This one is for Munich.
For all the fantastic architecture whether the old or the new one.
For all the breweries and the most delicious beer in the world.
For all the rollercoasters at the Oktoberfest which make so many people happy every year.
This is to the people.
To all those people sitting outside in the sun even though it is freezingly cold.
To all those surfers who are surfing no matter the season.
To all those drunken strangers at the Munich beer festival which are friends for one night.
I love you guys, you are my inspiration, you are my life.

I shot this scene on a whim in the whee hours a few minutes from dawn along a dark county road between Jamestown and Chinese camp along California highway 49. The landscape is full of rolling valleys and hills leading up to the Sierra Nevada mountains to the east. As I pulled over I noticed this fence and the tall dry grass that surrounded it and just as luck would have it the bright center of the Milky Way was almost perfectly aligned in formation behind the fence mimicking the angle of the fence posts. I love being able to capture a scene as it unfolds before my eyes. Within a few moments dawn was on the horizon and the Milky Way disappeared in the blue light of dawn. If you get a chance to gaze the Milky Way consider yourself lucky because light pollution is destroying our dark skies and gradually degrading views of this majestic ribbon in the sky. As you may notice in the image the presence of an orange glow along the horizon. This glow is from light pollution from the towns Oakdale, Modesto, and Merced, Ca. I would love to see more done to prevent light pollution so I can create more amazing images of the night sky. Thanks for Stopping by please feel free to comment or critique my work.
Lamentavelmente ontem os usuários do Flickr foram surpreendidos com um novo site, pois o flickr esta completamente diferente e como de costume o flickr sem respeito algum aos usuários seja pagos ou contas free, não pede opinião e não tem um instrumento de reclamação.
Eles simplesmente mudam e nós que temos que nos adaptar, já que usuários antigos acabam refém de sua própria exclusividade ao site, pois podemos sair, mas o que faremos com tantas fotos armazenadas no site? Confesso que essa sensação de abuso de poder não me agrada nem um pouco.
Sim o site esta diferente, a primeira imprensão é péssima, eu que odeio mudanças radiais e principalmente em algo que pago sem minha opinão e meu conhecimento prévio acaba ficando ainda pior.
Passado o primeiro susto, realmente o site esta confuso, coisas que antes com um simples clique você conseguia fazer, agora tem que ficar clicando uma ou mais vezes, o que parece ir contra as facilidades almejadas por todos os programadores, mas algumas mudanças são uma questão de costume, particularmente ate gostei da pagina principal, mas tirando o lado estético, e passando para o lado pratico:
•Achei péssima a nova forma que aparecem nos comentários, nesta nova maneira, as sequencias que faço há anos, acabam por desaparecerem depois do quarto comentário, assim como o costume de colocar a foto de um ano atrás. Só isto para mim já me deixou se animo ate agora de continuar, pois gostava muito de fazer as sequencias.
•Minha conta pro só vence ano que vem, mas tenho certeza que mesmo os que estão gostando do novo flickr aqui no Brasil e olha que posso contar nos dedos de uma única mão, mudara de ideia quando tentar renovar a conta e não conseguir e tiver que lidar com um monte de anuncio saltitando em sua pagina.
•Eu já vi essa historia acontecer em outros sites e basicamente todos eles acabaram abandonados e sem ninguém, foi assim com o Buzznet e foi assim com o Orkut que ainda permitiu o uso do layout antigo por um tempo, mas que acabou ficando as traças quando mudou definitivamente, alem de que acho que pagar Usd 499,00 num site que não tem respeito com os seus usuários, onde não há um Serviço de Atendimento ao Usario, uma loucura.
•Não tenho muita esperança na reversão desta situação , mas foi criado um local onde podemos ao menos reclamar ou talvez desabafar, lembrando que uma andorinha só não faz verão, por isto vá e divulgue para os seus amigos que também não estão satisfeitos com a novidade para irem também neste site.

Ps. Outra coisa que esta acontecendo, não sei se apenas comigo ou outras pessoas estão tendo um problema semelhante, mas nada que é comentado na minha ultima foto do Cristo, esta aparecendo quando clico em atividades recentes, na verdade a foto do Cristo nem aparece La, quanto mais os comentários que nelas foram feitos, para ver, tenho que entrar na própria foto. LAMENTAVEL

Intento nuevamente levantar el vuelo,
junto a mi fiel compañera la esperanza.
Mi equipaje es ligero, solo llevo confianza,
paz, risas, sueños e ilusiones bajo el cielo.

I'm trying to get airborne again
with my faithful companion the hope.
My luggage is light, I only carry confidence,
peace, laughter, dreams and illusions under heaven.

As Darrell and I walked back across the campus after a session with the WIU Hot Shots photography club in the University's photography studio, we spied a stand of dandelion stalks softly lit by the setting sun. Neither of us could resist pulling our cameras out and taking some shots. This image of one going to seed is probably only the second dandelion picture that I have posted to flicker in the last couple of years. To obtain the shot, I used the articulating LCD (instead of the viewfinder) while holding the camera down near the ground. It was processed in Lightroom 5 using a radial filter.
My attitude towards these prolific and tenacious weeds has radically changed since moving out into the countryside of western Illinois. I used to fruitlessly try to eradicate them from the lawn... but now, because of the sheer overwhelming number of them and the huge size of the lawns out here, I am content to keep them mowed down with the rest of the grass. :D

People accuse me of “Photoshopping” my photographs. That’s crazy! All my photographs are SOOAA, that is “straight out of Apple Aperture.”
I was walking in Lafayette Square, a public park located directly north of the White House, in Washington, DC last week. I noticed these cumulus clouds and composed a couple of photographs. I know this is Washington, DC where everything is an illusion, but I pulled no magic tricks in post-production. I simply increased the contrast and bumped up the vibrancy. Mother nature gets all the credit for this one.
It has been a roller coaster week here in the nation’s capitol. Scandals have burst over the political weather front from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limiting free speech to the Justice Department spying on reporter’s phone records.
I guess my “Photoshopping,” I mean my SOOAA skills, aren’t the only scandals brewing in Washington, DC.
Happy Travels!

Or should I say good morning Washington, DC! Actually, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is only about 1,000 feet from where I photographed this so I wasn’t too far from a “Vietnam” theme.
The ugly looking obelisk with the scaffolding is the Washington Monument which has been under construction since the August 2011 earthquake. If you are planning a trip to the Nation’s capitol soon, be warned that construction will not be completed until sometime in 2014. That’s really a bummer because everywhere you take a photograph in Washington, DC it seems the Washington Monument is always in the background.
I got up early this particular morning because in the spring and summer the sunrise runs parallel to the Lincoln Memorial (rising near the Washington Monument) and bathes the statue of Mr. Lincoln in warm, soft light. As you can see from my photograph that didn’t happen, so I had to settle for this lonely jogger running along the Reflecting Pool.
Happy Travels!

Welcome to the Brickell Financial District immediately south of downtown Miami. This entire district -- according to the locals and Wikipedia -- contains the highest concentration of international banks of any American city. Brickell is part of the greater downtown Miami area and actually has more people who work in this district than in downtown Miami itself. One could say the central business district of Miami is now Brickell.
This photo would not have been achieved without the help of Roberto, whose classy photography is already very familiar to many of you. When we met, the rain was pouring heavily, and we thought for a while that the blue hour and night would be spoiled. It seemed to start that way, but when the storm passed. . .WOW! As many of you know, the sky and atmosphere is cleansed after a heavy storm passes, so it really makes for some magnificent photography, especially after sunset in a densely populated area. Our patience paid off and time was on our side.
Roberto was a fantastic guide and showed me many vantages along the Miami River. We walked around downtown and Brickell. With the help of the free, public light rail system, the Metromover (which you see towards the right), we were able to get around downtown with very little effort -- and avoid getting drenched when the rain made a few more cameos!
Muchas Gracias, Roberto!

Woke up and opened the blinds to this view. I think lady luck was looking out for me because the hotel's windows must have been cleaned very recently.

A volte sentiamo bisogno di un faro che ci illumini e ci indichi la riva di approdo, soprattutto quando ci sentiamo in balia delle onde della vita.... e ci è difficile scorgere un porto sicuro; mi piace pensare che ci sia sempre qualcosa o qualcuno capace di illuminare il mio cammino..
Thinking about all my peeps today... Especially those who are not around any more to share a glass of wine or a laugh. Maybe watching the Dave Allen documentary last night had something to do with it!

Join me for a landscape and post-processing workshop in Iceland, Sept 2014.
The night sky above a mountain in Snæfellsnes, Iceland. We had started driving more and more into the middle of nowhere when we came across this awesome looking mountain. We jumped out of the car, turned off the lights and the amount of 'astro-stuff' you could see was phenomenal!
This clearness in the sky didn't last for long and the stars were soon hard to photography due to light pollution. The upside is that this light pollution was caused by the aurora borealis. BONUS.
No images in comments please.

This monument was built by the Prince Leopold III. Friedrich Franz of Anhalt-Dessau 1785 -1787 and used as a guesthouse.
The guesthouse gained great popularity because of the beautiful view and the tasteful, modern furnished rooms. In the long guest list includes names like Schinkel, Hölderlin and Novalis.
The guest house Eichenkranz is acting like a castell construction. As a gateway to the city and an important reference point for the beautiful gardens of Wörlitz, It represents an ingenious architectural and urbanistic solution.
Dieses Baudenkmal wurde vom Fürsten Leopold III. Friedrich Franz von Anhalt-Dessau 1785 -1787 erbaut und als Gästehaus genutzt.
Das Gästehaus erlangte wegen der schönen Aussicht und der geschmackvollen, modern möblierten Zimmer große Berühmtheit. In der langen Gästeliste finden sich namen wie Schinkel, Hölderlin und Novalis.
Als Eingangstor zur Stadt Wörlitz und wichtigem Bezugspunkt der Wörlitzer Gartenanlagen zugleich, stellt der kastellartig wirkende Bau eine geniale architektonisch-städtebauliche Lösung dar.
I've been in this beautiful library several times before. It was always so crowded, that I even didn't think about taking the camera out. Guess I was lucky this time...
Info
Adjoining the cathedral of Siena is the Piccolomini Library, housing precious illuminated choir books and frescoes based on designs by Raphael.
The visual impact of these very colourful frescoes is stunning. The frescoes tell the story of the life of Siena's favourite son, cardinal Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who eventually became Pope Pius II.
In the middle of the library is the famous statue Three Graces, a Roman copy of a Greek original.
Our regular roving railway reporter Flying Snail asked to see this one - he's nearing the end of his college work (a photographic project on the former railways in Co. Meath).
Love the Station Master checking his watch!

Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club. It was a terrific event for which I had nearly a month to prepare. I was never nervous once until a few seconds after the presentation started. A bout of apprehensiveness struck me, which was really all in my head. Nothing unfortunate or embarrassing occurred!
Fortunately, I had a very good-natured and engaging audience. After a brief microphone sound-check took place two minutes into the discussion, and a few playful quips into the mic (i.e. Recall Joey’s popular quote from the “Friends” television series, “How You Doin’???”), I was ready to go! Laughter from the audience is always reassuring.
There was a turnout of approximately 70 individuals, and the head of the photo club told me he couldn’t remember the last time a presenter received audible applause at the conclusion of a presentation. I thought I could have done a lot better, but the overall feedback I received was -- to my delight -- extremely positive. Like most human beings, I am my own worst critic. On top of that, amidst the preparation, I was exhausted from multiple aspects of my daily routine from the previous month leading to the event. No complaints, though. Every minute and every second of this photography venture has been worth the effort.
If you would like to see the “Introduction to Night Photography” presentation (revised to target an online audience) and the concluding photo video, both are currently on my official blog. Pictures taken during the presentation are posted there as well. If anything, viewers can take humor in my nerdy voice and fashion sense. Please feel free to share the presentation and video with your friends and colleagues.

The Photo:
This is a view of Seattle’s SoDo (South Downtown) neighborhood, which is essentially the city’s warehouse district adjacent to Harbor Island, which serves as the Port of Seattle. Starbucks’ world headquarters is located in SoDo. I love the bright lights of the port in combination with the thick clouds engulfing the Olympic Mountains along the horizon.
Even Seattle’s warehouse district has an alluring charm!

THE JAMES RIVER The English colonists named it "James" after King James I of England, as they also constructed the first permanent English settlement in the Americas in 1607 at Jamestown along the banks of the James River about 35 miles (56 km) upstream from the Chesapeake Bay..Standing tall, I saw this old remnant of what was left after years of being there !! A tree is still a tree ? A beautiful sunset on the James River.
