22nd October 2007: I posted my first shots on Flickr.

It was a year ago and I couldn't imagine how much it would have changed myself.

For me, Flickr and burning passion for photography have come together. I couldn't say how much I've learnt and keep on learning, my friends, looking at your shots, talking with you. I didn't know what "bokeh", "DoF", "panning" or whatever meant before, and I would have been afraid to use manual mode while shooting, fearing to make mistakes. Then...I felt in love with many photos of yours, not the usual "point-and-shot" photos, but the ones that mean passion, study, willing to learn. I've decided to try myself, with a lot of mistakes, but also growing passion.

I have learnt a lot, I have a lot to learn, and this makes me happy like nothing else, expecially in time of changes and state of uncertainty - the time that I'm living nowadays. It's hard to describe the way I feel when I'm able to take "that" shot I had in mind, no matters if that means attempts, patience, time, sometimes going beyond my own fears (I can overcome vertigo for a shot only!); it's hard, but I know it's the same for many of you. And I know that I'll be always late for lunch or whatever if I go for a walk with my camera, because I'm sure that after a while I will find something that worths a stop for a picture, and then something else, and else...I had never understood how world is beautiful before seeing it through a lens. That's a precious gift that photography (and Flickr, in a way) made to me.

But there's also another gift: and it's you, my friends. Wonderful photographers, and often wonderful people that I was so lucky to find.

 

So: 366 days of Flickr, 366 times thank you.

This collage follows the same template as my Canon EOS Prime Lens collage so comparing lenses between the two should be easy. I am not as familiar with these lenses as I am with Canon's lenses and there is a fair chance I might have left one or two out, if I did I would like to know. Like the Canon lense collage, I divided the lense market into: budget lenses, mid-range lenses, and high-end lenses. It is not as easy to differentiate between high-end lenses as with Canon, because Canon designated their high-end lenses with "LSeries". Just like Canon, all of the telephoto primes are high priced, but I divided them up mainly based on lense speed. New Sony owners should be Aware that there are older Minolta lenses out there that they could buy for their new cameras.

Credo che, in grande renda meglio l'imponenza della cascata.

 

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.

La foto sopra è stata scattata da sopra i gradini della splendida villa che vedete qui sotto,purtroppo non ho potuto visitarla ma ritornerò quando il giardino sarà completamente fiorito.

 

Villa Carlotta.

 

Villa Carlotta è un luogo di rara bellezza, dove capolavori della natura e dell'ingegno umano convivono in perfetta armonia in oltre 70.000 mq visitabili tra giardini e strutture museali. La splendida dimora venne commissionata alla fine del 1600 dal marchese Giorgio Clerici: un edificio imponente, ma sobrio, circondato da un giardino all'italiana con statue, scalee e fontane venne così edificato in una conca naturale tra lago e montagne, di fronte ad uno scenario mozzafiato sulle dolomitiche Grigne e la penisola di Bellagio. Ma fu con Gian Battista Sommariva, il successivo proprietario, che la villa toccò il sommo dello splendore, arricchendosi di opere d'arte e divenendo importante tappa nei percorsi del Grand Tour. Sommariva, imprenditore e collezionista d'arte, acquisì la proprietà di Tremezzo agli inizi dell'Ottocento: egli volle che parte del giardino fosse trasformato in uno straordinario parco romantico e che la villa venisse impreziosita con opere di Canova, Thorvaldsen e Hayez: Palamede, Amore e Psiche, Tersicore, l'Ultimo bacio di Romeo e Giulietta sono solo alcuni dei capolavori che fanno ancora oggi della villa uno dei templi dell'arte ottocentesca. Alla metà del XIX secolo la proprietà venne donata dalla principessa Marianna di Nassau alla figlia Carlotta in occasione delle sue nozze con Giorgio II, duca di Sachsen-Meiningen; quest'ultimo, appassionato botanico, si prodigò per lo sviluppo e l'arricchimento del vasto giardino paesaggistico, oggi di grande pregio storico e ambientale. Favorito, infatti, dalla fertilità del terreno dovuta al deposito da parte di antichi ghiacciai di un sedimento particolarmente acido, il parco di villa Carlotta è celeberrimo per la stupefacente fioritura primaverile dei rododendri e delle azalee in oltre 150 varietà. Tuttavia ogni periodo dell'anno è adatto per una visita: in un itinerario tra antichi esemplari di camelie, cedri e sequoie secolari, platani immensi e essenze esotiche si susseguono infatti sorprendenti incontri: il giardino roccioso, la valle delle felci, il bosco dei rododendri, il giardino dei bambù, il museo degli attrezzi agricoli e straordinari scorci che ben giustificano la fama di questo luogo, fin dall'Ottocento considerato "un angolo di paradiso".

The machines waited for me.

Waited for me to be born and grow young,

For the totempoles of my personality to be carved,

and the slow pyramid of days

To rise around me, to be robbed and forgotten,

They waited where I would come to be,

a point on earth,

The green machines of the factory,

the noise of the miraculous machines of the factory,

Waited for me to laugh so many times,

to fall asleep and rise awake so many times,

to see as a child all the people I did not want to be,

And for suicide to long for me as the years ran into the mirror

disguising itself as I grew old

in eyes that grew old

As multitudes worked on machines I would work on,

worked, ceased to exist, and died,

For me they waited, patiently, the machines,

all the time in the world,

As requiems waited for my ears

they waited,

As naked magazines waited for my eyes

they waited,

As I waited for soft machines like mine

time zones away from me, unknown to me,

face, flesh, all the ways of saying goodbye,

While all my possibilities, like hand over hand on a bat

to see who bats first, end up choking the air—

While all my lives leap into lifeboats

shrieking—"You can't afford to kill time

while time is killing you!"

Before I said Only the religion whose command before all others

is Thou Shalt Not Work shall I hosanna,

Before I said Not only underground are the minds of men

eaten by maggots,

Before I said I would rather be dead

than sweat at the work of zombies,

The machines waited.

 

Now the factory imagines I am there,

The clock keeps watching me while it works

to see how much time it has left.

How much does it get paid? Are coffins the safes

where it keeps its cash?

I see my shadow working on the shadow of a machine.

Everywhere I look I am surrounded by giant machines—

Machines that breathe me till I become stale

and new windows of meat must be opened.

Each year of my name they ran, day and night,

Each time I kissed, each time I learned a new word,

or name of a color, or how to spell boy,

Night, day, without stopping, in the same place running,

Running as I learned how to walk, talk, read, count, tell time

and every time I ever ran alone

pretending to be a wild black stallion,

They ran as I thought never (my eyes in the clouds)

would my future corpse need to be buried

premature in slavery of exchange to contemplate

the leisure vacations of photosynthesis and limnology

and the retirement of tombstone inscriptions

into veils that veronica the earth,

They ran, and I never heard them,

never stopped to hear them coming,

All the times walking to school and back,

All the times playing sick to stay home and have fun,

All the summers of my summer vacations

I never once thought I'd live to sacrifice my dwindling fleshbloom

packaging the finishing touches on America's decay

For money to earn me so I can write in the future

about what I am now, then am no longer,

Shortening the lifespan of planet for 6¢ a minute

so I can elegize the lifespan of beauty and my life,

So I can say before my parents ever met

machines were blaring the same hysterical noise,

So I can say they were waiting for me

every mouthful of food I swallowed,

So I can say they were waiting for me

every time paper eyes of paper nakedness

watched my hands perform the ritual of dreams,

So I can say each second so many die so many are born,

like rapid snapping of fingers, snap, snap,

snap you live, snap you die, snap you live and die again!

Each day of my life is my life!

So, winding my watch before work

with the galaxies of my fingerprints—

each twist of my lifeline a dungeon of ticks—

I wondered was it for this

my hide'n'seek Huckleberryhood?

And pondered how each day goes to its grave single file

without the corpse of what I might have been,

Yet the hour hand is so slow

no one will ever see it move.

 

Each of the great works never written

By those who work in factories so they can write words,

what they say will be great words,

Does not care, does not wait to be written—

At the end of a day's work he who left his mind

eight hours at his writing desk for the repugnance

of metal on metal, noise on noise,

Sits down with his pen as if he had already written

the great words of his dreams.

His feet feel like nursing homes for wheelchairs,

His ears an inferno of crickets,

And he says—"I feel like the grave of someone I loved"

Here is my entry CAT 1 for the Batman contest organised by Eurobrick.

  

This MOC is directly inspired by the Burton's version : Batman returns edited in 1992

Even if Nolan's versions are incredible (can't wait for The Dark Knight Rise..) I really would like to underline Burton's work. All screen shots used for the build are avalaible HERE

 

8 leds (3 in sewers under each round 4X4 reversed, 1 near the police car, 1 in the building, 1 in the batsignal on the roof and 2 behind the 2 satues)

Real fence in the road under the upsidedown 4X4 round plates to have the effect in the sewer with led inside

 

NO PICS HAVE BEEN EDITED in photoshop, they are all direct shots from the camera.

Snow effect has been realised with "iced sugar"

 

On the roof the little bat signal has been made like THIS beetwen two trans dish 4X4 in a reversed tire.

And catsy got Batsy's cap 'cause they spend the night together..... :)

  

MORE PICS in the making off !

Hope you'll enjoy !

Looks good on black but I urge you to view this at larger sizes to full appreciate the very intricate beauty within.

 

I wish I was articulate enough to truly describe the beauty of Wailua Falls on Maui. It’s said it’s the most beautiful of the falls. Just imagine filter light coming through the dense canopy of trees and the swishing of water droplets striking and re-striking all the layers of this falls, its natures true harmony of music. If you ever travel to Maui you MUST make the drive to Hana and even beyond. You are treated to so many beautiful sites that even one trip of 40 miles (one way) there isn’t enough time in one day.

 

Put it on your “bucket list” …. Highly recommended!

Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.

The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.

Look at the whole series!

 

Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a jövő)

Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.

A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

Im Stil der Burg Hohenzollern erbaute Strebemauer, Mühlstrasse in Tübingen.

 

www.tuepedia.de/index.php/Eckhaus_am_Neckartor

  

define:

Zinnen, Zinnenmauer

Zinnen wurden in Antike und Mittelalter oft an Befestigungsanlagen wie Stadtmauern oder Burgen eingesetzt. Im Mittelhochdeutschen wurden sie auch mit Wintberge bezeichnet. Sie waren aber nicht nur wehrhafte Bauteile, sondern auch Bedeutungsträger und herrschaftliche Symbole. Der Zinnenkranz einer Wehranlage galt lange Zeit als weithin sichtbares Zeichen der hohen gesellschaftlichen Stellung der Burgbesitzer, weil diese ihren Sitz bewehren durften.

 

Der Bau der Straße erfolgte 1885-1887 anstelle des ehemaligen Mühlwegs. Der bereits bestehende, aber schmale Geländeeinschnitt wurde etwas verbreitert, die Getreidemühle, Walkmühle und Pulvermühle entfernt. Als Baufirma kam unter anderen Clemens & Decker zum Einsatz. Die Mauerfassade der Hangabstützungen wurde nach dem Vorbild der Burg Hohenzollern ausgeführt. Auf der Westseite ersetzte sie größtenteils die dortige alte Stadtmauer und ist daher, leicht romantisierend, einer Befestigungsmauer mit Zinnen nachempfunden. Ein Stück originale Stadtmauer mit vier Schießscharten ist am unteren Ende noch erhalten. - Ziel des Ausbaus der Mühlstraße war es, sie als "lebhafteste und schönste" Straße zu bauen.

LED-Lampen für Altstadt und Bebenhausen

Insgesamt 400 Straßenleuchten rüstet die Universitätsstadt mit energieeffizienter LED-Technologie aus. Die neuen EcoXCitylights von euroLighting ersetzen veraltete Lampentypen, u. a. stromfressende Hochdruck-Quecksilberdampflampen (HQL), die ab 2015 nicht mehr gehandelt werden dürfen. Statt eines Stromverbrauchs von 80W benötigen die sparsamen LEDs nur 20W und reduzieren so den jährlichen Stromverbrauch von 135MWh auf 49,3MWh. Damit spart die Stadt bis zu 64% Stromkosten und kann ihre Haushaltskassen um rund 12.000 Euro im Jahr entlasten.

hier:

... neu installierten Bodenstrahler an der Mühlstraße

 

Die Kosten für die LED-Umrüstung betragen rund 45.000 Euro. Davon übernimmt das Land Baden-Württemberg etwa 14.000 Euro in Form eines Zuschusses. Die verbleibenden Kosten für die Universitätsstadt in Höhe von 31.000 Euro werden sich in rund zwei Jahren amortisieren.

 

Grundlegende Eigenschaften sollte ein gutes Leuchtmittel haben:

 

* geringer Energieverbrauch

* hohe Lichtausbeute

* gute Lichtlenkung

* Strahlungsbereich: Ideal für das menschliche Auge und Insekten wäre ein Wellenlängenbereich im grünen, gelben und orangen (bis maximal 3000 Kelvin) - hier sind es 4000 Kelvin - (gut für Fotos und Sicherheit).

 

* Licht muss warm-weiß sein

* minimaler Strahlungsanteil im UV-Bereich

 

Leider spielt das Thema Vermeidung von Lichtverschmutzung häufig eine viel zu geringe Rolle!

Neue LED-Leuchten (Preistafeln, etc.) an Tankstellen und in der Werbung unterliegen scheinbar keinerlei Kontrolle bezüglich ihrer Blendung; hier gilt nur Auffallen um jeden "Preis".

 

Auch bei neu geplanter Beleuchtung wird oft viel Licht sinnlos in den Nachthimmel und die Umwelt gestraht, anstatt das Licht nur dorthin zu lenken, wo es gebraucht wird.

 

Die EcoXCitylights sind speziell für den Einsatz in Altstadtleuchten, den sog. “Nachtwächterleuchten”, konzipiert. Dank einfachem Austauschsystem lassen sich die zylinderförmigen LED-Lampen mit Einschraubsockel E27 schnell und unkompliziert in die bestehenden Tübinger Gehäuse installieren.

Ihre Lichtfarbe von 4.000K (neutralweiß) und der 360° Abstrahlwinkel sorgen für eine sichere und angenehme Beleuchtung auf Wegen, Straßen und Plätzen.

I called up Jim Patterson yesterday on his day off to see if he felt like going shooting. I didn't have whatfor in mind, so Jim suggested a place called Pebble Beach near Pescadero. We cruised up the coast, being buffeted by high winds the whole way. We got to the beach, and hopped out of the truck to scope out conditions.

 

Well thanks to the wind, the ocean froth had been whipped up into a foamy meringue which was completely covering the beach in foot-thick, viscous, undulating drifts. I busted out some video to document this weird phenomenon and got totally splattered with foam in the process. :) Ok, so shooting here was totally out of the question due to the high winds and ubiquitous foamy goop. So where to go? Jim and I were shouting at each other over the roar of the wind and decided our only course was to head back south.

 

After some miles we pulled off at a little turn out to scope the rocks just north of Waddell Creek (Jim, is that right? help me out here). The water was coming up pretty high over the rocks so we hemmed and hawed a bit and Jim made the decision to leave, and I made the decision to get in his truck so he didn't leave without me.

 

Further cruising ensued until we pulled into the Panther / Hole in the Wall Beach parking lot. We scrambled down to the beach to see about getting to HITW but the arch way was impassable as the ocean had scooped a good 50 tons of sand out of the floor of the arch and the water was running really high through there. Ok, so north end of Panther it was. But we got up there and the waves were absolutely demolishing the rocks, sending spray shooting 40 feet into the air.

 

Hrm. So back to the south end we went and ended up shooting a bunch of stuff near the arch. And the conditions ended up being pretty awesome; better than I think either of us expected. So we set our D300's rattling as the sun set and came away with some nice images.

Bueno esta foto la llevo pensando desde que me compré la cámara hará ya un año, y era subirme al mirador de la muela para hacer esta foto, después de estar mirando una y otra vez las fotos de esta noche, he conseguido sacarle punta a varias, claro como está tan oscura, buscar la línea del horizonte demasiado complicado, asique en esta foto normal, con mucho negro tanto por arriba como por abajo, he decido hacerla panorámica para contrarrestarlo, y por eso me gusta este resultado, es una pena que terminen las fiestas, pero por otro lado, ya tenía ganas de que terminaran para poder descansar en condiciones normales.

 

También tengo que mencionar y denunciar que el castillo de fin de fiestas ha si dodo de lo más penoso en muchos años, ya que no llegó ni a los 10 minutos, según dicen, por el tema de la crisis, pero si se pueden gastar 30.000€ en hacer una jura de bandera para todo el mundo, luego pones una bandera de España en el Balcón, porque ha ganado la selección española y te señalan con el dedo, pero bueno, dicho queda.

Nota: Foto tal cual sale de la cámara, unos mínimos ajustes, para poder quitar un poco de polución, y mascara de enfoque, quiero dar las gracias a la gente que ha hecho fotos de fuegos artificiales y ha dejado que podamos ver los datos Exif, de ahí he podido sacar una media de los parámetros necesarios para este tipo de fotografías.

[ Lake Wingra, Madison ]One of the greatest wonders of nature is that there are always unexpected surprise. Driving by Lake Wingra in a pretty evening, I found this beautiful blue heron. Perhaps even better was that I had my camera gears with me.

 

A few photographers joined me as they spotted the heron. I hope everyone got something they liked.

V srpnu roku 2018 bylo při rekonstrukci stanice Veselí nad Moravou zavedeno několik nákladních vlaků s cílovou stanicí Dívčice na odvoz vytěženého štěrkového podloží. Použito bylo k sanaci odkališť někdejší úpravny uranových rud MAPE Mydlovary. Na snímku je zachycen Nex 52066 z 20.08.2018 v čele s dvojicí lokomotiv 750.103 + 750.013 a za asistence 742.334 na postrku před stanicí Bzenec.

Le 20 Octobre, une "journée nationale de la solidarité avec les étrangers" a été organisée pour protester contre le projet de loi Hortefeux sur l'immigration et sa disposition controversée sur les tests ADN. A l'appel de 3 associations (RESF, le collectif Uni(e)s contre une immigration jetable - UCIJ- et les Collectifs des sans-papiers d'Ile-de-France - CSP), des manifestations ont rassemblées dans une quarantaine de villes françaises des milliers de participants, dont 4000 à Paris (1500 selon la police) entre Belleville et Palais Royal.

Part of "Sans Papiers

This is a forward-dated version of the accompanying image of the same bus as a Daimler demonstrator. PHP 220 was a Daimler CVG6 with a 1954 Northern Counties H33/28R body. The chassis, which is believed to date from 1952 and initially used in a development role, only became a CVG6 proper in 1954. It was acquired by Cambridge independent Burwell & District Motor Services in 1956, which operated it until 1972. I am grateful to Jim Neale for a copy of the original Daimler photograph. Jim contributed the following recollection to the Old Bus Photos website:

 

"An amusing anecdote regarding the air-change on PHP was of a part-time driver, not familiar with the system parking on the bay in Drummer St. bus station leaving it in reverse gear. (ie not engaging neutral by depressing the pedal after selecting). After tea-break and a slight air-leak when the engine was started the bus was stuck in reverse gear which required half of the bus station to be cleared while the embarrassed driver reversed round far enough to build up enough air-pressure to disengage reverse and then engage a forward gear to proceed" (19-Mar-16).

From My Blog

 

Kyoto is a breeze to navigate. For only ¥500 you can get an unlimited all day city buss pass, and on top of that, they give you a great map with all of the routes and nearby sites. The most difficult part is deciding which shrines to see, and with barely 24 hours to spend in Kyoto and a lot of shrines being closed at night, this made it difficult to see everything that we wanted, but that was our fault. We definitely were able to hit the most famous sites though. I would say the Golden Pavilion is easily one of the most popular sites I see on Flickr. I always thought this was the tackiest shrine I have ever seen, and in person, it still looked tacky, maybe I am just a jerk, but I really wanted to create a different take on this popular site. I think the gold looks perfect when paired with black and white.

 

The only beef I really had with Kyoto is that you are not allowed to use a tripod at most of the sites. Demonicus, my beloved tripod, was none too happy to hear about this. The bastards that made those rules are lucky they avoided confrontation with him as he pretty much hurts anyone he touches.

If you could only, say what you need to say.

 

Clickage right about NOW.

Plumbago tan delicado y sutil. Me encanta. En Argentina, lo llamamos Jazmín del país.

 

La esencia de Plumbago forma parte del set Flores Africanas de Andreas Korte

shop.phiessences.com/index.php?language=es&cat=c6_Afr...

 

y a continuación la descripción:

 

4. PLUMBAGO (Plumbago auriculata)

El plumbago es un arbusto de entre 2 y 3 metros de altura que crece sobre suelos pedregosos. Sus brotes se ramifican con solidez produciendo gran cantidad de flores. Los ramilletes están compuestos por múltiples florecillas de tonos entre azul cielo y claro. Las flores se abren en forma de estrella y están formadas por cinco pétalos, lo que desde la numerología se considera como un símbolo de los cinco sentidos.

Efecto de la esencia: La esencia de plumbago aporta serenidad para reflexionar sobre antiguos problemas. Ayuda al individuo a arraigarse y estimula el proceso de liberación.

Efecto de la esencia sobre el cuerpo: Esta esencia puede ser un gran compañero de viaje en procesos de desprendimiento físico. En el plano energético, esta esencia contribuye a perder peso; lo que puede ser especialmente beneficioso para aquellas personas que a pesar de seguir un régimen a duras penas adelgazan. La flor del plumbago corresponde al chakra de la garganta y su imagen se ha introducido con éxito como complemento en tratamientos de logopedia.

Efecto de la esencia sobre el ánimo: A menudo, a las personas que tienen que hacer frente a muchos compromisos, les cuesta bastante limitarse a dejar que las cosas pasen. “Llevan una vida caracterizada por una elevada emotividad, pudiendo sentirse terriblemente contrariadas cuando las cosas no ocurren tal como habían previsto. La esencia de plumbago nos ayuda a dejar atrás los sentimientos de desengaño. En cierta medida despierta en nosotros la capacidad de dejar que los acontecimientos sigan su curso.”

Efecto de la esencia sobre la mente: La esencia estimula nuestra apreciación de nosotros mismos y nos aporta integridad. Podremos ser fieles con nosotros mismos y expresarnos tal como somos. En este sentido, desarrollaremos estructuras mentales definidas que nos servirán de «indicaciones» para realizarnos. Las personas que hasta ahora estaban acostumbradas a subordinarse a los demás y a sentirse inútiles, encontrarán en esta esencia un complemento constructivo.

Efecto de la esencia sobre el espíritu: Esta esencia nos permitirá resolver antiguos problemas y, por ejemplo, adquirir conocimientos a través de la meditación que nos permitan seguir adelante. Sentiremos un gran alivio en los procesos de desprendimiento que nos permitirá reorganizarnos en todos los planos.

Afirmación: Me deshago de los problemas del pasado y dejo la puerta abierta al flujo de los acontecimientos. En esto reside la fuerza de ser yo mismo.

I'm quite tired. The week has been tough. At Wednesday, I was in school about from 8 am till 6 pm. Then I quickly ate something and went to job and leaved there at 9 pm. When I was coming back, the banks of the Aura river just looked amazing as the trees were completely white. The whiteness is derives from the severe frost which suddenly warmed up. That doesn't happen often. I just had to pick up my camera gear (rucksack and tripod) from home. Then I packed all the gear in my back and cycled back to the river. I took some photos (eg. this photo), called to Anssi and then we took a short photowalk. It was midnight when I got back home. Then I answered and read some e-mails and took a shower. I went to sleep after 1 am. Then next day back to school at 8:30 - that's tough, hopefully this photo is worth everything... :D

 

By the way, I and Anssi weren't the only ones photographing the wonderful winter scenes. I saw three guys with tripods and cameras merely on the way from home to this spot! That's not in any way usual here close to 10 pm in the middle of the week. (:

Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is America's first national park. Located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, it is home to a large variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. Preserved within Yellowstone National Park are Old Faithful and a collection of the world's most extraordinary geysers and hot springs, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

Yellowstone contains approximately one-half of the world’s hydrothermal features. There are over 10,000 hydrothermal features, including over 300 geysers, in the park.

Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,472 square miles (8,987 km²), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano; it has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining, nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone.

Another shot from Sunday morning out with the Ramble with Amble gang. As i had took many shots of the groyne in my earlier post i decided i would head for the eroded outlflow structure posts up towards the pier on Blyth Beach. As i splodged back to dryish sand i nnoticed that it was very close to sunset and began running as its quite a distance across to them and also i could do with shedding the winter flab lol. Anyhoo half way there i was dying and as i turned the sun broke the horizon! Not one to lose an oppurtunity i thought what the hell and planted the tripod if not only to rest on it haha. I took 2 shots here at different exposures with some blending in mind. Back in Photoshop i have opened both exposures then unveiled the darker exposure in the horizon area using a 50& Opacity right on the horizon then faded it back with a 30% opacity either side of the central area. Ive had to drop saturation abit to try and control the sun (must get a Reverse Grad) and messed a touch with curves and an unsharo mask.

What a morning this was! Thanks again to all of the Ramble Posse for being so friendly and helpfull and sorry for uploading yet another Blyth shot as youre all probably sick of them haha.

 

Location i shot from... The 2 areas i ran between are at the very bottom to very top of this Flash Earth shot VVV :O

Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.

The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.

Look at the whole series!

 

Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a jövő)

Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.

A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

En tu cuerpo flor de fuego

tienes paloma,

un temblor de primaveras,

palomitay,

un volcán corre en tus venas.

 

Y mi sangre como brasa

tienes paloma,

en tu cuerpo quiero hundirme

palomitay,

hasta el fondo de tu sangre.

 

El sol morirá, morirá,

la noche vendrá, vendrá

Envuélvete en mi cariño

deja la vida volar

tu boca junto a mi boca

paloma, palomitay.

¡Ay! paloma.

 

En tu cuerpo flor de fuego

tienes paloma,

una llamarada mía

palomitay,

que ha calmado mil heridas.

 

Ahora volemos libres ♪♫

tierna paloma

no pierdas las esperanzas

palomitay,

la flor crece con el agua.

 

El sol volverá, volverá,

la noche se irá, se irá.

Envuélvete en mi cariño

deja la vida volar

tu boca junto a mi boca

paloma, palomitay.

¡Ay! paloma.

Taken in NC last summer: the summer of millions of butterflies, everywhere. This one old butterfly stayed all afternoon, fluttering around me, and drinking out of my hummingbird feeder. I've never seen a butterfly do this ever, other than this one. My 92 year old mom died, almost a year ago, peacefully, and beautifully, full of life and wisdom, until the end. Before she died, she said she'd tried to find a way to let me know her spirit still was with me, maybe by sending me butterfly kisses. I was looking for spiritual butterfly kisses, not actually a flood of butterflies, and real kisses. But what I got was tons of butterflies, including a visit by this very special one.

 

On her birthday, I was walking in the woods, thinking, where are my butterfly kisses! All of a sudden, there were tons of butterflies around me. Never before or after have I seen more than a very rare one butterfly in the woods. They are all over around the flowers in more open areas, but not present much in the deep shade in the woods. On Mom's birthday, I was surrounded in the woods. As I asked the question-- so where are my butterfly kisses? -- I "heard" an answer. "Haven't you noticed the butterflies!!"

 

Then back at home, this old battered butterfly showed up at my hummingbird feeder, as if I needed a stronger message. It hung out with me all afternoon on my porch!

Madrugada de Sábado 10 a Domingo 11 y en el cielo inmenso la luna más Grande y brillante de 2009, a mi me parecía el faro de Matxitxako....... :-S

 

A finales de diciembre pasado se pudo ver la Luna más grande y brillante de los últimos quince años.

 

Por si en aquella ocasión alguien se perdió el fenómeno, la pasada noche del sábado 10 de enero se pudo ver la Luna llena casi un 15% más grande y con un 30% más de brillo de lo normal. Ha sido la Luna llena más grande de 2009. ¿Por qué? El astrónomo Johannes Kepler explicó el fenómeno hace ya cuatro siglos.

 

La órbita de la Luna alrededor de la Tierra es elíptica y tiene un lado ubicado 50.000 km más cerca de la Tierra que el otro. La mejor ocasión para observar este fenómeno, aconsejan los astrónomos, se produce cuando la Luna se encuentra cerca del horizonte.

 

Los astrónomos llaman "perigeo" al punto de máximo acercamiento de la órbita de la Luna a la Tierra y es en ese punto donde la Luna estará este fin de semana. Cuando la Luna se observa cerca del horizonte provoca una ilusión que la hace ver más grande de lo normal. Más aún cuando ésta se asoma entre árboles, edificios y otros puntos de referencia en tierra.

Description

Designed by Donald L. Grieb Associates, Architect, the Conservatory is composed of three beehive-shaped glass domes that span 140 feet (43 m) in diameter and are 85 feet (26 m) high. They are properly referred to as the world's first conoidal domes. They cover 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of display area and were constructed in stages from 1959 to 1967. Locally, they are commonly called the "three-breasted lady".

Connecting the three domes is a central lobby area, which was extensively redesigned in the summer of 2008. A smaller service dome behind the Conservatory holds replacement plants and an orchid collection. This section is not open to the public.

 

Show Dome

The Show Dome opened in December 1964. It hosts four seasonal shows and one holiday exhibit held annually in December for visitors to enjoy. Each show has a theme chosen based on cultural (such as Japanese, German and French), literary (Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol"), or historical interest (Colonial Williamsburg and the History of Herb Gardening, for example). In most recent years, the Winter Show has featured an extensive garden railway display put on with the cooperation of many Wisconsin Model Railroad club members. It has become one of the most popular displays during the year and is one of the largest indoor Garden Railroad displays in the Midwest.

 

Tropical Dome

The Tropical Dome opened in February 1966. The Tropical Dome features nearly 1,000 species of plants, including many economically important fruit bearing plants such as banana, papaya, ackee, guava, avocado, and cacao. One of the cacao trees is over 60 years old and was transplanted from the old Conservatory. It still sets fruit each year. Hardwoods include big-leaf, little-leaf, and African mahoganies, ebony and lignum vitae. A rare curare vine can also be found growing.

The dome is seasonally decorated with a wide variety of blooming plants, including a number of award winning orchids. The center of the Dome is dominated by a large kapok tree. It is one of the tallest trees under glass. At one time, its height was up to 95 feet (29 m) high, but is now kept at a more manageable 60 feet (18 m). In addition to the plants, the Tropical Dome is home to a number of colorful birds.

 

Arid Dome

The Arid Dome opened in November 1967. It displays a wide variety of plants from the Americas and Africa. The American section contains a large number of plants native to the Sonoran Desert, including shrubs, trees, annuals and bulbs, as well as the familiar cacti. The African section has aloes, crassulas, euphorbias, along with the unusual Welwitschia plant, which has only two continuously growing leaves and may live for over a thousand years.

Another section hosts the succulent flora of Madagascar and includes plants such as Euphorbia, Pachypodium, Adenia, Didierea, Alluaudia, and Operculicarya. Many of them were grown from seed obtained in Madagascar. This area was formally dedicated on September 8, 1984 by Leon Rajaobelina, the Ambassador from Madagascar.

In August 2006, an Encephalartos ferox produced a double red-colored cone. It is only the second time in over 30 years this has happened. The cones are expected to last several months, most likely until spring brings warmer weather.

The Conservatory was closed during the summer of 2008 to facilitate the replacement of 800 cracked glass panels. The lobby was remodeled and a $500,000 donation allowed for a new external and internal lighting system. The Conservatory re-opened to large crowds on October 20, 2008. A series of concerts was held on Thursday nights through November. Several other improvements include a re-configured parking lot, outside landscaping and a new educational center scheduled to open in fall of 2009. Future plans call for a greenhouse complex at the rear of the Conservatory to replace current off site facilities.

About this photo: It's been pretty cold the last month and we have been blasted by serious winter weather, which we don't have very often. I live about 15km from downtown Vancouver in one of the suburbs and at a higher location, so we have been getting lots of snow. We must have about 2 feet (50-60cm) on the ground. I was finally able to get out of my back alley a few days ago, so I have been taking advantage of it as the weather was beautiful. Very cold (-2C during the day...yes that's very cold for Vancouver) but it has been sunny.

 

Yesterday I decided to go to Grouse Mountain as I have a pass for a year to go up with the gondola. The views were amazing and as I am walking around I am in awe of what all these skiers and snowboarders get to see when enjoying their favourite sports up here. Wow, the view of the city down below is just amazing as you can see in this photo.

Some information about Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver: Grouse Mountain is both a resort and an attraction as well as a popular North Vancouver year-round mountain playground. There’s no better view of Vancouver’s North Shore and the city of Vancouver than the one you’ll see from the famous Grouse Mountain Skyride, an aerial tram that takes visitors up the mountain 365 days a year.

 

The mountaintop adventure begins as you get off the Skyride where you arrive at the Peak Chalet. You’ll find a variety of dining and shopping options, as well as the Theatre in the Sky. Grouse Mountain has an exceptional collection of award-winning dining high above the city. The Observatory is the crown jewel of the resort’s restaurant collection.

 

Summertime on Grouse Mountain is great time for going on hikes, watching a lumberjack show, visiting the grizzly bear habitat, enjoy a helicopter tour, zipling, paragliding, watching a Birds of Prey demonstration and so much more. You can enjoy movies at the Theatre in the Sky about the history of Grouse Mountain and the bears. Winter on Grouse Mountain includes great skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and ice-skating. This is a year round destination and has something for everybody to enjoy and it's only located about 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver.

LOTUS is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. She is 92 feet long with a beam 18 feet and a draft 5.5 feet. She displaces 102 tons. She was designed by naval architects Lee and Brinton, and built in the Sloan Yard, Seattle , Washington. LOTUS was launched in May, 1909.

 

Built to cruise the Inside Passage of the Pacific Northwest, LOTUS was built for Maurice McMicken, attorney, legal counsel to the legislature of the State of Washington, publisher of the Seattle Post Intelligencer Newspaper, sportsman and civil leader. He cruised her extensively in the waters of the Inland Passage between Olympia WA, through British Columbia and as far north as Alaska.

"LOTUS features a strongly Edwardian design ethic, with the chandeliers, claw-foot tubs, mahogany inlays, and exposed beams of the same sort found in homes built in that era. Her interior has been remarkably preserved, with nearly all the original wood and fixtures from the main cabin forward. The galley has been modified to enclose the once-open engine room space, and to accommodate modern appliances and fixtures. Above, in the pilothouse and on the upper deck, wonderful 360-degree views are afforded from beneath an awning extending the length of the deck."

Cathedral of Cologne

Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen

Germany

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

 

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria) is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, and is under the administration of the archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture, and of the faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

 

The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius". Cologne Cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Cathedral, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world.

 

The choir of Cologne Cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault.

 

Construction of the Gothic church began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete – a period of over 600 years. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its two towers are 157 m tall.

 

Cologne Cathedral, despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe", as was befitting a worship-place of the Holy Roman Emperor and the traditional shrine of the Three Kings.

This amazing Tugboat is a veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack, 7 December 1941. She served valiantly during the attack, operating without stopping, from that Sunday morning until Wednesday, fighting fires, rescuing sailors, saving the USS Oglala by pushing her away from the doomed Arizona, and helping the battleship Nevada to ground herself to avoid sinking in the Pearl Harbor entrance channel. She fought the fires on the burning Battleships USS Arizona www.navsource.org/archives/01/013940b.jpg and USS Nevada upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/USS_Nevada_2n....

HOGA and her crew received a special citation from Admiral Chester Nimitz for her heroic work in those dark days. In the following link she is shown with the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) at Pearl Harbor after the Battle of Coral Sea, 27 May 1942. After repairs, Yorktown departed on 30 May to take part in the Battle of Midway. The tug Hoga (YT-146) is in the center foreground. The mainmast of the sunken USS Arizona (BB-39) is visible in the distance, just right of Yorktown's stern www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/g20000/g21931.jpg .

 

She later went on to serve the City of Oakland as a fireboat from 1948 to 1994! She is currently awaiting movement to Little Rock Arkansas to serve her days out as a museum ship, befitting her 60 years of continuous service. The ship was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

Many old ships -- even WWII-era "Liberty Ship" cargo ships -- simply lull Now gone, scrapped in the brackish water awaiting scrapping..... or maybe someone will intervene and restore a after no one intervened to turn another 'has-been' into a revered floating museum, such as the nearby.....

For an interactive MAP of The Fleet and MORE INFO From The Mothball Fleet Pool, click on this link: NOTE: Last viewed 11/29/2019, so it could have changed or 'disappeared' since then. It is a fact that the majority of ships are gone; maybe 3 (?) remain.

As of April 2014, The Hoga was moved out of the mothball fleet to the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard (Vallejo, California) for hull repairs and painting. The Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum shows her on their website, but I couldn't see her on a Google map. As far as I know she's still at Mare Island. It all comes down to money.

 

Happy UPDATE Post Decommissioning! On July 28, 2005, the United States Navy officially transferred USS Hoga to the City of North Little Rock. On November 23, 2015, Hoga arrived at the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum in North Little Rock, Arkansas. aimmuseum.org/uss-hoga/

Si recorres sosegadamente las calles y plazas de La Alberca, te irás encontrando, viajero, con atractivos rincones y perspectivas, en los que resalta una arquitectura popular levantada a base de piedras y geométricos entramados de madera.

 

Destacan los dinteles cincelados con fechas de fundación de las casas, con inscripciones, signos y anagramas religiosos, que quieren ser profesión visible de fe.

 

Cada una de las plantas superiores va sobresaliendo sobre la inferior, hasta llegar casi a tocarse los aleros de los tejados de las casas que se hallan frente a frente, lo que hace que en las calles se produzca un curioso juego de luces y sombras.

 

Se ha dicho que la estructura urbana de La Alberca es la de una judería, por lo intrincado, laberíntico y secreto de sus calles. Pero tampoco han faltado quienes, al recorrer el pueblo, lo han asociado con los arrabales de Damasco.

 

La Alberca es así la unión, a lo largo de los siglos, de las culturas cristiana, islámica y judaica.

 

Y no debes, visitante, dejar de ver la Plaza, y de detenerte en ella. Con sus fachadas recorridas por dos series de balcones, con la luz de la cal, con sus soportales e hileras de columnas graníticas y con el crucero presidiéndola. Es, sin duda, el eje central de La Alberca.

Lumbier, Navarra (Spain).

 

View Large On White

 

ENGLISH

The Foz de Lumbier is carved out of the limestone rock by the river Irati at the western end of the Leyre range of mountains, at the foot of the Navarrese Pyrenees. It is one of the most spectacular gorges in Navarre, a landscape created over millions of years by the waters of the river Irati, which have left their mark on this sanctuary of nature day by day. The gorge was declared a Nature Reserve in 1987.

 

Lumbier is a narrow and small gorge, just 1,300 metres long, but of spectacular beauty. Its vertical walls reach a maximum height of 150 metres and large birds of prey live in the cracks and ledges, with species such as griffon vultures whose flights will accompany you in your visit to the gorge. It is also a refuge for foxes, boar, badgers and owls, and is strewn with gall and kermes oaks and bushes such as thyme, lavender and gorse that hang from the cracks, vegetation that is transformed into woods of poplars, willows and ash trees at the entry and exit of the gorge.

 

In contrast to many other canyons, you can walk through Lumbier along an easy track that runs along the bottom of the cliffs for 2.6 kilometres. The route was created for the old Irati train (the first electric train in Spain) that linked Pamplona with Sangüesa between 1911 and 1955.

 

The signposted path runs along the river and crosses the rock through two tunnels (206 and 160 metres long) that do not have artificial light. Towards the end of the path the route goes around the rock and reaches the remains of the Puente del Diablo (Devil's Bridge), which was built in the 16th century with a raised arch 15 metres above the river. It was destroyed by the French in 1812 during the War of Independence, and owes its name to a legend that says that its builder asked the devil for help to finish it.

CASTELLANO

La foz de Lumbier es un desfiladero excavado por el río Irati sobre la roca caliza en el extremo occidental de la sierra de Leire, al pie del Pirineo navarro. Es una de las gargantas más espectaculares de Navarra, un paisaje labrado a lo largo de millones de años por la acción del río Irati que, día a día, sigue marcando su huella en este santuario de la naturaleza, reserva natural desde 1987.

 

La de Lumbier es una hoz estrecha y pequeña, de 1.300 metros de longitud, y de una belleza espectacular. Sus paredes verticales alcanzan en su cota máxima 150 metros de altura, y en sus grietas, roturas y repisas viven grandes rapaces, entre los que abundan los buitres leonados, cuyo vuelo le acompañará en su visita al desfiladero. La foz, que también sirve de refugio para zorros, jabalíes, tejones y alimoches, está poblada de quejigos y coscojas, además de arbustos como tomillo, espliego y ollaga que se cuelan por las grietas, vegetación que se transforma en bosques de álamos, sauces y fresnos a la entrada y salida de la foz.

 

A diferencia de otras gargantas, la de Lumbier puede ser recorrida a través de un sencillo camino que discurre al pie de los acantilados, a lo largo de 2,6 kilómetros. El trazado fue realizado para el tren Irati, el primer tren eléctrico de España, que comunicó Pamplona con Sangüesa entre 1911 y 1955.

 

El camino está señalizado, discurre junto al río y atraviesa la roca a través de dos túneles, de 206 y 160 metros de longitud, que no poseen luz artificial. En la parte final del sendero, el camino bordea la roca y llega hasta los restos del Puente del Diablo, construido en el siglo XVI, con un arco elevado 15 metros sobre el río. Destruido por los franceses en 1812, durante la Guerra de la Independencia, debe su nombre a una leyenda según la cual su constructor pidió ayuda al diablo para levantar el puente.

Hachi: Hey Nana!! Wooow!!! Did you assembly the table you alone?? It's so cool!! I love the design!

Nana: Yeah, I just finished it, I'm putting it at it's right place now. ;)

Hachi: Amazing!! You have stunning skills! I'd be unable to make furniture myself. I'm the kind of person who goes to the shop to get the table... By the way, talking about shops, I need to get my purse. I saw a pair of breathtaking high heeled shoes and I want to purchase them before someone else take them!! *_*

/

Hachi: Hola Nana!! Alaaaaa!!! Estas montando la mesa tu sola?? Que chula!! Me encanta el diseño!

Nana: Si, justo acabo de terminarla, enseguida la coloco en su sitio. ;)

Hachi: Es asombroso!! Tienes una habilidad fuera de lo común! Yo sería incapaz de hacer un mueble sola. Soy la típica que va a comprar la mesa a la tienda... Por cierto, hablando de tiendas, voy a buscar mi bolso que he visto unos zapatos preciosos y quiero ir a comprarlos antes de que me los quiten!! *_*

Plaza de Armas is the center of the Historic section in Cuzco.

 

Plaza de Armas is a beautifully landscaped plaza that includes a mixture of patterned trees and benches. The abundant shade, benches, sitting walls and steps make the plaza a popular lunchtime destination. The steps at the entry of the two Spanish Churches are also great for sitting, and are often used for elevated speaker platforms. Historically, the Plaza has served as the city’s primary meeting place. There are numerous cafes, restaurants, and stores spilling out into the Plaza. Many of the restaurants have outdoor tables, and there is constant entertainment throughout the day and night.

 

People often cross through the Plaza as a short cut away from traffic or to avoid the curvy roads of Cuzco. The Plaza is most accessible by foot, but people often arrive by car. The most common meeting location for tourist groups is at the entrance stairs of La Cathedral in the Plaza. The Plaza is located at the center of the City and is accessible from all directions, making it a great meeting location.

 

At first you’ll observe the high velocity of people circulating throughout the Plaza. This is comforting for persons new to the area. Vehicles tend avoid the street adjacent to the plaza and also yield to pedestrians. The Plaza is well lit and offers various nooks and crannies to socialize in or to just be alone in.

Maresme's territory occupies a long and narrow area between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Serralada Litoral (Catalonia's coastal mountains), and specifically Montnegre's and Corredor's hills in the northern half and Sant Mateu's hills in the southern half. This particular shape has conditioned both the geography and the history of this comarca. Probably the main distinct elements of its geography are the characteristic rieres (torrents). These short, intermittent water streams, which cross the comarca transversally almost every hundred meters, produce powerful and dangerous floods when it rains.

  

Canet des de els Tarongers

Maresme has been historically very well connected with the rest of the comarca as well as with Barcelona thanks to old Camí Ral (Royal Way) (actual N-II main road) and railroad (The Barcelona–Mataró railroad route, finished in 1848, was the first ever in all the Iberian Peninsula). Communications were enhanced in recent years with the construction of the C-32's Barcelona–Mataró section (1969), which was the first autopista (highway) ever in Spain, and its subsequent enlargement, the Mataró-Palafolls's section (1995).

The Taj Mahal ( /ˈtɑːdʒ/ or /ˈtɑːʒ məˈhɑːl/;[1] Hindi: ताज महल, from Persian/Urdu: تاج محل "crown of palaces", pronounced [ˈt̪aːdʒ mɛˈɦɛl]; also "the Taj"[2]) is a white Marble mausoleum located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."[3]

Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish and Indian architectural styles.[4][5]

In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen.[6] The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.[7][8] Lahauri[9] is generally considered to be the principal designer.

...reminded me of Dylan Thomas:

 

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower

Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees

Is my destroyer.

And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose

My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.

 

The force that drives the water through the rocks

Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams

Turns mine to wax.

And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins

How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.

 

The hand that whirls the water in the pool

Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind

Hauls my shroud sail.

And I am dumb to tell the hanging man

How of my clay is made the hangman's lime.

 

The lips of time leech to the fountain head;

Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood

Shall calm her sores.

And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind

How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

 

And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb

How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.
