In a garage to this building, svereal bottles of liquefied gas leaked and caused an explosion. Bottom floors is used as offices and the two floors above is apartments.
No one worked this day, four people got minor injuries but nothing serious.
The office got the worst blast, so it is very good it was weekend and no one at work. Could have been much worse.
.....dramatic shades as the sun rises in the east, wind gusting pushing clouds through the sky, I'm amazed how one side of me remains calm while the other is so dramatic.....

Here a piece with lots of color and a little runny nose jajaj galaxy an explosion of a new experiment I liked the result and had wanted to improvise something and the result was this a very quiet afternoon and sunny.
Just thought I would play with some colours on Photoshop of the Water Explosion image...This is the end result! Aiming for a fire feel...
Explosion de couleur, j'ai libéré 3 magnifiques monarques qui ont émergés à quelques minutes d'intervalle. Wow quel bel
opportunité de pouvoir les observer d'aussi prêt. Ils prendront leur envol et j'espère qu'ils réussiront leur spectaculaire migration vers le Mexique. Monarch Butterflies, Danaus plexippus.
Forse questa foto non richiedeva grandi capacità fotografiche, ma mi sono divertito nel rielaborarla in HDR. Quando ho salvato il file, ho pensato che un fotografo di 20 anni fa, vedendo questo scatto, avrebbe gridato al miracolo, ma oggi nel XXI secolo questo lavoro si confonde nella miriade di bit che affollano la rete. L’ho chiamato Explosion, perché sia nei colori, che nella luce e nella disposizione delle nuvole mi ricordava un’esplosione.

I love these trees and their bright, fluffy blooms exploding with color. This particular tree was seen at the Cecil B Day Butterfly Center at Callaway Gardens during a recent trip. Nov 2013
Sunset or nuclear explosion?
Fortunately we live in a peaceful country!

The Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, or Iron Mosque (Malay: Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin or Masjid Besi) is the second principal mosque in Putrajaya, Malaysia after Putra Mosque. It is located in Putrajaya's Precinct 3, opposite the Palace of Justice. Construction began since April 2004 and was fully completed on August 2009. It was officially opened by the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on June 11, 2010.
The mosque was built to cater to approximately 24,000 residents including the government servants working around the city center as well as areas within Precincts 2, 3, 4 and 18. Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque's area is twice that of Putra Mosque, which is located 2.2 kilometers north.
The "Iron Mosque" features a district cooling system, and without assembly of fans or an air conditioning system. The mosque employs "Architectural Wire Mesh" imported from Germany and China, which is also constructed at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, as well as the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. The main entrance is reinforced with Glass Reinforced Concrete to increase the integrity of the structure and uses fine glass to create an illusion of a white mosque from afar.
The path towards the mosque crosses a skyway known as the Kiblat Walk which stretches an area of 13,639 m². This skyway contains landscaping adapted from the ancient castles of Alhambra. The interior is decorated with Al-Asmaul-Husna calligraphy of the Thuluth variation. The entrance to the main prayer hall is adorned with verse 80 of Sura Al-Isra from the Qur'an.
There is also a Mihrab wall made of 13 meter-high glass panel imported from Germany inscribed with 2 verses from Sura Al-Baqarah on the right-hand side and Sura Ibrahim on the left. The mihrab wall is designed so that no light will be reflected, creating an illusion that the verses are floating on air. The 40-feet long edges of the mosque's roof are able to shelter the people praying outside of the main prayer hall from rain

In this shot I'm introducing colour by passing the light beam through coloured optical filters; otherwise it would be black and white like #6.
Expansion. Looking for the growth, for the limits. Maybe, ... to leave them behind?
It is our soul, in the wish to overcome our limitations.
Expansión. Buscando un crecimiento, buscando los límites. Quizá, ... ¿para dejarlos atrás?
Es nuestra alma, en el deseo de superar nuestras limitaciones.
Vibrant layered clusters of Blue Bells, Phacelia minor, engulf this hillside behind my home during the spring wildflower bloom, towering above the millions of California Poppies, and surrounding this velvety pale green Brittlebush. It’s not every day that I get to do landscape photography without leaving home! This image sort of breaks one of the cardinal rules of large format, which is that everything in frame “must be” 100% in focus - or else face judgement [presumably?]. Because I was standing right over these flowers and photographing using a 180mm lens, it was essentially impossible to achieve full depth of field, even with movements and stopping down. Part of this was due to the fact that the flowers never stop moving, so I couldn’t stop down all the way and use a longer exposure. So instead of following the rules, I decided to focus on the beautiful leaves of the velvety green Brittlebush and the purple blossoms surrounding it, with the orange glow of the California Poppies forming nice accent splashes in the background. I am reminded by the almost whimsical work of Eliot Porter, one of the great pioneers of large format color landscape and nature photography, that capturing your personal appreciation for the finer details and little “characters” in nature – like the flowers, the trees, the birds, the ponds, the lilies – is more what nature photography is about than following some arbitrary set of rules. Many of his images have trees and plants that are out of focus in the frame, yet his unconventional images evoke the very feeling of being there with him, and make you feel a genuine emotional connection with these wild places. That being said, I did try to re-shoot this scene a few days later, but again couldn’t quite pull it off the way I wanted. I’ll keep trying to get better at this business of close-up scenes with large format, but in the meantime, I really love how this one came out and it for me captures just a slice of what I felt while being there, so I thought I’d share the journey with you!

Some of these photographs appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers; they are not. All of these photos are micro (macro) photographs of the super-tiny blooms that blossom on common weeds.
Weed flowers...wild flowers...whichever appellation you want to bestow on them nonetheless these almost microscopic beauties are the flowers that bloom on the weeds in my yard.
Most of these flowers when measured petal tip to petal tip at their widest diameters measure 1/4" (6mm) across…or less...the entire bloom is that small. But the smallest weed flower I've shot yet is a small ring of flowers that measured less than 1/32" (.7mm) in diameter which encircled a spire which measured about 1/64" (0.3mm) in diameter.
For some photos I’ve included references to common objects such as the head of a paper match. On some others I’ve listed a description of the actual size of each object in the photo.
So far I've made over 600 photographs of over 48 varieties of weed flowers; this set represents the best of the best.

Here's another shot of the Northern Lights up in Alaska. I liked this shot since it looks like a cosmic explosion. Believe it or not, it was snowing on me when I took this picture. I still can't explain how snow can fall when the sky is clear??
In the Moscow region near Volokolamsk, near 114 km of the Volokolamsk highway, there is a village called Strokovo. On November 18, 1941, 11 sappers under the command of second Lieutenant P.I.Firstov and the political officer A.M.Pavlov held their line of defense here, repelling the attacks of 20 advancing tanks and an infantry battalion. 7 tanks and many fascists were destroyed. The battle lasted for several hours. The entire platoon was killed, but the time gained allowed the rest of the regiment's forces to gain a foothold on the new defensive line. The platoon commander, Second Lieutenant Firstov, was 25 years old.
The Wehrmacht command tried to take Moscow in a pincer movement, in order to close the encirclement. In the most important, western sector, four German divisions fought against one 316th Infantry Division of Major General Ivan Vasilyevich Panfilov - the 35th Infantry Division, the 2nd, 5th and 11th tank divisions, which were sent to break through the front. The forces were unequal, Panfilov's division was retreating, but the Germans fought their way forward with great difficulty.
After the heavy October fighting, in mid-November, the Nazis resumed their offensive, which was stopped at the 42nd kilometer of the Volokolamsk highway, with the help of reinforcements, and from here, in early December 1941, the Red Army launched its counteroffensive. The commander of one of the German tank divisions, Erich Hoepner, justified his defeat by saying that the Soviet soldiers who opposed his detachments fought "in violation of all regulations and rules of engagement," did not surrender and were not afraid of death.
The sappers who died near Strokovo were buried in a mass grave on the outskirts of the village. They were all posthumously awarded the Order of Lenin. "This is the only time in the Great Patriotic War when an entire sapper platoon was awarded such high government awards."..
On October 31, 1981, to mark the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow, an Explosion monument was erected at the site of their feat. The author of the project is architect A.A. Veselovsky. The composition is unusual and attracts attention, as it reproduces the moment of the battle – a German self-propelled artillery installation is blown up on a mine near the trench, the explosion flashes upward, transmitted by volumetric beams of sparkling stainless steel. The Shtug III self-propelled gun is genuine.
My neighbour has these flowers growing in his garden. I don't know what they are called, maybe someone may be able to ID them for me.

274/365 There were better explosion ones, but of course these were accompanied with hideous facial expressions by myself :)
It's weird, you don't realise you're doing it until you see the photo after haha.
Hmm. I'm going on holiday the day after tomorrow, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to upload...
