Canton Railroad SW1500 1501 was pulling across Boston Street on an overcast Monday morning. The traffic jam created by this move during the rush hour was quite lengthy and chaotic.
It was also quite amusing to watch.

The Wright Brothers Monument sitting atop Big Kill Devil Hill is a testament to the towering achievements of Wilbur and Orville Wright who did what no one before them could manage: manned, powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight. To commemorate such an outstanding accomplishment a monument was erected at the site of their gliding experiments. This granite structure was designed by Alfred Easton Poor and Robert Perry Rodgers in 1928, 25 years after the first flight. Their architectural firm, Rodgers & Poor, won a contest to decide who would design the monument. Poor, who served as a pilot in the Navy in both World War I and World War II, was an already established architect with degrees from both Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania. He also had the distinction of being the president of the National Design Center for 10 years. Rodgers, who also served in the Navy during World War I, received a degree from Harvard University as well as receiving a diploma from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.
The design of the monument features an Art Deco style which highlights bold geometric shapes. A notable part of the monument is the inscription that reads, “In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright. Conceived by genius. Achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith.” The monument also features curved, wing-like designs on either side and a lit beacon at the top which functions similarly to a lighthouse. Prior to construction of the memorial’s Mission 66 era visitor center and museum, the inside of the monument acted as a contact station. Visitors could even ascend the very narrow stairs to the top and peer out 150 feet above sea level towards where the Wright brothers flew four flights on December 17th, 1903.
Construction of the monument itself was started in 1928 with Orville Wright in attendance at the laying of the cornerstone. A local organization called the Kill Devil Hills Memorial Association (now the First Flight Society) led the efforts to protect and preserve the site, eventually gaining national support. The monument was proposed by Representative Lindsay Warren of North Carolina and Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, who set out to convince President Coolidge and Congress of the importance of building the monument. Ultimately the funds were secured, and the “Kill Devil Hills Monument National Memorial” was established and managed by the War Department. To ensure that the monument wouldn’t be susceptible to sand erosion, Big Kill Devil Hill was sodded, and shrubs and other grasses were planted to stabilize it. Construction of the first bridges to the Outer Banks also started during this time in an effort to extend better access to the islands and to the memorial itself. In 1933 control of the monument was given to the National Park Service, and in 1953 it was officially renamed “Wright Brothers National Memorial.” The Memorial was dedicated on November 19th, 1932 with Orville again in attendance as well as prominent aviators and politicians of the time.Today the monument continues to sit atop big Kill Devil Hills and reigns over it as one of the highest points in the Outer Banks while continuing to honor the legacy of two brothers.

Each and every room, stairwell and corridor in the Art Institute, Chicago suggest delicious ways to create images. This location was near the cafeteria.
What a delightfully creative cauldron for the students who attend the School of the Art Institute, one of the top art and design schools in the USA offering undergraduate and graduate degrees.

When I think about the kind of person I really am at heart, I'd describe myself first and foremost as an introvert. Some people laugh at this because my work suggests otherwise but the reality is that it took me years to find the courage to model. It's something I'd always wanted to do but it also terrified me because I am *definitely* the kind of person who is most comfortable with a good book by the pool.
It usually takes me a long time to feel comfortable around someone and even longer to start to really be myself. This passion of mine forces me to push myself outside of my comfort zone regularly and I do it because I think it makes me the best version of myself; even when I struggle sometimes with the need for privacy vs the need to do what I love.
Ultimately this is my dream. I'm not really 'model material' in so many ways but I love it to bits and it pushes me outside of my comfort zone regularly - which I think is the secret to finding fulfilment in your life. Not all risks are worth the reward but if you don't push yourself every so often, you'll never know if that one decision could have been the one to change your life.

With thanks to Skagitrenee for both images in this challenge.
Created for TMI's "13" challenge and for the Hypothetical Awards' 2nd Annual ~ ARTYfishal artyFISHES ~ Underwater Art Challenge.
Created from a blank canvas.
Each fish painting (all done in Photoshop using a mouse) is based on a fish found in nature. Of course you would never find this assortment of fish all in the same environment since some are salt water and others fresh water dwellers. Nevertheless, they live happily together in my ichthyological fantasy ;-).

Create a vintage-style 3D fine art depicting three young children dressed in charming Halloween costumes, standing together on a doorstep under the glow of a lantern. Two of the children wear classic witch outfits with wide-brimmed black hats—one in a flowing black cloak and the other in an orange-and-black ensemble. The third child wears a bright pumpkin-orange dress with a white ruffled collar and puffed sleeves, tied with a black ribbon at the neck, and a matching bonnet. Each child holds a pumpkin-shaped jack-o’-lantern candy pail, their faces glowing with excitement and curiosity as they share in Halloween cheer. Sitting with them is their west highland white terrier puppy.
The doorway behind them is painted in a muted blue-gray tone with a brass handle and small glass window, illuminated by a lantern light that casts a nostalgic glow. Around the stone steps, several pumpkins rest among fallen leaves, adding to the cozy seasonal atmosphere. 3D Text top center "Trick or Treat"
