A orillas del precioso lago Thun se encuentra el tranquilo pueblecito de Oberhofen. Este pequeño rincón es famoso por su castillo, con una pequeña torre que reposa en las aguas del lago, separado de la orilla. Esta escena es una postal muy típica suiza, al igual que su hermano mayor el castillo de Chillón en el lago Leman.
El problema es que mi visita fue a primera hora de la mañana, y el sol estaba justo donde más molesta, obligándome a disparar a contraluz. No es posible esta vista desde otra posición, salvo tomar un barco de los que cruzan el lago, pero eso no estaba en mis planes. De modo que tan sólo he podido recuperar esta toma de una foto sin contraste y con poco detalle y una luz muy mala ,pero al menos se hace uno la idea de cómo es de bonito.
Junto al castillo hay unos bonitos jardines (sobre decir que excelentemente cuidados) y unas casitas al borde del lago que quitan el hipo......

My Most Popular Images from 2012
I have never done one of these before but thought I would give it ago and reflect back on 2012. These are my most interesting images (according to Flickr) from 2012 and all of them are taken in London and mostly on the Tube, which is no surprise there :-).
I would just like to take the time to thank all of those who visit and comment on my work regularly. It really does help me alot to improve my photography and my techniques. I feel compared to previous years I am a little bit more planned in the way I do photography which I feel has vastly helped. I have also achieved more than I previously thought compared to this time last year, I have got a couple of images published in a magazine, now a Getty contributor and only recently got round to setting up my own website

I have met some great photographers and new friends in 2012 and look forward to it this year, here is to 2013!! :-)

¿Ves la nube apoyada en el Matterhorn por su cara Este?. Ese día tuvimos una suerte bárbara, porque no es fácil encontrar el Cervino con un cielo tan despejado. Lo habitual es que su cumbre se encuentre envuelta en densas nubes. Para el visitante tiene que ser frustrante llegar a Zermatt con la ilusión de contemplar esta mágica montaña y quedarse con las ganas.
Nosotros pudimos disfrutar de este sobrecogedor paisaje durante toda la mañana. Por la tarde las nubes comenzaron a cubrir la cima.
Esta postal está tomada desde el refugio de Sunnegga, estación superior del funicular subterráneo que asciende desde Zermatt y abre el camino a multitud de rutas de senderismo. Nosotros elegimos una versión corta de la ruta de los cinco lagos (nos quedamos con dos de ellos, porque ya estabamos muy cansados de la marcha del día anterior en el glaciar Aletsch.
No falta nada; la cabaña de madera, las omnipresentes flores suizas y el icono de la montaña alpina representada en el Matterhorn, con su perfil piramidal y sus nieves perpetuas.

“You will not teach anything if those who listen to you do not perceive your emotion in doing so.”
STEFANO CHIACCHIARINI
…I was looking for an aphorism on emotions, I came across this, I think it can also fit well with photography, because the photographic story that I am about to present here, on Flickr, led me to experience intense emotions while I was taking my photographs , I took photos yes, but at the same time I had to make a strong effort to repress those emotions, because they were so intense that I risked being overwhelmed by them… thus risking losing concentration on what was materializing before my eyes…. The party I attended, thus realizing this photographic series, was held at the beginning of May in the town of Melilli, which celebrates its patron saint San Sebastiano, in reality the canonical feast is held on January 20 also in Melilli, however this town in the province of Syracuse, in early May a "Big Feast" is organized to commemorate an event that seems to originate now from a historical event (it would be reported on an ancient correspondence), now from a story that has the flavor of legend : the story tells that in April 1414 a ship coming from the Adriatic Sea was wrecked on an island near the coast, there were no deaths, and the event, considered miraculous, was attributed to the presence on the ship of a statue of San Sebastiano, which was kept inside a chest, a chest that became heavily immovable by anyone who tried to lift it, the story (or legend) has it that the chest containing San Sebastiano became light only when some inhabitants of Melilli tried to lift it, a sign that the Saint wanted to be brought to that country, and so San Sebastiano was satisfied. Talking about the feast of San Sebastiano di Melilli also means talking about the so-called "nuri", a Sicilian dialect word which indicates those who "naked" come on foot (even barefoot) from numerous towns in the surrounding area, even very distant countries: in reality the custom of walking "naked" covered only by a band in correspondence with the pubic area belongs to the past, when "naked" were only male, later with the participation also of the female, the "naked" ” they have covered themselves, wearing white clothes, including a bandana, with red bands tightened around the waist and trunk, so they come on foot, even barefoot, wearing or not wearing white socks; the children cannot be missing, and since for them the journey on foot is unthinkable, the parents take turns carrying their little ones on their shoulders, even very small ones (we are talking about distances to be covered on foot of even 40 or 50 km!; the “ nuri" arrive in groups, and if all the groups, who are expected according to a precise programme, do not arrive beforehand, the procession with San Sebastiano does not begin; the "nuri (or naked)" bring with them bundles of fresh flowers, the “nuri” from Solarino bring handcrafted paper flowers with them, because due to the distance they have to cover, often under a sun in early May which can be very hot, the fresh flowers would arrive completely ruined. inside the church, they approach the float on which there is the statue of the Saint, a beautiful statue whose face is extremely sweet, not large in size, it appears covered with gold and precious objects: one witnesses a unique ritual of its kind, the devotees ask the staff present on the float to bring their objects closer to the Saint, in this way these objects are considered so blessed (I photographed a very kind and nice gentleman who explained this custom to me, he himself he had a “Sicilian puppet” blessed!). When all the various groups of "nuri" have arrived, then the procession begins, which will carry the statue of San Sebastiano to another church, from which in the late afternoon it will leave for a new procession inside the town of Melilli, to then return to the "his" church.

“Non insegnerai nulla se chi ti ascolta non percepirà la tua emozione nel farlo.”
STEFANO CHIACCHIARINI
…cercavo un aforisma sulle emozioni, mi sono imbattuto in questo, credo che possa adattarsi bene anche con la fotografia, perché il racconto fotografico che mi appresto a presentare qui, su Flickr, mi ha portato a vivere emozioni intense nel mentre scattavo le mie fotografie, scattavo le foto si, però al contempo dovevo sforzarmi fortemente nel reprimerle quelle emozioni, perché erano talmente intense che rischiavo di farmi travolgere da esse… rischiando così di perdere la concentrazione su ciò che andava materializzandosi davanti ai miei occhi…. La festa alla quale ho assistito, realizzando così questa serie fotografica, si è tenuta agli inizi di Maggio nel paese di Melilli, che festeggia il suo santo patrono San Sebastiano, in realtà la festa canonica si tiene il 20 gennaio anche a Melilli, però in questo paese della provincia di Siracusa, i primi di maggio si organizza una “Festa Grande” per rievocare un evento che sembra originare ora da un evento storico (sarebbe riportato su di un antico carteggio), ora da un racconto che ha il sapore della leggenda: la storia narra che nell’Aprile del 1414 una nave proveniente dal mar Adriatico naufragò su di un’isola nei pressi della costa, non vi furono morti, e l’evento, ritenuto miracoloso, fu attribuito alla presenza sulla nave, di una statua di San Sebastiano, che era conservata dentro una cassa, cassa che diventò pesantemente inamovibile da chiunque tentava di sollevarla, la storia (o leggenda) vuole, che la cassa contenente San Sebastiano diventò leggera solo quando alcuni abitanti di Melilli provarono a sollevarla, segno che il Santo desiderava essere portato in quel paese, e così San Sebastiano fu accontentato. Parlare della festa di San Sebastiano di Melilli, significa anche parlare dei cosiddetti “nuri”, parola dialettale siciliana che sta ad indicare coloro che “nudi” provengono a piedi (anche a piedi scalzi) da numerosi paesi del circondario, paesi anche molto lontani: in realtà l’usanza di mettersi in cammino “nudi” coperti solamente da una fascia in corrispondenza della zona pubica, appartiene al passato, quando “i nudi” erano solamente di sesso maschile, successivamente con la partecipazione anche del sesso femminile, i “nudi” si sono coperti, indossando degli abiti bianchi, inclusa una bandana, con delle fasce rosse stretta attorno alla vita ed al tronco, essi quindi vengono a piedi, anche scalzi, indossando o meno dei calzettoni bianchi; i bambini non possono mancare, e poiché per loro il tragitto a piedi è improponibile, i genitori a turni, portano in spalla i loro pargoletti, anche molto piccoli (parliamo di distanze da percorrere a piedi anche di 40 o 50 Km !; i “nuri” arrivano in gruppo, e se prima non arrivano tutti i gruppi che sono attesi secondo un programma ben preciso, la processione con San Sebastiano, non inizia; i “nuri (o nudi)” portano con se dei fasci di fiori freschi, i “nuri” provenienti da Solarino recano con se dei fiori di carta costruiti artigianalmente, poiché a causa della distanza che devono coprire, spesso sotto un sole di inizio maggio che può essere molto caldo, i fiori freschi arriverebbero completamente rovinati. I vari devoti, giunti dentro la chiesa, si avvicinano alla vara (il fercolo) sulla quale c’è la statua del Santo, una bellissima statua il cui volto è estremamente dolce, non di grandi dimensioni, appare coperto di oggetti d’oro e preziosi: si assiste ad un rito unico nel suo genere, i devoti chiedono al personale presente sulla vara di far avvicinare dei loro oggetti al Santo, in tal modo questi oggetti vengono ritenuti così benedetti (ho fotografato un gentilissimo e simpatico signore che mi ha spiegato questa usanza, egli stesso si è fatto benedire un “pupo siciliano”!). Quando tutti i vari gruppi di “nuri” sono arrivati, allora inizia la processione, che porterà la statua di San Sebastiano in un’altra chiesa, dalla quale nel tardo pomeriggio uscirà per una nuova processione dentro il paese di Melilli, per poi rientrare nella “sua” chiesa.

You ever have a location that you want to keep a secret, well here is that location for me. I mean, it's not hard to find out where this is located if you have luck on your side, as it seemed with us, but still there is that inner conflict of "where do I say this beautiful waterfall is?".
I will not be doing that though, this is Mystic Falls in Ames, Colorado. Although difficult to see, once you locate the falls from the dirt road leading into Ames, it is pretty easy to bushwack into. Yes, bushwack. There is no clearly defined trail to this waterfall, in fact bring your Chacos because you will be walking up the creek during parts of the 1/8 mile walk from the "parking lot" next to someone's house. You will have to trespass, as you will be walking through someone's property. I don't think anyone was around when we walked through, but if that is an issue, I would advise to not go looking for this waterfall. Mystic Falls is a spectacular sight though, as this canyon is really narrow, and I'm estimating the height of the falls to be around 100ft. Amazing sight! Good luck!

Bajar a esos lagos....
Ayer me quedaba en el descenso del Eggishorn, y desde allí arriba ya se divisaba la vaguada con los dos lagos (el mayor Vordersee, en dirección al glaciar Fiesch; y el Marjelensee, camino del gran glaciar Alestch).
No te darías cuenta, pero entre ambos lagos existe un pequeño refugio de madera, el Glestcherstube - una magnífica idea suiza la de poder tomarte una buena jarra de cerveza en plena ruta de montaña, todo un lujo -.
Estos lagos no necesitan descripción alguna. Ese agua pura y cristalina, reflejando como un perfecto espejo unas nubes de un cielo con interesantes formaciones nubosas, y un entorno agreste, rocoso, con poca vegetación en tonos ocres.... y la pareja de senderistas al fondo reflejados en el agua. Uhmm, creo que me gusta esta postal. De toda formas, te aseguro que mi fotografía no hace justicia a la belleza de ese paraje natural, pero esa imagen la tengo bien guardada en mi memoria.... tengo que volver a Suiza!!!.

Roque de Agando is a prominent rock formation on the island of La Gomera in the Canary Islands. It is one of La Gomera's most striking features and is frequently used as a symbol for the island.
Roque Agando is the most prominent of a group of four volcanic plugs called simply Los Roques, near the centre of the island. The others are named Roque Carmona, Roque Ojila, and Roque Zarcita. It rises directly above the main road between the island's capital San Sebastián and Garajonay National Park in the centre, which makes it a popular tourist sight.
The summit is not accessible by foot. During the 20th century, some easy rock-climbing routes were established on the peak, but climbing is now banned there, and hiking is restricted to established paths in its vicinity, as it forms part of a protected area.
Remains of aboriginal Guanche sacrificial shrines have been found on the summit. These were in good condition until the 1980s, when they were looted by a German group making a documentary film.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General view from the entry stairs of the Temple of Anahita in the ancient city of Bishapur from the 2nd century AD. Not to be confused with the Temple of Anahita in Kangavar, near Kermanshah, this temple complex is in near perfect condition because it was constructed several meters below the 'ground level' of Bishapur, and thus was completely covered by soil over the ages. The complex was only excavated in 1940 by French Archaeologist Roman Ghirshman, who was also responsible for the excavation of the Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat .
Anahita is the Zoroastrian goddess of water and fertility, and accordingly, unlike the better known Zoroastrain fire temples, this is a water temple. The small openings on each side of the square under the doorways are water outlets, and allowed the central area of the square to be flooded with water coming from the Shapur River. The doorways give acces to the underground hallway that runs around the square, matching the layout of Bishapur's Central Hall.
The triangle shaped wall might suggest a lost roof, but the temple centre court was in fact open. Two Achaemenid inspired Bull Capitals graced to top of the wall.
To light the wall of the hallway inside to doorway in the background, I used the remote flash inside the rear door. Given the distance and the strong ambient light versus the tiny built-in flash, it took several tries to get the remote flash to fire. I placed thew flas on the left side to try to shade it from the sun rays, but it only worked when a cloud passed... The same cloud also helped lower the heavy shadows on the courtyard. Technology helps, but luck helps even more!

El Zoo de Santillana del Mar es uno de "los grandes" para todo turista que visita Cantabria, junto con Cabárceno, la península de la Magdalena (uhmm.... al parecer lo más interesante de nuestra región son sus animales cautivos......). Vamos, que quien más quien menos, cuando visitas Cantabria, especialmente con niños, este pequeño zoo familiar es obligatorio.
Los de casa a veces nos vemos desplazados por los turistas, y en plena temporada solemos huir de estos lugares. Pero ahora, en este inicio de Primavera, después de la Semana Santa y antes de que lleguen los veraneantes, es el mejor momento para pasar un dia en familia.
La última vez que estuve fue en el séptimo cumpleaños de mi hija mayor, y tenía pendiente repetir con la pequeña, que ha disfrutado muchísimo (y los demás con ella).
Es un zoo pequeño, pero cuenta con una variedad inmensa de fauna y flora, y el reducido tamaño permite un contacto muy cercano con los animales.
Gracias a ello, con un pequeño teleobjetivo se pueden conseguir retratos muy atractivos.
Si no conocéis el Zoo, os recomiendo incluirlo en la ruta. No veréis grandes mamíferos (para eso está Cabárceno), pero su colección de aves, las mariposas y los primates enanos son un auténtico lujo con una variedad y calidad que no alcanzan otros centros mucho más grandes e importantes.

ENGLISH
Pere Jou i Francisco (Gracia, Barcelona, November 3 of 1891 - Sitges, April 19 of 1964) was an sculptor very tie to Sitges.
At 25 years old he knew Utrillo painter, who looked for a sculptor for the Palau Maricel that the American millionaire Charles Deering was constructing in Sitges. From 1916 to 1920, Jou carved fiftieth of capitals and other smaller works, for doors and windows, with images extracted of famous fables (of La Fontaine, Iriarte and Samaniego), or contemporary celebrities and events, or with allegorical character; many of the faces of these figures are of his workmates in the construction of the Maricel or of citizens of the city.

CASTELLANO
Pere Jou i Francisco (Gracia, Barcelona, 3 de noviembre de 1891 – Sitges, 19 de abril de 1964) fue un escultor muy vinculado a Sitges.
A los 25 años conoció al pintor Utrillo, que buscaba un escultor para el Palau Maricel que el millonario americano Charles Deering estaba construyendo en Sitges. Desde 1916 hasta 1920, Jou esculpió una cincuentena de capiteles y otras obras menores, para puertas y ventanas, con imágenes extraídas de fábulas famosas (de La Fontaine, Iriarte y Samaniego), o personajes y acontecimientos contemporáneos, o de carácter alegórico; muchos de los rostros de estas figuras son de compañeros de trabajo en la construcción del Maricel o de ciudadanos de la ciudad.
