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.

This beautiful spring landscape is taken on the pathway leading out of my neighborhood and into Fish Creek, facing south and east.
When snapping this photo, I was about two steps beyond where the fence line ends and from here it is just pure, gorgeous nature pathways and trails for just about as long as you care to explore!
One of my favorite spots to start nature journeys from, and only about 5 minutes from our house!

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.

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.)

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.

About this shot
Swans in front of 'The Swan' (=Erasmus bridge) always nice!
The 'Inflatable Me' / 'Gullivers Travels' thing, is an idea I've been toying around with for quite some time for my new website. Still optimizing the technique. It's not easy to get light, shadows and water right (plus wet pants!), but I'm working on it! Hope you like the idea behind it. :-)
Very busy at the moment: Changing workflow from Photoshop CS5 to Lightroom 4 (final touch in CS5), setting up a webshop to sell my stuff plus busy creating a professional website. I really want to get things going, photography wise!
Enjoy your loooong weekend, and thx for dropping by!

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

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!
Comparison photos of Lesser Scaup and Greater Scaup. The photo in the first comment box below shows a female Greater Scaup. Lesser Scaup has a more peaked crown with a noticeable corner of the crown above and behind the eye. Greater Scaup's head is more rounded. Greater Scaup also has a larger bill which flares out a bit towards the tip. Greater Scaup also shows pudgier cheeks if you can get a head-on view of the bird.
Both photos were taken at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Central Florida

"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.

A different view of the same scene here.
Last week I rented a Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens from Borrowlenses.com. This lens is truly a thing of beauty and awesomeness.
Funny story, actually. So, I rented the lens last week and headed to this very same spot to take some wideangle sunset shots. I spent a good hour on that windy ridge snapping away as my fingers got more and more numb. Anyway, I got some great shots that evening. Well, I thought I had gotten some great shots, but when I processed them they were covered in dust. Every single one. And I have no idea how all that dust got on my sensor. Anyway, yesterday I ran into Borrowlenses.com's San Carlos, CA location and had my sensor cleaned while I waited. Tonight I took the rented lens out for the last time (it goes back tomorrow) and took the shots I had wanted to take last week. And guess what? Tonight's sunset was ten times better than last week's...and dust-free to boot! How's that for luck? This lens is going on my wish list. It really is an amazing, amazing lens.

Continuing my Toy-ronto Life series...
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 ;-)
Part of my Magic Purple Hour series.
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 !

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!
