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.

I took two shots of the same bike at night - I turned one in Sepia and one in Blue. Both are almost the same composition/crop but the coloring brings different kind of emotion... And when I look at this one in Blue I feel like Sepia, not Blue :)
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.

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.

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!

This is the same set-up as the "Swing" photo; I just composed it slightly differently and rotated it CW 90° so I could use this title. =D I also processed it differently to get results that reminded me of this song.

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.

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
Some of the shots of that night, in no strict order are here.

La backWaters sono costituite da 900 Km di lagune interne e canali che dalla costa penetrano verso l'interno, navigabili a bordo di imbarcazioni un tempo adibite al trasporto di riso e oggi trasformate in case galleggianti (house boats) per i turisti, dotate di ogni comfort.
Collegano via acqua diversi villaggi e città da cui partono le crociere verso le zone turistiche di Kollam e Kottapuram,
La Back waters hanno un ecosistema unico, poichè l'acqua dolce dei fiumi si mescola con l'acqua salata del Mare Arabico.
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. "

Listen Lullaby - Loreena McKennitt
O for a voice like thunder, and a tongue
To drown the throat of war! - When the senses
Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness,
Who can stand? When the souls of the oppressed
Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand?
When the whirlwind of fury comes from the
Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance
Drive the nations together, who can stand?
When Sin claps his broad wings over the battle,
And sails rejoicing in the flood of Death;
When souls are torn to everlasting fire,
And fiends of Hell rejoice upon the slain,
O who can stand? O who hath caused this?
O who can answer at the throne of God?
The Kings and Nobles of the Land have done it!
Hear it not, Heaven, thy Ministers have done it!
Poem by William Blake (1757-1827)
Music by Loreena McKennitt
Loreena Isabel Irene McKennitt, C.M. (born February 17, 1957) is a Canadian singer, composer, harpist and pianist most famous for writing, recording and performing world music with Celtic music and Middle Eastern themes.
A small town in the province of Lleida which sits at the foot of the Sierra del Tallat mountains, in the valley of Maldanell. Its origins date back to a Cistercian monastery which came to be the most important female monastery of the Catalonian-Aragonese Crown.
The monastery was founded in the 12th century and when the Trento Council decided that female monasteries must not be left abandoned, the inhabitants of the area built a village around it. At present, the monastery of Vallbona de les Monjes houses a significant female community. Its architectural wealth lies in the wide variety of styles on display on its walls and exterior, the best of examples of which are the church door, the cloister and the chapter house. Vallbona de les Monges forms part of the so-called Cistercian triangle, along with the monasteries of Poblet (Conca de Barberà) and Santes Creus (Alt Camp).

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.
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.
Amarantine is an album by Irish musician Enya. The album was released on November 22, 2005. It won the Grammy Award for Best New Age Album for 2007. The release date was announced by Roma Ryan on September 23, 2005 at the official Enya forum.[1] It was subsequently leaked to the Internet on November 11, 2005.
Two songs from the album were released as singles: the title track "Amarantine" and "It's in the Rain." "Someone Said Goodbye" was released as a promotional single in the United States as well.

This is one from the archives. My computer is running slow, yoh'. NOT GOOD! I have thousands of pictures on this thing. So I've spent most of my morning cleaning it out, burning pics to cd's, etc. *sigh* I really want to get an external drive that works with my iMac. Time Machine would be wonderful but it's SO expensive. Ah well... in the meantime, I'll just back up onto cd's. Right? Hope everyone's having a lovely Tuesday!

According to many European old maps, the river is named as Menam or Mae Nam, the Thai word for river (Me or Mae is "Mother", Nam is "Water"). The name Chao Phraya is a Thai feudal title, which can be translated as General or Lord. In the English-language media in Thailand the name is often translated as River of Kings.
The cities along the Chao Phraya are Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chainat, Singburi, Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, listed from north to south. These cities are among the most historically significant and densely populated settlements of Thailand precisely because of their access to the waterway.
A big thank you to Mr. Wiki.. :-)
========================
La Chao Praya (thaï แม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา), ou Ménam Chao Phraya, est le plus important fleuve de Thaïlande après le Mékong et la Salween. C'est aussi le seul à couler entièrement dans le pays, dont il constitue encore aujourd'hui l'axe majeur de transport et de commerce. Il se forme au confluent des rivières Ping et Nan et s'écoule vers le sud pendant 372 km, avant de se jeter dans le golfe de Thaïlande. La vallée de la Chao Praya est une grande région productrice de riz.
Le mot Ménam signifie « rivière » en thaï : ce mot est formé de deux éléments : me signifiant « mère » et nam « eau ». Chao Phraya est un terme honorifique thaï, que l'on peut traduire approximativement par « seigneur des eaux ».
Non loin de son embouchure, la Chao Praya traverse Bangkok, où avaient lieu de fameux marchés flottants que l'on ne trouve plus guère qu'en dehors de la ville comme à Damnoen Saduak (80 km de Bangkok).

El interior
Las columnas de la nave central.
Detalle de la bóveda.
Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.
El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.
Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.
The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.
The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).

Angkor è il sito che nel periodo compreso fra il IX ed il XV secolo fu il centro dell'Impero Khmer e ne ospitò le capitali. È situato pochi chilometri a nord della moderna città di Siem Reap, in Cambogia, che si è sviluppata parallelamente all'aumentare del turismo nella zona.
Angkor è stata inclusa fra i Patrimoni dell'umanità dell'UNESCO.
Nella zona sono stati catalogati 72 templi principali ed un migliaio circa di templi secondari, gran parte dei quali in rovina. La maggioranza dei templi più noti e visitati è concentrata in un'area di circa 15 km per 6 km, 5 km a nord di Siem Reap, ma l'area totale definibile come Angkor è molto più vasta: il Parco Archeologico di Angkor si estende attualmente su 400 km² e comprende centinaia di templi e santuari, di cui molti in rovina o sepolti.

Marraquesh Night Market Loreena McKennitt
They're gathered in circles
the lamps light their faces
The crescent moon rocks in the sky
The poets of drumming
keep heartbeats suspended
The smoke swirls up and then dies
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
The stories are woven
and fortunes are told
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
The magic lies scattered
on rugs on the ground
Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
The lessons are written
on parchments of paper
They're carried by horse from the river Nile
says the shadowy voice
In the firelight, the cobra
is casting the flame a winsome smile
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
Loreena writes in the CD booklet about this song:
March 16, 1993 - Arrived tonight in Marrakesh and am staying on the edge of the market. It is Ramadan and there is heightened activity all around. I am struck by the hooded features of men as they pass through the lights and shadows: they look monk-like. Horses, carriages, cars, bicycles and thousands of people are embroiled in the activities of the night ... a cacophony of sound. I retreat to a rooftop café to watch while sipping mint tea ... many circles of twenty or so people are scattered around the market, each involved in their own drama of music, storytelling monkeys on men's shoulders, or cobras being coaxed to "dance" on rugs; "magic" concoctions of bone, seeds, stones and spices are sold ... women are veiled to a great degree ... I am stuck by the sense of intrigue the environment creates; as much is concealed as is revealed ...

Spinning is not my cup of tea. I'm sure to get sick on these types of rides, so I just stick to photographing them.
I stood through 3 rides and took about 40 frames. I caught a few shots with people's flashes going off but thought this one was the best because of the combination of swirling colors.

I was never thinking that the seascape shooting can be so adventurous like this morning. I went with Michael to Shelly Beach-Manly to take some shots but I must have misunderstood his email. Seriously, when he told me that this was going to be an adventure, he was right!!
We decided that instead of walking for half an hour to our destination we would take the shortcut via a steep road down to the cliff in pitch black darkness (5.30 am). Well Michael had a flash light and I forgot mine at home, bottom line – we finally reached our destination with some additional scars, bruises and scratches on my legs and feet. I had slipped a couple of times and fell despite my Spiderman powers and my new wet shoes!!
We met Oat ( Hangingpixels) and few more photographers; good thing is to see how many people enjoy photography, sunrise and seascape shooting.

A rework of one of my favorites. For those who asked "hey, why would you rework this, again?" I'm a perfectionist, and maybe a little neurotic when it comes to my photography. I had a client ask for a print of this image, so I took the opportunity to improve it even further. I was never completely happy with the color and tonality. The client absolutely loved the print of this version, and so do I. The print has a 3D quality that is awesome!
