These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.
Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.
It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.
So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?
The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.
Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.
When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!
You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.
The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

An article entitled, 'All The Keys For The Word 'T Y P E W R I T E R' Are On The Top Row. Why?' was one of the first on Newsvine to come across my screen in early 2007. According to the article, the QWERTY layout, named from the first six letters in the top row, was designed to slow typists down, preventing key jams. Issues such as 30% of typing was done on the hard to reach bottom row were observed by many. Most notable of these was Dr. August Dvorak, who began studying letter frequencies and hand motions, eventually creating a layout designed to resolve QWERTY's inadequacies.
Proponents of the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard claim the layout "uses less finger motion, increases typing rate, and reduces errors compared to the standard QWERTY keyboard. This reduction in finger distance travelled was originally purported to permit faster rates of typing, but in later years was also purported to reduce repetitive strain injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome."
This should be enough to get anyone to consider a switch. If this article had not been seeded to Newsvine, it's pretty likely this information would never have been found.
Although learning to type a second time after using the standard layout for a decade became infuriatingly frustrating, the keys were removed from my board and rearranged in preparation of a permanent change. Some would only go in upside-down. QWERTY became all but forgotten until mid-2009 when having to learn to type a third time became necessary. Today, after four years of typing woes, it can now be said my proficiency in switching between both layouts is merely adequate.
It's never been personally tested but there hasn't been a noticeable increase in typing speed. Nor can it be said with certainty that Dvorak is more ergonomically sound. What can be said, however, is that it makes a fine computer security system, the frustration is too much for most.
Almost entitled this Francs for the Memories, since Euros are IN now. Or maybe "Francly, my dear ..." At any rate, the 20 Centimes piece atop the pile is 15/16ths of an inch in diameter, more or less. This is with an ancient Soligor 70-220mm C/D macro-zoom lens in manual mode, on a Pentax istDS with AE (aperture preferred), manual focus ... at a distance of 4 inches at 70mm. This lens will focus to 1 inch at 220mm. Not bad for a 30+ year-old lens! Lighting was indirect sunlight filtering through venetian blinds in a 6x6-foot window about 8 feet from the coins, in the direction of upper left of the photo. Aperture f5.6, shutter 1/250th.

This installation entitled “Unlimited Talk and Text” challenges us to face the reality of the times we live in. A 10ft (3m) paper mâchéd tree sculpted with pages from found phone books is reincarnated again to its natural posture reminding us of the past we once lived in while at the same time reminding us of the future that is ahead of us. The phonebook is no longer a necessity as technology advances us into a paperless society putting this species of ‘staple household items’ on the endangered list while the process of making these books also leads to putting species of trees, forests, habitats etc. on the endangered list as well.
An exhibition entitled “Furthering Intellectual Property in Colombia” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from October 2-11, 2017.

The sculpture, entitled “Züge in das Leben - Züge in den Tod” (Trains to Life – Trains to Death) commemorates a period from 1938 to 1939 when, in response to a plea from the British Jewish Refugee Committee, the British government allowed German refugee children under 17 into the UK. The program brought children from throughout the areas controlled by Germany, including Polish, German, Austrian, and Czech children. Children traveled by train (including through this station) to Holland and then by ship to the UK; in the UK most were treated well by parents that volunteered to take them in, but some were basically dumped into the labor market. Approximately 10,000 were rescued in this way, which is less than 1% of the 1.6 million Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust.
It should be noted that this level of humanitarian response was low. Jewish refugees were widely rejected, even by the UK and the US, during Hitler’s persecution of Jews prior to WWII.

The sculptor, Frank Meisler, was a Kindertransport child, traveling from his home in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) to London in 1939. Sculptures by him commemorating the Kindertransport are in London, Rotterdam, Gdansk, Hamburg, and this one in Berlin.

A kinetic sculpture entitled Heureka by Jean Tinguely (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Tinguely) on the shore of Lake Zurich.
The sculpture is as much an auditory event as it is visual, with all the rusted whirrings of the gears, belts, wheels, and pulleys.
I found a video (alas, no sound) on YouTube, which conveys some of the effect. Watch the video all the way to the end, the last few seconds convey the scale of the machine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8plV5trScw
It was interesting trying to photograph the sculpture, because there is so much going on. I decided to take a few shots of the gears I like the most. I found it impossible to take a picture of the entire machine that captured enough of the details that made it interesting.
Just now I browsed around Flickr to see if I could find a macro view of the sculpture I liked, and I like this one. flickr.com/photos/bskl/74556729/
The Primary Section had a special assembly entitled -" Dubai Modern High joins World Malaria Day" where students were briefed about causes of Malaria and the need to support this cause.
All students and teachers sported the blue ribbon.

A display board has also been put up in the Primary Section having the necessary information about the challenge.
World Malaria Day Report - Senior School
The students of Dubai Modern High School visited the village of Ambedkar Nagar, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, during the month of March, as part of their commitment and resolve to protect the environment against degradation. However, when the students ventured into the village, they realized that the lack of rainwater harvesting was only one of their problems; they were also struggling with the spread of vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, typhoid and cholera. Improperly dumped waste, clogged drains and inadequate sanitation had led to the breeding of mosquitoes which led to the local residents being afflicted with malaria and other extremely serious diseases.
As part of Modern's steadfastness and commitment to the project and the villagers concerned, the students also undertook measures to alleviate the local inhabitants of their struggle against the deadly disease. The students attended a water literacy program organized by the local NGO, Dhan Foundation with which we were collaborating, and worked with the villagers in helping them understand the causes, symptoms and measures to reduce the spread of malaria.
As the photographs are too big to be sent by email, so we've put them in Powerpoint files and uploaded them on a personal server so you can download it from there.

A photograph entitled "Abou Yehya El-Solh" by Maher El-Jubbah (15) from Baalbek. In an interview (http://www.aawsat.com/details.asp?section=54&article=563051&issueno=11445) Maher said he didn't know he had an eye for pictures or a talent in photography until he was randomly recruited by Zakira to take part in their Al-Lahza and Ma Ba3da Al-Lahza photography projects.
Ma Ba3d al-La7za is the second exhibition organised by Zakira, an NGO aspiring to empower young kids from Palestinian refugee camps and the deprived peripheral Lebanese towns and villages. The project equips the children with cameras and allows them to express their feelings and capture life through their lenses.
The exhibition was held in the exhibition room under Al-Madina Theatre, Rue Hamra between March 26 and April 3, 2010.

Die Werke von Willem de Rooij kreisen um Fragen nach Repräsentation und Bedeutung. Seit den frühen 1990er-Jahren arbeitet der niederländische Künstler in unterschiedlichen Medien wie Installation, Fotografie und Film. Für seine Ausstellung „Entitled“ im MMK 2 des MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main hat er Werke und Werkgruppen aus frühen Schaffensphasen bis zur Gegenwart erstmals zu einer neuen, den gesamten Museumsraum umfassenden Installation vereint.
„Willem de Rooij ist mit wichtigen Werken aus seiner Kooperation mit Jeroen de Rijke in der Sammlung des MMK vertreten. Wir freuen uns, mit dieser Ausstellung das Œuvre von de Rooij noch intensiver und umfassender beleuchten zu können“, sagt Prof. Dr. Susanne Gaensheimer, Direktorin des MMK.
De Rooij studierte an der Gerrit Rietveld Akademie und an der Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Seit 2006 lehrt er als Professor für Bildende Künste an der Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Von 1995 bis 2006 arbeitete er zusammen mit Jeroen de Rijke (1970–2006).
Bei dieser Ausstellung stehen sowohl die einzelnen Arbeiten des Künstlers im Mittelpunkt als auch ihre Anordnung in einer umfassenden Installation, die speziell für die Räume des
MMK 2 entwickelt wurde. „In der Anordnung der Werke zu einer Gesamtinstallation sieht Willem de Rooij einen wichtigen Teil seiner Arbeit als Künstler. Der Raum – ob privat, öffentlich, institutionell oder sozial – ist dabei zentral. Der Raum zwischen den einzelnen Werken und die Aussichten auf den städtischen Umraum schaffen eine Beziehung zwischen dem Werk und dem Betrachter, zwischen dem Museum und der Stadt.“, sagt Klaus Görner, Kurator der Ausstellung.
Durch die bewusste Einbindung von Zwischenräumen und Fensteröffnungen stellt die Installation im MMK 2 Verbindungen zwischen dem Innenraum und der äußeren Umgebung her. Die Präsentation ist dabei nicht als Parcours oder Abfolge aufgebaut, sondern als ein Gefüge verschiedener Zonen, die sich gegenseitig durchdringen und über Blickachsen miteinander verknüpft sind. Dadurch deckt die Installation Referenzen innerhalb de Rooijs Œuvre auf.

On 14th March 2010 we attended the Private View to Roger Wagner's exhibition of Menorah and Book of Praises at the Ashmolean Museum. Roger's work was well displayed in one of the new galleries and although I have known this painting since first seeing it at Dorchester Abbey, it has never looked better. Richard Harries the former Bishop of Oxford gave a brief talk on Roger's work and its significance. The exhibition runs until 24th March then at St Giles Oxford. The painting Menorah has been acquired by the museum, the Ashmolean held a one man show of his work back in 1994. I have since come to know Roger personally and have a great admiration and respect for his dedication and singular artistic vision.
Roger Wagner is an artist very much in the tradition of Samuel Palmer, William Blake and Stanley Spencer. He works in a figurative style on Biblical subjects often with strong symbolic elements. This painting hangs in St Giles (Oxford), The former Bishop of Oxford The Rt Revd Richard Harries is a great supporter of Roger's art. Roger had a one man exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford in 1994
A book that has recently been published on Roger Wagner's work is entitled "Forms of Transendence" by Chris Miller with a foreword by Richard Harries, published by Piquant editions ISBN 978-1-903689-55-4. It is well illustrated with examples of his work from 1984 to the present day.

Welcome to my latest Flickr series entitled "Quintessential Ireland". During our honeymoon, my wife and I stopped in Kinsale, County Cork. While walking through the bustling fishing village, I stumbled upon the studio of Giles Norman, an Irish B&W landscape artist. His work was an inspiration for this series.
This series will include pictures from all over Ireland including Dublin, Kilkenny, Kinsale, Cobh, Kenmare, Killarney, Galway, Doolin, Dingle, Cashel, Blarney, etc.
In this series, I will have photos of the majestic scenery in Ireland such as Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula and the Cliffs of Moher, as well as scenes I associate with Ireland such as boat scenes, pubs, and castles. I hope you like this series as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
To see large on black to really pull out the details, please push "L" on your keyboard or click the photo.
I'm always looking for ways to improve my photos, so please take a second to leave a comment or critique! Thank you all for viewing my photo!
My most interesting photos!
A cultural event entitled “Follow Georgia” featuring an exhibition of work by contemporary Georgian artist Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze and a music performance by ethno-jazz band “Shin” was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from October 2-11, 2017.
Ms. Tamara Kvesitadze’s works take roots in antiquity and mythology as well as in surrealism, which successfully combine art and construction. The music of the Shin smoothly combines Georgian folk melodies with jazz, which is the sound of Georgia’s musical encounter with the world.
WIPO co-organized the event with the Government of Georgia to mark the 25th Anniversary of the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – SAKPATENTI.

Pana-vue Superdia slide GB2191 entitled Torquay, Torre Abbey Gardens. Slides like these were sold in sets of three during the 1960s. Originally in colour, this has totally faded over the years.
From The Guardian, 13 December 2023: "Palm trees that have welcomed visitors to the “English riviera” for a century have been cut down without warning in an act that residents have described as “pure vandalism”.
The felling of 40 trees in Torquay, Devon, has provoked a furious public outcry and accusations that the council has wrought a “soul-destroying”, “total destruction” of the seaside front.
The beloved palms that some local people say are synonymous with the seaside town – the hapless hotel manager Basil Fawlty even boasted about them in an episode of Fawlty Towers – have stood in the Italian Gardens, which look out over Torre Abbey Sands, since they were first planted in 1924.
But dozens of them have been chopped down to their stumps without consultation or notice by Torbay council as part of the restoration of the gardens ahead of its 100th anniversary next year.
The council has promised that the garden will be transformed over the winter and into the spring, with more planting scheduled. It said the palms had showed signs of significant degradation in the past 20 years and work was being carried out by its contractors to upgrade the site.
Public consultation in 2019 identified the Italian Gardens as a priority for restoration, but the scheme was delayed due to the pandemic"

These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

The performance series, entitled The Market of Toys, was created specifically for Times Square. It is composed of four distinctive minimalistic single-element actions representative of Akademia Ruchu’s 40 years of experience working in the public realm. These austere, participatory interventions will simultaneously contrast and emphasize the vibrant character of Times Square and its multitude of visitors. The performances will be complemented by videos chronicling some of the collective’s seminal performances. These 30 second videos will play every 5 minutes on 10 CEMUSA newspaper kiosks located between 34th-48th Streets. A printed exhibition in the form of a newspaper documenting Academia Ruchu’s deep history of socially and politically driven public performances will be handed out to visitors.
Akademia Ruchu (The Academy of Movement) has been a political sounding board in Poland since its establishment in 1973 in Warsaw. Operating at the juncture of theater, performances, political actions, and anonymous interventions in the public realm which and with the involvement of spectators.

An exhibition of the Church of Ireland’s historical architectural drawings – entitled A Visual Window to an Ecclesiastical World – will be launched by the Archbishop of Armagh, the Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke, next Tuesday evening (7th May) at the Architecture Gallery, in the Irish Architectural Archive, 45 Merrion Square, Dublin. Admission is free and the exhibition will be open to the public Tuesday to Friday (10am–5pm) until Friday, 30th August. The exhibition is curated by Dr Michael O’Neill FSA and draws on his extensive research into the Church’s architectural history, which has included the digitization of over 8,000 drawings to safeguard them for future generations.
The Church of Ireland’s churches, cathedrals and glebe houses have made an indelible impression on the Irish landscape. Spires, towers and pinnacles punctuate the skyline while in subtler ways the residential aesthetic of the glebe houses provide visual indicators of the former pre–eminence of the Church of Ireland – the Established or state Church until 1871.
Whilst many of the churches no longer function as places of worship, and the surviving glebe houses have either passed to private ownership, or have simply disappeared, an extensive collection of almost 9,000 original drawings (plans, elevations, sections and details) continues to document this ecclesiastical world, providing an important resource for understanding the architectural, liturgical, social and cultural development of the Church of Ireland through the centuries. The collection also covers many churches and indeed rectories which are still in use and occupied by the Church.
Created for the most part under the auspices of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners (1833 onwards), which had succeeded the Board of First Fruits (founded in 1711), the materials were initially accumulated in the diocesan registries to which they related, while others passed directly into the custody of the Representative Church Body (RCB), the charitable trust created after Disestablishment in the 1870s. Over the decades, these have been carefully accessioned and arranged in the RCB Library, founded in 1931, which is the Church of Ireland’s record repository.
There are 860 drawings of the cathedrals of Christ Church and St Patrick’s in Dublin as well as the diocesan cathedral of St Canice’s in Kilkenny, while a further 300 drawings are of glebe houses, but the majority (some 7,600 drawings) show varying aspects of the parish churches throughout the island. Some are the work of distinguished architects such as John Semple, James Pain, Joseph Welland, William Farrell, William Atkins, Lanyon, Lynn & Lanyon, J. Rawson Carroll, and W.J. Barre and are beautiful artworks in their own right, as well as in utility.
However, being outsize and clearly working drawings, many of which were in fact drawn on tracing paper, they are also fragile and cumbersome to handle. To reduce the wear and tear, but also to showcase them to a wider audience, the drawings have been systematically digitized and catalogued in the Library, and are now freely available to view online at archdrawing.ireland.anglican.org
A Visual Window to an Ecclesiastical World is arranged chronologically and thematically, aiming to guide the viewer through a representative selection of the overall collection and literally open a window to the past, telling the story of who designed these buildings – why and when they were built (or rebuilt). Dr Michael O’Neill FSA has digitized and catalogued the entire collection. This is one of the Church of Ireland’s events commemorating the 150th anniversary of Disestablishment, and represents a most positive collaboration between the RCB Library and the Irish Architectural Archive which will house the exhibition between May and August, with a series of lectures planned for Heritage Week later in the year.
Dr Michael Webb says: ‘As Chairman of the Irish Architectural Archive and as Chairman of the RCB Library and Archives Committee it is a particular pleasure to bring both organizations together for this exhibition. The Architectural Archive has the national collection of architectural drawings and is custodian of over 500,000 drawings of buildings from all over Ireland. The RCB Library has a unique collection of almost 9,000 drawings of churches, and rectories. It is wonderful to be able to display a selection of these drawings in the gallery which was specially designed for architectural drawings.’
Dr Susan Hood, Librarian and Archivist at the RCB Library, says: ‘This exhibition showcases in public for the first time some of the original drawings making up the collection at the RCB Library. It also marks the culmination of over eight years of hard work by Dr Michael O’Neill to catalogue and digitize the entire collection making it available for a worldwide audience through the Church of Ireland website. This painstaking and dedicated work (generously supported with church and other funding) demonstrates the Library’s capacity to digitize and share its unique holdings – literally opening a window to the past!’
