Please enjoy an image of the dazzling skyline of Sydney captured from my walk across the Harbour Bridge. It would appear that I cannot shake the fog in many of the cities I photograph as of recent years (i.e. Seattle, LA, etc). Nevertheless, even with the blanket of mist lurking overhead, Sydney was alive and bursting with activity below.
In the foreground is The Rocks, the historical settlement that would eventually expand into our city of Sydney. In the center left is Circular Quay, from which you can take ferries to Manly Beach, Taronga Zoo, Darling Harbour, or to any number of destinations. I would opine that it would take extremely creative efforts to avoid Circular Quay for any mode of transportation in Sydney. It is the central hub and battery that keeps the city connected.
A very special thanks to Richard (a.k.a. EXOGRAMS) and his wife for meeting me on that very humid evening along the shores of Sydney Harbour, after which several hours of night photography and entertaining stories were shared. (Congrats again on the monumental achievement of earning your doctorate degree, my friend)!
Have a terrific weekend (and a Happy 4th of July for my fellow contacts in the States)!

Le pont de Manhattan est un pont suspendu de la ville de New York au-dessus de l'East River, qui relie la partie inférieure de l'île de Manhattan à l'arrondissement de Brooklyn. Les travaux du pont commencèrent en 1901, le 31 décembre 1909, le pont fût ouvert au public, mais sa construction (d'un coût de 31 millions de dollars de l'époque) n'était pas encore achevée. Il sera complètement terminé en 1912.
Le pont possède deux niveaux de circulation. Le niveau supérieur offre quatre voies pour les véhicules, deux dans chaque sens. Sur le niveau inférieur, on trouve 3 voies pour les véhicules, quatre voies ferrées pour le métro et une allée pour les piétons. À ce niveau, le sens de circulation peut être modulé selon les besoins du trafic : les trois voies dans le même sens, ou deux voies dans un sens et une à l'opposé.

The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous original Tacoma Narrows Bridge that opened and collapsed in 1940. It has four vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway. The upper level, originally used for streetcars, has two lanes in each direction, and the lower level is one-way and has three lanes in peak direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use the Manhattan Bridge.
"... A los moros entablados
ya los vendió en el remate,
porque era un disparate
también tenerlos parados.
Los viajes se han cortado,
las tropas están escasas
por eso su tiempo pasa
donde se fue aventajando
cuarenta años tropiando
pa Ferrante y a Pablaza ..."

Returning from Galway me and my cousin SJ seen this amazing sunset and raced my motor home as fast as we could go. Running out of location options we finally reached this amazing little spot just in the nick of time. I just managed to capture the sun right on the horizon just seconds before it vanished for another day...

Incorporating many elements into a wide angle shot could be even more challenging than the use of a telephoto lens to isolate one element in abstract, because it is hard to crop out unwanted item, but it could be extremely satisfying if done successfully. The context it provides to the scene brings back fond memory of the original experience and allows one to discover after.
Can anyone help me explain the purpose of those fences ? They were kind of in the way at first when I tried to find a good spot to shoot at the scene. But looking back, the fantastic interest and perspective it offered is priceless.

I have some loquat trees in my back yard in Central Florida, USA. During late winter and early spring, the Cedar Waxwings come in large numbers to eat the fruit. I have seen over 200 in my yard in the past few weeks. The waxy red tips on the wings identify this bird as an adult.
This was taken out an open bedroom window from about 15 feet away.

Liñares es la típica aldea de montaña ubicada en lo alto de la Serra do Suído.......todo el núcleo es lo que se ve, casas apiñaditas protegidas de los vientos por las montañas y con sus prados al borde del río Xesta.
Desde aquí también se accede a la famosa Cascada de A Freixa, de una altura tal que a mi llevando a las perras me pone muy nerviosa, se ponen a nadar al borde mismo de la cascada :-) asi que yo con ellas no vuelvo por allí.....
Pertenece a la parroquia de Xesta (San Bartolomé) en el ayuntamiento de A Lama y tiene un maravilloso puente llamado Ponte Liñares, por el que pasa uno de los Caminos Reales.
______________________________
Estos Caminos Reales eran utilizados entre los siglos XIV y XVII por los Arrieros, que eran los encargados de transportar el vino, en este caso desde Ribadavia hasta Pontevedra, donde lo cambiaban por productos tipicos de la costa, como la sal y el pescado.
Iban en grupos de 7 a 15 personas, con carros tirados por mulas o caballos, por lo que estas vias estaban empedradas.

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day.

Aventura do Fim de Semana
A Pedra da Gávea foi a primeira formação rochosa batizada pelos Portugueses em 1502, nome dado por ela lembrar uma Gávea dos navios e é uma das mais altas e bonitas montanhas do Rio de Janeiro.
Ela é o maior monólito a beira mar do planeta e ela é a cabeça do Gigante deitado que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro formam , isto por si só já lhe garante mistérios e lendas, mas não o bastante, ela ainda possui inscrições ditas como fenícias e um relevo que lembra o rosto chamado a cabeça do imperador, alem de um imenso portal cravado na rocha que dizem ser uma passagem para outra dimensão.
Neste fim de semana depois de meses me preparando em outras trilhas, como da Babilônia, Urca, Leme, Caeté, Pedra da Tartaruga, Dois Irmãos, Pico da Tijuca, e Pedra Bonita, subi finalmente nesta que é a trilha mais pesada e cansativa da cidade, para subir a pessoa precisa muito mais que uma simples boa vontade, principalmente se já não tiver 20 anos, e necessário um mínimo preparo de físico, não ter problema com exposição à altura e saber que ira fazer algumas escaladas inclusive em primeiro grau.
Há pelo menos três trilhas para subir a Pedra da Gávea, mas atualmente apenas a que começa no Joá esta sendo utilizada, logo no inicio a trilha é bastante fácil, passamos por uma guarita e seguimos por uma estrada de pé de moleque construída por escravos a mando do Imperador D. Pedro no século XIX, mas depois de 10 minutos subindo por esta estrada a trilha começa. A parti daí a trilha não da um refresco é subida sem parar, para quem conhece a trilha da Pedra Bonita , a da Gávea tem 95% da trilha semelhante a parte final e mais cansativa da Pedra Bonita, o restante são escaladas, sendo que algumas ate relativamente fácil e outras difíceis como a famosa Carrasqueira.
O Tempo total da subida varia entre 02 horas ate 04 horas ou mais, como eu e o grupo não tínhamos mais 20 ou 30 anos e nunca tínhamos subido nela antes, fomos devagar conversando e aproveitando a trilha e levamos cerca de 04 horas de subida e um pouco mais de duas horas para descer, sim descer a Pedra da Gávea se mostrou também bastante cansativo, principalmente para descer os trechos de escalada.
Das varias escaladas desta trilha a mais conhecida, temida e perigosa é a Carrasqueira, eu confesso que tive muito mais receio na descida dela que na subida, apesar de ter tido câimbras a partir da segunda metade da subida, agora vejo que mesmo aparentando estar bem ao chegar à carrasqueira que já quase no final da trilha, o melhor seria antes de subi descansar os músculos fazendo ate um alongamento por pelo menos meia hora, pois o esforço muscular para subir a Carrasqueira é bem pesado e você que já vem forçando os músculos da Coxa e da Batata da Perna desde inicio, pois como disse essa é realmente uma trilha muito pesada.
Quando eu já tava na segunda metade da Carrasqueira começou a me dar uma câimbra que não conseguia dobrar o joelho, mas como eu estava em cima de um dos platôs, esperei por uns 15 minutos e aproveitei um pouco a melhora e subi o restante, depois da carrasqueira o restante é ate relativamente fácil, ainda há uma pequena escalada, mas bem mais simples, mas que para mim foi um pouco mais difícil, pois ainda tava com câimbras, mas realmente quando chegamos ao topo, temos a sensação de vitoria por ter conseguido subir a pior trilha da cidade, pois muito acabam voltando, principalmente da carrasqueira e ainda somos premiados por um dos visuais mais fantásticos da cidade do Rio de Janeiro.

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.
