Ontem, 26 de outubro, depois de trabalhar até as 16 horas, insanamente, fui me encontrar um pouco com o Rio que amo e tenho visitado tão pouco. E, mais uma vez, confirmar que o verso mais certo para descrever minha cidade nos dias de hoje continua sendo este, lá do título, do poeta Fausto Fawcett, na música "Rio 40 Graus" (Fawcett, F. Abreu & Laufer). Por isso só dizendo...
Tks, God, it´s Friday...
..and tks, Devil, it´s Rio.

"Wonder city, Purgatory of Chaos and Beuty."
It´s a verse by the poet Fausto Fawcett, from the song "Rio 40 Graus" ("Rio, 40 degrees") made by him, Fernanda Abreu and Laufer. The more perfect one to describe the city I was born, live and love, nowadays. But, just so...
Tks, God, it´s Friday...
..and tks, Devil, it´s Rio.
Leme Beach, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro / Yesterday, Oct 26-2006
13th century bridge, River Lune, Kirkby Lonsdale.
This was takem after a night of very heavy rain. The previous day, people were playing and swimming in the river!
This one is from 4th July road trip to South Dakota. It was a cloudy day, but it cleared just before the sunset. Was altogether a different experience watching this huge rock formation in golden colors on gray background. Something I'd never experienced. A must visit palce.

The name probably came from the Anglo settlers later since the highest mountain in the San Francisco Bay Area was originally named by the Spaniards as Mount Diablo. Why the devil? Well, turns out that the Spanish conquistadors were trying to capture the Volvon natives and the conquistadors were either bewildered or got lost in this mountain. So they called the mountain the devil and the name stuck until this day. Most indigenous people at the time was captured and relocated to the nearby Missions. There are still remnants of Native village sites that can be found in the nearby Morgan Territory.
After an eight hour mission, Louisiana based US Air Force Boeing B-52H Stratofortress 60-0059/LA - call-sign 'Doom 11' from the 96th 'Red Devils' Bomb Squadron flies short finals to land at RAF Fairford during their stay here in the UK.
Notice how the undercarriage is slightly 'canted' to cater for the slight cross-wind.
It's deceptive as the BUFF was actually coming straight at me as can be seen by the wheels being straight down the approach/runway centre-line but with the fuselage pointing towards the wind which was then blowing the exhaust sideways!

My previous uploads featured the view from the top deck of a bus at Devil’s Dyke in Sussex, some 711 feet (216m) above sea level. It seems only right to show the rest of the bus, so here it is: Seaford & District’s immaculate former Dublin Volvo Olympian / Alexander, P772 SWC. Having walked across the Downs from the top of Ditchling Beacon (even higher at 813 feet above sea level), a trip back down to Brighton seafront on an open-top Olympian was most welcome :-)
It's not showy, but is a new species for my prairie wildflowers species set. I only saw one of these plants so I was lucky to get this.

What a facinating place this is, The Devils Marbles, near Tennant Creek in Northern Territory. Natural erosion over millions of years in this unique part of the world, caused the marble like granite boulders.
These two propably the 2 most popular photographed boulders, standing about 4 metres high. Shot taken 5 minutes after the sunset, looking North.
One thing I quite enjoyed while in the Northern Territory, is the sunset colours on the red rocks and red sands. The reds were so intense! During the full daylight, the red was slightly washed out, definately worth waiting around at these places and waiting for the sunset or sunrise :)

Afternoon light warms the face of Devil's Tower, in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming, which rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain over the Belle Fourche River. It's summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devil's Tower was the first National Monument, established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1906. The Lakota Indian names for the tower translate as "Bear Lodge," and "Brown Buffalo Horn." "Devil's Tower" is a mistranslation of the original Indian name. It came to national attention in the 1977 movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," when the aliens landed on it at the end of the movie.

The location is Devil's Speedway off West Side Road in Death Valley California. Just in back of the salt is Devil's Golf Course.
These were not my props.

Natural sea arch known locally as Devil's Bridge on the Atlantic side of the northeast coast of Antigua. I used a ND darkening filter with f25 and 1/4 second exposure to blur the water in mid morning light. This was as close as I could get to the edge without splashing water spray on the lens, the waves come crashing all the way from Africa.
