Norwegian Jade
Made by Thad Roan - Bridgepix
Norwegian Jade docked at Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. Norwegian Jade is the second of NCL's four Jewel Class ships. She was preceded in 2005 by Norwegian Jewel, then followed in 2006 by Norwegian Pearl, and in 2007 by Norwegian Gem. Each ship has unique amenities, but has a similar exterior and interior design. Norwegian Jade has a similar exterior appearance to NCL's Libra Class ships, the Norwegian Star, which entered service in 2001, and the Norwegian Dawn, which entered service in 2002. The interior design and amenities, however, are significantly different and merit Norwegian Jade having a Jewel Class designation. When built, the ship comprised the third in a series of U.S. flagged cruise ships operated by NCL America for the Hawaii market. At a cost of over half a billion U.S. dollars, the Pride of Hawaii was the largest and most expensive U.S. flagged passenger ship ever built. Her design was originally planned to be a sister ship to the Pride of America, utilizing parts from the Northrop Grumman Shipyard and the failed Project America series of ships. Later NCL America decided that it would be better to enlarge the Pride of Hawaii and make her a sister ship to the Norwegian Jewel. After delivery to NCL, she joined the Pride of America and Pride of Aloha as the final ship in the NCL America fleet. On April 11, 2007 NCL announced that Pride of Hawaii would be withdrawn from the Hawaiian market in February, 2008 and subsequently redeployed to Europe for the summer. In a press release, NCL's CEO, Colin Veitch, cited substantial 2006 losses that had been caused by downward pricing pressure in the Hawaii market following the addition of Pride of Hawaii to the fleet, as well as an increase in the amount of foreign flagged competition entering the Hawaii market from the west coast as the reason for the vessels redeployment. NCL did not commit to sending Pride of Hawaii back to Hawaii until the other NCL America vessels reach an acceptable level of profitability. (Wikipedia)

Church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Teguise Teguise is a Canarian municipality in the north-central and the eastern portion of the island of Lanzarote in the Las Palmas province in the Canary Islands. The main industries are agriculture and tourism. The Atlantic Ocean is to the northwest and east and the mountains are around the municipality. The town was founded in 1414. Teguise served as the capital of the island until the capital moved to Arrecife in 1852 (Source: Wikipedia). HDR from five bracketed exposures, on a tripod. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Teguise Templo del siglo XVI, aunque con reformas posteriores, en el centro del casco histórico. El municipio de Teguise, con sus 263 km2, es el más extenso de la isla de Lanzarote. En el interior del mismo, a los pies de la Caldera de Guanapay, se sitúa la capital municipal, la Villa de Teguise, declarada en los años 80 Conjunto Arquitectónico Histórico-Artístico. En la costa sureste del municipio se encuentra el nucleo turístico de Costa Teguise, una de las principales zonas turísticas de Lanzarote. Teguise se convirtió en la capital de la Isla aprovechando su emplazamiento geográfico central que la procuraba resguardo de las frecuentes incursiones de piratas, que aun así sacudieron a la población en varias ocasiones. En el siglo XIX, el puerto de Arrecife fue tomando un mayor peso económico y social, trasladándose la capital de la isla a dicha ciudad en 1847 (referencia: Wikipedia).

Ruta de los Volcanes - La Palma
Made by ╬Thomas Reichart ╬
The eruption of Martin de Tigalate (1646 - 1647) covered 7,5 km² of land. Today you have a marvelous view to Volcán Martín (1597 m) at the later part of a great hiking trail called Ruta de los volcanes on the Canary Island La Palma. This trail is a paradise for volcanophiles like myself as you hike from one cone to the next on the cumbre of La Palma. On the horizon in the distance you can see the island El Hierro.

Tormenta eléctrica
Made by yerayrguez
En silencio, muy solito,,, Dejando las horas pasar. En una mano, un libro... En la otra, la caña de pescar. Sentado sobre las rocas. De la playa que íbamos a pasear. Las nubes,,, vienen cargadas. ¡¡Hay la que se va a liar ¡! El cielo se ha puesto negro. Rayos, Truenos, empiezan a descargar. La lluvia cae tan fuerte... Él... no se puede resguardar. Esta foto es de las mejores que he hecho, por lo oportuno de la captura,por por su belleza y singularidad, y por la dificultad que entraño llevar a cabo esta instantanea. Siempre tengo en la cabeza un par de ideas, ideas que plasmar en una foto...esta era una de ellas.Cuando vi los relampagos y la fuerte lluvia, un escalofrio recorrio mi cuello, algo me dijo que lo iba a conseguir.Lo prepare todo y lanze el sedal, al cabo de una hora ya habia pescado un buen pez. Esta es la primera vez que fotografio un fenomeno de la naturaleza, como es una tormenta electrica.Espero que les guste y que dejen su opinion sobre la captura. Quiero dar las gracias a cestomano.com , por sus consejos sobre fotos en tormenta( mil gracias), y a la persona que estaba hablando conmigo mientras intentaba hacer la foto, y que consigio que la larga espera fuese mas amena.GRACIAS.

Teide
Made by P Rubens
1º Puesto.- IV Concurso de Paisajes Canarios Teide Situated on the island of Tenerife, Teide National Park features the Teide-Pico Viejo stratovolcano that, at 3,718 m, is the highest peak on Spanish soil. Rising 7,500 m above the ocean floor, it is regarded as the world’s third-tallest volcanic structure and stands in a spectacular environment. The visual impact of the site is all the greater due to atmospheric conditions that create constantly changing textures and tones in the landscape and a ‘sea of clouds’ that forms a visually impressive backdrop to the mountain. Teide is of global importance in providing evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1258/


Rocas del fuego y del agua
Made by Doblonaut
On Black We found this wonderful and mystic location at the last day of our vacation. It is located at the shore of Los Hervideros, where the lava of the Timanfaya eruption flew into the ocean. The picture was taken at low tide, so you can see both, the rounded pepples and rocks in the foreground and the sharp-edged lava in the background. It was hard for us to say goodbye to Lanzarote at this place, on the other hand it is a great incentive to come back again. I wanted to title this picture in spanish and hope it's passably okay :-) Photo taken at Los Hervideros, Lanzarote, Spain

Lunar Eclipse Phases
Made by Alesfra 
16 Jun, 2011. Explore #32 A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can only occur the night of a full moon. Un eclipse lunar es un evento astronómico que sucede cuando el planeta Tierra se interpone entre el Sol y la Luna, es decir, cuando la Luna entra en la zona de sombra de la Tierra. Esto sólo puede ocurrir en la fase de Luna llena.
