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".

I had worked this up last night to assist in the Alt Bricks Track Discussion on Eurobricks but Duq beat me to it. I'm posting it anyway as a reference to curve construction techniques and differences in radii.

All of these examples are possible using current LEGO track geometry though some require modifying track sections to make half and quarter length sections. None of these are truly a replacement for a purposely designed and molded larger radius curve however. They all suffer from a jagged profile most noticeable when running shorter wheelbase rolling stock which can wobble quite a bit in some of these curves.

The radius of each track example is measured to the center of the track gauge.

1. This the standard 40 stud radius that LEGO had used since the introduction of their first train sets.

2. This is a 56 stud radius built using standard length curves with half length (8 stud) straight sections in-between.

3. 72 stud radius built using the common flu curve, full straight construction method.

4. 88 stud radius built using 1.5 straight sections (24 studs) in-between full cube sections.

5. 104 stud radius using two full straight sections in-between full curve sections.

6. This is the super wide curve first seen in RAILBRICKS #1 and since adopted by many clubs including my own. This curve as constructed using the method detailed in RAILBRICKS results in a 232 stud radius curve though with some tweaking 216 and 244 stud radius curves can also be achieved.

7. Our standard 40 stud radius again for reference.

8. 56 stud radius built using alternating half curves and quarter straight sections.

9. 72 stud radius using alternating half curve and half straight sections.

10. 88 stud radius using alternating half curve and 3/4 straight sections.

11. 104 stud radius using alternating half curve and full straight sections.

12. This is the most common configuration used when AFOLs and clubs look to increase the radius of the curves in their layouts. This is built using the 72 stud radius technique from example no. 3. When adding additional lines each curve is started one full track section further out than the previous line. While this is the simplest large radius curve to make, requiring no modification of track it is also the least aesthetically pleasing of all the examples. The abruptness of the transition from strait to curve and back to straight again is very noticeable as well as the inconsistency in the distance between tracks as you travel around the curve.

13. This is merely to show just how impossibly tight standard (40 stud radius) LEGO curves are. In less than the space of one 48x48 baseplate a train is changing directions 90 degrees. Most stock LEGO train cars today are at least half the length of this radius. The only real life railways using anything close to such a tight radius would be trolley/tram lines and small industrial railways.

Where: Sweden, Östergötland, Linköping: google maps

When: 20100411, going home from a photo walk in the Linköping sailingboat harbour.

How and why: At the end of a photo walk I spotted the light on this pool of water from a distance and came closer to check it out. Had my 35mm mounted and decided I just wanted to shoot some free hand before going home. Tried focus on both near and distance but liked this best. Loved the light and the silhouettes, and the bokeh.

Editing: Nothing big.

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.

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"

Description

Trees 15–25 m tall and up to 150 cm DBH. Single round trunk, often divided to form in mature trees a rounded or flat-topped crown of slender, irregular horizontal, upturned branches; crown form often shaped by wind, especially near the sea. Bark at first smooth silvery gray, later becomings purple-brown, longitudinally grooved and fissured into scaly plates. Branchlets smooth, slightly ridged, gray-green. Winter buds conic, 8 mm long, the scales fringed and often reflexed. Needles in fascicles of 2(–3), 5–12 cm × 1 mm, twisted, edges minutely serrate, with stomata on all surfaces; rather sparsely arrayed along the branchlets. Fascicle sheath persistent but fragile. Seed cones on thick, scaly peduncles; at maturity ovoid, pendant, 6–12 × 4–7 cm, symmetrical, red- to purple-brown, solitary or in whorls of 2–3. Cones take 3 years to mature and remain on branches for long thereafter. Cone scales shiny, yellow- or red-brown, about 2.5 × 1.5 cm, apophysis rhomboid, flat or slightly raised and keeled, without a prickle. Seed 5-6 mm long with a 2.5 cm wing (Dallimore et al. 1967, Farjon 1984).

Distribution and Ecology

Mediterreanean and W Asia: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Malta, France, and Spain. In South Africa, where it is cultivated for shelter poles and firewood, it has naturalized and invaded grassland and fynbos, particularly on dry soils, and become widespread in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape (Palgrave 2002). It is also locally naturalized in USA: California (PLANTS database 2009.03.31). Hardy to Zone 8 (cold hardiness limit between -12.1°C and -6.7°C) (Bannister and Neuner 2001).

Big tree

I have no data on wild trees. A specimen in Arderne Gardens, Claremont, Cape Town, South Africa was measured at 172 cm dbh and 32.0 m tall (Robert Van Pelt pers. comm., 2003.11.24).

Dendrochronology

Pioneering work was carried out by Gindel (1944). Further work can be located at the Bibliography of Dendrochronology.

Ethnobotany

In the eastern Mediterranean, Pinus halepensis forests are important for resin, fuelwood and forest honey production and also for livestock grazing. "Resin collection activities in Mediterranean countries had always played a significant role in the welfare of forest communities, some of which lived marginally at the edge of subsistence. In some low-income areas, resin collection was (and continue to be) the only reliable source of labor. In addition, many of the resin producing forests are community forests and production benefits go to resin community co-operatives. Another important aspect of these forests is that multiple purpose forestry is applied and other activities other than resin collection co-exist, such as apiculture... Income from the wood of a Pinus halepensis tree, for example, is only 2% of the income generated from resin throughout the lifetime of the tree (an average size tree can produce 3–4 kilograms of resin per year). Moreover, it has been observed that forests that have active resin production have lower incidence of forest fires. This results from the fact that adjacent communities have an active interest in preserving the integrity of the forest ecosystems" (Moussouris and Regato 1999).

Observations

[ 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.

Here is another photo taken in the early spring at the same location.

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.

"I dreamt you found me out in a field

You tripped over my site

And you dug me out of this shallow grave

with your Swiss Army knife

And only you could revive me, so badly decomposed

I was born white, dry, and scaly

but you still took me home

Shaking at the sight of you

I'll be dreaming every night of you"

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.

This is a Photoshop and Lightroom re-work of a shot I previously posted.

The shipwreck that was vomited up from the bottom of the sea by a storm far at sea and deposited onto the beach at Montecito, California was not placed there gently. The unpredictable forces of mother nature can leave unexpected surprises for us to discover and marvel at. It took one of nature's most beautiful and sometimes most violent forces --- the power of the angry sea in the form of a crashing wave like this one to deposit the 'mystery sailing craft' that is the subject of this set on the beach at Montecito and leave us all wondering about its origins.

Continuing the black and whites from Amboseli, this image was taken at more or less the same time as the last one. I couldn’t choose between the two so am uploading both! Tough choices eh?

I think the zebra was probably my favourite animal to shoot in the wild. I know that’s a strange thing to say, but hear me out. Not that I didn’t enjoy shooting the more popular elephants and the lions, but the dramatic coat of the zebra, stood out so remarkably against the yellow savannah that I didn’t have to do much to make a good photo. I swear, every zebra I saw was standing in a near perfect pose!

Interestingly, which animal did I find most difficult to shoot? Another one with a dramatic coat – the giraffe. Due to their height, most of my photos (taken from a tiny safari vehicle, with a mid-range lens) are disappointingly one-dimensional. I have some good close ups, but finding the right light and angle was personally challenging for me. Now, why can’t all animals be as accommodating as the good ol zebra?

Which animals do you guys love to shoot?

Full moon rises over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA.

A photo of Stephen W. Oachs inspired me to try and take a shot of San Francisco from a new viewpoint. So today Jess and I hiked down to Kirby Cove in the Marin Headlands. I tried to find a good spot to set up my tripod and shoot this panorama shot. I wanted to be a bit above the water so that the nightlights would get reflected in the water better. But also not to high up, so that the city remains under the bridge. After some exploring I found a promising spot that included no major but some climbing down a cliff...

At first I was a little disappointed because of the lack of clouds over the city (for some extra color). But then I remembered that tonight the moon is the closest to Earth for the entire year resulting in a 14% bigger full moon than usual. I chose this spot to snap a shot of the moon over the city and with a perfect full moon I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

The sun set and it got cold. I was a little worried about the climb back up the cliff in the dark. I had a flashlight, but I would need my arms to pull myself up the steep parts. I was just about to leave in order to still be able to use the last remaining light as I noticed the glow of the moon over the horizon (sooner than expected). A little while later I was able to take a series of eleven 2min shots to create this panorama. I think it was worth the extra wait.

I packed up my gear and with flashlight in mouth climbed out of the cliff.

A great big kiss to my sweet and talented friends who have written touching testimonials about me in the few months I have been on Flickr. Thank You!

And speaking of friends, I have been tagged once again, this time by one of my most unique and funniest contacts, Max Ago, to reveal a bit more about myself, so here it is...

1. I have a beauty mark on my bottom lip which makes the print of my lips almost as unique as my fingerprint.

2. I am as comfortable in high heels as I am barefoot.

3. I have kissed a girl and I liked it.

4. My favorite number is 13....it has always brought me luck.

5. What I find most attractive in a man are a capacity for self-expression and a great sense of humor. What I find least attractive are immaturity and a short temper.

6. I am extremely loyal, sometimes to a fault.

7. I am fluent in Italian and Spanish as well as English, and I studied French for years.

8. The strangest food I have eaten is camel, which I ate unknowingly while traveling through North Africa one year; and no, I didn't like it and it did not taste like chicken.

9. My earliest childhood memory is of trying to sit in an inflatable beach chair which kept sliding away from under me and landing me on the floor.

I am tagging three of my lovely contacts.......the insightful hhrahman77, the talented

Shot from this morning macro shoot @ Pashan Lake (Pune) with Urban Prowler (http://www.flickr.com/photos/anshum_m)and Anand J (http://www.flickr.com/photos/anand-j/)

I could barely fit the full insect with complete focus into the 70mm with raynox.. Bit more space on left could have helped!!

Raynox + Pop-up-flash diffuser rocks and so does the Pashan Lake.. You can go there for birding / sunrise / sunset or now for insects!

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.

Florecen en el agua como si ya fuese primavera, siempre con delicados pétalos de cuarzo, muchas veces naves solitarias, en ocasiones construyendo las flores más extrañas, en forma de cinta, quebrando el agua en un zigzag, brillando como astro, refrescándola en forma de abanico, o fabricando radios de estrella como en ésta, pero siempre adornándola y salpicándola de vida… son las diatomeas.

Los adornos de las diatomeas visten el agua de joyas, brillantes verdes y dorados, cristalinos y aparentemente caprichosos, pero inspirados siempre en la necesidad de sobrevivir y, así, buscando el agua y la luz, se encuentran en estas mil formas florecidas de manera hermosa, siempre variada como una fuente inagotable de minúsculas bellezas

Este ramillete de diatomeas se ha asociado para rodar por el agua en zonas de corriente, unidas por el vértice de un extremo forman una esfera estrellada, se mueven cerca de la superficie del agua y florecen como minúsculos nenúfares aquí y allí. Al rodar el azar hace que todas reciban la misma cantidad de luz, se reparte el sol en giros movidos a impulso de corriente, así, juntas tendrán las mismas posibilidades de sobrevivir.

Es muy posible que la especie de hoy corresponda a Eunotia bilunaris diatomea curva como la media luna y de extremos redondeados. Aunque Eunotia bilunaris suele encontrarse en pequeños cursos de agua, generalmente aguas frescas, ligeramente ácidas y limpias, forma parte del plancton como especie independiente, en ocasiones, se puede adherir a partículas amorfas de sedimento para vestirlas y darles formas tan llamativas como ésta. Así, en grupo Eunotia bilunaris puede flotar con más facilidad y ser arrastrada por las corrientes repartiéndose oxígeno y luz.

Eunotia procede de una muestra tomada hace unos días en un pequeño regato próximo a la localidad zamorana de Mahíde, en las estribaciones de la Sierra de la Culebra y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando al mismo tiempo las técnicas de campo oscuro y polarización.

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.

First shot I took on a great day out in the lake district with JonnyFez (cheers Jon). First time in my life I've been to the Lake District and I thought it was quite nice.... (bit of an understatement).

This was taken at about 8.30 in the morning and the sun was casting a nice orange glow over the lake. Only problem with this photo is that the sun was probably too strong on the white bits and they've blown a tad. But nevermined 'cos its gorgeous.

Done properly it looks like this.

Think I'll be posting a few of this - from different positions and different processing, to get it just so. Hope you won't all get bored...

Maritime Museum "ELBE 1" at Cuxhaven-Germany

Am 22. April 1988 ging in der Elbmündung vor Cuxhaven die 172jährige Geschichte bemannter Feuerschiffe zu Ende. Diese wiesen als "schwimmende Leuchttürme" der internationalen Schifffahrt den sicheren Weg durch die Sandbänke in die Elbmündung oder nach See. Ähnlich wurden deutsche Feuerschiffe auf der Weser, in der Jademündung und der Deutschen Bucht oder in der Ostsee eingesetzt. Für die internationalen Gewässer galt ähnliches.

Die Besatzungen waren nicht nur notwendig, um die Feuerschiffe zu betreiben, sondern sie halfen Menschen in Seenot oder holten über Funk Hilfe herbei, beobachteten den Schiffsverkehr, Wind, Wasser und Wetter und gaben Meldungen weiter. Ein Feuerschiff hatte seine Position unter allen Umständen ständig zu halten.

Siegfried Lenz schrieb in seinem Buch "Das Feuerschiff":

"Wenn ein Schiff draußen untergeht, dann ist es ein einzelnes Unglück und gehört zu dem Preis, den die Seeleute zahlen müssen, aber wenn ein Feuerschiff von seinem Standort verschwindet, hört die Ordnung auf See auf."

Das galt sicher bis 1988. Später sollten die nautischen Aufgaben von unbemannten Feuerschiffen weitergeführt werden. Diese fielen aber bereits nach einigen Jahren der See zum Opfer und wurden über dies durch moderne Navigationstechniken ganz überflüssig. Ob das auch für die Männer gilt, die einst für die vielen anderen Aufgaben ihren Dienst taten, bleibt dahingestellt.

Die "ELBE 1" ist nach ihrer Position so benannt. Ihr eigentlicher Schiffsname ist BÜRGERMEISTER O´SWALD.

Am 27. Oktober 1936 kenterte in einem schweren Orkan auf seiner Position ein Feuerschiff gleichen Namens und sank mit 15 Besatzungsmitgliedern, die an dieser Stelle ihr Seemannsgrab fanden. Ein ähnliches Unglück ereignete sich bereits am Zweiten Weihnachtstag 1824. Beim Untergang des Signalschiffes "Seestern" fanden acht Besatzungsmitglieder und zwei Lotsen den Seemannstod.

Am 7. November 1948 wurde die heutige ELBE 1 in Dienst gestellt. Schiff und Besatzungen erfüllten bis zum 22. April 1988 teilweise unter schweren Bedingungen ihre Aufgaben. Nach der Außerdienststellung wurde das Schiff von der Stadt Cuxhaven erworben und liegt heute im Alten Hafen von Cuxhaven. Es kann dort zu bestimmten Zeiten besichtigt werden. Betreut wird es von Mitgliedern des "Feuerschiff-Verein ELBE 1 von 2001 e.V." Cuxhaven. Die Unterkünfte mit Kammern, Kombüse, Mannschafts- und Offiziersmesse sind für Besucher ebenso zugänglich wie der eindrucksvolle Maschinenraum und natürlich die Kommandobrücke. Alle nautischen und technischen Einrichtungen sind in einem betriebsbereiten Zustand und wurden im Jahre 2002 mit modernen Navigationsgeräten ergänzt. Das Schiff unterliegt der Aufsicht des Germanischen Lloyds und erfüllt die Sicherheitsvorschriften der See-Berufsgenossenschaft.

Dadurch unterscheidet sich das Cuxhavener Feuerschiff von vielen anderen Museumsschiffen. Es ist in der Lage, Fahrten zu maritimen Veranstaltungen in anderen Häfen zu unternehmen. Die dafür erforderliche ehrenamtliche Besatzung stellt der Feuerschiff-Verein Cuxhaven. An den Fahrten können Fahrgäste in begrenzter Zahl gegen Erstattung der Unkosten teilnehmen.

Die Offiziersmesse, ein Traditionsraum, dient heute u.a. dem Cuxhavener Standesamt als Trauzimmer. Nach Voranmeldung beim Standesamt Cuxhaven können Brautpaare hier in den "Hafen der Ehe" einlaufen.

Die ehemalige Werkstatt des Schiffszimmermanns - das "Timmer-mannshok" - ist, zum Teil seinem früherem Zweck angepasst - zu einem Begegnungsraum bei Veranstaltungen hergerichtet worden. Hier finden bis zu 40 Personen Platz. Ähnliches gilt auch für einen Teil des Bootsdecks, das durch Planen geschützt, sommertags im Hafen und auf Reisen ca. 60 Personen in der maritimen Bord-Atmosphäre Platz bietet - betreut durch die ELBE1-Crew.

Unity is an essential ingredient for building a strong and thriving church, household, marriage, city and nation. It is something we should guard at all costs as disunity brings with it serious consequences, and is a strategy the enemy uses to break down and weaken our impact.

In Matthew 12:25, Jesus warned: ‘Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.’

Jesus speaks of a ‘kingdom’, which to me suggests something that was once strong and solid, and a ‘house’ being destroyed by division. It also tells us that this scripture can be applied not only to a nation, city or church, but also to our personal life, marriage, family and work.

Conversely, the Bible contains many scriptures equating victory and blessing to a spirit of unity. With unity comes strength, effectiveness and longevity. The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 3 that, ‘two are better than one’, but two are only better if they’re united in vision, direction and cause. Unity, whether in a family or church setting, is a powerful force.

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.

In mid May, we drove thirteen hours from Georgia up the Shenandoah Valley and across the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Wayne, PA, arriving at the gates of this great American Garden just before 6:00 PM to take advantage of the 8:00 Friday closing time. I've now put up a set of shots taken quickly over the two hours just before the garden closed that afternoon.

If you have time, you can click on the set and run the SLIDESHOW in FullScreen Mode to follow us around the garden: www.flickr.com/photos/ugardener/sets/72157629915442950/wi...

Here is an EXTENSIVE Plant List that shows the kind of horticultural craftsmanship and attention to detail that makes this garden and the staff who run it so special:

www.chanticleergarden.org/pdffiles/Chanticleer.pdf

..

Here is a link to the garden's beautiful website, and a quote from it about its history:

www.chanticleergarden.org/

"The Chanticleer estate dates from the early 20th-century, when land along the Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was developed for summer homes to escape the heat of Philadelphia. Adolph Rosengarten, Sr., and his wife Christine chose the Wayne-St. Davids area to build their country retreat. The family's pharmaceutical firm would become part of Merck & Company in the 1920s.

The Rosengartens hired architect and former classmate Charles L. Borie to design the house, which was completed in 1913. Landscape architect Thomas Sears designed the terraces as extensions of the house. A 1924 addition converted the summer home into a year-round residence and the family moved here permanently.

Mr. Rosengarten's humor is evident in naming his home after the estate "Chanticlere" in Thackeray's 1855 novel The Newcomes. The fictional Chanticlere was "mortgaged up to the very castle windows" but "still the show of the county." Playing on the word, which is synonymous with "rooster," the Rosengartens used rooster motifs throughout the estate.

Adolph and Christine gave their two children homes as wedding presents. They purchased a neighboring property for son Adolph, Jr. and his bride Janet Newlin in 1933. It is now the site of the Ruin. Daughter Emily's house, located at today's visitor entrance, was built for her in 1935. It is presently used for offices and classrooms.

Adolph, Jr., bought his sister's portion of the estate following her death in the 1980s. He didn't move into the main house, but used it for entertaining and kept it as it was when the family lived there. The house is open for tours by reservation. Adolph, Jr., left the entire property for the enjoyment and education of the public following his death in 1990. A seven-member Board of Directors, five of whom are Rosengarten relatives, oversees The Chanticleer Foundation. The garden opened to the public in 1993. There are 17 full-time staff, of whom two manage facilities and 12 are gardeners and groundskeepers."

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.

In 39C weather this lady, who is very sensitive to the sun, found a seat in the shade to read all about the excavation and restoration projects in Hierapolis-Pamukkale, Turkey.

Hierapolis (Greek: Ἱεράπολις 'holy city') was the ancient Greek city on top of [the] hot springs located in south western Turkey near Denizli.

Hierapolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hot springs there have been used as a spa since the 2nd century BC, and people came to soothe their ailments, with many of them retiring or dying here. The large necropolis is filled with sarcophagi.

The great baths were constructed with huge stone blocks without the use of cement, and consisted of various closed or open sections linked together. There are deep niches in the inner section of the bath, library, gymnasium and other closed or open locations. The complex, which was constructed in the 2nd century BC, constitutes a good example of vault type architecture. The complex is now an archaeological museum.

Hi-Def Nature

S. splendidus, also known as the mandarin goby, is actually not a goby at all. It is a dragonette.

One of the more beautiful, albeit difficult [not impossible], marine fish to keep alive in the long term. This is in due in large part to the mandarin dragonette's picky eating attitude, normally accepting a narrow fare of live foods. If you click the link above, and view this picture large you can see that the mouth of the mandarin dragonette is very small, and puckered. This mouth shape is ideal for picking off reef micro-fauna (copepods and amphipods, and other tasties) from nooks and crannies. It is not unusual for them to accept other foods more accessible to the common hobbyist, however that said, it is not common either.

Normally, these fish are best left in the ocean unless an aquarium owner is able to provide sustenance for these little beauties. With the advent of captive bred mandarin's becoming more and more available to hobbyists, this is a more viable option to many enthusiasts as these specimens take much better to prepared foods than their wild caught kin.

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.

Ducketts Grove was designed in a Castellated Gothic revival style by Thomas A. Cobden for John Davidson Duckett circa 1825. The 18th, 19th and early 20th century home of the Duckett family, was formerly at the centre of a 12,000 acre estate that has dominated the Carlow landscape for over 300 years.The building incorporates numerous towers and turrets of varying shapes – round, square and octagonal. One tall octagonal turret rises from the structure. It is elaborately ornamented with oriels and niches containing statues.

The house itself is situated in the townland of Rainstown, between Carlow and Tullow but the estate itself comprised several large townlands and parts of others.

In September 2005 during Heritage Week, Carlow Country Council acquired Duckett’s Grove and commenced the restoration of two inter-connecting walled gardens.

Even in ruin, the surviving towers and turrets of Duckett’s Grove form a romantic profile making it one of the most photogenic historic buildings in the country.

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

Maresme. Catalonia.

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).
