A few weeks ago, Smokey came by to take me to lunch for my birthday and to take a few pictures and say goodbye. He's been a part of my life since I was 7 or 8 and I feel I owe much of who I am, to him. When I was growing up, he was the boyfriend who, in the words of my mother, "came over and never left". But he was more than that. For 6 or 7 formative years, Smokey was the father I never had. And, when I grew to a point where I didn't need that, he gracefully transitioned into being my friend. To this day, we talk, laugh and enjoy each other's company with an ease that I've too long taken for granted.
Smokey lives by his own rules and always has. On one hand, this has meant never having to compromise his values for a paycheck. On the other hand, he lives beneath the poverty line and can barely make ends meet. As I write this, I hear a memory of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof saying "I realize, of course, it is no shame to be poor. But it is no great honor, either!" I think that quote says it all because Smokey is one of the most proud people I have ever met. Poverty is something he endures but it doesn't define his sense of worth or self esteem. Articulate, anachronistic, compassionate and intelligent, Smokey taught me early on that money is not the same thing as virtue. People with money are not "good people" any more than people without are "bad people".
But Smokey, anachronistic and poor as he is, lives, as we all do, in a "punish the victim" society. Marin County, like most places in the world, isn't run by people who are looking out for the "little guy", it's run by the rich, for the rich. And now, because Marin has finally become too expensive to live in, Smokey is leaving for a part of the world where he can live on his meager retirement with more than a hole in a wall to call his own.
I'm proud of him for finding a way to survive and take care of himself in his later years. But it saddens me to see him leave. In many ways, Smokey embodies the Marin County that I grew up in. Before the rock stars, movie stars, LucasFilm and all the developers, Marin was a funky little oasis. Now it's a place where you're either a millionaire or you work for one. And those of us who are not millionaires are having a harder and harder time staying here.
I wonder what will happen when all of us "little guys" are gone? Who will make the espresso drinks?

St. John's Asylum was built in 1852 and closed in 1989, leaving the remaining walls home to over 130 years of history.
This place is a pretty famous site for urbex-ers, but as developers progress with their work to turn this huge site into housing, the floors have rotted away and the finer details are all disappearing.
Not long left until this all vanishes...

Prueba a abrir puertas y ventanas
y a sostener la lluvia en tu lengua,
prueba a no sentir como tuyo el aire
ni los senderos que recorres.
Prueba también a cambiar de posición,
a cantar con las tripas,
a aplaudir con los párpados
y a sonreír con el gesto.
Prueba a soltar las asas y
a caminar más despacio,
a decir que lo sientes
a ceder ese paso
a entender un ya no…
Prueba, te gustará.
Y si no

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

Un cronopio va a abrir la puerta de calle, y al meter la mano en el bolsillo para sacar la llave lo que saca es una caja de fósforos, entonces este cronopio se aflige mucho y empieza a pensar que si en vez de la llave encuentra los fósforos, sería horrible que el mundo se hubiera desplazado de golpe, y a lo mejor si los fósforos estan donde la llave, puede suceder que encuentre la biiletera llena de fósforos, y la azucarera llena de dinero, y el piano lleno de azúcar, y la guía del télefono llena de música, y el ropero lleno de abonados, y la cama llena de trajes, y los floreros llenos de sábanas, y los tranvías llenos de rosas, y los campos llenos de tranvías. Así es que este cronopio se aflige horriblenrente y corre a mirarse al espejo, pero como el espejo esta algo ladeado lo que ve es el paraguero del zaguán, y sus presunciones se confirman y estalla en sollozos, cae de rodillas y junta sus manecitas no sabe para que. Los famas vecinos acuden a consolarlo, y tambien las esperanzas, pero pasan horas antes de que el cronopio salga de su desesperación y acepte una taza de té, que mira y examina mucho antes de beber, no vaya a pasar que en vez de una taza de té sea un hormiguero o un libro de Samuel Smiles.

Et oui ma pensée du jour :
L'amour est comme une balance, à chacun d'apporter chaque jour ce petit quelque chose qui fera que cette balance restera équilibrée et tiendra le choc, face aux épreuves, face aux doutes...face aux peurs, aux interrogations...face à la routine qui s'installe...face aux chemins qui se séparent et puis se croisent , se font et se défont...
A chacun de regarder devant, et à côté de lui, de voir ce qu'il a, de voir son acqui, de regarder aussi ailleur mais de ne pas oublier ce qu'il a et et ne pas regarder ce qu'il n'a pas...j'avais oublié cette phrase qui pourtant fait parti de ma vie et de mes valeurs...le chemin a été long mais je l'ai retrouvé...j'ai retrouvé mon équilibre...
Penser à soi oui, mais ne pas oublier l'autre...apporter chaque jour sa petite pierre pour construire cet équilibre...
Trouver le juste équilibre pour soi d'abord et pour l'autre ensuite...et si un jour la balance se détraque, se dire qu'elle se reconstruira avec la meme personne ou une autre...mais...l'équilibre parfait n'existe pas...(enfin c'est mon avis hein :-))
Cette pensée du jour est pour tous ceux que j'aime qu'elle vous apporte ce qu'elle doit vous apporter...merci à vous de faire parti de ma balance...et de mon équilibre...

And yes my day thought:
The love is as a balance, in each to bring every day this young something which will make that this balance will remain well-balanced and will hold the shock, in front of tests(events), in front of doubts in front of fears, of the questioning in front of the routine which settles down in front of roads which part and then cross themselves, are made and come undone(crumple)...
In each to look in front of, and next to him, to see what he(it) has, to see his(its) acqui, watch also anywhere but not to forget what he(it) has and and not to look at what he(it) does not have I had forgotten this sentence which nevertheless makes left my life and my values the road was long but I found him(it) I found my balance...
Think of one yes, but not forget the other one, bring every day its small stone to build this balance...
Find the just balance for one at first and for the other one then and if one day the balance breaks down, to say to himself that it will reconstruct with the same nobody or the other one but the perfect balance does not exist (finally it is my opinion(notice) eh:-))
This day thought is for all those that I love that it brings you that she has to bring you thanks to you to make party of my balance and my balance...
The original untextured version can be found in the same set. I was unhappy with the over-saturated water and green in the original background but my attempts to correct that left my lovely niece Daisy dull and lifeless, which, I asure you, would be a false characterization.
Solution (short of better colour-correction skills to begin with): texturing an overly vivid background diminished it's impact, added subtle interest, and most important, ensured focal attention where intended. At least that's what I think I accomplished. Comments, criticisms, and tips for improvement are most welcome.

Der Blaue Pfau (Pavo cristatus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Fasanenartigen (Phasianidae). Er gehört somit zur Ordnung der Hühnervögel, wobei der Blaue Pfau neben dem Fasan und dem Haushuhn der bekannteste Vertreter dieser Vogelgruppe ist.
Aufgrund ihres auffälligen Aussehens gelten vor allem die Männchen als die ältesten Ziervögel der Menschen. Bereits in den Sagen der griechischen Antike wurden sie erwähnt. Als standorttreue Vögel werden die ursprünglich in Indien und Sri Lanka beheimateten Tiere heute weltweit auch als Haustiere gehalten.
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and has been introduced into many parts of the world and feral populations exist in many introduced regions. The peacock is the national bird of India and is the largest Asian galliform.

A visit to the Museo Etrusco on the Via Don Giovanni Minzoni in Volterra. Was a lot of Etruscan and Roman artifacts here. Also a back garden.
The Guarnacci museum is one of oldest public museums of Europe: it began in 1761 when the noble abbot Mario Guarnacci (Volterra 1701-1785) gave its enormous archaeological heritage, collected over years of research and purchases, to the "public of the city of Volterra".
The current disposition and location of materials demonstrate Maffei’s positivistic impact, with items separated by classes and the urns distinguished according to the theme of the bas-relief on the case. While respecting the historic memory of this arrangement, an attempt was made, in recent times, to associate it with another, more didactic, chronological tour inside the exhibition itself, able to conduct the visitor through the long history of the Etruscan Velathri.
The Guarnacci Etruscan Museum is located in via Don Minzoni in Volterra , and contains one of the most beautiful collections of Etruscan art.
In 1776 the canon of the cathedral of Volterra Pietro Franceschini found near the Etruscan necropolis of the Portone a hypogeum of considerable size dating back to the Hellenistic period, containing forty Etruscan urns, which in 1777 donated to the town of Volterra . This donation was the first nucleus of the Civic Museum which soon collected many other works found in the surroundings of Volterra and which until then had been kept in private collections of noblemen from Volterra.
Among the various donations, the most important and most important was that of Monsignor Mario Guarnacci ( 1701 - 1785 ), a wealthy priest who promoted numerous archaeological excavation campaigns, which on 15 September 1761 donated his entire collection to the newborn museum. He was named after the museum that in over two centuries of history has increased its heritage thanks to numerous excavation campaigns promoted by the Superintendency of Antiquities of Etruria.
The first seat of the museum was Palazzo Ruggeri, home of Guarnacci, later it was transferred first to some halls of the town hall and then from 1877 in the Desideri-Tangassi palace, the current headquarters.
The first Prefect and Librarian of the Guarnacci Museum is the Roman abbot Francesco Ballani , well-known librettist of his time, who was succeeded by Giuseppe Cailli in 1805 until his death in 1810 . Francesco Inghirami ( 1772 - 1846 ) occupied this position from 1810 until 1815 .
I didn't take much inside of the museum, only what took my interest at the time. Was mostly all the same kind of things from the Etruscan period.
On the floor in the middle of the building I didn't get more than these two sculptures. There was rooms with Roman tiles on the floors under raised walkways, and more sarcophagus!
Il Prete Marzio una Statua "Ritrovata"
The Priest Marzio a "Rediscovered" Statue
This statue, known since the early 1600s, was the
the result of a series of "restoration" projects
nineteenth-century, who have joined the stub
of an original statue of a togate of age
Roman a head composed, in turn, of
two different parts and two "shoulders" obtained
from marble bouquets from the
Cathedral of Volterra.
The result is that of a typical pastiche of the
taste of the last century that, until 1922 was
visible on the terrace above the source of
S. Stefano, in the formerly named place
Prato Marzio, from which it derives from the statue -
for corruption - even the name
traditional.
The current restoration has allowed
to remove unrelated parts
and to integrate the original gaps.
The head that today has been placed on the bust
belongs to the collection of the Guarnacci Museum
and it is certainly not relevant.
The type of marble, workmanship and I state of
conservation are however very much win a
those of the togato and therefore allow to give
an image - for example
and didactic - of the original form of the
monument, which by its nature permitted.

ENGLISH
The dam of Mediano is located in the municipal term of La Fueva, to which it was gotten up Mediano in 1974, whose nucleus had been flooded by the dam. It is one of the greater ones of Aragón, with 1,714 Has. of surface and a volume of dam of 450 Hm.3. Its prey leans in the limestone wooded hills that form the straits of El Entremont in the Cinca river, at few kilometers of the tail of the dam of El Grado. It is destined fundamentally to water lands of the zone, and secondly to the production of electrical energy.
--------------------------------
CASTELLANO
El embalse de Mediano está situado en el término municipal de La Fueva, al que se incorporó en 1974 Mediano, cuyo núcleo había sido anegado por el embalse. Es uno de los mayores de Aragón, con 1.714 Ha. de superficie y un volumen de embalse de 450 Hm.3. Su presa se apoya en los mogotes calizos que forman el estrecho de El Entremont en el río Cinca, a pocos kilómetros de la cola del embalse de El Grado. Está destinado primordialmente a regar las tierras de la zona, y en segundo lugar a la producción de energía eléctrica.
El municipio de La Fueva procede de la unión entre los antiguos municipios de Tierrantona y Fondecampo, producida en el año 1999. El término de Tierrantona incluía a su vez los antiguos municipios de Clamosa, Moriello de Monclús, Muro de Roda (actualmente Fumo de Muro) y Toledo de Nata (actualmente, San Juan de Toledo). El nombre del municipio procede directamente del valle de la Fueva, en el que se encuentra. Junto con el municipio sobrarbés de Palo, y Foradada del Toscar (perteneciente a la Ribagorza) forma este valle prepirinaico ubicado a los pies de Sarra Ferrera.
Históricamente, La Fueva había sido una comarca geográfica y políticamente independiente tanto del Sobrarbe como de la Ribagorza, con los que lindaba, pero con el despliegue de la moderna comarcalización de Aragón, vio separadas su parte occidental (con Tierrantona como núcleo principal) y su parte oriental (con Foradada del Toscar como capital), perteneciendo la primera administrativamente a la comarca del Sobrarbe, mientras que la segunda queda adscrita a la Ribagorza. No obstante, la vertiente sobrarbesa del valle tiene una mayor superficie, ya que incluye los municipios de Palo y de La Fueva propiamente dicha.
El valle de la Fueva tiene un dialecto característico de la lengua aragonesa, llamado fobán o fobano, que tiene características similares a las del aragonés oriental, y que debido al aislamiento en que vivió el valle hasta fechas relativamente avanzadas del siglo XX (sin demasiados accesos por carretera o comercio con el exterior, en comparación con los valles centrales del Sobrarbe), se ha conservado hasta la actualidad de forma lo bastante singular si se tiene en cuenta la ubicación del valle fuera de las zonas correspondientes al Pirineo más abrupto. Actualmente, aún quedan hablantes testimoniales de esta lengua en lugares y aldeas del municipio, por cuyo motivo está considerado como un municipio potencialmente bilingüe en el anteproyecto de Ley de Lenguas de Aragón.

The Beach is Closed Until Next Summer - La plage est fermée jusqu'à l'été prochain
- Récré-O-Parc, Sainte-Catherine
- September 3, 2008 / Le 3 septembre, 2008
- I just spent the afternoon in a wonderful nature park in Sainte-Catherine on the St-Lawrence River (Fleuve Saint-Laurent) facing the Lachine Rapids. I had never been there. This is a beach right next to the river at the entrance of the park. I took this photo through the chain-link fence as I was leaving and the sun was setting. The water level is obviously much higher during the bathing season. It was very hot! Our Summer has finally arrived (we had so much rain since the Spring until mid-August.). Now, we have real Summer weather.
- Je viens de passer l'après-midi dans un magnifique parc nature à Sainte-Catherine au bord du Fleuve Saint-Laurent face aux Rapides Lachine. Je n'y étais encore jamais allée. Ceci est la plage juste à côté du fleuve à l'entrée du parc. J'ai pris la photo à travers la clôture de métal comme je quittais et que le soleil se couchait. Le niveau de l'eau est évidemment bien plus élevé durant la saison de baignade. Il faisait très chaud! Notre été vient d'arriver (on a eu tellement de pluie depuis le printemps jusqu'à la mi-août). Maintenant, on a une vraie température d'été.
So, as alluded to in the last post, I’m one of a decreasingly shrinking (i.e. it’s getting bigger) group of photographers who has never done film before. Ever. Shot it, developed it, paid for it, et cetera. That is, until a couple weeks ago when I bought my Holga 120N. And I’ve got to admit, I thoroughly enjoy it.
Since I am not Thomas Hawk and have no desire to publish a million photographs before I leave this world, going back in time to the [somewhat] long-gone days of film isn’t much of a hindrance on some larger task. Having gotten used to digital where I can take a shot, see if it’s exposed properly, and shoot it again, using film was- let’s face it- absolutely bizarre. What do you mean I have to wait to see what I just shot?! I want to see it now!
What’s more, it’s a Holga! I have no earthly idea how the final photograph’s going to look, focus is dependent on one person, three people, a group of people, or a MOUNTAIN. Aperture is a lie and there is only one shutter speed. The viewfinder doesn’t even frame the shot! The only thing I really control is the film (in this case, Ilford Delta 400).
But regardless, I have to admit- it’s a helluva experience.
I actually developed two rolls of film the other day when I developed this roll. The first, as mentioned, was a roll of Ilford FP4+ 125. And I absolutely botched it. I couldn’t get the damned thing onto the steel reel, and with the exception of half of one shot, nothing came out as more than a milky white blob. Not a big deal as it was the first roll I ran through the Holga and didn’t really have anything spectacular on it anyways.
Anyways, as for the actual developing, I was hoping that the darkroom on campus would have Rodinal (I heard it was forgiving) or Diafine (I like the contrast I’ve seen in shots using Delta 400 and Diafine), and took some numbers with me for both of those, but alas, they only had D-76. Again, no worries- I don’t really have preferences yet. This particular reel was soaked for 10.5 minutes, with 60 seconds of continuous agitation and an additional 3 inversions every 30 seconds. I used water as a stop bath (30s continuous agitation), and some unknown fixer for 6 minutes (same agitation as developer) followed by 8 minutes of washing. I actually skipped the Photoflo altogether, but that was due more to forgetfullness than intent, but there it is.
Now, the local photo store didn’t have any archival sheets for 120, so for the time being, I scanned in the shots and rerolled the film back in between the paper that 120 comes backed with and put that into the box. So much for preservation. It shall continue to live digitally at the least. (*knock on wood*) What can I say? I live in the digital age, and even when doing something analog like film, it’ll end up in the realm of the digital anyways.
So what are my thoughts? I think I love it. Or at least, I could, and will, given that the reeling process gets easier. You can’t see it in these scans, but even this second roll was imperfectly reeled. And I totally manhandled the film in the process. The whole process after reeling is quite enjoyable; I get to talk to other people in the darkroom with me all while shaking a metal can and eyeing a clock- we must seem ridiculous to a casual observer. Also, it’s probably the only bit of chemistry I’ll ever actually enjoy, so there’s that.

An imposing twelve-sided table
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,400,000
First quarter, 20th century
Laguna
Narra and kamagong, kamagong inlays
83 x 224 x 224 cm (32 1/2 x 88 x 88 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the family of Candelaria Moldes Santos, wife of Col. Leopoldo Santos, Philippine army and guerilla fighter during the Japanese occupation
Made in the Bilibid Prison which, from the early American colonial period until the end of the first half of the 20th century, manufactured high quality household and office furniture as part of its program to rehabilitate prisoners in preparation for their reintegration into mainstream society. Their outputs were arguably unrivaled in terms of craftsmanship, design and prolificity.
A rare 12-sided top, made of solid one-piece narra wood, framed by precious kamagong wood carved around the edges with acanthus gadrooning. To harvest wood with a girth this size - over 7 feet across when finished - the felled giant tree must be well over a hundred years old. Each conforming side of the frieze is carved with foliated scrolls centering an anthemion flower inscribed with C-volute. The heavy base is made of two crossed curule seat-shaped legs carved with foliated scrolls bordered by broad kamagong inlays, and undulate with winged rosettes, connected to a huge, turned central cylinder with flutings surmounted by scrolled arches and a finial. The lion’s paws with winged extensions embody immense strength and power.
Overall, the workmanship is quite remarkable, displaying great detailed carvings and decorations alluding to the Italian Neoclassical style that was popular in the early 19th century. A classic, timeless statement piece that will surely draw exclamations of surprise and admiration. Found in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

It all began back in 1833 when the Collins family first settled in Dundas Ontario from Ireland. Within 5 years, Bernard Collins both owned and operated a successful saloon along the main downtown strip and was quickly renown throughout the town as an influential businessman.
The Collins Hotel was later erected across the street in 1841 and became a focal point to the small community hosting both political and social affairs. Barneys hospitality combined with the atmosphere and elegance of the hotel made the Collins a desirable place to both stay and gather for many years. The hotel remained under the ownership of the Collins family until 1913 yet continued to house both a tavern and operate as a hotel until late 1968.
While it may not have been the oldest operating hotel in Ontario, the old Collins Hotel remains to be one of the first buildings to be erected in the town of Dundas and is still venerated as the anchor around which the downtown centre was built. In 1994, the old Collins Hotel was finally granted designation as a historical landmark under the Heritage Act of 1990.
The Collins Brewhouse is therefore the evolution of an Irishman's dream and a piece of history that refuses to be forgotten.

*****************************
The Superb Starling (Lamprotornis superbus) is a member of the starling family of birds. It can commonly be found in East Africa, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
This species is 18 to 19 cm (7–7.5 inches) long. Adults have black heads and iridescent blue-to-green back, upper breast, wings, and tail. The belly is red-orange, separated from the blue breast by a white bar. The undertail coverts and the wing linings are white. Juveniles have duller plumage with no more than a suggestion of the white breast band. Their irises are brown, later grayish white, eventually the adult's cream-color.
The Superb Starling has a long and loud song consisting of trills and chatters. At midday it gives a softer song of repeated phrases. There are several harsh calls, the most complex of which is described as "a shrill, screeching skerrrreeee-cherrrroo-tcherreeeeeet."
This species feeds on the ground. (Wikipedia)
*****************************
From Wikipedia:
20 (twenty) is the natural number following 19 and preceding 21. A group of twenty units is often referred to as a score.
Twenty is a composite number, its proper divisors being 1, 2, 4, 5 and 10. Skipping 2 and adding the other divisors gives 20, hence 20 is a semiperfect number, and since it is not divisible by any of the smaller semiperfect numbers, it is a primitive semiperfect number. 20 is the smallest abundant number that is not a multiple of 3.
It is also the sum of the first four triangular numbers, making it a tetrahedral number.
20 is the atomic number of calcium.
20 is the total number of digits on the human body, which makes it a convenient number system radix; such number systems are called vigesimal. In the former British currency system, there were twenty shillings in a pound.
A polyhedron with twenty faces is an icosahedron.
20 is the number of proteinogenic amino acids that are encoded by the standard genetic code.
Twenty is a village in Lincolnshire.
20 is the code for international direct dial phone calls to Egypt.
Oh, and 20 is the number of my "Explorized" photos: thanks to all visitors!
Da Wikipedia:
Venti è il numero naturale dopo il 19 e prima del 21.
20 è il numero atomico del calcio (Ca).
20 è il numero di amminoacidi, denominato proteinogenici, che sono messi dal codice genetico normale.

The Vickers Vimy was designed as a long-range bomber capable of delivering a one ton payload to central Germany. Deliveries to the RAF began in October 1918, just too late to see operational use in World War One. However, pioneering flights across the Atlantic, from England to Australia and London to Cape Town would ensure its place in aviation history.Brooklands Museum - Explore
This modern reproduction was commissioned by Peter McMillan in 1994 to re-enact the type’s three long distance flights of 1919-20. Its first flight was made in California on the 30th July 1994. In 1994 it flew the epic 75th anniversary flight to Australia, piloted by Peter McMillan and Lang Kidby. In 1999 it successfully flew to South Africa, piloted by Mark Rebholz and John LaNoue and on 2nd -3rd July 2005, the Vimy achieved the ultimate goal when Steve Fossett and Mark Rebholz successfully re-enacted Alcock & Brown’s trans-Atlantic flight from St Johns, Newfoundland to Clifden, Ireland, in just under 19 hours.
In 2006 ownership passed to the American ISTAT Foundation and the aeroplane was maintained to airworthy standards at Dunsfold Park by Brooklands Museum volunteers. It was finally donated to Brooklands Museum Trust on 26th August 2006.
Since 2006 the Vimy has represented Brooklands at a number of occasions including the Farnborough Airshow, the Goodwood Revival and the 2009 Connemara Airshow in Ireland to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of Alcock and Brown flying the Atlantic. The decision was taken to retire the aircraft from flying (see the full reasons on our Vimy Retirement page) and on the 15th November 2009, its last flight was to the grass landing strip at Mercedes-Benz World. See a 10 minute film by Andy Lambert of the arrival at www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHPe79Bhvb4. The Vimy was subsequently taken by road to the Wellington Hangar at the Museum on the 19th November - see Andy Lambert’s film of this at www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjepleZp7vI. The Vimy Exhibition was formally opened by Peter McMillan at the Museum’s Vimy Day on the 21st November 2009.

I don't remember where we were when I took this, but I do remember it was one of those "organic" panos. That is, I started with a vertical shot of the windswept ridge, thinking to do a 4 or 5 shot pano of just the top of the ridge. I then thought to myself that it would be cool to get Haley (who was ahead of me a ways) in the shot. So my 4 image pano became a 12 image one, and I got this.

A Mais Bela Flor
O local estava deserto quando sentei-me para ler embaixo dos longos ramos de um velho carvalho. Desiludido da vida, com boas razões para chorar, pois tinha a impressão que o mundo estava tentando me afundar. E se não fosse razão suficiente para arruinar o dia, um garoto ofegante chegou perto de mim, cansado de brincar. Ele parou na minha frente, cabeça pendente, e disse cheio de alegria:
- Veja o que encontrei!
Na sua mão uma flor. E que visão lamentável! Estava murcha com muitas pétalas caídas...
Querendo ver-me livre do garoto com sua flor, fingi pálido sorriso e me virei.
Mas ao invés de recuar, ele sentou-se ao meu lado, levou a flor ao nariz e declarou com estranha surpresa:
- O cheiro é ótimo, e é bonita também... Por isso a peguei. Pegue-a, é sua!
A flor à minha frente estava morta ou morrendo. Nada de cores vibrantes como laranja, amarelo ou vermelho, mas eu sabia que tinha que pegá-la, ou ele jamais sairia de lá. Então estendi-me para pegá-la e respondi:
- Era o que eu precisava...
Mas, ao invés de colocá-la na minha mão, ele a segurou no ar sem qualquer razão.
Nessa hora notei, pela primeira vez, que o garoto era cego, e que não podia ver o que tinha nas mãos. Senti minha voz sumir. Lágrimas despontaram ao sol, enquanto lhe agradecia por escolher a melhor flor daquele jardim.
- De nada... - respondeu sorrindo.
E então voltou a brincar sem perceber o impacto que teve em meu dia.
Sentei-me e comecei a pensar como ele conseguiu enxergar um homem auto-piedoso sob um velho carvalho. Como ele sabia do meu sofrimento auto-indulgente? Talvez no seu coração ele tenha sido abençoado com a verdadeira visão.
Através dos olhos de uma criança cega, finalmente entendi que o problema não era o mundo, e sim EU! E por todos os momentos em que eu mesmo fui cego, agradeci por ver a beleza da vida e apreciar cada segundo que é só meu. Então levei aquela feia flor ao meu nariz e senti a fragrância de uma bela flor, e sorri enquanto via aquele garoto com outra flor em suas mãos prestes a mudar a vida de um insuspeito senhor de idade...
As melhores coisas da vida são vistas com o coração!

My boyfriend is better than yours :)
So basically, here's my last week:
-Monday: hung out with my biffle Nicole until my boyfriend and I could meet up. He had "errands" to run for his "mom". He shows up at my house with a single, yellow, long-stemmed rose because of our four month anniversary (unnecessary, but adorable). The three of us hang out for about an hour or so until Nicole leaves and Tim (bf) stayed for dinner. When I was standing out by his car, he gave me a rubber duck (I used to collect them) and I thanked him and we talked for awhile but right before he got in his car, he says "Remember, ducks come in flocks".
-Tuesday: I'm freaking out because this giant essay (a quarter of my final grade) is due Wednesday and my essay SUCKED. So I spent the whole day attempting to fix it. I go to dance class and was tired and not really on my A-game and then I hurt my knee coming out of a jete. My dad comes to pick me up, and I gripe the whole way home. We pull up in the driveway and "Alicia, Winter Ball?" is spelled on the window in yellow and rubber ducks everywhere. Tim's in my livingroom with a boquet. He also sat down with me and stayed for like an hour helping me revise my essay and gave me some really good ideas to switch up the organization for a more logical progression. I think it's pretty good now.
-Wednesday- It was a half day, and I had a free third period, so I was painting in the art room. I look over and Nicole and Tim peek through the door (Nicole goes to a different school so I was very confused) and they asked me if I wanted to go on an epic adventure. I told them I couldn't because I had studio time scheduled at noon, so they said they would find me after. I got home after the shoot, and they showed up at my door. Nicole wanted a cookie, so we drove like 40 minutes to this one mall, got a cookie, turned around. We dropped Nicole off and Tim and I went to his house. We hung out for awhile and went to dinner with his family and then to the bookstore.
-Thursday: I drove to Portland to visit family for Thanksgiving. Delicious, relaxing, fun.
-Friday: We went to Powells (ginormous bookstore) before we left, and ate at PF Chang's. Very relaxing. We drove home.
-Saturday: I did my first set of Senior Portraits at two. Got home around four (we went out for lunch). Talked on the phone with Tim (who's at his lakehouse) for like an hour and then edited photos until like 2 AM.
-Sunday. Today I woke up and got coffee and Raisin Bran, and watched my favorite episode of scrubs on youtube. It makes my heart all melty. I love today, I love this week. I'm perfectly relaxed, perfectly happy, and perfectly in love.
Very few images of Stephens Gap show this angle. The keyhole as we call it is a small opening on the upper side of the pit. At the very top it is just large enough for one person drop into. There is enough room however to rig two ropes and a second caver can drop in as soon as the first caver is about 10 feet down. At this level there is a small alcove in front of Sabrina as well as a window to her right looking out over the pit and main waterfall. Dropping a few feet more you pass though into the main section of the cave which bells out considerably. About eighty feet further and your on the pedestal rock. The pit drops another 30 feet to the bottom where the water crashes down and disappears into the rock below. For this shot we had two ropes - one for Sabrina and the other for me. Camera rig was double tethered to a tripod which in turn was double tethered to me. Safety is paramount when shooting in this environment. I have pulled the plug on shots in the past when things didn't feel right. Sometimes staying ahead means calling it a day and walking away empty handed knowing you can return to pull it off later. Fortunately this wasn't one of those days.

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.

This replica of Detroit's Edison Illuminating Company Station A is one of the many structures that make up Greenfield Village. While many buildings are original structures brought in from other locations, this is a one-quarter size replica of the original. (I assume this means the footprint was one-quarter size, but the height was full-size, but I don't know.) Station A burned coal on the first floor to provide steam power to dynamos on the second floor to produce electricity; it operated between 1886 and 1900. Henry Ford began his career as a steam engineer at Edison's Station A, became chief engineer in 1893, and was working here when he built his first car, the 1896 Quadricycle. He left to make cars in 1899, a venture that finally succeeded in 1903. The car at the left was part of the Greenfield Village Old Car Festival, which Ruth Ann and I attended September 11 with Flickr friend Steve Brown (sjb4photos). In 1969, Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum (now jointly called The Henry Ford) were added to the National Register of Historic Places (#69000071); the historic district includes 97 buildings.
Le parc naturel régional de la Brenne recense 11 des 37 espèces de reptiles autochtones protégées en France. Véritable animal emblématique de la Brenne, la Cistude d'Europe trouve ici un lieu de prédilection. Plusieurs dizaines de milliers d'individus font ainsi de la Brenne une des premières régions françaises pour cette espèce.
Cistudes ♀ (à gauche) et ♂ (à droite), Emys orbicularis. La Cistude est intégralement protégée en France, mais dans certaines aires de sa répartition ses effectifs diminuent fortement.
Cette petite tortue est essentiellement diurne. Plutôt méfiante et craintive, la tortue Bourbeuse est surtout active aux heures les plus chaudes dans la journée. Elle passe une grande partie de son temps posée sur des troncs émerfés ou à flotter à la surface de l'eau. C'est un animal très discret, elle est très farouche et plonge au moindre bruit, ce qui la rend très difficile à repérer.
Le grillage n'est là que pour empêcher les moutons de pénétrer dans l'étang.
Et voilà, encore une bonne raison d'avoir envie d'un zoom correct, mon vieux clou n'est vraimant pas performant.

Thanks for the day everyone... and Scott, thanks for taking us to the abandoned house and barn
