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...

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 ;-). Plage de Bourda, Guyane française.

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).

This is Fluorite from Dal'negorsk (Дальнегорск), Russia at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.
www.mindat.org/locentries.php?p=2635&m=1576
A famous mining region centered on the city of Dalnegorsk in eastern Russia, 300 km northeast of Vladivostok. The name "Tetyukhe" or "Tetjuche" (meaning "valley of the wild pigs") is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk and can be encountered on a few old mineral labels.
The Verkhnee deposit was first developed in 1912. Boron mineralization was prospected in 1945.
The region comprises 9 different deposits.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite
"Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon.
Pure fluorite is colourless and transparent, both in visible and ultraviolet light, but impurities usually make it a colorful mineral and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride for hydrofluoric acid manufacture, which is the intermediate source of most fluorine-containing fine chemicals. Optically clear transparent fluorite has anomalous partial dispersion, that is, its refractive index varies with the wavelength of light in a manner that differs from that of commonly used glasses, so fluorite is useful in making apochromatic lenses, and particularly valuable in photographic optics. Fluorite optics are also usable in the far-ultraviolet and mid-infrared ranges, where conventional glasses are too opaque for use. Fluorite also has low dispersion, and a high refractive index for its density."

Hace 1 año aproximadamente escribí un cuento llamado "La Princesa Dormida", me lo pase en grande escribiéndolo porque lo viví con intensidad. El narrador forma parte del cuento y escribe su relato concentrado sobre una antigua Olivetti M40 de los años 30's.
Al documentarme sobre esta maquina se despertó mi interés por ella, hasta tal punto que compre una en perfecto estado. Es una preciosidad, además fue toda una experiencia volver a usar una maquina de escribir manual así como para mis hijos que nunca habían visto ni usado ninguna.

See a closeup of Evan HERE!
Believe it or not this photo is taken in a real place in British Colombia! This “lake” has some of the highest mineral concentrations in the world of certain minerals, such as magnesium sulfate, and used to be believed by natives to have healing powers. Depending on time of year and concentration of minerals, the pools of water change colors at different times throughout the year! I did enhance the colors for the purpose of this photo. Needless to say, it felt other-worldly and I couldn’t resist creating something surreal! The model is the incredible Evan Borges , who showed us around his beautiful valley town, taking us bridge jumping AND giving us the most delicious fruit from his family’s Vineyard. Taking this picture was pretty funny, because as he walked on the surface, it would kind of sink a bit. Definitely a bit nerve wracking in that regard!
My best friend Tabbatha found this excerpt from the plot summary of The Magician’s Nephew fitting to this image in a way, even though it isn’t a woodland; This is how I came up with the title:
"Digory finds himself transported to a sleepy woodland with an almost narcotic effect; he finds Polly nearby. The woodland is filled with pools. Digory and Polly surmise that the world is not really a proper world at all but a "Wood between the Worlds," similar to the attic that links their rowhouses back in England, and that each pool leads to a separate universe."
I would love to jump into a pool that would lead me to another world!

♪ ♫ 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.

I found this guy on a petrified log as I was making my way to the Agate House. He was extremely interested in sunning himself, and I was happy enough making portraits of him at 400 millimeters. After about five minutes he got spooked by a bird of prey (golden eagle), and scampered away under another near by log.
•These animals are possibly best known for their speed. Like the frilled lizard and basilisk, collared lizards can run on their hind legs for long periods of time. Record speeds have been around 35 mi/h (56 km/h). They look like small dinosaurs when they're running on their hind legs. -Wikipedia

Republic forces in retreat! While rescuing General Aayla Secura from certain defeat, Anakin Skywalker has been seriously injured. After a narrow escape, our heroes crash-landed on the remote world of Maridun. Stranded, and with no way to contact the Republic, the Jedi receive medical aid from the peaceful Lurmen colonists. But even on this tiny planet, the war threatens to follow the Jedi....
Star Wars The Clone Wars means so much to me. It defined so much of my childhood all the way into my teenage years, and even now it still impacts me. Then you also have Rebels, it never ends haha :P
I'll currently rewatching Star Wars the Clone wars in canon order and am close to finishing Season 5. Still such incredible content! As I've been going I've been jotting down ideas from episodes I want to build, and this was one of the first on the list. This is of course from the Episode Jedi Crash. I have lots more planned (and currently have 2 others built) So get hyped. But yeah you know, exciting! There'll be MOC's from Seasons 1 through to 5 and most likely even the Lost Missions too.
I know I've watched Seasons 1 and 2 more time then I can remember, and this episode was always a very enjoyable one for me. Not my favourite by any means, but very enjoyable!

Aunque pueda parecer que el verde está subido de tono, lo único que le he hecho a la fotografía ha sido darle un poco de luminosidad, porque pecaba de subexpuesta. El color, tal cual.

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.

She was with her older sister waiting for her mother to get out of church. Her older sister was playing with her friends and she was left by herself to play with the other little children. I could tell that she was shy and didn't know where to go. She decided keep to herself until her mother came to get her.
AHH. It's winter. I did not expect it to come this quickly! It's been so cold, so I'm hiding in scarves, and Skyrim. It's crazy, I went outside to take a picture, and had to run inside and get a scarf and warmer jacket.
This happened.
My hair is also a really light blue, now, I loove it! I might try to put a baby-blue dye over it, though. :3
Also, the texture I put over it was a picture of sparkling snow, that I took when it snowed for two weeks last winter~ <3
Also, Kaskade's album "Fire & Ice" is amazing. So, listen to this.

This is the last photo I took yesterday evening at Monknash beach. About forty minutes after sunset the colour in the sky was beginning to fade, but was still quite attractive so I set about setting up this shot. A few test shots at ISO 1600 suggested an exposure time of two minutes forty seconds at ISO 100 to which I added about two thirds of a stop to take the exposure up to four minutes as the light continued to fade throughout. All that was left to do then was open the shutter by remote and sit back and relax for a few minutes with one eye on my stopwatch.

This is the longest of 3 canal tunnels. It is around 1 km and does not have a footpath - so this girl looking. I was told that you can see the other end. But i was on the wrong side. Also it happened that the majority of this walk were shoot by 50 mm which is not ideal for scenery.
Also i am amazed how little information about the Regent canal is available around - i mean history, pictures, walking guides, current development. I've seen only 1 book on Amazon. It goes through such a vibrant number of areas. And it has been there since 1820.
I found that much however about Islington tunnel
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.

Luz de otoño
Afuera; en las calles hay olvido de vehementes tormentas.
Afuera; desde las ramas de un árbol sigue brillando el sol.
Afuera; sopla el viento revolviendo las hojas apagadas
y el silencio se torna más mudo todavía.
Hay un gris que despierta en el aire deshojando mi aliento,
hay un rumbo que me invita a tomarlo por las veredas solitarias.
Seguirlo es, para mí, una manera de decir;
caminemos juntos.
Otoño siempre tiene algo de sueño escondido entre sus pliegues.
Es la manera de decirlo todo sin pronunciar palabra.
Es la pausa de algo, el por qué de alguien.
Es estar solo y a la vez acompañado
en la intimidad indecente de la conciencia.
El repiqueteo constante de una agradable nostalgia
que se vuelca sobre las calles que camino.
Es estar parado donde siempre quise:
sobre la sombra de un árbol desnudo.
Otoño siempre tiene algo de sueño escondido entre sus manos
para dormirlo todo.
Soñarlo es para mí una manera de decir;
ven, el otoño, más que mío es tuyo,
más que tuyo, es nuestro…
ven, para que entremedio de los árboles sin hojas,
por una vez, por esta vez, caminemos juntos.

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 ;)
Certainly felt that way, standing at the top of the Prudential tower :) I can't help but notice the letter N formed by the light trails at the bustling streets of downtown Boston. The view from here was amazing. Highly recommended for anyone planing to visit Boston. Since, this was supposed to be a bird's eye-view, Logan had to be somewhere right? Well there is an entire plane trail for you to id Logan easily! Anyone enthusiastic about night photography may find the following documentary interesting.

Brighter Days
Time keeps moving on
Through the sunshine and the storm
And my dreams are set in stone
And someday I’ll be who I want to be
For now I’ll wait
For the sun to shine again
And for now I’ll wait
For the rain to pass away
And I’m looking for the brighter days
When all my hurts seem to fade away
I’m looking for the brighter days to come my way
Faces come and faces go
But none seem to look my way
And walls have stood and walls have fallen
But my heart seems to wait
For now I’ll sit at the end of the road
And for now I’ll wait
At the end of the pathway
I’ll see the sun one day shine upon me
I’ll see the sun one day
And watch the nighttime turn to morning
But for now it all comes back around

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Today is Daffodil Day. We were all up early this morning in the Murphy house. Just as well, as the sunrise was beautiful. It didn't last long though and the clouds soon turned to rain by school time. I used the diffused light from the cloudy day here. My model was not her usual, obliging self, and took some coaxing. I thought the subject appropriate seeing the time of year and worthy cause. I wanted to try and capture the 'Scent of Spring' - as if a photo could do that! Here the radiance exuded by the daffodil is being absorbed by the little girl. A simple idea. I used colour popping to enhance the effect. I was equally happy with the full colour shot and I combined it with a High Key black and white conversion.
The shot; A single Raw file taken on the tri-pod. Processed with a tone Curve and Saturation boost. From this I made the b/w copy and added it as the top layer to the colour shot. Then erased elements of the b/w layer to reveal the colour elements in the Background colour layer. After flattening, I added some blur to the edges and framed it. ISO 100. 1/60 at f/2.8. No flash used, just the natural unfiltered light from the window. See the set-up below. I never go anywhere without my sheet of Black Felt, truly excellent stuff.
