Many people often take photos like this one (me too). The digital cameras even with the lattest technology today make this kind of effects. White sky, white water, not a great resolution... a bad photo.

But many times we want to have the photos with the best quality.

So, here is an example how much we can improve it.

By the way, thanks a lot Isabel to let me show this photography at Copenhague ;-)

Mucha gente a menudo saca fotografías como la que muestro (yo también). Las cámaras digitales en la actualidad, incluso con las últimas tecnologías hacen este tipo de efectos. Cielo blanco, agua blanca, no mucha resolución... una fotografía no muy buena en resumen.

If there are something that the people from my city Bilbao (or province) love is the "Athletic de Bilbao", the local soccer team.

We do play at the spanish league. With Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only teams that never have been in other "low" leagues.

The photography was taken at a match against Mallorca at San Mames (the Cathedral of soccer). And the fingers are telling how many "goals" are we going to score today.

Si hay algo que a la gente de mi ciudad, Bilbao (y de mi provincia Bizkaia) les gusta y además une es el "Athletic de Bilbao", el equipo de futbol local.

Nosotros jugamos en la división de honor de la liga española. Junto con el Real Madrid y el Barcelona somos los únicos equipos que no hemos jugado en otras ligas menores.

Y hoy se juega la final de la Copa del Rey contra el equipo de "Barcelona Futbol Club", una de las competiciones más importantes del año.

Por eso, mi homenaje a este equipo que además solo juega con jugadores vascos (y esto es increible ya que el País Vasco es muy pequeño).

La fotografía fué sacada en un partido de copa frente al Mallorca en San Mames (la Catedral del futbol). Y los "dedos" nos dicen cuantos "goles" van a marca hoy.

¡¡¡ Aupa Athletic, eup !!!

And I always have dreamed to be one. But at least, now, I just only can be an architect in my imagination , so, here is one of my works ;-)

Ladies and gentleman, "The Dali´s Tower" by Donibane.

Como la wikipedia describe la "arquitectura" es la actividad de diseñar y construir edificios u otras estructuras físicas por un individuo.

Y yo siempre he soñado con ser uno. Pero al menos, ahora, solo en mi imaginación podré ser un arquitecto, por eso, aquí os muestro uno de mis trabajos.

> English version

Sualker is a company locates at Bizkaia.

Now it has a new division for "events" and hired me to design its new website.

I have tried to keep the same style and have all the information at the first page.

But we had a great time at this place of the world where we should will come back some day.

Thank you for that days my friends ;-)

El año pasado tuvimos momentos inolvidables en la gran ciudad de A Coruña (Galicia, España).

What is Basque Country?

When I was living at the USA many of my friends did not understand what was Basque Country. And I did understand why because we are a little country inside two countries. To the ones who want to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_Country_(autonomous_community)

Everyone of us (the basque people) have a feeling of what suppose to be basque (and a different one).

In my case I came when I was eight years from Venezuela. So living there (at Caracas) I feel the Basque Culture from the "view" of the "diaspora" or "emigration" (what ever you want). And I did learn some basque (we do have our own language) and basque dances too. Now I do speak a little basque but I have to do something about that and try to learn more. The basque language is (almost for sure) the oldest of Europe (and there are many theories about where it cames from).

Many of my friends are basque. Others fill like they are spanierds too. Even, I have friends that fill they are from France.

And I respect all the choices that people take. And the same I do expected from them.

A very important part of the basque culture is its sports. In the entire world, for example, the Jai Alai (or Cesta Punta) is known. "The fastest game of the world" said the slogan at the Tampa "Frontón".

A year ago I went to Bermeo´s frontón to see a match. Titin, one of the best "pelotaris" from la Rioja and Mtz. de Irujo were at that game. And I really enjoied a lot at the first line of the chairs.

So, here some photos of that "event".
