My first shot of many from The London Open House Weekend. This one is taken inside City Hall at the fabulous spiral staircase. It took some patience to try and get a shot without any people but almost did it here.
I tired to do something different here. Although I love all the silvers and greys I have opted to give it a an edge with some grading. Edited in Photoshop CS5, Photomatix Pro & Color Efex Pro 4.
有些人生活慢慢穩定之後便會開始抱怨日子變得一成不變，生活缺少樂趣，做起事情來總便提不起勁。對於這樣的狀況我自己的排解之道就是想辦法為自己製造一些值得「期待」的小事件。因為有了這些可以期待的事情，心情就會突然變得愉悅起來，完成那些日常必須的枯燥瑣事時也會覺得心甘情願，對待人事物的態度也會比較有耐心，生命好像多了那麼一點點點存在的意義。
到底該製造哪些值得「期待」的小事件呢？答案絕對是因人而異的。也許是在網路上訂購了一本雜誌後，期待郵差按鈴寄收到可以開心翻閱的片刻；也許是趁好天氣的週末跟家人出遊，期待一路上特別的風景和共處一整天的時光；或許是去巷口租一片口碑不錯的DVD，期待躺在家裡的沙發上好好欣賞與享受的時段；再不然如果你剛好是個喜歡拍照的人，記得拿出把相機裝上底片狂拍幾卷之後，就可以好好期待沖洗出來之後慢慢回味那些被快門凍結的瞬間。

I am giddy, expectation whirls me round.
The imaginary relish is so sweet
That it enchants my sense.

Sometimes, I get a rare opportunity to visit some where incredibly special. A liminal space that defies expectation. This is such a place. I will be posting more images over the coming week of this unique monument.
In Bulgaria, the Buzludzha Monument sits 1441 meters high, on the historic site of the final battle between Bulgarian rebels and the Ottoman Empire in 1868. It was built in 1981, to commemorate the secret meetings of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party. Which led by Dimitar Blagoev, met in the area to during the parties inception. Abandoned since 1991, it now stands decayed and falling into ruins.
Shushi, you are the anchor now for a fly
away dying sky, your hands reach out
to me under a waning moon, a moon
darkening like a flushed, bloodied face,
a moon disappearing into white shadows
cast up from the white bones. Shushi,
even the wind today that enters your
gates is treacherous and tricky. Your
streets are filled with my regrets; while
the sky above cracks as it sheds its wrap
in the inhuman Arctic cold.
"Shushi"

The Brickell Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge in Downtown Miami, Florida, that carries U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Brickell Avenue) over the Miami River.
The original Brickell Avenue Bridge was built in 1929 and replaced in 1995. The Brickell Avenue Bridge was widened by one additional northbound lane in 2006 to reduce the traffic bottleneck through downtown. Before this, there were three southbound but only two northbound lanes. Currently, there are three lanes in each direction as well as a pedestrian walkway on both sides. Still, the bridge causes frequent traffic delays on the busy Brickell Avenue when it opens. According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the bridge opened 4,990 times in 2010.
The statue is a 53-foot bronze monument commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation and created by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell in 1995. The "Pillar of History" consists of a 36-foot high carved bas-relief column that graphically narrates the lives of the Tequesta Indians, Miami's first inhabitants, and features 158 figures. At the top stands a 17-foot bronze sculpture, "Tequesta Family" portraying a Tequesta Indian warrior aiming an arrow to the sky, looking for space in eternity, with his wife and child by his side, while the son covers his face in expectation of their extinction.
Carbonell also created four bas reliefs, measuring 4-feet by 8-feet, which were installed in niches on the bridge's supporting piers. Each relief honors Miami's early founders and pioneers - William and Mary Brickell, Henry Flagler, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Julia Tuttle.

I feel expectation every day when it's time to open my Adventcalendar. I have one with nailpolishes and my husband gets a new beer everyday :)

Will it bloom this year? It’s everyone’s expectation and anyone’s guess. A super bloom, from what I’ve come to understand, must generally follow many years of drought that help rid the area of invasive grasses. Some reports I’ve read have said all the rains have been very good for invasive grasses this year which suppress native flowering plants. Here in a pretty exceptional year phacelia bloom on a mountain ridge as the normally brown and barren mountains stretch out towards a distant snow capped peak. A few spaces of yellow here and there in an otherwise unusually green world. How different will this year be? Only exploration and time will tell.
