**Presiona (L) en tu teclado para ver con fondo negro. Luce mucho mejor así.
Mar adentro,
mar adentro.
Y en la ingravidez del fondo
donde se cumplen los sueños
se juntan dos voluntades
para cumplir un deseo.
Un beso enciende la vida
con un relámpago y un trueno
y en una metamorfosis
mi cuerpo no es ya mi cuerpo,
es como penetrar al centro del universo.
El abrazo más pueril
y el más puro de los besos
hasta vernos reducidos
en un único deseo.
Tu mirada y mi mirada
como un eco repitiendo, sin palabras
'más adentro', 'más adentro'
hasta el más allá del todo
por la sangre y por los huesos.
Pero me despierto siempre
y siempre quiero estar muerto,
para seguir con mi boca
enredada en tus cabellos.
.- Ramón Sampedro

___________________________________________________________________________
The Sea Inside
Inside the sea,
Inside the sea.
And in the weightlessness of the bottom
where dreams come true,
two souls meet to fulfill a single wish.
A kiss lights up life
with a lightning and a thunder,
and in a metamorphosis,
my body is no longer my body.
It is like entering the center of the universe.
The most childish embrace
and the purest of kisses
until we are reduced
by a single desire.
Your gaze and mine,
silently repeating like an echo,
'Deeper', 'Deeper'
beyond all blood and bones.
But I always awake,
and I always want to be dead
to keep my lips forever
entangled in your hair.
.- Ramón Sampedro
I'm not sure if I really like this photo, but I'm posting it anyway as a reminder to myself, and maybe a cautionary tale for others. Today's challenge was "BLACK, WHITE AND GRAINY" so I thought it would be a good chance to use the Film Grain setting in my camera. The setting worked great, but each shot needed, in my opinion, a bit of tweaking. Well, come to find out that using the built-in settings/filter in the camera prevents one from doing any kind of post processing.
The only way I could live with this one was to crop out alot of shadows that were on the right side of the photo instead of lightening them as I normally would, resulting in a rather cycloptic effect. Apart from the cropping and border/signature, this one is SOOC.
Overall, a great big "meh" on this one, but I did learn something about my 2 year old camera so there's the silver lining, and one of the many pluses of Our Daily Challenge group!

I have passed by these classic red stools outside "D's Diner" for over two years now, always meaning to stop. Well, I finally did. This is one of those great old diners that just screams the 50's. Can't you just picture the girls in their pink poodle skirts and angora sweaters, perched on these stools, sipping malteds?
THIS is Americana at it's finest.
Long live the diner.

Pigs do fly!!!
We have just had a massive storm that lasted well over an hour and it was amazing with almost constant sheet and fork lightning.
Knew I wasn't going to get decent photos with a point and shoot but thought I would give it a try.
Have no idea how these images have been formed but I have managed to capture quite a few in different forms.
Well they were taken on Halloween!!!
Oinked their way into Explore #262 30th October. Which is interesting as I took this after midnight on Halloween but because of the time difference it actually appeared in Explore the day before I actually took this!!!!
Here is the Explore Scientific ED140 CF Triplet APO Refractor.
So far, I have been able to capture a handful of impressive deep sky astrophotography images through this telescope, including the Hercules Cluster and the Trifid Nebula.
For more information about this carbon fiber refractor, feel free to check my blog and video on the subject: astrobackyard.com/explore-scientific-ed140/

Peeled Early
"Men should be explorers, no matter how old they are."
- a line from Don Ameche's character, Art Selwyn, from the 1985 movie, Cocoon.
This image, once I peeked (which resulted in me peeling it early anyway because I liked what I saw) at it, made me immediately think of the movie Cocoon. Why, I don't know, because that movie scared me for some reason as a child. I've seen it since then and its not so scary now but back then, something about it just freaked me out.

Just got back from six day stay at Disney. From all the new (New Fantasyland, Test Track and Legend of Captain Jack) to all the Christmas Festivities (decorations and crowds), I need another vacation to recover.
Here’s Lumiere…part of the sign for "Enchanted Tales with Belle."
