This is a copy of an original bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. The original was created in George Washington’s home.
The colored rectangles on our national hero, our Republic's Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, our number one founding father, are my two cents of comment.

A successful experiment as I got to grips with a new (to me, anyway) camera, placing it directly on the pavement shortly after a shower. I hope it captures some of the atmosphere of a winter's evening in George Street.
Lake George, nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes, is a long, narrow oligotrophic lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. It lies within the upper region of the Great Appalachian Valley and drains northward into Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River drainage basin. The lake is situated along the historical natural (Amerindian) path between the valley of the Hudson River and that of the St. Lawrence, so lies on the direct land route between Albany, New York and Montreal, Canada. The lake extends about 32.2 mi (51.8 km) on a north-south axis, is quite deep, and varies from 1 to 3 miles (1.7 to 5 km) in width, presenting a significant barrier to east-west travel. Although the year-round population of the Lake George region is relatively small, the summertime population can swell to over 50,000 residents, many in the Village of Lake George region at the southern end of the lake.
Lake George drains into Lake Champlain to its north through a short stream, the La Chute River, with many falls and rapids, dropping about 230 feet (70 m) in its 3½-mile (6 km) course—virtually all of which is within the lands of Ticonderoga, New York and near the site of the famous Fort Ticonderoga. Ultimately the waters flowing via the 106-mile-long (171 km) Richelieu River empty into the St. Lawrence River downstream and northeast of Montreal and then into the North Atlantic Ocean above Nova Scotia.

A shot looking straight up with my UWA lens and head on the ground. I know similar shots have been done in the past, but I wanted my own here...

There are a couple of these inspection openings on the nature strip at the northern end of St Georges Rd. This artist now uses both of them... and, entertainingly, changes the theme quite often. A main artery into the cbd, no parking nearby... it was an experience to hear the sound of so many different car horns when I pulled over for a quick photo in the rush hour.

One of my favourite places from my trip this year to Malaysia. Looking out over George town, Malaysia, from Penang Hill
The George Mason Memorial is a memorial to Founding Father George Mason, the author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights that inspired the United States Bill of Rights. The Memorial is located in West Potomac Park within Washington, D.C. at 24 E Basin Drive SW, which is a part of the Tidal Basin. Authorized in 1990, with a groundbreaking in 2000 and dedication in 2002, the memorial includes a sculpture of Mason, a pool, trellis, circular hedges, and numerous inscriptions. It was the first memorial in the Tidal Basin area to be dedicated to someone who was not a former President of the United States .
George the dolphin has been following the sea taxis for 10 months now, one of the sailors told me. The taxi's motor is totally enclosed, so there's no danger to sea creatures. And George seems to love jumping through the boat's wake.
I wasn't expecting much for my birthday today, but this knocks spots off anything else! Please say hello to George, 9 weeks old, a Jack Russell retrieved from a farm in Wales today and now happily sleeping between us on the settee as I type!
It's been 18 months since we lost Toby, and he will never be replaced, but I'm sure George will be a star in his own right, he's certainly started in the right way, and seems to have settled in pretty seamlessly! Wednesday 21.6.17
Big George lives with his family in Lion Park, Johannesburg, S.A.. Lion Park is a vast savannah land with many African animals living almost in the wild . Meaning, their enclosures are huge, and appropriate to their needs.
The lions of the Lion Park are taken care by vets and fed by the Lion Park programme. The fact that they do not hunt does not mean that they do not have a normal life. Their very big enclosures are part of the natural African savannah. Each lion family/pride lives in separate enclosure, because each dominant male lion is the head of his pride and he protects it even against other lions.The lions are the only big cats that form a family/pride. Each pride consists of one or more males, but the one of them is the dominant.
The Lion Park has about 85 lions!! That are NEVER bred or moved elsewhere for “canned hunting” www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jun/03/canned-huntin... !! Canned hunting is a fast-growing business in South Africa, where thousands of lions are being bred on farms to be shot by wealthy foreign trophy-hunters!! According to me , ALL these persons involved in canned hunting are sick!! ”
“Sport Hunting” is a sickness, a perversion and a danger, and should be recognized as such!!
People who get their 'amusement' from hunting and killing defenseless animals, can only be suffering from a mental disorder.
In a world with boundless opportunities for amusement, it's detestable that anyone would choose to get thrills from killing others, who ask for nothing from life but the chance to remain alive. ” Sir Roger Moore
( All these photos are taken from a protected , "caged" Savannah jeep, where I had to place my camera to shoot through the iron protection holes. Wherever the photo shows a foggy area , these are the iron protection bars of the jeep. In this splendid case, I was the caged one and not the adorable lions!)
