An experiment in composition/framing .... originally shot for the macro mondays theme of '6' but I decided not to issue it then and plumped for the more conventional 6 marbles (b&w).

Abraham Lake is an artificial lake [...] with a surface area of 53.7 km² (20.7 sq mi) and a length of 32 km (20 mi). [...] It was built on the upper course of the North Saskatchewan River, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies [in western Alberta]. It lines David Thompson Highway between Saskatchewan River Crossing and Nordegg.
Abraham Lake was created in 1972, with the construction of the Bighorn Dam. It was named for Silas Abraham, an inhabitant of the Saskatchewan River valley in the nineteenth century.[1]
Although man-made, the lake has the blue color of other glacial lakes in the Rocky Mountains, which is caused by rock flour as in other glacial lakes.
The Cline River Heliport is located on the western shore of the lake.
Melhor assim.
Hoje foi o último qualificatório, que decide a ordem em que os aviões saem no final, amanhã, às 14h, na Enseada de Botafogo. Diferente da Fórmula 1, quem voa por último leva vantagem pois, além de saber o tempo a bater, conhece melhor as condições do vento e seu efeito sobre os aviões. Na foto, o holandês, Frank Versteegh, da equipe Lobo, sobe no seu Edge 540 antes de entrar num mergulho.
Better like this.
Today was the final qualifying stage, that defines the order in which the planes race tomorrow, at 2pm, in Botafogo Inlet. Different from Formula 1 racing, the plane that flies last has the advantage - as well as knowing the time to beat, they have a better chance to see how the wind affected the other planes. In the photo we see the Dutch pilot Frank Versteegh, of Team Lobo, pulling up his Edge 540 before going into a dive.

Malgré un emploi du temps surchargé, Thierry, Ken, Yoann et moi avons tenté notre chance pour un lever de soleil sur la plage de Montravel. C'était la première fois qu'on y allait de nuit et j'ai trouvé l'endroit plutôt joli même si c'était plutôt difficile de marcher à travers les rochers dans l'obscurité. Plage de Montravel (Rémire-Montjoly), Guyane française.
P.-S. : Je suis actuellement très occupé par divers projets professionnels, ce qui me donne pratiquement pas de temps pour flickr. Désolé, mais je rattraperai le temps perdu bientôt :). J'en profite pour vous souhaitez de passer de bonnes fêtes et une merveilleuse année 2009.

Despite an overloaded schedule, Thierry, Ken, Yoann and I, took our chance on a sunrise at the Montravel beach. This was the first time at night and the place was rather beautiful even if it was difficult to walk on the dark between the stones. Montravel's beach (Rémire-Montjoly, French Guiana).
P.-S.: I am currently very busy with various work projects, which gives me virtually no time for flickr. Sorry for this, but I'll catch-up soon :). I take this opportunity to wish you good holidays and a wonderful 2009.

Amapola - Juan Luis Guerra
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.

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.

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.

Oh no

Oh babe
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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
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

Panoramica de tres tomas horizontales.
Del castillo queda solamente la parte inferior, pero esta se conserva en buen estado.
Ruinas del Castillo de Chinchon. También llamado castillo de los Condes, se encuentra al sur del casco urbano de Chinchón, en la Comunidad de Madrid (España). Es una de las dos fortalezas del municipio, junto con el castillo de Casasola. Construido en el siglo XV, está constituido por dos cuerpos cuadrangulares imbricados, con esquinas rematadas en torres cilíndricas. Todos los muros exteriores del castillo están realizados en mampostería caliza concertada y rellenos por argamasa y piedras, lo que le otorga un aspecto muy homogéneo.
Ha sufrido constantes modificaciones, hasta llegar a una de principios del siglo XX para acondicionarlo como fábrica de anís.

Ruins of Chinchon's Castle. Also so called castle of the Condes, It´s to the south of Chinchón's urban area, in the Community of Madrid (Spain). It is one of two strengths(fortresses) of the municipality, together with Casasola's castle. Constructed in the 15th century, it is constituted by two quadrangular imbricated bodies, with corners finished off in cylindrical towers. All the exterior walls of the castle are realized in limy compound masonry and landfills by mortar and stones, which grants a very homogeneous aspect to his.
It has suffered constant modifications, up to coming to one of beginning of the 20th century to condition it as factory of anise.

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).

I've become scared and awkward in front of the camera all over again.
I don't know what I'm doing half the time.
Maybe it's a good thing.
If you have filled a form for prints within the past two months, I have not received them for my link was not working. If you ordered, please try again, I would love to offer what I can.
prices have been reduced because sales keep us humble.
Hello!!!! How are you all doing?? It has been a very long time, but the return is finally here.
And this is also my return to photography, during the break I didn't do any, you know, just busy with life :) And I also didn't have a camera, I missed making pictures so much!!
Now I have a new camera, but life is still pretty busy, so don't expect much though :)
I promise I will try my best, the motivation has never been this big!!
Oh and btw, this was a real jump :)
I also want to thank everyone for the Flickr mails and comments during the break.
See ya!!

Now that it's Christmas, I will share a special photograph with you.
This is a photo of a bison tromping across the bacterial mat in front of the Grand Prismatic Spring--the largest hot spring in North America, and third largest in the world.
The story goes that I was minding my own business, composing images of the Grand Prismatic, when all the tourists started fussing and massing along the boardwalk above the bacterial mat in front of the hot spring. I didn't pay much attention to them at first, but eventually I had to pull away from the viewfinder to see what the commotion was all about. Wow! A bison was leisurely making his way towards the Grand Prismatic, splash-stomp, splash-stomp, splash-stomp through the pungent water. Me, being totally unprepared for this, swung my tripod around and started tracking him and tripping the shutter.
Shooting through a 2-stop graduated neutral density filter and a polarizer really slowed down my shutter, which explains the subject motion in the leg, tail, and back. Upon closer inspection, it's possible to see the water splashing from his front hoof--very cool!
My favorite areas are the reflection of the bison and the rich hues throughout. I love the layered framing--the cornered sky leading into the hills, which offset the steam rising from the spring; on the bottom the bright oranges are nicely divided by parallel reliefs in the bacterial mat, which have a nice diagonal symmetry with the sky and hill lines. I wish I had time to change to a different lens, or at least remove my filers, but in this unique circumstance, I will take what I can get.
For those wondering where I was, follow this Wikipedia link, and click on the overhead image. In the larger sizes a couple is visible walking along the boardwalk found on the bottom of the image. I was located on the left side of the wider area just above the walkers. The bison was walking from upper-right to lower-left--he never stopped or paid any attention to the legions of onlookers, while he made his way to graze in the Midland Geyser Basin.
S'Archittu è una borgata marinara facente parte del comune di Cuglieri, in provincia di Oristano, confinante con il paese di Torre del pozzo, con il quale chiude a Nord la baia di Is Arenas
La località prende il nome dall'arco di roccia naturale (in sardo appunto s'archìttu) che caratterizza il tratto di costa limitrofa. L'arco è percorribile a piedi grazie ad un sentiero sterrato.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm really lucky to thave gotten this (wasn't not prepared for it) and was so bummed I could not get the whole thing - although I could see the whole double rainbow. I got the tail end of it as it faded about two minutes after this, and I did not have a wide angle with me. I did bring down the exposure level just a bit.
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.

Saskia Laroo on the Pink Trumpet. View On Black
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 on the Saxophone
Some of the shots of that night, in no strict order are here.

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 :)

Listen As I Lay Me Down - Sophie B. Hawkins
Sophie Ballantine Hawkins (born November 1, 1967, in Manhattan, New York City, U.S.) is an American singer, songwriter, musician and painter. Her biggest hits are "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover," "Right Beside You," and "As I Lay Me Down." Her debut album, Tongues and Tails, was released in 1992. It achieved both worldwide commercial success and critical acclaim, earning her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 1993. The single "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles' chart in the USA. Whaler, her second album, was released in 1994. It also contained a Top 10 hit, the song "As I Lay Me Down." A 1998 documentary by Gigi Gaston, entitled The Cream Will Rise, follows her during one of her tours and captures her struggle to deal with past trouble with her family, including her mother and brother. Music and riffs by Hawkins are included throughout the film. Timbre was re-released in 2001 on her own label, Trumpet Swan Productions. It was bundled with a bonus disc containing new songs, demos, remixes, and videos. Her first independently recorded and released album, Wilderness, was released in 2004. In August 2007, Hawkins headlined the first Los Angeles Women's Music Festival in support of the festival's dual agenda of supporting animal rescue groups and promoting and supporting female musicians. Hawkins is a vegan and a long-time supporter of animal rights. In February 2008, Hawkins re-recorded her hit "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" as Damn We Wish You Were President in support of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Hawkins wrote, "Hillary Clinton's achievements come from her heart. She has initiated so much positive change for families, children, victims of crime and the environment in her struggle for the forward movement of America and the working people of this nation"
La Costa Brava, el agreste litoral de la provincia de Girona, cuenta con una villa medieval a pocos kilómetros de su perfil marítimo. Su centro histórico se levanta sobre una colina rodeada de llanuras, que en su origen fue zona pantanosa. Hay que remontarse al siglo IX para encontrar los primeros documentos escritos que hablan de esta población, época a la que pertenece su castillo. Continuos enfrentamientos bélicos hicieron que durante siglos sólo se conservase la Torre del Homenaje de esta construcción defensiva. Se trata de una torre románica de planta circular levantada entre los siglos XI y XIII. Sus 15 metros de altura se asientan sobre una plataforma de roca natural, en la que también se encuentran numerosas tumbas visigóticas. Durante el siglo XV fue empleada como campanario, por lo que se la conoce como la Torre de las Horas. En la actualidad, el solar del castillo lo ocupa la casa de la familia Pi i Figueras, promotor de la restauración del Recinto Gótico de Pals. De factura moderna, esta casa mantiene los mismos rasgos arquitectónicos que el resto de la urbe. Calles empedradas interrumpidas por arcos de medio punto, fachadas con ventanas ojivales y balcones de piedra son los signos distintivos de Pals. La muralla es otro de los lugares que transportan al viajero a la Edad Media. Cuatro torres de planta cuadrada se mantienen aún en pie, a pesar de que datan del siglo XII. Torres con nombre propio como Ramonet, Rom, Xinel·lo y Hospital. Otros puntos de interés son el mirador Josep Pla, la Plaza Mayor, las sepulturas de la calle Mayor y la iglesia de Sant Pere. El escritor palafrugellense da nombre a una de las atalayas naturales, desde donde se divisan los campos del Ampurdán y las islas Medes. Arcos góticos y sepulturas medievales son los otros hitos que encontramos en el camino. Parte de los sillares de piedra del castillo fueron empleados en el siglo X para edificar la iglesia de Sant Pere. En su estructura final se distinguen la base románica, el ábside y nave gótica, y el pórtico y campanario barrocos. La mejor manera de recorrer Pals es perderse por su calles medievales, pero antes de esto merece la pena acercarse a una casa fortificada del siglo XV, sede del Museo de Arqueología Submarina. Entre otras curiosidades, podemos conocer la historia de los vinos y cavas de Cataluña, gracias la exposición permanente que exhibe. A las afueras de la villa se extiende otra parte del municipio de Pals, los Masos de Pals, antiguo conjunto de masías (casas de campo catalanas) que actualmente acogen a un nutrido núcleo urbano. Y en la costa, la playa de Pals. Más de cuatro kilómetros de aguas transparentes donde el viajero podrá disfrutar del benigno clima mediterráneo y de todas las oportunidades de ocio que la Costa Brava ofrece. Campos de golf, deportes náuticos y visitas al Parque Natural Illes Medes son sólo algunas de ellas. Pals también se convierte en una excelente oportunidad para acercarnos a la gastronomía del Baix Ampordà, que aúna productos del mar y la tierra. Las habas y los guisantes de la huerta aparecen junto a esqueixadas (ensalada de bacalao), escalivadas (asado de berenjena, cebolla y pimientos) o guisos de pollo o conejo con marisco. Por su parte, gambas, lubinas y doradas se preparan de multitud de maneras. Entre los postres, las frutas tienen una gran importancia (fresas, melocotones, melones, sandías, naranjas...), y se convierten en verano en helados y sorbetes.
