Dandelion-leaf with a guest looking up to the sun!
This week the MM-task "looking up" was very challenging: first of all I didn't know whether I should look up or it should look up or .... then I looked around and found lots of things that looked up or I looked up to, but there was no possibility for a macro shot around.
Finally, I found this dandelion-leaf. It was so cute to see how it sat there alone in the grass and "looked" to the sun.
happy WEV and happy MM!
I know this was an outtake but ahh it's Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year right? X)
Too busy and tired to take a photo today >_<
Not that I partied or anything, I don't like parties unless the guest list only includes people I know and I am comfortable with.
Hope everyone had a fun NYE!
I did!
I spent my evening at a lanshop with a friend playing L4D before heading home to do homework. (Redesigning and modernizing the Minoan outfit, they're very interesting! You should check them out~! )
Probably sounds really nerdy and loserish but I enjoyed myself ^_^
2009 was a pretty shitty year with way too many ups and downs so I hope 2010 will be a much better year!
What are my New Year Resolutions?
Well honestly, I don't come up with them because I don't stick to them, but fuck that.
1. Play more video games (hopefully I will have more time!)
2. Do well in school (okay this does not really agree with my first resolution but...)
3. Take better photos
4. Become skinnier
5. Become fairer
Once again Happy New Year everyone!
...have a beautiful day ☼ ~~ Dave :-)

" Bandelier National Monument is a U.S. National Monument consisting of 32,737 acres (132.48 km²) of northern New Mexico, United States. About five-sevenths (23,367 acres (94.56 km²)) of the monument has been designated a wilderness area. The Valles Caldera National Preserve adjoins the monument on the north and east, extending into the Jemez Mountains." ~Wiki
" Bandelier National Monument is an unexpected delight, with some of the most unusual and interesting ancient ruins in the Southwest, steep narrow canyons with plentiful wildlife, mountains rising to 10,000 feet, many acres of unspoilt backcountry and a colorful section of the Rio Grande river valley. The monument is just a few minutes drive from the scientific research town of Los Alamos, and close to other popular destinations including Santa Fe, the Jemez Mountains and several historic pueblo settlements ". ~ from www.americansouthwest.net/new_mexico/bandelier/national_m...

ENGLISH
Declared a Biosphere Reserve by Unesco, Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park is located in the north east of the province of Cadiz and in the north west of Malaga, at an altitude ranging from 250 to 1,654 metres above sea level. A Special Protection Zone for Birds, the Park covers 51,695 hectares and is among the areas of greatest ecological importance in the south of the peninsula, and therefore of great significance in Spain as a whole.
It has the highest rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula, with an annual average of over 2,000 litres per square metre, and is the most important western massif of the Subbetica range.
Its heavy rainfall and limestone terrain have created a limestone landscape rich in slopes, grottoes, caves and winding gorges.
The Sierra del Pinar is an important forest of Spanish firs, considered a vegetational relic of the tertiary period.
Its main activities are centred on woodcutting and cattle farming (in some cases using wild stock). Industrial activities include the manufacture of woolen shawls and leather products; other sources of income are tourism, hunting and recreational fishing.
Initial eco-development experiments and other development initiatives have been carried out here.
Human presence in the area dates back to the Palaeolithic period and today, one of the main objectives in its management is to strike a balance between human activity and the natural environment.

La Sierra y Parque Natural de Grazalema (36°46′7″N, 5°25′51″O) es realmente un macizo compuesto por otras subsierras (Zafalgar, Pinar, Endrinal, etc.) y que a su vez forma parte de la Cordillera Penibética en su extremo más Occidental. Esta situada entre el nordeste de la Provincia de Cádiz y el noroeste de la Provincia de Málaga.
En algunos puntos de la Sierra de Grazalema se registra una pluviosidad superior a 2.500 mm,[cita requerida] a pesar de la sequía estival de la zona.
Su mayor altura es el pico del Pinar (o Torreón), con 1654 metros en la Sierra del Pinar.
La sierra de Grazalema dispone de una de las mayores colonias de buitres leonados de Europa y algunas parejas de alimoches, especie gravemente amenazada.
La composición de la Sierra de Grazalema, básicamente de rocas calizas, genera los típicos fenómenos karsticos: numerosas cuevas, desfiladeros, dolinas, etc.. Destacan la Cueva del Gato, en la que un río subterráneo recorre cinco kilómetros desde la Sima del Hundidero hasta su salida justo en el río Guadiaro, la Cueva de la Pileta, que contiene pinturas rupestres y que se puede visitar con restricciones y utilizando candiles, y la Garganta Verde, estrecho y profundo desfiladero que sirve de único desagüe a toda la Sierra del Pinar.
Por estas y otras características únicas fue declarada en 1977 Reserva de la biosfera por la UNESCO.

Josef Fritzl and Wolfgang Priklopil - I guess, you all know these Names and I don't have to explain the Stories behind. A dark Chapter, but it's Part of our History now... you can believe me: This is NOT typical Austrian!!! How many Humans may still stay, or have died in the Cellars of this World and nobody ever knew...???
Well, if there's a Hell, such People must burn there. They can't receive their just Deserts by a Court of this World - even the Electrocution would be a too lenient Sentence...
I will never understand, how a Human can do so much Pain to another Human. Even if they are the own Children.
Jeanny - I hope, you can hear this Song in your Country. I guess, it's forbidden in some Countries. It's a Song by Austrian Singer Falco about a Child Abduction - it's the first Part of a Trilogy, which was not ended (Falco died before finishing Part 3). It's weird, but this Song fits perfect to the Abduction of Natascha Kampusch - it was composed before she was kidnapped...

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 jelen)
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.

Title may be funny but then it is real... at the beaches of Southern California. this summer we had no sun. In fact. my home, which is about 15 miles inland, had no summer this year either and it is fall time already! So this picture is in memoriam to our summer sun of this year.
I had the original version of this picture posted to flickr here: www.flickr.com/photos/angela_a_stanton/4541665893/ which was the unaltered version. Here I tested a new software's beta release called Oloneo PhotoEngine. It is pretty cool! The beta is a free download (google the name and you will find it). Supposedly it works until November 1st, when the final release should come--which includes a variety of things, including HDR processing.
Here I used some tone mapping akin of HDR and then played with the controls left and right.. this is a really cool result from that gloomy picture. =)

Grey crowned crane ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~
The grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. They can also be found in marshes, cultivated lands and grassy flatlands near rivers and lakes in eastern from the Uganda and Kenya, south to South Africa. This animal does not migrate. There are two subspecies. The East African B. r. gibbericeps (crested crane) occurs from eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo through Uganda, of which it is the national bird represented in its national flag, and Kenya to eastern South Africa. It has a larger area of bare red facial skin above the white patch than the smaller nominate species, B. r. regulorum (South African crowned crane), which breeds from Angola south to South Africa. This species and the closely related black-crowned crane are the only cranes that can roost in trees, because of a long hind toe that can grasp branches. This habit, amongst other things, is a reason why the relatively small Balearica cranes are believed to closely resemble the ancestral members of the Gruidae.
Behaviour ~ The grey crowned crane has a breeding display involving dancing, bowing, and jumping. It has a booming call which involves inflation of the red gular sac. It also makes a honking sound quite different from the trumpeting of other crane species. Both sexes dance, and immature birds join the adults. Dancing is an integral part of courtship, but also may be done at any time of the year.
Flocks of 30-150 birds are not uncommon.
Reproduction ~ During the breeding season, pairs of cranes construct a large nest; a platform of grass and other plants in tall wetland vegetation. The grey crowned crane lays a clutch of 2-5 glossy, dirty-white eggs, which are incubated by both sexes for 28–31 days. Chicks are precocial, can run as soon as they hatch, and fledge in 56–100 days.
Description ~ The grey crowned crane is about 1 m (3.3 ft) tall and weighs 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs)and a wingspan of 2 m (6.5 ft). Its body plumage is mainly grey. The wings are also predominantly white, but contain feathers with a range of colours. The head has a crown of stiff golden feathers. The sides of the face are white, and there is a bright red inflatable throat pouch. The bill is relatively short and grey, and the legs are black. They have long legs for wading through the grasses. The feet are large, yet slender, adapted for balance rather than defence or grasping. The sexes are similar, although males tend to be slightly larger. Young birds are greyer than adults, with a feathered buff face.

Caroline laughs and it's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight
She turns her self round and
She smiles and she says
"This is it,
that's the end of the joke"
and loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
and her lovers walk through in their coats
She's pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she
All of her lovers all talk of her notes
and the flowers that they never sent
And wasn't she easy
and isn't she pretty in pink
the one who insists he was first in the line
is the last to remember her name
he's walking around in this dress that she wore
she is gone but the joke's the same
Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Caroline talks to you softly sometimes
She says "I love you" and "Too much"
She doesn't have anything you want to steal
Well nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide
Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she
I realise that most of you live too far away to be able to come along but on Tuesday 12 October I'll be giving a talk to North Cheshire Photographic Society about my photos: www.ncps.org.uk/pages/syllabus/syllabus.html
The talk is scheduled to last for about an hour and a half. I've never done any public speaking lasting longer than a few minutes so, as you can imagine, I'm a little apprehensive and I'm now regretting having agreed to the thing! :-)
For the first hour I'll be showing lots of my own photos using a digital projector as well as discussing the work of photographers who have inspired me, like our own Leeechy www.flickr.com/photos/leechypics/ who first showed me over at DPR that photography could be an art form, as well as the work of iconic photographers like Michael Kenna: www.michaelkenna.net/
In the final 30 minutes of the talk (after a tea break!) I'm going to be discussing basic tips on photographic composition.
Anyone who would like to come will be made very welcome!

La Torre del Merino, també anomenada La torrona està situada a l'antiga plaça del mercado de Santillana del Mar a Catàbria. Es tracta d'una torre del segle XIV, rematada por merlets. S'anomena d'aquesta manera ja que era el lloc on vivia el merino, funcionari que s'encarregava de l'administració econòmica, financera i judicial d'un territori.
------
The Torre del Merino (Merino's Tower), also known as La torrona (the big tower) is located in the old market square in Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, Spain. It is a tower from the 16th century, with battlements. It is called like this because it was the place where the merino lived. The merino was a clerk who was in charge of the economical, financial and judicial administration of a territory.

Here is a description from the current Wikipedia article:
Snowshill Manor was the property of Winchcombe Abbey from 821 until 1539 when the Abbey was confiscated by King Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Between 1539 and 1919 it had a number of tenants and owners until it was purchased by Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist-craftsman, collector, poet and heir to the family fortune. He restored the property, living in the small cottage in the garden and using the manor house as a home for his collection of objects. He gave the property and the contents of this collection to the National Trust in 1951.
There are two aspects of Snowshill Manor: its garden and the manor house, which is now home to Wade's eclectic collection. The garden at Snowshill was laid out by Wade, in collaboration with Arts and Crafts movement architect, M H Baillie-Scott, between 1920 and 1923 as a series of outside rooms seen as an extension to the house. Features include terraces and ponds. The manor house is a typical Cotswold house, made from local stone; the main part of the house dates from the 16th century.
Today, the main attraction of the house is perhaps the display of Wade's collection. From 1900 until 1951, when he gave the Manor to the National Trust, Wade amassed an enormous and eclectic collection of objects reflecting his interest in craftsmanship. The objects in the collection include 26 suits of Japanese samurai armour dating from the 17th and 19th centuries; bicycles; toys; musical instruments and more. On October 5, 2003, the house was closed and its entire contents removed in order to effect a number of repairs. In particular, the electrical wiring needed updating, new fire, security and environmental monitoring systems were installed, and the existing lighting was improved. The house reopened on March 25, 2005.
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.

If you're interested in this type of photography, you might find those tips useful:
-Try to find a snowflake that is isolated from the others : some have really nice shapes but you'll have troubles shooting them if they're amid a busy background.
-Be swift : depending on the weather conditions, snowflakes might not stay intact for more than a few seconds.
-You'll want to use some kind of strobe to close the aperture down and buy yourself some depth of field.
-Don't put the strobe too close from the flake, it would just meld it down.
-Use some kind of snoot to concentrate the light exactly where you want it. I used a spaghetti box around my SB600.
-Hold your breath! Breathing close to the flake would destroy it, and apnea helps you staying steady while shooting.
-Put your lens axis perfectly perpendicular to the flake's plane.
-As usual with macrophotography, don't use autofocus (or manual focus for that matter) : lock the focus ring and just move your camera towards the subject or away from it to achieve focus.
-The DOF is so shallow that you'll probably need some luck to nail the focus : use the SPAM approach, shoot 30 pictures and hope than 1 comes out OK!
-If you use the "reversed lens macro technique", find a way to keep the lenses together. The best option would be some macro reverse ring with the appropriate threads.
-Prepare all your gear in a warm and cozy place before you bring them out in the cold : the best temperatures for snowflakes seem to be between -20°C and -10°C.
-If you use gloves, make sure they are as thin as possible to allow for this precision job.
Have fun shooting, and please don't hesitate to share tips!

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.

Schiphol is an important European airport, ranking as Europe’s 3rd largest and the world’s 14th largest for cargo tonnage. It also ranks as the world’s 3rd largest by international passenger traffic as well as Europe’s 5th and the world’s 14th busiest by overall passenger volume. Additionally, Schiphol ranks as Europe’s 5th and the world’s 17th busiest airport by number of flights, handling 446,569 traffic movements in 2008, a 1.7% drop on 2007. Schiphol's main competitors as in passenger and cargo throughput are London Heathrow Airport, Frankfurt Airport, Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Madrid-Barajas Airport. In 2007, Schiphol handled 47,430,019 passengers in 2008, 0.8% down on 2007, ranking it fifth in Europe behind London, Paris, Frankfurt and Madrid. There are 188 loading slots in the whole airport. About 68% of the passenger flights were to Europe, almost 21% of its passengers travelled on intercontinental flights and 11% to Asia; cargo was mainly headed to Asia (44%) and North America (20%). In the same year, Schiphol handled 1,602,585 tons of cargo in 2008, a 3% downturn on 2007, ranking it third in Europe behind Paris and Frankfurt. In 2005 direct flights were operated to more than 260 destinations in 91 countries. The airport is one out of four airports in the world to have a rating of four stars in Skytrax's grading system.
Schiphol has five main runways, plus one used mainly by general aviation aircraft. The northern end of the Polderbaan, the name of last runway to be constructed, is 7 km north of the control tower, causing lengthy taxi times (up to 20 min) to the terminal. Plans have been made for a seventh runway.
The airport is built as one large terminal, split into three large departure halls, which converge again once airside. The most recent of these was completed in 1994, and expanded in 2007 with a new part, named Terminal 4, although this part is not recognised as a separate building. Plans for further terminal expansion exist, including the construction of a separate new terminal between the Zwanenburgbaan and Polderbaan runways that would end the one-terminal concept.
Because of intense traffic and high landing fees, some low cost carriers decided to move their flights to smaller airports, such as Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Eindhoven Airport. Many low cost carriers (like easyJet or Bmibaby) continue to operate from Schiphol, using the low-cost H-pier.
Schiphol is the home base of KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines), Arkefly, Martinair, Amsterdam Airlines and Transavia.
The Schiphol Air traffic control tower, with a height of 101 metres (331 ft), was the tallest in the world when constructed in 1991. Schiphol is geographically one of the world's lowest major commercial airports. The entire airport is below sea level; the lowest point sits at 11 feet (3.4 m) below sea level (or 4.5 feet (1.4 m) below the Dutch Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP)); the runways are around 3 metres (9.8 ft) below NAP.

Steve and I went out tonight to scout some locations for some future shoots we have planned. We were also taking some background shots for some later composites. We had a blast and got into some trouble, but hey we didn't get caught, that's all I'll say...lol.
I grew up in Orange County, right in the heart of downtown. Chapman University, The Circle, The Block, Angel Stadium, Disneyland, and Honda Center all within a 5 minute drive from here. It was a great place to grow up at, and this alley has been around forever! We decided to set up a few lights and get the "infamous" jump shot. Also we have never taken any pictures together and decided it was time we threw something up. We want to thank the encouragement and support we get from all of you. Thank you.
We are putting the finishing touches on our first "promo" video and will be posting something soon up on the blog about it. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this shot!
Enjoy,

From Wikipedia;
It was known that John Radcliffe, physician to William III and Mary II of England, intended to build a library in Oxford at least two years before his death in 1714. It was thought that the new building would be an extension westwards of the Selden End of the Bodleian Library. Francis Atterbury, Dean of Christ Church thought a 90 ft room would be built on Exeter College land, and that the lower storey would be a library for Exeter College and the upper story Radcliffe's Library. Such plans were indeed prepared, by Nicholas Hawksmoor (fourteen 'Designs of Printing and Town Houses of Oxford by Mr. Hawksmoor' were among the drawings offered for sale after Hawksmoor's death), the plans are now in the Ashmolean Museum. Radcliffe's will, however, proved on 8 December 1714, clearly showed his intention that the library be built in the position it now occupies, stating:
And will that my executors pay forty thousand pounds in the terme of ten years, by yearly payments of four thousand pounds, the first payment thereof to begin and be made after the decease of my said two sisters for the building a library in Oxford and the purchaseing the house the houses [sic] between St Maries and the scholes in Catstreet where I intend the Library to be built, and when the said Library is built I give one hundred and fifty pounds per annum for ever to the Library Keeper thereof for the time being and one hundred pounds a year per annum for ever for buying books for the same Library.[2]
A number of tenement houses fronting Catte Street, built right up to the Schools, some gardens, Brasenose College outbuildings and Black Hall occupied the site required for the library. A number of colleges became involved in the development of the site. An added problem was that Brasenose required an equal amount of land fronting High Street in return for the land they were being asked to give up. As a consequence, the Trustees had to negotiate with the owners and the tenants of the houses. An Act of Parliament was passed in 1720 that enabled any corporations within the University to sell ground for building a library. The negotiations dealing with Catte Street took over twenty years.[2]
The choice of architect had been considered as early as 1720 - Christopher Wren, John Vanbrugh, Thomas Archer, John James, Nicholas Hawksmoor, and James Gibbs were considered. In 1734 Hawksmoor and Gibbs were invited to submit plans. Hawksmoor made a wooden model of his design which is in the Bodleian. Gibbs was eventually chosen for the building.[2]
On 17 May 1737, the foundation stone was laid. The progress of the building and the craftsmen employed is detailed both in the Minute Books of the Trustees and the Building Book, which supplement information given by Gibbs in his Bibliotheca Radcliviana. An extract states:
Mr. William Townsend of Oxford, and Mr. William Smith of Warwick, were employed to be masons; Mr. John Philipps to be the carpenter and joiner; Mr. George Devall to be plumber; Mr. Townsend junior to be stone carver; Mr. Linel of Long-acre, London, to be carver in wood; Mr. Artari, an Italian, to be their plaisterer in the fret work way; Mr. Michael Rysbrack to be sculptor, to cut the Doctor's figure in marble; and Mr. Blockley to be locksmith.
Francis Smith, the father of William, was chosen as one of the masons, but died in 1738 and was succeeded by his son near the beginning of building. In 1739, John Townesend also succeeded his father on the latter's death.[2]
The building was completed in 1748, and a librarian appointed, as was a porter. The opening ceremony took place on 13 April 1749 and soon known as 'the Physic Library'. Despite its name, its acquisitions were varied for the first sixty years, but from 1811 its intake was confined to works of a scientific nature. During the first half of the 19th century the collections included coins, marbles, candelabra, busts, plaster casts, and statues. These collections have since been moved to more appropriate sites. Between 1909 and 1912 an underground book store of two floors was constructed beneath the north lawn of the library with a tunnel connecting it with the Bodleian, invisibly linking the two buildings, something envisaged by Henry Acland in 1861.[2]
After the Radcliffe Science Library moved into another building, the Radcliffe Camera became home to additional reading rooms of the Bodleian Library. The freehold of the building and adjoining land was transferred from the Radcliffe Trustees to the University in 1927. The interior of the upper reading-room houses a six ft. marble statue of John Radcliffe, carved by John Michael Rysbrack.[2] It now holds books from the English, history, and theology collections, mostly secondary sources found on Undergraduate and Graduate reading lists. There is space for around 600,000 books in rooms beneath Radcliffe Square.
Contemporaries found great irony in the fact that the iconoclast Radcliffe, who scorned book-learning, should bequeath a substantial sum for the founding of the Radcliffe Library. Sir Samuel Garth quipped that the endowment was “about as logical as if a eunuch should found a seraglio.”[3]
The building is the earliest example in England of a circular library. It is built in three main stages externally and two stories internally, the upper one containing a gallery. The ground stage is heavily rusticated and has a series of eight pedimented projections. The central stage is divided into bays by coupled Corinthian columns supporting the entablature. The top stage is a balustraded parapet with vases. The construction used local stone from Headington and Burford, which was then ashlar faced. The dome and cupola are covered with lead. The original plan was for a stone dome, but after building 5 ft. 8 in. of the stonework, it had to be removed and the design was changed. Inside, the original walls and dome were distempered but this was later removed, revealing the decorations to be carved in stone. Only the decorative work of the dome is plaster.[2]
Originally, the basement was an open arched arcade with a vaulted stone ceiling, with Radcliffe's coat of arms in the centre. The arcade arches were fitted with iron grilles, three of them were gates which were closed at night, and which gave access to the library via grand staircase. In 1863, when the building had become a reading-room of the Bodleian, the arches were glazed, a new entrance was created on the north side in place of a circular window, with stone steps leading up to the entrance.[2]
The area around the Library was originally partly paved, partly cobbled, and partly gravelled. In 1751 stone posts and obelisks surmounted by lamps were placed around the perimeter. All but the three at the entrance to Brasenose Lane were removed around 1827 when the lawns were laid and iron railings, which were removed in 1936, installed.

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or "Fountain of the Four Rivers" is a fountain in Rome, Italy, located in the Piazza Navona. Designed by Gianlorenzo Bernini, it is emblematic of the dynamic and dramatic effects sought by High Baroque artists. It was erected in 1651 in front of the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, and yards from the Pamphilj Palace belonging to this fountain's patron, Innocent X (1644-1655).
The four gods on the corners of the fountain represent the four major rivers of the world known at the time: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Plate. The design of each god figure has symbolic importance.
Design
Bernini's design was selected in competition. The circumstances of his victory are described as follows:
So strong was the sinister influence of the rivals of Bernini on the mind of Innocent that when he planned to set up in Piazza Navona the great obelisk brought to Rome by the Emperor Caracalla, which had been buried for a long time at Capo di Bove for the adornment of a magnificent fountain, the Pope had designs made by the leading architects of Rome without an order for one to Bernini. Prince Niccolò Ludovisi, whose wife was niece to the pope, persuaded Bernini to prepare a model, and arrange for it to be secretly installed in a room in the Palazzo Pamphili that the Pope had to pass. When the meal was finished, seeing such a noble creation, he stopped almost in ecstasy. Being prince of the keenest judgment and the loftiest ideas, after admiring it, said: “This is a trick … It will be necessary to employ Bernini in spite of those who do not wish it, for he who desires not to use Bernini’s designs, must take care not to see them.”
Paraphrase from Filippo Baldinucci, The life of Cavaliere Bernini (1682)
Public fountains in Rome served multiple purposes: first, they were highly needed sources of water for neighbors in the centuries prior to home plumbing. Second, they were monuments to the papal patrons. Earlier Bernini fountains had been the Fountain of the Triton in Piazza Barberini, the fountain of the Moor in the southern end of Piazza Navona erected during the Barberini papacy, and the Neptune and Triton for Villa Montalto, whose statuary now resides at Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Each has animals and plants that further carry forth the identification, and each carries a certain number of allegories and metaphors with it. The Ganges carries a long oar, representing the river's navigability. The Nile's head is draped with a loose piece of cloth, meaning that no one at that time knew exactly where the Nile's source was. The Danube touches the Papal coat of arms, since it is the large river closest to Rome. And the Río de la Plata is sitting on a pile of coins, a symbol of the riches America could offer to Europe (the word plata means silver in Spanish). Also, the Río de la Plata looks scared by a snake, showing rich men's fear that their money could be stolen. Each is a river god, semi-prostrate, in awe of the central tower, epitomized by the slender Egyptian obelisk (built for the Roman Serapeum in AD 81), symbolizing by Papal power surmounted by the Pamphili symbol (dove). In addition, the fountain is a theater in the round, a spectacle of action, that can be strolled around. Water flows and splashes from a jagged and pierced mountainous disorder of travertine marble. A legend, common with tour-guides, is that Bernini positioned the cowering Rio de la Plata River as if the sculpture was fearing the facade of the church of Sant'Agnese by his rival Borromini could crumble against him; in fact, the fountain was completed several years before Borromini began work on the church.
The dynamic fusion of architecture and sculpture made this fountain revolutionary when compared to prior Roman projects, such as the stilted designs Acqua Felice and Paola by Fontana in Piazza San Bernardo (1585-87) or the customary embellished geometric floral-shaped basin below a jet of water such as the Fontanina in Piazza Campitelli (1589) by Giacomo della Porta.
Unveiling
he Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was unveiled to the populace of Rome on 12 June 1651. According to a report from the time, an event was organised to draw people to the Piazza Navona. Beforehand, wooden scaffolding, overlaid with curtains, had hidden the fountain, though probably not the obelisk, which would have given people an idea that something was being built, but the precise details were unknown. Once unveiled, the full majesty of the fountain would be apparent, which the celebrations were designed to advertise. The festival was paid for by the Pamphili family, to be specific, Innocent X, who had sponsored the erection of the fountain. The most conspicuous item on the Pamphili crest, an olive branch, was brandished by the performers who took part in the event.
The author of the report, Antonio Bernal, takes his readers through the hours leading up to the unveiling. The celebrations were announced by a woman, dressed as the allegorical character of Fame, being paraded around the streets of Rome on a carriage or float. She was sumptuously dressed, with wings attached to her back and a long trumpet in her hand. Bernal notes that "she went gracefully through all the streets and all the districts that are found among the seven hills of Rome, often blowing the round bronze [the trumpet], and urging everyone to make their way to that famous Piazza." A second carriage followed her; this time another woman was dressed as the allegorical figure of Curiosity. According to the report, she continued exhorting the people to go towards the piazza. Bernal describes the clamour and noise of the people as they discussed the upcoming event.
The report is actually less detailed about the process of publicly unveiling the fountain. However, it does give ample descriptions of the responses of the spectators who had gathered in the Piazza. Once there, Bernal notes, the citizens of the city were overwhelmed by the massive fountain, with its huge life-like figures. The report mentions the "enraptured souls" of the population, the fountain, which "gushes out a wealth of silvery treasures" causing "no little wonder" in the onlookers. Bernal then continues to describe the fountain, making continuous reference to the seeming naturalism of the figures and its astonishing effect on those in the piazza.
The making of the fountain was met by opposition by the people of Rome for several reasons. First, Innocent X had the fountain built at public expense during the intense famine of 1646-48. Throughout the construction of the fountain, the city murmurred and talk of riot was in the air. Pasquinade writers protested the construction of the fountain in September 1648 by attaching hand-written invectives on the stone blocks used to make the obelisk. These pasquinades read, "We do not want Obelisks and Fountains, It is bread that we want. Bread, Bread, Bread!" Innocent quickly had the authors arrested, and disguised spies patrol the Pasquino statue and Piazza Navona
The streetvendors of the market also opposed the construction of the fountain, as Innocent X expelled them from the piazza. The Pamphilij pope believed they detracted from the magnificence of the square. The vendors refused to move, and the papal police had to chase them from the piazza. Roman Jews, in particular, lamented the closing of the Navona, since they were allowed to sell used articles of clothing there at the Wednesday market.
Navona Square (Piazza Navona).
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Piazza Navona is a city square in Rome, Italy. It is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in first century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium.[1] The ancient Romans came there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is believed that over time the name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'.
Defined as a public space in the last years of 15th century, when the city market was transferred to it from the Campidoglio, the Piazza Navona is a significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art. It features sculptural and architectural creations: in the center stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi; and the Pamphilj palace also by Rainaldi and which features the gallery frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.
The Piazza Navona has two additional fountains: at the southern end is the Fontana del Moro with a basin and four Tritons sculpted by Giacomo della Porta (1575) to which, in 1673, Bernini added a statue of a Moor, or African, wrestling with a dolphin, and at the northern end is the Fountain of Neptune (1574) created by Giacomo della Porta. The statue of Neptune in the northern fountain, the work of Antonio Della Bitta, was added in 1878 to make that fountain more symmetrical with La Fontana del Moro in the south.
At the southwest end of the piazza is the ancient 'speaking' statue of Pasquino. Erected in 1501, Romans could leave lampoons or derogatory social commentary attached to the statue.
During its history, the piazza has hosted theatrical events and other ephemeral activities. From 1652 until 1866, when the festival was suppressed, it was flooded on every Saturday and Sunday in August in elaborate celebrations of the Pamphilj family. The pavement level was raised in the 19th century and the market was moved again in 1869 to the nearby Campo de' Fiori. A Christmas market is held in the piazza.
Other monuments on the Piazza Navona are:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Palazzo Braschi (Museo di Roma)
Sant'Agnese in Agone
Literature and films
The piazza is featured in Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons, in which the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi "The Fountain of the four rivers"(the Danube, the Gange, the Nile and the River Plate) is listed as one of the Altars of Science. During June 2008, Ron Howard directed several scenes of the film adaptation of Angels and Demons on the southern section of the Piazza Navona, featuring Tom Hanks.
The piazza is featured in several scenes of director Mike Nichols' 1970 adaptation of Joseph Heller's novel, Catch-22.
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was used in the 1990 film Coins in the Fountain. The characters threw coins into the fountain as they made wishes. The Trevi Fountain was used in the 1954 version of the film.
A Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi, é maior das três fontes, localizada no centro da praça. Na fonte dos rios, Bernini projetou quatro estátuas representando os rios dos quatro continentes: o Nilo, o Danúbio, o rio da Prata e o Ganges. As estátuas estão montadas sobre um obelisco egípcio, sendo circundadas por leões e outros animais fantásticos, tendo no cume uma pomba em bronze, símbolo da paz no mundo e da família Pamphili. Para realçar a rivalidade entre Bernini e Borromini, que fez a igreja de Santa Agnese, os romanos criaram uma lenda em torno da fonte dos rios, que fica em frente a esta igreja. Segundo os romanos, as estátuas duvidam da solidez do projeto de Borromini. A que retrata o rio da Prata, tem a mão erguida, a proteger o corpo do desabamento da igreja; a que retrata o Nilo, traz a cabeça coberta por um véu, a recusar a ver a obra de Borromini.
A seguir um texto, em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia Livre:
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios), foi esculpida por Gian Lorenzo Bernini entre 1648 e 1651, artista do barroco italiano, foi concebida por uma ordem do Papa Inocencio X o Papa da familia Pamphili, cujo tinha sua casa nesta praça.
Esta localizada na Praça de Navona, em Roma. Ela representa os quatro principais continentes do mundo cortados por seus principais rios: Rio Nilo, na África; Rio Ganges, na Ásia, Rio da Prata, na América e o Rio Danúbio, na Europa.
A seguir, texto em português do site Wiki lingue:
A escultura da Fonte dos Quatro Rios, encontra-se na Piazza Navona de Roma (Itália) e foi criada e talhada pelo escultor e pintor Gian Lorenzo Bernini em 1651 baixo o papado de Inocencio X, em plena época barroca, durante o período mais prolífico do genial artista e cerca da que em outro tempo fué a Chiesa dei San Giacomo de gli Spagnoli
A fonte compõe-se de uma base formada de uma grande piscina elíptica, coroada em seu centro de uma grande mole de mármol, sobre a qual se eleva um obelisco egípcio de época romana, o obelisco de Domiciano .
As estátuas que compõem a fonte, têm umas dimensões maiores que na realidade e são alegorias dos quatro rios principais da Terra (Nilo, Ganges, Danubio, Rio da Prata), a cada um deles em um dos continentes conhecidos na época. Na fonte a cada um destes rios está representado por um gigante de mármol .
As árvores e as plantas que emergem da água e que se encontram entre as rochas, também estão em uma escala maior que na realidade. Os animais e vegetales, gerados de uma natureza boa e útil, pertencem a espécies grandes e potentes (como o leão, cavalo, cocodrilo, serpente, dragão, etc.). O espectador, girando em torno da fonte, descobre novas formas que dantes estavam escondidas ou cobertas pela massa rocosa. Com esta obra, Bernini quer suscitar admiração em quem olha-a, criando um pequeno universo em movimento a imitação do espaço da realidade natural.
A fonte foi submetida a restauração, um trabalho que se deu por concluído em dezembro de 2008. Constitui um dos palcos finque da novela e o filme Anjos e Demónios, à qual é arrojado um dos cardeais sequestrados, e Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) se lança à água para lhe salvar.
Os animais da fonte
A fonte apresenta figuras de sete animais, além de uma pequena pomba e o emblema dos Pamphili. Para poder observá-las basta com dar uma volta ao redor da fonte. As figuras são: um cavalo, uma serpente de terra (na parte mais alta, cerca do obelisco), uma serpente de mar, um delfín (que funciona também como desagüe), um cocodrilo, um leão e um dragão. Notar também a vegetación esculpida que parece real.
Praça Navona.
A seguir, um texto em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia livre:
A Praça Navona (em italiano: Piazza Navona) é uma das mais célebres praças de Roma. A sua forma assemelha-se à dos antigos estádios da Roma Antiga, seguindo a planificação do Estádio de Domiciano (também denominado entre os italianos de Campomarzio, em virtude da natureza rude e esforçada dos exercícios - manejo de armas - e desportos atléticos que aí se realizavam). Albergaria até 20 mil espectadores sentados nas bancadas. A origem do nome deve-se ao nome pomposo que lhe foi dado ao tempo do Imperador Domiciano (imperador entre 81-96 d.c.): "Circo Agonístico" (do étimo grego Agonia, que significa precisamente - exercício, luta, combate). Actualmente o nome corresponde à corruptela da forma posterior in agone, depois nagone e finalmente navone, que por mero acaso significa também "grande navio" na língua italiana.
As casas que entretanto e com o passar dos anos foram sendo construídas sobre as bancadas, delimitariam e circunscreveriam até à actualidade o tão afamado Circo Agonístico.
A Navona passou de fato a caracterizar-se como praça nos últimos anos do século XV, quando o mercado da cidade foi transferido do Capitólio para aí. Foi remodelada para um estilo monumental por vontade do Papa Inocêncio X, da família Pamphili e é motivo de orgulho da cidade de Roma durante o período barroco. Sofreu intervenções de Gian Lorenzo Bernini (a famosa Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios, 1651) ao centro); de Francesco Borromini e Girolamo Gainaldi (a igreja de Sant'Agnese in Agone); e de Pietro de Cortona, que pintou a galeria no Palácio Pamphilj, sede da embaixada do Brasil na Itália desde 1920.
O mercado tradicional voltou a ser transferido em 1869 para o Campo de' Fiori, embora a praça mantenha também um papel fundamental em servir de palco para espectáculos de teatro e corridas de cavalos. A partir de 1652, em todos os Sábados e Domingos de Agosto, a praça tornava-se num lago para celebrar a própria família Pamphili.
A praça dispõe ainda duas outras fontes esculpidas por Giacomo della Porta - a Fontana di Nettuno (1574), na área norte da praça, e a Fontana del Moro (1576), na área sul.
Na extremidade norte da praça, por debaixo dos edifícios, foram postas a descoberto ruínas antiquíssimas, a uma cota muito abaixo da actual, comprovando a primeva utilização daquele imenso terreiro. Outros monumentos com entrada para a praça:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Curiosidades
Na Piazza Navona, está localizado o Palazzo Pamphilj, propriedade da República Federativa do Brasil, sede da Embaixada Brasileira e da Missão Diplomática do Brasil para a Itália.

I'm quite tired. The week has been tough. At Wednesday, I was in school about from 8 am till 6 pm. Then I quickly ate something and went to job and leaved there at 9 pm. When I was coming back, the banks of the Aura river just looked amazing as the trees were completely white. The whiteness is derives from the severe frost which suddenly warmed up. That doesn't happen often. I just had to pick up my camera gear (rucksack and tripod) from home. Then I packed all the gear in my back and cycled back to the river. I took some photos (eg. this photo), called to Anssi and then we took a short photowalk. It was midnight when I got back home. Then I answered and read some e-mails and took a shower. I went to sleep after 1 am. Then next day back to school at 8:30 - that's tough, hopefully this photo is worth everything... :D
By the way, I and Anssi weren't the only ones photographing the wonderful winter scenes. I saw three guys with tripods and cameras merely on the way from home to this spot! That's not in any way usual here close to 10 pm in the middle of the week. (:

So today is the last day of winter break. All i want to do is relax, but I have some hmwrk that needs to be done for tomorrow :/ James Carrol, from this new up and coming band The Sweet Escape which is going to be hitting the studio in Febuary, came over and wanted to take a few shots. We set everything up and this is what we got, its very simple and clean but I like them, and I just wanted to start shooting again!
I've got a couple promo's lined up for this month so I'm really stoked about that, im exited to see what 2010 is going to bring and I know that im going to be making the best of whatever it throws at me, as should everyone else.
But I have some things planned for this week, hopefully everything follows through and I can get back into shooting daily again. And I have a lot of work to do with some more great clothing companies which everyone should be seeing very shortly! :]
&&& Go check out The Sweet Escape they are playing a FREE acoustic show at the Treasure Coast Mall, in Hot Topic Jan 29th! So if your in the area def go and check it out!

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.

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!

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

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.

... 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.
Aguila calva , águila americana, águila de cabeza blanca, o pigargo de cabeza blanca (Haliaeetus leucocephalus).
Es un ave rapaz de América del Norte, famosa por ser el símbolo nacional de Estados Unidos. Aparece en el Escudo Nacional de ese país.
La envergadura y peso de macho puede ser de hasta 2,5 m y 4 Kg, mientras que para la hembra es de 3 m y 6 Kg.
Su alimento preferido es el pescado (muchas águilas de cabeza blanca viven cerca del agua).
Su visión es estereoscópica, y ocho veces mejor que la humana.
El nido se llama aguilera. Las usan cada año. Un nido puede llegar a pesar 2 toneladas.
En cuanto a sus garras, cada uña es como una estaca afilada, ayudándoles a agarrar peces.
Su velocidad en picado es de 75 Km/h, para atrapar a sus presas.
Las formas inmaduras tienen plumaje pardo bataraz; la cabeza distintiva blanca y su cuerpo desarrollado surgen de 2 a 3 años más tarde, antes de la madurez sexual.
----------
American bald eagle.
It's a bird of prey in North America, famous for being the U.S. national symbol. Appears in the national emblem of that country.
The size and weight of male can be up to 2.5 m and 4 kg, while for the female is 3 m and 6 kg
His favorite food is fish (lots of bald eagles live near water).
Its vision is stereoscopic, and eight times better than human.
The nest is called aguilera. They use each year. A nest can weigh 2 tons.
As for his claws, each claw is sharp as a stake, helping them to grasp fish.
His speed dive is 75 km / h, to catch their prey.
The immature forms are bataraz brown plumage, the distinctive white head and body arise developed 2 to 3 years later, before sexual maturity.

See it on black.
The Point Betsie Lighthouse, Benzie County's most famous landmark, is located on the Lake Michigan shore of the county just south of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and just north of Frankfort, Michigan. Point Betsie is the second most photographed lighthouse in the USA, and likely the most visited attraction in Benzie County. Watching the sunsets from Point Betsie is a long-standing tradition.
* Point Betsie marks the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage.
* This point of land was originally known by the French as "Point Aux Bec Scies," meaning "sawed beak point".
* The lighthouse was built in 1858 at a cost of $5000.
* The life saving station that was built in 1875 cost $3000.
* The light sits 52 feet above the lake and has a range of 27.5 miles.
* The original lens in the light is a fourth-order Fresnel (Fre'-nel) in a bull's-eye arrangement.
* The lighthouse has had many keepers over 106 years until automated in 1983.
* The automated light now in use utilizes a plastic lens.
* National Register Status: LISTED; Reference #84001375. (See National Register of Historical Places - Benzie County)

Well, I don't know if this is the second most photographed lighthouse in the US (they never site or qualify their statement). Just off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota is more popular, and Split Rock might be "the one", but one would think that some picturesque lighthouse in Maine or somewhere else along the Eastern seaboard would qualify as more-photographed. Point Betsie *is* extremely accessible, though, which goes a long way in allowing many, many people to see it. Hm... who knows?

Messing about on the pier seeing if i can get vision for and pull off long exposures. All in all a great day despite getting drenched twice in one day in one set of clothes. It will be a miracle if i dont catch cold.
Shot with Singh Ray Vari-ND at max with color combo CPL also by Singh Ray, now thats 10 stops of light stopping power for those that are counting. I also used a 2 stop lee hard grad for the sky matched at the horizon. Some 13 seconds in camera on a tripod of course and then at home straight RAW conversion and then toned in Silvereffex. All in all round 3mins of editing- nothing quite beats filters for not spending an entire night behind a computer screen :)
Forgot to mention this was shot with a canon 5d and 17-40
BTW this is Llandudno Pier, North Wales. To the right in the distance is the off shore wind farm.
I really should dedicate this shot to my wonderful girlfriend who tolerates my photographic hobby/obsession and who patiently waited on the pier while i took 10 mins to set this shot up and then another 10 waiting for enough people to walk through the shot. Thank you hunny xx
Madrugada de Sábado 10 a Domingo 11 y en el cielo inmenso la luna más Grande y brillante de 2009, a mi me parecía el faro de Matxitxako....... :-S
A finales de diciembre pasado se pudo ver la Luna más grande y brillante de los últimos quince años.
Por si en aquella ocasión alguien se perdió el fenómeno, la pasada noche del sábado 10 de enero se pudo ver la Luna llena casi un 15% más grande y con un 30% más de brillo de lo normal. Ha sido la Luna llena más grande de 2009. ¿Por qué? El astrónomo Johannes Kepler explicó el fenómeno hace ya cuatro siglos.
La órbita de la Luna alrededor de la Tierra es elíptica y tiene un lado ubicado 50.000 km más cerca de la Tierra que el otro. La mejor ocasión para observar este fenómeno, aconsejan los astrónomos, se produce cuando la Luna se encuentra cerca del horizonte.
Los astrónomos llaman "perigeo" al punto de máximo acercamiento de la órbita de la Luna a la Tierra y es en ese punto donde la Luna estará este fin de semana. Cuando la Luna se observa cerca del horizonte provoca una ilusión que la hace ver más grande de lo normal. Más aún cuando ésta se asoma entre árboles, edificios y otros puntos de referencia en tierra.
