This is Hohenschwangau Castle in Baviera, near Munchen.
I was very lucky that was a beautiful sunny day.. I was here for my school trip.
A person said that this photo is too much "photoshopped". I've only adjusted curves and levels. Probably this person doesn't know what is a "polarizer filter" -.-

I shot this little panorama from the Lagazuoi Refuge, that is on the peak of Mount Lagazuoi above the Falzarego Pass (Dolomites).

I went there last summer, the path to reach this point was quite frightening because of the height, that day clouds covered everything and we had to climb very carefully if we didn't want to vanish into thin air. Luckily more than half of the track was indoor, because we chose to climb into the restored tunnels, trenches and emplacements where soldiers fought the first world war.

The weather has been crazy this week! I tried to make the most of it and get among the hail and lightning

Hello!

I am finally back from my ( too short ) trip to Patagonia ( Chile & Argentina ) this mid April 2011



let me tell you a short story behind this image .. with my poor english ( I am sorry for that )

The night before we were backpacking in "Chileno " camp , shelter already closed .. no one around .. alone in the dark forest by the river .
this night was frozen , the temperature reached - 6 ° C . we were supposed to get up very early ( 5.30 AM ) to have the time to reach the peaks for sunrise ...

My friend Cyril has left the tent during the night because he was too cold .. I was looking for him at 5.30 AM .. I saw something like his headlight in the night .. I called him but no one answered ..

Then I realized .. this is not my friend and his lamp ... these are EYES .. of a creature .. staring at me .. and now it approach .. I stepped back in the tent .. with moonlight I saw the shape of a big cat x4 .. a PUMA , in fact .. ! mmh
I don't know the danger about this animal .. and I am a very anxious person .. So it was a special moment !

we finally reached the peaks just before this clear sunrise after 2h route in the forests and rocks .

The original french text is visible on my facebook page or my website ..


This is TORRES DEL PAINE . CHILE .


This image, even though maybe a bit classical in its vision , is unfortunatly almost the only one on which we can really behold the magnificience and surreal appearance of these unearthly peaks ..

We had terrible conditions during our trek , very heavy bags ( 25 Kg ) and too fast and tired on the tracks .. I would have love to capture these landscapes with dramatic light and abstract vision but I definetly need more time in the field , .. to compose, to FEEL nature around.

I hope to go back for at least 1 month .

I still have the idea of organizing a workshop there, it would be amazing ; you can send me a note if you feel interested to learn photography in these areas with me .

If you are interested to buy the picture, I have the same without the person ( me ) .

its just a personal reminder for me

ive been in Thinker mode recently == (maybe because of the exam?)
thinking is fun, yet addictive

my favorite place for going fishing, its a pier located between Bantaeng and Jenepontoh, two countries in Sulawesi, an island located on east side of Indonesian archipelago

the pier itself thrusting the shore up to 2 kilometers unto the ocean, when you get at the end of it, you're already in the middle of the sea. time seems like stopping, and once you get into the silence and peace, the things you may do are either thinking, or listening to the nature's whisper.

each time i look at the border-less sea and sky, i feel that strange indescribable feeling of missing. and perpetually come to think about what am i in this world?

its been quite a sacred place for me, a spot on the world i know where i feel most comfortable to having conversation with Him. where at some of the time i feel like jumping into the blue, and fade within that. or maybe just disappear, cause i am as mere as a atom of dust.
