Itaguaçu é um bairro nobre da cidade brasileira de Florianópolis, capital do estado de Santa Catarina. Está situado na porção continental do município, ao sul, entre os bairros de Coqueiros e Bom Abrigo e a Baía Sul. O nome Itaguaçu é de origem tupi e quer dizer literalmente "Viveiro de Pedras Grandes" ou "Lugar onde há Pedras Grandes". Estas pedras constituem interessantes formações de granito à beira da praia de Itaguaçu e em meio ao mar da Baía Sul, havendo mesmo uma lenda que conta de bruxas que teriam sido petrificadas, dando origem às pedras, uma das quais parece ter um chapéu, e também há um conjunto de 6 pedras que formam um tipo de um círculo com uma sétima pedra no meio (alusão a ritual satânico)
Itaguaçu is a neighborhood of the Brazilian city of Florianopolis, the state capital of Santa Catarina. It is situated in the mainland portion of the city to the south, between the neighborhoods of Coconut Well and Shelter Bay and South Itaguaçu The name is of Tupi origin and literally means "Big Stones Nursery" or "place where there are Big Rocks". These stones are interesting granite formations on the beach Itaguassu and amid the sea of the South Bay, there is even a legend that tells of witches who have been petrified, giving rise to the stones, one of which seems to have a hat, and also 6 is a set of stones that form a kind of a circle with a seventh stone in the middle (an allusion to Satanic ritual)

The sky is still clearly overexposed but the fairy tale landscape might compensate that, at least a little.
The Pyrenees mountain range forms a fantastic backdrop to the entire Ariège Department, rising some 3,000 meter (10,000 feet) in the Montcalm Massif, along the border with Andorra and Spain. The highest peaks are clearly visible visible from Toulouse in the Haute Garonne. It is one of the least populated and most unspoiled regions of France. The locals enjoy keeping traditions alive, especially old farming techniques. Consequently, as fewer insecticides, for example, have been used, the flora and fauna of the area continue to be rich in both diversity and numbers. Butterflies are common and birds are numerous; particularly noticeable are large birds of prey, including the magnificent Griffon vultures.

It's very rare that we get to see frozen lakes here in the West Coast. The last time the road to this lake was open in January was 1976. This past January Diego and I spend a couple of days admiring the frozen lakes. This is Tenaya Lake, located in Yosemite National Park, CA. Have a great week everyone and may the light be with you.

It feels good to be finally posting on Flickr after a long gap. I have been busy, unwell and lazy all at the same time and therefore haven't had the time to spend time here.
This is a long exposure shot from my last year's trip to Goa, here in India. A friend of mine did a great job of playing statue for me for about 10 seconds to get a near perfect image. You can still see the blur in the cigarette but I still like the overall look and feel of this image.
I hope to catchup with all your streams today. Have a wonderful week, everyone!

This high oblique panorama shows Morocco and Spain as photographed by the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station. The Atlantic Ocean, Straits of Gibraltar and Alboran Sea (the westernmost portion of the Mediterranean Sea) separate Spain on the right from Morocco on the left. Algeciras Harbor is the prominent notch cut out of the eastern end of the north shore of the Strait. A Russian spacecraft, docked to the orbital outpost, is in the upper left corner.

"There are times you feel you're part of the scenery, all the greenery...." With scenery like this, I don't really mind :)
I couldn't be more thrilled with the days getting longer. I think what I dislike most about the winter months is the shorter days. When I'm in charge, Daylight Savings Time will be in effect all year long. In the meantime, I'll just appreciate the longer days and use them as an opportunity to occasionally get in some shooting after I leave the office for the day.

My first early morning trip to the coast this year, brought a brief, but very vivid burst of colour before sunrise. Not the best composition of the day, however this shows the colour at it's most intense.
226 seconds... the sea was half way up those rocks when I started the exposure!

to begin with, i'm retiring my 365. i'm entirely too far behind, and there's always a nagging feeling in the back of my mind to create for this and not for me, so it's done. i may attempt another in the future. :)
secondly, thank you to Joel for renewing my Pro Account! :D
next, i am having a GIVEAWAY over at my facebook page. i'm giving away some prints and a book all about photography! details are at the link!
finally, this is a large screengrab. photoshop quit in the middle of saving, but i had quick fingers and was able to screengrab the finished piece. it'll do. :)
this really represents my struggle with anxiety. i have a lot of anxiety issues and i often feel lost because of them. it's incredibly frustrating all the time, and i'm really, really trying to work on it. small steps, though. <3
also, thank you lana and alia for the help on this shoot!
here is a link to my second q&a video. i'm only answering a question or two at a time. :)

Pont Saint-Michel is a bridge linking the Place Saint-Michel on the left bank of the river Seine to the Île de la Cité. It was named after the nearby chapel of Saint-Michel. It is near Sainte Chapelle and the Palais de Justice. The present 62-metre-long bridge dates to 1857.

I took this almost four years ago while hiking the Skyline Open Space Preserve in Saratoge, California. This was right after a quick rainstorm blew through; ten minutes later it was sunny again. In case you're not familiar with Canon's G Series point-and-shoot cameras, this is an example of the kind of image these amazing little cameras can produce. This was taken with a G9.

Two tone 458's are sick! Thanks to all who have helped me achieve 500 photos and especially those who always critique my photos and help me become a better photographer and editor.
One great new photostream to view is this one:
Life is for those who are smart. Those who can pretend, those who can smile, and even smile at people they do not like. Life is for those who want something, those who have other goals than just to die. Life is a game, and I have no plans to play with.
I haven't been feeling so good with photography as I would like. I don't have a lack of inspiration, just that its bad weather, no colors nothing here now.
I have felt really desperate and taking this shot was a big relief for me.. I hope people don't find the watermark so distracting, I'm still trying to find a good way to watermark my photos.
Check out the Before & After
The TID Tower is an under-construction high-rise in Tirana, Albania. The building is expected to be 85 metres (279 ft) tall. It consists of 25 floors. The design comes from Belgian architectural firm 51N4E, and construction started on 14 January 2007.
The TID tower is part of the ambitious new master plan for the city, which want to make around ten iconographic towers. The main program of the tower consists housing program. Offices, shopping and restaurant facilities are located in the base. At the top of the building a panorama restaurant. The tower appear to be constructed from individual plates of clear and sand coloured glaze which are placed at different angles adding to the towers look and giving it texture, although its more likely the tower is fully glazed and the coloured panels are laid over the top and form balconies and such but it all adds to the illusionary qualities of the towers appearance. During early stages of the development last year, builders were presented with a unique real estate construction dilemma. The development is almost on top of the Suleman Pasha Tomb. A circular 3D cut-out at the base of the building ensures the two exist in harmony.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TID_Tower
"M.E. (Interviewer Mark Evans): What about Tirana, your capital city? What is it like?
F.T. (Fatos Tarifa; Albanian ambassador to the USA): Tirana is the most dynamic city in the Balkans today. Twelve years ago, when I left, Tirana had a population of 250 thousands people. Today the city has one million inhabitants. (...) Tirana may be characterised as a city in construction, or as a gigantic construction site. There are new buildings everywhere. Tirana is a booming city."
F. Tarifa, To Albania; with love, 2007, Lanham, p. 78
Common areas between apartment buildings were brought back to normality after decades of neglect, while existing parks, city squares, and sports recreational areas were renovated giving Tirana a more European look. However, some green areas are being used for the construction of skyscrapers. Rama has been accused by critics of corruption while issuing building permits, but he has dismissed the claims as baseless. Decreasing urban space and traffic congestion have become major problems as a general construction chaos is observed in Tirana.
Although much has been achieved, critics argue that there lacks a clear vision on Tirana's future. Loss of public space due to illegal and chaotic construction, unpaved roads in suburban areas, degradation of Tirana's Artificial Lake, rehabilitation of Skanderbeg Square, ever present smog, the construction of a central bus station, and public parking lots are some pressing issues still remaining to be solved. Some proposed future plans include the continuation of illegal buildings' legalization process, construction of the southwestern portion of the Big Ring Road, a tram system, and the rehabilitation of the Tirana Train Station area.

The small fishing village of Arnarstapi in Iceland. There certainly are iconic and picturesque places on earth. I'm very happy to be able to enjoy a lot of such magnificence quite often - as well as some bad weather too, for the sake of appreciating the good (let's say that).
Behind that mountain there's a volcano that can't be seen on my shot due to the haze. It would be Snæfellsnes. In Jules Verne's "A Journey to the Centre of the Earth", the Snæfellsnes crater is the entrance from where the adventurers descend into the bowels of the earth.

Taken out of the archives. A maternity shoot for my friend back in the fall. I had all these shots tha probably would have never seen the day of night again since the last time I had given them the photos.
Love is in the air, so I'd thought it'll be nice to look back at an example of true love from someone very close to me :) Happy Valentine's Day!

In winter, Amsterdammers watch the falling thermometer readings with the same focus as people in Aspen and Chamonix. When the temperature drops low enough for long enough, the lakes and the canals become sparkling highways for the skaters. Little kiosks are set up on the ice to dispense heart-warming liqueurs. I really love this part of our culture. Almost everyone, young or old, likes to skate and is smiling and friendly. We already have one week of ice and wednesday 8 Februari I took a day off to skate on natural ice. According to Richard van Ammerzoden, a skater from Rotterdam, skating in Holland originated as a poor man's sport. Isolated by mud and water in the damp winters, rural farmers prayed for ice. When it came, just like Hans Brinker, they strapped on their wooden skates with leather thongs, and traveled great distances to visit friends and relatives they hadn't seen in months. Then they skated home. Perhaps that explains the origin of the Elfstedentocht or "Eleven Cities Tour", a 200-kilometer mega-tour in the province of Friesland known as "the mother of all skating tours." In the 1890s, some Frisian farmer with well-developed leg muscles tried to skate through all eleven cities of Friesland in a single day. He succeeded, and the rest is history.
Photo taken in Holysloot at the Holysloter Die nearby Amsterdam. Father and son skating from pittoreske village to pittoreske village having a skate-break at "Koek en Zopie". A little kiosk which is set up on the ice to dispense heart-warming liqueurs and warm soup. I really love this part of our culture. Almost everyone, young or old, likes to skate and is smiling and friendly. Dutch skaters enjoying the natural ice. Today I enjoy the natural ice too. I did skate a tour from Amsterdam - Zunderdorp - Ransdorp - Holysloot - Uitdam - Zuiderwoude - Monnickendam - Broek in Waterland -Zunderdorp and back to Amsterdam - about 40km. This photo I took on my way home to Ransdorp.
Eindelijk weer een hele week waarin Waterlanders de ijzers konden onderbinden. Ideale condities want de het meeste sneeuw is netjes weggeschoven. Overal is het ijs dik genoeg meer dan 20cm en het heeft maar liefst -20 graden Celcius gevroren de afgelopen week. De bomen en weilanden zijn wit, de sloten bevroren en de adem komt in kleine grijze pufjes uit mijn mond. Handen op de rug. Rustig ademen. Ik geniet van het geluid van de ijzers over het ijs en het prachtige uitzicht over de besneeuwde weilanden. Vandaag op 8 februari 2012 een lange schaatstocht gemaakt van Amsterdam - Zunderdorp - Ransdorp - Holysloot - Uitdam - Zuiderwoude - Monnickendam - Broek in Waterland -Zunderdorp en terug naar Amsterdam - ongeveer 40km. Jong en oud staan hier op het ijs. Het is min zeven, het is onbewolkt. Koek en zopie is present in de pittoreske dorpjes. Wat betekend nu eigenlijk zopie. zopie komt van soope en betekend borreltje. Er werd namelijk vroeger op het ijs nogal alcohol gebruikt. Tegenwoordig betekend koek en zopie: warme chocomel, koek, gluhwein, erwtensoep en een borreltje. Vader en zoon rusten even uit tijdens hun toertocht langs de leuke dorpjes van Waterland. De warme chocolademelk smaakte mij heerlijk met een beetje rum erbij. Ik ben blij dat ik vandaag geweest ben, het was fantastisch. Een winter tafereel die stamt uit dezelfde vervlogen eeuw als waarin de Amsterdammer Hendrick Avercamp begon met het schilderen van zijn vermaarde winterse schaatstaferelen. Wie even wegdenkt kan zich vandaag in Avercamps wereld wanen.

Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").
The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.
The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.
Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.
The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc
Courmayeur is an Italian town and comune in the autonomous region of Aosta Valley, in northern Italy. It is located at the foot of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in western Europe, in the Graian Alps range, and is crossed by the Dora Baltea. Courmayeur shares the summit of Mont Blanc with its neighboring commune of Chamonix in France, and owns the title of highest commune in Italy.
