A close up of a Whooper Swan that I took on the outskirts of Reykjavik. I was taken to see them by my contact Helgi, they were very used to his visits so I got to view them at very close quarters
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

Photo prise à la forteresse de Râşnov. Ces touristes étaient posté au point le plus haut de la forteresse et admiraient le paysage. Je les ai repéré et j'ai attendu qu'ils aient une attitude photogénique :) J'ai titré "commander of the clouds" mais je crois qu'il disait "Mon intuition me dit qu'on aura une bonne bière dans le bistro qu'on voit là bas !"

Taken at the Râşnov fortress. These tourists were standaing at the higher point of the fortress. I spotted them and waited that they have a photogenic pose :) I choose this title but i think the guy was meaning "My intuition tells me we'll have a good beer in this pub down there".

I try to catch the sunlight
You're drawing down the moon
You know
That some small flying thing
Will be here soon
I'm casting into cyberspace
The tendrils of my web
A hungry, unknown artist
Not
Another dull celeb
The beauty of my photograph
Will catch you if it can
Spinning world illusions
All for unsuspecting men
I ask you
For a little while
To stick with me
Immersed in poem-pictures
Life suspended
On the cyber-tree
The web of granma spider
Will drain you of your blood
While
Cocoons of poem-pictures
Can transform your mood
If you think you are a caterpillar
Climbing up a leaf
I bring a transformation
And a solace for your grief
Unlike the hairy spider
I am not a creeping thief
From your dreary daily burdens
I bring relief
If looking into beauty
You fear that you will die
I offer you a rebirth
See
A butterfly

'God, Thank You for Grain and Grit' On White
Vote for this photo at JPG Magazine.
Photo Notes
I am not a religious person but when I come across something like this and my heart skips a beat and my breathing becomes short, in these moments, I feel like falling to my knees in gratitude.
I love grain and grit and geometry and cracks and shadows and texture and graffiti, and contrast, especially when they are all rolled up together in one luscious package...
Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
I've been away for so long
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Thank you, Essence of a dream for this wonderful texture!

L’antic terme del Pi comprenia part dels actuals municipis de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès i de Sora (Osona); (s’estenia des de l’església de Sant Genís del Pi, de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès, fins al mas Casa-ramona, de Sora). Depenia al s XI de la jurisdicció del monestir de Ripoll ; perdé l’autonomia com a terme avançat el segle XVI
Quan a la parròquia de Sant Genís del Pi prop del mas Casademunt, al NE del terme el lloc pertanyia a Ripoll des d’abans del 938. Els homes del Pi gaudien d’autonomia i d’organització civil pròpia, que depenia del paborde de Palau, del monestir ripollès. Avançat el segle XVI es desféu d’aquesta organització, i part de la gent restà sotmesa a Sora i part a Sant Agustí. L’església era proveïda pel paborde de Palau, i encomanada al rector de Sant Agustí al segle XVII.
L’edifici actual fou construït al segle XVIII, i el 1878 perdé els atributs parroquials. Malgrat això, en el petit cementiri observem la construcció recent de nínxols,flors i estris de naturalesa funerària, que son clares senyals justament del manteniment d’algunes activitats especifiques i pròpies de les Parròquies.
L’Alou és un petit nucli, al N del terme, format per un carrer amb força pendent al llarg del qual es troben les cases. Just al costat oposat de la Vall que conformen juntament amb la Parròquia i el Cementiri del Pi.
It's sometimes surprising what's hiding behind a dreary winter sky. This was taken at the Black Butte Dam overlook. Visibility was limited due to the weather but I was intriqued by the position of the rock facings and the trees and decided it was worth a shot. Backlighting and layering helped bring out the colors in the sky and then I used a texture called pink spotlight from pareeerica www.flickr.com/photos/8078381@N03/ .
Meerkat at Belfast Zoo. Found this little critter lurking in the files so thought he deserved a viewing :-)
Lastnight I went to see the Golden Compass. Oh My what a fantastic movie! The Polar Bear king scenes were awesome. All the people in this world have animals as their demons ( if their demon dies they die..it holds their soul).
This was such a cool movie there is no swearing, and yes there is a little violence expecially the Polar bear King fight,,,oh it was so cool but the lead charecter Lyra rocked. What a brave little girl to take on this role her name is Dakota and she was brilliant. If you haven't seen it it is a must. The beauty of this movie never ended! Oh and I would take kids that were a little older beacuse it does get a little scary. 8 and up.Just my opinion.
So now you know what I saw last night.

En la Plaza de Armas, que fue en la época colonial el centro de la vida oficial y publica de La Habana, se alza un monumento llamado El Templete. En su columna conmemorativa hay una inscripción en latín, casi borrada, que traducimos como sigue: "Detén el paso, caminante, adorna este sitio con un árbol, una ceiba frondosa. Fue tenida por primera vez la reunión de los prudentes concejales hace ya mas de dos siglos: era conservado por una tradición perpetua: sin embargo, cedió al tiempo. La inscripción da fe de que en ese lugar hubo una ceiba y que bajo su sombra se celebro la primera misa y el Cabildo recibió la guarda y custodia de los fueros y privilegios de la villa de La Habana, según costumbre y usanza de las leyes de Castilla.

sé que vas a quererme sin respuestas".
Mario Benedetti.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Música : Eres para mi la más bella del mundo
Sabes que para todos no serás el mundo
Pero siempre habrá alguien que para él o ella seas todo su mundo,…
El centro de su universo…
Aquél o aquella que sentirás que te mima y cuida
Que te hará sentir especial y diferente….
Distinto o distinta…..único…única.
Y que te exhibirá orgulloso u orgullosa de ti ante todos...
Y , de repente…
Nos hará sentir ser el más bello centro del bouquet de su vida
Y sin necesidad de preguntas...
Sin necesidad de respuestas.…
Así nos querremos, también,...Tú y Yo.

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.
Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park, Utah at sunrise.
Jess and I spend a couple days hiking through spectacular landscape in southern Utah. We visited Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park.
The weather was extremely cold, especially when we got up at 5 to catch the sunrise; like here at Mesa Arch.
There are a ton more pictures in the works...
oh and a very happy New Year to everyone!

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.

JOYEUX HALLOWEEN AT SUPER WEEKEND (FIN DE SEMAINE) :-)
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.
parked up at the Angel awaiting fellow mad people from wfc flickr to join me for sgwd einion gam trek and the skies were awesome - so we dived back in the car Keeping within the speed limit and drove up the road to Dinas rock out i Dashed to capture a fast moving sky - throwing the tripod cover on the ground in excitment.
5 shots later i was back in the car so i would not be late .

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.

The flavor of the month seems to be "Light Trails". Recently there have been tons on "light trail" photos on Explore everyday. Here's one from my archives that I had shelved since I hadn't had chance to process it.
Canon XSi
18-55 mm @ 36mm
ISO 100
6 sec @ f/11
No HDR
This photo was taken when I did not have any filters at my disposal. I tried using a polarizer to cut out 2 stops of light, but discarded all those photos, since the street lights caused a lot of flares with the polarizer. Ideally - I would have liked to capture this a little earlier in the day which would have reduced the halo caused by the street-lights.
Here's one of my first attempts at Selective Coloring. The original image - by itself - is not so bad, but the lack of any interesting elements in the sky and the foreground makes it a little flat. I came up with this processing idea in order to cut out the clutter and minimize the effects of all the distracting elements.
View On Black or, maybe
After a kind suggestion of my dear friend Hendrik www.flickr.com/photos/hndrk/
I realised that the proper soundtrack of this image is any song of the mytical and fantastic White Album of The Beatles

die Festplatte ist voll - es ist Zeit, aufzuräumen - und da stolpere ich über alte Sachen.
The harddisk is full, so it's time to clean it up a little bit - and while doing so, I found some old stuff ...
Harddisk dolu, bu yüzden eski fotograflarin düzenliyorum ve bunu yaparken eski bir sey buldum ...

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.
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. :)

Oeschinensee near Kandersteg, Switzerland
Oeschinen Lake is a lake in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, 4 kilometres east of Kandersteg in the Oeschinen valley. At an elevation of 1,578 metres (5,177 ft), it has a surface area of 1.1147 square kilometres (0.4304 sq mi). Its maximum depth is 56 metres (184 ft).
The lake is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. The water then re-surfaces as the Oeschibach. Part of it is captured for electricity production and as water supply for Kandersteg.

The wispy seed heads of the Pasque Flower are attractive in their own right.
[...], another common name for Pasque flower (or "Pasqueflower") is "Easter flower." Pasque is the Old French spelling for "Easter," and it is around that time of year that the plant blooms, in some regions. According to Botanical.com, the famous herbalist, John Gerard, "informs us that he himself was 'moved to name' this the Pasque Flower, or Easter Flower, because of the time of its appearance, it being in bloom from April to June."

i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
