The Days My Grandmother Remembers

I grew up on a ranch. And I spent our hot, hot summers on my grandmother's ranch, where I learned to handle a handgun, a rifle... drive a tractor, a car, a horse and buggy - and all sorts of incredibly useful things that one day yet may be useful again.

All I have to see is a scene like this one and it takes me back to the those marvelous, innocent days where the smell of damp dirt (from the sprinklers she'd set every night to settle the dust on the driveway)... the grass hay in the barn, the dry grasses outside, live oak trees and dusty horses were like an olfactory ambrosia.

I don't really expect you to truly understand this... but it's OK. 
I just wanted to share what I felt when saw this little scene in the foothills of the Sierras one day.

Dualité

A Black and White panoramic view of the lake "Saint André" in France with an unusual clouds formation.

I used 5 photos (taken with a Canon EOS 50D and a canon EF-S 10-22mm lens) and "Kolor Autopano Giga" software for completing the Panorama.

Feel free to share if you love the photo ;-)

3:30am, Western Iceland, the sun emerges above the horizon and illuminates the Kirkjufell, the “Church Mountain”. This is one of the incredible sceneries of the Snæfell Peninsula, a place made for fantastic tales, where the reality can easily be blurred and substituted by daydream visions.

Equipment for this photo: Nikon D800e, Nikkor 16-35mm, Lee graduated neutral density filter (0.3 hard).

What is Plus Extract?

It's your DAILY dose of TOP Google Plus photographs, which were chosen by an algorithm that combines automatic steps and manual curation. This means that the DAILY TOPs are NOT based solely on popularity, and users with a small number of followers have a chance to be featured in the TOP. We use Google+ API for the automatic steps; Jarek Klimek is responsible for curation and communication with the authors.

We strongly respect the authors and their rights. +Jarek Klimek contacts every photographer featured in all DAILY TOPs and if any author decides that he/she doesn't want to be featured in the TOP, we respect this absolutely.

Catherine Hall About us and Google+

Google+ has flourished into a bustling online community for photographers – and one reason is the exceptional contribution of early adopters such as Jarek Klimek, Editor of PhotoExtract magazine.

Jarek had the foresight to research the new social network and created an authoritative list of photographers to follow on Google+.

His viral list has not only become one of the top referring resources of photography trailblazers, it is also shared and watched by leaders such as Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble and Darren Rowse.

Jarek has helped introduce the work of great photographers to Google+ photography enthusiasts and I was very excited to share his insights with viewers on TWiT Photo.
