, των φάρων των μέτρων και των σταθμών, των νομισμάτων, καθώς και της διαίρεσης του χρόνου σε ώρες, ημέρες και μήνες, αλλά και παιχνιδιών (επιτραπέζιων)
Το κάστρο του Παλαμηδίου στο Ναύπλιο πήρε το όνομά του.

This one is for Munich.
For all the fantastic architecture whether the old or the new one.
For all the breweries and the most delicious beer in the world.
For all the rollercoasters at the Oktoberfest which make so many people happy every year.
This is to the people.
To all those people sitting outside in the sun even though it is freezingly cold.
To all those surfers who are surfing no matter the season.
To all those drunken strangers at the Munich beer festival which are friends for one night.
I love you guys, you are my inspiration, you are my life.

I shot this scene on a whim in the whee hours a few minutes from dawn along a dark county road between Jamestown and Chinese camp along California highway 49. The landscape is full of rolling valleys and hills leading up to the Sierra Nevada mountains to the east. As I pulled over I noticed this fence and the tall dry grass that surrounded it and just as luck would have it the bright center of the Milky Way was almost perfectly aligned in formation behind the fence mimicking the angle of the fence posts. I love being able to capture a scene as it unfolds before my eyes. Within a few moments dawn was on the horizon and the Milky Way disappeared in the blue light of dawn. If you get a chance to gaze the Milky Way consider yourself lucky because light pollution is destroying our dark skies and gradually degrading views of this majestic ribbon in the sky. As you may notice in the image the presence of an orange glow along the horizon. This glow is from light pollution from the towns Oakdale, Modesto, and Merced, Ca. I would love to see more done to prevent light pollution so I can create more amazing images of the night sky. Thanks for Stopping by please feel free to comment or critique my work.

Fairy fingers o Foxglove en inglés..... dedos de hada, guantes de zorro.......y más sugerente este otro nombre, Dead man's thimbles o dedales de muerto.
En español ya le vale también......se llaman Calzones de zorra, Dedales de monja, Zapatitos de Cristo......
Y en gallego que me olvidaba.......Seoanes, Sanxoán, Croque, Milicroques, Estralote, Abeluría, Botexo, Estroupallo.....no en vano en Galicia, es la zona de la Peninsula donde más extendida está esta flor.

As Darrell and I walked back across the campus after a session with the WIU Hot Shots photography club in the University's photography studio, we spied a stand of dandelion stalks softly lit by the setting sun. Neither of us could resist pulling our cameras out and taking some shots. This image of one going to seed is probably only the second dandelion picture that I have posted to flicker in the last couple of years. To obtain the shot, I used the articulating LCD (instead of the viewfinder) while holding the camera down near the ground. It was processed in Lightroom 5 using a radial filter.
My attitude towards these prolific and tenacious weeds has radically changed since moving out into the countryside of western Illinois. I used to fruitlessly try to eradicate them from the lawn... but now, because of the sheer overwhelming number of them and the huge size of the lawns out here, I am content to keep them mowed down with the rest of the grass. :D

Love this line up of men, boys, donkeys and dog outside Ballydehob in Co. Cork!
The dog owner is absolutely ensuring that his dog is recorded for posterity by holding the dog immobile. Amazingly Donkey #1 is also holding his pose perfectly face on to the camera, while Donkey #2 is adamant that his best side is captured.
And what's going on with the boy at extreme right - singing? reciting? yawning?

Please take your time... to View it large on black
Malcesine is a small town on the eastern shore of Lake Garda in northern Italy. Malcesine is located between the mount Baldo and lake Garda. It's a picturesque tourist resort with cobbled lanes and a castle, crammed between the blue lake waters and the massive mountain ridge behind, Monte Baldo. In the summer months Malcesine is a hive of innocent hedonism, packed with pottering holidaymakers gorging on ice cream and sunseekers draped along the lake shore. It's not all laziness, however, as the town's ferry connections to other lakeside resorts make it a good base for sightseeing and the cable-car running up to Monte Baldo is a magnet for cyclists, walkers and paragliders. Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy, and Malcesine lies towards the narrow and mountainous northern end, often compared to a fjord. The town is situated at the edge of the Veneto region, in the province of Verona. Malcesine is a good exercise in Italian pronunciation: the name is pronounced approximately MalCHESinay.
The historic centre of the town Malcesine is a surprisingly intricate with a labyrinth of small shopping streets. In the antique town center, full of shops and typical local bars and cafes, you can visit almost intact antique monuments. There is a market every Saturday morning in the market square, but markets aside there is a great range of interesting shops. It seems the salesman of the antique shop is having a bad day.
Malcesine is een klein dorpje aan de oostelijke oevers van het Gardameer. Malcesine is één van de meest schilderachtige plaatsen aan het Gardameer. Het heeft niet voor niets de bijnaam Parel van het Gardameer. Romantische doorkijkjes en prachtige oude panden wisselen elkaar af. In de nauwe kronkelige straatjes van de oude binnenstad is zo veel te zien dat men ogen te kort komt. Het dorp ligt als het ware ingeklemd tussen het blauwe water van het meer aan de ene kant en de massieve rotswanden van de Monte Baldo aan de andere kant. Malcesine is door haar ligging en milde klimaat een geliefde bestemming voor toeristen. Er zijn eigenlijk vier belangrijke activiteiten, die je als bezoeker van Malcesine gedaan moet hebben: slenteren door de smalle straatjes in het centrum, een veerboot nemen naar een andere plaats aan het meer, met de kabelbaan de Monte Baldo op en een heerlijk Italiaans ijsje eten. Het is aangenaam wandelen door de middeleeuwse steegjes in het centrum met kleine pleintjes, terrassen, restaurants en winkels met een groot aanbod van onder andere lederwaren en lokale lekkernijen. Malcesine heeft ook een kleine haven en een korte boulevard, omgeven door gezellige terrassen.

Continuo mostrando esta semana parte de las sesiones que realicé junto a mis amigos Yannick Lefevre , Arnaud Bertrande y Eric Rousset y Joserra en Costa Quebrada. Elegí esta porque para mi es la que mejor muestra la sensación que la luz cálida del atardecer nos hizo sentir. Hay tardes en las que todo fluye como la seda, la luz acompaña ,la marea, la temperatura, la compañía es agradable, sólo te tienes que dejar llevar por lo que el lugar inspira, y en este lugar, inspiración es lo que nunca puede fallar. Junto a esta os muestro otras dos con un encuadre más cerrado,buscando la simetría en los reflejos, o con una leve variación dando más protagonismo al cielo, que tambien se lo merecía ; ))
-TECNICA: De las fáciles, filtro ND 64 de BW más degradado inverso HI TECH de dos pasos.No tube que emplear black card ni mover el inverso ,la luz incidía tan homogénea que no hizo falta.
Los datos exif los podreis encontrar en la WEB.
-COMPOSICIÓN: Hace unas semanas ya os mostré imágenes de la rasa de La Arnia buscando los reflejos que la manea baja ofrecía de las dos "montañas" sobre el agua, esta vista alejada me gustó especialmente ,el punto de fuga de las lineas diagonales justo donde incide la luz y la posición de la nube reforzando esta sensación enseguida llamaron mi atención.La luz y el color adquieren todo el protagonismo en esta escena.
-EDICIÓN: ONLY RAW sólo contraste con curvas y bajar ligeramente la intensidad de los rojos en el DPP. Por supuesto ligero enfoque para la web en PS.
Aprovecho para recordaros que ya queda queda menos para la celebración del IV Rally Fotográfico Parque Natural del Peñon de Ifach, el periodo de inscripción de cierra el día 2 de Mayo, allí os esperamos.

Join me for a landscape and post-processing workshop in Iceland, Sept 2014.
The night sky above a mountain in Snæfellsnes, Iceland. We had started driving more and more into the middle of nowhere when we came across this awesome looking mountain. We jumped out of the car, turned off the lights and the amount of 'astro-stuff' you could see was phenomenal!
This clearness in the sky didn't last for long and the stars were soon hard to photography due to light pollution. The upside is that this light pollution was caused by the aurora borealis. BONUS.
No images in comments please.

This monument was built by the Prince Leopold III. Friedrich Franz of Anhalt-Dessau 1785 -1787 and used as a guesthouse.
The guesthouse gained great popularity because of the beautiful view and the tasteful, modern furnished rooms. In the long guest list includes names like Schinkel, Hölderlin and Novalis.
The guest house Eichenkranz is acting like a castell construction. As a gateway to the city and an important reference point for the beautiful gardens of Wörlitz, It represents an ingenious architectural and urbanistic solution.
Dieses Baudenkmal wurde vom Fürsten Leopold III. Friedrich Franz von Anhalt-Dessau 1785 -1787 erbaut und als Gästehaus genutzt.
Das Gästehaus erlangte wegen der schönen Aussicht und der geschmackvollen, modern möblierten Zimmer große Berühmtheit. In der langen Gästeliste finden sich namen wie Schinkel, Hölderlin und Novalis.
Als Eingangstor zur Stadt Wörlitz und wichtigem Bezugspunkt der Wörlitzer Gartenanlagen zugleich, stellt der kastellartig wirkende Bau eine geniale architektonisch-städtebauliche Lösung dar.
I've been in this beautiful library several times before. It was always so crowded, that I even didn't think about taking the camera out. Guess I was lucky this time...
Info
Adjoining the cathedral of Siena is the Piccolomini Library, housing precious illuminated choir books and frescoes based on designs by Raphael.
The visual impact of these very colourful frescoes is stunning. The frescoes tell the story of the life of Siena's favourite son, cardinal Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who eventually became Pope Pius II.
In the middle of the library is the famous statue Three Graces, a Roman copy of a Greek original.
Strath Fillan (Scottish Gaelic: Na Sraithibh) is a strath in west Perthshire named after an 8th century Irish hermit monk later canonised Saint Fillan. It stretches from Bridge of Orchy to Crianlarich and has long been a major route through the highlands.

Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club. It was a terrific event for which I had nearly a month to prepare. I was never nervous once until a few seconds after the presentation started. A bout of apprehensiveness struck me, which was really all in my head. Nothing unfortunate or embarrassing occurred!
Fortunately, I had a very good-natured and engaging audience. After a brief microphone sound-check took place two minutes into the discussion, and a few playful quips into the mic (i.e. Recall Joey’s popular quote from the “Friends” television series, “How You Doin’???”), I was ready to go! Laughter from the audience is always reassuring.
There was a turnout of approximately 70 individuals, and the head of the photo club told me he couldn’t remember the last time a presenter received audible applause at the conclusion of a presentation. I thought I could have done a lot better, but the overall feedback I received was -- to my delight -- extremely positive. Like most human beings, I am my own worst critic. On top of that, amidst the preparation, I was exhausted from multiple aspects of my daily routine from the previous month leading to the event. No complaints, though. Every minute and every second of this photography venture has been worth the effort.
If you would like to see the “Introduction to Night Photography” presentation (revised to target an online audience) and the concluding photo video, both are currently on my official blog. Pictures taken during the presentation are posted there as well. If anything, viewers can take humor in my nerdy voice and fashion sense. Please feel free to share the presentation and video with your friends and colleagues.

The Photo:
This is a view of Seattle’s SoDo (South Downtown) neighborhood, which is essentially the city’s warehouse district adjacent to Harbor Island, which serves as the Port of Seattle. Starbucks’ world headquarters is located in SoDo. I love the bright lights of the port in combination with the thick clouds engulfing the Olympic Mountains along the horizon.
Even Seattle’s warehouse district has an alluring charm!

The light from a thousand stars, some of it travelling for more than 10,000 years, finally ends its journey in my camera.
This photo was taken from my favourite star location, Porteau Cove Provincial Park, on a brightly moonlit night, and is a rework of a series of images I shot in January.
This is made up from 191 stacked photographs, taken at 16mm, f/3.5, ISO 2500, and with a little creativity applied in Photoshop.
Check out more of my star photographs here, and my most interesting photographs here!

THE JAMES RIVER The English colonists named it "James" after King James I of England, as they also constructed the first permanent English settlement in the Americas in 1607 at Jamestown along the banks of the James River about 35 miles (56 km) upstream from the Chesapeake Bay..Standing tall, I saw this old remnant of what was left after years of being there !! A tree is still a tree ? A beautiful sunset on the James River.
