A fable: The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out. But in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “It’s my nature…”
Many of the frogs who gave King Donald a ride will soon regret it.
I'm pleased to announce that this shot was 'Highly Commended' by the judges of the Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year 2012 competition in the Urban Category. Hugely chuffed about this. It's going to be on display as a printed copy at the National Theatre in London from the 12th November until the 12th January 2013. The shot also appeared in yesterdays Sunday Times - which is just fabulous - over the moon.
Apparently the book is out already - I haven't seen a copy - but judging from the shots in the Times yesterday its going to be fabulous - some really amazing shots - very much looking forward to seeing them.
As for the shot - well this was pretty much the last shot before my ill fated trip to the bottom of the Thames on the Shard's Inauguration night, so its the last shot I have with my D300 - which was smashed up in the fall. It was taken from across the river - slightly elevated along with hundreds of other photographers - I was surprised at just how many had turned out - it seems such a long time ago now.

Post-inauguration, we decided it was easier to walk back to Virginia rather than try to fight for a spot on the shuttle bus or metro train. They had mostly blocked off the 14th Street bridge for pedestrians to do just that. I think we had about a mile left to go at this point.
Yesterday my brother in law got installed as Professor, of course I took some pictures... :-)
We are all very proud on his achievement!
These are some of the fireworks that happened today on Inauguration Day for Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris.

Enfin Bruxelles se réveille et fait appel à des artistes pour cacher des chantiers qui, il faut bien le dire, ne sont pas de toute beauté même s'ils sont une nécessité.
Un magnifique exemple de collaboration entre artistes (ASBL URBANA et Interfaces) pouvoirs publics (Ville de Bruxelles), investisseurs du privé (BNP Paribas) Entrepreneurs (De Meuter) et j'en oublie probablement...
Il est à souhaiter que ce ne soit point un "one shot" mais que cela devienne une saine habitude de faire appel à des artistes pour masquer le temps nécessaire les travaux urbains.

A cable-stayed bridge over the fjord Byfjorden. (Swedish: Uddevallabron är en snedkabelbro.)
The bridge was constructed as part of the rerouting of the European route E6 outside Uddevalla city. Inaugurated in 2000, it reduced traffic congestion in the city and shortened traveling distance by 12.8 km (8.0 mi).
Teatro Municipal, Almagro, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
El Teatro Municipal – antes Teatro Principal – de Almagro es una acogedora y bellísima “bombonera” situada en un edificio neoclásico de finales del siglo XIX donde el público del Festival disfruta de los clásicos en el interior de un teatro a la italiana.
Desde su inauguración en 1865 se convirtió en el núcleo de la vida cultural de Almagro, dando lugar a la puesta en escena de obras teatrales, zarzuelas, conciertos musicales e incluso albergando las primeras proyecciones de cine ante el asombro de neófitos espectadores. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX fue utilizado como cine y a finales de los años 60 su estado era tristemente lamentable. Incorporado al Programa de Rehabilitación de Teatros Españoles del XIX, el arquitecto Miguel Fisac se encargó de su restauración en 1988 con modificaciones y mejoras que culminaron en 2006, siendo desde entonces, uno de los escenarios más queridos y emblemáticos del Festival.
Su romántica fachada está organizada en dos plantas que no tienen correspondencia en altura con el desarrollo interior. El patio de butacas, con un aforo para 244 espectadores, tiene forma de herradura y se posa en una estructura en tres plantas. A los palcos del primer piso se accede por escaleras laterales que desembocan en una sala de descanso localizada sobre el vestíbulo de entrada, mientras que en la segunda planta el público se distribuye en una grada, desde la que se pueden contemplar las pinturas del techo – no originales – que representan a las musas de las artes escénicas: Talía, diosa de la comedia; Melpómene, diosa de la tragedia; Tersicore, diosa de la Danza y la Música y Polimnia, diosa de la Poesía Lírica.
The Municipal Theatre – formerly the Principal Theatre – in Almagro is a cosy and beautiful “bonbonniere” housed in a neoclassical building from the end of the 19th century, where the Festival audience can enjoy the classics inside an Italian-style theatre.
Since its inauguration in 1865, it has become the centre of Almagro’s cultural life, hosting plays, zarzuelas, musical concerts and even hosting the first film screenings to the amazement of neophyte spectators. During the first half of the 20th century, it was used as a cinema and by the end of the 1960s its condition was sadly lamentable. Incorporated into the Rehabilitation Programme for 19th Century Spanish Theatres, the architect Miguel Fisac was in charge of its restoration in 1988 with modifications and improvements that culminated in 2006, and since then, it has been one of the most beloved and emblematic stages of the Festival.
Its romantic façade is organised on two floors that do not correspond in height to the interior development. The stalls, with a capacity for 244 spectators, are horseshoe-shaped and are situated on a three-storey structure. The boxes on the first floor are accessed by side stairs that lead to a rest room located above the entrance hall, while on the second floor the public is distributed in a stand, from which they can contemplate the ceiling paintings – not original – that represent the muses of the performing arts: Thalia, goddess of comedy; Melpomene, goddess of tragedy; Thersicore, goddess of Dance and Music and Polyhymnia, goddess of Lyric Poetry.
inaugurate verb: to put something into use
Turn up on election day in Australia and I'll bet London to a brick on you'll be offered a democracy sausage. There'll be equal odds that it will be cooked on a flat barbecue plate by someone from a local service club or school auxiliary, slapped diagonally on a piece of square, fluffy, characterless, sliced white bread, buried beneath undercooked onions if you're there early, or cremated ones if you're there late, and garnished with dead horse.
celebrate verb: to honour or praise
The sausage is a wondrous thing; a mystery bag of bits and pieces — whether it's upper class or as down-to-earth as a Scottish haggis. It is never celebrated more democratically than when it's laid down in the embrace of a bun, dressed here in a simplified form that you might encounter in København; a world away from the queue to vote.
This wiener is a pale simulacrum of the frankfurter it could be. Stuffed with ground bits rejected then selected for their inferiority, and wrapped in a dyed orange/brown skin, it'll have to do for this inauguration. Dressing this dog is the first, the inaugural task of a new batch of red kraut — fermented in the Danish-style with fennel seeds. The mustard is sweet, in the Swedish-style, and the onions are just a few metres from where they grew in this green land.
commemorate verb: to mark or celebrate
Here's to the not so humble hotdog! It commemorates its disparate parts, its humble origins in Germany, its adoption and adaptation around the World, symbol of getting together, getting along and the whole made better than the sum of its parts.

Inauguration of Asian Jewellery Fair 2018 by Harshika Poonacha, Actress Kannada Film Industry in Bengaluru.
Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة "Khalifa Tower"),[8] known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is currently the tallest man-made structure yet, at 828 m (2,717 ft).[8] Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010,[1][9] and is part of the new 2 km2 (490-acre) flagship development called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district.
The tower's architecture and engineering were performed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago, with Adrian Smith as chief architect, and Bill Baker as chief structural engineer.[10][11] The primary contractor was Samsung C&T of South Korea.[12]
The total cost for the project was about US$1.5 billion; and for the entire "Downtown Dubai" development, US$20 billion.[13] In March 2009, Mohamed Ali Alabbar, chairman of the project's developer, Emaar Properties, said office space pricing at Burj Khalifa reached US$4,000 per sq ft (over US$43,000 per m²) and the Armani Residences, also in Burj Khalifa, sold for US$3,500 per sq ft (over US$37,500 per m²).[14]
The project's completion coincided with the global financial crisis of 2007–2010, and with vast overbuilding in the country, led to high vacancies and foreclosures.[15] With Dubai mired in debt from its huge ambitions, the government was forced to seek multibillion dollar bailouts from its oil rich neighbor Abu Dhabi. Subsequently, in a surprise move at its opening ceremony, the tower was renamed Burj Khalifa, said to honour the UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his crucial support.
ConceptionBurj Khalifa has been designed to be the centrepiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that would include 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as The Address Downtown Dubai, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Khalifa Lake.
The building has returned the location of Earth's tallest freestanding structure to the Middle East where the Great Pyramid of Giza claimed this achievement for almost four millennia before being surpassed in 1311 by Lincoln Cathedral in England.
The decision to build Burj Khalifa is reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil based economy to one that is service and tourism based. According to officials, it is necessary for projects like Burj Khalifa to be built in the city to garner more international recognition, and hence investment. "He (Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum) wanted to put Dubai on the map with something really sensational," said Jacqui Josephson, a tourism and VIP delegations executive at Nakheel Properties

The US Capitol, soon to be the scene of the 56th presidential inauguration, is reflected in the frozen surface of the Reflecting Pool at the base of Capitol Hill. A good reminder that there is much to reflect on concerning the historic inauguration of Barack Obama who will soon become the 44th U.S. president. I hope to walk as close as I can get on Tuesday morning into this area but the calm we see here will be replaced by huge crowds. Fortunately, the entire pool will be behind a barricade!

The United States Secret Service is a federal law enforcement agency with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and more than 150 offices throughout the United States and abroad. Established in 1865 solely to suppress the counterfeiting of U.S. currency, today the Secret Service is mandated by Congress to carry out the integrated missions of protection and investigations.

In summer 1993 the Great Arctic Rerserve (Zapovednik) was established at the northern coasts of Taymyr. An international (WWF) delegation took part in the inauguration in Dudinka and in the field. The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas. However, there may be need to connect them by South-North corridors to secure adaptation of biodiversity moving North with climate change. With increased warming and thawing of tundra massive release of methane stored in the ground could trigger further climate change.
