Je rentre chez moi après une journée de boulot déprimante... pas le moral. Je tourne la tête et voilà ce que je vois par ma fenêtre : Le beffroi de l'hôtel de ville de Lille avec un magnifique arc en ciel ! Mère nature nous réserve parfois de petites surprises pour nous remettre de bonne humeur :)

I came back home after a depressing working day... I was feeling very down. I stared out the window and saw this : the Lille town hall bell tower with this magnificient rainbow ! Sometimes mother nature gives us some good surprises to give us our good mood back :)

I recently visited Morro Bay , specifically Morro strait a section of beach that words can barely descibe. Kids, dogs, and coulples just walking along this beach cannot help but be awestruck by the immense size of the rock and the atmosphere it seems to generate. The waves lap along the shore and the sun seems to just hover and play with the outline of the rock. Here is the series of shot I took this day as the sun slowly went down.
a must see for anyone visiting pismo beach or highway 1 on the California coastline. PS the riders of these horses asked me to post this as they said "they have no shots of them riding on this beach" I hope this finds you well.
"Hey dude."
"Hey Gilles, long time no see."
"Can I ask a favour?"
"Sure"
"You know those pictures you took of me and Ian?"
"Yeah... and then the band broke up?"
"Yeah, that's how it goes. I was wondering, they were really sweet shots. Could you take some of just me? I'm doing a solo thing now and I need shots for posters and advertising."
"Sure, yeah, no problem. When?"
"Heh.. tomorrow? I need them real bad for the weekend."
"The weekend! Uh, how about Thursday? I'm pretty busy tonight."
"Can we do Wednesday? Then if Wednesday's weather is no good we can fall back to Thursday."
"Sure, ok. Uhm, can do I think."
Hope he likes them.
P.S. - if anyone can think of a band name for Gilles please let me know. We're all racking brains trying to think of something. Any ideas appreciated (well, almost).
And as always comments and criticism appreciated! Could definitely use feedback on these shots!

ENGLISH
Castel Nuovo (English: "New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino is a medieval castle located in front of Piazza Municipio and the city hall (Palazzo San Giacomo) in central Naples, Campania, Italy. Its scenic location and imposing size makes the castle, first erected in 1279, one of the main architectural landmarks of the city. It was a royal seat for kings of Naples, Aragon and Spain until 1815.
It is the headquarters of Neapolitan Society of Homeland History and of the Naples Committee of the Institute for the History of the Italian Risorgimento. In the complex there is also the civic museum, which includes the Palatine Chapel and the museum paths on the first and second floors.

ESPAÑOL
El Castel Nuovo (Castillo Nuevo), conocido popularmente como Maschio Angioino (Torreón angevino), es un castillo medieval italiano construido en la ciudad de Nápoles.
Su edificación data de la época de Carlos de Anjou, quien tras su ascenso al trono de los reinos de Nápoles y Sicilia en 1266 trasladó la capital desde Palermo a Nápoles; a pesar de que ya existían en la ciudad el Castel dell'Ovo y el Castel Capuano, Carlos dispuso la elección de otro castillo donde albergar su corte. En 1279 comenzaron las obras de construcción bajo la dirección del arquitecto francés Pierre de Chaule, siendo terminado al cabo de tres años el castillo. Debido a las revueltas ocurridas durante las vísperas sicilianas, el castillo permaneció deshabitado hasta 1285, cuando fue ocupado por Carlos II de Anjou.
En 1294 fue escenario de la abdicación del papa Celestino V y la elección de su sucesor Bonifacio VIII; bajo el reinado de Roberto I de Nápoles (1309-1343) el castillo fue ampliado y embellecido. En 1347 fue saqueado por las tropas de Luis I de Hungría y hubo de ser restaurado antes del regreso de Juana I de Nápoles.
Durante el reinado de Alfonso V de Aragón, de la dinastía aragonesa, fue reforzado para resistir el batir de la nueva artillería, en desarrollo en aquellas fechas. En esa época se construyó el arco triunfal de la puerta principal.
El castillo fue nuevamente atacado en 1494 por las tropas francesas de Carlos VIII durante la primera guerra de Nápoles, y en 1503 por las fuerzas españolas de Pedro Navarro, bajo las órdenes de Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, durante la segunda guerra de Nápoles. Con la anexión de Nápoles a la corona de Aragón en la condición de virreinato en 1504, el castillo perdió su función de residencia real, que no recuperaría hasta 1734, cuando Carlos VII de Nápoles (más tarde, Carlos III de España) tomase posesión del trono napolitano.

So show a little inspiration
show a little spark
show the world a little act when you show it your heart
we've got two lives--one we're given,
and the other one we make
and the world won't stop
and actions speak louder
listen to your heart.

The church was built on the site, around the year 600AD the present church is mostly of around 1500, but there are said to be signs of a much earlier, perhaps 8th century building here. Dendrochronological dating suggests a felling date of 1502-1530 for the roof timbers.
wall paintings that can be seen today, are post- mediaeval.Most impressive is the "memento mori", the figure of Death, on the west wall, rediscovered in 2003. It shows a traditional skeletal figure holding a scythe and standing over a grave in which a skull and bones can be seen. It was probably painted in the 16th or 17th century. the upper portion was cut away, presumably when a gallery was built against the west wall.
a very rare survival is the wooden double horse- bier . these were used in the mountainous regions of Wales and Scotland, for the easier transportation of the dead from remote farms , for burial. this one continued in use here into the 20th century.(dates back to the seventeen hundreds)
In the period from 1618 , over 2500 burials are recorded in the small patch of ground. today there are 270 gravestones . only a few burials took place after 1842.the oldest surviving legible stone is marked "KO1696 "
Abram Wood, the gypsy king, was buried here in 1799.
the church stands on a cliff, some 1300 feet above the sea, at the foot of Cefn Bodgadfan overlooking Cardigan Bay.
today the church has one service per month.

pls try to listen to the Hymn,my friends :
Lord, keep my heart always true to You
Lord, keep my heart always true to You,
Never backsliding, always viewing You,
A heart that is pure that sees only You,
A heart that loves You and treasures only You.
Your love constrains me to give my all to You.
Lord, I can't help it; my heart is drawn to You.
Oh what a privilege! I give myself to You!
I love You, Lord, dearest Lord.
I love You! I just love You!
Lord, keep my love burning brightly for You,
A love never dwindling always hot for You,
A love, shining brighter all the way for You,
A love, so fresh like the day I first touched You.
Lord, take my life, I present it to You!
If I had a thousand, I'd pour all on You!
Nothing withholding, my all is for You.
My life and my future, dear Lord, is all for You.
Ex #6 Again not the shot I set out to get, tide was too high when I got here, bla bla bla. I had been on the beach for an hour and a half without one successful shot before I took shelter behind the old harbour wall to get this. The exposure is a bit too long as I lost a lot of detail in the clouds, but it was the only shot I got, i live and learn.

Fall colours at Deer Lake in Burnaby near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: Fall is my favourite season and that season starts tomorrow! I am so excited and can't wait for the leaves to change colours soon. In the mean time I will share a photo I took last year around mid October at beautiful Deer Lake in Burnaby near Vancouver. This place is only about 10-15 minute drive from my place, so I will be checking it out over there frequently and hope that the colours will be as vibrant this year as well.

Some information on Deer Lake Park: Burnaby is a city which belongs to the Greater Vancouver area and is about 10-15 minutes from downtown Vancouver. Deer Lake is a relaxing 5 kilometre/3 mile walk around an urban lake just outside of Vancouver. The walking trail around the lake is good any time of year and is very popular with dog walkers in and around Burnaby. Trails in the park lead to a kids playground, washrooms, a boat launch and picnic tables. In the summer months Deer Lake Boat Rentals offers canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals. Gas or electric motors are not allowed on this lake.
Deer Lake is also home to the Burnaby Art Gallery, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby Village Museum and Century Gardens. The Burnaby Art Gallery manages the City of Burnaby's permanent art collection while the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is a multi-purpose community arts facility providing public exhibitions, performances, festivals and art classes. The Burnaby Village Museum depicts life in the area from the 1920's. They have reconstructed 31 full scale buildings over 10 acres, with staff in costumes like in the 1920's.
Deer Lake Park is a great place for outdoor activities and cultural life in Burnaby. Whether you want to visit an art gallery or see an outdoor concert, Deer Lake Park is the place you will find it. Your kids will love the park for the beach, the playground, the water activities and the Burnaby Village Museum. In the summer months the park comes alive with outdoor concerts and lake activities and in the off season it is a relaxing park to go for a quiet walk around the scenic trails.
A difficult time of the year to be a photographer in this part of the world, but you make do with what you got. Here, I liked the light on the pole and its reflections in the water, then it was a matter of composing it with the edge of the ice.
We found this wonderful and mystic location at the last day of our vacation. It is located at the shore of Los Hervideros, where the lava of the Timanfaya eruption flew into the ocean. The picture was taken at low tide, so you can see both, the rounded pepples and rocks in the foreground and the sharp-edged lava in the background.
It was hard for us to say goodbye to Lanzarote at this place, on the other hand it is a great incentive to come back again.
I wanted to title this picture in spanish and hope it's passably okay :-)

To be serious, one of my top-ten super hero movies is definitely Big Hero 6. It has a great storyline despite that it's made for kids. Furthermore the animations are really well done and the emotions of the characters are captured perfectly. In addition all the scenes in the movie are filled with a lot of nice details.
The fact that they used a Fall out Boy song makes everything even better!
I especially liked how they designed Hiro's Workshop. It's full of stuff.
Now with a SuperHero competition on Imperium der Steine I had the chance to build it in Lego.

Brought back these Parrot tulips from the Continent... they were very fresh, kept them in the cool and dark, they survived 6 days and our travels, enough for me to still be able to photograph them.
They are so curvy and capricious and gorgeously unique...
More to come... lol
THANX for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, too many to be returned (sadly, however I DO try!... )
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.

Peratallada que ha sido declarada conjunto histórico artístico, es uno de los núcleos más importantes del Ampurdán en cuanto a arquitectura medieval se refiere. De un extraordinario atractivo y belleza, conserva su antiguo aspecto feudal, donde hay que destacarn el castillo fortificado con su torre del homenaje y el palacio (s. XI-XIV), las murallas (s. XII-XIII) y la iglesia de San Esteban (románica, de principios del s. XII ). Llama la atención el gran foso que rodea a esta localidad, excavado en la roca viva. De aquí procede el nombre de la Villa: Piedra Tallada.
La villa conserva la misma distribución urbana medieval: desde la Plaza Mayor, con sus singulares porches, hasta la trama de estrechas callejuelas, donde descubriremos un interesante conjunto de arquitectura popular.
Peratallada that has been declared historical artistic, is one of the most important nuclei Ampurdán about medieval architecture is concerned. In a special attraction and beauty, retains its old feudal aspect, where destacarn that the castle with its tower and the palace of the tribute (s. XI-XIV), walls (s. XII-XIII) and the church of San Esteban (Romance of the early twelfth century). Draws attention to the great moat that surrounds the town, dug into the rock. Hence the name of the Town: Stone carving.
The village retains the same distribution medieval city: from Piazza Maggiore, with its unique porch, until the fabric of narrow streets, where they discover a set of interesting architecture.
Another experiment with my shadow on the frothy leading edge of waves rolling onto a sandy Brazilian beach. I really liked how the movement in the waves emphasized the swirling movement of my sarong as I was walking in the wind. Praia de Itapoá - Itapoá (SC), Brazil
Have a wonderful Friday and thank you for visiting.
Hong-Kong
Tai O
Also known as the "Venice of Hong Kong", Tai O is also a hot tourist spot for both foreigners and residents of other parts of Hong Kong, despite damage by a fire in July 2000. The pang uks, a kind of stilt house, built right over the waterway are still quite scenic. A rope bridge tended by local women used to be quite popular with visitors, but it has been replaced with a steel pedestrian bridge.
The traditional salted fish and shrimp paste and storefronts at Tai O. For a small fee, some residents will take tourists out on their boats along the river and for short jaunts into the sea. Many tourists come to Tai O specifically to take these trips to see Chinese white dolphins. It is also a good place to see the sunset.

Five baby roseate spoonbills share this nursery. Actually, there was a sixth baby about two feet to left of these. I'm sure they were a mix from two nests. It seemed that the birds were all getting fed. The adults came in regularly and I couldn't tell one adult from another, because I didn't know the individual birds. There is one fairly easy way to ID individual birds. That is the coloration of the black band/area on their head.....each has a different pattern that is unique to each bird. This is a very early morning shot with fairly low light.

Inspired by Tanjeer Bhai's Dew Drops On Spider Web. I was in my host family's place today, so after seeing Tanjeer bhai's spider web picture, I figured I should shoot some spiders too! So out I went with my all knowing ten year old host sister, Christiana. She spotted this spider web within a few seconds, and we tried sprinkling some water on the web to mimic dew drops (with miserable outcome). The water just would not stick on the web (next time I will try some viscous liquid!). Anyway, this is a "non dew drop" spider web picture, and Miss S. Pider seems to be engrossed building her elaborate trap!
Una delle mie preferite. L'espressione femminile islamica. Perdente, sottomessa e infinitamente triste... Direi orgogliosamente disperata.
Da occidentale non posso che "assistere" alla nullità femminile dei paesi islamici, Marocco incluso.
Sono stato in alcune case marocchine, sia di città che di montagna, e nel deserto. E assicuro che le donne non contano nulla. O meglio, non contano nulla umanamente. Per il resto, naturalmente, hanno la loro funzione sociale, materiale e affettiva ma sempre in subordine all'uomo e alla polizia governativa.
Ho visto le donne lavorare nei campi (cioè nel deserto) tornare su camion scoperti ammassate come bestie. Ho visto i bar pieni di uomini e basta. Le donne non possono accedervi. Le donne non possono contrattare soldi. Le donne non possono "scegliere" quasi nulla.
Per quanto il nuovo Re, salito al trono per discendenza diretta nel 1998 (mi pare) sia un occidentalista convinto, i marocchini ad uno stadio, molto più moderno degli altri stati islamici, sono ben lungi da considerare le donne delle "persone" a tutti gli effetti. Certo, col passare degli anni, saliranno fino alla parità. Ma al momento chi parla di parità, esprime un commento decisamente edulcorato. Tuttavia è corretto ritenere il Marocco uno degli stati più avanzati in questo senso e quel conta di più in fortissima crescita economica e civile.
Dopo aver visto coi miei occhi il Marocco, non voglio immaginare cosa siano gli altri stati più integralisti con le donne...

why sayonara? greeks use this japanese word, for flip-flops, as they look like the traditional footwear.
after a tiring overnight ferry ride, our patience was thin. we couldn't wait for a longer drive and headed for the most local beach at vrontados.

One of the things I love the most about photography is how as a photographer you are in total control to tell a story through the picture. The mood, setting, as well as the feelings the picture portrays are all completely within your control. How you compose and capture a particular scene can tell such a different story from one photograph to another.
This photograph and my previous post linked below are a great example of how by simply changing a few minor elements, I was able to drastically change not only the mood, but the emotion the scene conveys. Both photographs from this location were taken on the same morning. In fact, no more than five minutes separates the two shots. As well the photographs were taken from within ten feet of each other, and yet they convey such different scenes to the viewer.
The composition of my earlier post conveys a sense of order and symmetry. The smoothed out long exposure water adds a sense of calm to the scene. The B&W conversion further adds to the lack of drama and emphasizes a smoothness and flow from front to back. Overall the image conveys that sense of peace throughout.
In comparison the composition of this image conveys a sense of asymmetry and disorder. The motion of the water and waves exploding on the foreground pier adds a sense of danger and excitement. The raw power of the waves building in the ocean amplifies the drama of the scene. Lastly the warmer red and yellow colors on the horizon convey a sense of warmth and energy.
To me, this is the true heart of photography, the ability to capture and convey the emotion of a scene in a manner that it tells a unique story.
I always appreciate your critique on any of my images, as it helps me to improve.

day three hundred and sixty five.
Explored.
Three hundred and sixty five—what it is to me; it’s planning my day around my self portrait instead of trying to fit time to shoot into my day, it’s loving my camera like a friend, it’s creativity ruts as well as shots I’m still proud of, it’s a journal of my thoughts, it’s a new obsession with my favorite friend, it’s learning to not care what you look like, it’s the joy of finding music lyrics to suit whatever mood you're trying to portray, it’s what forces you to see every single thing as beautiful (and never be able to undo that), it’s rushing to take a photo at 11:50 at night and waking up before the sun, it’s finding motivation in everyone else’s project, it’s truly understanding how simultaneously lasting and fleeting a year really is.
Kaleigh, thank you, thank you. A thousand times over. For getting me started, for keeping me going, thank you.
this is the end,
you gentle friend.
this is the end, my only friend, the end
of our elaborate plans, the end
of everything that stands, the end
no safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes
again.
this is the end,
you gentle friend.
this is the end, my only friend, the end.
it hurts to set you free
but you'll never follow me
the end of laughter
and soft lies
the end of nights we tried to die;
PS: this shot was insane. I had to climb up 50 feet of almost vertical rock in the blazing sun all the while trying not to slip on sea water or get pelted with ginormous waves. I also had to wear a long sleeved shirt in the tropics.
PPS: good luck Adriana. :)

I could have a mansion that is higher than the trees
I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please
I could fly to Paris, oh, it's at my beck and call
why do I go through life with nothing at all?
But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true
I can be the singer or the clown in every room
I can even call someone to take me to the moon
I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane
I can go to bed alone and never know his name
But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true
But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true
This was my view on my drive to work on the morning of Monday, 20 November 2006 at about 7.15 am. Some things just need to be photographed.

Parc Natural del Cadí-Moixeró.Pyrenees. Catalonia.
Check it out my Portfolio: GETTY IMAGES
Maybe you like this: / Facebook / 500px
*The Cadi-Moixero Natural Park was set up by the Generalitat de Catalunya (the Catalan government) in a decree issued on 15 July 1983 in response to a request from the Catalan Parliament. It comprises a group of pre-Pyrenean mountains: the ranges of Cadi and Moixero, the mount of Pedraforca and much of the Tosa d'Alp and Puigllançada mountains.
It covers an area of 41,342 hectares (150.6 sq. miles) and straddles the borders of three comarques: Berguedà, Alt Urgell and Cerdanya.
The aim of the decree was to ensure the protection of this area of high mountain peaks, which is of the utmost interest on account of its geological features and its plant and animal life. The natural park formula was chosen because it is possible thereby to plan and provide for all the relevant factors - such as conservation of the environment and promotion of natural resources - so as to render fulfilment of the ecological objectives compatible with the social and economic well-being of the local population.

Uma pequena pausa para as fotos de Paraty... testando um laser trigger que planejo usar em conjunto com o sound trigger em um novo setup que estou trabalhando.
A moeda é de 10 centavos de dolar, também conhecida como "dime", um pouco menor que a moeda de 1 centavo de Real.
3 flashes usados nessa foto, 430EX, MR14-EX e Sunpak 383, todos disparados com o Cactus conectado a um laser trigger.
O disparo remoto da 40d com live view pelo computador é sensacional, ajudou muito.
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...

Venezia | Italia
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,
beso, libro, caricia,
corta su deliciosa fragancia de madera
y de ella hazte una silla,
trenza su respaldo,
pruébala, o bien escalera!
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
como una estrella, tócala,
híncale el diente
y ándate silbando en el camino.
Pablo Neruda
