location : shanghai, china.
So this is another chinese city that we visited the last time we went for business tour. And of course we did stayed an extra 2 days than what we needed just to have a look at how shanghai is grown into a super city. I'm sure many of you have been to shanghai and, or, i'm sure you have heard about shanghai, therefore, highly probable that you know what i am talking about when i say that this is one of the few, awesome cities that exist on the world today (of course singapore is one of them, hehe). For a guy who is holding a camera like myself, and someone who love to shoot at random things that move on the street, this is like heaven for me. i am sure if i stay long enough in this city i will have many interesting shots that i can take home with me. On top of that, this city breaths history, its full of it and realised how history has made this city into what it is today. Its heritage and everything that come with it is just simply amazing. Its one of those city you would want to have a piece of for yourself. maybe one day if i have enough money i will surely not mind to move into this city and live here. well, talking is boring, please stay tune i will post more pictures, (maybe i will have more that 12 shots this time around) yay!!
These are the last 5 photos in THE CANAL ALBUM set. A total of 86 photos were posted. I do hope you enjoyed seeing all of these old historic canal black & white photos. You just don't see photos like this from the early 1900's every day.
I find a old photo album from the early 1900's with some great black & white photos. The photographer took them as he was floating down a canal in a boat. He took photos of the country side, towns, lock workers, people, bridges, boats, train cars, factories and many more interesting photos I have found out that some of these photos were taken in the Lockport, Illinois area on the Des Plaines River / Chicago River / Illinois & Michigan Canal and Sanitary and Ship Canal. Please view the other photos to this set and leave a comment if you like. Any information on any of these old photos would be greatly appreciated.
Nice view of the lock from the water.
Funny, creative & interesting glitch variations from my Springfield sign with Moe smuggling panda bear :)
Interesting museum with history of Santiago, Bacardi family, along with a floor of art, and last, but not least, a real Egyptian mummy.
These 8 shots are currently some of my most interesting according to the Flickr interestingness algorithm and the Scout tool from fd's Flickr Toys. The pictures have all made it to the Flickr top 500 interestingness list for the day they were uploaded.

Strangely this recent shot didn't make the hitlists even though it is number one on my own "internal" Favorites, Comments and Interesting top-lists?
The "poster" was made with Scout Tool.
We were walking around near the old WOrld trade Center area..when i could not stop staring at this building! the color and everything was so unusual..it was extremely skinny (lol). Apparently it is an apartment building...
NYC is full of surprises..
I played with the exposure and contrast btw..i'm loving the proofing n editing side to photography! u can make the shot tell the story u want it to..
We went to a second-hand book fair today at Kembla Grange racecourse, organised by the charity Lifeline. There was heaps of good stuff on sale, and we all came away with something. I picked up a collection of Sherlock Holmes pastiches (which I'll probably hate, as they are written by Americans), a 1943 translation of the war diary of a Red Army soldier ('Russians Never Surrender') and 'A Captain Of Irregulars' which appears to be a rip-roaring adventure set during the wars of South American liberation in 1817-18. So, I have plenty to read over the next few weeks.
Sorry - I managed a smile for other versions of this shot, but smiling and avoiding camera shake seemed to be mutually incompatible.
So far I've spent the rest of the day painting soldiers.
Update: There were 60,000 books up for grabs. 5,000 people visited the book fair and it raised $100,000. Not bad.
Not all of them are what _I_ would call interesting... but hey... each to their own I suppose...
Thanks for the idea, Norby (http://flickr.com/photos/norby/81931420/)

I find this quite interesting.
Recently, a visiting acquaintance, a painter held in such regard as to be hung in national galleries, made complimentary remarks about my growing of pink Dianthus. Her admiration reflected not so much my horticultural finesse but how the pink represented certain sentiments in Renaissance painting. Oh, I said, as the cracked water jar at the well symbolised loss of innocence? This, she said, was news to her but observed that the artistic temperament often put such things in the margin with little or no penetration into the physical world. She walks a fine line. We are alike while apart.
This jar of fläderkapris, elderberries preserved in the Swedish style to be like capers contribute somewhere between little and nothing nutritionally. Added in a small amount, a garnish atop a dish they add interest; a flavour contrast.
Across cultures and continents it is the same. Whether it is pap en sous at a braai, bombay "duck", a sambal, prawn "floss", capers themselves, that chopped parsley, truffle, dukkah, pangrattato, spezzi, chimichurri, ketjap, mustard, nước chấm, horseradish, wasabi, nam phrik, all the "rice pullers" under the Sun, all across the planet, whoever we are we put different things on our food to lift and excite our interest. In all of these things we are apart and yet alike; different and the same.
I find this quite interesting.
We have had storms the last few nights and have been getting some interesting cloud formations. This one goes up in a straight line and the line seems to coninue on the opposite horizon in an arc (see pic in comments) !DSC_8993
Swatch for a Ravelry forum post. Rather interesting stitch, so I am glad I crocheted a swatch. I think I would change a couple of details if making a garment, but just a couple little things.

Interesting-looking streetlights outside Opéra Garnier.
I am here not only to window-shop Galeries Lafayette, but also locate the stop for Roissybus, the Paris city bus service (run by municipal mass transit agency, RATP) that runs nonstop to De Gaulle Airport; that is my chosen method for going to the airport next day to fly home, rather than the pickpocket-infested RER commuter trains or the expensive Air France coaches.

The jagged rocks of these falls caught my attention. The water flowed over them in interesting ways. I was eager to get this photo before looking upstream for more and more falls.

An interesting connection point I found whilst experimenting with my Noble Team. It seems the lump on the side of both the Halo Sniper Rifle and the Combat LMG (Brickarms) fits into the hole in the back of the Spartan Armour (Brickforge). This is probably just a coincidence, but both weapons fit strangely well........

Tenative identification of the orange fungus Dacrymyces palmatus Orange Jelly fungus
Dacrymycetaceae Witch's Butter
although I think I will keep this as tenative as I do not know the substrate material.
The reason to know the substrate (what type of log this fungus is on) is described in www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/2005/04/dacrymyces_palm.php
"Tremella mesenterica may also be confused with members of the Dacrymycetaceae family, like Dacrymyces chrysospermus (formerly D. palmatus), due to their superficial resemblance.[12] Microscopic examination shows that the Dacrymycetaceae have Y-shaped basidia with two spores, unlike the longitudinally split basidia characteristic of Tremella;[21] additionally, D. chrysospermus is smaller, has a whitish attachment point to its substrate, and grows on conifer wood." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremella_mesenterica
A further explanation Dacrymyces palmatus

The ladies wanted to visit the Pokeman Center - it sounded interesting. To me Pokeman is like a Kardashian - I wouldn't know one if it bit me but I went along. The Pokeman Center was hard to find but we eventually found it. It wasn't a big building (like Center implied); it was actually a store inside a mall (picture a small Disney store). At least it was fun walking around and pretending I was a Pokeman authority even if I'm still clueless!
After that we went in search of a Cosplay store and never found it but we did find a huge adult supply store. The stuff in there was totally bizarre!

Arriving In Lyon late in the day and it was raining. Our hotel was about one hour from Lyon so we didn't stop there and went straight to our hotel. We arrived in the dark and left the next morning in the dark to go back to Lyon. Most of the shots of Lyon are taken from the moving Coach.
Day 10 of our Cosmos tour, October 9, 2012 Lyon France.
Lyon, traditionally spelt Lyons in English, is a city in east-central France in the Rhône-Alpes region, situated between Paris and Marseille. Etymologically it relates to the Celtic God Lugoves, Lugh as does Laon and Leiden. Lyon is located approximately 470 km (292 mi) from Paris, 320 km (199 mi) from Marseille, 420 km (261 mi) from Strasbourg, 160 km (99 mi) from Geneva, 280 km (174 mi) from Turin. The residents of the city are called Lyonnais.
The population of Lyon is 484,344 (2010).Together with its suburbs and satellite towns, Lyon forms the largest conurbation in France outside Paris, with a population estimated to be 1,551,228 (2010); its overall metropolitan area was estimated to have a population of 2,118,132. Its urban region represents half of the Rhône-Alpes region population with 2.9 million inhabitants.[5] Lyon is the capital of this region, as well as the capital of the smaller Rhône département.
The city is known for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon was historically known as an important area for the production and weaving of silk and in modern times has developed a reputation as the capital of gastronomy in France. It has a significant role in the history of cinema due to Auguste and Louis Lumière, who invented the cinematographe in Lyon. The city is also known for its famous light festival 'Fête des Lumières' which occurs every 8 December and lasts for four days, earning Lyon the title of Capital of Lights. Legend says that the Virgin Mary saved the city from the plague and, to thank her, a statue was built. On the day it was erected, the whole city was lit by candles that its citizens had put at their windows. The local professional football team, Olympique Lyonnais, has increased Lyon's profile internationally through participation in European football championships.
Economically, Lyon is a major centre for banking as well as for chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. The city contains a significant software industry with a particular focus on video games, and in recent years has fostered a growing local start-up sector. Lyon also hosts the international headquarters of Interpol, Euronews and International Agency for Research on Cancer. By some measures, Lyon is ranked 2nd in France as an economic centre and convention centre. Lyon was ranked 8th globally and 2nd in France for innovation in 2011 It ranked 2nd in France and 38th globally in Mercer's 2010 liveability rankings.
