A couple of SL avatars I had to get a screenshot of together.
Both avatars are made using Vitruvian Shapes as the basis. "Athletic Male" for the man and "Japanese Woman C" for the woman.
The man is about 6', the woman is 5'.

So this is a picture of my nephew that I used for the proportion challenge. It definitely could have been sharper and more in focus. But I don't have a tripod or anything, so behind this picture is a mess of me fumbling with the paintbrush and camera. Also, he was mad at me because his arm started to hurt. I still like the idea, and I may be biased, but he is adorable :)
The Five Sisters window.
York Minster is without doubt one of the largest and most impressive Gothic architectural buildings in all of England. The full majestic proportion of the building can be seen after entering a few narrow streets called the shambles that bring you to the south of the Church. Altho it's the Cathedral of York and it's dedication is St Peter, the building was given the title Minster for it's importance in the church field considering it's the home place for the Archbishop of York.
The Minster has had a long very active history with there being a building on site back to the Anglo- Saxon age. The Norman's built a Cathedral on site in the 11th-Century but shortly after the present Gothic Structure was built in place starting from the 13th-Century. The new nave was built on the old Norman Cathedral foundations and shortly after the Transepts, Choir and Chapter House were constructed. The original Central tower collapsed in 1407 and the present tower was built along with the western towers near the end of the Century.
The Cathedral has many notable features which includes the Chapter house, octagonal shaped with carvings of heads around the bases of the large windows, the space in the Nave and Choir making them the largest of their kind in England, a decorated Central tower and a large collection of bells which are set in the Western towers, one of them holding the Cathedral's hour bell 'Great Peter' along with 6 clock bells, while the other tower holds the 14 peal as well as a collection of 22 Carillion bells which are unique in an English Cathedral.
The Cathedral's main interior feature is it's medieval stained glass which is seen throughout the building. At the West end is a large window which near the top is heart shaped which has since been given title 'The Heart of Yorkshire'. The transepts too have their stained glass masterpieces with the North having the five sisters window while the South has a rose window.
The most famous Stained glass window in the Minster is the Great East Window by John Thornton, the largest piece of medieval glass in the world at 76 ft and if layed down would cover one of Wimbledon's tennis courts. For the past couple years the window has been replaced by a large full size print copy of the window since the glass was taken out as part of a large restoration project that is due to be completed in 2016.
During the Minster's turbulent history, it's been noted for having a number of disasters caused by fire. The first recorded instance was during the Anglo-Saxon period when the old wooden structure was destroyed. In 1137 the old Norman structure was damaged and replaced by another Norman building afterwards.
Most recently was a fire in 1829 started by resident Jonathan Martin which destroyed the East end roof along with the organ, after this Martin was tried at the Courts and sent to the Lunatic Asylum as it was found he was mentally unstable at the time of starting the arson. Shortly afterwards in 1840 the Nave and South West tower were gutted by a fire this time by accident.
On July 9 1984 thinking it was a lightning strike, fire destroyed the South Transept roof leaving it a gutted shell and open to the elements. Up to £2 million was spent to renovate the damage which was completed in 1988.
“No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even if it be only the faintest shadow - and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals”
Proportion is also clearly shown here in the form of me being the height of the trees. The most successful aspect of this picture is how well I blend into the fog.

All the best on your epic hero's odyssey! :)
Been hard at work on my books--my physics books on Dynamic Dimensions Theory (dx4/dt=ic) celebrating the hitherto unsung reality of the fourth expanding dimension which all the photons surf across the universe en route to making a photograph! Also working on an art, mythology, and photography book titled The Golden Hero's Odyssey! All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey! Always love hearing from y'all! :)
Not so long ago a high proportion of stations in Britain were gas lit (a few, into the 1980's, were oil lit!). They've all gone from the national network now, but some preserved railways keep the tradition alive. Here is Haworth station on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire. A truly super ride in a beautiful part of the country. Alight at Haworth for the Bronte Parsonage and it's literary associations with the Bronte Sisters. Then perhaps go for a walk near 'Wuthering Heights'.

I don't know if this picture makes much sense to you but it's an amazing place.
This was the only angle I could get without falling 50 foot into furious water.
Although not in proportion, this is roughly what my room appears in floor plan (my room is a tad larger than this). It was my first day in AutoCad class, and this was my first try. We actually didn't have to do this, but I was just playing around while the professor was giving her lesson, and she came up to my desk thinking I was talking on MSN instead of paying attention to the lesson, but then she saw this :) She had a stunned sort of face, as I had sworn this was my first attempt with this damned program.

These pictures from Gansu province were taken during a nine-day trip in May 2015. Gansu is a province at the geographical heart of China. Its capital, Lanzhou, is pretty close to the center of the country as can be from what I can tell by looking at maps.
Gansu, though, is most certainly considered west China by the Chinese. Physically, the province reminds me of a small dumbbell sitting on an angle. There’s a southern (southeastern) section that is slightly large and has a high elevation (often between 2,000-3,000 meters) with a higher concentration of Muslims and Tibetans than most other areas of China. When you get closer to Xiahe, where Labrang Monastery is located, road signs are both in Tibetan and Mandarin. The LP 2011 had listed three places of interest in southern Gansu: Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, Labrang Monstery in Xiahe (listed as one of the 30 “Must Dos” in China), and Langmusi down on the Sichuan border. I had originally intended to visit all three places, but ended up dropping Langmusi – the Alpine village – and spending an extra day out west.
So all told in the south, I spent a few overcast hours in Hezuo at Milarepa Palace (as quirky as I recall LP saying it is, but also something I could have done without) before spending two nights at the Overseas Tibetan Hotel about 100 meters outside the eastern gate of Labrang Monastery in Xiahe. Xiahe was mesmerizing to me. It reminded me a little of some western US towns: one wide, main street that runs the length of town and most of the buildings are two- or three-story establishments.
Xiahe is around 3,300 meters in elevation, so altitude sickness is mentioned a few times, though I never experienced any type of nausea. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel (not extravagant, but nice and comfortable beds), the owner (Lohsang Amso – a good man – who can also arrange bike rental, local and regional travel, etc.) and the good folks a few doors down at the Snowy Mountain Cafe – which seems to only be open in the evening – but where you can eat yak…which I did. One night, I had Nepalese yak curry (Nepalese chicken curry the other night). Other than that, I was amazed at how close (and countless) the stars in the night sky seemed to be, but given the altitude and lack of surface light, it wasn’t unexpected…just amazing.
Having spent the previous day on a morning flight from Chengdu to Lanzhou (one provincial capital to another), an hour bus ride from Lanzhou Airport downtown, another 45 minute taxi ride across town (through horrendous traffic), a 4 hour bus ride from Lanzhou down to southern Gansu that ended in Hezuo, an hour or two at Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, then finally another 1-2 hour bus from Hezuo to Xiahe, I finally found myself plopping down on my bed at the Overseas Tibetan…sometime in early evening.
Though things didn’t go exactly as planned, they were close enough and I really had no complaints. My biggest surprise was the number of mosques I saw en route to Xiahe. (I hadn’t realized that the Muslim population in this particular region was quite so large.)
Upon waking the following morning – it was a Monday, I recall – I made the incredibly short walk to the Labrang Monastery. Labrang Monastery is a fascinating place. It was founded in 1709 by Ngagong Tsunde (first generation of the third in line behind the Dalai and Panchen Lamas). It is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat sect) order of Tibetan Buddhism. Three of the other six are near Lhasa, one near Shigatse, and the other near Xining (Qinghai province).
This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple (if I remember reading correctly) outside Tibet. To walk the entire kora (circumference of the temple with prayer wheels) is over a 3 km endeavor, which I undertook on that Monday morning.
It was a pleasant walk, rife with photographic opportunities – people don’t mind having their pictures taken, though the Tibetan monks…not so much. They had to give their permission, and usually didn’t want to, which was fine by me. Around the back (north) side of the monastery, there’s an outer kora trail up the mountain that would give a nice view, but I was frankly too lazy to take it (and didn’t find it, anyway).
And the people. Photographing people here (monks or otherwise) is just…a treasure trove waiting to happen. Regarding the monks living here, there apparently used to be about four thousand, but limits have been set to around 1,800 now. (All I’ll say is, like most places in China, the Cultural Revolution was none too kind...)
After walking the kora, I hung out at Everest Cafe (Lohsang’s restaurant at the Overseas Tibetan) for a no frills breakfast, then spent the remainder of the morning with a tour of the interior of the temple and wandering around the grounds. The monastery has a few different temples, monastic colleges, living residences…it’s really quite a large compound.
The day had started sunny, but by sundown was turning pretty cloudy, so no great sunset shots to be had here, and it was getting a bit chilly in the evening at that altitude, so as soon as it was evident there wouldn’t be any more shooting, I went on over to Snowy Mountain for a relaxing dinner alone before retiring to my room for the night. Tuesday morning found me on another long travel day via bus, taxi, and train…to the opposite side of the province: western Gansu province, which was almost like another planet.
I get the impression there's an unusually high proportion of good local photographers in Edinburgh. In part that will be due to Edinburgh hosting quite a number of good photography courses, including some with international reputations. But some of it must be due to the extraodinarily photogenic nature of the city's streets. There are views all over Edinburgh which if just one of them occurred in another town they'd probably be running bus tours to it, or as in this case, charging an entrance fee.

Durst Automatica 1956-63. Possibly the best looking camera ever made. Form, proportion, materials, finishes, fonts...it absolutely embodies the era. It's Hepburn and Peck on a Vespa. It's Bertone, Tano Festa and Valentino all in one. A Latin counterpoint to Leica and Dieter Rams. It doesn't need to be interesting under the skin but it is, being the world's first 35mm aperture priority camera and doing it pneumatically. The 4th and final camera produced by enlarger-maker Durst SA of Bolzano up near the Italian Alps. They had a thing for pneumatic escapements - the Durst 66 was another example and both of mine work well today, 60 years on.
Forests occupy a large proportion of the land area in the Western Balkans – from 28 per cent in Albania up to 44.7 per cent in Kosovo1 (Tomter et al., 2013, World Bank, 2012) – and play a significant social and economic role in all of the countries, both in terms of the national economies and local livelihoods. People in rural areas rely heavily on fuelwood not only for energy, but also for employment and additional income. The wood industry is an important contributor to the development of local economies. In some countries, the contribution of forestry to GDP is high (8 per cent in Montenegro), but in other countries it ranges between 0.5 and 2.5 per cent (Markus-Johansson et al., 2010); however, the true value to local economies and livelihoods is estimated to be much higher. Forests also provide numerous ecosystem services including maintaining biodiversity, mitigating and adapting to climate change effects and regulating soil and water regimes.

Direct Proportion When two ratios are equal, they are said to be in proportion.To verify whether two ratios are in proportion, we simplify the two ratios first and then we determine whether they are equal or not. If both the simplified ratios are equal, they are said to be in proportion. If the simplified ratios are not equal, then the ratios are not in proportion.

Somewhere in Washington State - Without people it would be difficult to tell how large or small things are when it comes to pictures, paintings, movies or almost any visual medium. We know the human body very well; we subconsciously compare the human size to everything we see. Without people this tree wouldn’t seem so ridiculous large and it wouldn’t be that interesting. You only call things “big” because smaller things exist. Philosophically speaking, If EVERYTHING was the same size nothing we know could exist. This is how a photograph of a tree turns into philosophical rhetoric. By the time you are finished reading this paragraph 104,166 sandwiches will have been eaten in the United States.
