Monument erected in Troyes, in memory of the great scholar Rabbi Shlomo ben Itzhak Tzarfati (1040-1105), known as Rashi, who lived and taught in Troyes, in Champagne, and in Worms in Germany. The monument is the work of the sculptor Moretti. It is a black and white sphere representing enlightenment through education, and it spells out Rashi’s acronym in Hebrew letters. The monument stands near the site of the ancient Jewish cemetery where Rashi is believed to have been buried.
Distinctive ring patterns in the large cobblestone area of Universitetetsplassen (University Square) in Oslo, right in front of the historic University of Oslo buildings, contributing significantly to the neoclassical aesthetic of the surrounding university complex and provides a unique visual landmark in the heart of Oslo.

With the knowledge of CP's Royal Canadian Air Force tribute unit on the point of a northbound 418, I set out south of Edmonton on the Leduc Subdivision to find it. I don't usually photograph the CP side of things, but it was the last day of winter break, and I had nothing better to do! The snow was falling, and the overcast day worked well for a northbound. I made it as far south as Ponoka, when all of a sudden a blur of tank cars created a vortex of snow. Between buildings, I caught a glimpse of a heritage unit... could it be my train? I turned around and pursued - it looks like 7023 wasn't alone! With the snow flying behind them, it looked as if they were truly pretending to be a fighter jet, breaking the sound barrier. From the telegraph poles, to the searchlight signals, and the other railfans you meet along the way, this line has yet to dissapoint me.

"Conservation and rural-life policies are really two sides of the same policy; and down at the bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless, in dealing with the present, thought is steadily given for the future."
-Theodore Roosevelt
By Megan Cope, 2022.
At 80 Ann Street, Brisbane.
"What becomes of the clouds
Megan Cope’s work draws on the archives and historical maps to create important public documents of Indigenous knowledge, memory and experiences.
Cope’s work echoes the landscape and history and in this work remembers the creek which used to run through the 80 Anne St site.
The waterway outline underfoot in the marble terrazzo directs the public's movement through the laneway while the glass and light sculpture in the ceiling follows the undulation and waterflow from the river to the reservoir simultaneously corresponding to the brass inlay, connecting land to sky and the relationship water plays within that space.
The creek was a life-source for everyone directing Indigenous then later European settler movements through the landscape. The banks of the creek and its water’s movement has been interrupted many times throughout history
—a reservoir was placed upstream during early European settlement and the creek disappeared from maps by the late 1870s and was eventually built into a drain. The brass outline of the creek is based on a lithograph map of Brisbane from 1863 which is visible on the glass gate at the entrance at night.

Occasionally I look at some older work to see what I would do differently with the knowledge of today. This photo was taken some years ago and edited in a completely different way. I thought it was time for a new approach.

The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.

If you're in Jackson Hole, WY (USA) anywhere between May and early August and you don't shoot the Milky Way over one of the Moulton Barns then you are certainly missing out. Go for it. Get out there and expand your photography knowledge, skills and the depth of your photography content. Don't be afraid of the dark ... take a couple of friends and have a great time with night photography and don't forget to light paint a few other objects throughout Jackson Hole.
The light in the clouds is from the town of Jackson which is about 15 minutes south of this barn.
As time goes on, I will upload other night sky / Milky Way shots I've taken ... I just don't want to upload one after another and bore people to death.

Nightsky / Milky Way photography in Jackson Hole, WY
In 2018, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops. One with Ryan Smith in Arches National Park in March and one in GTNP during the middle of June. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2018 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 14-18
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 15-19
Washington, DC Milky Way Monuments - November 7-9
The great part is that in 2018 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.
Do you shoot the Milky Way but need a little help in getting the Milky Way to jump out of your photos ? If so, take a look at my ebook A Photographer's Milky Way Processing Guide - A Photoshop HowTo

Black cab drivers in London spend 3 - 4 years studying and acquiring what's called "The Knowledge." Only a handful make the grade and are allowed to become licensed black cab operators. The put all the other car-hire services to shame here.
@ the local electronics store was this "super fine" Latina looking @ a Playstation 3 for purchase.
I was amazed @ the fact that such a beautiful women loves to play video games and had knowledge about the PS3 and all things video games.
I was like wow, God is good for making women of this "Calibur" (Soul Calibur that is, which was the game she was beating everyone in ;)
Bless.
