I love it every year when these poppies bloom all over. It signals that summer and warm weather are here. Down the street from me there is a 9 foot bush of these. So glad I shot them as a heat wave last week has left them all wilting.
Another glorious sunrise over Padre Island. Press "L" and let the light shine down on you!!

I know I say this about 90% of photos, but this looks much better large, on black! Thanks!
Although not quite as impressive as it's Italian counterparts, Leadenhall Market is still quite a pretty structure. Situated next to the Lloyd's Building, the interior of this market is very colourful and ornate when you take the time to look at it.
This market has been around since the 14th century and mostly sells fresh food, generally meat, poultry, game and cheese. It also sells flowers I believe. According to sources, this stands on the centre of what was Roman London.
This shot was taken on a Sunday photowalk with Murphyz and John Esslinger; our first one together and hugely enjoyable!
This photo has a fair bit of detail, so it looks much better when viewed larger. (Press L)

For Macro Monday's theme: "Backwards"
It's been five months since I've done a Macro Monday! This is really weird ... but the idea came to me in the middle of the night. It isn't particularly original, I'm sure someone already thought of it but I didn't even peek into the group yet.

Picture taken at the heel of the Reykjanes peninsula, one of my and my brother's favorite places to photograph....
This landscape is only about a kilometer (~ 1/2 mile) away from the highly active hotspring area, recently depicted in this stream. www.flickr.com/photos/coldpix/5822587035/in/photostream
(Update: The more I see this image, the less I seem to like it and I don't know why. But that's how experiments are I guess..some you like, some you don't. Hopefully I will be more pleased with my next one)
Well, this is an experiment, so guys please go easy on me!
So many Fridays have passed and I kept looking at picture of many of my contacts posting fences on a Friday and I kept thinking of doing it many times in the past!
I went around trying to find fences in my town and I was not very successful in finding the one of my liking. Finally yesterday I decided to create my own fence and came up with this. What you see are pencils being placed on a table with the Gulmohar trees at the back. I really have absolutely no idea what to feel about this fence or the image but I liked the bokeh created by the trees in the background and decided to post this.
This is of course another one of my weird experiments and I can't bring myself to have any opinion about it. So you guys let me know. HFF!
I'm going to continue my experiments through the weekend! Have a happy weekend everybody.

Manhattan is the oldest and the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City. Located primarily on Manhattan Island at the mouth of the Hudson River, the boundaries of the borough are identical to those of New York County, an original county of the state of New York. The borough and county consist of Manhattan Island and several small adjacent islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall's Island, Wards Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island,[1] Mill Rock, and U Thant Island; as well as Marble Hill, a very small area on the mainland bordering the Bronx. The original city of New York began at the southern end of Manhattan, expanded northwards, and then between 1874 and 1898, annexed land from surrounding counties.
The County of New York is the most densely populated county in the United States, and one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a 2008 population of 1,634,795[2] living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.47 km²), or 71,201 residents per square mile (27,485/km²). It is also one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, with a 2005 personal income per capita above $100,000.[3] Manhattan is the third-largest of New York's five boroughs in population, and its smallest borough in size.
Manhattan is a major commercial, financial, and cultural center of both the United States and the world.[4][5][6] Anchored by Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, New York City vies with the City of London as the financial capital of the world[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and is home of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many major radio, television, and telecommunications companies in the United States are based here, as well as many news, magazine, book, and other media publishers.
Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations. It is the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, hosting the seat of city government and a large portion of the area's employment, business, and entertainment activities. As a result, residents of New York City's other boroughs such as Brooklyn and Queens often refer to a trip to Manhattan as "going to the city",[14] despite the comparable populations between those boroughs.
For Jackie's birthday, we went to the city for a Molly's Cupcake; then headed over to Montrose Harbor to do a photo shoot with her birthday balloons. No photoshoot is complete without our toys!! It was a lively shoot with the wind whipping Totoro around. We wound the ribbons around his arm & tail to anchor him. He smiled throughout and didn't complain once!!

A real one!
I took this photo through a glass window. I was doing my things when I looked at that direction and saw it happening. I was amazed at how fast they worked, first World, indeed!
I've got more photos, I'll post more in the short run.

Tirei esta foto através de um janela de vidro. Estava fazendo minhas coisas quando olhei para fora e vi a cena acontecendo. Fiquei impressionada com a rapidez que agiram, Primeiro Mundo, de fato!
Tenho mais fotos, postarei para frente!
Hope everyone has been well! I have been!! I hope you can "see" the people in the above, it is a street scene manipulated by me. It seems interesting to me that in the thumbnail the people seem more recognizable, and get more distorted the larger the view. Or perhaps not! :-)))))
Born Friday morning. All is well.
Great Canadian Loon -- This diver is well-known in Canada, appearing on the "loonie" coin and the previous series of $20 bill, and is the provincial bird of Ontario. Also, it is the state bird of Minnesota.
The voice and appearance of the Great Northern Loon has made it prominent in several Native American tales. These include a story of a loon which created the world in a Chippewa story; a Micmac saga describes Kwee-moo, the loon who was a special messenger of Glooscap (Glu-skap), the tribal hero; native tribes of British Columbia believed that an excess of calls from this bird predicted rain, and even brought it; and the tale of the loon's necklace was handed down in many versions among Pacific Coast peoples. Folk names include big loon, black-billed loon, call-up-a-storm, ember-goose, greenhead, guinea duck, imber diver, ring-necked loon, and walloon.

i was very surprised this deer got so close to me!
i stayed fairly still, apart from having to change lenses.. and she kept on walking closer..
i think it might have been the interesting smell of my menthol sweets.
she kept smelling the air, looking very interested in what i was doing.
Please stop to reload the page photo, I would be grateful for that.
To obtain this special light, I used a Lightroom preset created by me.
You can find some presets "vintage" HERE

I'm pretty sure this is what heaven looks like.

può un confine non finire mai?
certo, che può.
se sia perchè è sconfinato e nienteppiù, oppure perchè, nel suo esser sconfinato, non sconfina, debbo ancora capirlo.
ma ho tempo, e luce, ed acqua, e vento, e mare, e sabbia a sufficienza per capirlo.
ed a proposito di fine e confine, ho affinita', mani che ascoltano, ho tutti i crismi, un paio di zeta, e so anche risolvere qualche busillis.
il confine non ha fine, dunque.
cambia, è in perenne mutazione, non è mai (ma mai, mai, mai) uguale a se stesso, ha equilibri ogni tanto instabili, scombina piatti di bilance talvolta sbilanciate: acqua su sabbia o sabbia sull'acqua, dipende, indipendentemente*.
la costante, però, e che fine non ha, e non avrà.

"A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal
You were so tired, happy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for her
I'll take the quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide
No alarms and no surprises"

The Val d’Orcia, or Valdorcia, is a region of Tuscany, central Italy, which extends from the hills south of Siena to Monte Amiata. It is characterised by gentle, carefully cultivated hills occasionally broken by gullies and by picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza (rebuilt as an “ideal town” in the 15th century under the patronage of Pope Pius II), Radicofani (home to the notorious brigand-hero Ghino di Tacco) and Montalcino (the Brunello di Montalcino is counted among the most prestigious of Italian wines). It is a landscape which has become familiar through its depiction in works of art from the Renaissance painting to the modern photograph.
In 2004 the Val d’Orcia was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites under these criteria:
* Criterion (iv): The Val d’Orcia is an exceptional reflection of the way the landscape was re-written in Renaissance times to reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing pictures.
* Criterion (vi): The landscape of the Val d’Orcia was celebrated by painters from the Scuola Senese, which flourished during the Renaissance. Images of the Val d’Orcia, and particularly depictions of landscapes where people are depicted as living in harmony with nature, have come to be seen as icons of the Renaissance and have profoundly influenced the development of landscape thinking.

Are you white? Are you Caucasian? Are you a god damn cracker? However you want to phrase it, I’m asking if are you of European dissent? I am. This fact alone gives me a huge advantage living in the country I live in. Which also happens to be arguably the most powerful country in the world at the moment. Both in terms of economics, political pull and military agendas.
Why do I bring this up? Well I have found that when I go into poor areas that are primary black, you know the city dwellings where are the white people ran away from years ago, the fight or flight activity in my brain goes wild. I automatically feel out of place and rather fearful. Do I want to feel this way? Of course not.
And yes let me just get this stupid spiel out of the way because you knew it was coming: I don’t consider myself to be “racist” or a bigot or any of those labels that we associate with someone who is a close minded ignorant asshole. I’m not going to tell you how many “black” friends I have because I’m not trying to prove something to you (can you get any more lame by the way? I just want to punch white people in the face when they say that trying to prove their un-racist worth). But here I am admitting that my brain tells me to get scared when I go in to what people commonly refer to as the “ghetto”.
But I’m here to also tell you that I have a happy little moral to this story. I have found that when I am actually able to push these negative thoughts to the side, I wind up much happier.
Case in point? This picture. When I see the people in these areas while I take these pictures (at night) without acting like a scared little white boy, they tend to warm up to me. The more I unquestionably treat everyone there with the kind of respect of a human being that I would expect to be treated, the more accepted I seem to be in return.
But most prominently, the less fearful I genuinely am, the less hostile they are to me. The key word here being “genuinely”. Because you can’t fake this shit. You have to actually mean it. This isn’t a fucking Hollywood movie, it’s the real deal. The opposite of love is fear, not hate. No truer words have ever been said.
And if you think about this whole concept, it makes perfect sense. Think about you pimp photo viewer whoever you are. Think about if someone came to you and was a scared little pussy coming with all kinds of preconceived notions of who you are and completely judging you right off the bat before they even spoke a word to you. Would you dislike them? Would you automatically want to fuck with them? Possibly to just get them the fuck out of your face? Who wants to be around someone like that anyhow? Not me.
The shot at hand? One of the most notoriously “bad” locations of the entire bay area, West Oakland. There were parties, music blaring, people hanging out, and there you had Mr. Photo Man taking pictures because I LOVED this street corner. Something about that old restored car under that street lamp with that mural made for an awesome shot. Fedora included.

"The late General Tom Barry, famous for his exploits in the Cork No.3 Brigade flying column in West Cork during the War of Independence, lived with his wife Leslie (née Price, founder of the Irish Red Cross), in a flat directly over Woodford Bourne for many years. The top window on the left would have been theirs from the 1940s until his death in 1980."

Walker again!
We shot this behind my apartment this afternoon on a whim, it was Holly Rose, Walker Anderson and me; equipped with 3 cups of water, a stool, a tripod, and my trusty 5D Mark II!
Here comes summer everyone!
