ed in mezzo ....
ci siamo noi..O_O!
ovvero il purgatorio .siamo in costante bilico... tra gioia e dolore ...
tra scienza e fede...
il buio e la luce...
la speranza e la disperazione ...
tra la vita e la morte...
e così via...
quando superiamo un'ostacolo ,ci sentiamo più forti , ma tutto è illusorio , non ci arrendiamo se siamo abituati a combattere ,ma la resa alle volte è necessaria , affinché ci sia il tempo di riprendere le forze ....
e quando neppure quelle verranno più in nostro aiuto , inutile sarà dannarsi , la natura deciderà per noi ...
come è sempre stato .
Ever wonder just how hot hell's kitchen really is? Me neither....but I bet it would resemble something like this...In this shot Crazy Horsehead Man is born....
This is straight from the camera with no editing at all. The logo on his shirt is a light stencil popped at angle to match his pose. Converted from Canon's sRAW with no editing. I was shooting for a stop motion film in the afternoon and had it set to 'sRAW' and forgot to reset the quality before I went shooting at night...oooops.
Hells Gates is the name of the mouth of Macquarie Harbour on the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia.
It is a notoriously shallow and dangerous channel entrance to the harbour. The actual channel is between Macquarie Heads on the west and Entrance Island on the east (the main length of the harbour runs southeast of Hells Gates). There is a wider area of water between Entrance Island and the eastern shore, but it is too shallow to get a boat over.
Braddon Point is the name of the feature on the eastern shore, while the shallow water south of the point is named Fraser Flats, and the channel adjacent to the breakwater is known as Kelly Channel.
The name of the channel relates to the original convicts' claim that it was their point of "entrance to Hell", their Hell being the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station on Sarah Island and the outlying surrounds of the harbour.
Breakwater and channel
Between 1900 and 1902 the Macquarie Harbour Entrance Works involved the building of a breakwater and the channel was dredged. Parts of the breakwater can still be seen despite the passage of time. The Strahan Marine Board was involved with the monitoring of the mouth until 19 May 1970, when the Hobart Marine Board took over.
Both Entrance and Bonnet Islands have lights, and they were built before the Cape Sorell Lighthouse.
Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
Basically couldn't stop here because of all the semi trucks, and no pullover -- daring drive by shooting on my part! Reminds me of Anson Mount in the Hell on Wheels western series--- I could get lost in his captivating eyes.

This bizarre place is called Hell's Half Acre. It's right in the middle of Wyoming. Right next to, ummmmm... Right next to absolutely nothing in the middle of absolutely nowhere. I have been to several badlands sort of rock formations, and this one is probably the best I've ever seen. I don't know why it's called Hell's Half Acre. It's over 300 acres. Very interesting place. Kind of a miniature Bryce Canyon.
Tonight in my town of Saint Charles, a strong storm hit. Read more on my blog.

I made the jack O' lantern first. For the first time ever. I'm dutch so we don't celebrate it. But I immidiatly came with the idea to put it behind the dripping droplets. This was really difficult because I had no room for a tripod and had to hold both the camera and the flashlight. With the flashlight pointed into the pumpkin because I needed lot's of light. The droplets work as reversed fisheye lenses and turn it around. So this picture is upside down and every droplet has a different refraction.
'Cause we're hot like hell
Does it burn when I'm not there?
When you're by yourself
Am I the answer to your prayers
I'm giving you the pleasure of heaven
And I'll give it to you
Hotter than hell
Hotter than hell
I explored this canyon a little recently and look forward to visiting it again next spring to see what reptiles I might be able to turn up here.
Antelope Canyon is a photographer's heaven, and a photographer's hell.
This slot canyon in northern Arizona is breath taking. The mid-day light streams down into the narrow canyon creating magnificent beams that move across the walls and floor as the day progresses. This is a must see for anyone interested in photography, and general natural beauty.
HOWEVER, this place is the worst. The Navajo nation is doing a horrible job of limiting the number of people allowed to enter this 1/4 mile long canyon. During the last 30 minutes of my tour, there must have been over 100 people in the canyon. And trying to take photos without people walking through your multiple long exposures for HDR is difficult and frustrating. Photo tours are offered, and the guides try to keep people out of other people's shots, but it doesn't always work out. Additionally, the place is extremely dusty, it is what creates the beams anyways... I heard some stories of people ruining expensive gear from the fine grained sand and dust floating around. I completely enclosed my Canon in plastic, used a remote shutter release (the handy Promote Control) and only the end of the lens was sticking out, which had my UV filter on it (although not needed here) to protect the glass. I was not about to ruin my brand new lens or camera. So even though it looked ridiculous, my gear still works. Long story short: I have seen it once; I will probably never return.
So far, and I have not even looked at all my 200 shots from the canyon yet, this one is my favorite. It also took 8 hours to process and I had to break up the time over about 8 days. Why? There was a person in the other room of the canyon, who moved into my shot, and their body lit up and their shoes reflected some light which completely blew out. So, I spent 7 of those hours essentially rebuilding the bottom quarter of the light beam. There was also a bunch of color fringing. I think I created over 175 layers in Photoshop. Although I personally do not think this shot is perfect (especially at the pixel level), since there is still some issues from the person in the background, I don't think I have the energy to try anymore...
This is a 5 shot HDR at 1EV spacing.

With our somewhat on-the-fly decision making for shots on the day of the T1 chase, there were a few that were absolute must-haves. One of them was down by Lake Hauto.
It turns out, if you park up in a gravel lot by the main road, you can really leg it downhill towards the waterfront, which is actually the site of a dam - though the power plant portion itself has been largely demolished. Still, the site is easily accessible to those willing - and boy, is it a hell of a place to catch the train.
Lake Hauto sits at a sort of bowl, with the mountains creating the walls, and more importantly, creating the perfect location for sound to bounce back and forth. Perhaps it's a controversial opinion, but the T1s normal whistle doesn't interest me much at all, but I love that hooter whistle it wears. Oh, the sound it makes reverberating between the hillsides and across the calm water... To die for. Simply stunning.
The tracks down by the water are in need of some work, so trackspeed is relatively slow, which gave us a wonderful view of the T1s arrival to Nesquehoning, and shortly thereafter, Jim Thorpe.
Okay, one downside to this location: getting back up. It sure does take a minute, and you won't be getting ahead until after it arrives at Jim Thorpe. However, upon arrival, it doesn't sit still immediately...
The best spot for sunset as the 3 colours of sand the canion is made of come alive. And because its consist of sand the Hell's Kitchen is always a little different after the heavy rain. East Kenya.
