Kuwait - Evening over Bneid Al Gar from 56th floor of Al Hamra Tower by Lucie Debelkova

Join me on Facebook | Google+ | Twitter | 500px | Instagram

~~~~~~~~~

This is a view of Bneid Al Gar and the Gulf Road.The Gulf Road is a long stretch of road along the coast of Kuwait City that starts at Jahrah and ends south at Messila, where it joins the Sixth Ring Road. Another stretch actually called the Coastal Road, from Fintas to Fahaheel is also sometimes called the Gulf Road. Landmarks located alongside the road include the Kuwait Towers, in Kuwait City and the Kuwait Scientific Center in Salmiya. The Gulf Road is coveted for its amazing sea vistas, and is the main hub for new construction of future buildings and renovations. A boulevard passing through much of coastal Salmiya is a reflection of Kuwait's drive to modernity. Much of the beach front had been renovated by the Kuwait Govenment after the destruction of the Persian Gulf War.

This is a view taken from 56th floor of The Al Hamra Tower, which is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in downtown Kuwait City, Kuwait. Designed by architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the tower will become the tallest building in Kuwait on completion in 2010 at 412 m (1,350 ft). It will also be the tallest sculpted tower in the world. The tower will include 98,000 m2 (1,050,000 sq ft) of commercial and office space. The building will connect to a five-storey retail mall which totals 23,000 m2 (250,000 sq ft) of retail space and will include an integrated theater complex and an 11-storey carpark. The tower itself will be built on an 18,000 m2 (190,000 sq ft) construction site.

The Al Hamra Tower will have over 70 floors of office space, a rooftop restaurant and a spa. The shopping centre will include a 10-screen cinema complex which will also have IMAX theaters. As of February 12, 2009, construction of the tower had reached over 263 metres. The eleven-storey car parking is currently nine floors overground, while four floors of the shopping centre have been completed and construction on that component carries on. The tower itself is currently on the fifty-sixth level. Topping-out is scheduled for late 2009, with the tower opening in the second half of 2010.

Iran - Esfahan - Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque and its Blue Tiles by Lucie Debelkova

Middle East - Iran - Isfahan Province - Esfahan - Isfahan - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Marvel of Islamic Architecture & Iran’s number-one tourist destination - Imam Square - Naqsh-e Jahan Square - Spectacular open space surrounded by stunning buildings from the Safavid era - Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque - Masjed-e Sheikh Lotfollah - One of the architectural masterpieces of Safavid Iranian architecture

Esfahan is one of the most romantic places I've ever visited. It is one of the oldest cities of Iran with the 1,001,000 population located 414 km south of Tehran and 481 km north of Shiraz. This 2500 years old city served as Persia's capital from 1598 to 1722.

Esfahan was a crossroad of international trade and diplomacy, and therefore was a kaleidoscope of resident languages, religions, and customs. The city is known for its silver filigree and metal work. This city is renowned not only for the abundance of great historical monuments, but also for its Life-Giving River, The Zayandeh-Rood, which has given the city an original beauty and a fertile land. Esfahan is filled with old gardens and some of the best sights in Iran.

The Iranian cultural region (consisting of the modern nations of Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and surrounding regions) is home to one of the richest art heritages in world history and encompasses many disciplines including architecture, painting, weaving, pottery, calligraphy, metalworking and stone masonry. The architecture of Iran is one with an exceedingly ancient tradition and heritage. Since centuries, Iranian art has developed particular patterns designed to decorate Iranian produced craft. Iranian architecture displays great variety, both structural and aesthetic, developing gradually and coherently out of prior traditions and experience.

United Arab Emirates - Dubai Emirate - Desert Safari in Sand Dunes by Lucie Debelkova

Taken during desert safari around Dubai. Great thing about desert around Dubai is that the sand is orange with very thin layer of red sand on the top which adds additional richness to the overall color. Desert safari in Dubai is very touristic thing to do, but it is big fun too. They generally stop at some lovely place just before sunset and give you a chance to take some photos with a wonderful light too.

A trip to the desert offers a real adventure into the magnificent landscape of the unique sands of Arabia. This safari tour takes you right into the heart of the desert where you experience the excitement of a roller-coaster tour down the astonishing high dunes. A stop for a breathtaking view of the endless desert gives an opportunity to watch the sun-set over this tranquil scenery.

Magical Lights Over The Rice Fields. by David Sangüesa

292 14

I share today this photograph of my session last February in Albufera of Valencia.

That day I returned from taking pictures of wildlife, and I thought that there could still be luck with the lights, it was windy and the day had been quite warm, so I had to try.

At this time, just in the blue hour, only the sounds of birds were heard and the murmur of water through the fields, the feeling of calm was total.

Regarding the technical part, it is a 15 second long exposure using the combination of a four-step Formatt Hitech Filters ND filter and a soft three-step gradient ND.

I hope you like it.

Have a nice Tuesday. ;)

Like Another World. by David Sangüesa

276 17

That is the feeling of this place when I arrived was still enough minutes for the sunrise, the whole scene was flooded with a purple light that is typical in some times just before a new day begins.

This cove is known as Cala Cocedores, because in the last century they cooked the esparto that was used in tasks of the sea.

I choose the vertical view, because the rocks beneath the water seemed like small faces of ancient sailors, caught in the calm of that dawn haze.

The silence was absolute, and I entered the water with the wader, I tried to get through the long exposure to make the image as mysterious as possible.

For this I used a Formatt Hitech Firecrest filter system. Combining a four step Firecrest ND filter and a three step degraded Firecrest ND filter, plus the black card technique to compensate for the strong light of dawn.

I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

Morocco - Merzouga Sand - Erg Chebbi Dunes - Shadows of the Caravan by Lucie Debelkova

Join me @ Facebook | Twitter | 500px | Instagram | YouTube

* * * * * *

The dunes of Erg Chebbi are a magical destination, full of magnetism and mystery with easy access for all travelers. If you want to visit Morocco, this jewel of the Sahara is a place not to be missed. The Dunes of Erg Chebbi are a unique natural spectacle, where giant sand dunes stand up in the middle of the dark volcanic cobalt plateaus of Sahara Desert.

The legend of Erg Chebbi / Merzouga tells that the largest sand dunes in Morocco appeared as a punishment from God to wealthy families who refused to accept a poor woman with her son at a party while they were washing hands with milk and playing with balls of couscous. These people were then buried by sand storms and strong winds that formed large dunes with the highest measure of around 160 meters above sea level.

Morocco and especially Sahara desert with its very dark skies is perfect for seeing and also capturing the night sky with the glorious Milky Way. The sky in the desert is wonderfully dark with minimum light pollution, which gives a great sight, which you can also see in the :

Iceland - Jökulsárlón - Mirror, Mirror - Who's the fairest of them all? by Lucie Debelkova

Jökulsárlón might be one of the most photographed locations in Iceland and for all the right reasons. I had a chance to visit this place several times by now and it has never been the same, always presenting photographer with various new opportunities. This time, I had a pyramid iceberg with circle whole in it which is rather unique. I really liked how the iceberg mirrored the shape of the mountain in the background. Not to mention the calm surface that allowed me to take perfect mirror reflection (it is not always that calm!!). I thought that this iceberg was really great and I looked forward to take more shots of it during different times of day... unfortunately it collapsed within few hours.. so it was one of those short windows of opportunities in life.

Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City - Saigon - Incense Spirals in Chinese temple by Lucie Debelkova

Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City - Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh - Saigon - Sài Gòn - Worship in Traditional Chinese Buddhist Temple - Sacred House of Worship & Prayer - Burning of Incense Spirals

Incense spirals (also called incense coils) are one of the forms of incense. An incense coil is made entirely of incense, without a bamboo core in the middle as seen with incense sticks. They are called incense spirals because they are shaped into a spiral instead of a straight stick shape. A spiral shape allows for a much larger piece of incense which burns longer while taking up little space. An incense stick can be made in any length, but the longer the stick, the greater the chance of breakage. This limits incense sticks to no more than three feet in length in general practice. Incense coils have been in use for a considerable length of time in the East thanks to their much longer burn times and compact footprint. For temples and monasteries which use a lot of incense, these coils are ideal. The coils can be suspended from the ceiling which allows more floor space to be freed up for worshippers. It is not uncommon to see a temple ceiling which is covered with large hanging incense coils. These coils can burn for days at a time. Incense coils this size are not very practical for use in the home, however.

Joss sticks are a type of incense used in many East Asian countries, traditionally burned before a Chinese religious image, idol or shrine. They can also be burned in front of a door, or open window as an offering to heaven, or devas. In modern days, joss sticks can be used for any purpose, such as to enhance the smell of a room, or to light fire crackers. The word "joss" is derived from the Latin deus (god) via Portuguese. Spiral joss sticks are also used on a regular basis, which are found hanging above temple ceilings, with burn times that are exceedingly long.

Saudi Arabia - Pink Sunset over Kindom Tower in Riyadh by Lucie Debelkova

94 212

Join me on Facebook | Google+ | Twitter | 500px | Instagram

~~~~~~~~~

Riyadh (Arabic: الرياض‎ ar-Riyāḍ) is the capital of Saudi Arabia and its largest city. It is also the capital of Riyadh Province, and belongs to the historical regions of Nejd and Al-Yamama. It is situated in the center of the Arabian Peninsula on a large plateau, and is home to over 4,260,000 people. The highest building in the middle is a Kingdom Centre Tower (Arabic: برج المملكة‎), it is a supertall skyscraper in Riyadh. It is the tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia and the 40th tallest building in world with a height of 311 m (1,000 ft). It is also host to the highest mosque in the world. The Tower Contains a total of 41 floors. It is also the 2nd tallest building with a hole. The Kingdom Centre is owned by Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a prince of the Saudi royal family. It is also the headquarters of his holding company: Kingdom Holding Company. The total cost of the project was US$1 billion. Kingdom Centre is situated in Al-Urubah Road between King Fahd Road and Olaya Road.

If you wonder how I get photo like this, the story goes as follows - during my February trip to Saudi, I've discovered unfinished high building between Kingdom tower and Faisaliah tower. The weather that month was terrible due to sand storm across the whole region. I have however made appointment that I come again this weekend. So I did. The construction manager that I have agreed with was not there anymore but they knew I'm coming. It was just after 4PM but the sunset was at 6PM that day. Shift for construction workers finished at 4.45 PM which would mean I have to walk to the 19th floor on foot if I'd come just before 6PM as they only use one work lift that is from outside of the building (rather scary, not recommended to look down). I didn't fancy the walk up and agreed with the present manager that I stay there for those 2 hours till sunset and then walk those 19 floors down. They already thought that I'm crazy, but as there are not that many crazy European women around, they let me. Luck however was on my side and that handsome manager came back just before sunset, probably thinking that I shoot 3 photos of sun setting down and I'm done. How little did he know ... The best colors always come after sunset and long exposures can be done only when the darkness falls. He had to wait for another hour to get me down :-) We had really lovely time while seeing sky like this, listening the the calls for prayers, coming from every corner of the city.. allahu akbar, allahu akbar... with the whole city in front of us. We talked about life and photography, he made a mistake asking me, how is the photo done, so I bore him for a while trying to explain long exposure time .. not for long.. Moments like this are priceless and I was extremely thankful to him that he rescued me from walking all those 19th floors down on rather unfinished staircase. I have to admit that I could not believe my eyes when I saw that enormous cloud just coming from behind the symbol of Riyadh and needless to say that colors likes this are very, very rare in the Middle East. The Gods of weather had to be on my side yet again.

Menorca Sunset II. by David Sangüesa

I leave you today with this photograph of my series on last August, an intense sunset in Pont d'en Gil, a spectacular natural bridge by the sea on a rocky breakwater on the cliffs of northern Menorca.

They were about five minutes in which the orange flooded everything, creating an incredible atmosphere.

On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.

I hope you like it. Have a nice Tuesday. :)

Bahrain - Mysterious Woman in Manama's Al Fateh Grand Mosque by Lucie Debelkova

Join me @ Facebook | Twitter | 500px | Instagram | YouTube

* * * * * *

The Al-Fateh Mosque (also known as Al-Fateh Islamic Center & Al Fateh Grand Mosque) (Arabic: مسجد الفاتح‎; transliterated: Masjid al-Fatih) is one of the largest mosques in the world, capable of accommodating over 7,000 worshipers at a time. The mosque is the largest place of worship in Bahrain. It is located next to the King Faisal Highway in Juffair, which is a town located in the capital city of Manama. The mosque is very close to the Royal Bahraini Palace, the residence of the king of Bahrain Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah. The huge dome built on top of the Al-Fatih Mosque is made of pure fiberglass. Weighting over 60 t (60,000 kg), the dome is currently the worlds largest fibreglass dome. Al-Fateh now includes the new National Library which opened to the public in 2006. The mosque was built by the late Sheikh Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifa in 1987. It is named after Ahmed Al Fateh, the conqueror of Bahrain.

We got to the grand mosque late afternoon when the sun was already relatively low. The light in the mosque was really amazing, deep yellow that was coming through the windows created amazing play of shadow and light. All women entering a mosque are requested to wear abaya, however if you dont have your own, you can always borrow one at the entrance.

Sunset in California from a couple of years ago. I used Photomatix's Tone Mapping plug-in and it brought out some very VIVID colors.... thought I'd share and see what you think.

Early Riser Fisherman. by David Sangüesa

147 47

Este pescador madrugó mucho para estar a las seis a.m. en la playa, pero desde luego que valió la pena.

Aunque no atrapó ni un solo pez, solamente por la preciosa salida del sol, se fue contento a su casa.

Fotografía tomada en el Caribe Mexicano.

Canon 6d, 24-105 L, trípode y filtro degradado neutro inverso de tres pasos.

-----------------------

This fisherman much to be up early at six am on the beach, but certainly worth it.

Although not caught a single fish, but for the beautiful sunrise, went home happy.

Picture taken on the Mexican Caribbean.

Canon 6d, 24-105 L, tripod and reverse gradient neutral filter three steps.
