So this is a second blog about landscape photographers , this blog focuses on the photos taken by Marc Adamus - his pictures are so amazing that they don't even look real !!! . they are magnificent ... i think that his pictures show just how beautiful nature really is . This is a link to his gallery  www.marcadamus.com  . I linked the pictures he has taken to geography by focusing on one picture in particular called "Under the lights" - this is one of my favourite photos , i love the colours and i like the way it looks so unusual . The photo was taken in Mount Monolith, Tombstone Range, Yukon . I had never seen a picture like this - the icicles are huge !Every thing about it is unbelievable .

In his gallery (link posted above ). There are pictures that are ( i think ) even better then this one , be sure to check them out !

 

geography =photography .

So one of my favourite hobbies is photography . I love to take pictures of everything ! . My pictures are not that intresting and are mostly pictures of friends and family but i do like taking pictures of landscape and nature - that is how i linked my hobby to geography . One of my favourite landscape photographers are Jim Brandenburg ( from the prairies of Minnesota ) you can look at his pictiures in his online gallery http://jimbrandenburg.com/ the pictures are amazing they are so much better then mine ! . I love his pictures so much that i can't pick a favourite thats why i put up the link so you can see decide yourself what is your favourite image .
A lot of Jims pictures are of lanndscape - for example monuntais ,pictures of nature and differnt types of trees . it is intresting to see how is images are so differnt depending on the country and area were the pictures were taken .
I am going to write blogs about other landscape photographers and will be showeing you some of my favourite pictures they have taken .

I'm never going to be in the army

Well yesterday we went to brave force , we did this army assault course .... it was so hard . We had to go under thees tunnel things - in the mud . We had to jump over hurdles that were taller than me ! . We had to go through muddy water like a million times .. the water went passed my chin !! the smell was horrific it was disgusting . We had to climb up things that were really high , I'm afraid of heights so that scary . Its hard to describe the stuff that we did . The best thing is to visit www.braveforce.ie then you can see first hard what we went through . Even though it was really disgusting i have to admit I had fun ...sort of :) . I do think that everyone should do it because after ward , after the shower and when you can feel your arms and legs again you are glad that you did it ! i was anyway :) ......I still don't think that i  will join the army any time soon  .

sometimes in April and hotel Rwanda

So this week we learned about conflict and watched two movies. one was called hotel Rwanda and the other was called Sometimes in April . The conflict in the movies was devastating . The movies taught me a lot but I don't think i would like to watch them again , because they were so sad . what was happening in Rwanda was horrific . I was really upset to learn about what the people of Rwanda suffered through  . 

Drumming

This week a man , i can not remember his name , but Emma r says his name was Dave , so I'm going to take her word for it . he came in a gave us a workshop on African drumming . We spent the day playing drums like the jimbi - probably spelled wrong . It was so much fun we learned a lot of cool rhythms and stuff and they actually sounded really good . I really enjoyed it .
