"niña, te quiero decir

que tengo en computadora

un gigabyte de tus besos

y un floppy de tu persona

Niña, te quiero decir

que sólo tú me interesas

y el mouse que mueve tu boca

me formatea la cabeza

Niña, te quiero decir

que en mi pc sólo tengo

un monitor con tus ojos

y un cd-rom de tu cuerpo

Niña, te quiero decir

que el internet de mis sueños

lo conecté a tu sonrisa

y al módem de tus cabellos

I keep playing your part

But it's not my scene

Want this plot to twist

I've had enough mystery

Keep building it up

Then shooting me down

But I'm already down

 

Just wait a minute

Just sitting, waiting

Just wait a minute

Just sitting, waiting

 

Well, if I was in your position

I'd put down all my ammunition

I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long

Preface:

 

When I posted this photo three days ago, my first thought after exporting it from Lightroom was to delete it. I didn't like it, but I felt I needed more human elements in my stream, and not just landscapes.

 

The Man On The Horse

 

This shot was taken at La Presa de Huascato. I remember him making his way along behind me. I thought it would make an interesting photo, but I hesitated. I had yet the courage to photograph a stranger in their environment, head on. Face-to-face, with them aware of me photographing them. I shook off the hesitation, swung around quickly, composed, and fired. I turned back to viewing the water, and he kept on his way.

 

Yesterday: I was talking to my Sister-in-law (Ame). She told me she had shown some co-workers my photos. And when she came upon this one, one of her co-workers became emotional.

 

While in Mexico, and a few days after I had taken this photo, Ame's Brother told us of some news...news that had me knowing more of this man, before I realized it. Until yesterday, when one of Ame's coworkers recognized the man on the horse.

 

During the Mother's Day celebrations, this man and two others were driving along the highway. By the sounds of it, they were intoxicated. Subsequently, they crashed. Two men survived. The man on the horse, did not.

 

It's a strange feeling knowing I may have taken some one's final photograph.

I wake up feeling like my life's worth living

Can't recall when I last felt that way

Guess it must be all this love you're giving

Never knew never knew it could be like this

Today i was feeling really out of shape but then we did a super intense workout in dance. It was so great.

Approximately 86 kilometers northeast of the city of Beirut in eastern Lebanon stands the temple complex of Baalbek (Known as Heliopolis, the ‘City of the Sun.' during the Roman era). Situated atop a high point in the fertile Bekaa valley, the ruins are one of the most extraordinary and enigmatic holy places of ancient times. Long before the Romans conquered the site and built their enormous temple of Jupiter, long even before the Phoenicians constructed a temple to the god Baal, there stood at Baalbek the largest stone block construction found in the entire world.

Could you use a good fish story today? Once upon a time there were these beautiful fish who lived five miles under the ocean. How do I know? They were the subject of a PBS television special. So this is a for real fish story. Because these fish are really striking - they are incredibly colorful - some folks thought they might look good in someone's tropical fish aquarium. So, they tried to bring these fish to the surface. They didn't make it. They blew up when they got near the surface! They were designed to live under that pressure at the bottom. No happy ending - except they're leaving the rest of them where they belong - five miles under the ocean. That's where they were created to be!

 

It really works this way in all of God's creation. There's an environment that things and people were created to be in, and things really work when they're in that place. They really don't work very well when they're not where they were designed to be. Thankfully, God makes very clear the environment you and I were created for, so we don't have to waste our lives searching for it. In fact, probably the single most important question you have to answer while you're on earth is this: Why am I here?

 

God answers that question in six simple, life-changing words in His book the Bible. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Colossians 1:16. Speaking of Jesus Christ, the Bible says, "All things were" - now here are the six words - "created by Him and for Him." Try putting your name in that Biblical statement. Here we go. "(Your name) was created by Jesus and for Jesus." Just like those fish were created to be in the pressure of that deep-sea environment. Just like the earth was created to be in an orbit around the sun, you were created for Jesus. You were created by Jesus for a relationship with Jesus, where you live for Jesus.

 

All these years you've been away from the one that your heart's been searching for all along. Isn't it time to experience the relationship you were made for - to finally be where you were born to be?

La cabaña de vuelta es un pequeño y sencillo habitáculo muy típico de las comarcas interiores, desde la Noguera hasta la Terra Alta, sin descartar su presencia en otros lugares de la geografía catalana, al igual que tipologías diversas de barracas de viña, por ejemplo, también se pueden dar en estos lugares. En cuanto a la cronología parece que la verdadera expansión de estas construcciones se da entre mediados del siglo XVIII y mediados del siglo XX, con una etapa de mucha mayor incidencia constructiva entre la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y primer cuarto del XX, vinculado al aumento de la superficie cultivada, por venta o cesión de las tierras improductivas de los señores, de la conversión de los bosques comunales o por la privatización de extensiones de terreno considerables tras la desamortización.

spent the early hours of sunday morning with IAN,at St.Marys Island,Whitley Bay.

we steered clear of the causeway (which attracted half a dozen or so other photographers) and headed around the bay instead.the problem being we were out of sight of the sunrise,so instead had to put more emphasis on the coastal features.that said,i was still struggling to control the very bright sky,which was pretty cloudless and not as moody as i would have liked.still you cant have everything all the time i suppose.(clear blue skies and the north east of England in november do not normally go hand in hand).i have 4 or 5 shots to post this week,from this shoot,and although they all may look similar at first glance,i think you will see that the main compositions are all totally unique.i enjoyed this trip as i think it made me look harder for compositions as there was no great sunrise to hide behind.

i hope you like the results :)

 

NEXT SUNDAYS MEET AT HOLY ISLAND IS STILL A CERT,SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING SOME OF YOU FOLKS,BOTH NEW AND OLD.UNTIL THEN,HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE

Ronda was first settled by the early Celts, but its subsequent Roman and then Moorish rulers are reflected most prominently in its architecture. The forces of Catholic Spain took control of the town in 1485, during the Reconquista.

 

Ronda is situated in a very mountainous area about 750 metres (2,500 ft) above mean sea level. The Guadalevín River runs through the city, dividing it in two and carving out the steep, 100 plus meters deep El Tajo canyon upon which the city perches.

 

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, as the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 metres (390 ft) above the canyon floor, and all three serve as some of the city's most impressive features.

Now if human engineers can do that, don't you think God can? In fact, God's mountain-moving ability may be your only hope right now.

 

Let's remember the miracle Jesus promised to us, as recorded in our word for today from the Word of God. In Mark 11:23, He says, "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Obviously, it's not the power of your word that removes mountains; it's the power of God. The words immediately preceding these dramatic promises are these: "Have faith in God."

 

But we have a God who does remove mountains that appear as if they could never be moved - in answer to the faith-believing prayers of His children. And this may be one of those times when the only way there's going to be a road for you is if God blows away the mountain that stands in the way. But you can ask Him, you can trust Him to do just that, within the boundaries of His perfect will.

 

Our mountains don't usually come in the form of huge rock formations. For you, what blocks the way might be a person whose heart is hard; whose heart needs a miraculous change. God does those. According to Proverbs 21:1, "The heart of the king is in His hand." Maybe your mountain is seemingly impossible financial obstacles. That's the kind our ministry was facing as it became clear that God wanted us to build our own headquarters to better carry out His orders. We didn't have one dollar in a building fund, we had no reserves and no clear idea of where such an amount would come from. But in less than a year, there was the headquarters, totally debt-free. There was this mountain, and then by God's power and grace, there was a road.

 

Maybe it's going to take a change of leadership in order for there to be a way, a miraculous recovery, or a seemingly impossible breakthrough. God does all of those, too. God's allowed you to run up against this mountain so you would run to the end of you. All our lives, we underestimate and under trust the God we have. There's way too much of us and way too little of God. And then there it is - that massive mountain in the way, so huge there's nothing you can do to move it. Praise God you are at the end of you and possibly at the beginning of unleashing your Lord as never before.

 

Looking at that mountain, you'd have to say, "No way." But looking at your all-powerful God, don't you ever say, "No way." He blows away mountains and makes a road where you could have never dreamed there would be one, and then He gets all the glory!

Face down with the LA curbside endings

With the ones and zeros.

Downtown was the perfect place to hide.

The first star that I saw last night was a headlight

Of a man-made sky, but man- made never made our dreams collide,

Collide.

 

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain,

We're awakening

Here we are now with our desperate youth and the pain,

We're awakening

Maybe it's called ambition, you've been talking in your sleep

About a dream, we're awakening

 

Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines,

With my dead beat sky but, this town doesn't look the same tonight

These dreams started singing to me out of nowhere

And in all my life I don't know if I've ever felt so alive,

Alive

 

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to know that my heart's still beating,

It's beating,

I'm bleeding

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to live like I know what I'm leaving

I want a heart that I know is beating,

It's beating... it's beating...

I'm bleeding

We found a few interesting little subjects, amongst them this new swing gate for walkers, it looks as if the old type styles are being replaced, quite sad really, but a lot handier for we old timers. If you stretch up a bit, you should just see the gate................... !!!!

You will also notice the new yellow signs directing the hikers and the two very old weathered sign posts.

La Costa di Nebida, con il Pan di Zucchero sullo sfondo, fotografata dalla Laveria Lamarmora

 

Coast from Nebida to Masua with Pan di Zucchero taken fromLamarmora washery ruins

 

Dal sentiero panoramico è possibile raggiungere con una lunghissima scalinata i resti della "Laveria Lamarmora", costruita nel 1897 dalla “Società anonima di Nebida” e utilizzata fino alla metà degli anni '30. È un edificio costruito con pietra a vista che si sviluppa su alcuni volumi sovrapposti percorsi da grandi archi ed è completato da due alte ciminiere che la segnalano con evidenza, ai piedi della laveria sul mare sono visibili i forni di calcinazione.

La sua realizzazione a strapiombo sul mare fu necessaria per facilitare il trasporto dei minerali dai luoghi di estrazione alla penisola, ed avere a portata di mano la grande quantità d’acqua necessaria per quel tipo di lavorazione.

Amapola - Juan Luis Guerra

 

The Monastery of Sant Benet de Bagés is a former Benedictine monastery, in the Catalan comarca of Bages. The Romanesque monastery was thoroughly restored at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch.

The monastery was founded about 950 by the noble Salla and his consort Ricarda, of the house of the viscounts of Osona . According to the founding legend, Salla traveled to Rome to have his institution authorized, and to have it depend directly on the Holy See, the usual method for preserving the community from interference from the bishop of Vic, in whose diocese it lay. The abbey church was consecrated 3 December 972, witnessed by a gathering of notables: Borrell II, Count of Barcelona, the bishops Frugifer of Vic, Guisad of Urgell and Pere of Barcelona, the viscount Guadald of Osona, and three of the four offspring of the recently deceased founder, his son Isarn and the sisters Quíxol and Ego, at the head of witnesses both laymen and priests, in a grand ceremonial recorded in the surviving act of consecration.

The community was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and to Benedict of Nursia (Sant Benét in Catalan) founder of the order, and Peter and Andrew, all guarantors of its future orthodoxy. The founder secured dispensations that the future abbots would be chosen from among their descendents, making the abbey a form of proprietary church, an agreement that would soon lead to disputes among the various branches of their lineage as to choice of abbots.

From 965, the abbey church held the supposed relics of Saint Valentine, enclosed in a wooden reliquary with plates of silver depicting miraclesa of Saint Valentine, rediscovered in 1863 in the church of Navarcles.At the beginning of the eleventh century the monastery passed under the direction of the Abbey of Saint Peter of Tomeras at Narbonne, from which the community freed itself in 1108. In 1125 Sant Benet de Bagés suffered from an attack by Moors that required a rebuilding, financed by local nobles who required in return the right to be buried in its consecrated ground.

The most splendid age of Sant Benet de Bagés was in the fourteenth century. The Black Death left the community with only two survivors, in a period that witnessed the beginning of its decline. On 9 November 1593, by order of Pope Clement VIII the community passed under the direction of the Abbey of Montserrat, and remained so until it was suppressed in 1820, serving as a place of retirement for Montserrat's community of monks. By the "law of desamortización" of 1835, all religious orders in Spain were required to render upo their possessions.The crumbling ancient structure attracted the interest of intellectuals who organised visits to it in the late nineteenth century. The architect Puig i Cadafalch and the painter Ramon Casas encouraged the mother of Casas to buy the property in 1907; in 1910 it passed into the hands of Casas, who commissioned Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. Since 2000, when it was purchased from Casas' heirs it has belonged to the Caixa de Manresa, a financial institution that has undertaken its maintenance.

La iglesia de Santa María de Talamanca es un gran edificio románico del siglo XII, restaurado. Consta de una única nave, de cruz latina, con transepto rematado por un ábside semicircular, decorado con una ventana esculpida. En el exterior, el acceso al templo se realiza mediante una portada de arquivolta sencilla sobre columnas con capiteles muy trabajados que presentan decoración vegetal. Situada a los pies del castillo, aparece mentada en 1083 cuando se jura un testamento sacramental sobre el altar consagrado a Sant Pere situado en la iglesia de Santa María de Talamanca. Es en el siglo XVIII cuando la iglesia fue reformada y de una nave pasó a tener tres, aunque las naves laterales fueran más cortas que la central. Conserva el mausoleo notable del caballero Berenguer de Talamanca, construido en el siglo XIV.

The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.

Away from the lights of big cities, on top of a mountain over 3,700 meters: this is how the Milky Way appears in the night sky. The Norwegian photographer Tisso spent a week in high mountain El Teide in the Canary Islands, Spanish territory in the Atlantic Ocean. To make the videos, he spent hours taking one photo per minute from the same point in the sky. As the earth rotates, each photo captures a slightly different position of the stars. When you put all images in sequence, Tisso creates a movie from the sky.

He says that the series of photos to create these videos lasted up to six hours, and the result are films of a few seconds, but of indescribable beauty. During the day, he used to do Tisso sequences of the landscapes of the island. He says he spent the whole time on the mountain, almost without sleep to make the maximum possible sequences. Tisso concludes: "Despite all the work, is a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoor life. "

Ruinas del Castillo de Chinchon. También llamado castillo de los Condes, se encuentra al sur del casco urbano de Chinchón, en la Comunidad de Madrid (España). Es una de las dos fortalezas del municipio, junto con el castillo de Casasola. Construido en el siglo XV, está constituido por dos cuerpos cuadrangulares imbricados, con esquinas rematadas en torres cilíndricas. Todos los muros exteriores del castillo están realizados en mampostería caliza concertada y rellenos por argamasa y piedras, lo que le otorga un aspecto muy homogéneo.

Ha sufrido constantes modificaciones, hasta llegar a una de principios del siglo XX para acondicionarlo como fábrica de anís.

Isola di San Pietro - Carloforte

Un frammento di Liguria trapiantato in Sardegna

 

Nel 1738 ,infatti, l'isola di San Pietro fu colonizzata dagli abitanti di Tabarka, un'isola tunisina, colonia ligure di proprietà dei Lomellini, allora signori di Pegli, che allo scopo di sfruttare i ricchi banchi di corallo l'avevano popolata con pescatori quasi esclusivamente pegliesi.

Conosciuta l'intenzione del Re di Sardegna Carlo Emanuele III, di voler procedere alla ripopolazione della Sardegna ne approfittarono per lasciare definitivamente Tabarka - ormai in balia de corsari di Tunisi e Algeri - e stabilirsi nell'isola di San Pietro ove si dedicarono alla pesca del corallo, del tonno per mezzo delle tonnare, ed alla produzione di sale.

La région de Montecatini est occupée depuis les temps préhistoriques, mais la première mention de la cité date de 716 de notre ère. En 1164, elle est citée comme une commune libre, mais elle est conquise plus tard par la République de Lucques. Au XIVe siècle son château fut assiégé durant la bataille de Montecatini entre la république de Florence et les condottières Uguccione della Faggiuola et Castruccio Castracani.

 

Les premiers bains furent édifiés en 1540. En 1554, ils sont ouverts aux Siennois, et en conséquence de quoi ils furent détruits en représailles par Cosme Ier de Médicis, premier grand-duc de Toscane.

 

L'activité balnéaire reprit au XVIIIe siècle, lorsque les premières véritables installations balnéaires furent construites.

Listen Amarantine Enya

 

You know when you give your love away

It opens your heart,

Everything is new.

And you know time will always find a way

To let your heart believe it's true.

 

You know love is everything you say;

A whisper, a word,

Promises you give.

You feel it in the heartbeat of the day.

You know this is the way love is.

 

[Chorus:]

Amarantine...

Amarantine...

Amarantine...

Love is.

Love is.

Love...

 

You know love may sometimes make you cry,

So let the tears go,

They will flow away,

For you know love will always let you fly

...How far a heart can fly away!

 

[Chorus]

 

You know when love's shining in your eyes

It may be the stars

Fallen from above.

And you know love is with you when you rise,

For night and day belong to love.
