This is a 379 seconds exposure in a very cloudy night which was a shame, so no startrails on this one :(, in a pitch black place perfect for this kind of photography. The Menhir was illuminated in 3-4 intervals of 3 secs by a flashlight so we've got enough light to be able to see the texture of the stone.
In Photoshop I layered the composition, one layer with a cold white balance for the sky and one as shot for the Menhir and ground, applied the mask and voila!
Made at the beginning of the 4th and middle of the 3rd millennium b.C., on a chronological age known as "Eborense megalithic era", this megalithic monument, phallic shaped, was erected in a lowland near to Monsaraz's hill, in a isolated way both in harmony with the surroundings.
With almost 5,6m height and 1 of diameter, was discovered in 1969 by Henrique Leonor Pina and José Pires Gonçalves, laid on floor. By the own initiative, the menhir was restored and re-erected in that decade.
With no decorations in its surface, it seems to belong to a very particular megalithic era, represented by many menhirs in the region, like Almendres and de central post of the Xerês Chromelec
It's consider the most notable isolated menhir of Iberic's Peninsula and one of the most notable in whole Europe.

Cada dia tem seu pôr do Sol ...
em cada lugar ou em cada angulo que voce olhar...
vai encontrar um por do sol...
mas será diferente de todos que estarão olhando...
mesmo o sol sendo único ...
importa onde voce esta ,
não com quem voce esta...
para ver o seu sol, e ter a sua despedida...
esta imagem será única na sua alma...
Encontrando-me com um sertanejo,
Perto de um pé de maracujá,
Eu lhe perguntei:
Diga-me caro sertanejo,
Porque razão nasce branca e roxa,
A flor do maracujá?
Ah, pois então eu lhi conto,
A estória que ouvi contá,
A razão pro que nasci branca i roxa,
A frô do maracujá.
Maracujá já foi branco,
Eu posso inté lhe ajurá,
Mais branco qui caridadi,
Mais brando do que o luá.
Quando a frô brotava nele,
Lá pros cunfim do sertão,
Maracujá parecia,
Um ninho de argodão.
Mais um dia, há muito tempo,
Num meis que inté num mi alembro,
Si foi maio, si foi junho,
Si foi janeiro ou dezembro.
Nosso sinhô Jesus Cristo,
Foi condenado a morrê,
Numa cruis crucificado,
Longe daqui como o quê,
Pregaro cristo a martelo,
E ao vê tamanha crueza,
A natureza inteirinha,
Pois-se a chorá di tristeza.
Chorava us campu,
As foia, as ribeira,
Sabiá tamém chorava,
Nos gaio a laranjera,
E havia junto da cruis,
Um pé de maracujá,
Carregadinho de frô,
Aos pé de nosso sinhô.
I o sangue de Jesus Cristo,
Sangui pisado de dô,
Nus pé du maracujá,
Tingia todas as frô,
Eis aqui seu moço,
A estória que eu vi contá,
A razão proque nasce branca i roxa,
A frô do maracujá

London Sovereign VLE23 on route 183 in Harrow.
This picture completes a set of pictures of VLE23, with old VA blinds, on all of Edgware's daily routes (excluding school routes). Since its arrival at Edgware up until September 2016, VLE23 was generally allocated to the 114 and ran on the last day of the route with London Sovereign. However it would occasionally deviate off the 114 with 13 appearances, so far, on the 183, with one such working depicted here in Harrow during July 2016. In addition to this, VLE23 has also made nine appearances on the 292 with the qualifier for Colindale Superstores displaying ASDA. Any bus other than a VH is typically rare on Sovereign's flagship route 13 into Central London. VLEs have, and still do appear on the route albeit very rarely. VLE23 has, to date, only made two appearances (and only two trips!) on the 13, with the last being as recent as the 20th September! For completeness sake, VLE23 has also run on the 605 seven times, 618 once and the 619 twice, to date. The VA blind set does not have 605, and 618/9 which were new routes last year so sightings on these routes have not been counted as it does not have any displays for them!
I was back from Tokyo and you just had a meeting with Jason Wu in Portland as he wanted you for his new fragrance ad campaign ... Lukas texted me to tell me he sent his new girl calling you his special lady and I wondered if Elyse knew he called you that way ... He warned me to be super nice with you as it was your birthday and that it was your first all alone ...

“Is there any point to which you would wish to draw my attention?'
'To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.'
'The dog did nothing in the night-time.'
'That was the curious incident,' remarked Sherlock Holmes.”

We currently live in Elysium — the heaven on earth.
## 1. We are privileged
Think about it. If you are a Westerner, from Europe, from America, or much of the developed world, you are living in heaven.
You have no more Bubonic Plague to kill you as a child. Most diseases are cured, besides AIDS, and things like cancer.
You have enough to feed yourself. You will not starve to death.
You won’t freeze to death. You have no fear of being killed by the neighboring tribe. You won’t die of thirst in the desert.
## 2. We have all the tools
We have wifi. We have smartphones. We have cars. We have digital technology, and the internet.
We have access to infinite petabytes of data. We can learn anything we want to, with the touch of our fingers.
We have good public schools, that teach us the fundamentals of language.
We live in society with our fellow human beings. We have brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts, and other people we can give our love to— and be loved back in return.
## 3. Gatekeepers don’t exist anymore
There are no more gatekeepers. If your dream is to pursue your passion for a living, with the internet you can make it possible. Upload your film on YouTube. Share your writing on a blog. Share your ideas on social media. Share your photos on Instagram.
You have coffee, and access to spices that even kings from 100 years ago didn’t have access to.
## 4. We are dying of thirst
Yet, we kind of live in a hell.
A hell of materialism, consumerism, and dissatisfaction. Wanting more.
It is like Sisyphus— forced by Zeus to roll the heavy stone uphill for the rest of eternity — only to have the stone roll back on us.
Or we are dying of thirst, yet whenever we try to drink the water, it recedes from us. We are hungry, yet whenever we try to take a bite of the fruit— the apple tree draws away from us.
We try to fill our bank accounts with more dollars, more zeroes, and more commas. Yet, it is never enough. It is like trying to fill our jugs with milk, yet our jug has holes in it.
## 5. Why don’t we believe in ourselves?
We are trying to find wisdom in a bottle of Vodka. We are trying to find love through a digital screen. We are trying to find meaning in life through the end of a blunt.
We have great dreams, great passions, and ideas in life. Yet, we are scared. We are beaten down to submission by our parents, our teachers, our bosses, and the entire society. Nobody believes in us.
We want to start our own companies, yet everyone tells us why it will fail.
We want to do something ridiculous and awesome, yet everyone tells us that we aren’t being practical.
We are afraid of being judged, of failing, and of disappointing others— and of ourselves.
## 6. Take the first step
But I say, disregard all of that. No more negativity. No more living in the past. No more excuses.
Let us just do it.
Just fucking do it.
Whatever we want that doesn’t hurt anybody else— let us do something virtuous, wholesome, and helpful to others.
Let us pour our hearts and souls into the words that we write. Let us capture emotions, souls, and beautiful fleeting moments in our viewfinders. Let us dance with our bodies, like we were writing cursive with a pen.
Let us disregard what the rest of the world thinks of us. Let us dance, love, and be merry.
Let us seek to be more creative, more artistic, and child-like everyday.
Let us take a forward step to fulfilling our dreams.
## 7. How to make your dreams come true
Do we want to be a full-time photographer? Let us text a friend who is getting married, and offer to shoot their wedding for free. To make our portfolio. Make your own website via bluehost.com and use wordpress.org. Pay for the ‘genesis’ theme, and announce that you are accepting new clients.
If you want to be a novelist, write your chapter, and publish it to your blog or social media page. Build up a following, that will become hungry for the next chapter.
If you want to become a full-time ‘YouTuber’ — just make a YouTube page, and start recording on your smartphone or your webcam, and start uploading videos. Just publish one video a day, for a year. See where it takes you.
Your dream to be a full-time blogger? Start blogging. Everyday. Several times a day. A lot of bloggers fail trying to blog everyday. I say fuck that, take it to the next level. Try to publish 3 blog posts a day. They don’t need to be great. But just get in the practice of publishing, and not having feared of being negatively judged. And turn off your statistics, your success cannot be measured in page views.
## 8. If you care, share
Keep sharing your beautiful ideas. With others. Don’t be afraid of being judged. It is better to be judged than to be ignored (Seth Godin).
If you were camping, and you had a flashlight, and your friend was wandering around in darkness, wouldn’t you share your light with your friend?
That flashlight is your gift. Your passion. The reason you were put on earth.
Don’t delay. Share your light today.
Be strong,
Eric
