Las Torres Kio, Plaza de Castilla, al norte de Madrid. Su inclinación permite que se reflejen las casas más bajas de enfrente que se ven con una perspectiva muy distinta en la foto anterior.
Abajo una vista más global para poder distiguir todos los elementos.
The Kio towers, Plaza de Castilla, north of Madrid. Their inclination permits the reflection of the lower houses near-by, which can be seen on the before-going photo from a completely different perspective.
Below a global view of all the elements.
The 1950s was the decade that started on January 1, 1950 and ended on December 31, 1959. During the early 1950s in Europe the 'reconstruction' started and in the United States manufacturing and home construction was on the rise as the American economy was on the upswing. The Korean War and the beginning of the Cold War created a politically conservative climate. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States played out through the entire decade.
Conformity and conservatism characterized the social mores of the time. The 1950s in the developed western world are generally considered both socially conservative and highly materialistic in nature.
The beginning of decolonization in Africa and Asia occurred in this decade and accelerated in the following decade of the 1960s.
Arts and Culture in a global view have been deeply improuved.
I prefer capturing details of mountains but showing a few global view of Retezat Mountains, i think, is a must.
The weather was excellent and my solo trip (south-north crossing) ended after 7 days, when my food was over. My performance at near 65 was quite good ( :D ) and some captures from the nearly 600, i hope will be so.

Description: This image shows a view of the Earth on September 21, 2005 with the full Antarctic region visible.
Abstract: In support of International Polar Year, this matching pair of images showing a global view of the Arctic and Antarctic were generated in poster-size resolution. Both images show the sea ice on September 21, 2005, the date at which the sea ice was at its minimum extent in the northern hemisphere. The color of the sea ice is derived from the AMSR-E 89 GHz brightness temperature while the extent of the sea ice was determined by the AMSR-E sea ice concentration. Over the continents, the terrain shows the average landcover for September, 2004. (See Blue Marble Next Generation) The global cloud cover shown was obtained from the original Blue Marble cloud data distributed in 2002. (See Blue Marble:Clouds) A matching star background is provided for each view. All images include transparency, allowing them to be composited on a background.

After that iconic shot I upped earlier, I tried out some more long exposure shots of the cube houses. I made several shots with a global view, not specifically centred. Just 1 came up as a good shot, the cube houses wasn't that easy to manage.
This art is an collaboration work with a very talented artist from flickr: Gosia Janik
It's a serie that I make with friends who live in different countries, and Im liking the results from the mix of different cultures in one art, combining with the global view that we have today.

A picture of twin lakes taken from the top of the waterfall, a global view of the chain of lakes, forests and mountain peaks. The cloudy sky is reflected on the waters.

Gaze into my crystal ball....
A newly 'discovered' delight for me, photographing through a crystal ball.
A cruise ship - Ocean Majesty alongside a war ship - HMS Belfast on the River Thames. It seems ironic to have this two ships side by side, but to think on a global view it somehow depicts the sort of world that we live in. While others thrive on war, the others also go to war to preserve peace and the rest would merely choose peace.
I wished you all have a peaceful Thursday.
The night side of Earth twinkles with light, and the first thing to stand out is the cities. “Nothing tells us more about the spread of humans across the Earth than city lights,” asserts Chris Elvidge, a NOAA scientist who has studied them for 20 years.
This new global view and animation of Earth’s city lights is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite. The data was acquired over nine days in April 2012 and thirteen days in October 2012. It took satellite 312 orbits and 2.5 terabytes of data to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth’s land surface and islands. This new data was then mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery of Earth to provide a realistic view of the planet.
The nighttime view in visible light was made possible by the new “day-night band” of Suomi NPP’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite. VIIRS detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight. This low-light sensor can distinguish night lights with ten to hundreds of times better light detection capability than scientists had before.
Named for satellite meteorology pioneer Verner Suomi, NPP flies over any given point on Earth&rsquos surface twice each day at roughly 1:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The polar-orbiting satellite flies 824 kilometers (512 miles) above the surface as it circles the planet 14 times a day. Data is sent once per orbit to a ground station in Svalbard, Norway, and continuously to local direct broadcast users around the world. The mission is managed by NASA with operational support from NOAA and its Joint Polar Satellite System, which manages the satellite's ground system.

Le sémaphore : Construit en 1906, au bout de la pointe pour bénéficier d'une vue globale sur le goulet de Brest et le chenal du Four, le sémaphore actuel fait 39 mètres de haut et possède des logements de guetteurs. Il ne se visite pas, mais on peut en faire le tour.
L'abbaye : L’abbaye, de construction romane et gothique, daterait du 11e siècle. Des moines bénédictins l'ont occupée jusqu'à la Révolution française, assurant le rôle de surveillance du littoral en entretenant un feu en haut d’une tour, « ancêtre » du phare actuel.
Le phare : En 1250, les moines de l'abbaye allument un feu en haut d'une tour afin de guider les navires. Quelques siècles plus tard, en 1835, le phare actuel est allumé. Haut de 37 mètres, il culmine à 58 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer et signale la route à suivre pour entrer dans le goulet de Brest (grâce notamment à son alignement avec le phare du Portzic). Électrifié en mars 1937, il est automatisé en 1996 et télécontrôlé depuis 2005. Il est classé au titre des Monuments Historiques depuis novembre 2010.
The semaphore: Built in 1906, at the end of the point to benefit from a global view on the Brest gully and the channel of the Four, the current semaphore is 39 meters high and has watchmen's quarters. It can not be visited, but we can go around it.
Abbey: The abbey, of Romanesque and Gothic construction, dates from the 11th century. Benedictine monks occupied it until the French Revolution, assuming the role of surveillance of the littoral by maintaining a fire at the top of a tower, "ancestor" of the current lighthouse.
The lighthouse: In 1250, the monks of the abbey light a fire at the top of a tower to guide the ships. A few centuries later, in 1835, the current lighthouse was lit. At 37 meters above sea level, it is 58 meters above sea level and indicates the road to follow in order to enter the Brest gulf (thanks in particular to its alignment with the Portzic lighthouse). Electrified in March 1937, it is automated in 1996 and telecontrolled since 2005. It is classified as Historic Monuments since November 2010.
