"I like going south. It's like going down the hill," that's what an old ent used to say. I don't know, in my much shorter life I've found out that every direction's allright if the view is nice. Going north here...
All long the beach both direction's there are people and pet's hidden the driftwood. In this section there are at least 3 people and 1 dog that are hiding from the wind. This is from Richmond Beach Northwest to Whidby Island in the Puget Sound.
Part one^^ ;)

And I'll be gone, gone tonight. The ground beneath my feet is open wide, the way that I've been holding on too tight- with nothing in between. The story of my life, I take her home, I drive all night to keep her warm. And time... is frozen. The story of my life, I give her hope.
I spend her love, until she's broke inside.

It has been much too long since I have taken a conceptual photo. Not even just weeks, months. I have had this idea, having a penny dress for some time now. I originally shot this and was going to have jars floating around her, with money in it... but I ended up not liking that so added snow instead :)
I have to give my hats off to Jenessa, who is such a beautiful person inside and out. She froze her butt off in this dress in negative degree weather and was the one that suggested holding an empty jar. She was such a trooper! We stayed in the parking garage for about an hour after just talking- she really is so lovely :)
The idea was inspired by One Direction's song "Story Of My Life" ... I am sure all of you have heard it by now, it is on the radio, I believe, if for some reason you haven't, go give it a listen.

An almost abstract photo of the colour-changing lights in the Snog Frozen Yoghurt shop near the old Raymond Revue bar in the heart of Soho. This is more colourful than my previous upload but I'm not so keen on the colour combination.
Following a long and interesting Nikon Z50 promotional event in London I thought before I headed home I'd have an early evening walk round Soho. It occurred to me I've thousands of photos of London but very few of this part of town, particularly after dark when arguably it looks its best.

From the BBC website : "Fancy a Snog?" is written on the bright pink business card that I'm handed as I enter Rob Baines and Pablo Uribe's house in the heart of London's Soho.
Given the area's reputation for being the centre of the capital's adult entertainment industry, it's easy to imagine something less than salubrious. But this is about frozen yoghurt.
The couple are the founders of Snog, a small chain of "fro yo" shops, which entices its customers with cheeky catchphrases such as "Less talk, more Snogging", "You'll never forget your first Snog" and "What could be more natural than a Snog?".
Their shops, furnished pop-art style in iridescent colours with rounded cartoon-like furniture, have attracted famous fans ranging from the Duchess of Cambridge to One Direction's Harry Styles."

Your voice matters and your vote can make a difference. You honestly shouldn't be voting to make anyone proud... your vote is not about what other people think of you. Your vote is about your right, your rights, and the direction(s) you want your country to go in. So, friends... get out there and send us in a good direction, please!

This abandoned house has an interesting grittiness and fascinating lines going every which way. About the only line that seems relatively straight is the extra long antenna.
The nature and direction(s) of the inevitable collapse(s) will be very interesting.
Stranger #69 – Tomek – I see him quite often as he works in our favourite vegan place in the centre of Wrocław, Poland. Today it struck me that his portrait would be a great addition to the project. So having spotted him sitting in front of said restaurant I approached him and asked for a photo. He agreed without any hesitation and any questions whatsoever, yet still I felt obliged to explain the purpose behind my actions. The light was very harsh today but fortunately there was a little shady spot next to the building. I took a few pictures and quickly realised that I initially opted for the wrong direction. Well, it happens during sunny days. Thankfully, the opposite direction’s background was much more uniformly lit. After taking a significant number of shots I was sure I got something awesome and I think I wasn’t mistaken ;)
This picture is #69 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, linking Bankside with the City of London. It is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, a charitable trust overseen by the City of London Corporation. Construction began in 1998, and it initially opened in June 2000.
Londoners nicknamed it the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians experienced an alarming swaying motion on its opening day. The bridge was closed later that day and, after two days of limited access, it was closed again for almost two years so that modifications and repairs could be made to keep the bridge stable and stop the swaying motion. It reopened in February 2002.
The bridge is located between Southwark Bridge and Blackfriars Railway Bridge. Its southern end is near the Globe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery, and Tate Modern, while its northern end is next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge's alignment is such that a clear view (i.e. a "terminating vista") of St Paul's south façade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.
The design of the bridge was the subject of a competition organised in 1996 by Southwark council and RIBA Competitions. The winning entry was an innovative "blade of light" effort from Arup Group, Foster and Partners, and Sir Anthony Caro. Due to height restrictions, and to improve the view, the bridge's suspension design had the supporting cables below the deck level, giving a very shallow profile. The bridge has two river piers and is made of three main sections of 81 m (266 ft), 144 m (472 ft), and 108 m (354 ft) (north to south) with a total structure length of 325 m (1,066 ft); the aluminium deck is 4 m (13 ft) wide. The eight suspension cables are tensioned to pull with a force of 2,000 tons against the piers set into each bank—enough to support a working load of 5,000 people on the bridge at one time.
Ordinarily, bridges across the River Thames require an Act of Parliament. For this bridge, that was avoided by the Port of London Authority granting a licence for the structure, and the City of London and London Borough of Southwark granting planning permission. Construction began in late 1998 and the main works were started on 28 April 1999 by Monberg & Thorsen and Sir Robert McAlpine. The bridge was completed at a cost of £18.2 million (£2.2M over budget), primarily paid for by the Millennium Commission and the London Bridge Trust.
The bridge opened on 10 June 2000, two months late.
Unexpected lateral vibration due to resonant structural response caused the bridge to be closed on 12 June for modifications. Attempts had been made to limit the number of people crossing the bridge, which led to long queues but were ineffective to dampen the vibrations. Closure of the bridge only two days after opening attracted public criticism as another high-profile British Millennium project that suffered an embarrassing setback, akin to how many saw the Millennium Dome.
Vibration was attributed to an under-researched phenomenon whereby pedestrians crossing a bridge that has a lateral sway have an unconscious tendency to match their footsteps to the sway, exacerbating it. The tendency of a suspension bridge to sway vertically when troops march over it in step was well known, which is why troops are required to break step when crossing such a bridge. An example is London's Albert Bridge, which has a sign dating from 1873 warning marching ranks of soldiers to break step while crossing.
The bridge's movements were caused by a 'positive feedback' phenomenon, known as synchronous lateral excitation. The natural sway motion of people walking caused small sideways oscillations in the bridge, which in turn caused people on the bridge to sway in step, increasing the amplitude of the bridge oscillations and continually reinforcing the effect; the maximum sway was around 70mm. On the day of opening, the bridge was crossed by 90,000 people, with up to 2,000 on the bridge at any one time.
Resonant vibrational modes due to vertical loads (such as trains, traffic or pedestrians) and wind loads are well understood in bridge design. In the case of the Millennium Bridge, because the lateral motion caused pedestrians to directly participate with the bridge, the vibrational modes had not been anticipated by the designers. When the bridge lurches to one side, the pedestrians must adjust to keep from falling over, and they all do this at the same time. The effect is similar to soldiers marching in lockstep, but horizontal instead of vertical.
The risks of lateral vibration in lightweight bridges are well known. Any bridge with lateral frequency modes of less than 1.3 Hz, and sufficiently low mass, could witness the same phenomenon with sufficient pedestrian loading. The greater the number of people, the greater the amplitude of the vibrations. Other bridges which have seen similar problems are:
Auckland Harbour Bridge, with a lateral frequency of 0.67 Hz during a 1975 demonstration
Birmingham NEC Link bridge, with a lateral frequency of 0.7 Hz
Engineers at Arup, the company that designed the bridge, conducted research into the unexpected oscillation which they called 'synchronous lateral excitation'. The first laboratory studies used pedestrians on moving platforms at the University of Southampton and Imperial College London. Later in 2000, one span of the bridge was instrumented and tested with crowds of up to 275 people.
They concluded that making the bridge stiffer, to move its resonant frequency out of the excitation range, was not feasible as it would greatly change its appearance. Instead, the resonance was controlled by retrofitting 37 viscous fluid dampers to dissipate energy. These include 17 chevron dampers – long V-shaped braces under the deck panels – to control lateral movement, 4 vertical to ground dampers to control lateral and vertical movements, and 16 pier dampers to control lateral and torsional movements. Additionally, 52 tuned mass dampers add inertia to control vertical movement. The work took from May 2001 to January 2002 and cost £5M. After a period of testing, the bridge was reopened on 22 February 2002 and has not been subject to significant vibration since. In spite of the successful cure, the affectionate "wobbly bridge" (sometimes "wibbly-wobbly") epithet remains in common usage among Londoners.
An artistic expression of the higher-frequency resonances within the cables of the bridge were explored by Bill Fontana's 'Harmonic Bridge' exhibition at the Tate Modern museum in mid-2006. This used acoustic transducers placed at strategic locations on the cabling of the Millennium Bridge and the signals from those transducers were amplified and dynamically distributed throughout the Turbine Hall of the Tate by a programme which Fontana entered into the sound diffusion engine of the Richmond Sound Design AudioBox.

Die Millennium Bridge ist eine Fußgängerbrücke über die Themse in London. Sie verbindet die City of London auf der Nordseite mit dem Stadtteil Southwark im Stadtbezirk London Borough of Southwark auf der Südseite. Die Brücke ist im Besitz von Bridge House Estates, einer Wohlfahrtsorganisation der City of London Corporation.
Am nördlichen Ende der Brücke befinden sich die St Paul’s Cathedral und die City of London School, am südlichen Ende das Tate Modern, das Globe Theatre und die Bankside Gallery. Die erdverankerte Hängebrücke ist so ausgerichtet, dass man vom südlichen Ufer aus einen uneingeschränkten Blick auf die St Paul's Cathedral genießt.
1996 veranstaltete die Stadtbezirksverwaltung von Southwark einen Architekturwettbewerb. Das siegreiche Projekt stammte von Norman Foster (Entwerfer), Arup (Ingenieurbüro), Chris Wise (Ingenieur bei Arup für die ursprünglichen Pläne) und Anthony Caro. Wegen der Beschränkung der Höhe und um die Aussicht zu verbessern, befinden sich die Tragseile neben dem Fußweg, wodurch die Hängebrücke ungewöhnlich flach erscheint. Die Brücke steht auf zwei Säulen und besitzt drei Sektionen mit einer Länge von 81, 144 und 108 Meter (von Nord nach Süd); die gesamte Länge der Brücke beträgt 325 Meter. Die acht Tragseile können ein Gewicht von 2000 Tonnen tragen, dadurch können sich gleichzeitig 5000 Personen auf der Brücke aufhalten.
Die Vorarbeiten begannen im Juli 1998, die Hauptarbeiten am 28. April 1999. Die Brücke kostete 18,2 Millionen Pfund (2,2 Millionen über dem Budget) und wurde am 10. Juni 2000 mit zwei Monaten Verspätung eröffnet. Nur zwei Tage später musste sie wegen unkontrollierten heftigen Schwankens wieder für den Publikumsverkehr geschlossen werden. Dabei handelte es sich im Wesentlichen um seitliche Bewegungen. Die vertikalen Bewegungen blieben dagegen im vorausberechneten Rahmen. Die Brücke bekam daraufhin von den Einwohnern Londons den Spitznamen The wobbly bridge (Wackelbrücke).
Umfangreiche theoretische Untersuchungen und praktische Tests ergaben folgende Erklärung:
Die erste Eigenfrequenz für Querschwingungen der Brücke liegt bei etwa 1 Hertz. Daher ist es für Fußgänger durchaus möglich, sie zum Schwingen anzuregen. Im Allgemeinen laufen Personen auf einer Brücke nicht im Gleichschritt. Wenn jedoch zufällig die Brücke einmal in Querschwingungen gerät, passen sich die Menschen dieser Schwingung an und versuchen, diese durch ihre eigene Bewegung auszugleichen, etwa so, wie ein Seemann sich auf einem schwankenden Schiff bewegt. Damit bewegen sie sich gleichförmig und verstärken so die Schwingung. Dies geschieht weitgehend unbewusst. Erst wenn die Schwingungen so groß geworden sind, dass sie als unangenehm oder bedrohlich empfunden werden, bleiben die Menschen stehen und halten sich, wenn möglich, am Geländer fest. Dadurch hört die Schwingung wieder auf.
Zur Sanierung baute man in den folgenden zwei Jahren ein spezielles Dämpfersystem in die Millennium Bridge ein. Dieses besteht im Wesentlichen aus unter einigen Brückenfeldern diagonal verlegten Dämpfern und insgesamt 58 Schwingungstilgern, die horizontal und vertikal mit der Brücke verbunden wurden. Die Nachrüstung der Brücke verursachte Kosten in Höhe von 5 Millionen Pfund. Die Arbeit an den Korrekturen leitete Arup Tony Fitzpatrick.
Am 22. Februar 2002 wurde die Millennium Bridge wieder für den Publikumsverkehr geöffnet. Die Erfahrungen mit dem unerwarteten „Eigenleben“ der Brücke führten zu umfassenden Nachuntersuchungen anderer Brückenkonstruktionen, da man den Horizontalschwingungen in dieser Form im Brückenbau bis zum Jahr 2000 nicht ausreichend Beachtung geschenkt hatte.
Im März 2008 wurde die Millennium Bridge für zwei Tage gesperrt, um Dreharbeiten für den Film Harry Potter und der Halbblutprinz durchzuführen; im Film wird die Brücke zerstört.

We took along a copy of Maui Revealed on our trip to the island. It was full of all sorts of helpful hints and tips for the traveling photographer. For example, the day we drove around to Hana I was perusing the book and noticed a mention about some lava tubes that could be found if you kept your eyes peeled. Naturally, they had me at lava... so we followed the book's direction's and found the pullout along the road and sure enough there were a couple of Owen-sized holes in the opposite hillside. And I really do mean Owen-sized - the first cave in both height and depth. After I clambered into it and found that I couldn't go far at all, I called Owen over to take a look. He wasn't quite certain he wanted to go in himself, but he was happy enough to pose in the entrance while I snapped this photo of him.
I'll have to tell you the rest of the story tomorrow, work beckons.

One Direction are an English-Irish boy band formed in London in 2010, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of British television music competition The X Factor. They subsequently signed in North America with Columbia Records.
The release of One Direction's debut studio album Up All Night (2011) established their international breakthrough. The album was a commercial success that topped charts worldwide and marked the first time a debut album by a British group had bowed at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. They were inducted into the Guinness World Records as a result. The album yielded the international chart-topping single "What Makes You Beautiful" and was supported by the Up All Night Tour. Preceded by the record-breaking lead single "Live While We're Young", the group's second studio album Take Me Home was released in November 2012. The accompanying 2013 World Tour is set to begin in February 2013, with tickets grossing US$15.7 million for their Australian and New Zealand dates.
One Direction have been described as sparking the resurgence in the boy band concept, and of forming part of a new "British Invasion" in the United States. As of August 2012, One Direction have sold over 12 million albums, singles, and videos worldwide. Their achievements include a BRIT Award and 3 MTV Video Music Awards. Generating through combined music, merchandising, and touring sales, as of June 2012, according to Nick Gatfield, the chairman and chief executive of Sony Music Entertainment UK, One Direction represent an US$50 million business empire. The Huffington Post proclaimed 2012 "The Year of One Direction"
