Fastnet Rock (Irish: An Charraig Aonair, meaning Rock of Solitude or Lonesome Rock) is a small clay-slate island with quartz veins and the most southerly point of Ireland, 6.5 km southwest of Cape Clear Island (Oileán Chléire) in County Cork, which is itself 13 km (8 miles) from the mainland. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean 11.3 km south of mainland County Cork, at latitude 51.37°N. It rises to about 30 m above low water mark. Study of the documentary record suggests that the name is from Old Norse Hvastann-ey 'sharp tooth island'.

 

Divided into Fastnet Rock proper and the much smaller Little Fastnet to the south by a 10 m (30 ft) wide channel, it also had the nickname 'Ireland's Teardrop' as it was the last part of the country seen by Irish emigrants to the United States in the 19th century as they sailed past it.

FASTNET ROCK

 

I write a logbook in this lighthouse,

Autumn waning, winter coming

Wind from the North

Gelid blowing;

Sun cloud-shadowed,

shortening days.

ships wave battered,

ploughing ocean,

And every night

migrant birds calling.

Spindrift sprayed.

The tower windows;

A time of change

That's my log.

Our workshop group hiked the 1.5 miles upward to the Delicate Arch for a sunset shoot. The hike at 5600 ft was not easy but I was rewarded with this incredible scene.

 

The Lasal Mountains are on the horizon.

 

For composition, I did not place the arch in the center of the frame but slightly off-center. I moved back and forth until I got the mountain peaks just where I wanted them through the arch. I also included some of the formation on the left. The sandstone plateua slopes gently downward to the right, giving some nice diagonal lines to the composition.

 

The far side of this arch is a shear drop into the canyon beyond, which is why you never see any images of the arch from that side.

 

It is difficult to get the scale of this arch. I will post an image next with a person in it for scale. When you get up close to this arch, it is anything but delicate. It is massive and the western leg is very thick. I guess it was named Delicate Arch because it looks that way from a distance.

Une pause, un moment particulier juste pour se laisser envelopper par le silence de la nuit, bercée par les notes légères de Chopin ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvxS_bJ0yOU ).

 

Un petit coin du village de Neive dans le Piémont, aux maisons serrées les unes contre les autres et blotties sous son église San Michele, caressée par le silence nocturne

This is a somewhat unremarkable photo yet I enjoy it. I don't know the place but I imagine that the folks who ran it got old and it was sold out to a larger neighbor who maybe keeps a hired man here on occasion.

The reason that I enjoy it is it looks like a place that I might have grown up around so its fun to take a mental walk through this photo. I can imagine good meals cooked here, early dark mornings, gatering eggs, jumping in the pickup to check cattle or fix fence or going down to the barn to saddle a colt for a days ride.

No Doubt a familly lived here and the news of births, graduations, weddings and funerals were discussed here, low cattle prices were worried about and possibly a daugter off to college and son off to the military could have been part of the fabric of this home place.

Taken on a trek to 4 Waterfalls with a friend from work Tony its his first visit to the amazing waterfalls in South Wales

No HDR for this shot was taken 7.05am as the skies were changing colour and yes ive desaturated it in CS2

 

Never been happy with anything from this place

Its one awesome waterfall and one hard trek - The issue is here its a head on shot for the best angle .We did park up by The Angel pub to go to Ddwli & Gwladys but at the last minute i changed my mind :-) Note to self when you go next time purchase a torch

 

Taken with my 450d as my 5D Mark II is still in the repair shop at Canon

 

Another note to myself below this waterfall is a series of small waterfalls that require a visit soon :-)

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.

 

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ria_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.

The Saint Paul Cathedral was approaching it's 100th birthday (June 2-3, 2006) and in honor of the occasion the building, normally dark at night, was lit up.

 

Hundreds of people came to see the sight, and the whole thing turned into a kind of impromptu lawn party. And just about everybody had a camera. I've never walked through so many other peoples' frames in my life!

I don't think I can say who inspired me this, because it's kind of cliche..but you can say it's inspired by this amazing girl ;)

 

I edited this in picnik. I never did that before..and I never knew Picnik was so helpful :DD It totally help me tone down the sharp blue-ness background I had before!!

 

I STILL HAVEN'T STARTED STUDYING YET. D:

Gotta stop procrastinating......

 

I think I'll do tags here (:

 

1. Exams starts in 2 weeks!!!

2. I'm moving on from that guy. It's not worth waiting for a guy who avoided me for exactly 10 months. Moving to a new country means less connection, but I never thought he'll be avoiding me like this. I'll be in the same place as him next month. I doubt he'll be finding me anyway. Screw that promise of his about taking me everywhere after I come back, don't think that'll happen :/

3. I loove Bruno Marss <3

4. I use to love Taylor Swift. Well I still do, but she sings about stuff that well...frankly I think she sings too much about her life, like how she's the victim of whatever relationship she was in..I like her old songs when she really sings from her heart which I can actually relate to...

5. TEAM JUMBA IN AMAZING RACE. nuff said. <3 I support Mallory and Gary too ;) They're awesome! By the way did you guys see the latest episode? The bear in the race and Michael's reaction made me lol'd XDDD

6. David Choi. WongFuProductions. NigaHiga. YOUTUBE x)) They're my 3 favourites :DD (Nooo not because they're all asian, because they have amazing talents which I like :D)

7. Planning a getaway on an island in Hong Kong in early Jan with my friends :D

8. I cry myself to sleep sometimes. Not anymore but used to :s

9. I finally feel slightly at home here with my classmates, feeling less distant with them. But we have only 2 more weeks and we'll probably never see each other again (they want to change university..)

10. I want a new camera. My brother said he'll buy one for me for my birthday, but...I don't think he will :( I don't have a job either...D:

 

I stillllll have 2 more tags to do. But they're things I like tag, so I'll do one after exam and then do another one once I get back to Hong Kong, so it's like things I like in Aussie and things I like in Hongkie hahaha ;D

 

Those tagged...just want to say I love you all for supporting my stream by leaving comments/favorites/views here!! I'm sorry if I forgot anyone :o

This tiny mosquito which is around 2-3mm long is more challenging to shoot than the jumping spiders because it keeps on flying from one leaf to another. Here I shot him under a leaf where he thought to be a safe place to hide.

This was taken with the 18-55mm reversed lens and a new DYI diffuser. Sometimes it is not practical to use the DYI diffuser that I made last time coz it´s too big and scares the insects. About the lenses, I still prefer to use the 18-55mm than the 28mm or 50mm prime lens because it´s easier to focus and adjust to get the necessary magnification.

It seems fairy lights give you a very unusual facial structure, all the photos looked so funny. I had to run outside at 11.30 when I got home after realizing the photos I'd initially taken hadn't worked out, sorry it's a rush job :( I seemed to spend the entire day sleeping, or streaming tv, it's been one of those miserable days when you don't feel like dealing with anything and sit round eating vast amounts of chocolate instead :P I've now run out of House, NCIS, Castle & How I Met Your Mother - it's traumatic! I have nothing left to watch, any suggestions of good stuff are very welcome.

 

Inspired by anyone with a love of fairy lights :)

 

Anyhow I'm desperate for sleep as I'm up at 6 again for work, 4.5 hours sleep - hoorah. Night flickrites!

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".

WHAT IS EXPLORE?

"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.

 

Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.

 

Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.

 

Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

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.

Finally felt good enough to walk to the neighborhood park early this morning. And, as always, I had my camera in tow. It is amazing how I always come away from these early morning walks with deeper appreciation of things familiar - the sun rising over my neighborhood, the silhouettes of trees and rooftops, the ever elusive birds chirping about, the morning dew on the grass. I collect these memories and if I'm lucky, I capture some of them just as I see it. Here's one for sharing -- a moment filled with magic.

 

I hope you all are enjoying the 4th! And enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Always Better on BLACK!

 

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!

This is a photo of the same cutie from yesterday :) He looks less cute now, don't you agree? I only cropped the photo, and no other post processing was used.

I'll be gone in a few hours and you will receive an email from me in regards. Am not sure for now how long I will stay away but it will be for quite awhile. Willem will continue to upload photos of mine in the time that I will be gone, and there are thousands taken in the last few months.

Wishing you only great times and the best of shooting possibilities and hope to be able to visit your streams soon. {{{HUGS}}} from me to all of you's :)

It's been a very long day at work today, left the house at 7:30 this morning, got back at 9:30 tonight and have had a somewhat hectic time inbetween (productive though!) I'm quite surprised I managed to remember to take a photo of the day tonight with the little brain function I have left! LOL!

 

There is (as often the case!) a bit of a story here. Some of the older children at school were selling flowers this evening as part of their enterprise project. When I left to come home there was just one sad and lonely and very wilted gerbera sitting in a bucket of water. It looked such a sad specimen I couldn't resist taking it home, giving it a trim and some water and then immortalising it with a photo! There's something quite satisfying about taking an ugly duckling and turning into a swan! ;-))

Anyway, the Gerbera has perked up and I'm waffling, I should really go to bed! Will catch up tomorrow! :-)

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:

Smarrimento tutto intorno al proprio mondo, tutto è smarrito, tutto sembra non essere al proprio posto, ti svegli la mattina sudato, memore di un sogno, ma che sogno non è…

 

Un incubo…

 

Ne prendi coscienza subito dopo, ma non ti ricordi il perché di tutta questa agitazione, come se da fantasma, non stessi piu li, o meglio, il mondo non è piu tuo, chissa dove sei, chissa cosa sei…

 

Tutto ti sembra cosi irreale, tutto ti scivola dalle mani, tutto diventa difficile da gestire, ma quello che ti preoccupa è capire, se è la realtà…

 

O la memoria del sonno…

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lost along the road.

 

Dismay everything around his own world, everything is lost, everything seems not to be to the really place, you wake up the morning, mindful of a dream, but that it is not a dream...

 

A nightmare...

 

You take later immediately conscience Of it, but you don't remember yourself the why of this whole nervousness, as if from ghost, anymore them I was not, or better, the world is not your anymore, who knows where you are, who knows thing you are...

 

Everything seems yourself so unreal, everything it slips you from the hands, everything it becomes difficult to manage, but what worries yourself is to understand, if it is the reality...

 

Or the memory of the sleep...

Senti il ritmo indiavolato dei pensieri che avvertono che

questo è l'istante di spaccarsi le mani .......

 

anche se......

 

Vedi gli occhi che si abituano a guardare nel sangue di chi

non si risparmia e cerca il sole anche dove non c'è.......

 

Apri la bocca e fai fuoco

brucia la calma che hai

apri la bocca e dai fiato

usa la forza che hai.

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! :)

Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah

 

Dead Horse Point State Park is a state park of Utah, USA, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. The park is so named because of its use as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century. The "dead horse" part of the name is that the corral was abandoned, but the horses did not leave the corral, even after the gate was left open, and died there :(
