Shutter Speed On Point And Shoot

The spider

On the way back from Killen Fallen, my Czech friend arrampincandosi proceed quickly with his long levers. I can hardly follow him, trudging along, but do not give up. At one point I see the figure of Thomas stop and start screaming. From behind the cry: "What happened?" He turns, with a smile on his face and he replies: "I found, I found it! I found my spider! Look! "I'm waved and moved slightly on the side, I try to focus the point that I was pointing to Thomas and, finally, I get a sharp image of a spider (huge spider!), Of various colors, leaning its web, waiting for some prey. Thomas was hitting against us, probably I, being more 'low, I would have passed over without even realizing it. Between the excitement of my disbelief and Thomas' shot a series of photos to witness the event, and Thomas now tells me: "I have to go, absolutely your photos. Now remains for me to see a large snake and then are fine. " And the phrase 'thrown out' as a child would do a little 'brat in search of adventure in the woods around his home and reminded me that I was that kid while I ventured with Nicholas, my cousin and Shoeshine, my dog \u200b\u200bover the garden the grandmother's house in the country. I still remember when they climbed over the wall and we head to the fields with the pretext of searching for mushrooms or asparagus. I remember one day when we ventured in for a real estate ' where we had never set foot 'cause my grandmother had always told us that if we went to those places, the owner would have fired his gun: it seems like it was a particularly grumpy. But we do that afternoon, at the expense of my grandmother's warnings, we ventured past the bushes, 'cause all we were told that in those places we found some delicious strawberries. I still remember when we got to the pool: Shoeshine freezes 'and stopped wagging his tail as if he sensed knows' what and Nicola and I were completely surprised by the discovery of an unknown location within walking distance from home. Looking back and visit that place in my memory the most 'recent, in fact,' it is only a small pool of water, but at that moment, the evening during the season of fireflies, it seemed an enchanted lake.

Swimming With Chickenpox

Thomas Killen Falls




Many I spoke of a waterfall near the farm, but no one had been able to indicate precisely where it was. Thomas's arrival I had talked extensively about the fact find this place now entered into my imagination, but 'without reference location. During one of my days off, needing to go to Ballina to activate my mobile broadband, at a good pace, with a bright sun to keep me company, I made my way hitchhiking. Needless to say after five minutes I was stops on the way an old man with his sedan. I asked, "Where are you going?" And I said, "Ballina" and he says, "Jump in" Henry and a man of about eighty, who a few months ago he lost his wife suffering from pancreatic cancer. I tell him that my Uncle Nino, the brother of my mother, unfortunately, found to have the same disease a few months ago and is struggling through chemo and various therapies. Henry looks at me disheartened and continues telling that he had spent fifty-five years without ever separating from his partner. Now he was left alone and was dedicated to volunteering in the local parish in Ballina. Then he says: "Have you visited the Fallen Killen? Are close to Tintenbar and your farm! " I ask him to show me the exact spot on the map. Henry welcomed back to the farm and talk extensively with possibility of Thomas' the next day to organize a small expedition to explore the Fallen Killen. Thomas and willingly accepts the following morning after our yoga exercises we are moving towards the coveted goal. After two hours' walk brings us to the road signs at the entrance to a dirt road in front of which stands a sign: "Killen Fallen."
We enter into the undergrowth to our left feeling flow a river. A few minutes later we arrive at a river bank and opens before us a wonderful show: the bed of the river is suddenly cut off as by a magnet ' and the natural stream of water falls as its bed cut in two. A descent of a hundred yards and then a natural pool surrounded by mature trees placed as guardians of the waterfall. Entice us to look at the panorama that unfolds before us. Thomas cried out of happiness' and I see myself smiling like a child. After a descent through the woods for about ten minutes we arrive in the Killen Fallen them 'we realize that we have entered a magical place. The water is 'cold, but that' can not stop us from taking a dip and enjoy the feeling of being completely fused with the nature that surrounds us. We spend the morning exploring this paradise. Before you turn away and go home one last look, one last photo to remember.
