The Ferris Wheel is the largest part of the Carnival and an American expression of Freedom.
Sky Wheel,
Blue sky.
Looking at you wishing the day by.
Blue sky,
Purple sky.
Storm coming in, here it is, there's the eye.
Blue sky,
Grey sky.
The earth is wailing, the thunder yells and the clouds cry.
Blue sky,
Grey sky,
Black sky.
Tore away at the moon, swallowed stars and made the sun die.
Black sky
Green sky
Orange sky
Red sky
Pink and yellow sky.
-------------------------------------
The Ferris Wheel was introduced to the world at the World's Colombian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.
It was built to rival the Paris creation of the Eiffel Tower, a landmark exhibition in 1889 in France. It is interesting to note that the first Ferris Wheel was built by bridge-builder George W. Ferris, from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania; his knowledge of struts, beams and supports, as well as a skilled mastery of foundation and balance of larger constructions made him the man for the job.
George W. Ferris built the Ferris Wheel for the 1893 World's Fair, which was held in Chicago to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landing in America.
The Chicago Fair's organizers wanted something that would rival the Eiffel Tower.
Gustave Eiffel had built the tower for the Paris World's Fair of 1889, which honored the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
Ferris Wheels are still very popular today. In fact, a carnival is not considered a carnival without the Ferris Wheel. Because this invention was an American contribution to the World's Fair, it has become a staple of the fairground.
The Wheels that exist today are model replicas of the original Ferris Wheel.

....does not only reside into reading books
....there are actually quite a few who read a lot,
....but do not actually hold much knowledge.
....Knowledge seems to begin by getting to know ourselves
....and taking the time to sink in the things about which we are reading.
....It needs time, but this doesn't mean that there are only relatively
....old people who know things and about them.
....It all depends on the quality, in combination with the actual time fraction.
It isn't only about reading the pages, the theories, the concepts, but acutally
taking the time, the effort, quite often the pain as much as the pleasure of
putting them in praxis.
Wise people know that in fact they don't know much and they'll be learning for so long as they live.They also know that before they give advice and spend time on looking in other people's gardens, they have their own gardens to take care off, their own weeds to deal with and their own planning to do.
Spent the night up on the rocky pinnacle known as Wilburn Ridge that resides within the Grayson Highlands State Park. This trip was primarily about fall colors, but a nice adornment was the incredible night sky with the absence of moon. I have spent quite a few nights up here over the years and it is very dark and star filled. Our night shooting ended up being highly cramped and limited due to the wind driven moisture that would fog the lens on any exposures more than 30 seconds, so long as we made things pretty quick it was alright.
Looking through my shots I came across this one, and I wasn't very wowed by the comp, but noticed the bright fuzzy blob about 1/2 way up the sky to the right of the Milky Way. That my friends is a galaxy outside of our own. This would be my first time to observe it, and only from the photo, did not know when I took the shot. I think it is Andromeda, there are only a handful that can be seen naked eye from the northern hemisphere.
The night sky and space really blows my mind if I think about it much, and I think that is what it is supposed to do. It is a magnificent display of God's creative power. He knew that someday we would gain the knowledge to see and somewhat comprehend these things so far away from our realm, and it would pretty much end there. We can see this vast distance, but we will never be there in our current plane of existence. I would imagine that we are only seeing and understanding but a small fragment of this unlimited universe.
It's the real power

Knowledge = Conocimiento

... in a rectangular 'medallion' on the ceiling in the Room of the Segnatura by Raphael. It is between the 'Justice' and 'Theology' medallions.
Sometimes called the 'Fall of Adam and Eve', the figures here include Adam & Eve, the Tree of Knowledge and a Serpent (with the torso and head of a woman). Raphael has managed to convey a more ‘knowing” look in the figure of Eve, who has already eaten the fruit of knowledge, and contrasts this with the relative relaxed innocence and trust expressed in the figure of Adam.
The gold background here are of mosaic tiles.

knowledge and the positivity to want to be present for as much compassion, empathy and love as possible in life.
All right. Well, take care yourself. I guess that’s what you’re best, presence old master? A tremor in the Force. The last time felt it was in the presence of my old master. I have traced the Rebel spies to her.
Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. I can’t...

62/365: surrounded by knowledge
Sneak peak from this mornings senior photo shoot on Denton Square with Carly. We made a stop at the Recycled Books store on the square and capture this moment I’ve titled ‘surrounded by knowledge.’ I had envisioned this capture in my mind and it turned out exactly as I had hoped. The books, bookshelves and floor create leading lines directly to the focus point.

The visualizations you can see here, has been realized collecting all the Wikipedia's pages created and modified during the project by Fondazione Cariplo-Artgate. Starting from this list, using the history function of Wikipedia we collected data about all the edits on a page, and using a user list we could recognize which of them are performed the Wikipedia's tutors of the project. Similarly we collected all the data about the uploads on Wikimedia Commons, mostly images. Read more about this project here www.densitydesign.org/research/share-your-knowledge-mappi...
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)
--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)
A small glimpse of my mother's bookcase, well...one of my mother's bookcases. A lifetime of research and knowledge is found here.

In New York's public library, I thought it fitting to reflect on what can be learned inside to be applied outside.
I really don't know anything about this photo -- no idea when it was taken, or where ...
This looks like a typical mining camp, somewhere out in eastern Utah ... but I have no idea about the details
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...
