Fastnet Rock (Irish: An Charraig Aonair, meaning Rock of Solitude or Lonesome Rock) is a small clay-slate island with quartz veins and the most southerly point of Ireland, 6.5 km southwest of Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chléire) in County Cork, which is itself 13 km (8 miles) from the mainland. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean 11.3 km south of mainland County Cork, at latitude 51.37°N. It rises to about 30 m above low water mark. Study of the documentary record suggests that the name is from Old Norse Hvastann-ey 'sharp tooth island'.
Divided into Fastnet Rock proper and the much smaller Little Fastnet to the south by a 10 m (30 ft) wide channel, it also had the nickname 'Ireland's Teardrop' as it was the last part of the country seen by Irish emigrants to the United States in the 19th century as they sailed past it.

FASTNET ROCK
I write a logbook in this lighthouse,
Autumn waning, winter coming
Wind from the North
Gelid blowing;
Sun cloud-shadowed,
shortening days.
ships wave battered,
ploughing ocean,
And every night
migrant birds calling.
Spindrift sprayed.
The tower windows;
A time of change
That's my log.

there is something about this that i like
urgh, i have to stop playing with my photos and go to bed!
tonight kate, alex, tom and i made dinner and took it on a picnic to my green hill, it was raining and there was lightning and such but that made it more perfect.
we watched the fireworks from the show while on the hill,
and then decided to drive to the show and try to get in
but they wouldn't let us in for free (even though it was closing in like half an hour anyway)
so i poked my camera through the fence and took some photos
most of this night we spoke in scottish accents...... i dont know why.. aha

Canon 450D + CANON EF24-105 4L IS USM, @32mm, 1/60 sec, f/11, ISO 100
Tripod, Date 05/08/2010 7:47:00
Eran las 6:00 AM del 5/08/2010 cuando despertaba y tras vestirme raudo y veloz tomaba el coche y partía hacia Albarracín, en el camino al pasar por Calamocha (Conocido en España por ser uno de los lugares que marca mínimas en invierno, alguna vez los -25ºC), observe que el coche me daba una temperatura de 10ºC(baja para ser España en Agosto), había algo de bruma ya que el día anterior llovió por la tarde. Antes quise pasar por Peracense, donde hay un castillo muy particular por lo camuflado que queda con el entorno. Y puede realizar algunas fotos antes pasar por Albarracín (di una vuelta entera por los exteriores del castillo).
Imagen desde una de las rocas que se situan al lado del castillo. Panorama compuesto por dos tomas horizontales.
Peracense
Situación: La fortaleza de Peracense se halla colgada sobre un apartado risco de la sierra Menera, en el municipio de Peracense, a unos 45 kilómetros de Teruel.
Historia: El origen de este castillo no está nada claro. Según parece, por los restos arqueológicos hallados en sus proximidades, debió de ser la defensa de un pequeño poblado medieval, conocido por los lugareños como la Villeta, lugar del que procedería la imagen medieval de la Virgen con el Niño que se conserva en la iglesia parroquial de la localidad. Según información manejada por Cristóbal Guitart ya existía en 1284, pues fue utilizado por las tropas reales como punto de partida para la conquista de Albarracín. No obstante, también se han encontrado restos celtíberos y romanos, lo que da idea de lo ancestral de su origen. La fortaleza propiamente dicha, y que podemos ver hoy día, fue edificada hacia la primera mitad del siglo XIV para uso estrictamente militar.
A pesar de su situación, ya que se encuentra mucho más próximo a Teruel que a Daroca, y justo en el límite que durante la Edad Media separaba los territorios de ambas comunidades, el castillo de Peracense estaba administrado por alcaides nombrados por la comunidad darocense. El castillo se encuentra ubicado junto al monte o peña de San Ginés, todo un hito geográfico ya señalado al citar los límites espaciales de Teruel, comunidad que se forma con parte del territorio ya conquistado a los musulmanes por las tropas de Daroca, para que quede claro hasta dónde se extienden una y otra.
La construcción del castillo de Peracense, como la de otros castillos vecinos fue fruto de la rivalidad medieval entre los reinos de Castilla y Aragón. Su misión era la de controlar uno de los posibles puntos de acceso por los que las tropas castellanas podían penetrar en Aragón en momentos de conflicto, y evitar así su llegada a todo el Valle del Jiloca y a localidades tan importantes como Santa Eulalia, Villafranca, Monreal del Campo o la propia ciudad de Teruel. No obstante, parece que el acceso de las tropas castellanas podía hacerse desde otros puntos cercanos y de más difícil defensa, de manera que este castillo apenas fue atacado ni asediado.
Una de las razones de la relativa falta de uso de este castillo es que siempre se encontró adecuadamente protegido por otros elementos defensivos del entorno, por un lado la torre de planta rectangular que se levanta en el ya citado cerro de San Ginés, el principal punto de control visual por su ubicación en una elevación del terreno dentro de un entorno eminentemente llano, y por otro el castillo de Ródenas, un gran desconocido de la castellología que sin embargo le sirvió de pantalla protectora. La más clara prueba de ello es que del de Ródenas apenas quedan los restos de algún muro en la parte superior, mientras que en el de Peracense los restos han tenido siempre mayor importancia, aun antes de la reciente restauración. Como el castillo de Ródenas sí que pertenecía a la Comunidad de Teruel, se plantea otra posibilidad, que ambos castillos se mantuvieran para proteger las posesiones de sus respectivas comunidades ante posibles conflictos entre ellas, más que dedicarse a defender Aragón de la amenaza de incursiones por parte de los castellanos.
Como ya se ha dicho, no existen citas importantes que atestigüen asedios de este castillo por parte de tropas enemigas durante la Edad Media. Hay que esperar a los episodios bélicos de la primera guerra carlista para documentar de nuevo su utilización parcial.
Descripción: El castillo de Peracense se mimetiza con el paisaje de manera que parece formar parte de él como si de un fenómeno geológico se tratara. La forma que adquiere es la de un espolón de un barco varado en la montaña del que destaca la torre principal por su altura y rotundidad.
La fortaleza es de planta curadrada irregular, ocupa unos 4.000 metros cuadrados, se divide en tres recintos concéntricos y está situada sobre una escarpada peña, siendo inexpugnable por varios de sus flancos. El recinto interior es la plaza de armas, de unos 60 x 40 metros, y en ella se puede observar una especie de nichos que debieron ser utilizados para almacenar víveres y para que los guerreros se resguardasen del frío.
Sus laderas norte y este son inexpugnables, y en el sur y oeste se levantó una muralla en forma de ángulo recto de unos 3 metros de espesor, reforzada por tres torreones rectangulares.
La entrada al castillo es un estrecho portillo al borde del precipicio. Hay saeteras y subsisten bastantes almenas. Sólo queda la pared frontal de lo que fue la Torre del Homenaje.
English:
Peracense
Situation: Peracense's strength(fortress) is hung on an isolated crag of the saw Menera, in Peracense's municipality, to approximately 45 kilometres of Teruel.
History: The origin of this castle is not not clear at all. As it seems, for the archaeological remains found in his(her,your) proximities, it was necessary to to have been the defense of a small medieval settlement, known by the villagers as the Villeta, place from which the medieval image of the Virgin would come with the Child who remains in the parochial church of the locality. According to information handled by Christopher Guitart already it existed in 1284, since it was used by the royal troops as point of item for Albarracín's conquest. Nevertheless, also they have found Celtiberian and Roman remains, which gives idea of the ancient of your origin. The strength in strict sense, and that we can see today, was built towards the first half of the 14th century for strictly military use.
In spite of your situation, since he is much more near to Teruel than to Daroca, and I joust in the limit that during the Middle Ages was separating the territories of both communities, Peracense's castle was administered by wardens named by the community darocense. The castle is located close to the mount or San Ginés's rock, the whole geographical milestone already indicated on having mentioned the spatial limits of Teruel, community that is formed by part of the territory already conquered from the Muslims by Daroca's troops, in order that it(he) remains clear up to where there spread one and other one.
The construction of Peracense's castle, since that of other neighboring castles was a fruit of the medieval rivalry among the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. Your mission was it of controlling one of the possible points of access for which the Castilian troops could penetrate in Aragon in moments of conflict, and avoid this way his(her,your) arrival to the whole Valley of the Jiloca and to localities as important as Holy Eulalia, Villafranca, Monreal of the Field or the own city of Teruel. Nevertheless, it seems that the access of the Castilian troops could be done from other nearby points and of more difficult defense, so that this castle scarcely was attacked not besieged. One of the reasons of the relative mistake of use of this castle is that always was protected adequately by other defensive elements of the environment, on the one hand the tower of rectangular floor that gets up in San Ginés's already mentioned hill, the principal point of visual control for your location in an elevation of the area inside an eminently flat environment, and for other one the castle of Ródenas, a great stranger of the castellología who nevertheless used him as protective screen. The clearest test of it is that of that of Ródenas scarcely they stay the remains of some wall in the top part, whereas in that of Peracense the remains have had always major importance, even before the recent restoration. As Ródenas's castle yes that concerned to the Community of Teruel, Another possibility appears, that both castles were kept to protect the possessions of your respective communities before possible conflicts among them, more than to dedicate to defending Aragon of the threat of incursions on the part of the Castilians.
Since already it has been said, there do not exist important appointments that testify sieges of this castle on the part of enemy troops during the Middle Ages. It is necessary to wait to the warlike episodes of the first war Carlist to document again your partial utilization.
Description: Peracense's castle changes color with the landscape so that it seems to form a part of it as if about a geological phenomenon it was treating itself. The form that it acquires is that of a spur of a ship beached in the mountain of which the principal tower stands out for your height and rotundity.
The strength is of floor curadrada irregular, occupies approximately 4.000 square meters, divides in three concentric enclosures and is placed on a steep rock, being impregnable for several of your flanks. The interior enclosure is the square of weapon, of approximately 60 x 40 meters, and in it it is possible to observe a species of niches that they have should to be used to store provisions and in order that the warriors should protect themselves of the cold.
Your hillsides north and this sound impregnable, and in the south and west a wall got up in the shape of right angle of approximately 3 meters of thickness, reinforced by three rectangular towers.
The entry to the castle is a narrow gap at the edge of the precipice. It is saeteras and enough battlements survive. Only the frontal wall stays of what was the Torre del Homenaje.

Foto tomada en el final del cañón del río Lobos, justo donde nace el río Ucero.
Era domingo por la mañana, con bastante frío... y qué mejor que ir a la Ermita de San Bartolome de Ucero, claro con la nevada.. el camino estaba completamente blanco. Decir que no fui el único valiente que decidió caminar por la nieve, había bastantes paseantes. Primer paso fue dejar el coche a la entrada del cañón y subir andando, ya que la pista estaba completamente blanca e incluso helada en alguna zona.
Río Ucero: El río Ucero nace en el Manadero de "La Galiana", también llamado "Manantial de la Galiana", "Fuente de la Galiana" y "Nacedero del río Ucero", que se encuentra situado a la salida del Cañón del río Lobos.
El río Lobos, que nace en la provincia de Burgos, recoge las escorrentías y drenajes subterráneos de los materiales no permeables y de alguna pequeña fuente kárstica.
Al llegar a la Sierra de Cabrejas se encuentra con materiales calizos del Cretácico y se encaja en un angosto y magnífico cañón que se prolonga hasta el Nacedero del río Ucero.
Se estima que la velocidad del agua al recorrer el acuífero es baja, aproximadamente 10 kms. a la semana (60m/h). En el Nacedero el caudal medio es de 650 l/sg, la temperatura del agua de 10º C, y posee 8,3 cm3 de oxígeno disuelto por litro de agua.

Photo taken at the end of the river Lobos Cannyon at the point where the Ucero river springs up to life.
It was a cold Sunday morning ... and there was nothing better than hiking in the snow to the San Batolome de Ucero hermitage. The road was completely covered in snow. I wasn't the only brave one to venture in the snow though - there were a lot of other hikers around. First, I had to leave the car at the beginning of the cannyon and then climb up, since the road was clomplety covered in snow and even ice in some parts.
Ucero River: The source of the river is in "La Galiana", also known as "Manantial (spring) de la Galiana", "Fuente (foutain) de la Galiana" and "Nacedero (source) del río Ucero", and is located at the end of the Lobos river cannyon.
The Lobos river, which begins in the province of Burgos, sweeps non-permeable materials from the undercurrents and runoffs as well as some karstic debri.
When it runs trhough Sierra de Cabrejas, the river collects chalk sediments from the Cretaceous period and runs through a narrow but magnificent cannyon until it reaches the source of the Ucero river.
The speed of the water is estimated to be low, aprox. 10km per week (60m/h). The average flow at the source of the river is 650l/sec/, the temperature of the water, 10º C and contains 8,3 cm3 dissolved oxygen per litre of water.

Finally felt good enough to walk to the neighborhood park early this morning. And, as always, I had my camera in tow. It is amazing how I always come away from these early morning walks with deeper appreciation of things familiar - the sun rising over my neighborhood, the silhouettes of trees and rooftops, the ever elusive birds chirping about, the morning dew on the grass. I collect these memories and if I'm lucky, I capture some of them just as I see it. Here's one for sharing -- a moment filled with magic.
I hope you all are enjoying the 4th! And enjoy the rest of the weekend!

This is the intersection of the spillway with the Mississippi River. The spillway was opened this year due to the very high river levels to keep from flooding the New Orleans area,. Up river the Morgnza Spillway was also opened to relieve flooding of Baton Rouge and New Orleans. If they had not opened both spillways these cities and other nearby areas would have had massive flooding!!!! The Bonnet Carre' Spillway is now closed and mostly drained but the lower road has been damaged and repairs will soon be made. The Morganza Spillway was closed a few weeks ago.
It seems fairy lights give you a very unusual facial structure, all the photos looked so funny. I had to run outside at 11.30 when I got home after realizing the photos I'd initially taken hadn't worked out, sorry it's a rush job :( I seemed to spend the entire day sleeping, or streaming tv, it's been one of those miserable days when you don't feel like dealing with anything and sit round eating vast amounts of chocolate instead :P I've now run out of House, NCIS, Castle & How I Met Your Mother - it's traumatic! I have nothing left to watch, any suggestions of good stuff are very welcome.
Inspired by anyone with a love of fairy lights :)

For the first round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks I decided to build a little love letter to late nights and captivating books, a combination I would often be consumed by when I was younger. I hope you like it!
The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 92 bricks. It’s always great fun to work around those restrictions as it’s so different from most other contests, so of course I had to join.
Feel free to join this ongoing contest yourself! You can join each week for a different theme that needs to be built with 101 elements or less.
Thanks to Isaac for some help with the title!
Dedicated to my dear friend Mark aka Maloe4 for the lovely Testimonial he surprised me with. You're a real sweetie, my friend. I appreciate you! :)
A sunset from a trip a while ago. This was such a glorious day and a wonderful trip. I was born in this part of the Country so I guess a part of my heart will always be there.

Playa of Tengradin, Noja, Cantabria, Spain, 12th Oct 2012
In the photo tour in Cantabria the weather was definitely not on my side, especially in Noja where I had little chance to photograph because of the omnipresent rain.

"I could stay there for a lifetime"
Better days with brighter sunshines are coming. Everyone's "Woohoo !" !
- This title also tries to make a comparison between the ephemeral poppies, and our human condition, which is ephemeral as well, but in another way(s)... -
This afternoon, i came back home earlier than usual. After two fruitless hours in front off my tv, i decided to look out the window.
The weather was cloudy and we almost couldn't see the sun. I had to wait before going outside with my camera.
And there was not much to do inside. Actually i didn't really check out what i could do because i wanted to breathe some refreshing and sunny air, and maybe to take some pictures as well...
But i hoped this was not going to last long.
Twenty minutes later, without asking myself more questions, i opened the door and jumped outside.
Sometimes you easily become aware of things, habits you'd always like to live with... Your will can change everything without a lot of efforts.
I decided to ride my bike if ever the clouds would have liked to wring themselves.
Though despite that i put rain clothes into my bag, nothing happened.
In fact, i couldn't know that the bad weather that persisted this entire week was going to change into a beautiful and sunny afternoon allowing me to find my smile back.
At that moment of the day, when the sun suddenly appeared from behind the clouds now disapearing, i found a wheat field full of poppies. The first one this year !
I couldn't even dream of it !
The horizon was immense, i couldn't see anything but wheat, and wheat, and poppies... And the sun was wonderfully reflecting on the wheat dancing with the wind... The sun was not so hot on my skin, and sometimes the wind was a little cold. But it was an intense feeling, only the fact of being here, lost in the immensity.
I could stay there for a lifeftime.
I only stayed two hours, or more. I don't know. In fact i don't even remember.
I was feeling alive for the very first time this year :D

La Aljafería (en árabe: قصر الجعفرية Qasr al-Ya`fariyya) es un palacio fortificado construido en Zaragoza en la segunda mitad del siglo XI por iniciativa de Al-Muqtadir como residencia de los reyes hudíes de Saraqusta. Este palacio de recreo (llamado entonces «Qasr al-Surur» o Palacio de la Alegría) refleja el esplendor alcanzado por el reino taifa en el periodo de su máximo apogeo político y cultural.
Su importancia radica en que es el único testimonio conservado de un gran edificio de la arquitectura islámica hispana de la época de las Taifas. De modo que, si se conserva un magnífico ejemplo del Califato de Córdoba, su Mezquita (s. X), y otro del canto de cisne de la cultura islámica en Al-Ándalus, del s. XIV, La Alhambra de Granada, se debe incluir en la tríada de la arquitectura hispano-musulmana La Aljafería de Zaragoza (s. XI) como muestra de las realizaciones del arte taifa, época intermedia de reinos independientes anterior a la llegada de los almorávides.
Las soluciones adoptadas en la ornamentación de la Aljafería, como la utilización de arcos mixtilíneos y de los salmeres en «S», la extensión del ataurique calado en grandes superficies o la esquematización y abstracción progresiva de las yeserías de carácter vegetal, influyeron decisivamente en el arte almorávide y almohade tanto del Magreb como de la Península Ibérica. Asimismo, la transición de la decoración hacia motivos más geométricos está en la base del arte nazarí.
Tras la reconquista de Zaragoza en 1118 por Alfonso I El Batallador pasó a ser residencia de los reyes cristianos de Aragón, con lo que la Aljafería se convirtió en el principal foco difusor del mudéjar aragonés. Fue utilizada como residencia regia por Pedro IV el Ceremonioso y posteriormente, en la planta principal, se llevó a cabo la reforma que convirtió estas estancias en palacio de los Reyes Católicos en 1492. En 1593 experimentó otra reforma que la convertiría en fortaleza militar, primero según diseños renacentistas (que hoy se pueden observar en su entorno, foso y jardines) y más tarde como acuartelamiento de regimientos militares. Sufrió reformas continuas, y grandes desperfectos, sobre todo con los Sitios de Zaragoza de la Guerra de la Independencia hasta que finalmente fue restaurada en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y actualmente acoge las Cortes de Aragón.
En su origen la construcción se hizo extramuros de la muralla romana, en el llano de la saría o lugar donde los musulmanes desarrollaban los alardes militares conocido como La Almozara. Con la expansión urbana a través de los años, el edificio ha quedado dentro de la ciudad. Se ha podido respetar a su alrededor un pequeño entorno ajardinado que le aísla incluso de la autopista que pasa a escasos metros de allí.

The Aljafería Palace (Arabic:قصر الجعفرية Qasr Aljafariya, Spanish: Palacio de la Aljafería) is a fortified medieval Islamic palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Moorish taifa of Zaragoza of Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir after abolishing Banu Tujibi of Kindah dynasty. the palace reflects the splendor attained by the kingdom of the taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. The palace currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon.
The structure holds unique importance in that it is the only conserved testimony of a large building of Spanish Islamic architecture of the era of the Taifas (independent kingdoms).
After the capture of Zaragoza in 1118 by Alfonso I of Aragon, the Aljaferia became the residence of the Christian kings of the Kingdom of Aragon and as such was converted into the focal point for spread of the Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon. It was the birthplace of Saint Isabel of Portugal in the year 1271. It was used as the royal residence by Peter IV of Aragon and subsequently, on the principal building site, a renovation was carried out that converted these chambers into the palace of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. In 1593, the structure experienced another renovation that converted it into a military base, first according to Renaissance designs (which today can be observed in its moat and gardens) and later as military quarters. The building suffered continuous alterations and considerable imperfections, above all with the Siege of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War until it was finally restored in the second half of the 20th century and currently it houses the Cortes or autonomous community legislative assembly of Aragon.
In the original construction, extra ramparts were made in the open field surrounding the Aljaferia. With urban expansion over the years, the building has remained inside of the city. Yet the city of Zaragoza has not been able to honor the landscaped surroundings of the Aljaferia. A freeway passes only a few meters away.
Well I'm back! (After 33 gruelling hours in transit.) I will try and catch up with your photos over the next few weeks.
The Green Crested Lizard is 550mm in length, with a long hanging tail making up four fifths of its length. It has a jagged crest on its neck which more closely resemble hairs, as opposed to the crest of its close relative, B. cristatella, which more closely resembles the points on a crown. The crest consists of elongated scales, although it is flabby like skin.
