View Turning Torso Big On Black
Turning Torso is a 54 storage high apartment building. This is the highest in West Europe with 190,4 meters.
HSB Turning Torso is a skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait.[1] It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories.[2] Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia,[1] the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-metre (866 ft) high Triumph-Palace in Moscow. A similar, taller skyscraper featuring a 90° twist is the Infinity Tower, currently under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Prior to the construction of Turning Torso, the 86-metre (282 ft) high Kronprinsen had been the city's tallest building.
Turning Torso Reflection Västra Hamnen Malmö [?]
Turning Torso är en skyskrapa vid Lilla Varvsgatan i Västra Hamnen, Malmö. Byggnaden är ritad och konstruerad av arkitekten Santiago Calatrava och ägs av HSB. Turning Torso är Sveriges högsta hus.
I den första detaljplanen som gjordes för Bo01 1999 fanns ett 25-våningshus inritat på platsen för Turning Torso (med HSB som möjlig byggherre). Ledningen för mässbolaget som arrangerade Bo01 hade i detta skede kontakter med Santiago Calatrava för att denne skulle gestalta en tillfällig informationspaviljong inför mässan. Diskussioner började då föras om Calatrava skulle rita detta höghus. En skulptur som Calatrava gjort diskuterades som förebild. Uppgiften på HSB:s hemsida om Turning Torso att det var den tidigare VD:n Johnny Öhrbäck som först skulle ha kontaktat Calatrava är felaktig [1]. När Calatrava engagerade sig i uppgiften kom tornet att successivt bli högre och högre och detaljplanen fick göras om.

Si acaso piensas en mí,
te cantaré cuando el anochecer lluvioso
suelta sus sombras por el río,
arrastrando, lento, su luz vaga hacia el ocaso;
cuando lo que queda del día
es ya demasiado poco para trabajar o jugar.
Te sentarás sola en el balcón que da al Sur,
y yo me pondré a cantarteen el cuarto oscuro.
El olor de las hojas mojadas entrará por la ventana,
en el crepúsculo creciente, y los vientos tormentosos
clamorearán en los cocoteros.
Traerán la lámpara encendida al cuarto, y entonces me iré yo.
Y tú, quizá, entonces, escucharás la noche,
y oirás mi canción cuando esté yo callado.
Situada a las faldas de la Sierra, a la espalda de Alhama de Granada, a unos 2 kilómetros de la población, desde el que se puede tomar un sendero que sigue el rio Alhama por la ruta de los Tajos de Alhama, conocido como "Itinerario por los Tajos y la Presa de Alhama". O bien se puede tomar la carretera de Jatar hasta el ventorro de la Paloma donde se puede aparcar el vehículo y seguir la senda que rodea la Pantaneta, o bien utilizar el observatorio para aves que se encuentra en la zona.

Located at the foothills of the Sierra, back in Alhama de Granada, about 2 kilometers from town, from which you can take a path that follows the river Alhama by the route of the Tajos de Alhama, known as "Route Cuts by the Dam and Alhama. Or you can take the road to Jatar of the Dove tavern where you can park your vehicle and follow the path around the Pantaneto, or use the observatory for birds found in the area.
Das Zisterzienserkloster Vyšší Brod (deutsch Kloster Hohenfurth) befindet sich in der gleichnamigen Ortschaft Vyšší Brod im Bezirk Böhmisch Krumau in Tschechien. Es wurde im Jahr 1259 gegründet und ist seit 750 Jahren ein geistliches und kulturelles Zentrum Südböhmens.
Da das Kloster und auch der kleine See von einem zwei Meter hohen Gitterzaum umgeben sind, musste ich erst eine Kletterpartie wagen, um überhaupt von einer Stelle aus dieses Foto machen zu können.
The Cistercian monastery Vyšší Brod (German Hohenfurth monastery) is located in the same village in the district Vyšší Brod Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 1259 and is 750 years since a spiritual and cultural center of southern Bohemia.
Since the monastery and the small lake are surrounded of a two meter high fence, I had to climb a venture to make at all from one location this photo.

Reflection inside Beaubourg's entrance hall. A bit of an experiment, I'm not sure how it looks like but I was interested in the "double exposure" feel to it ?
Part of Silhouettes in Beaubourg
I’m going to be taking another break from Flickr. I need to put my head on straight, and this site is only distracting me from that right now. I need to start taking care of my health (which has been suffering lately) and well-being, and I need to start paying attention to school, at least until this semester is over. I'm okay, trust me, but this is just not good for me right now, if I want to keep my grades up, as well as my own personal happiness.
I know, I know I take breaks almost constantly, and I always say the same thing, but I’m going to try to stick to it right now, at least for a little while. As always, I will still be coming onto Flickr occasionally to follow your streams, but I have to stay away as much as I can right now, for various reasons. I will be back soon.
TTFN.

More Mist when viewed On Black
Soms baden je gedachten en dromen in de mist, zijn de contouren niet zo scherp en afgelijnd als je zelf willen zou.
Maar als de mist optrekt, dan vuren de ogen terug en flakkert de gezonde rebellie gedempt.
Vorig jaar organiseerden we op mijn werk een veiling van talenten en gekkigheden in het kader
van Music For Life : www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY1mqoCVVV0&feature=related
Miel bood het hoogste bedrag voor een mini-shoot en na een jaar vol mist, trokken we 2 weken geleden eindelijk, een zondagochtend voor dag en dauw ,op pad.
Toeval of niet, de Lierse polder verstilde in dichte mist, en waar de Grote en Kleine Nete samenvloeien schitterde er die ochtend geen zilveren knoop*, maar vonkten ogen vol vastberadenheid.

What:
Part 3 of the Peggy's Cove tour, Finally!!
When:
Just as the sun was setting last Sunday evening. About 5 minutes before the last shot I posted.
Where:
Peggy's Cove
Nova Scotia, Canada
About:
So, continuing from part 2... this was taken from exactly the same spot on the dock in PC but I turned about 45 degrees to right. So if I can manage to stitch these three shots together I shot be able to get over 180 degree view of the cove. I don't really have any shots looking behind where I am here but it certainly isn't as picturesque as these three views. To get another angle or perspective of where I am here, check out this photo from last week where I put a note right on this dock. It was shot from the road down at the end of the cove. You can see the little dory there if you look really close.
Processing:
This was shot with the normal 3 frames bracketed (0,-2,+2ev) and I manually blended the exposures in photoshop so I could get the proper sky combined with the proper foreground exposures. I did a layer of curves and a little tweak of the shadows/highlights. After resizing and posting I can see it's over saturated but what the hell, it's meant to look like a postcard! :-)
Please, no invites or crazy glittery graphics. Just a comment is nice. Thank You

This is Pol, aka..Goliath !...He is a giant of a man, while i was sat on a bench having an in depth chat about life, and his role in it , when i suddenly realized that i knew him many years ago.
Back in his heyday he was a bouncer on the doors of many an establishment i frequented..many Bristol locals would remember him from the Thekla, late eighties early nineties, as the dominating figure on the door.
He then went on to explain that he was also head of security at many famous Festivals like Glastonbury,Reading, Leeds etc etc...But !, because of the nature of clubs and festivals he ended up an alcoholic, drinking maybe thirty cans of strong larger a day !.
so much of his time is spent sitting around on streets drinking allday.. however he does have a house, and a big house in the most sortafter part of Bristol, yet he spends most of his time on the streets.
during our conversation he mentioned that he had enough of life atleast three times, this had me worried..so i said i would pass by and sit with him for a chat xmas eve.
I know i was fueling his addiction but i bought him a couple of beers to say thanks for the photos, this put a beaming smile on his face, RESPECT he said !
as i was leaving he called me back, he offered to repay my gift of beer with some old photography books he had.. i didn't want to take his books but i saw it as a chance to see him more over the lonely xmas period, if only to make sure he is well and happy..
he is the most gental of giants with an honest heart, and most of all he is my new friend. merry xmas all
This is for anna - aka pannaphotos: btw - I meant "festa", non "testa"!!! ;-D (thank you!)
Colours and from my last trip to Caboverde - the sky and the light is so brilliant there - a true joy to my eyes! Have the best day :-)

More Part 1, .......... More Part 2,........ More Part 3
♪♫♥♪Don'T You Worry About A Thing♫♥♪
Sono stata taggata da mari4ever... ho aspettato il mio compleanno per presentarmi...........
# 1 - Il mio nome è Agnese Eva, compio oggi 44 anni. Chi mi conosce mi definisce un vulcano… ma so essere anche molto pigra e tranquilla! sono MAMMA di tre (3) splendidi figli che adoro e ammiro per la forza e il sostegno che mi donano giornalmente… Andrea(22), Michele(19) e Martina(18)
# 2 - Sono un persona molto attiva, creativa, curiosa e appassionata di arte e pittura espressa sotto ogni forma.
# 3 - Amo sorridere, specialmente con i miei occhi e... perchè no, far sorridere. Amo conquistare le persone con un sorriso o una parola dettata dal mio cuore. Sono una persona molto sensibile che si emoziona per le piccole cose così come amo poter emozionare chi ho vicino.
# 4 - Amo viaggiare, scoprire, giocare, assaporare i silenzi di un luogo e soffermarmi a riflettere tra le mie elucubrazioni mentali.
# 5 - Non amo correre per sport, l’ho fatto per troppi anni, ma la mia giornata è una corsa frenetica che comincia alle 4.30 della mattina, lavoro in albergo! in compenso, amo immensamente la mountain bike, la moto e camminare; adoro la competizione ma nel pieno rispetto della correttezza.
# 6 - Amo la gente...le differenze...il movimento e l'energia delle cose, i colori, le linee.. la luce e la natura! Adoro l’acqua, il sole, la luna e il mare in tutte le stagioni.. questa estate ho potuto ritrovare il mio spirito di pesce :-)
# 7 - Odio i silenzi imposti, i tradimenti , l'indifferenza, la polemica, le invidie e il parlare alle spalle, essere triste, odio piangere e lo stato d’animo che si vive in quei momenti, odio e soffro non poter coinvolgere chi ho vicino per chiedere un aiuto. Sono sincera e schietta.... a volte una verità può far male ma due possono aiutare a migliorarsi.
# 8 - Amo immensamente la fotografia, vivo pienamente i miei scatti! grazie alla fotografia ho scoperto me stessa e moltissimi amici con cui condividere questa passione... colgo l'occasione per ringraziare tutti.... col cuore in mano! ho scoperto di avere amici in tutto il mondo.... ed è bellissimo!
# 9 - Non rinuncio a un bicchiere di buon vino specialmente se in compagnia, adoro i primi piatti, i dolci e tutto ciò che è tradizione e adoro essere svegliata con il caffè!
#10 - Sono perdutamente innamorata della vita e non solo… anche se questo genere di passioni mi ha sempre obbligata a rimettermi in discussione o semplicemente sciogliermi per un incontro inaspettato!!! vorrei poter far battere nuovamente il mio cuore.... non è facile, è più facile perdersi che ritrovarsi in due. Ma, se sorrido io, presto sorriderà anche il mio cuore... non ho fretta, nel frattempo assaporo il mondo intorno a me.
a grande richiesta aggiungo che sono puntigliosa, fin troppo precisina (specialmente sul lavoro), a volte parlo troppo, per alcune cose sono drastica per altre lascio correre quando magari sarebbe meglio gestire in modo determinato la situazione, ho il difetto di perdonare e questo non me lo perdonerò mai!
sono un libro aperto....... se ho qualcosa che non va riuscite a capirlo da soli, se sono felice sorride anche la mia pelle!
buona luce a tutti... e grazie ;-)
So today was my second day in Edinburgh, still getting used to this whole driving on the left side rule. Quite odd to get used too especially when you see little old ladies driving down the street and you think to yourself "NOBODIES DRIVING THAT CAR!!!" But I do have to say the round-abouts are quite nice keeps traffic moving and they are a bit fun to drive around.
So this is the window in my room and I was thinking it would be a great location for a photo. I almost used it last night but then decided I wanted some daylight for it. So I took this!
Tomorrow we head up to Loch Ness and I sure hope the Loch Ness Monster makes an appearance cause it would be quite swell to take a photo of it. Maybe even hop in and take my 365 with it! haha.
Anyhow hope your doing well or whomever read this far! :)
ci si dà sempre le spalle, negli addii.
così come nei salutisemplici, quelli da ciao ciao arrivederci
le spalle mi significano una distanza che intercorre fra chi fino a giusto poco prima, solo poco prima, era comunanza di sguardo, allontanando un faccia a faccia.
ci sono le spalle curve, stabilizzate da anni di avversione per l'equilibrio
(l'equilibrio invecchia, dice la mente di qualcuno)
e ci sono quelle che stanno diritte, ma leggermente protese in avanti, verso il passo dell'andar via.
quando una schiena decide di farsi presente, cambiano le strade degli occhi.
e si comincia, poi, a guardare da un'altra parte:
ché il tramonto ritira la luce, sì, ma lascia i colori morbidi delle ombre, tutti orizzonte e prospettive.

La Mare de Déu del Lledó és la Patrona de Castelló de la Plana.
El nom Lledó prové de la traducció al valencià del nom almez, que és l'arbre sota el qual es va trobar la petita figura que avui és venerada com a Mare de Déu del Lledó.
Segons la llegenda, un agricultor, anomenat Perot de Granyana, va trobar la imatge mentre llaurava les seves terres. Perot duia l'arada conduïda per dos bous que, a l'acostar-se a l'arbre, van deixar de llaurar i es postraren sota aquest. Perot no va fer cas dels bous i els va aixecar, però estos van tornar a postrar-se davant l'arbre. Perot, estranyat, es va posar a buscar els motius, va furgar i va trobar una petita figureta de la Mare de Déu.
Perot va dur la figura a la ciutat per a ensenyar-la a les autoritats. Però com era ja tard, la figura hauria de passar la nit a casa de Perot. Al matí, quan aquest anava a ensenyar la imatge a les autoritats, es va trobar amb que la figura no es trobava en la seva casa. Va anar a buscar-la a l'hort, i la va trobar en la mateixa posició que la primera vegada. Va insistir i la hi va tornar a dur a la ciutat.
Al matí següent va tornar a desaparèixer. El Consell va prendre per boig a Perot, però el va seguir fins a l'hort. Allí es van trobar la figura envoltada d'àngels. Davant aquest miracle, el Consell Municipal va decidir edificar en el lloc de la troballa una petita ermita gòtica.
ESP:
La Virgen del Lledó (en valenciano Mare de Déu del Lledó, y traducción cercana al castellano como Virgen del Lidón) es la Patrona de Castelló de la Plana.
El nombre Lledó proviene de la traducción al valenciano del nombre almez, que es el árbol bajo el cual se encontró la pequeña figura que hoy es venerada como Virgen del Lledó. El nombre Lidón no es una traducción correcta, pues debería ser Virgen del Almez.
Cuenta la leyenda que un agricultor, llamado Perot de Granyana, encontró la imagen mientras labraba sus tierras.
Perot llevaba el arado conducido por dos bueyes que, al acercarse al árbol, dejaron de labrar y se postraron bajo éste. Perot no hizo caso de los bueyes y los levantó, pero éstos volvieron a postrarse ante el árbol. Perot, extrañado, se puso a buscar los motivos de la parada, escarbó y encontró una pequeña figurilla de la Virgen María.
Perot llevó la figura a la ciudad para enseñarla a las autoridades. Pero como era ya tarde, la figura debería pasar la noche en casa de Perot. Por la mañana, cuando éste iba a enseñar la imagen a las autoridades, se encontró con que la figura no se encontraba en su casa. Fue a buscarla al huerto, y la encontró en la misma posición que la primera vez. Insistió y se la volvió a llevar a la ciudad.
A la mañana siguiente volvió a desaparecer. El Consejo tomó por loco a Perot, pero le siguió hasta el huerto. Allí se encontraron la figura rodeada de ángeles. Ante este milagro, el Consejo Municipal decidió edificar en el lugar de la troballa una pequeña ermita gótica.
El monasterio benedictino de Ripoll fue fundado por el conde Guifré el Pilós en el año 879. El 20 de abril del año 888 el monasterio de Ripoll fue solemnemente consagrado y dedicado a Santa María.
La creciente importancia del monasterio de Ripoll como centro cultural, con biblioteca,scriptorium y escuela monástica medieval, motivó sucesivas ampliaciones del edificio, siendo la efectuada por el abad Oliba (1008-1046) la que conformaría sus formas definitivas : 60 por 40 metros en un edificio petreo de formas austeras y macizas, de cinco naves, con un cuerpo de edificio delantero encima del cual se levantaron dos torres de campanarios y en la parte posterior un grandioso transepto coronado por un ábside central y tres absidiolos a cada lado.
El templo ha sufrido diversas restauraciones. En especial la realizada tras el terremoto de 1428 y la de 1830 que redujo a tres las cinco naves originales.Las dimensiones de la nave principal son las originales : 60 m. de largo por 9 de ancho. En el crucero y en los muros de la nave central se hallan las tumbas de muchos delos condes de Besalú y Barcelona como Guifré el Pelós, Ramon Berenguer III y IV.
La obra principal del monasterio y de la escultura románica de Catalunya, es la portada del siglo XII. Se divide en siete franjas horizontales donde se representan escenas bíblicas, históricas y alegóricas. La rica iconografía combina los grupos temáticos entre motivos florales de gran exuberancia y ornamentaciones de líneas geométricas, sin ningún lugar en que el cincel no se haya dejado sentir.A ambos lados del portal están las imágenes mutiladas de San Pedro y San Pablo.
El claustro del templo consta de dos pisos. Fué iniciado en siglo XII, quedando paralizada la construcción hasta fines del siglo XIV. La galería superior quedó completada en el siglo XVI. Tiene forma trapezoidal y consta de 112 arcos semicirculares y 252 columnas de capiteles esculpidos con motivos religiosos, mitológicos y populares.

The Benedictine monastery of Ripoll was founded by the Count Guifré Pilos in the year 879. On April 20 the year 888 the monastery of Ripoll was solemnly consecrated and dedicated to Santa Maria.
The growing importance of the monastery of Ripoll and cultural center, library, medieval monastic scriptorium, and school, motivated successive enlargements of the building being completed by Abbot Oliba (1008-1046) to settle its final form: 60 by 40 meters in building stone of an austere and solid forms of five ships, with a body above the front building was erected two towers and steeples on the back a great transept topped by a central apse apsidioles and three on each side.
The temple has undergone several restorations. Especially the one made after the earthquake of 1428 and 1830 it dropped to five ships originales.Las the three dimensions of the nave are the original: 60 m. long by 9 wide. In the cruise and on the walls of the nave are the tombs of many counts of Besalú models and the Pelós Guifré Barcelona, Ramon Berenguer III and IV.
The main work of the monastery and the Romanesque sculpture of Catalunya, is the cover of the twelfth century. It is divided into seven horizontal bands which represent biblical scenes, allegorical and historical. The rich iconography combines clusters between floral ornaments of great exuberance and geometric lines, with no place where the chisel has not stopped both sides of the portal sentir.A are images of mutilated San Pedro and San Pablo.
The cloister of the temple consists of two floors. It was begun in the twelfth century, was paralyzed construction until the end of the fourteenth century. The upper gallery was completed in the sixteenth century. Have trapezoidal shape and consists of 112 semicircular arches and 252 columns capitals carved with religious, mythological and popular.
This is a fleshy perennial which grows on coastal cliffs and rocks ! The pale pink 5-petalled flower (8 - 12mm across) differs from other Sea spurreys in that it doesn't have a white centre ! The fact that the flowers have equal size petals and sepals also helps to differentiate this wildflower ! Each flower has 10 stamens, the narrow, flattened leaves have fine points and the plant, which blooms from June to September, reaches about 20cm high ! It is one of the native plants of Ireland and it belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family !

Having purchased a wild flower book late last year, I was attracted to it being sectioned by colour, I decided to give it a go and found this little gem ! As part of I.D. clarification I found an interesting site from which I took the above info' and have E-mailed, providing my flickr account link, hoping that I' m right ~

El conjunto religioso que forman el Templo y el Convento de la Purísima Concepción, representa uno de los logros más importantes de la población que habitó la entonces villa de San Miguel el Grande (hoy de Allende) hacia el siglo XVIII.
El Convento Real de la Purísima Concepción, fue construido por iniciativa de María Josefa Lina de la Canal y Hervas (1736 – 1770).
A la muerte de sus padres, María Josefa Lina de la Canal heredó un capital de 70 000 pesos. Hacia 1751 con escasos quince años de edad, dio a conocer sus deseos de ser religiosa.
Fue el padre Luís Felipe Neri de Alfaro el primero en conocer los deseos de María Josefa, a quien el mismo recomendó trasladarse al santuario de Atotonilco, para que con el amparo de la oración y de la penitencia definiera sus pensamientos. Tras ocho días de encierro, reiteraba no sólo su decisión por tomar los hábitos, sino también de fundar un convento en la villa de San Miguel el Grande dedicado con profundo fervor a la inmaculada Concepción, empleando el capital que le había heredado su padre.
El 21 de Septiembre de 1754 el rey Fernando VI emitió en España la licencia para la edificación del recinto.
Desde los primeros momentos de la fundación del convento hasta la inauguración del nuevo edificio, Maria Josefa de la Canal trabajó para sostener económica y espiritualmente el proyecto que ella misma había ideado.
Murió cinco años después de que se inaugurara el convento de la Concepción (el 9 de agosto de 1770).
La construcción del Templo y Convento de la Purísima Concepción fue encomendada a un arquitecto queretano, Francisco Martínez Gudiño.
Gudiño fue auxiliado con el trabajo de tres artistas originarios de San Miguel: Pedro Joaquín de Tapia y Salvador Antonio Hernández, experimentados alarifes y maestros de arquitectura, así también contó con la asesoría de Francisco de Lara Villagomez.
La construcción del recito comenzó en 1755 y diez años después (el 28 de diciembre de 1765) se inauguró con el traslado de religiosas al nuevo edificio. El templo se encontraba aún inconcluso, le faltaban las torres, campanario presbiterio y altares, mismos que se concluyeron durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX.
La cúpula era otra de las grandes ausencias en el templo. Fue obra del maestro albañil Zeferino Gutiérrez (quien construyó también la fachada pseudo gótica del templo parroquial) inspirándose en la iglesia monumental de los Inválidos del París, y, asesorado por un gran artista mexicano conocido popularmente como el Dr. Atl.
El Templo de la Concepción posee una valiosa colección pictórica, obra de renombrados pintores novo hispanos del siglo XVIII; sólo por mencionar, dos retratos de la Virgen María y Jesús, del pintor Miguel Cabrera; una serie de la vida de la Virgen del pincel de Juan Rodríguez Juárez; un Corazón de Jesús del pintor Jesús Gómez, que data de 1820 y algunas obras de Miguel Antonio Martínez de Pocasangre.
El despoblat de Santa Creu de Rodes es troba situat prop del monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes, al municipi de Port de la Selva (Alt Empordà). Es tracta d'un nucli de població abandonat i que es troba en ruïna. D'aquest lloc es tenen notícies gràcies a la seva església parroquial de Santa Helena de Rodes, de la que es tenen notícies des del 974. El pogressiu abandó degué començar degut al greu episodi de pesta negra que es va patir el 1345 i que també va afectar el monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes. Tradicionalment s'admet que ja al segle XIII va patir un important despoblament arran de la participació d'una bona part de la població en la conquesta de Mallorca, s'hi van quedar. El 1572 l'església de Santa Creu de Rodes (que ja en aquella època havia canviat el com pel de Santa Helena) va perdre la condició de parroquial, el que indica que el lloc havia d'estar pràcticament deshabitat. A més de la coneguda església de Santa Creu de Rodes, que és l'únic edifici que es conserva en relatiu bon estat, l'interès del lloc rau en el fet que era tancat per un mur, del que encara es conserven alguns vestigis, sobretot pel que fa a dos portals: el de tramuntana i el de migdia. La resta de construccions es limita a murs de pedra entre la vegetació.
El despoblado de Santa Cruz de Rodas se encuentra situado cerca del monasterio de Sant Pere de Rodes, en el municipio de Port de la Selva (Alt Empordà). Se trata de un núcleo de población abandonado y que se encuentra en ruina. De este lugar se tienen noticias gracias a su iglesia parroquial de Santa Helena de Rodes, de la que se tienen noticias desde el 974. El pogressiu abandono debió comenzar debido al grave episodio de peste negra que se sufrió en 1345 y que también afectó al monasterio de Sant Pere de Rodes. Tradicionalmente se admite que ya en el siglo XIII sufrió un importante despoblamiento raíz de la participación de una buena parte de la población en la conquista de Mallorca, se quedaron. En 1572 la iglesia de Santa Creu de Rodes (que ya en aquella época había cambiado como por el de Santa Elena) perdió la condición de parroquial, lo que indica que el lugar debía estar prácticamente deshabitado. Además de la conocida iglesia de Santa Creu de Rodes, que es el único edificio que se conserva en relativo buen estado, el interés del lugar radica en que estaba cerrado por un muro, del que aún se conservan algunos vestigios, sobre todo en dos portales: el de tramontana y el de mediodía. El resto de construcciones se limita a muros de piedra entre la vegetación.
The deserted Santa Cruz de Wheels is located near the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes in the municipality of Puerto de la Selva (Alt Empordà). This is a core population that is abandoned and in ruins. On this site you will have news thanks to his parish church of St. Helen Rhodes, from which 974 are from the news. The start was probably due to neglect pogressiu severe episode of Black Death that was implemented in 1345 and also affected the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. Traditionally supported already in the thirteenth century it suffered a major depopulation following the participation of a large proportion of the population in the conquest of Majorca, they were. In 1572 the church of Santa Croce in Rhodes (already at that time had changed as the Santa Helena) lost its parish status, which indicates that the site had to be practically deserted. In addition to the famous church of Santa Croce in Rhodes, which is the only building that remains in relatively good condition, the interest of the site lies in the fact that it was enclosed by walls, which still kept some traces, particularly with regard to two sites: the north wind and midday. The remaining buildings are limited to stone walls between the vegetation.

Hagia Sophia (from the Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the Greek Patriarchal cathedral of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople of the Western Crusader established Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.[1]
The Church was dedicated to the Logos, the second person of the Holy Trinity,[2] its dedication feast taking place on 25 December, the anniversary of the Birth of the incarnation of the Logos in Christ.[2] Although it is sometimes referred to as Sancta Sophia (as though it were named after Saint Sophia), sophia is the phonetic spelling in Latin of the Greek word for wisdom – the full name in Greek being Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, "Church of the Holy Wisdom of God".[3][4]
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture."[5] It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.[6]
The church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 49 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years. It is the church in which Cardinal Humbert in 1054 excommunicated Michael I Cerularius – which is commonly considered the start of the Great Schism.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque.[7] The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features – such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets – were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque until 1931 when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many other Ottoman mosques, such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque.

Today was the worst weather of the winter, and we were walking into the wind and it was COLD. My little Californian cried a little into her 17 layers!
But then we went to replace my holey boots and found some sexy pink-trimmed combats. It's totally cool to match the person you're hopping on.....right? (You can't really tell how awesome our boots are in my shots, but Xelia's shot really shows their glory).
We finally set aside the time to do official photo shoots. The problem was that I like our shots too much. It took me Hours to choose which shot to use!
Lake Pichola, situated in Udaipur city in the Indian state of Rajasthan, is an artificial fresh water lake, created in the year 1362 AD, named after the nearby Picholi village.It is one of the several contiguous lakes, and developed over the last few centuries in and around the famous Udaipur city. The lakes around Udaipur were primarily created by building dams to meet the drinking water and irrigation needs of the city and its neighborhood. Two islands, Jag Niwas and Jag Mandir are located within Pichola Lake, and have been developed with several palaces to provide views of the lake.
Three of the numerous lakes found in the vicinity of Udaipur which connect with the Pichola lake built by Maharana Dharma Chand Pichholiya and the Saroop Sagar Lake connected by an arched bridge built by Maharana Swaroop Singh (1842-1861) which in turn connects to the Fateh Sagar Lake, the crystal watered lake in the midst of tree lined hills and the smaller Arsi vilas.

Tanah Lot is one of the main temples in Bali located on a rock formation at the west coast of Bali. Its one of the most conservative temples and tourists are not allowed to get near it.
Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah Lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. Fortunately or unfortunately during the lovely sunset it was again interrupted by ominous clouds!!
Dramatic effect in the shot was created by tonemapping single RAW image in Dynamic Photo and finishing touch was provided in Photoshop.
Trivia
Myth says there are still poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to guard the temple and contribute to the temple's dangerous reputation.

Hare ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
"Jackrabbit", "Lepus", and "Leveret" For other uses, see Hare (disambiguation), Jackrabbit (disambiguation), Lepus (disambiguation) and Leveret (disambiguation).
Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. Hares are classified into the same family as rabbits and are of similar size, form, and diet as rabbits. They are generally herbivorous, long-eared, and fast runners, and typically live solitarily or in pairs. Hare species are native to Africa, Eurasia, North America, and the Japanese archipelago.
Five leporid species with "hare" in their common names are not considered true hares: the hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus), and four species known as red rock hares (comprising Pronolagus). Meanwhile, jackrabbits are hares rather than rabbits.
A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. The collective noun for a group of hares is a "drove"
Biology ~ Hares are swift animals: The European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) can run up to 56 km/h (35 mph). The five species of jackrabbit found in central and western North America are able to run at 64 km/h (40 mph), and can leap up to 3m (ten feet) at a time.
Normally a shy animal, the European brown hare changes its behavior in spring, when hares can be seen in daytime chasing one another; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females). During this spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one hare striking another with its paws (probably the origin of the term "mad as a March hare"). For a long time, this had been thought to be intermale competition, but closer observation has revealed it is usually a female hitting a male to prevent copulation.
Differences from rabbits ~ Hares do not bear their young below ground in a burrow as do other leporids, but rather in a shallow depression or flattened nest of grass called a form. Young hares are adapted to the lack of physical protection, relative to that afforded by a burrow, by being born fully furred and with eyes open. They are hence precocial, and are able to fend for themselves soon after birth. By contrast, the related rabbits and cottontail rabbits are altricial, having young that are born blind and hairless.
All rabbits (except the cottontail rabbits) live underground in burrows or warrens, while hares (and cottontail rabbits) live in simple nests above the ground, and usually do not live in groups. Hares are generally larger than rabbits, with longer ears, and have black markings on their fur. Hares have not been domesticated, while rabbits are kept as house pets. The domestic pet known as the "Belgian hare" is a rabbit that has been selectively bred to resemble a hare.
Hares have jointed, or kinetic, skulls, unique among mammals. They have 48 chromosomes while rabbits have 44.
Went for a short walk today (too cold to be long...) in Heiðmörk. The sun was trying to come up over the forest, and yes, it finally did, at about 12.50. Now there´s so few hours of sunlight here in Iceland, always dark. Snow really would make it easier! :O) And thanks, guys, for all the "snow offers" I´ve got! You are great!

Só uma coisa incomodava Domingos enquanto pescava nas águas da Baía de Guanabara - o sol na cabeça. Um dia, tomando uma cerveja na praia com seus amigos na sombra de uma amendoeira, teve a ideia de plantar uma árvore no barquinho dele. Seus amigos riram. Quem tinha ouvido falar de uma árvore num barco? Ele os ignorou e, no fim da tarde, deixou um semente no fundo do barco. A água da baía entrava lentamente por fendas e as gaivotas que pousavam deixaram fertilizante. Aos poucos as raízes da árvore se juntaram com a madeira do barco e, dois anos depois, enquanto seus amigos torravam no sol, Domingos deitava em baixo da sombra da árvore esperando os peixes morderem as iscas.
Inspirado por fernando [pixelstains] estou revisitando algumas fotos antigas.

Domingos the fisherman never liked the heat of the sun while he fished in the waters of Guanabara Bay. One day, while having a beer with his friends on the beach under the shade of one of the almond trees, he came up with the idea of planting a tree in his boat. His friends laughed. Who had ever heard of a tree in a fishing boat? But Domingos ignored them and, at the end of the day, left a seed in the bottom of the boat. The water of the bay leaked in slowly through cracks in the boat, and the seagulls that regularly perched on the side provided fertiliser. Little by little the roots joined with the wood of the boat.Two years later, while his friends roasted in the midday sun, Domingos lay in the shade of his tree while waiting for the fish to bite.
Inspired by fernando [pixelstains] I'm going back to some old photos.

From Wikipedia:
Southbank was formerly an industrial area and part of South Melbourne. It was transformed into a densely populated district of high rise apartment and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s as part of an urban renewal program. Though few buildings built before this time have been spared redevelopment, Southbank does retain some significant heritage including many buildings in the major cultural precinct at the St Kilda Road end and some warehouses and wharves towards the area now known as "South Wharf".
The central feature of Southbank is Southgate Arts and Leisure Precinct, a retail, eating, and entertainment precinct on the southern bank of the Yarra River. Southgate features the iconic sculpture Ophelia by Deborah Halpern, which is the big Y symbol (representing Melbourne) that stands at Bear Brass cafe. The entertainment precinct extends along the Yarra and includes Crown Casino. The suburb also includes an office precinct and a hi-density residential precinct which has many skyscrapers, the tallest of which is the Eureka Tower. The Queensbridge Precinct includes Queensbridge Square, a pedestrian plaza and meeting place.

El Arco de la Sangre, construido en el siglo X en la dominación árabe, era probablemente el único espacio abierto que existía en la muralla interior en esta época islámica, la cual se extendía desde el Alcázar en bajada hacia la plaza de Zocodover, rodeando la ciudad hasta terminar otra vez en el Alcázar.
La puerta está formada por un arco de herradura, único vestigio de época árabe que se conserva en la plaza después de 1936. Sobre el arco hay un oratorio que data de esta época musulmana y que se ha mantenido cristianizado, desde el siglo XII.
Su inquietante nombre actual se debe a que este oratorio, convertido en capilla era sede de la cofradía de la Preciosa Sangre de Cristo, fundada en tiempos de Sancho III, que atendía a los que iban a ser ajusticiados.
Por orden de Enrique IV de Castilla, desde el siglo XV en esta capilla se celebraba misa para que pudiesen oírla los vendedores de productos en el “Martes”, mercado que instauró el mismo monarca.
En época de la II República se podía ver sobre el arco la inscripción “Plaza de la Constitución” que durante unos años sustituyó al nombre oficial de Plaza de Zocodover. En 1936 el Arco de la Sangre se convirtió en uno de los héroes arquitectónicos de la Guerra Civil española al resistir en pie milagrosamente rodeado de un mar de destrucción, siendo restaurado en 1945.
Actualmente, la puerta da acceso a la Plaza de Zocodover desde la calle de Miguel de Cervantes. En el año 2005, coincidiendo con el IV centenario de la publicación de El Quijote, se instaló en este lugar una estatua del universal escritor, obra de Óscar Alvariño Belinchón.

No poder esperar
no querer hacerlo
pero aún así hallarnos a la mitad de todo,
en las palabras de los que no nos entienden,
y que nunca entenderán... (pobrecitos)
El miedo que tengo a de pronto un día,
ser capaz de hablar sin mentiras. .. - te imaginas???!!! -
A no poder ya construir laberintos,
torres babélicas en las que encerrarte a dormitar.
y guardarte así en mi interior
ya tengo tu barca y tu pasaje
para hacerte vivir allí dentro,
hasta que la muerte nos lleve a ambos..
o almenos, solamente a mí.
܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇܇
Not to be able to wait
neither want to do it
but even so, find ourselves halfway everything,
in the words of those who don't understand us,
and that will never do... (poor ones)
The fear that I have, that suddenly one day
be able to speak without lies. .. - could you imagine??!!! -
and not to be able to build labyrinths anymore,
babylonyan towers to jail you to doze.
so, keep you this way inside of me
I already have your boat and your ticket
to make you live there inside,
until the death takes both of us..
or at least, just me.

Listening Crepuscolaria - Otto Ohm
Mi chiedo cosa lascerà
l’estate dopo il suo rumore
dopo un’attesa così lunga per raggiungerla
non sembra mai così speciale
Ti chiamerò solo se chiamerai
e ci sarò solo se ci sarai
Crepuscolari come le illusioni
svanito il giorno solo cattivi pensieri
il ricordo di un’estate che si arena sulla spiaggia
come collanine rotte sulla sabbia
rivivere il ritorno come cambiamento
la partenza come senza ritorno
alla fine dell’estate ti rimane dentro
il sapore delle libertà che in fondo hai scelto
D’estate non c’è tempo per la solitudine
la lasci a casa insieme a tutte le bollette
nelle giornate che trascorri sotto il sole puoi
dimenticare tutte quante le promesse fatte
Ci sarò solo se ci sarai
ti chiamerò solo se chiamerai
Crepuscolari come le illusioni
svanito il giorno solo cattivi pensieri
il ricordo di un’estate che si arena sulla spiaggia
come collanine rotte sulla sabbia
rivivere il ritorno come cambiamento
la partenza come senza ritorno
alla fine dell’estate ti rimane dentro
il sapore delle libertà che in fondo hai scelto
Ti chiamerò solo se chiamerai
e ci sarò solo se ci sarai
Crepuscolari come le illusioni
svanito il giorno solo cattivi pensieri
il ricordo di un’estate che si arena sulla spiaggia
come collanine rotte sulla sabbia
rivivere il ritorno come cambiamento
la partenza come senza ritorno
alla fine dell’estate ti rimane dentro
il sapore delle libertà che in fondo hai scelto
for my new favorite group ever: Musically Challenged.
i loved taking the photo prior to this. actually grabbing inspiration from a specific song, singling out a lyric or two, and then creating an image to be paired with it.
this photo, though, was not intended for any song. this image is one of my favorite ones from Seattle. it's in Pike Place Market. this gorgeous, sloped, cobblestone street that leads down to an even more interesting alley.
so i selected a song amidst the ten to choose from per week and matched the song to the photo. not as gratifying, but i miss this little cobblestone street, dammit!
"The Sound of Silence", by Simon and Garfunkel
__________________________
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
