The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.

 

The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.

 

Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

 

It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.

 

Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

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.

Check out the reflections in the window of the abandoned car:p

 

13 sec at f 2,8 and iso at 1250. My first serious attempt to shoot this phenomen.

 

Thats Sørreisa downtown dead center.

 

This night out shooting on the first day of the year alongside with my wife is probably the best time I have had with a camera. The AB just exploded in all directions. The reflection in the car there I never saw before I got back home. It lasted for about two hours. During the peak my old 5d ii misfired about 8-10 times. It was not the cold because it was only a couple of minus degrees. But it has bugged me a lot. However I got a decent set of shots anyway so I probably shouldnt complain:p

The Pont de la Concorde is an arch bridge across the River Seine in Paris connecting the Quai des Tuileries at the Place de la Concorde. It has formerly been known as the Pont Louis XVI, Pont de la Révolution, Pont de la Concorde, Pont Louis XVI again during the Bourbon Restoration (1814), and again in 1830, Pont de la Concorde, the name it has retained to this day.

Ainda que eu falasse a língua dos homens

E falasse a língua dos anjos, sem amor eu nada seria

 

É só o amor! É só o amor, Que conhece o que é verdade

O amor é bom, não quer o mal, Não sente inveja ou se envaidece

 

O amor é o fogo que arde sem se ver

É ferida que dói e não se sente

É um contentamento descontente

É dor que desatina sem doer

 

Ainda que eu falasse a língua dos homens

E falasse a língua dos anjos, sem amor eu nada seria

 

É um não querer mais que bem querer

É solitário andar por entre a gente

É um não contentar-se de contente

É cuidar que se ganha em se perder

 

É um estar-se preso por vontade

É servir a quem vence, o vencedor

É um ter com quem nos mata a lealdade

Tão contrário a si é o mesmo amor

 

Estou acordado e todos dormem

Todos dormem. Todos dormem

Agora vejo em parte

Mas então veremos face a face

 

É só o amor! É só o amor

Que conhece o que é verdade

 

Ainda que eu falasse

A língua dos homens

E falasse a língua dos anjos

Sem amor eu nada seria

So alt wie das Vermessungswesen, so alt ist auch der Wunsch die gemessenen Ergebnisse in Zahlen und Karten darzustellen. Leider wurde die Vermessung in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten auf Grund von politischen Verhältnissen oft nur kleinräumig und inhomogen betrieben. Die Folge waren unzählige, unterschiedliche Bezugs- und Koordinatensysteme, die einen Vergleich von Messungen über Grenzen hinweg sehr erschwerte. Doch auch in der heutigen Zeit, und dem Wandel des Vermessungswesens hin zum Einsatz von satellitengestützten Messverfahren, ist diese Problematik aktueller denn je.

It was a really wonderful day at the end of September but very cold and frosty on top of the mountains.

 

Mount Evans is a 14,265 feet (4,348 m) mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m)) in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak — another Front Range fourteener within a short distance of a major city — which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft (50 m).

 

The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt. Mount Evans can be seen from over 100 miles away to the east, and many miles in other directions. Mount Evans dominates the Denver Metropolitan Area skyline, rising over 9,000 feet above the area. Mount Evans can be seen from points south of Castle Rock, up to (65 miles (105 km) south) and as far north as Fort Collins (95 miles (153 km) north), and from areas near Limon (105 miles (169 km) east). In the early days of Colorado tourism, Mount Evans and Denver were often in competition with Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs.

 

Summit Lake is a tarn which sits at 12,836 feet (3,912 m) altitude in a glacial cirque on the north face of Mount Evans and the east face of Mount Spalding. To the north, there is a col (12,855 feet/3918 m altitude) looking down into the chain of two cirques holding the Chicago Lakes at the headwaters of Chicago Creek. By one count that includes several unnamed lakes, Summit Lake is the 13th highest lake in the United States. In 1915, the USGS reported that Summit Lake was the highest lake in Colorado, at 12,740 feet. Later secondary sources occasionally report it as the highest lake in the United States.

The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in April, 1965. (Wikipedia)

Golden Gate Canyon State Park (Rocky Mountains, Colorado).

 

Aspen is a common name for certain tree species; some, but not all, are classified by botanists in the section Populus, of the poplar genus.

All of the aspens typically grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling, and spread by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 m (98–130 ft) from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason, it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands. One such colony in Utah, given the nickname of "Pando", is estimated to be 80,000 years old, making it possibly the oldest living colony of aspens. Some aspen colonies become very large with time, spreading about 1 m (3.3 ft) per year, eventually covering many hectares. They are able to survive forest fires, because the roots are below the heat of the fire, with new sprouts growing after the fire burns out.

 

Aspens do not thrive in the shade, and it is difficult for seedlings to grow in an already mature aspen stand. Fire indirectly benefits aspen trees, since it allows the saplings to flourish in open sunlight in the burned landscape. Lately, aspens have an increased popularity in forestry, mostly because of their fast growth rate and ability to regenerate from sprouts, making the reforestation after harvesting much cheaper, since no planting or sowing is required.

 

In contrast with many trees, aspen bark is base-rich, meaning aspens are important hosts for bryophytes and act as food plants for the larvae of butterfly (Lepidoptera) species—see List of Lepidoptera that feed on poplars.

 

Young aspen bark is an important seasonal forage for the European hare and other animals in early spring. Aspen is also a tree of choice of the European beaver.(Wikipedia)

This was built for the Lands of Classic Castle and continues the story about Paul von Brickenstein

 

A little scene from Paul von Brickenstein's childhood. He and his friends found a cave in the forest of Lenfald and try to tease the inhabitant.

I've heard this spot at the Crystal River Mill near Marble, Colorado referred to as the most photographed spot in the state. I don't think that's true partly because there's a 4WD trail that tends to discourage the crowds. On this late night adventure during the peak of the fall foliage season, I decided to make a run for my vision of this historic mill with some long-exposure star trails above.

 

In this case, I had a pretty big challenge come up though… just outside of Marble, a deer bolted out of the woods and flashed right in front of my 4Runner. I was going about 45 and ended up killing the deer instantly and causing damage to my 4Runner. I had a few minutes on one of the pullouts to assess the damage and consider my options. And after pulling a bunch of metal and other materials out of my wheel wells to get some of my turning radius, I determined that nothing critical had been damaged… I still had some lights! So I made the decision to stick with my plan and continue on to 4WD trail up to the mill.

 

There is a lot more to this post... see the rest of the backstory, the techniques, and get free wallpaper from www.coloradocaptures.com/starry-night-star-trails-crystal-river-mill

Panorama view on our way (Mt Evans Rd) to Summit Lake and Mount Evans in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado.

 

The Front Range is a mountain range of the Southern Rocky Mountains of North America located in the central portion of the U.S. State of Colorado and southeastern portion of the U.S. State of Wyoming. It is the first mountain range encountered moving west along the 40th parallel north across the Great Plains of North America. The Front Range runs north-south between Casper, Wyoming and Pueblo, Colorado and rises nearly 10,000 feet above the Great Plains. Longs Peak, Mount Evans, and Pikes Peak are its most prominent peaks, visible from the Interstate 25 corridor. The area is a popular destination for mountain biking, hiking, climbing, and camping during the warmer months and for skiing and snowboarding during winter. Millions of years ago the present-day Front Range was home to ancient mountain ranges, deserts, beaches, and even oceans.(Wikipedia)

Apesar de ter retornado ontem a tarde para ir com alguns amigos que desejavam tambem conhecer esse "Paraiso" ainda pouco conhecido da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, vou encerrar por enquanto a serie de fotos que fiz na ultima sexta feira na trilha que leva a Pedra da Tartaruga e as cinco praias quase selvagens da costa de nossa cidade.

 

Esta foto foi tirada na subida da trilha que leva a cabeça da tartaruga, podemos ver no primeiro plano a Praia do Perigoso, tirando a Praia de Buzios que é toda de pedras, a Praia do Perigoso é a que tem o mais facil, por isto podemos ver que o calor e o feriado prolongado levou essa "multidão" pelos padrões locais. A Praia do Meio que publiquei na serie duas fotos, a Praia Funda e a pequenissima Praia do Inferno que não é possivel ser vista do Alto da Pedra da Tartaruga são mais vazias pela difuldade maior nas trilhas que levam ate ela

 

Na sequencia que tem as fotos abertas, vemos a Praia do Perigoso que aparece no primeiro plano e duas fotos da Praia do Meio que tambem esta assinalada na foto principal

Truth be told, I'm jealous of Jayme's dogs and his fantastic photo's he takes of them. So I set out to take my own dog's portrait photo. First, I went out to the garage and dug out the box buried deep in the dark at the back. Then I opened the box, took out my dog, blew the dust off of him and put him down. Next I set up the shot, told the dog to sit and went to get the camera. Everything was all good until I went to snap the shot. As soon as I aimed the camera at him, he turned around, said Look, I'm Sally Fields as the Flying Nun and flew off over the fence and out of sight. Typical dog.

 

View with Sally Fields (you know you like her, you really, REALLY like her)

(for those of you waiting for my Misheard Lyrics shot, don't. The only song I can come up with is KC & The Sunshine Band's " Shake Your Boobies " which I found out is really Booty rather quickly.

If you haven't checked out Jayme's Photostream I suggest you give it a try. It's amazing

 

Por tanto amor, Por tanta emoção

A vida me fez assim

Doce ou atroz, Manso ou feroz

Eu caçador de mim

 

Preso a canções, entregue a paixões

Que nunca tiveram fim

Vou me encontrar, longe do meu lugar

Eu, caçador de mim

 

Neste Sábado retornei nesta que para mim é uma das trilhas mais bonitas da cidade, pois alguns amigos aqui do Flickr desejaram ir tambem, e apesar ja ter subido nesta trlha a menos de 15 dias, a subida de ontem alem de muita diversão, pois é impossivel não rir com algumas figuras que vão com a gente e que só sabem reclamar na subida, mas quando chegam la em cima não querem mais sair, tambem acabei retornando por um caminho diferente com outras opções de "Mirantes" e que terminava atras do Shopping Rio Sul.

Un point de faiblesse dans la barrière et nous voilà projeté sur les Hauts Plateaux du Vercors , une des plus grandes réserves naturelles de France.

 

La barrière est du Vercors , avec ses pas , ses falaises , ses arêtes , son Mont -Aiguille , est certainement un des plus bels endroits de France pour parcourir des sentiers vertigineux en moyenne montagne...

These colorful ducks are becoming more prevalent in Florida. They nest in tree cavities and sometimes build their nests in some of the dead palm trees in the area.

Manhã, tão bonita manhã, na vida, uma nova canção

Cantando só teus olhos, teu riso, tuas mãos

Pois há de haver um dia, em que virás!!!

 

Das cordas do meu violão, que só teu amor procurou

Vem uma voz, falar dos beijos perdidos,nos lábios teus

 

Canta o meu coração, Alegria voltou

Tão feliz a manhã

Deste amor

 

Na semana que passou foi entregue a Vista Chinesa aos Cariocas e os visitantes de nossa cidade, ela estava já alguns meses fechada para restauração. Esta foi a maior intervenção que o Pagode recebeu deste de sua inauguração em 1903. voltando inclusive a sua cor original.

 

Mas tirando a cor original e o seu entorno que foi totalmente restaurado, não há muitas diferenças aparentes na estrutura do Pavilhão, talvez pela boa conservação que já havia no Pagode, foi aberta ou restaurada não sei ao certo uma trilha que tive o prazer de hoje percorrer em parte, que vai pelo meio da floresta ate a Mesa do Imperador, local muito usado pela Família Imperial para Piqueniques

 

Aproveito para desejar a todas as Pessoas de Boa Vontade que aqui passam, uma excelente semana, repleta de Paz, Saúde, Alegrias e muita Prosperidade

 

* Todas as fotos estão Abertas, pois já foram publicadas anteriormente e elas foram tiradas em dias e horarios diferentes. A primeira foto assim como a foto principal, foi tirada hoje pela manha e a ultima é uma imagem do Filme "Rio"

Details:

Die 17 Kliniken des UKT und die Institute sind im Tal und auf den Höhen des Stadtgebiets angesiedelt. Neben dem Uniklinikum garantieren in Tübingen drei weitere Kliniken eine umfassende medizinische Versorgung.

Rund 1.500 Betten.

Etwa 62.000 Patienten kommen jährlich zur stationären Behandlung. In den Ambulanzen, Spezialsprechstunden und Polikliniken werden rund 300.000 Patienten versorgt.

 

Klinikum Berg, aka Schnarrenberg

Der Südhang des Schnarrenbergs wurde bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts von den Tübinger Weingärtnern, den so genannten Gôgen, für den Weinbau genutzt.

Die weinbaubedingte Terrasierung des Hangs ist noch heute sichtbar.

Eine Schnarre ist ein hölzernes Instrument, mit dem von den Kindern der Weinbauern während der Weinlese die Vögel aus den traubenbehangenen Weinbergen vertrieben wurden. Eine Schnarre ist vielerorts gleichbedeutend mit einer Ratsche.

 

UKT "Regional-Krankenhaus"

Das 1805 gegründete Universitätsklinikum Tübingen (UKT) gehört zu den Zentren der deutschen Hochschulmedizin und trägt zum Verbund von Hochleistungsmedizin, Forschung und Lehre in Deutschland bei.

Estas fotos de la serie pertenecen a tres lugares de Caminha, un bonito pueblo portugués en la desembocadura del río Miño.

 

La Mata Nacional de Camarido, el mayor pinar atlántico portugués, al norte del río Duero.

Fué mandado plantar por el Rey Don Dinís en el siglo XIV, al borde mismo de la playa.

Basicamente es de pino bravo y ha sido repoblado en el año 2011 con 18.000 nuevos árboles tales como pino manso, roble, alcornoque, fresno, sauce.......para rejuvenecer y diversificar un bosque tan antiguo.

Es un LIC (Lugar de Interés Comunitario)

  

La Praia de Moledo, unida a la Praia de Camarido o Praia da Foz do Minho, un arenal con bandera azul comunitaria muy expuesto a vientos y oleajes atlánticos, de una enorme belleza salvaje.....estupenda para practicar surf y windsurf.

  

La Capela de Santo Antão en el monte que domina Caminha, estribaciones de la Serra de Arga, con un mirador increible sobre toda la desembocadura del Río Miño.

Resaltar que este monte ha ardido completamente este verano, da mucha tristeza verlo asi........
