"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 saw the 1st show of Jimmy Eat World's Clarity 10X10 tour - 10 shows celebrating the 10th anniversary of the release of their first album. As an encore, they played this song off an old EP, and I'm a little bit in love with it right now. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do =)

I've got my car, we could go and sit a while.

I know it won't turn over but we'll get somewhere just the same

I'm through talking

(it's the strangest thing, I feel safe when I'm lonely)

don't take too much

you'll get burned if it's all at one time

take it easy don't you get it?

it's just an expression

would you raise your voice every time a little dirt gets under?

cry if you want

(it's the return of no sensitivity)

you don't have to scream to say something that you honestly mean

the world won't turn without you

and I am amazed you're standing still

your problems, they aren't problems

be glad they never will

I'm taking my kisses back

I want my kisses back from you

when you hear those footsteps calling

it's O.K. if you don't answer

isn't it obvious?

I thought it was obvious.

North Star Roller Girl Rhea Lentless is also a very talented wedding photographer. She asked me to come along as second shooter this past Saturday. We had lots of fun in the small arboretum by the Walker Art Gallery in Minneapolis, before moving to the ceremony itself in the (gorgeous) flower-pool garden of the McNeeley Conservatory in Saint Paul.

 

Rhea let me stage a few on my own. I just 'saw' this in my head but we couldn't find the groomsmen so we almost bailed on it. I'm glad now we didn't! It's one of my favorites from the whole day! :-)

My internet was back once again, I hope it will be stable. Another shot from Buagsong Cordova visit with my very best friend Alex and my wife. Those rocks actually very sharp edges and it is very difficult to sneak in if you don’t have a proper gear.

 

Have a great day to everyone!!!

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?

In May my heart was breaking-

Oh, wide the wound, and deep!

And bitter it beat at waking,

And sore it split in sleep.

 

And when it came November,

I sought my heart, and sighed,

"Poor thing, do you remember?"

"What heart was that?" it cried.

Location: Along a fishing-lake at Haren-Ems (Emsland) Germany.

 

Description: Taken this morning while I was driving somewhere near the city Haren, when I noticed a large (sport-fishing) lake on the right side of the road. Initially I wanted to take some shots of this lake together with these thick cloud formation. But when I looked at the right side along this lake, I noticed these streamlined sky that seemed like a vein of heaven. So, I mounted the camera on my Manfrotto, made some shots, with different f-stops, from a low-angled position. When I got home, I was really surprised about how the sky eventually turned out: it was exactly what I had in mind, but it wasn't quite noticeable on spot with the relatively little LCD-display and bright low-angled morning sunlight.

 

Exposure: 3 brackets of -2 Ev, +/-0 Ev and +2 Ev at f/8, securely mounted on a Manfrotto 190.

Technique: HDR Tone Mapping & PS color and contrast enhancements.

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.

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.

An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

 

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures

 

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

And as the plane crashed down he thought

"Well isn't this nice..."

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

 

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought... it figures

 

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out when

You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up

In your face

I been tagged by Irena and Emily. I have to answer the following 5 questions regarding photography and tag another 10 contacts.

 

1. What I like to photograph the most:

Whatever I see through my viewfinder… but seriously, I really don’t know, I’m still trying to find that niche which appeals to me.

 

2. What I like to photograph the least:

You know when someone says, can you take a picture of us… Any time a sentence starts off that way, I just don’t like to do it because it’s not composed…

I also don’t like to take a picture of a picture (e.g. artwork in a museum) unless I use it selectively with depth.

 

3. Photography Pet Peeves:

When people take images with tripods that could otherwise be done handheld (and I know they’re not stopped down or taking HDR images too)…

Speaking of which, anyone want to buy my tripod ;-)

 

4. What I admire from other photographers:

Everything they can do that I can’t!

But I admire and value their sincerity, their willingness to share and not be snobby.

 

5. What I'd like to learn better:

I don’t own a strobe so the first item on my list is lighting!

Also: fashion photography, creative manipulation, portraits… basically everything you don’t see on my stream.

  

I tag whoever wants to do this under my comments ;-)

I took this picture in the beautiful area of Friburgo - on the " Serra " its a wild hortensia - I had never seen one wild - taken during a walk "up in the hills" with my dear friends into the one of the most beautiful natural enviroment I have seen,I was so happy there ... and there it was the bright blue hortensia ... it had just bloomed! .... and as the terrible floods that have destroyed the " Zona Serrana" - just about 100km off Rio- Nova Friburgo, Teresopolis, Petrópolis, Sumidouro, São José do Vale do Rio Preto - this is my small tribute to the victims of this tragedy - meu pequeno tributo as vitimas desta tragedia; may it all bloom again as this little hortensia from Friburgo. My heart goes to all those people and also to my friends over there ... this is my small homage to all the victims of these terrible floods. So all together let us work for this not to happen to our planet

I apologize if i'm being redundant for some. but this morning on january 12 was a great exciting day, fog wise. :)

Every time i go there, there's always something happening. a large atmospheric detail, or a tiny detail. general mood is different too, tones. everything.

 

With an effective 640mm i can now reach details on the other side of the lake, probably one or two kilometers away. maybe more? i admit having troubles evaluating the distances above Lake Sammamish.

Los pliegos de la licitación marcan tiempos distintos a los de la política.

 

Las primeras 5.000 lectoras de tarjetas estarán colocadas en no menos de 360 días hábiles. El proceso exige “pruebas piloto”, “un plan de proyecto definitivo” y otros pasos que retrasarán la implementación. Toda la red metropolitana se cubre con 17.000 máquinas.

Texto: Critica Digital.

  

El Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico (SUBE) no podrá seguir los tiempos que le impusieron la política y la necesidad de los usuarios de conseguir monedas para viajar todos los días. Los pliegos de la licitación marcan otra realidad. En una primera entrega, 5.000 lectoras de tarjetas magnéticas estarán colocadas en no menos de 360 días hábiles, es decir, en 16 meses. Y las 10.000 licitadas en este primer proceso público recién marcarán boletos a fines de 2012. El total de máquinas necesario para cubrir las 340 líneas de colectivo y las 259 estaciones de tren de Capital y el primer cordón del conurbano bonaerense asciende a 17 mil.

 

El pliego de condiciones particulares de la Licitación Pública Nº 4 para la provisión y mantenimiento de lectoras de tarjetas magnéticas para colectivos, subte y trenes fue adjudicado el 14 de julio a la UTE conformada por Siemens, Metronex (Grupo Roggio) e Indra.

 

Cuatro días después el secretario de Transporte, Juan Pablo Schiavi, intentó calmar la ansiedad de los viajantes de abandonar el pago con moneda: “La tarjeta única para el pago de boletos funcionará en todos los ramales de trenes metropolitanos dentro de un mes o un mes y medio”. El cronograma de entrega le da prioridad a los colectivos y luego a los ferrocarriles.

 

Al volver a la provisión de máquinas para el transporte automotor, el Anexo IV del pliego de condiciones, Nación Servicios (la unidad de negocios del Banco encargada de administrar el sistema de transporte) marca los pasos a seguir. “El adjudicatario deberá efectuar las pruebas solicitadas en un lapso no mayor a los 10 (diez) días hábiles contados a partir de su notificación”. Las tres compañías proveedoras fueron informadas por la entidad estatal de la adjudicación a mediados de julio, por lo que estiman que completarán “el período de testeo” a fines de mes, según contaron a este diario.

 

Además, el documento oficial les exige que el 3 de agosto presenten un “plan de proyecto definitivo”, en el que deberán detallar las condiciones técnicas, estrategias de instalación y los servicios que brindarán, una vez que se les notifique la “orden de compra”. Es decir, que la UTE conformada por Siemens, Indra y Metronex pondrá en funcionamiento el “plan piloto” una vez que reciba el primer cheque de manos de Nación Servicios. Ese proceso podría demorar otros 15 días adicionales.

 

En una tercera instancia, el Gobierno tendrá que “aprobar el plan de proyecto definitivo”, dentro de los siguientes 30 días hábiles, y recién después las proveedoras estarán “habilitadas para la puesta en producción de 2.000 equipos para las líneas de colectivos involucradas” dentro de los siguientes 150 días corridos.

 

Una vez que se coloquen esas 2.000 lectoras, con sus respectivos “68 equipos móviles de descarga de transacciones” y “100 terminales de inspección”, las compañías tendrán permiso de colocar otras 2.000 lectoras durante los siguientes 180 días hábiles.

 

El cronograma de entregas de las 10 mil máquinas sigue. El proceso completo podría demorar más de tres años.

 

En concreto, una semana antes de las elecciones se repartieron 50 mil tarjetas SUBE. Se subieron al sistema Monedero ya instalado en el subte y las líneas de colectivo 101, 50, 5, 8, 61, 62 y el ferrocarril Urquiza.

 

De las cinco licitaciones, cuatro ya tienen ganador oficial

 

El Gobierno dio varias definiciones el viernes a la noche sobre las licitaciones pendientes en el SUBE. Según pudo saber Crítica de la Argentina, Nación Servicios calificó de “no elegibles” a Indra y a Unión Transitoria de Empresas (UTE) formada por la filial local de Tallion, la estadounidense HID y la coreana EB Corp. Esos grupos compitieron en el concurso Nº 5 con otra UTE formada por Metronex (grupo Roggio) y Siemens. Por descarte, fuentes del sector comentaron a este diario que la alianza entre la alemana y el grupo que opera el subte “se quedaron con el negocio del clearing”: la puesta en marcha del sistema de back office que administrará la recaudación diaria de cada medio de transporte. La cuarta licitación (concurso para la provisión y posterior instalación de lectoras magnéticas) fue adjudicada a la UTE Siemens, Metronex y la española Indra el 10 de julio.

 

El resultado de la segunda y tercera licitación pasó inadvertido. Ganaron Telecom y Global Crossing. Cada una se encargará de uno de los centros de cómputos que demandarán un total de 1,08 millón de dólares.

 

La filial latinoamericana de Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) se quedó con la tercera licitación. El concurso, del que también participaron Transtex y Gemalto, fue para elegir al proveedor de 50 mil dispositivos de carga y descarga de tarjetas. G&D, de capitales alemanes, fue adjudicataria de la primera licitación de provisión de tarjetas. Fabricará cinco millones de plásticos inteligentes a cambio de siete millones de dólares.

Kate Ryan - Désenchantée Remix. . . Its an awesome version^^

 

Kate Ryan- Desénchantée or Mylène Farmer - Désenchantée

Nager dans les eaux troubles

Des lendemains

Attendre ici la fin

Flotter dans l'air trop lourd

Du presque rien

A qui tendre la main

Si je dois tomber de haut

Que ma chute soit lente

Je n'ai trouvé de repos

Que dans l'indifférence

Pourtant, je voudrais retrouver l'innocence

Mais rien n'a de sens, et rien ne va

 

Tout est chaos

A côté

Tous mes idéaux, des mots

Abimés

Je cherche une âme, qui

Pourra m'aider

Je suis d'une

Génération désenchantée,

Désenchantée...

 

English^^

To swim in troubled waters

for days,

To wait here for the end.

To float in air, too heavy

from almost nothing.

To whom to reach out a hand?

If I must fall from high,

May my fall be gentle.

I found rest only in indifference.

Still, I would like to find innocence again,

But nothing makes sense and nothing goes right.

 

All is Chaos,

On all sides,

All my ideals; the words overwhelmed,

I look for a soul who is able to help me.

I am of a disenchanted generation.

Disenchanted ...

It houses an important collection of exotic plants. It is the oldest building in Golden Gate Park and the oldest municipal wooden conservatory remaining in the United States. It is also one of the first municipal conservatories constructed in the country.

Rupit, Barcelona (Spain).

 

View Large On White

 

ENGLISH

Rupit and Pruit (in Catalan Rupit i Pruit) are a municipality of the region of Osona located to the northeast of the region and the east of the Sierra de Cabrera. It is integrated by two urban nuclei: Rupit and Pruit, that they were independent until year 1980. It is the last town of the province of Barcelona in the highway that unites the municipalities of Vic, capital of the region of Osona and Olot, capital of the region of the Garrotxa (Girona).

 

The origin of the town we found in the castle that was constructed around year 1000, replacing the one of Fàbregues, where they went constructing houses around.

 

In 14th century the population underwent a reduction but it recovered, arriving in 17th and 18th centuries at the maximum splendor that has never had the town. The church was possibly built between 13th and 14th centuries, and it was dedicated to San Miguel Arcángel.

 

Pruit already names in year 955, when it belonged to viscounts of Osona. Always there is been united to the castle and jurisdiction of Rupit.

CASTELLANO

Rupit y Pruit (en catalán Rupit i Pruit) es un municipio de la comarca de Osona situado al noreste de la comarca y al este de la Sierra de Cabrera. Está integrado por dos núcleos urbanos: Rupit y Pruit, que fueron independientes hasta el año 1977. Es el último pueblo de la provincia de Barcelona en la carretera que une los municipios de Vic, capital de la comarca de Osona y Olot, capital de la comarca de La Garrotxa (Gerona).

 

La iglesia de Sant Joan de Fàbregues y su castillo están documentados desde el año 968. Hacia el siglo XII surgió el pueblo de Rupit habitado por familias nobles. En 1878, la iglesia de Rupit dejó de depender de Sant Joan de Fàbregues y en 1959 el municipio pasó a llamarse Rupit. En 1977 se unieron los municipios de Rupit y Pruit.

Tout en laissant mes yeux fermés

J'ai beau essayer, je ne sais t'oublier,

Maintenant je garde mes yeux fermés

 

Mais le tort de marcher trop vite fait souffler

Un vent froid et léger,

Parce que demain tout cela sera oublié

Oublié, oublié, oublié

 

Nous marchons sans parler, la tête baissée

Tu devines mes pensées,

Le long d'un trottoir, il fait gris,

Je sens venir la pluie

Reading cultural studies train stations are often referred to as the cathedrals of the 19th and 20th century. Impressive structures of steal, marble and glass giving open space to new horizons. People seem tiny but full of passions: Movement and standing still, departure and arrival, love and tragedy all at the same time. Yes, I love train stations and I like taking pictures there: www.flickr.com/photos/mfellnerphoto/sets/72157622767509898/ My working place is directly opposite Munich’s train station and so I am there almost every day and I really enjoy the thrilling atmosphere.

 

On Flickr you find a lot of pictures of trains and train stations. Two absolute professionals I would like to introduce to you: First is Toni from Zurich, Switzerland. He is a master of perfection, light and speed and even develops his own special equipment to capture it. He likes his country, especially the world famous Matterhorn www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72157616254791791/ and his hometown Zurich www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72057594095664232/ But he has many other subjects like stairs www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72157608362476329/ , driving through tunnels www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72157594527812711/ , and churches www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72157607376417847/ . But among his top favorites are- as I told you - trains and train stations: www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72157594153147368/ , www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/sets/72157600038964283/

 

The second photographer is Philippe from Andrésy, France. His special talent is it to show us the moving and waiting, depressed and overjoyed people in the train stations. One masterpiece he posted lately is this one: www.flickr.com/photos/44582052@N07/4390834142/. Like me he also loves shadows and silhouettes: www.flickr.com/photos/44582052@N07/4327621439/in/set-7215... , www.flickr.com/photos/44582052@N07/4131174849/in/set-7215... . And here is his amazing latest hits album: www.flickr.com/photos/44582052@N07/sets/72157623378100115/.

 

So Toni and Philippe keep it up. Maybe next holidays you both can buy an Interrail ticket and travel and capture the world of European train stations for us!!!

 

P.S.: On this picture you can see a TGV. Since last year it is possible to travel from Munich to Paris via TGV. But to take a picture you really have to get up early because it departs at 6.20 a.m.

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.

Sorry flickr friends for not being around as much as i would like!

A day of frustration....

I dont normally like a photo split in half like this, but for me it just works.

Then Mother nature gave me an opportunity to take this..

Very Similar to "Portal" But it isnt often you get conditions like this here, So i am very thankful!

And yes, this is largely untouched except for a crop, sharpening and a little saturation boost, this 14mm is gold!

Tired of lying in the sunshine

Staying home to watch the rain

And you are young and life is long

And there is time to kill today

And then one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

 

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

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.

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. "

I've heard people say that

Too much of anything is not good for you, baby

Oh no

But I don't know about that

There's many times that we've loved

We've shared love and made love

It doesn't seem to me like it's enough

There's just not enough of it

There's just not enough

Oh oh, babe

My darling, I can't get enough of your love babe

Girl, I don't know, I don't know why

Just like the more you give, the more I want

And baby, that's no lie

Oh no, babe

 

Tell me, what can I say?

What am I gonna do?

How should I feel when everything is you?

What kind of love is this that you're givin' me?

Is it in your kiss or just because you're sweet?

 

Girl, all I know is every time you're here

I feel the change

Somethin' moves

Girl, if I could only make you see

And make you understand

Girl, your love for me is all I need

And more than I can stand

Oh well, babe

 

How can I explain all the things I feel?

You've given me so much

Girl, you're so unreal

Still I keep loving you

More and more each time

Girl, what am I gonna do

Because you blow my mind

 

I get the same old feelin' every time you're here

I feel the change

Somethin' moves

I scream your name

Do whatcha got to do (?)

 

Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe

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.

And this is also my return to photography, during the break I didn't do any, you know, just busy with life :) And I also didn't have a camera, I missed making pictures so much!!

Now I have a new camera, but life is still pretty busy, so don't expect much though :)

I promise I will try my best, the motivation has never been this big!!

Oh and btw, this was a real jump :)

 

I also want to thank everyone for the Flickr mails and comments during the break.

The sudden appearance of this brillantly colored male Rufous Hummingbird at the feeder left no one guessing who was the boss! The shorter days have signaled the southern movement of the Rufous and the activity has gotten lighter each day. At this point, there are fewer Rufous than there are feeders in our yard yet they still manage to squabble and chase! We'll miss their feisty antics and look forward to their return again in the spring.

inspired by Brooke Shaden.

 

so I'm excited because hopefully today or tomorrow I'll get a chance to try freelensing again, this time on a person. last time I tried, I just got a lot of mega bokeh. but last night I was inspired by the talented Kevin Farris who uses a lot of freelensing. so I'm going to hopefully drag my sister outside and try it!

hooray for experimenting.
