L’antic terme del Pi comprenia part dels actuals municipis de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès i de Sora (Osona); (s’estenia des de l’església de Sant Genís del Pi, de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès, fins al mas Casa-ramona, de Sora). Depenia al s XI de la jurisdicció del monestir de Ripoll ; perdé l’autonomia com a terme avançat el segle XVI
Quan a la parròquia de Sant Genís del Pi prop del mas Casademunt, al NE del terme el lloc pertanyia a Ripoll des d’abans del 938. Els homes del Pi gaudien d’autonomia i d’organització civil pròpia, que depenia del paborde de Palau, del monestir ripollès. Avançat el segle XVI es desféu d’aquesta organització, i part de la gent restà sotmesa a Sora i part a Sant Agustí. L’església era proveïda pel paborde de Palau, i encomanada al rector de Sant Agustí al segle XVII.
L’edifici actual fou construït al segle XVIII, i el 1878 perdé els atributs parroquials. Malgrat això, en el petit cementiri observem la construcció recent de nínxols,flors i estris de naturalesa funerària, que son clares senyals justament del manteniment d’algunes activitats especifiques i pròpies de les Parròquies.
L’Alou és un petit nucli, al N del terme, format per un carrer amb força pendent al llarg del qual es troben les cases. Just al costat oposat de la Vall que conformen juntament amb la Parròquia i el Cementiri del Pi.
En la Plaza de Armas, que fue en la época colonial el centro de la vida oficial y publica de La Habana, se alza un monumento llamado El Templete. En su columna conmemorativa hay una inscripción en latín, casi borrada, que traducimos como sigue: "Detén el paso, caminante, adorna este sitio con un árbol, una ceiba frondosa. Fue tenida por primera vez la reunión de los prudentes concejales hace ya mas de dos siglos: era conservado por una tradición perpetua: sin embargo, cedió al tiempo. La inscripción da fe de que en ese lugar hubo una ceiba y que bajo su sombra se celebro la primera misa y el Cabildo recibió la guarda y custodia de los fueros y privilegios de la villa de La Habana, según costumbre y usanza de las leyes de Castilla.
Photo taken at the Shelly Beach - Manly and I still remember that morning, it was adventure as Mick G9 promised. I was never fan of HDR photography but sometimes we need to experiment and Michael Lynch was kind enough to be still for couple minutes till I take 10 different exposures and this is the product. Dark side of HDR is high noise, once when I started to correct noise I lost clarity...bugger...I hope you like..

Listen Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby you're the best
I wasn't looking but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better
Sometimes I wish someone would
Nobody does it half as good as you
Why'd you have to be so good
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running, but just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do
And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Baby, baby
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Baby you're the best
Carly Elisabeth Simon (born June 25, 1945) is an American singer/songwriter and musician. She is also an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and two-time Grammy Award winner. Simon was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994.

That were once filled
With brilliant fantasy,
Of all that could be.
Close my eyes,
And imagine soaring,
Flying through sapphire skies
And shimmering stardust...
Never ending dreams.
Empty spaces
That once held
Indescribable love
And soul destroying lust.
Grasped at one-thousand kisses
And wiped away a thousand tears.
Empty spaces,
Which when you filled them,
Showed me off to the world
And to myself.
A touch to open my eyes.
Empty spaces,
Where your fingers
Once wound around mine.
Empty spaces,
That will be filled again someday.

Between 6th and 7th Street there is a small area that is infested with drug dealers and gang members. I was told many times not to walk in that area. You think I listened? Well, whilst in that area I came across this man. He has caused quite a commotion amongst you. It was a hot day…brilliant sunshine but he was sat in the shade….back resting against a wall. I approached and asked if he minded me sitting next to him for a while. He said no…so I parked my ass down on the curbside. He asked me what I was doing with my cameras and I explained I was a crazy Englishman who didn’t value his life. He laughed of course, which was beautiful to see because I have never seen a face as sad in all my life. I gave him a cigarette. In fact I gave him the whole pack. I went on to explain how I took pictures of homeless people and shared them online. He smiled again. I wondered what I said that was so funny. He went on to explain that there are MANY photographers who go down to that area but in the majority of cases they hang their lenses out of the car window and never get out. “That’s fucking wrong” he retorted. I nodded my head and asked would he mind me taking his picture. “Of course not…you asked” he replied.
We talked some more. Mostly about shit that doesn’t matter but for those few hours or so…it kinda did….you know….

Giving this a go in the deleteme group. We shall see.
She is the hider. NOT the seeker. During our walk i told her to go hide so Lola could find her, and this is her interpretation. To be a 2 year old. :)
Another from my first attempt at RAW in CS2, enjoying it. I used a bit of vignetting in this one too, more obvious here.
Shot with my very nifty 50mm F1.4. Has to be the best lens purchase I have ever made.
The difference between whether you say, 'I wish I would have,' or 'I'm glad I did,' at the end of your life is whether or not you take DECISIVE ACTION during your life.

Experimented with DoF, this one was interesting, the bigger flower was little away from my focus and smaller one was my PoF, and as always this piece of nature also has a great message for us, not every body is equal in this world, some are rich, some are poor, some have disabilities and some have rare abilities, but no matter who you are and how you are there is something special in everyone of us, everyone one of us are special in some way are the other. Never underestimate yourself, if you are not special to yourself then don't expect others to expect that you are special. Belief in yourself, you are special, no matter who you are.

Whittington Castle..BEST VIEW ON View On Black
Whittington Castle is very impressive and picturesque, situated in the heart of Whittington village.
Although little remains today of Whittington Castle to suggest the glory of its magnificent hay-day, the gatehouse towers are still standing, reflected in the clear water of the moat, home to a small community of swans and ducks.
Whittington Castle looks especially good when floodlit, with the light reflected in the water of the moat.
The famous Bishop Howe, a son of Shrewsbury and author of the hymn 'For All The Saints', was a rector of the Georgian church in Whittington for 28 years.
The village of Whittington, near Oswestry is the setting for the remains of a feudal fortress.
Whittington Castle is first mentioned in 1138, when it was fortified by the Norman Chief, William Peverell against King Stephen.
William Peverell, the reputed son of William the Conqueror, who had fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 was given property and lordships in Derbyshire and he was also awarded Whittington castle.
William Peverell demolished the original wooden castle and replaced it with one built from stone.
The Castles position on the border with wales gave it a valuable role in history and the Peverells held it until the twelfth century.
On the death of William Peverell, the castle passed to his son Pain Peverell, who in turn left it to his son William. This is where the male right to succession seemed to end, as William had no son, only two daughters.
In the early twelfth century, ownership of Whittington Castle passed from the Peverells to Warine de Metz who became founder of the line of Fulk-Warines. Warine de Metz was succeeded by Fulk Fitz Warine, his son, who was knighted by Henry the First.
The next Fulk became a famous warrior, fighting and slain in the battle of Lewis, Sussex. He left a son and heir, and a daughter called Eve. In 1221 Fulk was given a licence to fortify the Castle, to repel Welsh invaders.
The main feature of the new defenses at Whittington was a rectangular inner bailey, en-circled by a stone wall
with semi-circular towers at it four corners.
A succession of Fulks followed, one of which was also a warlike warrior, who attended the Black Prince into Gascoigne and the Earl of Warwick into Flanders, amongst other places.
This Fulk expressed a wish that upon his death he be buried in the chancel of the church at Whittington. It is rumored that his remains, found in an Oak coffin three inches thick, were found in the porch of the present St. John the Baptist church in the eighteenth century.
Fulk Fitz Warine III and his family held the castle at Whittington until 1420, upon the extinction of the male line.
The flavor of the month seems to be "Light Trails". Recently there have been tons on "light trail" photos on Explore everyday. Here's one from my archives that I had shelved since I hadn't had chance to process it.
Canon XSi
18-55 mm @ 36mm
ISO 100
6 sec @ f/11
No HDR
This photo was taken when I did not have any filters at my disposal. I tried using a polarizer to cut out 2 stops of light, but discarded all those photos, since the street lights caused a lot of flares with the polarizer. Ideally - I would have liked to capture this a little earlier in the day which would have reduced the halo caused by the street-lights.
Here's one of my first attempts at Selective Coloring. The original image - by itself - is not so bad, but the lack of any interesting elements in the sky and the foreground makes it a little flat. I came up with this processing idea in order to cut out the clutter and minimize the effects of all the distracting elements.
Dad playing the Wii. Which is very hilarious to me because Jeremy wants one SO bad but my dad refuses to buy him another video game system. We have 2 NES's, one SNES, one N64, 2 PS1's, 2 PS2's and a Game Cube. Plus we have the first Gameboy, and Jeremy personally (personally meaning he doesn't share them with the family, hah) has the first colour Gameboy, a flippy Gameboy, and 2 of the touchy pencil thingy Gameboys. And for each system we have over 20 games in addition to controlers, rumble packs, memory cards, all those accessories. Yeah, add it up. The boy is OBSESSED with video games. My dad is vehemently against buying him any more because that's all he seems to do anymore is play video games. So It was just really funny to me that my dad got sucked into playing the Wii at a friends house on New Years. Jeremy didn't come to the party obviously, because if he had my dad would not have touched the damn thing. And he had SO much fun playing it! It was fun to watch him. You can see he's sort of smiling here. :)
Oeschinensee near Kandersteg, Switzerland
Oeschinen Lake is a lake in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, 4 kilometres east of Kandersteg in the Oeschinen valley. At an elevation of 1,578 metres (5,177 ft), it has a surface area of 1.1147 square kilometres (0.4304 sq mi). Its maximum depth is 56 metres (184 ft).
The lake is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. The water then re-surfaces as the Oeschibach. Part of it is captured for electricity production and as water supply for Kandersteg.

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."

I was editing this picture of a World War II cemetery memorial last week, and happened to see an article in the newspaper about this very memorial. The newspaper article made me aware that the coming weeks (August 14 - September 2) mark the 66th anniversary of the end of World War II.
This sculpture entitled, "The Four Freedoms", is named for the four basic freedoms that President Franklin D Roosevelt thought everyone in the world should enjoy. (Freedom of speech and expression, Freedom of worship, Freedom from want, and Freedom from fear.)
This memorial sculpture is the work of artist Adolph Wolter and was dedicated on VJ-Day, 1948 at the White Chapel Cemetery in Troy, MI. For the past 62 years since this monument was erected, the cemetery has hosted a WWII commemorative ceremony. I attended this year's celebration earlier today and will post some pictures of the event in the coming days.

The river in shallows murmured and chattered,
In deep pools, sighing, swishing, and swirling.
The sun blazing down on great patches of gold.
The Gorse bushes popping, their seed pods exploding.
While the Broom gently swayed, wafting its perfume
On the delicate touch of the breeze from the river.
Nature could not have been kinder
That day, as we walked in its splendour.
We shyly held hands - it was our first meeting.
Then we sat on the grass in quiet conversation.
Long pauses, deep sighs, then trickles of words,
Nervous laughs, like the sounds of the river
As it flowed past our feet.
We turned to each other with lips slightly pouting,
Both of us nervous of that very first kiss.
Our lips barely touched, like a butterfly flutter,
Or was it a puff from the wind on the river?
Your sweet tiny face seemed mounted in gold,
Eyes open wide and Kingfisher blue.
New love, young love, needs time to mature,
But we drifted apart, then found love once again.
True love, mature love, but not with each other.
Yet still the Broom, its perfume heart stopping,
And the Golden Gorse goes on pleasing,
Down by the river, for other lovers walking,
Just as it did when we were so young.
(David Lewis)
Lutry, my favourite village (actually, it's the most beautiful of Switzerland - in my view), my favourite iron bridge, being populated by a couple in love, a mother with her three children (!!), and underneath neatly arranged a few ducks and water birds... All this gently decorated and framed with the last leaves of a large tree.
The small river is leading here into Lac Léman (Lake Leman or Lake Geneva) which again has EVERYTHING, sandy and pebbly beaches, benches, rocks and the most clear and wonderful (and often cold) water... - and NOW let me go back to my day dreams!:)

Petit coin sympathique découvert avec Yoann hier après midi accessible à marée basse après une petite marche sur la plage précédente. Cette plage est bordée de très grands palétuviers et le sable recouvert par endroits de feuilles mortes. Quand nous sommes arrivés, le soleil passait déjà sous l'horizon, il a fallut trouver rapidement des éléments de composition (en évitant de se faire piquer par une escadrille de taons :-).

Sympathetic spot discovered with Yoann yesterday afternoon accessible to low tide after a small walk on the preceding beach. This range is bordered with very high mangroves trees and the sand covered by places with black leaves. When we arrived, the sun was nearly below the horizon, we had to quickly find elements of composition (while avoiding being bitten by a group of horseflies :-).

[soundtrack: cara catastrofe - le luci della centrale elettrica]
Tutti i nostri occhi pieni di disordini, di chiavi duplicate di nascosto e poi perse. Cara catastrofe in quei corridoi bianchi interminabili. Cara catastrofe e i tuoi aerei dispersi. Ancora tu e i nostri piatti rotti. I nostri inutili patti atlantici, notturni. Tra il bianco delle lenzuola e tutti gli altri continenti che volevamo andare a volare assieme. E aspettando gli aiuti umanitari guardiamo un po' raitre. Quando per razionalizzare ci siamo scardinati il torace. E per le trasfusioni vuoi la vernice rossa perché è più coreografica. Mi hai detto che all'inizio non ero così. che ti ho fregata. Io te e i nostri scudi di plexiglas. i compromessi storici per non ferirci. E appena sei ripartita è come se avessi sentito sulle gambe il caldo dell'aria che usciva dal tubo di scappamento. Anche nei prossimi anni circoleranno ancora veicoli a benzina. E poi mi ritrovo che cammino come non so chi tra le fabbriche lunghe come l'orizzonte. E non capisco quasi niente. altri minatori sottopagati lavorano diciotto ore nei nostri cuori. e se gli alberghi appena costruiti coprono i tramonti tu non preoccuparti. non preoccuparti

A veces cuando pienso que todo esta perdido
voy hacia algunas formas de la muerte
me pego un tiro con una palabra
que alguna vez me fue tan transparente.
En la ternura del agua que corre
me recuerdan la llegada de unos trenes
sales de los mares curvas de los puertos
con mujeres descalzas en el verde
Voy hacia el fuego como la mariposa
y no hay rima que rime con vivir
no te pares no te mates
solo es una forma mas de demorarte.
En las tardes tranquilas
cuando extraño todo
pienso que todo no es lo que perdi
una rosa de feria
y aun a costa de perder
se pierde pero se gana
La lucha es de igual a igual contra uno mismo, ♪♫
y eso es ganarla
no te pares, no te mates
solo es una forma de mas de demorarse.
Recuerdo la quietud de la tierra
la quietud de estar adentro
se cree mas en los milagros
a la hora del entierro
Este hombre trabajo
quien escribira su historia
la cal reseca la viuda que sueña
los amigos que siguen igual
La gloria en zapatillas
el florero vacío
quien sabe si se puso a pensar
para que vivo
vivo para no perder.

I castelli di Cannero furono costruiti tra il 1200 e il 1300 d.C. e vennero denominati "Malpaga". Alla fine del XIV sec. i Mazzarditi, famiglia composta da cinque fratelli, invasero Cannero e si impadronirono anche della Malpaga. In quel periodo Cannobio era divisa fra Guelfi e Ghibellini; i Mazzarditi approfittarono di queste discordie e in una notte fra la fine del 1403 e il 1404 si impossessarono del pretorio comunale uccidendo una moltitudine Guelfi. Quando Filippo Maria Visconti divenne duca di Milano inviò un esercito di 500 uomini per sconfiggere i Mazzarditi, i quali nel 1414 vennero cacciati da Cannero e la Malpaga venne rasa al suolo. Nel 1421 i Mazzarditi ricevettero la grazia dal duca di Milano e ritornarono in patria. Circa trent' anni dopo le isole di Cannero vennero cedute alla famiglia Borromeo, la quale fece edificare sulle rovine una rocca fortificata denominata "Vitaliana". Nella guerra tra gli imperiali e i francesi Ludovico Borromeo appoggiò questi ultimi, anche se nel momento in cui i ducali e gli spagnoli circondarono la Vitaliana i Borromei non ottennero l'aiuto desiderato. Nel 1526 la costruzione della Vitaliana fu terminata; alla morte di Ludovico, il 5 ottobre del 1527, i castelli vennero ereditati dai figli i quali non amministrarono perfettamente le proprietà. Alcuni anni dopo la Vitaliana venne abbandonata perchè era un facile bersaglio in caso di attacco, data la sua posizione vicina alla riva. Divenne asilo di contrabbandieri, rifugio di pescatori e perfino luogo in cui venivano falsificate monete. Nel 1645 i Borromeo pensarono di abbellire i giardini che circondavono la rocca, ma i lavori non presero mai il via, anche il progetto di migliorare il porto fu abbandonato. Oggi su quei tre isolotti esistono solo le rovine della fortezza.

'You breathed infinity into my world
and time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind,
we'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,
now my world is at your feet.
I was lost and I was found,
but I was alive and now I've drowned.

i loved it watching on black, you can try : )
>>This picture is dedicated to this special person:
I took this as part of a photo-walk to shoot birds. At first we thought it would be very easy to photograph birds, they’ll be just sitting on branches and all we need to do is zoom to 200mm (this is the max I have) and click. But it was quite opposite, there was not a single bird on any tree (don’t know what the heck were they doing that early morning) and 200mm was no-way enough to shoot birds.
With this great enlightenment and frustration we started capturing all weird things – fallen leaves, hanging spiders, broken twigs…etc etc, it was then this old man (may be in his 70’s) gave a pat on my shoulder. He smiled at me and showed me these leaves brightly lit by all beautiful morning light, and said, “I think you should try on them". Looking at these leaves I was like "WOW, Thanku Sir" with all smiles.
By the time I finished clicking and turned back, he was far away from me, fast completing his morning walk routine : )
>>It was only a sunny smile and little it cost in the giving but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.

John 8:32 is a blunt, to-the-point bottom line on why we need the truth. "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Some of us live like the truth will scare us to death or hurt too much. But it can't hurt nearly as much as avoiding the truth about yourself - the truth that continues to poison your relationships, limit your life, and bring you down. Someone may be your "mirror" that is irritating or painful to hear from. But God put those people in your life because He loves you too much to let you keep running from the truth that is costing you so much.
The Bible says, "Iron sharpens iron; so a friend sharpens the countenance of his friend." It may be that someone you might consider an enemy has said some things no one else would say to you about you. And while they mean to hurt you, there may be at least some mirror of truth in what they said.
The truth that might be painful never really goes away. Everywhere you go, you take you with you. God loves you too much to let you keep running, denying, and living a lie. So He's put someone in your life to hold up a mirror. Don't reject what the mirror is trying to show you. And don't blame the mirror - it's the message the mirror is trying to give you, not the messenger that's the issue.
Thank God for the mirror He's given you. The truth may be hard to face. It may mean opening up to someone who can really help you with it. It may mean removing a mask you've been hiding behind for a long time, but it's worth all that and more. Because it's the truth, and only the truth, that will finally set you free.

Vine aquí
sé que estàs cansada, els ulls s'et fan petits,
deixa'm abraçar-te
tendrament i calla
que és molt tard i arriba l'hora de dormir.
Posa el cap
a la meva falda i deix la meva mà
espolsar els fantasmes
que t'amoïnen i t'espanten,
tanca els ulls que jo et vigilo des d'aquí.
Dorm tranquil·la i digue'm bona nit,
deix que et porti en braços fins al llit,
jeu ben a la vora,
saps que no estàs sola
mentre et dic a cau d'orella bona nit.
La lluna pel balcó t'esguarda i sé que et fa un petó,
res no té importància
fins demà a trenc d'alba
quan de sobte t'acaroni la claror.
Dorm tranquil·la i digue'm bona nit,
deix que et porti en braços fins al llit,
jeu ben a la vora,
saps que no estàs sola
mentre et dic a cau d'orella bona nit, molt bona nit.
Thanks for the visit, comments, awards, invitations and favorites.

La Fontana di Trevi és la font barroca més gran i coneguda de Roma. Data del segle XVIII i barreja classicisme i barroc, i potser la seva part més coneguda és l'escultura del déu Neptú.
El tema de l'escultura és el mar. L'escenografia està dominada per un carro amb forma de petxina damunt del qual es troba la gran estàtua de l'Oceà, o Neptú, de Pietro Bracci, a la fornícula esquerra es troba l'estàtua de l'Abundància i la de la Salut a la dreta, les dues de Filippo Valle. Els relleus superiors representen a Agripa aprovant la construcció de l'Aqua Virgo i la llegenda del seu origen. Es situa davant del Palazzo Poli, i té 19'8 metres d'amplada i 25'9 d'alçada, a manera de gran arc triomfal.

I am only back for a moment to say:
My Pro account expires on August 6th and seeing as I had to block the man that gifted me with it last year because it turns out he's addicted to porn....I will be gone for a while longer I suppose.
And several of you have been asking whats wrong with my tumblr, I just changed the url:
I havent gotten a chance to read any messages either so please dont think you are being ignored.
K, that is all.
Thank you.
EDIT:
A beautiful girl just bought me another pro account.
Thank you so much Grace
I owe you the world.
:D
It was raining hard the other day so I went back to the Eiffel Tower with my Nikon and the wide-angle (which I normally don't carry in the street), to try a few more shots and see if I could get lucky with some interesting characters. That line of similar umbrellas was one of the good moments :-) No crop.
