I Mick G9 On Black I

 

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..

 

All comments and suggestions welcome.

Ne volim jaunar

  

Ne volim januar i bele zimske vragove

U svakom snegu vidim iste tragove

Tragove malih stopa, broj 30 i ko zna

Kako polako odlaze.

 

Vise ne prolazim ulicom Dositejevom

I nemam pojma kad neko pita gde je to

Tih 206 koraka, duzinom tog sokaka

Nikada nisam brojao

 

Nisam te nikad cuvao

Nisam te nikada mazio, pazio

Tvoju sam ljubav gazio, svemu smisljao broj.

 

Nisam te nikad stedeo

I nisam umeo stati i ostati

Sta ce od mene postati

Mali andjele moj.

Elle levait davantage ses bras, et lui, avec une poussée plus forte, enfonçait son visage dans leur creux. J'étais obligé d'être le complice de cette profanation. J'étais obligé d'être spectateur de ce déhanchement inouï; d'assister à l'alliage forcé de ces deux êtres, dont un abîme incommensurable séparait les natures diverses...

European otter ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_otter ~ The European otter (Lutra lutra), also known as the Eurasian otter, Eurasian river otter, common otter and Old World otter, is a European and Asian member of the Lutrinae or otter subfamily, and is typical of freshwater otters.

 

Description ~ The European otter is a typical species of the otter subfamily. Brown above and cream below, these long, slender creatures are well-equipped for their aquatic habits. Its bones show osteosclerosis, increasing their density to reduce buoyancy. This otter differs from the North American river otter by its shorter neck, broader visage, the greater space between the ears and its longer tail. However, the European otter is the only otter in its range, so it cannot be confused for any other animal. Normally, this species is 57 to 95 cm (23–37 in) long, not counting a tail of 35–45 cm (14–18 in). The female is shorter than the male. The otter's average body weight is 7 to 12 kg (15.4–26.4 lbs), although occasionally a large old male may reach up to 17 kg (37 lbs). The record-sized specimen, reported by a reliable source but not verified, weighed over 24 kg (53 lbs).

 

Range and habitat ~ The European otter is the most widely distributed otter species, its range including parts of Asia and Africa, as well as being spread across Europe. Though currently believed to be extinct in Liechtenstein, and Switzerland, they are now very common in Latvia, along the coast of Norway and across Great Britain, especially Shetland, where 12% of the UK breeding population exist. Ireland has the highest density of Eurasian otters in Europe. In Italy, they can be found in southern parts of the peninsula. The South Korean population is endangered.

 

In general, their varied and adaptable diets mean they may inhabit any unpolluted body of fresh water, including lakes, streams, rivers, and ponds, as long as the food supply is adequate. European otters may also live along the coast, in salt water, but require regular access to fresh water to clean their fur. When living in the sea, individuals of this species are sometimes referred to as "sea otters", but they should not be confused with the true sea otter, a North American species much more strongly adapted to a marine existence.

 

Diet ~ The European otter's diet mainly consists of fish. During the winter and in colder environments, though, fish consumption is significantly lower, and the otters use other sources of food, including amphibians, crustaceans, insects, birds and sometimes small mammals, including young beavers.

You're drawing down the moon

You know

That some small flying thing

I'm casting into cyberspace

The tendrils of my web

A hungry, unknown artist

Not

Another dull celeb

 

The beauty of my photograph

Will catch you if it can

Spinning world illusions

All for unsuspecting men

 

I ask you

For a little while

To stick with me

Immersed in poem-pictures

Life suspended

On the cyber-tree

 

The web of granma spider

Will drain you of your blood

While

Cocoons of poem-pictures

Can transform your mood

 

If you think you are a caterpillar

Climbing up a leaf

I bring a transformation

And a solace for your grief

 

Unlike the hairy spider

I am not a creeping thief

From your dreary daily burdens

I bring relief

 

If looking into beauty

You fear that you will die

I offer you a rebirth

See

A butterfly

Photo Notes

I am not a religious person but when I come across something like this and my heart skips a beat and my breathing becomes short, in these moments, I feel like falling to my knees in gratitude.

 

I love grain and grit and geometry and cracks and shadows and texture and graffiti, and contrast, especially when they are all rolled up together in one luscious package...

This is a good example to show how cold it was in the mornings...

 

We got up early to rent snowshoes for some back country hiking. There were only 10 pairs available in total, so we had to get there early enough to grab some...

 

On the way to the trailhead, we saw a tree out in a snowfield glowing bright white. We slowed down and eventually parked the car. It was a tree covered in ice crystals. It looked absolutely beautiful. I had to get close to take pictures, but on the first step trying to reach it, my foot sunk deep into the snow.

 

That's where the snowshoes came inn... I have never tried it before, so I was awkwardly strapping those things on to my feet and started wading into the snow. I still sunk in a little bit, but it was much more comfortable.

 

The tree was amazing. It was radiating light from the early morning sun. I took a couple of pictures from different angles. This one I liked the best, because you can see the snow field sparkling in the background. I really like how the background is out of focus and it almost looks like snowflakes are falling.

 

All the crystals were gone when we drove past the tree again later in the day. I think they only lasted for a brief moment before the sun melted them away.

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.

Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex

Schacht XII/Shaft XII

  

explored

Highest position:

#303 on Saturday, July 18, 2009

  

The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has been inscribed into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since December 14, 2001 and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

 

The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957-1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in Bauhaus style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world".

 

After it had been closed down in 1993, the coking plant was planned to be sold to China. The negotiations failed and it was subsequently threatened to be demolished. However, another project of the state of NRW set the coal mine on a list of future exhibition sites resulting in first gentle modifications and the cokery also became an official memorial in 2000.

 

On its 25th session in December 2001, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared both the sites of the shafts 12 and 1/2/8 and the cokery a World Heritage Site.

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.

A shot from a very short summer holiday in the beautiful Val d'Orcia in Tuscany. I was there last week but now I really think the best period would have been late Spring / early Summer, when its rolling hills are covered by many different colors and temperatures are not so high!

Empty spaces

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.

Lastnight I went to see the Golden Compass. Oh My what a fantastic movie! The Polar Bear king scenes were awesome. All the people in this world have animals as their demons ( if their demon dies they die..it holds their soul).

This was such a cool movie there is no swearing, and yes there is a little violence expecially the Polar bear King fight,,,oh it was so cool but the lead charecter Lyra rocked. What a brave little girl to take on this role her name is Dakota and she was brilliant. If you haven't seen it it is a must. The beauty of this movie never ended! Oh and I would take kids that were a little older beacuse it does get a little scary. 8 and up.Just my opinion.

So now you know what I saw last night.

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.

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

Watch it here... ♫♫

and here... ♫♫ =)

   

Con una rosa hai detto

vienimi a cercare

tutta la sera io resterò da sola

io per te..

muoio per te..

con una rosa sono venuto a te

 

bianca come le nuvole di lontano

come la notte amara passata invano

come la schiuma che sopra il mare spuma

bianca non è la rosa che porto a te

 

gialla come la febbre che mi consuma

come il liquore che strega le parole

come il veleno che stilla dal tuo seno

gialla non è la rosa che porto a te

 

sospirano nell'aria le rose spirano

petalo a petalo mostrano il color

ma il fiore che da solo cresce nel rovo

rosso non è l'amore

bianco non è il dolore

il fiore solo è il dono che porto a te

 

rosa come un romanzo di poca cosa

come la resa che affiora sopra al viso

come l'attesa che sulle labbra pesa

rosa non è la rosa che porto a te

 

come la porpora che infiamma il mattino

come la lama che scalda il tuo cuscino

come la spina che al cuore si avvicina

rossa così è la rosa che porto a te

 

lacrime di cristallo l'hanno bagnata

lacrime e vino versate nel cammino

goccia su goccia, perdute nella pioggia

goccia su goccia le hanno asciugato il cuor

 

portami allora portami il più bel fiore

quello che duri più dell'amor per sé

il fiore che da solo non specchia il rovo

perfetto dal suo cuore

perfetto dal dolore

perfetto dal dono che fa di sé

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….

Se encuentra situado en una colina, y a sus pies pasa el río Matarraña. Rodeado de altas montañas y de pinares. Una de estas elevaciones es Peña Aznar o La Caixa, con forma de mesa (1014 m.). De entre los elementos que definen el paisaje de Valderrobres, pocos son tan característicos como esta roca con forma de antigua caja de caudales, visible desde casi cualquier punto del territorio. La historia asociada a ella es asombrosamente antigua. Restos encontrados en la cima, nos dicen que ya era conocida en tiempos de los iberos, pero su importancia como elemento definitorio empieza en tiempos de la dominación musulmana, cuando algunas fuentes empiezan a asociarla con el Conde Aznar Galindo, fundador del condado de Aragón. según parece, él mismo, o más posiblemente alguno de sus continuadores toma “la caixa” como punto estratégico desde el que dirigir sus ataques a las posiciones musulmanas. Desde entonces será conocida como peña de Aznar Lagaya, siendo este último termino una deformación del vocablo medieval que definía precisamente una caja. Acabada la reconquista, Alfonso II en su documento de donación al arzobispado de Zaragoza, llama al valle en el que hoy se asienta Valderrobres “Valle de la peña Aznar lagaia” definiendo con ella todo el territorio. En los siglos posteriores, La Caixa ha ido acumulando leyendas e historias a su alrededor y ha sido desde refugio de pastores hasta objeto de culto pagano, llegando hasta el presente y siendo el mejor testimonio de las raíces más antiguas de Valderrobres y también de Beceite, municipio vecino, que comparte la mitad de la peña con el municipio valderrobrense.

Se entra al casco antiguo por un puente gótico sobre el Matarraña, Difícilmente podría Valderrobres tener una entrada más espectacular que la que le brinda el impresionante puente medieval y el portal de San Roque. Pieza fundamental de su arquitectura e imagen perfectamente reconocible allí donde se mencione el pueblo. La construcción del puente parece estar asociada a la de sus murallas, así que podríamos fechar el inicio de las obras para construir el mismo en torno a 1390, con la petición que el arzobispo Garcia fernandez de Heredia hace ante Juan I para construir dichas fortificaciones. Mucho más difícil seria afirmar con seguridad la fecha de su conclusión, seguramente a principios del siglo XV y estando Valderrobres bajo la prelatura de Dalmao de Mur responsable también de las plantas más altas de nuestro castillo. Se trata de un puente completamente medieval, de cuatro agujeros, extremadamente sólido y provisto de tajamares en forma de cuña pensados para protegerlo de fuertes riadas y evitar la acumulación de troncos. En el siglo XVI se asienta sobre su último tramo el ayuntamiento, modificando por tanto el aspecto del puente en su tramo final al conectar con la plaza. El puente atraviesa la antigua puerta principal de acceso al recinto amurallado. A finales del siglo XVI este portal fue consagrado a San Roque, protector ante las epidemias y Patrón de la población, quedando hoy en día como uno de los portales mejor conservados de todo el conjunto.

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.

Di solito non scrivo note personali alle foto, ma ora è il caso almeno di scrivere qui sotto che questa immagine e questa corsa mi appartengono.

E non sono un punto fermo E non ho punti fermi E fuggo E la mia vita corre E la mia vita è corsa E i colori... i colori... sono tutto ciò che ho in testa.

 

Visto che ci sono lascio pure una nota ad memoriam sempre qui sotto:

non capisco perché nel 2010 ho una fotocamera che mi consente di lavorare su una certa gamma di colori, lavoro su questa cazzo di gamma, ma poi sono costretto a ridurre le mie foto in qualità perché il web è uniformato con parametri di merda... perché pure la maggior parte dei laboratori di stampa ha questi parametri di merda. E così mi tocca pure tenere file di dimensioni bibliche dentro il pc, inutilizzabili, perché magari un giorno la situazione evolve e così potrò dire di non aver fatto tanto lavoro per nulla. Magari fra cinque anni potrò lavorare su qualche foto fatta oggi. Ma vaffanculo va.

E qui i blu sono profondi come non si vedranno mai. E domani la stampo così magari potrò vederli anche io... forse... e amen.

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. Thanks for all your comments and fav

 

திடீரென்று பூக்களுக்குள் யுத்தம்,எல்லாப் பூக்களும் இறந்து உதிர்ந்துவிட்டன,

சற்றுப் பூக்கள் வேண்டும் அவைகளுக்கு மலர்வளையம் செய்வதற்கு,

இருந்தால் கொடுங்கள், கடனாகத்தான் ‍- பாவம்

மனிதர்களுக்கு மட்டுமே மலர்வளையமாய் இருந்து வெறுத்துவிட்டதுபோலும் அவைகளுக்கும்

One that I recommend Viewing Large on Black for max impact.

 

Utah has some great star viewing thanks to low light pollution, here I got lucky and caught an Iridium Flare glinting off the sun smack dab in the middle of the incredibly bright Milky Way. Iridium Flares are produced when the sun catches the highly reflective surface of an Iridium telecommunications satellite.

 

It's possible to plan a shot like this by using an online predictive calculator such as available at Heavens-Above. Or you can just get incredibly lucky as I did here. ;-)))

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

  

Shot notes: Single frame, and how I learned my camera clock is waaaay off. Correcting for the time issue this flare was indeed predicted by Heavens-Above.

You gave me courage to believe that all your goodness I will see and if it had not been for you standing on my side where would I be

 

If not for your goodness if not for your grace I don't know where I would be today if not for your kindness I never could say I'm still standing if not for your mercy if not for your love I most likely would have given up if not for your favor I never could say I'm still standing but by the grace of God

 

To you I lift my offering and set my heart on higher things for if it had not been for you standing on my side where would I be

 

I'm still standing I'm standing I'm still standing but by the grace of God
