Une photo de nuit et sous la neige de mon vieil ami le réverbère qui est en bas de chez moi. C'est la dernière photo que j'ai de lui (j'en ai fait beaucoup mais publié très peu), il a été remplacé par un autre réverbère, beaucoup plus petit et moins intéressant.

 

Je n'ai pas utilisé de texture, c'est juste la neige qui tombe et un coup de flash (que je n'utilise jamais en temps normal, je crois même que c'est la seule photo avec flash de ma galerie).

This is a night shot of my old friend the streetlight which is in front of my place (i took a lot of shot of it but posted very few). It had been replaced by another streetlight, far smaller an less interesting.

 

I didn't use any texture. It is only snow and built-in flash light (i usualy never use it. I think this photo is the only with flash light in my whole stream).

Para todo los Jordi´s...

Für alle Georg´s, Schorchs...

 

La Diada de Sant Jordi, also known as el dia de la rosa (The Day of the Rose) or el dia del llibre (The Day of the Book) is a Catalan holiday celebrated on April 23 similar to Valentine's Day with some unique twists that show the ancient practice of this day. The main event is the exchange of gifts between sweethearts, loved ones and respected ones--historically, men gave their girlfriends and wives roses, and women gave their boyfriends and husbands a book to celebrate the occasion.

Winter 2005 @ Leslie Spit

I spend alot of time at Leslie Spit seems every winter is getting warmer & warmer the next series of pics are from that winter.

 

Record Breaking Warm Day - 17 January 2005

 

Toronto, Ontario: A breath of Spring in the middle of Winter as Toronto's temperature soars to 18°C (64°F), the highest January temperature recorded here since records began in 1840.

  

Winter's Worst Days - January 22

 

A vigorous Alberta clipper which swept through southern Ontario on January 22 brought treacherous blizzards, blinding whiteouts and dangerously low wind chills. The highest snowfall totals were recorded near the west end of Lake Ontario where easterly winds blew embedded lake-effect squalls inland. Blowing snow created large drifts and reduced visibility to near zero. The OPP reported more than 800 accidents, mostly in the Toronto and Niagara region, and stretches of Highway 401 were closed with whiteouts and black ice.

 

A couple of days later, cold arctic air engulfed Ontario with temperatures dipping to below -25°C in the southern reaches of the province. It was the beginning of the coldest time of the winter. In Kitchener-Waterloo temperatures dipped to -31.1°C, one of the coldest days in its history.

First shot in the middle of the street. There were some "oh crap" moments when I didn't notice cars, but I really needed to capture this scene because it was so beautiful. That car came in just when I was about to go and shoot and kind of went "darn", but I actually like it there now.

 

This is my first shot of my new 52 Weeks. I decided not to do self-portraits because, well, I didn't really like my previous ones. I named this first one "Final Destination" to show I am looking at the end of this 52 weeks, meaning I'll finish it.

 

Oh, and I think this 52 Weeks set will be all HDR.

The European Balloon Festival is the largest hot air balloon festival in Spain and one of the largest in Europe.[1] It takes place every year during the first fortnight of July in Igualada, Catalonia, Spain, a city located within 60 km from Barcelona.

The festival lasts four days (Thursday to Sunday) and attracts thousands of spectators. It includes a hot air balloon competition and recreational exhibitions such as a night glow and fireworks. The flights take place early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when weather conditions are the optimal ones. It also offers visitors the opportunity to fly on a balloon, by booking a flight in advance.

The festival is organized by the Igualada City Council, with technical support from the company Ultramagic, the world's second largest manufacturer of hot air balloons, and Kon-Tiki Balloon Flights, a company specialized in balloon flights.

About this photo: On our last day in Olympic National Park we spent most of the afternoon at Rialto Beach where we walked to "Hole in the Wall" at low tide. When the sun was starting to go down, we settled ourselves at some logs on the beach to enjoy the sunset. My eye fell on this huge log sitting on the beach with a big hole in it...I decided I'd have a closer look and noticed you had a nice little view through this natural window. I just had to take a photo of it!

Some information on Rialto Beach: Rialto Beach is one of the most accessible of the West End beaches. It is also one of the most popular beaches on the Olympic Peninsula. Rialto Beach boosts some of the most awesome views of the Pacific Coast. Just a few miles away from the small town of La Push, Rialto Beach is an easy hike, with Hole-in-the-Wall a popular destination.

 

Rialto Beach starts at the mouth of the Quillayute River and extends 6.5km/4mi past sea stacks and tide pools. The winter months bring heavy storms which can be enjoyable to watch, as well as rewarding. As the beach turns northward, Cake Rock is the massive sea stack that rises far up out of the churning sea. Dahdayla Island is also a sight to see but is much closer to the beach. It is recommend coming at low tide, but you can traverse the beach quite nicely no matter what tide it is.

 

Some information on Olympic National Park: Olympic National Park is located on the Olympic Peninsula west of Seattle and in the most north western corner of the mainland of the USA. This park is such a diverse and amazing place to visit. No wonder they say it's 3 parks in one! You can enjoy the amazing surf and beautiful beaches, you will see a spectacular alpine country dotted with sparkling lakes, lush meadows, glaciers, waterfalls and North America's finest temperate rain forest.

 

Olympic National Park is a wilderness park with much of its interior accessible only by trail. A variety of roads lead off the major Highway (101) to various destinations around the park. There are several scenic drives including the drive to Hurricane Ridge, along the Pacific Coast and through the forested valleys of the Sol Duc, Hoh and Quinault Rivers. This all provide glimpses of Olympic National Park's diversity.

My dear friends, this is my last upload for 2012.

 

As I did in 2010 and 2011, it is time to take a look back.

 

This has been an extremely intense year, with great ups and downs.

Many things happened, some of which provided sheer joy, others extreme sorrow. Some were 'caused' by me, some weren't.

 

Anyway, all these events will be essential to my turning point in 2013.

 

When I take a look at the resolutions for my 2012, I am definitely happy about how this year actually went.

 

I was able, for the first time, to concentrate on monothematic projects; I joined some important contests and photographic meetings, receiving a really positive feedback; I attended the greatest number of exhibition I could imagine and I didn't give up training.

I also improved in architecture photography, and bought an Epson 3880 printer and start to experiment with it.

I couldn't set up a full 'printing system' because of the prohibitive costs associated to it; moreover I couldn't spend all the time I wanted with printing, but I will fix that in 2013.

As for #8, I took very little time with multiple lights setups, but I am approaching still life photography and will be experimenting with multiple lights and eventually get proficient with those during this next year.

 

Time to set out my resolutions for 2013!!! (as always, random order, limited to eight)

  

1) Keep improving myself: study, read, attend museums and exhibitions, listen to music (gotta celebrate Verdi and Wagner's 200th birthday!);

2) Make my agency, Glass Star Agency, up and running at full speed;

3) Approach Still Life and Portrait photography;

4) Keep up with training;

5) Become proficient with printing, framing and matting;

6) Meet some new people with similar interests - Travel;

7) Complete at least two NEW monothematic projects - Enter them in International Competitions;

8) Last but not least: decide about my future (already made some big improvements over last year, but still far away from my goals!)

  

I will work all myself into pursuing those, especially #2 (which will eventually help me solving #8).

 

Anyway, if you want to meet up, I will be in Rome with Michael Diblicek from the 3rd until the 8th of January.

Send me an email with your phone number, I'll be glad to call you back and schedule a meeting!

 

Hope your 2012 has been extremely good; wish you a fantastic 2013 full of joy, happiness and freedom.

Cari Amici,

 

anche per quest'anno è arrivato il momento di 'tirare le somme'.

 

Il 2012 è stato estremamente intenso, caratterizzato da enormi alti e bassi; sono passato da immense gioie ad una situazione più complessa, caratterizzata da un susseguirsi di diversi momenti difficili.

 

Sono sicuro che comunque tutto questo contribuirà alla mia crescita personale ed alla mia svolta nel 2013.

 

Avendo appena letto i proposti per il 2012, non posso che dirmi soddisfatto.

Per la prima volta mi sono concentrato su progetti monotematici, che mi hanno arricchito moltissimo.

Ho partecipato a concorsi e ricevuto i primi importanti riconoscimenti.

Ho speso moltissime giornate in musei, mostre e luoghi magnifici, ho viaggiato quasi quanto avrei voluto e non ho abbandonato l'allenamento.

 

I punti su cui mi vedo più debole sono il numero 1 ed 8: ho acquistato una stampante (Epson 3880) ma non ho avuto il tempo di sfruttarla come avrei dovuto.

Il punto 8, invece, è stato quello che ho maggiormente trascurato.

Nei prossimi mesi comunque (per cause di 'forza maggiore') affronterò la fotografia Still Life ed aumenterò la mia preparazione nella gestione di sistemi a più luci.

 

Visto che il passato è passato, è tempo di elencare i propositi per il 2013:

(ordine casuale)

  

1) Continuare il mio processo di crescita personale: studiare, leggere, visitare mostre e musei, ascoltare musica (anche per celebrare il duecentesimo compleanno di Verdi e Wagner!)

2) Avviare, promuovere e dedicarmi alla mia agenzia Glass Star Agency;

3) Affrontare la fotografia Still Life e di ritratto;

4) Continuare l'allenamento;

5) Perfezionarmi con la stampa, il montaggio e l'incorniciatura;

6) Incontrare nuove persone con gli stessi interessi - Viaggiare;

7) Portare a termine almeno DUE progetti monotematici - Partecipare ad altri concorsi internazionali;

8) Ultimo, ma sicuramente non meno importante: decidere del mio futuro! (ho sicuramente fatto diversi passi avanti dallo scorso anno, ma sono ancora lontano dalla meta)

 

Dedicherò tutto me stesso per seguire questi propositi, specialmente il numero 2 (che sicuramente aiuterebbe a risolvere il numero 8).

 

Ad ogni modo, dal tre all'otto Gennaio sarò a Roma, con Michael Diblicek; se vi trovate da quelle parti, mandatemi una mail con il vostro numero: sarò felicissimo di chiamarvi e fissare un incontro!

 

Spero che il vostro 2012 sia stato estremamente positivo; vi auguro un 2013 fantastico, pieno di gioia, serenità e libertà.

ENGLISH

The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The Red Deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor and parts of western and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Algeria and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red Deer have been introduced to other areas including New Zealand and Argentina. In many parts of the world the meat (venison) from Red Deer is widely used as a food source.

 

Although at one time Red Deer were rare in some areas, they were never close to extinction. Reintroduction and conservation efforts, especially in the United Kingdom, have resulted in an increase of Red Deer populations, while other areas, such as North Africa, have continued to show a population decline.

CASTELLANO

El ciervo común, ciervo rojo "ciervo colorado" o venado (Cervus elaphus) es una especie de ciervo ampliamente distribuida por el Hemisferio Norte. Se han documentado unas 27 subespecies distintas con un rango de distribución que se extiende desde el Magreb, la Península Ibérica y Gran Bretaña hasta gran parte de América del Norte, que se diferencian entre sí por el tamaño, longitud y color del pelo y forma de las cuernas. Las seis subespecies de uapitíes norteamericanos, antaño clasificados en la especie propia Cervus canadensis, se clasifican actualmente como subespecies de Cervus elaphus.

 

El ciervo común es un ciervo de gran tamaño (sólo superado por el alce dentro del conjunto de los cérvidos vivos), con un tamaño ordinario de 160 a 250 centímetros de longitud y un peso en los machos de hasta 200 kilos. Esta especie presenta dimorfismo sexual, siendo las hembras más pequeñas y menos corpulentas que los machos. Los individuos de sexo masculino presentan cuernas que renuevan cada año y, en algunas subespecies, una densa melena de pelo oscuro en cuello y hombros. El color del pelo es normalmente pardo en todo el cuerpo salvo en el vientre y los glúteos, blanquecinos, y puede variar en la intensidad de su tonalidad según los individuos. Las crías de pocos meses presentan una coloración rojiza, con manchas y rayas blancas que les ayudan a esconderse de los depredadores.

Dad's Cameras Inheritted On Black

 

Photochange Day #263: Camera

 

Dad had few beautiful cameras!! We were not allowed to touch!! I still remember the clicks, the rewinding sounds and how we had to stay still for him to focus and him saying "I need your nose" for profile portrait, or "without moving raise your index" for full face individual or family portraits!! When he realized how poor quality prints I had with my automatics/instamatics he gave me his Kodak Retina III C (the lower from the two)!!! The Argus stayed with my brother after dad passed 20 years ago!!!

 

Last year my brother said you can have the Argus if you like you're crazier than I am about photography and cameras!!!

 

Today these two cameras, in their original cases, the way dad had them set and all are showcased in place of honor in my wall unit. Pull them out little while ago, and memories rushed into my mind. It took me few hours to decide should I take a shot? should I post? Here they are a little piece of my past with today's photochallenge assignment.

 

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!

 

Your can still comment on my previous if you like!!

Originariamente, bajo la actual ubicación de la catedral, la Legio VII Gemina había construido termas y otros edificios públicos. Recientemente se han descubierto algunos de estos restos romanos, junto a la fachada sur. Con la reconquista cristiana, son convertidos en palacio real. En el año 916 el rey Ordoño II, que hacía pocos meses había ocupado el trono de León, venció a los árabes en la batalla de San Esteban de Gormaz. Como señal de agradecimiento a Dios por la victoria, cedió su palacio para construir la catedral. Bajo el episcopado de Fruminio II, es transformado el edificio en lugar sagrado.

 

Acoge los restos del rey Ordoño II, fallecido en Zamora el año 924. El templo estaba custodiado y regido por monjes de la orden de San Benito, y es muy probable que su estructura fuera muy similar a la de tantos otros existentes durante la mozarabía leonesa.

 

Nos hablan las crónicas del paso de Almanzor por estas tierras a finales del siglo X, devastando la ciudad y destruyendo sus templos. No obstante, parece que los daños ocasionados a la fábrica de la catedral debieron de ser inmediatamente reparados, ya que el año 999 era coronado en ella, en un acontecimiento lleno de esplendor, el rey Alfonso V. Tras una sucesión de revueltas políticas y de duras empresas bélicas, hacia el 1067 el estado de la Catedral era de suma pobreza. Ello conmovería al rey Fernando I de León, quien, después de trasladar los restos de San Isidoro a León, «se volcó en favores a la misma». Con este rey se inició una época pacífica, cosechando grandes triunfos en la expansión del reino cristiano. Era el momento del florecimiento del románico isidoriano.

 

Con la ayuda de la princesa doña Urraca, hermana del rey, se inicia la construcción de una segunda catedral, acorde con las aspiraciones de la cristiandad románica, y dentro de su estilo arquitectónico. Ocupaba la sede episcopal Pelayo II. Aunque inicialmente románica, su estilo era fundamentalmente gótico, construida en ladrillo y mampostería, con tres naves rematadas en ábsides semicirculares, dedicado el central a santa María, como en la iglesia anterior. Aunque toda ella estuviese ejecutada dentro de las corrientes internacionales, contemplando lo que ha pervivido de su estatutaria, podemos averiguar que tenía su carácter autóctono, utilizándose aún el arco de herradura, al menos como forma decorativa. Fue consagrada el 10 de noviembre de 1073. Es de suponer que en ella trabajasen los mismos canteros que estaban construyendo la Basílica de San Isidoro de León.

 

Esta catedral se mantuvo en pie hasta finales del siglo siguiente. Cuando accede al trono el último rey de León, Alfonso IX, se asiste en la ciudad y en el reino a un importante cambio social, de creatividad artística y desarrollo cultural.

 

La construcción de la tercera catedral se inicia hacia 1205 y su estructura fundamental se finaliza en 1301, aunque la torre sur no se termina de construir hasta el siglo XV. Gran parte del solar se asienta sobre restos romanos, hipocaustos del siglo II, lo que dificultó la buena cimentación de los pilares. La acumulación de humedades y la filtración de aguas ocasionó graves inconvenientes a los maestros. Por otra parte, la mayoría de los sillares de la catedral son de piedra de mediocre calidad, de tipo calizo, con escasa resistencia ante los agentes atmosféricos. Además, la sutilidad de su estilo es un desafío a la materia; los numerosos soportes son sumamente frágiles, las líneas se reducen a una depuración total, de modo que varios arquitectos de la época pusieron en duda que tal proyecto pudiera mantenerse en pie.

  

Interior de la Catedral de León.Éstas han sido algunas de las razones más importantes por las que, ya desde finales del siglo XIV, comenzaron a verse fallos en su arquitectura. En aquella época se resintió al hastial sur, por haberse desequilibrado los pilares torales. Hubo que construir la "silla de la reina", obra del maestro Jusquín. El año 1631 se derrumbaron parte de las bóvedas de la nave central. El cabildo recurrió a Juan Naveda, arquitecto de Felipe IV de España, quien cubrió el crucero con una gran cúpula, rompiendo los contrarrestos del sistema gótico, tan distintos de los del barroco. Tanto el hastial como las capillas del sur volvieron a estar en peligro. Aquél tuvo que ser reedificado en el año 1694. Quiso poner remedio a estos desastres Joaquín de Churriguera levantando cuatro grandes pináculos sobre los pilares del crucero, a principios del siglo XVIII, pero las consecuencias de esta intervención serían nefastas.

 

Por León fueron desfilando grandes arquitectos, como Giacomo de Pavía, mientras los males seguían agravándose. El terremoto de Lisboa del año 1755 conmovió a todo el edificio, afectando de manera especial a los maineles y a las vidrieras. El año 1830 aumentaron los desprendimientos de piedras en el hastial sur y, para salvarlo, Sánchez Pertejo reforzó los contrafuertes de toda la fachada.

 

El cabildo temió un desenlace fatal, cuando el año 1857 comenzaron nuevamente a caer piedras de las bóvedas. Intervino entonces la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, y el gobierno encargó las obras a Matías Laviña. Éste se dispuso a desmontar la media naranja y los cuatro pináculos que la flanqueaban, pero el peligro de un total hundimiento se hacía más inminente. A su muerte se responsabilizó de las obras Hernández Callejo, quien pretendía seguir desmontando el edificio, cuando fue cesado en el cargo. Con los proyectos de Laviña, continuó la restauración Juan Madrazo el año 1869. Éste era un gran medievalista, buen conocedor del gótico francés. Modificó notablemente la disposición de las bóvedas, volvió a rehacer desde la arcada el hastial del sur y planificó todo el templo tal y como lo encontramos hoy. A Juan Madrazo le sucedió en el cargo Demetrio de los Ríos el año 1880. Purista, como el anterior, continuó dando a la catedral el aspecto primitivo, según su pensamiento racionalista, y desmontó el hastial occidental, que había sido hecho por Juan López de Rojas y Juan de Badajoz el Mozo, en el siglo XVI. A su muerte fue nombrado arquitecto de la catedral Juan Bautista Lázaro, que concluyó los trabajos de restauración arquitectónica en la mayor parte del edificio, y el año 1895 emprendió la ardua tarea de recomponer las vidrieras. Estas llevaban varios años desmontadas y almacenadas, con grave deterioro. Fue ayudado por su colaborador, Juan Crisóstomo Torbado.

 

El 27 de mayo de 1966 un incendio arrasó toda la techumbre de las naves altas.

 

En las últimas décadas se está trabajando con gran intensidad en el refuerzo de las estructuras y suelos y el tratamiento de la piedra con las más novedosas técnicas, en un esfuerzo por conservar para la Humanidad esta maravilla arquitectónica.

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, Paris (tortured by my HDR attempt)

 

.

>> Some interesting facts:

1. Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch built between 1806-1808 to commemorate Napoleon's military victories of the previous year.

 

2. The monument is 63 feet (19 m) high, 75 feet (23 m) wide, and 24 feet (7.3 m) deep

 

3. The 21 feet (6.4 m) high central arch is flanked by two smaller ones, 14 feet (4.3 m) high

 

4. Around its exterior are eight Corinthian columns of granite, topped by eight soldiers of the Empire

 

5. The arch is derivative of the 'Septimius Severus' triumphal arche in Rome

 

6. The quadriga atop the arch is a copy of the so-called Horses of Saint Mark that adorn the top of the main door of the St Mark's Basilica in Venice.

 

7. The Quadriga sculpted by Baron François Joseph Bosio depicts Peace riding in a triumphal chariot led by gilded Victories on both sides.

 

8. The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is at the eastern end of the so-called Axe historique ('grand historic axis') of Paris, a nine-kilometre-long linear route which dominates much of the northwestern quadrant of the city.

Vilanova de Sau és un municipi de la comarca d'Osona. Limita amb la comarca de la Selva. El Pantà de Sau i les Guilleries ocupen part del seu paisatge. Està situat a la dreta del riu Ter. El Pantà de Sau, del municipi, porta molts turistes ja que es practiquen molts esports d'aigua. Sau fou una demarcació formada per cinc parròquies:Sant Romà de Sau, Sant Pere de Castanyadell, Santa Maria de Vilanova, Sant Andreu Bancells i Sant Martí de Querós, agrupades entorn del castell de Corneli o Conile, documentat al 917. Era una zona rural poc habitada que s'agrupava la voltant del riu Ter. El nom de Sau passà als primers senyors, en Ramon Borrell de Sau al segle XII, estinguint-se aquesta línia al segle XV que passà als Cabrera per enfeudament. També al segle XV apareix documentat el senyor de Savassona fins el darrer baró de Savassona, en J.F. Ferrer de Llupià (1764-1826). Durant els segles XVII i XVIII la població augmentà, fins a les 167 famílies del 1782. El nucli de Vilanova, a l'entorn de l'esglèsia, fou el que adquirí més vitalitat i per això és el que constitueix la capital del terme municipal. De mitjans segle XIX fins al 1930 es perdé geirebé la meitat de la població, només revifada durant l'època de la construcció del pantà. Un cop acabat, el despoblament ha estat progressiu i força important. El 1992 hi havia 309 hab., 210 a Vilanova de Sau, 75 a Sant Romà de Sau, 14 a Sant Pere de Castanyadell i 10 a Sant Andreu de Bancells.

El 1962 s'inaugurà el pantà i el poble de St. Romà va desaparèixer sota les aigües. El poble, no obstant emeregeix de les aigues en èpoques de sequera, destacant-ne el campanar i l'esglesia i les restes del cementiri. Vilanova de Sau, en canvi, va créixer i l'antic poble rural ara combina la història amb la creació d'un centre de serveis dedicats a l'oci i el turisme.

 

Vilanova de Sau is a municipality in the county review article. It borders the region of La Selva. The Sau and Guilleries occupy part of the landscape. Located right by the River Ter. The Sau, the municipality has many tourists as they practice many water sports. Sau was a demarcation consisting of five parishes: Holy Roman Sau, St. Peter Castanyadell Santa Maria Vilanova, Sant Andreu and Sant Martí Bancells Querós, grouped around the castle or Conile Cornelius, documented in 917. It was a very rural area inhabited grouped around the River Ter. The name of the first ladies went Sau, Sau Ramon Borrell in the twelfth century, estinguint to this line that went to the fifteenth century by enfeudament Cabrera. Also in the fifteenth century the lord of Savassona previously documented to last Baron Savassona in JF Llupia Smith (1764-1826). During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the population grew, to the 167 families in 1782. The town of Vilanova, around the church, which was acquired for more vitality and that is what is the capital of the municipality. From mid-nineteenth century until 1930, lost geirebé half the population, only revifada during the construction of the reservoir. Once finished, the progressive depopulation has been pretty strong. In 1992 there were 309 inhabitants., 210 in Vilanova de Sau, 75 Sau San Roman, 14 at St. Peter Castanyadell and 10 in San Andres de Bancells. In 1962 the reservoir was opened and the people of St.. Roman disappeared under water. The people, however emeregeix water in times of drought, stressing out the bell tower and the remains of the church and cemetery. Vilanova de Sau, however, grew and the old rural town now combines history with the creation of a service center dedicated to leisure and tourism.

Ibiza (Catalan: Eivissa [əjˈvisə])[p] is an island in the Mediterranean Sea, 79 kilometres (49 miles) off the coast of the city of Valencia, in eastern Spain. It is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, an autonomous community of Spain. Its largest cities are Ibiza Town (Catalan: Vila d'Eivissa, or simply Vila), Santa Eulària des Riu, and Sant Antoni de Portmany. Its highest point, called Sa Talaiassa (or Sa Talaia), is 475 metres (1,558 feet) above sea level.

 

While it is one-sixth the size of nearby Majorca, Ibiza is over five times the size of Mykonos (Greece), or ten times the size of Manhattan Island. Ibiza has become famous for the association with nightlife and the electronic music that originated on the island. It is well known for its summer club scene which attracts very large numbers of tourists, though the island's government and the Spanish Tourist Office have controversially been working to promote more family-oriented tourism.

 

Ibiza is the home of the noted port in Ibiza Town, a popular stop for many tourists and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1]

 

Ibiza and the nearby island of Formentera to its south are called the Pine Islands, or "Pityuses".

Mmmm, always a favorite! Tried out a new recipe from VegWeb and it's definitely a keeper. =)

 

Cinnamon Rolls

 

Ingredients:

 

For the Dough:

1 cup warm soy milk

1 package or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/2 cup organic granulated sugar

1/3 cup melted butter substitute (Earth Balance is good)

egg substitute to equal 2 eggs

4 cups all-purpose flour (or as needed)

1 teaspoon salt

 

For the Filling:

1 cup brown sugar

2 1/4 tablespoon cinnamon

butter substitute to help the filling stick

 

Directions:

 

Place the yeast, a pinch of the sugar, and the warm soymilk in a large mixing bowl (I use a Kitchenaid). Let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy. Add the melted butter substitute, granulated sugar, egg substitute, half the flour, and lastly the salt. Stir on low with the paddles attachment on until the ingredients are incorporated, about a minute. Add the rest of the flour in two intervals (I'd switch to the dough hook here and reserve some of the flour - add only as much as needed for good dough consistency). Knead it for about 3 minutes until it's soft and pliable. Let rise for 1 hour (or until double in size).

 

While the dough is rising, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl.

 

Once the dough has risen, flour a clean surface as needed and roll the dough out into a rectangle about 16"x21". The dough should be about 1/4-1/8 inches deep. Spread on the butter substitute on the top side to coat (leaving about half an inch on one long side for sealing the dough once rolled), sprinkle on the brown sugar/cinnamon mix to coat. Roll it up width wise, cut into 12 equal lengths (or however many you want) and place them into two cake pans (or large rectangular pan) and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or more. They should be slightly soft when you take them out.

 

Serves: 12

 

Preparation time: about 2 hours

 

The recipe states 12 servings. I cut mine a little over an inch thick (w/floss) and got 17 rolls so it all depends on how thick you want them.

 

These will also freeze very well. Once rolled/cut, place on a parchment-lined tray and place in freezer. Once frozen, they can be stored in ziploc or vacuum bags and you'll be able to bake as many (or as few) as you like later on. Just thaw and let rise before baking. (This can even be done in the fridge overnight - place frozen rolls in lightly greased pan and cover with plastic wrap - spray wrap with cooking spray to avoid sticking - and place in fridge the night before, pop in the oven for a yummy breakfast! =)

Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive.

When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again.

When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.

(Antoine de Saint Exupéry)

 

Not much to add to this, except maybe, why Saint Exupéry TODAY (tonight) and here!?!

EVERYBODY must know the book LE PETIT PRINCE... if you don't; let me know and I'll organise the library bus to bring you a copy!!!

 

I have read and re-read this little booklet in German, French, English and most likely even in Italian - it's easy to understand and it contains 'stuff' to re-think for ages.... it's subtly bringing facts of life to the point and it is so lovingly written that you can't hold anything against the writer - even if you sometimes might want to! It is - in short - probably the most lovable book anybody can find.

 

After having bought copies of a very beautiful CD, read by Will Quadflieg (in German) for my nearly blind mother, my little sister and the children of my bros-in-law, I got a copy of my gift sent back to me by little sis..... and after a very long time I have inserted it in the car CD player, where I listen to it on my way to .... somewhere! It made me aware once again how absolutely wonderful this aviator and writer is expressing himself in his work.

 

These four-leaf-clovers are my latest pride and joy. The make lovely red flowers and if you care to stroll down in the comments, you'll find more close-up shots of those little darlings. I wish all of you who still live through Thursday, A HAPPY GORGEOUS GREEN THURSDAY and to the rest of us a BEAUTIFUL GREEN FRIDAY!

 

For the shutter sisters: Hello..... (sunshine, morning, night, happiness, smiles!)

 

Good night, little princesses, little princes - sleep tight!

This camera deserves a close-up.

 

The last time I was at my parents' house, I raided their camera cabinet. I'm not sure exactly why, but my family (myself included) apparently cannot bear to get rid of any camera, no matter how old. That cabinet is literally like a crypt for old cameras. Some are pretty awesome, like this ridiculously old polaroid, or my mom's old instamatic camera that has been lovingly labeled with her full maiden name using one of those super cool label-makers.

 

Anyway, I stole these two, thinking they'd make for some cool photos. I'm not really all that happy with how either of these turned out, but post-processing does wonders, so I'll deal. Not every day can be perfect, right?

Località la Frua. Piemonte.

 

La Cascata del Toce o La Frua (Frütt Fall in dialetto tedesco walser) è una cascata che si trova nel comune di Formazza in frazione Frua (Uf der Frütt in dialetto tedesco walser); con essa il fiume Toce compie un salto alto 143 m su un reclinamento roccioso di 200 m, con un fiocco d’acqua alla base di 60 m.

 

La cascata del Toce è considerata una delle più spettacolari delle Alpi, sebbene l'intervento umano ne abbia ridotto la portata per gran parte dell'anno. A monte della cascata il Toce forma infatti il lago di Morasco, un lago artificiale da cui le acque vengono captate per il funzionamento delle centrali idroelettriche (in successione) di Morasco, Ponte e Fondovalle. In cima alla cascata, vi è lo storico albergo (1863) che visse la bell’epoque del turismo alpino di inizio secolo.

 

La cascata viene aperta durante il periodo estivo, riprendendo pienamente la propria conformazione naturale. Per arrivare in questo luogo, si percorre l'importante Strada Statale 33 del Sempione che collega Milano con il Confine di Stato di Iselle e giunti a Crevoladossola si imbocca la Strada Statale 659 di Valle Antigorio e Val Formazza che porta appunto alla cascata. Quest'ultima strada è lunga circa 40 km ed in alcuni punti è particolarmente stretta e tortuosa, ma la bellezza della cascata merita certamente una gita.

 

Questo luogo è ricordato dagli appassionati di ciclismo in quanto qua ci fu, a 3 km dall'arrivo della 19sima tappa del giro d'Italia 2003, l'ultimo scatto di Marco Pantani.

If you're the type that likes it large and on black, then be my guest.

 

Today was a mixed bag of emotions.

 

Got up early and took Clarissa to her Montgomery Youth Orchestra auditions at Huntington College. She was so confident and excited when she got there, but that soon turned to self conciousness and doubt. Hopefully she did well enough, but I guess we'll see.

 

Later on we headed off to eat and then to the Halloween store "Spirit" while we waited for Baxter (my dog) to get his hair cut. While at the store I began to laugh until I (quite literally) cried. There was a child not even two years old who picked up a "zombie" baby decoration and began to carry it around. The mother kept telling her that she couldn't have it and that it was "sick". But the child kept going right back to it and picking it up... determined that she was taking it home. I guess you'd have to be there, but I had to leave the store cause I couldn't control myself... it was hilarious to me for some reason.

 

Later on this evening I got sent out to get some tortillas for some quesadillas that Tam was making and apparently my cat stepped out in front of the car while I was pulling out. He made a terrible screeching sound and as soon as I heard him I put it back into drive and pulled forward. By the time I had jumped out of the car he had run off. We searched for about an hour without finding him. I have no idea if he's okay, but I imagine that if he ran far enough for us not to find him, he can't be hurt that bad... I hope.

 

After coming back from the store, I felt horrible and decided to stay outside to watch for him. I saw movement from a house in the cul-de-sac and began to slowly move in that direction. What I saw was a little surprising.

 

After standing still for a few minutes I realized that what I was looking at were 2 rabbits. One was Black and White and the other one was a light brown color. They were beautiful and very charming. I inched ever closer and after a while had gained their trust to the point that they would touch my hand or let me touch them. Once I felt that they could trust me I called the girls to bring some veggies and they all came out (Clarissa had friends over... so it was 5 of us) and fed and pet the rabbits. It was pretty surreal to have wild rabbits in the sub-division just eating out of our hands.

 

It's funny how little things like that can turn the day around.

 

I hope my cat's okay. Tam is really close to him and I just feel sick knowing that I might have hurt him.

 

So this photo... well, I found my Superman shirt in the closet today... how could I not do another shot with it? ;-)

when i was a kid, my parents took my brother and i out to Detroit several times, where my father grew up, to visit with family.

 

i remember staying at my Uncle Henrys house and seeing fireflies for the first time. my brother and I being taken fishing at the lake by Henry. i only recall bits and pieces, but they wonderful trips, due in large part to how wonderful Henry, his wife and sons were.

 

I knew that Henry had grown up with my father in the same house but i didn't fully understand the reasons why until i was an adult.

 

Henry grew up in a small town in Poland with his father, mother, and brother, as well as a large extended family. once a week, his father would send young Henry on a walk down to the post office with a letter for his sister who lived in the U.S.

 

Shortly after the Nazi invasion in 1942, his father and brother attempted to flee to a non-German occupied part of Poland, but never made it. they were exterminated.

 

Henry and his mother moved into a small apartment with his grandparents and several aunts and uncles. the living conditions, though, were horrible. emaciated, lice ridden and many contracted Typhoid. the fear palpable as the Nazi soldiers roamed the streets killing people or torturing them indiscriminately.

 

Henry recalled: "But the soldiers would come at least once a week and they started increasingly to kill people sometimes at the flimsiest excuse, like if you were running or if they started beating you and they would just do it until they killed you."

 

soon, Henry's mother was taken to Treblinka Extermination Camp and was killed there upon arrival.

 

Henry was sent to the first of several concentration and extermination camps, for forced labor, ending up, eventually at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

 

During his time at the camps, and on the Death Marches he was forced to participate in, he witnessed unimaginable atrocities, the extermination of thousands of other Jews as well as being nearly beaten to death several times himself.

 

a few years later, the war ended and Henry was one of those liberated at Auschwitz.

 

he needed to be "sponsored" in order to leave Germany and come to the United States, meaning a family member had to be willing to take him in.

 

He had no family left in Poland, none had survived. but he remembered his many walks down to the post office, carrying the letter from his dad to be sent to Michigan. without realizing it at the time, he had memorized his aunts address. Henry arrived in Detroit shortly after.

 

finally Henry was allowed to leave Germany and moved into my dad's family's home. He was in his late teens when he arrived and my dad, younger by several years, had a new big "brother". Henry lived there for the next several years as he went to college and then medical school. today, Henry is one of the nation's leading Psychoanalysts and has spent his life helping other Holocaust survivors.

With you! <3

I'm so so sorry I have no idea what to title this photo :( AHHH!

            

I really thought every photo would end up as a disaster, I'm thankful they did not.

I tried playing with the lighting using a lamp.

   

I had this feeling I would not be able to come up with a proper photo and end up uploading a crappy one, I hope this isnt crappy, I tried playing with different tones, I hope they look ok on your computer because as usual, I'm having colour problems, it looks pretty fine on my laptop so I hope it looks fine on your screen! :)

     

I'll be uploading the other shots from this shoot, this is my new white wig, I love it! It's so cute and fun!

Christmas is coming! I hope everyone's having fun!

Ryan found a cool spot by his house on this gloomy evening. The original plan was to go to Hollywood and shoot but the weather was just so ugly and cold! So, we went here. It was an abandoned rail road bridge that was tagged up pretty heavily. It was pretty cool but scary at the same time; the bridge was about 50-70 feet above a ditch and the supports looked like they were rotting. Also, some of them were missing, and you could easily fall through if you weren't paying attention to where you were.

 

Unfortunately, this shoot cost me two umbrellas. I was aware of the wind and I was aware I had to weigh my stands down, and I did so. It just so happened the second I lifted one of my bag (weights) off of the stand slightly to get out another umbrella, the wind came with force and, so elegantly, blew my shit down. The second time it happened (to my last working umbrella) the force was great enough to overcome the weight of two stands in my bag. Son of a bitch That's not good because I have a corporate shoot coming up and I'm going to need some umbrellas ASAP. Maybe I'll invest in a softbox too.. any suggestions on an affordable and portable softbox?

 

Hm, anyway I think this is like my third gangster shot. You all probably think I'm dangerous. :)

Please view and listen at the same time!

LETTER from CÍEN to SUN: In English / En Español

CÍEN'S MESSAGE TO SUN:

 

Yey blondy, whassap!! ^^

Wow, you told so many things :D I'll try to reply at everything, hope I don't forget anything important. ò_ó Let's go!

 

Haha, yeah well, I heard that out of Spain, Football Club Barcelona had also several supporters, but I didn't imagine you'd find them at your first day! There's soon a derby Barcelona vs Madrid. I'm pretty sure Yaz won't miss that XD

Anyway... that was not an important thing...

 

A very interesting thing is what you tell me about the country. I really envy you and regret not having insisted to go with you as well to Ireland. It all seems so peaceful, quiet and full of beauty... like that tunnel of branches you mentioned. I'm loving all your photos, really.

 

I'm also loving when you stop to make photos to any apparently insignificant detail, like that couple of horses, or the duck taking off (by the way, that was awesome! You are so skilled!!)... You know, that may seem a nonsense to do that, but it means you are enjoying everything, and you share it with me :)

 

About Sheryl and Yaz, well you know them... they do weird things once in a while. For me it's also hard to understand them when they talk, it's like they are speaking a different language... anyway, I also miss them... :) it was nice to see them at photos too ;) You are very good a photograph, really, I'm very impressed :D

 

I'll love you help me assembling a book with all of my recent designs! We can mix your skills and mine to make a good job :D It was great to read that, you had a magnificent idea!! it's like a present for me to have your help! Thanks!!

Furthermore, I was quite stuck at my inspiration and my drawings didn't flow, but since you are explaining me your adventures I can't stop doodling at all times!! If you love my drawings like you said, you'll see tones when you come back! When I finish this reply I'll take a piece of paper and draw a urban version of your green branches highway tunnel with bended buildings over the street XP

 

Yeah well, I know, Lenn is Lenn after all. With his personality he knows lots of people, but he ain't got many friends... I know he has to change, but it's a long process. Anyway... yeah, Take is a good guy. I'll give him a chance and spend more time with him. He already bought the tickets online. We are going tomorrow to the theater definitely. I'll tell you how was the film ;)

 

And finally, yeah, I know you're the only blond in the house. You know my best is drawing, not speaking... change that “my favorite blond” by just “my favorite” #^_^#

I really miss you, come back in one piece! And watch out that weather, don't catch a cold! :)

Cee ya!

MENSAJE DE CÍEN PARA SUN:

 

Hey rubilla, que passa!! ^^

Vaya, cuantas cosas me has contado :D Intentaré responderlo todo, espero no olvidarme de nada importante. ò_ó Vamos allá!

 

Jaja, si bueno, ya había oído que fuera de españa, el barça tenía varios seguidores, pero no me imaginaba que te los encontrarías el primer día! Pronto habrá un derby Barça vs Madrid. Estoy seguro de que Yaz no se lo querrá perder XD

Es igual... esto no era importante...

 

Lo que sí que es interesante es lo que me cuentas sobre el país. Te envidio muchísimo y me arrepiento de no haber insistido para ir contigo a Irlanda. Parece un sitio tan tranquilo, calmado y lleno de belleza... como ese túnel de ramas que mencionabas. Estoy alucinando con tus fotos, en serio.

 

También me encanta cuando paras a hacer fotos de detalles aparentemente insignificantes, como ese par de caballos, o el pato despegando (por cierto, es una foto genial! Eres muy talentosa!!)... Ya sabes, puede que parezca una chorrada, pero significa que estas disfrutando de todas las cosas, y además las compartes conmigo :)

 

Sobre Sheryl y Yaz, bueno ya los conoces... hacen cosas extrañas de vez en cuando. A mí a veces me cuesta entenderlos cuando hablan entre ellos, es como si hablasen un idioma distinto... En cualquier caso, también les hecho de menos a ellos... :) Ha sido genial verlos en fotos también ;) Eres muy buena en fotografía, de verdad, estoy muy impresionado :D

 

Me encantaría que me ayudases a armar un book con mis últimos diseños! Podemos mezclar tus habilidades con las mías y hacer un gran trabajo :D Ha sido genial leer tu proposición, has tenido una idea magnífica! Muchas gracias!!

Además, últimamente estaba muy atascado con mi inspiración y mis dibujos no fluían, pero desde que estás explicándome tus aventurillas no puedo dejar de garabatear todo el rato!! Si de verdad te gustan mis dibujos como dices, cuando vuelvas vas a poder ver una tonelada! En cuanto acabe esta contestación pienso buscar un cacho de papel y dibujar una versión urbana del túnel verde de ramas sobre la autopista con edificios doblados sobre la calle XP

 

Ya bueno, ya lo sé, Lenn es Lenn después de todo. Con ese carácter conoce a mucha gente, pero realmente no tiene muchos amigos... Sé que tiene que cambiar, pero es un proceso muy largo. En fin... y sí, Take es un buen tío. Le daré una oportunidad y pasaré más tiempo con él. Ya ha comprado las entradas online. Al final al cine iremos mañana. Ya te contaré como ha ido la peli ;)

 

Y por último, sí, ya sé que eres la única rubia de la casa. Ya sabes que mi fuerte es el dibujo, no el habla... mejor cambia ese “mi rubia favorita” por simplemente “mi favorita” #^_^#

Te echo muchísimo de menos, vuelve entera! Y vigila ese frío, no vayas a resfriarte! :)

Nos vemos!

Cíen

St. George Slays the Dragon - Taken in the Village Church in Fenny Bentley on the Tissington Trail in Derbyshire.

 

From the Wikipedia Article: "St George's Day is celebrated by the several nations, kingdoms, countries, and cities of which Saint George is the patron saint. St George's Day is also England's National Day. Most countries which observe St George's Day celebrate it on April 23, the traditionally accepted date of Saint George's death in 303 AD.

 

St George's Day was a major feast and national holiday in England on a par with Christmas from the early 15th century. However, this tradition had waned by the end of the 18th century after the union of England and Scotland. In recent years the popularity of St George's Day appears to be increasing gradually. BBC Radio 3 had a full programme of St George's Day events in 2006, and Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP for Romford, has been putting the argument forward in the House of Commons to make St George's Day a public holiday. Although Saint George is the Patron Saint of England, it is believed that St George was not English and it is not certain that he ever visited England, although legend has it that St George was born in Coventry at Caludon Castle in Wyken, though some say he was born in Cappadocia, an area which is now in Turkey"

 

Close to the town of Ashbourne, Fenny Bentley is a picturesque little village consisting of little more than a school, a pub and the church of St Edmunds possibly dating as far back as the 14th century. The church has an alabaster tomb of the Beresford family. Sir Thomas Beresford had fought at the Battle of Agincourt.

"The Tissington Trail is a bridleway and walk/cycle path in Derbyshire, England. Opened in 1971, and now a part of the National Cycle Network, it runs for 13 miles (21 km) from Parsley Hay in the north to Ashbourne in the south, along part of the trackbed of the former railway line connecting Ashbourne to Buxton. It takes its name from the village of Tissington, which it skirts."

Thursday on black:

 

I'd like to say it's been a good day...Of course I'd also like to say I won the lottery, both of which would be big fat lies...

 

I need a vacation, a break from my family...I love them dearly but handling them 24-7 is too much sometimes.

 

My father, I adore him but his brain is never in his head.

 

My uncle steals my batrhoom for hours at a time. How a man with no hair can spend four hours getting ready is beyond me. Even he admit he will just stand in there and think. What?

 

Of course there's Mom. I can't be in the same room with her lately without it ending in a screaming match. Since her stroke she's always had a temper, but in the past few weeks have been torture. I understand her reasons, I try my best, and do what I can, but when every single conversation ends with her yelling at me and bringing up things about me that she's hated since I was three, it gets to be too much...

 

So lately I'm writing more, escaping as much as I can into the world I'm carefully molding. I can say this, my frustration with them, my anger, my hurt, it does at least fuel my work and in the end, a small twisted part of me will likely be grateful.

 

However, I'm not miserable and I love them. I wouldn't trade them for anyone else, I just need a break.

 

Who wants a panda cat in there house for a while? ;)

"H is for HITMAN"

 

So AriesEffects finished his 365, and somewhere around his 250th photo

i decided i would tribute him by doing my own set of Agent 47 photos.

if you havent seen his work OR his awesome Series

... well, you are just really missing out.

 

Aside from being a really funny,creative guy... he has a style

all his own. I cant even figure out how he gets his images to look

the way they do, but i always know from the thumbnail,its his.

Go congratulate him,and check out his stream.

 

OR ELSE.

 

For TOTW " Alter Ego"

because the hitman games have been one of my favorites,

and not just because we both sport the same hairstyle.

aside from being addictive and awesome, the game really

makes you think thru how to progress thru it.

Ontop of that it has consistently one of the best soundtracks

in any games, thanks to Jesper KId.

 

He has gone on to do the scores for many games,

most notably Assassins creed I and II. me and my brother

have collected almost all of his soundtracks,he kicks ass.

 

big thanks to my brother for helping me with this photoshoot,

he saved me alot of time in setting up the frame.

 

I have wanted to do a shoot like this for awhile,and finally

got to use my spiffy suit again in my 365.

 

(the red tie and the pistols were bought JUST for this tribute. :P)

El rey Joao II ideó una barrera defensiva que consistiría en tres fuertes: el Fuerte de San Sebastián de Caparica, la Torre de San Antonio en Cascais, y una tercera fortificación en Belém.

 

La torre de Belem, originariamente llamada Torre de San Vicente de Belém, en homenaje al patrón de Lisboa, fue construida por el arquitecto Francisco de Arruda, orientado por Diogo Boitaca, que por entonces estaba a cargo de la construcción del Monasterio de los Jerónimos, situado muy cerca de esta. Los trabajos comenzaron en 1514 y finalizaron en 1520.

 

Con el tiempo la estructura fue perdiendo su caracter defensivo original y fue utilizada como aduana, puesto telegráfico, faro y como prisión para presos políticos en el nivel inferior. Algunos historiadores sostienen que debido a su altura y a su ubicación, poco disimulada en el paisaje, la torre fue creada en realidad para funciones administrativas más que defensivas.

 

Si se compara con las clásicas construcciones medievales, mas bien austeras, la Torre de Belem se diferencia por su abundante decoración, que refleja el gusto del rey Manuel I, un estilo que con el tiempo se conocería como "manuelino".

 

Es una torre cuadrangular que se eleva sobre un bastión con forma de hexágono irregular que apunta hacia el río. Una sencilla pasarela permite acceder desde la orilla y tras atravezar un puente levadizo se entra directamente al bastión.

 

La torre tiene una altura de 35 metros y consta de cuatro pisos y terraza, desde la que hay una extraordinarias vistas del río Tajo.

 

Fue declarada Monumento Nacional en 1910.
