Santi Santi Santi: The WHO

"One of the most successful rock bands of all time will perform at an International event to celebrate 60 years of Volkswagen vans at the Hanover Exhibition Centre this weekend. The spirit of the untamed 1960s and 70s will be revived amidst five generations of Volkswagen Transporter vans and buses when Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey take to the stage.


We look forward to being part of a real cult event that is right up our alley, and we intend to rock Hanover,’ says Pete Townshend, the band’s creative mastermind.

I own a Volkswagen Bus together with my partner Rachel Fuller. And we used Volkswagen Buses as transport in our very early days as a band. It was the cool thing to do,’ the artist reminisced. It was a mobile hippy home, cult on wheels, and today, still, the Multivan is a great automobile.’

Rock legend, The Who, is tailor-made for the Volkswagen van and the special relationship between the two legends has been mirrored in several of their songs. We are thrilled that Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles can be associated with this rock-group, comments Harald Schomburg, member of the board of management of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

Volkswagen Van and Bus owners attending the event can look forward to the evening’s live gig, when The Who performs hits like My Generation’, Magic Bus’, Who are you’, Can’t explain’ and Going Mobile’."

12 Photos Of New York

This is dedicated to my beloved, a New York's fan, Alicia Keys' fan and this song's fan, who always support me.

♫ In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York ♪♪

Precious Broadway <b>Hey you, if you came here from explore page I would kindly ask you to FAVOURITE this image. This would help me a lot :) Thanks and have a nice day!</b> --- Hi everyone. Here is a new shot from my trip to the states last year. If you are like me you might like all the colors and lights. If you haven’t been to New York go there. Times Square is awesome to practice taking cool photos. The changing lights and moving people make it a hard Job. As you can see it in the left corner I have been lazy… :)  So how are you doing lately?  The best wishes to all you nice friends!

Times Square Rain Dance <b>Hey you, if you came here from explore page I would kindly ask you to FAVOURITE this image. This would help me a lot :) Thanks and have a nice day!</b> --- <b>Woow woow woow!</b>   Times Square is awesome. I shot a couple of cool images there. This is one of it. I hope you like it as much as I do.  Look at the beautiful reflections on the street… There was a women standing right beside me saying: ”Man what a bad luck you have. It has been raining the whole week and you take pictures.”  I replied: “Good Lady have a look at the beautiful reflections on the street. I think I am really lucky to be here when it rains”.  I think the image wouldn’t have been half as good if there wasn’t a Noah like rain that night.  --- At the moment I am working as an intern for an electrical company and I really have no time to edit photos. It is so sad because I really have sick material laying here on my harddisk and even more sick ideas how to bring out cool images. I really hope to find some moments in the days to come to share some of the shots with you.

The Sentinel / El Centinela Listen / Escucha <a href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=X5M46Q4POEA"><b>&quot;Sentinel&quot;</b></a> by/por Mike Oldfield  <b>Para mi hermano del alma / For my soul brother <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10523007@N06/">Juli Modul (Juli Morató Torres)</a>.</b>  <i> &quot;Cuando nuestro mundo alcanzó la mitad de su edad actual, algo que venía de las estrellas pasó a través del Sistema Solar, dejó aquella huella de su paso, y prosiguió su camino. Hasta que nosotros la destruimos, aquella máquina cumplió su cometido. Y empiezo a intuir cuál era.  Alrededor de cien mil millones de estrellas giran en el círculo de la Vía Láctea, y, hace mucho tiempo, otras razas de los mundos pertenecientes a otros soles deben de haber alcanzado y superado el estadio en el que ahora nos hallamos nosotros. Piensen en una tal civilización, muy lejana en el tiempo, cuando la Creación era aún tibia, dueña de un universo tan joven que la vida había surgido tan sólo en una infinitésima parte de mundos. La soledad de aquel mundo es algo imposible de imaginar, la soledad de los dioses que miran a través del infinito y no hallan a nadie con quien compartir sus pensamientos.  Deben de haber explorado las galaxias como nosotros exploramos los mundos. Por todos lados había mundos, pero estaban vacíos, o a lo sumo poblados de cosas que se arrastraban y eran incapaces de pensar. Así debía de ser nuestra Tierra, con el humo de los volcanes ofuscando aún el cielo, cuando la primera nave de los pueblos del alba surgió de los abismos más allá de Plutón. Rebasó los planetas exteriores apresados por el hielo, sabiendo que la vida no podía formar parte de sus destinos. Alcanzó y se detuvo en los planetas interiores, que se calentaban al fuego del Sol, esperando a que comenzara su historia.  Aquellos exploradores deben de haber observado la Tierra, sobrevolando la estrecha franja entre los hielos y el fuego, llegando a la conclusión de que aquél debía de ser el hijo predilecto del Sol. Allí, en un remoto futuro, surgiría la inteligencia; pero ante ellos quedaban aún innumerables estrellas, y nunca regresarían por aquel mismo camino.  Así pues, dejaron un centinela, uno de los millones que deben de existir esparcidos por todo el universo, vigilando los mundos en los cuales vibra la promesa de la vida. Era un faro que, a través de todas las edades, señalaba pacientemente que aún nadie lo había descubierto.  Quizás ahora comprendan por qué la pirámide de cristal fue instalada en la Luna y no en la Tierra. A sus creadores no les importaban las razas que luchaban aún por salir del salvajismo. Nuestra civilización les podía interesar tan sólo si dábamos prueba de nuestra capacidad de supervivencia, lanzándonos al espacio y escapando así de la Tierra, nuestra cuna. Este es el desafío que, antes o después, se plantea a todas las razas inteligentes. Es un desafío doble, porque depende de la conquista de la energía atómica y de la decisiva elección entre la vida y la muerte.  Una vez superado este punto crítico, era tan sólo cuestión de tiempo que descubriéramos la pirámide, y la forzásemos para ver lo que había dentro. Ahora ya no emite ninguna señal, y aquellos encargados de su escucha deben de haber vuelto su atención hacia la Tierra. Quizás acudan a ayudar a nuestra civilización, aún en su infancia. Pero deben de ser viejos, muy viejos, y a menudo los viejos son morbosamente celosos de los jóvenes.  Ahora ya no puedo mirar la Vía Láctea sin preguntarme de cuál de esas nebulosas estelares están acudiendo los emisarios. Si me permiten hacer una comparación bastante vulgar, hemos tirado del aparato de alarma, y ahora no podemos hacer otra cosa más que esperar.  No creo que tengamos que esperar mucho.&quot;</i>  Fragmento del cuento  <a href="http://www.apocatastasis.com/el-centinela-the-sentinel-arthur-clarke.php">&quot;El Centinela&quot;</a>, Arthur C. Clarke, 1957    <i>&quot;When our world was half its present age, something from the stars swept through the Solar System, left this token of its passage, and went again upon its way. Until we destroyed it, that machine was still fulfilling the purpose of its builders; and as to that purpose, here is my guess.  Nearly a hundred thousand million stars are turning in the circle of the Milky Way, and long ago other races on the worlds of other suns must have scaled and passed the heights that we have reached. Think of such civilizations, far back in time against the fading afterglow of Creation, masters of a universe so young that life as yet had come only to a handful of worlds. Theirs would have been a loneliness we cannot imagine, the loneliness of gods looking out across infinity and finding none to share their thoughts.  They must have searched the star-clusters as we have searched the planets. Everywhere there would be worlds, but they would be empty or peopled with crawling, mindless things. Such was our own Earth, the smoke of the great volcanoes still staining the skies, when that first ship of the peoples of the dawn came sliding in from the abyss beyond Pluto. It passed the frozen outer worlds, knowing that life could play no part in their destinies. It came to rest among the inner planets, warming themselves around the fire of the Sun and waiting for their stories to begin.  Those wanderers must have looked on Earth, circling safely in the narrow zone between fire and ice, and must have guessed that it was the favorite of the Sun’s children. Here, in the distant future, would be intelligence; but there were countless stars before -them still, and they might never come this way again.  So they left a sentinel, one of millions they have scattered throughout the Universe, watching over all worlds with the promise of life. It was a beacon that down the ages has been patiently signaling the fact that no one had discovered it.  Perhaps you understand now why that crystal pyramid was set upon the Moon instead of on the Earth. Its builders were not concerned with races still struggling up from savagery. They would be interested in our civilization only if we proved our fitness to survive -by crossing space and so escaping from the Earth, our cradle. That is the challenge that all intelligent races must meet, sooner or later. It is a double challenge, for it depends in turn upon the conquest of atomic energy and the last choice between life and death.  Once we had passed that crisis, it was only a matter of time before we found the pyramid and forced it open. Now its signals have ceased, and those whose duty it is will be turning their minds upon Earth. Perhaps they wish to help our infant civilization. But they must be very, very old, and the old are often insanely jealous of the young.  I can never look now at the Milky Way without wondering from which of those banked clouds of stars the emissaries are coming. If you will pardon so commonplace a simile, we have set off the fire-alarm and have nothing to do but to wait.  I do not think we will have to wait for long.&quot;</i>  Fragment of the short story <a href="http://econtent.typepad.com/TheSentinel.pdf"> &quot;The Sentinel&quot;</a>, Arthur C.

Morning on Haleakala From the top of Haleakala, East Maui volcano. At 10,000 feet, the air is thin, and before dawn it is very cold, too. You are surrounded by an eerie silence disturbed only by the sound of your own breathing. I arrived while it was still dark, along with many others who had come to witness the spectacle. As dawn broke, a fellow next to me proposed marriage to his girlfriend, but I didnt find out about this until afterwards, I was so excited taking pictures. The starburst pattern is caused by diffraction on the lens aperture blades. No filter was used or post-processing was done.

The Bahai Temple at Blue Hour View Large on Black at <a href="http://www.thewindypixel.com" rel="nofollow">www.thewindypixel.com!</a>  &quot;Sometimes you just get lucky&quot;: I’ve mentioned before how the light was relatively poor while I was photographing the Baha’i House of Worship in Wilmette. There was no sunrise and I missed the five seconds of great light by being on the wrong side of the building. Despite these setbacks, I came away with a few great images, predominately because the temple is simply stunning. I was taking a few photographs from whatever vantage points weren’t blocked off by a winter’s worth of deep freeze, trying for something specific.  Sometimes when you’re trying really hard to do one thing (get a shot of the white stone temple silhouetted against a pitch black sky) you luck out and get something that is quite the opposite, but better than you could have hoped for. A low cloud ceiling, sodium vapor lights, tungsten white-balance, and a rather nasty bit of lens flare coming off the ridiculous front element of the 14mm all intersected to create some very beautiful colors and shapes in the sky behind the temple. This would be an all-time favorite of mine were the foreground to be more interesting. Perhaps I should drop it to black with a little photoshop magic …. :)

Ir de tapas, Valladolid (Spain) HDR Tapas is the name of a wide variety of appetizers, or snacks, in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or warm. In Spain, dinner is usually served between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. (sometimes as late as 12 midnight), leaving significant time between work and dinner. Therefore, Spaniards often go &quot;bar hopping&quot; (Spanish: Ir de tapas) and eat tapas in the time between finishing work and having dinner. Since lunch is usually served between 1 and 3 p.m., another common time for tapas is weekend days around noon as a means of socializing before lunch proper at home (excerpt Wikipedia).

Tradicionalmente, la forma habitual de consumirla es tomando una o dos por local junto con la bebida y luego desplazándose a otro bar, donde se repite el proceso. A este consumo itinerante (local, consumición y nuevo local) se le llama tapeo, o ir de tapas, y puede alargarse durante tanto tiempo como quieran los participantes y queden locales abiertos; en muchas regiones de España es bastante habitual salir a cenar o a comer los fines de semana a base de tapeo (Wikipedia).

Da qui, infatti una strada percorre la Valle dIntelvi, che congiunge il lago di Como a quello di Lugano.  Argegno dista 20 km. da Como, da cui può essere raggiunto percorrendo la statale Regina, che prende il nome dallantica via Regia romana che portava a Chiavenna e a Coira, e di cui segue il tracciato. La valle è gremita di paesi e comprende sia località turisticamente note come Castiglione, S.Fedele, Lanzo, che borghi tranquilli e riposanti. Punti di eccezionale bellezza sono i Belvedere di Pigra, verso il Lago di Como, e di Lanzo, verso il lago di Lugano.  Molto pittoresco è lantico borgo del paese che, attraversato dal torrente Telo, è diviso in due parti collegate da un vecchio ponte in pietra a sesto acuto.  Lorigine romana del paese è attestata da alcuni ritrovamenti di lapidi, le cui iscrizioni fanno riferimento al console Publio Cesio Archigene. Argegno è stato fin dallantichità un centro fortificato, la sua posizione strategica giocò un ruolo fondamentale nell ambito della guerra fra i Rusca e i Vittani, nel 1335 si consegnò insieme a tutti i comuni di Como ai signori di Milano e divenne proprietà dei Visconti.  Da Argegno si può salire in funivia fino a Pigra 881 m. situata su di un altopiano da cui si gode un bellissimo panorama del lago di Como.  Da vedere il Santuario di S. Anna, edificio settecentesco, che conserva allinterno stucchi e affreschi del settecento.  Ogni paese della valle ci regala qualcosa dal punto di vista dellabilità artigiana che molto spesso si innalza a vera e propria opera darte.  Tra le più famose famiglie di artisti vanno ricordati i Carloni di Scaria, i Solari di Verna, i Quaglio e i Barberini di Laino, Bregno di Osteno.  --- ARGEGNO Argegno is one of Lario’s most frequented places, as a place to stay as well as to stop in to visit. Actually from here a road travels the Valle dIntelvi (Intelvi Valley), which connects Lake Como with that of Lugano.  Argegno is 20 km. from Como, from which can be reached by travelling the statale (state road) Regina, which takes its name from the ancient Roman via Regia that lead to Chiavenna and to Coira, and follows its route. The valley is full of towns and includes noted tourist localities such as Castiglione, S.Fedele, and Lanzo, as well as calm and relaxing villages. Points of exceptional beauty are Belvedere (Terrace with a view) di Pigra, towards Lake Como, and Belvedere di Lanzo, towards Lugano’s lake. Very picturesque is the ancient village of the town which, having crossed the Telo torrent, is divided into two parts connected by an old, pointed-arch stone bridge. The town’s Roman origin is testified to by a few discoveries of gravestones, the inscriptions of which refer to the consul Publio Cesio Archigene. Argegno has since ancient times been a fortified centre, its strategic position played a fundamental role in the course of the war between the Rusca and the Vittani, in 1335 it surrendered together with all the towns of Como to the Lordship of Milan and became property of the Visconti.  From Argegno you can climb in the cableway to Pigra (881 mt) located on a plateau from which a beautiful panorama of Lake Como can be enjoyed. The Santuario di S. Anna (St. Anna Sanctuary), an 18th century building, which conserves in its interior stuccoes and frescos of the 1700s, is a must-see.  Every town of the valley offers us with something from the artisan ability point of view, which often is elevated to a downright work of art. Among its most famous artist families should be mentioned the Carloni of Scaria, the Solari of Verna, the Quaglio and Barberini of Laino, and Bregno of Osteno.
