Here I issue a challenge to my Flickr Friends.
Do not delay. Take a picture of you reading a book that is most relatable to you in some way either by story or author or whatever. Some character, some line, some relation to you. Then post your image to my comment thread and explain why or how.
I often find deep meaning and great understaning in Dickinson myself. Maybe it's because she was an obviously depressed recluse?

The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
The collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations, some of which are artistic views. Popular postcard manufacturers such as Tuck’s Postcards are included in the collection.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

How do you manage trees that were planted in the 1960s as part of post-war housing development in the third decade of the 21st Millennium? With great care, dinosaur smoke and mankind’s great pursuit in conquest over nature.
The process being undertaken in these photos is what's called pollarding, where a trees limbs are removed entirely to encourage later dense growth within 1 to 2 years. Only certain species of trees can handle this brutal operation, like these London Plane trees here. Once a tree is pollarded, it has to be regularly maintained in 5-10 year operations.
Historically, wood harvested from this method would be used to feed livestock or for light timber, but these days, thanks to the infernal combustion engine, two operatives can pollard five trees in as many hours, with the tree limbs being quite violently mechanically separated and carted off to be used either as mulch or biofuel.
I find arboriculture rather fascinating; living amongst the trees in an urban environment, arborists have been a regular sight over the years, performing everything from whole tree clearings to dead wood pruning, I’ve seen them do a lot.
It’s a highly skilled profession with some of the most dangerous and violent tools possible in the workplace – Darwin Award nominees are quickly weeded out.
There is a strange beauty to the brutality of efficiency, especially towards articles of nature.

SB1082 (Relating to Transportation of School Children) simplifies Section 302A-406, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The bill allows for more flexibility by the BOE and DOE regarding contract requirements. This measure will provide the DOE with a tool to control costs of school bus transportation by removing statutory requirements related to school bus procurement.
SB1083 (Relating to Transportation of School Children) exempts contracts for transportation for school services from Section 103-55, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Under the provisions of this bill, the DOE will not need to require school bus contractors to certify that they pay same wages as public officers and employees. The bill removes the statutory requirements related to school bus procurement.

This relates to my inquiry because I am using light to create various melancholy pictures to answer the question "How might different types of light convey emotion to one viewing the photo?"
I wrapped green Christmas lights around the model, and had him look at me. I then upped the contrast, clarity and the color green itself in photoshop.

A celebrated tale relates that the Fraunenkirche Cathedrals architect who made a pact with the devil, who supplied funds on condition that the building would have no visible windows. On completing his work, the architect took the devil to a point where no window was in view. The devil stamped his foot in rage and departed, leaving a mark you can see to this day on the Cathedral floor.
This relates to the six leading citizens who were taken by Edward III of England after the siege of Calais during the Hundred Years' War. In front of the building there is a sculpture by Auguste Rodin, also depicting "The Burghers of Calais".
The city commissioned Rodin to create the sculpture in 1884 and the work was completed in 1889
The six burghers depicted are:
Eustache de Saint Pierre
Jacques de Wissant
Pierre de Wissant
Jean de Fiennes
Andrieu d'Andres
Jean d'Aire
Under French law, no more than 12 original casts of works of Rodin may be made.
One such cast is in Victoria Tower Gardens adjacent to the Houses of Parliament in London; cast 1908, installed on this site in 1914 and unveiled 19 July 1915
HB632 (Relating to Open Data) requires state departments to make electronic data sets available to the public. The bill also requires the chief information officer (CIO) to develop policies and procedures to implement the Open Data Initiative, and appropriates $100,000 each fiscal year of the biennium to Office of Information Practices (OIP).
HB635 (Relating to Broadband) requires the state and counties to take action in advancing the Hawaii Broadband Initiative within 60 days (for conservation districts, the state must take action within 145 days). The initiative's goal is to provide ultra high-speed Internet access by 2018, and this clear and decisive timeline will reduce uncertainty for broadband companies and serve as an incentive to invest in increased bandwidth.
SB1003 (Relating to Information Technology), another of the administration's bills, authorizes the CIO to conduct security audits and direct remedial actions, as necessary, in the management of the state's cyber security.

Focus will help you find the answers to your insomnia problem. This means it might be necessary for you to learn how to tackle insomnia by improving your sleep patterns. Starting with this article, you are about to learn many strategies other insomniacs have used to get themselves to sleep all night long.
If your insomnia is interrupting your sleep, ask your significant other if they can give you a massage. This is a fantastic way to make yourself sleepier and get tension out of your body. Let go of your thoughts and just enjoy your massage and relax.
At least 30 minutes before heading off to bed, turn off all electronic devices such as your computer and television. These devices tend to be stimulating. If you power them down, then your body has a chance to start shutting down too. Make a routine of turning off the TV and your computer after a set hour.
Try to get some exercise. Surprisingly enough, people working in office jobs suffer with insomnia more so than those doing physical labor jobs. Your body needs to be tired out sufficiently so that it can sleep. At a minimum, try walking for a mile or two when you get home from work.
Prescription sleep aids may be necessary if nothing else is working. Visit your physician and talk about what is the appropriate sleep aid for you.
If you can't sleep at night, get out in the sun during daytime hours. Go outside for lunch and get some sun. Melatonin production starts when you get sunlight on your skin and helps you get to sleep.
Beating insomnia is not easy, but it is very much worth it. Begin now to start sleeping well soon. Insomnia can be gotten over, and your effort will help you do that when you use the information here. waystofallasleeptonight.com/cant-sleep-get-great-tips-abo...
The School of Tagaste, relates to his Confessions, probably his best-known work, written between 397 and 401.
The picture shows him starting school at the elementary school of Tagaste. The teacher walking towards the young Augustine is greeting him by gently caressing his face.
Within the family group his mother, St Monica, is highlighted by means of a golden halo which obeys the laws of perspective.
In the simultaneous scene on the right the teacher is punishing a pupil while the little Augustine is attentively studying a school slate with Greek letters on it.
From the scale of the buildings and figures it can be seen how far the pictorial space extends backwards. In this way Benozzo creates a counterweight to the arrangement of the figures parallel to the picture in the foreground.
Particularly characteristic of this cycle is the city view with buildings in the style of the Early Renaissance, including depictions of some that really exist.
The inscription tells us that Augustine made considerable advances within a short space of time in the Latin school of Tagaste, and emphasizes the Latin element that dominated his education

The name ‘Treasurer’s House’ relates to the building that first stood on this site which was built for the medieval Treasurers of York Minster. The first Treasurer was appointed in 1091 AD. The Treasurer controlled the finances of the Minster but also entertained important guests, which is why he was provided with a grand residence. All that remains of the original Treasurer’s House is an external wall from the 12th century.
The Reformation of the English Church in the 1540s brought an end to the job of Treasurer and the house passed into the hands of the Archbishops of York. Thomas Young, Archbishop between 1562 and 1568, and his descendants are responsible for the structure of Treasurer’s House as it is today. The symmetrical front was part of changes made by the Young family in the early 17th century which involved almost entirely rebuilding the house. Treasurer’s House played host to royalty when Sir George Young entertained King James I in 1617.
During the 18th century Treasurer’s House became the town residence of gentry families, lawyers and clergy. The greatest changes made during this period were the division of the building into several residences and the various extensions made. By the end of the 19th century, the house was very decayed and poorly cared for. However, just at the turn of the century Frank Green came to the rescue.
Frank Green was a wealthy collector, and owned Treasurer’s House between 1897 and 1930. He demolished the additions made to the building in the 19th century and restored the house to what he thought was its original shape. He turned Treasurer’s House into a stage for his collection, designing rooms of different periods to display his antique furniture. It was at this time that Treasurer’s House received a second royal visit, in June 1900. Edward VII and Queen Alexandra visited as Prince and Princess of Wales along with their daughter Victoria. It was in their honour that the King’s Room, Queen’s Room and Princess Victoria’s Room were so named.
Frank Green was a very precise man, in both his own appearance and the way he ran his home. He was a bit of a ‘dandy’, neatly dressed and often seen wearing a floppy silk bow tie. He had studs fixed to the floor in the rooms of Treasurer’s House so the house maids knew exactly where furniture should stand. Frank was also careful about the state of his house; signs can be seen at Treasurer’s House with careful instructions to the staff. A former kitchen maid told how Frank would inspect the kitchen, turning out any drawers he thought were untidy. Frank Green retired to Somerset in 1930 and gave Treasurer’s House to the National Trust, complete with his vast collection. It was the first historic house acquired by the Trust with its contents complete.
This photo was captured after I spent the day trying to decide on what to shoot and what to relate to my viewer. I thought about what things appealed to me and stopped on the fact that I loved the city at night. The artificial lighting provided by streetlights, vehicle lights, building lights, and moonlight always stand out to me during my nightly travels. This visual appeal combined with the sounds of cars driving by, hearing their wheels on asphalt, and the occasional honk of a horn led to me deciding to shoot at night. I was looking for a Batman, Dark Knight vibe with my pictures. I was in the area of the 95th Street Red-Line Chicago Transit station when I captured my shots. This station has recently been renovated. The façade of the station is trimmed in red and has a white background. Various views and angles of the station provide sharp contemporary lines. These sharp, straight, red lines, appear at times to flow or point to the sky. I noticed police vehicles parked in front of one of the exits at this station and decided to try to capture night shots of the vehicle. My attempt was to capture the dark gritty vibe of the city with my photos, I used my flash at times to determine if it's use would give me the desired effect. I also experimented with changing various camera settings to capture with the camera what I saw with my eyes. The Chicago Police car was predominately white in color with lettering on the side doors. I noticed how the vehicle stood out against the concrete grey of the sidewalk and street. I also noticed how the artificial streetlights provided the vibe I was looking for. I reflected on when the reading material referred to “shapes” in a photograph while taking this picture. Shapes in a photograph can be used as visual transition points, moving the viewers eye from subject to subject. My intent was to take a picture where the object in the foreground would draw the viewers eye, followed by the object at the rear. In this picture I used the police cars to draw the viewers eye and the red awning to draw the viewers eye toward the rear. This picture also contained leading lines. The lines on the awning, and because I chose to shoot with the camera angled up, also drew the viewers eye. I kneeled to snap a picture of the rain drops on the vehicle and immediately noticed that I could capture the red façade of the transit station in the background of my photograph. The angle of this photo takes the viewer's eye up and toward the red façade, pointing to the moonlight behind the cloud. The lines then carry the viewers eyes toward the view of the front of a police car under a white awning. I like the way the red looks against the dark lit sky. I used the Photoshop Elements software to sharpen my image and darken the blacks of my photograph.
