Svatopluk Čech Bridge or Čech Bridge (Most Svatopluka Čecha or Čechův most in Czech) is a arch bridge over river Vltava (Moldau) in Prague, Czech Republic.
Construction of the bridge started in 1905 and finished in 1908. Its length is 169 meters (one of the shortest in Prague) and width is 16 meters.
The bridge connects the Prague districts Holešovice and the Old Town (Staré Město). Construction materials are stone (pillars) and iron (arches). Up to 1961 the roadway was made of wood - a hard specie named Jarrah from Australia. The roadway got very slippery during rains.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

Cuando éramos niños los viejos tenían como treinta,
un charco era un océano, la muerte lisa y llana no existía.
Luego cuando muchachos los viejos eran gente de cuarenta,
un estanque era océano, la muerte solamente una palabra.
Ya cuando nos casamos los ancianos estaban en cincuenta,
un lago era un océano, la muerte era la muerte de los otros.
Ahora veteranos ya le dimos alcance a la verdad.
El océano es por fin el océano, pero la muerte empieza a ser la nuestra.
(MARIO BENEDETTI)
Adoor in Kerala holds its famous Bull Races every year around the time of Onam. It is a celebration of agrarian existence and is carried on without any grants or aid from the Government. This is a spectacular fiesta of rural Kerala. There are 2-3 other such events that are held in Kerala.
Two racing bulls are hitched together and three men come into action. Two racers with lead ropes on either side of the bulls who try to control the direction and speed if possible and one often obscured by sprays of mud and water, a jockey who rides on a small flat strip of wood.
The bulls race ahead with the men keeping desperately abreast of the thundering hooves. At the end of the racing track there is a 4-6 feet embankment of earth which acts as a protection and a marker for the bulls. The embankment gets totally crowded with onlookers. The bull racers need to turn the bull around and do a 360 degree here but most times that effort fails as the bulls in their racing frenzy would be uncontrollable.
I have no idea on the current status of the bull races. There are enough organisations howling to stop such races but the Supreme Court of India in a judgement a few months ago allowed bull/bullock cart races to go on in Punjab. So chances are that the tradition may still live on.

Lake Atanasovsko is a salt coastal lake north of Burgas, Bulgaria
Due to the water of Lake Atanasovsko's high salt content that increases every year because of the link with the sea, salt has been produced in it since 1906, with 40,000 tons of sea salt being obtained a year.

Tú serás para mí único en el mundo, yo seré para ti único en el mundo…”

El Cortijo del Fraile es una edificación que está situado al Sureste de Níjar (Almería), dentro del Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Níjar. Las localidades más cercanas son Los Albaricoques y Rodalquilar. En sus proximidades tuvo lugar el 22 de julio de 1928 el suceso conocido como Crimen de Nijar que inspiró el drama en verso de Federico García Lorca titulado Bodas de Sangre.
La noticia sobre el Crimen de Nijar aparecida en ABC del 25 de julio de 1928, que titulada “Crimen desarrollado en circunstancias misteriosas”, decía:
“Almería, 24, 1 tarde. En las inmediaciones de un cortijo de Níjar se ha perpetrado un crimen en circunstancias misteriosas. Para la mañana de ayer se había concertado la boda de una hija del cortijero, joven de veinte años.
En la casa de hallaban esperando la hora de ceremonia el novio y numerosos invitados. Como la hora se acercaba y la novia no llegaba ni aparecía por la casa, los invitados se retiraron contrariados. Uno de éstos encontró a una distancia de ocho kilómetros del cortijo el cadáver ensangrentado de un primo de la novia que iba a casarse, apellidado Montes Cañadas, de treinta y cuatro años. A las voces de auxilio del que hizo el hallazgo acudieron numerosas personas que regresaban de la cortijada y la Guardia Civil, que logró dar con la novia, que se hallaba en un lugar próximo al que estaba el cadáver y con las ropas desgarradas.
Detenida la novia, manifestó que había huido en unión de su primo para burlar al novio. La fuga la emprendieron en una caballería, y al llegar al lugar del crimen les salió al encuentro un enmascarado, que hizo cuatro disparos, produciendo la muerte de Montes Cañadas.
También fue detenido el novio, quien niega toda participación en el crimen, que hasta ahora parece envuelto en el mayor misterio.”

Machu Picchu is possibly the most famous archaeological site in all of the Americas, and is also one of the most beautiful places anywhere on earth. It is often referred to as the Lost City of the Incas because it lay undiscovered until 24th July, 1911.
Machu Picchu is actually the name of the tall mountain to the south of the ruins, and means ‘old peak'. This is in contrast to Huayna Picchu, the sugarloaf mountain to the north of the ruins, which means ‘young peak'.
Machu Picchu was built by the Incas during the 15th century but was mysteriously abandoned.
Archeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built, occupied and abandoned all within the space of about 100 years and it didn’t take very long for the jungle vegetation to completely reclaim the mountain and hide the existence of the city for hundreds of years.
The site was never looted by the Spanish, and it is therefore the best-preserved Inca complex in existence.

En compañia de nuestro amigo Shadi nos trasladamos hasta el concejo de Cudillero a esta preciosidad de playa para hacer amaneceres que es Gueirua.
Es una pequeña playa escondida, de dificil acceso, pero que brinda uno de los paisajes costeros mas bonitos que jamas haya visto que se encuantra en el pueblo de Santa Marina.
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

In the south east of Iceland there is a place called Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon. Ice blocks break off from the glacier and float in the lagoon. As the lagoon is connecte to the ocean, the ice blocks are being carried to the sea through a small but strong stream.
So the coastline along this area provides a very special view as most of these ice blocks strand on the beach.
With the midnight sun, a full moon and a nice sky we really had a beautiful scenery that night.
Better viewed with black background *L*

...rebellion in the street...have a excellent weekend my friends, remember not to compromise on having fun :-)
We thought that this W.D. Hogan photograph was taken during the Irish Civil War. The title on our catalogue was: "A prayer vigil, during the Irish Civil War, possibly in London" - at least we were partly right!
It had been suggested that this was taken in London, because it was stamped on the back with "Photo by The Press Photographic Agency, Johnson's Court, Fleet St., E.C.4.". Have to admit I wasn't initially convinced about London, but am absolutely happy to say that I was entirely wrong...
Have a look through the comments below, to see how the location of Downing Street in London was established by our Fantastic Flickroonies, and hence an accurate date for this photo... So we've achieved two of our Triumvirate of Terrificness - Date established and Location identified. If we identify any of the people, I may faint away with happiness! :)

A long stretch of U.S. Route 50 traverses Utah along a desolate portion of the Great Basin Desert. It is commonly referred to as the "Loneliest Road in America."
At the time, I was talking to the old man. He was telling me that he had made this colossal recipe of beef enchiladas. I was getting the entire recipe related to me in it's entirety. It was so lonely out there, all by myself ... that I was content to just tune in.
I finally had to 'tune out the food channel' when I saw this epic sunset unfolding over the desert swamp right before my eyes. I stopped in the middle of the road, left the car door open ... sat on the hood of my car ... and watched the sun set. Not one car passed by... the only sound I heard were the frogs.

Nomi comuni della ROSA CANINA:
*Rosa di macchia
*Rosa selvatica
*Rosa di bosco
Questa pianta deve il nome canina a Plinio il vecchio, che affermava che un soldato romano fu guarito dalla rabbia con un decotto di radici.
La Rosa Canina è una varietà di rosa selvatica, che può crescere spontaneamente nei boschi e nei dirupi. Fin dall'antichità è stata considerata un fiore dalla doppia valenza; da un lato, infatti, la Rosa Canina si caratterizza per la bellezza e soavità del profumo dei propri boccioli, dall'altro per il tronco ed i rami pieni di spine, piccole e appuntite, che rappresentano un ostacolo per chiunque si avvicini e desideri cogliere una rosa. Per questi motivi il significato attribuito al fiore è duplice: delicatezza e piacere ma la tempo stesso anche sofferenza e dolore fisico. Da non dimenticare sono poi le proprietà calmanti e rilassanti associate agli infusi ed estratti ricavati con i petali del fiore.

It’s great to finally post again! My new website has kept me very busy. So many photographers have amazing websites now. My new venture has been a surprising success so far, and if anyone is interested I would be happy to share what I have learned. I have a “My Blog” link on my website, where I will include steps I have taken to make the site work, including how I have been able to sell prints internationally. This was a nightmare at first; however I figured out a system for almost all sales.
The Shot: I scouted out The Marin Headlands Area to the north of San Francisco, for a spot where I could capture an image of the fireworks show, which was to be the finale of The Golden Gate Bridge 75th anniversary celebration. The Headland hills were littered with people wanting to witness the display, including many other photographers. I chose to set up on Wolfback Ridge, where I was joined by about 200 other excited individuals. This was a great spot and not bad at all for shooting the fireworks; however I soon realized that I was not set up at the best possible location to capture what I had envisioned.
While waiting for the show’s finale, I became captivated by the colorful little boats that had gathered in the harbor. I decided to attempt a 6-shot pano of the scene to include the boats, city skyline and the car light trail that snaked from The Golden Gate Bridge along Highway 101. While I kept my camera aperture setting at a constant f/8, I realized that I needed to adjust the shutter speed setting as I panned across the scene. Doing this would give me a better chance of maintaining even lighting throughout the sky.

The buttes of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park are icons of the Wild West.
They have been the background of many movies such as John Ford’s Stagecoach with John Wayne and have had bit parts in Easy Rider, 2010 Space Odyssey, The Eiger Sanction and Forest Gump.
You will see vehicles on the road in the foreground. If you had looked a short while before this photo was taken, you would have seen my red Toyota proceeding in a cloud of dust along the road.
This is the view from the visitor's center.
I would like to return and spend much more time to see and capture the beauty of the park.
Not something I'd normally post, but two together, especially the diversity between the two GT-R's, was pretty different...
I'm not going to pretend that I really like GT-R's, because I don't. I once did, when they first came out a few years ago, but somehow they lost all 'coolness' to me. What do you think of the GT-R? Also, what year GTR's are these? I think that the white and red are 2011 and 2010, respectively. Correct me if I'm wrong though :P (probably!)
Anyway, I threw this up because I just saw it there, and wondered if anyone would be interested. I took this shot quite a while ago while on a group photo shoot with "MSCC". I've got some more cool stuff coming *soon*... :O
C&C appreciated!
When I went home this afternoon I met a sweet cat on my way. She crept around my legs. Since I have always my camera with me, I wanted to try to get a close up of her and crouched down. She was so restless and moved constantly around my legs.
But suddenly as a bird flew over our heads, I got my chance. She sat down and watched him. That was my moment to capture the above scene and this is the only one I could make from her.
Better in Large On Black
Als ich heute nach Hause ging kreuzte eine süße zahme Katze meinen Weg. Sie schlich die ganze Zeit um mich herum. Da ich meine Kamera immer bei mir habe, wollte ich sehr gern eine Nahaufnahme von ihr machen und setzte mich in die Hocke. Ein Makro war jedoch unmöglich, da sie ständig in Bewegung war und um meine Beine schlich.
Doch plötzlich flog ein Vogel über uns. Sie setzte sich, ließ ihn nicht aus den Augen und beobachtete ihn sehr genau. Das war meine Chance für die einzige obige Aufnahme. Weitere waren nicht möglich.

Not even room for a little 'un on this packed day car in Sligo town. Destinations advertised outside Walsh's were Ballina, Bundoran, Enniskillen, Ballyshannon and Roscommon.
Thanks to John Spooner, we now know this photo was taken on Corcoran's Mall in Sligo and he found great info on Walsh's schedules from Slater's 1870 directory for Sligo:
"To BALLINA, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at fifty-five minutes past six, and a Van at halfpast two afternoon.
To BALLYSHANNON, from Corcoran's Mall, a Mail Car, every morning at six; also a Day Car at twenty minutes past two afternoon, during summer months only.
To ENNISKILLEN, Cars leave WALSH'S Office, Corcoran's Mall, every day (Sunday excepted) at seven in the morning." See comments below for how John worked out that the trip from Sligo to Ballyshannon worked out at an average of 6.75 mph!
Date: 1880s?
