Varanasi - Preghiera al crepuscolo dopo le cremazioni.
In realtà, più che una commemorazione è una festa poiché, secondo la fede Indu, morire a Varanasi equivale ad evitare tutto il ciclo delle reincarnazioni.

The tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam was built between 1320 and 1324, is an unmatched pre-Moghul masterpiece. The Mausoleum of Rukn-i-Alam could possibly be considered as the glory of Multan.
From whichever side the city is approached, the most prominent thing that can be seen from miles all around is a huge dome. This dome is the Shrine of the saint. The tomb is located on the southwest side of the Fort premises. This elegant building is an octagon, 51 feet 9 inches in diameter internally, with walls 41 feet 4 inches high and 13 feet 3 inches thick, supported at the angles by sloping towers. Over this is a smaller octagon 25 feet 8 inches, on the exterior side, and 26 feet 10 inches high, leaving a narrow passage all round the top of the lower storey for the Moazzan, or public caller to prayers. The whole is surmounted by a hemispherical dome of 58 feet external diameter. The total height of the building, including a plinth of 3 feet, is 100 feet. As it stands on the high ground, the total height above the road level is 150 feet.[4]
Besides its religious importance, the mausoleum is also of considerable archaeological value as its dome is reputed to be the second largest in the world. The mausoleum is built entirely of red brick, bounded with beams of shisham wood, which have now turned black after so many centuries. The whole of the exterior is elaborately ornamented with glazed tile panels, string-courses and battlements. Colors used are dark blue, azure, and white, contrasted with the deep red of the finely polished bricks.

Un pequeño homenaje a las pequeñas cosas. Al Principito, ese pequeño gran libro, y a este pequeño local que aunque no lo parezca tiene una pequeña carta de cervezas larguísima...

Noppharat Thara Beach, Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand
11.36pm, 19.Nov.2011, f5.6, 30sec, ISO-800
Lens: Sigma DX 8-16 HSM
Camera: pointing 45deg up and to the South-West
In the foreground you can see campers at the beach. The lights of Ao Nang town was too bright in this capture. Was almost a moonless night with little clouds.
Actually, on this day, I was supposed to shoot the sunset. During the afternoon, it started raining, so had a short nap in the cool air-cond room. By the time I woke up, it was 8pm! Grrrrr!!!!!!

My youngest grandchild Wilm one year old walked his first steps without taking someones hand during I was in Bielefeld. He simply still loves crawling on the ground and it doesn't matter whether on foliage in the forest or on the street ;-)).
This photo was taken on a rainy day ... Wilm was happy to crawl on the ground despite the wet grass.
Love it Large On Black
(In my next uploads I will share some other photos of Wilm with you.)

Bangladesh is the play ground of nature. She is very rich in flowers vegetation and green fields. The blue sky, the green fields, the yellow corns have an unending fascination for all. They beauties of nature in Bangladesh are sufficient to make even the unpeotical person somewhat of a poet.
The beauties of Bangladesh have been praised greatly by the travelers. The green plains and meadows, the murmuring rivers, the clear blue sky the scenes of hills and montains have made this country unequal in the world in natural beautey.
The padma, the magna, the karnafuly and many other rivers have criss-crossed the country like nest. These rivers have added to the beatuey of this land, The scences of the boats playing in these rivers present a magic beauty. The bosom of the rivers flashes like silver in the flood of moonlight.
The beauty of nature changes with the change of season. Sis means appear here with their special appeal. In summer mango trees, jack-fruit trees and many other fruit trees bend down the ripe fruits and assume and unusual look. This season fills the villages and country side various delicious and juicy fruits. Nature seems dead with scorching raws of the sun.

Y espero,aunque los años pesan,seguir visitando y disfrutando de más ruinas romanas mientras pueda sostenerme.
I wish, althoug the years keep going .., to continue visiting more roman ruins...
El teatro romano de Cartagena fue construido entre los años 5 y 1 a. C. en la ciudad de Carthago Nova, actual Cartagena. Tenía capacidad para unos seis mil espectadores, y estuvo en uso hasta el siglo III, a partir del cual se superpusieron varias edificaciones.
En 1988 fue descubierto y después de algunos años de abandono,se emprendió un ambicioso proyecto de reconstrucción y restauración del monumento.El teatro se había mantenido en muy buen estado de conservación y hasta un 60% de los materiales originales se conservaban enterrados.
En el borde superior del graderío del teatro romano, en la parte más alta de la colina en que está excavado,se construyó en el s.XIII la Catedral de Cartagena. Muchos de los muros de la catedral contienen restos de diferentes épocas...romana,bizantina, árabe....

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

Los Urros de Liencres.
♫ Jose Padilla & Seal - Adios ayer. ♫
Para acompañar la fotografía una mítica canción Chill-out.
Los Urros de Liencres, son unos islotes paralelos y a poca distancia de la costa, situados en Cantabria.
La carretera que une las población de Liencres y Soto de la Marina tiene desvíos a las playas de Portío, Arnía y Covachos. Estas playas también estás unidas por un camino costero por encima de los acantilados y que permite disfrutar del espectáculo de los Urros.
Cuando el mar esta enfurecido es impresionante ver como se estrellan las olas contra los Urros y como trepan por sus verticales paredes.
To accompany the photographs a legendary Chill-out song .
The Liencres Urros are a few small islands parallel off the coast, located in Cantabria.
The road linking the town of Liencres and Soto de la Marina has departures from beaches, Portio, Covachos and Arnía. These beaches are also linked by a coastal path above the cliffs and to enjoy the spectacle the Urros.
When the sea is angry is breathtaking to see how the waves crashing against Urros as its vertical climb walls.

There are two derivations of the name. One is that of the youth of Greek mythology called Narcissus, who, in at least one of many variations of the tale, became so obsessed with his own reflection as he knelt and gazed into a pool of water that he fell into the water and drowned. In some variations, he died of starvation and thirst from sitting by the edge of the pool, transfixed by his own reflection. In both versions, the Narcissus plant sprang from where he died.
The other derivation is that the plant is named after its narcotic properties (ναρκάω narkao, "I grow numb" in Greek). (Wikipedia)

Die Bezeichnung Narzisse leitet sich von dem griechischen Wort νάρκειν narkein ab, welches „betäuben“ bedeutet. Die Dichternarzisse, die auch in Griechenland wächst, strömt tatsächlich einen sehr intensiven und betäubenden Geruch aus. Die Römer übernahmen den griechischen Pflanzennamen als narcissus.

The late lamented Theatre Royal on Hawkins Street in Dublin.
Thanks to swordscookie for this information on the monument in the foreground:
"Monument to Constable Jeremiah Sheehan, 6' 4" tall of the DMP who went down into a drain at this point to rescue some council workmen who had been overcome with sewer gas and lost his own life!"
Niall McAuley contributed this brilliant link outlining the long history of the Theatre Royal "including the programme of the final show, the "Royale Finale", which was on Saturday 30th of June at 8pm, just three months after this photo."
Date: Sunday, 1 April 1962
NLI Ref.: WALK127
I started off the month of April by walking to the border of Mexico. I was sent out to the grocery store ... and took a detour. I was standing on the border when I received a phone call. "Where are you mom? What is taking you so long!!" :-)
There weren't many folk about ... a few surfers, some dog-walkers, a lone fisherman ... and some horseback riders on the Mexican side of the shore. When I saw this beach umbrella, I couldn't resist!

Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").
The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.
The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.
Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.
The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc
The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. It thus still is the second longest span width, measured directly.

"Street photography"
This is a passage to the train station where I live. I was heading for the train on my way to the city core when I heard these kids running and screaming behind me. I felt a picture coming and I grabbed my camera, crouched down and took this shot as they passed me...

Sotos de la Albolafia (Córdoba )
Único Monumento Natural de Europa enclavado dentro de una ciudad. Tramo del Guadalquivir comprendido entre el Puente Romano y el de San Rafael, con zonas inundables, pequeños afloramientos, barras e islotes, producto de las diferentes fluctuaciones históricas en el nivel del agua del río a su paso por la ciudad. Incluye antiguas edificaciones relacionadas con el uso del agua. Albergan una importante avifauna, con importantes poblaciones de garcilla bueyera, calamón y morito.
Tan sólo seis kilómetros conforman los llamados Sotos de la Albolafia. El material de arrastre que el río deposita en este tramo, ha configurado un paisaje de lo más peculiar, donde gran variedad de aves y plantas han encontrado su lugar perfecto. Tanto es así, que el dos de octubre de 2001, fue declarado Monumento Natural, creando, de esta forma, en medio de la ciudad, una verdadera reserva de flora y fauna.

Uno de los glaciares que avanza en el Campo de Hielo Sur. Este avance fue constatado por el estanciero Finn Samsing, quien entre los años 1925-1926, fundó su estancia frente al glaciar, pero debido al avance de éste, tuvo que evacuar la zona. Es considerado el glaciar más grande del hemisferio sur, con 1263 kms. cuadrados y un largo de 62 kms. (año 1995). Lo que se ve en la foto es menos de la mitad del glaciar.

Happy Miniature Sunday, Purple Hour edition yet again :-)
This is from the last Sunday, when I had a great roof-top photo-session during the snowy purple hour. Captured this purple magic in many of my fave places I tend to photograph from the roof-top, of course, Toy-ronto spots included :-) So do expect more of this long-exposure purple goodness in the near future :-)
More of toy-some tilt-shift fun is coming - stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran ;-)

Yesterday night went to photograph the street art in back alley ways of china town. This was the first shot I took handheld (with ISO 2000, f/8, 1/13sec) just to check the composition with wide angle, before setting up the tripod. After that I took around 15 shots. Interestingly this one I like the most!
Well, again uploaded two photos in one day and in reverse order!! this one is yesterday's shot! Was too sleepy when came back home to process and upload!
Day 116 of 365
Not the best conditions, it was raining and the sea was flat calm... apart from this little bit of swell in one place on the beach.
First time I've been to this bit of coast as a photographer, it's fantastic, I will be back !
Happy ♥ Day Flickr friends!
I heard a faint knock at the door this morning and I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it...A Danbo really is the sweetest Valentine!

A wonderful weekend to you all! I hope you have the opportunity to hand around like these three guys.
I've been back from vietnam for more than a months - I didn't touch my camera ever since. This morning I had the feeling to grap it for the first time after the trip. It's itching again even though it is insanely cold around here. I can't wait to work on something new during the next weeks.

My first ever star trail :))
Had a great time last night with Flickr buddy Rohit Ganda as we went out for our first ever star trail photoshoot!
It was a very difficult location by a lake here in Hyderabad, with a lot of rocks and slush and mud all around and without much lights it took us a long long time to find a right spot to catch the trails.
After nearly an hour of scouting around in the dark, we both managed to find a decent location. I stacked 10 shots here, each exposed to approximately 10 mins (600 seconds) so overall about 1hr 40 mins of exposure in here and am sure a little bit longer would've been better.
Being a sucker for the human element in the frame, on my last shot I went and climbed those rocks and stood there for about 3-4minutes after which I got dizzy and decided to sit down by the side so I did that for another 3-4 minutes. Thats how I got two of myself in the frame, which I'm not sure is particularly exciting but thats how it is.
Am not 100% satisfied with the overall outcome here but considering it was my first time, I will take this. Will certainly try for a better one next time.
A happy weekend to all my friend.

Badly needed a day out today after babysitting for 2 days in a row! Joined my friend in Rowerdennan, where the weather was kind to us. Here’s one of the shots I took using a wide angle.
I’m submitting this for the Recording Images group, which as the theme of “landscapes” for this week.
I have a bit of catching up to do, but hope you’re all having a great week so far!
