11º Imperador Inca - 1493 – 1527 - Wayna Qhapaq ou Huayna Capac
Quando Huayna Capac morreu, o império estava desgastado e ocorreu uma disputa entre seus dois filhos.
Cuzco que era a capital havia sido dada para o suposto novo imperador Huascar. Atahualpa reivindicava ser o filho favorito de Huayna Capac, visto que a ele fora dado o território ao norte de Quito (cidade moderna do Equador), razão porque Huascar teria ficado muito bravo.
A guerra civil de sucessão se travou entre os dois irmãos, chamada Guerra dos Dois Irmãos, na qual morreram cerca de cem mil de pessoas.
No meio disto tudo, rumores se espalharam pelo Império Inca como fogo sobre um estranho 'homem barbado' que 'vivia numa casa no mar' e tinha 'raios e trovões em suas mãos'. Este homem estranho começava a matar muitos dos soldados incas com doenças que trouxera.
Este homem, o Espanhol Francisco Pizarro, aproveitou-se desse contexto de brigas, de lendas, e aliado aos cavalos*, acabou com todo o Império Inca!
*Li em um guia, mas não achei na internet, que os Incas tinham medo dos cavalos, por não conhecerem.
Fim!

Death Road?
Diz o guia que uma vez ele caiu, mas ficou preso nas árvores. Mostrou até as cicatrizes.
Eu não duvido, eu cai também!!
Hahaha, só que para o lado de dentro!
:D
Esse é o shopping. Tudo muito bonito e ao mesmo tempo muito fresco. Do lado de dentro, morri de vontade de fazer fotos, mas os sacanas não deixam, tanto que você tem que levar câmeras, celulares e carteiras em bolsas que são lacradas por eles na entrada e somente são abertas na saída. =(

The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris that stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the Place de l'Étoile (Star Square). It is at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The arch honours those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars, and today also includes the tomb of the unknown soldier.
The Arc is the linchpin of the historic axis (L'Axe historique) — a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares on a route which goes from the courtyard of the Louvre Palace to the outskirts of Paris. The monument was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, and its iconographic program pitted heroically nude French youths against bearded Germanic warriors in chain mail and set the tone for public monuments, with triumphant nationalistic messages, until World War I.
The monument stands over 51 metres (165 ft) in height and is 45 metres wide. It is the second largest triumphal arch in existence. Its design was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe is so colossal that three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919, marking the end of hostilities in World War I, Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane through it, and was caught in a newsreel.

Tentei outras macros no modo manual, sem uso do Flash, mas nenhuma ficou como essa.
Quem sabe o nome dessa flor?
We thought we will catch the sunrise so woke early and waited and waited and finally around 7 i guess we saw the Sun this way .
Another handheld long exposure, this one no doubt confused further by being taken by a hand and a brain that clearly belonged to a body not sober. From a great night out in Audio, Brighton.
Edgar Degas (1834-1917)
In a Café, also called Absinthe
1873
Oil on canvas
H. 92; W. 68.5 m.
Dans un café, also called l'Absinthe [In a Café, also called Absinthe]
Unlike his Impressionist friends, Degas was an essentially urban painter, who liked to paint the enclosed spaces of stage shows, leisure activities and pleasure spots.
In a cafe, a fashionable meeting place, a man and a woman, although sitting side-by-side, are locked in silent isolation, their eyes empty and sad, with drooping features and a general air of desolation. The painting can be seen as a denunciation of the dangers of absinthe, a violent, harmful liquor which was later prohibited. Parallels have been drawn with Zola's novel L'Assommoir written a few years later and indeed the novelist told the painter: "I quite plainly described some of your pictures in more than one place in my pages." The realistic dimension is flagrant: the cafe has been identified – it is "La Nouvelle Athènes", in place Pigalle, a meeting place for modern artists and a hotbed of intellectual bohemians. The framing gives the impression of a snapshot taken by an onlooker at a nearby table. But this impression is deceptive because, in fact, the real life effect is carefully contrived. The picture was painted in the studio and not in the cafe.
Degas asked people he knew to pose for the figures: Ellen André was an actress, and an artist's model; Marcellin Desboutin was an engraver and artist. The painting cast a slur on their reputations and Degas had to state publicly that they were not alcoholics.
The off-centre framing, introducing empty spaces and slicing off the man's pipe and hand, was inspired by Japanese prints, but Degas uses it here to produce a drunken slewing. The presence of the shadow of the two figures painted as a silhouette reflected in the long mirror behind them is also expressive and significant.
The Panchchuli peaks are a group of five snow-capped Himalayan peaks lying at the end of the eastern Kumaon region, near Munsiyari, in Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand state. The peaks have altitudes ranging from 6,334 metres to 6,904 metres. They form the watershed between the Gori and the Darmaganga valleys.
The experience of getting up on a cold winter morning to capture the sunrise was amazing. Really really unnerving though.

One of the best shows I've been to in a while <3. Excuse the terrible, terrible grain from my terrible camera. Curse venues who pat you down like they're TSA, making it so you can't sneak in DSLRs.

A pedidos, vai uma historinha:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O apelido Trem da Morte surgiu ao longo dos anos motivado pelas histórias contadas e aumentadas por aqueles que faziam a viagem através da Bolívia. Acontece que nas décadas de 1970/80 a Bolívia passava por uma situação econômica difícil e ocorriam muitas brigas e alguns assaltos contra os passageiros do trem. Além disso, muitos bolivianos viajavam em cima dos vagões, como no Rio de janeiro, por não terem dinheiro para comprar a passagem, alguns caiam durante o trajeto e logicamente morriam. Eventualmente também algum vagão de carga descarrilava durante o percurso. Dessa série de acontecimentos contados de boca-em-boca é que foi surgindo o apelido de Trem da Morte. Outra origem para o nome vem do fato de que há algumas décadas a Bolívia sofreu uma grande epidemia de febre amarela e o trem foi utilizado para o transporte dos doentes, sendo então apelidado de Trem da Morte. A epidemia passou, mas o nome continuou a ser utilizado. Nos anos 90 passou a ser conhecido também como "Trem do pó" porque é muito utilizado pelos traficantes que levam a cocaína produzida na Bolívia até a fronteira com o Brasil e depois para a Europa

Shot of the Heritage Village in Manesar, taken a while ago, havent taken any new shots so uploading old ones which I have not posted .
Aquela cidade é louca, na sua frente céu azul, tempo bom, e ao virar de costas, o que vemos é tempo nublado.
É como está aí nesta foto.
Sacsayhuaman, não Sexy Woman! Dizia o nosso guia Carlos.
Ele falava também, que o Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, um dos incas fodões (olha o pleonasmo, hehe), desenhou a cidade de Cuzco em forma de puma (eles acreditavam que ele é o guardião das coisas terrenas). Sexy Woman, ops, Sacsayhuaman, era justamente a cabeça dele. Essas pedras em "zig-zag" aí na foto, era a testa franzida do puma.
A princípio era uma fortaleza militar, mas assim como nos outros lugares do Vale Sagrado, também tinha sua função religiosa (lá também tem um relógio solar...).
Neste campo aberto, todo ano, em 24 de junho, no solstício de inverno, realiza-se o festival anual de Inti Raymi, onde se representa o ritual incaico de culto ao deus sol (ou inti).
Dizia o Carlos também, que ano passado deu 10.000 pessoas.
Diziam nós: já pensou uma rave?!
Looking back at my Venice pictures, it made me a little sad. It's such a shame that I didn't have a D-SLR for this trip, my pictures would have been so much more amazing. Venice in particular would have been just incredible for some HDR photography, but in the end I often was left with the usual bane of a digital compact photographer - blown out overexposed skies. This was one of the few photos that didn't have any sky in, and had a good composition of water and buildings. Definitely have to revisit with my D80 one day!
