:::: I love Provence, Gordes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, France.

Gordes is a very beautiful old village, perched on the southern edge of the high Plateau de Vaucluse in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, France. The stone buildings built in tight against the base of the cliffs and those perched on the rocks above, including the 12th-century castle, are made of an beige stone that glows orange in the morning sun. The view from the village is a southern panorama out across fields and forests and small perched villages to the Montagne du Luberon. Gordes is one of the "in" villages of Luberon where many movies stars and artists have made their home. Due to its privileged position, its exceptional charm and its typical architecture, Gordes has been listed as "one of the most beautiful villages of France".
El primer documento que hay de la iglesia es del siglo X y aparece con el antiguo nombre de Buc, que después fue cambiado por el actual. En 1032 aparece ya como Sant Andreu y como parroquia. Fue transformada y después mutilada. En 1976, fue restaurada y devuelta a su estado primitivo. Es un edificio de planta basilical de tres naves, cubiertas con bóvedas de cañón y cabeceadas por tres ábsides semicirculares. La nave central es más alta que las laterales, lo cual hace que el ábside central tenga mayor dimensión que las absidiolas laterales. Este ábside central está iluminado por tres ventanas, mientras que los laterales solo tienen una y más pequeñas que las del ábside central. Destaca su decoración lombarda que ocupa los dos muros, la fachada de poniente y también la cabecera. Un friso de arquerías lombardas entre lesenas decora el ábside central, las absidiolas laterales están decoradas solo con un friso de arquerías ciegas. Un friso de arquerías ciegas bajo el alero, decora los muros de las naves laterales y los de la central que sobresalen de los tejados.En la fachada de poniente, si bien ha sido modificada por la puerta moderna y un campanario de época posterior encima, también podemos observar resiguiendo los vertientes de la cubierta un friso de arquerías ciegas. La puerta original estaba en el muro sur, pero hoy está tapiada; pese a ello se aprecia su sencillez, con un arco de medio punto adovelado. En el muro norte hay otra puerta, tapiada, con un arco de medio punto adovelado. El portal actual de acceso es moderno y se abre a la fachada oeste.
A ria de Aveiro estende-se, pelo interior, paralelamente ao mar, numa distância de 45 quilómetros e com uma largura máxima de onze quilómetros, no sentido Este-Oeste, desde Ovar até Mira.
A Ria é o resultado do recuo do mar, com a formação de cordões litorais que, a partir do século XVI, formaram uma laguna que constitui um dos mais importantes e belos acidentes hidrográficos da costa portuguesa.
Abarca onze mil hectares, dos quais seis mil estão permanentemente alagados, desdobra-se em quatro importantes canais ramificados em esteiros que circundam um sem número de ilhas e ilhotes. Nela desaguam o rio Vouga, o Antuã, o Boco e o Fontão, tendo como única comunicação com o mar um canal que corta o cordão litoral entre a Barra e S. Jacinto, permitindo o acesso ao Porto de Aveiro, de embarcações de grande calado.
Rica em peixes e aves aquáticas, possui grandes planos de água, locais de eleição para a prática de todos os desportos náuticos. Ainda que tenha vindo a perder, de ano para ano, a importância que já teve na economia aveirense, a produção de sal, utilizando técnicas milenares, é, ainda, uma das actividades tradicionais mais características de Aveiro.

The Aveiro Lagoon (Ria de Aveiro) is a coastal lagoon in Portugal. It is located on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, south the municipalitiy of Espinho and north of Mira (to the north of the Cape Mondego). Its average area covers approximately 75 km². It is named after the city of Aveiro, which is the chief urban centre located nearby the lagoon. Other urban centres near the Ria de Aveiro are Ílhavo, Gafanha da Nazaré, Estarreja, Ovar and Esmoriz. Some beaches nearby include those of Barra, Costa Nova, Torreira, Vagueira, Furadouro, Cortegaça and Praia de Mira. There are also beaches in the São Jacinto Peninsula.
Olivers Hill is located in the City of Frankston, Victoria in Australia. It is the first major rise in terrain along the eastern coastline of Port Phillip, between Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. It was named after local Frankston fisherman, James Oliver, who built the first cottage atop the hill in the mid-19th century, from where he kept watch for fish in the waters below - Wikipedia

Dedicated to my dear friend Mark aka Maloe4 for the lovely Testimonial he surprised me with. You're a real sweetie, my friend. I appreciate you! :)
A sunset from a trip a while ago. This was such a glorious day and a wonderful trip. I was born in this part of the Country so I guess a part of my heart will always be there.
Hope everyone's having a great Friday and weekend!

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

Often, when dealing with environmental issues, the focus is solely on the animal species or ecosystems at risk of extinction, but we left on the sidelines or pay less attention to trees that are the foundation of ecosystems and play a key role in nature.
Some of the most typical trees of the Earth are also some who are at greater risk of extinction. It is worth sounding the alarm and support conservation efforts.
This tree stands alone at the Fossil Creek Reservoir Open Space. I really like shooting here, and this tree in particular because it has so much character. This is three images, 1 stop apart and tonemapped in photomatix. There was a little more post processing done by adding diffuse glow to the clouds to make the sunset a little more prominent.
I dug this out of my files, this was taken on April of 2010. Its quite a rush standing on the edge of a 600+ foot bluff. I actually lowered my tripod and sat in the lotus position to get these shots, much safer. Its a great location, I was hoping for a boat to come around the bend to offer a bit of perspective but it never happened.
All C&C is welcome
i could take some of my own advice there.. or, rather, bobby mcferrin's advice
i have a little break from classes and work now
spent this first day well- with friends and sun and i'm taking a trip in a few days. i plan to take a lot of photographs
this is ancient- from the petrichor shoot. the rest of the beautiful em can be found here.
well, guess this month is basically done. wow.
19/20
might have to wait for day 20 on the first of april because the cousins are coming.. but we'll see
on a separate note, anyone want to buy me pro? it's about to expire. i would literally love you

A south central Louisiana egret returns to the nest without a stick. He had been bringing them quite often but this time he did not. The female was at the nest and (about two feet above and to the left) she ran him off to go find one! :-)
This shot was taken at 6:40 am so the shadows were very dark and low angle sun had fairly good light on the bird.

On weekends many regattas happen - they leave from Lisbon and go all the way into the Atlantic sea.
Here on the Tejo river under the Bridge away they go happy sailing away; the pleasant things of living in Lisbon.
Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday and nice begging of the week!

Thar Desert - Rajasthan. - Dryin chili for sale
Il Deserto di Thar,noto anche come il Gran Deserto Indiano, è una grande ed arida regione nella parte nord-occidentale del subcontinente indiano. Con una superficie di oltre 200.000 chilometri quadrati, è settimo deserto a livello mondiale per estensione. Si trova in gran parte nello stato indiano del Rajasthan, e si estende nella parte meridionale degli stati indiani del Punjab, Haryana e Gujarat settentrionale. In Pakistan il deserto copre la regione orientale delle provincia del Sind e la parte sud-occidentale del Punjab.
(Da Wikipedia)
The Thar Desert (Hindi: थार मरुस्थल), also known as the Great Indian Desert, is a large, arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. With an area of more than 200,000 km2, it is world's 7th largest desert and also Asia's 3rd largest desert. The Thar desert along with the Sahara desert of Africa, Arabian peninsula desert, and Cholistan desert in Pakistan are part of the same desert formation. It lies mostly in the Indian state of Rajasthan, and extends into the southern portion of Haryana and Punjab states and into northern Gujarat state. In Pakistan, the desert covers eastern Sindh province and the southeastern portion of Pakistan's Punjab province.

This wonderful building was designed by one of the most prominent architectural firms in Philadelphia in the early 1900s, McKim, Mead, and White along with Frank Furness, another prominent architect of the time. The building was completed in 1931, one hundred years after Stephen Girard. After completion the building was used as the Girard Trust Company Building as a part of Stephen Girard's banking company. Stephen Girard is renowned for personally saving the United States economy during the War of 1812.
Today, the building is the location of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The well-known restaurant 10 Arts is located here. As well as the Richel D'Ambra Spa & Salon. I love the old Greek-inspired architecture of Philadelphia!
Number 11 Highest Position on Explore and Front Page! Thank you everybody :)
The good news: I got 7 rolls of film developed today!
The bad news: My brand new Pentax 50mm lens is busted. The focus is ALL off... so everything I took on the last couple rolls of film is pretty much an exercise in blur. Unintentional and irritating, though some of the effects might be salvageable. Since I only got it 2 months ago, the store where I bought it will send it back to Pentax, and they'll either fix or replace it. I have a backup lens that sucks, so I'm not sure if I'll keep shooting with that, or just wait it out. ::grumblemutter::
But hey... how often do I get to take a picture and post it the same day when it's film? That's good, right? :-)
Now, those that know me will know that I am not in the habit of blowing my own trumpet, but I am so delighted with the fact that I have had a photograph of Loch Ard published in Outdoor Photography magazine, that I wanted to let you know that this would not have been possible without the support of my flickr friends and contacts who have supported, critiqued and given me the confidence to believe that I could have got to this stage, so to all you guys and lasses out their who are just starting or trying to improve all the aspects of this wonderful art, my message is , dont give up... I didnt know one end of a digital SLR from the other three years ago, but I asked hundreds of questions of my friend on flickr and learned that they are only too willing to help and encourage... So this is for them!!.... many thanks!!
When you think you are alone. When you think nobody is watching. When you feel at home... Think twice, I might be there too.
So this is my absolutely drop-dead gorgeous friend Sarah, whom I have known since we were little girls. She and I went on a photoshoot this evening, which was so much fun, and we got tons and tons of beautiful pictures. It was so nice to finally have a model to use, though it was strange being behind the camera instead of in front of it. It was refreshing, actually. :) I will be uploading many more pictures from this shoot in the next few days; I really am so happy with how this shoot went and how the pictures turned out. We may be doing another shoot in the future as well, so you will probably be seeing more of her.
Off to edit some more of the pictures now. Hope you all are having a great Friday night!
With the recent activity of rowdy Flashin' Dan (the male Rufous Hummingbird that thas taken over as lord of the feeders) I was afraid that Victor may have left for more tranquil grounds. While I was out this evening under clouded skies, a sudden buzz, followed by a brillant flash of pink let me know that he was still about.
One of the many ground squirrels (aka marmots or groundhogs) of the Grand Canyon. Taken on the South Rim trail with a 55mm (equiv. 82mm), no crop. Despite the signs, the cute furry balls are clearly fed by the hords of tourists, otherwise they wouldn't display this behaviour (and size !).
Part of my US West Coast set.

This shot was taken in Lisbon's Subway (or metro, underground, subte depending of the country you are seeing this. :D ).
It was rush hour, so it was kind of challenging taking this shot. Lots of people where passing by and every one was looking at the crazy man on his knees holding a camera on the ground. Adding to this, is is forbidden to take photos in Lisbon's "underground, subway, elevated or metro(politan)", so I had to do it quiklly.

By an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards, and asked the Fox what he was doing down there.
"Oh, have you not heard?" said the Fox; "there is going to be a great drought, so I jumped down here in order to be sure to have water by me. Why don't you come down too?"
The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well.
"Good-bye, friend," said the Fox, "remember next time:
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties

I really like pictures of weeds...I don't know why but I do. Anyway, I've had this one processed and sitting on my computer for weeks. I've hesitated posting it because I don't know if I'm the only one who finds this cool or not. I think sometimes I care too much about what others think of an image instead of focusing on the fact that I love it and that's all that really matters.
Looking forward to hearing if I'm alone on this one or not. Feeling a little vulnerable about this...I think because I love this weed stuff so much and it's kind of the direction I want to go in with more photos but I have no clue if anyone else would like this kind of thing!! Help...I need someone to snap me out of this funk today.
Thanks in advance! :)
For the first round of this year’s RogueOlympics over on RogueBricks I decided to build a little love letter to late nights and captivating books, a combination I would often be consumed by when I was younger. I hope you like it!
The RogueOlympics require you to stick to 101 elements or less so this little scene was built with a total of 92 bricks. It’s always great fun to work around those restrictions as it’s so different from most other contests, so of course I had to join.
Feel free to join this ongoing contest yourself! You can join each week for a different theme that needs to be built with 101 elements or less.
Thanks to Isaac for some help with the title!
My last shot is ending up to be the most popular in my short time here on Flickr, so yesterday afternoon I ventured out to the same spot in Brisbane’s bayside in search of some cloudy reflections .
Nature unfortunately didn’t play the game, and not a single puffy cloud was in sight :<
The sun had just set and I turned around to see this beautiful layer of colors in the sky and the moon begging for some attention!!!
This spot was given to me by Kane, check out his stream, it’s impressive!
And... because today is my BIRTHDAY, i dedicate these flowers to all my flickr friends!
Thank you for your friendship and support!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
- excerpts from I Am Rainbow by oshumare niji
i thought nothing could have expressed my feelings more than this poem. here it is in its entirety, if you so care to read:
looking in a puddle on a semi-rainy day
i saw myself but dimly
imperfect, and muddy with other
i wavered as the puddle did, as raindrops struck
sending ripples out like waves of pain
not quite shattering in shards distortions of my image
then i looked up--
what? was that a flash of color?
sun and rain, laughter and pain
i saw it melt together, i saw it become one
the winds of change blew in waters of healing
and the lowly dust became fixed and stable
and was wrapped around by her transforming light
reflections and refractions
i saw the sign of hope, the symbol of renewal
i saw the rainbow bridge that crosses heaven and earth
bringing the sacred back to the mundane
and i realized that i am rainbow
i saw then my image, with the ripples of life's pain
spreading outward, but stopped, healed, cleansed
reflected and refracted away as nature and nature connected
the rain still falls, still strikes, still stings
and i am wetted, but no longer drowning
and i went forth and had myself
a bright and shining multicolored day
324 days away from the next trip to the Philippines.
i believe i can fly.
---------
