Overlapping frames/double exposures
during my second shoot with Alexis, I happened to lie on the ground to get a different angle, and realized the puddle in front of her was throwing a reflection! Managed to snap this frame when the wind stopped blowing, giving a perfect mirror effect. I'm very thankful it rained the day before :D

Montreal's iconic Olympic Stadium….designed by French architect Roger Taillibert and built for the 1976 Olympics, has had a troubled history…. construction was not completed before the games… it was finally completed in 1987… you can ride to the top of the tower on a funicular…. another feature is the retractable roof, which always struck me as useful, but this design as unnecessarily frivolous.

My framing was a bit iffy, but this is a nice result for an object I've never attempted before. Taken with the Dwarf3 using its Duoband filter, this is 200×30 second exposures at Gain 60.
The California Nebula is a faint, emission nebula located approximately 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Perseus. It is named for its shape, which resembles the state of California, and is a star-forming region energized by the hot, massive star Xi Persei. The nebula glows primarily red, a color produced by energized hydrogen gas.

Aquí van algunas texturas, no todo van a ser nocturnas y macros de plantas y bichos, también estoy intentando hacer otro de mis motivos preferidos, las texturas.
Este sujeto que me llama mucho la atención desde que lo descubrí gracias a José Benito, las espinas de esta planta procedente de México, la pitera (Agave americana), me hubiera gustado probar con una luz más suave, pero en este caso las hice con luz dura, que me proporciona unas sombras que en mi opinión aportaron más que entorpecierón.
"The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit is the main church of the Hradec Králové Diocese and therefore also the seat of its bishop. The Gothic brick pseudo-basilica with two towers in the southwest corner of the Great Square has formed the characteristic panorama of Hradec Králové for more than seven centuries. The external dimensions of the cathedral are: length 56 m, width 25 m, height of the towers 48 m. The length of the interior is 50 m. The width of the walls ranges from 1.12 m (naves) to 2.12 m (towers).
It is sometimes said that the church was founded in 1307 by the widow of the Czech king Wenceslas II queen Eliška Rejček, however, according to more recent research, a parish church stood here already in the second half of the 13th century, which burned down in 1339. The current presbytery was built in 1339–1342, and the construction of the nave was completed in the 1460s under Queen Elizabeth of Pomerania. Jan Žižka from Trocnov is said to have been buried here in 1424. During the repairs after the Hussite Wars, which ended in 1463, an extensive crucifix was built. A fire in 1484 mainly damaged the towers, which were then raised by one floor and given new bells. The oldest of the four bells, Leopold (Dominik) is from 1485. The largest of the bells is Michael (Eagle) from 1496, which weighs 3847 kg. The pastoforium on the left side of the presbytery also dates from 1497. The church was repaired several times, looted and burned by Swedish soldiers in 1639. In 1664, with the founding of the bishopric, the church became a cathedral and was then modified in the Baroque style, further modifications followed at the end of the 18th century. In the years 1864–1876, the church was radically renovated by František Schmoranz and the towers in 1901 by L. Lábler. In the years 1980–1990, the church received a copper roof, and in 1997 for the jubilee of St. Vojtěch was visited by Pope John Paul II.
Hradec Králové (Königgrätz in German) is a statutory city in eastern Bohemia, located at the confluence of the Elbe and Orlica. It has approximately 94 thousand inhabitants and is the capital of the Hradec Králové region. Together with nearby Pardubice, it forms a metropolitan area with 340,000 inhabitants.
Due to its favorable characteristics, the territory of Hradec was already inhabited in prehistoric times. In the Middle Ages, it was the dowry city of Czech queens, and it is to this period that the Gothic cathedral of St. Ducha on its Great Square, which today, alongside the White Tower and the Old Town Hall, is one of the city's landmarks. In the years 1766 to 1857, the city served as a military fortress, due to the lack of interest of the city, it was restored and abolished only in 1884. The city administration made full use of the possibility of complete management of urban development. This literally freed up space for the golden era of Hradec Králové architecture at the beginning of the 20th century, from which, thanks to the buildings of Gočár and Kotěra, the city earned the title Salon of the Republic.
When looking at this landmark of Hradec Králové, observers will be particularly impressed by the contrast between the red brickwork and the white sandstone of the portals, windows and cornices of the temple. At the time of construction, sandstone was commonly used as the main building material in East Bohemian cities, which was absent in the vicinity of Hradec Králové. The builders of the cathedral therefore chose less common bricks as the main building material. The three-nave basilica church has a raised nave and a long east choir, through which the cathedral faces the square. In the axis of the choir, there is a cross in front of the church and two symmetrical towers on the sides. The baroque chapter sacristy adjoins the north side of the cathedral, the dean's sacristy and the Royal vestibule on the south side. Several Renaissance tombstones can be found on the outer walls of the church. Massive supporting pillars divided into three parts are prescribed for the exterior.
Hradec Králové is a university town, the University of Hradec Králové, some faculties of Charles University and the University of Defense teach here. For example, the regional court or the bishops of the Royal Hradec Catholic and Czechoslovak Hussite dioceses are based here. Klicper's theater is a recognized scene that has won the award "Theatre of the Year" four times, artkino Central is proud of the award "Best European cinema for young audiences" from 2008. Hradec Králové Park 360, which was created in part of the area of the former military airport, provides space, among other things, for the summer of the Rock for People festival.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.

La Farmacia La Estrella forma parte de la historia nacional. Fue el Dr. Bernardino Rivadavia el creador de esta primera botica de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, cuando en 1834 encargó a un importante bioquímico y botánico la dirección de la misma. Con el tiempo, y ya bajo otro dominio, se sumó la droguería a la farmacia, llegando a convertirse en la más importante de Sudamérica. Fue en 1885 cuando la farmacia La Estrella inauguró este edificio con una decoración que impactaba por su valor artístico y detalles de gran nivel: cristales de murano, estanterías de nogal, mármol de carrara, y los frescos en los cielorrasos del artesano Barberis que se destacan por los simbolismos que aluden a “la salud”, “la enfermedad” y “la farmacopea”. Su fachada ostentan una herrería original en sus puertas y una cargada ornamentación, en la que tres angelitos parecen dejarse caer hacia la nada. La Estrella tuvo su fama bien ganada gracias a la oferta de prestigiosos productos originales, que aún son recordados con nostalgia: la limonada Roge, el tónico esperidina, y las píldoras para la tos Parodi, entre tantos otros. Además de su actividad comercial, en sus salones se realizaron importantes tertulias por donde pasaron las figuras más destacadas del ámbito político como Carlos Pelligrini, Julio A. Roca, y Bartolomé Mitre, entre otros. Es el comercio más antiguo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, que aún conserva su estilo y sus detalles originales de gran valor estético, gracias a lo cual ha merecido numerosos premios y reconocimientos. Hoy sigue prestando servicios de laboratorio Homeopático y Alopático de recetas magistrales, y ofrece importantes productos de herbonistería y perfumería.

O lago do Silvério é formado de água corrente, essa vazante é pra escoamento do excesso de suas águas, fica por baixo de uma avenida e passa tbém por debaixo dessa pequena ponte de uma rua próxima pra cair num pequeno córrego que chama Córrego dos Pires. Bonito ver a Cachoeira formada por degrais.
Questo succedersi, mi sembra ormai chiaro, non lo afferriamo con la ripetizione di gambe, di braccia, di figure, come molti hanno stupidamente supposto, ma vi giungiamo attraverso la ricerca intuitiva della forma unica che dia la continuità nello spazio.

The Pindus Mountains form the principal range and backbone of mainland Greece, trending north-northwest–south-southeast from Albania to central Greece north of the Peloponnese. The highest point of the range is 8,651 feet (2,637 metres) in the Smólikas massif, near the Albanian border. Forested with oak, fir, beech, and pine, the Pindus creates a barrier for the westerly weather fronts, which puts the Thessalian plain to the east in a rain shadow. The mountains, snowcapped in winter, receive heavy rainfall that feeds such rivers as the Achelous and Mégdhova on the western slopes and the Pineiós and Aliákmon on the eastern.
The Plastiras Lake can be seen in the background.
This photograph was taken during a short visit to the region, with my English wife Theresa Jane Brown, on 17th & 18th, April, 2012.
Greetings from Greece off the beaten path!

Église Notre-Dame-des-Neiges de L'Alpe d'Huez. Une petite chapelle, construite en 1940, plantée au centre de l'Alpe d'Huez, était consacrée au culte marial. Trop petite pour accueillir les nombreux touristes des Jeux olympiques de 1968, le curé Jaap Reuten, Hollandais, imagine le projet d'une nouvelle église et demande en 1960 à Jean Le Boucher et à l'architecte Jean Marol (1930-2010) de faire construire une église en forme de tente (représentant celle du patriarche Abraham). De magnifiques vitraux entourent la nef, de forme ovale, représentant la vie de Jésus-Christ d'après l'évangile de saint Marc, réalisés par l'artiste Arcabas.
The Florida Keys are a coral cay archipelago off the southern coast of Florida, forming the southernmost part of the continental United States. They begin at the southeastern coast of the Florida peninsula, about 15 miles (24 km) south of Miami and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the northwest, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. The southern part of Key West is 93 miles (150 km) from Cuba. The Keys are located between about 24.3 and 25.5 degrees North latitude.
More than 95% of the land area lies in Monroe County, but a small portion extends northeast into Miami-Dade County, such as Totten Key. The total land area is 137.3 square miles (356 km2). At the 2010 census the population was 73,090, with an average density of 532.34 per square mile (205.54/km2), although much of the population is concentrated in a few areas of much higher density, such as the city of Key West, which has 32% of the Keys' total population. The 2014 Census population estimate was 77,136. The 2020 Census population estimate was 82,874.
The city of Key West is the county seat of Monroe County. The county consists of a section on the mainland which is almost entirely in Everglades National Park, and the Keys islands from Key Largo to Dry Tortugas National Park.

Higashi (a form of wagashi, which doesn't really translate but refers to candy or baged goodies) are made of glutinous rice flour, sugar and starch mixture or wasambonto. They are pressed in molds to form dry sweets, often with seasonal motifs. These cherry blossoms and fresh bamboo shoots indicate spring. I bought this set from Kyoto and there was different box for every of the four seasons. Wagashi is usually enjoyed with tea and they play a part in tea ceremony.
Thanks to Timtak for following information:
The maker is 京菓心 which I guess is pronounced as Kyoukashin (Kyouto' Kyou, お菓子Sweets's ka, 心 Heart shin).
The Japanese confectionary inside is called 里 Sato or village / hamlet (the normal word for villiage is mura but this has a more oldy worldy feel)

Hume pipe-workers garden -Living Museum of the West- Maribyrnong. Wonderful mosaics form paths and/or ornament the garden..Hopefully soon to be restored..
Melbourne's Living Museum of the West Inc. is a community museum, with an ecomuseum focus, operating in the western region of Melbourne in the state of Victoria, Australia..
.
The Living Museum, as it is more commonly known, was set up in 1984 to address what was then seen as a disadvantaged region, geographically flat and rocky, heavily industrialised with a high migrant population..
.
The ecomuseum concept regards the area researched by a museum as part of the museum itself. The western region covers a large geographical area (see map) west of Melbourne which includes industrial suburbs merging into rural areas. Geologically it sits on an extensive basalt plain with low rainfall. Its population is approximately 500,000 people from approximately 70 different countries. More than 30 % of the population were born in another country..
.
The mix has created a unique cultural context that might even seem surreal to those who live in a more homogenous culture. It has in fact given rise to a cultural dynamic that challenges more conventional forms of interpretation..
.
The Living Museum is best known for its outreach programs and close involvement with the community it serves. Community participation can take the form of involvement as a volunteer, as a participant in the Museum's research and oral history programs or through more informal contact. For example, many local historical researchers regularly come to share information or talk avout their own research. By depositing copies of their research and publications in the Living Museum's Resource Centre they provide help for other people doing connected research. The Living Museum's Committee of Management is made up of community and museum industry representatives. .
.
The Living Museum was set up with an experimental brief to use innovative techniques in involving the local community in researching, documenting and presenting the heritage and history of a previously overlooked patchwork of sub-cultures..
.
The first projects looked at the history of work, the contribution of women in the region's history and the role of migrants in the culture and heritage of the local region. These first projects focussed on oral history in a bid to involve the local community in the research and presentation of their own history..
.
The Museum has since explored the built heritage of the region, the environment, the Aboriginal Heritage and experimented with the involvement of artists in the presentation of culture and heritage. A book titled 'Your History Mate', describes the first decade of the Living Museum's program and outcomes..
.
The Living Museum receives a grant from Arts Victoria for core funding and receives grants for other projects. It has also been earning about 30% of its income from a range of consultancies. It is an incorporated body with a Management Committee drawn from the local community..
.
Historical Societies.
.
Historical Societies are among the most valuable organisations in our society. It is mainly through historical societies that the community memory is maintained. Without historical societies most communities would lose track of their own history..
.
These societies are usually made up of a handful of active members who spend days, weeks and years collecting, protecting and preserving local history. Without local history there would be no sense of national history. There is an inescapabe link with local history and all other levels and interpretations of a national history. .

Brayford Pool in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Brayford Pool is a natural lake formed from a widening of the River Witham in the centre of the city of Lincoln. It was used as a port by the Romans who connected it to the River Trent by constructing the Foss Dyke Canal and the area has a long industrial heritage.
The Pool has been the focus of Lincoln's urban regeneration since the early 1990s. It is now overlooked by bars, restaurants, a cinema and, most significantly, the University of Lincoln. The only reminder of the past is the Royal William public house, a traditional pub housed inside a listed building. The Pool is used as a marina by houseboats and pleasure craft, as well as by anglers and kayakers.
It has long been a favourite place for mute swans. Mute swans are one of the UK's largest birds and they can grow up to about 1.5m high. Although the mute swans are usually silent, they do make a loud hissing noise when they are angry and young swans make a high-pitched whistling noise.
They breed upstream on the River Witham, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but are attracted down to the Brayford Pool area by food provided by passers-by. The number of swans usually peaks in the autumn and can be anything up to 130 birds. In recent years the swans have moved out of the city along the River Witham.
Mallard ducks, Coots and Moor Hens can be found in the area as well as the less commonly known Muscovy ducks, native to Central and South America but brought to Europe by explorers in the 16th Century. The strange looking ducks have been immortalized to a degree with a ground floor suite named after them in the University’s Main Admin Building.
Other birds seen around the Brayford include the pied wagtail, kingfishers, mallards, moorhens, coots, and herons. There are at least five different types of dragonfly, whilst the fish in the Brayford include roach, common bream, tench and pike.
Plants that can be found along River Witham include common species such as reed sweet grass, branched bur-reed and red mace, the much rarer arrowhead and flowering rush along with great water dock, skull cap and wild celery. A common tree along the riverbank is the Alder.
