I found my tripod today :) L A R G E This was shot while standing in my front doorway - with a telephoto lens. This made Explore :) Thanks for the inspiration Gary (see comment below in Update).
This was actually an experiment...I have a hard time getting a sharp focus on objects far away after dark even when using a remote; however, I have not shot using "mirror up" and need to try that. I'm also aware both my camera and lens need major cleaning. Night shots are tricky...I was hoping to get the stars but...have not figured out how to get the mountain showing which will be in complete darkness by then and the stars. I have recently seen some photos on flickr recently that have me puzzled...showing Mt. Hood during sunset and all peachy orange but also showing stars even though it was shot at 7:38 pm which it is completely dark by then. I have an inquiring mind and really would love to know how that was done.
Update: I sent the photographer an email about that photo and he responded! He was very nice and explained how he did it and the photo is not HDR. His name is Gary Randall. Check out his work - exceptional images. I'm sure you will immediately recognize the photo I am in awe over - plus it was Front Page on Explore.

Sau những gì đã qua tôi nhận ra: “Tình yêu chỉ có một, nhưng thứ na ná tình yêu thì có rất nhiều". không phải ai may mắn cũng tìm được tình yêu thật sự của mình trong cuộc đời chỉ sau 1 vài lần gặp gỡ, không phải ai cũng thấm thía tình yêu thật sự chỉ sau 1 cuộc tình....Tôi đã nhận ra, điều mà mình cần ở anh, người đàn ông mang đến cho tôi đầy đủ những cảm xúc yêu thương nhất vì những điều giản dị nhất....
Và đơn giản, em nghĩ đến anh,vì anh là ANH thôi....
Chúa đã tạo ra anh cho em,và ngược lại,anh có biết khôn
Hoy es el cumpleaños de una persona muy especial para mí. Se trata de mi tía Isabel que todo sea dicho de paso, inconsciente de ella, se ha convertido en mi seguidora número uno.
Seguro que cuando lea esto se quedará sin palabras pero qué menos que dedicar una foto a quien tanto da a cambio de nada.
Te quiero chacha!

Os pido también que prestéis especial atención a esta cita porque me parece buenísima:
En 1930 Ansel Adams se estaba formando como pianista cuando empezó a considerar su carrera como fotógrafo. Tras ver unas fotografías de Paul Stand decidió que la cámara y no el piano, regiría su destino.
Tanto su madre como su tía le aconsejaron:
-”No dejes el piano. La cámara no puede expresar el alma humana”
A lo que Ansel respondió:
-”Es cierto, la cámara no puede, pero el fotógrafo sí”.

one recently weekend afternoon, i happened to drive around downtown after a quick coffee break with my sister. somehow, i drove through this freeway overpass. i came down my car with tripod and a 10 stop filter... thinking some long exposure sunset shoots would be nice....
but when i saw all these cars and peole heading different directions to their own way, all the sudden, i felt like a headless chicken (aka - KFC :P). not feeling like to set up anything, not inspiring. i then point & shoot a few single exposures and headed back to pick up my son.
have you had one of those blurr moment before, just don't feel like to shoot anything? bleh bleh... bleh bleh bleh....
gemma and shiloh.
they're cousins.
they remind me of me and bridey when we were this age.
gemma's bridey's little sister.
shiloh is of course mine.
i love watching these two playing together...it takes me back to my childhood.
why does childhood have to be over so quickly?
and why do we spend the most of it wishing we were older?
Take refuge in the beauty of nature!
Our dog park, our former dump, with gorgeous sunsets like this sure has become my not so little paradise, my haven, my place of solace and entertainment (watching dogs,interacting with their custodians and hunting for images) only minutes away from home. I remember feeling like I was walking inside a painting that glorious evening.
Two vertically shifted images shot with the 24mm TS-E lens, stitched.
Each image shot with the new Formatt Hitech Filters Firecrest 16 stops IRND filters, no stacking.
Exposure time: 241 seconds for each image @f/8.0
The next photos in my Visual Acoustics architecture series will all be shot with the new Formatt-Hitech Firecrest 16 stops IRND filters. Why? I already wrote a review on that a few weeks ago on my blog, and I can tell you again that there’s no colour cast at all, not even when shooting in poor light conditions and that the accuracy is very high and that there’s no vignetting with the circular filters, simply because they’re so thin and you don’t need to stack, but I’m not going to say that again. Just look at all the other reviews by independent photographers or read my review here or convince yourself. And if you're interested in how to create images like this, then all this is explained on my website and also in my book that you can find on my website.

See it Large: 'Hide & Go Seek-2 year old style' On Black
Giving this a go in the deleteme group. We shall see.
She is the hider. NOT the seeker. During our walk i told her to go hide so Lola could find her, and this is her interpretation. To be a 2 year old. :)
Another from my first attempt at RAW in CS2, enjoying it. I used a bit of vignetting in this one too, more obvious here.
I have to say that being at the top of this Iron Age Hill Fort at dawn with the hill fog all around, was something of a spiritual experience. I could hear no traffic, just the hoot of a barn owl now and again, a few sheep in the pasture far below and my own breathing. In these conditions there is a real "atmosphere".
It seemed a desolate spot - it must have been quite a harsh place to live in winter. I would certainly not want to have been either defending or attacking it!
After a about 20 minutes of frantically trying to get some photos out of this location before the mist took over, I just stopped and listened; and listened; and listened. It is not often that we get to hear "almost nothing". But it's funny - in those few moments when you do, you can "see" so much.
When I was shooting this, my friend said he could see what I'll make of it.... I hope this doesn't fall short of what he expected me to do...
and BTW, for those of you who have been unfortunate enough to see the previous upload, this is the storm that I was talking about.. hehe... :P :D
This is going straight to my portfolio coz this defines me as a photographer and the kind of work I like.
Hope you all like this....
And yes, I'm so touched by all your comments/faves/views on my stream, I read them over and over again inspite of the training that has me running most of the time....
I dedicate this to Ambuj Bhaiya, the one who believed in me so much that he bought and sent me the SLR that I wanted from Japan (My KissX2) inspite of me repeatedly saying "No, That'll be too much." and to Papa, who said, "Go, touch your dream. I'll take care."
I could have done this at the time when I posted my first shot from the SLR. But I was waiting for The photograph that could do what it was supposed to.
Love

El río Urumea (del euskera, ur, «agua», y mehea, «fina») nace en el puerto de Ezcurra (Navarra), en uno de los lugares más lluviosos de España y desemboca en San Sebastián.
En su recorrido desciende por un valle estrecho y hondo hasta Goizueta. Recibe al Añarbe discurriendo en rápida pendiente a partir de Artikutza, atraviesa los núcleos de Pagoaga y Pikoaga hasta llegar a Hernani. Prosigue por Astigarraga, Martutene, Loyola, separa a Eguía y Gros de Amara y centro de San Sebastián, para desembocar en el Mar Cantábrico entre el Monte Urgull y la playa de la Zurriola. Su cuenca es de solamente 229 km² y tiene 40 km de longitud.
La forma actual de la desembocadura es muy diferente a la de otros tiempos. Entonces era muy ancha, entre los montes Ulía e Igeldo, Urgull era solo un islote que salía en el centro y las aguas discurrían por gran parte del actual Gros y la totalidad de Amara nuevo, formando marismas y terrenos pantanosos.
El río Urumea suele registrar las mayores crecidas en otoño y a principios del invierno , produciéndose ocasionalmente algunas inundaciones en Hernani , Astigarraga y en el barrio donostiarra de Martutene. Al tener una cuenca pequeña y pocos km de recorrido su caudal puede variar de forma rápida, puede subir su nivel en pocas horas y si en unos cuántos días no se producen precipitaciones éste puede descender considerablemente.
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.

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….
So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. - Genesis 3:14
I was in dire need of a photo-shoot. So we (Amanda and I) decided that I've never taking a picture of my snake, Valentine. He has a small heart shape on the top of his head hence his name.
He is an Albino Corn Snake, The snake isn't poisonous, and he doesn't have sharp teeth. He eats dead mice about once every ten days.

I went to Desiree's last night to pick out some outfits for some shoots and to discuss ideas. We ended up deciding that we wanted to shoot in a creek right after sunrise, so we came up with an idea for the outfit and put the plan into action. We woke up at 8ish a.m. with about 3 hours of sleep under our belts. I packed the gear and picked up Desiree and my awesome friend Shae who assisted me. We all headed to Wallyworld to pick up a pack of Hanes t's to cut for the outfit and stopped at starbucks =p omnomnom....fast forward 30 minutes, we arrive at the creek and realize we may have bitten off more than we could chew. The water was absolutely FREEZING. Pretty sure the air temperature peaked in the low 50's. Anyway, we shot around in the swamp like creek for 2 whole hours and peaced out of there.
I'm pretty sure we may have all picked up a few diseases, but I think it was worth it. I'm actually excited to upload more, so keep checking back!
p.s. for this shot, my camera was way closer to the water than I ever wanted it to be...let's just say that it was in a plastic baggy, and the excess slack from the bag was in the water....

El monasterio benedictino de Ripoll fue fundado por el conde Guifré el Pilós en el año 879. El 20 de abril del año 888 el monasterio de Ripoll fue solemnemente consagrado y dedicado a Santa María.
La creciente importancia del monasterio de Ripoll como centro cultural, con biblioteca,scriptorium y escuela monástica medieval, motivó sucesivas ampliaciones del edificio, siendo la efectuada por el abad Oliba (1008-1046) la que conformaría sus formas definitivas : 60 por 40 metros en un edificio petreo de formas austeras y macizas, de cinco naves, con un cuerpo de edificio delantero encima del cual se levantaron dos torres de campanarios y en la parte posterior un grandioso transepto coronado por un ábside central y tres absidiolos a cada lado.
El templo ha sufrido diversas restauraciones. En especial la realizada tras el terremoto de 1428 y la de 1830 que redujo a tres las cinco naves originales.Las dimensiones de la nave principal son las originales : 60 m. de largo por 9 de ancho. En el crucero y en los muros de la nave central se hallan las tumbas de muchos delos condes de Besalú y Barcelona como Guifré el Pelós, Ramon Berenguer III y IV.
La obra principal del monasterio y de la escultura románica de Catalunya, es la portada del siglo XII. Se divide en siete franjas horizontales donde se representan escenas bíblicas, históricas y alegóricas. La rica iconografía combina los grupos temáticos entre motivos florales de gran exuberancia y ornamentaciones de líneas geométricas, sin ningún lugar en que el cincel no se haya dejado sentir.A ambos lados del portal están las imágenes mutiladas de San Pedro y San Pablo.
El claustro del templo consta de dos pisos. Fué iniciado en siglo XII, quedando paralizada la construcción hasta fines del siglo XIV. La galería superior quedó completada en el siglo XVI. Tiene forma trapezoidal y consta de 112 arcos semicirculares y 252 columnas de capiteles esculpidos con motivos religiosos, mitológicos y populares.

The Benedictine monastery of Ripoll was founded by the Count Guifré Pilos in the year 879. On April 20 the year 888 the monastery of Ripoll was solemnly consecrated and dedicated to Santa Maria.
The growing importance of the monastery of Ripoll and cultural center, library, medieval monastic scriptorium, and school, motivated successive enlargements of the building being completed by Abbot Oliba (1008-1046) to settle its final form: 60 by 40 meters in building stone of an austere and solid forms of five ships, with a body above the front building was erected two towers and steeples on the back a great transept topped by a central apse apsidioles and three on each side.
The temple has undergone several restorations. Especially the one made after the earthquake of 1428 and 1830 it dropped to five ships originales.Las the three dimensions of the nave are the original: 60 m. long by 9 wide. In the cruise and on the walls of the nave are the tombs of many counts of Besalú models and the Pelós Guifré Barcelona, Ramon Berenguer III and IV.
The main work of the monastery and the Romanesque sculpture of Catalunya, is the cover of the twelfth century. It is divided into seven horizontal bands which represent biblical scenes, allegorical and historical. The rich iconography combines clusters between floral ornaments of great exuberance and geometric lines, with no place where the chisel has not stopped both sides of the portal sentir.A are images of mutilated San Pedro and San Pablo.
The cloister of the temple consists of two floors. It was begun in the twelfth century, was paralyzed construction until the end of the fourteenth century. The upper gallery was completed in the sixteenth century. Have trapezoidal shape and consists of 112 semicircular arches and 252 columns capitals carved with religious, mythological and popular.
The usual subject from a rather usual angle, if compared to my previous jetty shot, which was a bit unusual...

(more in comments)
I have been so bored without the internet. Its pathetic.
1. I deleted over 1000 songs on my itunes.
2. I wrote seven letters I have been meaning to for months and sent them out today
3. I got my first roll of film developed.
4. I rode a bike for the first time in years.
5. I finally figured out the perfect combination for my starbucks coffee
6. I ate over 21 rolls of Mentos in two days. Im not kidding. Im about to run out and get more.
7. I rediscovered my love for Harris Teeter.
They got rid of all of them in GA and here in NC they are all over the place.
8. I read two very long magazines devoted to Michael Jackson's life. My mother is in love with him and I had nothing else to do. Members of my family will appreciate that. Just take my word for it, that meant I was literally dying of nothing to do.
9. I got to know the cashier at ACE hardware while going there to purchase a dryer aghast pipe.
Apparently her husband lost his son for over 27 years because his first wife ran off with him as a baby. The husband found him though, he was in FL, and they are now reunited and the husband of the cashier was able to attend his long lost sons wedding last month.
Once upon a time, three little girls lived in a cottage in the middle of the woods while their parents went on a business trip.
Goldilocks, Whiteylocks and Hazelocks.
You have most probably read about Goldilocks's story before, but have you heard of what happens next?
After Goldilocks fled from the home of the 3 bears, she was angry and humiliated, being the spoiled little girl she was, she felt that she had done no wrong. She vowed to get them back somehow, some day.
One early morning, Goldilock's youngest sister Hazelocks barged into her room excitedly announcing that a baby bear was in their kitchen. Hazelocks had medium length brown hair, she was tomboyish and did not act like a proper lady, she also had certain strange sadistic habits and was fascinated with torturing insects.
Goldilocks was delighted when she rushed to the kitchen and saw the familiar bear, although it had messed up the kitchen and was even stealing oatmeal from one of their bowls. Hazelocks started jumping around in excitement, and Goldilocks started formulating a plan.
Goldilocks was vain, arrogant and as aforementioned, terribly spoiled. She wanted a fur coat, her parents had promised to buy her one but their business trip was taking forever. She came up with a stupid and cruel plan, she wanted to skin the bear and use the baby bear's fur for a coat.
She told her sister who happily agreed that she would help Goldilocks with any "bloody disgusting" jobs when they skinned the bear. She was as excited as her sister and because of her warped mind, she enjoyed seeing any living organism suffer, except for herself or her family members.
Just then, Goldilock's 2nd sister, Whiteylocks (the middle child) rushed in and in her gentle persuasive tone, tried to stop her sisters from such acts of cruelty against animals. Whiteylocks was demure, gentle, well-mannered and she loved animals. Like all sickeningly sweet fairy tale princesses, she was adored by everyone but her eldest sister who was jealous of her.
Ignoring Whiteylocks, Goldilocks and Hazelocks were still bent on carrying out their plans. Advancing towards the bear cub with a knife, Hazelocks had a murderous look in her eyes as she raised the sharp deadly object.
The bear cub sensed danger and started squealing and calling for its mother in its own bear-speak that none of the three girls understood.
Just then, the girls heard a growl and charging with miraculous speed for an animal so large, the mother bear jumped through the window and continued growling menacingly at the three girls while protectively defending her baby cub.
She recognized Goldilocks as the intruder to her home and roared with anger, firstly, she had stolen their food, ruined their furniture and slept in her baby's bed and now, she wanted to hurt her baby.
Goldilocks and her sisters were already cornered, in her fury, the mother ripped Goldilocks apart and that sent her other 2 sisters screaming and crying, running for their lives. The mother bear turned to chase Hazelocks whom she had seen holding the knife and tore her into shreds. Whiteylocks being well read knew that there were 2 ways to escape a bear,
1. Climb a tree
2. Act dead
and since there was no tree in the house, she sprawled on the floor, trying to hold her breath and keep her calm, faking death. But the mother bear did not hurt her, she and her baby cub left the house which had been so clean a few minutes ago. (In comparison to it's current state the messed up kitchen would have been considered "clean")
Whiteylocks stared at her sister's dead bodies, or rather, what was left of them, and froze, her already semi-white hair turned whiter from shock into a pure white, her naturally pale skin paled further and her large eyes remained opened to the fullest, she couldn't stop shaking, she couldn't talk, she sat there in the house in the same position for days.
Eventually when the parents of the three girls returned, they were shocked to see the blood and the torn up bodies.
Whiteylocks was also dead. She sat in the same position, wrapping her arms around her own body. She had died from the lack of water and food.
And that was the sad end of the three little girls who lived in the cottage in the middle of the woods.

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.
After a few posts from other parts of Brazil, I am continually drawn back to my favorite location there, Iguazu Falls. The name "Iguazu" comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y [ɨ], meaning "water", and ûasú [waˈsu], meaning "big". wiki That said, I'd be hard pressed to not call this place "land of the waterfalls" or "terra das cachoeiras".
This is a 6 shot vertical pano (w/reverse ND Grad) taken 10 mins. prior to and up stream from this post. With the nice light, I was really hoping this pano would turn out. You can see all of the mist, so I was kept busy wiping off the lens in between shots. I couldn't get Photoshop to stitch these together, so after numerous tries I went a different route and am very glad I was able to salvage it.
Thanks for looking!

So I had to take the dog for his pre dinner walk but the sky had been threatening all day to produce a good sunset. Sod it I thought I'll take my camera along. Both me and the little fella scrambled out to this little vantage point and waited. A little crack in the clouds behind me and it was as if someone had opened the gates to the fires of hell. The sky was literally blood red. This is taken facing in the opposite direction however, but still managed to get a bit of the colour . The fire stayed in the sky for a very pleasant 10 minutes and then went as quickly as it came. Dougal was impressed and sat the whole time perched on a rock looking out to sea. I wish every walk was like this one.
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.

A couple weeks ago I organized a "glitter party," which was basically just a mass photoshoot involving lots of people, glitter, and a field. Unfortunately, the internet on my computer is down and has been down for about a week or so now. I can't seem to figure out how to get reconnected to the internet, neither can my brother. So my internet usage is reduced to whenever I can get on somebody else's computer. I don't like it at all.

Petit coin sympathique découvert avec Yoann hier après midi accessible à marée basse après une petite marche sur la plage précédente. Cette plage est bordée de très grands palétuviers et le sable recouvert par endroits de feuilles mortes. Quand nous sommes arrivés, le soleil passait déjà sous l'horizon, il a fallut trouver rapidement des éléments de composition (en évitant de se faire piquer par une escadrille de taons :-). Rémire-montjoly (Guyane française) le 20 novembre 2008, route des plages à l'embouchure du fleuve le Mahury.

Sympathetic spot discovered with Yoann yesterday afternoon accessible to low tide after a small walk on the preceding beach. This range is bordered with very high mangroves trees and the sand covered by places with black leaves. When we arrived, the sun was nearly below the horizon, we had to quickly find elements of composition (while avoiding being bitten by a group of horseflies :-). Rémire-montjoly (French Guiana) on November 20, 2008, road of the beaches to the mouth of the river Mahury.

Dad playing the Wii. Which is very hilarious to me because Jeremy wants one SO bad but my dad refuses to buy him another video game system. We have 2 NES's, one SNES, one N64, 2 PS1's, 2 PS2's and a Game Cube. Plus we have the first Gameboy, and Jeremy personally (personally meaning he doesn't share them with the family, hah) has the first colour Gameboy, a flippy Gameboy, and 2 of the touchy pencil thingy Gameboys. And for each system we have over 20 games in addition to controlers, rumble packs, memory cards, all those accessories. Yeah, add it up. The boy is OBSESSED with video games. My dad is vehemently against buying him any more because that's all he seems to do anymore is play video games. So It was just really funny to me that my dad got sucked into playing the Wii at a friends house on New Years. Jeremy didn't come to the party obviously, because if he had my dad would not have touched the damn thing. And he had SO much fun playing it! It was fun to watch him. You can see he's sort of smiling here. :)

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

cuando pasabas con tu otoño a cuestas
mayo por mi ventana
y hacías señales con la luz
de las hojas finales
¿qué me querías decir mayo?
¿porqué eras triste o dulce en tu tristeza?
nunca lo supe pero siempre
había un hombre solo entre los oros de la calle
pero yo era ese niño
detrás de la ventana
cuando pasabas mayo
como abrigándome los ojos
y el hombre sería yo
ahora que recuerdo.

Lisboa, 30/04/2011
With the company of mister Nelson Bolinhas.
Despite the bad weather, we decided to shoot another sunrise, to remember how good it feels to wake up at 5:00 ...
The aim was to repeat the visit to the piers in Povoa de Santa Iria, but after an attack of thousands of mosquitoes we decided to look elsewhere, and we went to this place never after photographed.
The weather was bad, the colors and the sun didn't appeared and this was my last record already in the rain.
Apesar do mau tempo, decidimos fazer mais um nascer do dia, para recordar como é bom acordar às 5:00...
O objectivo era repetir a visita ao cais palafítico da Póvoa de Santa Iria, mas depois de uma ataque de milhares de melgas decidimos procurar outras paragens, e fomos até este sitio muito pouco fotografado.
O tempo estava mau, as cores e sol não apareceram e este foi o meu último registo já debaixo de chuva.
A circa 15 mesi dal trasferimento del ramo d'azienda da Gemini S.I. S.p.A. alla Libeccio S.r.L. (successivamente gruppo OMEGA S.p.A.) e dalla nascita della società Video On Line 2 S.r.L. si presenta nuovamente, per uno tra i più grandi Call-Center del cagliaritano, la quinta crisi societaria capace di mettere a repentaglio il posto di lavoro di circa 500 famiglie sarde.
Le vicende della Libeccio (amministratore unico Claudio Marcello Massa, Procuratore Salvatore Riccardo Cammalleri), e del gruppo Omega rischia di travolgere la società Video On Line 2.0 con sede a Cagliari in via Montecassino, polo di eccellenza sardo nel settore dei “servizi di qualità” alle imprese.
Quanto è accaduto a più di 9000 lavoratori e lavoratrici di aziende del gruppo Omega: Agile , Phonemedia, RAF S.p.A., Soft4Web e Multimedia Planet, toccherà presto anche all’azienda cagliaritana che con i suoi 500 dipendenti gestisce l’assistenza tecnica per i clienti di Telecom Italia ed IPSOA.
La vertenza VOL2 riguarda lavoratori che operano per Telecom Italia da più di 14 anni, i quali con l’elevata professionalità riconosciuta dalla stessa Telecom Italia, oltre che dalla clientela 187 e Business, garantiscono al committente standard di qualità e professionalità superiori alla media.
I lavoratori di Via Montecassino a Cagliari vivono, nuovamente, da mesi con la costante preoccupazione che l’azienda fallisca e con essa i posti di lavoro su cui 500 famiglie sarde hanno costruito il proprio futuro.
per favore, guardatela in grande

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