Today, my children and I attended the last of a series of children's concerts put on by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The concerts were very well done and ideal for introducing children to classical music. They were only one hour long and the conductor would share information with the audience about the composer, the music and things to take note of.
We had tickets to four shows:
Glenn Gould's 75th Birthday
And Furthermore They Bite
Music from the Movies
Orchestra From Planet X
They were all good but the children liked Orchestra From Planet X, which we saw yesterday, the best. It had two mimes dressed up as aliens and featured music from North American composers.
I was really looking forward to Music from the Movies but I actually forgot to go. I was even downtown with Shotzy on a photo outing! Boy was I in trouble when I got home that evening and was informed about what I had failed to see on the calendar!
If you have children that you wish to introduce to classical music, I highly recommend this. It doesn't cost much more than a movie in the balcony seats (which are quite good) - $72 for five shows next year. Next years shows.
This was taken from the steps of Metro Hall to the west.
I've posted shots before of Eternal Flame Falls but I need to thank the Buffalo Bills for having such a horrible season.
Because of this, I spent the afternoon shooting at Eternal Flame Falls in Chestnut Ridge.
YES, THIS IS AN ACTUAL FLAME THAT BURNS UNDERNEATH THE WATERFALL!
The flame is burning in all but the most heavy waterflow. Sometimes it goes out, but friendly visitors just take matches or a lighter and light it up again. It's produced by a natural gas vent in the little grotto there.
It was getting dark here, so I decided to take some multiple exposures and continue to work on my HDR skills.
PS - the Bills won! And I got stuck in the stadium traffic on the way home. :(

I know, back to waterfalls rather quickly. My favorite repeat location.that I have not visited this year yet and had to fix it. This was early in the morning, with clouds, resulting in diffused light evenly illuminating the whole scene.
Yet again was I disgusted with human race. A few days back at Emery Falls I found empty beer cans all over. Today here, there were broken beer bottles and glass right under the waterfall. What a shame!
[11/7/12] Sorry for not doing it right away, but I've added a note explaining the uniqueness of this waterfall and also copied that below:
The light in the small cave on the right is what gives this waterfall its name - a flame! Natural gas is escaping through the layers of rock, which keeps this "Eternal" flame burning even in the middle of a waterfall! What a combination of elements!

The John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame is a presidential memorial at the gravesite of assassinated United States President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The site, opened to the public in 1967, was designed by architect John Carl Warnecke (1919-2010). Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.
An "eternal flame" burns at the flower-blanketed grave in a lasting memorial to the assassinated 35th president. Kennedy's grave is located on a green slope of the military cemetery which serves as a national shrine to the honored dead. Facing directly across the Potomac River toward the marble-pillared memorial to Abraham Lincoln, assassinated nearly a century ago, it dominates a broad vista of Washington

The tradition of lighting a flame in honour of fallen soldiers has existed since ancient times. In more recent memory, the first eternal flame was lit in 1923 at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Later, eternal flame memorials appeared in Belgium, Portugal, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
The first eternal flame in the Soviet Union was lit in October 1957 in Leningrad on the Field of Mars at the Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution. The eternal flame on the Field of Mars was the source of the flames for most of the military memorials established in the hero cities of the USSR.
On 8 May 1967, the eternal flame in memory of those killed in the Great Patriotic War was lit in the Alexander Gardens near the Kremlin wall in Moscow.

Die Tradition, ein Feuer zu Ehren der gefallenen Kämpfer zu entzünden, geht auf die Antike zurück. In neuerer Zeit wurde das erste Ewige Feuer 1923 am Arc de Triomphe in Paris eingerichtet. Danach entstanden Gedenkstätten mit dem Ewigen Feuer in Belgien, Portugal, Rumänien und Tschechien.
Das erste Ewige Feuer in der Sowjetunion wurde im Oktober 1957 in Leningrad auf dem Marsfeld am Denkmal für die Revolutionskämpfer installiert. Anschließend wurden dauerhaft brennende Flammen an den meisten Kriegsgedenkstätten, die in den sowjetischen Heldenstädten eröffnet wurden, entzündet.
Am 8. Mai 1967 wurde das Ewige Feuer zum Gedenken an die Gefallenen im Großen Vaterländischen Krieg im Alexandergarten an der Kremlmauer in Moskau entflammt.

Традиция зажигать огонь в честь погибших воинов родилась еще в древности. В новейшее время первый мемориальный Вечный огонь был зажжен в 1923 году у Триумфальной арки в Париже. Затем мемориалы с Вечным огнем появились в Бельгии, Португалии, Румынии, Чехии.
Первый вечный огонь в СССР загорится в октябре 1957 года в Ленинграде на Марсовом поле у памятника "Борцам революции". Вечный огонь на Марсовом поле станет источником пламени для большинства воинских мемориалов, открытых в городах-героях СССР.
8 мая 1967 года Вечный огонь в память о павших в Великой Отечественной войне будет зажжен в Александровском саду у Кремлевской стены в Москве.

A couple opens the large iron cauldron in Reikado Hall, in which water that is said to possess curative powers, boils over the Kiezu-no-hi (eternal flame), burning for over 1200 years since Kobo Daishi himself lit it when practising “Gumonji” training on Mt. Misen. Yumi Katsura (:-D), who studied haute couture while living in Paris and returned in Japan to open the first bridal salon in 1964 and become one of the world’s most prolific wedding dress designers, has designated the Kiezu-no-hi holy fire a Lover’s Sanctuary… The Reikado Hall is full of ema, small wooden plaques on which Shinto worshippers write their prayers or wishes, to be received by the kami (spirits or gods). These ema of course specialize in wishes for finding (or keeping!) the love of your life, though some of them can be quite dark, both in content and appearance, the latter from the smoke of the eternal fire that fills the small cavity staining ema dark brown and turning the walls of the Reikado Hall black.
The Shrine of Remembrance is located in ANZAC Square, between Ann Street and Adelaide Street, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. With its 'Eternal Flame', the Shrine is a war memorial dedicated to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - the shrine was completed in 1930.
Hero City: Voronezh.
From 10 to 17 September 2011, Voronezh celebrated its 425th anniversary. The anniversary of the city was given the status of a federal scale celebration that helped attract large investments from the federal and regional budgets for development. On December 17, 2012, Voronezh became the fifteenth city in Russia with a population of over one million people. Today Voronezh is the economic, industrial, cultural, and scientific center of the Central Black Earth Region. As part of the annual tradition in the Russian city of Voronezh, every winter the main city square is thematically drawn around a classic literature. In 2020, the city was decorated using the motifs from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. In the year of 2021, the architects drew inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen as well as the animation classic The Snow Queen from the Soviet Union.
One of the complaints we often hear, especially in the African American community, is that there aren't more minority officers working in minority neighborhoods.
One of the first things they tell you in the Chicago Police Academy is that we are the CHICAGO Police: we go anywhere within the City's boundaries, and beyond if they let us... It doesn't say Englewood Police, or Hyde Park Police, or the North Side Police, it says CHICAGO Police on our shoulder patch.
Within the city, we go anywhere we have to. "Members Only" and "No Trespassing" signs are no deterrent either. As Woody Guthrie wrote about No Trespassing signs: "The other side didn't say nothing, and that side was made for you and me!"
So, now that we have established our external boundaries, let's move on to the big question: "Why do you have all those White Cops in Black neighborhoods?
When recruits are assigned to a police district for their Field Training, the choice of that district is determined by residency. The one place they will not send you is the Police District where you live.
In my case, I lived in Hyde Park back in 1987, which was within the 21st Police District at the time, and I was assigned to the 3rd Police District, directly south of Hyde Park. There, I teamed up with other Probationary Police Officers who lived in other surrounding Police Districts: the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th Police Districts. Needless to say, officers who are assigned in this manner, reflect the demographics of the Police District where they live, not the one they are assigned to.
The Chicago Police Department is a union shop: officers of each rank are members of a Union that represents them, in the case of patrolmen that is the Fraternal Order of Police. As members of the FOP, we have earned the right to bid on openings in other Police Districts when they are posted once a month.
My long-term partner and I chose to stay in the 3rd District for a number of years, in part because it was a good place to learn our craft, but also because we lacked the seniority to bid on openings in Districts where we'd like to work. So, in the Spring of 1991, I bid into the 12th District. I went first, to see if it was as nice as we hoped it would be, and then signaled for my partner to follow the next month.
Seniority is the key word in this process. If you've got the seniority and a decent performance rating, you can transfer to any Police District in the city, but you must stay in your yew District for at least one year, so it's a good idea to check it out before you take that leap.
Cops are full of mischief, and, with too much time on their hands, they will come up with some way to manipulate the system, including the transfer system.
When I'd work Cabrini-Green on my days off during the mid-nineties, I started noticing that there were quite a few guys from the 3rd District, who were now working in the 18th Police District.
Basically, these guys, who were predominantly African American, were tired of working in the Ghetto as well. They all had quite a bit of seniority, enough in fact to take over the 3rd Watch in the 18th District...
So, if you ever hear White people complain that there aren't any more White coppers working in the 18th District, now you know why....
The photo used here is a B&W scan from a 35mm Kodachrome slide. I took it in February of 1977 in Daley Plaza where this Police Honor Guard was preparing for a visit from Mexican President Lopez Portillo, to lay a wreath at the Eternal Flame.
Brisbane's Shrine of Rememberance. Australia 's first eternal flame was lit in Brisbane on Armistice Day in 1930.
One of the sights to see around Buffalo NY is the Eternal Flame at Chestnut Ridge Park. While making the way to see it there are plenty of beautiful scenic shots while walking the creek to get to it.
Most of the flowers on the side will have been left by wedding parties, a central part of wedding day tradition in Russia is to lay flowers on a war memorial. Through the trees you can just see the Volga river.
Could not believe how many people were there on a Monday afternoon (on a cloudy day no less) but it was packed. Had to elbow my way in for a shot as everyone was doing the stupid tourist thing of posing next to it. Two dumb teenage girls had climbed up the trees onto the steep cliffs above it and I wondering if I was going to have to dial 9-1-1.
I know of another flame in Glen Falls I discovered in my Ecology class last fall that not many people know about.
For the Lady in New York Harbour, and the Lady who became a Princess!
The Flame of Liberty (Flamme de la Liberté) in Paris is a full-sized, gold-leaf-covered replica of the new flame at the upper end of the torch carried in the hand of the Statue of Liberty at the entrance to the harbor of New York City since 1986.
The flame became an unofficial memorial for Diana, Princess of Wales after her 1997 death in the tunnel beneath the Pont de l'Alma.[3] The flame became an attraction for tourists and followers of Diana, who fly-posted the base with commemorative material.
The monument, which measures approximately 3.5 metres in height, is a sculpture of a flame, executed in gilded copper, supported by a pedestal of gray-and-black marble. It is located near the northern end of the Pont de l'Alma, on the Place de l'Alma, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It was offered to the city of Paris in 1989 by the International Herald Tribune.
This is located on the traffic Island at the junction of Amiens Street and Memorial Road, close to Busáras and The Customs House.
Making a guess I would say that most people drive or walk by this without being aware that it is a sculpture which is a pity. It is known as ’Universal Links on Human Rights’ and it is a memorial in the form of a sphere of welded interlinked chains and bars. It is 260cm in diameter and it contains eternal flame powered by natural gas from Kinsale.
This sculpture was commissioned by Amnesty International in 1995. It represents the jails around the world holding prisoners of conscience.
L'escultura "The Sphere", de Fritz Koenig, va pasar de ser unicament una escultura al mig d'una gran plaça moderna entre les dues Torres Bessones, a ser el monument provisional a les victimes del 11-S. Tot i que es va trobar al mig d'aquell infern, en va sortir prou sencera.
Ara es troba a Battery Park, a només uns 500 metres d'on estava al WTC.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sphere
-----------------------------------
The Sphere was just a modern art sculpture by Fritz Koenig, placed in the middle of the WTC complex. Till that 2001 day. Buried in debris after 9/11, it survived quite in one piece (considering all the destruction arround it), and now it's a provisional memorial to the victims of 9/11. It's located in Battery Park.
The 44-meter stele symbolizes the national rebirth of Armenians. Twelve slabs are positioned in a circle, representing the 12 lost provinces in present day Turkey. In the center of the circle, at a depth of 1.5 meters, there is an eternal flame dedicated to the 1.5 million people killed during the Armenian Genocide.

The Healing Hands is a hollow bronze hand patterned sphere containing an eternal flame and supported on a squat tree-trunk style pedestal. It was erected in 2000 to celebrate the third millennium of the birth of Christ. This sculpture is intended to symbolise the healing ministry of Christ which continues through the care of the staff of the neighbouring Mater Hospital which was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1861.
This is located on the traffic Island at the junction of Amiens Street and Memorial Road, close to Busáras and The Customs House.

The Arc de Triomphe (officially Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile), is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France. It is located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle—formerly known as Place de l'Étoile—named for the star-shaped configuration formed by the convergence of twelve radiating avenues. The monument and the surrounding plaza are situated at the intersection of three arrondissements (Parisian administrative districts): the 16th (to the south and west), the 17th (to the north), and the 8th (to the east). Commissioned to honor those who fought and died for France during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Arc bears the names of French victories and generals engraved on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I, marked by an eternal flame commemorating unidentified fallen soldiers.
Additional information on L’Arc de Triomphe may be found at Wikipedia.
Couple mourning their loss at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside the walls of the Kremlin in Moscow Russia
After John F. Kennedy was assassinated, his wife, Jackie Kennedy, was very specific about the type of memorial she wanted him to have. She had previously admired the eternal flame at the tomb of the French Unknown Soldier in Paris, and felt that a similar tribute would be appropriate for her husband. The idea was approved, and the Washington Gas Company had about a day to design a propane torch that could be used at the funeral. They pulled it off, and the flame has been burning ever since.
