~~ Stairway to heaven ~~
Made by Julien Ratel ( In Iceland )
Led Zeppelin: Stairway to heaven Theres a lady whos sure All that glitters is gold And shes buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven. Theres a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook Theres a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. Theres a feeling I get When I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who standing looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And its whispered that soon If we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. If theres a bustle in your hedgerow Dont be alarmed now, Its just a spring clean for the may queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run Theres still time to change the road youre on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it wont go In case you dont know, The pipers calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How evrything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And shes buying a stairway to heaven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Discover My whole photostream on darckr

||=========================================|| For my first post of photos taken with my new camera, I had planned to post a landscape shot taken last weekend but... A snow storm came on the city today... So here is a photo taken just some minutes ago... BTW, I was in position to take the picture of the railway station esplanade when those two guys came running. Pour mon premier post de photos prises avec mon nouvel appareil photo, j'avais prévu de poster une photo de paysage prise le weekend dernier mais voila... Une tempête de neige s'est abattue sur la ville aujourd'hui... Alors voici une photo prise il y a juste quelques minutes... Au fait, j'étais en position pour photographier l'esplanade de la gare quand ces deux mecs sont arrivés en courant. ;-) ==> Music / Musique: Push The Tempo - Fatboy Slim ==> View / Voir: Large / En Grand ||=========================================||

Bridge
Made by Ashutosh...
I took this pic around sunset.. it was Dusk... and it is single raw file that i have tried to convert into HDR(but ended to this and i liked it).... It looks painting rather than a real photography ... It looks like an old parisian artist's drawing from the bank of Seine river. But it is not Paris.. and it is not an art by artist.. It is Grenoble one of the beautiful city in RHONE ALPS region of France. And this is the river ISERE. And the rope way in this Pic is a way to Bastille Mountain. This photo made to Explorer(20 dec #109)
