"I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy, you're so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They all think I have it all.
I'm nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you."

Watercolour on 140 lb. Arches cold press.
This is a quick floral watercolour using a combination of both positive and negative painting. I needed a wee break from the quick wet in wet landscapes, and these iris caught my fancy while leafing through my floral reference photos.
locked inside, without a voice.
Dark and dying passion lies crumpled in agony, lies smothered in darkness, because of lies.Let the monster have it's way till passion reigns again, on high, in light, far, far, away from the closet.

We had another wet night and day in London, it just didnt stop! i just managed to take a couple of reflection shots in London at night in Covent Garden ;-)
=======================================================================
Covent Garden (pronounced /ˈkɒvənt/) is a district in London, England, located in the easternmost parts of the City of Westminster and the southwestern corner of the London Borough of Camden. The area is dominated by shopping, street performers, and entertainment facilities, and it contains an entrance to the Royal Opera House, which is also widely-known simply as "Covent Garden", and the bustling Seven Dials area.
The area is bounded by High Holborn to the north, Kingsway to the east, the Strand to the south and Charing Cross Road to the west. Covent Garden Piazza is located in the geographical centre of the area and was the site of a flower, fruit and vegetable market from the 1500s until 1974, when the wholesale market relocated to New Covent Garden Market in Nine Elms. Nearby areas include Soho, St James's, Bloomsbury, and Holborn
In 1913, responding to political feeling against large holdings of real property, and wishing to diversify his investment portfolio into less politically sensitive fields, the Duke of Bedford agreed to sell the Covent Garden Estate to the MP and land speculator Harry Mallaby-Deeley for £2 million. The following year Mallaby-Deeley sold his option to buy to the pill manufacturer Sir Joseph Beecham for £250,000. After delays caused by the First World War and the death of Sir Joseph, the sale was finalised in 1918, the purchasers being Sir Joseph's two sons, Sir Thomas and Henry. The transaction included the market, 231 other properties, and sundry other rights. The property was part of Beecham Estates and Pills Limited from 1924 to 1928 and from 1928 it was owned by a successor company called Covent Garden Properties Company Limited, owned by the Beechams and other private investors. This new company sold some properties at Covent Garden, while becoming active in property investment in other parts of London. In 1962 the bulk of the remaining properties in the Covent Garden area, including the market, were sold to the newly established government-owned Covent Garden Authority for £3,925,000.[3]
By the end of the 1960s, traffic congestion in the surrounding area had reached such a level that the use of the square as a market, which required increasingly large lorries for deliveries and distribution, was becoming unsustainable. The whole area was threatened with complete redevelopment. Following a public outcry, in 1973 the Home Secretary, Robert Carr, gave dozens of buildings around the square listed building status, preventing redevelopment. The following year the market finally moved to a new site (called the New Covent Garden Market) about three miles (5 km) south-west at Nine Elms. The square languished until its central building re-opened as a shopping centre and tourist attraction in 1980. Today the shops largely sell novelty items, though street performers can be seen almost every day of the year, both on the pitches within the market, and on the West and East Piazza's/James Street outside. More serious shoppers gravitate to Long Acre, which has a range of clothes shops and boutiques, and Neal Street, noted for its large number of shoe shops. London's Transport Museum and the side entrance to the Royal Opera House box office and other facilities are also located on the Piazza.
In August 2007, Covent Garden launched the UK's first food Night Market. Fresh produce from over 35 different stalls included Neal's Yard's specialist cheeses, Spore Boys' mushroom sandwiches, Gourmet Candy Company, Ginger Pig sausages and Burnt Sugar fudge. The aim of the Night Market was to bring Covent Garden back to its roots as the "Larder of London". Organisers are hoping to make it a permanent event in 2008 as part of a wider initiative to regenerate interest in the Covent Garden area.
Covent Garden Market and Piazza was bought by Capital and Counties in August 2006 for £421 million.[4] In March 2007 Capco also acquired the shops located under the Royal Opera House.[5] The complete Covent Garden Estate owned by Capital and Counties consists of 550,000 sq ft (51,000 m2). and has a market value of £650 million.[4]
Covent Garden Market reopened as a retail centre in 1980, after the produce market was moved to its current location in Nine Elms. Currently one of the most famous and popular parts of the covered Covent Garden market is Apple Market, a small subsection of the main market. [6] Street entertainment at Covent Garden was first mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary in 1662.[7] Today Covent Garden is the only part of London licensed for street entertainment with performers having to undertake auditions for the Market's management and representatives of the performers' union and signing up to timetabled slots.
Currently performers operate in a number of venues around the market, including the North Hall, West Piazza, and South Hall Courtyard. The courtyard space is dedicated to classical music only. There are street performances at Covent Garden Market every day of the year, except Christmas Day. Shows run throughout the day and are 30–40 minutes in length.
In March 2008, Capital and Counties proposed to reduce street performances by approximately 50%. In the Courtyard, shows currently run back to back from 10:30 am to 7:00 pm, with short breaks in between each show, allowing for two shows each hour. Under the new proposal, performances would be cut to one 30-minute show each hour. The musicians and performers staged a demonstration "busk" in the Piazza against these cuts on 27 March with the opera singer Lesley Garrett who is supporting their campaign.[8] They have organised a petition which so far has over 5,000 signatures including Ken Livingstone, Brian Paddick, Vasko Vassilev, Brian Eno and Victoria Wood.

Ce petit village médiéval du Quercy dont les châteaux (vieux et jeune) surplombent l'Aveyron est classé "Plus beaux villages de France" ,
Bruniquel se situe sur un piton vertigineux surplombant le confluent de la Vère, qui vient de l'Albigeois, et de l'Aveyron au sortir des gorges du même nom.
C'est à ses pieds, voici 15000 ans, que la civilisation magdalénienne s'épanouit. Abris sous roche, grottes ornées,objets d'art paléolitihique en témoignent.
Selon une vielle légende, la Reine mérovingienne Brunehaut aurait bâti au VIe siècle le château primitif mais c'est surtout au Moyen-Age, que le village connut un essor remarquable grâce au commerce du lin, du chanvre et du safran. Il offrait alors une halte pour les pèlerins sur les chemins de Saint-Jacques-de- Compostelle.

Without a doubt the BEST fireworks display I have ever seen last night in celebration of our Country's independence day. The colors were absolutely amazing.

Well I'm back from a quick two-day stint at the Disney World with tons of great photography. It goes without saying that much of this great stuff wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for the folks at WDWphotography.com for arranging a photowalk week at the mouse house. One which had many photo-loving disney fans and some fellow flickrites roaming the lands searching for new and exciting ways to capture what makes Walt Disney World one-of-a-kind. I've met a lot of really great people, some i've been looking forward to meet as well as some new faces. I also met disney professionals Bob Desmond, Alain Boniec, and Lee McKee. Each one with -*decades* worth of experience capturing (and they are still capturing) all that magic that is Disney. They were very excited to meet us and told us lots of great stories while working for the mouse and shared their work. I particularly enjoyed chatting with Lee. He shared some really great photoshop tips and put together a large collection of great work he's done himself and with Alain.
Afterwards the group went to shoot Illuminations and the special Holiday edition of Illuminations. After the meet I ran to my car on the lot and came back to set up at the one location I had to re-do..the fountains of nations. The fountain itself is a wonderful base for long exposure but to combine it with fireworks is like that cherry on top it needs. So after waiting 20 minutes in the freezing Orlando weather that night, the wind was blowing around and my hands and fingers losing all sorts of feeling. I stayed there taking numerous shots as the show went on. This was one of the best shots i grabbed from the holiday version of Illuminations. This location was quiet. you could barely hear the music at the World showcase atop the constant flow of the fountain so I had to pay real close attention to the rockets as they flew up the pitch dark sky so I can hit the shutter at the right time.

The most puicturesque of La Hague's ports is without doubt Port Racine at Saint-Germain-des-Vaux, which is reputed to be the smallest port in France with an area of just 800 m2 and an entrance, between two jetties, just eleven metres wide.
Port Racine bears the name of one of the last pirates that prevailed under Napoleon, Captain François-Médard Racine (1774-1817). In early 1813, he chose this place as a strategic refuge. He built a pier to protect his ships from bad weather and to avoid detection by enemy ships while being able to quickly launch his schooner the the “Embuscade” (the “Ambush”) to attack ships rounding Cape La Hague or sailing to the Channel Islands. After the death of our hero, the wooden defences of Port Racine, although long maintained by fishermen, gradually disintegrated. After several petitions a stone port was finally constructed between 1870 and 1886.
Port Racine shelters the modest boats of local fishermen and fishing trip boats which are tied to ropes that run from one pier to another from a wooden bollard then passed through dike rings before all being tied onto the same post.
Port Racine is first and foremost a harbour for fishermen, with holidaymakers and pleasure craft coming along in summertime, when swimmers sunbathe on the rocks while walkers and hikers take a well-earned rest to contemplate the tiny port.
evviva gli stereotipi stupidi.
nature and photoshop did it.
I'll post something better later, I promise.

You Find Yourself Alone, Sometimes
Without A Home, No Protection
You Don't Know Which Way To Go
You're Lost, No Direction
Then, Suddenly, Out Of The Blue
Some Kind Of Magic Comes To You
You Don't Know How, You Don't Know Why
But Someday Gonna Take Off, Fly
Fly, Fly, Fly...
Make A Wish, Wish, Make A Wish, Wish
My Wish Would Be
(Chorus)
To Be Free
To Be Wild
And To Be
Just Like A Child
And If I Get Lost
I Really Don't Mind

Doing Just Fine
(To Be Free)
You're Out In The Cold, Sometimes
As Far As You Can See, Misty
You Want To Run, Into The Sun
The Road Is Lost, Sand, Shifty
Suddenly, Out Of The Blue
Some Kind Of Magic Pushes You Through
You Don't Know When, How, Or Why
But Someday Gonna Take Off, Fly
Fly, Fly, Fly...
And If I Had A Wish
My Wish Would Be
(Repeat Chorus Three Times)
Just Like A Child
I Really Don't Mind
Cos' I'm Free,
Doing Just Fine

You cannot visit Brugge, and return without a photo with or of a SWAN. Why Swans in Brugge?
THE LEGEND:
At the end of the 15th century, the oppressed people of Bruges rose in revolt against the unpopular Emperor Maximilian of Austria.
They captured Maximilian and imprisoned him in the Craenenburg House on the Market Square, together with his equally unpopular adviser, Pieter Lanckhals.
Lanckhals was condemned to death and Maximilian was forced to watch the execution.
The Emperor eventually escaped and later took his revenge: he decreed that ‘until the end of time’ the city should be required at its own expense to keep swans on all its lakes and canals.
And why swans? Because swans have long necks – and the Flemish for ‘long neck’ is ‘lange hals’ – or ‘lanckhals’!
And so a city legend was born…
THE FACT? More likely…
The first swans in Bruges go back to the Middle Ages.
In the early 15th century, Bruges bought the right to keep swans from the Count of Flanders.
At that time swans were a symbol of distinction.
The killing or stealing swans was forbidden.
Swans were first mentioned in the city accounts in 1403.
At that time the swans tended to stay on the vests around the city because the canals were the water highways of the city and too busy for the swans.
A Mute Swan (Cygnus olor), preening in Spring.
The mute swan is commonly associated with romance because of its stark white beauty, graceful swimming and the fact that it mates for life.
Yet there are many things most people don’t know about this swan, including that it is not native to North America and it can be one of the most aggressive waterfowl.
I chose the graphic composition, because I wanted something different. Hope you like it too.
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Knitting is a fun activity. Many people learn to knit when they are still young. Although it looks like something you can only do with sight, that's not the case. Many blind people knit, too. In fact, a lot of people learn to knit only after they have lost their sight. I learnt to knit when I was 4 or 5 years old. Now, I'm re-learning it blind. It's not that difficult, but I do have to be careful so that I don't do any mistakes.
