Paulownia Tomentosa the Anna Paulownia tree.
I have found this tree in an Arboretum in Eeklo Belgium!
It's worth it ! ;-) yes it does 😍
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A true and interesting story:
Carving paulownia wood is an art form in Japan and China.
The leaves can be eaten cooked; the flowers are edible, for example in a salad. But people only eat the plant in dire need, when there is nothing else to eat.
In early spring, before the leaves emerge, the fragrant, light lilac-purple flowers appear. Their scent is reminiscent of vanilla.
A decoction of the leaves is used to cleanse nasty sores and is said to promote hair growth and prevent graying. The leaves can also be used as a compress for bruises. The juice of the leaves is used against warts. The flowers are used in the treatment of skin conditions. A tincture of the bark is used in the treatment of fever and delirium. It has an astringent effect and is also used to expel parasitic worms.
The wood is not attacked by insects and is used to make boxes, clogs, furniture, musical instruments, etc. It is suitable for poles and beams in construction and a source of charcoal. The nitrogen-rich leaves are a good fodder crop and the roots prevent soil erosion. Various Asian string instruments are made from Paulownia tomentosa, including the Japanese koto and the Korean gayageum zither.
The plant contains a number of potentially toxic substances.
In China, this tree was traditionally planted at the birth of a girl. The fast-growing tree developed as the girl grew up. When she got married, the tree was cut down and the wood was carved into items for her dowry.

Image is from my archives, but straight from the camera!
Hello my flickr friends. Sorry for missing your streams lately. 'been out for couple of days. I'm trying to catch up again.
Playing with filters in PS. This sunset shot was taken this afternoon when we went out to pick up some seashells from the shore. I did not expect to see the sun setting from this beach. Luckily, I had my camera with me but not my tripod =(. I had to handheld / used my camera bag on some long exposure shots I took of the waves. I will post some next time.
Have a wonderful day everyone. Thank you for visiting.

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.
Clouds are an HDR from 3 exposures, sky is a blend of 2 exposures. Curves, contrast, pink photo filter fading gradient on clouds, saturation, noise ninja.
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.
Thanks for the visit, comments, awards, invitations and favorites.

CAT:
El parc Ribalta és l'únic parc públic del centre de Castelló de la Plana, es tracta d'una de les zones més representatives de la ciutat.
La configuració del parc comença al segle XIX, quan comença la industrialització a la ciutat. Es va construir, per iniciativa de l'Ajuntament, per oferir als viatgers de tren la sensació de poder econòmic de la ciutat. Es va construir sobre l'antic cementeri del Calvari, i des del primer moment es va dedicar a Francesc Ribalta (que es pensava en aquells temps que era nascut a Castelló de la Plana). En 1876, l'Ajuntament va ampliar el parc amb les terres oferides pel Comte de Pestagua.

HaVe a WoNDeRFuL SuNDaY MY FRieNDS
hope your Sunday is a sunshiny one.
Here winter is back and I try to recover myself from the flu.
Not only the flu hits me bad.
Also my worst FLiCKR eNeMY strikes back.
After one and a half year war with this person, she still thinks she has to play the rude game against me.
All I can do is warn you of this person.
She is a snake and bite you when you play with her.
So beware………..
Play it loud……..

Movie Belgium 2 part ,
video Belgio 2 parte :
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....

Day4 - Vik -> Egilsstadir
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.

Thank you all my dears Flickr friends for your sweet comments! I do appreciate them very, very much

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
And no Hell below us
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
Or Brotherhood of Man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
And maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one...

La cancion:
-----------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."

IC 1396 in a new light!
moonrocksastro.com/index.php/2015/11/01/cepheus/
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.

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 !!

Once again blood for art. On my way home from Lansing, I saw a good sky developing. With it fading fast, I raced into Island Park, down this fishing road and set up quickly. Mosquitoes descended on me in squadrons. If the sun had been a bit higher I might have needed a transfusion.
