Rodalies a Lleida!!! Aquest servei R4 amb destinació Terrassa fa la seva aturada a l'estació de Sabadell Nord amb 13 minuts de retard, tenint un problema al display que l'envia cap a la llunyana estació de Lleida Pirineus (si espera passar per Calaf ho porta clar...). Més tard, el R4 que havia d'arribar a Manresa a les 20:25 ho ha fet amb 20 minuts de retard. Un guarda de seguretat m'ha comentat que la causa dels retards és l'embut que es forma a la sortida de l'Hospitalet de Llobregat.

Dolina litoral formada por coalescencia de dolinas en embudo y chimeneas kársticas. Karst exhumado de la Formación Lagos- Portimão (calcarenitas miocenas). La erosión litoral del frente de acantilado cercano ha conectado el mar con la dolina por medio de un arco marino a través del cual penetra el agua, por lo que se deja sentir la influencia mareal y la acción del oleaje.

Tidewater sinkhole, Praia da Dédé o Secreta, São Rafael (Portugal)
Ancient supratidal sinkhole (coalescence of solution pipes and funnel-shaped sinkholes) that has been reached by the sea, due to marine erosion. The sinkhole is connected to the sea by a sea arch, so the water penetrates with tides and waves. Exhumated karst, Upper Miocene, Lagos-Portimão Fm, Algarve coast, southern Portugal.
EMBUDO, N.M., - As part of 2014’s Earth Day events, the U.S. Geological Survey held a celebration for the 125th anniversary of the Embudo streamgage. This was the first USGS streamgage in the United States and it was established here in 1889. During the event, Mark Yuska, the District’s Operations Division chief, spoke about the importance of the USGS-Albuquerque District, Corps of Engineers partnership of more than 75 years. (l-r): Scott Verhines, New Mexico State Engineer; Patricia Dominguez, Office of Sen. Martin Heinrich; Leticia Delgado, Office of Sen. Tom Udall; Patrick Duran, Office of Rep. Ben Ray Lujan; Linda Weiss, director, USGS New Mexico Water Science Center; Mike Hamman, Area Manager, Upper Colorado Basin, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation; Suzette Kimball, Acting Director of the USGS; Shawn Bennett, National Weather Service. The establishment of the gage at Embudo marked the beginning of systematic streamgaging in the United States. The information from river and stream gages is a matter of public safety, environmental protection and wise economic development. The data is used to forecast floods, manage and allocate water resources and design engineering structures such as dams, irrigation structures and bridges.

The Rio Grande was sparkling in the morning sunlight and caught Heather's attention early today. It isn't usually obvious out there...
I came across a few older filling station images recently, and decided to update and move 'em up front --
Hacía tiempo que venía recolectando cosas para la foto en rojo, pero he esperado a que me llegase la gorra de Raikkonen para hacerla.
Espero que os guste.

The creation date isn't the date I shot the footage, but when I compiled it. I need to dig out from my archives to figure out when this was really shot.
Another lighting variation while trying for a different look. I was looking for backlighting to make the flower look translucent, and put an SB600 in a snoot behind and underneath the flowers, and another SB600 in a softbox front left to provide some fill light. Both strobes triggered by the pop up flash on my D90 in commander mode. Strobes were in manual mode and I adjusted output until I got a look that I liked. This stuff is fun to play with and has a great effect on how the subjects look.
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...
More pictures from the Calla Lily series can be seen, logically enough, in my Calla Lily set.

This is a Cala lilly that I bought and exploited last year. It survived outside for the last 8 months, so I've decided to exploit it again.
Strobist info: For this image I wanted strong, hard edged shadows, and to accomplish that I used a bare YN560-II in a Honl snoot to provide that strong side lighting from camera right at about 2 o'clock. The strobe was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603 radio trigger in manual mode.
I also uploaded a black and white version of this image which can be seen in the comments below.

More exploitation of a plant I bought several months ago. I've enjoyed lighting these complex shapes, and trying to vary the lighting so that all the photos don't look the same.

Strobist info: This was lit with an SB600 in a Honl snoot beneath the flower, and pointing up, to provide the glow in the center, and an SB700 in a softbox camera left to provide a little fill light. The strobes were triggered by the pop up flash of my D90 in commander mode. Power output was set to manual and adjusted until I got the look I wanted.
Galopa o muere.
Los encierros de Cuéllar son una fiesta popular española declarada de Interés Turístico Nacional que se celebra el último fin de semana de agosto en la ciudad segoviana de Cuéllar (Castilla y León), y están considerados los encierros más antiguos de España, pues hasta el momento ninguna ciudad ha presentado un documento anterior al que dispone Cuéllar, fechado a principios del siglo XIII.
Primeramente los toros se sueltan en los corrales junto al rio y van acompañados por caballistas durante unos 5 kilometros cruzando pinares y cultivos de cereal. Posteriormente se les imprime velocidad en la bajada al embudo para que al entrar en las calles de Cuéllar sea un encierro rapido y limpio. Acaba en la plaza de toros.

The bulls racers are Cuéllar Spanish festival declared of National Tourist Interest held the last weekend of August in the town of Cuéllar Segovia (Castilla y León), and are considered the oldest bulls racers in Spain, as far no city has submitted a document prior to its disposal Cuellar, dated to the early thirteenth century.
First, the bulls are released into the pens along the river and are accompanied by horsemen for about 5 km across pine and cereal crops. Then the horsemen run fast with to the bulls to get speed at which the funnel into the streets of Cuéllar . The race must be fast and clean. It finished in the bullring.
