This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories.
The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I know El Teide. I have to say this was one of the most exhausting trips I have done. There was a lot of hiking at high altitudes and probably less than 10 hours of sleep in total for the whole week. Having been here 10-11 times before I had a long list of must-see locations I wanted to capture for this movie, but I am still not 100% used to carrying around so much gear required for time-lapse movies.
A large sandstorm hit the Sahara Desert on the 9th April (bit.ly/g3tsDW) and at approx 3am in the night the sandstorm hit me, making it nearly impossible to see the sky with my own eyes.
Interestingly enough my camera was set for a 5 hour sequence of the milky way during this time and I was sure my whole scene was ruined. To my surprise, my camera had managed to capture the sandstorm which was backlit by Grand Canary Island making it look like golden clouds. The Milky Way was shining through the clouds, making the stars sparkle in an interesting way. So if you ever wondered how the Milky Way would look through a Sahara sandstorm, look at 00:32.
Banksy is the gold standard when it comes to urban street art. His legendary reputation has only grown since the 2010 release of his intriguing movie, "Exit Through the Gift Shop."
To promote the film, Banksy went into super-overdrive and attacked city walls across North America like there was no tomorrow. The result is an incredible collection of thought-provoking, clever work that only the brilliant Banksy could come up with. Here are Banksy's top 12 masterpieces of 2010.
11 April 2011 - Tokyo, Japan. Greenpeace radiation experts Jan Vande Putte and Rianne Teule answer questions from journalists following a press conference in Tokyo. Greenpeace announced results from extended radiation monitoring conducted in the greater Fukushima area: testing food and surface contamination, and have found radiation levels to be significant enough to call for the evacuation of pregnant women and children from high risk areas in Fukushima City and Koriyama.
- Le blog de habitat-durable.over-blog.com Les caractéristiques étonnantes du pont routier tiennent du dessin du tablier, en effet, le pont routier Térénez reproduit une courbe, ce qui en fait le premier ouvrage d’art courbe à haubans de France long de 515 mètres et possède le record du monde pour la portée. L’inauguration est prévue pour le samedi 16 février, et la circulation est ouverte ce jour… Réalisé en 4 ans pour un montant de 35 M€, cet ouvrage permettra de relier la presqu’île de Crozon au nord du Finistère et remplacera le pont actuel dont la structure a subi d’importantes dégradations.

The photographs of Russian chemist and photographer, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, show Russia on the eve of World War I and the coming of the revolution. From 1909-1912 and again in 1915, Prokudin-Gorskii travelled across the Russian Empire, documenting life, landscapes and the work of Russain people. His images were to be a photographic survey of the time. He travelled in a special train car transformed into a dark room to process his special process of creating color images, a technology that was in its infancy in the early 1900′s. Prokudin-Gorskii left Russia in 1918, after the Russian Revolution had destroyed the Empire he spent years documenting. To learn more about the Prokudin-Gorskii, the process he used to create the color photographs, and see his collection, you can visit the Library of Congress, who purchased his glass negatives in 1948 after his death in 1944.
Wednesday (March 11th), people in India and other countries with large Hindu populations celebrated Holi, the Festival of Colors. Holi is celebrated as a welcoming of Spring, and a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. What that translates to in action is an enthusiastic dropping of inhibitions, as people chase each other and playfully splash colorful paint, powder and water on each other. People also attend bonfires to commemorate the story of Prahlada, a Hindu figure and devout follower of Lord Vishnu who prevailed over his father and the demoness Holika with the power of his devotion. Collected here are photos from this year's Festival of Colors.
the Mount Hagen festival is an event to see once in a lifetime...Thousands of tribesmen coming from all over the country, dancing, singing,pride of themselves, and they can be!....
Today, we witnessed history being made. As the very first major U.S. museum exhibition of graffiti and street art, MOCA presented the media preview of Art in the Streets, an epic visual feast you must experience for yourself! Tracing the development of graffiti and street art from the '70s to where it is today, MOCA pulled out all the stops - educating us on the rich history, entertaining us with their "shows within a show" (live skateboarding, a re-creation of an urban street, etc) and inspiring us to find the artist within ourselves.
Of course, the highlight of it all is seeing the art we've featured over and over again on My Modern Met, up close and personal. Though the MOCA is filled will incredible art and photos around every corner, we couldn't help but spend a large portion of our time hanging out around original works by our favorites - Banksy and Brazilian duo Os Gemeos.
For almost four months, April 17 to August 8, 2011, Art in the Streets will be open to the public. Spend a good part of your day here to really take in all that this show has to offer. With so much to see, trust us when we say, our pictures do not do this show justice.

Tsunami, le projet. Le 11 Mars 2011, le Japon était touché par le séisme le plus important de son histoire. Nous avons tous été témoins presque en direct de la catastrophe, et nous sommes tous touchés par ce drame d’une ampleur historique, dont les conséquences restent encore floues aujourd’hui. Si les chiffres sont indéfinis, nous savons tous que les personnes qui vivent cette situation ont besoin d’aide maintenant. La communauté CFSL s’engage donc, et soutient les victimes du séisme par l’action de ses membres, qu’ils soient illustrateurs, ou scénaristes.
Les informations essentielles pour les auteurs se trouvent sur la page “Comment participer ?” Les présélections pour les enchères et le livre sont closes, vous pouvez continuer de nous envoyer vos images pour le blog cependant. Nous n’avons pas encore terminé notre sélection, vous serez prévenu par mail si vous êtes retenus.
Life as the most powerful man in the world undoubtedly brings a heavy burden, but the man dealing with that weight is very human, as a series of new photographs reveal.

Only soccer rivals cricket in transcending the world of sport to become a deeply felt expression of culture. And in cricket-mad South Asia, a frenzy of feeling for the game burst open for the past two months as the Cricket World Cup 2011 was played out in host countries India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Fourteen nations participated in the tournament, and the semifinals featured what is arguably the world's most heated sports rivalry: India vs. Pakistan. Collected here are pictures from the past few months of people playing, watching, and living cricket in several countries in South Asia.
