Today, I finally get to try the Fujinon XF50-140mm for the first time in the Fuji Photo Walk Event. The greatest outcome of this event was to interact with different Fujifilm photographers.
The event took place at the Trout Lake Park. I think around 20-30 people showed up. As I arrived I quickly tried the XF10-24mm. It is a great lens and quite useful for landscape photography. I used it for 30 minutes and swapped to the XF50-140mm. It is definitely a heavy lens. My arm got a bit tired after an hour of shooting.
My initial impression is that the lens is excellent; it is very fast as it locks on to the subject without any problems. The images are pretty sharp (not as sharp as the XF90mm). I was about to keep away my distance between the subject so that he can "be" himself...and I got the shot I like today!
Location: Vancouver, BC (Trout Lake Park)
In 1999, in celebration of the return of fish to the River Lagan, the city of Belfast erected a sculpture titled The Salmon of Knowledge but locally called The Big Fish.
In 2006 I asked our tour guide if this sculpture was based on the Salmon of Knowledge and he indicated that he did not understand what I was talking about. Later I obtained the following quote from a local official: " The scales on the Big Fish or Salmon of Knowledge sculpture celebrate the return of fish to the River Lagan".
The Salmon story figures prominently in The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn, which recounts the early adventures of Fionn mac Cumhaill. According to the story, an ordinary salmon ate nine hazelnuts that fell into the Well of Wisdom (an Tobar Segais) from nine hazel trees that surrounded the well. By this act, the salmon gained all the world's knowledge. The first person to eat of its flesh would in turn gain this knowledge.
According to a number of printed tourist guides that I examined "the Big Fish also called the Bigfish is a printed ceramic mosaic sculpture by John Kindness. 10 metres long and constructed in 1999 it is located at Donegall Quay in Belfast, near the Lagan Lookout and Custom House."
There are also a number of seals nearby but I do not know is they are part of the original art installation.
The outer skin of the fish is a cladding of ceramic tiles decorated with texts and images relating to the history of Belfast. Material from Tudor times to present day newspaper headlines are included along with contributions from Belfast school children. The Big Fish also contains a time capsule storing information/images/poetry relating to the City.
Language not only communicates, it defines culture, nature, history, humanity, and ancestry. The indigenous languages of the Arctic have been formed and shaped in close contact with their environment. They are a valuable source of information and a wealth of knowledge on human interactions with nature is encoded in these languages. If a language is lost, a world is lost. This deep knowledge and interconnectedness is expressed in Arctic song, subsistence practices, and other cultural expressions but especially in place names across the Arctic. Place names of the indigenous peoples reflect subsistence practices, stories, dwelling sites, spawning sites, migratory routes of animals, and links to the sacred realms of the indigenous peoples of the north. From surveys it was possible to calculate change in the absolute number of speakers and proportion of speakers for 44 of the surveyed languages. Only 4 languages displayed an increase in absolute numbers of speakers, proportion of speakers and net population. Thirty nine of the surveyed languages experienced a decrease in vitality over the last decade, i.e., a decrease in numbers of speakers and in the proportion of speakers within their populations. Thirty-five languages experienced reductions in proportion of speakers and 22 of these ranged from 10–50%. Of the remaining languages all but seven experienced reductions of over 10% in the absolute numbers of speakers within their populations. Some languages, such as the Enet language of the Russian Federation experienced a 70% decrease in the numbers of speakers. Only twelve languages displayed an increase in absolute numbers of speakers The Inuit language(s) had the highest gain while the Chukchi language had the greatest loss.

--Heroes' Square--
-At the center of Heroes' Square stands the Millennium Monument, designed in 1894 by Albert Schickedanz and completed thirty-five years later. The many statues were designed by György Zala.
Soaring above Heroes' Square is the Millennium Column, the focal point of the Millennium Monument. The column is topped with a statue of the archangel Gabriel.
Behind the column is a semicircular colonnade with statues of famous men who made their mark on Hungarian history. Statues atop the colonnades symbolize War, Peace, Work and Welfare, and Knowledge and Glory.
-Also you can see the Museum of Fine Arts (Szépművészeti Múzeum)
One of a series of library education posters designed by Peabody Visual Aids in the 1930s and 1940s, which I salvaged from a throw-away pile at my library school in 2003. These were created under the supervision of visionary librarian Ruby Ethel Cundiff. bit.ly/qWQ3YD.

Had a nice little chat with this guy who is a volunteer at Standen, a lovely National Trust house and gardens. He spotted the Rolleiflex immediately and we spoke about old cameras and film for a bit. I asked if I could take his photo from the corridor as the light was fab, as I framed up this lady walked past me and started talking to him. He gave me a look as if to say "typical", I smiled and pressed the shutter.

A bit of a boring shot of what's left of my encyclopedia ( some of it got eaten by termites) I would have loved to do something on "the tree of knowledge" but I just didn't have time or motivation to go hunt for a big solo tree somwhere.lol we had a big storm here last night, we were lucky in my area as it didn't get too bad, we only lost the lock that was bolted to our massive gate when it slammed shut in the wind. ( Grant I thought I told you to shut it!! lol)
