The Cathedral-Basilica of Cefalù, (Italian: Duomo di Cefalù) is a Roman Catholic church in Cefalù, Sicily, southern Italy.
The cathedral, dating from 1131, was commenced in the Norman style, the island of Sicily having been conquered by the Normans in 1091. According to tradition, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm to land on the city's beach. The fortress-like character of the building, which, seen from a distance, rises as a huge bulk above its medieval town, may in part reflect the vulnerability of the site to attack from the sea. It also made a powerful statement of the Norman presence.
Numerous changes were made over succeeding centuries and the edifice was never entirely completed.

Nash Point Lighthouse
Position 51° 24'.00 N 03° 33'.05 W
Nash Point Lighthouse
Nash Lighthouse was designed by James Walker, the Engineer-in-Chief to Trinity House, in 1832 to mark the sandbanks off the point at the entrance to the Bristol Channel. The decision to build it followed a public outcry after the passenger steamer FROLIC was wrecked with heavy loss of life in 1830.
Two circular towers were built each with massive walls and a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37 metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high light was painted with black and white stripes and the low light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed light which was either red or white depending on the direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned early this century and the high light was modernised and painted white. In place of the fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed which gives a white and red group flashing.
Nash is one of those lighthouses scattered around our coast that has no claim to fame. For over 160 years its light has done its job as a sign to mariners to keep them clear of danger, its sole distinction is the discovery in 1977 of the tuberous thistle (Cirsium Tuberosum), a rare plant, which was found growing around the lighthouse.

Boat on the River Lyrics
Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out any more
Time stands still as I gaze in her waters
She eases me down, touching me gently
With the waters that flow past my boat on the river
So I dont cry out anymore
Oh the river is wide
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face disappears
Take me down to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore
Oh the river is deep
The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquillity base
Where the frown on my face disappears
Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, with you let me go down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I wont cry out anymore
And I wont cry out anymore
And I wont cry out anymore

The flat hill in the distance is a marvelous formation that can be recognised from miles away. Just to the south of it is located the historic 77 ranch first owned by Peck and Converse. Mike Shonsey of the Johnson County Range War was employed by the 77 ranch. www.wheeler-roots.org/histories/history-shonsey.php
In his book,The long trail from Texas, Ad Spaugh talks of burying a couple children who live with thier mother in a cabin east of Flat Top that took sick and died. They were buried on a pine knoll nearby Flat Top by a crew of sad cowboys.
My Grandmother who knew Ad and sadly recalled visiting with him about the burial. She told me of it before I had ever read the book many years later. Exciting and hard times...

A little pause from Paraty photos... testing a laser trigger that I plan to use togheter with sound trigger in a new setup I'm working on.
The coin is a US 10 cents of dollar, aka "dime".

Este presente, liso como una tabla, fresco,
esta hora, este día limpio
como una copa nueva
—del pasado no hay una telaraña—,
tocamos con los dedos el presente,
cortamos su medida,
dirigimos su brote,
está viviente, vivo,
nada tiene de ayer irremediable,
de pasado perdido,
es nuestra criatura,
está creciendo en este momento,
está llevando arena,
está comiendo en nuestras manos,
cógelo, que no resbale,
que no se pierda en sueños ni palabras,
agárralo, sujétalo y ordénalo
hasta que te obedezca,
hazlo camino, campana, máquina,

corta su deliciosa fragancia de madera
y de ella hazte una silla,
trenza su respaldo,

Sí, escalera,
sube en el presente,
peldaño tras peldaño,
firmes los pies en la madera del presente,
hacia arriba, hacia arriba,
no muy alto,
tan sólo hasta que puedas reparar
las goteras del techo,
no muy alto,
no te vayas al cielo,
alcanza las manzanas, no las nubes,
ésas déjalas ir por el cielo,
irse hacia el pasado.
Tú eres tu presente,
tu manzana: tómala de tu árbol,
levántala en tu mano, brilla

Ladies and gentlemen
Your attention please!
And now the moment we've been waiting for is here
I have something to tell you
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be
The future's not our
I believe in the future
I don't believe in miracles
Can it be true? it must be true! No doubt!
Life is going on as normally as ever
But suddenly something seems to have happened
Everybody seems to be staring in one direction
People seem to be frightened, even terrified
I want everybody to understand this
I don't understand
I don't understand
There are a lot of things we don't understand, either
We need answers from you: what did you expect to find?
What's going to be our future?
It's your responsibility to do something about it
Well, I have the key in my hands: all I have to find is the lock
Now listen to me, all of you!
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be
Oh you're divine!

Pour voir en diaporama les séries "A tous les 100 pas/ "...
Concept original de DIdier Bonaventure qui nous ouvre la voie :
la série A tous les 100 pas de Didier Bonaventure
....
In every 100 steps ? It is a kind of advance, a course, a ballade. It is, while leaving at home, 100 steps after 100 steps (that is to say in all 2400 step and thus 24 sights) photographs of what was in front of me.
So, every day, during 24 days, on Flickr, on the same place and at the same hour, the picture of previous the day is replaced by a new image.
To keep the track of the past images, they are placed in a message under the image which changes. It is thus necessary to reserve 24 successive places from the dépos of the first image.
This choice of presentation has the effect of showing the messages of the visitors and their comment on the image which was, for them, that of day.
...
À tous les 100 pas ? C'est une sorte de cheminement, un parcours, une ballade. C'est, en sortant de chez moi, 100 pas après 100 pas (soit en tout 2400 pas) 24 photos de ce qui était devant moi.
Au-delà de cette ballade donc, à tous les jours, même heure (14H), et ce pendant 24 jours, j'écrase la photo de la veille, pour la remplacer par une nouvelle de cette série. Aussi, pour garder la trace des images substituées, je les place au fur et à mesure dans un message sous l'image qui change (ceci explique pourquoi j'ai réservé 24 espaces). Notamment, ce choix de présentation a pour effet, comme pour une seule image, de montrer les messages des visiteurs venus voir et commenter l'image qui fut, pour eux, celle du jour.
Dire, montrer, faire les choses autrement, être soi ― donc différent ― c'est forcément prendre le risque de ne pas se faire comprendre, n'est-ce pas ?
Et à partir du 13 décembre.... à qui le tour ?

♪ ♫ We Don't Talk Anymore ♪ ♫ ~~ by Cliff Richard.
Used to think that life was sweet,
Used to think we were so complete,
I can't believe you'd throw it away.
Used to feel we had it made,
Used to feel we could sail away,
Can you imagine how I feel today,
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one,
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one,
Do you know what you've done.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
Well it really doesn't matter to me,
I guess your leaving was meant to be,
It's down to you now you wanna be free,
Well I hope you know which way to go you're on your own again,
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one,
Remember what you've done.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore,
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore,
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep,
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

Taro fields of Kauai, the largest in the US. Taro has been a staple for the Hawaiians like potatoes are to us. It’s a starchy plant that the root is used to make poi. I tried it once, I don’t think I need any more. Not that is has a bad taste, actually there isn’t a strong taste, just didn’t care for it.
I ignored the no trespassing sign and turned off the highway on to this lane to get the shot. My plan if I got challenged was to say I was just turning around.
This was taken just outside the little town of Hanalei .... the PERFECT spot to retire in a tropical environment!!! … just my opinion.

The Primate house at the Brookfield Zoo was great. I'd go so as far as saying it was the best part of the zoo. The only trouble is that it was somewhat overcast and the lighting in the house was very poor. Had to shoot most shots at ISO 400 or 800 with the lens wide over and a shutter speed of 1/15 to 1/50. A lot of the monkeys were very active but all the action shots came out blurred.

The short and sweet spring seems to be ending here in Texas. Constant day temperatures in the 90's and a heat that breaks you into sweat as soon as you step outside. However the evenings can still be quite nice so we have to enjoy them while they still last. We spent last Saturday night doing just that. What a place to spend an evening. I hung out with the family sitting around chatting and enjoying the nice evening. We lit a fire as the sun was setting and I decided to set the camera up to make a photo. To capture this scene the way I saw it I had to use an HDR technique and combine the three image HDR with the best photo of the fire and digitally blended this image with the tonemapped HDR.

Jeudi dernier après le boulot Yoann et moi nous sommes allés sur la plage de Bourda/Montjoly (entrée Ifremer) pour tenter un coucher de soleil. Malheureusement, elle était pleine de joggers et de kitesurfers. La marée était trop haute pour essayer de composer avec les rochers, donc... encore un autoportrait (désolé ;-).

Last Thursday after work Yoann and I went on the beach of Bourda/Montjoly (Ifremer's entry) to try a sunset shot. Unfortunately, it was full of joggers and kitesurfers. The tide was too high to try to compose with the rocks, so ... yet a selfportrait (sorry ;-). Beach of Bourda (French guiana).

L'Obelisco Lateranense è uno dei tredici obelischi antichi di Roma; attualmente si trova a piazza San Giovanni in Laterano.
Con la sua altezza di 32,18 m (con il basamento e la croce raggiunge i 45,70 m.) è l'obelisco più alto del mondo.
Fu realizzato all'epoca dei faraoni Tutmosis III e Tutmosis IV (XV secolo a.C.) e proviene dal tempio di Ammone a Tebe (Karnak) in Egitto. Fu portato a Roma per volere dell'imperatore Costanzo II nel 357 ed eretto dal praefectus urbi Memmio Vitrasio Orfito sulla spina del Circo Massimo, dove già si trovava l'obelisco Flaminio.
Venne ritrovato in tre pezzi nel 1587, insieme all'obelisco Flaminio, e fu eretto nella sua attuale collocazione nel 1588 dall'architetto Domenico Fontana per volontà di papa Sisto V.

He is an artist, the best that I came across, who absorbs his thoughts through apertures, mesmerizes his viewers with each shutter click and paints his pictures with the grandeur mix of light and shadow. In his spirit he stands tall beyond anything. He is a man I consider a mentor, and a man I know to be a friend.
Folks years come and then they end, but the memories we build up last forever. In many ways 2011 is going to be one of those years for me that will define me for years to come. I hope you will all have a blissful and progressive 2011.

Excerpt from www.lecinqueterre.org/eng/arte/vernaantiochia.php:
Legend has it that in ancient times, a small wooden box was found along the coast of Vernazza, containing the bones of a finger of Santa Margherita's hand. After shouting the miracle, the inhabitants decided to build a church in honor of the Saint in the district called Isolotto. A strong storm, however, dispersed the relic and it appeared only some time later, exactly where it was first found. The Vernazzesi then built the church there, overlooking the sea, where it is today.
More prosaically, the church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia was built in the 13th century in the Gothic-Ligurian style by the Antelami Masters on a pre-existing Romanesque building. Mentioned for the first time in 1318, it stands on a rock overlooking the sea. The octagonal tower, 40 meters high, is crowned by small arches and ends with an ogival dome. Between 1500 and 1600 the church was enlarged, extending the hall by two bells per nave, to the detriment of the original medieval façade which was destroyed. In 1750, new works on the church led to the covering of the Romanesque interior with Baroque style coverings, also replacing the wooden roof with vaults and raising the bell tower. In more recent times, in the years 1964-1970, the church was partially restored with the original internal structure and recovering the exposed wooden roof.
The church has two entrances: the main one is more hidden and less easy to reach, and a more comfortable one, in one of the apses overlooking the tree-lined square in front of the marina, opened during the 19th century. The interior with three naves is raised above the level of the square. It houses two 17th century canvases, the Baroque high altar from 1750, an 18th century processional chest and a wooden crucifix attributed to Anton Maria Maragliano.
This is bamboo.
I'm exhausted beyond words. I'm getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night, no more than that. I'm bombarded with school and homework. Geometry quiz, two sections of history notes and Q&A, and an entire double-page spread for the yearbook all due on Friday, none of which I have started, none of which I have the damn time to do. I'm beat, so bad I want to cry. The worst part is, when I get into my bed, no matter how early or how late, it takes me hours to fall asleep. Hours.
I want a cure.

Got several lightning storms this week in Campinas. This night was special, the lightning came much before the rain, so I could get the sky relatively clear.
Last time, I closed more on the subject, the hotel Royal Palm Plaza... this time I decide to go wider and get more landscape.
How: Used a polarizer to increase exposure time, since it wasn't completely dark yet. Small aperture, lowest ISO. Took a few hundreds of photos this night.
Processing: Four sucessfull lightning captures blended in Photoshop layers.

Essa semana em Campinas tivemos muitas tempestades com raios. Essa noite foi especial, os raios vieram bem antes da chuva, então consegi um céu relativamente limpo.
Da última vez, fechei a imagem mais próximo do assunto, o hotel Royal Palm Plaza... dessa vez decidi pegar uma paisagem mais ampla.
Como: Usei um polarizador para aumentar o tempo de exposição, pois não estava completamente escuro ainda. Abertura pequena, ISO baixo. Tirei algumas centenas de fotos essa noite.
Processamento: Quatro capturas de raios com sucesso foram combinadas em layers do Photoshop.

After the sea-ship, after the whistling winds,
After the white-gray sails taut to their spars and ropes,
Below, a myriad myriad waves hastening, lifting up their necks,
Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship,
Waves of the ocean bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,
Waves, undulating waves, liquid, uneven, emulous waves,
Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,
Where the great vessel sailing and tacking displaced the surface,
Larger and smaller waves in the spread of the ocean yearnfully flowing,
The wake of the sea-ship after she passes, flashing and frolicsome
under the sun,
A motley procession with many a fleck of foam and many fragments,
Following the stately and rapid ship, in the wake following.
After the Sea-Ship

♪♫The paths not taken♪♫, de Wim Mertens.
Ni tan siquiera hace falta que existan puertas para abrirlas. Los espacios los creamos nosotros, con nuestros sentimientos, nuestros deseos, nuestros miedos, nuestras penas y nuestras alegrías.
Sí, es cierto: algunas llaves se perdieron y hay portones que no volverán jamás a cambiar de posición. Encajados en su marco, sin dejar pasar un resquicio de aire. Pero eso ya no importa. O no debería importar. Cuando lo que se desea es permanecer, estar y compartir, las cerraduras oxidadas es mejor que se queden así, envejecidas por el devenir del tiempo y la certeza de que lo malo se ha relegado al pasado.
Somos hombres y mujeres compartiendo un mismo temor: equivocarnos en el momento de dedicir. Pero eso nos acerca, nos hace cómplices, nos ayuda a reconocernos en nuestra debilidad y aceptarla como algo propio y necesario.
Alguna vez quisiera tener una casa como la que se ve en la imagen: sin impedimentos que limiten la necesidad del libre movimiento, de entrar y salir sin que me acompañe la sombra del miedo a resultar herida. De hecho, creo que voy a poner todo mi empeño en conseguirlo, :-)

Thanks everyone for your regular visits and kind comments!! This is sort of special, today being my first B'Day (real one) after joining Flickr (not too sure about my Flickr birthday though).
Looking back on the past year, I know I can be VERY GRATEFUL for the wonderful people (and not just photographers) that I have come to know, and the beautiful friends that I have been blessed with (close and not so close, but all SPECIAL in their own way! :) ). I would be more than happy if the next year holds the same promises if not more! (Its not right to be too choosy you know!)
Last but definitely not the least, a special thanks to dear Riri for sharing my joy !! Riri, you are not just a friend but an ASSET !! :-)
(I know this pic is a little dark to grace the occasion, but I don't have too many pics right now....and this came out as the brightest!)

La spiaggia del Pevero o Piccolo Pevero (separata da quella più ampia del Grande Pevero) si trova nella località omonima del comune di Arzachena. L'arenile si presenta con un fondo di sabbia fine e chiara, circondata da scogli e scogliere. La suggestiva spiaggetta, situata nella parte centrale del golfo, si apre alla vista delle bellissime Isole Li Nibani. È circondata dai cespugli della profumata macchia mediterranea, in mezzo ad acque limpidissime che offrono colorazioni varie con sfumature dell'azzurro
Come arrivare - Uscire da Olbia sulla S.S. 125 per Palau e dopo 7,2 km svoltare a destra in direzione Costa Smeralda (S.P. 73), continuando per 7,6 km sino al bivio di San Pantaleo dove si gira a destra imboccando la S.P. 94. Dopo 8 km., si trova il bivio per Cala di Volpe: svoltare a sinistra e proseguire per 1,5 km. sino al bivio per Abbiadori. A questo punto si gira a destra sulla S.P 59 in direzione Porto Cervo e dopo aver percorso meno di due km. bisogna svoltare a destra per Piccolo Pevero e proseguire ancora per 400 metri. Qui si lascia l'auto e si continua a piedi per 350 metri sino a raggiungere la spiaggia (a metà percorso si deve oltrepassare una sbarra).

We attended a landscape photo workshop yesterday (Sunday). Not too close - 4hr drive to location in South Moravia, Czech Rep. so we had to wake up at 4am and got back home too tired around 11pm. But it was so worth it. Location was stunning and well known by the pro photographer who was leading the workshop. And he even managed to secure ideal weather somehow LOL. Area was full of rolling hills that are used for agriculture so the fields were vibrant and varied. Sky was nice and blue almost all day with those puffy white clouds moving very fast in the strong wind and that resulted in an amazing light&shadow show on the fields.
At one moment I spotted a triangle illuminated in the sea of shadows so I immediately turned the ball head on my tripod, prefocused manually, adjusted polarizer & 1-stop hard edge grad filter, set the exposure and fired. Post process included only the adjustment of the levels to achieve better contrast, tiny bit of saturation and square crop.
Didn't have time to play with all the photos yet but this one is my personal winner - at least I think so ;) Anyways... expect more photos soon.
Thanks for looking!
Your feedback is always appreciated ;)
I am terribly sorry but my connection ADSL is out-service for the moment and my modem in 56K does not enable me to remain a long time on Flickr and to answer your questions, emails and invitations. I hope that the problem will be solved soon and I wish you pleasant Sunday :)

Do you see the hidden Easter bonus?
I won't be around much today. It is my kid's spring break and we are heading for the beach. The hotel does have wi-fi so I may be able to peek in occasionally. If not, I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week.
I chose purple for today in remembrance of our Lord's suffering as He died on the cross for our sins. Remember the true meaning of Easter as you celebrate this weekend and if you don't know the true meaning....then I pray you find it. :0)
We arrived in Tahoe early in the afternoon, did the whirlwind tour of Tahoe. What a pretty day, sunny, warm and party cloudy. Our first goal was to scout out the location of known photo ops, but also to find some new ones. We found several areas that we are going to go back to when the weather is better. A few parts in the back country, which I am really happy about. Since I have been trying to get Jim to go on a back packing trip for years.
Our scouting led us into Nevada to look for the elusive bonsai rock. Luckily, I had a GPS with the coordinates. So I set the GPS to navigate, so we would know how close we were to the parking/trailhead as we drove south. I looked over the edge of the cliff and could see bonsai, but the GPS still said 4.2 miles, then after another minute of driving the GPS beeped to illustrate that we were there. Oh well, just goes to show that technology still has a way to go.
We took the long straight down, boulder hoping route to bonsai. With camera gear, wading boots and extra warm clothes in tow... it was a bit of a journey. Luckily, we spent a few hours there, so the trip was worth it.
I posting an image from twilight, since Jim's sunset can not be beat.
