I am for the time being, concentrating on my artistic work. Therefore, I'm asking you not to post either comments or invites to my photostream since I will not have the time to respond or follow-up. I will, however, continue to invite photographs to my group. If you need to contact me, please do so via Flickrmail.
Ho deciso, almeno per il momento, di non fare più inserire commenti alle mie foto. Il tentare di rispondere a tutti mi porta via molto tempo che devo sottrarre alla mia ricerca artistica.Continuerò ad invitare le foto e i lavori, che a me appaiono meritevoli, nei miei gruppi. Chi volesse contattarmi mi può sempre scrivere tramite Flickrmail
Gracias al Photoshop, podemos hacer que nuestras fotos antiguas, pasen a formar parte de esta era digital, después de escánear esta foto mía de cuando era chiquitito, he intantado quitarle algunons desperfectos, no se lo he quitado todos, pero bueno, he ajustado niveles, desenfoques, ajustes de curvas, capa de saturación, capa de opacidad, y por ultimo un enfoque muy leve, cuando ya he tenido más o menos a gusto la tonalidad, le he aplicado una textura al sofá, para darle una nueva sensación de foto de estudio, y este ha sido el resultado.
Nota: En el primer comentario os dejo la foto escaneada.

Explore # 56 Aug 13, 2009 .................Bottlenose dolphin View On Black
Atlantic Bottle Nosed Dolphin.................. Has to be seen in original size!
Nose Dip will give you an idea :-)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bottlenose dolphins, the genus Tursiops, are the most common and well-known members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphins. Recent molecular studies show the genus contains two species, the Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), where previous thought was that this was one species. Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate seas worldwide.
Bottlenose dolphins live in groups called pods that typically number about 15 dolphins, but group size varies from solitary bottlenose dolphins up to groups of over 100 or even occasionally over 1000 animals. Their diet consists mainly of forage fish. Dolphin groups often work as a team to harvest schools of fish, but they also hunt individually. Dolphins search for prey primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. They emit clicking sounds and listen for the return echo to determine the location and shape of nearby items, including potential prey. Bottlenose dolphins also use sound for communication. Sounds used for communication include squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body language, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water.
There have been numerous investigations of bottlenose dolphin intelligence. Such testing has included tests of mimicry, use of artificial language, object categorization and self-recognition. This intelligence has driven considerable interaction with humans. Bottlenose dolphins are popular from aquarium shows and television programs such as Flipper. They have also been trained by militaries for tasks such as locating sea mines or detecting and marking enemy divers. In some areas they cooperate with local fishermen by driving fish towards the fishermen and eating the fish that escape the fishermen's nets. Some encounters with humans are harmful to the dolphins: people hunt bottlenose dolphins for food, and dolphins are killed inadvertently as a bycatch of tuna fishing. A bottlenose dolphins can jump up 16 feet out of the water.[citation needed]
The Palace of Fine Arts was built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, which was held in San Francisco. None of the buildings were meant to be permanent. However, the Palace of Fine Arts was so beautiful that it was not torn down after the fair. Miraculously, the palace survived the 1989 earthquake with little damage. The Beaux-Arts style structure features and dome and Roman-style curved colonnades. Surrounding the palace is a park with a duck pond. Adjacent to the palace is the San Francisco Exploratorium, which is a discovery museum with hands-on exhibits on science, art and human perception.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS:
"The Palace was not designed as 'a Valentine for San Francisco.' Maybeck visualized its colonnade streaming with people, finding a reward within the great doors."
The task of creating a Palace of Fine Arts for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition fell to the architect Bernard R. Maybeck, then fifty years old and known for his innovative ideas. Setting to work on this new project, he chose as his theme a Roman ruin, mutilated and overgrown, in the mood of a Piranesi engraving. But this ruin was not to exist solely for itself to show "the mortality of grandeur and the vanity of human wishes .... " Although it was meant to give delight by its exterior beauty, its purpose was also to offer all visitors a stimulating experience within doors.
In playing host to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, The Fair, which opened on February 20, 1915, San Francisco was honoring the discovery of the Pacific Ocean and the completion of the Panama Canal; it was also celebrating its own resurrection after the shattering earthquake and fire of 1906.
The problems of choosing the exact site in the city had finally been overcome and groundwork had been going on for some time. Last of the buildings to be erected, on the lagoon and close by a group of Monterey cypresses, was Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts. With its exhibition hall to house the work of living artists (dominated by the Impressionists), its colonnade, and its rotunda -- plans for all of which had dazzled the Commissioners when the huge brown-paper sketch was put before them -- it fulfilled the architect's dream: it was as beautiful reflected in the water as it was against the sky. And when the Palace was completed (Roman in style although a freely-interpreted, purely romantic conception, and Greek in decorative treatment) its exceptional harmony gave it instant appeal to the public.
After taking oodles of sunrise shots, was strolling back to hubby snoozing (he said!!!)LOL!! in the car!!! When I saw this house with the sunrise rays dancing on the walls, casting beautiful shadows, had to, absolutely had to snap some shots for HDR!!! I got some different cool effects with few different settings and they all reminded me of Halloween!! Since we greet each other by "Happy", so here is a pre Happy Halloween scene for you guys!!!
Don't have a house but dreaming to own one like this is priceless!!! Specially facing the water canal!!!
Just imagine my previous post's sunrise rays caressing this house!!!

Vilafamés és un municipi del País Valencià que es troba a la comarca de la Plana Alta (Castelló de la Plana).
Va pertànyer històricament al Maestrat de Montesa. Fou conquistada la plaça el 1233 per les tropes reials, i donada a poblar el 30 d'agost del 1241 a G. Ramon de Viella i d'altres. Englobava dins del seu territori els llocs de Moró i Vall d'Alba (aquest últim s'independitzaria com a municipi el 1925), passant cap el 1264 a poder dels santjoanistes. En fundar-se l'orde de Montesa, va revertir al seu senyoriu, seguint les vicissituds històriques dels pobles montesians. Fou unionista i agermanada, en contra del seu senyor, el maestre. Contra la pròpia orde s'enfrontaria al consistori de Vilafamés l'any 1635, quan hom va sol·licitar a la Santa Seu la compra de la jurisdicció alfonsina, incorporant-se des d'aleshores al Patrimoni Reial. Durant les guerres carlines del XIX Vilafamés fou escenari en repetides ocasions de les escaramusses hagudes entre isabelins i les tropes comandades per Cabrera, Serrador i Forcadell.
ESP:
Vilafamés es un municipio del País Valencià situado en la provincia de Castelló, en la comarca de la Plana Alta.
Ocupa una posición estratégica sobre lo alto de una mole que forma parte del extremo septentrional de la Sierra de les Conteses. Esta ubicación le confiere amplias vistas sobre el llano que se extiende a sus pies y los paisajes circundantes. A su vez, su posición a medio paso entre las tierras del interior y el litoral, hace que el municipio disponga de las características propias de una población de interior con las ventajas que supone su proximidad a la costa por lo que goza de las características climáticas propias de una población mediterránea, con inviernos suaves y veranos calurosos.
Las primeras evidencias de ocupación del entorno de Vilafamés, se centran en los hallazgos arqueológicos realizados en él , donde se localizaron restos antropológicos. Sus orígenes se remontan al Pleistoceno Medio, según el descubrimiento de los restos del llamado "homo erectus vilafamensis" en la Cova de Dalt del Tossal de la Font con una antigüedad de 80.000 años. Una continuidad en la ocupación del medio estaría reflejada en la Cova del Matutano, yacimiento del Paleolítico Superior. Las primeras manifestaciones artísticas aparecen con las pinturas esquemáticas de la Edad del Bronce.
Por lo que respecta al núcleo urbano, el mismo topónimo AVilahameç, ABeniffamez, denota su origen en época musulmana. De este periodo se conservan entre otros elementos, la cimentación del castillo que corona el cerro sobre el que se asienta el municipio y el trazado urbano de la zona contigua al mismo, de estrechas callejuelas tortuosas. Quedan asimismo vestigios de las antiguas fortificaciones constituidas por lienzos de muralla y restos de torres.
♪♫Flores amarillas♪♫, de Floricienta.
Sí, sí... era verdad. Es verdad. La carroza de la Cenicienta estaba compuesta por dos enormes calabazas. Así se quedaron después de la rapidez con la que tuvieron que volver a la mansión de la madrastra malvada cuando sonaron las 12 de la noche.
Las pobres están pensando en retirarse: son conscientes de que ningún chapista de calabazas-carrozas va a poder arreglar semejantes desperfectos. Quizás se presten a colaborar en alguna fiesta infantil de las que ahora tan de moda se han puesto, pero por lo que me contaron ayer, no termina de convencerles eso de ir dando miedo por la vida, después de haber trabajado como carrozas de lujo en sueños de Príncipes y Princesas...

Red-winged Blackbird
Present throughout Canada during the nesting period, the Red-winged Blackbird nests in all the southern regions of Quebec and the Maritimes, and increasingly spends its winters in the northern United States. It prefers to settle in open and humid places, such as ditches, reed mace marshes and stream or river banks, but will also nest in drier terrain, in pasture and cultivated fields. Its diet varies with the seasons, but it feeds mainly on insects and cultivated seeds, including corn. Besides, it is a menace for farmers who find their fields ravaged by this bird. But in spite of everything, it still does them some great services, such as attacking the insects that destroy their newly-planted crops. The Red-winged Blackbird reaches 19 to 26 cm in length.

So this Diorama spawned because of the last one I built. This was done simply because I felt the tiny diorama needed a friend. I had so much fun building the tank, I'm very proud of it! I actually totally forgot to put an Aayla Secura Figure in this Diorama (I currently have one on the way that I just bought, so it'll be here real soon and I'll post an updated photo of the MOC with her in it)
The tree design on this MOC was very different for me, used a lot of SNOT and Mixel Joints and I think the design is really cool, it needs to be played with more but I figured I'd test it in this built and expand on things later :)
Next up is another Bionicle, then another Clone Wars MOC, Just the one though, there won't be 'Five' of them, but they will 'Echo' some of my favourite episodes (WINK WINK)

Taken on a trek to 4 Waterfalls with a friend from work Tony its his first visit to the amazing waterfalls in South Wales
No HDR for this shot was taken 7.05am as the skies were changing colour and yes ive desaturated it in CS2
Never been happy with anything from this place
Its one awesome waterfall and one hard trek - The issue is here its a head on shot for the best angle .We did park up by The Angel pub to go to Ddwli & Gwladys but at the last minute i changed my mind :-) Note to self when you go next time purchase a torch
Taken with my 450d as my 5D Mark II is still in the repair shop at Canon
Another note to myself below this waterfall is a series of small waterfalls that require a visit soon :-)

This is an interesting little place; a long, two-story building with a half-sunken basement in what is now a really rough industrial neighborhood, it had obviously in it's past at one point been used by a company called Austin Industries, based on the reams of files and cancelled checks found in several of the rooms. At some point a few years ago though, it had been repurposed as a band rehearsal studio complex, and throughout the building there were posters, handbills, and flyers to that effect. Interestingly, when I found out about this abandonment, I thought that it sounded like a place I had rehearsed with a band several years earlier (I’m a musician when I’m not photographing), and sure enough, it was! It was interesting to see it again, abandoned, in total darkness, and trashed beyond recognition.
Here's an aerial view if you're interested in how it looks externally.
The east end of the basement was under a few inches of water from a broken pipe that was leaking at a pretty good rate; frankly, I was surprised the water was still on, as the place had obviously not been used in some time and had been scavenged and trashed by vandals and appeared to be the home of a few homeless folks from time to time...fortunately not while Phil and I were there though.
It took quite a while for us to explore the whole place; 3 floors with lots of little rooms on each side of the long hallway, most of which were filled with some sort of trash of one sort or another; a bass drum case here, a mannequin there, a tacky guitar-clock here...lots to see! So the extended exploration coupled with technical difficulties we were both experiencing that night really cut down on our photo ops.
This is a place I wouldn't want to go back to without a mask or respirator of some sort; there's basically zero ventilation, as all the windows and doors are boarded up (well, except for one!), and with all the trash, water mildew, residue, possibly asbestos and who knows what else...it seemed like a good place to develop some respiratory issues.
Night, very, very slight amount of ambient sodium through the block glass window, blue, green, and red-gelled strobes, LED flashlight and mini-maglite. White-balanced at 2500K.

Our workshop group hiked the 1.5 miles upward to the Delicate Arch for a sunset shoot. The hike at 5600 ft was not easy but I was rewarded with this incredible scene.
The Lasal Mountains are on the horizon.
For composition, I did not place the arch in the center of the frame but slightly off-center. I moved back and forth until I got the mountain peaks just where I wanted them through the arch. I also included some of the formation on the left. The sandstone plateua slopes gently downward to the right, giving some nice diagonal lines to the composition.
The far side of this arch is a shear drop into the canyon beyond, which is why you never see any images of the arch from that side.
It is difficult to get the scale of this arch. I will post an image next with a person in it for scale. When you get up close to this arch, it is anything but delicate. It is massive and the western leg is very thick. I guess it was named Delicate Arch because it looks that way from a distance.
Fastnet Rock (Irish: An Charraig Aonair, meaning Rock of Solitude or Lonesome Rock) is a small clay-slate island with quartz veins and the most southerly point of Ireland, 6.5 km southwest of Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chléire) in County Cork, which is itself 13 km (8 miles) from the mainland. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean 11.3 km south of mainland County Cork, at latitude 51.37°N. It rises to about 30 m above low water mark. Study of the documentary record suggests that the name is from Old Norse Hvastann-ey 'sharp tooth island'.
Divided into Fastnet Rock proper and the much smaller Little Fastnet to the south by a 10 m (30 ft) wide channel, it also had the nickname 'Ireland's Teardrop' as it was the last part of the country seen by Irish emigrants to the United States in the 19th century as they sailed past it.

Foto tomada en el final del cañón del río Lobos, justo donde nace el río Ucero.
Era domingo por la mañana, con bastante frío... y qué mejor que ir a la Ermita de San Bartolome de Ucero, claro con la nevada.. el camino estaba completamente blanco. Decir que no fui el único valiente que decidió caminar por la nieve, había bastantes paseantes. Primer paso fue dejar el coche a la entrada del cañón y subir andando, ya que la pista estaba completamente blanca e incluso helada en alguna zona.
Río Ucero: El río Ucero nace en el Manadero de "La Galiana", también llamado "Manantial de la Galiana", "Fuente de la Galiana" y "Nacedero del río Ucero", que se encuentra situado a la salida del Cañón del río Lobos.
El río Lobos, que nace en la provincia de Burgos, recoge las escorrentías y drenajes subterráneos de los materiales no permeables y de alguna pequeña fuente kárstica.
Al llegar a la Sierra de Cabrejas se encuentra con materiales calizos del Cretácico y se encaja en un angosto y magnífico cañón que se prolonga hasta el Nacedero del río Ucero.
Se estima que la velocidad del agua al recorrer el acuífero es baja, aproximadamente 10 kms. a la semana (60m/h). En el Nacedero el caudal medio es de 650 l/sg, la temperatura del agua de 10º C, y posee 8,3 cm3 de oxígeno disuelto por litro de agua.

Photo taken at the end of the river Lobos Cannyon at the point where the Ucero river springs up to life.
It was a cold Sunday morning ... and there was nothing better than hiking in the snow to the San Batolome de Ucero hermitage. The road was completely covered in snow. I wasn't the only brave one to venture in the snow though - there were a lot of other hikers around. First, I had to leave the car at the beginning of the cannyon and then climb up, since the road was clomplety covered in snow and even ice in some parts.
Ucero River: The source of the river is in "La Galiana", also known as "Manantial (spring) de la Galiana", "Fuente (foutain) de la Galiana" and "Nacedero (source) del río Ucero", and is located at the end of the Lobos river cannyon.
The Lobos river, which begins in the province of Burgos, sweeps non-permeable materials from the undercurrents and runoffs as well as some karstic debri.
When it runs trhough Sierra de Cabrejas, the river collects chalk sediments from the Cretaceous period and runs through a narrow but magnificent cannyon until it reaches the source of the Ucero river.
The speed of the water is estimated to be low, aprox. 10km per week (60m/h). The average flow at the source of the river is 650l/sec/, the temperature of the water, 10º C and contains 8,3 cm3 dissolved oxygen per litre of water.

Eran las 6:00 AM del 5/08/2010 cuando despertaba y tras vestirme raudo y veloz tomaba el coche y partía hacia Albarracín, en el camino al pasar por Calamocha (Conocido en España por ser uno de los lugares que marca mínimas en invierno, alguna vez los -25ºC), observe que el coche me daba una temperatura de 10ºC(baja para ser España en Agosto), había algo de bruma ya que el día anterior llovió por la tarde. Antes quise pasar por Peracense, donde hay un castillo muy particular por lo camuflado que queda con el entorno. Y puede realizar algunas fotos antes pasar por Albarracín (di una vuelta entera por los exteriores del castillo).
Imagen desde una de las rocas que se situan al lado del castillo. Panorama compuesto por dos tomas horizontales.
Peracense
Situación: La fortaleza de Peracense se halla colgada sobre un apartado risco de la sierra Menera, en el municipio de Peracense, a unos 45 kilómetros de Teruel.
Historia: El origen de este castillo no está nada claro. Según parece, por los restos arqueológicos hallados en sus proximidades, debió de ser la defensa de un pequeño poblado medieval, conocido por los lugareños como la Villeta, lugar del que procedería la imagen medieval de la Virgen con el Niño que se conserva en la iglesia parroquial de la localidad. Según información manejada por Cristóbal Guitart ya existía en 1284, pues fue utilizado por las tropas reales como punto de partida para la conquista de Albarracín. No obstante, también se han encontrado restos celtíberos y romanos, lo que da idea de lo ancestral de su origen. La fortaleza propiamente dicha, y que podemos ver hoy día, fue edificada hacia la primera mitad del siglo XIV para uso estrictamente militar.
A pesar de su situación, ya que se encuentra mucho más próximo a Teruel que a Daroca, y justo en el límite que durante la Edad Media separaba los territorios de ambas comunidades, el castillo de Peracense estaba administrado por alcaides nombrados por la comunidad darocense. El castillo se encuentra ubicado junto al monte o peña de San Ginés, todo un hito geográfico ya señalado al citar los límites espaciales de Teruel, comunidad que se forma con parte del territorio ya conquistado a los musulmanes por las tropas de Daroca, para que quede claro hasta dónde se extienden una y otra.
La construcción del castillo de Peracense, como la de otros castillos vecinos fue fruto de la rivalidad medieval entre los reinos de Castilla y Aragón. Su misión era la de controlar uno de los posibles puntos de acceso por los que las tropas castellanas podían penetrar en Aragón en momentos de conflicto, y evitar así su llegada a todo el Valle del Jiloca y a localidades tan importantes como Santa Eulalia, Villafranca, Monreal del Campo o la propia ciudad de Teruel. No obstante, parece que el acceso de las tropas castellanas podía hacerse desde otros puntos cercanos y de más difícil defensa, de manera que este castillo apenas fue atacado ni asediado.
Una de las razones de la relativa falta de uso de este castillo es que siempre se encontró adecuadamente protegido por otros elementos defensivos del entorno, por un lado la torre de planta rectangular que se levanta en el ya citado cerro de San Ginés, el principal punto de control visual por su ubicación en una elevación del terreno dentro de un entorno eminentemente llano, y por otro el castillo de Ródenas, un gran desconocido de la castellología que sin embargo le sirvió de pantalla protectora. La más clara prueba de ello es que del de Ródenas apenas quedan los restos de algún muro en la parte superior, mientras que en el de Peracense los restos han tenido siempre mayor importancia, aun antes de la reciente restauración. Como el castillo de Ródenas sí que pertenecía a la Comunidad de Teruel, se plantea otra posibilidad, que ambos castillos se mantuvieran para proteger las posesiones de sus respectivas comunidades ante posibles conflictos entre ellas, más que dedicarse a defender Aragón de la amenaza de incursiones por parte de los castellanos.
Como ya se ha dicho, no existen citas importantes que atestigüen asedios de este castillo por parte de tropas enemigas durante la Edad Media. Hay que esperar a los episodios bélicos de la primera guerra carlista para documentar de nuevo su utilización parcial.
Descripción: El castillo de Peracense se mimetiza con el paisaje de manera que parece formar parte de él como si de un fenómeno geológico se tratara. La forma que adquiere es la de un espolón de un barco varado en la montaña del que destaca la torre principal por su altura y rotundidad.
La fortaleza es de planta curadrada irregular, ocupa unos 4.000 metros cuadrados, se divide en tres recintos concéntricos y está situada sobre una escarpada peña, siendo inexpugnable por varios de sus flancos. El recinto interior es la plaza de armas, de unos 60 x 40 metros, y en ella se puede observar una especie de nichos que debieron ser utilizados para almacenar víveres y para que los guerreros se resguardasen del frío.
Sus laderas norte y este son inexpugnables, y en el sur y oeste se levantó una muralla en forma de ángulo recto de unos 3 metros de espesor, reforzada por tres torreones rectangulares.
La entrada al castillo es un estrecho portillo al borde del precipicio. Hay saeteras y subsisten bastantes almenas. Sólo queda la pared frontal de lo que fue la Torre del Homenaje.
English:
Peracense
Situation: Peracense's strength(fortress) is hung on an isolated crag of the saw Menera, in Peracense's municipality, to approximately 45 kilometres of Teruel.
History: The origin of this castle is not not clear at all. As it seems, for the archaeological remains found in his(her,your) proximities, it was necessary to to have been the defense of a small medieval settlement, known by the villagers as the Villeta, place from which the medieval image of the Virgin would come with the Child who remains in the parochial church of the locality. According to information handled by Christopher Guitart already it existed in 1284, since it was used by the royal troops as point of item for Albarracín's conquest. Nevertheless, also they have found Celtiberian and Roman remains, which gives idea of the ancient of your origin. The strength in strict sense, and that we can see today, was built towards the first half of the 14th century for strictly military use.
In spite of your situation, since he is much more near to Teruel than to Daroca, and I joust in the limit that during the Middle Ages was separating the territories of both communities, Peracense's castle was administered by wardens named by the community darocense. The castle is located close to the mount or San Ginés's rock, the whole geographical milestone already indicated on having mentioned the spatial limits of Teruel, community that is formed by part of the territory already conquered from the Muslims by Daroca's troops, in order that it(he) remains clear up to where there spread one and other one.
The construction of Peracense's castle, since that of other neighboring castles was a fruit of the medieval rivalry among the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. Your mission was it of controlling one of the possible points of access for which the Castilian troops could penetrate in Aragon in moments of conflict, and avoid this way his(her,your) arrival to the whole Valley of the Jiloca and to localities as important as Holy Eulalia, Villafranca, Monreal of the Field or the own city of Teruel. Nevertheless, it seems that the access of the Castilian troops could be done from other nearby points and of more difficult defense, so that this castle scarcely was attacked not besieged. One of the reasons of the relative mistake of use of this castle is that always was protected adequately by other defensive elements of the environment, on the one hand the tower of rectangular floor that gets up in San Ginés's already mentioned hill, the principal point of visual control for your location in an elevation of the area inside an eminently flat environment, and for other one the castle of Ródenas, a great stranger of the castellología who nevertheless used him as protective screen. The clearest test of it is that of that of Ródenas scarcely they stay the remains of some wall in the top part, whereas in that of Peracense the remains have had always major importance, even before the recent restoration. As Ródenas's castle yes that concerned to the Community of Teruel, Another possibility appears, that both castles were kept to protect the possessions of your respective communities before possible conflicts among them, more than to dedicate to defending Aragon of the threat of incursions on the part of the Castilians.
Since already it has been said, there do not exist important appointments that testify sieges of this castle on the part of enemy troops during the Middle Ages. It is necessary to wait to the warlike episodes of the first war Carlist to document again your partial utilization.
Description: Peracense's castle changes color with the landscape so that it seems to form a part of it as if about a geological phenomenon it was treating itself. The form that it acquires is that of a spur of a ship beached in the mountain of which the principal tower stands out for your height and rotundity.
The strength is of floor curadrada irregular, occupies approximately 4.000 square meters, divides in three concentric enclosures and is placed on a steep rock, being impregnable for several of your flanks. The interior enclosure is the square of weapon, of approximately 60 x 40 meters, and in it it is possible to observe a species of niches that they have should to be used to store provisions and in order that the warriors should protect themselves of the cold.
Your hillsides north and this sound impregnable, and in the south and west a wall got up in the shape of right angle of approximately 3 meters of thickness, reinforced by three rectangular towers.
The entry to the castle is a narrow gap at the edge of the precipice. It is saeteras and enough battlements survive. Only the frontal wall stays of what was the Torre del Homenaje.

Après quelques jours de visite au Maroc, nous arrivons aux dunes de sables du Sahara, près de Mhamid.
Ce qui est le plus frappant, sans doute plus encore que les paysages, c'est le silence. Celui qui n'est jamais allé dans le désert ne sait pas ce qu'est le silence.

After a few days visiting Morocco, we arrived at the sand dunes of Sahara, near Mhamid.
What is really striking, even more than the landscapes, is the silence. Who never went to the desert doesn't know what silence is.
A ria de Aveiro estende-se, pelo interior, paralelamente ao mar, numa distância de 45 quilómetros e com uma largura máxima de onze quilómetros, no sentido Este-Oeste, desde Ovar até Mira.
A Ria é o resultado do recuo do mar, com a formação de cordões litorais que, a partir do século XVI, formaram uma laguna que constitui um dos mais importantes e belos acidentes hidrográficos da costa portuguesa.
Abarca onze mil hectares, dos quais seis mil estão permanentemente alagados, desdobra-se em quatro importantes canais ramificados em esteiros que circundam um sem número de ilhas e ilhotes. Nela desaguam o rio Vouga, o Antuã, o Boco e o Fontão, tendo como única comunicação com o mar um canal que corta o cordão litoral entre a Barra e S. Jacinto, permitindo o acesso ao Porto de Aveiro, de embarcações de grande calado.
Rica em peixes e aves aquáticas, possui grandes planos de água, locais de eleição para a prática de todos os desportos náuticos. Ainda que tenha vindo a perder, de ano para ano, a importância que já teve na economia aveirense, a produção de sal, utilizando técnicas milenares, é, ainda, uma das actividades tradicionais mais características de Aveiro.

The Aveiro Lagoon (Ria de Aveiro) is a coastal lagoon in Portugal. It is located on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, south the municipalitiy of Espinho and north of Mira (to the north of the Cape Mondego). Its average area covers approximately 75 km². It is named after the city of Aveiro, which is the chief urban centre located nearby the lagoon. Other urban centres near the Ria de Aveiro are Ílhavo, Gafanha da Nazaré, Estarreja, Ovar and Esmoriz. Some beaches nearby include those of Barra, Costa Nova, Torreira, Vagueira, Furadouro, Cortegaça and Praia de Mira. There are also beaches in the São Jacinto Peninsula.
Congratulations to flickr member Jan Rodgerson ( Urbansoup) some fabulous work to be found here beyond the first page !

Tengo muchas fotografías de Zas mirando a través de la ventana. Y siempre que lo veo en esa situación, la tentación de buscar la cámara y fotografiarlo me asalta. No me canso de hacer siempre la misma foto. Se abstrae. Se va. Se marcha lejos, muy lejos. Sin moverse de la silla a la que se sube para aproximarse a los cristales. No le importa el hecho de no contemplar la calle en toda su intensidad.
Sé que anhela lo que no tiene... A fin de cuentas, no nos diferenciamos tanto.
I have had this shot in my stream for a while but was unhappy with the colour version so thought that mono did the wonderful light on this day more justice...
Eilean Donan (Scottish Gaelic for Island of Donan), is a small island in Loch Duich in the western Highlands of Scotland. It is connected to the mainland by a footbridge and lies about half a mile from the village of Dornie. Eilean Donan is named after St Donan, a Celtic saint martyred in the Dark Ages.
It seems fairy lights give you a very unusual facial structure, all the photos looked so funny. I had to run outside at 11.30 when I got home after realizing the photos I'd initially taken hadn't worked out, sorry it's a rush job :( I seemed to spend the entire day sleeping, or streaming tv, it's been one of those miserable days when you don't feel like dealing with anything and sit round eating vast amounts of chocolate instead :P I've now run out of House, NCIS, Castle & How I Met Your Mother - it's traumatic! I have nothing left to watch, any suggestions of good stuff are very welcome.
Inspired by anyone with a love of fairy lights :)
Anyhow I'm desperate for sleep as I'm up at 6 again for work, 4.5 hours sleep - hoorah. Night flickrites!

OK... I'm coming out of the closet.... I bought a macro lens (Tamron 90mm Macro). As somebody that considers themselves a serious landscape photographer I feel like I have donned an anorak and now I'm a train spotter. I don't know why, but I have never been overly interested in macro photography before ,but all of a sudden I felt the urge to try my creativity on a much smaller scale.
You won't be seeing any flowers or insects from me, but I will be trying to bring some of the principles of large scale lighting and composition to the macro world.
I have to admit though that I feel very clumsy operating in the macro world where depth of field is measured in millimeters.
This is the first of a few exercises that I have set myself to try to understand the world of macro.

A menudo, al tratar cuestiones medioambientales, se centra la atención únicamente en las especies animales o en los ecosistemas en peligro de extinción, pero dejamos al margen o prestamos menos interés a los árboles, que son la base de los ecosistemas y tienen un papel fundamental en la naturaleza.
Algunos de los árboles más emblemáticos de la Tierra también son algunos de los que se encuentran en mayor riesgo de extinción. Merece la pena dar la voz de alarma y apoyar los esfuerzos para su conservación.

Often, when dealing with environmental issues, the focus is solely on the animal species or ecosystems at risk of extinction, but we left on the sidelines or pay less attention to trees that are the foundation of ecosystems and play a key role in nature.
Some of the most typical trees of the Earth are also some who are at greater risk of extinction. It is worth sounding the alarm and support conservation efforts.
