Breathtaking view from the hill Gianicolo (see my previous pic) onto Rome during the golden hour.

 

The church in the center is the Sant'Agnese in Agone, a seventeenth century Baroque church right next to the Piazza Navona.

 

Rome is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated city and comune, with over 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi). The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber River within the Lazio region of Italy.

 

Rome's history spans two and a half thousand years. It was the capital city of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which was the dominant power in Western Europe and the lands bordering the Mediterranean for over seven hundred years from the 1st century BC until the 7th century AD. Since the 1st century AD Rome has been the seat of the Papacy and, after the end of Byzantine domination, in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. In 1871 Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and in 1946 that of the Italian Republic.

 

After the Middle Ages, Rome was ruled by popes such as Alexander VI and Leo X, who transformed the city into one of the major centers of the Italian Renaissance, along with Florence. The current version of St Peter's Basilica was built and the Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo. Famous artists and architects, such as Bramante, Bernini and Raphael resided for some time in Rome, contributing to its Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

 

Rome has been ranked by GaWC in 2010 as a beta+ world city, as well as the 28th most important global city. In 2007, Rome was the 11th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. The city is one of Europe's and the world's most successful city "brands", both in terms of reputation and assets. Its historic centre is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Monuments and museums such as the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum are amongst the world's 50 most visited tourist destinations (the Vatican Museums receiving 4.2 million tourists and the Colosseum receiving 4 million tourists every year). Rome hosted the 1960 Summer Olympics and is currently bidding to host the 2020 Summer Olympics.

 

Rome is in the Lazio region of central Italy on the Tiber river (Italian: Tevere). The original settlement developed on hills that faced onto a ford beside the Tiber island, the only natural ford of the river in this area. The Rome of the Kings was built on seven hills: the Aventine Hill, the Caelian Hill, the Capitoline Hill, the Esquiline Hill, the Palatine Hill, the Quirinal Hill, and the Viminal Hill. Modern Rome is also crossed by another river the Aniene which joins the Tiber north of the historic centre.

 

The Commune of Rome, however, covers considerably more territory and extends to the sea at Ostia, the largest town in Italy that is not a commune in its own right. The Commune covers an area roughly three times the total area within the Raccordo and is comparable in area to the entire provinces of Milan and Naples, and to an area six times the size of the territory of these cities. It also includes considerable areas of abandoned marsh land which is suitable neither for agriculture nor for urban development.

 

Rome enjoys a Mediterranean climate, typical of the Mediterranean coasts of Italy. Spring and autumn are mild to warm, and the Romans ottobrate ("beautiful October days") are known as being sunny and warm. By August, the maximum diurnal temperature often exceeds 30 °C (86 °F). Traditionally, many businesses were accustomed to closing during August, while Romans visited holiday resorts. In more recent years, however, in response to growing tourism and changing work habits, the city has been staying open for the whole summer. The average high temperature in January is about 12.9 °C (55.2 °F), but in hot periods it can be higher, while subzero lows are not uncommon. Snowfalls can occur in December, January and February. Within the last four decades they have been rare in Rome: the most recent snowfall with accumulation was in February 2010, the first since 1986 (in some peripheral areas since 1991); between 1986 and 2010 snow fell four times, without significant traces on the ground.

I must be having a mono moment; 3 in a week! I’ve been meaning to convert this image into B&W for a while but only got round to doing it last night. Although I like the colours in the sea in the original version (www.flickr.com/photos/graemekelly/9756098222/) I think I prefer this conversion more; it gives a much better representation of the power of the sea. I took this shot looking down over the sea stacks at Reynsidrangar as the rain clouds parted briefly, letting a faint light spill in from the top right. The cliffs offered a different perspective on these well photographed stacks and are usually a good place to spot puffins, but I didn’t spot any!

  

I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to convert the image and used a fairly strong red filter to deepen the darks in the sea, this had a pronounced effect due to the blue colour cast my 10 stop gave.

  

Like the image? Press ‘L’ to see it large and ‘F’ to add it as a favourite, and feel free to leave a comment; it’s always nice to hear what you think.

  

Thanks for looking

ENGLISH:

 

Important:

-> My photos are copyright protected.

-> I find it very negative when I find my photos in Youtube or other social media channels, because maybe I would have nothing to do with this music, the text or the channel.

-> Who does not ask who does not win.

-> If you want to use my photo, write me an email. And then we clarify the usage rights and whether I would like at all that you use my photo / my photos.

-> If I find photos in, for example, Youtube, I try to get in contact with you first, if this should be unsuccessful, then I must report you.

And Youtube could delete your Youtube channel. Do you want it?

-> I find it sad, if one does not ask before, whether one may use it.

And it is not enough to give my name. See points one and two.

-> It is nice, that you like my photo so much, but you used it in bad quality. That does not give me much.

 

So think about what you're doing. Did not injure my rights.

Just ask me. Something worse than a NO can not come.

 

GERMAN:

 

Wichtig:

-> Meine Fotos sind Urheberrechtlich geschützt.

->Ich finde es sehr negativ, wenn ich meine Fotos in Youtube oder anderen Social Media Kanälen finde, denn vllt möchte ich gar nichts mit dieser Musik, dem Text oder dem Channel zu tun haben.

-> Wer nicht fragt, der nicht gewinnt.

-> Wenn du mein Foto verwenden möchtest, dann schreibe mir eine Mail. Und wir klären dann die Nutzungsrechte und ob ich das überhaupt möchte, dass du mein Foto/ meine Fotos verwendest.

-> Wenn ich Fotos in zum Beispiel in Youtube finde, versuche ich erst mit dir in Kontakt zu treten, sollte das erfolglos bleiben, dann muss ich dich melden.

Und Youtube könnte deinen Youtube-Channel löschen. Willst du das?

->Ich finde es traurig, wenn man nicht vorher fragt, ob man es verwenden darf.

Und da reicht es auch nicht aus, wenn man meinen Namen angibt. Siehe Punkt eins und zwei.

-> Es ist schön, das dir mein Foto so gut gefällt, aber du hast es in schlechter Qualität benutzt. Das bringt mir nicht viel.

 

Darum denke drüber nach, was du tust. Verletzte bitte nicht meine Rechte.

Frage mich einfach. Etwas schlimmeres als ein NEIN kann nicht kommen.

This picture is #11 in Round Two of my 100 Strangers project.

Vietnam has a wide variety of ethnic minority groups, the largest of which is the Tay people. During a recent holiday to the northern part of the country, I had the unique experience of attending a local Tay funeral in the mountain village of Trung.

 

As we arrived at the village for a guided walk, our tour guide, Ha, became quite animated. He explained that just to the side of the road a funeral was taking place. We were strongly encouraged to bring our cameras, take a closer look and even join the gathering.

 

Personally, I was quite apprehensive about intruding on what is commonly viewed as a deeply emotional and personal ceremony in Western cultures. However, Ha insisted that everything would be okay and he even seemed intrigued by the local Tay customs which he had not witnessed before.

 

The group was very welcoming to my parents, girlfriend and me. They made room for us to join them at a communal table, shared tea with us and even made friendly jokes (translated for us by Ha). We learned that the deceased was a young man in his 30’s and had only passed away that morning. Everyone in the village would eventually attend to pay their respects and contribute to the gathering.

 

Relatives of the deceased were easily identified by the white cloth wrapped around their heads. There was also a small shrine nearby where offerings were being made and prayers were being said.

 

Ha encouraged us to take photographs and after he had provided a great deal of reassurance, I still requested that he explicitly ask if I could take some individual portraits. My stranger readily agreed to a portrait and was one of two relatives of the deceased. He joined the larger group after paying his respects at the shrine and was understandably melancholy and more reserved than the rest of the group; the expression in his eyes really drew me in.

 

Having really pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone, I could not bring myself ask too much of my subject. Therefore, I made do with the lighting and background that was available. As a result, I’ve taken a very different approach for post-processing which is a whole new area of exploration for me.

 

While I have no problems interrupting people at work or while they are eating to ask for a portrait, it was very challenging to overcome my fear of insulting the bereaved. Many thanks to Ha for translating and encouraging me to take pictures in the first place, as it turns out everyone was very accomodating.

 

Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated!

The forecast for dawn was a heavy frost and so we headed to Alnwick Castle which sits above the River Aln and dates from the 11th century. The Castle has been used in many films famously taking the starring role of Hogwarts in the first two Harry Potter films. The first composition is just after the sun had climbed above the horizon and spread warming light across the castle. A slightly wider angle allowed me to include the frosted bank in the foreground.
