After two months of volcano eruptions in Iceland, Fimmvörðuháls from March 21 - April 13. and then Eyjafjallajökull from April 14 to May 23. Many great adventures and phototrips, I finally got the change do do what I really love about photograpy, SEASCAPES!.
The sunset and clouds were not so dramatic this weekend, but I also like seascapes during "blue hour" and minimalism scenes. The natural rock sculptures Reynisdrangar, at Vik in Myrdal, are usually been photographed from the other side, the eas side, so I prefer the west side of them. The waves on this coastline in Reynisfjara area often huge, and sometimes deadly, but on this night however the ocean was strangely calm, my boots got flushed anyway but that's a different story.
Cheers, Skarpi

La mesquita blava o del sultà Ahmed (en turc Sultanahmet Camii), a Istanbul, Turquia, és una obra de Sedefhar Mehmet Ağa, un deixeble de l'arquitecte Mimar Sinan. Està situada enfront d'església de Santa Sofia separades ambdues per un bell espai enjardinat, i és l'única a Istanbul que posseïx 6 minarets.
La mesquita va ser construïda durant el regnat del catorzè sultà otomà, Ahmet I, entre 1609 i 1616, en temps de decadència otomana. És la mesquita més gran i fastuosa d'Istanbul. La mesquita va ser construïda juntament amb una madrassa, escola alcorànica, un asil, un centre comercial d'artesania, un kervansaray, allotjament per a camells, una font i un külliye, complex soci-religiós.

La Mezquita Azul o Mezquita del Sultán Ahmed (en turco, Sultanahmed Camii) de Estambul, es obra de Sedefhar Mehmet Ağa, discípulo del arquitecto Sinan. Está situada frente a la Iglesia de Santa Sofía, separadas ambas por un hermoso espacio ajardinado, y es la única en Estambul que posee 6 alminares.
Su magnífico exterior no le hace sombra a su suntuoso interior, en el que una verdadera sinfonía de bellísimos mosaicos azules de Izmir, dan a este espacio una atmósfera muy especial.
The Holy Monastery of Simonos Petra, or more simply Simonopetra, is without doubt the most daring construction on the Holy Mountain. It stands proudly at a height of 330 metres on the end of a rocky mountain range.
The Monastery was founded by the Blessed Simon the Myrrhobletes around 1257, as a result of a vision. The whole of the building work, the Life of the Saint assures us, was accomplished as the result of divine intervention. In 1363 the Monastery was renovated with generous donations from a Serb despot, John Uglesha, who is regarded as the Monastery's second founder. In the Third Typikon, Simonopetra occupies 23rd place among the then monasteries of Athos; today it holds thirteenth place in the hierarchy.
Unfortunately, among the dates which are milestones in the history of the Monastery are those inauspicious days when it was afflicted with the scourge of fire. In 1570 the Monastery, together with its valuable archive, was destroyed by a great conflagration. This resulted in the loss of documents of inestimable historical value. It also explains why we know so little about the Monastery in the Byzantine period.
The good relations which developed between Simonopetra and the Princes of Wallachia in the period of Turkish rule made possible its recovery. However, there was another fire in 1622, causing further damage. Simonopetra, which had been a coenobium, became idiorrythmic in the 17th century. Although never looted by pirates, the intolerable taxes of the Turks drove the Monastery to decline and abandonment. By the heroic efforts of the priest-monk Ioasaph of Mytilene, Asimopetra (as Simonopetra was called in the period of Turkish occupation) began to function again in the late 18th century. The 19th century saw the building of the multi-storeyed building on the south side. At the end of the same century, in 1891, yet another disastrous fire swept away, yet again, the older buildings and the Monastery's treasures.
In the present century, Simonopetra has experienced a period of recovery and of increasing prestige in the Orthodox world - particularly after the liberation of the Holy Mountain from the Turks and under the enlightened ladership of the Abbots Neophytos, Ioannikios, and Ieronymos. In the 1950s, however, a period of decline set in and in 1963, when Athos celebrated a millennium of life, the prospects for the future were gloomy. But the 1970s were a time when there was a gradual revival of Athonite monasticism. In 1973 a new 20-member brotherhood from the Meteora established itself at the Monastery. The Monastery of Simonos Petra once had a large number of metochia with fertile farm land. The oldest of these would appear to be Petriotiko in Sithonia. Today, best known are St Charalampus in Thessaloniki, the Ascension in Athens, the Nunnery of the Annunciation at Ormylia in Chalcidice, and three others in France. It is also worth mentioning the metochi of Michael Voda in Bucharest, dedicated to the Monastery in 1566 and confiscated by the Romanian Government in 1863.
Simonopetra, because of the restricted space of its site, is not one of those monasteries where we can see autonomous, clearly distinguished buildings. The katholikon is dedicated to the Nativity of Christ and in its original form was built around 1600, while the form it takes today took shape after the fire of 1891. The Monastery has four chapels within its precinct and eight outside.
The Monastery's archive contains a host of documents in Greek, Turkish, and Romanian, together with inscriptions, and musical and other manuscripts, to which must be added its printed books. However, it must be pointed out that almost the whole of the archival material is post-Byzantine.
The sacristy contains a treasury of works of art, consisting of icons, vestments, silverware, antimensia, seals, and engravings. However, the most important treasure of Simonopetra is the left hand of St Mary Magdalene - she is regarded as 'co-founder' of the Monastery - which has remained whole for two thousand years. The Monastery today has a community of 50 well-educated and active monks.

or "Dom St. Stephan" in German, is a baroque church from 1688 in Passau, Germany. It is the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Passau and the main church of his diocese.
Since 730, there have been many churches built on the site of the current cathedral. The current church, a baroque building around 100 metres (328 ft) long, was built from 1668 to 1693 after a fire in 1662 destroyed its predecessor, of which only the late gothic eastern side remains. The cathedral's overall plan was made by Carlo Lurago, its interior decoration by Giovanni Battista Carlone, and its frescos by Carpoforo Tencalla.
Over time, the Passau Cathedral has acquired the largest organ outside of the United States. It is also the largest cathedral organ in the world. The organ currently has 17,774 pipes and 233 registers, all of which can be played with the five-manual general console in the gallery.
The cathedral has eight large bells in the bell rooms in the north and south towers. The heaviest,"Pummerin" at 7550 kg cast in 1952 and "Sturmerin" weighing 5300 kg cast in 1733 hang in the south tower. The other six bells hang in the north tower. They include: "Misericordia" weighing 6000 kg, the Angelus bell, "Predigerin", "Elfuhrglocken", the Choir bell, and "Dignitar". A ninth bell, the "Zeichenglocke" hangs near the sacristy door.

This is a stacked version of "Thunderstruck" with other photos taken before and after the original photo. I combined them in Photoshop CS4 using a Star Trails action. Final processing done in Lightroom 2.
Another example of the great power of lightning in the mountains in Colorado. This storm was parked over Gunnison, CO on the night of September 12th. I was traveling from Creede, CO back to Gunnison, when near the Powderhorn Guest Ranches, I saw the lightning lighting up the dark night sky. Surprisingly, this was taken around 8:10pm. Surprisingly dark for that night, oh well the days are definitely getting shorted as fall approaches.
The Wave is a spectacular sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the beautiful and rugged Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, … just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona.
This incredible formation can be reached by hiking approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) across rugged, trailless landscape, making the round-trip to and from The Wave a nearly 6-mile (9.7-kilometer) hike that climbs about 350 feet (107 meters) in altitude [sic]. The area can be really hot in summer (100 F +), so it is best to start the hike early. --from Wiki
Well, my friend and I hiked this late, staying over sunset in The Wave. It is an incredibly beautiful area, and I'd love to get back there.
Hiking back through the darkness was pretty exhilarating, but I could see it being nearly impossible and very stressful without a GPS. Carins are few and far between, and nearly impossible to locate at night, even with flashlights. Fortunately, there are a couple washes that cross at pretty identifiable areas on the trail; identifiable enough where we could see by a crescent moon and be okay.

I just returned from another business trip to Cincinnati. Each time I've been there, I've stopped by Union Terminal, which encompasses many of my favorite things - Architecture, railroad stations, history, and Art Deco design.
Originally built in 1933 as the Union Terminal train station, the building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Union Terminal stands on a prominent location one mile northwest of the city center. Visitors approach the 10-story, arched, limestone and glass facade of the building from the east through a quarter-mile plaza. The dome is flanked on either side by curving wings. An illuminated fountain, cascade and pool lie in the foreground center. On either side of the main doors, Maxfield Keck's bas-relief figures symbolize Commerce and Transportation. In the late 1980s, the building was renovated and then reopened as Cincinnati Museum Center in 1990. It was recently named one of the top 50 architecturally significant buildings in America by the American Institute of Architects.

La Ruta del Cares o divina garganta, como también se la conoce, es un impresionante desfiladero que atraviesa los macizos central y oriental de los Picos de Europa. Es tal su belleza y su fama que se ha convertido en la ruta más transitada de los Picos.
Al desfiladero originado por el río Cares se le excavó en la roca a principios del siglo XX la actual ruta que se mejoró en los años 40 del mismo siglo. Se trata de una obra de ingeniería civil realizada para aprovechar la riqueza hidroeléctrica en la central de Camarmeña y es la vía de comunicación más corta entre los pueblos de Caín (León) y Poncebos (Asturias), separados por muchos kilómetros de carretera.
Se trata de una ruta de 12 km. para hacer recreándose con el espectáculo del paisaje. La duración es de unas 3 ó 4 horas con numerosas paradas para llenar las tarjetas de nuestras cámaras digitales. No hace falta ser un experimentado montañero para realizarla. Sólo es necesario caminar y llevarse un abundante recuerdo fotográfico para que nos crean cuando volvamos ...
Para los que padecen vertigo decirles que en algunos puntos del recorrido el desnivel es de unos 100 mts.
Espero seas de vuestro agrado. Un saludo
The spectacular view of geothermal landscape in Landmannalaugar.
Landmannalaugar (Icelandic, meaning the people's pools) is a region near the volcano
Hekla, one of Iceland's most active volcano; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Icelanders called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell.
The Landmannalaugar area is a popular tourist destination and the area displays a number of unusual geological elements, like the multicolored rhyolit. The many mountains in the surrounding area display a wide spectrum of colors including pink, brown, green, yellow, blue, purple, black, and white. Two of the most popular mountains among hikers are Bláhnúkur (meaning "blue peak") and Brennisteinsalda. (meaning "sulphur wave").

Souvent les rapaces ; buses ou milans suivent de près les moissonneuses afin de capturer toutes sortes de mulots et rats des champs. Il n'est pas besoin alors de courir par monts et par vaux pour arriver à prendre quelques photos. C'est bien une des rares fois (pour moi) où le photographe peut s'approcher à 20 ou 30m à découvert, le rapace ayant alors toute son attention accaparée par sa future proie.
Often prey; nozzles or kites closely follow the harvesters to capture all kinds of mice and field mice. There is no need then to run up hill and down dale to get to take some pictures. This is one of the few times (for me) where the photographer can approach 20 or 30m short, the raptor then having his attention captured by his future prey.
Muitas vezes presa, bicos ou pipas acompanhar de perto as colheitadeiras para capturar todos os tipos de camundongos e ratos do campo. Não há necessidade, em seguida, correr para cima e para baixo dale colina para chegar ao tirar algumas fotos. Esta é uma das poucas vezes que (para mim), onde o fotógrafo pode se aproximar de 20 ou 30m suma, o raptor depois de ter sua atenção capturada por sua presa futuro.
A menudo presa; boquillas o cometas siguen de cerca las cosechadoras para capturar todo tipo de ratas y ratones de campo. No hay necesidad de correr entonces por montes y valles hasta llegar a tomar algunas fotos. Esta es una de las pocas veces que (para mí), donde el fotógrafo puede acercarse al 20 o 30m resumen, el raptor después de haber capturado su atención por su presa futuro.

More of an explanation of the picture on my blog
In the 17th century, Sultan Ahmet I wished to build an Islamic place of worship that would be even better than the Hagia Sophia, and the mosque named for him is the result. The two great architectural achievements now stand next to each other in Istanbul's main square [...].
Inside, the high ceiling is lined with the 20,000 blue tiles that give the mosque its popular name. Fine examples of 16th-century Iznik design, the oldest tiles feature flowers, trees and abstract patterns. The overall effect is one of the most beautiful sights in Istanbul. The Iznik tiles can be seen in the galleries and and on the north wall above the main entrance. The remaining tiles, which have a less delicate design, were made in Kütahya.
The interior is lit with 260 windows, which were once filled with 17th-century stained glass. Sadly, this has been lost and replaced with inferior replicas.

What:
A long exposure (47 seconds) of the light house at Peggy's Cove.
When:
Almost an hour after sunset Sunday night.
Where:
Peggy's Cove
Nova Scotia, Canada
About:
I am trying to get back out shooting a little more often and of course I had to head to Peggy's Cove seeing how I had a special request from my friend Sonja :-)
Anyway, the weather wasn't all that great and there was a bit of fog rolling in around town. I was expecting to get near Peggy's and just end up turning around and heading home. Well was I ever surprised when I saw one of the best sunsets ever there!! I have a few actual sunset shots I will post later, this was taken almost an hour after the sun had gone down! As you can see there was still a lot of color left in the sky. It was still nice and warm with hardly any wind at all which is very unusual for this place!
We have had a lot of rain this year so I knew there would be some water in the granite surrounding the lighthouse.
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You

Mon Oncle Lisboa Zentral Cafe
My Books:
My book "Discover GUIMERÀ" (preview)
My book "Discover SANTA PAU" (preview)
Mon Oncle ("My Uncle") is a 1958 comedic film by French filmmaker Jacques Tati. It was Tati's first film to be released in colour (after the colour-debacle of Jour de fête) and that same year won him the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a Special Prize at Cannes, and the prestigious New York Film Critics Award, receiving more honors than any of Tati's other films.
The film centers on the dimwitted yet lovable character of Monsieur Hulot and his quixotic struggle with postwar France's infatuation with modern architecture, mechanical efficiency and American-style consumerism. As with most Tati films, Mon Oncle is largely a visual comedy; color and lighting are employed to help tell the story. The dialogue in Mon Oncle is barely audible, and largely subordinated to the role of a sound effect. Consequently, most of the conversations are not subtitled. Instead, the drifting noises of heated arguments and idle banter complement other sounds and the physical movements of the characters, intensifying comedic effect. The complex soundtrack also uses music to characterize environments, including a lively musical theme that represents Hulot's world of comical inefficiency and freedom.
El núcleo de Tarroja de Segarra está situado en la cuesta a la derecha del río Sió, a medio camino entre Cervera y Guissona.
El barrio moderno ha estado edificado hacia el norte, donde la cuesta se transforma en plana, cerca de la carretera, donde también encontramos algunas casas diseminadas. Fuera de los arrabales forma un grupo bastante compacto, casi circular, al abrigo de un cercado más primitivo, que estuvo amurallado, centrado por la plaza de la iglesia, por el que se entra a través de tres portales y callejuelas cubiertas.
La iglesia parroquial de Sant Salvador fue construida durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Conserva el campanario, edificado durante el siglo XV encima del ábside de la antigua iglesia románica de la cual se conservan unos muros, una portalada y parte de la bóveda de un altar lateral.
Por encima de las murallas, la calle del Raval bordea el camino de Sedó, mientras que a lo largo de la muralla inferior se extiende la calle Gual. En la última línea de casas, al oeste, se ven unos muros que formaron parte del antiguo castillo de los condes de Cardona.
Más allá de la ribera no encontramos población.
A la orilla izquierda del río Sió encontramos la ermita de Sant Julià y, en el sector septentrional del término, la ermita de Sant Antoni.
Tarroja, con su conocida tradición que la relaciona con Colom, cumple quince años de publicación de la revista Terra Rubra, la cual colabora en la investigación de este tema. La Segarra, en donde habitaban familias arraigadas como los Oluja y Sacirera entre otros, muy relacionadas con el descubridor, no defrauda a los historiadores que investigan
Cerca de Tarroja se han producido hallazgos arqueológicos, en el Pla de la Mata cerámica neolítica y en los campos de los Vilassos restos de una villa romana del siglo II.
En Tarroja encontramos ya un polideportivo y unas piscinas municipales.
Tarroja celebra la fiesta mayor el primer fin de semana de agosto, por Sant Salvador. El Lunes de Pascua se hace una reunión en la ermita de Sant Julià y el primer domingo de mayo se celebra la fiesta del Roser.

The wispy seed heads of the Pasque Flower are attractive in their own right.
[...], another common name for Pasque flower (or "Pasqueflower") is "Easter flower." Pasque is the Old French spelling for "Easter," and it is around that time of year that the plant blooms, in some regions. According to Botanical.com, the famous herbalist, John Gerard, "informs us that he himself was 'moved to name' this the Pasque Flower, or Easter Flower, because of the time of its appearance, it being in bloom from April to June."

La catedral tiene planta de cruz latina, compuesta por una nave central y dos laterales, amplio crucero de tres naves; cabecera curva con girola y cinco capillas radiales. Contrasta el exterior de la catedral, de estilo ecléctico en el que predominan las líneas neoclásicas y barrocas, con el interior, que sigue los patrones del estilo neogótico, incluyendo vidrieras polícromas y triforio.
La cubierta de la nave principal, a diferencia de las laterales que siguen los esquemas góticos (bóveda de crucería simple), se resuelve mediante una ingeniosa solución de hormigón alveolado, lo que permitió reducir costes y trabajo. La decoración pictórica de esta estructura es de carácter geométrico, obra del pintor José Luis Galicia, dentro de un estilo que recuerda los tradicionales artesonados mudéjares, sobre todo en la profusa utilización del pan de oro y gamas de colores contrastantes.
November 23rd,2009(sooc) ON BLACK
Today was beyond nice. i cleaned a lot:D(me love cleaning eheh), cleaned the stove, my bathroom, washed clothes, and tomorrow i'm going to vacum my room and wash some more things. I made a delicious lunch,eggs with tomatoes and onions, i read a lot, i edited all the pictures from the 17th until now, i dressed up, i danced around my room, i laughed my head off, i smiled, i did lots of fun stuff. I'm easily pleased and entertained so i'm never bored and i find things to keep myself busy or entertain myself. The simplest things make me happy. I worked for almost 4hrs tonight, and it was fun working with brooke. i've never closed with her before and it was beyond fun. She's so cute and she looks like taylor swift..in my opinion. just wish she didn't cover her beauty with all that makeup but hey whatever floats her boat. I found out that she wants to be a special needs teacher, like me:D:D her and i got so excited about that. At work i was dancing around and shaking my booty, i didn't care who was watching i refused to be bored at work, since it was sooo slow tonight. More and more that i'm thinking about it the more and more i want it to happen. Me not making more than 50k a year. It's not that i want to be poor, but there is something i just love about struggling. haha ok that may sound funny..let me explain*looks around to see whose she's talking to* I like using coupons for food, i like scrapping together money to buy things, i love shopping at thrift stores,for clothes,i love looking through trash cans to see if anyone threw away still good things, i love garage sales, i love target,i love deals, i love love having to work with what i have, i love mending my own things, i love reading, writing letters, and making home made things,gifts, and etc. I love going to sales. I love it all. I can't explain it. I guess because i grew up with it, and it was so fun and i always felt so at home in low class, poor areas. I feel off and not myself in rich areas, or around things that are really richy. I have nothing against rich people or people that buy really rich things, but i feel so homey, and comfortable in poor, low class houses, or areas, middle class as well. I LOVE handme downs, i love re gifts from familys, that have been passed down. I love things that are old and have been in the family forever. I love using "ghetto" things. I'm not saying i don't like buying things when i need to, but i like shopping at the doller store, and not buying really expensive things and clothes. Haha never mind i can't explain myself. I just never want to be rich..not that i'm scared i will loose this side of me, but i just feel better when i'm not rich. If i ever am rich i'll just keep doing what i do now, and save the money i have for things like trips to travel the world or what not. Plus i think having very expensive material possesions won't make you happy. There is one thing i want a lot of when i get older FOOOOOODDDD! haha indeed i will be cooking EVERYTHING home made when i move out, you can be sure of that, even if i don't have a lot of money i will scrape things together..i always do. haha but yeah today was so great and just what i need. don't work until wednesday night. oh and about the barcode..i love them..and also it's just a silly thing for jonel..of course he doesn't own me but it's like me saying "i'm faithfully yours and no matter what happens i will always stay by your side you can count on me to be yours." he calls himself the halima expert or as i say"limaoligist" ahha i can't wait until he calls me from ait so i can tell him about that. today and last night i felt great i didn't cry or anything, i'm so positive actually seeing jonel has made me even better than i was before i saw him. the first two days were horrible but now i'm stronger than ever. love it. I'm sorry it's been so long since i've uploaded i'm back now. and if you guys read all this haha i love you.

Lower Broadway, Aug 2008 - 04
This was taken from the north side of Broadway at Howard Street, looking south; I thought the young woman made an interesting silhouette as she sat by herself.
I had to look, back and forth, several times at this picture and the previous one, to convince myself that it really is the same young woman. The couple previously sitting to her left has disappeared, and the lower background immediately behind her doesn't really look quite the same. But the other details -- shirt, haircut, purse, etc. -- are the same. And besides, I was there.
In any case, I think this is the more interesting of the two pictures.
Notwithstanding my own opinions on the topic, this photo was published in an April 8, 2009 blog titled "Woody Allen vs. American Apparel.." It was also published in a March 3, 2011 blog titled "Check out the upcoming Gender, Sexuality, and Urban Spaces Conference Mar. 11-13!"
Moving into 2012, the photo was published in an Oct 24, 2012 blog titled "American Apparel opens biggest international store in Beijing." It was also published in an undated (late Oct 2012) blog titled "17 Interesting Pictures of Billboards."
Moving into 2014, the photo was published in a May 18, 2014 blog titled "Women in Three Dimensions."
Moving into 2015, the photo was published in a Feb 23, 2015 blog titled "THE PROBLEM WITH SEXUAL INEQUALITY AT EVERY LEVEL."
**********************************
On a bright, sunny Wednesday afternoon, I ventured down to 23rd Street and 6th Avenue to drop off my laptop computer for a repair job. Afterwards, I thought I would walk over to Broadway and stroll up the street to see if I could find some interesting pictures; and then I got the crazy idea to take a cab down to the very end of Broadway -- near the Staten Island Ferry -- and walk all the way up Broadway to my neighborhood on 96th Street.
But then I decided that Broadway probably wouldn't be very interesting until I reached Canal Street ... so I had the cab-driver drop me off there, and began my walk northward. Who knows how far I would have gotten if I hadn't been distracted by a lively farmer's market in Union Square -- on 14th Street? Anyway, there's much more of Broadway to cover, and if I have the time and energy over the next few months, perhaps I will cover the entire length of this longest street in New York City, which extends all the way through Manhattan, Bronx, and into Yonkers...

Sometimes some shots you don't think are all that great just take on a life you never expected. This was one. I was processing it as I posted the first shot from the Ottawa River shoot. Forgot it was processing (got lost looking at y'all's streams!) and just as I was about to shut down for the night realized it was waiting to be tonemapped.
So I said, "oops" and proceeded to tonemap it.
That's when I went, "Oh wow!"
Hope you like it.
This one MUST be seen in Large On Black. Particularly the mid-ground looks so cool and soft-focused because of the HDR processing.
Sailing it makes me feel free ... here I let your imagination to "wonder" ... one can sail even go to "Neverland" , as long as you feel free, and that is what sailing is, the sea, blue it al that makes me feel so good ... so I wish you all a smooth sail to your favourite place; some come, some go but then its life... just enjoy the remaining summer days (here they last all September) sending you my blues ENJOY !

I've chosen to feature this castle in sepia to emphasize its history, its place in a bygone age and above all, its sense of mystery and yes, even romance.
"The castles which are today such an unmistakable feature of the Rhein landscape date back to the Middle Ages. Their founders were feudal overloards, who, so far from cherishing any romantic notions, built them with one simple aim in mind: to protect their lands from marauders and predatory neighbours. They chose mountain-tops as strategically ideal situations, and we today, looking back through the haze of ninteenth-century medievalism, are still often prone to see them as objects of mystery and splendour, forgetting the warlike function for which they were built and the back-breaking labour of the feudal serfs, whom we must presume to have been forcibly employed in quarring the huge stone blocks and dragging them up the mountain slopes.
Since Roman times the Rhein valley has been a line of communication of vital strategic importance. In the Middle Ages the German emperors used it for their frequent progresses into Italy, and rich merchants sent their goods to and fro along it. Obviously anyone owning a castle overlooking the valley was in a powerful position, since he was able to survey and regulate the flow of traffic across his particular territory and levy tolls on merchants. This accounts for the large number of castles along the Rhein from Mainz to Bonn, particularly in the narrow gorge connecting Bingen and Koblenz. Along this stretch of river, which has a length of only thirty-five miles, there are more castles than in any other river valley in the world. "

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely day!
Il fiume Ticino (Vigevano) al tramonto sotto il ponte.
Il Ticino o (Fiume Azzurro).
Il Ticino inizia il suo corso sulle montagne svizzere dal gruppo del San Gottardo.Attraversa la Vai Bedretto, la Val Leventina, ricevendo da sinistra gli affluenti Breno e Moesa ed entra nel Lago Maggiore dopo aver disegnato una vasta regione del territorio elvetico che prende il suo nome: Canton Ticino. Esce dal Lago Maggiore tra Sesto Calende e Castelletto Ticino dove inizia il suo percorso italiano in una valle stretta e profonda che poi si allarga progressivaente scendendo verso sud.Dopo un percorso di oltre cento chilometri che lo porta ad attraversare popolose province come Varese,Novara, Milano e Pavia, si getta nel Po presso il ponte della Becca.In Italia, il fiume TICINO inizia a Sesto Calende e già dal 1179 ebbe grande importanza per l'irrigazione delle zone agricole del Piemonte e della Lombardia.Nel XX secolo, con lo sviluppo industriale, iniziò l'utilizzazione delle sue acque a scopo di produrre energia idroelettrica.Il TICINO, tra le province di Varese e Milano, alimenta la centrale di Porto Torre posta in sponda sinistra e, tramite il Canale Industriale, le centrali di Vizzola, Tornavento, Turbigo Superiore e Turbigo Inferiore. Più a valle, in provincia di Novara, tramite la presa di San Martino con il Naviglio Sforzesco alimenta la centrale di Vigevano.Il "bacino imbrifero" del TICINO (bacino di raccolta delle acque piova ne) si somma a quello del Lago Maggiore arrivando alla superficie di 6598 kmq, di cui 3369 kmq in territorio Svizzero e 3229 kmq in territorio Italiano.
i am rhythm
i am a pulse
sometimes simple
sometimes interlocked
sometimes syncopated
i am rhythm
sometimes moderato
sometimes allegro
sometimes simply at rest
i am rhythm
feel my beat
experience my motion
then take my hand
and come, dance with me
This one is for ARNEL aka LENAREH, Pinoy Kodakero's poet laureate. Perhaps what I appreciate more about Arnel is his ability to see the lighter side of life. I truly enjoy the simplicity of his view on life as expressed in many of his images. I have enjoyed his “can you guess” posts, his blue sky set, his food and sari-sari shots. His stream is full of treasures which can certainly make you smile. And Arnel is generous. He almost always never leave my stream without a few simple verses of encouragement, sometimes of humor. I feel honored to be his friend and godmother to his young son, Nico. And I am looking forward to meeting him and his family in person and spend some time exploring and shooting some of the beautiful places in the Philippines in October.
Hoy es el cumpleaños de una persona muy especial para mí. Se trata de mi tía Isabel que todo sea dicho de paso, inconsciente de ella, se ha convertido en mi seguidora número uno.
Seguro que cuando lea esto se quedará sin palabras pero qué menos que dedicar una foto a quien tanto da a cambio de nada.
Te quiero chacha!

Os pido también que prestéis especial atención a esta cita porque me parece buenísima:
En 1930 Ansel Adams se estaba formando como pianista cuando empezó a considerar su carrera como fotógrafo. Tras ver unas fotografías de Paul Stand decidió que la cámara y no el piano, regiría su destino.
Tanto su madre como su tía le aconsejaron:
-”No dejes el piano. La cámara no puede expresar el alma humana”
A lo que Ansel respondió:
-”Es cierto, la cámara no puede, pero el fotógrafo sí”.
