[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....

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.

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

One more entry for the SteamWars Madness on FBTB. But the last one.
After some great weeks the building contest on FBTB comes to an end. There were six rounds and each single one was a new challenge. This round was no different.
With no given category this time my decision fell on the iconic Boonta-Eve on Tatooine. All contest long i wanted a Podracer, but it wasn't allowed to build it in the "Speeder"-category. Now I finally was able to do so.
I don't just switched everything of metal into wood, but also changed Watto's Junkyard into a victorian JunkVilla.
I hope you like my take in this topic.
Because this is the last model of a Steampunk-series, i want to take the chance to thank the FBTB-team for hosting this great contest, all contestants for building so many cool entries and last but not least the people that voted for my creations and postet some great feedback here on flickr. :)

Yellow ragwort, light green lichen on rocks, and white blossoms of red diamorpha: native and endemic spring flora on a granite monadnock.
DeKalb County (Stonecrest), Georgia, USA.
27 March 2024.
***************
▶ "Once part of a quarry, Arabia Mountain is now protected as part of the Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. This otherworldly rock outcrop is a monadnock, a geologic formation that has seen the ground around it erode. Arabia Mountain also contains a variety of rare and endangered plants, such as diamorpha, which grows in the fragile solution pit ecosystems that appear on the rock face."
— Arabia Mountain Heritage Area Alliance.
▶ "Stone cutters especially appreciated Arabia Mountain for the unique quality of its granite (a mix of granite and gneiss referred as 'migmatite'), known for its high density, colorfastness, and attractive appearance. When it formed deep below the surface of the Earth, bands of light and dark minerals twisted to create distinctive swirls that broke the stone’s granular appearance, giving it the fitting name, 'Tidal grey' "

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.
"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!
Sun Moon Lake, situated in Nantou County’s Yuchih Township, in the center of Taiwan, and is the island’s largest lake. It is a beautiful alpine lake, divided by the tiny Lalu Island; the eastern part of the lake is round like the sun and the western side is shaped like a crescent moon, hence the name “Sun Moon Lake”.
日月潭位於台灣本島中央南投縣的魚池鄉，是台灣最大的淡水湖泊，也是最美麗的高山湖泊。潭面以拉魯島為界，東側形如日輪，西側狀如月鉤，故名日月潭。她的美是由山與水所共同交融、創造出來；748.48公尺的中高度海拔，造就日月潭宛如圖畫山水，氤氳水氣及層次分明的山景變化，一景一物皆渾然天成，詩畫般的意境，足以讓人流連忘返。

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."

Anyway, after therapy had my hair cut. Needed to
spoil myself a little. I Never go to the hairdresser, maybe twice a year. And now I just wanted the splitted ends cut, but the hairdresser said that it would be nice to also dye it and make it more white (now it was from top: Yellow, White, Yellow, White, Whiter because I always dye it myself). I'm very very pleased with it! She made it very straight, which is so much different then I'm used to! But I love it! Hope I can do it like this myself. I feel like a whole different woman. Kinda femme fatale :)

Illustration fantastique avec une petite série de photos en studio avec un simple cadre de chez un très célèbre vendeur de meuble discount suédois, un joli modèle.
Le reste se construit sur la base d'un Matte painting à partir
d'un fauteuil téléchargé sur Fotolia (pas d'aussi beau spécimen de ce type dans ma banque d'images et je le regrette).
Le matte painting est une technique qui consiste à recréer un univers irreséel sur une base de photo qui elle est bien réelle. Grâce à de multiples outils qu'offrent la plus part des nouveaux logiciels de traitement d'image et des ressources de texture accumulés lors de multiples expéditions en URBEX.
Par exemple pour cette illustration j'ai donc mit le fauteuil en situation, sur un fond nuageux dont je me suis servi en tant que tapisserie.
Cette même tapisserie rognée, texturée, déchirée ... pour enfin arrivé à ce résultat.
Résultat qui offre une image de plus de 5000x5000px pour un poids de 1.20go en format .psd, un beau bébé dont je vous laisse apprécier la qualité du détail ci dessous.

Tutta la pianta dell'oleandro (Nerium oleander) è mortale, perchè contiene cianuro, non solo i semi.
Se ne mangi solo uno, al massimo stai solo un pò male... ma più di uno ti rischi di avvelenarti, provocando il soffocamente a livello cellulare.
Pensa che usando il legno dell'oleandro, per fare la carne allo spiedo, rischi un'intossicazione mortale.
Vuoi la prova della tossicità della pianta? Prendi un fiore, o una foglia... stropicciala con le dita, e sentirai odore di mandola. Quell'odore è dato dai composti contenenti cianuro.
We might have walked together here
Angry, you stayed in the car
You hated to admit it
That you couldn't walk that far
You googled "Diabetes"
So insulin might bring you back
But it was just the alcohol
On the attack
I look back on our years gone by
You were dying by degrees
Peripheral neuralgia
From your toes up to your knees
And you chose to keep on drinking
Not to hear my anxious pleas
Although I sit alone here now
Your body buried deep
I carry you within me
Like a treasure I can keep
When I fill up with sadness
As I do at times each day
There's no despair or desolation
Love will never go away
This song by Eva Cassidy says so much so well. I cannot believe how loved and held I feel by Gilli. She may be gone, but the love in her eyes shines through her picture on my screen with all the power of life itself. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISipJs6I1w4
Ranked #10 of about 508,000 for peripheral neuralgia.
This morning, seeing my stuff appearing on front page Google I explored further into peripheral neuropathy. It seems alcohol is sometimes used peripherally to tackle the pain. There is also a connection with lupus,which has been investigated around her sister's symptoms. There is clearly a strong family connection here. Her father has had trigeminal neuropathy most of his life. I had it myself briefly.
With Gilly, the peripheral disease may have been alcohol caused but it is very chicken and egg. The disturbance of the central nervous system as in the epilepsy seem much less likely to be caused by the alcohol. In fact, I think it is much more likely that the heavy drinking relates to her attempts to calm her brain, which was always too fast. The effects of alcohol as a CNS are well known.
Dr Blake described Gill as a self destructive person. I just cannot square that with her wonderful work as a teacher and her deep love for me, the boys and people in general.

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.

- A prism of words, for the lucky who reads Neruda in spanish …
Poema El pozo
de Pablo Neruda
A veces te hundes, caes
en tu agujero de silencio,
en tu abismo de cólera orgullosa,
y apenas puedes
volver, aún con jirones
de lo que hallaste
en la profundidad de tu existencia.
Amor mío, qué encuentras
en tu pozo cerrado?
Algas, ciénagas, rocas?
Qué ves con ojos ciegos,
rencorosa y herida?
Mi vida, no hallarás
en el pozo en que caes
lo que yo guardo para ti en la altura:
un ramo de jazmines con rocío,
un beso más profundo que tu abismo.
No me temas, no caigas
en tu rencor de nuevo.
Sacude la palabra mía que vino a herirte
y déjala que vuele por la ventana abierta.
Ella volverá a herirme
sin que tú la dirijas
puesto que fue cargada con un instante duro
y ese instante será desarmado en mi pecho.
Sonríeme radiosa
si mi boca te hiere.
No soy un pastor dulce
como en los cuentos de hadas,
sino un buen leñador que comparte contigo
tierra, viento y espinas de los montes.
Ámame tú, sonríeme,
ayúdame a ser bueno.
No te hieras en mí, que será inútil,
no me hieras a mi porque te hieres.
...
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
What's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you ya, what's going on
Right on, baby

This is actually my Aunt and Uncle's back yard. I took the image on a trip
to Oregon. Nearly all of Western Oregon is forested except where they have
logged. Log cabin homes sit amongst the trees and the green grass. It
would be heaven if not for all the rain. Oregon is quite wet compared to my
home state of California. Typically the underbrush in this area would be
so dense you could not walk through it but my aunt had the land cleared and
the meadow grass grew in naturally. You can still see the dense blackberry shrubs in theback. Blackberry plants have taken over much of Oregon and you find them
growing throughout the state. I think I hear that the plant was not native
and the state was under efforts to reduce the amount of wild blackberries.
Visit in the fall and you will have all you could possibly eat. If you are
from or plan to pass though California, plan on having them confiscated at
the state border unless you have them canned.

Sorry for a crappy face shot. I was really busy today and by the time I was 1/3 done with my work it was nightime...
I'm pretty much started to hate what I'm doing, I'm irritable, I'm getting catty, I'm getting overly defensive. I sleep everywhere I go (I swear, even when I'm eating I can fall asleep)
I feel that ever since I entered this school I've changed for the worse. It makes you a more fucked up person. You got through so much shit, stress and drama that sometimes you change into the person you hate without really realizing it. ,
I used to love getting critique, my teachers used to say that they never met a student more willing to listen to criticism. But after I entered design school it started to irritate me. Well, depending on how the critique was phrased.
Sometimes critique sounds very rude and tactless. I've gone through harsh and at times, unreasonable critiques from lecturers.
Sometimes what they're saying is just "That's ugly, please re-do it." but they have to put you through at least 5 minutes of how ugly they think it is, and in front of the whole class. They don't even tell you how you can work on it to improve.
I'm so sick of this place, we work nearly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it changes you, it warps you into someone you don't want to be, now I finally understand why so many of my schoolmates quit.
1. You change (for the worse). 2. You get constantly backstabbed and bitched about. 3. You face unreasonable lecturers. 4. Your skin turns bad, you develop eye bags, you feel tired all the time 5. You don't get enough time to sleep, rest etc.
And yet all your hardwork doesn't ensure that you'll get a good grade because after all that hard work you can be just put down in front of the class.
3 more days of torture. Then freedom for a short while.
I can't wait.

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.

This little Chickadee already had two sunflower seeds in his beak but was trying to get at least one more before he flew off. My husband always has a little bag of seeds for the Chickadees when we go for a walk in the area where they are pretty tame. He loves to feed them and I love to photograph them.
In the poorer neighborhoods of Baltimore, one of the weapons of choice for self-defense is the box cutter. It will do damage, but not too much damage; it is cheap and easily hidden in the palm of the hand; and it won't get you locked up on a concealed deadly weapon charge if you get hassled by the police.
An ex-Baltimore Police officer used to rent a furnished apartment on my block a number of years ago. He left the police on disability retirement after his liver or kidneys stopped working properly (I can't remember which). When he was police, he worked the overnight shift, slept in his car, and always made a point of locking up some hapless smokehound or junkie on bullshit charges right before his shift ended so that he could collect court overtime the next morning.
He used to walk up to the the 7-11 on Orleans Street and Patterson Park Avenue every night after midnight to buy smokes. One time, a teenager tried to rob him, and he slashed the kid's face pretty badly with a box cutter. He was laughing when he told the story. I doubt the kid ever reported the incident to the police – a stuck stick-up artist isn't going to get much sympathy from the cops.
Eventually, my neighbor developed a bit of a heroin problem and was evicted – all of his stuff thrown out on the sidewalk, the whole drama.
A common green shield bug nymph, otherwise known as Palomena Prasina. They're also known as stink bugs, due to the foul smell they excrete when they sense danger. I can't say I've ever experienced it though (not complaining!).
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.

The Rosybill or Rosybill Pochard (Netta peposaca) is a duck with a distinctive red bill on males and a slate-colored bill on females. Though classified as a diving duck, this pochard feeds more like a dabbling duck.
The species name peposaca is derived from a Guaraní word for "showy wings", referring to the broad white stripe that is only visible with stretched out wings.

▶ WHAT IS EXPLORE?
"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.
Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.
Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.
Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

View of San Gimignano from a nearby hill.
San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena (Tuscany, north-central Italy). With its towers, whose construction dates back to the 11th and 13th centuries, it rises on a hill dominating the Val d’Elsa. For this, it is known as the town of the beautiful towers (la città dalle belle torri). Nowadays, only 15 of the 72 towers remain, unbroken or cropped, but they are enough to give an unmistakable mark to the town, declared by UNESCO to be part of the World's Architectural Heritage.
The town is known for its pure saffron and the Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a delicious white wine grown in the area.

(Re-edited & replaced November 2011)
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. :)
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.
