Excerpt from taipingkoon.com.hk/index.php/en/about/milestone:
Tai Ping Koon Restaurant (TPK) was founded in 1860 (Qing Dynasty-10th year of Xianfeng) by Mr. Chui Lo Ko who originally worked as a Chef for a western trading company in Guangzhou and his specialties were western dishes. He left the company and became a hawker. Created a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, which were appreciated by his customer. In 1860, Mr. Chui started up his own restaurant in Tai Ping Sha of Guangzhou and he named it according to the venue. It was the first restaurant in Guangzhou specializing in western cuisine.
The most special dishes such as roasted pigeon, smoked pomfret, Baked Coconut Chicken in Portuguese Style were created by Mr. Chui and renowned in Southern Guangdong. The Marinade invented by the successors became an incomparable classical dish as well. The historic customers include Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek. In 1938, successors of Mr. Chui started up the first TPK in Hong Kong and became the first ancestor of Hong Kong Style Western Restaurant. TPK obtained an important status in the culture of Hong Kong Diet. Nowadays, Hong Kong Tai Ping Koon restaurant is still run by the Chui family. (No branch in Mainland China)

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.
Another RogueOlympics entry, where the prompt was “Balance”. Which brought to mind the design principle of balance, with the simplest version being symmetrical balance. Cue a very fun day building this spaceship and playing with the color-scheme. Between it and the display stand, 100 elements were used.

listen to Gabrielle Aplin version of "The Liar and the lighter"
I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me,
This is what I need,
Please.
[Refrain:]
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening.
[Repeat Refrain]
This heart, it beats, beats for only you (2x)

Location Info..
The Johnson Street Bridge is a bascule bridge that spans the harbour of Victoria, British Columbia. It is nicknamed "Big Blue" because of its distinctive blue colour.
The bascule spans were designed by the Strauss Bascule Company Limited and were fabricated in Ontario. The sub-structure was built by the City of Victoria Engineering Department and required 9, 144 cubic metres of concrete. The bridge was completed in January 1924 at a cost of C$918,000. The original wood deck was replaced by a steel grid in 1966 and the steel structure was repainted in 1979 as part of an extensive renovation.
The bridge has two opening spans of 45 m (148 ft) that operate independently, a three-lane highway span of 350 tonnes and a railway span of 150 tons. The approaches are fixed girders, the east is 34 m (112 ft) and the west is 22 m (72 ft). The counterweights are made of hollow concrete and total 780 tonnes. Daily traffic is 30,000 vehicles.
Technique...
Three raw exposures taken at -2, 0, +2 EV. Tonemapped in Photomatix, then bumped contrast and did an Unsharp Mask in PSE7 to enhance the details.

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.
REZ GONZÁLEZ
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.

Voy a subir una serie de 15 fotos de esta Iglesia, en tres tandas de 5 fotos cada una y es que no me podía decidir por una única toma y eso que que no pude fotografiar el osario, que ya queda para otra visita. Mañana o por la noche una serie del interior.
Otra de mis dudas fue elegir que foto ponía de principal, así es que al final puse esta un poco al azar. Quiero dedicar estas fotos a todos los que odian el HDR para que vean que a veces tampoco es tan malo usarlo.
La iglesia de Santa María, tal y como está estructurada hoy día, cuenta con tres naves, un crucero no señalado en planta y tres capillas rectangulares en la cabecera. El crucero y la cabecera son de época mozárabe, del siglo X. Se trata de un espacio muy compartimentado, separado con pilares sencillos que soportan arcos de herradura. Uno de los pilares del lado de la Epístola conserva un capitel tallado a bisel con formas vegetales estilizadas. Algunas bóvedas son de cañón, con generatriz de herradura y otras han sido rehechas. El cuerpo de la iglesia es románico de finales del siglo XII; consta de tres naves separadas por pilares compuestos de núcleo rectangular y columnas adosadas, con capiteles de tres tipos: con motivos vegetales, con figuraciones animalísticas y monstruosas, y con representaciones historiadas, como el Pecado Original, la Gula, el Peso de las Almas y otras. Los arcos son apuntados y de rosca doblada y la cubrición es de madera. Entre las portadas destaca la de los pies, que tiene un tímpano y va protegida por un tejaroz con canecillos decorados con figuras de animales y cabezas humanas. Las tres columnas de las jambas llevan capiteles con decoración animal y vegetal y las arquivoltas se decoran con lóbulos y gruesos boceles.
En el muro del testero de la capilla mayor se conservan restos de pintura al fresco que parecen imitar la decoración de una tela oriental. Entre la imaginería que conserva la iglesia hay que destacar un Cristo en madera policromada del tercer cuarto del siglo XVI, de clara influencia berruguetesca,que se acerca a los tipos de Francisco Giralte. Entre los retablos hay que fijarse en un retablo de pintura de principios del siglo XVI, de dos cuerpos y tres calles, con una arquitectura de estilo plateresco. La tabla central representa la Epifanía, flanqueada por Santa Catalina con un donante y San Pedro y San Pablo. En el espacio homónimo se encuentra la escena del Llanto por Cristo Muerto, flanqueada por San Juan Bautista, con donantes femeninos y San Miguel, con donantes masculinos.
Pero además Wamba cuenta con dos ermitas, la del Humilladero y la de la Virgen de la Encina.
Elles s'appellent Mignonne, Câline, la Gaillarde ou bien la Coquette, la Friponne, la Finotte... Elles peuplent nos belles montagnes cantaliennes, elles rythment les pâturages et les rondeurs des estives de leurs cloches qui égrènent leur son de bronze à chaque mouvement de tête...
Depuis la vallée on monte sur la plateau à travers les buis et les genêts, jusqu'à l'étang de Lachamp où la vue s'étire jusqu'au Puy Mary... et poursuivre vers Lascourt... Mais chut, ne dérangeons pas nos belles "encornées"!!!!
( Entre les communes du Claux et de Cheylade, Cantal, Auvergne )

I arrived early in Yosemite Valley one day and made my way down a muddy
trail to the shores of the Merced River and was treated to the light from
the rising sun breaking over the east end of the valley. Fog rose off the
Valley floor and I snapped off this shot at the base of El Capitan.

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.

The difference is what you choose to fix your eyes on. If you focus on the storm you're in, you'll lose hope. You'll give up. But if you keep your eyes on the sun on the horizon - the rewards for your faithfulness, the deepening of your relationship with your Lord, the better thing God will give you in place of what you have lost - then there will be joy in this journey. So, keep on driving. Drive carefully and look down the road at the beauty that's on ahead. For just like us on that snowy, stormy day, you'll soon be celebrating a break in the clouds and a day that is flooded with glorious sunlight. No matter how dark it looks now, there are brighter skies ahead

Mini (styled as MINI) is a British automotive brand owned by the BMW Group that has produced the successor of the original Mini in Oxford, England since April 2001. Currently[update] three body variants are available: hatchback, convertible and Clubman.
The car, whose first generation was designed by Frank Stephenson,[1] is drawing inspiration from the original Mini, which was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation and its successors from 1959 to 2000. The name of the car's brand, MINI, is all-capitalized to distinguish it from its predecessor.[2]
The development of the first generation had been done between 1995 and 2001 by Rover Group in Gaydon, United Kingdom and BMW AG in Munich, Germany and was accompanied by continual contention between Rover and BMW. Especially the positioning of the car was contended. Rover wanted an economy car, whilst BMW supported a small sporting car and finally prevailed. In 1999 BMW assumed control over the whole project after BMW's CEO Bernd Pischetsrieder had left the company.[3] When BMW divested itself of Rover in 2000, BMW decided to keep the Mini project and to build the car, which was originally to be built at Rover's Longbridge plant,[3] the former production plant of the traditional Mini, at BMW's Oxford plant in Cowley, Oxford, United Kingdom, in what was historically the Pressed Steel Company body plant. [4]
The 2001 to 2006 model years included four hatchback models: the basic "Mini One", the diesel-engined "Mini One/D", the sportier "Mini Cooper" and the supercharged "Mini Cooper S". In 2005 a convertible roof option was added. In November 2006 BMW released a re-engineered version of the Mini which is unofficially known as the "Mk II Mini".[5] The Mk II is currently[update] available as a hatchback and a wagon (Clubman). The convertible was still based on the MK 1 until January 2009. Now, it is based on the MK 2.

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.

Pedraza es una localidad y municipio de la provincia de Segovia (España), situado a 37 km al nordeste de Segovia capital y con una población residente de 473 personas. Se trata de una villa medieval amurallada, cuya cuidada rehabilitación motivó su declaración como Conjunto Monumental en 1951.
El castillo de Pedraza es una fortaleza construida en el siglo XIII que se reedificó en el siglo XV por García Herrera. A principios del siglo XVI los Duques de Frías, Condestables de Castilla, reformaron el castillo de nuevo, añadiéndole el gran muro defensivo adherido a la torre del homenaje y el muro exterior dotado de cañoneras y un puente levadizo (hoy desaparecido). El castillo cuenta con una imponente torre del homenaje, foso, y está rodeado en la mayoría de su perímetro por un acantilado. Se ha alegado que en esta fortaleza estuvieron prisioneros los hijos de Francisco I de Francia entre 1525 y 1529 aunque también se mantiene la tesis de que se mantuvieron cautivos en el vecino castillo de Castilnovo (también perteneciente a los Duques de Frías).
En 1926, el pintor Ignacio Zuloaga adquirió el castillo y lo restauró severamente, instalando allí un taller. Los herederos del pintor adaptaron una de las torres para la exposición al público de una parte de la obra del artista.

Jiancing Historic Trail, like many other trails in Taipingshan National Forest, was built along the old logging railway. The elevation of 2000m is the height at which clouds form and linger. Jiancing (見晴) actually means the wish for a clear day. For a photographer, however, there's nothing better than hiking all day in the impenetrable white mist.

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!

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 =)

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!
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

[Català] Aquestes torres es van començar a aixecar a partir de 1928 segons un projecte de l'arquitecte Ramon Reventós i Farrarons, qui també va participar en els projectes del Teatre Grec i del Poble Espanyol, ambdós inclosos en el projecte de l'Exposició. Es troben emplaçades entre les dues grans columnates que tanquen la plaça Espanya i el Palau Tèxtil i el Palau de Comunicacions i Transports. Es van servir com model del campanar de la catedral de San Marcos de Venècia, d'on prenen el nom de Torres “Venecianes” com les hi coneix popularment.

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.

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.

i'm getting so ridiculously feminine i think i may have had a lobotomy without realising it.
this represents a lot to me, you have to give it your all in order to get somewhere or anywhere, or achieve something to yourself.
i think, i'm on my way there, in my head, in myself.

This was featured as the Daily Photoist on Torontoist for December 25, 2009 and as one of Torontoist's favourite photos of 2009!
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.
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.

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.
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.
in english :In its early days of the swallowtail caterpillar occurs easily among the stalks of carrot or fennel as here with his black and red contrasting with the green environment. But the white spot on his back gives him the appearance of droppings. Parade ingenious vis-à-vis potential predators such as birds, because the eyes of these, it becomes irrelevant.
