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.

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.

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. :)

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....
Submission for "Magic Light" theme in The Creative Challenge contest, June 2015.
It was cloudy all day and the sun never made an appearance which is quite strange for Florida, the Sunshine State. Finally, at the very end of the day it gave us a quick glimpse of its light, but only around the fringes of a large storm system. The magic light lit up the water along the shoreline, in the sky and in the reflection. Not the best sunset, but that's why they say they're different each night ~ sunset ~ Everglades

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.

After some rainy and stormy hours we drove back into the Two Medicine Valley only to be greeted by the setting sun peeking through the clouds. This is literally taken from the cars side window
#ForestFriday
Among deep green hills
Two eyes get lost in forests
Crystal flower images slip
Among the trunks of the trees
Visions appear from the ground
Without roots but still exist
Strange animals
An eternal vital chain
Some kind of a magic scar
Everything gets harmonized
With the move of light
One with the forest
Quick move of image
Impossible to stay untouched
Material follows the balance
Release the earthly flesh
I am one with the forest
I am one with the beast
Among deep green hills
Two eyes get lost in forests
Crystal flower images slip
Among the trunks of the trees

Al Kout is a very beautiful Mall outside of Kuwait in the district of Fahaheel, right at the sea front. It is usually quiet and not so crowded like other places. It is very pleasant place to chill out and have a cup of coffee. I wanted to capture this place for some time now and finally managed to get there for sunrise.

One of my all time favourite photos is from Norway that I have taken few years ago. This is magical place and the time spent there will stay in my mind forever. When looking at this photo I still feel that cold in my fingers when I was waiting for one of the birds to appear in the right place in this shot.
"If you're looking to retreat from the world, you can't think of a more hauntingly beautiful place. These spectacular islands lie off the northern coast, near the stunning Trollfjord. Bird-watchers and anglers will think they've found paradise. The islands are surrounded by the richest fishing waters off the coast of Norway, and fishing has formed the focus of village life. Vestvagoy Island and the beautiful town of Stamsund are a good base for hiking and biking, and the town of Svolvaer on Austvagoy Island has an artists' colony (if time permits, visit the Lofoten Island Museum in nearby Kabelvag). In the village of A (yes, that's its entire name; pronounced awwww) the Fishing Village Museum re-creates the traditional life of the region. Orca, minke and sperm whales pass near the islands in summer. A popular option for visitors is renting a rorbu, a renovated fisherman's cabin that sleeps 4-6 people. Be aware that Lofoten is hardly undiscovered - in July and August, the islands are so crowded with tourists that you may not meet any Norwegians there."
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Check out how beautiful Scandinavia can be :

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"

"So the days slipped away, as each morning dawned bright and fair, and each evening followed cool and clear. But autumn was waning fast; slowly the golden light faded to pale silver, and the lingering leaves fell from the naked trees."
~J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
In 1974 the MV Irish Trader left the port of Sharpness in the Bristol Channel bound for Drogheda carrying a cargo of 410 tonnes of fertiliser when it ran aground on the soft sands of Baltray Beach, County Louth.
The reasons why it should flounder so near to Port are still unclear to this day but now some 36 years later there is very little left of her owing to the constant battering of the sea which returns twice a day to dismember her piece by piece.
Very soon there will be little or nothing left to see.
Because of the tides one has to carefully time when to visit the wreck to ensure access when the water is receding to its lowest ebb.
Baltray, near Drogheda. Ireland, 2011

Yesterday was unexpectedly clear weather (which have changed back to dusty storm this morning yet again). I have taken my camera and went to Salmiya to take some shots, luckily for me the sky got really nice clouds that beautifully reflected sunset colors.
Salmiya is the main shopping district and is located around 10km southeast of Kuwait City. It has several shopping malls, cinemas, boutiques, restaurants and supermarkets. It is a heavily populated residential area popular with Arab and Indian expatriates. This isn't the only place one can venture to in order to have a pleasurable experience of the middle eastern culture.

Un buen desayuno de verano o para la comida y merienda es el pan con tomate restregado y ajo, acompañado de queso o embutidos..... un manjar !!
Un bon esmorzar d'estiu o per al menjar i berenar és el pa amb tomàquet refregat i all, acompanyat de formatge o embotits ..... una menja!
A good summer breakfast or for lunch and snack is bread rubbed with tomato and garlic, accompanied by cheese or sausage ..... a delicacy!
Today the fog was high, very high. So I drove into the Taunus with the purpose to meet the sun. Just below the peak of the Kleiner Feldberg I reached the upper limit of the fog.
It was very impressive to stay here on this line, where you can see the blue sky above the fog and valleys flooded by fog.
---
Der Nebel war heute hoch, sehr hoch. So, um die Sonne zu sehen musste ich in den Taunus. Kurz unter dem Gipfel von Kleiner Feldberg habe ich die Obergrenze des Nebels erreicht.
Es war sehr beeindruckend hier an dieser Grenze zu stehen, wo man oben blauen Himmel sehen konnte und unten die Täler alle dicht waren.
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.
This photo won 3rd place in the 2008 Central Sierra Arts Council InFocus photography show.

Occasions the interplay of the two primal forces so that there is always renewal. It is that which keeps it all from wearing down. The universe will never be extinguished because just when the darkness seems to have smothered all, to be truly transcendent, the new seeds of light are reborn in the very depths. That is the Way. When the seed falls, it falls into the earth, into the soil. And beneath, out of sight, it comes to life.
--- Philip K. Dick, "The Man in the High Castle"
