Crouse College, also known as Crouse Memorial College and historically as John Crouse Memorial College for Women, is a building on the Syracuse University campus. It was funded by John R. Crouse, an "enormously wealthy Syracuse banker". The architect, Archimedes Russell, was charged with coming up with a spectacular building, and used the Romanesque revival—Richardsonian Romanesque style.
The first cornerstone for the new college was laid in June 1888, and the building was completed in September 1889. The building cost almost half a million dollars and was a gift from local merchant and banker, John Crouse, and his son, D. Edgar Crouse. The elder Crouse was a trustee of the university and built the college as a memorial to his wife. The architect, Archimedes Russell, exceeded the original budget.[citation needed]
The building was intended for use as a women's college and was originally named the John Crouse Memorial College for Women; however, John Crouse died during its construction and his son opened the institution for use by both men and women.

La Torre de Celas es el único resto que se conserva de una fortaleza medieval construida en el siglo XIV. Fue destruida por los Irmandiños y reconstruida en el siglo XV, siendo sus propietarios más ilustres los Condes de Andrade.
En la actualidad solo queda en pie la torre, con doce metros de altura; restaurada en 1992, es sede del Museo Etnográfico del Ayuntamiento de Culleredo.
La Torre de Celas is what remains of a medieval fortress built in the 14th century; it was destroyed by the "Irmandiños" and rebuilt in the 15th century.
At present there is only the tower left, twelve metres high; restaured in 1992, it is the Ethnographic Museum of Culleredo.

I will forever be humbled by the countless sea stacks that stand the test of time on the Pacific Coast. With a constant crashing, pounding, and the relentless ocean dynamic, they remain standing for centuries upon centuries. I visited these stacks two mornings in a row, and had the location to myself for both shoots. I don't get over to the coast that often, so it was a real treat to be able to spend a couple mornings with these two old friends, the sea stacks at Garrapata State Park.
For this photograph, I chose to shoot a single shot for the waves, rocks and sky, but also shot another image focused on the foreground rocks to get more definition. This is always tricky business, as it also slightly changes the focal length, but I felt that this shot would be a relatively easy blend and it would benefit from having sharper rocks in the foreground... as the take up a good 1/3 of the shot.
The glow from the rising sun was brilliant, and I was able to witness a couple of rainbows behind these rocks as well. The power of the surf at this beach demands respect.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
The new Ottawa Convention which reopened this year, was built on the old site, with a major expansion and sporting this new glass facade. I really like this new look as it really adds much vibrancy and elegance to the downtown core of what is an otherwise conservative core.
Much better for the soul and eyes in the lightbox

I have to admit in reality there's only one Krystallen building by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, I've flipped this to create a gateway. In a difference to the previously uploaded photos where I've used this technique here I've introduced a few subtle differences to try and fool the viewer, see if you can spot them all.......

ستكون النسمات .. أكثر ... طراوة
ستكون الدنيا أكثر .. حلاوة
تكذب الفراشة مجدداً
وتبقى النافذة .. عالية
وتبقى أيضاً .. عارية

Plankton had the opportunity to play tourist for a day ... and good thing Plankton is on this side of the glass since he is a primary food source for jellyfish!! Plankton and I made quite a 'splash' setting this shot up at the Monterey Aquarium!! I was inspired by the silhouetted children!
Thanks to all for your wonderful well wishes for my new job!!
Uma série de dunas fixas próximas da praia da Joaquina, muito procuradas pelos praticantes de sandboard. Um ótimo lugar para apreciar o pôr do sol.
It's been almost 2 months since I've shot the coast. I have been running around various places here in the southwest for the last 6 weeks, so being able to photograph the coast again was a treat. I decided to get up early along with everyone else and try to take advantage of the Black Friday specials, although the special I was searching for was along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. I made it down to the shore line and I just stopped and took a deep breath. Ahhhhhhh........the smell of sea water. I missed the coast, I was back........ time for some action. I was greeted with high pounding surf and a brief moment of glowing light. The glow of the sun rising behind the sea cliffs is something special. It's a sight that I truly adore and was very pleased to be able to capture such a scene. Hope everyone has a great week.
Thanks to my buddy Thorsten for help with the title of this image. Thanks!

Widepolle, Barle valley Exmoor;
On a bright & misty morning, the 19th November 2004. I drove down to Tarr Steps with Rintin. It was quiet & peaceful; a respite from the two fiery arguements at the crack of dawn.
On the front cover of the Guardian, an open letter from a U.S war correspodent. A whistle blower; he had witnessed the cold blooded murder of an elderly Iraqi citizen. Shot by U.S forces as he lay unarmed & sleeping on the floor.
Rintin had vanished, she had been sitting outside as I read; with the car door open. She had barely reached a year, born stone deaf & followed me like a shadow.
After walking awhile across the open moor, a lady explained she saw Rintin crossing the river Tarr, heading west following two walkers. Some desperate 13 hours later of searching, I drove again to the steps & from a hill I began to flash the car lights over the moor in the same way I would call her home on the farm. In under an hour Rintin came back & met me at the steps across the Tarr.
We had only driven a mile or so when the car ran out of petrol. It was less than 10 miles to walk home & even at midnight it was not so cold. It was good to have her at my side.
We reached this bridge at Widepolle after seven miles. Our lives were about to change forever. We crossed the bridge, passed the old inn, & began to take the deathly quiet winding lane, that lead to home. There I came upon two men, both tall & thick set. They called out softly. Their car was parked a few metres behind them, with the lights & engine off. Indeed our lives changed forever, halfway down that pitch black road. I cannot say why life turns a cruel page for you sometimes.
in July this year I returned with Rintin & visited the things we never meant to leave behind.

One from last weekend's fog in Windsor Great Park. Another in a long line of shots taken with the camera sat on the pavement. It's hard to beat a low POV for easy composition and odd looks from the general public.
A more thorough catching up beginning now. Way behind, as is typically the way at the moment, and I missed some people last week. Apologies if that was you! Hopefully it won't be for long!
First advent - I hope you are all well. I wish you a contemplative Advent. Try to protect you as much as possible from the hectic season.
La Défense, en région parisienne, est le premier quartier d'affaires européen par l'étendue de son parc de bureaux1. Il est situé dans les Hauts-de-Seine sur les territoires de Puteaux, Courbevoie et de Nanterre dans le prolongement de l'axe historique parisien qui commence au musée du Louvre et se poursuit par l'avenue des Champs-Élysées, l'Arc de triomphe de l'Étoile, et au-delà jusqu'au pont de Neuilly et l'Arche de la Défense2.
Érigée dans les années 1960, la Défense est majoritairement constituée d'immeubles de grande hauteur, regroupant principalement des bureaux (environ 3 millions de m2). La Défense est cependant un quartier mixte : elle accueille 600 000 m2 de logements et l'ouverture du centre commercial des Quatre-Temps en 1981 en a fait un pôle commercial majeur en région Île-de-France. En 2009, le quartier compte 2 500 entreprises, environ 180 000 salariés et 20 000 habitants3 répartis dans 71 tours.
Le quartier s'étire à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur d'un boulevard circulaire à sens unique. Il s'étend sur 160 hectares et a été divisé en 2011 en quatre grands secteurs (Arche Nord, Arche Sud, Esplanade Nord et Esplanade Sud) qui remplacent les 12 anciens secteurs numérotés. Le quartier s'étend sur une vaste dalle piétonne de 31 hectares3 surélevée par rapport au sol naturel. L'espace public de la dalle, essentiellement minéral, est également composé de jardins suspendus et de bassins. Sur la dalle, une soixantaine d'œuvres d'art font de la Défense un musée en plein air.
La Défense n'est pas un centre d'affaires isolé, mais se situe dans une vaste zone de l'ouest parisien où l'activité tertiaire est particulièrement puissante4. Malgré son dynamisme, le lieu peine à séduire les investisseurs. L'opération de reconquête a été lancée: rénovation, construction, et surtout regroupement des pôles financiers de la capitale.
L'aménagement du quartier de la Défense a été confié par l'État en 1958 à l'établissement public pour l'aménagement de la région de la Défense (EPAD), dont le périmètre d'intervention a été réduit en 2000, puis élargi en 2010, devenant l'Établissement public d'aménagement de la Défense Seine Arche (EPADESA) afin de mettre en œuvre un projet cohérent de la Seine à la Seine, sur l'un des territoires majeurs du Grand Paris5. Le périmètre d'action de cette entité créée en 2010 dépasse largement le boulevard circulaire de la Défense et s'étend désormais sur les communes de Puteaux, Courbevoie, Nanterre et La Garenne-Colombes. Depuis 2009, le quartier d'affaires est exploité par Defacto, qui entretient les espaces publics, et qui s'occupe de la promotion et de l'animation de la Défense (mission conduite jusqu'alors par l'EPAD).
La Défense est souvent présentée comme étant « aux portes de Paris », mais la Grande Arche est aussi proche des Yvelines que de la ville de Paris6.
Yep! A squirrel and some bokeh! How's that for some good old fashioned cliché?
Just found out that I have another Thanksgiving dinner to attend at my brother-in-laws. I thought today would be a fun, lazy Flickr catch-up day! So ... I will attend to that this evening! And attend to more chowing today {just what I needed}!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!
This is another version of the same scene, taken some minutes earlier and from another position. The post processing was a bit different (I have used an enhancer). What I like about it, are the different mountains.
BTW: There is a nice restaurant and beer garden behind that church. We have been there many times.

In astronomy, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. Pleiades has several meanings in different cultures and traditions.
The cluster is dominated by hot blue and extremely luminous stars that have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms a faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster (hence the alternate name Maia Nebula after the star Maia), but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium that the stars are currently passing through. Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational interactions with its galactic neighborhood.

I always love a symmetrical shot but rarely process one just for the fun of it :) The original shot for this is so-so & looks rather boring to me therefore this is one great chance to do a flip for a more visual impact. Bet you guys can't really tell the difference rite even tho i've left some parts the way it is so you can see :D
