The Colorado River as it flows through the Big Bend above Moab, Utah. This canyon wall is one of the boundaries for Arches National Park. While this section seems calm, rafting has been exciting with the higher water.
As always, thanks so much for taking a look.

Hope everyone has a great Thursday. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all. We are back in San Francisco with house guests arriving tomorrow, so I will catch up over the next few days.

It is a simple picture of the village where I was born in Portugal named Vista Alegre where remains one of the most famous porcelain factories.
Time runs and people change, and today some old worker homes as well as other century-old buildings are about to be demolished...

"Over the life, on the work and in love nothing is eternal and granted. From one moment to the next everything can be shattered into a thousand pieces like a beautiful and delicate biscuit." - Manuel Valente Franco Morgado (my childhood friend)

A casa do Rio: (Pequeno relato feito pelo médico João de Almeida)
"Corria o ano de 1929 quando a região de Vagos (especialmente, mas não só) foi atingida por uma grave epidemia de tifo - doença transmitida pelo piolho. Não havendo, na altura cura para este mal, era a prevenção a única arma de que se dispunha. Assim sendo e devido ao facto de a fábrica da Vista Alegre ter muitos trabalhadores oriundos desta região, foram criados dois pontos por onde, obrigatoriamente, passavam todas as pessoas e onde, para além do banho e desinfecção com criolina ... mudavam de roupa. Um dos pontos era esta casa, o outro o palheiro onde hoje se encontra o ... Palheiro. Assim se conseguiu que a doença não dizimasse a nossa gente."
This is the State park I went to on Sunday. The park was beautiful and clean. There was a great trail along the river but I didn't get far before it started to rain..;( Nonetheless, I still got lots of pictures..;)
the Colorado River as it flows through Hal Canyon near Moab, Utah
Beginning our annul trek to our winter nest in Arizona tomorrow. I may be out of contact for awhile. Catch up when we get internet service. Staying near Sedona for 3 weeks in deep canyon country along the Verde River. Beautiful but no internet.....
Very often I go down to this little river which is near my house. Here it´s possible to enjoy the silent nature and to go for a walk.
In this song tells Bruce Springsteen the story when he went to The River, where he spent time with Mary.

Going to shuffle between my Bangkok travel shots and my Bangalore travel shots. Here's a nice one of River Kwai on a lovely sunny day.
Things I have learned as a photographer: I can be a very patient person when it comes to trying again and again to get my shot right. I am not a very patient person when it comes to waiting over 30 seconds for an exposure to finish, however. I wanted a water-like-glass effect for this outlet of the Boise River in Veterans Memorial State Park, so I broke out the ND3.0 filter, but even with the ISO pumped up to 200 or 320, the exposures were taking 60-90 seconds, and I was having a difficult time focusing or composing my shot even with Live View.
So, I switched to my ND1.2 filter (see, I did say I've become a patient person!), but not only did 6 seconds not seem enough, but the colors seemed a lot more washed out, so I switched back to 3.0 and resigned myself to taking the filter on and off to compose/focus (hashtag patience). But when I was looking at the photos on the computer, not only could I not see a difference in the water smoothness from 6 seconds to 90 seconds (a useful discovery!), but I liked the composition from the ND1.2 shot a lot more. The washed out colors were still not ideal, but some processing took care of that.
Adirondacks, NY
After a day of storms, I headed north with a weather report promising sun, and a hope that the foliage would still be good. As the front moved through, the winds were all at high altitudes, so while I was planted in relative calm, the show in the sky moved very rapidly. The morning sun finally cleared the ridges behind me, only to be obscured by clouds moving so fast that the landscape was intermittently in shadow and light and back again. I shot several series as different parts of the scene were spotlighted; this particular was my favorite, color highlighting the center and creating a glow seemingly behind the forest on either bank while the foreground chilled in shadow. The Ausable River is like a meadow stream in this section, broad and slow, it's flatness a wonderful mirror of the world, the dark water reflecting the light from without. Sometimes I feel the same, but the chiaroscuro is within coming out, not a reflection, but a force of it's own. Or is it? I bask in shadow and light.
My feet were completely numb when I climbed out of this river. Now it's my heart. I was blissfully unaware of the tragedy that had unfolded in Connecticut as I fought to clear the mist from my lens and get a clear picture. My prayers go out to all those broken families and to our broken country. Like the assassination of JFK and 9/11, I will not forget where I was or what I was doing when I learned the shocking, horrific, awful news.
A slice of the Madison River seen on the way from West Yellowstone to Madison Junction. The sun was setting casting a nice glow.
Thanks for taking a look!
The river Derwent in Borrowdale looks very serene but two weeks earlier it had swollen to 3 metres from its normal depth of 0.5 metres after 200mm of rain in 24 hrs fell on the Borrowdale valley and the surrounding mountains
The River Blackwater rises on the Cork Kerry border. It flows in County Cork through the towns of Mallow and Fermoy, then onto County Waterford through the towns of Ballyduf, Lismore and Cappoquin and finally enters the sea at Youghal.
When one thinks about tourism in Ireland, names like Killarney, Connemara, West Cork and Donegal might spring to mind, but when you ask someone in the know where is the best place for fishing in Ireland, where are the best places for horse riding, canoeing, kyaking, golf, walking, cycling, mountain biking or eating out - somewhere along the Blackwater Valley will be mentioned.
The landscape along the valley is as varied as the industries and people who live there. Strong traditions for theatre, music, dance, sport and fishing have sprung up all along the valley. While tour busses criss-cross the Valley on their way to the 'tourist destinations', those who know better settle in for a wonderful time in the Valley.
Thanks everyone for comments, favs.
NorthEast Greece.
The Nestos (Greek: Νέστος) or Mesta (Bulgarian: Места), is a river in Bulgaria and Greece. It rises in the Rila Mountains and flows into the Aegean Sea near the island of Thasos. It plunges down towering canyons toward the Aegean Sea through mostly metamorphic formations. At the end, the main stream spreads over the coastal plain of Chrysoupolis and expands as a deltaic system with freshwater lakes and ponds forming the Nestos delta.The length of the river is 230 km, of which 126 km in Bulgaria and the rest in Greece.
To the right of the shot you will see some flat rocks, this is the path that juts out round the rock face, about 5 feet up from the water, which isn't that high but it had been raining and it was rather slippery. You will see that there are metal handles in the rock to hold on to - thank goodness otherwise there is no way I would have gone that way! The path led along the river from Beddgelter to Nantmor which is only 1.5 miles but when you have to watch every step so you don't slip or fall, it takes a while - we walked back the easy way!
These trees are situated near the Persley Bridge.
Reason why I like them? - they look different as the light and seasons change and create great reflections
