... atteindre le sommet du " Géant de Provence ", le mythique mont Ventoux!
Du haut de ses 1912 mètres, il règne en maître. De son sommet, il fait découvrir l’un des plus vaste panorama d’Europe, dominant la Vallée du Rhône, les Baronnies et le plateau du Vaucluse. Son sommet, aux pentes dénudées et caillouteuses est couronné d'un observatoire, ce qui le rend reconnaissable à plus de 100 km à la ronde.
Paysage aux milles facettes, le Ventoux est surtout un lieu de légende pour les cyclistes que l'on rencontre, le souffle court dans la montée, et le visage marqué, mais épanoui par le défi relevé dans la descente.
En faire l'ascension à pied, lorsque le soleil baisse à l'horizon, à la fin d'une journée lumineuse mais froide d'un début de mois d'avril, c'est à celui qui sera le plus fort....
'after sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. within decades we must close our eyes again. isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? this is how i answer when i am asked—as i am surprisingly often—why i bother to get up in the mornings.' - richard dawkins, unweaving the rainbow: science, delusion and the appetite for wonder
(about the book, dawkins says: my title is from keats, who believed that newton had destroyed all the poetry of the rainbow by reducing it to the prismatic colors. keats could hardly have been more wrong, and my aim is to guide all who are tempted by a similar view, towards the opposite conclusion. science is, or ought to be, the inspiration for great poetry.)

it pays for people to know your personal obsessions. i woke up late yesterday morning and started puttering around the house, internet and flickr, minding my own (and the world's) business, when i got an urgent call to rush outside with the camera to capture an ice crystal halo, specifically a circumscibed halo!
i spent about an hour outside from about noon to just past 1:00, trying to find spots to see the halo entirely and a decent post to hide the sun itself... but in vain. i resorted to using my lens cap.
i've sent these over to les cowley at atmospheric optics, a website which analyzises rainbows, halos, glories, coronas, rays and shadows -- anything to do with light in the atmosphere -- to get an idea of the structure of the halo. i also had a chat with my friend, jonathan shock, who believes this halo includes a infralateral arc and a parhelic circle.
EDIT: i just got word from les that he's going to feature these this week on atmospheric optics' picture of the day! :-))
EDIT again: it's up on opod (atmospheric optics of the day)! (opod permalink)
hit it while it's hot! woohoo!
i had captured another halo in beijing in january 2008. its set on flickr is here and its 'anatomy' is here.
jonathan has some wonderful captures himself: two over santiago and one thrilling specimen over the eiffel tower!

i'm feeling a bit ill today and don't have the energy to process a whole lot of my more recent images -- the best i can offer today is this image of a tavern that's hidden away at the windmills area in chios (tolis has a beautiful gallery). i couldn't see it from the road -- i spotted it only when i was walking around the windmills themselves.
i don't know how, but my train of thought led me to imagine a huge party for flickr friends and contacts, with everyone holding a camera, shooting each other and looking for something interesting.
i'll try to get around to your streams today -- (it cheers me up!) -- but i hope you forgive me if i don't succeed.

EDIT: hey, look where my moon candy landed! www.focus.it/natura/gallery/10092009-1252-113-astronomi-p...
See where this picture was taken. [?]
No tripod needed for this one. There's a nice chest high wall that's plenty deep enough to rest a camera on. A beanbag certainly helps and is one of the most useful things in my camera bag... The reason the log at the top of the hill is "frozen" even though this is a 30sec exposure, is ride's flash for the on ride photo. If you look really closely at the "stream" towards the bottom of the picture you can see the blur from other logs coming through.

Maybe Tomorrow
-stereophonics-
I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me
It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe
I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
turvy.
while on my way home today, I felt this sense of giddiness for no apparent reason...then I finally knew why...I finally got to speak to John, the director of CMI Project Papillon a few minutes ago. Even though the reception was bad, it was nice to hear his voice from Port au Prince. He and his youth ministry are reaching out to the community in Port au Prince and just like what you've been hearing and reading about through the news, they are in need of tents, food, and the children of his orphanage, need multi-vitamins.

La estatua ecuestre de Carlos III, considerado popularmente como el mejor alcalde de Madrid, está situada en la Puerta del Sol. Es una reproducción en bronce de Miguel Ángel Rodríguez y Eduardo Zancada de una obra de Juan Pascual de Mena conservada en la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
La marca Tío Pepe fue registrada por vez primera en 1888, aunque ya por entonces era conocida y respetada por los exportadores, sobre todo del Reino Unido.
El prestigio del fino “Tío Pepe” fue creciendo hasta que en la tercera década del siglo XX tuvo una expansión inusitada, contribuyendo a ello el ingenio creativo de Luis Pérez Solero, quien en 1935 vistió la botella con chaquetilla roja y sombrero, creando el icono publicitario que hoy es el símbolo de la empresa.
En el año 1935 se solicita el anuncio luminoso de La Puerta del Sol. En un principio no se utiliza el logotipo del Tío Pepe, sino una copa apoyada en la letra G de González Byass y el lema “Vinos Jerez Coñac”. Años después se repara el anuncio y se cambia su diseño por el que podemos ver hoy en día. Desde 1975 se han sucedido diversos intentos de regular la publicidad en la Puerta del Sol quitando los anuncios luminosos que alojaba.
Por unas razones u otras el anuncio de González Byass, el Tío Pepe, ha sobrevivido a estos intentos, por ser considerado parte importante del paisaje de la Puerta del Sol.
En 2009, se declara por el ayuntamiento como patrimonio histórico de los madrileños.

Epithemia es una diatomea de casco primoroso. En su silueta de galeón de cristal se marcan y transparentan mil cuadernas labradas como en un trabajo de arquitectura minuciosa y casi imposible, escultura y orfebrería a la vez. Quizá por eso Epithemia no navega como lo hacen otras diatomeas y prefiere reposar sobre la superficie de otras algas, algas verdes para recibir la luz del sol.
Las dos piezas del cascarón de Epithemia encajan como la tapa y la base de un estuche que encierra una vida muy especial, la línea de ese encaje es el rafe y en Epithemia es muy característico pues en el centro de esa línea de unión se dibuja de manera nítida el signo de una V, es el sello que llevan todas las hermanas, no muchas, apenas diecisiete especies, todas ellas delicadamente talladas y todas ellas barcos en reposo al abrigo de otras algas mayores que hacen de puerto.
La especie de hoy es una de las mayores de este género singular, se trata de Epithemia turgida , puede superar las cien micras de longitud y suele aparecer en manantiales y riachuelos próximos al mar. Nuestra Epithemia procede también de una muestra recolectada por África en el Barranc Fondo en el Coll D’Alforja en Tarragona y gracias a ella la vemos hoy aquí fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Digamos que esta es de las foto que más me gusta de esta noche, ya que es una simple composición de rocas y cielo, pero la verdad que con luz de luna y la contaminación lumínica de bolnuevo ayuda baste, ya sé que la foto es un poco irreal, le he dado ese color al cielo para simular lo que no es, pero bueno a todos nos gusta soñar un poco con poderlo ver alguna vez, seguramente la próxima foto que suba será la original de esta foto -Playa de Cueva de los Lobos – Bolnuevo.
Nota: Os quiero comunicar que mi estado de baja ya llega a su fin, y que el jueves me incorporo de nuevo al trabajo, asique ya no tendré tanto tiempo para estar por aquí.

Listen Dante's Prayer Loreena Mckennitt
When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrown
When the priests of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
Chorus:
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and the fire
Chorus
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Chorus
Please remember me
Please remember me, ...
El municipio aparece citado en el documento de consagración de la catedral de Urgel del año 839,en que aparece escrito como Balcebre. En el año 983 existía en el pueblo un castillo del que no queda ningún vestigio. La señoría estaba compartida por el abad de Bagá y por los barones de Peguera hasta que en el siglo XV pasó a formar parte de las posesiones de la familia Foix.

I was walking on the sidewalk and I saw this guy come out of a door. I immediately said to myself, "I gotta get a shot of him." I went around some cars, hid behind one and tried to wait for the right time so he would'nt see me. I popped up, pointed my camera and he was looking straight at me. LOL! I would make a horrible spy or ninja there was no point in me hiding.

Seeing this still very small tulip (about half the size of this close-up) makes my heart ache with wonderment and awe. The still nearly waxy leaves are folded over the opening flower like protecting hands and I think of the church hymn about being safe in the hollow of His (God's) hand.... :)

Press play and let go. You know that feeling, when your insides just turn to mush. Your eyes close and you become so lost, it's overwhelming. It becomes hard to breathe, but it feels incredible and there are no words to be said. Even if it's about pain, it feels so good. Sometimes you know why the music does this to you, and sometimes you don't. It doesn't matter, the feeling just takes over and you crumble. The music isn't always good, and it's not always your favorite. It can be something you hate, but you feel it on an entirely different level.
This feeling is something everyone can relate to. If you can't, my heart goes out to you and somehow I hope you find it.
I'm honestly on the verge of tears right now. Not because I'm sad, but out of joy.
It pulls out your soul.
This is where I get lost.

Unforgiven II On Black and large
Theme - Unforgiven-II-metallica
Lay beside me-Tell me what they've done-And speak the words I wanna hear
To make my demons run-The door is locked now-But it's open if you're true-
If you can understand the me-Then I can understand the you
Lay beside me-Under wicked sky-Black of day-Dark of night
We share this paralyze
The door cracks open
But there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still
But there's no sun shining through
No there's no sun shining through
No there's no sun shining
What I've feared
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you
Yeah!
What I've feared
What I've known
Sick 'n' tired of staying alone
Could you be there
Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too
Come lay beside me-This won't hurt I swear-She loves me not
She loves me still-But she'll never love again-She lay beside me
But she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there
What I've feared
What I've known
Turn the pages
Turn the stone
Behind the door
Should I open it for you
Yeah!
What I've feared
What I've known
Sick 'n' tired of staying alone
Could you be there
Cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too
Lay beside me
Tell me what I've done
The door is closer on your eyes
But now I see the sun
Now I see the sun
Yes now I see it
What I've known
I take this key and I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too
Cause you're unforgiven too
Happy Thursday my friends!!!!!!!thanks for the visit, comments, notes and fave!!!

El petit municipi de l'Estany, situat al nord-oest del Bages i en ple altiplà del Moianès, ocupa un indret frescal que es caracteritza per la seva alçada i per una pluviositat més gran que la resta de la comarca. A la població, situada a 870 m., s'hi accedeix sobretot per la carretera que s'enfila cap al nord de Moià. Després d'una àrea de grans pagesies disperses entre boscos i conreus, molt aviat s'entra en un pla ben aprofitat on destaca la població de l'Estany. El nucli de l'Estany, arrecerat al nord per un serrat, s'alça a la vora d'on hi havia un antic estany, dessecat l'any 1570 per ordre de l'abat Carles de Cardona per tal d'escórrer les aigües i evitar així els focus d'epidèmies que comportava. L'estany encara es torna a omplir en època de grans pluges. Les cases són de pedra i constitueixen un bon exemple de poble rural, gairebé muntanyenc. Els visitants van a l'Estany atrets pel seu bon clima i per l'extraordinari monestir romànic de Santa Maria, amb la seva església restaurada, un claustre magnífic amb 72 capitells de temes bíblics, heràldics i florístics, i un petit museu annex on es resumeix la història del cenobi. Altres indrets destacables del municipi són el Puig Rodó i el Puig de la Caritat, i la diversitat de fonts naturals que hi ha. Les festes i tradicions més notables són la Festa Major (8 de setembre), la Fira (8 de desembre) i el Pessebre Vivent.
El pequeño municipio de l'Estany, situado al noroeste del Bages y en pleno altiplano del Moianès, ocupa un lugar fresco que se caracteriza por su altura y por una pluviosidad mayor que el resto de la comarca. En la población, situada a 870 m., se accede sobre todo por la carretera que sube hacia el norte de Moià. Después de un área de grandes campesinas dispersas entre bosques y cultivos, muy pronto se entra en un plan bien aprovechado donde destaca la población de l'Estany. El núcleo de l'Estany, protegido al norte por una loma, se alza a orillas de donde había un antiguo lago, desecado en 1570 por orden del abad Carles de Cardona para escurrir las aguas y evitar así los focos de epidemias que comportaba. El lago aún se vuelve a llenar en época de grandes lluvias. Las casas son de piedra y constituyen un buen ejemplo de pueblo rural, casi montañoso. Los visitantes al Lago atraídos por su buen clima y por el extraordinario monasterio románico de Santa María, con su iglesia restaurada, un claustro magnífico con 72 capiteles de temas bíblicos, heráldicos y florísticos, y un pequeño museo anexo donde se resume la historia del cenobio. Otros lugares destacables del municipio son el Puig Rodó y el Puig de la Caridad, y la diversidad de fuentes naturales que hay. Las fiestas y tradiciones más notables son la Fiesta Mayor (8 de septiembre), la Feria (8 de diciembre) y el Pesebre Viviente.
The small town of Lake, located northwest of Bages and full Moianès plateau, occupies a cool place that is characterized by its height and a higher rainfall than the rest of the region. In the town, located 870 m above is accessed by the road that climbs north of Moia. After a large area of scattered peasant between forests and crops, soon entered into a plan which highlights the best advantage of the lake population. The core of the lake, sheltered on the north by a serrated stands at the edge where there was an ancient lake dried up in 1570 by order of Abbot Charles Cardona to drain water and prevent outbreaks of epidemics entailed. The lake is still refills at times of heavy rainfall. The houses are stone and are a good example of rural village, almost mountainous. The visitors were attracted to the lake for its good climate and the extraordinary Romanesque monastery of Santa Maria, with its restored church, a magnificent cloister with 72 capitals of biblical themes, floristic and arms, and a small museum in which there are summarizes the history of the monastery. Other notable places are the town's Round Puig and Puig de la Caridad, and diversity of natural resources there. The festivities and traditions most notably the Festival (September 8), Fair (December 8) and the Living Nativity.
Part of my soap & water (Set)
When my good friend Jane in Colour was setting up her new group Soap Films she asked if I'd like to have a go at doing a soap film photo. The result was soap, water and copper #1. This shot is from the same session.
Setup notes:
I made my own loop out of copper wire (about 10cm diameter), mixed up some washing up liquid with water. I used a spotlight lamp, tungsten in this case, but anything bright and directional will do. It is worth experimenting with shampoos and combinations of different types of washing up liquids and perhaps even small amounts of sugar - they all seem to give slightly different effects. One thing - I use an old UV filter on the front of my lens to protect it when the soap film collapses.
Please take a look at Jane in Colour's excellent Soap Films group

Morocco (Arabic: المغرب al-Maghrib ; Berber: ⴰⵎⵕⵕⵓⴽ or ⵍⵎⴰⵖⵔⵉⴱ[8] Ameṛṛuk or Lmaġrib; French: Maroc), officially the Kingdom of Morocco.[2] Arabic name al-Mamlakat al-Maghribiyyah (Arabic: المملكة المغربية) translates to "The Western Kingdom". Al-Maghrib (Arabic: المغرب), or Maghreb, meaning "The West", is commonly used. The Kingdom of Morocco is the most westerly of the North African countries. It has Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, and a rugged mountain interior.
Morocco has a population of over 32 million and an area of 446,550 km2 (172,410 sq mi); if Western Sahara is included that would be 710,850 km2 (274,460 sq mi). The political capital is Rabat, although the largest city is Casablanca; other major cities include Marrakech, Tangier, Tetouan, Salé, Fes, Agadir, Meknes, Oujda, Kenitra, and Nador. Morocco has a history of independence not shared by its neighbours. Its rich culture is a blend of Arab, Berber (indigenous African) and also other African and European influences.
I was in New Orleans for business and had gone the night before to dinner & to see the famous "Bourbon Street". It lived up to it's reputation, lol...as I was getting ready for bed I was thinking about all the people & mess (beads, garbage) I saw on the street. I wondered what it would look like the morning after..so, I got up at 6 am (didn't sleep much, excited wondering, lol) and wandered over there before my 8 am meetings. I got there at 6:35, but it took almost 10 minutes for my lens to defog and I was able to shoot..lol (I did try to shoot anyway - no dice) My lens wasn't completely fog free here but I was missing the best...
As most things it looked a lot different in the light of day!
The truck had jet hoses and two guys (one on each side) that blew the trash into the middle of the street and then a big sweeper truck sucked it all up...
It was sooooo humid all the windows were fogged, someone (staff I guess) drew the heart in the resturant window. 2nd Photo - It made me think of Adri ( <---there ) and this beautiful shot she took somewhat along these lines...
Be well my friends...the party is not over yet, not by a long shot! lol

Bus stop
Wandal oli täna esimene teatriabonemendi etendus Viinis ja me käisime Paulaga kooli ees laste bussil vastas. Ilmad on jälle soojemad ja õhtud mõnusad. Wanda oli etendusest väga vaimustatud ja nii õnnelik! - tjah, mitte just järjekordse foto tegemise üle koduteel...
See bussipeatus on Pestalozzi algkooli ees, kus Paula 2. klassis käib (ja Wanda 4 aastat käis).
Wanda had her first theatre abonnement trip to Vienna today and Paula came with me to meet the children's bus at the gymnasium. The weather is getting warmer again and the nights are lovely. She was very excited about the play and so happy! - Well, not with me wanting to take a photo at the bus stop on our way home...

Very large specimen of one of my favourite eating mushrooms.
Note: The British Mycological Society prefers the common name "Clustered Domecap".
Many mushrooms are poisonous, some are deadly poisonous, the responsibility for eating any mushroom or fungus must rest with the individual. If you collect any mushrooms to eat make sure that your identification checks out in every detail. Never eat any wild mushroom until an expert mycologist has checked your identification.

28 de Abril, 2008: Día Mundial de la Seguridad y la Salud en el Trabajo
El Día Mundial de la Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo es una campaña internacional destinada a promover tanto la salud y la seguridad en el trabajo como el trabajo decente.
Cada año mueren más de 2 millones de personas a causa de accidentes o enfermedades relacionadas con el trabajo.
De acuerdo con estimaciones moderadas, se producen 270 millones de accidentes en el trabajo y 160 millones de casos de enfermedades profesionales.
La seguridad en el trabajo difiere enormemente de país en país, entre sectores económicos y grupos sociales.
Los países en desarrollo pagan un precio especialmente alto en muertes y lesiones, pues un gran número de personas están empleadas en actividades peligrosas como agricultura, construcción, industria maderera, pesca y minería.
En todo el mundo, los pobres y los menos protegidos – con frecuencia mujeres, niños y migrantes – son los más afectados.
La OIT (Organización Internacional del Trabajo) pone especial atención en desarrollar y aplicar una cultura de seguridad y salud preventiva en el lugar de trabajo.
En 2003, la OIT instituyó el 28 de abril como Día Mundial de la Seguridad y la Salud en el Trabajo para destacar la necesidad de prevención de enfermedades y accidentes laborales, utilizando como punto de apoyo el tripartismo y el diálogo social.
El 28 de abril es también el Día Mundial que el movimiento sindical asocia a la conmemoración de las Víctimas de Accidentes o Enfermedades relacionadas con el Trabajo.
Para escuchar, una sugerencia: Madrugada
¡Espero que empiecen muy bien la semana!!! ¡Un besote inmenso para todos!!!

This is the last photo session of the flowers. I hope I have answered to everyone who commented on the photo above. And thank you for the comments and Faves, still no pictures. So good Thursday to all. Kisses.
I love the sumptuous jewel like nature of these drops on the cotinus leaves. When I took this in October we had had an unsually dry autumn and this day was like a magical gift, of fat heavy raindrops on the leaves.
This coincidentally is a bit like my outfit that I wore last night when I sang in a band for the first time, in front of 600 people (just the one song). Although unfortunately there is no photoographic evidence as people were constantly told not to take photos.
for the record: I was wearing a pink short sleeved dress in t shirt material that miraculously, being a size 10/12 fitted me (I am not sure how), and it had jewels sewn on the bodice. Shocking pink leggings, black boots (unfortunately I was not able to put my hands on a pair of silver platform boots) a long piece of tinsel and a reddish wig.
Considering how little practice we were able to have, our one song in the concert went well except my mike was not loud enough, which I am gutted (really gutted) about.
I nearly forgot to write about the floods in Cumbria UK which have been really bad - there's me obsessing about a mike that didn't work - so these raindrops remind me of the floods. Luckily we have had no floods here, although it is raining (again)
El castillo de Montbui ya consta como organizado en el año 936. El conde Borrell II lo cedió al obispo Ató de Vic en el año 970. Las primeras noticias de la iglesia datan de los años 972 y 993, cuando el obispo Fruià levantó, en la cumbre del Montbui, un nuevo castillo y una iglesia, pero esta quedó inacabada a causa de una fuerte sequía que obliga a emigrar a los repobladores de la comarca. En el año 1023 el obispo Oliba enfeudó la fortaleza al levita Guillem de Oló, que repobló definitivamente el término, restauró el castillo y acabó la iglesia. La iglesia es un edificio construido a finales del siglo X e inicios del XI. Es de planta basilical de tres naves, cabeceadas por ábsides semicirculares, cubiertos con bóvedas de cuarto de esfera. El perímetro de la iglesia se ensancha hacia la cabecera y únicamente es roto por unos contrafuertes ataludados y una capilla moderna. Los ábsides llevan decoración lombarda con arquerías entre lesenas. Las naves laterales quedan separadas por dos series de seis arcadas de donde arrancan las vueltas que las cubren. Los dos primeros tramos, seguramente corresponden a la iglesia más antigua, anterior al 990 y quizás nunca acabada. Estas dos primeras arcadas apoyan sobre pilares cuadrangulares, las restantes, hacia la cabecera, reposan sobre columnas cortas y gruesas. Las vueltas de las naves son irregulares, ya que a lo largo de su recorrido adoptan diferentes perfiles, pasando por un arco de medio punto, hasta convertirse en un arco ultrapasado o de ligera herradura. El muro oeste es coronado por un campanario de pared de dos aperturas que se erigió posteriormente. Debajo hay una ventana en forma de cruz. La puerta de acceso, abierta al muro sur, corresponde a un remodelaje posterior, seguramente del siglo XVI. En el interior se conserva una sencilla pila bautismal y otra pieza utilizada como pila benditera. Muy cerca se conservan los restos del castillo del siglo X. De planta rectangular con los ángulos redondeados. El interior bastante modificado, se organiza a partir de una planta baja, desdoblada en un recibidor y una sala cubierta con bóveda de medio punto. La planta superior solo conserva los muros. La puerta de entrada original se encuentra más arriba, a nivel del primer piso, a modo de ventanal.
The castle has already Montbui as organized in 936. Count Borrell II Atomic traded him to the bishop of Vic in the year 970. The first news of the church dating from 972 and 993, when Bishop frui up, Montbui on top of a new castle and a church, but this remained unfinished because of a severe drought that forced the settlers to emigrate of the region. In 1023 the bishop Oliba feuded strength to coat Guillem de Olo, who repopulated the term finally, restored the castle and the church ended. The church is a building built in the late tenth century and the beginning of XI. It has a basilica with three naves, apses doze by semicircular arches covered with quarter-sphere. The perimeter of the church widens toward the top and is only broken by buttresses ataludados and a modern chapel. The apses are decorated with arches between lesen Lombard. The aisles are separated by two series of six arches where they dig up the laps that cover. The first two installments, probably corresponding to the oldest church, before the 990 and perhaps never finished. These first two arches resting on square pillars, the other, toward the head, resting on short columns and thick. The turns of the vessels are irregular, because along its course take different profiles, to a semicircular arch, into an arc or slightly surpassed horseshoe. The west wall is topped by a tower wall was erected two starts later. Below is a cross-shaped window. The access door is open to the south wall, represents a later remodeling, probably sixteenth century. In Inside is a simple font and another room used as benditera stack. Nearby is the remains of the castle of the tenth century The rectangular with rounded corners. The much modified inside, is organized from the ground floor, split into a reception room and a roof deck with a half-point. The upper floor retains only the walls. The original entrance is located above the first floor level, as a window.
On Sunday we were just north of Leeds at a memorial to remember the fallen from a battle which took place at a remote Yorkshire village called Towton.
The battle took place on March 29th 1461 between the waring factions of the Yorkists and the Lancastrians. This was the largest, bloodiest and most murderous battle ever fought in Britain. It is estimated that around 30.000 people died on Psalm Sunday all those years ago - more men died here on that day than on the first day of the battle of the Somme during the 1st world war. No quarter was given at all on this killing field. This was one of the battles fought during the Wars of the Roses
Anyway there was a display of Falconry at the re-enactment this Owl was amongst the birds of prey on display and he is in my opinion a very fine chap.

This is the midway point in the laerdal tunnel, the 24,5 kilometers long tunnel has 3 of these colored caves. They are designed to break up the mind numbing monotony that sets in during the 20 minute drive, the other two are blue. The rooms are truly astounding, beautifully lit, and the acoustics are just plain freaky. I wanted to make a 360 pano, but standing in the middle of the road with a tripod just seemed like a very bad idea..
From wiki: "Construction started in 1995 and was completed in 2000, thus succeeding the Gotthard Road Tunnel as the longest road tunnel in the world. The tunnel is a part of the E16 main route between Oslo and Bergen."
Note : Hope the color is correct here, it looked way to green in firefox, so i had to mess around with the colorprofile. This one is uploaded as adobe rgb, looks ok in safari and firefox on my imac now. I am also unsure if i should crop more of the ceiling, any thoughts?

Winter Wonderland written in 1934 by Felix Bernard (composer)
and Richard B. Smith (lyricist).
There are lots of interpretations. Here comes Pat Boone:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE8D52xD4uw
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Children's rights in Swaziland (2006)
Children's access to education was limited by the impact of poverty, HIV/AIDS, sexual violence and discrimination on the basis of gender and disability. The number of children orphaned by AIDS was estimated at 70,000 and 10 to 15 per cent of households were headed by children, mostly by girls who were vulnerable to multiple forms of abuse.
Additional training and capacity for the police Domestic Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (DV Unit), the establishment of child friendly interview facilities and the development of Community Child Protection Committees at local level began to improve children's access to justice in cases of abuse.
In September the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) expressed concern at the lack of a "systematic and comprehensive" legislative review to bring domestic legislation into line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The CRC was also concerned at the lack of protection under the law against early and forced marriage, the position of adolescent girls suffering marginalization and gender stereotyping and their low school completion rates. The CRC criticized the persistence of corporal punishment in the family and in schools, and the provision in the Constitution which permitted "moderate chastisement" of children. The courts continued to impose corporal punishment on under-18-year-old boys.
The government significantly increased its national budget allocation for the education of orphans and vulnerable children, but continuing delays in payments to schools jeopardized the children's access to education. In November the Swaziland National Association of Teachers applied to the High Court for an order to compel the government to make the payments. The case was postponed until 2007 because of the shortage of judges.

Foggy winter morning at Pitt Meadows near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: Well, we've been battered by some snow storms here on the west coast of Canada in the last couple of weeks. In the area where I live we must have received about a foot (about 30cm) of snow if not more. The last dump of snow came to us on Monday morning and since then it has been freezing cold with temperatures below freezing, but the snow was replaced by blue skies and sunshine. I finally have been able to go out and enjoy the sunshine in the last couple of days.
That morning I had to take my mother in law to the hospital in Maple Ridge for cataract surgery. She would be there for about 3 hours and while she was getting her eye drops done and the procedure I decided to venture out and drive to beautiful Pitt Lake which was not far away. As I approached the lake I see lots of fog and when I am walking towards the lake the sun starts hitting the fog and I am in awe standing there while the fog rises and swirls around me. What an amazing sight. I cannot capture that feeling in a photo, but I hope this photo will give you an idea of how beautiful it was to stand there! As I looked back, the sun was hitting the fog while those 3 people were standing there flying a drone. It looked so serene.

Some information on the Pitt Lake area: Pitt Lake is located in Grant Narrows Regional Park in Pitt Meadows which is about 45 minutes east of downtown Vancouver. Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, being about 53.5 square km (20.5 square mi) in area. It is about 25km (15.6mi) long and about 4.5km (2.8mi) wide at its widest, and is also one of the world's largest tidal lakes, its confluence with the Fraser being only a few miles upstream from that river's estuary into the Strait of Georgia. Its southern tip, where the Pitt River resumes, is 40km (25mi) east of downtown Vancouver.
The upper Pitt River valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. The over-deepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140m (462ft) below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120m (396ft) to 140m (462ft) above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west this fjord basin became cut off by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River by ca 10,500 years ago and is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
The community of Pitt Meadows occupies the marshy lowland at the southern end of the lake, some of which has become drained and is known as the Pitt Polder. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees. The Upper Pitt, meaning the valley upstream from the lake, is considered BC's best fly-fishing rivers and one of its best steelhead streams.
The lake is popular with boaters and canoeists, but is prone to heavy winds and rains as well as big waves (due to its great depth). The mountain range on its east flank comprises Golden Ears Provincial Park, its basin to the north is in southern Garibaldi Provincial Park, while the mountain range on its west, northeast of Vancouver's Coquitlam Lake watershed reservoir, is Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. The waterfront and foreshore of the lake and river are public-access and include extensive migratory wildfowl habitat. There is a destination golfing resort in the Pitt Polder area called Swan-e-set.
The area along the east side of the lake is somewhat famous for being the reputed location of Slumach's lost gold mine, the location of many failed and sometimes disastrous searches for the alleged murderer's lost gold mine. (Info from Wikipedia)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!!
Five years old bringin comedy.
Everytime I look at you I think man a little me, just like me.
If the world attacks and you slide off track,
you can cry isn’t shame in it.
Remember one fact I got your back.
I hear the cyrstal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Just the two of us
Building them’ castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
Just two of us by Will Smith & Bill Withers.
( thank you Tess for saving the screen shot for me and thank you all my friends for your wonderful visit and support. )

How and why: The heron is a pretty elusive bird and this is the best I ever managed to catch it, so of course I had to share. I don't have the patience for animal photography, but sometimes you get lucky. It was darker than is een here, so it was difficult to spot too! It completely disappears in its surroundings when it's darker too.
Editing: Brightening the scene, smoothing out the noise with added blur on everything but the heron itself.
Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.
Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high. Cloud Gate sits upon the At&T Plaza.
"What I wanted to do in Millennium Park is make something that would engage the Chicago skyline…so that one will see the clouds kind of floating in, with those very tall buildings reflected in the work. And then, since it is in the form of a gate, the participant, the viewer, will be able to enter into this very deep chamber that does, in a way, the same thing to one's reflection as the exterior of the piece is doing to the reflection of the city around."

ANZAC Square, which is named in honour of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, is a Queensland state memorial to men and women who participated in overseas armed service. It is located between Ann Street and Adelaide Street (opposite Post Office Square), in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. ANZAC Square is adjacent to ANZAC Square Arcade.
ANZAC Square contains the Shrine of Remembrance and the 'Eternal Flame of Remembrance' held in a continuously lit bronze urn, dedicated on Tuesday, 11 November, 1930.
There is also the World War II Shrine of Memories. Daphne Mayo sculptured the Women's War Memorial that forms part of the memorial's wall.
The external wall of the Shrine of Memories is dedicated to the 60 000 Queenslanders who fought in World War I.[3] There are also war-related statues, for various wars, including memorial statues for the Queensland soldiers who fought during the Second Boer War (1899-1902), as well as World War II, the Vietnam War and campaigns in Korea, Borneo and New Guinea.
On 25 April, every year, a Dawn Service is held at the Shrine of Remembrance and ANZAC Square.

How and why: I spotted the water coming out of these leaves, almost completely separated from the creek. It made for an interesting detail, and I thought quite unusual. Mostly there's just rocks with some leaves around.
Editing: A fair amount. Added contrast and darkened the leaves to make the water stand out more. Also, the one leaf on the left is darkened further because it had a strong distracting reflection of light.

Seni tarif etmektedir bütün güzel isimler
Sen güzel isimlerini aşikar etmezsen ruhum karanlıkta kalır
Esmaül Hüsnana şahit yaz beni...
Ya Rabbi
Sana söyleyeceklerim
Senin kudretin için Yeterli gelmez biliyorum
Ancak gözüme görünen
Gönlüme değdirdiğin güzellikler kadar
Cümle kurabilirim
Sen'den başkasına boyun eğdirme bizi...
Sevdirirsin kendini uyanık gönüllere.
Sevgini emzirirsin emziren annelere.
Sevgini dokundurursun açılan güllere.
Sevdiğin ve sevdirdiğin için bakar yüzler yüzlere.
Sevdiğin ve sevdirdiğin için güneş doğar günlere.
Sevdiğin ve sevdirdiğin için baharın gelir her yere.
Sevdiğin ve sevdirdiğin için kelamın değer dillere.
Sevdanı kalbimin karasına çal.
Gönlüme rahmetinin ırmağını sal.
Ruhumu zikrinin lezzetiyle al.
Son anımda vesveseye yol verme.
Son demde gönle yaramaz şeyler gösterme.
Sen ki Sana rağbet edenleri çok iyi bilirsin;
teveccühünle şereflendir beni.
Sen ki suskun gönüllerde saklı kalanları bilirsin;
gizli saklı arzularıma cevap ver de sevindir beni...

Train journeys, since my childhood I have been on train, those moments are the ones I enjoy the most. The unknown people who discuss about international politics, people who often borrow books to read, a husband who carries his baby around trying to calm it down, some vacant stations where nothing happens, some very busy cities and once its dark the calmness which prevails, the rhythm with which it crosses the bridges, dried up rivers in moonlight and the list goes on and on. Similar is life, its just that we don't enjoy all the moments that makes it boring, lets enjoy every moment, wish you all a happy Diwali, also I would dedicate this to my friend Nagesh who celebrates his birthday tomorrow. Thanks for all your comments and favs
என் இரயில் பயணத்தின் நொடிகள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் ஒரு ஆனந்தம்,
முன்பின் தெரியாவிட்டாலும் புத்தகம் இரவல் கேட்கும் அருகில் இருப்பவர்,
உலக அரசியலை நினைத்து வருத்தப்படும் எதிர் இருக்கைக்காரர்,
எங்கோ வேலை செய்யும் மகனையோ மகளையோ சந்திக்கச் செல்லும் பெற்றோர்,
கடந்து செல்லும் காட்சிகளை வியந்து பார்க்கும் அந்தச் சிறுவன்,
தேனீர் விற்றுக்கொண்டு குறுக்கும் நெடுக்கும் நடந்து செல்பவன்,
கழிப்பறை வாசலில் துண்டை விரித்து அமர்ந்திருக்கும் முதியவர்,
தடதடவென தாண்டிப் போகும் ஆள் அரவமில்லாத ரயில் நிலையங்கள்,
இரவில் பரவிக் கிடக்கும் அந்த நிசப்தம்,
எங்கோ மூலையில் தூக்கத்தில் எழுந்து விட்ட தன் குழந்தையை தூங்க வைக்கும் தந்தை,
ரயில் பாலங்களைக் கடக்கையில் உண்டாக்கும் தாளங்கள்,
நிலவொளியில் மௌனமாய்க் கடந்து போகும் நீர் வற்றிப்போன ஆறுகள்,
இப்படி ஏதோ ஒரு ரயில் பயணத்தின் போதுதான் என்னைக் கடந்து போனாள் அவள்,
ஒற்றை சடை போட்டு, கன்னத்தில் குழி விழச்சிரித்துக்கொண்டு,
ஏதோ ஒரு கவிதைப்புத்தகத்தை படித்துக்கொண்டு,
அவள் இறங்கும் இடம் வந்ததும் மெதுவாய் கலைந்து சென்றாள்,
அந்த கவிதைப் புத்தகத்தின் ஏதோ ஒரு பக்கத்தில் என்னையும் சேர்த்து கடத்திக்கொண்டு,
அன்று என் பயணக்குறிப்புகளெல்லாம் கவிதை,
இன்று வரை என் எல்லா ரயில் பயணங்களிலும் தேடிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்,
என்றோ கண் விழித்துப் பார்க்கையிலோ, சட்டென திரும்பையிலோ,
அவள் என் எதிரே இருக்கமாட்டாளா என்று,
தொடர்கின்றன என் ரயில் பயணங்களும் தேடல்களும்.
