Raindrops falling in slow motion...
They danced with such a rhythm.
They moved with such a grace,
as though meditating in sanctum,
They filled the airspace.
They performed their ethereal ballet,
to the winds' orchestrated cadence.
With nature's unique cachet,
enrapturing me in transience.
Willing time, to standstill a moment,
shivering, I watch them waft around me.
Lost listening to their mordents,
unconsciously pulling close my chamois.
Devouring, with my eyes for maws,
Oh! what a magical sight that was!

How to work around the censorship in Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore and Korea:
Flickr now censors all non-safe photos from members using a Yahoo-ID created with Yahoo.de (Germany), or indicating a location in Hong Kong, Singapore, or Korea. In order to see censored photos, you might have to create a yahoo-ID with yahoo.com and make sure that the location that you enter is NOT in Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong or Korea. If you already have a Flickr account that is being censored by Yahoo (e.g. in Germany), you should create another Yahoo-ID as descibed above (i.e. not created with Yahoo.de) and transfer your Flickr account to that new Yahoo-ID using the Yahoo-ID Transfer Tool.

Rainbow Explorer was a spacecraft launched from Earth. It was piloted by Marlena Glenn; however, the space probe was caught up in a Cosmic Storm and was forced to land on Eternia.
My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

I don't know how much I'll be able to be on Flickr except to post some photos because my hip surgery is taking place on Feb. 9th and I have a lot of things to do. I'll stop in whenever possible but I know that I will miss a lot of photos. Right now I want to spend time getting things ready, spend time with my family, and my dogs. I hope you all understand. Hopefully I'll have a chance to let everyone know how I'm doing after I get home from the hospital. I'll do that as soon as possible. Obviously it will be awhile before I can come back to Flickr in full force. I wish you all a very nice week and want to thank you all for being such great friends here on Flickr. Lots of love and hugs!
I'm sorry that I am posting so many photos. I just have so many and I want to have more on here for the Cincinnati Zoo. You certainly don't have to comment on them because I can't promise that I'll be able to visit your beautiful photostreams consistently for awhile. I'll miss seeing all your beautiful photos and talking with you all. Thanks everyone!

Was riding back from work when I noticed that an Explore was sat outside my Sons School. Driver had popped into Tesco opposite to get Son munch for his travels.

Piazza San Marco (often known in English as St Mark's Square), is the principal square of Venice, Italy.
A remark often attributed to Napoleon (but perhaps more correctly to Alfred de Musset) calls the Piazza San Marco "The drawing room of Europe". It is one of the few great urban spaces in a Europe where human voices prevail over the sounds of motorized traffic, which is confined to Venice's waterways. It is the only urban space called a piazza in Venice; the others, regardless of size, are called campi.
As the central landmark and gathering place for Venice, Piazza San Marco is extremely popular with tourists, photographers, and Venetian pigeons.
The Piazza originated in the 9th century as a small area in front of the original St Mark's Basilica. It was enlarged to its present size and shape in 1177, when the Rio Batario, which had bounded it to the west, and a dock, which had isolated the Doge's Palace from the square, were filled in. The rearrangement was for the meeting of Pope Alexander III and the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
The Piazza has always been seen as the centre of Venice. It was the location of all the important offices of the Venetian state, and has been the seat of the archbishopric since the 19th century. It was also the focus for many of Venice's festivals. It is a greatly popular place in Italy even today.
The first Ford Explorers were 4-door SUVs based on their Ranger pickup truck line. As popular as the Explorers came to be, at a certain point I suppose that there was a perceived market to have a pickup truck version of the Explorer (i.e. with an open box), hence the Explorer Sport Trac!
The Door to Hell is a natural gas field in Darvaza, Turkmenistan. The Door to Hell is noted for its natural gas fire which has been burning continuously since it was lit by Soviet petrochemical scientists in 1971. The fire is fed by the rich natural gas deposits in the area. The pungent smell of burning sulfur pervades the area for some distance.
As we strolled here we had no idea that behind the facades lay the Storkyrkobadet-a historic basement bath-house with pool and sauna-we should have brought our bathing costumes !

My niece who was a baby not so long ago having to watch over her lil bit cousins scattered all over. We were at one of our sister's house for a get together today (well, almost yesterday now) ... all the kids were out by a pond in her backyard .. and paparazzi was right behind following them around ;-P
(I usually don't take people photography, but thinking of starting that soon. But what better way to start from home and then move into street .. (well, if I can) ... I would appreciate your critique, comments, feedback etc. Thanks.
Thanks for not pasting "multi-invites" and also for not copying/pasting comment code without comment associated with it
