Sin querer la vida y yo llegamos bien

hasta aquí, hasta hoy

No pedí nacer pero bueno, aquí voy,

como vos, como todos

 

Amores que vienen y que van

Abrazo, llanto y despedidas

Sublime el sueño que me dejó

en el lugar justo donde estoy

 

Sin querer me tocó ser lo que soy ♪♫

día y mes, también años

No pedí que hubiera esa noche de amor

que se fue hace tiempo

 

Caminos que nunca se tocan

y otros se cruzan al azar

Sublime el sueño que me dejó

en el lugar justo donde estoy

.

{Sin querer - León Gieco}

Whatever he was listening to must have been pretty good, he was rocking out and singing along the whole time!

This is the first time I was able to have a full view of the Chaudière Falls and take this shot from the road as luckily the road was closed for the marathon runners.

Here is the brief history of the falls.

The Chaudière Falls are a set of cascades and waterfall in the centre of the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area in Canada where the Ottawa River narrows between a rocky escarpment on both sides of the river. The falls are about 60 m (200 ft) wide and drop 15 m (50 ft).

 

The name of the falls come from the French Chutes de la Chaudière, meaning "Cauldron Falls" but has been historically translated as "Kettle Falls". The shape of the falls before its development resembled a large cauldron.

The damming of the river and the presence of industry have greatly altered the waterfall's appearance, especially in the summer when the Ottawa River is low. Then the falls all but disappear because the water is diverted to power stations. The development also greatly limits the locations from which to view the falls.

A funk album with references to space and cosmic travel? What more would a primary schoolboy have needed back in 1995.

 

I think i'll get some of these printed large large large for myself to stare at. The memories in the photos are a wonderful place to visit.

 

It's been nearly a week since the sentencing hearing. He won't be sentenced till October/November pending all the necessary legal processes. But I don't think anyone bought the self-defence argument... how do you drown someone after you've bludgeoned them in self-defence?

 

*sigh*

 

I took photos of the service, it was a bizarre act but it somehow felt needed. It was a grieving process for me, we always take photos of happy times and I felt those would be marked as lies if I didn't photograph the funeral. It's all part of it isn't it? I still question the decision to upload the photo of me infront of the hearse taken by dad, but it was part of my process. Can I say that?

 

Y read the statement I helped her with... I kept it together it then... I barely kept it together in court. The Love she expressed, the 'foreverness', it gave me a flashback to the funeral home. After the ceremony she wouldn't leave his side. She stayed with him for as long as she could before they closed the casket. Love, can you feel it for a second time?

 

She was still there, together, with the Love of her life as I stepped out.

   

Shaken, not stirred

 

Weird huh? Perhaps I should explain. One of my other passions (even before photography) was movies. I loved watching them and reading up on them. Whenever, a new movie was released I used to check out the advertising posters and trailers. When I got involved in photography, I started looking at these posters in an artistic way - the light used, the pose, the message, the type of processing etc - which I found very interesting. At one time, I wanted to start a project where I replicate iconic posters using myself as a model - I discarded this idea cos it would take too much effort to make the image look realistic with a human model.

 

But now that I have this clone trooper (and some lego toys), I thought I will start doing this as a project. By using toys, I don't have to make it look "exactly" as the poster does and I can give it that playful/funny feel. Not that I am achieving anything much here. I have already done a couple of posters using this trooper here and here

 

To do this image, I cut out the "jacket" and "pants" from black paper and pasted it on. It didn't look too good so I used a fair bit of cloning to get a proper shape. This is based on this movie poster.

 

Forgot to mention - I used this texture by DRISCOLL BROTHERS - from the Textures for Layers group for the background

 

Lighting - really can't remember :D

have YOU discovered [Utopia]?

-quotes from Traveller's Xchange at "The Beach" Website and comments from previous series

 

"I really believe Utopia is any place which you choose to see with your heart, and not with any stereotype image of what an ideal world is." -Ana Easson

 

"My Utopia is that one frame in time, when everything around you seems to slow down, and all that stands between you and the sky is the one you love most." -Trevor

 

"I believe that utopia, which i have not yet found, is spending time in the most amazing and stunning place imaginable with the person you love and admire the most in the world." -Adrian

 

"My utopia is just underneath sealevel, at an atol by the Togian islands in Indonesia. The beauty you experience there is overwelming and gives you respect and admiration for all living." -Stefk

 

"My utopia was in Sri Lanka. We went to this reef, four miles off the coast of Batticloa. We had to go through twenty three military checkpoints to get there. The waters were so clear, you could see to the bottom (about seventy feet) before you even jumped out of the boat. I was floating there, upside down forty feet below with a snorkel, fins and my jeans, deep blue in every direction, face to face with this huge garoupa. The boat was like a tiny little toy miles above. That was utopia for me. I didn't want to ever go back up." -Francis Lo

 

"paradise is by God in heaven.. the rest is what we make of it!" - d3usa

 

"I believe that Paradise is a gift from God and a ‘state of mind’ that is nourished through our senses. The sight of the first flowers of spring, the smell of a baby, the taste of our favorite food, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover’s hand. All of these transport us, even for a fleeting moment, to Paradise on earth. If you are having those sensations 24/7 (earth time) then you have crossed over and are now sitting with our Creator!" - deestea

 

"I think paradise is in our heart- mind, hirday, before being on a beach…" - elishams

 

"mmm utopia... i think it's the perfect place, the perfect moment and the perfect mood." - unlimited___/

A structure with flexible and transparent rooms: In December 2001, following in-depth debates, the board of the BMW AG has voted in favour of the architectural concept by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU. The outstanding concept of the BMW Welt is characterised very much by the unique roof structure and the so-called Double Cone.

 

The 16,000 m² of cloud roof which emanates from the forming Double Cone is only carried by twelve hinged columns and creates the impression that it is floating. In its basic system, it consists of an upper and a lower girder grillage with a basic grid of five by five metres. Between the layers, diagonal struts are inserted which link the two layers of girder grillage, hereby creating a spatial supporting structure.

 

The Double Cone which protrudes prominently from the entire building acts as a powerful and dynamic eye-catcher. The cyclone made of glass and steel, winding upwards, ending in the roof which is suspended freely, floating just like a cloud, is created by a dynamic deformation of the two girder layers and constitutes one of the main supporting points of the roof.

 

The architectural concept of the BMW Welt combines form and function. This is shown in the elegant steel facade, for example, which serves the function of air-conditioning the BMW Welt, among other things. For this purpose, the solar energy which is lead from the roof to the facades contributes to the heating of the building and the ventilation of the building is also implemented with the large wall areas. Enveloping surfaces made of glass create a thermically comfortable surface temperature. Vegetation outside, specifically near the natural ventilation elements bind dust particles and also have a cooling effect.

Ronda, Málaga (Spain).

 

View Large On White

 

ENGLISH

Ronda is a city in the Spanish province of Málaga. It is located about 100 km from the city of Málaga, within the autonomous community of Andalucía. Its population is 35,512. It is also accessible by rail from Algeciras and from Córdoba.

 

Ronda is situated in a very mountainous area about 750 m above mean sea level. The Rio Guadalevín runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep El Tajo canyon upon which the city is perched. Ronda was first settled by the early Celts, but its Roman and then Moorish rulers are reflected most prominently in its architecture. The forces of Catholic Spain took control of the town in 1485.

 

Three bridges, Puente Romano ("Roman Bridge", also known as the Puente San Miguel), Puente Viejo ("Old Bridge", also known as the Puente Arabe or "Arab Bridge") and Puente Nuevo ("New Bridge"), span the canyon. The term "nuevo" is a bit of a misnomer, since this bridge was completed in 1793. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 meters above the canyon floor, and all three serve as some of the city's most impressive features.

 

Another important site in Ronda is the Plaza de Toros, the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain that is still used, albeit infrequently. It was built in 1784 in the Neoclassical style by the architect José Martin de Aldehuela, who also designed Puente Nuevo.

 

The partially intact baños árabes ("Arab baths") are found below the city and date back to the 13th and 14th centuries. Both Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles resided in Ronda for many years, and both wrote about its beauty, contributing to its popularity.

 

Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls describes the murder of Nationalist sympathizers early in the Spanish Civil War by being thrown from the cliffs of El Tajo by the Republican forces.

 

The name of the eponimous Jewish hero of George Eliot's well-known novel Daniel Deronda seems to indicate that his ancestors lived in Ronda prior to the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492.

 

The Spanish Fir (Abies pinsapo) is endemic to the mountains surrounding Ronda.

CASTELLANO

Ronda es una ciudad perteneciente a la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, situada en el noroeste de la provincia de Málaga (España). Es la capital de la comarca de la Serranía de Ronda.

 

La ciudad se asienta sobre una meseta rocosa a 739 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Está dividida en dos partes por un cañón, conocido como el Tajo de Ronda, por el que discurre el río Guadalevín afluente del río Guadiaro. A continuación de la garganta del tajo propiamente dicha también se extiende el tajo sobre el valle de los Molinos. Al este de la ciudad se encuentra el parque natural de la Sierra de las Nieves, al sur el Valle del Genal, al oeste la Sierra de Grazalema y al norte otras tierras más llanas en dirección a Campillos.

 

Aunque en el entorno de la ciudad se han encontrado restos prehistóricos que se remontan al Neolítico entre los que destacan las pinturas rupestres de la Cueva de la Pileta, los orígenes de Ronda son celtas quienes en el siglo VI a.C. la llamaron Arunda. Posteriormente los fenicios se instalaron en una aldea cercana que llamaron Acinipo. Arunda, tras ser conquistada por los griegos, pasó a denominarse Runda.

 

Pero Ronda como tal fue fundada como consecuencia de la Segunda Guerra Púnica, durante la campaña que el general romano Escipión llevó a cabo contra los cartagineses que dominaban la Hispania a finales del siglo III a.C. Es entonces cuando se mandó construir el castillo de Laurus el cual favoreció el asentamiento de la población a su alrededor y alcanzando en tiempos de Julio César el rango de ciudad alcanzado sus habitantes, y los de la vecina Acinipo, la cualidad de ciudadanos romanos.

 

En el siglo V, con el fin del Imperio Romano, la ciudad es tomada por los suevos al mando de Rechila, pasando después por un período bizantino, en el que Acinipo fue definitivamente abandonado, hasta que Leovigildo la integró en el reino visigodo.

 

En el 711 se produce la invasión musulmana de la península y, en 713, la actual Ronda abre sus puertas, sin presentar batalla, al jefe bereber Zaide Ben Kesadi El Sebseki. La ciudad pasa a denominarse Izn-Rand Onda (la ciudad del castillo) convirtiéndose en la capital la capital de la provincia Andalusí de Takurunna.

 

Con la desintegración del califato de Córdoba, Ronda se convierte en un reino de Taifas independiente regido por Abu Nur Hilal Ben Abi Qurra, y será durante este periodo cuando se crea la mayor parte del patrimonio monumental con que cuenta el casco histórico de Ronda y los arrabales. Abu Nur Hilal fue sucedido por su hijo Abú Nasar quien tras morir asesinado provocó que Ronda pasará a formar parte del reino sevillano de al- Muthadid

 

El periodo islámico de la ciudad finaliza cuando, el 22 de mayo de 1485, el rey Fernando el Católico logra tomarla tras un prolongado asedio. Tras la conquista muchos de los monumentos erigidos por los musulmanes son remodelados adecuándose a la nueva situación que vive la ciudad que inicia un nuevo florecimiento que la hace crecer extendiéndose en nuevos barrios como los del “Mercadillo” y “San Francisco”, pasando a conocerse el antiguo núcleo árabe como “La Ciudad”.

 

En 1572 se funda la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda con fines de entrenamiento para la defensa y las guerras del reino.

 

En el siglo XVIII la ciudad vive una etapa de importantes construcciones entre las que destacan el Puente Nuevo, que ha pasado a considerarse el símbolo de la ciudad, y la Plaza de toros.

 

A partir de esa época se crean los mitos románticos de bandoleros y toreros. El Castillo del Laurel, alcazaba de Ronda, es derribado por los franceses en su retirada. Durante los siglos XIX y XX la actividad económica de Ronda sigue siendo principalmente rural, siendo el punto de encuentro para los habitantes de los pueblos de la Serranía y teniendo momentos de esplendor a principios del siglo XX con la llegada del ferrocarril.

 

En 1918 se celebra la Asamblea de Ronda en la que se fijó el actual diseño de la Bandera, el Himno de Andalucía y su escudo. En esa época se empieza a consolidar la Caja Ahorros de Ronda que ha impulsado fuertemente la economía de la ciudad hasta su desaparición en 1990 al fusionarse con otras entidades bancarias en Unicaja.

Damselfly on Black

  

Here is another damselfly (this had a brown neck) looking this time from the front. Maybe not as "in your face" as yesterday's photo, but I have been wanting to ty and get a full frontal for while, but it isn't easy. I do like the dynamic angles on this though as well.

 

Anyway, this one was ok, and stayed still for a while.

 

I tried various tubes, but I can't remember whether this was 3, 2, 1, or none!

 

The camera was tripod mounted. I am not steady enough most of the time to get sharp shots hand held unless the shutter speed is up high, and even then it is hit and miss.

 

I have found that some damsels tend to be rather more likely to stay still than dragons, and afford more time and opportunity. This one was not on the grass originally, and I managed to get it to step onto my finger and then I transferred it onto the grass blade! Some damsels are happy to be approached it seems, a bit like some hoverflies will let you get them on your hand.

 

The previous image was an azure, this one is a female blue-tailed damselfly, Ischnura elegans.

CASTELLANO

Valle de Hecho (Val d'Echo en aragonés) es un municipio del partido judicial de Jaca, provincia de Huesca. Pertenece a la comarca de la Jacetania.

 

La capital del municipio se encuentra en la población de Hecho (Echo en aragonés). Otras localidades pertenecientes al término municipal de Valle de Hecho son: Siresa (Ziresa en aragonés), Embún, Urdués y Santa Lucía. Hasta finales del siglo XX, el nombre del municipio era Hecho.

 

La vitalidad de las gentes del valle se muestra a través de la vida cotidianda y de sus constumbres. La fabla chesa, el folclore, la gastronomía, las fiestas... se miman y celebran para disfrute de vecinos, visitantes y amigos.

 

Es uno de los lugares en los que sigue en uso la lengua aragonesa, en la variante conocida como cheso, nombre tomado del gentilicio que se aplica a los habitantes del valle.

 

La música y los bailes tradicionales, junto con la rica indumentaria antigua, se exhiben gracias al Grupo Folclórico de la Val d'Echo, al palotiaú d'Embún y al grupo A Ronda d'Os Chotos d'Embún. Sus músicas traspasan las fronteras de Aragón pregonando constumbres y tradiciones ancestralesy el sentir de las gentes de hoy.

Dear Friends,

 

I don't really know if I will keep up with Flickr in these next months. Expect 1-2 uploads/month.

Things are pretty busy and it looks like they will become worse from the very next week.

I will be attending a specialization in the next four months, 8 hours/week, so spare time will be at its minimum!!!

I hope to have the chance of shooting as soon as spring starts!

 

I don't know if I will be able to check your streams out, I hope you don't mind.

 

This was shot a month ago: I arrived there an hour before sunrise, and luckly those pink clouds had a wonderful timing, making all the landscape look magnificent.

El verderón europeo o verderón común (Carduelis chloris) es un pequeño pájaro cantor del orden de los Passeriformes y de la familia Fringillidae (como los pinzones). Es una especie común en la Península ibérica. Descripción Mide de 13 a 15 cm de largo. El macho es de color verde amarillento, con llamativas manchas amarillas en las alas y cola. La hembra es de color más apagado y tienen tonos marrón castaño en la parte posterior, y las manchas de sus alas y cola son de color amarillo pálido. Es un ave que se adapta fácilmente en cautividad. Canto Su gorjeo está bastante articulado e intercala algunas notas típicas de llamada, aparece puntuado por un silbido sostenido nasal, que parece como si fuera producido por una inspiración forzada. Imita también los cantos de otras aves. Alimentación Su pico corto y cónico es lo suficientemente poderoso para cascar semillas grandes y duras. Semillas de cereales, tomadas sólo cuando se han desprendido de la espiga; semillas de árboles: sámaras de olmo (Ulmus minor), tilo (Tilia spp.) y fresno (Tecoma amarilla), piñones; bayas como las de tejo (Taxus baccata), zarza (Rubus ulmifolius) y escaramujo (Rosa canina); insectos, entre los cuales se cuentan áfidos, hormigas, escarabajos y también arañas. En algunas ocasiones devora los brotes de árboles frutales, pero raramente hasta el punto de constituir una plaga. En otoño visita los viñedos y frutales para comer fruta madura. Soporta bien los rigores del invierno y sabe encontrar su alimento incluso cuando la capa de nieve es espesa. Hábitat En aquellas zonas de vegetación escasa y poco densa se confina en los pinares, que constituyen quizás su hábitat original. En todos los demás lugares se le encuentra en los alrededores de casas, jardines y granjas, permaneciendo ausente de los lugares más remotos de la campiña. A finales del verano, se congrega en grandes bandadas, que merodean por los campos arados y silos en busca del grano caído y semillas de plantas silvestres, especialmente aquellas que medran en terreno cultivado. Reproducción Cuando llega el mes de marzo el macho alterna su silbido inspirado con un vuelo ascendente desde la rama en que se posa y una especie de suspensión en el aire por medio de lentos aleteos, a la manera de las mariposas o murciélagos, sin cesar de gorjear. Esta acción constituye la parte principal de su exhibición galante. Cría en las arboledas y arbustos tupidos de las zonas habitadas, parques, jardines, huertos, frutales y en los cipreses de los cementerios y todos los bosquecillos e hileras de árboles del ámbito rural. Tiende a anidar en grupos. Por regla general, el nido suele ser construido en un seto o arbusto verde con raicillas finas, musgo y lana; es revestido de raíces, pelos, plumas. Los huevos, de 4 a 6, son puestos en mayo; su color varía entre el blanco sucio y el azul verdoso con manchas pardas, rojizas o violáceas, y sus dimensiones son de 19 por 12 mm. Sólo la hembra cuida de la incubación, que dura dos semanas; entre tanto, es alimentada por el macho que permanece inmóvil desde un posadero cercano. Luego ambos, una vez nacidas las crías, los alimentan durante 13-16 días por regurgitación de insectos y de semillas aplastadas. Piden alimento a sus padres con un interminable. Cuando la hembra se dispone a hacer otro nido, el padre tiene que quedarse sólo a cargo de ellas hasta que consigan el alimento por sí mismas. Cuando adquieren sus primeras plumas, permanecen junto a sus padres, formando un grupo familiar muy unido. Realizan dos puestas anuales, ocasionalmente tres. Al final de la época de cría se reúnen en bandadas numerosas que incluyen también pájaros migrantes que llegan del norte en otoño y vuelan sin rumbo a través de bosques, campos, estepas y cultivos.

I was fortunate to grow up in a family of great readers!

We had a wealth of books in different languages to choose from!

The novel Peony, by Pearl S. Buck, I read at a fairly young age, in English, because, I was raised in 3 languages.

I remember enjoying it, but now realise I did not fully understand...

faculty.randolphcollege.edu/fwebb/buck/jlgornto/Peony.html

The Concepts of Yin-Yang

Presented Throughout

Peony

A revisiting is imminent!

 

Pearl was a wise lady and proved it in everything that she wrote, no wonder she was awarded the Nobel Prize!

 

Here are some of her quotes that I favour:

 

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this:

A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.

To him... a touch is a blow,

a sound is a noise,

a misfortune is a tragedy,

a joy is an ecstasy,

a friend is a lover,

a lover is a god,

and failure is death."

Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."

— Pearl S. Buck

  

"Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness."

— Pearl S. Buck

 

"The secret of joy in work is contained in one word-excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it."

— Pearl S. Buck

  

For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

There's a crazy bird in the neighbourhood.

 

Came back home after a night at work a couple of mornings ago and as I stood there in the bright sunshine on the yard I heard a strange noice. And then again. And again. A metallic sound which vibrated over the whole area in the quietness of the weekend morning.

And then I saw it. A woodpecker on top of a street light, bombing its head into the lamp.

 

*CLONK*

 

Good thing it has an intricate head design with concussion prevention among other things.

 

*CLONK*

 

I'm neglecting flickr. Yes, I know, I deserve a good round of spanking for that, and I shall endure it humbly. Very humbly.

It seems I can't keep my head wrapped around many things at one time (wait, I'm not a man am I...), and at the moment planning my trip takes all my time. I always have some sort of a magnet out there, drawing me in, and atm, it's different kinds of travel forums etc. It is a shame, but something which will be corrected in some time, after my initial excitement has gone. I'm sorry for not visiting your streams and catching up with you as I would like to... I do not expect comments, views or anything as I haven't returned "the favours" in some time, but still need to upload from time to time, to somehow keep myself connected to this fab place of photographic friendship. Please bare with me.

(yes, I know it's bear, but I love how it sounded with the wrongly spelled version)

 

I seriously have come to the conclusion I'm not entirely human. What I partly am, besides human, is yet to be confirmed. Sarthongian perhaps? Or a fish.

See, the thing is, I had my wisdom teeth removed last Friday, and... well, I almost shit my pants before the procedure, was nervously afraid, shaken and stirred. After having sedated me (maybe not the right word, but I just like it), he, the devilish doctor, roamed around my mouth for about 5 minutes and just as I was about to really flip out and have a nervous breakdown, he stopped, put a piece of bandage inside my mouth and said: "alright, keep your teeth clenched now, they came out very easily."

I just stared at him, unable to comprehend. He was done...!? No, could not be, it was only 5 minutes and I didn't feel a freaking thing, this got to be a mistake...

 

But, yes, he was done. I had had my wisdom teeth removed in less than 5 minutes and I did not feel a thing. Scary. Even more scary is, that I did not feel any pain whatsoever afterwards either, nothing.

 

This is not normal, this is not how it should be, and I feel bereft of one of the major stories you share with other people, the one about how terrible it was to have your back teeth removed. It was an outright scam. I should complain, this ain't justice. It ain't right!! Is it a human right to suffer pain during the removal of your wisdom teeth? Anyone out there with a degree in law, preferably with a specialty in said rights?

 

Anyhoo, I'm off to Turku to visit David Beckham. He's expecting me I'm sure.

I have climbed highest mountain

I have run through the fields

Only to be with you

Only to be with you

 

I have run

I have crawled

I have scaled these city walls

These city walls

Only to be with you

 

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

 

I have kissed honey lips

Felt the healing in her fingertips

It burned like fire

This burning desire

 

I have spoke with the tongue of angels

I have held the hand of a devil

It was warm in the night

I was cold as a stone

 

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

 

I believe in the kingdom come

Then all the colors will bleed into one

Bleed into one

Well yes I'm still running

 

You broke the bonds and you

Loosed the chains

Carried the cross

Of my shame

Of my shame

You know I believed it

 

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

The first news of which has its existence dates back to 978. Around the church of Sant Marti, as documented by the year 1088 began to wake up the first houses in this picturesque town that even today retains all its medieval charm.

Historically, work in the field was the main dedication of its people; particular importance was conreo of grapes, from the eighteenth century shifted more traditional forms of agriculture. This was a particularly arduous task given the characteristics of the mountainous terrain, settled in part by building jars at the foot of vineyards, which were used for the storage of must and grapes. Already into the nineteenth century, the phylloxera conditioned conreo and resulted in a significant decline in population. Another important task, until mid-twentieth century, was the development of charcoal, until such time as the electricity found their disappearance. Since then, its people were devoted to another kind of work in line with the changing times. It set up a textile factory in the early twentieth century, which was in operation until the year 1964. Logically, closing it was important socio-economic consequences on the lives of the people, determining the migration of population towards the industrial cities or to neighboring towns. Since then, the physiognomy of Mura se ha ido transforming into a large number of people with second homes, laying the groundwork for a tradition tourist potential. Precisely for the new work and revenue earned from tourism, was very relevant to the creation of the Natural Park Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, in 1972. Since then increased the number of tourists and visitors. Nobody is aware that, as in many other municipalities of Catalunya, tourism could ensure the future of the people so that asentare solidly its core population.

Oh, how I admire these marvelously engineered, composed and exposed hi-tech Strobist shots, such as of a floating CFL shining brightly without being mated to a socket or any wires visible. For example, this floating CFL, the Strobist explanation and the link to the article by David Hobby were an inspiration to try a lo-tech version.

 

Strobist Info:

Bulb is a 110V 5W as bought, with a red coating and old-fashioned tungsten filament. Although the thread and contact are dark and hard to see in this shot, no wires are attached to it. No photo editing, simply not needed. This is the image straight out of the camera, just cropped. No fancy floating either, this bulb just rests on the dark backdrop inside my small lightbox that is illuminated by a rainy day cloudy sky through the window shade pulled up about a hand wide. No flash used, no snooting. Why then Strobist? Well, the creative spirit of sharing explanations may have to do with it.

 

Before I bluntly share, can you guess how I lighted up that bulb? It is without wiring, without building an LED into it, with neither radio frequency transmission nor microwave energy, and not resorting to magic hands energy or wishful positive thinking, either.

 

Three visual cues:

1. the reflection on the Edison socket,

2. the reflection on the bulb body

3. a bit of light spill to the right side of the bulb. View On Black

 

Got an idea? The light source is (drum roll) a laser pointer, carefully aimed at the far side of the red globe. See that same little red light bulb when OFF.

"The Great Blue Heron is mostly a colonial nester, occasionally they nest in single pairs. Colonies are typically found in lowland swamps, islands, upland hardwoods, and forests adjacent to lakes, ponds and rivers. Nests are usually in trees, as high as 98 ft. (30m) or more from the ground. The platform like nests are constructed out of medium sized sticks and materials may be added throughout the nesting cycle. Nests are usually lined with finer twigs, leaves, grass and pine needles, moss, reeds or dry grass. The same nests are refurbished and used year after year."

ENGLISH

The Plaza Mayor built during the Habsburg period is a central plaza in the city of Madrid, Spain. It is located only a few blocks away from another famous plaza, the Puerta del Sol. The Plaza Mayor is rectangular in shape, measuring 129 by 94 meters, and is surrounded by three-story residential buildings having 237 balconies facing the Plaza. It has a total of nine entranceways. The Casa de la Panadería, serving municipal and cultural functions, dominates the Plaza Mayor.

 

The origins of the Plaza go back to 1581 when Philip II of Spain asked Juan de Herrera, a renowned Renaissance architect, to devise a plan to remodel the busy and chaotic area of the old Plaza del Arrabal. Juan de Herrera was the architect who designed the first project in 1581 to remodel the old Plaza del Arrabal but construction didn't start until 1617, during Philip III's reign. The king asked Juan Gomez de Mora to continue with the project, and he finished the porticoes in 1619. Nevertheless, the Plaza Mayor as we know it today is the work of the architect Juan de Villanueva who was entrusted with its reconstruction in 1790 after a spate of big fires. Giambologna's equestrian statue of Philip III dates to 1616, but it was not placed in the center of the square until 1848. Amazingly enough if you go in there today you can still see the blood on the walls from some of the bull fights held there in earlier years.

 

The Plaza Mayor has been the scene of multitudinous events: markets, bullfights, soccer games, public executions, and, during the Spanish Inquistion, "autos de fe" against supposed heretics and the executions of those condemned to death. The Plaza Mayor also has a ring of old and traditional shops and cafes under its porticoes. Celebrations for San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid, are also held here. The Plaza Mayor is now a major tourist attraction, visited by thousands of tourists a year.

CASTELLANO

La Plaza Mayor de Madrid está situada en el centro de la ciudad, a pocos metros de la plaza de la Puerta del Sol y de la Plaza de la Villa junto a la calle Mayor.

 

Los orígenes de la plaza se remontan al siglo XV, cuando en la confluencia de los caminos (hoy en día calles) de Toledo y Atocha, a las afueras de la villa medieval, se celebraba en este sitio, conocido como "Plaza del Arrabal", el mercado principal de la villa, construyéndose en esta época una primera casa porticada, o lonja, para regular el comercio en la plaza.

 

En 1580, tras haber trasladado la corte a Madrid en 1561, Felipe II encargó el proyecto de remodelación de la plaza a Juan de Herrera, comenzándose el derribo de las "casas de manzanas" de la antigua plaza ese mismo año. La construcción del primer edificio de la nueva plaza, la Casa de la Panadería, comenzaría en 1590 a cargo de Diego Sillero, en el solar de la antigua lonja. En 1617, Felipe III, encargó la finalización de las obras a Juan Gómez de Mora, quién concluirá la plaza en 1619.

 

La Plaza Mayor ha sufrido tres grandes incendios en su historia, el primero de ellos en 1631, encargándose el mismo Juan Gómez de Mora de las obras de reconstrucción. El segundo de los incendios ocurrió en 1670 siendo el arquitecto Tomás Román el encargado de la reconstrucción. El último de los incendios, que arrasó un tercio de la plaza, tuvo lugar en 1790, dirigiendo las labores de extinción Sabatini. Se encargó la reconstrucción a Juan de Villanueva, que rebajó la altura del caserío que rodea la plaza de cinco a tres plantas y cerró las esquinas habilitando grandes arcadas para su acceso. Las obras de reconstrucción se prolongarían hasta 1854, continuándolas, tras la muerte de Villanueva, sus discípulos Antonio López Aguado y Custodio Moreno.

 

La Plaza Mayor se convirtió desde sus inicios, no solo en el principal mercado de la villa, tanto de alimentación (surtida por los numerosos tablajeros vigilados por el Repeso) como de otros géneros (instalándose en sus soportales los principales gremios); sino también en el escenario de numerosos actos públicos, como corridas de toros, autos de fe, inmortalizando el pintor Francisco Ricci el celebrado en 1680, ejecuciones públicas, colocándose el patíbulo delante del portal de pañeros si la pena era de garrote; frente a la Casa de la Panadería, si era de horca, y ante la Casa de la Carnicería, si era de cuchillo o hacha. También se celebró en la Plaza Mayor la beatificación de San Isidro, santo patrón de Madrid.

 

La Plaza Mayor es actualmente un importante punto turístico, visitado por miles de turistas al año. En los locales comerciales ubicados bajo los soportales, abundan los comercios de hostelería, que instalan terrazas junto a los soportales de la plaza.

 

Todos los meses de diciembre, se celebra el tradicional mercado navideño, costumbre que se mantiene vigente desde el año 1860.

 

También se celebra todos los domingos y festivos por la mañana el mercado de Filatelia y Numismática.

Bas-relief Number 3 from the 2nd century AD in the Tang-e Chowgan gorge by Bishapur is extremely worn by a flooding after an aqueduct was constructed in the gorge in the 1960s. The aqueduct wasn't removed until the 1970s, by which time a deep groove had formed throughout the gorge damaging this relief between the fourth and fifth register, near the bottom. Regardless of the damage, the rich detailing of its former glory can still clearly be distinguished.

 

There are many Sassanid bas reliefs in throughout the Sassanid Empire, with some excellent examples of 'vistory' and 'equestrian' reliefs found in Naqsh-e Rostam and Nasqsh-e Rajab (photos coming soon).

 

Bishapur' s 'Relief Number 3' is often referred to as Shapur's Victory. 'Triple Victory' would have been a more apt description. The great quantity of horsemen firmly makes this an equestrian victory relief, but the gift bearers are reminiscent of the Achaemenid Eastern Apadana Staircase reliefs in Persepolis, while the cavalries are similar to those depicted on Trajan's Column in Rome.

 

Sassanid King Shapur I is depicted at the heart of the relief, roughly in the centre of the third register, on his horse and victorious over three Roman Emperors.

 

The upper left first and second registers and lower left fourth and fifth registers the show the cavalry approaching from the left, as with all Sassanid reliefs. Notwithstanding the flood groove in the fifth register, the use of less well defined figures located on the lower registers would suggest this to represent lower orders of the cavalry.

 

The middle left third register shows the best defined horse riding figures, probably representing the courtiers and officers of the cavalry.

 

The upper right first and second registers depict people carrying tribute by way of gifts and offerings to Shapur. Unlike the identifyiable Eastern Apadana Staircase reliefs of Persepolis the graphical identitfication of the ethnicity of the gift bearers is somewhat open to speculation, but the most agreeable interpretation is that these figures depict Romans.

 

The middle right third register shows the well defined infantry section approaching Shapur from the right. Apart from he Romans there is also the curious presence of an elephant on the extreme right...

 

The lower right fourth and fifthe registers are damaged by the flooding, which makes identification of the gift bearing figures more difficult, but even before the erosion there has always been speculation about these figures

 

See also Bishapur Reliefs Number 1, Number 2, Number 4, Number 5, Number 6

 

Due to the challenging form and placement of this relief, this is not strictly speaking a photo (hence no EXIF metadata), but a rather composite, like the Chehel Sotun composite.

 

The life size figures of this relief all together form a notable size, and certainly the largest relief in Bishapur. Photographing it is easy lightwise and access wise. The light was perfect to create the shadows required to define the relief and there is some 10-15 metres of space in front of the relief. Yet it is difficult to maintain relations and proportions, due to the curvature of the relief which is accentuated by the convergent lines created its sheer height. A pair of binoculars are a useful tool when viewing this actual relief in the Tang-e Chogan Gorge. This gave me the idea to shoot the relief in five photos per register, and thus 25 shots in total, with the longest lens available to me - the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR with the 2x multiplier - to minimise convergence and curvature. I then shot a reference shot with the Sigma 10-20mm, which I 'deconverged' and 'uncurved' in photoshop before expanding it to 12000 by 8635 (well over a meter wide at 300dpi) as a base to deconverge, decurve and place the 25 detail shots, each measuring 2852 by 3872 pixels. Apart from accentuating the shadows and highlights and sharpening the overall composite a little, the result is very much as it appears in Bishapur, albeit hopefully easier to view.

 

The uploaded version is a much lower resolution version than the actual composite, but seven detail shots are uploaded individually at about half the original resolution, while the centre piece featuring Shapur is uploaded at full resolution.

The other day I was watching this male Mute Swan strut his stuff around two Trumpeter Swans. Every once and awhile he'd swim in circles and puff out his feathers........The two Trumpeter Swans tagged E90 and O38 would let out a few honks then go about their own business. The two Trumpeter Swans seemed completely uninterested in this lone Mute..I never saw his mate. Perhaps he's a lonely bachelor.........?? ;)

 

"The Mute Swan is reported to mate for life. However, changing of mates does occur infrequently, and swans will remate if their partner dies. If a male loses his mate and pairs with a young female, she joins him on his territory. If he mates with an older female, they go to hers. If a female loses her mate, she remates quickly and usually chooses a younger male."

 

Enjoy!! :)

This is the first time I've attempted to apply an "Orton" effect to a photo... I kind of like it :-) What do you think my Flickr friends? (I'd never eve heard of "Orton" until I joined Flickr!)

 

When I was in high school in the mid-1960's, we lived near "The City" of San Francisco, in Pacifica, California, and I fell in love with San Francisco forever. I hadn't visited in many years when in March 2007 my cousin and her husband treated me to a trip to Union Square and the Theater District - and we went to see the hit play "The Jersey Boys" at the Curran Theater on Geary Street. (The play was absolutely FABULOUS!) Before and after the play, we walked around the area of Union Square and just enjoyed the beautiful weather, the "street scene", the cable cars, and the interesting and historic architecture. What a great day in a great city!

 

MORE INFORMATION ON THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO:

 

The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the fourteenth-most populous in the United States, with a 2006 estimated population of 744,041. San Francisco is the second most densely populated major city in the U.S. San Francisco is located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, with the Pacific Ocean to the west, the San Francisco Bay to the east, and the Golden Gate to the north.

 

In 1776, the Spanish settled the tip of the peninsula, establishing a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi. The California Gold Rush in 1848 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth. After being devastated by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt.

 

San Francisco is a popular international tourist destination renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture, its large LGBT population, and its peninsular location. There are more than 50 hills within city limits. Famous landmarks include the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the cable cars, Coit Tower, and Chinatown.

 

The San Andreas and Hayward Faults are responsible for much earthquake activity, even though neither passes through the city itself. It was the San Andreas Fault which slipped and caused the earthquakes in 1906 and 1989. Minor earthquakes occur on a regular basis. The threat of major earthquakes plays a large role in the city's infrastructure development. New buildings must meet high structural standards, and older buildings and bridges must be retrofitted to comply with new building codes.

The kids live in a sleep-deprived culture. Our society has been very cavalier about our disregard for needing sleep. Changing school times is just a small piece of the discussion.

So yeah... Last night was bad. I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried, so I stayed up texting a friend of mine because he was sick and not able to sleep either. We kept each other company. I tossed and turned and just gave up.

Then I thought... I started to pray. Not the regular, "Our father, who art in heaven..." but I just started talking.... It was kind of nice to just talk. Then I directed it towards my aunt. I spent a good half an hour to an hour doing that. After I was finished, I just lied still and waited until the alarm went off.

But the weird thing was... I was completely hyper and energetic running on empty. My friends were getting a bit annoyed/scared haha.

Anyway, I'm off to teach karate! I have to be a hard-ass tonight =/ Well, oh well. It's their promotional tomorrow.

Anyway, now that teaching is over... I have more and more shit to deal with. Have you every felt so useless as your best friend tells you how much she wants to die? I have. I feel it right now. If she goes through with this, it will be another death on my hands, more blood. Another death I had to sit by and watch because there was nothing I could do. What's wrong with me? I used to be so good at helping people.

And now I don't know if she's listening.

 

"As I look out outside

I can see the rain about to start

The air is damp but warm

And I remember how you used to feel

 

And I see your face

My cold reflection scares me at this hour

How I wish I could sleep

If only I could slow my mind a bit

 

(Chorus)

 

Then when I see you I forget the pain

And melt away with you

Only a day is passed and

I can't help but feel that I've lost you

 

Your room confines my thoughts

And then my worries drift when I'm with you

But I don't want to live

I never know just when we'll meet again

 

(Chorus)

 

What is it that feeds this

Haven't I learned enough from yesterday

I really don't need this

Haven't I had enough of this today

 

Then I sit at home

My walls reflect how my life is so bleak

And I feel so alone

I break down and call you 'cuz I'm weak

 

If I can see what you are

If I could blow away my clouded sight

Realize you made me a fool

If I mean nothing what else can I say

 

(Chorus)

 

I've lost you

I've lost you."

Built on a basalt outcrop, the castle was known to the native Britons as Din Guardi and had been the capital of the British Kingdom of Bryneich from the realm's foundation in c.420 until 547, the year of the first written reference to the castle. In that year the citadel was captured by the Anglo-Saxon ruler Ida of Bernicia and became Ida's seat. It was briefly retaken by the Britons from his son Hussa during the war of 590 before being relieved later that same year.

 

His grandson Æðelfriþ passed it on to his wife Bebba, from which the early name Bebbanburgh was derived. The Vikings destroyed the original fortification in 993.

 

The Normans built a new castle on the site, which forms the core of the present castle. William II unsuccessfully besieged it in 1095 during a revolt supported by its owner, Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland. After Robert was captured, his wife continued the defence until coerced to surrender by the king's threat to blind her husband.

 

Bamburgh then became the property of the reigning English monarch. Henry II probably built the keep. As an important English outpost, the castle was the target of occasional raids from Scotland. In 1464 during the Wars of the Roses, it became the first castle in England to be defeated by artillery, at the end of a nine-month long siege by Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick.

 

The Forster family of Northumberland provided the Crown with twelve successive governors of the castle for some 400 years until the Crown granted ownership to Sir John Forster. The Forster family retained ownership until Sir William Forster (d. 1700) was posthumously declared bankrupt and his estates, including the castle, were sold to Lord Crew, Bishop of Durham ( husband of his sister Dorothy) under an Act of Parliament to settle the debts.

 

The castle deteriorated but was restored by various owners during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was finally bought by the Victorian industrialist William Armstrong, who completed the restoration.

 

During the Second World War, the Royal Navy corvette HMS Bamborough Castle was named after it.

Este teatro, sede del Centro Dramático Nacional, originalmente llamado de la Princesa, fue construido entre 1884 y 1885 por el arquitecto Agustín Ortiz de Villajos y financiado por el Marqués de Monasterio. Este fue el tercer teatro que construyó Ortiz de Villajos en Madrid, después del de la Comedia y el de Price, sobre un solar cuadrangular y siguiendo las tendencias del eclecticismo.

 

El patio de butacas se desarrolla en una tradicional forma de herradura, la estructura de la sala presenta soportes de fundición y la decoración interior se realiza con motivos mudéjares.

 

La fachada, que no se corresponde con el eje longitudinal de la sala, es de estilo neorrenacentista y esta provista de pilastras de orden gigante, destacando el porche adosado y rematado con frontón del cuerpo central, que antiguamente se utilizaba como acceso de carruajes.

 

Los camerinos, las oficinas técnicas del teatro y otras dependencias que habitualmente se encuentran junto al escenario, fueron originalmente instaladas en otros lugares por falta de espacio. Por este motivo se decidió ampliar el teatro en 1918, encargándose al arquitecto Pablo Aranda la construcción de una nueva planta en el edificio, a pesar de cambiar el aspecto original de la fachada.

 

Con otras reformas posteriores se integró el porche exterior en el vestíbulo y se alteró el diseño de la sala. El nombre actual se debe a que desde 1908 y durante mucho tiempo después fue titular del teatro la compañía de María Guerrero.

Chapel of Panagia Tsampika at Pera Chorio - Nisou community, Cyprus.

 

Ο ναός χτίστηκε από Κύπριους, προσκυνητές της ομώνυμης Παναγίας Τσαμπίκα στη Ρόδο.

 

"...η θαυματουργική εικόνα της Παναγίας Τσαμπίκας ήλθε τρεις φορές από το βυζαντινό μοναστήρι της Παναγίας Κυκκώτισσας η Ελεούσης της Κύπρου.Όταν οι μοναχοί από την Κύπρο εντόπισαν την εικόνα στη Ρόδο, ήρθαν να την επαναφέρουν πίσω στο μοναστήρι τους· η εικόνα, όμως, επέστρεψε πάλι στο λόφο της στη Ρόδο. Οι Κύπριοι για να πιστοποιήσουν ότι πράγματι ήταν αυτή η εικόνα που έφευγε, την έκαψαν στο πίσω μέρος της, προκειμένου να έχουν κάποιο αποδεικτικό σημάδι. Το κάψιμο διακρίνεται πολύ καθαρά και σήμερα.

Η Παναγία Τσαμπίκα μέχρι σήμερα δείχνει την αγάπη της στα άτεκνα ζευγάρια δίνοντάς τους τη χαρά της μητρότητας και πατρότητας".

Ferrari 360 Modena On Black

 

The Ferrari 360 is a mid-engine midsize two-seater sports car produced from late 1999 until 2005. The 360 replaced the Ferrari F355 and was itself replaced by the fairly similar Ferrari F430. For the 360, Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new all-aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355, yet 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Along with the new frame was a new Pininfarina body styling that broke ranks with the last decade's sharp angles and flip-up headlights, replacing them with a rounded appearance that harkened to the 1960s. The new V8 engine, common to all versions, was only slightly larger and more powerful than the F355's at 3.6 litres and 400 bhp (300 kW) of power, but the lighter frame and added stiffness improved performance; the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration performance improved from 4.6 to 4.4 seconds, . An engine replacement resulted in the V8 road model that followed, the F430 (internally referred to as the evoluzione or evo) which came out in 2004.

I was on my way to the store where I bought my Nikon D90 to change the Nikon Camerabag, which was falling apart after only half a year, with a friend of mine when I saw this Ferrari appearing in my rearview mirrors.

I quicky grabbed my Nikon from the backseats and set the settings so I would be able to get some decent shots.

When I was to busy watching the traffic and trying to keep up with the yellow beast, I passed my camera to my friend which managed to get some shots too.

- She was very much half-dressed

And big indiscreet trees

Threw out their leaves against the pane

Cunningly, and close, quite close.

Sitting half naked in my big chair,

She clasped her hands.

Her small and so delicate feet

Trembled with pleasure on the floor.

- The colour of wax, I watched

A little wild ray of light

Flutter on her smiling lips

And on her breast, - an insect on the rose-bush.

- I kissed her delicate ankles.

She laughed softly and suddenly

A string of clear trills,

A lovely laugh of crystal.

The small feet fled beneath

Her petticoat: "Stop it, do!"

- The first act of daring permitted,

Her laugh pretended to punish me!

- Softly I kissed her eyes,

Trembling beneath my lips, poor things:

- She threw back her fragile head

"Oh! come now that's going too far!...

Listen, Sir, I have something to say to you..."

- I transferred the rest to her breast

In a kiss which made her laugh

With a kind laugh that was willing...

- She was very much half-dressed

And big indiscreet trees threw

Out their leaves against the pane

Cunningly, and close, quite close.

- As translated by Oliver Bernard: Arthur Rimbaud, Collected Poems (1962)

I've promised to some friends to show the roses of my rose garden ... here are some shots without post-production, a rough overview, just to bring you a ride!

Unfortunately I cannot upload their scent

 

Ho promesso ad alcuni amici che avrei fatto vedere loro alcune rose del mio roseto ....ecco qui alcuni scatti, un veloce e grezzo giretto tra la fioritura di maggio!

Sfortunatamente non son son riuscito a caricare pure il loro profumo ...

Jog Falls created by the Sharavathi River falling from a height of 253 meters (829 ft) is the highest plunge waterfall in India, Located in Shimoga District of Karnataka state, these segmented falls are a major tourist attraction. It is also called by alternative names of Gerusoppe falls, Gersoppa Falls and Jogada Gundi.

 

There are many waterfalls in Asia - and also in India - which drop from a higher altitude. But, unlike those falls, Jog Falls is untiered, i.e., it drops directly and does not stream on to rocks. Thus, it can be described as the highest untiered waterfalls in India. The waterfall database gives it 83 scenic points while Angel falls is at 97.

River Sharavathi splits up into four different tracks which are named in accordance with their perceived trajectories. Going from left to right respectively in the picture, the names and the reasons for naming are:

 

* Raja (King): Named so because of its apparently 'dignified' and 'serene' fall.

* Roarer: This stream appears out of a mass of rocks, making a tremendous amount of noise.

* Rocket: Consists of a large volume of water streaming out of a small opening at a very high speed.

* Rani (Queen), also called Lady: The stream has a winding, twisting trajectory, said to resemble the movements of a female dancer
