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.
This is dedicated to a woman, an engineer, a mother and a good friend from across the world. I could still remember that I added her some months ago.
She was gone for quite sometime which I can't recall, came back and uploaded all her fabulous shots from Canada and Norway. I made some remarks on them that made her feel comfortable. Our friendship started from there :D
Cheers to you my dear friend Jocelyn Hidalgo!
Just got back home after ten days in Chicago, where I stayed in a Holiday Inn right across the Chicago River from this amazing-looking building.
Chicago has an absolutely gorgeous downtown area, probably one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Old buildings and new rise side by side, and the river runs through them all. There are cool 1930s-style steel lift bridges every block and, to top off the eye candy, there's even an elevated train. They call this part of town The Loop, I'm not sure why. What I *am* sure of is that I'd love to go back there and take photographs for about two or three weeks someday. It's a photographer's dream.

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

As a perfume doth remain
In the folds where it hath lain,
So the thought of you, remaining
Deeply folded in my brain,
Will not leave me: all things leave me:
You remain.
Other thoughts may come and go,
Other moments I may know
That shall waft me, in their going,
As a breath blown to and fro,
Fragrant memories: fragrant memories
Come and go.
Only thoughts of you remain
In my heart where they have lain,
Perfumed thoughts of you, remaining,
A hid sweetness, in my brain.
Others leave me: all things leave me:
You remain.

touch your dreams
but what you can hold

you should not keep
strew them back
set them free
give them wings
let them reach

they will be blind
who will fail

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

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

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".

Built for 2012 MocAthalon over at MocPages for Team Common Elements in the category of Adventure Time!
Backstory:
At an early age, Jack Lightning developed an ecentric taste for jazz tunes, historical fiction and treasure. He spends his days traveling to ever more remote locations in search of adventure. Most recently, after uncovering the hidden clues to an obscure tomb within the passages of a latest bestselling novel he found himself up against his most vile threat yet - Walter the Devourer.
Placed in the ancient tomb as a kitten, long before the world of mice & men even knew about such a place, Walter the Devourer was granted immortality in exchange for his servitude. He took his role seriously, over time growing to monstrous proportions to defend the tomb.
Just whose tomb is it? And who placed Walter within? But perhaps the most important question - will Jack Lightning make it out alive or suffer the fate of all the other tomb raiders who came before him?
After Marymere Falls, we made our way to Sol Duc Hot Springs. The waterfall at Sol Duc is supposedly the most photographed spot in Olympic National Park. We got there too late to get good shots of the falls. The sun was high in the sky and direct light was falling across the river. Luckily, the bright sun had the fortuitous side effect of making a rainbow!
You'd think that the mid-day sunlight would have been my biggest photographic challenge, but in this case, the crowds of people enjoying the falls was a much bigger issue. You can't tell from the photos, but there was easily a dozen people enjoying the falls at the same time we were. I had to be very patient and strategic to avoid getting other tourists in my shot.
The Sol Duc Falls Trail starts out right past the campground. The falls are an easy .8 mile walk from the parking lot.
Birmania centrale - Villaggio di Bo De Ta Htaung, vicino a Monywa.
All'nterno di questo Buddha di 10 piani, si sta allestendo un museo della storia della civiltà orientale da Angkor in poi..
In alcune sale sono riprodotti degli affreschi terrificanti di cui non ho capito bene il significato poichè le didascalie erano unicamente in lingua birmana ma che ho interpretato come una sorta di Inferno Buddista che farebbe impallidire persinio Dante.

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.

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.

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

What is pretty is beautiful in a delicate or graceful way.
So many beauties in this appealing world
The true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes
There is beauty in the child's innocence and in mother's love
There is beauty in a friend's affection and in a tender heart
There is beauty in a pretty smile and caring eyes
There is beauty in the morning sun and a rainy day
There is beauty in the flaky slow and a pleasant spring
There is beauty in the milky moon and the graceful rivers
There is beauty in a hard earned victory and a hopeful soul
There is beauty in me and beauty in you
So many beauties in this spectacular world and its dazzling life
And the true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes

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.
The Tabur Hill Ridge is rated the Longest Quartz-Rich Ridge in the world. (The Dragon's Backbone 16KM)
Bukit Tabur can be considered as Class 4 of Yosemite Decimal System (YDS).
Bukit Tabur (Tabur Hill) a.k.a. Bukit Melawati is located in the District of Gombak, by the Klang Gate Dam. The hill, which is approximately 656 ft (200 m), is said to have the longest quartz ridge formation in the world. The peak offers spectacular view of the dam on one side and the Kuala Lumpur city skyline on the other.
