( Lacerta bilineata (Linnaeus, 1758).
C'est est une espèce de sauriens de la famille des Lacertidae. En français elle est nommée **Lézard vert occidental..!**
Je vous explique comment j'ai fait cette photo..!
approche délicate à plat ventre, (j'avais 70ans) jusqu'à ~80 cm et avance de l'APN à bout de bras jusqu'à ~20 cm de lui.. et sans aucun bruit..car c'est le bruit qui le fait s'enfouir comme une flèche.. il faut savoir qu'il est assez myope et ne distingue que des ombres..mais si l'ombre passe trop vite sur lui, il s'enfouit également...le bruit du déclencheur le fait souvent aussi partir... mais il faut savoir que certains sujets plus curieux sont moins farouches que d'autres surtout tout au début des premières sorties où ils sont encore souvent engourdis et à moitié endormis... le meilleur moment de la journée pour les photographier est le soir 10 minutes avant que les rayons du soleil quittent l'emplacement où ils se réchauffent..je pense que l'angle à ce moment là est le plus propice au réchauffement de leur pile interne..qui est nécessaire à leur survie..ayant quand même passé plusieurs mois sous terre à l'ombre.
I don't repost often old shots, but tonight this is perfect to mean what I feel - shot and quote and music too ... so, please, don't mind - I feel blue - but a good kind of blue! - and curry, yes, more curry than blue! - and I feel lucky :-)
good night you all!, and thank you very much for your friendship and appreciation ...

El monasterio benedictino de Ripoll fue fundado por el conde Guifré el Pilós en el año 879. El 20 de abril del año 888 el monasterio de Ripoll fue solemnemente consagrado y dedicado a Santa María.
La creciente importancia del monasterio de Ripoll como centro cultural, con biblioteca,scriptorium y escuela monástica medieval, motivó sucesivas ampliaciones del edificio, siendo la efectuada por el abad Oliba (1008-1046) la que conformaría sus formas definitivas : 60 por 40 metros en un edificio petreo de formas austeras y macizas, de cinco naves, con un cuerpo de edificio delantero encima del cual se levantaron dos torres de campanarios y en la parte posterior un grandioso transepto coronado por un ábside central y tres absidiolos a cada lado.
El templo ha sufrido diversas restauraciones. En especial la realizada tras el terremoto de 1428 y la de 1830 que redujo a tres las cinco naves originales.Las dimensiones de la nave principal son las originales : 60 m. de largo por 9 de ancho. En el crucero y en los muros de la nave central se hallan las tumbas de muchos delos condes de Besalú y Barcelona como Guifré el Pelós, Ramon Berenguer III y IV.
La obra principal del monasterio y de la escultura románica de Catalunya, es la portada del siglo XII. Se divide en siete franjas horizontales donde se representan escenas bíblicas, históricas y alegóricas. La rica iconografía combina los grupos temáticos entre motivos florales de gran exuberancia y ornamentaciones de líneas geométricas, sin ningún lugar en que el cincel no se haya dejado sentir.A ambos lados del portal están las imágenes mutiladas de San Pedro y San Pablo.
El claustro del templo consta de dos pisos. Fué iniciado en siglo XII, quedando paralizada la construcción hasta fines del siglo XIV. La galería superior quedó completada en el siglo XVI. Tiene forma trapezoidal y consta de 112 arcos semicirculares y 252 columnas de capiteles esculpidos con motivos religiosos, mitológicos y populares.

Looks nice on black - View On Black
Esco al fresco vento della sera e come al solito guardo in alto, sperando che uno squarcio di cielo mi sorrida tra quei nuvoloni carichi di pioggia.
Niente. Abbasso lo sguardo sconsolato...
E mi fermo senza parole scrutando l'occidente. Cercavo l'azzurro, ma non vedo che una piccola macchia di fronte alla miriade di colori che mi soffoca. L'orizzonte sembra una prateria data alle fiamme, avviluppata nelle calde tonalita' color arancio, mentre il fuoco danza tra le nubi in un esplosione cremisi ed ocra. Poco sopra, il cielo e' colorato di rosa. Tenui bagliori violetti colorano le nuvole, quasi ad irridere l'esplosione sottostante... uno specchio che riflette le stesse tonalita' piu' in basso, ammorbidite, come un dolce cuscino che teme di scottarsi.
Ancora piu' in alto il greve grigio delle nuvole... e molto piu' in basso la terra comincia a tingersi di nero. Ed in mezzo l'azzurro... il blu che ho sempre amato e che ora mi sembra cosi' lontano, cosi' piccolo ed insignificante... e la scoperta mi riempie di gioia, nonostante la voglia di piangere.

Martín Szyszlican, fue testigo de los momentos previos a lo relatado por Clarín horas mas tarde. El origen de los hechos, pinchando aquí.
En imagen: Tramo ubicado pocos metros antes de llegar a 1ª Junta. Túnel independiente Norte que enlaza actualmente con la vía 4 proveniente de Primera Junta. Por aquí tuvieron que caminar los pasajeros varados entre las estaciones Carabobo y Puan, teniendo que caminar hasta la "terminal operativa" de la línea. A pesar de todo, la terminal física sigue siendo Carabobo. La gente sabrá que esto es así?
12:42 Fue esta mañana, cuando una formación quedó detenida entre Carabobo y Puan. Tras permanecer más de media hora dentro del coche, la empresa los hizo bajar y caminar por las vías hacia la estación Primera Junta.

Más de media hora encerrados y sin respuestas. Así estuvieron los pasajeros de una formación de la línea A de subtes, que quedó varada esta mañana, alrededor de las 10, entre las estaciones Carabobo y Puan. "Después de media hora, abrieron las puertas y nos avisaron que nos teníamos que bajar y caminar hasta Primera Junta", contó Mara, una de las damnificadas.
"Fue un mal momento. Nadie nos decía nada. Luego pusieron una escalera y nos bajaron pero a mí me tuvieron que ayudar porque estoy embarazada", agregó Mara en diálogo con Clarín.com. Tras el incidente, efectuó el reclamo por escrito. Lo propio hizo Diego Garre. "Tomé el tren en Carabobo aproximadamente a las 9:35/40. A las 10:08 llamé al 0800-555-1616 ya que la gente empezaba a bajar de los trenes sin que nadie avise nada, y ahí me informaron que si, que había un problema y que espere al personal. El personal estaba en la entrada de la estación Primera Junta haciendo señales, pero nadie vino a avisarnos que pasaba y de que manera debíamos descender del tren", contó.
Jorge Castro, otro de los damnificados, también se quejó. "Todos los empleados del subte desaparecieron y solo quedaron para tratar de dar explicaciones una pareja de policías, desbordados por la gente".
Desde la empresa Metrovías, confirmaron que la línea A estuvo interrumpida porque una formación, que iba hacia el centro, tuvo un desperfecto técnico a la altura de la estación Primera Junta. "Se les pidió a los pasajeros que se bajen y se pasen a otra formación, pero había un grupo que se negó y se generó como un tapón", dijo un vocero.
No alcanzó para calmar la furia de los usuarios. "Nos sentimos, ultrajados, basureados, vapuleados y creo que me quedo corta con estos adjetivos calificativos", opinó Marta Cestaro, que estuvo en la formación varada.

Además aplican un recorte de gastos del Estado. En la Comuna macrista admiten que los ingresos acumulados en 2009 están por debajo de lo esperado, sobre todo por la baja en Ingresos Brutos. Habrá demoras en trabajos de bacheo, vereditas y arreglos en placitas.

Texto: Por Pablo Novillo.
En la Ciudad ya hablan de "contexto recesivo" y confirman que deberán reducir gastos y "hacer más lenta" la marcha de las obras públicas.
Según la página de la Agencia Gubernamental de Ingresos Públicos, en el acumulado de los primeros cinco meses del año la recaudación alcanzó los $ 4.989 millones.
El dato más evidente de la desaceleración lo mostró el impuesto a los Ingresos Brutos, que creció un 20,4% en cinco meses, cuando en igual plazo de 2008 había saltado el 36,2%. ¿Por qué este número es el más indicativo? Primero, porque grava directamente sobre la actividad económica: si cae, quiere decir que las empresas porteñas están facturando menos. El segundo punto es que este impuesto representa el 70% del total de ingresos de la Ciudad, por lo cual cualquier mala noticia en este rubro tiene fuertes consecuencias.
Pero sí habrá retoques en cuanto a inversiones. En el Gobierno aseguraron que las obras más grandes no se frenarán: las del teatro Colón, el arroyo Maldonado (que tiene financiación del Banco Mundial) y las estaciones de subte Corrientes de la línea H y San José de Flores (imagen) y San Pedrito de la A. Es que este Gobierno, que ganó las elecciones con la promesa de una gestión eficiente y mucha inversión, no quiere tampoco verse obligado a frenar las obras más trascendentales. En cambio, sí podrían ir más lento en la reparación de baches y veredas, arreglos de plazas y otras tareas.
El ajuste también llegará por el lado de los gastos corrientes. Macri ya firmó el decreto N° 493, aún no publicado en el Boletín Oficial, que dispone que hasta fin de año no haya más contrataciones de personal ni compra de vehículos. También evitarán todo lo posible la compra o alquiler de inmuebles, se reducirán al mínimo las misiones y viajes del Ente de Turismo, no habrá viáticos para los funcionarios ni nuevos cargos jerárquicos, y se restringirán las entregas de subsidios y expropiaciones.
Es que el problema no es sólo de más o menos inversiones. Por la crisis, el Estado cada vez recibe más demanda de ayuda social. Fuentes del Gobierno contaron que, en lo que va del año, con el programa Ciudadanía Porteña pasaron de 60.000 a 65.000 familias asistidas por mes, y de 21.000 a 26.000 las que reciben tickets para comprar alimentos. Además, en los 360 comedores comunitarios saltaron de 34.000 a 36.000 raciones diarias de comida.
Estrategia
Guillermo Kellmer
En la Ciudad tenían la previsión sobre una caída en la recaudación pero ahora admiten que en lo que va del año es mayor a la prevista. Sin hablar de freno se reconoce una marcha más lenta en la obra pública. Lo que debería ser una mala noticia en plena campaña electoral, puede convertirse en estrategia. A obras que ya deberían estar terminadas se le suman otras que incrementan la idea de Ciudad intervenida.
A paso lento:
Trabajos en plazas
Hay varias intervenidas. En la plaza de Retiro ya hay demoras y en Constitución (foto) recién empezaron.
Pasos bajo nivel
De las 5 obras licitadas, sólo se avanzó en el túnel de la calle Dorrego (foto), bajo las vías del San Martín.
Intervenciones en veredas
El ensanchamiento de las veredas de Corrientes en Once debía estar para este mes. La obra aún sigue.
ABL y Patentes, con saldo negativo en mayo
No sólo Ingresos Brutos mostró números desesperanzadores. Las tasas de ABL y Patentes directamente tuvieron en mayo un saldo negativo respecto del año pasado.
La principal caída la sufrió Patentes, que facturó $ 28,7 millones, un 17,5% menos que en mayo del año pasado. Esto se debe, claramente, a la fuerte disminución en las ventas de autos: según informaron en el Gobierno, en mayo último hubo un 18,2% menos de patentamientos en la Ciudad respecto de igual mes del año pasado, de acuerdo a las cifras del Registro Nacional de la Propiedad Automotor.
La tasa de ABL, en tanto, mostró una caída del 4,4%, lo que demuestra que ya hay vecinos que están dejando de pagar. De hecho, la recaudación por los planes de facilidades de pago que la AGIP dispone para quienes tienen deudas aumentó un 28% en mayo.
La baja en la recaudación es un problema que en la Ciudad puede ser relativamente más pesado que en el resto del país, porque el Estado porteño se financia para sus gastos en un 88% con recursos propios. La Coparticipación Federal representa sólo el 12%, mientras que en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, por ejemplo, alcanza el 46,2%.
Arriba: Máquina removedora de balastro detenida en el sector "Este" de la futura estación San José de Flores. Si todo sale bien, la obra debería estar terminada a finales de 2011 pero todo parece estar muy lejos aún.

My most favorite shot flickr.com/photos/atrium09/sets/72157594360499066/detail/
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go, losing my control
I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infintely true
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true
Excerpt from fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk/en/location/detail.php?id=76:
Tsuen Wan Jockey Club Tak Wah Park was designed along the classical Chinese garden theme. The park, with an area of about 1.63 hectares, is located in Tsuen Wan town centre. Being a Chinese-style garden that is rarely found in Tsuen Wan, Tak Wah Park provides a fine place for relaxation in the bustling town area. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, construction works of the park were carried out in 2 phases. Phase I was completed in 1989, while Phase II was completed in 1995. Modelled on the setup of a classical Chinese garden, the park has rock mountains made from Taihu rock, thick foliage, ornamental lakes, ancient village houses, a "pai lau", stone bridge, a stone boat, a pavilion and a verandah. A "Chess Garden" was built in the park, where giant stone-carved pieces of Chinese chess are used to display the endgame for the deliberation of chess lovers. In addition, there are 2 theme gardens in the park, namely, "Camellia Garden" and "Herb Garden", where different species of Camellia and herb are grown. Tak Wah Gallery and Environmental Resources Centre are converted from ancient village houses on the site. They are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Environmental Protection Department respectively.
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.
One of my favorite photo in this trip. I took this shot with fisheye so that can present what i feel when i walked under these giant trees.
The tallest known redwood is about 600 years old and was measured at 367.8 feet.The seed is no bigger than one from a tomato,
Lady Bird Johnson Grove,Redwood,California.
About the tree:
Am Rande der Hochburger Klippen
kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=17151
- Die Hochburg ist eine natürliche Festung, die seit der Jungsteinzeit besetzt ist und zu einer keltischen Siedlungsstätte wurde, die bis ins 5. Jahrhundert n Chr. bewohnt war.
- The Hochburg is a natural stronghold occupied since the Neolithic era, which became a Celtic settlement site, inhabited until the 5th century AD.
- Le Hochburg est un bastion naturel occupé depuis le néolithique, devenu un site d'habitat celte jusqu'au 5e siècle après JC.
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?

Dove vai quando poi resti sola
il ricordo come sai non consola
Quando lei se ne andò per esempio
Trasformai la mia casa in tempio
E da allora solo oggi non farnetico più
a guarirmi chi fu
ho paura a dirti che sei tu
Ora noi siamo già più vicini
Io vorrei non vorrei ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
arginare il mare
anche se non voglio
torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
e le verdi terre
Le discese ardite
e le risalite
su nel cielo aperto
e poi giù il deserto
e poi ancora in alto
con un grande salto
Dove vai quando poi resti sola
senza ali tu lo sai non si vola
Io quel dì mi trovai per esempio
quasi sperso in quel letto così ampio
Stalattiti sul soffitto i miei giorni con lei
io la morte abbracciai
ho paura a dirti che per te
mi svegliai
Oramai fra di noi solo un passo
Io vorrei non vorrei ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
arginare il mare
anche se non voglio
torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
e le verdi terre
le discese ardite
e le risalite
su nel cielo aperto
e poi giù il deserto
e poi ancora in alto
con un grande salto
Still no word from the bank about the house. So I wait. And try not to worry. I'm sure a year from now, I'll look back on this and chuckle about how stressed out I was... but right now, not so much.

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.
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.

¿Quién eres tú, la que me canta?
Recuerdo ahora el mar. ¡El mar! Si yo pudiera
volver al mar a aquella playa
donde llovía siempre. Allá arriba las verdes colinas
y más allá la tierra escarlata, y la Gran Cordillera
que vigila volcanes, el viento que sopla desde allí,
y el cielo de cristal.
Nadie en las dunas.
La lluvia ahuyenta
y me deja solo en esta playa de pronto interminable.

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.

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! :-)
Almost too close for me while taking this one! Right on the edge, but fortunately I did not have to go swimming! This is the third take on this image, and it has proven difficult to process. Hopefully I got it right this time : )

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
