Fisheye view of the house and Jupiter at night
cocoi_m has added a photo to the pool:
Long, fisheye exposure of the house at night. Illumination from lights in the kitchen and tree lights in front room. Jupiter and an airplane (white line in center-right) included in view. Other than faint light from the windows, Jupiter, and the stars, the scene was black in 'real' time.

( X ) Fiz Light Painting – pintura com luz
Poderia fotografar mal pacas, dentro de um táxi e ser velhinho com tremedeira, mas foi Light painting - pintura com luz
Light painting é uma técnica fotográfica onde você fixa uma câmera e com grande tempo de exposição faz pintura usando a luz, isto é, riscando, contornando ou desenhando usando na mão algum objeto de luz.
Como o show de fogos tinha acabado, resolvi inovar e eu mesmo criar meus fogos de artifício e sai fazendo a técnica inversa do light painting. A Árvore de Natal da Lagoa estava fixa e eu fotografava em longa exposição e perto a metade do tempo tirava a máquina do tripé rapidamente e riscava todo o céu aproveitando a luz da Árvore.
O desafio foi tentar calcular quanto de super exposição para a Árvore parecer focada na foto e o restante do tempo desenhando com a câmera na mão livre.
Foi divertido e muito melhor que sair cedo e ficar preso no engarrafamento em volta da Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas após a inauguração da Árvore da Bradesco Seguros.

Radio City
Glyn Lowe Photos has added a photo to the pool:
Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations. It is the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, hosting the seat of city government and a large portion of the area's employment, business, and entertainment activities. As a result, residents of New York City's other boroughs such as Brooklyn and Queens often refer to a trip to Manhattan as "going to the city", despite the comparable populations between those boroughs.

Harbin - Ice & Snow Festival 2012 #6
Flitze50 has added a photo to the pool:
Im Winter, in der Regel von Anfang Januar bis Mitte Februar, finden in Harbin das Eis- und Schnee-Festival und das Eislaternen-Festival statt. An verschiedenen Orten im Stadtgebiet werden dann zum Teil filigran ausgearbeitete Eis- und Schneeskulpturen ausgestellt. Die größten Skulpturen sind Nachbauten berühmter Baudenkmale wie des Louvre in Paris oder des Pekinger Sommerpalastes. Dabei können die Skulpturen mehrere Meter hoch werden und sind nachts von innen mehrfarbig beleuchtet. Das Festival hat sich mittlerweile zu einer Winter-Touristenattraktion entwickelt und gehört zu den vier größten Eis- und Schneefestivals der Welt (neben dem Schneefestival in Sapporo, dem Skifestival in Oslo und der Winter-Sonnwendfeier in Québec).
Harbin is located in Northeast China under the direct influence of the cold winter wind from Siberia. The average temperature in summer is 21.2 °C (70.2 °F) and −16.8 °C (1.8 °F) in winter.
The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival has been held since 1985. Although the official start date is January 5 each year, in practice, many of the sculptures can be seen before. While there are ice sculptures throughout the city, there are two main exhibition areas: Enormous snow sculptures at Sun Island (a recreational area on the opposite side of the Songhua River from the city) and the separate "Ice and Snow World" that operates each night. Ice and Snow World features illuminated full size buildings made from blocks of 2–3 feet thick crystal clear ice directly taken from Songhua River which passes through the city. Winter activities in the festival include Yabuli Alpine Skiing, winter-swimming in Songhua River, and the ice-lantern exhibition in Zhaolin Garden. Snow carving and ice and snow recreations are world famous.
The "Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival" is one of the four largest ice and snow festivals in the world, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival.

UK - Bath - Field of Light 02
Darrell Godliman has added a photo to the pool:
Field of Light by Bruce Munro at the Holburne Museum in Bath until the 8th January (next year (well until tonight anyway)).
From Wikipedia : "Bruce Munro is a British lighting designer and installation artist. Munro is best known for lighting installations such as Field of Light which was first exhibited at the V&A Museum in 2004. His work was featured as an example of outstanding lighting design in the book by Design Museum titled How to Design a Light, published by Conran Octopus in October 2010.
Bruce Munro was born in Salcombe in Devon in 1959 and studied fine art at Bristol Polytechnic. He moved to Australia in 1984, where he created a commercial design company providing illuminated signage for large corporations such as Quantas and Honda. On his return to the UK in 2002 he worked for Kevin McCloud at his eponymous light manufacturing company before settling in West Wiltshire and branching out on his own as a lighting designer."

The Shot
The Field of Light at the Holburne Museum, Bath, UK is the artwork of acclaimed lighting artist Bruce Munro. It consists of over 5,000 bulbs of light planted in the grounds of the Museum and flowing into the Garden Cafe. Acrylic stems are topped by frosted spheres which are threaded with fibre optic cables and lit by a colour projector. The result is quite magical, as both colour and light flow through the bulbs. The effect is a flow of different colours across the field as the light colours gradually change.
The exhibition is free and remains open until 8 January 2012.
I took the shot while staying with family in Bath over Christmas
