All my photos nicely presented on black on this very cool site called DARCKR by Laurent HENOQUE
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.

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.
Dorothy Parker
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.

White Oleander . . .a gift from Victoria, came with a little red spider for good luck.
Oleander grows well in warm subtropical regions, where it is extensively used as an ornamental plant in landscapes, parks, and along roadsides. It is drought tolerant and will tolerate occasional light frost down to -10°C, 14F [2]. It is commonly used as a decorative freeway median in California and other mild-winter states in the Continental United States because deer will not eat it due to its high toxicity, it is tolerant of a variety of poor soils, and drought tolerant. It can also be grown in cooler climates in greenhouses and conservatories, or as indoor plants that can be kept outside in the summer. Oleander flowers are showy and fragrant and are grown for these reasons. Over 400 cultivars have been named, with several additional flower colours not found in wild plants having been selected, including red, purple, pink and orange; white and a variety of pinks are the most common. Many cultivars also have double flowers. Young plants grow best in spaces where they do not have to compete with other plants for nutrients.

¿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

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

Title from the song made popular by Debbie Boone.
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life
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 ;-)
Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colors; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow. - Kahlil Gibran

View from the top of 'Levant Terril' at Mons in Belgium.
A 'terril' is a hill made from mining waste. There are still a lot of them in the old mining regions like Mons, now being appreciated as green areas.
I've used a ND1000 filter in order to have an 'evening effect' even if the sun was high in the sky.
This is NOT a tone-mapped HDR but a digital blending of 3 exposures. The main exposure was of 30 sec.

El Real Monasterio de Santa María de Poblet es el prototipo de abadía cisterciense española y panteón real de los reyes de la Corona de Aragón, desde Alfonso II.
Localizado en la comarca de la Conca de Barberà, en la localidad de Vimbodí, en Tarragona, el primer cenobio fue impulsado y patrocinado por el conde Ramón Berenguer IV, quien lo entregó a los monjes bernardos de la abadía de Fontfroide en el año 1149 (siglo XII).
Enriquecido con distintas donaciones, alcanzó su máximo esplendor en el siglo XIV, y su total decadencia y abandono en 1835 como consecuencia de la desamortización de Mendizábal. En 1930 se inició su restauración, de forma que en 1935 pudo dedicarse nuevamente la iglesia al culto, y en 1940 retornaban a su abadía algunos monjes. No todos los espacios pueden visitarse, por ser dependencias en clausura utilizadas por los cistercienses que de nuevo ocupan el monasterio.
En 1991 fue declarado por la UNESCO Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Poblet, junto con Guadalupe, El Escorial, San Millán de Yuso y San Millán de Suso son los monasterios en España que gozan de este título.
The Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet is a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1151, located in the comarca of Conca de Barberà, in Catalonia (Spain). It was founded by Cistercian monks from France.
It was the royal pantheon of the kings of the Crown of Aragon since James I of Aragon.
This monastery was abandoned in 1835 and was restored during the 1940s.
This monastery was the first of three sister monasteries, known as the Cistercian triangle, that helped consolidate power in Catalonia in the 12th century. (The other two are Vallbona de les Monges and Santes Creus)
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, since 1991.

Listen Mes Yeux Fermés - Zero Noël
Lorsque ton regard s'est caché sous la table
Et la fumée nerveuse de ma cigarette
A rempli la pièce d'une lumière bizarre,
Je sens peser les mots,
Je sens, les ondes sont troublées
{Refrain:}
Le besoin que j'ai de posséder ton regard
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
{au Refrain}
Où sommes-nous allés ?
Trop loin, trop loin {x4}

Once again, i did a stop on that Sammamish road this morning before going to the office. There was this small flock of geese flying over me and i did my best to nail them to the foggy environment. to be honest, i think i would have prefered having my 100-400 with me this time, if you see what i mean. but i'm still satisfied with the shot.

When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone
And when the day has all but ended
And our echo starts to fade
No you will not be alone then
And you will not be afraid
No you will not be afraid
When the fog has finally lifted
From my cold and tired brow
No I will not leave you crying
And I will not let you down
No I will not let you down
I will not let you down
Now comes the night
Feel it fading away
And the soul underneath
Is it all that remains
So just slide over here
Leave your fear in the fray
Let us hold to each other
Until the end of our days
When the hour is upon us
And our beauty surely gone
No you will not be forgotten
No you will not be alone
No you will not be alone

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.

Goa is more acclaimed for its flamboyant music and dance and the spirit of happiness then for anything else.
You have all kinds of music permeating the state of Goa from its local Konkani to the international trends of trance and oft times,lamentably, the Britney Spears variety of popular music performed by some Goan bands. Jazz as is usual does not have a vast popular audience but there are some earnest believers in that genre of music.
Jazz in Goa is in a state of creative ferment with the efforts of the Amando Gonsalves and his merry band of jazz organisers
You can read more on them at the Heritage Jazz www.heritagejazz.com/
Artists from around the world arrive and play in and around the heritage area of Campal in Panjim right next door to the heritage Gonsalves Mansion.
Saskia Laroo was performing in Goa on the night of 7th December 2008, soon after the Bombay terrorist carnage on 26the November. She is magic on the trumpet and as I said earlier, a consummate artist.
The line up on that night was the following -
2. Warren Byrd on keyboard and vocals
3. Andy Valkenburg (bass)...(( I better do his shots fast..)
4. Ms. Dorota Piotrowska (Drum)
5. Mr. Alexander Beets (Saxophonist

I took this moments ago of one of the Ranunculus I brought home yesteday. I like to have fresh flowers around the house...Always cheery to see them.......On this dull dreary day here in Mississauga, I couldn't help but post this one too ;) I hope you enjoy it..........
"Ranunculus is a large genus of about 400 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae."
"THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF
ranunculus
Native to Asia and celebrated for its medicinal properties as well as its bright beauty, the small camellia-like ranunculus ranges from white to pink, red to yellow to orange. Also known as Buttercup and Coyote’s Eyes, legend has it that the mythological Coyote was tossing his eyes up in the air and catching them when Eagle snatched them. Unable to see, Coyote created eyes from the buttercup.
In the language of flowers, a bouquet of ranunculus says, “I am dazzled by your charms.”

This is a stitched panorama of the SunDial Bridge located in Redding, California.
Spanning the Sacramento River, the 700 foot long, 23 foot wide bridge was designed by one of the world’s foremost bridge designers, Santiago Calatrava. The span is supported by 4,342 feet of steel cable suspended from a single, white, 217 foot high pylon that is said to resemble an egret in flight. The pylon is situated at the exact north end of the bridge and acts as a sundial casting its shadow across a grassy plaza. The walkway is made of nonskid glass that is illuminated from underneath at night, and during the daytime casts only a minimal shadow on the water. At no point does it touch the water. This is of environmental importance due to the fact that this particular part of the river is the spawning ground for thousands of Chinook salmon.
