(Just another day of previous photoshoot, I tryed another time for take longer exposures. For this shot I wanted to guide with the light of dawn on the boats)
Magical sunrise in this beautiful place that is the Albufera of Valencia.
The image title is because during the photoshoot, surrounded by all this beauty, calm water, boat, reeds, mud, tranquility, flying birds ... every moment reminded me a lot to the great novel "Cañas y Barro" of the great Valencian writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, set in rural Valencia (Albufera) of the early twentieth century, the novel observes and portrays the social reality of the time and place with absolute precision.
On the technical side, say that I only used a ND soft gradient three steps filter combined with one four steps ND filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Wednesday. :)

The Al Faisaliah Tower in downtown Riyadh was the first skyscraper built in Saudi Arabia. The 60-story building with a gently curving shape has a restaurant encapsulated in the golden geodesic orb that tops the Tower. It opened in May 2000. The two hundred and sixty seven metres high Faisaliah tower, with a golden globe just below the summit, took three years to build and has been planned by its British designers to withstand Saudi Arabia's soaring summer temperatures of more than fifty degrees Celsius 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Up to fifty tons of ice are taken into the tower each night, which then melts during the day to keep the building cool.
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 within one month. 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 was also very lucky with the weather that day as clouds and colors likes this are very, very rare in the Middle East. The Gods of weather had been on my side yet again. And at last not least, if you wonder what is that bright spot in left top corner, the answer is - yes it is the moon.

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultanahmet Camii) is a historical mosque in Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the capital of the Ottoman Empire (from 1299 to 1923). The mosque is one of several mosques known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior. It was built between 1609 and 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also comprises a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque has become one of the greatest tourist attractions of Istanbul.this mosque is also called the johan kimonary nad the istkkahyura toh mosque this is the largest.
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque is one of the two mosques in Turkey that has six minarets, the other is in Adana. When the number of minarets was revealed, the Sultan was criticized for presumption, since this was, at the time, the same number as at the mosque of the Ka'aba in Mecca. He overcame this problem by paying for a seventh minaret at the Mecca mosque.
Four minarets stand at the corners of the mosque. Each of these fluted, pencil-shaped minarets has three balconies (ṣerefe) with stalactite corbels, while the two others at the end of the forecourt only have two balconies.
Photo taken very early in the morning when the light was still very soft. Blue color of the sky increased with Nikon Circular Polarizer.

Bagan, more popularly known as the city of four million pagodas and temples, the Birth Place of Therabardha buddhism is located on the eastern bank of Majestic Ayeyawaddy River. It is only a forty two square kilometers land which is confined by over 2500 Pagodas and temples. In former days as well as now, the pilgrims are allowed to climb on the top vestibules or terrace from where view the mystical panorama of Bagan. Some of the biggest pagodas were closed for climbing, but there is still sufficient number of them to enjoy the view from.
I was updating my web with some new and old photos, Myanmar was one of those countries. I was pleased to found some hiddent gems, this is one of them. Greetings from Luang Prabang in Laos, absolutely fascinating place, luckily under UNESCO heritage as well. More photos from here will follow soon.

This is a straight shot and taken a few minutes after my Pre-Dawn Mount Whitney photo. Due to the gamut differences i do think this looks a little better on a Mac vs a PC, but I think it still looks ok. I'm very picky with such things. So for you PC users sorry about the slightly dark image. I had intended it to be a little brighter.
You know if you rent a house from someone to enjoy your holiday in you'll often find a little book. In this book there are all kinds of notes from people who have enjoyed their holidays in the same house.
This is the book I'm talking about.

Best On Black. This was my favorite Maui sunset I encountered on our trip, the right mix of clouds and color. It didn't last long, as the sun dropped straight over the horizon.
From this view, I am standing on the shores of Wailea beach, looking due west. The landmass to the right of the sun is west Maui. The glow in the center is the Island of Lanai off the South Maui Coast. It's quite some distance from South Maui, but a short ferry ride from West Maui. Wailea beach has some absolutely gorgeous sunsets to behold, and every night was a surprise. This is the preferred thing to do after touring all over maui during the day.
Fall mountain biking is the best mountain biking. The air is cool and you've got a full season of training under your belt for big rides. I took this picture yesterday, in the mountains above Salt Lake City, Utah. The aspens are just starting to turn but it definitely feels like fall. Winter will come to the high country soon. Until then, I'll be spending as much time as I can on mountain singletrack.
Already back from this spectacular land of volcanoes, I share with you another photograph, this time a location at the South of the island.
For the technical part, it is a long exposure of 8 seconds, looking for the tones of the clouds and the waves breaking against the rocks just after the sunrise.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Monday. :)

Bir Ali is located on the spectacular coast road and it is surrounded by white sand dunes, green rocky mountains and black lava deposits. You can spend your afternoon swimming or relaxing on a white sand beach or spend overnight in beach huts. The surrounding coast is a mixture of volcanic landscape and occasional patches of sand dunes.

I missed you.
Again.
Well, world… I have a job. I've been hired at a strategic design and branding firm here in San Diego. I accomplished my goal, and now (that I have no free time) I'm allowing myself the treat of basking in flickr once again. Expect me to take ages to getting around to catching up. But, darnit, I will. I'm really delighted to finally see what you've been up to.
On our first day in Yosemite the sun was shining brightly. Deep shadows transversed across the valley depending on the time of day and angle of the sun. We had been viewing Upper Yosemite Falls from a distance to the east of this meadow. As we walked in, the meadow was in complete shadow. When we turned to walk back, the magic light falling between El Capitan and Cathedral Rocks transformed the pines into this incredible scene.
My hound loves to watch for squirrels, rabbits and other intruders, real and imaginary, from the top step of our patio. Caught this shot at sunset....

Vietnam - Hoi An - Hội An - Charming Little Riverside Ancient Town famed for its beautiful old buildings, its narrow, quiet streets - Exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century
Lantern is closely linked with the lives of Chinese people, as you can find it everywhere, especially during festivals and holidays. Hanging on the front gate of houses and stores, red lanterns decorate the street in a unique way and as every big city or small town in Vietnam has its own Chinese quarter, you find it many lanterns in Vietnam as well.
Lanterns in China are more than lighting devices and red lanterns are regarded as a basic symbol of the Chinese culture, a symbol of brightness, happiness and reunion. Both the gigantic lanterns at the Tiananmen Gate and the small lanterns of a peasant's hut express the same warm, happy and joyous atmosphere. You see a red lantern and your mind thinks of China.
Supposed to warn away evil sprits while brightening the mood with the red glow of good luck, red lanterns are considered a necessity of traditional Chinese festivals. In Lantern Festival (the fifteenth day of the first Chinese lunar month), the preferred warm red of traditional lanterns creates a convivial atmosphere at the family reunion as well as lights up the hope for the New Year. Lanterns, especially the red-colored, deserve adoration for the magical element they add to the atmosphere. In ancient times, the lanterns were fairly simple, for only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones; in modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs.

Best On Black This shot best illustrates the quality of light on the island in the late afternoon early evening as people settle down to enjoy the light show the island provides as the sun goes down.

Here you see the wagon filled with hot cokes. This is going to be cooled instantly, which will produce enormous amounts of steam. Taken from the "Alsumer berg"
I couldn't believe it when I walked out past the lighthouse at Nugget Point and saw these beautiful nuggets stretching out towards the horizon, with the clouds following them to the same vanishing point. I was literally jumping for joy at the beauty I saw here.
