2006-08-13T01:24:00.000-07:00

This photo of the Nilov Monastery on Stolbnyi Island in Tver Oblast, Russia, was taken by Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii in 1910 before the advent of colour photography. His process used a camera that took a series of monochrome
pictures in rapid sequence, each through a different coloured filter.
By projecting all three monochrome pictures using correctly-coloured
light, it was possible to reconstruct the original colour scene.

city of Brugge (Bruges)

2006-07-14T22:33:00.000-07:00

city of Brugge (Bruges), an hour away from Brussels,
This beautiful city transports you to the Medieval ages with its gingerbread
houses and cobble stoned streets and horse chariots doing the rounds...
The church spires and buildings look really really old (and whisper
tales of gore :) and every now and then one hears the church bell gong.
Its a kind of city where a knight in an armour would blend with the
surroundings and you feel soldiers could pop out of any corner and throw
you into the dungeons on the orders of the king. This city is called the
"Venice of the North" with canals running through the city and is a must
visit when going to Belgium. The historic centre of Bruges is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. The bistros on this city square serve a variety of
sea food, but with prices in double figures this is something I had to
skip although had Belgian waffles with rasberry sauce and whipped cream
and it was yummy, had to order another one, this time with chocolate
sauce :) Also, this place boasts of some of the best beer in the world
to wash down your meal.

the moment lightning shared the sky with a rainbow

See more incredible pictures of stormy Britain here

Lightning often occurs during heavy storms while rainbows are generally
formed after the rain has stopped, making an appearance of both
simultaneously relatively rare.

The actual electric charge in a flash of lightning comes from
particles from the sun sent out in the solar wind which gather in the
outer atmospheric layers before creating a strike.

Scientists are still divided by what actually causes lightning,
with one theory suggesting falling droplets of ice and rain become
electrically polarised as they fall through the natural electric field
in the Earth's atmosphere.

This would explain why lightning often accompanies storms and heavy
rain. The same droplets also cause the rainbow, when light from the sun
is refracted by the water to cause a spectrum.

Originally uploaded by bocavermelhal.b..

Photography taken in Nusa Dua
Bali – Indonesia

The photograph was taken handheld, panning the action of this heron was too deathly fast to have any hope of freezing the entire bird body and head in full-flight action. To take pictures of moving subjects we have several options. The most obvious is to select a fast shutter speed to freeze the subject but then in this case due to the light available at that precisely timing I would lose all the details on its face coz the picture would be too dark. Also if you stop a moving bird in its flight it will look static and lack impact. A better technique is to select a slower speed (in this case at 0.006 sec - 1/160) and I followed the bird as I took the photograph and my focus was aimed at the bird’s eye (btw you can see it is very sharp and I didn’t lost the red color). This is panning.

The Pegasus High Altitude Balloon project is a UK based amateur student run project that involves launching payloads to "Near Space" (between an altitude of 60,000ft (20km) and 325,000ft (99km). This is achieved through the use of helium weather balloons which are designed to burst at a certain height and then the payload returns to earth via parachute.

Batasia loop
Originally uploaded by Java Cafe.

There is a narrow gauge "toy train" that runs from the plains to the town of Darjeeling (yes, where the famous tea comes from) in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, in the northen part of the state of West Bengal, in India.
In 1999, UNESCO declared the Toy Train and its tracks a "World Heritage Site." After a ride aboard the Toy Train in 1895, Mark Twain is said to have remarked, "The most enjoyable day I've spent on earth is of mixed ecstacy of deadly fright and unimaginable joy."
In one section of the journey, the train climbs almost a 1,000 feet in a matter of minutes at this "Batasia Loop," where the tracks spiral around over itself through a tunnel and over a hilltop.

Rare "Rainbow"

2006-06-20T04:33:00.000-07:00

It looks like a rainbow that's been set on fire, but this phenomenon is as cold as ice.
Known in the weather world as a circumhorizontal arc, this rare sight was caught on film on June 3 as it hung over northern Idaho near the Washington State border (map of Idaho).

The arc isn't a rainbow in the traditional sense—it is caused by light passing through wispy, high-altitude cirrus clouds. The sight occurs only when the sun is very high in the sky (more than 58° above the horizon). What's more, the hexagonal ice crystals that make up cirrus clouds must be shaped like thick plates with their faces parallel to the ground.
When light enters through a vertical side face of such an ice crystal and leaves from the bottom face, it refracts, or bends, in the same way that light passes through a prism. If a cirrus's crystals are aligned just right, the whole cloud lights up in a spectrum of colors.

dhow
The dhow is the traditional Arab sailing vessel indigenous to the coasts of the Arabian peninsula, India and East Africa. Dhow captains are experts in using the wind and the monsoon to traverse extensive distances for thousands of years, dating back to the Mesopotamian empire. The efficient triangular sail is called a lateen and the traditional navigating device is the kamal which determines latitude from the the height of the Pole Star above the horizon.
