Remember this date, but be careful! On this day, a most seditious text was published - Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes". Disguised as a fairy tale, what you have here is a manual of how to let the air go out of a hyper-inflated fantasist. Following this manual, it would be revealed to the world that this guy is actually a patient escaped from the madhouse, that his decisions are not simply erratic, but that they are based on a mixture of profound incompetence and blatant ignorance. But be careful! Copy the text before you go public. The guy would declare it as "woke" and ask the courts to make sure that Andersen's books would be removed from the libraries. What? What are you saying? You don't need to read the "Emperor's New Clothes" because you have known all along that this guy is a flatliner? Well, in this case you would need to proceed from interpretation to action. Good luck! Fuji X-Pro3 plus Fujinon XF 1.4/35.
Loved the *decor* with the brick walls, and thought the recently purchased cement elephant sculpture (with the miniatures on its head) fit right in, along with the two small terra cotta plant holders! I've deleted my previous commentary on the restaurant . . . so some of the comments below may seem a bit confusing! No one wants a bad taste in their mouth!!!!
I really luv this LEGO "Hans Christian Andersen" Pop-Up Book 'cos it does bring back loadsa childhood memories!
I remember I always laughed my head off whenever mom read out "The Emperor's New Clothes"... :DDD

SHALE GAS FOR PROSPERITY. So declares the the slogan on the hull of the JS INEOS INDEPENDENCE as it motors up the Firth of Forth.
She is a liquified gas freighter plying her trade across the Atlantic Ocean. Where is she today? You can check that here: www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9744960 .
The acronym comes from INspec Ethylene Oxide and Specialities, founded in Antwerp. Their name is painted on a Chinese ship registered in Malta. Theirs is a major chemical company and it's worth asking if one of their products is invisible ink. What I can't see here after that slogan is just who is getting this "prosperity" from the exploitation of a finite environmentally damaging hydrocarbon commodity? If we could make it visible we might just find money is flowing to the few at the expense of the many and the eternal detriment of the environment on which we all depend.
Various MOCs on display at the 2013 LEGO Fan Weekend in Skærbæk, Denmark. This is Svend Erik Saksun's interpretation of H.C. Andersen's classic tale about the emperor's new clothes.
Here's an oldie from 2013. This is from Emperor's New Clothes story, the moment when these two sketchy characters appeared in the city.
This is a Statue of Roman Emperor Trebonianus Gallus on Display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central Park Manhattan New York. But it reminded me of :
The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen 1837

Of course, all the townspeople wildly praised the magnificent clothes of the emperor, afraid to admit that they could not see them, until a small child said:
"But he has nothing on!"
This was whispered from person to person until everyone in the crowd was shouting that the emperor had nothing on. The emperor heard it and felt that they were correct, but held his head high and finished the procession.
The spectacular redesign and reinstallation of the Museum’s superb collection of classical art is now complete. The unveiling of the New Greek and Roman Galleries—which include the dramatic Leon Levy and Shelby White Court—concluded a 15-year project and returned thousands of works from the Museum’s permanent collection to public view. Some 5,200 objects in more than 30,000 square feet are displayed, completing the reinstallation of the Met’s exceptional collection of Hellenistic, Etruscan, and Roman art.

Al Gore was "allegedly" found in the back seat of his car in a compromising position singing at the top of his lungs. He blurted out, "I confess, I confess, global warming is a lie". When approached by the capital police, Mr. Gore said he was practicing his kareoke routine on his "Mr. Microphone". When asked why he wasn't wearing trousers, he replied, "I'm wearing a fine pair of trousers, can't you see them'? So much for global warming!

Our version of "The Emperor's New Clothes", was presented in the style of Japanese Kabuki Theatre, featuring: make-up, costumes, and dance/movement similar to the classic Kabuki Theatre.
I played one of the two flattering, royal Ministers who are exposed as greedy phonies bythe clever weavers. Compare this to:
Boba Fett - master of animal cruelty. Dengar - 2 colors is 2 too many. Bossk - find some shoes, hippie. IG-88 - i can't say anything bad about you ever. zuckuss - more like 4-LOM, am i right?? 4-LOM - you're cool.

I've always loved this one, since I saw it first 21 years ago. And I really like this picture of it, too - am very happy with the reflection in the mirror-surface behind the sculptures.

Arguably the greatest potential threat to world peace.
I've no time at all for Clinton either, but she seems the 'safer' of two evils.

'Tangled Royal Thread' is a flame fractal featuring tangled and knotted purple, gold, and red thread which were used in the Emperor's old clothes before he cast them aside for the New. The Emperor's New Clothes is a story by Hans Christian Andersen demonstrating the conformity of adults and the honesty of a child.
It is the 6th fractal of the 'Fables' series.

The Unilever Series at the Tate Modern has been, pretty much, a constant delight for 8 years. This year Doris Salcedo has put a crack in the floor, the length of the Turbine Hall.
It's apparently to represent cracks in culture/society and is about racism. It's also meant to be "a crack in the very foundations of modernity".
Cobblers. It's just a flipping great trip hazard. Bring back the sunset or the massive red canvas ear things. Even the sugar cubes were better than this. Maybe I'm a philistine. Maybe I don't care.
Gives good photo though.
in Summer Palace, I saw a couple wanna to take a "COSPLAY" photo like the emperor and the queen.
But When I look into their new clothes for behind, I found...
Oh, I know now what's beneath the Emperor's New Clothes.

Looking for something interesting to photograph today. Went to the Town Hall on a drizzly evening. Did a multiple exposure of two art peices on display. What do you think?

Radar and I sat for a good 10 minutes to read the abstract and figure it out. Nope. Still bollocks.

Neighborhood rebranding at Woodbine and Danforth. Shiny new banners are popping up all around the city. The stretch of Danforth between Jones and Westlake is included under this particular umbrella.
