This is a fairly often photographed house on the outskirts of Chipping Campden, in the Cotswolds. The boxwood hedges seem to be over 100 years old. It looks like the owners had just finished pouring several hundred thousand Pounds on its restoration when we walked past it in July.
We took a few quick pictures under poor lighting conditions when we were in this quintessential Cotswolds town for an hour or so in July. They do not begin to do justice to this beautiful place but I'm putting them up as a brief introduction to the charms of the place. For a better representation of Chipping Campden, see other sites on Flickr such as:

"I knew when i awoke"... love that quote in this pic, don't know why, maybe it's because of the lying hand.
Yesterday on Starbucks, I love that place...
I went there to study with some friends.. as you may guess, no study at all, I spent all the time shooting everyone and everything.. crazy!
And I love that White Mocha Coffe!
Wish me luck to my spanish exam tomorrow...
Have a nice day.
December 13th,2009(sooc and in comments too)ON BLACK
wow does the quality of this picture look amazing or what? i think soo. anyways. I've come to this conclusion..i loathe the action of assuming. I don't like it when i do it, or when anyone does it. It never makes anything better, so why do it. People that think to much, tend to assume a lot, hehe that's an assumption because i'm sure not everyone who thinks a lot assumes. I really wish that action wasn't possible. I mean you never know what someone is thinking, so you really can't assume.
So today was chill. I made strawberry pancakes(i cut up real strawberries and put them in the batter yum) for lunch.. but extreme,haha, EPIC FAIL. you know why? i put wayyyyy to much baking powder. instead of 3 TEASPOONS i put 3 TABLESPOONS ahaha so my pancakes were uber big and puffy(pictures in comments). It's funny i've made pancakes from scratch and i've never done that, i was so hungry i didn't read the recipe ahah. also wheat flour tastes sooo different then white flour, and cane sugar tastes sooo different then ruglar sugar as well. It's probably because they are both healthier and in their natural state. the pancakes tasted soo cinnamony to me..though there was no cinnamon in them. I was getting a bit flustered and annoyed, and cooking never makes me angry or flustered, i'm quite patient with it. haha. so that was fun. My dad made and yummy spaghetti dinner, though i took out the meat in the meat sauce...they were making fun of me for that. jonel texted/called me. hehe my hibernating baby. so cute. we talked from 5:30pm-almost 8pm:D he is the greatest guy on the planet. the best, funniest, most understanding, great listener, sweet, unique, random, guy i've ever met. he's so laid back, down to earth, and chill..then at times crazy, wild and silly. he's also extremely beautiful, he's so accepting of me and i'm so crazy and silly and hyper on the phone, from lack of talking to him i get all hyper and crazy. it could just be because as the days pass by more and more i'm falling deeper in love with him. he's got me in a spell i sware. i was joking with him telling him"what if i moved back to florida?" *jonel's voice gets all excited*"are you going to?!!" "hehe do you want me too?" *jonel even more anticipated and excited then before*" are you going to?" haha him and adela really really want me to move back. Even though i miss florida like crazy, i don't want to move back, yet. Maybe in two years. idk i love california. though i miss my home even more. it's crazy when you live somewhere, you don't always appreciate it and what it has to offer but then when you move away, you see what it had, and you wish you appreciated it more. I miss florida a lot. It was my home for the past 8 years, and soooo much happened in that little time. My whole life went upside down then back up again in 8 years. It was incredible. though things happened that i didn't like..i will probably always call florida my home..more than chicago..maybe because i only spent a 11 years of my life in chicago and in those 11 years, i really can't remember much. The memories i do remember are vague, yet wonderful. I loved chicago but florida is more of my home now, it's more me. Chicago has changed a lot since i was there, and i don't like what it has become..regardless of no snow in florida i don't think i will ever go back to chicago. AHAH i so got off topic. Ah well. i'm sure you don't want to hear about jonel anyways. ok well i love you life, and jonel, and ee everything. i need to go make my lunch because i'm getting up at 5:45am(eep) to open tomorrow and i work until 3pm. how fun diddy fun. hope jonel passes his test tomorrow. hope everyone had a fun sunday. i know i did. and i love all you flickr friends. you say such nice things to me

Yepeee....I won in the coveted Sinulog photo contest! I never expected it considering I'm a newbie against so many good photographers around (600+) and over 7,000 entries! My year is up for a good start...I'm super elated!
Over a hundred ships and boats joined this year annual fluvial parade in honor the the Sto. Nino (Child Jesus). Its was my second time to witness such event the first time when I was just 5 years old. This time I had my camera in tow together with hundreds of photographers. I was a spectacle to see as well as enjoyable as I've met many fellow photographers from all over the world.
The fluvial procession is a reenactment of the coming of Magellan to the old Cebu Village, in particular his landing at the old beach which is now the heart of the city. Over 440 years ago, the Spaniards led by Magellan landed in the Cebu village of Rajah Humabon on April17, 1521. On the shore he planted he planted a cross which is said to be extant up to his time. Today, the city’s busiest street thoroughfare, Magallanes, is found where the cross is still preserved and now venerated as a relic. This historical chapter, Magellan’s coming, is reenacted as the advent of the new faith (www.sinulog.ph).

Location
This image was taken at Opemican , one of my favorite places to visit that is close by. For more details about Opemican, see this photo. This image was taken with my buddy Martin who should post his version soon.
Technical
This is my second attempt at star trails. This image is a 31 minute exposure while the light painting of the house as done on another exposure which was blended. So what do you do for 31 minutes in the dark while this exposure is being recorded? Easy - Since this Ghost town is on the lakefront of Lake Temiscaming, you head out to sit on the dock to gaze at the stars and mostly think about the fact that this place is Haunted! (Oh yeah I forgot. A cold Canadian Beer helps quench your thirst while you wait.)
Strobist
The house interior was exposed with several flashes of an SB-25 at full power. I used DIY gels. They are actually cutouts from colour binders purchased at the Dollar Store. The house was then illuminated with a 12V Spot Light pointed into a silver umbrella. The house needed to be painted with light in order to expose it all. I couldn't expose the far end as I would have been seen by the camera.
The Haunted House – READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
This house has a history of haunted stories. I have been told some stories of this ‘resident ghost’ by the son of the caretaker who managed this establishment many years ago when it was in operation. And when this similar image was taken a year ago, something mysterious happened that makes me believe that there may be some truth behind these stories. And that said, whether you believe in these stories or not, I can tell you that when you enter this house at night in total darkness in order to flash the rooms with gels, you start to think about what you may encounter. And like always I tend to not close my eyes fast enough when firing the flash which ends up worsening my ability to see. So as I walk around the house, blinded by flashes, I must use my hands and feel around, looking for walls and doorways to get from room to room. And as I navigate throught the house, I always dread the thought of touching something.....that may be warm, that may move or even grab me……

Back in 2003 I traveled to Yellowstone National Park with one of my first
digital cameras, an Olympus C5050Z. I had recently read on the Internet
about a guy who had stitched together a 1 Giga-pixel image and since my
field of view was limited I thought I'd try my hand at it. Needless to say,
when I got home and tried using his technique my results were less than
stellar. A shame since the scenery was so stunning. While browsing the
old images and thinking man, I wish I had my Nikon D300 back then. Then I
remembered that I had been having considerable luck stitching with newer
versions of Photoshop. Piecing the images together wasn't easy as it is
with my Nikon images but with a lot of work it finally started to come together. Back when I took this I was still new to digital photography and shooting in Program Mode so needless to say, none of the images matched exposure or metering. A bit
more work in Photoshop and finally it started to look like an image. I
still wish I had the Nikon back in 2003 but it's equivalent (or
approximation of what was available at the time) would have cost more than
my car.
So here, hopefully for your enjoyment, is the finished result of the storm that blew in over Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park. This is actually the lower Yellowstone Falls. The upper falls are just around the bend and out of sight. The
lower falls drop in to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the name is
fitting. Bright yellow and orange rocks surround the falls and steep canyon
falls. It's not hard to understand why this became the world's first
National Park. The lower falls is a 308ft drop. The blue green river
water is a stark contrast against the yellow rocks. The roar of the falls
can be heard clearly from where the picture was taken. More than 63,000
gallons of water flow over the fall every second in the spring time. The
image was taken from the famous Painters Point which is a small outcropping
that extends into the canyon providing one of the most awesome sites you
will ever see. The only place that has perhaps moved me more than this
view is that of coming through the tunnel at Vista Point in Yosemite
National Park. The two parks are in stark contrast. Yellowstone is carved
by fire while Yosemite is carved by ice. Two places I would put at the top
of any nature lovers list of places to see in your lifetime.
I hope you enjoyed the image and if you read this, the story behind the
picture. Because technology continues to improve, I never throw out any
digital image. Storage is cheap. Loosing this image would have cost me
much more.

It was hard for me to believe how accesible scenes like this were during our travels around Scotland. This looks like an image from a calendar, yet I stood right there by the banks of that lake and shot the image myself! Look in the darker parts of the water and see how the water was crystal clear. View it large!
This is the spot where they have placed the memorial to the Highlanders who joined forces with bonnie Prince Charlie, and were eventually defeated at the battle of Culloden (if I have my history right!).
Anyway, from this point if you turn around 180 degrees and look the opposite direction you will see the viaduct where the Harry Potter movie was filmed! We were going to ride the train that travels along this way (the Road to the Isles), and over the viaduct, but decided to drive our rental instead so that we could stop when we wanted and take pictures, like this one! :o)
An early attempt using my new 10-24mm wide angle lens ! The building backs onto a dis-used railway line that became the UKs First Country Park ! It also houses a great bird hide, which I have mentioned previously on other bird photo 's !
Moving left to the photo ' takes you to West Kirby (just under 4 miles / 6 Kms) and to the right takes you to Hooton (just under 13 Kms / 8 miles) !
Great place for dragonflies during the summer months, as well as Coot, Moorhen, a variety of Finches, last but not least a great horde of the Common House Sparrow (currently under a long term study)
The pond has Roach, Rudd, Common Carp, Mirror Carp, Sticklebacks and Minnows and a Great Spot for Frogs early spring !
I didn't really like this photo in color or black and white so I layered the two together for a kind of duplex look. Not so sure about this one either but thought I would post one more of PHL and then move on. I want to get a bit closer to the lighthouse to try this again, but it was dead high tide here and the access to the rock beach by the lighthouse is cutoff at high tide (just a tip if you are down here shooting, know the tides! You can get stuck in half a dozen places if you are not careful).
Haven't really been on many streams lately, will try to catch up asap!
See where this picture was taken. [?]
I love this picture because it is a perfect example of how something so simple as a character meet and greet can be so magical for the children. Alice was quick to take the girls by the hands and began telling her stories. These are the things that make Disney special. How could anyone not smile at this kind of thing?
One of the things that I love about Disneyland that you’ll rarely find at Walt Disney World, is how the characters will spontaneously show up without notice or character handlers and just start their story telling and signing autographs and picture taking. …just another little piece of the puzzle that makes Disneyland outstanding and so very magical.
A little about this picture:
HDR Orton done in Dynamic Photo HDR to give it the “dreamy” effect. After that I imported to PSPX2, duplicated the layer, desaturated and brought the color layer to the top. Then rubbed away the background to show b&w. I did this because the background was distracting. I would have liked Olivia’s face (left) a touch more in the picture, but that was how I framed it. So to balance it out a little I cropped in from the right and down from the top a little, also cutting a little more of the busy background out.
Hope you like it!

CAT:
El Palau del Marqués de Dosaigües és un dels edificis civils d'estil barroc i rococó més significatius de la ciutat de València i seu del Museu de Ceràmica.
La construcció de l'antic edifici del palau es deu a la família Rabassa de Perellós, qui des del 1496 ostentava la baronia de Dosaigües.
Aquest palau fou declarat monument historicoartístic el 1941 i adquirit el 1949 pel Ministeri d'Educació per a ubicar la important col·lecció de ceràmica donada a l'estat el 1947 per Manuel González Martí i la seua dona Amèlia Cunyat. Durant set anys la col·lecció va tindre la seua seu al domicili del fundador, però després de la rehabilitació del Palau de Dosaigües, duta a terme entre 1950 i 1954, s'hi instal·là definitivament el Museu Nacional de Ceràmica.
Entre 1969 i 1972 s'amplià en bastir-se una nova ala que en el seu exterior reproduïa fidelment l'estil de la façana del segle XIX. En els anys 1980 el museu necessitava millorar la seua infraestructura i instal·lacions i el 1990 es tancà per rehabilitar-ho. Després d'anys de romandre tancat, durant la dècada següent s'obrí novament.
ESP:
El palacio de los Marqueses de Dos Aguas sito en la calle Rinconada Federico García Sanchiz de la ciudad de València, es producto de una radical reforma llevada a cabo sobre la antigua casa solariega de los Rabassa de Perellós, titulares del marquesado de Dos Aguas, en la década de 1740 en un acusado estilo rococó.
De planta cuadrangular irregular, organizado en torno a un patio y con torres en las esquinas, sus fachadas se alzan con planta baja y dos alturas, y en un lateral se abre la puerta principal, realizada en alabastro por Ignacio Vergara sobre diseño de Hipólito Rovira. Presidida por la imagen de la Virgen, desde ella descienden dos caudales de agua en alusión al título de los marqueses, con dos atlantes a los lados que simbolizan dos ríos, todo con aspecto de desbordante voluptuosidad.
En esa época toda la fachada estaba decorada con frescos de Rovira, pero en 1867 el palacio sufrió una nueva remodelación, y en ella desaparecieron las pinturas, que estaban en mal estado por la humedad, siendo sustituidas por estucos en tonos grises y rosas imitando mármoles, y además se realizaron también los balcones de sabor francés, con barandillas ondulantes.
En su interior aún podemos observar hoy las carrozas del siglo XVIII y los salones decimonónicos con su decoración original, recientemente restaurada, mientras que la segunda planta acoge el Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí, con una importante colección de piezas desde la Antigüedad a los más modernos diseños.

I finally gave Four Mile beach a visit. Having seen a few of my local flickr contacts' shots, I figured it was time to give it a whirl.
There was some serious energy in the swells this evening. Noticed a bunch of surfers also taking advantage which was pretty neat to watch.
Back at the house, we had a vote which shot would go up and Victor (my son) and I picked the mono over the color. Nadia always seems to favor the color shots.
We're off to Bodega Bay tomorrow for some down time. Hopefully I'll come back with a few to share with you folks.
If you have any recommendations as far as where to shoot please let me know.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi all,
This was taken during a walk with some of the guys the other evening, Nanagyei, Eric, Ian, Tyopfly and Jestoni.. It was a fun night, and I think we'll be going out again very soon.. I borrowed Jestoni's 10-22mm lens for this shot..

Bridge that connects the upper and lower peninsula of Michigan. It's pretty long, 5 miles from shore to shore (although it didn't really seem like that).
I have no idea if this looks correct on your guys' monitor because I have been having some serious issues with CS4 wacking out on me for the past 3 days. Everything I save as an sRGB JPEG comes out way darker than it's supposed to and it's driving me freakin crazy. I have no idea what happened or how it happened. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop. The only way I could figure out how to get around it is to save the JPEG in the Dell 2007WFP color space. Seriously hate photoshop right now and would like to kick it in the face. Hard.
EDIT: I figured out that I had somehow toggled on Proof Colors which changed the file to CMYK and I guess that's why it was coming out strange. So happy to be done with this issue. It's so frustrating when PS is acting weird and you have no idea why or how to fix it. Sometimes I think it's too complicated of a program for my own good.

Sunrise, Plitvice Lakes National Park..
View from the Vidikovac Sightseeing Point
Dear Flickr-Friend, i'm back from a short trip to Croatia.
I was 2 nights in the Hotel Plitvice next the Plitvice Lakes National Park and i enjoyed three great day in this wonderful park..
Die Sicht von diesem Aussichtspunkt ist auf vielen Postkarten zu sehen. Ich war am ersten Tag schon hier oben. Man muss beim grossen Wasserfall sehr viele steile Serpentinen raufgehen, darum sind die Massen an Besuchern nicht hier oben sondern bleiben alle unten. So hat man hier oben schön seine Ruhe :)
Ich dachte mir, von hier aus muss doch sicher ein Sonnenaufgang zu sehen sein und so beschloss ich am 2ten Tag früh morgens hier her zu gegen. Der Park ist ja um diese Zeit noch geschlossen, aber zum Glück kann man diesen Punkt auch sehr gut mit dem Auto erreichen. Bin um 05.30 Uhr aufgestanden und sass 7min später schon im Auto und fuhr zu diesem Punkt. Natürlich war ich zu spät dran, weil noch ein Bus vor mir fuhr und die ganze kleine Strasse für sich beanspruchte.. Als ich endlich ankam, waren die Wolken schon rot am glühen und ich musste mich sehr beeilen. Schnappte mir meine Kamera & Stativ und rannte die 100m zum Aussichtspunkt. Da merkte ich, dass ich das falsche Objektiv dabei hatte. Also wieder zum Auto gerannt und dieses Mal den ganzen Kamerarucksack mitgenommen. Schnell wieder zum Aussichtspunkt und völlig ausser Atem dieses Foto schiessen können. Frühsport inklusive ;)

Zauberhafte Efeu Blüten
Der Gemeine Efeu (Hedera helix) ist eine Kletterpflanze und der alleinige mitteleuropäische Repräsentant der Familie der Araliengewächse (Araliaceae).
Die immergrüne Pflanze ist fähig mit ihren Haftwurzeln an Bäumen und Mauern bis zu einer Höhe von 20 Metern emporzuklettern. Efeu ist der einzige einheimische Wurzelkletterer in Mitteleuropa und kann bis zu 450 Jahre alt werden.
Die unscheinbaren, kleinen, gelbgrünen Blüten stehen in halbkugeligen Dolden und erscheinen in den Monaten September bis Oktober. Mit dieser späten Blütezeit ist der Efeu eine Besonderheit innerhalb der mitteleuropäischen Flora, die hauptsächlich in den Frühjahrs- und Sommermonaten blühen.
Zudem ist er aufgrund dieser späten Blüte und des hohen Nektargehaltes eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle für Bienen, Wespen und Schwebfliegen. Von den Schmetterlingen besucht der Admiral die Blüten. Die Efeu-Seidenbiene (Colletes hederae) hat sich sogar auf Efeu-Pollen für die Aufzucht ihrer Brut spezialisiert. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
The common ivy (Hedera helix) is a twiner and the only Central European representative of the family Araliaceae.
The evergreen plant is able to climb up to at least 25 meters to trees and walls with their roots. Ivy can reach the age of 450 years.
The small, yellow-green blossoms are umbels and appear in the months of September through October. With this late flowering ivy is a specialty within the central European flora with their mainly flowering in the spring and summer and an important food source for bees, wasps and hoverflies. Of the butterflies, the admiral visited the blossoms. The silk ivy-bee (Colletes hederae) has even exclusively specializing on ivy pollen for rearing their broods . (Source: Wikipedia )

Sella del diavolo.
La leggenda racconta che un giorno i diavoli, attratti dal fascino e dalla bellezza del golfo di Cagliari se ne impadronirono, Dio mandò allora i suoi angeli prediletti guidati dall'arcangelo Michele per scacciare Lucifero e i suoi adepti, ma nella fuga quest'ultimo perse la sua sella che cadde e si pietrificò, il promontorio fu quindi chiamato sella del diavolo e il golfo tanto ambito golfo degli angeli.
Veduta dalla zona del pomolo della sella.
La torre in primo piano è stata edificata durante la dominazione spagnola (1280 circa) ed è denominata del poueht, che in catalano significa pozzetto, per via di un'adiacente cisterna di origine punica, denominazione in seguito estesa a tutto il litorale col nome di Poetto.
Guardate la cartina, vi impressionerà la sua posizione.
Oggi sarò un pò assente. Ci sarà la laurea di mia figlia, in Biologia.

"The last service was conducted in it in 1932, when almost the entire population finally left Bodie. Since then it has been vandalized, including having the original oilcloth that had the 10 commandments painted on it, being torn down and stolen. There is a large size wire mesh blocking the entrance, but plenty of room to easily see in and take pictures. You can still see the old wood burning stoves used to heat the room during those terrible winter Sundays.
Also, many of the original pews and stained glass are still present and in tact. The small wooden structure at the front right corner of the church is a wood shed that was added on years later." --Bodie.net

My first full morning in the Sawtooths brought a quiet sunrise and still waters. The night before I had hiked until dusk and decided to scramble down off the trail and look for a couple decent sized trees to hang my hammock from.
Fortunately, tree line was another 1,000 feet above me, so I had plenty to choose from, and found a nice copse before it got too dark.
I remember it being colder than I had expected, and the rest of the nights that trip, I would boil a bit of water and jam it down by my feet to stay warm.
Just an hour or two after I took this photo, I crested the ridge above Edith Lake, another 1,500 feet above me. Little did I expect this to be one of the most moving moments of my entire life, seeing the entire Sawtooths open up before me after cresting this final rise. I was so shocked that I broke down crying. It was as if like some burden had been lifted from me that I did not know was there. I can feel it, even now.
I often come back to that moment in my mind's eye, and it continues to be a source of strength and peace for me to this day.

Uhhg, had to go to the Dr. today... normal checkups are bad enough, but I had to go in for a biopsy. ouch. I hope to god I don't have to go thru all the surgeries and BS that I had to endure last year. I'll find out in 2 weeks what the deal is. Its going to be a long two weeks... It's hard staying positive when all I want is a negative.
Dr. says I have to quit smoking. I know this to be the truth, its just so hard when I'm this stressed... I have a love/hate relationship with these fuckers. *sigh* I'm gonna pick a quit date soon, and then fucking stick to it. hopefully this will be the last shot in which you see me smoking...

Non tutti i ghiacciai reagiscono allo stesso modo ai cambiamenti climatici, e per fortuna ce n’è qualcuno che continua a crescere. E’ il caso del ghiacciaio di Perito Moreno in Argentina, che da cento anni mantiene un equilibrio perfetto.
Di anno in anno, il ghiacciaio si espande un po’, fino a toccare un lembo di terra sul lago Argentin, tagliando a metà uno dei laghi più grandi dell’Argentina. L’acqua del lago emerge di 60 metri sul livello normale del lago, fino a rompere il muro-ponte di ghiaccio, lasciando a bocca aperta centinaia di turisti giunti in Patagonia per osservare il fenomeno.
“E’ come se un edificio immenso crollasse all’improvviso”, così Javier D’Angelo, ranger del parco Los Glaciares, descrive il fenomeno, da lui osservato nel 1998 e nel 2008. Il fenomeno della rottura del muro di ghiaccio, per quanto spettacolare, è comunque un segno che il ghiacciaio di Perito Moreno è un ghiacciaio dinamico, che si muove e si rompe inaspettatamente, sebbene non reagisca ai cambiamenti climatici come tutti gli altri
"A universe comes to contribute to our happiness when reverie comes to accentuate our repose. You must tell the man who wants to dream well to begin by being happy. Then reverie plays out its veritable destiny; it becomes poetic reverie and by it, in it, everything becomes beautiful. If the dreamer had "the gift" he would turn his reverie into a work. And this work would be grandiose since the dreamed world is automatically grandiose." from The Poetics of Reverie by Gaston Bachelard
This one is for GERI aka Born 2 Be Mild. I don't know when and how I stumbled upon Geri's stream but I surely am glad I did. I could never forget her 5-CARROT RING POST. If I recall that was the very first of her photos I commented on. And I knew right there and then that I had to stay connected to this wonderful lady - now a treasured friend - because if there is someone on Flickr who can make me laugh, she certainly can. She may not know it, but it was Geri who inspired me to capture droplets on flowers and leaves. And that is why I am dedicating this droplet, this "dreamed world" to her. I hope she finds it worthy.
He is the baby bun that will stay with Rosa! Well baby..... he got very interested in his mother and his mother in him!! So a few days ago we had to castrate him before we got more and more baby buns:) He is doing fine after this minor (not sure if the men among us agree with this) surgery.
All the time I have been trying to get a good baby binky shot but it was so very difficult. This is the only bit decent action picture I made of him in the last two months. It's a bit blurry but when I look at it, it brings a big smile on my face! Hope it does the same to you too:)
Click here to see one of the last video's we made of all the buns together.
For the other four (all female) we found a good and loving home.
Happy Furry Friday Everyone!
This will be my last picture here on Flickr for a while. Hope to be back in July:)

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.
Its that time of year when sunrise is about 4.30am... but to have the solitude, the early morning birdsong, and the place to yourself... absolute bliss!!...

Worthing Pier was sectioned in 1940 for fear of German invasion after the retreat at Dunkirk. The shoreward end pavilion was adapted as a recreation centre for troops, providing concert parties and cinema shows. The pier pavilion re-opened in June 1946 but a shortage of materials meant the remainder of Worthing Pier remained closed until April 1949. In March 1958 the shoreward end pavilion was refurbished and in 1959 the adjacent Denton Lounge was added. In 1963 an information kiosk at the shoreward end caused considerable local controversy as its style was not in keeping with the other buildings. The shoreward end buildings were closed between 1979 and 1982, as major restoration work on the substructure was required.
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.
So I've been playing around with composites more. Its really amazing to be able to create a world right on your computer. I often have trouble justifying that it's photography, when it comes down to it, it's not. Because it was always something I loved to do, and so many people told me to go into graphics instead. Although I'm sure I could eventually use my own stock photos and it could be photography?

The rest is my own.

Also, I really enjoy doing sort of an informal 365. I never really thought I could do one if I was actually in one, but flickr in general motivates me to create lots of work. More work, and more creative work, than what I do while in school. Which is sad.
Thanks for your visit and comment!!!
