My nomination for the worst track in the 70's.

Built on landfill, I think in Menlo Park at U. S. 101 and 84. I raced there once at a CMC sponsered event. As the day wore on, garbage was exposed and flung all over the place. Note the tin can to the right of the front riders.

I work for AND (Associated Northcliffe Digital), the web R'n'D wing of the Daily Mail and General Trust. I'm only uploading this for the group, and to capture my desk while it's still clean. I just moved desks 2 days ago. I've moved from downstairs to upstairs and from 'Development' to 'Projects'. Same job though, pretty much. There's probably only my good mate Duncan who draws more power in our office. The guys in IT (how-do Mr. Rodda) used to call my old desk 'The Shanty Town'...

Lunar world

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.

The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.

The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.

The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.

Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.

The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.

The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

Robert Englund.

Por Alejandro Jasso, Periodico El Norte.

Monterrey, Mexico (14 junio 2008).- Robert Englund se llevara a Monterrey para siempre a traves de una sesion de fotos que se hizo en diferentes locaciones de la Ciudad.

El fotografo Carlos Bravo fue el elegido por el mismo actor para trabajar con el en el Paseo Santa Lucia y el Barrio Antiguo el viernes por la tarde.

El artista regiomontano se dedica a hacer fotos oscuras y de terror por lo que fue contactado por los organizadores del Horror Fest para participar con una exposicion en este evento.

La idea era que Bravo presentara algunas de las obras que ha hecho en el evento, pero cuando Englund las vio, el mismo quiso que le tomara algunas para que tambien fueran expuestas.

"Me dijo que que me parecia si haciamos algo de fotos en algun momento de estos tres dias que estaria aqui, y yo le dije que encantado, asi que nos fuimos a Santa Lucia", conto Bravo.

El concepto que manejo el fotografo fue el de transformar a Englund en un vendedor de globos con planes de robarse a una nina, que en este caso fue su hija, Kaila Bravo, de cuatro anos.

"Estuvimos en una casa abandonada que nos prestaron unos amigos mios y quedamos muy satisfechos con el resultado. Robert estuvo encantado con las locaciones y con la sesion en si que apenas duro unos 40 minutos la tarde del viernes", explico.

"Tambien le encanto la nina, dijo que estaba muy admirado por lo bien que era capaz de actuar para las fotografias".

Quienes deseen apreciar una serie de 10 fotografias con el actor, lo podran hacer en el Horror Fest en Cintermex, donde tienen un espacio desde ayer por la tarde.

Toyoko Line Above, Road Below: Shibuya, Tokyo

I find Tokyo the most amazing place for 'levels', whether it be amazing, tiny restaurants tucked away on the 7th Floor of a building that is just a few metres wide. Or like this; trains on top, cars below. This isn't the most profound example of the phenomenon: I know somewhere near Hamamatsucho where you can see the train, three levels of motorway, the monorail and the canal all in one eyeful.

This is the Toyoko Line platform for trains heading towards Daikanyama, shot from the footbridge outside the station that crosses the main road intersection.

Still Running

View On Black ~ In the Hyde Park neighborhood, by the IC Tracks. Seen better days on the outside, but still runs the streets. Compared to todays cars, this is like driving a tank. A real "heavy Chevy."

I once rode to go fishing in Wisconsin in a car like this. I was 11 or so. and it was 1962 or '63. It was at night and we drifted in and out of fog banks on two lane blacktops at 110 mph. Heaven help whatever we hit, was the thinking, I suppose.

All the adults were drunk. We were flying along dark back country roads. The smell was a seductive mixture of bay rum hair oil, perfume, whiskey and coke, and Chesterfield and Camel smokes combined with the heady, deep-and-musty, earth-scent of Wisconsin farmland, and stands of pine and fir trees. Sleep was my only defense. That and "He's So Fine." by the Chiffons as it played over the tinney-sounding AM radio.

I don't think I ever told my mom and dad about this one. They may have been pissed. Then again, in 1963 people were more - forgiving - of having their children around adults doing "adult" things. As long as we survived, I guess.

I must admit I look back on that trip with great fondness.

At the school gates

I saw this dog lying next to a school gates. I was tempted to photograph it and as soon as I took my camera the dog sit down and watched across my shoulder. There was it's mistress coming after she left her child in the school. She asked why i was photographing her dog and I said that it was lying so beautifully so I thought it would be nice. To my excitement she was more than happy about it because this dog is already very old and as she said, it's model days are over, so the dog uses every possibility to be noticed.

I actually believe that age adds something very rich to the every creation on our land. You can see it in it's eyes.

Golden Gate Bridge at Dusk, Dedicated to My Good Friend Robert Scoble

Had a great night tonight hanging out with Robert Scoble. Robert's been a good friend for a while. We originally met at a geek dinner he put on a few years back. He's put on quite a few subsequently. Robert was one of the guys at Microsoft who really got blogging and opened a lot of doors there for me to better understand and interact with the company. He's left Microsoft now (as everyone knows of course) and is working for PodTech. It's an interesting company that is doing a lot of interesting things in video. They are becoming a network of sorts of interesting hosted video. With Robert on board expect great things from the company.

Scoble was at TechCrunch7 and filmed it but it was super noisy at the party and difficult to really have a conversation. We spent a good three hours or so tonight though just talking one on one about photography, video, photo sharing sites, etc.

Scoble was filming me for a video he's putting together on some of the stuff I've done with digital photography for his new show on PodTech which will launch in mid-September. Be sure to check in with Pod-Tech next month if you want to see a video of our shoot. We decided to do our photo shoot together down by the Golden Gate Bridge -- and what a fantastic night it was.

The weather was warm and a beautiful bank of clouds rolled in over the bridge as we shot and talked a ton about digital photography. It really was one of the best nights to shoot the bridge. I always enjoy talking about photography with Robert. He used to work in a camera store and likes to photo geek out and talk about things like prime lenses and the what not.

Afterwards we took a walk up Chestnut Street and had dinner at Andale, a nice Mexican Restaurant. Man Robert is a fast blogger. He blogged about our photowalk right there while we had dinner.

It was great to catch up with Robert and hang out one on one. For a set of some of the images from tonight Click through here.

Update: Several of my images, including this one, were used in Channel 4 documentary 'Floods: The Year Britain Went Under' alongside an Interview with myself. Documentary broadcast 27 December 07 at 8pm.

You can watch a clip from the doc which includes my interview and photos Here. I'm after the section with Mark shaw from the Fire & Rescue Service.

As well as my digi gear i took a 4x5 Speed Graphic and some polaroid film with me...i had a very heavy bag!! I also have this on type 55 which i'll be posting soon. I thought the negs were ruined and had to rescue them from the bin.

With fear that the Dam at Ulley would burst at any moment the M1 motorway was closed. For those that don't know this is probably one of the busiest roads in the UK linking London to the North of the country.

It was very odd not having any traffic on here. So i took the opportunity to ride my BMX down there. I'm told i was filmed by the BBC helicopter and broadcast live.

Some Police stopped me....but only asked if i was having a nice time! They also said it was costing?14,000 per minute to keep the motorway closed....it was closed for several days!

This little waterfall is hidden on the far East end of Lake Superior's Miners Beach. The Pictured Rocks get their name because many of the sandstone formations and walls have been stained red, orange, black, white, and green from traces of minerals.

30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin and the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London's main financial district, the City of London, completed in December 2003 and opened on 28 April 2004. It is 180 metres (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolised the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London.

The building was designed by Lord Foster, his then business partner Ken Shuttleworth,[1] and Arup engineers, and was constructed by Skanska of Sweden in 2001–2004.

Seems like you guys are quite a sucker for wide angle sky shot :P so here's another one I managed to dig out in my 2008 folder. I didn't find anything interesting about this shot..no focus of subject in the foreground too but what the heck... wide angle takes it all lol! Have a great day & evening ahead everyone!

An Evening at Maslin Beach, South Australia

The Shot

Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) with tripod using Sigma DC HSM 10-20mm lens

Photomatix

- Tonemapped generated HDR using Detail enhancer option

Photoshop

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast for the sky

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (blues) to lighten the sky

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (yellows) to tone down the sunburst

- Added 1 layer mask effect of 'saturation' (reds) to decrease the sand tone

- Used a slight amount of 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer

Maybe still sleeping or gone for a walk! this is one of the bedrooms rather rooms in the abandoned Mitre Hotel.

Shot with the D80 a while back....been busy and hopefully get some shots this weekend with my new cam. I also needed a break from landscapes ;-)

This is a 7 exposure blended composite. NO HDR - for a reason...wanted only the light and certain sections to stand out. HDR would have been great here for another POV....details and in bringing out overall run down state.

The Gardener is a store in the San Francisco Ferry Building that celebrates beautiful and useful things for the home and garden. The Marketplace shop, located in the Nave, offers a refreshing shopping experience for city dwellers seeking uniquely crafted tabletop, cooking, dining, and garden items—from garden tools and baskets, to handmade ceramics and linens, to distinctive furniture. The merchandise changes with the seasons and immediately wins the hearts of those who share a gardener's aesthetic and spirit.

The Ferry Building store is the third The Gardener store in the Bay Area. The first opened in Berkeley in 1984, as the inspired vision of owner Alta Tingle. Alta broke new ground by connecting house to garden with her unique aesthetic for functional objects that serve to enrich the everyday experience. The original store on Fourth Street endures as a nationally-acclaimed and locally-beloved mecca for discerning shoppers. A second store, which opened in 1998, resides in a barn amidst a bountiful garden in the wine country town of Healdsburg—one hour north of San Francisco.

Oslo Plaza Hotel

Larger view

Oslo, Norway. Commonly known just as the "Oslo Plaza hotel ", the formal name at the time of writing is "Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel". SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System, not the UK elite soldiers ;-) have long since been out of the picture, so the hotel will soon be renamed "Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel" - the "Blu" sign seems to have been designed purely to replace the SAS logo without creating a visibly different expression.

The Plaza is Norway's tallest building and largest hotel.

The building is 117 meters tall.

No one would have noticed if I hadn't told you, but this is shot through a window.

It's not really a surprise the night life is kind of big here in Tokyo.

I am not a big fan of coin bars and night clubs. I don't really spent all my week ends doing that but time to time it would be nice if I can go to Shibuya, Shinjuku and meet new people.

Anyway if you the chance to travel here you should try once!

Hotel Europe

Hotel Europe

LARGE ON BLACK (press F11 for full screen view)

What wiki says:

Hotel Europe is a six-story heritage building located at 43 Powell Street (at Alexander) in the Gastown area of Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was commissioned by hotelier Angelo Calori and built in 1908 - 1909 by Parr and Fee Architects. Situated on a triangular lot, the building is designed in the flatiron style. It was the first reinforced concrete structure to be built in Canada and the earliest fireproof hotel in Western Canada. Contractors had to be brought in from Cincinnati, Ohio for the necessary expertise; the Ferro-Concrete Construction Company began this project six years after constructing the first tall concrete building in the world.

With funding from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the building was renovated in 1983 as affordable housing with A. Ingre and Associates as the project designers. The residential units are now managed by the Affordable Housing Society. A beer parlour formerly existed below the ground floor, which included areaways extending underneath the above sidewalks. To prevent a cave-in from the weight of pedestrians and above ground traffic, the City of Vancouver filled the areaway in with pea gravel at a cost of $215,000, which presumably can be easily removed in the event of future restoration.

The Hotel Europe was one of the filming location for the suspense movie The Changeling. In it, the building houses the Seattle Historical Society, but the hotel sign can be seen on the right side facade of the building in some takes. Some scenes are set on its spectacular roof terrace.
