Old doors constitute a History Map. Every patch, every mending, every decorative element, stand for decisions or events that, wheather meaningless or not, got intentionally or serendipitiously trapped making up unique textures.
Las viejas puertas son un mapa de Historia. Cada parche, cada reparación, cada elemento decorativo representan decisiones o sucesos que, insignificantes o no, quedaron atrapados intencionada o involuntariamente formando texturas únicas.

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luz del día
He de esperar al amanecer
He de pensar en una nueva vida
y no debo ceder
Cuando llegue el amanecer
esta noche será también un recuerdo
y comenzará un nuevo día
Memory (Cats. Andrew Lloyd Webber, 1981)

Devoted to my daughter and son, whose efforts in rowing deserve every success / Dedicado a mi hija y a mi hijo, cuyos esfuerzos en remo merecen todo tipo de éxitos.
Au!, vinga, amunt, amunt.
Obre els teus ulls i amunt
puja a la barca amb el teu bagatge
i recorda que la vida és teva.
Adelante vamos, arriba, arriba.
Abre tus ojos y arriba!
Empuja tu barca con tu equipaje
y recuerda que la vida es tuya.
C'mon, let's go, cheer up, courage!
Open your eyes and cheer up!
Pull your boat with your bagage
and remember that life is yours.

Cos you’re fearless in your love
Devoted to compassion
The highest state of art
Piercing in your truth
Sincere in all intention
The way you wear your heart
The way you hold my heart
My fierce friend
I wanna run away tonight
Just leave everything behind
Together we’ll make our sweet escape

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean—
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition......
Read the rest and grab the designer and event info on Threads & Tuneage
Cause when I’m with you
Secrets are safe with me
You don’t have to question it baby
Cause when I see you
The pain just learns to fade away
You’re the one to make me feel safe
That’s the love I got for you babe...
My eyes on you....

I could think of nothing better suited to an image devoted to moonlight and beach serenity than the classical music composition "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy.
This is a composite of two of my images combined in Photoshop with the texture "Captured Light at Sea-4" by Jai Johnson. www.dailytexture.com/
I took the foreground image at Cape Lookout National Seashore, NC and converted it to a night image www.flickr.com/photos/140621633@N05/31839080438/in/datepo....

Something different for today, four photos devoted to a single building: the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building.
As the first Australian building designed by Frank Gehry, the celebrated Canadian architect, the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building is a flagship project of University of Technology Sydney’s billion-dollar-plus City Campus Master Plan.
It provides teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for the Business School – as well as extensive public spaces – across 11 occupied floors. While it is available to all students, it has a focus on postgraduate and executive education, and bringing UTS researchers together.
The building is named for Australian-Chinese businessman and philanthropist Dr Chau Chak Wing, who donated $20 million to the project, along with an additional $5 million for Australia-China scholarships. Dr Chau Chak Wing’s son studied architecture at UTS.

Since it's Sunday today please find included some high-falutin material so that you can waste your time (or procastinate a wee bit if you see this pict during the week he he)
Word has it that the caves in the island were used by the Spanish Inquisition. So... let me propose for you this renowned interpretation for non-Spanish speakers. Images are strong and can hurt sensitive people. Needless to say, you might try the link below as well, a different, more resigned approach, just a Spanish song.
If you ever visit the place, you'll find St. John's footprints along the stairs, the last one just at the end: just place a foot on them and you'll get over different kinds of deseases. Eventually, once up there, make a wish and ring the bell for three times. It didn't work in my case.
As a curiosity, the place was donated to the San Juan de la Peña Monastery (Crown of Aragon in the epoch) in 1053. Honestly, I really don't know if any San Juan de la Peña's monk ever visited the place: it currently takes about 4 h by car, including quite a few funny winding road stretches. About five weeks riding a horse or walking 8h/day.

Como es Domingo incluyo material de altos vuelos para que podáis perder el tiempo (o procastinar si véis la foto durante la semana je je).
Se dice que las cuevas de la isla fueron usadas por la Inquisición. Así que para los hispanoablantes propongo este enlace, sin perjuicio de que pinchen también el de arriba por supuesto, aunque puede herir la sensibilidad del espectador. Si visitáis el sitio, encontraréis huellas de San Juan por los escalones, la última al final. Poned un pié en ellas y sanaréis de diferentes enfermedades. Finalmente, una vez arriba, formulad un deseo y tocad tres veces la campana. No funcionó, en mi caso.
Como curiosidad, el lugar fue donado al Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña (Corona de Aragón en la época), en 1053. Sinceramente, no creo que ningún monje de San Juan de la Peña visitara nunca realmente ese lugar: hoy día cuesta unas 4 h en coche, incluyendo unos cuantos tramos divertidos de curvas. Unas cinco semanas a caballo o andando 8h/día.
The Princely Beguinage Ten Wijngaerde (Dutch: Prinselijk Begijnhof Ten Wijngaerde) is the only preserved beguinage in the Belgian city of Bruges. There are no more Beguines living there, but since 1927 it has functioned as a convent for Benedictines, founded by canon Hoornaert. In the same year the houses at the west side were also reshaped and enlarged into the Monasterium De Wijngaard, a priory of Benedictine nuns.
The complex includes a gothic beguinage church and about thirty white painted houses dating from the late 16th, 17th and 18th century. Practically all of these are built around a central yard. The main entrance with gate can be reached via the three-arched stone bridge, the Wijngaard Bridge. In a bay the image of the holy Elizabeth of Hungary can be seen, who was the patron of many beguinages. De Wijngaard is also devoted to Saint Alexius. The entrance gate was built in 1776 by master mason Hendrik Bultynck. The first Beguine house next to the entrance is furnished as a museum and the exhibition includes paintings, 17th and 18th century furniture and lacework, among others. A second gate gives access to the Sas House, via the Sas Bridge.
This post is devoted to inexperienced bird photographers and those of you with some experience under your belt or who aren't into photography are advised to skip it. First, juvenile Black-crowned and Yellow-crowned Night Herons are difficult to distinguish. According to Sibley, the Yellow-crowned bill is dark and the legs long where the Black-crowned bill is more sharply pointed, extensively yellow along the bottom, and the edges of the wings have large white spots. Feel free to disagree but to my eye this guy is a Yellow-crown.
I was at Peaceful Waters Sanctuary, in Wellington, Florida. I had earlier missed a potential keeper Yellow-crowned shot, changing my settings to take a portrait with a lower ISO and lower shutter speed when the bird, who showed no signs of leaving, left. The lesson, if you're after a flight shot, keep your flight shot settings.
My arm can't hold up the lens indefinitely. I don't generally use a tripod and my lens is not a lightweight. It's therefore important to be able to tell when a bird is ready to leave. As indicated earlier, it's not science but the more time you spend observing the more capable you will become of predicting behavior. The bird in this photograph, was on a manmade structure toward the back of the Sanctuary. It was there for 30 minutes and looked very comfortable, so I moved on. After circling back, it was then preening (cleaning its feathers). That's a good indication that a take-off is not imminent but might be worth waiting for. It was already late morning, and the sun was strong. This meant that the only light that looked good to me was direct, meaning that the sun was behind me on a straight line to the bird. If I could see my shadow, it would be pointing at where I wanted the bird to be in order to make a pleasing image. That's what I do. The bird could have left in any direction, but only northward would put it in front of a pleasing background in the best light. If there was wind, it would generally take off into the wind. But this morning the wind was not a significant factor. I might not have waited for my chance if there were other subjects to photograph, but this was the only game in town and the more time I spent with it the more I felt invested in the endeavor. OK, another 30 minutes later I was questioning my logic as I continued to wipe the sweat from my brow. Then the bird turned and faced away from me. Game over. I looked at a sidelight angle but didn't care for the light or the background. Yes, I would have taken it, but I'll shoot anything. Then it turned back, stretched its wings, and pooped. Clear signs of an imminent departure. More preening. More sweat. Ten minutes later, another stretch, another poop and I could see it talking to the tower. That's what it looks like to me when it's looking more intently in its direction of departure. That's when I raised my camera and got ready. (Not he first time but the first time I felt that there was going to be some action.) I got lucky, it flew parallel to my position in the best light available at the time, in front a dark background that wasn't close to the subject. All important points to consider.

I've joined a Facebook group devoted to posting photos and locations of Snowy Owls. What I've learned on the site is that often Snowy Owls are besieged by photographers who seem to care more about getting the shot than they care about the welfare of the bird. The owls are flushed unintentionally by photographers wanting to get closeups and they are flushed deliberately by photographers who want to get a flight shot. I read that in order to get more shots, one person drove across a field, in pursuit, after an owl took flight. So, this afternoon when I found this beautiful female Snowy Owl sitting on the ground far across a field, I kept my distance, shot from the window of my car, and didn't stay long. I wanted her to be free to concentrate on finding lunch instead of keeping track of me. I left feeling happy for this owl that had found a peaceful spot "far from the madding crowd."

Give me again all that was there,
Give me the sun that shone.
Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
Give me the lad that’s gone
Dame de nuevo todo lo que había.
Dame el sol que brillaba.
Dame los ojos, dame el alma,
Dame al muchacho que se ha ido

Premiers moments de la matinée. Nichés dans un hôtel hors d'age dans un petit bourg étroit face à une mer omniprésente.
Non loin de la Hague. Une série consacrée au Nez de Jobourg brodé de chemins et de landes brossés par la mer.
Nous sommes en mi-janvier, pas une âme, pas un bruit, sauf le vent et quelques oiseaux de mer.

First moments of the morning. Nestled in a hotel out of little town in a narrow age face an omnipresent sea.
Not far from the Hague. A series devoted to Jobourg and embroidered moorland paths filed down by the sea.
We are mid-January not a soul, not a sound except the wind and seabirds.

The afternoon was devoted to lava fields, we stopped at the village of Vik before crossing the Myrdalssandur volcanic washout plains. We ended the day passing through the vast Eldhraun lava field, the world's largest recorded lava field in the past thousand years. These are vast and desolate places but the essence of Iceland with its 130 volcanoes.
Marching on, never forgetting
Always telling the story
Reasons so fitting
The end goal is worth fighting for
Have faith and inner strength
A bond at the very core
Sparrows always amusing, the chicks must be the laziest of the youngsters - they even sit on top of the food demanding to be fed by the parent bird

Travel to Tuscany, Italy /// Reise in die Toskana, Italien /// Siena
The devoted follower will have realized that I've posted a shot before that I had taken in this very location. Well, today I got another chance to find an interesting angle on this.
I was trying to use the strong lines to my advantage and get a human element just entering this little "foyer in the foyer!" The mirror is great, of course, to create an illusion of depth. Getting the vertical lines straight wasn't the easiest bit of post processing here. Whenever I got those straight, I totally hated how crooked the mirror looked. It was always going to be tricky since it's not flush on the wall but rather protrudes into the room on the bottom.

Thin branches
Erase the stars from the sky.
A strong wind again.
The shadows have gone blind.
Got caught in crossroads
Spider network.
Knots tie the space
Thoughts are sleepless.
Deprived of constancy
Life is like monsoons.

Тонкие ветки
Стирают с неба звезды.
Вновь сильный ветер.
Тени ослепли.
Попались в перекрестки
Паучьей сети.
Узлом вяжут пространство
Мысли бессонно.
Лишена постоянства
Жизнь, как муссоны.
