See my shots on flickriver:
Iconic shot of this famous small Baroque church in the Funes Valley, Italy, with peaks from the Dolomites in the background.
Built in the mid 1750's, the church is for the Patron Saint of Bohemia, John of Nepomuk, who was martyred by being drowned in the river Vltava. The unusual garland star over the church is in reference to a star-shaped garland found near his remains. He is therefore considered to be the patron saint of all people in danger of drowning.
Well worth the visit, but good luck finding it, as it has several names (German, Italian, etc) and isn't close to any major roads.
Windows of opportunity come and go, and unfortunately my window in the short amount of time we had here at the church (San Giovanni in Italian) the lighting was poor from a completely overcast sky. Fortunately it burned off for some sun later on in the day, when we were further along the Greater Dolomites Road.

One of the best things to do in the fall in Northern Virginia is to take Skyline Drive to see the colors changing in the Appalachians. The many overlooks afford sweeping views of both sides of the Appalachian Ridge.
From Wikipedia: The Shenandoah Valley is both a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia in the United States. The valley is bounded to the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the west by the eastern front of the Appalachians, to the north by the Potomac River and to the south by the James River. The cultural region covers a larger area that includes all of the valley plus the Virginia highlands to the west.

Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti is a palace adjacent to the Ponte dell'Accademia, one of only four bridges that spans the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The palace was erected in 1565, and went though a series of renovations throughout the mid-19th Century. Since 1999 it has been the seat of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti (Venetian Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts). It frequently houses cultural events.
The Grand Canal is the lungs, major artery and highway of Venice. The banks are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and display up front the art and architecture created by the Republic of Venice thoughout its history.
This photo was taken at almost the same time as this capture of the Grand Canal seen here.

A casual greeting for yet another tourist in this magnificent city, from one of its most iconic denizens: a gondolier, going about his business on the Grand Canal. I love this city, it lives up to all the hype, and if you stay a while, surpasses it.
The Grand Canal is the lungs, major artery and highway of Venice. The banks are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and display up front the art and architecture created by the Republic of Venice thoughout its storied history. The churches along the canal include the impressive basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.
The majority of these wonderful palaces emerge from water without pavement, which allows for great views of these buildings on the Grand Canal by boat.
Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the Ponte della Costituzione. Make sure you take the time to see the entire Grand Canal by boat, the way it was meant to be seen.

Monterosso al Mare is in the Riviera di Levante region of Italy and has a shoreline on the Mediterranean's Gulf of Genoa. It is the westernmost and northernmost "village" of the Cinque Terre, but much of it doesn't feel like the Cinque Terre at all, having more in common with beach-vacation resorts rather than the quaint and charming rustic villages to its south.
The beach is the only extensive sand beach in the Cinque Terre. The town is divided into two distinct parts: the old town in the north and the new town to the south. The two areas are divided by a single tunnel that caters to pedestrians and the very few cars in the town.
This shot here includes Lo scoglio di monterosso, "The Rock of Monterosso", to the right center of the capture.
The Cinque Terre ("Five Lands") is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It has five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting all 5 towns, and in addition there are water taxis which run when the sea is calm. The coastline, the villages and surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I realise that I'm growing more cynical lately. I'm more sceptical with the 3 words "I Love You" and more reluctant to say them back. Maybe the feelings of love are not complicated or hard to find like I think. Maybe they are just the feelings of pink, unconditionally giving before taking...

"...é preciso escolher.
Porque o tempo foge.
Não há tempo para tudo.
Não poderei escutar todas as músicas que desejo,
não poderei ler todos os livros que desejo,
não poderei abraçar todas as pessoas que desejo.
É necessário aprender a arte de “abrir mão” –
a fim de nos dedicarmos àquilo que é essencial. (...)"

Piazza San Marco (Saint Mark's Square) shot from the viewing balcony on Saint Mark's Basilica. On the far left is the Venetian Lagoon with Saint Theodore's column. The Biblioteca is center left and the base of the impressive Campanile on the right.
Piazza San Marco is so well known, you can either say too much or too little about it, but there is a reason why it is THE tourist draw in Venice, above all others. Here you can find all things Venice in one stop, which is precisely why it is so crazy crowded from about 11:00 am to late afternoon.
In other words, get there early! Beat the other tourists to the Campanile (free standing bell tower, the long line for which is in view on the left), St. Mark's Basilica with its stunning Horses of Saint Mark (and don't miss the balcony, from which this photo was taken), and the Doge's Palace. I recommend you see them in that order, too. You can also see the Biblioteca, the Clocktower and arcades (out of view to the right), take photos of the Bridge of Sighs, shop and eat off square, and when you are ready take a gondola ride from the docks.

The impressive baptistery in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles, formally known as Piazza del Duomo) supports the diocese of the Santa Maria Assunta cathedral in Pisa, Italy. The famous walled square is recognized as an important center of European medieval art and is considered to be one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. Along with the batistery, the square features the Leaning Tower of Pisa (the Campanile), the Pisa Cathedral, and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery). The entire Piazza del Duomo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Pisa Baptistery, dedicated to St. John The Baptist, is the largest in Italy, at 54.86 m high with a diameter of 34.13 m. It is constructed of marble but was built on the same unstable sand as its more famous neighbor, the Leaning Tower. As a result the Baptistery leans 0.6 degrees toward the duomo. Construction was started in 1152 but was not completed until 1363. The Baptistery was designed by Diotisalvi and is an example of the transition from the Romanesque style to the Gothic style: the lower section is in the Romanesque style, with rounded arches, while the upper sections are in the Gothic style, with pointed arches.

… and when the going gets rough
and feel like you may fall ,just look on the bright side
you’re roughly six feet tall…
They are beautiful to look at, and no joke it feel so great to hold in hand!

And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

This is a trial to see how many people could see this shot as there is a bug on Flickr since long time , that prevents from seeing some shots from contacts and from some Flickers ,the moment they upload them ,but they may show up after some hours or days.

For the 70th Anniversary of Victory in Europe, there was a massive WWII warbird flyover of Washington D.C. called "The Arsenal of Democracy". All "the heavies" operated out of Manassas Regional Airport and we were able to go see them. Fifi is one of only two flying B-29 Superfortresses left in the world, the other being newly-restored Doc. Here Fifi is on final appoach for Runway 16L.
The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was an important bomber flown by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the largest aircraft operational during World War II and featured state of the art technology. It was the single most expensive weapons project undertaken by America during World War II, exceeding the cost of the Manhattan Project by between 1 and 1.7 billion dollars! Innovations introduced included a pressurized cabin, dual-wheeled, tricycle landing gear, and an analog computer-controlled fire-control system that directed four remote machine gun turrets that could be operated by a single gunner and a fire-control officer. One of the B-29's final roles during World War II was carrying out the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were responsible for bringing the war in the Pacific to an end in 1945. Total B-29 production came to 3,970 aircraft.
For more information on FiFi, see her website here.

Nasrid Palaces, Alhambra, Granada, Andalusia, Spain
The Rauda Tower (Torre de la Rauda) stands behind the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones), to which it connected through a door. It was thought during quite a long time that this was the place where the Kings of Granada were buried. However, the cemetery was found outside the palace, more to the south, so that the Rauda must have been its main entrance or the entrance to the original palace.
The tower started to be called like the gardens ("rawda") that surround the building of the royal cemetery, which is located behind the Patio of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) and it is separated from it by a moat.
The first remains of the tower to be found date from the same period as the Arms Tower (Torre de las Armas). These remains were discovered in 1887, when the construction added to the palace of the Harem was demolished. It was then studied between 1925 and 1926. Only the lower part of its walls remains, with fragments of tiles.

The keeper put the keg in the water, and the cats paced around for a while, and then this one went in the water! One of the other cats already went in and came out by this point.
I also heard yesterday and confirmed today that these three tigers are leaving the National Zoo this month :( :( :( They're going to Denver I think, and the National Zoo is going to try to get these guys' parents to breed again in time for a spring birth.

Neat Image used to filter out some noise. Nikon D70s, Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6. I'm not sure, but I think I may have had the polarizer on. I had it on and off for a bit in this time frame, ~1pm.
Exif data removed by Neat Image: Exposure: 1/250, Aperture: f/8, Focal Length: 190mm, Flash: Flash fired, auto mode (Nikon SB-800 w/shield-diffuser), ISO Speed: 200
I guess 1/250th wasn't fast enough! There's still a bit of blur.

Shot in the lovely late afternoon light on Saturday afternoon at the Abbey Medieval Festival, Abbeystowe, Caboolture, Qld.
Ordinarily one would not shoot into the sun due to the flaring that occurs, but in this case, the rim lighting and yes, even the flaring was desired for the overall effect.
This may be Gecko's last Abbey Festival as next year another larger horse will be coming instead.
For more information about Gecko (Princess Majestic Echo) head over to Terror's Creek Drum Horses.

Nel 1894 si inaugura la Funicolare Como-Brunate, simbolo dello sviluppo dei trasporti pubblici di quel periodo, quando ogni centro della provincia era collegato con il comune capoluogo da una serie di linee di pubblico trasporto.
Era il periodo dello sviluppo industriale e dell'inizio di quello che sarebbe diventato il "Turismo di massa".
Nel 1911 viene cambiata la trazione che da vapore diventa elettrica.
Nel 1912 si installa il "cannone" che spara a salve ogni mezzogiorno (riattivato nel 1994 dopo quasi vent'anni di inutilizzo).
Negli anni 1934/35 l'impianto è completamente rinnovato, compreso il rifacimento ex novo della stazione di Brunate.
Nel 1951 si procede ad un ulteriore cambio delle vetture.
Alla fine degli anni '60, il trasporto individuale, tramite l'automobile, mette in crisi il trasporto pubblico, così come si era andato configurando nella seconda metà del XX secolo.
Negli anni '70 a Como, come in altre realtà del Paese, le aziende di trasporto pubblico private, non riescono più a contenere i disavanzi e, una dopo l'altra, entrano in crisi.
Gli enti locali comaschi (Comuni e Provincia) decidono di dare una risposta a tale situazione costituendo un Consorzio che gestisca le linee extraurbane della provincia di Como già in concessione alle aziende STECAV, SALVI, BARADELLO. GRATTONI e DELL'OCA.
Tale consorzio gestirà per un lungo periodo anche l’impianto della funicolare la cui proprietà,nel frattempo, a partire da 1981 era stata trasferita dalla Società Anonima Funicolare Como/Brunate, (il cui azionista di riferimento era il conte dott. Cesare Bonacossa) alla Regione Lombardia.
Nel corso del periodo di gestione in affidamento, il consorzio C.P.T. ha anche operato l’ adeguamento dell'impianto alle nuove esigenze di sicurezza e di tecnologia.
Dal luglio 2005 la gestione della Funicolare Como/Brunate viene infine affidata, a seguito dell’applicazione da parte del Comune di Como delle procedure di liberalizzazione per il comparto dei servizi pubblici di trasporto, ad una società mista con sede in Como (Consorzio Mobilità Funicolare & Bus) all’interno della quale il ruolo operativo di gestione del servizio della funicolare Como- Brunate è affidato all’ Azienda Trasporti Milanesi S.p.A.

Well, I thought the thief had deleted my images from his stream, but apparently he just deleted the set. He has 17 of my images from the middle of page 7-8. I would suggest y'all block him and I would also appreciate it if y'all would report him to the Flickr team. I wish that Flickr would do more to protect us from this sort of thing from happening.
Have a Happy Easter!

Carissimi amici di Flickr da domani vado in ferie!!!
Non guarderò più il mare dalla finestra
.....mi tufferò nelle sue bellissime acque....
e godrò la sua bellezza dal vivo!
My Golden Retriever, Kate, celebrating her 15th birthday. Still so beautiful! We sung happy birthday and brought her candles in meat -- of course, we did not feed her all of it, we cut just a few small bites for her. When you make it to be this old, you deserve a treat on your birthday!
