Simplicity is everything.

When you need vacation you need also to clear your mind from every thought.
This is an image I love so much because remember me about a beautiful vacation.
This is a morning on the Atlantic Ocean.
Every morning I used to get up and looking out the horizon was covered by clouds but the wind in a few hours dragged them away ... The first rays came out like something magic ... every morning, the sea like a painting ... this is so relaxing for me.
The certainty that wind will come dragging every worry away is my way to be positive.

Oniric Experience

Sometimes happens I have something in my mind. There was a shot I wanted to realize but I have never found the perfect conditions to realize it. The sun raising from the Maspalomas Dunes at dawn is very difficult to realize because when the sun come out form the sea is often covered by clouds. For a week I get up and went on the Dunes to realize this shot but every day when the sun came out form the clouds was too much hight from the sea to be captured in only one shot. It looked as there was something I could admire every morning but impossible to shot so I decided to try another way ... this is the result. I have done two shots, one for the sun and one for the dunes from the some point of view and then merged them. while I was doing this work in Photoshop I thought it wasn't really a shot but an image so I decided to rotate the image with the sun and put the sun on the right to give a strange surreal sensation, the title came out suddenly "Oniric Experience" is something irreal ....

Calima
Inserito originariamente da anbri22

Coing up to Tejeda in a day of Calima.
Calimas are caused by dust storms that have been stirred up by high winds in the Sahara desert and are then blown over to the Canary Islands by southeasterly winds.

The very fine sand and dust particles cause the air to become difficult to see through for any distance thick and the appearance and visibility is like what you get during a thick fog. The difference being that in fog it is cool and damp but in a calima it is hot and dry.
During the time a calima is over the island, every surface will get covered in fine reddish brown dust.

Il calima è un vento caldo, spesso opprimente, apportatore di polvere e sabbia, che soffia tra S e SE, occasionalmente anche da E, nella regione delle Isole Canarie, soprattutto nel periodo invernale.

Come lo scirocco il calima proviene da una alta pressione in Nord Africa e Sahara e viene risucchiato verso nord/nordovest prima del passaggio di una depressione a nord dell'arcipelago. La polvere giallastra che viene sollevata e trasportata da questo vento è molto fine e passa anche da porte e finestre, mentre all'esterno la visibilità si riduce quasi a zero.
