The Olympic Sculpture Park is a public park in Seattle, Washington that opened on January 20, 2007. The park consists of a 9-acre outdoor sculpture museum and beach. The park's lead designer was Weiss/Manfredi Architects, who collaborated with Charles Anderson Landscape Architecture, Magnusson Klemencic Associates and other consultants. It is situated at the northern end of the Seattle seawall and the southern end of Myrtle Edwards Park. The former industrial site was occupied by the oil and gas corporation Unocal until the 1970s and subsequently became a contaminated brownfield before the Seattle Art Museum, which operates the park, proposed to transform the area into one of the only green spaces in Downtown Seattle.
As a free-admission public outdoor sculpture park with both permanent and visiting installations, it is a unique institution in the United States. The idea of creating a park for large, contemporary sculpture in Seattle grew from a discussion in 1996 between Seattle Art Museum director (and wife of William Gates Sr.) Mimi Gardner Gates and Martha Wyckoff while stranded on a fly fishing trip in Mongolia due to a helicopter crash. Wykoff, being a trustee of the Trust for Public Land, soon after began an effort to identify possible locations for the park.
A $30 million gift from Mary and Jon Shirley (former COO of Microsoft and Chairman of the Seattle Art Museum Board of Directors) established them as foundational donors.[5] As part of constructing the sculpture park, 5.7 million dollars were spent transforming 1,000 feet of the seawall and underwater shoreline inside Myrtle Edwards park. A three level underwater slope was built with 50,000 tonnes of riprap. The first level of the slope is large rocks to break up waves. The second is a flat "bench" level to recreate an intertidal zone. The lower level is covered with smaller rocks designed to attract sealife and large kelp. It is hoped that this recreated strand will help revitalise juvenile salmon from the Duwamish River and serve as a test for future efforts.
Maintenance of the sculptures has been an ongoing issue. The environment near a large salt water body has been corrosive to pieces like Bunyon's Chess, made primarily of exposed wood and metal. Tall painted pieces such as Eagle need to be watched for damage from birds and their waste. Maintenance of these large structures is expensive, requiring scaffolding or boom lifts. The paint on Eagle is also damaged by grass clippings near the base of its installation, requiring the gardeners to use scissors instead of a lawn mower near the sculpture.

We had an assignment where we had to demonstrate fast and slow shutter speed, along with a panning shot.
Narrow walkway in San Yi Temple, memory of Liu Bei (เล่าปี่) Guan Yu (กวนอู) and Zang Fei (เตียวหุย) who swore to be brothers in the peach garden, orginally built in Tidu street in the period of 1662-1722... The red old fence, embrassing green bamboo, the sunshine day and the breathe of cold air made me feel I had pleasantly walked into history and the place actually is the memorial place for the Three Kingdoms war of Chinese history .
Durng this trip... (both like vacation and study tours) we accompanied 28 persons, mostly were engineers but there were two architects... I forgot to ask the architect how he feel seeing the Chinese architecture and this kind of perspective lines... For me, I just very much love many artistic lines I saw there..
I often feel I quite lack of some freinds to talk about something else not so material...... When I see photo I just want to feel something, not so much in techniques as it is alrealy too much in my professional world..
Maybe because I use both hands, developed both sides of brain.. both science and art.. and I dont know exact way to go... : )

Bathed in the soft glow of early morning light, these train tracks stretch into the distance beneath a brooding sky. The surrounding trees, touched with the colors of late autumn, frame the scene in quiet stillness. A sense of solitude and anticipation fills the air — a tranquil yet powerful reminder of movement, change, and the promise of a new day.
Minimalist example of white paint appearing black in dim dusk light underexposed (although the light fixture is exposed about right). This was on a long open porch of one of the historical Victorian houses in downtown Tallahassee shortly before sunset today.

These are "working" older styled desk phones in the Rotary Dial Club exhibit and Learning Centre. You can call any number in the trailer! Try it.
I loved the colors and the image perspective of this photo, but unfortunately it was out of focus and tweaking the sharpen filter just didn't do it for me.
So I decided to play around with (try to save) the image and apply a couple of the artistic filters in Photoshop.
