Common Merganser. View Large On Black These birds fish by swimming along with their head under the water. When they see something they chase it under water or as above .....race along the top of the water creating quite a wake...like a boat does. These large fish-eaters have serrated edges to their bills to help them grip their prey. IMG_5075

Light show in Beaubourg by Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist, called "A la belle étoile". The 10mn show will be projected every night from 7pm to 8am until Feb. 26. Tip: pretend you're going to the restaurant on the 6th floor and stop at the 5th floor, which is opened and from where you can see the show from above without any glasses interfering :-) The previous link is also offering a webcam of the show.

We had a plan to visit the Kambala event this weekend, but it has been canceled due to some unfortunate circumstances. It happens you see. I have been posting black and white pictures in 2010 till now, so thought will post a color one for a change. Also it looked like a picture for the Valentines day. Its not often that we react for some ones pain instantly, we smile for some ones success instantly, the instant reaction happens when something happens to us, because we know what we have gone through to get to that point, so if some one reacts to your feelings, then it clearly shows they live in a different body but still they breath for you when you need it, they smile for you when you feel it, they cry for you when you are in pain, they fight for you when you are down. Such is the power of the emotion called love. It cannot be explained, at some point it may even look insane. But that's how it has been designed. Wish you all a happy Valentine's day.Thanks for all your views, comments and favs
பொக்கிஷமாய் மாறிப்போன அழுக்கேறிய அவளின் பள்ளிக்காலத்து புகைப்படம்,
"என்ன சொல்ல, நீ சொல்லு", "அப்புறம்" என்றபடி ஏதுமே சொல்லாமல் மணிக்கணக்காய்த் தொடர்ந்த உரையாடல்கள்,
ஏதும் பேசாமல் மௌனமாய்க் கரைந்து போன அந்த முதல் சந்திப்பு,
அவள் சிந்திவிட்டுப் போன புன்னகையை நினைத்தபடியே விழித்திருந்த இரவுகள்,
8 எழுத்துப் பிழைகளும் ஒரு மாற்றிவைக்கப்பட்ட ஒற்றுப்புள்ளியோடு அவளுக்கு எழுதிய முதல் கடிதம்,
பயணத்தில் தோள் சாய்ந்து உறங்கையில் அவள் நெற்றிக் குங்குமத்தால் கறையாகிப்போன அந்த நீலச்சட்டை,
புத்தகங்களுக்கூடே என்றோ ஒரு நாள் தூக்கிப் போடச் சொல்லி அவள் கொடுத்த வாடிப்போன பூக்கள்,
காதலுக்கு அடையாளமாகிப் போன எத்தனையோ இதயங்களுக்குள்,
எனக்காக துடிக்கும் ஒரு இதயத்துக்காக நான் சேமித்த வைத்திருக்கும் எனக்கான அடையாளங்கள் இவை.

As requested by Alex "Orion Pax" , pictures of my two revised GMC Sierra pickup trucks from the 80's TV show "The Fallguy".
Both MOCs were sittin' on my shelf for a few years now and collecting dust., because I wasn't satisfied with some details, so I never took pictures until now.
Some of you may remember my first 6-wide version:
www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=362971
This old version in the link was part of a dispute between me and Alex.
He was thinking I stole some of the ideas of his GMC Fallguy MOC:
www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3668277
While I wasn't even aware of his works at that point in time.
However, we were able to bury our dispute peacefully and today I'm happy to had become aware of his highly inspiring works due to that fact.
As you can see, the smaller version of my revised MOCs "borrows" even more ideas from his old GMC truck.
Hope he doesn't mind today...;)
Oh, and if you wonder what piece the antenna on the small truck is: It is a whisker from my cat - non LEGO at all...;)
Don't miss "Orion Pax" newest Fall Guy GMC in awesome dark brown and dark tan!
OK, I'll be honest, I jacked another photographers lighting for this shot...the car was all set up with lights and a backdrop for someone else to shoot.... so, while he wasn't paying attanetion I took the shot...actually i think he saw me take it, oh well, he had better angles then me... ahhaa

Last January 24 we headed into Grand Ledge to meet our friends at Toad's Coffeehouse. As Joan drove down highway M-43 I dug out my camera and took pix of the fog and the scenery. (I do this to her regularly.)
All the day's pix were versions of photographs I'd taken before, as we've traveled those eight miles thousands of times. That said, this is the best image I've ever managed of that barn. And the photo I posted a year ago, of the state highway and the highway's sign, is one of my favorites. The framing there is odd, but it came out well.
==========
My Olympus E-M1 Mk II has been my "good" camera for a bit over seven years, now. The 12-40 f/2.8 lens I carried last January was part of the original purchase. It's an excellent lens, the one I mount when I know my first concern is a sharp photo.

Hostalric fue en la antigüedad zona de paso obligatorio en la ruta norte-sur, y el único paso natural entre Girona y Barcelona.
En unas prospecciones hechas al cerro del castillo se encontraron restos del periodo ibérico. En época romana pasaba por este lugar una bifurcación interior de la Vía Augusta. Se encontraron restos de esta vía cuando se construyó la carretera de Sant Hilari.
La población de Hostalric parece que tuvo su origen en un hostal documentado desde el siglo XI al sitio dicho ONOTA, al pie del nominado camino de Francia (antigua vía romana).La primera referencia documental clara de Hostalric es de 1106, y en ella Guerau Ponç, vizconde de Cabrera, juró fidelidad a Ramon Berenguer III de Barcelona.
Las luchas feudales catalanas del final del siglo XII tuvieron eco en el castillo de Hostalric debido al rebelde temperamento de su señor, Ponç III de Cabrera.
Con el tiempo, los de Cabrera convirtieron la villa de Hostalric en la capital administrativa de los extensos territorios de su vizcondado hasta la extinción de la señoría en el año 1836.
En el año 1359 Hostalric tenía 134 fuegos y pertenecía al conde de Osona, vizconde de Cabrera. Durante la guerra de 1640, las tropas de Felip IV fueron obligadas a batirse en retirada en cuanto llegaron a Hostalric.
Durante el reinado de Carles III, los franceses volvieron a invadir Cataluña. llegaron a Hostalric el 18 de julio de 1694. Después de una corta resistencia, la población y el castillo se rindieron. Esta zona, pero, continuó siendo tierra de batallas, y los franceses abandonaron el castillo en el año 1695 y lo dejaron inutilizado.
En el año 1701 llegó a Hostalric Felip V, que acababa de ser nombrado rey, con su esposa. Fue en esta población dónde los representantes de la ciudad de Barcelona le rindieron homenaje. Unos años después, al estallar la Guerra de Sucesión, una vez conquistada la villa por las tropas felipistas, este rey ordenó la construcción del actual castillo y la reconstrucción de las murallas
La ocupación francesa
Durante la guerra de la Independencia, la villa fue saqueada e incendiada por las tropas del general Augerau. Hostalric y Figueres fueron las últimas plazas del Estado español que abandonaron los franceses. Fue el 4 de junio de 1814. A diferencia de otros castillos o fortalezas, Hostalric mantuvo hasta bien entrado el siglo XX la condición de "Plaza Fuerte Militar", con las ventajas e inconvenientes que esto podía comportar.
En el año 1929, el gobierno del general Primo de Rivera acordó el traslado de la guarnición, porque las instalaciones no reunían las condiciones exigidas.
el 11 de septiembre de 1932 el presidente de la Generalidad de Cataluña, Francesc Macià, visitó Hostalric.
La Guerra Civil
Con el incendio de la iglesia, provocado por unos despiadados individuos de Granollers el 24 de julio de 1936, se iniciaba de manera bien espectacular la Guerra Civil a Hostalric. Las llamas hacían desaparecer el excelente altar mayor de 1854. El 1 de febrero de 1939 entraron las tropas franquistas al pueblo. Se consiguió salvar, pero, la viva imagen de la madre de Dios de los Socorro, merced a la valiente acción de Joan Guitart -el futuro alcalde conocido por " Sancho"-, que, junto con la señora Socorro Ribas, la escondieron dentro de un nicho del cementerio viejo.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
All of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
They don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
It's true...I was made for you
I will be leaving to visit a relative of mine this coming weekend. Will be back by end of next week. See you around in your photostreams =)
A morning at Kampung Genting, Tioman
It was certainly unusual to see the moon bright in bright and early but it set an interesting mood to the morning. The sky was less intense with colours since this shoreline was facing West and what was most captivating was still the moon and the vast ocean at the end of the pier

I think we are all capable of that aren't we? Although I do like to think that I am more of a worrier and peace-maker than a bitcher!
This pic didn't quite turn out how I had planned. I may attempt to do the original idea again but I'm going with this cos it looks kinda springish and I'm feeling more springy than I have these past few weeks.
So I want to hear something that you have done that will make me laugh. It has to be ridiculous. I have a few stories i could tell you that have happened but here is one confession that is pretty bad but well deserved!
I used to work in this office that was very male orientated which was fine, but my boss .........well he thought of himself as a bit of a hunk in trunks! He was always creeping about, trying to rub himself up on you at any given opportunity but was also very chauvinistic at the same time. So at break time when nobody else seemed to make the tea was when I seized the opportunity to seek my revenge.
All I can say is I had great satisfaction on him thanking me for that lovely cuppa and boy was the pleasure all mine ;-)
So come on let me know what you did that was so bad. I need a giggle!
I give up on this one! I have wanted to get a shot here for a few months now. I have taken photos in this little inslet my last three trips to the Marginal Way without any positive results. To me this is a tremendously difficult shot, there is moving water, deep shadows, the sun comes in from the front and a steep walls on either side limit your framing options. I worked through a few of my shots trying to get something that will do this spot justice but at this point, I don't think my photography OR processing skills enable me to get what I want out of this.
No amount of rescue work got me to what I had in my mind. HDR didn't work, DRI didn't work, manual blending didn't work. I still think the shot is there somewhere but I'm not willing to spend any more time at this point trying to coax it out.
Think I need to do a little more homework or take a PS class or two. At least there's no tidal pool in this shot!
After Marymere Falls, we made our way to Sol Duc Hot Springs. The waterfall at Sol Duc is supposedly the most photographed spot in Olympic National Park. We got there too late to get good shots of the falls. The sun was high in the sky and direct light was falling across the river. Luckily, the bright sun had the fortuitous side effect of making a rainbow!
You'd think that the mid-day sunlight would have been my biggest photographic challenge, but in this case, the crowds of people enjoying the falls was a much bigger issue. You can't tell from the photos, but there was easily a dozen people enjoying the falls at the same time we were. I had to be very patient and strategic to avoid getting other tourists in my shot.
The Sol Duc Falls Trail starts out right past the campground. The falls are an easy .8 mile walk from the parking lot.
Birmania centrale - Villaggio di Bo De Ta Htaung, vicino a Monywa.
All'nterno di questo Buddha di 10 piani, si sta allestendo un museo della storia della civiltà orientale da Angkor in poi..
In alcune sale sono riprodotti degli affreschi terrificanti di cui non ho capito bene il significato poichè le didascalie erano unicamente in lingua birmana ma che ho interpretato come una sorta di Inferno Buddista che farebbe impallidire persinio Dante.

The Biggest Standing Buddha - The ten floor building houses a new museum of the history of oriental civilization.
In some floors are frescos about something hideous refering a kind of life I cannot undestand because all the history was in burmese language but I guess it is something like a Buddhist hell.

Para ti, Rez González, por confiarme tu poema. Gracias.
Ciega me viene,
con mi pañuelo en sus ojos,
con mi perfume en sus fosas.
Confianza ciega para llevarte al fin del mundo
a mi lado en cien caballos negros;
música y humo.
Ciega el amor,
como luces fijas mirando al infinito,
esta noche las estrellas guiarán tu vuelo y el mío.
Ciego, oscuro, redondo,
como el cielo en la noche es tu pelo;
pájaros de acero sobrevuelan nuestros cuerpos.
Vino, rosas y poemas,
un techo donde vivir,
y para comer, un huerto.
Te he traído al fin del mundo
sólo para darte un beso.
Ciegos a oscuras,
las luces que nos alumbran,
se apagan.
Son las señas del destino,
las que siempre me muestran tu cara.
Ciego del amor,
dame la mano,
tengo miedo.
No me dejes solo en este camino,
me ha costado tanto entrar
que sin ti no puedo seguirlo.

Grand Teton National Park at Oxbow Bend, along the Snake River.
People ask me why or when do you shoot a scene in the 'landscape' orientation (horizontal) or in the 'portrait' orientation (vertical). I discuss this in detail in one of my free landscape articles--see below. Most landscape shots are framed horizontally, because that fits best with the scene. The choice for the serious nature photographer is more complex. The first decision you must make is, what is the end purpose of the shot? A calendar image is almost always shot horizontally. A magazine cover is shot vertically. For this shot, I did both. Follow the link below to see the horizontal image of this scene.
www.flickr.com/photos/wwwca/3669960447/
From looking at the two images of the same scene shot seconds apart, you can see how different they are. One encompasses the entire scene--the forest, the river, the snow-capped Teton mountains and the ducks are very small. It is a 'grand' scene. The shot above, the vertical one, 'zooms in' and focuses on Mt Moran and its reflection on the Snake River. Here the ducks are more of an important part of the scene--a secondary compositional element.
When I approach a scene like this, I try to always shoot it both ways and then process them to get the best out of the shot. If Outdoor Photographer magazine ever wants a magazine cover of Oxbow Bend, I have it. ;>) Please feel free to call!
Also note the 'placement' of the ducks in the version above. Now as a nature photographer, I did not swim out into the Snake River and 'place' the four ducks. As the patient nature photographer, I waited for the duck to place themselves for this shot. While my photography partner James Neeley was making his way along the river's shore taking many great images, I was setup on my tripod and just waiting for the ducks to swim into place. Then I snapped away, horizontally and vertically. One of the most important things I like to teach about nature photography is the 'art of waiting'. James Neeley, Jeff Sullivan, Kevin McNeal and I will be teaching a landscape and nature photography workshop here next June.

Listen Alicia de Larrocha - Suite española no 5 (Asturias-La Leyenda
La Suite española es una serie de ocho piezas para piano publicadas por Albéniz en 1886. Cada título evoca una región o provincia española: Granada, Cataluña, Sevilla, Asturias, Cádiz, Asturias, Aragón y Castilla, constituyendo un ciclo de carácter marcadamente nacionalista. Es una de las muchas obras para piano, algunas con grandes dificultades de ejecución, que escribió Isaac Albéniz. Se trata de una música brillante y apasionada, llena de resonancias andaluzas y orientales, aunque su autor fuera catalán.
Cangas de Onís (Asturian: Cangues d'Onís) is a municipality in the eastern part of the province and autonomous community of Asturias in the northwest of Spain. The capital of the municipality is also Cangas de Onís. More than seventy square kilometres of the concejo form part of the Parque nacional de los Picos de Europa. Within the park is the village of Covadonga, where the battle of Covadonga (about 722), the first major victory by a Christian military force in Iberia, marks the starting-point of the Reconquista. Until 774, Cangas de Onís was the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias.

Música Nocturna de Madrid - Boccherini
Entre 1617 y 1619 el maestro de obras Juan Gómez de Mora proyectó y dirigió las obras del cerramiento rectangular de la Plaza Mayor y las trazas de su caserío, consiguiendo un espacio de representación adecuado para el Madrid cortesano de Felipe III.
Estas obras afectaron a parte del caserío de las manzanas de casas de los alrededores de la plaza, como a la manzana número 168 que cierra la plaza Mayor por su lado oeste y forma actualmente los números impares de la Cava de San Miguel. Para compensar el gran desnivel de esta manzana hubo que remodelar casi la totalidad de su caserío, construyéndose los sótanos que dan a la plaza y las plantas bajas que dan a la cava con una superposición de pisos abovedados. A su vez, dicho desnivel obligó a incrementar la altura de los edificios en tres plantas más, alcanzando una altura total de ocho plantas, algo sorprendente para las edificaciones de la época.
A raíz del incendio que sufrió la plaza Mayor en 1790, que arrasó la tercera parte del caserío, el arquitecto Juan de Villanueva se encargó de su reconstrucción consiguiendo una nueva relación de integración entre la plaza y su espacio circundante, al quedar completamente cerrada y nivelada en altura. La altura del caserío, que afectó a las casas de la manzana de la Cava de San Miguel, perdió dos plantas pues todo el conjunto debía tener la misma altura que la Casa de la Panadería.
La construcción de este arco esta relacionada con la reconstrucción y el cierre de la antigua Plaza Mayor por el arquitecto Juan de Villanueva, después del incendio ocurrido en el verano de 1790. Con esta reforma, la antigua plaza que construyera Juan Gómez de Mora, entre 1617 y 1619, no perdió su configuración rectangular, pero por medio de un sistema de arcadas se consiguió cerrar este recinto urbano y se rebajó la altura del caserío para homogeneizarlo con la que tenía la Casa de la Panadería, que se salvo de las llamas.
Una de estas arcadas, la que daba acceso a la plaza por el extremo sur occidental, es el Arco de Cuchilleros, llamado así porque en el caserío de sus alrededores, a la entrada y a ambos lados de la escalinata que lo precede, estuvieron ubicados los talleres del gremio de cuchilleros y espaderos, pues tenían como una de sus finalidades suministrar sus productos a las carnicerías establecidas en la Plaza Mayor.
La singularidad de este lugar se acrecienta con las trazas de las edificaciones aledañas, construidas la mayoría de ellas en el siglo XVII con el característico zócalo en piedra berroqueña, los lienzos de la fachada con gruesos muros de ladrillos y los huecos de las ventanas engalanados con rejerías y balconadas de hierro forjado.
Sorprende mucho al espectador los seis pisos de altura de algunas de estas edificaciones, pero más sorprendería si todavía se conservaran las ocho plantas con que originalmente se construyeron y que fueron rebajadas tras la reforma de Villanueva. Esta excepcional altura se debe al desnivel que existe entre la plaza y la Cava de San Miguel.
El Arco de Cuchilleros, llamado así porque en el caserío de sus alrededores, a la entrada y a ambos lados de la escalinata que lo precede, estuvieron ubicados los talleres del gremio de cuchilleros y espaderos, pues tenían como una de sus finalidades suministrar sus productos a las carnicerías establecidas en la Plaza Mayor.
Otro de los aspectos que convierten a este lugar en uno de los cuadros más pintorescos de la ciudad son sus concurridos mesones, herencia de los bodegones, tabernas y hosterías del antiguo Madrid.

El Benicadell és el pic més alt (1.104m) de la serra del mateix nom. Es tracta d'una autèntica paret muntanyosa que separa les comarques valencianes de la Vall d'Albaida i del Comtat. Amb una direcció bètica (concretament del Prebètic extern) de nordest a sudoest, el característic pic de Benicadell té forma de cresteria rocallosa de litologia calcària que li dona una singularitat al paisatge.
La serra del Benicadell fou declarat Paisatge Protegit pel Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana en dues fases. En un primer lloc la solana o cara sud i més recentment l'ombria o cara nord.
L'interés d'aquest paratge rau en el paisatge d'erosió càrstica produïda pels agents atmosfèrics, originant nombroses coves, avencs, fondalades i enderrossalls. Però és de destacar la formació d'una llacuna endorraica al terme de Gaianes, coneguda com Albufera de Gaianes. La Ombria és molt més humit que no pas la Solana, amb una vegetació més exuberant, i destaca per la presència de brolladors i fonts.
La presència humana es considera com a factor clau en l'estructura del paisatge. Així cal mencionar els importants jaciments arqueològics que es troben a les diferents coves del paratge (Coveta del Mig, el Sercat, Cova del Moro o Cova del Mig), les diferents torres i castells de l'Edat Mitjana (Castell de Carbonera, Castell de Penya Cadiella o el Castell de Carrícola) o les magnífiques neveres d'elevat valor etnològic (nevera de Benicadell, de Dalt, de Baix, de la Lloma Solaneta, de Xamarra i del Corral de Diego).
ESP:
La sierra de Benicadell se extiende a lo largo de unos veinticinco kilómetros en dirección nordeste- sudoeste, separando las comarcas de la Vall d’Albaida (perteneciente a la provincia de València), por el norte, y del Comtat (correspondiente a la provincia de Alacant), por el sur. Su núcleo principal está adscrito a los términos municipales de Atzeneta d’Albaida, Beniatjar, Carrícola, Albaida y Salem, en lo que afecta a la provincia de València, y a Muro de Alcoy, Gaianes, Beniarrés y l’Orxa, en lo relativo a la provincia de Alicante. Por el este, la sierra de Benicadell finaliza en los barrancos por los que discurre el río Serpis que, procedente de la Sierra Mariola, de las tierras alcoianas, del embalse de Beniarrés y de l’Orxa, se dirige por el imponente “Estret de l’Infern” hacia Villalonga y Gandia, en donde desemboca en el Mediterráneo. Por el oeste, la sierra de Benicadell concluye en el Port d’Albaida (620 metros de altitud), por donde pasa desde hace muchos siglos la principal vía de comunicación entre València y Alacant por el interior, o lo que es lo mismo, por Xàtiva, Albaida, Muro de Alcoi, Cocentaina y Alcoi. La sierra de Agullent (que comienza en el antedicho puerto de Albaida) es una prolongación natural de la sierra de Benicadell, y se extiende unos doce kilómetros hacia el oeste, delimitando también las provincias de Alacant (Muro de Alcoi y Agres) y de València (Albaida, Agullent, Bocairent y Ontinyent), finalizando en el “Pou Clar”, en Ontinyent.

About:
I've always wanted to stop and take a shot of this spot that is located on the road to Peggy's Cove. There isn't really a place to pull over and park but when I happened upon this amazing sunset I couldn't resist anymore.
Post Processing
I tried something a bit different here. I used Photomatix but I tried the exposure blending method instead of the typical tone mapping with the details enhancer. I really like the results and it is more natural looking without the increased noise and halos that come from the other method. It is much more like DRI or exposure blending without having to manually do the layers and masking. Remember, I'm a lazy bastard so this made me happy. Not as "happy" as the shower with Lilapop but still pretty happy none the less! :-)
BTW, the seagull was added back in from the -2ev sky exposure just for you bastards that tease me about my pet seagulls. I hope you like it! lol
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You

Every trip has its highlight in Lisbon it was visiting the monastery of Jeronimos in the suburb of Belem. I have never seen such delicate stonework both the church and its cloisters are quite remarkable. Took the shot hand held no tripod
A bit from the guidebook
The monastery is one of the most prominent monuments of the Manueline-style architecture (Portuguese late-Gothic) in Lisbon, classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém. The construction of the monastery and church began on 6 January 1501 (and were completed 100 years later). King Manuel originally funded the project with money obtained from the Vintena da Pimenta, a 5% tax on commerce from Africa and the Orient, equivalent to 70 kilograms (150 lb) of gold per year, with the exception of pepper, cinnamon and cloves (which went directly to the Crown. With the influx of riches, the architects were not limited to small plans, and resources already prescribed for the Monastery of Batalha were redirected to the project in Belém.
Manuel I selected the religious order of Hieronymite monks to occupy the monastery, whose role it was to pray for the King's eternal soul and to provide spiritual assistance to navigators and sailors who departed from the beach of Restelo to discover the world.
The monastery was designed in a style that later became known as Manueline: a richly ornate architectural design that includes complex sculptural themes incorporating maritime elements and objects discovered during naval expeditions, carved in limestone. Diogo de Boitaca,[ the architect, pioneered this style in the Monastery of Jesus in Setúbal. On this project Boitaca was responsible for the plans and contracting work on the monastery, the sacristy, and the refectory. He used calcário de lioz, a local gold-coloured limestone, that was quarried from Ajuda, the valley of Alcántara, Laveiras, Rio Seco and Tercena, for its construction. Boitaca was succeeded by the Spaniard Juan de Castilho, who took charge of construction around 1517. Castilho gradually moved from the Manueline to the Spanish Plateresque style, an ornamentation that included lavish decorations that recall silverware (Spanish: plata). The construction came to a halt when the King Manuel I died in 1521.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
A rare moment of peace and quiet early in the morning to enjoy the beach, the sea to the fullest!...in Portugal one can still find places even during summer, not very far if you know where to look. A happy day to all of you.

Asamkirche, Munich
Germany
Munich's Catholic Church of St. Johann Nepomuk, better known as the Asam Church, was built from 1733 to 1746 by the brothers Egid Quirin Asam and Cosmas Damian Asam as their private church. Due to resistance of the citizens, the brothers were forced to make the church accessible to the public, though they had taken on all the costs of building. The Asamkirche is one of the most splendid achievements of Bavarian late Baroque architecture or rococo. It is framed by the Asamhaus (Asam House), built in 1733, on the left and the Priest's House (built in 1771) on the right. The church is in the Sendlinger Strasse only a few minutes walk from the Town Hall in the centre of the City.
The ornate facade tells about the deeds of St. John of Nepomuk. The ceiling of the church is decorated by magnificent paintings and gold trim, and the high altar shows the Chair of Mercy Group, with God the Father and the crucified Christ. Ignaz Günther created the two angels of the fraternity altar in 1767; they were acquired and added later.

Happy gothic sunday my friends! Thanks for the visits, comments, notes and faves!!!
Pls don't post here any group invite, glitter text or stuff like that.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia (en catalán Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família), conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia (Sagrada Família), es un gran templo católico de Barcelona (España), diseñado por el arquitecto español Antoni Gaudí. Iniciado en 1882, todavía está en construcción (enero de 2010). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La construcción comenzó en estilo neogótico, pero, al asumir el proyecto Gaudí en 1883, fue completamente replanteado. Según su proceder habitual, a partir de bocetos generales del edificio improvisó la construcción a medida que avanzaba. Se hizo cargo con sólo 31 años, dedicándole el resto de su vida, los últimos quince en exclusiva.
Una de sus ideas más innovadoras fue el diseño de las elevadas torres cónicas circulares que sobresalen apuntadas sobre los portales, estrechándose con la altura. Las proyectó con una torsión parabólica dando una tendencia ascendente a toda la fachada, favorecida por multitud de ventanas que perforan la torre siguiendo formas espirales.[1]
El templo, cuando esté terminado, dispondrá de 18 torres: cuatro en cada una de las tres entradas-portales y, a modo de cúpulas, se dispondrá un sistema de seis torres, con la torre cimborio central, dedicada a Jesús, de 170 metros de altura, otras cuatro alrededor de ésta, dedicadas a los evangelistas, y un segundo cimborio dedicado a la Virgen. El interior estará formado por innovadoras columnas arborescentes inclinadas y bóvedas basadas en hiperboloides y paraboloides buscando la forma óptima de la catenaria.
En 1926 murió Gaudí; sólo se había construido una torre. Del proyecto del edificio sólo se conservaban planos y un modelo en yeso que resultó muy dañado durante la Guerra Civil española.[2] Desde entonces han proseguido las obras: actualmente están terminados los portales del Nacimiento y de la Pasión, y se ha iniciado el de la Gloria, y están en ejecución las bóvedas interiores. La obra que realizó Gaudí, es decir, la fachada del Nacimiento y la cripta, ha sido incluida por la Unesco en el año 2005 en el Sitio del Patrimonio mundial «Obras de Antoni Gaudí».

Often my daily photos are pretty random, but sometimes I begin the day with an idea for a specific photograph. Last January 9 was one of those days.
I set out with a couple ideas, actually, for pics along Tupper Lake Road. One notion was to photograph the telephone poles that line both sides of that road; another was to capture a snowy image of a shed that I'd photographed a couple times before.
As expected, I easily got the photo of the parallel phone lines. But the lot with the shed had changed--they'd added a small log cabin. And, very much to my surprise, the cabin's yard features a sculpture of what seems to be a disintegrating motorcycle. The change was certainly worth a photograph. So I took it.
Then I went home and posted a landscape photo, also taken from Tupper Lake Road.

Novelda (Alacant).
CAT:
El Santuari de Santa Maria Magdalena.
Aquest edifici religiós va estar construït a partir d'un projecte que va traçar l'enginyer novelder Josep Sala Sala que impregnant així el seu projecte de l'estil modernista català. Aquest santuari recorda al Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. La seua construcció, començada en 1918, va necessitar de tres fases, per donar per acabada l'obra en 1946. A la façana principal destaquen dues torres laterals de 25 m. d'alçada culminades per una creu pètria que també es troba en la cúpula i sobre els arcs superiors de la façana. Té forma de pitxer, simbolitzant el pitxer que la Santa portà de bàlsam a Jesús. Esta forma original és també única en el món. Els motius decoratius deuen tenir antecedents en els estils medievals, barrocs i en la pròpia naturalesa. Influències aquestes que van dur l'autor a combinar cudols del riu Vinalopó, taulells policromats, rajoles rogenques, maçoneria, etc..., es troba Santa Maria Magdalena, patrona de Novelda, i al darrere de l'altar podem admirar un bell quatre atribuït a Gaston Castelló.
ESP:
El Santuario de Santa María Magdalena es un edificio religioso que se encuentra en Novelda (Alacant) y fue construido a partir de un proyecto trazado por el ingeniero noveldense José Sala Sala, que realizó sus estudios en Cataluña. La edificación es de estilo modernista catalán, y guarda un enorme parecido con el Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia de Antonio Gaudí. Tiene forma de jarro, simbolizando el jarro que la Santa llevó de bálsamo a Jesús. Esta forma original es también única en el mundo.
Su construcción, comenzada en 1918, necesitó de tres fases (una de ellas de paralización), para dar por terminada la obra en 1946. Para la financiación de las obras se emplearon diferentes recursos, como las galas líricas de zarzuela en donde intervino el barítono noveldense Eduardo Mateo-Quirant y su mujer, la tiple Josefina Landete (padres ambos de Paloma Mairant), entre otros.
En la fachada principal destacan dos torres laterales de 25 m. de altura culminadas por una cruz pétrea, que también se halla en la cúpula y sobre los arcos superiores de la fachada. Los motivos decorativos tienen antecedentes en los estilos medievales, barrocos y en la propia naturaleza. Estas influencias llevaron al autor a combinar guijarros del río Vinalopó, azulejos policromados, ladrillos rojizos, mampostería, etc., que se reflejan por todo el exterior del edificio.
El interior del santuario está compuesto por una nave central rectangular con dos espacios laterales adosados; al fondo, en el ábside, se encuentra el camarín de Santa María Magdalena, patrona de Novelda, y detrás del altar se puede admirar un hermoso cuadro atribuido a Gastón Castelló. Para el año 2010 está prevista la incorporación de un órgano construído enteramente en marmol, obra del innovador organero Iván Larrea, que se convertirá en el único en el mundo con estas características.
Die Möwe und mein Herz
Hin gen Norden zieht die Möwe,
Hin gen Norden zieht mein Herz;
Fliegen beide aus mitsammen,
Fliegen beide heimatwärts.
Ruhig, Herz! du bist zur Stelle;
Flogst gar rasch die weite Bahn -
Und die Möwe schwebt noch rudernd
Überm weiten Ozean.

Gift Of The Seagull
by Munda
A lonely seagull flies the winds
Majestic... soaring...gliding wings
A single screech sounds from the sky
Come fly with me... come here and fly
My spirit floats to be a part
I feel the beating of its heart
My soul, one with this bird of sea
Now knows the meaning to fly free
I feel the winds caress my soul
And soar the streams without a goal
My being trembles of delight
A treasure I received tonight
The seagull's flight of soaring high
The gift of what it means to fly
