Second day of 365 actually included a photoshoot for comedian Nikki Glaser. She needed some new photos. She will be featured on a couple episodes of Last Comic Standing this season, so funny!
The perfect religion for a quiet Sunday evening.
Michael left for 10 days in India, combining a dental conference with some sightseeing. So for the next 10 days or so, his photos will be much more interesting than mine.
Although equipped with decent airsickness I took a window seat this time and did not regret - the cloud formations were formidable!
Sat in the car park this afternoon after a 2hr meeting returning calls. One such call required an email to be sent urgently. I was still in range of the Wi-Fi luckily so managed to use the laptop and send out the info.
Em tempos de conscientização no transitos, bikes e carros tentando coabitar Sampa e o monte de declarações dos dias das mulheres, só poderia dizer uma coisa na foto se hoje: MAIS AMOR, POR FAVOR.
In the place of. I need to get back to taking pictures for the day instead of using old ones. blah. I hate doing that. Been busy. no time to be inspired. But, I love this shot and it makes me happy.

Sorry, kinda missed uploading yesterday's because I fell asleep at 6:30! I was so tired.

Tonight's Project365 photo is of St Andrews Church in Sturt Street.
From onmydoorstep.com.au
The foundation stone of St Andrew's Kirk, Ballarat was laid in 1862 and construction of the bluestone building with freestone detailing was completed in 1864, on the corner of Sturt and Dawson Streets, to designs by Charles D. Cuthbert of Ballarat. The porch and vestry were added in 1873, the tower and spire in 1884 to designs by Figgis and Caselli, and the transepts in 1889 to designs by Figgis and Molloy. Finally the choir vestry was added in 1926.
There is a heap more info on the architectural and historical significance of the building here www.onmydoorstep.com.au/heritage-listing/1398/st-andrews-...
I don't have a good explanation for this bird house Claire and I saw at the local Agway. (Nor do I have a better photo of the day. That's two days in a row!)
Today's Project 365 photo is of the Governor General Quentin Bryce re-opening the Arch of Victory in Ballarat today.
As you can see, the Lighthorse brigade are in the background as well as some of the trees that make up the Avenue of Honour.
The arch has recently undergone much needed conservation work and looks just as good now as when it was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1920
The rest of my shots did not upload in the right order, so I have created a Flickr set of my photos from today with more information on the history of the Arch and the restoration process.
Our third stop for college visits was at Washington University in St. Louis. Not only a great school but a beautiful campus.
These are a few art students sketching Brookings Hall, which houses much of the university's administration. The archway in the center is a main entrance onto the campus.

After yet another convincing 3-1 win against northwestern rivals the Calgary Flames tonight, my beloved Vancouver Canucks find themselves atop the NHL table with a 26-8-5 record, leaving them with 57 competition points. This puts them two points clear of their closest competitors, the Detroit Red Wings, with one game in hand.
Things are looking REAL good at this point of the season. Don't you agree?

I have photographed this alley already on day 253/365 www.flickr.com/photos/deanog/6132670466 but a week ago it had an art installation added.
At first, I had no idea what the wavy yellow line and reflectors were about, until I got to the end and found the plaque.
It is called "Gold Fever" (by Sue Buchannan & Eli Giannini) and represents the price of gold from 1851 (at the far end) to 2011(closest), adjusted for inflation.
Normally for my night shots I don't use a flash, but I made an exception tonight to catch the reflectors.
There are more artworks installed in the other part of Drury Lane, which I may go back to for other Project 365 photos.

The nest was built by a pigeon (whom my daughter christened “Sally”), who has returned here on a regular basis since we moved in. Let’s see if she comes back this year?
We went on a nice bike ride with Kim and Mark on an old rail trail from Wassaic to Millerton New York. It is a generally flat ride with a slight uphill grade to Millerton, whereupon you can have lunch and a cold beer (two works also) and then you can enjoy the slight downhill back.
Brighton has a new farmers' market on Saturdays in the North Laine. It's really lovely, like a mini Borough Market, with lots of veggies, local meat, fruit, baked goods, jams and vinegars - and, at the cafe at the end of the market, a hog roast!
Today I finished my Project365:
365 days ago I started this project by planting 9 tomato seeds, which grew into huge plants and produced delicious fruit.
I end my project today, in a farmers field where millions of plants will be planted, grow, and be harvested.
The cycle of life happens over and over again; with or without us. Life is only in our control for a short period of time. Let's do something worthwhile with it.
Thanks for all of your support along the way.
Today my daughter had her 4 month check up with her Pediatrician and got her immunization shots. Four of them, too. Poor thing, she cried and was not happy at all. She's a bit cranky and hopefully doesn't get sick. I did not have the energy to create a shot for the day so I quickly grabbed the camera and took this shot before my wife put her to sleep.
While he may not look very menacing or scary like bigger dogs (ie: dobermans, pittbulls, and rotties), this norfolk terrier has a big bark. I know that some of the neighborhood dogs think he's crazy cause he barks at them when they walk by, but Arlie is actually also very sweet. That's just his way of saying HI!
Here are just some things we love about him:
* He likes to sunbathe on the porch as evidenced by this photograph here.
* He doesn't like long walks in hot muggy weather. If you walk him, you will have to carry him back.
* He is a great neighbor! (He never throws loud parties like those college students next door).
* The mailman loves him!
As I drove past the old Ballarat Cemetery on my home from work, I looked across and saw that the sunset made some great silhouettes as the sun went down.
From ballaratcemeteries.com.au
Ballarat's first public cemetery was established on the 25th February 1856 when the first trustees were gazetted. Records show that burials took place from 1848 in the vicinity of the old cemetery. The site of the old cemetery which covers 7ha (18 acres) is situated 1 1/2 kilometres from the city centre and 1/2 kilometre from Lake Wendouree, site of the 1956 Olympic rowing and also of the famous Begonias. The cemetery is rich in Ballarat's history as many burials were early settlers of Chinese and European descent who were looking to make their fortune on the goldfields. Two important monuments in Australian history were erected resulting from the Eureka uprising of 1854 Australia's only civil war. The Eureka diggers' monument was erected in 1856 and 23 years later in 1879 a monument was erected by the government of Victoria in memory of the officers and soldiers who died as a result of the uprising. Situated in the centre of the cemetery, surrounded by grand and simple monuments of our forbearers, is the original rotunda built in 1892. This was used as a meeting place prior to burial services. The rotunda has been restored to its original splendour over the years and is now used as the cemeteries' official monogram. The cemetery records show 35,000 interments have taken place since 1856, 18,000 prior to 1884. Today there are no burial locations available to purchase but there are approximately 15 interments each year at existing graves. The 1920 gatehouse building was restored in 1997 and houses a wealth of historical information including Eureka and Ballarat's early generations. Community access to family grave information is now available with the installation of a touch screen computer.
