Bretaña Francesa - French Brittany
"I will remember for ever how I took this photo. This part of the France's coast, is very aggressive with a huge cliffs. This day the wind was blowing so much and I had to take the photo seized in a fence!. In despite of the wind I made a good composition".

Eye Of The Future
London Eye: The Eerie Version
I tend to avoid taking architectural photos unless I can alter their perception. I like making people see something in a way that they would not normally see.
As about me, I'm just an amateur photographer trying to make my hobby into a lifestyle.

High in the sky
Situated just to the north of the estuary of the river Authie, Berck has a huge expanse of sandy beach and impressive grassy-topped dunes facing north onto the English Channel. Berck comprises two parts – to the east, the old fishing town, Berck-Ville and to the west, the seaside area, Berck-sur-Mer.
Berck lies at the centre of the Marquenterre regional park.

a2942 Pelargonium Aglow
This is a macro of a deep red pelargonium from our garden shot against the light to emphasize the glow with some diffused light for rendering the textures.
I am a keen amateur with an interest in a wide range of genres from floral macros to geometrical abstraction to pure abstracts.

A perfect mirror
Magic of still water in Northern Norway...
Just before the Norwegian-Swedish border, the place is called Bjørnfjell (more or less according to the map).
Just a "normal" Norwegian landscape, doubled by the reflection. Quite a common view up here. The stillness of the water is unusual, though. Perfect place for meditation and relaxation.

" A NUBIAN LADY "
(photo: jintonic)
The Nubians (Arabic: نوبي, Nuubi) are an ethnic group in southern Egypt and northern Sudan.
The Nubian Tribes in Sudan inhabit the region between Halfa in the north to north Aldaba in the south. The main Nubian tribes are from north to south are: Halfaweyen, Sikut (Sickkout), Mahas and Danagla. They speak different dialects of the Nubian language.
In ancient times Nubians were depicted by Egyptians as having very dark skin, often shown with hooped earrings and with braided or extended hair. During the Arab invasions and settlement in Africa, ancient Nubians were famous for their skill and precision with the bow and the use of adding deadly poison to their arrows.

Welcome Sun
To the West of Amethyst Lakes in the Tonquin valley. Jasper. This photo involved hiking 2 miles in the dark with a flashlight
This photo was the culmination of a backpacking trip into the Tonquin Valley, Alberta, Canada. I rose a little more than two hours before dawn and hiked up a muddy and rocky trail with a small flashlight in order to get to the ramparts before the sun. I got to this spot about 15 minutes before the sun hit the top of the peaks and I set up my Hasselblad and Nikon D200 and began to shoot. I couldn't shoot fast enough as every few seconds I was sure that it was more beautiful than it had been just a few seconds before. After about a half an hour the Ramparts were fully illuminated and I was done. That's when I realized that all of the sweat from my hike had frozen on my body! Brrrrr! The whole time that I was shooting I could hear a Caribou belling at the top of the lake. I started to hike up to see if I could get some shots of the Caribou, but I quickly came to the realization that nothing on the trail that I could see this day would even come close to what I had just seen. The sad part of this story is that between using damaged film, and a lousy lab, several rolls of film were ruined. I plan to take some of the images down to the National Geographic lab and work with an expert to try to improve some of the images I have.
