Seguir con gli occhi
un airone sopra il fiume e poi
ritrovarsi a volare
e sdraiarsi felice
sopra l'erba ad ascoltare
un sottile dispiacere
E di notte passare con lo sguardo
la collina per scoprire
dove il sole non fa rumore
e guidare come un pazzo a fari spenti
nella notte per vedere
se poi e' tanto difficile morire
E stringere le mani per fermare
qualcosa che
e' dentro me
ma nella mente tua non c'e'
Capire tu non puoi
tu chiamale se vuoi
emozioni
Uscir nella brughiera di mattina
dove non si vede a un passo
per ritrovar se stesso
Parlar del piu' e del meno
con un pescatore per ore ed ore
per non sentire che
dentro qualche cosa muore
nascere un giorno una rosa rossa
E prendere a pugni un uomo
solo perche' e' stato un po' scortese
sapendo che quel che brucia non son le offese
E chiudere gli occhi per fermare qualcosa che
e' dentro me
Ma nella mente tua non c'e'
Capire tu non puoi
tu chiamale se vuoi
emozioni
tu chiamale se vuoi
emozioni.

We all know that Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives genetically. They look like us, behave like us, raise families like us and even laugh like us! However I had never thought I would get to see them relax like us. We saw this endearing family at the Chimpanzee sanctuary at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy and it was probably one of the most fascinating hours I have ever spent. We saw them playing with each other, picking lice, inspecting each other nether regions and whacking the younger ones when they fell out of line. And when it all became too much, the elders literally just put their feet up. I mean who doesn’t want to do that from time to time hey?
You know what’s my favourite part of this photograph? It’s the soft multi-stroke multi-colour background. I know it is a gigantic leap of faith, but it reminds me of the kind of strokes Van Gogh used for his pictures. They were all distinct, sharp, yet part of a consolidated whole. I can’t pretend that was my idea when I took the photograph, it was very much an accident, but I did darken the image significantly to draw out the colours. Such accidents delight me to no ends, even though they might not be a big deal to anybody else. Does it happen to you too?!
And on a lighter not happy weekend Guys! Time to put your feet up!
another ispiration of a photo that didnt think was that well......so I brought it back into raw mode and tweeked as per my mentor and then had to throw a teture on here from Lenabem www.flickr.com/photos/42396059@N07/4782619856/ (thanks for the use of your texture) and here is the result.....thanks for your looks and thoughts.........
Honestly, another case of just wanting to share these tunes with you! But also really want to hear your answers!

Daydream, I dream of you amid the flowers,
for a couple of hours, such a beautiful day.
I dream a dirty dream of you baby
You're crawling on the bathroom floor,
You float around the room and you're naked,
Then you're flying out the bedroom door,
I dream a dirty dream
Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers,
for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day.
I dream a dirty dream of you baby
You're swingin from the chandalier
I'm climbing up the walls cos i want you
But when I reach you, you dissappear,
I dream a dirty dream
Daydream, I fell asleep amid the flowers,
for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day.

Caminando sobre el fondo, el cuerpo transparente de Thecamoeba quadrilineata se desliza silenciosamente, fundiéndose paso a paso con cada gota de agua en la que se deshace a cada instante sobre este infinito acuático del Lago de Sanabria bajo la invisible capa de su camuflaje arrugado, discreto y casi inmóvil.
Cuando avanza, Thecamoeba extiende su lisa lengua múltiple y viva sobre el fondo, imperceptiblemente, y como si fuese lava fría, barre así cualquier poso de vida que cayó a los sedimentos imitando una lluvia, lluvia incesante de pequeñas partículas de otros seres: bacterias, minúsculas algas que ahora se mezclan y fluyen en corrientes por su interior.
Varios pliegues rígidos y casi paralelos son el esqueleto de estas amebas del género Thecamoeba , quizá uno de los endoesqueletos más primitivos y sencillos que existan en la Naturaleza -apenas unas estrías marcadas en su interior-. Son los raíles por los que esta ameba de cuerpo plano de deja deslizar dirigiendo su movimiento en cada momento y son también los invisibles muros de contención, a los que su cuerpo se ancla en sus paseos por las superficies del fondo acuático.
La ameba Thecamoeba no extiende su cuerpo en brazos al caminar como lo hacen otras de sus hermanas como Amoeba o Mayorella, camina por los surcos imperceptibles de su dorso, tres o cuatro repliegues rígidos que contienen su cuerpo dentro de una fina película completamente invisible.
En el interior de Thecamoeba quadrilineata se sitúa un núcleo liso en forma de disco que dirige toda la actividad de esta avalancha transparente y fluida. En la parte posterior, se abre como un cráter una gran vacuola pulsante, que expulsa el exceso de líquido que se acumula en el interior de este diminuto cuerpo bombeándolo hacia el exterior a ritmo de un corazón muy lento.
Thecamoeba quadrilineata es casi hermana gemela de Thecamoeba striata, pero tiene un núcleo con nucleolo íntegro y de contorno circular. Ambas hermanas siempre viven sobre superficies húmedas o sumergidas a poca profundidad.
Thecamoeba quadrilineata es una de las numerosas amebas que viven sobre los fondos del Lago de Sanabria de donde se cita desde aquí hoy por primera vez.
Bajo los fondos oscuros del Lago de Sanabria hay un trabajo incesante, el de todos los seres silenciosos que grumo a grumo recogen la lluvia de desechos que el hombre ha provocado al dejar que lleguen a este Lago, hoy de cristal empañado y verde, las aguas sucias de cinco depuradoras que solo tienen la mentira de su nombre como excusa y la de seis puntos de vertido consentidos y escondidos que amenazan de muerte a este Lago que tanto ha cambiado.
Y entre todos estos seres, algunas amebas como la de hoy, Thecamoeba barren el lecho de arena gruesa y roca cubierto de restos de naufragios, infinitos brotes de vida que como diminutas algas se desarrollan desde hace tiempo en estas aguas abonadas por la indecencia consentida.
La fotografía, realizada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia, se ha tomado sobre una muestra procedente de los fondos del Lago, junto a la Isla de Moras, a cinco metros de profundidad y recogida por Cristina Lorente y Javier Fernández el día 15 de noviembre de 2016 en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

I really love this shot, and it was so simple to do and process. But My did such a great job delivering the emotion that I wanted for this shot. She has a very intense stare, and looks through the lens. Will definitely be working with her more in the near future!
Shot it at Gangasagar fair.Gangasagar Mela(fair) is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal. This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. The river Ganga which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains at Haridwar, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites such as Benares and Prayag, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. Sagar Island, at the mouth of the river Hooghly in Bengal where the Ganga breaks up into hundreds of streams, and drains into the sea, is honored as a pilgrimage site.
A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga drains into the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius and this town becomes home to vast fairs, drawing visitors and recluses from all over the state. There is a common belief among the locals that the girls who take the holy dip get handsome grooms and the boys get beautiful brides. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect.

Part of Régimes Spéciaux (Recommended as a slideshow)
Beloeil (literally "beautiful eye") is one of the largest and most beautiful castle in Belgium. It was founded in the 13th century as a medieval fortress, then was progressively transformed into a residential palace in the 17th and 18th century. The central part of the castle was devastated by a fire in 1900, and rebuilt 2 years later.
Since 1394, the castle has belonged to the Princes of Ligne, one of Belgium's highest ranking noble family. The family has its roots in the village of Ligne, eight kilometres north-east of Beloeil.
The castle has a pleasant French-style park expanding on 120 hectares - the greatest part of which runs across the village of Beloeil, outside the property's boundaries. A rectangular artificial lake faces the castle, with classical statues at each end. Take a look at the enormous carps that swim in the moat surrounding the castles.
The 18th-century classical interior reminds of Versailles and is certainly in accordance with the princely status of the proprietors. It contains an impressive collection of art from the 15th to the 19th century, including an impressive library with some 20,000 books.

La Plaza de la Concordia o en francés, place de la Concorde está situada al comienzo de la Avenida de los Campos Elíseos en el distrito 8, de París, en Francia ( [mostrar el lugar en un mapa interactivo] 48°51′55.81″N 2°19′15.95″E / 48.8655028, 2.3210972). Se trata de la décima más grande de Francia después de la Plaza de Quinconces en Burdeos.
Durante la Revolución francesa, la plaza es el lugar de paso obligado por los cortejos, improvisados o preparados por el protocolo de las fiestas. Será uno de los grandes lugares de alianza del período revolucionario, sobre todo cuando la guillotina estuvo allí instalada.Es donde Luis XVI y María Antonieta fueron ejecutados.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_de_la_Concordia
La place de la Concorde est située au pied de l'avenue des Champs-Élysées dans le 8e arrondissement à Paris, en France. Il s'agit de la deuxième plus vaste place de France (après la place des Quinconces à Bordeaux). Métro Ce site est desservi par la station de métro : Concorde.
Dès le 12 juillet 1789, les bustes de Jacques Necker et de Philippe d'Orléans y sont exhibés ; le prince de Lambesc et ses dragons chargent les manifestants. Le lendemain, la foule pille les armes du Garde-meuble (situé dans le bâtiment nord-est) pour « aller à la Bastille ». Le 6 octobre, Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, et le dauphin (futur Louis XVII), ramenés de Versailles à Paris par le peuple, font leur entrée au palais des Tuileries en traversant la place Louis-XV.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde
The Place de la Concorde is one of the major squares in Paris, France. It is located in the city's eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées.
The center of the Place is occupied by a giant Egyptian obelisk decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramses II. It is one of two the Egyptian government gave to the French in the nineteenth century. The other one stayed in Egypt, too difficult and heavy to move to France with the technology at that time. In the 90's, President Mitterand gave the second obelisk back to the Egyptians.
The obelisk once marked the entrance to the Luxor Temple. The viceroy of Egypt, Mehemet Ali, offered the 3,300-year-old Luxor Obelisk to France in 1831. The obelisk arrived in Paris on December 21, 1833. Three years later, on October 25, 1836, King Louis-Philippe had it placed in the centre of Place de la Concorde, where a guillotine used to stand during the Revolution.
The red granite column rises 23 metres (75 ft) high, including the base, and weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons). Given the technical limitations of the day, transporting it was no easy feat — on the pedestal are drawn diagrams explaining the machinery that were used for the transportation. The obelisk is flanked on both sides by fountains constructed at the time of its erection on the Place.
Missing its original cap, believed stolen in the 6th century BC, the government of France added a gold-leafed pyramid cap to the top of the obelisk in 1998.
Without warning, in 2000 French urban climber Alain "Spiderman" Robert, using only his bare hands and feet and with no safety devices, scaled the obelisk all the way to the top.
Part III of the Void series.
Shot with a telephoto lens with a wide aperture at dusk at the Oosterscheldekering.
It is the largest of the 13 ambitious Delta works series of dams, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding. The construction of the Delta Works was in response to the North_Sea_Flood_of_1953 during which 1,835 people were killed in the Netherlands.
I can tell you there was a hard wind and high tide when I took this shot. Huge waves wetting my camera gear and there was a strange atmosphere out there. Something eery about that place where the sea unveiled its majestic power to me.

Please View 'Sundown at the Medicine Wheel' Large On Black
Taken in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming on our way home from the Tetons. We were attempting to visit the Bighorn Medicine Wheel for our first time and were stopped on the account of deep drifting snow and a lack of light.
The Medicine Wheel is an important place to many peoples. From the Stanford Solar Center:
On top of the Bighorn Range in Wyoming, a desolate 9,642 feet high and only reachable during the warm summer months, lies an ancient Native American construction -- an 80' diameter wheel-like pattern made of stones. At the center of the circle is a doughnut-shaped pile of stones, a cairn, connected to the rim by 28 spoke-like lines of stones. Six more stone cairns are arranged around the circle, most large enough to hold a sitting human. The central cairn is about 12 feet in diameter and 2' high.
If you stand or sit at one cairn looking towards another, you will be pointed to certain places on the distant horizon. These points indicate where the Sun rises or sets on summer solstice and where certain important stars rise heliacally, that is, first rise at dawn after being behind the Sun. The dawn stars helped foretell when the Sun ceremonial days would be coming. The area is free of snow only for 2 months -- around the summer solstice.
The wheel has 28 spokes, the same number used in the roofs of ceremonial buildings such as the Lakota Sundance lodge. These always includes an entrance to the east, facing the rising Sun, and include 28 rafters for the 28 days in the lunar cycle. The number 28 is sacred to some of the Indian tribes because of its significance as the lunar month. In Bighorn's case, could the special number 28 also refer to the helicial or dawn rising of Rigel 28 days past the Solstice, and Sirius another 28 past that?

we recently filmed an episode of paranormal state at the former west virginia penitentiary, where nearly 1,000 inmates have died, 90 of which were executed. in 1995, the prison was shut down by the government, on the basis of cruel and unusual punishment. at some point, 5'x7' cells housed up to 3 inmates. many people believe that the prison is haunted. the place is enormous.. and dark enough to make anyone uncomfortable at night.
the only time prisoners experienced anything but metal grinding against metal was when they had time in the yard. some only for one hour a day. these splashes of color and texture must have made up a true sanctuary for a lot of people.
shedding.
im losing my petals one at a time, and it hurts me to see them go.
oh my gosh this is lame. today went so terribly wrong in so many strange ways.
first off, i went up to the lake to shoot with laina, had this fantastic idea... realized i didnt have enough black paint, shot about ten failed photos, and then my camera died.. again. my camera always dies because im always using it. :(
so then i went home... feeling a little saddened. but then the day seemed a little brighter when i spotted a turtle in my front yard. she was oh so cute. i carried her around with me for a bit while i finished some errands and planned for my 365 to be all about my new friend. so i went outside and got all set up. i set my turtle in the grass while i got ready, and when i turned around she was gone!!! i thought turtles were supposed to be slow?? i looked everywhere, but she had surely disappeared. so this photo is what came next. i was just thinking about how many opportunities i missed today. i also felt like a winter wonderland princess lost and confused in a field of green.
p.s. that is a christmas tree skirt i am wearing. my famiy thought i was losing my mind when they saw me wearing it.

Elsewhere, on the planet Imynusoph's vast savannas, Imperial-Officer-turned-big-game-hunter Jebel Corbett travels with his manservant Slyfoot in search of glorious prey. The aristocratic and selfish Corbett turns aside to his companion, a smile playing under his comparatively-small mustache.
"I've become so very good, don't you think Slyfoot? If only those rebels could see me now. A man of virtue! Honor!"
"I'm afraid I dont understand, sir."
"My habits! Entirely reformed, aren't they, Slyfoot? And in hindsight, I'm forced to admit it's for the better. I really was a ghastly sort of tyrant. Killing people and whatnot. I'm surprised to say that even the memory I can stomach no longer. A weak stomach for dispatching dissidents? Me? Ha! How things change, eh Slyfoot?"
"Indeed, sir. You've adapted quite well to your circumstances. And the...available pool of targets."
"I have, haven't I? And to my betterment! Being good is it's own reward, naturally, but it has its perks, too. Side effects, if you will."
"Like less blaster fire, sir?"
"Exactly, Slyfoot! Good lord, you stole it right out from under me. Indeed! You're spot on. The wildlife never shoots back! A most welcome benefit. Yes, turning over a new leaf is the best thing I ever did. Good lord, did you see that bird, Slyfoot? It was enormous! Come on, let's fill it with holes!"

San Miguel de Allende, ciudad del estado mexicano de Guanajuato, se encuentra a una altitud de 1910 m y dista 274 km de la Ciudad de México.
El 7 de julio de 2008 fue inscrita por la Unesco en el Patrimonio cultural de la Humanidad. Anteriormente fue parte del proyecto de "pueblos mágicos", pero debido a esta última distinción de la Unesco, fue cambiada su designación.
La ciudad fue fundada en 1542 por el monje franciscano Fray Juan de San Miguel, quien bautizó el asentamiento como San Miguel el Grande. Era un punto de paso importante del Antiguo Camino Real, parte de la ruta de plata que se conectaba con Zacatecas.
El pueblo se destacó durante la Guerra de Independencia de México. Ignacio Allende, nativo de San Miguel, fue un líder clave en la guerra. Capturado cuando marchaba hacia Estados Unidos en busca de armas, fue juzgado en Chihuahua, sentenciado y fusilado. Su cabeza fue expuesta en uno de los ángulos de la Alhóndiga de Granaditas en Guanajuato junto a las de Miguel Hidalgo, Juan Aldama y Mariano Jiménez. La población de San Miguel el Grande fue elevada a ciudad el 8 de marzo de 1826 y cambió el nombre por "San Miguel de Allende" en honor al héroe nacional.
Durante la década de 1950,
San Miguel de Allende se convirtió en un lugar turístico conocido por su bella arquitectura colonial y sus fuentes termales.
El lugar es famoso por su clima templado, los ojos de agua termal y su arquitectura.
La iglesia de San Francisco de Asís se comenzó a construir en 1778 y tardó más de 20 años en terminarse, se observan diferentes cambios arquitectónicos de acuerdo con el periodo y la moda. La fachada es churrigueresca pura, con una enorme cantidad de figuras labradas de piedra y afiladas columnas. Sin embargo, el campanario, construido en 1799 por el famoso arquitecto, Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras, es de estilo neoclásico, el cual estaba de moda entonces.

New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.[6] The city is referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. A global power city,[7] New York exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. The home of the United Nations Headquarters,[8] New York is an important center for international diplomacy[9] and has been described as the cultural capital of the world.[10][11]
On one of the world's largest natural harbors,[12] New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a county of New York State.[13] The five boroughs—the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898.[14] With a census-estimated 2013 population of 8,405,837[4] distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2),[15] New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States.[16] As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York,[17][18] making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.[19] By 2013 census estimates, the New York Metropolitan Area's population remains by a significant margin the United States' largest Metropolitan Statistical Area, with approximately 19.9 million people,[20] and is also part of the most populous Combined Statistical Area in the United States, containing an estimated 23.4 million people.
dal sito del Comune:
Posta all'estremo lembo settentrionale di Lombardia, che con la sua valle si incunea nel cantone svizzero dei Grigioni, Chiavenna, "Clavenna" per i Romani, fu un importante centro di transito fin dall'epoca di Augusto tra la pianura Padana e il nord Europa. Costituisce il centro della Valchiavenna, composta a sua volta da tre valli minori: il Piano di Chiavenna a sud, dove anticamente continuava il lago di Como (oggi sopravvive il lago di Mezzòla), la val San Giacomo verso il passo dello Spluga e la val Bregaglia verso il passo del Settimo un tempo (oggi percorso da un sentiero turistico) e verso quello del Maloja, accesso all'Engadina. Quest'ultima valle, infatti, è divisa dal confine di stato, che fu stabilito dall'imperatore Ottone I fin dal 960.
Della romanità di Chiavenna fanno fede due carte stradali romane: l'Itinerarium Antonini e la Tabula Peutingeriana, che registrano pure "Summus lacus" (oggi Samòlaco).
Gli imperatori assegnarono la Valchiavenna, come il resto del territorio della diocesi, ai vescovi di Como, e il comune di Chiavenna, attestato nel 1097, è il primo a comparire nel territorio dell'attuale provincia di Sondrio. Nel 1335 al vescovo subentrarono i Visconti di Milano e quindi gli Sforza, quando Ludovico Maria Sforza detto il Moro, per difendersi dai vicini Grigioni costituiti in repubblica delle tre Leghe, fece costruire le mura di cinta attorno al borgo (1488-1497).
Ma a poco servirono, perché, sconfitto Ludovico il Moro dalla Francia, a questa passò la valle fino al 1512, quando i Grigioni riuscirono a conquistarla. La terranno fino al 1797, con l'intervallo di un ventennio seguito al cosiddetto Sacro Macello del 1620, durante il quale in Valtellina furono uccisi 400 protestanti. Si trattò di un'insurrezione sanguinosa motivata ufficialmente dalla reazione dei cattolici contro i protestanti (lo erano in maggioranza i Grigioni), in realtà fomentata per motivi politici dalla Spagna, che aveva il ducato di Milano confinante con la Valtellina, e dai nobili valtellinesi, esautorati dalla nobiltà grigione. Non vi partecipò la Valchiavenna, legata ai traffici commerciali con i dominanti, ma ne subì le conseguenze politiche, con l'allontanamento dei Grigioni fino al Capitolato di Milano del 1639.
Il borgo, che era stato dato alle fiamme durante una incursione degli stessi Grigioni nel 1486, risorse a partire dal XVI secolo, quando nacque il centro storico che si vede tuttora, caratterizzato da una strada principale, detta "Paart de mèz" (vie Quadrio, Dolzino, Pedretti), delimitata da case e palazzi a cui si accede da portali in pietra ollàre con date e iscrizioni religiose e morali. Nelle piazze sopravvivono fontane nella stessa pietra locale: da quella cinquecentesca (ma solo relativamente alla vasca ottagonale) del "Cantón" (piazza Pestalozzi) a quella con tazza circolare e sculture del 1732 in piazza San Pietro, a quella tardo ottocentesca di "piaza Növa" (piazza Crollalanza) ecc.
Più o meno parallela alla "Paart de mèz", verso ovest, era la zona artigianale, già servita dal canale derivato dal fiume Mera. Si snoda lungo le vie della Marmirola, al Maglio vecchio, Cappuccini e Molinanca. Sul lato opposto era la zona agricola, servita dalle vie Macolino, delle Agostiniane e Lena-Perpenti. Quest'ultima diventerà zona abitativa a partire dal 1886, quando vi fu costruita la stazione ferroviaria.
Della dominazione grigione rimangono, sulle pareti esterne e soprattutto interne del Pretorio, abbondanti tracce di affreschi dei commissari che ogni due anni venivano inviati dal governo come rappresentanti e giudici, oltre che affreschi sulle case, come quella in via Dolzino, appartenente a un medico riformato, il quale nel 1591 fece decorare la facciata a monocromo con due scene bibliche e, in alto, i re di Francia Enrico III e IV, che fino ad allora si erano distinti nell'appoggio agli ugonotti.
Oltre il fiume, perpendicolare alla "Paart de mèz", si snoda la contrada di Oltremera (via Bossi), fino a una ottantina di anni fa unica via di accesso alla val San Giacomo.
Allontanati i Grigioni nel 1797 dalle truppe napoleoniche, la Valchiavenna entrò nella Cisalpina fino alla sconfitta di Napoleone e dal congresso di Vienna fu aggregata al regno lombardo-veneto, dominato dagli Austriaci, costituendo con la Valtellina la provincia di Sondrio. Nel frattempo, a partire dal 1804, la repubblica dei Grigioni entrava nella Svizzera come cantone. Nel 1861 la Valchiavenna entrò nel Regno d'Italia.
Durante i quasi tre secoli di dominio grigione Chiavenna con la sua valle aveva goduto di un certo benessere, grazie soprattutto alla sua posizione sulla via più diretta tra Milano e il nord Europa. Ciò non fermò il flusso migratorio di parte della popolazione verso altre terre europee, come Austria, Germania, Boemia e Polonia e - da parte di ceti più popolari - verso città italiane, come Venezia, Roma, Napoli, Palermo ecc.

A storm during fall color in Zion national park. The negative was made in 2005. This is an early work for my 8x10 camera.
At almost every year during this time, I am more happy than ever. I feel of those holiday season. I feel of a great time, great memory. It is a time which I remember most of how happy we all can be.
Yesterday was the first day of fall, I was busy working and was so tired after work. I actually intended to do this yesterday. Well, here I am. Better to be late than never.
Eventhough, my new body of work is the other worlds way from this, but they are connected within me. I usually think back of what I had done during this moment of time in years before. It reminds me of great memories. Everything, and everyone are part of who I am today. Thank you to all.
p.s sorry for a bad scan. There is limited space on a harddrive.
Part of my major .
This image was very tricky to shoot and difficult to manipulate because I did not have any idea on how to make it work.
There's only very slight motion going on because I wanted to make it look almost like a freeze frame.
The final works are actually not in print format, they're projected onto the center of the frame she enters (in the First Phase) coupled with a soundtrack and sound effects. I have the video but didn't do a recording of it being projected onto the frame. It's probably going to go up for exhibition at my school so maybe I'll a recording then.
So glad it's over! Sleeping, getting back to games and online shopping are currently my top priorities.
I'll still be shooting, but I might be trying a new style. (This whole series was quite new to me, having the make the settings etc, it's also aesthetically quite different from my preferred ghostly themed work or vintage inspired photographs) I'm not sure yet but possibilities are endless. One thing though, I really don't like studio lights, it just doesn't seem to fit what I do so I'll still be using natural lighting :D Might want to try incorporating drawing with photography or maybe take up digital painting and see how things go from there.

There are hunters galore in the savannah grasslands. But one hunter reigns supreme and that’s the lioness. No many can match her for strategy, strength and above all team work. This lioness, a proud member of the pride, had killed less than an hour ago and feasted with her family. Now she looked on blissfully as a hundred tourists attempted to capture the contentment on her face. I can’t say that I did, but sitting there against the morning savannah, with flecks of red around her muzzle, she somehow looked larger than life. Powerful, visceral and intimidating. A true hunter.

I shot it at Kolkata in the transit camp in the time of Gangasagar fair.
I write a lot about indian children,specially the rural children.still I rigth it again just to remember....
With credible estimates ranging from 60 to 115 million, India has the largest number of working children in the world. Whether they are sweating in the heat of stone quarries, working in the fields sixteen hours a day, picking rags in city streets, or hidden away as domestic servants, these children endure miserable and difficult lives. They earn little and are abused much. They struggle to make enough to eat and perhaps to help feed their families as well. They do not go to school; more than half of them will never learn the barest skills of literacy. Many of them have been working since the age of four or five, and by the time they reach adulthood they may be irrevocably sick or deformed-they will certainly be exhausted, old men and women by the age of forty, likely to be dead by fifty.
Most or all of these children are working under some form of compulsion, whether from their parents, from the expectations attached to their caste, or from simple economic necessity. At least fifteen million of them, however, are workingas virtual slaves.3 These are the bonded child laborers of India. This report is about them.
India has 375 million children, more than any other country in the world. Their condition has improved in the last five decades, with child survival rates up, school dropout rates down, and several policy commitments made by the government at the national and international levels. Resource allocations by the State, however, remain quite inadequate to take care of the survival and healthcare needs of infants and children, their education, development and protection.

La nebbia inizia a formarsi quando l'umidità relativa di una massa d'aria raggiunge il 100%, ovvero quando si ha saturazione del vapore acqueo in essa contenuto. A seconda dei meccanismi con cui si raggiunge questa condizione, si parla di:
Nebbia da irraggiamento: si forma generalmente dopo il tramonto, quando il suolo cede calore allo spazio tramite irraggiamento, raffreddandosi. La temperatura degli strati d'aria prossimi al terreno si abbassa sino a raggiungere la temperatura di rugiada permettendo la condensazione di goccioline di acqua liquida. La nebbia da irraggiamento è tipica delle notti con cielo sereno (effetto serra da parte delle nubi limitato) e vento poco intenso.
Nebbia da avvezione: si forma quando l'aria umida passa per avvezione sopra il terreno freddo e viene così raffreddata. Questo fenomeno è frequente sul mare quando l'aria tropicale incontra ad alte latitudini acqua più fredda. È anche comune il caso in cui un fronte tiepido passi sopra un'area abbondantemente innevata.
Nebbia da evaporazione: è la forma più localizzata ed è creata dall'aria fredda che passa sull'acqua molto più calda. Il vapore acqueo entra velocemente nell'atmosfera tramite evaporazione e la condensazione ha luogo quando il vapore acqueo raggiunge la saturazione. La nebbia da evaporazione è frequente nelle regioni polari, e intorno ai laghi più grandi e più profondi nel tardo autunno e all'inizio dell'inverno, spesso causa nebbia ghiacciata o talvolta brina.
Nebbia frontale (o nebbia da precipitazione): si forma quando una precipitazione cade nell'aria secca dietro alla nube, le goccioline liquide evaporano in vapore acqueo. Il vapore acqueo si raffredda e al punto di rugiada condensa e forma la pioggia.
Nebbia congelantesi: si verifica quando le goccioline di nebbia si trovano allo stato liquido (condizione detta di sopraffusione) nonostante la temperatura dell'aria sia inferiore a 0 °C; quando vengono a contatto con una superficie, formano depositi di ghiaccio chiamati galaverna, calabrosa o ghiaccio chiaro. Ciò è frequente sulla cima di quelle montagne che sono esposte a un debole vento. È quindi equivalente alla pioggia congelantesi, che provoca il gelicidio.
Nebbia ghiacciata (o nebbia velata): è quel tipo di nebbia dove le goccioline si sono congelate a mezz'aria in minuscoli cristalli di ghiaccio. Generalmente ciò richiede temperature ben al di sotto del punto di congelamento (solitamente inferiori a -30 °C, nonostante si possa avere sopraffusione fino a -40 °C) e quindi questo tipo di nebbia è comune solo nell'area e nei dintorni delle regioni artiche ed antartiche. Una precipitazione di aghi di ghiaccio simile alla nebbia ghiacciata ma che si verifica con cielo sereno e non provoca diminuzione di visibilità si chiama polvere di diamanti.

Colònia Sant Corneli (920 m.) - Cercs, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Cercs is a municipality in the comarca of the Berguedà in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated on the right bank of the Llobregat river above the Baells reservoir. It is the site of an important power station which burns the lignite extracted at Fígols and Saldes. The town is served by the C-1411 road between Berga and the Cadí tunnel.
In 1893 the Basque businessman Jose Enrique de Olano y Loyzaga bought the mines of Cercs and commanded to construct the colony Sant Corneli in the entrance of the mine so that the miners and their families, mainly originating of Asturias, Cantabria and Navarre lived there. First the basic buildings were constructed: elementary school, church, supplies store, bakery and houses. Later one added a theater-cinema, a convent of nuns and offices. In the best times they live 3,000 people.
The most aspiration of boys was to become miners, and those of the girls to be wife of a miner. The chaplain taught to the children arithmetical elementary and to pray, and the nuns the same taught to the children and in addition to sew, to cook, to wash and to iron. The women without pair were going to work to a textile factory, whereas the married ones washed the clothes of the miners.
The houses were of between 30 and 40 m2 and in each one lived 5 or 6 families, although only 4 simultaneously at the most. They had 2 rooms, a kitchen, a toilet and a closet. When families worked in the mine or the factory, the others were in the house, and every 12 hours interchanged. This system was called “camacaliente” (hot bed).
At the beginning the miners received according to the coal whom they extracted, but Jose Enrique de Olano y Loyzaga changed the system and implanted a low pay but fixed, to which every 15 days were added to him the meters pricked according to the category of the miner. First they received with “bonds” exchangeable in the supplies store stores and the shops, and later it was paid with currency. The miners were numbered, and when entering the mine they left cards that they indicated that they were inside, and when leaving they turned them. Thus they knew if somebody died in the mine. The numbers of the dead miners never were replaced.
The mines of Cercs have lived some revolutionary episodes. In 1932 the anarchists took the company, and were evacuated by the army. In 1977 was carriet out a confinement in the occasion of the dismissal of 430 miners. Carbones de Berga S.A. closed definitively in 1991 dismissing the miners progressively or giving them work in other mines.

CASTELLANO
Cercs, municipio de la provincia de Barcelona en Cataluña. Pertenece a la comarca del Berguedà. Situado al norte de la ciudad de Berga, se extiende desde los Rasos de Peguera hasta las cimas de Vallcebre, a la derecha del río Llobregat y a la orilla del embalse de Cercs. El nombre de la villa procede del término "quercus" (roble en latín).
En 1893 el empresario vasco José Enrique de Olano y Loyzaga compró las minas de Cercs y mandó construir la colonia Sant Corneli en la boca de la mina para que viviesen los mineros y sus familias, procedentes en gran parte de Asturias, Cantabria y Navarra. Primero se construyeron los edificios básicos: escuela, iglesia, economato, panadería y casas elementales. Más tarde se añadió un teatro-cine, un convento de monjas y unas oficinas. En los mejores tiempos llegaron a vivir 3.000 personas.
La máxima aspiración de los niños era llegar a ser mineros, y las de las niñas ser mujer de un minero. El capellán enseñaba a los niños aritmética elemental y a rezar, y las monjas enseñaban lo mismo a las niñas y además a coser, cocinar, lavar y planchar. Las mujeres sin pareja iban a trabajar a una fábrica textil, mientras que las casadas lavaban la ropa de los mineros.
Las casas eran de entre 30 y 40 m2 y en cada una vivían 5 o 6 familias, aunque sólo 4 a la vez como máximo. Tenían 2 habitaciones, una cocina, una comuna y un armario. Cuando unas familias trabajaban en la mina o en la fábrica, las otras estaban en la casa, y cada 12 horas se intercambiaban. Este sistema se llamó "camacaliente".
Al principio los mineros cobraban según el carbón que extraían, pero José Enrique de Olano y Loyzaga cambió el sistema e implantó un sueldo bajo pero fijo al que cada 15 días se le sumaban los metros picados según la categoría del minero. Primero cobraban con "vales" canjeables en el economato o en las tiendas, y más tarde se pagó con moneda. Los mineros estaban numerados, y al entrar en la mina dejaban unas fichas que indicaban que estaban dentro, y al salir las giraban. Así sabían si moría alguien en la mina. Los números de los mineros muertos nunca se sustituían.
Las minas de Cercs han vivido algunos episodios revolucionarios. En 1932 los anarquistas tomaron la empresa, y fueron desalojados por el ejército. En 1977 se llevó a cabo un encierro con motivo del despido de 430 mineros. Carbones de Berga S.A. cerró definitivamente en 1991 despidiendo progresivamente a los mineros o recolocándolos en otras minas.

La ameba Nebela se ha echado a dormir, se ha enquistado dentro de su cascarón de pepitas de cuarzo formando una esfera como el mundo; así estará bien arropada y protegida, y quizá de esa forma pueda pasar mejor el invierno de hielo, en la Sierra de la Culebra le espera bajo los aullidos sobrecogedores de los lobos que a veces visitan la charca en la que vive.
Hoy la Naturaleza ha gastado una broma a esta ameba discreta, colocando sobre la cúpula de su casa un tirabuzón. Molinete verde que adorna su cabeza haciéndola presumida en este tiempo de sueño invernal. La espiral de la vida seguirá su ciclo y este filamento que adorna como una joya minúscula, la minúscula casa de joya de Nebela se irá despertando al desperezarse la espiral, cuando sople el viento de primavera.
Cuando ella llegue se convertirá en hilo ondulado...hilo de vida de una cianobacteria que aunque recuerda a Lyngbia contorta probablemente sea Scitonema...y que ha hecho lo mismo que Nebela. Se ha convertido en un ovillo para pasar estos fríos de invierno junto a la compañía de esta ameba. Cuando la primavera empiece a despertar ellas lo harán también transformando su belleza estática en latido.
La ameba Nebela protege su cuerpo dentro de un cascarón fuertemente comprimido en forma de gota y ese cascarón de doble capa, se cubre hoy de pepitas de cuarzo transparentes que ella misma fabrica como gotas de cristal.
La cápsula que encierra el cuerpo de Nebela suele ser ligeramente ocre o amarillenta, comprimida lateralmente y presenta pequeños poros laterales difíciles de observar. El cuello tras el que se encuentra la apertura de su casa - que puede ser lineal, ligeramente o fuertemente curvada - es muy corto, apenas está marcado y su borde está rodeado por un collar de materia orgánica.
El caparazón y casa de esta ameba puede estar compuesto de dos capas una interna constituida por un cemento orgánico y la más externa donde se adhieren partículas minerales, restos de diatomeas o placas de sílice fabricadas por ella misma, como ocurre en la Nebela de hoy. El caso es que para que pueda tener esta capa exterior fabricada con placas, necesita alimentarse de otras amebas que también tengan caparazón. Si no lo tienen y se alimenta solo de amebas desnudas, su cuerpo estará también semidesnudo y únicamente protegido por la capa más interna de cemento traslúcido.
Cuando camina por los fondos Nebela desparrama sus brazos en el agua abriéndose en ella y abrazándola como gruesas raíces móviles que se funden y desaparecen para volver a surgir en mil formas diferentes.
Nebella tubulosa , no es una ameba común, la de hoy vive entre los esfagnos de una turbera situada en las inmediaciones de la pequeña localidad de Boya, situado en pleno corazón de la Sierra de la culebra de Zamora y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.
The Manali-Leh highway
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.

Turbio fondeadero donde van a recalar,
barcos que en el muelle para siempre han de quedar...
Sombras que se alargan en la noche del dolor;
náufragos del mundo que han perdido el corazón...
Puentes y cordajes donde el viento viene a aullar,
barcos carboneros que jamás han de zarpar...
Torvo cementerio de las naves que al morir,
sueñan sin embargo que hacia el mar han de partir...
Amarrado al recuerdo
yo sigo esperando...
¡Niebla del Riachuelo!...
De ese amor, para siempre,
me vas alejando...
Nunca más volvió,
nunca más la vi,
nunca más su voz nombró mi nombre junto a mí...
esa misma voz que dijo: "¡Adiós!".
Sueña, marinero, con tu viejo bergantín,
bebe tus nostalgias en el sordo cafetín...
Llueve sobre el puerto, mientras tanto mi canción;
llueve lentamente sobre tu desolación...
Anclas que ya nunca, nunca más, han de levar,
bordas de lanchones sin amarras que soltar...
Triste caravana sin destino ni ilusión,
como un barco preso en la "botella del figón"

"Let's take the train to anywhere
I wanna feel the wind in my hair with you.
Let's tell them all, that soon they'll know
How very wrong they were to think we'd never go,
And if you tell me yours I'll tell you mine
And we will clean the cobwebs out of one another's minds. "

The rain came down the moment we stepped into the Le Relais Day Shelter, just a few hours after we were transported by bus into this restricted area of Yoho National Park. In as soon as half an hour, hikers emerged out of nowhere and gravitated toward this wooden lakeshore sanctuary, which is the launching pad for all hikes in the Lake O’hara region. We were forced to stay put while this place getting packed, more and more like a hazy bar (at some point the two girls selling the food/souvenir started to play guitar and sing).
The rain then turned into a hail storm and the entire region, bathing in all three phases of water, turned into a magical place.
We waited until the weather stabilized and decided to go straight up to Wiwaxy Gap, with only three hours of daylight remaining. Although it’s one of the toughest climbs in the renowned alpine circuit with a lot of exposed ledges, the scenery got exponentially better with each step. After 1,625 ft of scrambling we finally got to the top, and another wave of cold front decided to sneak in encircling us with cold rain and fog.
Not wanting to scramble down the original route, we paced up toward the other end of the valley. On our way to Lake Oesa the sun suddenly peeked out for the first time the entire afternoon before its final descending below the horizon. This is one of the images taken during that precious 20 minutes before we had to press on and eventually hiked back with headlamp.

This wonderful scene is from Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in Bug Sur. This particular spot might be one of the prettiest locations I've ever been to. It is just gorgeous. And a beautiful waterfall (McWay Falls) spilling out into the ocean just tops it off.
Single exposure with CPL.
I have to say thanks very much to Joshua Cripps for the tips on what beaches to visit during my time here. I would have likely stumbled across some of the places, but his tips proved invaluable.
Thanks also to Jill Clardy for her tips in and around San Francisco.
My own little disclaimer to myself...I'm working off the laptop screen, so I may have to go back and re-look at a number of the shots I post while on travel.
Thanks for looking!
