Went to Vestmannaeyjar last Friday and stayed there over the over the Weekend.
Vestmannaeyjar are an small archipelago just few km from the south shore of Iceland. People have lived in Vestmannaeyjar (specifically in Heimaey the largest island) since the first settlement in Iceland around 900.
In 1973 was an eruption in Heimaey and lava flowed over a part of the town and a big part got buried under ash.
The lava in the foreground came from the eruption in 1973. The two islands are Elliðaey (left) and Bjarnarey (right).
In the background you can see the south shore of Iceland.

Lanuza, Huesca (Spain).
I was driving on the road that borders the marsh, and I could not resist.
Iba yo conduciendo por la carretera que bordea el pantano, y no pude resistirme.
ENGLISH
Lanuza is a small village located in the Pyrenean of Huesca, Aragón, Spain. It is in the left border of the marsh to which it gives name, in that dam up waters of the Gállego river. Lanuza belongs to the municipal term of Sallent de Gállego, in the region of High Gállego.
The name of Lanuza seems to derive from the latinized celtic term moor or wool, that means “slope”, occurring the circumstance that the surrounding place to the town (today submerged) was in its day occupied by extensive prairies and grass. Its existence appears documented from 13th century and in 1488 already it counted on 20 homes. Along with Sallent, it formed one of the three historical "quiñones" in which the Valley of Tena was divided administratively.
Prosperously and eminently cattle dealer in her origins, the construction of the dam in 1976 caused the gradual and forced unhabitation of the locality until being vacated completely in 1978. Victim of plunder and the abandonment, in the decade of the 90 old inhabitants was able to recover the not submerged properties and initiate a revitalization process still active.

CASTELLANO
Lanuza es una pequeña localidad situada en el Pirineo oscense, Aragón, España. Se encuentra en la orilla izquierda del pantano al que da nombre, en el que se embalsan las aguas del río Gállego. Lanuza pertenece al término municipal de Sallent de Gállego, en la comarca del Alto Gállego.
El nombre de Lanuza parece derivar del término celta latinizado landa o lana, que significa "ladera", dándose la circunstancia de que el paraje circundante al pueblo (hoy sumergido) estuvo en su día ocupado por extensas praderas y pastos. Su existencia aparece documentada desde el siglo XIII y en 1488 ya contaba con 20 hogares. Junto con Sallent, formaba uno de los tres históricos quiñones en los que se dividía administrativamente el Valle de Tena.
Próspera y eminentemente ganadera en sus orígenes, la construcción del embalse en 1976 provocó el paulatino y forzado despoblamiento de la localidad hasta quedar completamente deshabitada en 1978. Víctima del expolio y el abandono, en la década de los 90 los antiguos moradores consiguieron recuperar las propiedades no sumergidas e iniciaron un proceso de revitalización que sigue activo.

NO HUGE GRAPHICS OR MULTIPLE INVITES IN YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE, NONE IS BETTER
Not everything in life is as we expect. There are times when nothing goes as planned, there are times when problems are the only ones we get. We even feel no one is closer to us and we feel so alone even in the crowd, thinking about the solutions for all the problems we have. We even dream about having a single solution which solves all our problems in a second, like pressing a remote button and the whole scenario changes and there is complete happiness around. But reality is brutal, it kind of makes us think about those problems till we are exhausted and down. But there is an interesting thing about these "problems". If we think the problem can be solved, why do we hurt ourself trying to solve it ourselves, or if we feel if it can never be solved, then why hurt ourselves thinking about something which never exists. No matter how down you are its upto you to put your heads up and walk across the problems or put your head down and hurt yourself thinking about them when life is fast moving away from you. Thanks for all your visits, comments and fav
எத்தனை முறை எண்ணிப்பார்த்தேனோ தெரியாது,
உயர்ந்துவிட்ட விலைவாசியைப்பற்றி,இன்று தண்ணீர் வருமா என்பதைப்பற்றி,
அலுவலகத்தில் நான் தொலைத்த குண்டூசிக்கெல்லாம் கணக்கு கேட்கும் மேலாளரைப் பற்றி,
கணக்கு சரியா புரியலப்பா என்று புலம்பும் என் மகனைப் பற்றி,
அவனுக்கு அந்த கணக்கதான் கொஞ்சம் சொல்லிக்குடுங்களேன் என்று கோபப்படும் என் மனைவியைப்பற்றி,
இப்படி எண்ணிப்பார்த்து எண்ணிப்பார்த்து விடைதேடும் என் எண்ணங்களில்,
நான் எவ்வளவோ தேடிப்பார்த்தும் என்னைக்காணவில்லை என்பதுதான் நிஜம்

Another from my trip to St. Michael's, Maryland. This was the pier at the house that we stayed at for the trip. The view we had was one of the reasons I fell in love with the area. The weather was perfect for our trip, not too humid. I just relaxed on the pier for hours enjoying the view.

El delegado gremial de la Línea B de subtes Claudio Dellacarbonara ratificó el paro total del servicio anunciado para el jueves 10/9/09, en el marco del plan de lucha para reclamar el reconocimiento oficial de un nuevo gremio para los trabajadores del sector.
"Esto es el inicio de un plan de lucha que no está centrado el reclamo salarial. El eje de la medida tiene que ver con el reconocimiento de la asociación gremial", remarcó el sindicalista al ser consultado esa mañana por Infobae.com.
Detalló que las protestas comenzarán mañana, miércoles 9/9/09, con la liberación de los molinetes, entre las 8 y 10, para que los pasajeros viajen sin pagar. Asimismo, el jueves 10/9/09 realizará un paro total entre las 12 y las 14.
Dellacarbonara denunció también que el acuerdo salarial que ayer formalizaron Metrovías y los representantes de la UTA no supera el 11 por ciento y advirtió que el sueldo mínimo se incrementó a 2.665 pesos y no 4.200 como anunció la empresa.
"Ellos toman una cifra que venimos percibiendo de manera no remunerativa y agregan otros ítems como el tema de la antigüedad. En realidad el aumento sobre los básicos es del 10 o el 11 por ciento", replicó.
Metrovías, concesionaria del servicio de subterráneos y el Premetro, anunció que acordó con la Unión Tranviarios Automotor (UTA) un aumento salarial del 21% por una jornada laboral de seis horas y una suma no remunerativa a abonarse en dos cuotas.
Conforme a este acuerdo, el sueldo de un conductor especializado se incrementará de $5.700 a $6.700. En el caso de un conductor, el sueldo aumentará de $5.600 a $6.300; el salario de un guarda pasará de $4.000 a $4.800 y el sueldo de un boletero, de $3.500 se incrementará a $4.200.
Con respecto a la suma no remunerativa, un conductor especial percibirá un total de $3.300, un conductor $3.100, un guarda $2.350 y un boletero $2.100.
"Metrovías y el gremio que agrupa al personal de subterráneos acordaron un 21% de mejora y un monto no remunerativo a abonarse en octubre y diciembre", aseguró la empresa en un comunicado.

Seasonal colours are at their best in Ballaglass Glen in this island. This was my last stop for this fall before I travel to North Western fells in the Lake district. Cascades of dark water on black slates with yellow leaves on the sides, a classic picture of autumn, cliched but enchanting as always!

Sturnus unicolor
El estornino negro (Sturnus unicolor) es un ave paseriforme de la familia de los estorninos, Sturnidae. Está estrechamente relacionado con el estornino pinto, pero tiene una distribución mucho más limitada y no es migratorio. Este estornino es residente de la península ibérica, noroeste de África, Sicilia, Córcega y Cerdeña.
Su color negro y característica silueta con sus cortos cuello y cola hacen su identificación sencilla con la única posibilidad de confusión durante el invierno, cuando los estorninos pintos también están en la misma región. Los estorninos negros en invierno tienen un color negro grisáceo ligeramente moteado aunque no tan abundante y marcado como el pinto. Aunque al llegar la primavera pierden todas las pequeñas motas y adquieren un plumaje más negro y más brillante que el del estornino pinto, en especial los machos. Las patas son rosadas y sus estrechos y puntiagudos picos tienen tonalidad amarilla, más intensa en los machos durante la temporada de cría. Los estorninos negros andan en lugar de brincar y tienen un vuelo fuerte y directo. En vuelo se pueden apreciar sus alas en forma triángular y su cola corta. Sus polluelos son de color marrón apagado y los juveniles son de color gris oscuro motedado muy similares a los del pinto.
El estornino negro se puede encontrar en cualquier lugar abierto, incluso dentro de los núcleos urbanos. Al igual que el estornino pinto esta especie es omnívora y se alimenta de invertebrados, bayas, etc. También es gregaria y forma bandadas grandes durante el invierno, aunque no tan grandes que las del estornino pinto. Es un ave ruidosa y puede imitar sonidos muy bien. Su canto es semejante al del estornino pinto pero es más claro y tiene un tono más alto.
Esta especie suele anidar en cavidades, que pueden ser un hueco en un árbol o agujeros en los edificios. Normalmente ponen cuatro huevos.

Hope you guys enjoy looking at them as much as I did!
Oh, and I'm on Adele kick these days. Enjoy the lyrics to another one of her songs!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found myself today singing out your name,
You said I'm crazy,
If I am I'm crazy for you.
Sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here
Turns me crazy,
But it's you who makes me lose my head.
And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible
You drift into my head
And turn me into a crumbling fool.
Tell me to run and I'll race,
If you want me to stop I'll freeze,
And if you are me gonna leave, just hold me closer baby,
And make me crazy for you.
Crazy for you.
Lately with this state I'm in I can't help myself but spin.
I wish you'd come over,
Send me spinning closer to you.
My oh my, how my blood boils, it's sweet taste for you,
Strips me down bare
And gets me into my favourite mood.
I keep on trying, fighting these feelings away,
But the more I do,
The crazier I turn into.
Pacing floors and opening doors,
Hoping you'll walk through
And save me boy,
Because I'm too crazy for you.
Crazy for you

El Neri y Bonacini Nembo GT.
El pequeño "Miura a escala" no entró en producción
1966 fue un año muy importante en la escena del coche deportivo italiano. El nuevo Lamborghini Miura representó una verdadera revolución y que sacudió a los principios técnicos de la época. El motor fue trasladado al centro del coche (detrás del conductor), siguiendo el diseño mecánico utilizado por los coches de Fórmula 1 que introdujo esta característica a finales de 1950. El Miura, sin embargo, tenía un motor montado transversalmente.
En realidad, el ATS 2500 GT y el De Tomaso Vallelunga fueron los primeros coches italianos con motor central, pero eran modelos poco comunes que se producen en pequeñas cantidades y que no influyen en el mercado como el Lamborghini.
Neri y Bonacini, dos expertos de coches deportivos.
El debut de Lamborghini Miura inspiró un nuevo coche deportivo con características similares, pero a pequeña escala. Alguien dijo igual que un "pequeño Miura", ...
Los hombres detrás del proyecto fueron conocidos personalidades del mundo deportivo: Giorgio Neri y Bonacini Luciano.
Ambos eran ex trabajadores de la escudería Maserati y establecieron un centro de proyectos, Carrozzeria Neri y Bonacini. Ellos estaban acostumbrados a trabajar en los coches exóticos como el Ferrari 250 Breadvan que corrió por la Scuderia Serenissima o el Strale Daytona 6000 GT, un solo ejemplar esta vez sobre la base de la Iso Rivolta GT encargado por un concesionario de automóviles de lujo.
Después de pasar años trabajando para otras fábricas, en 1966 Neri y Bonacini trataron de construir un coche nuevo que se vende con su marca registrada Nembo, una especie de acrónimo de los apellidos. La principal característica del nuevo coche es el diseño del motor, ya que tienen las nuevas tendencias técnicas.
La década de 1960 fueron la época dorada de los coches deportivos italianos - las cosas cambiaron drásticamente después de la crisis del petróleo 1973 - así Neri y Bonacini asumieron que un pequeño GranTurismo fue un coche éxito y se desarrolló en el Nembo GT.
Chasis estrenar y motor boxer Lancia Flavia
El Nembo GT tenía un chasis monocasco emparejado con el frente y chasis de bastidor auxiliar trasero. La carrocería estaba hecha de aluminio y tenía algunas semejanzas con otros coches. Fue muy probablemente inspirado en el Miura, sobre todo en la parte trasera: los guardabarros, la ventana trasera y la rejilla negra en el panel trasero fue muy cerca de la Lamborghini.
Por otro lado, el Nembo GT podría ser anterior algunos de los rasgos estilísticos de la AMC AMX / 3, un prototipo 1970 auto deportivo americano que no pasó en la producción. Después de todo, el nuevo coche italiano tenía buena pinta, una excepción de la larga distancia entre ejes, que parecía un poco fuera de proporción.
Una de las características más específicas de la Nembo GT fue el motor. Neri y Bonacini eligieron el boxeador de 4 cilindros del Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato. Equipado con carburadores dobles, tenía una potencia máxima de 105 CV. Gracias a su bajo peso (menos de 1800 libras), el coche tenía impresionantes funciones y una velocidad máxima de 125 mph.
El motor boxer permite un centro de gravedad más bajo y podemos suponer que el coche tenía un muy buen manejo. El Lancia Flavia era un coche de tracción delantera con motor longitudinal, por lo tanto, los semiejes directamente exactos la misma longitud. Así que el motor simplemente estaba instalado en el centro del coche sin grandes modificaciones, la caja de cambios se orientó hacia la parte trasera.
Sólo dos coches se construyeron como prototipos
El primer Nembo GT era un coche de pruebas y tenía solo ajuste esencial. La carrocería no tenía la pintura, con paneles de aluminio desnudos.
Este coche tenía faros colocados en la parrilla delantera. Las luces traseras eran muy grandes, pero probablemente fueron compuestas por muchas pequeñas luces colocadas de lado a lado. En ambos casos, el fabricante puede tener muchas piezas producidas en serie, fácil de encontrar y de bajo costo.
El segundo coche recibió algunas mejoras y fue un poco más cómodo, casi listo para una pequeña producción en serie. El habitáculo parecía bastante simple, pero el equipamiento de la serie del coche ofreció una radio con un altavoz entre los asientos y el suelo estaba cubierto de moqueta.
También la carrocería fue mejorada y ahora el coche tenía los faros delanteros emergentes, mientras que las luces traseras eran las mismas que utilizaba el sedán Alfa Romeo Giulia, fácilmente adaptable y disponible como repuestos comunes.
Sólo la pintura era extraña: el segundo Nembo GT tuvo una librea roja con demasiadas rayas decorativas y umbrales de las puertas negras.
Además de la pintura cuestionable, el Nembo GT cumplió con todos los requisitos para convertirse en un coche de producción regular y el suministro de motores para el tema principal. Al principio parecía solo una formalidad, pero se convirtió en la razón de que fallara la fabricación en serie Nembo GT.
Lancia no estaba de acuerdo para suministrar el motor Flavia, por lo que Neri y Bonacini dejaron su trabajo porque era un obstáculo insuperable para un pequeño fabricante de este tipo. Su sueño de construir un coche deportivo terminado y la planta de carrocería cerró poco después.
Neri fue a la fábrica Piero Drogo, mientras que Bonacini se trasladó a De Tomaso.
Un proyecto muy interesante que se truncó demasiado pronto
Las razones por las que Lancia rechazo abastecer el proyecto no eran claras. Podemos suponer que la petición de Neri y Bonacini llegó en el momento equivocado: Lancia estaba en un punto de inflexión y solo dos años más tarde fue adquirida por Fiat. Probablemente, la decisión no fue influenciada por razones de mercadotecnia, ya que un coche deportivo hecho en pequeñas cantidades no podría ser un competidor para los coches Lancia.
Tanto el Nembo GT todavía existe hoy y que no fueron tan difíciles o desecharse, con los años, pero fue un triste final para un coche con un gran potencial.
Curiosamente, Neri y Bonacini encontraron una circunstancia similar a pocos años antes. En 1964 se diseñó el chasis de bastidor para el Cóndor Aguzzoli, un deportivo con motor central equipado con el motor de Alfa Romeo Giulietta, que era muy avanzado para la época.
Éramos grandes expectativas para este coche y entramos en algunas carreras impulsadas por conductores expertos como Ernesto "Tino" Brambilla, uno de los protagonistas del campeonato de F3 italiana muy competitivo. Los propietarios contaban con la ayuda técnica de la propia Alfa Romeo, pero el fabricante Milanese estaba ocupado con el desarrollo Giulia TZ. A pesar del potencial, la producción Cóndor se detuvo después de solo dos coches. Tres años más tarde, fue el mismo para el Nembo GT.

Eine seltene Ansicht, wo der Theaterplatz noch als solcher bezeichnet ist, aber schon mit Nazifahne zu sehen ist, denn schon bald nach deren Machtübernahme wurde er in Adolf-Hitler-Platz umbenannt. Die Postkarte ist 1931 gelaufen und zeigt, daß das Hansa-Haus (heute Standort des Hotel Moskau) bereits Jahre vor Hitlers Machtantritt von den Braunen "infiziert" war (NSDAP-Kreisleitung). Zunächst hatten sie versucht, sich im Chemnitzer Hof breit zu machen, doch das konnte die Hotel-Leitung noch abwiegeln. Wie durch eine höhere Vorsehung wurde das an sich sehr attraktive Hansa-Haus in dem von Hitler begonnenen Krieg zerstört, während der Chemnitzer Hof erhalten blieb. Das Eckhaus links daneben auf der anderen Straßenseite befindet sich auf dem Areal, wo später das Gebäude mit der Humboldt-Buchhandlung entstand.

Abriéndose en densos racimos Woronichinia parece explotar levitando sobre el Duero, silenciosa y contundente, germinando en lenta corriente acurrucada en el agua, y abrazada por el sol. Pasajeras como nubes gruesas mecidas por un soplo cálido sus corales blandos se abren amasados el río, racimos de vida jugosa que adornan con alegría la oscuridad de las aguas turbias que el hombre descuidó y que la Naturaleza con generosidad desbordante repara siempre en belleza, alegre, infatigable, hoy en hermosas flores de agua.
Woronichinia es un género de cianobacterias nativo de Europa y Norteamérica creado por Alexander Elenkin en el primer tercio del siglo XX en homenaje del botánico, micólogo, algólogo y explorador ruso Nikolai Woronichin.
Incluido dentro de la familia de las Coelosphaeriaceae, sus colonias recuerdan a las de Microcystis mucho más común y problemática cuando se quiere utilizar el agua como recurso potable o con fines recreativos debido las potentes toxinas que sintetiza y de las que parece que Woronichinia está libre, aunque como ella siempre aparece también en medios eutróficos.
Woronichinia naegeliana es también conocida como "Coelosphaerium naegelianum" en cuyo género ha estado incluida hasta hace poco. Forma densas colonias gelatinosas de color verde oscuro o verde azulado que presentan muy variados contornos, aunque casi siempre redondeados o lobulados y compactos, de hasta 200 m de diámetro.
Las células, de contorno ovalado, casi el doble de largas que anchas, pueden llegar a alcanzar hasta las 8 m de longitud, y presentan gran cantidad de vacuolas gaseosas. Todas ellas están sujetas a la estructura colonial por un corto pedúnculo gelatinoso y no bien definido, imitando a un racimo que se abre en abanico en su conjunto.
El crecimiento en masa de las cianobacterias, que como ésta generalmente proliferan en medios eutróficos, se ve favorecido por las elevadas temperaturas del agua, pero no se daría si en el agua no estuvieran presentes los nutrientes que necesita para desarrollarse, y especialmente el fósforo.
Los florecimientos de cianobacterias de Woronichinia naegeliana y otras especies como Microcystis aeruginosa o Anabaena flos-aquae suelen estar asociados a medios acuáticos en los que existe un elevado contenido de fósforo procedente de la escorrentía que afecta a terrenos agrícolas abonados con compuestos de fósforo, pero también, en algún caso, como ocurre en Microcystis por el glifosato, a pesar de que las altas concentraciones de este compuesto puedan inhibir su crecimiento.
La Naturaleza siempre tan generosa devuelve con frecuencia en vida y belleza nuestras agresiones. Ojala poco a poco sintamos la necesidad de cuidar a nuestros ríos como si fuesen un jardín limpio y no un simple recurso para regar, producir electricidad o el desagüe discreto por el que deshacernos de nuestros desechos.

View Large and on Black. Looks more like a painting, less like a photo. It's supposed to look like a painting, and "over processed".
Watch out, because she's gunna get you. Ok folks, here you go: The first of two insane edits, edited with Corel Painter 9.5. I was going for the "painting" effect. I'm very proud. I think It turned out amazing. If anyone wants to see the originals let me know. Also, my bone structure an everything like that: Not edited. I really do have those type of cheeks, and those lips, and that shaped nose, and those shaped eyes. I just don't have the light green irises, the platinum hair, or the flawless skin. Unfortunately...
Also, this is my alter ego. I really feel if I cracked my personal shell, I would be this daring, dangerous little kitten. Too bad, because that's just my Ideal. I'm far too happy-go-lucky/ real person to pull this off. Oh, only in my dreams. At least I can look it for now. That's the best part about photography: You can just be YOU.
After some comments: I would really like to know how people can rave about photos that are so over processed, like HDR photos, and other 'shopped photos, but when it comes to a photo turned painting (mind you a majority digital artists works this way) or EVERY edit of some woman, gets so much crap. How is adding a dosage of fantasy so horrible in comparison to the extreme edits of fashion photograph? I guess I'm beginning to rant, but I honestly do appreciate the opinions. I just wish people would approach this from a digital artist's P.O.V. rather than a photographers. And by digital artist I don't mean someone who does post processing, and editing, I'm talking about someone who creates art from a photo. What ever though.
PS: When rating photos, don't put something like ':) I like!' with a rating of 4/10. Just an example. It not only pisses me off, but it pisses off EVERYONE who gets ratings like that.
La, la, la. Sorry for the rant, I'm in a pissy mood...
Anyways I was going for something a little elf/ fairy/ nymph ish.
Here is the original. It was dusk out, so I just used the built in flash.

Rizal Park is situated in the heart of the city of Manila, Philippines. It is at the northern end of Roxas Boulevard, overlooking Manila Bay.
Rizal Park's history began in the early 1700s during the Spanish rule. While Manila's social and business activities were confined within Intramuros, a small area just south of the walls was cleared to prevent sneak attacks from the patriotic natives. The area was shaped like a small moon (lunette) and thus was named Luneta. The Park was also called Bagumbayan (English: New Town) in Spanish colonial era, and later known as Luneta.
Luneta has been the site of some of the most significant moments in Philippine history . Among them are the execution of Dr. José Rizal on December 30, 1896, whose martyred death made him a hero of the Philippine Revolution. (It was officially renamed Rizal Park in tribute to him.); the Declaration of Philippine Independence from American rule on June 4, 1946; and the political rallies of Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino in 1986.
The monument also serves as the point of origin or Kilometre Zero to all other cities in the Philippines

A lot of people have asked what comes next.
The answer? We don't know any better than you do.
I know that I met this amazing, funny, sweet person, and I'm completely wild over her. That I've had her in every minute of my life for the last week, and that every minute felt right. And that tomorrow everything changes.
After that?
I really can't say. I wish I knew. Really, we're taking it minute by minute and sometimes it feels like we're spinning out of control.
We say our strange goodbyes and go back to phonecalls and webcams - the technologies that once seemed fresh and exciting are a step backward; a step apart. It's going to be hard. I know that much.
I'm hoping a California trip is in the cards.
But I can only see as far as Monday. School begins. Xelia will be gone. We're left with memories and marks; a cold spot in the bed where someone is missing.
View On Black for the pleasur of eyes :o)
It was forbiden to use camera during the concert, so I could shot only with my camera hiden just a few images without using the flash.
Interdiction de prendre des photos, j'ai réussi quelques unes en les prenant en cachette sans user le flash.
La Folle Journée or the Follies of a Day :
La Folle Journée is a French annual classical music festival held in Nantes. It is the largest classical music festival in France.
The festival's name refers to the Pierre Beaumarchais play The Marriage of Figaro, whose alternative title is La Folle Journée ("The Follies of a Day").
René Martin founded the La Folle Journée festival in 1995, with the intention of presenting short classical music concerts for diverse audience, on one day. The primary venue at the time was the Cité des congrès de Nantes. Since its founding, the festival has expanded to cover 5 days of events. Each year focuses on a theme, initially on composers such as Mozart (1995) and Beethoven (1996), but since expanding to encompass subjects such as Tolstoy's Ivan Ilyich (2001).
The festival has expanded to other cities in Pays de la Loire, including Challans, Cholet, Fontenay-le-Comte, La Roche-sur-Yon, La Flèche, Sablé-sur-Sarthe, Saint Nazaire, Saumur, L'Île-d'Yeu and Fontevraud-l'Abbaye. Other cities have developed their own festivals based on the format of La Folle Journée, including Madrid, Bilbao, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro.
La Folle Journée est un festival de musique classique à thème organisé annuellement à Nantes, fin janvier ou début février, du mercredi au dimanche. Chaque année, une période précise de l'histoire de la musique ou un compositeur et son entourage est mis en exergue dans les quelques 250 concerts proposés en moyenne. Créée en 1995, La Folle Journée connaît un succès grandissant, s'étendant sur la région des Pays de la Loire et s'exportant à Bilbao, Lisbonne, Tokyo ou Rio de Janeiro.
2010: Frédéric Chopin for the bicentennial of his birth - the Mad Day exported elsewhere at Warsaw - and Franz Liszt
First try on close up macro shot. I don't have a macro lens, just using a cheap $25 pack of three close up filter on the Tamron 17-50 F2.8 VC. The result isn't too bad especially for just $25 investment! But I'm thinking to get a real macro lens now.......
You can also find me @ Facebook too.
It had been snowing all along the west side of Lake Tahoe, so we decide to go north to test our luck. We rounded the north shore and into Nevada, and the storm clouds were everywhere. At that time we payed the $4 to park at Sand Harbor and checkout out all the spots.
We settled on the North-West facing cove that everyone photographs. This area has SO many options for photos. Which is great for numerous reasons. First,you do not have to battle royale over compositions while the light is good (Jim and I seem to always have to roshambo for comps). Second, your photo friends do not have to be in your photo.
We both strolled out with wading boots and began to play. Wading boots/waders are a must for this site, especially if you do not want to fall in.
You will see numerous sand harbor photos littering my photo stream over the next few weeks, can't help it... that afternoon was that good. All are long exposures, done in mid day.

Newsweek: Obama better represents Catholics than does the Pope
WSJ: Unemployment Up from 4.8% to currently 9.5% (20% in MI) and expected to rise
Obama flies pizza chef to Washington, DC from St. Louis to cater a party for him and his pals at White House.
Obama: "We are out of money"
Obama: "Its Working"
Facts: Government has nationalized AIG, Chrysler, GM, Citibank and has its eyes set on Health Care
This administration and congress has already outspent all previous 43 presidents combined
"Stimulus" is spent on bailing out failed social experiments and entitlement sinkholes by state governments controlled by "progressives"
House passes largest Tax Increase in the History of America - they aim to tax the air we breathe
Charitable donation levels and business investments down as tax levels increase
Obamas plan vacation at Martha's Vineyard
Obama promised unemployment would not exceed 8% - now its 9.5% and rising
Obama said it was mandatory that the 10 to 20 trillion dollar (with debt servicing) "stimulus" was passed right away or we are doomed - it was voted on and passed without those voting in the affirmative for it even reading it.
Once passed, the vast majority of the "stimulus" spending is deferred to 2010 which coincidentally is an election year for the politicians who voted for passage. An inference is that the only crisis was the socialists getting reelected after their policy of fascism failed to turn around the economy. A study of history will reveal their concern - no fascist/socialist enterprise has been successful at improving the quality of life for its citizens at any time in human history. No civilization has successfully taxed and spent its way out of a recession in the history of humanity.
Those who hold America's debt are frantically calling for a "world currency", knowing full well, that the certain forthcoming hyperinflation in America will significantly devalue the US Dollar and their investments will then be worth pennies on the dollar.
Now, Obama says that health care must be nationalized right away or we are doomed.
Now, Obama says that Sotomayor must be confirmed right away or we are doomed.
Now, Obama says that Cap and Trade (destroy and nationalize the energy sector) bill must be passed right away or we are doomed.
Now, Obama says that trillions of dollars of new taxes must be passed right away or we are doomed. These new taxes are on top of the trillions of dollars in new taxes that were already included in his "stimulus" bill and budget.
Is there a pattern? Does "we" refer to his constituents or perhaps himself and his political cronies?
No civilization has reversed a downward unemployment spiral by shrinking its private sector and growing its government bureaucracy.
The countries who have tried the fascist/socialist experiment are now moving back to more capitialistic free market policies - why? because shrinking their private sector and burdening it with increased government confiscatory/redistribution policies created misery in the form of unemployment, loss of individual freedom, lower quality of life and medical care rationing, shortages and misery.
Biden: We have to keep spending money to keep from going bankrupt.
Obama: We must pass nationalized health care so we can reduce costs. (We must do it now or we are doomed)
CBO Chief: Health Bills To Increase Federal Costs
White House wants more power to set Medicare rates
wiki.answers.com/Q/Name_and_explain_two_effects_of_price_...
When thinking about price controls, think of the supply and demand curves and remember that with a price control, it is impossible for a price to get into equilibrium. With that in mind, we can identify two problems that result from this.
1. A shortage/oversupply of the good. If there is a price ceiling, you have a shortage (a la gasoline during the price controls of the 70's.) If there is a floor, you have overproduction (a la ethanol. Which, granted, is subsidized, but that is effectively like a price floor). *Note* also consider the housing markets where rent control is present.
2. An inefficient allocation of resources. With ethanol being subsidized, we witnessed a massive increase in the price of corn. The market did not want this, and thus we saw an inefficient allocation of resources.
Should National Health Care pass in this country, I will not know where or when I will die, but I will know how - substandard medical care, denial of care, lack of r&d due to price controls and rationing emposed by the government - all based on decisions by bureaucrats, actuaries, accountants and political appointees who I do not know and who do not know me or my specific needs or wishes ... and more importantly do not care ... they care only about passing the next government audit cycle for cost control.

Noche sin luna, ausencia de nubes y mi amiga Carmen y un servidor después de una copita en casa nos lanzamos al ataque fotográfico.
Encuadro, calculo exposición, decido la iluminación y venga, una toma de 40 minutos bien. Hasta aquí todo bien, no?
Pues a los 20 minutos mi querida amiga se cansa y decide cambiar el encuadre a lo que yo le aviso por activo y por pasivo: "Carmen, cuidado con el trípode que le vas a dar al mío". Pues ale, dos golpes!!!!!!!!
No pasa nada. Corto y empiezo otra vez.
Nos alejamos unos 20 metros de mi cámara para hacer fotos con la suya y cuando llevamos más de media hora de exposición.... ZAS! Guardia Civil con más luces que una feria.
El Sr. Agente muy amable pregunta que qué hacemos y yo apunto de matarlo le digo muy amablemente también que disfrutamos de la noche haciendo fotografías y que me ha estropeado la que estaba haciendo.... jeje
El pobre me pidió disculpas. En fin, mejor estas visitas que no otras de indeseados.

Melaleuca citrina or Callistemon citrinus is a shrub growing to 5 m (20 ft) tall but more usually in the range 1–3 m (3–10 ft) high and wide. It has hard, fibrous or papery bark and its young growth is usually covered with soft, silky hairs. Its leaves are arranged alternately and are 26–99 mm (1–4 in) long, 4–25 mm (0.2–1 in) wide, hard, flat, narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end near the base and with a pointed but not sharp end. There are between 7 and 26 branching veins clearly visible on both ides of the leaves and a large number of distinct oil glands visible on both surfaces of the leaves.
The flowers are red and arranged in spikes on the ends of branches which continue to grow after flowering and sometimes also in the upper leaf axils. The spikes are up to 45–70 mm (2–3 in) in diameter and 60–100 mm (2–4 in) long with up to 80 individual flowers. The petals are 3.9–5.8 mm (0.15–0.23 in) long and fall off as the flower ages. There are 30 to 45 stamens in each flower, with their "stalks" (the filaments) red and "tips" (the anthers) purple.

Thank you so much dear friends from Claire & myself for your visits, lovely comments, and invites!! You are most kind and we greatly appreciate it. (A note to early visitors, the font has been changed on this image from the original).
a rare, quiet and calm moment captured of caesar just a few moments ago..usually during the day he's so full of energy and just wants to play fetch with his soccer ball and while i got a bunch of shots of him trying to catch a ball in the backyard, those looked boring and plain to me. they show off his physical abilities but i wanted to show his softer, more gentle side.
it took a few minutes to get him to lay like this..the treat i had in my one hand initially made him even more excited but i waited it out and it paid off...if there's one thing this dog teaches me, it's patience. i do love him for that as well as the incredible companionship he provides us all.
technically, someone had asked me about my indoor shots and while i'm not really great at using my (external) flash..i have figured out that bouncing it over and behind my head works best..i shoot with the camera on manual as well as the flash, that way i can take a few test shots then adjust +/- a few stops if need be.
The Struggle
by Begary
Have you ever traveled down a road to find there was no end
For every corner that you turned there was another bend
The faster that you walked, the longer that it seemed
And you were all alone, in this crazy dream
Crazy dreams that you dream alone
When the lights go out and no one's home
You see the day for what it's been
And you wish to God you could stay clean
The morning brings you to the road you didn't want to travel
and every step you take again makes your life unravel
You keep on walking down the path, wondering what you'll find,
and pray that when you find it you wont have lost your mind
It's halfway through another day and you're looking for those dreams
knowing they can make your life better than it seems
If only to forget your pain for a little while
you can travel down the road just another mile
The night is now upon you, the miles are on your face,
But you keep going forward to your final place.
You know the end is coming soon, you see it straight ahead
And if they don't forget you, you never will be dead

Stained glass windows by Károly Kernstok (Budapest, 1873 - 1940)
www.google.hu/search?q=kernstok+k%C3%A1roly&hl=hu&...
One of Hungary's most influential early twentieth century artists, Karoly Kernstok first studied painting techniques at the Budapest School of Design. He then went to Munich in 1892 to study under Simon Hollosy. Karoly Kernstok concluded his formal education at the Academie Julian, Paris, from 1893 to 1895 and at Benczur's School, Budapest, from 1896 to 1899. Kernstok's first major exhibitions took place in Budapest in 1897. Three years later one of his paintings was awarded a bronze medal at the Universal Exposition in the United States.
Karoly Kernstok's initial works were figure studies and genre depictions, largely in the vein of Hungarian turn-of-the-century early social realist painting. By 1906, however, his art began exploring stylized elements and postimpressionist techniques, and thus he became a leading exponent of modernism. In 1910, Karoly Kernstok was a founding member of the Nyolcak (Group of Eight) painters. Briefly this important movement advocated expressionism and an emphasis upon the body within space. It drew upon such divergent forms as Art Nouveau, Fauvism and native Hungarian art forms. The Nyolcak was also somewhat political and, through the art of its participants, attempted to move Habsburg Hungary toward a democratic republic. Karoly Kernstok's 1910 painting, Riders on the Shore, became a major catalyst for the art of Nyolcak (Group of Eight). During this period, Karoly Kernstok designed and painted major frescoes and glass windows for the Schiffer-villa (1911) and the County Hall, Debrecen.
Karoly Kernstok moved to Berlin in 1919. He both lived and exhibited in that city until his 1926 return to Hungary. For the following fourteen years the artist continued to paint and etch major works of art, often exploring and incorporating elements of ancient Etruscan art. As well, Karoly Kernstok established an art school in the Nyergesújfalu region of Hungary.
Today the art of Karoly Kernstok is found in most major Hungarian collections, including the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest
Kernstok Károlyról (Ady csodálatos versével):
Taken from the garage of my Sister's home in Virginia Beach. A lot of thunder and lightning, and all I was able to get is this one shot. I definitely missed out on a few potential winners. Any hesitation equates to a miss. I'll be better prepared next lightning storm... I hope. That said, I'll take this one... it's my best so far.

It never ceases to amaze me how much flotsam and jetsam is washed up on the beach after a stormy/windy day.
Some of it is the sort of stuff you would want to see - wonderfully twisted pieces of wood weathered into soft and subtle hues. Great piles of seaweed studded with thousands of shells glittering in the sunlight.
Then there's the other stuff ...
Plastic bottles in their hundreds, some containing liquid of indeterminate origin. Shoes in their dozens. Tangled masses of man-made fishing net. Oil drums. Plastic crates. The list is endless ...
But this had to be one of the strangest things I have ever found ...
Somewhere in a land bordering the Atlantic ocean there is a farmer with a three wheeled tractor wondering where his wheel went. Well I can tell him, because I found it ...
Fully five feet tall with a seemingly unworn tyre. [Probably released from a container washed from a ship ... someone I know who works in the shipping industry once told me that most container ships lose at least one container each trip ...]
Someone had found it before me [down at the less visited end of the beach, near the Ministry of Defence firing range ... who says I don't live in an idyllic part of the world!] and had been rolling the wheel along the beach and had left it standing upright on the sand.
Made for an interesting photo though!

Back in November 2012 I finally saw Madama Butterfly, my all time favourite opera, live. There were evidently a few in the audience who had never seen it or even know of the story - during the applause for the performers, the singer who had the role of B.F. Pinkerton was heckled. In jest, ofcourse.
Then I got to thinking why it is that I like this opera so much. Why do I gravitate towards heart shattering "love" stories where the heroine almost invariably dies (mortally or spiritually) for a man who, on reflection, can more or less be described as the embodiment of fluff... read: Swan Lake (my favourite ballet), The Little Mermaid (the original Hans Christian Andersen story that i first read as a child, not the Disney-ised crap).... Is it because in mortal or spiritual death I can believe that the purity of these heroines' love is preserved?
B.F. Pinkerton offered Cio Cio San nothing but a fog of unreal romance - petals, bubbles, rainbows, glitter... promises of forever, undying love, integrity, songs, poetry... beautiful but fleeting and ultimately insincere.
Why do lesser men, with sweet tongues but with false hearts, attract such extreme devotion and sacrifice? Lately I've been wishing that Cio Cio San had a chance to exact vengeance on Pinkerton...
You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
And, every whisper, it's the worst, emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now
So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing
It isn't easy for me to let it go
Cause
I've swallowed every single word
And
Every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now
So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing
And it's not enough
To tell me that you care
When, we both know the words are empty air
You give me nothing
Man how I loathe doing HDR work. My eyes and brain know it's not natural, and my tendency is to edit them into oblivion and make them look non HDR. I had to force myself away from it this time.
This image would be impossible to expose without HDR. I didn't actually meter the difference between outside light and what it was inside the cave, but I'm betting it was about 7 - 9 stops difference at the brightest to darkest.
I hate trying to get colors balanced and what not.
Anyway. This is a stitch of 13 HDR images (from a total of 39 RAWs), shot in 3 rows of 4 (plus one straggler somewhere).
I can't wait to get a panoramic head for my tripod. That'll make these things so much better. Autopano was having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to stitch it. It still has some defects. Oh well. It just gives me an excuse to go back :)
This old little station is called "Halte Royal d'Ardenne" and was build in 1874 by King Leopold II.
The castle at the top of the hill, right above the station, was reconverted to a hotel for the rich and famous. King Leopold II wanted this place to be the touristic heart of Belgium.
During WWI the hotel was badly damaged and the station was closed off in 1919. A couple of years later the hotel was reopened, but station remained closed.
The hotel was demolished during the 1970's.
When we arrived here, we thought we'd be the only ones here. To our surprise there was a tent in the middle with two people. They were probably more surprised then we. Not much later a familly came to make a bonfire and bbq. They brought there kids and dogs. Even a couple of axes to chop down trees on the hill for the fire. After they left around 1 in the morning we went to sleep under the stars.
I sort of wake up, because i don't know what's happening around me. Flashlights are waving, people are yelling. What the hell is going on. And then.....out of the blue.....there's music. Loud music and even laserbeams. A group of locals brought a aggregate, cables, laptop and laser unit to do a rave party at 4.30 in the morning.
a wonderful experience all together.

Vi consiglio la visione in grande!!!
Veduta parziale della parte meridionale della citta di Cagliari su cui domina il forte di S. Ignazio.
Sul colle di sant'Elia a 94 metri s.l.m. sorge il fortino di S. Ignazio, un'imponente opera militare del XVIII secolo rimasta incompiuta. Ha una singolare forma a stella, ispirata alle idee del Vauban, famoso architetto militare del XVII secolo, fu costruita con un progetto del capitano Franco Lorenzo, dopo un primo impianto realizzato dal marchese Vivaldi Pasqua. Dopo l'attacco francese alla ciità di Cagliari del 1793, il forte ebbe un periodo di tranquillità e venne disattivato nel 1801. Nel 1804 divenne una succursale del Lazzaretto, non avendo più, quest'ultimo, spazi sufficienti. Fu riutilizzato militarmente, durante l'ultima guerra, con l'impianto di un aerofono, gestito da una stazione di soldati ciechi, incaricati di ascoltare l'arrivo di aerei nemici.
Chiedo scusa se vi starò annoiando con le foto della mia città, ma la mia è una sfacciata propaganda in vista del Raduno Nazionale Flickr che si terrà a Cagliari il 14/15/16 maggio 2010.

Ferrari Testarossa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Ferrari Testarossa (Type F110) is a 12-cylinder mid-engine sports car manufactured by Ferrari, which went into production in 1984 as the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer.
The Pininfarina-designed car was originally produced from 1984 to 1991, with two model revisions following the ending of Testarossa production and the introduction of the 512 TR and F512 M which were produced from 1992 to 1996.
Almost 10,000 Testarossas, 512 TRs, and F512 Ms were produced, making it one of the most-produced Ferrari models, despite its high price and exotic design.
In 1995, the F512 M retailed for $220,000 (£136,500)."
"The Testarossa is a two-door coupé that premiered at the 1984 Paris Auto Show.
All versions of the Testarossa had the power fed through the wheels from a rear-mounted, five-speed manual transmission. The rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout (engine between the axles but behind the cabin) keeps the centre of gravity in the middle of the car, which increases stability and improves the car's cornering ability, and thus results in a standing weight distribution of 40% front: 60% rear.
The original Testarossa was re-engineered for 1992 and released as the 512 TR, at the Los Angeles Auto Show, effectively as a completely new car, and an improved weight distribution of 41% front: 59% rear.
The F512 M was introduced at the 1994 Paris Auto Show."
(...)
"The Testarossa sports a 4.9 litre (4,943 cc or 301.6 cu in) Ferrari flat-12 engine mid mounted."
(...)
"The Ferrari Testarossa can accelerate from 0–100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 5.3 seconds and from 0–60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 5.2 seconds and on to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 11.40 seconds."
(...)
"The maximum speed of the Testarossa is 290 kilometres per hour (180 mph)."

The Leaning Tower of Vernazzano.
Sul pianoro posta alla sommità di un ripido sperone roccioso, emergente dal fondo della valle del Rio, si trovava il castello di Vernazzano. Esso apparteneva insieme alla chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo, al monastero di Santa Maria di Petroia e quindi alla diocesi di Città di Castello. Il suo distretto raggiungeva le rive del lago Trasimeno. Nel 1202 fu donato dall’abate del monastero al comune di Perugia che ormai aveva fatto suo l’intero territorio del lago. Sappiamo che nel 1282 il castello contava circa 250 abitanti, la sua posizione lo rendeva pressocchè inespugnabile. I perugini per riaverlo dai Michelotti che l’avevano occupato nel 1383, dovettero sborsare 350 scudi non riuscendo a riprenderlo con le armi. Il castello era posto lungo il percorso principale tra Perugia e Cortona che da Passignano non proseguiva lungo la riva del lago, ma saliva a mezza costa per Montigeto, la piccola villa di Fratta dei Becci, sino a Vernazzano per proseguire poi sino al confine del Comune di Perugia, raggiungibile attraverso due percorsi, quello guardato dal castello di Montegualandro più a sud, e quello più a nord che passava per Castelnovo. Sul finire del ‘300 e nel corso del ‘400 furono più volte compiute opere di ristrutturazione e miglioramento delle difese del castello. In particolare nel 1455 venne restaurata la torre di guardia. In questa fase Vernazzano subisce un sensibile calo demografico come tutto il territorio circostante a causa delle continue pestilenze, carestie e guerre. Matteo dall’Isola Maggiore nella sua opera Trasimenide del 1527 ne segnala il declino sia nel numero degli abitanti sia che nella ricchezza. Negli anno ’50 del ‘700 a causa di un forte terremoto e alle frane la chiesa e le case subirono danni ingenti. Lo stesso evento sismico dovette innescare nella parte più avanzata dello sperone roccioso un notevole movimento franoso per altro molto antico ed ancora in atto che con ogni probabilità è il responsabile delle straordinarie pendenze della torre. La popolazione abbandonò l’antico castello. Si costituì in breve il nuovo nucleo abitato ove già erano presenti alcune residenze ad est dell’argine del torrente rio intorno alla nuova Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo inaugurata nel 1772. La popolazione si insediò ad est dell’argine del torrente rio, intorno alla nuova chiesa di San Michele arcangelo inaugurato nel 1772. Al suo interno in un dipinto di Anton Maria Garbi del 1769 si può ammirare l’antico Vernazzano, ancora integro con la chiesa, il campanile a vela e la torre ancora perfettamente verticale.

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low
I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name, I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
Sky, sky blue and black
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate
and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd let go of your hand
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black
And I'd have fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If I'd known that's what you needed
What you needed me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name, I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you through
You're the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and
the thing that's lost
In everything I do
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
That's the way love is
Sky blue and black
