7. What does this place have to do with the Vosges? In other words, why was this name chosen?
There is an imposing building along the Sukhumvit road near Phatthaya 10 road. I have passed this building many times, travelling into and out of Pattaya. I wondered what it could be for many years, yet never went. At first I thought it was an unusual Temple. However it was not, it turned out to be the home of the largest chicken breeder in Thailand. Baan Sukhawadee or Eden House is owned by Dr. Panya Chotitawan, who owns Saha Farms in Thailand. Saha Farm used to have 30,000 employees. However the number has reduced substantially to about half after the company experienced serious financial problems.
The state owned and run Krung Thai Bank, has agreed in theory to advance about 1,000 million Baht as a helping hand ( loan ) for the troubled Saha Farm agro giant to boost its liquidity so that it will be able to carry on with its business. Saha Farms, throughout its 42 year of operation has produced quality frozen chicken products with cleanliness and responsibility to all its customers. They are the largest exporters of chicken products to places like Japan, England, Germany, China, Netherlands and Belgium. Much of the stock is reared and bred using the Cobb U.S. breed, which is considered a good type of bird that gives the highest meat yield and are used as Grandparent stock at their breeding farms in Petchabun Province, in Northern Thailand, commonly called Issan.
Baan Sukhawadee can be found at 219 Moo 2 Sukhumvit road, Bang Lamung district in Chon Buri Province. The house is built in beautifully serene grounds it’s just everything else that’s loud, but in a nice way. Various statues, Images and other sculptures can be found here, for example ~ Lord Buddha at birth Image, the Goddess of Mercy, King Taksin the Great, King Chulalongkorn the Great, who was known as Rama V, he was the fifth monarch of Siam under the House of Chakri. He was known to the Siamese of his time as Phra Phuttha Chao Luang.
He is considered one of the greatest kings of Siam. ( Now Thailand ) . His reign was characterized by the modernization of Siam, immense government and social reforms, and territorial cessions to the British Empire and French Indochina. Also a statue of Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak, the father of the Royal Thai Navy also known as Admiral Prince Krom Luang Chumporn Khet Udomsak was the first member of the Thai royal family to graduate in naval education having spent his early years studying Naval warfare in England. He was the commanding officer of HTMS Phra Ruang that sailed from Britain to Bangkok.
Baan Sukhawadee is a mansion, function centre, come theme park. It provides a look into the life of a wealthy Thai family. Inside it has a collection of Thai, Greek, Roman, Classical European, Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim and Hollywood architecture, art sculpture, and unusual objet d'art.

Thomas Jefferson Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C. that is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, an American Founding Father and the third president of the United States. The neoclassical building was designed by John Russell Pope. It was built by Philadelphia contractor John McShain and was completed during 1939-1943; the bronze statue of Jefferson was added inside in 1947. When completed, the memorial occupied one of the last significant sites left in the city.
Composed of circular marble steps, a portico, a circular colonnade of Ionic order columns, and a shallow dome, the building is open to the elements. Pope made references to the Roman Pantheon and Jefferson's own design for the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. It is situated in West Potomac Park, on the shore of the Tidal Basin of the Potomac River. The Jefferson Memorial and the White House located directly north, form one of the main anchor points in the area of the National Mall in D.C. The Washington Monument just east of the axis on the national Mall was intended to be located at the intersection of the White House and the site for the Jefferson Memorial to the south but soft swampy ground which defied nineteenth century engineering required it be sited to the east. The Jefferson Memorial is managed by the National Park Service under its National Mall and Memorial Parks division. In 2007, it was ranked fourth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.

The Ship was located in Church Street in 1711, and possibly long before that, but at some time before 1840 moved to its present location on Gad's Hill. The current building has a very old & rural appearance suggesting the building might pre-date its use as a pub.
video stills from a trip to Windsor/Detroit by jane and i, when we went to windsor for the media city experimental film festival in early Feb 2004.

we took a bus to detroit and wandered around detroit. we'd only recently read jeffrey eugeniges' book middlesex which tells of the white flight in detroit following the race riots in the late 60s. so many of the amazing art deco skyscrapers left empty. and so they are to this day.
the folks in windsor (including an extremely kind, but very overbearing bed n breakfast owner) told us it was a "bad idea" to go to downtown detroit. too dangerous. we had no troubles though.
we walked all the way up the main street to the big museum where the diego rivera murals are.
these shots are from that walk. the only building we went out of our way to see was the abandoned railway station (the last photo in the set).
I wrote a small blog entry about this visit to Detroit, here:
That building - originally called the Lee Tower - looked out of place, completely out of keeping with the neighborhood, from the time it was built, in the early 1960s. Now someone's turned it into even more of an eyesore. Fortunately, the city is finally going after the vandals who put up these kind of graphics. It's not art, it's not free speech - it's pollution, pure and simple. February 28, 2010
Tour CIBC, Montreal's 3rd tallest skycraper, is sandwiched between the two tallest, 1000 de La Gauchetière and 1250 René-Lévesque. It was completed in 1964 and has a very rectangular architectural design (known as "International style"). It stands at 190 metres and 47 floors, and is connected to Montreal's underground city.
It also looks almost exactly the same as Denver's tallest building, The Republic Plaza
A beekeeper maintains two hives on the green roof on top of City Hall. You can see 300 N LaSalle behind the west side of the James R. Thompson Center/State of Illinois Building.
The City motto is "urbs in horto" but the photo shows the opposite: A garden in the city instead of a city in a garden.
Venice day 5 of our Cosmos tour, October 4, 2012.
Venice is a city in northeastern Italy sited on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. It is located in the marshy Venetian Lagoon which stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks.The city in its entirety is listed as a World Heritage Site, along with its lagoon.
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region. In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in Venice's comune (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon). Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (PATREVE), with a total population of 1,600,000. PATREVE is only a statistical metropolitan area without degree of autonomy.
The name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC. The city historically was the capital of the Venetian Republic. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man". Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spice) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history. It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.

This historic church in downtown Frederick was one of the first of a denomination known as the United Brethren in Christ. This denomination had been founded in 1800 in Rocky Ridge, about 15 miles north of Frederick. The congregation started worshiping in Kemp Hall on the corner of Church and Market Street, and in 1883 built their first church on Third Street. It was known as Otterbein Chapel, named for the founder and first bishop of the United Brethren in Christ, Philip William Otterbein. The congregation continued to grow and when a lot on West Second Street came up for sale in 1900, the congregation began building a larger church. This building was completed in 1901. It was then given the name "Centennial Memorial" to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the United Brethren in Christ. The church is a gothic revival building with unique ceiling rafters and intricate stained glass. Three of the most beautiful windows are found in the apse above the altar. The largest window is the memorial window, which is found in the front wall of the church. At its top is a depiction of Bishop Otterbein and his famous quote "We Are Brethren" The church became United Methodist in 1968, following the merger of the United Brethren and the Methodist Churches. The sanctuary also features a 1975 Moller Pipe Organ. Information drawn from "Houses of Worship in Frederick Maryland" by Herb Wolf III.
At a commercial complex in bangalore. Didn't have my wide angle lens, so shot 24 images at 30mm, stiched them all in Microsoft ICE (best thing ever, btw)
Not proud of the whole thing at all. There are bunch of compositing errors. Am not bothered to photoshop them. I would rather do the whole thing over. It was fun though. I am in love with photo compositing.
Obviously no EXIF :) 24 x 30mm @ f/2.8
I rarely go out to take the photos at night, but on last weekend, I went to the gallery of photo exhibition and after that, I took a walk with some flickr friends of mine. That's fun!! :D
