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
Some Hearts (Carrie Underwood)

+1 in comments! Shooting these was so fun. people kept driving by and most didn't look except for this one guy that i saw, he stared at me!
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.

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.

I been tagged by Irena and Emily. I have to answer the following 5 questions regarding photography and tag another 10 contacts.
1. What I like to photograph the most:
Whatever I see through my viewfinder… but seriously, I really don’t know, I’m still trying to find that niche which appeals to me.
2. What I like to photograph the least:
You know when someone says, can you take a picture of us… Any time a sentence starts off that way, I just don’t like to do it because it’s not composed…
I also don’t like to take a picture of a picture (e.g. artwork in a museum) unless I use it selectively with depth.
3. Photography Pet Peeves:
When people take images with tripods that could otherwise be done handheld (and I know they’re not stopped down or taking HDR images too)…
Speaking of which, anyone want to buy my tripod ;-)
4. What I admire from other photographers:
Everything they can do that I can’t!
But I admire and value their sincerity, their willingness to share and not be snobby.
5. What I'd like to learn better:
I don’t own a strobe so the first item on my list is lighting!
Also: fashion photography, creative manipulation, portraits… basically everything you don’t see on my stream.
I tag whoever wants to do this under my comments ;-)
- I recently entered a print of this image and "Honorable Mention 2" just next to this one in a local photo club exhibit & competition. I was tickled and surprised when I found out late last week that they had both gotten an honorable mention. It was a small exhibit, but my first so I thought getting an HM was pretty cool.
I have to say too that this is one of the first decent sized prints (11"X17") I'd ever had made of one of my pics and my WHAT A DIFFERENCE it makes when you can hold the image in your hands!
Yes... I posted this image some time ago in a slightly different crop... I thought the occasion of my first competition warrented a little celebration via a re-post.
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

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.

View On Black (Best with 20" monitor or bigger) San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers is a large botanical greenhouse in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, constructed in 1878. It houses an important collection of exotic plants. It is the oldest building in Golden Gate Park and the oldest municipal wooden conservatory remaining in the United States. It is also one of the first municipal conservatories constructed in the country. For these distinctions and for its associated historical, architectural, and engineering merits, the Conservatory of Flowers is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Here is another photo of the Conservatory: www.flickr.com/photos/michelk/2579638366/ For more info, visit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatory_of_Flowers

Mientras buscamos la oficina de turismo, para conseguir algún folleto sobre la ciudad y las cosas que se podían ver, hasta hora seguíamos mis ligeros recuerdo de cuando estuve en el 1994, mientras mi novia compraba algún recuerdo yo me limitaba a contemplar el panorama, y justo que pasamos por una terraza vi este momento de indecisión por parte de esta persona.

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 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.

Mythology says that roses grew thorns when Cupid accidentally shot an arrow into a rose garden.
I finally found a way to get the adapter to work, so I took advantage of it. Fyi, I never ever use flash. So this was a kind-of-sort-of first.
P.S. I have an idea for X, considering I'm re-doing it. I will try to get the picture done tomororow. :D

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 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.

Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
Oh no

The first news of which has its existence dates back to 978. Around the church of Sant Marti, as documented by the year 1088 began to wake up the first houses in this picturesque town that even today retains all its medieval charm.
Historically, work in the field was the main dedication of its people; particular importance was conreo of grapes, from the eighteenth century shifted more traditional forms of agriculture. This was a particularly arduous task given the characteristics of the mountainous terrain, settled in part by building jars at the foot of vineyards, which were used for the storage of must and grapes. Already into the nineteenth century, the phylloxera conditioned conreo and resulted in a significant decline in population. Another important task, until mid-twentieth century, was the development of charcoal, until such time as the electricity found their disappearance. Since then, its people were devoted to another kind of work in line with the changing times. It set up a textile factory in the early twentieth century, which was in operation until the year 1964. Logically, closing it was important socio-economic consequences on the lives of the people, determining the migration of population towards the industrial cities or to neighboring towns. Since then, the physiognomy of Mura se ha ido transforming into a large number of people with second homes, laying the groundwork for a tradition tourist potential. Precisely for the new work and revenue earned from tourism, was very relevant to the creation of the Natural Park Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, in 1972. Since then increased the number of tourists and visitors. Nobody is aware that, as in many other municipalities of Catalunya, tourism could ensure the future of the people so that asentare solidly its core population.

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.
