I have to admit in reality there's only one Krystallen building by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, I've flipped this to create a gateway. In a difference to the previously uploaded photos where I've used this technique here I've introduced a few subtle differences to try and fool the viewer, see if you can spot them all.......

ذات شتاء ، ومن تحت نافذة .. عارية
قفز حلم .. قفزت أمنية للسماء
وتمتمة دعاء
وراء النافذة دنيا أخرى
سيكون المرج أجمل ، هكذا تقول الفراشة
ستكون النسمات .. أكثر ... طراوة
ستكون الدنيا أكثر .. حلاوة
تكذب الفراشة مجدداً
وتبقى النافذة .. عالية
وتبقى أيضاً .. عارية

Plankton had the opportunity to play tourist for a day ... and good thing Plankton is on this side of the glass since he is a primary food source for jellyfish!! Plankton and I made quite a 'splash' setting this shot up at the Monterey Aquarium!! I was inspired by the silhouetted children!
Thanks to all for your wonderful well wishes for my new job!!
Uma série de dunas fixas próximas da praia da Joaquina, muito procuradas pelos praticantes de sandboard. Um ótimo lugar para apreciar o pôr do sol.
It's been almost 2 months since I've shot the coast. I have been running around various places here in the southwest for the last 6 weeks, so being able to photograph the coast again was a treat. I decided to get up early along with everyone else and try to take advantage of the Black Friday specials, although the special I was searching for was along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. I made it down to the shore line and I just stopped and took a deep breath. Ahhhhhhh........the smell of sea water. I missed the coast, I was back........ time for some action. I was greeted with high pounding surf and a brief moment of glowing light. The glow of the sun rising behind the sea cliffs is something special. It's a sight that I truly adore and was very pleased to be able to capture such a scene. Hope everyone has a great week.
Thanks to my buddy Thorsten for help with the title of this image. Thanks!

Widepolle, Barle valley Exmoor;
On a bright & misty morning, the 19th November 2004. I drove down to Tarr Steps with Rintin. It was quiet & peaceful; a respite from the two fiery arguements at the crack of dawn.
On the front cover of the Guardian, an open letter from a U.S war correspodent. A whistle blower; he had witnessed the cold blooded murder of an elderly Iraqi citizen. Shot by U.S forces as he lay unarmed & sleeping on the floor.
Rintin had vanished, she had been sitting outside as I read; with the car door open. She had barely reached a year, born stone deaf & followed me like a shadow.
After walking awhile across the open moor, a lady explained she saw Rintin crossing the river Tarr, heading west following two walkers. Some desperate 13 hours later of searching, I drove again to the steps & from a hill I began to flash the car lights over the moor in the same way I would call her home on the farm. In under an hour Rintin came back & met me at the steps across the Tarr.
We had only driven a mile or so when the car ran out of petrol. It was less than 10 miles to walk home & even at midnight it was not so cold. It was good to have her at my side.
We reached this bridge at Widepolle after seven miles. Our lives were about to change forever. We crossed the bridge, passed the old inn, & began to take the deathly quiet winding lane, that lead to home. There I came upon two men, both tall & thick set. They called out softly. Their car was parked a few metres behind them, with the lights & engine off. Indeed our lives changed forever, halfway down that pitch black road. I cannot say why life turns a cruel page for you sometimes.
in July this year I returned with Rintin & visited the things we never meant to leave behind.

First advent - I hope you are all well. I wish you a contemplative Advent. Try to protect you as much as possible from the hectic season.
I saw one of these insects at Lake Lotus Park yesterday. I tried to get some flight shots but they didn't turn out as well as this one that I took at Maitland Community Park this spring.

This is another version of the same scene, taken some minutes earlier and from another position. The post processing was a bit different (I have used an enhancer). What I like about it, are the different mountains.
BTW: There is a nice restaurant and beer garden behind that church. We have been there many times.

Please take your time... to View it large on black
Velenje has three lakes, which are Lake Velenje, Lake Skale and Lake Druzmir. Lake Velenje is the largest in the valley. It is a nice place for walking, cycling, jogging and doing other activities. Here are also restaurants with good food. In the nearness is a camp. Due to excavation of lignite coal caused the lake. Among them is the largest lake Velenje, which primero also for the implementation of the various sporting activities. Thus, it can be given to the lake with a sailboat, sailing board or board, and the parachute. Funny is also run by canoes and pedelini.
Velenje lake is located in northern Slovenia. You don't find many tourist here but for the locals it's a great place for relaxation. A natural setting where you can spot the Sunfish and enjoying the lush natural beauty.
The Šaleška Valley boasts the largest Slovenian coalmine and the biggest Slovenian thermo power plant. The lignite mining industry in the area contributed to the expansion of the town, especially after World War II. Many people see it simply as an industrial region, but you will be very surprised, when you discover the magnificent blue lakes and wonder underground to discover the thickest layers of coal the Coal mining museum in Velenje.
I really enjoyed this amiable chap ... out hiking in this beautiful forest.
I hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day!! Stay out of them stores today, and go hiking instead!!
Happy Fence Friday!!

-Porque sonríe con el cuerpo
-That girl looks very happy
-How do you know it? You can´t see her face
-Because she is smiling with her body
I’ve been struggling for inspiration lately, I’ve been out with the camera on so many occasions, but after reviewing the results on the computer nothing jumps out at me.
This weekend was a prime example, there was some great mist and sunlight but I just couldn’t take advantage!
I did stumble upon this little fella while I was on a mushroom hunt though and this spider seemed to having a whale of a time basking in the sunlight.
Not the most interesting of mushrooms and it wasn’t what I was looking for but I do like the spider ;-)

In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. Pleiades has several meanings in different cultures and traditions.
The cluster is dominated by hot blue and extremely luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster (hence the alternate name Maia Nebula after the star Maia), but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium that the stars are currently passing through. Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational interactions with its galactic neighborhood.

I always love a symmetrical shot but rarely process one just for the fun of it :) The original shot for this is so-so & looks rather boring to me therefore this is one great chance to do a flip for a more visual impact. Bet you guys can't really tell the difference rite even tho i've left some parts the way it is so you can see :D

Formas puras de cilindros anudados. Así se explica desde el punto de vista más material esta escultura que tiene vocación de símbolo.
Realizada en acero inoxidable, pesa tres toneladas y media y está formada por cuatro formas cilíndricas a modo de eslabones que se entrelazan. Una cadena que significa unión, pero también libertad, porque los eslabones de esa cadena están abiertos, no pierden su independencia, su autonomía formal.
El parque del Rinconín su césped retiene los olores del mar cercano, que se deja escuchar desde esta explanada reconvertida en espacio público: punto final del paseo marítimo y, a la vez, punto de salida a la senda del Cervigón que flirtea con los acantilados en dirección a La Providencia.
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

I love the different seasons in the forest and like watching the cycle of nature. Autumn in a beech forest is always very nice and special for me.
Seen in the forest between Strümpfelbach and Aichwald (Baden-Württemberg, Germany).
Love it Large On Black
Ich mag die verschiedenen Jahreszeiten im Wald und beobachte gern den Kreislauf der Natur. Der Herbst im Buchenwald hat für mich etwas Spezielles und ist immer besonders schön.
Dieser Wald ist zwischen Strümpfelbach und Aichwald.

La gota de rocío del cielo se cayó,
y en ella el amor mío la carita se lavó.
Pero era tan temprano que no salía el sol,
y se helaron las manos y mejillas de mi amor.
Creí que las estrellas la iban a buscar,
y que en su cara bella se ponían a jugar.
Me dijo ''tengo frío, acércame calor'',
y fuí con tanto brío que encendí su corazón.
Y mientras la besaba me dijo en un temblor:
''esto es lo que faltaba para que saliera el sol''.
¡Oh! gota de rocío, no dejes de caer,
para que el amor mío siempre me quiera tener... (Silvio Rodriguez)

La mela nella leggenda
La mela è il frutto per eccellenza. Con la sua forma sferica ha suggerito all’uomo la totalità del cielo e della terra: una specie simbolo del potere massimo terrestre e divino insieme.
Nella tradizione ebraico-cristiana il melo e l’albero del bene e del male, nella mitologia scandinava la mela è il cibo degli dei.
Sono tre mele d’oro che tentano Atalanta a fermarsi e a perdere la scommessa con Ippomene; è una mela d’oro che scatena la guerra di Troia; è una mela il frutto che, consacrato ad Afrodite, a partire dal 3° sec.d.C, in Grecia, viene gettato al giovanetto o alla fanciulla per scegliere il compagno di banchetto; sono mele i frutti dell’immortalità del giardino delle Esperidi che Ercole, nella sua undicesima immane fatica, riesce a conquistare.
La mela, oltre che nella mitologia, ricorre in innumerevoli fiabe ed in tradizioni pseudostoriche; inoltre, da decenni ormai, campeggia anche nel campo della pubblicità.
E così, partendo da quella che cadendo in testa a Newton gli fece intuire il meccanismo della forza di gravità, oppure da quella che ha fatto di Guglielmo Tell l’eroe nazionale del popolo svizzero, arriviamo alla simbologia moderna che, fra l’altro, la vuole citata nello slogan di una famosa ditta di costruttrice di motoscooter e come nome del primo personal computer a dimensioni ridotte.
Era anche il simbolo della casa discografica fondata dai beatles nel lontano 1968.
aka Common Peafowl, Blue Peafowl, Peacock
Those of you who have lived in the Orlando area for many years probably went to see the peacocks on Genius Drive in Winter Park at some point. The property is now closed to the public but the peacocks are still roaming free there. I help out with monthly bird surveys on the property and I took this photo during one of our counts.
Indian Peafowl are not native to North America but they do breed at Genius Preserve and many other places in Florida and the U.S. If they continue to maintain or expand their populations, it is possible that they would eventually be accepted as "countable exotics" by the Florida Ornithological Society.

Drinking Starbucks coffee and driving on Interstate 5 south of Seattle don’t go well together.
This is the classic view of the Seattle skyline from Kerry Park.
I somehow managed to get this shot in between having spirited discussions with fellow photographers on lens selection, exposure and who Santa would be delivering the new Canon EOS-1D X camera to this Christmas.
The next morning I grabbed a cup of coffee in the original Starbucks at the Pike Place Market. Back in my car I headed south to meet my friend in Grants Pass, Oregon.
If you ever matriculated in higher education in America you would be familiar with the following question as seen on the SAT or GRE:
“If vehicle A is driving south on I-5 at sixty miles an hour and random brick B is coming toward vehicle A at seventy miles per hour what will be the cost of the damage to vehicle A?”
Answer: A broken oil pan, hundreds of dollars and another night in Seattle.
I didn’t mind spending another night in Seattle since it meant more photography opportunities and caffeine!
Here’s to lovely skylines, busted oil pans and to Seattle the caffeinated city!
Happy Travels!
