Merece la pena el madrugón,el frio (-5º) y lo que haga falta para poder tener el privilegio de vivir un instante como el de la foto,el sol abriendose paso entre la niebla,el sonido del bosque con las primeras luces....y nadie en kilometros a la redonda ¡¡¡

This is captured on a small island in the Norwegian archipelago. The ice age shaped this landscape when the land was covered by glaciers. Another photo from the same island can be seen here. A b&w version with a different crop and treatment is available here.

 

The picture is inspired by the great works of valpopando.

Tomada en la desembocadura del río Guadalhorce en Guadalmar en Málaga..

Un sitio de ensueño...

Al llegar y subir el muro de río me encontré con esta primera imagen, el agua dulce se quedaba parada a escasos metros de la salada, del Mediterráneo, actuando como un espejo natural para el imponente espectáculo de colores que formaban el Cielo y la Bahía de Málaga...

90' de sesión, 79 imágenes seleccionadas, 42 ya completamente retocadas, una sesión alucinante...

mucho trabajo por delante..jejeje

un disfrute madrugar, volvió a merecer la pena..

Feliz domingo!!

 

Seizure in the mouth of the Guadalhorce river in Guadalmar in Málaga....

A dream site...

When arriving and raising the wall of river I was with this first image, the fresh water remained shutdown to little meters of the salty one, of the Mediterranean, acting like a natural mirror for the imposing spectacle of colors that formed the Sky and the Bay of Malaga…

90' of session, 79 images selected, 42 already completely altered, a hallucinating session…

much work ahead...jejeje

a benefit to rise early, returned to be worth the trouble...

Happy Sunday!

Un po' di tempo fa Nancy era senza compagnia

all'ultimo spettacolo con la sua bigiotteria.

[...]

s'innamorò di tutti noi non proprio di qualcuno

non proprio di qualcuno.

[...]

E dove mandi i tuoi pensieri adesso trovi Nancy a fermarli

molti hanno usato il suo corpo molti hanno pettinato i suoi capelli.

E nel vuoto della notte quando hai freddo e sei perduto

È ancora Nancy che ti dice - Amore sono contenta che sei venuto.

 

Sono contenta che sei venuto.

Starlings are small to medium-sized passerine birds in the family Sturnidae. The name "Sturnidae" comes from the Latin word for Starling, sturnus. Starlings occur naturally in the Old World, from Europe, Asia and Africa, to northern Australia and the islands of the tropical Pacific. Several European and Asian species have been introduced to these areas as well as North America, Hawaii and New Zealand, where they generally compete for habitat with native birds and are considered to be invasive species.

Los Mallos de Riglos están situados en la localidad de Riglos, en la provincia de Huesca (España), unos 45 Km. al noroeste de Huesca capital.

Situados en el prepirineo oscense, están formados de conglomerados del mioceno, sedimentos con cantos rodados de tamaño significativo cementados por grava y arena, que tuvieron su origen en los conos de deyección de cauces que vertían hacia la antigua depresión central del Ebro. Estos depósitos aluviales han sido elevados por plegamientos de las capas inferiores y posteriormente erosionados, dando lugar a estas impresionantes paredes, de las que hay otros ejemplos menores en la cercana Agüero y en otros puntos del prepirineo.

Es un paraíso de montañeros, escaladores, y amantes de la naturaleza, con fácil acceso superior para unos y con espectaculares paredes verticales de aspecto redondeado para otros y que inspiraron la asignación de sus nombres: El Puro, El Pisón, Castilla, Volaos, Cuchillo, Frenchín, Visera y Fire. Por sus paredes han pasado la mayor parte de los escaladores españoles, incluyendo a los míticos Alberto Rabadá y Ernesto Navarro que abrieron muchas de las vías de escalada de los Mallos de Riglos.

Una leyenda cuenta que anteriormente había en los Mallos de Riglos una aldea, Foz de Escalete, en la que vivía una anciana bruja gigantesca. Su aspecto y tamaño atemorizaban a los aldeanos y cansada de esto, levantó las inmensas rocas y allí se escondió de todos.

A young buck strolls though the park as the sun breaks though the Pacific fog deep in the redwood forest. My wife and while out driving without knowing where we were going had accidentally discovered a nearby redwood park that was often laden with fog from San Francisco Bay. At the time, all I had was a simple point and shoot Olympus camera and we didn't have all the filters you would have with an SLR camera and I had not yet learned to use the manual modes. The walk through the park remarkable but unfortunately the camera just wasn't up to the task of taking the pictures under these conditions.

 

I never throw away an image and I was glad I held on to this one. As I was digging though my old photographs and realized that this shot had some potential especially given that I've learned a lot about Camera RAW And Photoshop. One of the things I had recently learned was that you could load the old JPEG images in Camera RAW. With a bit of work in Camera RAW and then Photoshop, I had a photograph that reminded me of that day and made hanging on to the image worth it all.

The first round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks sent us 'Above the Clouds'.

 

When the theme was announced I immediately had to think of an adventurer on their flying animal. I briefly took a detour into the Ghibliverse but since that didn't work out, this turtle became the classic last-minute entry one is to expect from me. Hope you like it regardless!

Minimal editing on this one, photographed it in front of a tablet!

 

The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 96 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.

 

Seven more rounds to go, we barely started! Feel free to join in on the fun!

Excerpt from www.lecinqueterre.org/eng/arte/montebattista.php:

 

THE CHURCH OF SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST

 

The church of San Giovanni Battista was built between 1244 and 1307, the date inscribed on a rock in the second column on the left looking towards the altar. Remodeled in the Baroque period and more recently between 1963 and 1964, it is a splendid example of Genoese Ligurian Gothic.

 

The façade is made of alternating vestments of white marble and dark green serpentine, with a slightly splayed pointed portal, flanked by a double pair of marble columns and surmounted by a lunette with an 18th century fresco depicting the Baptism of Christ. The splendid central rose window in white marble is a splendid example of ornate Gothic, attributed to Matteo and Pietro da Campiglio. From the central button, eighteen smooth and twisted columns radiate alternating from which intertwined trefoil arches branch off.

 

With a basilica plan with three naves, it has a progressive narrowing of the width of the aisles towards the entrance, with the dual effect of creating a perspective illusion and favoring the propagation of sound waves. Inside are preserved the baptismal font from 1360, a canvas of the Madonna del Rosario from the school of Luca Cambiaso, a painting depicting the Crucifixion by an unknown artist, probably a Genoese painter from the 17th century and the high altar from 1734. One of the columns bears an inscription engraved in medieval characters.

 

The bell tower with Ghibelline battlements rises alongside the apse area, an ancient medieval control tower with a rectangular plan, opened by Gothic mullioned windows with arches decorated with denticles, raised in the 15th century and remodeled in the 18th century after an earthquake.

I can't tell ya baby what went wrong

I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago

I'll let it show

I can't give you back what's been hurt

Heartaches come and go and all that's left are the words

I can't let go

If we take some time to think it over baby

Take some time, let me know

If you really want to go

 

Don't know what you got till it's gone

Don't know what it is I did so wrong

Now I know what I got

It's just this song

And it ain't easy to get back

Takes so long

 

I can't feel the things that cause you pain

I can't clear my heart of your love it falls like rain

Ain't the same

I hear you calling far away

Tearing through my soul I just can't take another day

Who's to blame

If we take some time to think it over baby

Take some time let me know

If you really wanna go

 

Don't know what you got till it's gone

Don't know what it is I did so wrong

Now I know what I got

It's just this song

And it ain't easy to get back

Takes so long

 

Do you wanna see me beggin' baby

Can't you give me just one more day

Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately

I've been lookin' for the words to say

 

Don't know what you got till it's gone

Don't know what it is I did so wrong

Now I know what I got

It's just this song

And it ain't easy to get back

Takes so long

 

Don't know what you got till it's gone no

Don't know what it is I did so wrong

Now I know what I got

It's just this song

And it ain't easy to get back

Takes so long

The Durbanville canola fields are flowering again!

 

Canola is a rotational crop, meaning that it shouldn't be planted year after year in the same field. This is due to a number of factors - better pest, disease and weed control, declining soil fertility and reduced available moisture.

 

This also means that when you find a great composition in a canola field one year, you'll probably have to wait a few years before you can revisit that field again to improve on your composition. I always get quite excited towards the middle of July, wondering which fields on which Durbanville farms have been planted with canola, and hoping that I'll be able to find a great composition there.

 

This particular canola field offers a fairly nice view of Table Mountain... I will definitely be exploring it a bit more in the next month or two.

In this beautiful "corner" I sat down on the grass and enjoyed the beauty of Nature in all its glory: the sound of the water, the birds, the breeze, the plants all come together in perfect harmony - after a long walk in this unique "park" I rested here and medidated for a while and felt so "at peace"; so as of we are all going through a crisis in this world I hope you will enjoy this beautiful and peaceful place - so listen to the music, be zen (and lets "give peace a chance") ... ENJOY!

View On Black I hope it works today - please let me know, when you can't view the black?! It kinda sucks sometimes, that flickr just provides a white background. I mean, what's the point in taking a picture with a certain atmosphere (perhaps a little creepy or so) and then a white background and a PINK r destroys everything? :-))

 

Ok, that'll be the last upload of this location. Probably it gets too boring then. I have already told a lot of things about that place. I can't come up with anything new :-)

 

Oh, and if you really like to see a dead cat - it's the image previously uploaded to the stream. If you can't see it, check your filters :-)

 

And yes, i'd really like to thank all of you guys for the support on this photo. It finally reached #3 on explore (highest) and even showed up on the frontpage. (first time, as far as i know?) :-) thank you!!!

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;

The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;

The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

 

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;

Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;

For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head;

It is some dream that on the deck,

You’ve fallen cold and dead.

 

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;

My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;

The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;

From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;

Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!

But I, with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

The Moon does not orbit Earth in a perfect circle. Instead, it follows an elliptical path that brings it 50,000 kilometres closer to our planet on one side of its orbit. On 12 December, the Moon will enter its full phase, when its disc appears completely illuminated by the Sun, just four hours after reaching its closest point to Earth. This will make it 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons in 2008. It will be eight years before the Moon appears so big again. Also it is expected to have an effect on Earth's tides.

 

Photo of the moon taken at its closest point to Earth in the northern hemisphere on 12 December 2008 around midnight. The full Moon will also appear higher in the sky than any other year. At this time the moon will shine down from nearly overhead. The landscape of Château de Peyrepertuse is a PS composite. Photo properties ISO100, 1/400s, f/7.1, zoom 648mm and spot metering

 

Op 12 december bereikt de maan tevens de kleinste afstand tot de aarde in 356.567 kilometer. De Volle Maan van deze avond dan ook de grootste van het jaar. De maan is 14% groter en 30% lichter als normaal. 's Nachts kunnen we de maan vaak zien. Overdag staat ze ook wel eens aan de hemel, maar dan is ze minder opvallend omdat de zon schijnt. In de avond, de nacht, of in de vroege ochtend zie je haar des te beter. Het lijkt alsof ze licht geeft, net als de zon. Maar de maan geeft geen licht. Ze wordt beschenen door de zon, net als de aarde. Het licht weerkaatst en daarom lijkt het of de maan schijnt. Toch is het zonder maan 's nachts een tikje donkerder dan met de maan. Met een heldere, volle maan kun je 's nachts zelfs een schaduw van jezelf op de grond zien! De maan hoort bij de aarde. Met z'n tweeën suizen ze door het heelal, ieder jaar een rondje om de zon. De maan draait ook nog een ander rondje; ze draait om de aarde. Ze doet er bijna een maand over om één rondje te gaan. De maan is zelf natuurlijk ook heel groot. Ze heeft dus ook haar eigen zwaartekracht. Sterker nog; de maan trekt een beetje aan de aarde. Dat merk je aan het water van de zee. Als het vloed wordt, wil de maan het water als het ware naar zich toe trekken. Dat lukt natuurlijk niet, want de aarde trekt veel harder. Maar je merkt het wel! Het water komt dan veel verder op het strand. Dat gebeurt elke dag twee keer. De maan trekt niet alleen aan het water, zelfs de bergen zijn een paar millimeter hoger als de maan boven hun toppen staat! Het maanlandschap bestaat uit heuvels, kraters, zand en rotsen. Waar de zon schijnt is het gloeiend heet; 100 graden Celsius boven nul. Waar geen zon komt vriest het 150 graden Celsius onder nul.

Why I do not see here the ships

With sails from the Southern seas?

Why there is no wind and I cannot hear the waves?

All I want is to leave and be with you forever…

My house is like a stone tomb

I feel daft and blind

And I can only see that winter night,

This fear of black streets where you go away…

DARCY PADILLA | FAMILY LOVE

Il progetto a più lungo termine di Darcy Padilla, Family Love, si è sviluppato a partire dai suoi reportage sull'Aids. Nel 1993 Padilla stava documentando le storie dei tossicodipendenti affetti da questa malattia che vivevano nei Single Room Occupancy hotel (strutture dove spesso vivono indigenti o ex senzatetto) di San Francisco. È lì che ha incontrato Julie Baird, una neo madre di 19 anni che aveva appena scoperto di avere l'Aids. Padilla ha fotografato Julie e la sua famiglia per i successivi 21 anni. Julie è poi morta a causa della sua malattia, in un luogo sperduto in mezzo alla natura in Alaska. Lo scopo del progetto è stato e continua ad essere quello di analizzare le tematiche sociali in relazione alla tossicodipendenza, la povertà, la previdenza sociale e gli abusi sessuali, attraverso la vita di una persona.

Posting a photograph regularly is very difficult job to a lazy man like me,so I always try to find interesting subject in common material…..

And always consciously looking for good photographs in everyday scenes to open up a whole new source of subject matter….

Here I try to give total pictorial qualities such as shape, form, pattern and texture…In this photograph; I also try to capture the atmosphere….

I use here, feather of a Macau bird with natural light, and a simple white board as a reflector to combines the compositional elements of shape, texture and tone….

Hope you like it……………….

Can you guess the movie?:

 

When you're young, everything feels like the end of the world.

But it's not.

It's just the beginning.

You might have to meet a few jerks,

but one day,

you're gonna meet a boy

who treats you the way you deserve to be treated.

Like the sun rises and sets with you.

   

Ok, so the real reason I uploaded this is because i was tagged by sara.kross. She's amazing! Check out her stream! I love all her photos so much :)

 

I know I did this before, but I've changed a lot since then. I thought I'd be a little more serious with this one and answer some questions i've gotten in my flickrmail. Maybe even ask you a few...hmmm?

  

1. I got the question "why don't you upload more pictures of yourself?" The answer to that is actually really simple. It's because I don't have a remote and I get tired of the ten second dash and the inability for my camera to focus is i'm not standing there the whole time. But hopefully, Christmas will be the time to fix that problem...

 

2. Someone also asked me where I got the models. My models are actually just friends from school. I live in an area where it seems like everyone is super skinny and gorgeous so it's not hard to find someone who looks like one, but i really love taking photos of girls that don't have that perfect body. I just wish that people would find a photo of someone they considered unattractive to be just as interesting as the ones of someone they do.

 

3. Another question was do you want to do this professionally. Um...i don't know yet...I know I probably wouldn't do it full time, even though I would like too. But my mom doesn't particularly approve of being a photographer, so i think i really want to be a third or fourth grade teacher and maybe take pictures during the summer?

 

Here come the facts and questions for you...

4. I'm adopted. Now tell me an interesting fact about you.

 

5. I greatly enjoy photography because the view from my side of the lens is only my own and no one else can see through it unless I allow them to through the photograph. What's your favorite part about photography?

 

6. I love love love getting together with other photographers and attempting to see their visions. I would love to do more of this (anyone live around here?). Do you prefer to work by yourself or with someone? Not necessarily in photography, just in general.

 

7. Music is a good escape for me. I love the sound of acoustics. In fact, I play/played the acoustic guitar. Not so much anymore, but I still play the piano quite often. Who/what's your favorite type of music, artist, etc.

 

8. Wow this is long. When I was reading through it I know I only read the bold parts. Are you only reading the parts that are bolded?

 

9. For Christmas, I would like a remote, money, a new journal for my overflowing quote book, a new living translation bible, and an air freshener for my car. It smells like something died in the back seat. Even if something did, i wouldn't notice because my car is so messy. For example, in my trunk, there is a cot, a guitar, a ton of fake flowers, lots of schoolwork, glitter, an easter basket, a basketball, costume jewelry, a fiddler on the roof record, a cowboy hat, lots and lots of clothes, etc. Seriously, there is a LOT of stuff in my car. So I have two questions...What do you want for Christmas? and What's weird in your car?

 

10. I enjoy solitude almost more than I enjoy being with people. I'm usually happier with people, but it doesn't give me time to think. Would you rather be alone in this world or constantly surrounded by people?

Strelitzia is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. The genus is named after the duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, birthplace of Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom. The common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower, because of a supposed resemblance of its flowers to the bird of paradise. In South Africa it is commonly known as a "crane" flower.

The species S. nicolai is the largest in the genus, reaching 10 m tall; the other species typically reach 2-6 m tall. The leaves are large, 30-200 cm long and 10-80 cm broad, similar to a banana leaf in appearance but with a longer petiole, and arranged strictly in two ranks to form a fan-like crown of evergreen foliage. The flowers are produced in a horizontal inflorescence emerging from a stout spathe. They are pollinated by sunbirds, which use the spathe as a perch when visiting the flowers; the weight of the bird on the spathe opens it to release the pollen onto the bird's feet, which is then deposited on the next flower it visits.

Where are we?

what the hell is going on?

the dust has only just begun to form

crop circles in the carpet

sinking feeling

 

spin me round again

and rub my eyes,

this can't be happening

when busy streets a mess with people

would stop to hold their heads heavy

 

hide and seek

trains and sewing machines

all those years

they were here first

 

oily marks appear on walls

where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,

the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

 

hide and seek

trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)

blood and tears (hearts)

they were here first

 

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmm that you only meant well?

well of course you did

Mmmm whatcha say,

Mmmm that it's all for the best?

of course it is

Mmmm whatcha say?

Mmmm that it's just what we need

you decided this

whatcha say?

Mmmm what did she say?

mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

Another trip to Havskaaren. It takes about 20 minutes with a fast boat to reach this location in the local archipelago. It is one of my favorite locations for photographing seascapes.

 

It was a fairly friendly autumn evening but the sea was quite rough and the waves almost to big to enter the island. But, for good seascapes you have to try harder and we did. vandrende got wet by a large wave right after entering the shore and little later we had both wet feet after getting too close to those dangerously beautiful waves.

 

This was one of the last photos I shot. It was getting almost too dark and we had to get back to the mainland when I spotted this small stream of ocean water flowing in from the waves in the back. Shortly after this shot we were on our way back supported by the full moon light.

This fishing boat, Sea Breeze, suddenly appeared out of the fog from the ocean into the Noyo Harbor weighed down with the day's catch. I was a bit intriqued with what was in the baskets in back so zoomed in as he passed by. He was loaded with Sea Urchins, a delicacy of the ocean. After reading about Sea Urchins and their culinary contribution, I'm afraid I'm not a fan. I'll remember them more for the beautiful little sea creatures we found in the tide pools at McKerrichter State Beach.

Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school

Tell your mum what to expect, she says its right out of the blue

Do you went to work in debenhams, because thats what they expect

Start in lingerie, and doris is your supervisor

 

And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start

For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art

Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange

Making life-size models of the velvet underground in clay

 

In the queue for lunch they take the piss, youve got no appetite

And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight

So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk

While your cleaning up the mess the teachers looking up your skirt

 

Youve been used, youre confused

Write a song, Ill sing along

Are you calm? settle down

Soon you will know that you are sane

Youre on top of the world again

 

Monday morning wake up knowing that youve got to go to school

Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you?

Do you went to work in c&a, cause thats what they expect

Move to ladieswear and take a feel off joe the storeman

 

Tell veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed

Shes got everything to gain cause shes a fat girl with a lisp

She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs

cause you cant afford a blazer and youre always wearing clogs

 

At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room

Heed of english gets you, asks you, what the hell do you think youre doing?

Do you think youre better then the other kids? well get outside.

Youve got permission, but youve got to make the bastard think hes right
