«Zumaia es como un lugar religioso para los geólogos». Esta frase la pronunció Bruce Runnegar, director de Astrobiología de la NASA, tras su visita a los acantilados situados entre Zumaia y Deba.
Con esta definición el experto norteamericano no hacía más que corroborar un hecho conocido por la comunidad científica internacional. La rasa mareal, el flysch situado en este tramo de ocho kilómetros de la costa guipuzcoana presenta un extraordinario interés geológico.
El afloramiento de los estratos permite leer en ellos 50 millones de años de la tierra. Allí están registrados todos los cambios climáticos, geológicos y biológicos producidos en ese enorme lapso de tiempo.
“I am no blank slate for love to write on.
My heart has walls marred with cracks,
bloodstains, and bullet holes;
graffitied over by past lovers.”

sometimes i feel like that...
static in the same place, looking at the same things, trying to see the unseen...

Well, it's the beginning of a new year, and many people make resolutions. I never do. Why make promises to yourself that you most likely won't keep? Instead, if we could just live one day at a time, and find something to be thankful for each day, there would be fewer regrets.
2020 was such a difficult year for the whole world, and just because it's now 2021, doesn't mean there's a magic pill and suddenly everything's changed. It will take time for the vaccine to get to everyone, and in my opinion, life has changed forever. But there is always hope. And hopefully we have learned from it. I am so thankful for all of my friends that I've made here on Flickr - you have changed my life. And I look forward to seeing your images this year and chatting with many of you.
I haven't been on here much lately, and I have missed you guys. I hope that will change this year.
Lagoa Rasa is one of 7 volcanic lakes found in the highlands on the Island Of Flores in the Azores. The lakes are the result of activity in one of 3 major volcanic centers. Lagoa Rasa (Shallow Lagoon) is located in the southern most volcanic center near Lagoa Funda (Deep Lagoon). The later lake sits at an elevation of 500 meters above sea level while Lagoa Rasa sits next to it but some 150 meters higher in elevation. Lagoa Raza formed in the last stage of volcanic activity in the Lagoa Funda Volcanic Center around 3254 years before present. Geologically Lagoa Raza is a maar. These geological features are low-relief, broad volcanic craters formed during shallow explosive eruptions. These explosions are usually caused by the heating and boiling of groundwater when magma invades the groundwater table. When both magma and water are involved, volcanologists refer to the explosions as Phreatomagmatic eruptions. The low cone around the crater is formed of ash and rock particles ejected during the explosions. The resultant rock is often referred to as a pyroclastic rock. The volcanic ash is called tuff and, here because of the size of the ash particles in this cone, it is referred to as lapilli tuff. As often happens with maars, the ones on Flores are often filled with lakes. A scoria cone (cinder cone) rises in the background.

En las profundidades de la Vall d'Ora, en la comarca leridana del Solsonés, y por terreno bastante agreste y vírgen, se esconde este pequeño barranco repleto de sedimentos calcáreos y bonitas pozas con cristalinas aguas de color esmeralda. Más que en el Prepirineo, uno siente por algunos momentos haberse teletransportado a las selvas de Costa Rica.

I believe the term leviathan means a sea monster. Well this huge Malaysian Water Monitor wasn’t in the sea but a lake in the grounds of our hotel in Northern Borneo. Wiki says that these lizards can in extreme cases grow to over nine feet in length but typically weigh in at three stone. In that case this must have been a really big example. It might not have quite been nine feet but it looked way larger than three stone. Maybe the hotel offers rich pickings for these scavengers. I really should have included something that showed its scale.

Es increíble ver y estar sobre estas placas, con las olas rompiendo sobre ellas, algo único, fantástico.
por vezes, o que reflete supera o refletido!

La posizione strategica di questa città ne hanno fatto già nel XIII secolo un importante porto militare .
La profonda rada ,un mare interno protetto da una stretta imboccatura fra alte falesie : questi gli ingredienti per il suo successo . Nel XVI secolo divenne la capitale marittima della Francia.
Già sull'Oceano quindi particolarmente favorita ai tempi delle grandi spedizioni e non lontano da Parigi .
Nel 1944 la città fu rasa al suolo dalle truppe alleate ,perché caduta in mano Tedesca .
Oggi si presenta come una città moderna ,di essa presento una torre antica e il ponte de la Recouvrance ( 1054 ) ,che scavalca il fiume Pontfeld con una campata metallica di 87 m. che in circa 2 minuti può essere alzata per consentire il passaggio di navi .

The strategic location of this city have made already in the thirteenth century an important military port .The deep bay ,an inland sea protected by a narrow approach between high cliffs : these are the ingredients for its success . In the sixteenth century it became the maritime capital of France ,already the Ocean and therefore particularly favored at the time of the big expedition ,was not far from Paris .
In 1944 it was razed by allied troops because the fall in the hands of German Troops.
Today is a modern city .I present a composition of an ancient tower and the Pont de la Recouvrance (1954 ) ,which spans the river with a metal Pontfeld span of 87 meters ,that in about 2 minutes can be raised to allow the passage of ships .
The North America Nebula, NGC 7000, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Above is the Pelican Nebula (enlarged on the 2nd image). Together the area of this nebula reaches 5 full moons across and can be seen with the unaided eye in a dark sky location.
This target was shot with using a high speed, wide field 400mm telescope coupled with a 26 Megapixel cooled camera from my light polluted backyard.

"semua orang, kisah cinta dia Allah cipta lain-lain"
"kita just perlu buat bahagian kita je, usaha dan tawakal.. bahagian-bahagian pasal kehidupan hari esok, bakal suami akan jaga dengan baik ke tak, tu semua bahagian yang Allah jaga.."
"kalau kita asyik fikir benda-benda yang tak patut fikir, yang kita tak boleh nak kawal, kita takkan nikmati/syukuri apa yang kita ada sekarang.."

PENGUMUMAN PENTING: gambar cun di atas adalah hasil tangkapan encik alif. daku hanya mencuri gambarnya dan edit sesuka hati. Suka sangat dgn gambar ni =D Lagipun folder pictures ku yang berisi jutaan harta karun gambar2 hasil tangkapan ku selama ini sudah permenantly deleted secara eksiden. Mata dah bengkak-bengkak menangis tak berlagu. Sedihnya hanya Tuhan yg tahu. Maka, mengedit gambar di atas pengukir senyumanku =) Dan esok ada kelassss!! MalazzzzZZzZZZz..
I will fight the system, break it down and redesign it
I don't want anything the way it's created by them
Where is my right to choose, if all the options are theirs?
We can be the system, it will turn and try to own us
We can have everything, if we will change into them
Now it's our time to choose, which of the options are theirs.

This was data I had from 2022 when I used my 8" RASA to collect photons at f/2.0. Whilst I enjoyed shooting at fast focal lengths it introduced a lot of other related problems. Some can be seen in this image.
