A zoomed 400mm telephoto' shot, taken from West Kirby beach with Hilbre Island to the right and the Point of Ayr on the Welsh coast to the left !
Shot in Raw with a daylight setting when it should have been sunny the whole image has been ' cooled ' down ! Just increased the contrast and added shadow ~ I like it, and I'm here to share it, but it is all subjective !
The two f*****g a*******s, in an attepmt to get to the island, despite warning signs saying not to cross at this point, walked right thro' all the feeding, wading birds, constantly disturbing them as they did so !
A few minutes after this shot was taken the couple were removed from the beach by a Ranger in a Land-Rover and taken to the correct starting point for crossing to the island a mile or so away ! Chatting to him a couple of hours later on my way home, he just shook his head saying the couple were completely indifferent to the birds plight and never even bothered to then cross to the island !

For some reason, today was a day of memories. I went to church with my grandma and then we visited my grandpas cemetery (2 years last tuesday), and SO many adults at the church kepts saying how much my sister and I have grown up.
People even mentioned that Ana's going to college in 3 years.
So I found these photos from fall 1999/2000, when I was 2 or 3. I bet its from 1999, since I am wearing a diaper >.<
Don't you just love when you have a white sheet as a backdrop, ad then it comes out completly white? I DO!
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.
En el Gobierno nacional amenazan a Mauricio Macri con responder a sus reclamos para que les traslade la jurisdicción sobre el Transporte en la Ciudad, con entregarle el Subte, pero sin los 400 millones de subsidios. Lo concreto es que más allá de las chicanas, acordaron crear una comisión que por 60 días evalúe y trate de acordar los temas en discusión. El Paseo del Bicentenario que reclamó Cristina.

Texto: Por Ignacio Fidanza para La Politica Online.
“Si querés el Subte no hay problema, te lo damos ya, pero sin los subsidios”, cruzó al jefe de Gobierno porteño un ministro, en la reunión que mantuvo con la presidenta Cristina Kirchner, el ministro del Interior Florencio Randazzo y el jefe de Gabinete, Aníbal Fernández.
Como era previsible Macri se negó, pero la idea quedó rebotando en los principales despachos de Bolívar 1. Es que todas las líneas del subte porteño, que opera Metrovías, reciben un subsidio anual de unos 400 millones de pesos. Si se les quitara este auxilio la tarifa pasaría de $ 1,10 a 2,45 mínimo.
Pero en el gobierno porteño hay quienes se entusiasman con la idea y –halcones de la popularidad ajena- hasta se arriesgan a proponer una tarifa de $ 3, para hacer obras. No es poco dinero. El Subte mueve 1,5 millones de personas por día, a 50 personas por pasajeros por día, no cuesta imaginar la masa de dinero que rápidamente Macri podría conseguir para empezar a cumplir su promesa de extender la red de subtes, y que hoy le traba la Nación. El costo político de triplicar la tarifa es obvio.
“Esto tiene dos lecturas, sería una jugada demasiado audaz, no es del estilo de Macri. Pero un político transgresor podría aceptar los subtes sin subsidio, subir las tarifas, hacer las obras y quizás termina de Presidente”, arriesgó un experimentado operador del sector del Transporte.
En el gobierno nacional también hay halcones y palomas en este asunto. Medio en serio medio en broma, algunos proponer “tirarle el Subte por la cabeza a Macri”, sin subsidios, y luego que el jefe de Gobierno se vea obligado a subir la tarifa; hacer lo propio con colectivos y trenes de manera de empezar a aligerar la cada vez más insostenible carga fiscal de la montaña de subsidios que armó Ricardo Jaime.
Frente a esta posición, sectores mas moderados proponen ir aligerando por motus propio la carga de subsidios, de manera consensuada con Macri, combinándolo con graduales aumentos de tarifa, hasta llegar a un mix de tarifa y subsidios que sea aceptable para el jefe de Gobierno y ahí sí concretar la transferencia.
En esta línea se inscribe la decisión de crear una comisión mixta entre el gobierno nacional y el porteño, para intentar acordar en el término de 60 días la mayoría de los temas de competencias que enfrentan a ambas jurisdicciones, entre ellos el Subte.
Por parte del Gobierno de la Ciudad participarán de esta negociación que se está empezando a delinear, el jefe de Gabinete Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, y el ministro de Desarrollo Urbano, Daniel Chaín, del otro lado del mostrador lo esperará un viejo conocido, el actual secretario de Transporte, Juan Pablo Schiavi.

~This is one of the most picturesque churches I have ever seen. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the small and quaint town of Bodega. Bodega is where Alfred Hitchcock's novel The Birds was filmed in 1963. Ansel Adams photographed this church ten years prior.
Here is Mr. Adams' version Church and Road, Bodega, CA.

"Never speak to a woman about her defects; many a lover has had occasion to congratulate himself on having observed this very profitable reticence. The wingèd-footed hero, Perseus, never found fault with Andromeda for her swarthy skin. Andromache was, in everyone's opinion, far too tall; Hector was the only one who considered her of the average height. Accustom yourself to the things you don't like; you'll learn to put up with them; habit makes a lot of things acceptable. At first, Love will be put off by the merest trifle. A freshly-grafted branch that is just beginning to draw the sap.
from the green bark will fall off if the slightest breath of wind disturbs it; but if you give it time to grow strong, it will soon resist the winds and, developing into a sturdy branch, enrich the tree that bears it with its alien fruit. Time effaces everything, even bodily defects, and what we once looked upon as blemishes will one day cease to seem so. At first, our nostrils cannot bear the smell of the hides of bulls; they grow used to it in time and bear it without distress.
Moreover, there are words you can employ to palliate defects. If a woman's skin is blacker than Illyrian pitch, tell her she's a brunette. If she squints a little, tell her she's like Venus. If she's carroty, tell her she's like Minerva. If she's so skinny you would think she was at death's door, tell her she has a graceful figure. If she's short, so much the better, she's all the lighter. If she's thick-waisted, why she's just agreeably plump. Similarly, you must disguise every defect under the name of its nearest quality. Never ask her how old she is, or who was consul when she was born. Leave it to the Censor to perform that uncomfortable duty, especially if she has passed the flower of her youth, if the summer of her days is over, and if she is already compelled to pull out her grey hairs. My young friends, that age, and even an older one than that, is not without its pleasures. It is a field that you should sow and one day You will reap your harvest. Labour while your strength and your youth allow. All too soon tottering eld, with noiseless tread, will be upon you. Cleave the waters of the ocean with your oar, or the glebe with your slough; wield with warlike arm the deadly sword, or devote to women your vigour and your care. ’Tis but another kind of military service, and in it, too, rich trophies may be won.
Nor should it be forgotten that women, who are getting on in years, have experience, and it is only experience that sets the seal of perfection on our natural."
Unfortunately this english translation of Ovid's ars amandi by y J. Lewis May in year 1930 is very victorian, epurated of every reference to sex. Here he talks about woman's defects instead of translating it "Believe me you must not accelerate to get the extreme pleasure". Mr. Puritan lives just in another world!

Chilomonas paramecium es un alga flagelada pálida y minúscula, de movimientos rápidos y nerviosos, es alargada y asimétrica como un pimiento, pero ni rojo, ni verde, Chilomonas es dorada y está cargada de brillantes perlas de almidón que se acumulan en su interior y que son su combustible.
De la parte anterior de Chilomonas , la más ancha, nacen dos flagelos cortos, tiesos como alambres, uno de ellos curvado, como travieso, que son los responsables del impulso que toman estos pequeños protozoos en sus carreras anárquicas y sin meta ▷ .
Chilomonas es una criptofita, grupo de algas flageladas muy comunes, de vida libre y diminutas que crecen masivamente cuando las condiciones del medio les son favorables. La coloración en las criptofitas casi recorre los colores del arcoíris y oscila del verde al verde azulado, pasando por el dorado y el rojizo, debido a los variados pigmentos contenidos en sus cloroplastos.
Los flagelos, tanto en Chilomonas , como en otros géneros del grupo, arrancan como dos pelos rígidos de una hendidura situada en la parte anterior del cuerpo y que se prolonga en la citofaringe de estas algas. Justo, al lado de esta citofaringe se sitúan alineados unos pequeños corpúsculos “ejectisomas” que se disparan liberando su contenido en situaciones de estrés y que provocan un brusco movimiento de salto instantáneo.
Chilomonas paramecium es una alga de vida saprofítica, no realiza la fotosíntesis, se mueve y no quiere la luz, curioso para ser alga ¿no? se alimenta de la materia orgánica disuelta en el agua de los lugares en los que vive, es su caldo de cultivo.
Chilomonas paramecium procede de unas muestras de agua recogidas junto a la Laguna de Urbión, el la vertiente soriana de la Sierra Cebollera y en las inmediaciones del municipio de Molinos de Razón. Ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la téncia de contraste de interferencia.

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.

A group of 15 Sandhill Cranes are coming into the river region to roost on the sandbars at night! By staying on the sandbars they are protected from predators by the surrounding waters!
Nothing speaks to me more of the upcoming Earth Day than the annual migration of the Sandhill Cranes that moves into Nebraska in the early Spring! This is the second photo from my recent trip to view this wonderful show from Mother Nature!
One of the great wildlife spectacles in North America begins in mid-February, as hundreds of thousands of Sandhill Cranes arrive along the Platte River between Kearney and Grand Island, Nebraska.
Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on the planet. Fossil records place cranes in Nebraska more than nine million years ago, long before there was a Platte River, which by comparison, is a youthful 10,000 years of age.
Their numbers build throughout March and peak about St. Patrick's Day. All the cranes stay within an 80 mile wide stretch of river at the Platte and start leaving for their breeding grounds in Canada, Alaska and Siberia in early April. As many as a quarter million cranes may be present at one time, and during the spring, about half a million will stop on the river.
Individual birds spend about 29 days in the area. They forage on corn left over from the previous year and eat earthworms and snails as well. Each bird gains a pound of fat — fuel for the remainder of its migration.
Many Many Thanks for all your support my flickr Friends!!!

I am being such a lazy bastard with my China photo processing. I did this one a while ago and was waiting to upload it with a Ping'an rice field page for my blog, but since I have not been working on photos lately, I thought I would throw this into my stream.
I have to give credit to my wife for telling me I should try selective coloring with the baskets. I was going full B&W until she pointed that out. I think it made this shot 10 times better than the version I had put together.
I believe this is the result of a 3XP HDR shot with 1.33 EV spacing.

I think I will take a pause from posting shots of my USA trip for a month just for the sake of adding a little variety to my stream. I still have a lot of shots I want to post from that trip so I will probably return to that topic in the New Year.
As it’s the last one for a while thought it ought to be something quite grand. There can be few more iconic images from the United States that a view of Monument Valley. We spent a few hours touring about the area quite late in the day so the sun was on its way down I was pleased by the light on this shot and the toy cars give a good sense of scale
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
After far too long and busy week I treated my self with an early wake up and driving to Long Reef to take some shots which last time I didn't have chance to do. Wonderful start before the rain started to spoil this morning sunrise...

I swear I must be medically unstable or something, my stream is like a jumble or different crazy people all thrown together!
We managed to find a beach this evening and watched the sun set over the mountains, I think it has to be up there with one of the most stunning views I've ever seen. Sadly, it didn't entirely distract me from the fact that there was almost a foot of snow in places behind me and I had my feet in freezing water :P
The weather was amazing today, starting to wish I could ditch England and it's lovely rain :P I seem to be permanently boiling at the moment so am skiing in a tshirt, oh and the tomato tone facial state is getting increasingly worse :/ I'm going to have to start doing bw photos soon or something haha
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :)

I know I said I am coming to the end of my Old Tukai Elephant series but I just realised there are a few more shots I would like to share here. I think I am experiencing some kind of inertia about moving over to other animals. I still have tons of photos I like and would love to upload, but I find myself transfixed by the elephants. And Amboseli skies. Does this happen to you guys? Do any of you think back to a particular photo adventure and find it difficult to move on from it?
This photo was in my deleted pile for the longest time as I didn’t like the way the elephants are spaced out, but when I looked at it yesterday night I fell in love with it. This photo is perhaps the most moody of all my Ol Tukai photos; the swirling rain clouds and the solemn elephants present an almost stoic picture. And I love the way their tusks always seem to glow in against their dark skin. Ironic isn’t it, their most impressive asset is also their most cursed

ENGLISH
The Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known as the Robust Chimpanzee, is a great ape. The name troglodytes, Greek for 'cave-dweller', was coined by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his Handbuch der Naturgeschichte (Handbook of Natural History) published in 1779. Colloquially, it is often called the chimpanzee (or simply 'chimp'), though technically this term refers to both species in the genus Pan: the Common Chimpanzee and the closely-related Bonobo, or Pygmy Chimpanzee.
Common Chimpanzees are found in the tropical forests and wet savannas of Western and Central Africa. They once inhabited most of this region, but their habitat has been dramatically reduced in recent years.
Human and Common Chimpanzee DNA is very similar. The DNA sequence differences between humans and chimpanzees is about thirty-five million single-nucleotide changes, five million insertion/deletion events, and various chromosomal rearrangements. Typical human and chimp protein homologs differ in only an average of two amino acids. About 30% of all human proteins are identical in sequence to the corresponding chimp protein. Duplications of small parts of chromosomes have been the major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material; about 2.7% of the corresponding modern genomes represent differences, produced by gene duplications or deletions, during the approximately four to six million years since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor.

CASTELLANO
El chimpancé común (Pan troglodytes) es una especie perteneciente a los grandes simios. Los chimpancés son los parientes más cercanos al ser humano; su rama evolutiva se separó de la rama de los humanos hace aproximadamente 7 millones de años y comparten el 96% del ADN con ellos, lo que ha llevado a Jared Diamond a utilizar el término "el tercer chimpancé" para referirse a nuestra propia especie.
Podemos encontrar chimpancés en las selvas tropicales y sabanas húmedas de África central y occidental. Solían habitar la mayor parte de esta región, pero su hábitat ha sido drásticamente reducido en los últimos años.
Los chimpancés adultos pueden medir hasta 130 cm (hembras) y 160 cm (machos), y los adultos pesan entre 40 y 70 kg, aunque poseen una fuerza muy superior a la humana. Sus cuerpos están cubiertos por un pelaje grueso de color marrón oscuro, con excepción del rostro, dedos, palmas de la mano y plantas del pie. Tanto sus pulgares como el dedo grande del pie son oponibles, permitiendo un agarre preciso. La gestación del chimpancé dura ocho meses. Las crías son destetadas aproximadamente a la edad de tres años, pero generalmente mantienen una relación cercana con su madre por varios años más. La pubertad es alcanzada a la edad de ocho a diez años y su esperanza de vida es de 50 años en cautiverio.

Pope Benedict recently visited the United States and shared a message relevant to our country and our world. The quote below is only one small sample of his multifaceted message. But this small reference seems to fit this image of a beautiful flower, that continues to provide the beauty that was part of its creation, in spite of being "less than whole"... Our ways of seeing are often not His ways of seeing.
"The Gospel teaches us that true freedom, the freedom of the children of God, is found only in the self-surrender which is part of the mystery of love. Only by losing ourselves, the Lord tells us, do we truly find ourselves (cf. Lk 17:33). True freedom blossoms when we turn away from the burden of sin, which clouds our perceptions and weakens our resolve, and find the source of our ultimate happiness in him who is infinite love, infinite freedom, infinite life. "In his will is our peace". Real freedom, then, is God's gracious gift, the fruit of conversion to his truth, the truth which makes us free" (cf. Jn 8:32).

AMPARO JUDICIAL

Texto: Clarín.com
Los legisladores Aníbal Ibarra y Eduardo Epszteyn, de Diálogo por Buenos Aires, y Martín Hourest, de Igualdad Social, presentaron un recurso de amparo para que se suspenda la licitación para construir un túnel debajo de la 9 de Julio, iniciativa que impulsa el Ejecutivo porteño.
El Gobierno de la Ciudad, a través de su empresa AUSA, tiene prevista la apertura de sobres de la licitación el 15 de setiembre. Pero, afirman los legisladores, la gestión de Macri "se extralimitó al permitir que AUSA licite obligaciones que son propias del Gobierno central y no de una empresa del Estado". De esta manera, conseguiría evitar el control de la Legislatura, no pasaría por Audiencia Pública y eludiría otros controles.
Por otra parte, los diputados opositores cuestionaron que se dispongan recursos de AUSA en un fideicomiso para financiar esa obra, lo que comprometería fondos para otras obras. "Mientras Macri pretende emitir bonos para endeudar a la Ciudad, licita obras faraónicas sin planificación alguna y con serias irregularidades. Es un despropósito y se decidió llevar este tema a la Justicia porque es inconstitucional el tipo de obra que se plantea, y es absurdo pensar en un proyecto de estas características en medio de la crisis que atraviesa la Ciudad", agregaron.
Este recurso, presentado ante la Justicia Contencioso Administrativa de la Ciudad, es el segundo por el mismo tema. El primer amparo fue presentado por María José Lubertino, titular del INADI y legisladora electa por el kirchnerismo. También reclamó que el proyecto pasara por una Audiencia Pública, y cuestionó que no se haya presentado un estudio de impacto ambiental.

Io seguo la notte
Non posso sopportare la luce
Quando comincerò a vivere ancora?
Un giorno volerò via lasciando tutto questo al passato......
.........Perché vivere la vita di sogno in sogno temendo il giorno in cui i sogni finiranno?
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin to live again?
One day I'll fly away leave all this to yesterday.........
..........Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends?

aao manaye jashne mohabbat jam uthaye jam ke bad
aao manaye ..
yeh aalam hai jaise udda ja raha ho
tumhe leke bahon me - 2
tumhare labon sey hamare labo tak nahee koyee rahon me
kaise koyee ab dil ko sambhale itane hansi paigham ke baad
aao manaye jashne mohabbat jam uthaye jam ke baad
shaam sey pehale kaun ye soche kya hona hai shaam ke baad
aao manaye ..

'Marocco d'Africa - Meditation' On Black
Come tutti gli stati dove lo stato ha profonde radici religiose, cioè dove il potere politico ha coinciso con quello religioso, i palazzi sono una via di mezzo tra compiti istituzionali e luoghi di culto e meditazione.
MI sono trovato di fronte a questo scorcio, durante la visita a uno dei palazzi storici di Marrakech.

[scritto nella mia agenda, il 21 marzo, mentre aspettavo con marcello davanti ai cancelli, l'apertura della seconda data]
AC/DC per la seconda volta, ad accompagnare gli stati d’animo un po’ assopiti dalla stanchezza, in un futuro molto prossimo largamente ripagati.
Il 19, prima cazzo di data, dopo una giornata stesa al sole, tremante, fremente, AGITATA sono corsa, una FOLLE CORSA sugli scalini verso l’inferno, AC/DC pensavo, e correvo sugli scalini, li facevo a 3 a 3, a 4 a 4, nessuno mi fermava, i muscoli fremevano e io andavo sempre più forte con un solo unico pensiero in testa; finiti gli scalini in salita, per una frazione di secondo ho visto il mondo dall’alto e ho un gridato un “CAZZO!!!” VENUTO DAL CUORE, MA NON C’ERA TEMPO, SONO RIPARTITA, le gambe vibravano, ho rischiato di cadere ed essere travolta, ma no, non è successo…ho corso, madonna se ho corso, vista la passerella e sorpassata, “L’ANGOLO TRA BRIAN E ANGUS era vuoto…SIIIIII, non ci credevo, ero lì, cazzo ero lì, butto la borsa, mi giro e vedo manu che correndo mi raggiunge, subito dietro Stè, C’ERAVAMO TUTTE!! Buttiamo le borse e urliamo gioia, lo staff guarda, capisce e sorride…CI SONO...mi chino sulla transenna, di spalle al resto delle persone che arrivavano stremate, mi chino e il pensiero va ad angelo, indosso avevo la sua maglietta, scendono due lacrime, sono forte, mi sonto forte, mi alza, SONO IN PRIMISSIMA FILA! Davanti ai miei occhi un maestoso ma umano palco, tutti i giochi degli AC/DC erano in fila pronti a essere usati, pronti ad essere acclamati, tutti gli show sono pronti ad accadere.
alle 8 in punto cominciano i "The Answer", un miscuglio tra Led Zeppelin ed AC/DC, bravi, da approfondire, ma vogliamo gli ac/dc....ok, ci siamo!
BUIO, si urla, nessuno si trattiene...nel megaschermo parte un'animazione con Angus sopra il "rock'n'roll train" che getta carbone per far andare più veloce, getta adrenalina....continua il video malizioso alla AC/DC, splendido!!
ESCONO....è IL DELIRIO...cominciano con "ROCK'N'ROLL TRAIN", poi, dopo "HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE", si sente ta, tadada tadada, ta, tadada, tadada...BACK IN BLACKKKKKKK....a seguire Big Jack, bellissima dell'ultimo disco...e poi OI OI OI OI .....DIRTY DEEDS Done Dirt Cheap....SPLENDIDA DOSE DI ADRENALINAAA...mamma mia e pi l'assolo di Thunderstruck...non ci potevo credere, mani alzate e urla, mi provenivano dal fegato, non era la mia voce, non sentivo la mia voce, era Thunderstruck, la stavano facendo mio dio!!!
in "The Jack" mi hanno inquadrato nel megaschermo... ;) e poi ecco che cala la campana dell'inferno, tutti capiamo, tutti urliamo, urla disumane e il salto di quel quasi sessantaduenne che finisce sulla corda della campana, favoloso, esaltante...Hells Bells....
Hanno fatto T.N.T. ....la mia mente ora si stà annebbiando, non riesco a ricordare, a raccontare in modo lineare, mi emoziono, mi agito, tremo ancora, T.N.T. si...oddio non ho parole per descriverla, poi ROSIE, poi Let There Be Rock....breve, brevissima pausa per poi vedere fumo sul palco, tanto fumo e un piccolo Angus completo di corna salire da sotto il palco con la sua Diavoletto pronta a sbraitare...Highway to Hell....ceee...non si può immaginare esperienza migliore...infine per saluto ci regalano i cannoni con "For Those About to Rock We Salute You"...non ho piu parole, il ri-raccontare tutto mi ha fatto esaurire le poche forze rimaste...
Lo spogliarello, la pedana che si alza con Angus che rotola dentro imponendo un assolo maestoso...oddio oddio, le mie aspettative erano altissime ma loro le hanno superate travolgendo ogni cosa...
MI SONO VISTA GLI AC/DC....sono riuscita anche a prendere il plettro di Angus e la scaletta...mio dio, non ci credo ancora....
Hay muchas cosas que nos pueden inspirar: una foto, un libro, un comentario, un sueño, un abrazo, un beso.
En este caso, esta vez la inspiración vino de una escena de Avatar.
Es solo cuestión de dejarse llevar.

Magma from the mantle intruded the deep crust and cooled slowly. Pyroxene and olivine started to crystallize from the magma. Since these where heavier than the surrounding magma, they sank to the bottom of the magma chamber where they became layered. Later, the remaining melt intruded higher levels of the continental crust, where it cooled and crystallised as tønsbergite, larvikite or lardalite. Some million years later the rock was carved and polished by glaciers during the ice age.

306 days to go before my next trip to the Philippines
p.s. quite a few have asked about the "accidental magic". this was not a planned shot - i hardly, if ever, "stage" my shots. i was arranging a bunch of flowers i bought from the supermarket. misted them (force of habit), lay down a few of the daisies on a tray which happened to be mirrored. kept arranging. and as i was about to pick up the daisies i saw this. out came the camera and the macro lens. framed the shot "in camera" and snapped without a tripod. simple process really.
The anatomy of a stolen glance.
Wikipedia says, "Eye contact is an event when two people look at each other's eyes at the same time. It is a form of nonverbal communication known as oculesics and has a large influence on social behavior. Frequency and interpretation of eye contact vary between cultures."
Joan Baez, on the other hand, crooned: ~
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust.
Ensaio Geral
O balet conta uma história onde a fantasia e magia, típicas de um romantismo, contam as aventuras de um quebra-nozes de aparência humana, vestido como um soldado, mas que tem as pernas e a cabeça de tamanho desmensurado. A heroína, Clara, gostava tanto da sua aparência que o pediu como presente de natal ao seu padrinho. Assim o padrinho Herr Dosslmeyer fabricante de relógios disse "Era precisamente para ti", logo em seguida Clara experimenta-o e vê que ele quebra as nozes sempre sem perder o seu sorriso e também com grande eficácia. Seu irmão Fritz, que tinha visto como o quebra-nozes funcionava, também quis usá-lo, mas escolhe as nozes maiores que havia no cesto. Então o quebra-nozes, sendo usado grosseiramente pelo irmão dela, acaba quebrando um de seus braços. Diante das reclamações da pobre Clara, seu pai o juiz Stahlbaun, entrega à filha o seu quebra-nozes como propriedade exclusiva, tendo Fritz que sair para brincar com os seus brinquedos. Logo em seguida Clara pega no chão o braço de quebra-nozes e o consola abraçando-o em seus braços até ele dormir e Clara, também acaba dormindo. Com o adormecimento, Clara sonha... Clara volta ao esconderijo onde havia colocado o seu quebra-nozes, mas encontra o salão cheio de ratazanas enormes que o seu padrinho Dosselmeyer criou. A casa desapareceu e no lugar onde ficavam os móveis estavam árvores gigantescas. Não foi só isso que mudou; o Quebra-Nozes de Clara agora é um soldado de carne e osso e que tem às suas ordens um pelotão de soldados como ele. Começa uma batalha entre as ratazanas e o pelotão do Quebra-Nozes. Jogando enormes sapatos até às ratazanas, os soldados vencem a batalha, e com isso o rei das ratazanas e também as suas ratazanas fogem rapidamente. O bosque se transforma numa linda estufa de inverno. E o Quebra-Nozes transforma-se num lindo príncipe que leva Clara até o Reino das Neves, onde apresenta ao rei a rainha a menina e dançam juntos. Fim do 1º Acto.
Acto II
- 2º Ato
No início do 2º acto Clara e o príncipe Quebra-Nozes despedem-se e seguem para o Reino dos Doces pelo Caminho da Limonada, onde pastéis de todos os reinos do mundo dançam com os dois. Depois deste sonho tão mágico e fantástico Clara acorda e percebe que havia sonhado,ficando triste por isso. Deste modo, vai se despedir do padrinho mago, que tinha ido para casa na companhia do sobrinho. Então, para surpresa de Clara, o tal sobrinho é na verdade o príncipe Quebra-Nozes. Assim acaba o 2º Acto.
A Companhia de Dança Ana Unger apresentará o espetáculo 'Quebra Nozes', no Teatro da Paz, de 2 a 6 de dezembro, às 16h30 e 20h, e dias 16 e 17 de dezembro, no mesmo horário, com participação da Orquestra Sinfônica do Theatro da Paz. O ingresso à venda na bilheteria do teatro custa a partir de R$ 10. Informação: (91) 3223-1929.

Cálmate y todo lo que estás persiguiendo vendrá y te alcanzará.
Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.
John De Paola
La calma es uno de los mejores estados de ánimo. Te permite organizar tus ideas y dejar salir tus emociones, controlar los impulsos insanos y es una estupenda tijera imaginaria para cortar el velo del miedo o de la desesperación. Es la mejor aliada y casi nunca se enfada.
Calm is one of the best states of mind. It allows you to organize your ideas and let your emotions come out, controls the insane impulses and it’s a wonderful imaginary scissor to cut fear or desesperation’s veil. It’s the best allied and it’s almost never angry.
Ok now I finally took the time to process one of my favourite shots from the trip to cornwall. I usually tend to get a bit anxious when it comes to processing the shots which during vacation just looked so gorgeous and about which I was the most excited. I often fear that I don't do the scene justice with the shot and the processing. As you can guess this is not out of camera, that wouldn't have been enough for me to convey the emotions connected to this scene. It's a focusstacked DRI image. And I did a little more than usual to enhance the color contrasts between warm and cool and green and magenta.
It's such a bliss when after a clouded day the sun comes into view for sunset. I was desperately waiting for this moment since I knew it would come to bath the foreground into a warm light and give the sky a kind of ethereal look... Well might also be that this is only how the scene looked or felt for me, but I hope you guys also like it!!
cheers

66/365 - Bad Day - Daniel Powter
Tuesday was sunny but not my day...
It was a beautiful spring journey, warm and colorful, so I went downtown with Loic after classes to take pictures but I wasn't able to find something decent.
On the way back home, I unlocked my door but it was still not opening : the second bolt, the one on the door handle I never use has been unfortunately locked before I closed the door and left my place.
The only problem was that I only had the second keys set, the main keys set with this key was inside.
That was the cherry on the cake of bad day with no inspiration at all.
So I had to broke the glass of my window to get in my flat.
After cleaning all the broken glass I closed the hole with my Nike 6.0 box and some tape...
So this is the story of today's crappy shot, and I found it mix perfectly with Daniel Powter's lyrics.
Hope you'll forgive me for posting a so bad picture.

First Thursday event at Sheffield's HUBS (formerly the National Centre for Popular Music):
"February’s First Thursday, in association with Sheffield Chamber’s BME Forum, is an exciting, extended celebration showcasing some of South Yorkshire’s best creative and cultural businesses and talent from the black and minority ethnic (BME) community and beneficiaries from The Equal Last Mile Development Partnership: South Yorkshire.
The aim of the evening is to promote diversity and networking between the BME business community and the South Yorkshire-wide Creative and Digital Industries sector. Multiple studies have proven that regions which positively embrace cultural diversity and the market opportunities it creates perform better than areas which ignore its potential.
The event will include presentations, musical entertainment and networking, a multi-cultural buffet, stalls from funders and business advisers and a black hair and beauty fashion show in the heart of Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter."

A lagoon is a body of saline water that is partially separated from the adjacent sea and which keeps a proportion of saltwater at low tide. As well as providing an important habitat for seabirds, waterfowl and marshland birds, lagoons also contain unique invertebrates and specialist plants which make this type of habitat important to the UK’s overall biodiversity.
37 acres of littoral land and saline lagoons was purchased by the Society in 1991, with assistance from English Nature (now Natural England), after almost four years of fundraising and negotiations with the land owner. This area lies immediately south of a 33 acre area, which includes Easington Lagoon, which is owned by the Environment Agency and leased to the Society. A further 22 acres of land to the direct south of the Lagoons was purchased in 2000. This package of land is know as Beacon Lagoons, though has also variously been known as Beacon Ponds, Kilnsea Lagoons and Easington Lagoons. It was initially purchased primarily because of the Society’s interest in the little tern colony situated there.
The BLNR contains a variety of coastal habitats including sand dunes, shingle, salt marsh, saline lagoons and pools. The site is situated on the Holderness coast, 2km north of the Spurn peninsula and south-west of the village of Easington. It holds SSSI designation and is a potential SPA and a proposed Ramsar site because it comprises a variety of important features including:
· Its saline lagoons, which are a UK priority Annex 1 habitat under the EC ‘Habitats Directive’
· Its importance for its colony of over 1% of the British breeding population of little terns on its shingle beach and as a feeding and roosting site for important numbers of migratory birds
· Lagoons are included as a priority feature under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan
· Plants and animals which are either mainly or entirely restricted to a lagoonal habitat. These species include flora and fauna protected under schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).
The SHCS is responsible for the management of the BLNR, with the Spurn Bird Observatory involved in the organisation of the Little Tern Protection Scheme. A Tern warden (kindly funded by BP Exploration) is employed during the breeding season to help protect the birds against predation and from the accidental intrusion of beach users.
The water in the lagoons is strongly saline but not tidal, though storm surges may occasionally temporarily connect the lagoons with the sea. These breaches introduce marine organisms that may survive in the lagoons for several years. There is also an area of non-tidal salt marsh and some low dunes.
The main threat to the flora and fauna of the lagoons is the erosion of the beach by the North Sea and by the rise in sea levels. This ultimately threatens the site with ‘coastal squeeze’ whereby the lagoons will become tidal, eventually eliminating them altogether. It is expected the southern addition will eventually acquire a similar aspect to the present lagoons, which will prolong the life of the habitat and its associated flora and fauna.
Some vulnerable plant species such as Divided Sedge (Carex divisa) and Saltwort (Salsola Kali) occur here, along with Spiral Tasselweed (Ruppia cirrhosa) which is close to qualifying as a threatened species in the near future, and Sea Wormwood (Seriphidium maritimum) which is an Internationally important species.
Invertebrates characteristic of such lagoons as these are found here. Species include the mollusc Ventrosia ventrosa, the crustaceans Palaemonetes varians and Idotea chelipes, and the bryozoans Conopeum seurati. These are just a small example of the many different species in the lagoons.
