Have your say in the Earthquake Memorial designs. The Botanic Gardens on the Easter Egg Hunt, March 15, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The Colossus of Rhodes was constructed in the III century BC as the representation of the god Helios erected in the city of Rhodes presided for just 60 years over the harbor entrance on Rhodes, by Chares of Lindos between 292 and 280 BC, but that was long enough to create a legend.
According to the legend, the Island of Rhodes was famous for its technology advances , mainly war machines.
The Colossus of Rhodes stood over 30 meters (107 ft) high, making it one of the tallest statues of the ancient world.
The interior of the structure, which stood on a 15 meter (50 foot) high white marble pedestal near the Mandraki harbor entrance, was then filled with stone blocks as construction progressed.
In November 2008, it was announced that the Colossus of Rhodes was to be rebuilt. According to Dimitris Koutoulas, who is heading the project in Greece, rather than reproducing the original Colossus, the new structure will be a, "highly, highly innovative light sculpture, one that will stand between 60 and 100 metres tall so that people can physically enter it."
The project is expected to cost up to €200m which will be provided by international donors and the German artist Gert Hof. The new Colossus will adorn an outer pier in the harbour area of Rhodes, where it will be visible to passing ships.
Koutoulas said, "Although we are still at the drawing-board stage, Gert Hof's plan is to make it the world's largest light installation, a structure that has never before been seen in any place of the world."

Pictures of the Winter in July event at the Phoenix Zoo. This annual event includes snow trucked in for the event, a chilly 'blizzard' every 30 minutes, and snow themed events with the animals. There were four different animal events that featured behavioral enrichment, a process of ensuring captive animals in zoos are treated for psychological and physiological well-being. I will list all the events separately. I learned on their site that they were looking for volunteers. So I was on their website to learn about the event when I learned that they needed volunteers! So I signed up as a photographer and snow shoveler. I was part of a crew of volunteers who broke up the snow so the kids could play with it. It has a hard ice crust the moment we arrived and had to continually work the snow to make it fun to play with. Very glad to spend the day at the Zoo helping them pull off this event. Here are pictures of the AR Creature Feature in the Enchanted Forest Amphitheater featuring birds of prey. They included a Harris's Hawk, a Eurasian Eagle-Owl and a Great Horned Owl.
This completely chopped down tree in a forest in rural Thane, has miraculously sprung to life again - despite a truant monsoon. It is simple things like this that reaffirm one's faith in the Miracle of Nature, which seeks to regenerate despite mans best efforts to destroy it.
The forests of rural Thane district, Maharashtra, India, are rapidly thinning due to chopping by local villagers and overgrazing. This year, the monsoons have not even set in properly. If the trend continues, there will not be any forest cover left in a few years time.

In a city where many people were out of power after the storms of July 2nd, a fallen limb from an old tree might not be the worst that can happen. But it is a great old tree in the courtyard of the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
The mocking of Jesus occurred several times, after his trial and before his crucifixion according to the canonical gospels of the New Testament. It is considered part of Jesus' passion.
According to the gospel narratives, Jesus had predicted that he would be mocked (Matthew 20:19, Mark 10:34, and Luke 18:32). The mocking of Christ took place in three stages: immediately following his trial, immediately following his condemnation by Pontius Pilate, and when he was being crucified.
The New Testament narratives of Jesus being mocked are filled with irony, while the mockery focuses on Jesus' prophetic and kingly roles.
First stage
After Jesus' condemnation by the Sanhedrin, some spat on him (Mark 14:65). He was blindfolded and beaten, and then mocked: "Prophesy! Who hit you?" (Luke 22:63). This was done by those men who "held Jesus" (Luke 22:63, King James Version). The New International Version translates this as "the men who were guarding Jesus", but Joel B. Green takes the phrase to refer to the "Chief priests, the officers of the temple police, and the elders" mentioned in verse 52.
Green suggests that Jesus suffers the mockery that is typical of prophets, and that his suffering suggests his "solidarity with God's agents who speak on God's behalf and are rejected." Susan R. Garrett sees Mark's inclusion of the mockery as an example of irony, since Jesus is indeed a prophet, at the very moment his prophecy that Peter would deny him was being fulfilled. The prophetic assignment is not always portrayed as positive in the Bible, and prophets were often the target of persecution and opposition.
Second stage
After his condemnation by Pontius Pilate, Jesus was flogged and mocked by Roman soldiers. They clothed him with a "purple" (Mark 15:17) or "scarlet" (Matthew 27:28) robe symbolizing a royal gown since purple was a royal color, put a crown of thorns on his head symbolizing a royal crown, and put a staff in his hand symbolizing a scepter. They knelt before him and said, "Hail, king of the Jews!" (Matthew 27:29). This was done as a mockery of Jesus' kingship. After this, they spat on him, and struck him on the head with the staff repeatedly.
Peter Leithart notes that at the end of the scene, the soldiers "reverse the whole coronation with an anti-coronation. They spit in contempt instead of kneeling in reverence, pull the scepter from Jesus’ hand and beat His crowned head with it, strip off the scarlet robe and replace it with Jesus’ own robe." Leithart goes on to suggest that, at this point, the Romans "remove the veil of irony and reveal what they really think" about the Jews and their God.
Robert J. Miller suggests that the gospel account is deeply ironic since Jesus is exercising his kingship through submission and suffering: "the Roman legionnaires have unwittingly furthered God's secret purposes by dressing Jesus up as a king." In fact, the irony operates on two levels. James L. Resseguie points out that there is verbal irony in the way the soldiers "mock Jesus as a dismal failure and a pretend king" (that is, the soldiers are themselves being ironic) as well as dramatic irony in that the readers "know that the acclamation rings true in ways that the soldiers could not possibly understand."
Luke 23:11 also mentions that "Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him" (New Revised Standard Version).
Third stage
Jesus was also mocked while he was on the cross. According to Mark 15:29-30, this was done by those who passed by and hurled insults at him and told him to come down from the cross. Mark 15:31-32 points out that "the chief priests and the teachers of the law" also mocked him among themselves, saying: "He saved others, but he can’t save himself! Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Finally, those crucified with Jesus also heaped insults at him (Mark 15:32).
Luke 23:36-37 mentions mocking by Roman soldiers: "The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, 'If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!'" (New Revised Standard Version). In Matthew 27:42 people, priest and the elders mock Jesus, and shout at him while he is hanging on the cross: "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God."
According to Luke 23:39, one criminal on his left who hung there together with Jesus on the cross, hurled insults at Jesus: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!"
Thus, whereas the first stage involves mockery by Jews, and the second stage mockery by gentiles, the third stage has both together. Leithart notes that at this point "Jews and Gentiles, governors and criminals, scribes and commoners, all humanity joins in a single chorus of blasphemy."
Timothy C. Gray notes that in the Gospel of Mark, the mocking of Jesus on the cross "takes up the two charges leveled against Jesus at his trial": firstly, that Jesus "threatened the temple with destruction" (14:58 and 15:29); secondly, that Jesus "claimed to be the Messiah" (14:61-62 and 15:31-32).
All of us need to go to shops, whether to buy essentials or for some retail therapy.
And nothing can beat going shopping with friends!
The children of Sr. KG were taken to D-Mart by their teachers.
They were very excited as it was a group visit.
Teachers acted as shopping guides while taking the small team of ‘mini shopaholics’ around.
This field trip gave the children an insight into the entire shopping experience.
We just hope that they will not pull their parents along to shops now...
I really like this view of midtown Atlanta from the bridge over the downtown connector looking north along Peachtree. With the trees lining the street and the long line of sight - long for Atlanta that is - it has the makings of a grand boulevard.
There are plans to develop this overpass to create a street scene that, in some respects, will reunite Midtown and Downtown, rent from one another by the freeway decades ago. Maybe in the years to come we can repair the damage done by the interstate highway system to other parts of our city.
