The Gem Theater was built around 1910 and was a silent films venue played for African American audiences until it closed in the 1970s. It was substantially refurbished as authentically as possible and reopened in the 1990s as a performing arts theater and the centerpiece of the redeveloped 18th and Vine jazz district.
The sign is authenic in vintage style but a reproduction, fabricated about 1990.
Lastly, I applied stick-on black gem stones in a 'swirl' like pattern on the left side of her face. I used eye lash adhesive to stick the gem stones to the face, after asking if my model was allergic to latex as some glue's do contain latex and can give a reaction.

Processed version of an image from the Hubble Space Telescope of NGC 6818, a planetary nebula called the Little Gem Nebula.
Original caption: This colourful bubble is a planetary nebula called NGC 6818, also known as the Little Gem Nebula. It is located in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), roughly 6000 light-years away from us. The rich glow of the cloud is just over half a light-year across — humongous compared to its tiny central star — but still a little gem on a cosmic scale. When stars like the Sun enter retirement, they shed their outer layers into space to create glowing clouds of gas called planetary nebulae. This ejection of mass is uneven, and planetary nebulae can have very complex shapes. NGC 6818 shows knotty filament-like structures and distinct layers of material, with a bright and enclosed central bubble surrounded by a larger, more diffuse cloud. Scientists believe that the stellar wind from the central star propels the outflowing material, sculpting the elongated shape of NGC 6818. As this fast wind smashes through the slower-moving cloud it creates particularly bright blowouts at the bubble’s outer layers. Hubble previously imaged this nebula back in 1997 with its Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, using a mix of filters that highlighted emission from ionised oxygen and hydrogen (opo9811h). This image, while from the same camera, uses different filters to reveal a different view of the nebula. A version of the image was submitted to the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Judy Schmidt.
The Norwegian Gem, the latest ship newbuilding of the Meyer Shipyard in Papenburg (Germany), has been transfered through the small river Ems to Eemhaven (Netherlands) last saturday night. It was an amazing spectacle as every time :)
More playing with the new Macro lens, these are tiny assorted polished stones on a small mirror, focusing is a bit tricky but I am starting to get the hang of it, slowly.
(See links) This waterfall is a hidden gem near the I-40 corridor in Tennessee where Fall Creek plunges 110 feet into a small amphitheater. An impressive rock house "amphitheater" can be seen behind the falls that was created over geologic time by wind, water, freeze / thaw and erosion.
Ozone Falls State Natural Area is a state natural area in Cumberland County, Tennessee, located in the Southeastern United States. It consists of 43 acres centered on Ozone Falls, a 110-foot plunge waterfall, and its immediate gorge along Fall Creek.
Because of its picturesque beauty and easy access, Disney selected Ozone Falls for filming scenes for the live action movie Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. The area is managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and maintained by Cumberland Mountain State Park. It is also part of the Cumberland Trail State Park.
Migrants crossing the Cumberland Plateau en route to the Nashville area in the early 19th century wrote of Ozone Falls in journals and letters sent to relatives back home. The waterfall was located adjacent to the Walton Road, which was part of the stage route connecting East and Middle Tennessee (the road closely paralleled what is now US-70. One traveler along this road, Elijah Haley, died while passing through the area in 1806. His widow established a tavern at what is now the community of Ozone shortly thereafter, and later helped operate the Crab Orchard Inn at Crab Orchard, a few miles to the west. The waterfall was known as McNair Falls throughout the 19th century, named after a local miller who operated a grist mill at the waterfall in the 1860s. In 1896, the community of Mammy, which had grown up around the Haley tavern, changed its name to "Ozone", and the name was subsequently applied to the waterfall.
The name reflected the high quality of air in the community, which may have been enhanced by the waterfall's mists. The Ozone Falls State Natural Area was established in 1973, and originally consisted of 14 acres. In 1996, it was expanded to 43 acres.

Designed by Filipe Alarcão, Portugal's renowned product designer, the Gem table is made with DuPont's monteli. A new material very similar to Corian. The monteli however absorbs the bonding of specific glue differently, making it impossible to view the pieces connecting. The end result is a piece that looks like it's been carved from a single stone. This item was manufactured in a limited numbered edition and each unit includes a signed certificate engraved in the bottom of each GEM.
