Vista Point is a park that abuts Lake Lewisville in North Texas.
The warm tones of this winter scene appealed to me.
I personally believe it is much better if viewed at the larger sizes....
TodaysArt festival
Atrium, Den Haag 2013
Oneohtrix Point Never's richly complex audio landscapes demand attentive listening, but luckily give the listener no other choice than to be drawn in completely and experience the journey.A beautiful trip through intimate fields of sound filled with noise, synths, melodies, strange rhythms and beautiful vocal samples. Daniel Lopatin has proven himself a true craftsman in his field of ambient music by staying clear of the conventions and creating his own personal, very emotional sound. His new album 'R Plus Seven' will be released only a couple of days after his show at TodaysArt on Warp Records.
A view from court point depicting the hussle and bussle of Sylhet City life. Including Ali Amjad's Clock Tower, Keane Bridge over the river Surma, "The gateway to Sylhet" and the gates of Circuit House Park.
Although it was cold and windy, the beautiful shoreline definitely had downplayed the weather effects.
Centre Point was built as speculative office space by property tycoon Harry Hyams, who had leased the site at £18,500 a year for 150 years. Hyams and Seifert engaged in negotiations with the London County Council over the height of the building, which was much taller than would normally be allowed and was highly controversial; eventually he was allowed to build 32 floors in return for providing a new road junction between St Giles Circus, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, which the LCC could not afford to build on its own. Hyams intended that the whole building be occupied by a single tenant.
On completion, the building remained empty for many years. With property prices rising and most business tenancies taken for set periods of 10 or 15 years, Hyams could afford to keep it empty and wait for his single tenant at the asking price of £1,250,000; he was challenged to allow tenants to rent single floors but consistently refused. The prominent nature of the building led to it becoming a symbol of greed in the property industry. Some campaigners demanded that the government of Edward Heath should intervene and take over the building, and at one point in June 1972 Peter Walker (then Secretary of State for the Environment) offered £5 million for the building. Eventually Hyams agreed to let the building by floors but the arrangements were stalled.
A more intriguing speculation was that the government was paying Hyams "a heavy but secret subsidy to keep it empty" for its own purposes. Various conspiracy theories circulated about what those purposes might be. One common theme was that since the building was 100% air-conditioned (a rarity in London at that time), and sited over Tottenham Court Road tube station and its deep tube lines, this would somehow make it useful to the government in the event of nuclear war.
Since July 1980, the building has been the headquarters of the Confederation of British Industry. In 1995 Centre Point became a Grade II listed building. Noted architecture critic Nikolaus Pevsner described Centre Point as "coarse in the extreme". In 2009, the building won the Concrete Society's Mature Structures Award.

Needed something to brighten up my mothers day and the late afternoon clouds looked promising so I headed down to Picnic Point to shoot sunset. It wasnt as good as I hoped but I was glad there was some color and clouds.

This was my view from high atop the Ferris Wheel at Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. Amazingly they were showing a photo that I had taken earlier in my trip for everyone to see. (ahem...with a little CS help). In case you do know my sister-in-law please tell her that you WERE there and DID see her on the big screen.
Point of Ayr lighthouse at Talacre beach ...
Point of Ayr gives its name to a lighthouse, built in 1776, though inactive since 1844. It stands on Talacre beach at the entrance to the River Dee estuary.
The lighthouse once displayed two lights. The main beam at 63 feet shone seaward towards Llandudno. A secondary beam shone up the River Dee towards the hamlet of Dawpool in Cheshire on the English side of the estuary.
Whilst in service the lighthouse was painted with red and white stripes and had a red lantern housing.
Treacherous boulders, slippery with seaweed form a rocky beach extending 1km around the headland at Copt Point in Folkestone. This rocky and challenging terrain is the result of the eroding cliff face. The area has become rich in a wide range of brachiopods, bivalves and gastropods. Crinoids and belemnites are also commonly found. These fossils, unearthed from the fragile crumbling cliffs date back to the Cretaceous era (110-80 million years ago) and draw many visitors. This rocky shoreline is where I took the photos used in this HDR image.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
It’s a term used to describe a way to ‘digitally develop’ your photos using the tonal information contained in multiple exposures of the same shot. Combining a normal shot with a slightly underexposed shot and a slightly overexposed shot ensure that you have a good amount of detail in both the shadows and the highlights. A little creative post processing using photoshop can enhance the image and add some atmosphere.

From Wikipedia:

I know what you're thinking.
No - I REALLY do.
You obviously know that this is the staircase inside of the monument at High Point, NJ (the one that looks like the Washington Monument).
OK - so what YOU are thinking right now is that, when you were a kid, you climbed all of these stairs and spit your gum out over the edge and it landed right where that man with the camera is lying on the floor taking this photo.
So, to all of you, I would just like to say, "Thanks for really making the time I spent taking this photo EXTRA special!"
The truely funny photo would not be the one of me lying on that filthy floor with my camera. No - it would be the one of the parents grabbing their children by the hand and leading them away from me as far and as fast as they could.
"No, Johnny, he's not dead, he's just had too much to drink. No, you can't poke him with a stick. No, you absolutely can NOT touch him. No, I'm sure that is not his camera - he probably stole it somewhere. We'll call the police when we get outside. Now, hurry!"

Sundown over the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse on the Northern California Mendocino coast.
Its Third Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1909, and has served as an aid to mariners ever since. According to the nautical charts, it casts its beam twenty-two miles out to sea six times a minute.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
A 5-Image Panorama of Garry Point Park - Steveston BC Canada
Artist: Yvonne Domenge - Mexico
Media : Painted bronze
Much of the work of Mexican sculptor Yvonne Domenge references nature, architecture and a fascination with form and geometry. In this intense red circular form Domenge provides us with an elegant decorative form full of curves and movement. The circular form is rhythmic and undulating creating the sense of a waving motion within a contained form.
Working in materials as diverse as wood, stone, cement, clay, marble, carbon steel, porcelain, silver and resin, Domenge has had more than forty individual exhibitions and participated in close to 200 group exhibitions in cities across Mexico, the United States, Canada, China and Europe, including the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
In addition to being recognized for her artistic and creative work, Domenge has also engaged in the mentoring of young sculptors and in projects addressing social issues, such as housing programs in the State of Chiapas (Programa Emergente de Vivienda para Chiapas Nuevo Milenio) as well as creating sculptures with the participation of the inhabitants of the Buenos Aires neighborhood, a low-income housing area in Mexico City.
