Four green portions of trees anchor this photo of one of my favorite barns near my hometown. Living in Minnesota, we are often blessed with late spring snowstorms that bluster and blow threatening to stay around for the next few months. They don't and because it is late spring, the snow usually clings to everything and as it comes down, it is as if God shook the globe and let the snow settle.

This aurora here at South Pole looks like it just comes out of the South Pole Station as green exhaust.
The Winter Palace was the official residence of the Russian Emperors from 1732 to 1917. Today, the palace and its precincts form the Hermitage Museum. Situated between Palace Embankment and Palace Square, in Saint Petersburg, adjacent to the site of Peter the Great's original Winter Palace, the present and fourth Winter Palace was built and altered almost continuously between the late 1730s and 1837, when it was severely damaged by fire and immediately rebuilt. The storming of the palace in 1917, as depicted in Soviet propaganda art and Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October, became an iconic symbol of the Russian Revolution.
As completed, the overriding exterior form of the Winter Palace's architecture, with its decoration in the form of statuary and opulent stucco work on the pediments above façades and windows, is Baroque. The exterior has remained as finished during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The principal façades, those facing the Palace Square and the Neva river, have always been accessible and visible to the public. Only the lateral façades are hidden behind granite walls, concealing a garden created during the reign of Nicholas II. The building was conceived as a town palace, rather than a private palace within a park, such as that of the French kings at Versailles.
The palace was constructed on a monumental scale that was intended to reflect the might and power of Imperial Russia. From the palace, the Tsar ruled over 22,400,000 square kilometers (8,600,000 sq mi) (almost 1/6 of the Earth's landmass) and over 125 million subjects by the end of the 19th century. It was designed by many architects, most notably Bartolomeo Rastrelli, in what came to be known as the Elizabethan Baroque style. The green-and-white palace has the shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 215 metres (705 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases. Following a serious fire, the palace's rebuilding of 1837 left the exterior unchanged, but large parts of the interior were redesigned in a variety of tastes and styles, leading the palace to be described as a "19th-century palace inspired by a model in Rococo style".
An abandoned Hospital with some nice details left behind. Looks like a zombie apocalypse happened in places and they just left or succumbed to the outbreak.

A juvenile Green Woodpecker is still young enough to get a mucky face when it eats. I guess all babies are the same?
Rolling green hills stretch into the distance underneath a sky with white clouds, while a few scattered trees add depth and contrast to the vibrant landscape.
This truck has likely been rusting in the desert in Joshua Tree National Park since the early 40's when its owner Bill Keys was sent to prison for murdering another man. After 12 years, the murder conviction was overturned. Keys was released when evidence was uncovered that the victim had a plan to murder Keys, thus the killing was ruled self-defense. The truck is buried in sand up to its axles in the wash below the remains of the Wall Street Mill.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Green Day @ Copps Coliseum - July 16 2009
I've only ever been a casual Green Day fan, but wow, do these guys put on one hell of a show!
More of my photos and mini blurb on Citynews.ca: www.citynews.ca/news/news_36022.aspx
If anyone who was at the show knows who the little boy was that got pulled on stage at the beginning of the concert, please point them in my direction. I would really love to give the parents a photo of their child.
