Well I don't have photos of hearts or flowers, but I feel like I should be somewhat in the spirit of Valentines. So making things pink is the next best thing. I shot this on my flight to Hilo on the Big Island. Hope you all have a good Vday.

Quante gocce di rugiada intorno a me,

cerco il sole ma non c'è…

Dorme ancora la campagna, forse no,

è sveglia, mi guarda, non so.

Già l'odore della terra odor di grano,

sale adagio verso me.

e la vita nel mio petto batte piano,

respira la nebbia, penso a te.

Quanto verde tutto intorno a ancor piú in là,

sembra quasi un mera l'erba,

e leggero il mio pensiero vola e va

ho quasi paura che si perda…

Un cavallo tende il collo verso il prato

resta fermo como me:

faccio un passo, lui mi vede, è già

fuggito…

Respiro la nebbia, penso a te.

No, cosa sono adesso non lo so

sono como, un uomo in cerca di se stesso

no, cosa sono adesso non lo so

sono solo, solo il suono del mio passo…

Ma intanto il sole tra la nebbia filtra già:

il giorno come sempre sarà.

Aria tersa d'un settembre che pare senza fine

aria già fredda

acqua già fredda…

intorno irrepetibili colori e silenzi

e foglie cadute e cadute

e nubi bige a rimpiettino

e il mio rabbrividire...

ia giacca stretta al petto...

un sapore di uva...

e dita attaccatticca...

e il giorno

come vai bello

come sempre possente:

Come sempre....

It has been a very long day for me today. I'm pretty mentally exhausted, don't really have time to think about what to post for the day so I just dug up this simple leaf capture from my archives, one for my red and green "state of mind". It's not really a very old photo, not even two weeks old. No verses coming out of my brain tonight. Instead, here's a favorite song from Sarah Mclachlan (hope you'll take the time to listen), ANSWER. Link will open in a new window.

This is a strange sunset phenomena I see once in awhile. The rays such as these here are actually not in the west but are in the east as the sun goes down. They appear to be related to shadows cast by clouds based on this image, but if anyone knows what this effect is called or can explain why it does this-- please do. Edit: and flickr comes through, I knew I could count on the hive mind to find the term! Thanks goes to algo, larigan, and ER Post for finding these are anti-crepuscular rays, fascinating!

 

Note:the rays were not added in photoshop, I emphasized them here with a blend of hdr and non-hdr layers to create the final result. A total of two hdr images composed from 8 exposures 1 ev apart and two original frames were used to create the final result that best shows off the rays in the east to my tastes.

VIEW BIGGER - a better perspective

 

This photograph was taken after Djupivogur which was completely covered in fog, enroute to Egilsstadir. Route 1 takes you through the East Fjords and the road becomes very steep and curvy so would highly recommend a good SUV.

 

The view was so breathtaking that we actually found a place to stop and walked down to get this shot. Arguable one of the most breathtaking drives we have ever done anywhere.

Imagine there's no Heaven

Above us only sky

 

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Imagine there's no country

It isn't hard to do

 

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

 

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

Maybe someday you will join us

And the world will be as one

 

Imagine no posessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

-----------Jumping Child----------

 

"Cantando la canción de nuestras vidas,

que pasa con esos niños..

 

Saltan los niños en tu jardin

aman el mundo

y aman a sus padres.

 

Y las puertas del infierno caerán.

Los chicos alegres saltan

en el despertar de los ángeles.

 

No puedo esperar por la sombra de la luna

No puedo esperar, no puedo esperar por ti.

No puedo llorar, no puedo llorar por ti.

No puedo esperar por la sombra de la luna.

 

Oh dulce sombra, la sombra de mi corazón

Oh brillante sombra, en el amanecer de mi vida.

Saltad saltad chiquillos, en el espacio profundo."

Nella vastità incontaminata degli altipiani della Bolivia Meridionale, tra deserti di sale e pozze d'acqua (salata) dai colori impensabili, ad un' atitudina tra i 4000 e 4800 mt, vive il Fenicottero delle Ande (Phoenicopterus andinus).

Conosciuto anche come Parina Grande, è una tra le 6 specie di fenicotteri che esistono al mondo.

La maggior parte del suo piumaggio è di un rosato intenso e la coda è nera, metà becco è giallo e la metà esteriore è nera, le gambe sono gialle.

Popola le regioni andine del nord del Cile e della Bolivia, le Ande meridionali del Perù e quelle settentrionali dell’Argentina.

I Fenicotteri posseggono 12 penne nere atte al volo per ogni ala. Il piumaggio bianco alla nascita muta in età adulta dal rosa al rosso vermiglio, in base allo stato di salute dell’uccello e alla disponibilità di cibo. Un piumaggio rosa intenso, oltre ad essere un forte richiamo nel periodo degli accoppiamenti, testimonia l’alto contenuto di carotene assimilato con il cibo. I Fenicotteri producono un particolare latte, grazie all’azione della prolattina. Questo latte, molto grasso e ricco di globuli rossi e bianchi, viene utilizzato per alimentare i piccoli fino all’età di circa 2 mesi, quando saranno in grado di cibarsi autonomamente filtrando il cibo dalle acque paludose.

Excerpt from www.thetreemuseum.ca/pages/history.php:

 

The Tree Museum was established in 1997 and is a site set on the pre Cambrian shield amidst the cottage county-side of Muskoka. It is located on Ryde Lake near the town of Gravenhurst, Ontario. The site is undeveloped and includes both waterfront and forest. For the participating artists, this opportunity represents a rare occasion to realize major outdoor artworks in an uncultivated environment.

 

1998-2019, artists, both National and International, have created unique projects relating to the site of the Tree Museum. These works engage the complex reality of the relationship between man and nature; adoration, reliance, and exploitation. Collectively, the projects explore concepts of identity, memory and territory in respect to nature and natural processes, while underscoring the imbalance that characterizes our current relationship to the environment.

 

We are also cognisant of our responsibility as conservators of the land where the work is created. Eighty percent of the pathways are temporary and as the work disappears, or is removed, so too is all evidence of its presence. Some of the works are permanent and others are of a transitory nature, with the elements and nature determining their life span. We tread very lightly on the land.

It is named after Cepheus, King of Aethiopia in Greek mythology. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. Its brightest star is Alpha Cephei with an apparent magnitude of 3.5. Delta Cephei is the prototype of an important class of star known as a Cepheid variable. RW Cephei, an orange hypergiant, together with the red supergiants Mu Cephei, VV Cephei and V354 Cephei are among the largest stars known. In addition, Cepheus also has the hyperluminous quasar S5 0014+81, hosting an ultramassive black hole in its core at 40 billion solar masses, about 10,000 times more massive than the central black hole of the Milky Way, making it the most massive black hole known in the universe.

I was suppose to post a photochallenge shot, for some reason, I didn't like anything that I shot and didn't want to torture you by posting!!! I guess this staying home is getting to me!! I guess photochallenge members will give me "time out" and send me to my corner!!!

 

This shot is from yesterday's rainy day, and this little beauty was defying the weather bravely!!! Hope you had a better day than I did!!

seen after an little evening cruise at Lucerne Saturday evening !

  

listen verwehter Klang

 

.... Und das geht hin und eilt sich, dass es endet,

und kreist und dreht sich nur und hat kein Ziel.

Ein Rot, ein Grün, ein Grau vorbeigesendet,

ein kleines kaum begonnenes Profil -.

Und manchesmal ein Lächeln, hergewendet,

ein seliges, das blendet und verschwendet

an dieses atemlose blinde Spiel ...

  

Fragment aus

 

Rainer Maria Rilke

 

Das Karussell

Jardin du Luxembourg

  

And it goes on and hurries to its end,

and circles about itself and has no goal.

A red, a green, a gray is sent along,

an outline small and hardly yet begun—

And sometimes a laughing face will turn again,

a blessing, that dazzles and just as quickly fades,

in this blind, breathless play . . .

Esta tarde me sentia con ganas de crear, asi que me ha entrado una fiebre extraña y he revelado algunas fotos que hice hace un par de dias en el Pot Vell de Barcelona. Me sorprendio la hermosura y la estetica de los carromatos, pintados de vivos colores y todos de madera.. Aun no he ido a ver el espectaculo.... a ver si convenzo a mi mujer...

 

Solo pondre en murales esta foto, aunque se agradeceran las invitaciones para las demas si os agradan.

 

Aprovecho para desearos Feliz fin de Año !!

Caught this awesome lightning bolt while I was chasing thunderstorms with my girlfriend.

 

So I finally have my lightning shot, I always wanted to capture one. I tried various methods, from long exposure (example 30 seconds) to shorter (2.5 seconds) consecutive shots. This one came out really well on 2.5 seconds exposure. I set the ISO at 400, although I've seen many photographers shoot them at 200, my shots looked greater at 400.

 

This was shot behind the Sanctuaire du Cap facing the Fleuve St-Laurent, Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada.

 

Thanks to everyone for the EXPLORE !

Laos - Piana delle Giare

Fra i luoghi più enigmatici del Laos ci sono I campi dell'altopiano Xieng Khouang, nei dintorni di Phonsavan, letteralmente disseminati di grandi giare di pietra risalenti a circa 2000 anni fa. Si calcola che ve ne siano circa 3000 distribuite in 90 siti.

La loro funzione resta avvolta nel mistero Sono state avanzate diverse teorie in merito Si è ipotizzato che fossero dei sarcofagi oppure dei forni crematori o monumenti simbolici a seganalare una sepoltura. Alcuni sostengono invece che fossero vasi per la fermentazione del vino o per la conservazione del riso,... insomma non si è ancora arrivati ad una conclusione certa.

Oggi solo tre di questi siti sono stati quasi completamente sminati e sono aperti al pubblico. Il mistero delle giare si intreccia., infatti, a quello legato alla cosiddetta “guerra segreta” ad opera degli dagli Stati Uniti negli anni 60 e 70 che trasformò il Laos nel paese più bombardato della storia. Ad appena 50 km, infatti, si trova il confine con il Vietnam ed il famigerato “sentiero di Ho Chi Min” utilizzato dai Vietcong durante la guerra del Vietnam. Tutta questa zona è costellata di cumuli carbonizzati di bunker e crateri lasciati dalle bombe e tutto il paesaggio circostante è in gran parte arido e privo di vegetazione per gli effetti dei diserbanti utilizzati durante la guerra. Si calcola che i soli Stati Uniti eseguirono circa 580.000 missioni di bombardamento nel solo Laos durante la guerra, con una media di due tonnellate di esplosivo per ogni abitante. Circa il 30% di quegli ordigni è ancora inesploso.

Thank your very much for your beautiful note. It is so refreshing to read that there are some good people interested in me as a person. You cannot believe the notes I receive and their contents make me sick. I am not sorry for the bluntness of my words, that's who I am. I speak my mind, this is how my dad raised me and I don't see why people can't understand. They can play their game and weave their web, I cannot be fooled.

 

I only answer few of the mail I receive. Petty minds I don't tolerate and I say it like it is!!! So, my dear, I don't want to bore you how much others discuss me, I asked my good assistant to take her darn camera, as if she needed my asking and that's another story, to go outside and get some good shots of the house. You'll hear from her, that I am sure of.

 

Hope you'll be pleased with what you receive, from what I hear she is pretty good. If you ask me, golf is the sport (even the young Tiger is getting good at it). Yes I don't deny, cameras and my outspokenness are what made me.

 

Sincerely,

Kate"
