So this is Delicate Arch, located in Arches National Park.
Yes, everyone has a photo of it...and now so I do. It was actually the first stop our first night of our 6 days in southeastern Utah recently. I tell you, when you only have 6 days and a long list of places you want to visit the hiking, shortness of breath and crowds really get old, quick.
So to the crowds...ok there wasn't really a crowd, per say, but there were a dozen (yes 12, I counted them!) Brazillian tourists at Delicate Arch when I made the 1.5 mile, 500ft elevation gain hike, for sunset. I was one of 4 other photographers that night all setup, anxiously waiting what appeared was going to be a nice sunset and 12 Brazillain tourists were running around under the arch taking photos of each other, gibbering to one another and laughing. Who knows what was so funny, but they were highly ammused. Anyway, as the sun was setting and the light started to glow off the face of the arch, we start yelling at them to get out of the way. They are clueless so I ended up taking my best shots with people in them and through the magic of Photoshop I was able to remove them...well all but one. There was this crazy lady doing this odd dance/pose thing under the arch so I decided not to clone her out and instead leave her crazy pose to give some perspetive on just how large this Arch is...and how much fun the Brazilians can have in.....Utah.

The soft and subtle foothills of the Smoky Mountains glazed over with a hint of fog offers depth and atmospheric perspetive.
An agave shot to flatten the perspective (don,t ask why I like doing that). Shot at the Tohono Chul botanical gardens in Tucson, AZ.
Here is what Bag 5 would look like if it were an actual Lego set.
This thing also has play features coming out the wazoo. It even has a super extreme function that changes the whole perspetive of it.

I spent a long time photographing these flowers in Marley Park on Sunday,
only realizing after the fact that my protracted crawling around on lawns
(which were clearly marked with do not walk on them signs)
was providing a lot of entertainment to passers by,
so i figured i should at least upload one of the resulting shots that caused me such embarrassment ;-)
Crowds gather for Sevvai Pongal.
I tried climbing up a water tank to get a better pespective, but I just couldnt hang on and take a photo! So ground level perspetive is all I got.
I'm not sure if I like the two stone poles in the foreground.

This Upload is symbolic, I was disappointed to see some people commenting on one of my flcikr contact 's Image, This was Unexpected form a cultural minded photogrpher, One has his/ her own perspetive, and other may / may not agree, we must know how to comment back and impose own likeness on others, thats also an art, I have an article DOING A PHOTO CRITIQUE here Plz read if you have some time,
It'/s Important now to Lean Flickr , Customs & Etiquette and should make a community of same minded, There are many mind in flcikr but basically two types, one, those who like to play game in the group and post logs and enjoy, even count who has the maximum logos, and the other one
they do not like graphics and only make sens within the image and text, , in-bwtween those who are a mixtue of both , may be they are not yet tuned up with the flikr customs,
Photography is an art and expression/ reading and getting in to an Image on photograph also an art, No reason to teach someone if you are a new friend or not a contact, b coz S/he may not accept you even a good valued words, one better avoid such and make a comfortabele zone,
I always sugesst to ignore such comments and may remove comments first and repeted doing so may block and be safe from such an idiot,
I came accrros a few of them and Now I put then in my Block list,
It'/s impotant to Tie same minded people to be comfortable in flcikr, wise man think befor and do the one as like a spider do for their nest, Hope you stay with me,
("Fernando Magallanes", "Ferdinand Magellan")
"The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803",
Vol. I (1493-1529).
"explorations by early navigators, descriptions of the islands and their peoples, their history and records of the catholic missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts, showing the political, economic, commercial and religious conditions of those islands from their earliest relations with European nations to the beginning of the nineteenth century."
Edited and annotated by Emma Helen Blair and James Alexander Robertson with historical introduction and additional notes by Edward Gaylord Bourne. Published in 1903.
Notes:
This is a photo of the "frontispiece" photographic reproduction from the portrait (painting) of Ferdinand Magellan in the Museo-Biblioteca de Ultramar, Madrid.
"The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803***, Vol. I (1493-1529)"
This will be included in "Kasaysayan: Philippine History" of the Likas-Philippines website.
Google, as part of its goal to digitize all information in the world and provide them online, indeed has all the volumes of "The Philippine Islands" online, from at least three world renowned libraries (for this book series) -- Harvard, Stanford and Michigan. [I am not too sure if I have seen a version from Oxford University, the 4th of the five institutions they have arrangements with to digitize all the collections of these institutions.]
So, "Why reinvent the wheel?", you might ask -- and attempt to repeat what Google has already done. Why not just link those already done by Google in Likas-Philippines and some other things, instead?
Good questions. And, here are some legitimate reasons:
1. There are obvious errors (authorship, dates, etc.), missing pages, images, and more depending on the copy you get from the Google book archives. It is evident that there was no editor assigned to ensure the accuracy of the internet books that were released. So, unless you have had access to the original documents yourself, if you read, or link, some of the Google materials, you are likely to propagate the inherent errors from the Google materials. Unfortunately, many Philippine sites that I have seen had a tendency to "quote" and link materials without considering the authenticity of the information or the reliability of the source of information.
2. Let us be realistic. It is true that Google is doing a good service for making these books available in the internet. But, first and foremost, Google, is a commercial company not in the business mainly to provide accurate information nor doing this for altruistic reasons -- it is good business, especially if your main source of revenue is advertising.
As a proof, all the individual pages of the good copies of "The Philippine Islands" were marked with the Google logo. What is to prevent them from branding the pages with their "ads" someday? Or, even limit access? Google might be 800-pound gorilla now, but American Online once had that distinction. And, so many others before that in various industries.
3. The presence of the "Google internet books" is not a replacement for a scholarly library, or for that material serious history sites, especially one as serious as "Philippine History" -- that would have impact the shaping of the mind and long term perspectives of a nation and a people.
It is the reason why, Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and for that matter "Google internet books" can never be replacements for great libraries of the world -- Library of Congress, British Library, Boston Public Library, etc. -- even if the time will come when these commercial entities could have more volumes than the aforementioned institutions.
For the same reason, "Kasaysayan: Philippine History" should never be a mere compilation of online documents from commercial or even educational and non-profit sources.
4. Foremost: "Information is power. Whoever controls the shaping of the databases of information (note 1) that defines a country also dictates the fate of the nation and its people..."
This was the initial statement in "Why Likas-Philippines?" when Likas-Philippines was first created as a website way back in 4 January 1999. [The entire content is reproduced as part of the blog "Why Likas-Philippines?". ]
Note that this perspective espoused "Why Likas-Philippines?" was written well before Google became the behemoth that it is today, or before it announced its plan to digitize all information in the world.
Google was not the first to do this, nor is it uniqe to the internet age. There was a book written by an American activist and social critic, Lilian Smith, titled "The Winner Names the Age". Basically, what the book wanted to convey was this basic idea: What we consider today as historical truth is nothing but the perspectives of the winners, i.e., not those of the vanquished.
In this sense, "The Philippine Islands" is also a perspectives of the winners -- not really those of Filipinos.
If we rely therefore on Western institutions, as well as commercial entities, such as Google, MSN, Amazon, etc., to decide what books become available (and not available) to Filipinos and the rest of the world, it would be the "perspetives" of these entities who will shape how we are viewed.
"Everyone" knew this of course. Thus, when Google, with the breath of its influence in the internet age (even more powerful now than Microsoft) and its deep financial pockets, announced its plans -- "to digitize all world information" -- even powerful countries (like France) and regional blocks (like the European Union) woke up, and realized to potential impact of how commercial institution can significantly impact the fate and perception of each nation and people; and more important, how the "profit motive" underlying such commercial enterprise can further pervert the perception.
Similarly, as poor as we are, the Philippines and Filipinos, should not cede the shaping of our fate and our perception as a people, by relying solely on Google, MSN, and even nonprofit institutions, or well-meaning individuals to define us, as a people.
This in a sense, is the goal of "Kasaysayan: Philippine History". And, with our limited resources as a country and a people -- this project cannot succeed unless each and everyone of us will help in any way we can to realize this daunting goal come true.

***See notes in the introductory image ""The Philippine Islands 1493-1898" Edited by Blair and Robertson" for an explanation of the change in the scope of the series.
Worlds Largest Western Red Cedar. 178 feet tall, 19.4 feet in diameter. Shot a dozen or so different angles of it, but like this low one and another low one the best. You'll find the tree about 4 miles off Highway 101 on Nolan Creek Road. Near milepost 170 just North of Ruby Beach, watch for road N1000 on the east side of U.S. 101 and follow this road to a right fork onto N1100. Then turn right onto road N1112, and right again onto N112. Well marked and easy to find. 4WD was handy for the last 100 yards, but you can park at the turnaround and walk in I would guess. We were the only ones out here. The area was clear-cut less than thirty years ago. This tree was not cut, but the coastal weather has given this old tree quite a beating. No bark left and very little of it still grows.
