The Monastery of Sant Benet de Bagés is a former Benedictine monastery, in the Catalan comarca of Bages. The Romanesque monastery was thoroughly restored at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
The monastery was founded about 950 by the noble Salla and his consort Ricarda, of the house of the viscounts of Osona . According to the founding legend, Salla traveled to Rome to have his institution authorized, and to have it depend directly on the Holy See, the usual method for preserving the community from interference from the bishop of Vic, in whose diocese it lay. The abbey church was consecrated 3 December 972, witnessed by a gathering of notables: Borrell II, Count of Barcelona, the bishops Frugifer of Vic, Guisad of Urgell and Pere of Barcelona, the viscount Guadald of Osona, and three of the four offspring of the recently deceased founder, his son Isarn and the sisters Quíxol and Ego, at the head of witnesses both laymen and priests, in a grand ceremonial recorded in the surviving act of consecration.
The community was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and to Benedict of Nursia (Sant Benét in Catalan) founder of the order, and Peter and Andrew, all guarantors of its future orthodoxy. The founder secured dispensations that the future abbots would be chosen from among their descendents, making the abbey a form of proprietary church, an agreement that would soon lead to disputes among the various branches of their lineage as to choice of abbots.
From 965, the abbey church held the supposed relics of Saint Valentine, enclosed in a wooden reliquary with plates of silver depicting miraclesa of Saint Valentine, rediscovered in 1863 in the church of Navarcles.At the beginning of the eleventh century the monastery passed under the direction of the Abbey of Saint Peter of Tomeras at Narbonne, from which the community freed itself in 1108. In 1125 Sant Benet de Bagés suffered from an attack by Moors that required a rebuilding, financed by local nobles who required in return the right to be buried in its consecrated ground.
The most splendid age of Sant Benet de Bagés was in the fourteenth century. The Black Death left the community with only two survivors, in a period that witnessed the beginning of its decline. On 9 November 1593, by order of Pope Clement VIII the community passed under the direction of the Abbey of Montserrat, and remained so until it was suppressed in 1820, serving as a place of retirement for Montserrat's community of monks. By the "law of desamortización" of 1835, all religious orders in Spain were required to render upo their possessions.The crumbling ancient structure attracted the interest of intellectuals who organised visits to it in the late nineteenth century. The architect Puig i Cadafalch and the painter Ramon Casas encouraged the mother of Casas to buy the property in 1907; in 1910 it passed into the hands of Casas, who commissioned Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. Since 2000, when it was purchased from Casas' heirs it has belonged to the Caixa de Manresa, a financial institution that has undertaken its maintenance.

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!

View of the amazing cliffs in Portugal - here I was standing on the edge of the rocks with a fisherman holding me while I took the shots (not very safe place to go) ...the power of the Atlantic is quite wild, this luckily for me was a quiet day.
Enjoy the view and the weekend.

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

Sat waiting for the tide to drop to get on the beach would have been rude not to grab a few shots :-)
La cabaña de vuelta es un pequeño y sencillo habitáculo muy típico de las comarcas interiores, desde la Noguera hasta la Terra Alta, sin descartar su presencia en otros lugares de la geografía catalana, al igual que tipologías diversas de barracas de viña, por ejemplo, también se pueden dar en estos lugares. En cuanto a la cronología parece que la verdadera expansión de estas construcciones se da entre mediados del siglo XVIII y mediados del siglo XX, con una etapa de mucha mayor incidencia constructiva entre la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y primer cuarto del XX, vinculado al aumento de la superficie cultivada, por venta o cesión de las tierras improductivas de los señores, de la conversión de los bosques comunales o por la privatización de extensiones de terreno considerables tras la desamortización.
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. "
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.

Wow. This is a pretty boring shot for my 100th in my 365. Oh well. I wasn't thinking about it all today when I took it. I drove into the little town near our lake house and when I pulled into a parking lot to turn around, I found myself staring right at this beautiful old building. I couldn't help but take a picture. I'm actually pretty happy with how this turned out, despite its lack in celebratory subject matter for my 100th day.

It is real. Extreme telephoto combined with software emulation of T/S lens.
As usual, all my software has the background set to pure black. Try it.
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.

I was feeling really down last night, as well as this morning right from when I woke up. Things have been really tough over the past year. I was turning the possibility of sharing this with you over in my mind, over, and over, and over... I was not sure whether I had the confidence, and whether it would make any difference.
I've concluded that it does. If I don't address pain, either artistically or verbally, then nothing will change. It is at least worth a try. I think Brad said it best: Flickr is cheap ass therapy.
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease right before his 60th birthday, which was this past December. He is already in stage three of seven -- very unusual for someone so young. In addition to the fact that it's a fatal disease, he will soon become someone entirely different, with not a clue who I am, or who he is, who he was, who he will be. I can see changes as the months go by, some months more than others. He was a political science professor at Columbia for most of his career, then was a dean, chief financial officer and provost there as well. His life has been built on his extraordinary intellect -- one that moved me to academia, helped incite my passion for philosophy and dreams of becoming a professor. Now he is on disability and finds himself lonely and listless most days, while everyone else is working and busy. He is rediscovering himself, and the talented parts of him that were latent all these years, but it doesn't take away from the struggle on a day-to-day basis. He has always been humble, frank, moderate, and inward, but he has shed some of his hurtful tendencies -- he is less analytic, more feeling and embracing of everything around him. All too many had accused him, say ten years ago, of being withholding and emotionally unavailable, to his wife (my stepmother) and me and my sister. He is so different now. It is, I supposed, something of a Catch-22: my father has metamorphosed into one of the most beautiful souls I've ever known, but this is all too fleeting.
But perhaps it is this transience that gives it such sweetness and value.
Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea!
Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Blow him again to me;
While my little one, my pretty one, sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west
Under the silver moon:
Sleep, my little one, sleep, my pretty one, sleep.
-- Tennyson
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.

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).

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).

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 ...

Listen Libera Me Domine - Pergolesi
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).

"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here..."

according to the encyclopedia:
-the production of permanent images on surfaces coated with light-sensitive chemicals.
so this is actually an encyclopedia from the early 1950's.
my mom got these from waaaay long ago so i have no idea where she got them from.
but here's to re-discovering more vintage things in my house that i never cared to look at.
kind of appreciating that i have these books too.
These cameras on the right side of the page according the encyclopedia, were 'a selection of cameras in everday use'. and to them those were modern. i just find that interesting haha.
La Universidad construida en tiempos de Felipe V, según el decreto de 1717 para ser durante más de cien años el único centro de estudios superiores de toda Cataluña. Se trata de un edificio de estructura neoclásica, y a la barroca en multitud de los elementos decorativos, como la fachada exterior y el retablo del Paraninfo obra de Jaume Padró. La Universidad de Cervera es un ejemplo paradigmático de la arquitectura civil y militar del siglo XVIII en Cataluña. Es un edificio majestuoso de grandes proporciones y de líneas clasicistas, e insólito si se compara con el resto de obras de la época en el país.

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.

And never got to thank every single one of you.
I mean it when I say I cannot put into words how many good people I have met through this site, how much I have learned, and how much I have taken out of this.
You all, every single one of you, do have such a place in my heart.
I can't imagine my life if I have never started putting my work on here.
That may sound odd, but I can't imagine it.
AND IF YOU ARE OUT THERE
I think I ran into someone who knows me from this site today.
I was crossing the cross walk here at school and I passed you, whoever you are, brown haired girl carrying a camera?
I think you must have recognized me or something because of the way you were watching me....so if you read this, hello, and I am really praying I smiled at you as I passed. I know I was on the phone.

Accompanying music: "Little Wing" - Jimi Hendrix (either the original, or any of the covers done by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Derek & The Dominoes)
I am obviously very interested in props nowadays.
I love my eyes and lips here. My hair could use a brushing.
Secret #8: Ok, this is pretty morbid. When I was three or four, I had a bunch of goldfish. Well, I had ONE goldfish named Swimmy, and he was a cannibal who ate and killed all of his tank mates. We'd keep replacing them and replacing them, and no matter what, Swimmy ended up alone (though sated) in the tank. Anyway, one day I was pissed at Swimmy and wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. Either that, and I had a really advanced psychology at an early age, or, more likely, I was masochistic. I took Swimmy out of the tank in the little net thing and held him in the air laughing until my aupair came in and made me stop.
I was a devil child. Now I'm an angel :)
*Explored: Reached #74 Yay! I care because this is my favorite SP I've taken yet...!

La Fuente Mágica de Montjuic
La inauguración de la fuente mágica de Montjuic tuvo lugar el 19 de mayo de 1929, durante la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona. El diseñador Carles Buigas envió los planos un año antes de la exposición y muchos pensaron que el proyecto era demasiado ambicioso para ser creado y muchos menos creían que fuera a finalizarse para la fecha en que comenzaba la Exposición.
Más de 3000 trabajadores estuvieron a cargo del proyecto y, tras menos de 1 año, la fuente mágica estaba terminada.
La fuente mágica es una espectacular exhibición de color, luz, movimiento, música y acrobacias acuáticas. Si mezclas todos estos elementos y los combinas correctamente ¡obtienes magia pura! La fuente mágica es un espectáculo “obligado” y altamente recomendado si vienes a Barcelona.
Magic Fountain of Montjuic
The inauguration of Magic Fountain of Montjuic took place on May 19, 1929, during the International Exhibition of Barcelona. The designer Carles Buigas sent the planes a year before the exhibition and many thought that the project was too ambitious to be created and far fewer thought they were finished for the day on which the exhibition began.
More than 3000 workers were in charge of the project and, after less than 1 year, the source Magic finished.
The magic source is a spectacular display of color, light, movement, music and acrobatics waterfowl. Combining all these elements and combines them correctly you get pure magic! The source is a magic show "obligatory" and highly recommended if you come to Barcelona.
Contrariamente alle apparenze NON è una spiaggia tropicale!
Qui siamo a casa, nella spiaggia di Piscinas (costa occidentale della Sardegna) circondata dalle dune tra le più alte d'Europa.
Situata in una zona isolata e di grande bellezza naturalistica, la spiaggia di Piscinas, lungo l'arenile della Costa Verde, è circondata per qualche chilometro da dune altissime ancora vive e modellate dal maestrale, il cui colore giallo ocra è interrotto, a tratti, da cespugli pungenti, dalla carota spinosa, dal giglio di mare e, verso l'interno, da ginepri e vecchi olivastri che diventano dei piccoli boschetti.

God really wants you to pick the right road - the road that lines up with His great plans for you. And He can see what's on all the roads out there. He can see which one is best, and He wants to let you know. Our word for today from the Word of God, Isaiah 48:17, "This is what the Lord says - your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 'I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.'" Man, what a promise!
Remember, the real issue here is getting closer to your Heavenly Father. He uses our "which way?" struggles to draw us into a deeper dependency on Him. Showing us the plan is the easy part; getting us to trust Him is the hard part.
As you look ahead to your journey, make sure you are tuned to the frequency where the guidance is, to your Father in heaven who sees it all and has all the inside information on the road ahead.
