Everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere.
At times you would want them just to go away for a littlw while so you did not have to twist/turn/paddle around them.

La steppe et les prairies couvrent 52% des terres mongoles. Outre les graminÈes omniprÈsentes, l'absinthe sauvage est trËs rÈpandue. Elles sont recouvertes au printemps, et dans une moindre mesure en ÈtÈ de fleurs innombrables : edelweiss, gentianes, gÈraniums, oeillets, delphiniums, pois, ancolies, rhododendrons, asters et bien d'autres transforment la Mongolie en jardin infini.
L'environnement de la Mongolie est encore globalement dans un bon Ètat de prÈservation ; essentiellement du fait du faible peuplement, du mode de vie nomade traditionnel mÈnageant ses ressources pour survivre, et d'une spiritualitÈ trËs respectueuse des forces et de l'harmonie de la Nature.
Le Cheptel constitue la partie la plus visible de l'abondante vie animale, et se compose de cinq espËces (les mongols disent les cinq museaux) complÈmentaires traditionnellement ÈlevÈs par les Mongols
Símbolo maior de Paris que se transformou no símbolo da França inteira, omnipresente na paisagem parisiense pois vista de todas os pontos da capital, aquela que o grande arquiteto Le Corbusier dizia “signe de Paris aimé, signe aimé de Paris”, a Torre Eiffel foi repudiada pelos parisienses da sua construção até os meados do século XX.
Considerada como um objeto estranho que esmagava os outros monumentos pela sua altura e corpulência metálica, ela só escapou da destruição porque defendida pelos militares e cientistas que avançavam argumentos úteis.
Ela serviu às primeiras experiências do telégrafo sem fio, foi posto de observação militar durante a 1° Guerra Mundial, captava as mensagens e vigiava os aviões durante manobras militares, resistiu à Hitler e participou das festas da libertação de Paris da ocupação alemã se transformando temporariamente em bordel militar para os soldados americanos.
Em 1964 ela foi definitivamente inscrita no Inventário dos Monumentos Históricos e ganhou para sempre os corações dos francesas quando a Torre Montparnasse foi construída.
Todos passaram a acha-la sempre moderna, cheia de graça e leve, enquanto a outra foi considerada imediatamente caduca.

Dans tous les bidonvilles de Nairobi, la violence est omniprésente et touche en particulier les femmes. Les habitants vivent dans des conditions précaires et ont un accès limité à l’eau salubre, aux installations sanitaires, aux services de santé, aux écoles et aux autres services publics de base. De nombreuses femmes doivent marcher longtemps avant d’atteindre des toilettes, ce qui s’avère particulièrement dangereux une fois qu’il fait nuit.
Amnesty Belgium et nos groupes universitaires ont mené une action coup de poing devant l'ambassade du Kenya : il s'agissait de faire pression sur le gouvernement kenyan afin qu'ils prennent des mesures en faveur des femmes au Kenya.

Bewick St. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, November 2009
This guy was busy eating a sandwich across from my bus stop in Newcastle city centre. He didn't see me or the large statue watching his every bite.
I used an IR effect here in PSE7. I like the white leaves and the dark shadows on the statue, it's almost like a shadow in reverse. It also gives it a slightly sinister edge.

Gnomes, fairies, dryads and other...
omnipresent tiny helpers, tenders and keepers of the fragible balance between Our world and The Other one :-)
My "Wooden-Tinies" are here for those of You, who are sure, that their house is the right place for some Tiny-Friend... They all can domesticate either on Your Nature-table, bookshelf or on the bedside-table of Your little baby or child.

This gnome measures 3.8" x 1.6" x 0,75".
Waldorf inspired toy or decoration.

Each figure is completely hand-made: sawed from natural whitewood, hand-carved and sanded, both front and back details-burned and painted with natural colour oils (non toxic, tested and intended for toys-making usage and also for contact with food, made in Germany), sanded again and painted with a second layer of natural (the same, but colourless) oil. Finished with bees wax. Finally felt-polished.

Links to my facebook page (I need your likes) and my blog are included in my profile information Cathédrale des Saints-Michel-et-Gudule I Off late, I have found out that the keyboard seems to be a good mechanism to vent out your frustation. Plus the colors captured by the pin hole help me preserve my sanity.HOwever, the pin hole seems to be getting more and more complex and expensive day by day ...
One of Varadero's omnipresent lizards. There were lizards with yellow stripes, and lizards with curly tails, and probably a lot of others. This is one of the curly-tailed guys, pausing briefly on the front path to Club Karey. Each was around the size of my hand...not that I ever got close enough to pick one up. They disappeared if you so much as even thought the word 'gecko.'

[Week 11]
Every day more than 100.000 people die, because of diseases, war, accidents or biological reasons. I hope this picture shows you that the death is something that always surrounds us. We are always hearing about people dying in Afghanistan, but we don't really care about it, because it is not someone we know and if it happens once in our circle of friends, we are paralysed (shocked) about it. Death is something we should deal with and the earlier you manage to deal with it the sooner you will understand how lucky we are to live, so please think about people who have to go to war or who have illnesses (e.g cancer; aids; ...) . These people fight everyday, so that their life is going to be better.
