Crossing Over- 2007

Hilo, HI

F/4.2 - 30sec. - 100/ISO

Nikon D80 - Hoya R72 IR Filter

 

I have made a few saturation and contrast changes based upon test prints and feedback from other artist/photographers. My goal is to get a closer print color match for all of the images in the infrared series. I will be adding new photos into the series soon but this is the final round of updates I will be making to the past infrared collection. The print collection will be shown at several Seattle locations in the next few months.

 

All of my infrared images are captured using a Nikon D80 and a Hoya R72 IR Filter.

 

Thanks to everyone for all of the comments and feedback on this series. Prints are available for purchase - send me an email for more information

Stowe I reworked detail...... V&A

 

To build, to plant, whatever you intend,

To rear the Column, or the Arch to bend,

To swell the Terras, or to sink the Grot;

In all, let Nature never be forgot.

But treat the Goddess like a modest fair,

Nor over-dress, nor leave her wholly bare;

Let not each beauty ev'ry where be spy'd,

Where half the skill is decently to hide.

He gains all points who pleasingly confounds

Surprises, varies, and conceals the Bounds.

Consult the Genius of the Place in all;

That tells the Waters or to rise, or fall,

Or helps th' ambitious Hill the heav'n to scale,

Or scoops in circling theatres the Vale,

Calls in the Country, catches opening glades,

Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades,

Now breaks or now directs th' intending Lines;

Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.

Still follow Sense, of ev'ry Art the Soul,

Parts answ'ring parts shall slide into a whole,

Spontaneous beauties all around advance,

Start ev'n from Difficulty, strike from Chance;

Nature shall join you, Time shall make it grow

A Work to wonder at--perhaps a STOWE.

Acacia dealbata é uma espécie de árvore nativa da Austrália. Tem crescimento rápido, desenvolvendo-se rapidamente depois dos fogos. Não vive normalmente mais do que 30 a 40 anos, ao fim dos quais é substituída por outras. É conhecida vulgarmente como mimosa, no entanto não pertence ao género Mimosa.

Devido à facilidade de propagação e resistência, é uma espécie invasora em muitos habitats.

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_dealbata

Acacia dealbata (Silver Wattle) is a species of Acacia, native to southeastern Australia in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory.[1]

It is a fast growing evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 30 m tall, typically a pioneer species after fire. The leaves are bipinnate, glaucous blue-green to silvery grey, 1–12 cm (occasionally to 17 cm) long and 1–11 cm broad, with 6–30 pairs of pinnae, each pinna divided into 10–68 pairs of leaflets; the leaflets are 0.7–6 mm long and 0.4–1 mm broad. The flowers are produced in large racemose inflorescences made up of numerous smaller globose bright yellow flowerheads of 13–42 individual flowers. The fruit is a flattened pod 2–11.5 cm long and 6–14 mm broad, containing several seeds.[2] Trees generally do not live longer than 30 to 40 years, after which in the wild they are succeeded by other species where bushfires are excluded.

    

NE ME QUITTE PAS

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.

El éxito de la aventura cisterciense explica Poblet. Cister es fundado en 1098, y Poblet en 1150, cuando todavía no han pasado cien años. Los siglos XII y XIII son fundamentales en la historia de nuestro monasterio. De hecho, ellos nos dejan acabadas las principales dependencias de la casa: un espacio, bello y funcional a la par, para la búsqueda de Dios, que nos ha llegado casi intacto en su totalidad. El XIV es todavía un siglo de grandes realizaciones, y también el del declive, lento pero indefectible. Se ha de decir que la documentación conocida sobre la vida privada de la comunidad de Poblet no refleja, a lo largo de los siglos, desviaciones notables del ideal inicial de los fundadores de Cister y, a su vez, de los fundadores de Poblet, provenientes de Fontfroide. De hecho, ésta, la auténtica historia de Poblet, aún no ha sido escrita ni seguramente lo será nunca; la de los monjes que, dia a dia, enfilando salmos, aseguraron el crecimiento y la continuidad de la casa, la domus Populeti. Podríamos explicar así la sucesión de los días y de los años que completan los siglos XV, XVI, XVII y XVIII: Poblet, la institución, la comunidad, sus monjes, buscan dar un nuevo rostro, formas diferentes a aquello que viven en la intimidad del propio corazón. Sin embargo, no siempre lo podrán hacer con la transparencia y el vigor del primer ideal. El siglo XIX, con una sociedad que experimenta cambios profundos, plantará, con el abandono y el progresivo expolio del monasterio desierto, la semilla de una futura recuperación. Una recuperación que también hará posible, con el retorno de los monjes el año 1940, la vuelta a una formas de vida más puras, más auténticas, más profundamente benedictinas y, por tanto, también más evangélicas. Los monjes actuales, herederos de los antiguos, nunca lo podremos agradecer suficientemente, porque la autenticidad es, quizás, uno de los valores más importantes que podemos y debemos ofrecer a los hombres y mujeres de nuestro tiempo.

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.

A resort about 2 hours south of Manila. Yesterday, we left at about 0815 and arrived at the venue at about 1430 or approximately 6 freaking hours! There was a vehicular accident in Calamba, Laguna the previous night and it was not yet resolved by the time we passed by.

 

As we did not have any previous reservation, and only got the name of this resort from one of our passengers, we did not know what to expect. We did not want to go home empty handed after what we have been through that we were willing to settle for anything just as long as we can shoot. And to our delight, the beach front and the landscape of this resort was majestic. Certainly, we saw the Light!

 

We left the resort at about 2130, exhausted and hungry. We were back in Manila at about 1230 in the morning.

 

An exhausting but fulflling 18 hour travel and shoot day!

 

Going out the whole day.. Will catch up tonight. Thanks for your understanding.

as a few of my friends would tell you, i had this shot in mind for some time. to make a city of nuts and bolts. the photographer friends kept asking me to do it. i didn't have the knowledge of lighting i wanted to pull off even a half reasonable job. At the monday night class im attending, the teacher gave us an assignment; shoot any still object and, light it how we like. the class was divided in 4. as i was the last in my group i didn't get a chance to have a turn as we ran out of time. but promised my group i would attempt it at home. Juanita, as promised ;)

 

not enough room inside. had to move all the gear under the pergola outside, the friggin logistics lol. a big thanks to karla for all her help.

 

strobist info - sb800 camera left high @ 1/16 power, sb800 camera right and low @ 1/64 power both fired through umbrellas, sb600 fired to white backdrop @ 1/64 power. all flash heads zoomed to 85mm.

 

it didn't turn out exactly as i pictured on paper, but close enough. there are a few hot spots i know. it was getting late last night and wanted to pack the equipment and didnt bother with re shooting ;). the blur on the bottom is caused by my lens being butted up against the board the bolts were balanced on. wanted to get down low as i could to make the bolts look bigger then they were.

The general term ice age or, more precisely, "glacial age" denotes a geological period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in an expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. There have been at least four major ice ages in the Earth's past. Outside these periods, the Earth seems to have been ice-free even in high latitudes. There is evidence that greenhouse gas levels fell at the start of ice ages and rose during the retreat of the ice sheets, but it is difficult to establish cause and effect (see the notes above on the role of weathering). Greenhouse gas levels may also have been affected by other factors which have been proposed as causes of ice ages, such as the movement of continents and vulcanism. Although the last glacial period ended more than 8,000 years ago, its effects can still be felt today. For example, the moving ice carved out landscape in Canada, Greenland, northern Eurasia and Antarctica. The erratic boulders, till, drumlins, eskers, fjords, kettle lakes, moraines, cirques, horns, etc., are typical features left behind by the glaciers.

This is the Marken lighthouse, given its name due to its shape ('paard' means 'horse' in dutch). The original was built in 1700, then reconstructed on top of the early foundations in 1839. It's still in use today.

 

Photo of hummocks taken at the lighthouse of Marken. A red airplane flew pretty low around the lighthouse to enjoy the view of the sea of ice. A hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field, Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period.

 

Een ijstijd of glaciatie is een geologisch tijdvak waarin ijskappen voorkomen. In het Engels wordt dit een periode van ice-house genoemd, als tegenhanger van een ijskaploze periode, de greenhouse ("broeikas"). Aangezien er gletsjers liggen op bijvoorbeeld Groenland of Antarctica, leven we tegenwoordig in een ijstijd. Men neemt aan dat dit in de gehele geologische geschiedenis van de Aarde minstens vijfmaal het geval is geweest, waarvan eenmaal zelfs zo sterk dat de ijskappen van de polen vrijwel tot aan de evenaar waren opgerukt. Ook zijn er periodes dat er aanzienlijke opwarming optrad waarbij die ijskappen grotendeels waren weggesmolten. Het klimaat op Aarde wordt beïnvloed door vele factoren, zoals de intensiteit van de zonnestraling, de ligging van de continenten, de continentverplaatsingen, vulkanisme, de zeestromen, de bedekking van het land door vegetatie, het weerkaatsingsvermogen van het aardoppervlak en vele kleine andere factoren. Met behulp van klimaatmodellen wordt door wetenschappers een reconstructie van het klimaat en de klimaatveranderingen in het verleden gemaakt. Alhoewel er een zekere consensus bestaat onder wetenschappers, zijn er nog vele onzekerheden en tegenstrijdigheden in dit onderzoek.

Hierboven een foto van kruiend ijs. Zoetwatermeren kunnen spectaculair bevriezen. Grotere meren zoals het IJsselmeer (IJmeer) hierboven hebben bijna altijd wel golven, en dit werkt directe bevriezing van het wateroppervlak tegen. Eerst vormen zich kleine ijsschotsen, die naar de kust drijven onder invloed van de wind. Deze schotsen vormen zo een ijsveld op het water dat de golven dempt, en uiteindelijk vriezen alle schotsen aan elkaar vast tot een massa. Voordat dit gebeurt schuren de schotsen voortdurend langs elkaar heen en schrapen zo stukjes ijs van elkaar af; elke schots krijgt zo een witte rand. Zulk ijs is dus totaal niet geschikt om op te schaatsen. Wanneer grotere delen van het meer bevriezen beginnen de platen, die soms een paar vierkante kilometer groot zijn, langzaam tegen elkaar te bewegen onder invloed van de wind en stroming. Dit heeft kruiend ijs tot gevolg: de ijsschotsen worden met kracht gebroken en op elkaar gestapeld langs de dijken langs het meer. Dit hoeft niet alleen bij dun ijs te gebeuren; soms kruit het ijs bij een dikte van meer dan 20 cm. De stapels ijs worden dan hoog, en het geluid is oorverdovend. Het Paard van Marken is een vuurtoren van Marken. De vuurtoren is gebouwd in 1839 en staat op de oostelijke punt van het eiland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 16 meter en een lichtbereik van 16,7 km.

Playa of Tengradin, Noja, Cantabria, Spain 25th October 2012

 

I took a very peculiar shot of the beautiful Beach of Tengradin, Noja. It was not long before dawn and that particular light made me feel I was in a different planet, which is why I chose a photoshoped accentuated post with long closed shades and an electric blue that accentuated the "alien" feeling.

Playa di Tengradin, Noja, Cantabria, Spagna 25/10/2012

 

Scatto molto particolare della bellissima Playa di Tengradin di Noja, mancava ancora un po' prima del sorgere del sole e la luce particolare mi ha proprio dato la sensazione di essere su un altro pianeta, per questo motivo ho deciso per una post un po' spinta con le ombre parecchio chiuse e un blu elettrico che accentuasse la sensazione "aliena".

Is there anybody that knows how to solve this?

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.

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.

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

Blue and green, that's all you see when the sun comes out in Lake O'hara region.

 

There are a couple of trails leading to the All Souls Prospect on Mt. Schaffer, but we got lost on the Big Larch Trail and had to scramble all the way up on scree slopes and huge rock piles to gain enough altitude. I can't remember how many times we slipped and watched the loose rocks tumbling down a hundred feet below us. At some point there's just no way up and, not feeling like to risk a broken a leg or arm, we decided to turn around. This was the only time I took out the camera and tripod, and fortunately they are still in one piece.

 

Instead of finding our original trail back, we took a bee line toward the north end of Lake O’hara (left corner of the blue lake). This turned out to be another adventure. But we found our way back and headed directly to the lodge restaurant where we had our precious hiker’s tea.

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!

touch the sun

touch the moment

touch your dreams

but what you can hold

of the sun

of the moment

of your dreams

you should not keep

strew them back

set them free

give them wings

let them reach

the hearts of many

they will be blind

who will fail

to see the gold

in the sun

in the moment

in the dreams

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.

Central Myanmar - Village of Bo De Ta Htaung, . near Monywa

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.

Is somebody knows what it is please tell me!

'star of india' On Black

 

The Star of India is the world's oldest seafaring ship. Built in 1863 at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man, it was an experimental design utilizing iron instead of wood. Launched as Euterpe, a full-rigged ship named after the Greek goddess of music, the ship's initial voyages involved some rough sailing. Her first trip included a collision and mutiny. She came face to face with a cyclone in the Bay of Bengal on her second journey. Her topmasts cut away, she barely made port. Following that, the first captain died on board and was buried at sea.

 

The waters finally quieted and it was smooth sailing during numerous uneventful voyages and several "change of owner" transactions. She served as a cargo ship to India, a passenger vessel hauling emigrants to New Zealand and a commercial salmon fishing and packing facility. Her name was changed to Star of India in 1906 and after 60 years of solid performance in 1923, she was towed to the San Diego bay. Saved from the ax or torch by concerned historians, she sat in port for over 50 years until funding helped renovate the tired old lady which was once a star. In 1976, the fully restored Star of India put to sea for the first time in fifty years, under the command of Captain Carl Bowman. She sailed beautifully that day, to the applause of half a million fans, ashore and afloat. Since then, the Star of India has sailed on numerous special occasions.

 

She has been called the foremost symbol of San Diego, for ships like her were the original sinews of the city's progress. Yet she is more than that-she is the essence of a vanished age, a glorious time when men and women voyaged under towers of masts and clouds of canvas.

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.

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

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.

CAT:

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.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, "It might have been".

Dans ses premiers jours d'existence, la chenille du Machaon s'observe aisément parmi les tiges de carotte ou de fenouil comme ici grâce à sa couleur noire et rouge qui tranche avec le vert de son environnement. Mais la tâche blanche sur son dos lui donne l'aspect d'une fiente. Parade ingénieuse vis-à-vis des éventuels prédateurs que sont les oiseaux, car aux yeux de ceux-ci, elle devient alors sans intérêt.
