"...and if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll"

In 1999, artist Stephen B Whatley was commissioned by both The Royal Collection & The London Transport Museum to undertake two paintings of Buckingham Palace on location - inside & out. The paintings were then reproduced on posters all over the London Underground Network to advertise the Summer opening of the state apartments of the Palace; the official residence of Her Majesty The Queen.
This is a detail from the top of the painting of The Grand Staircase, in the Palace; at the foot of which the artist stood and interpreted in his vibrant colours and dynamic marks, for two days.
The poster became a bestselling poster at the museum in 1999; and continues to be so to this day.
Oil on canvas 40 x 30in
Collection London Transport Museum UK

Taking in the view from hiking down the south side of the Ko'olau into Moanalua Valley after hiking up and reaching the summit of "Stairway to Heaven". This was such as amazing day.

Found while out shooting the other day, I loved the shadow the most, but thought it was a nice touch with the angels. There were actually many angels in this area :)

Stairway To Heaven - Pink Floyd
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Oh, it makes me wonder
Oh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Oh, it makes me wonder
Oh, really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the may queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know, the piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul, there walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold and if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
Escadaria Para o Paraíso
Há uma senhora que acredita que tudo o que brilha é ouro
E ela está comprando uma escadaria para o paraíso
Quando ela chega lá ela descobre que se as lojas estiverem todas fechadas
Com apenas uma palavra ela consegue o que veio buscar
E ela está comprando uma escadaria para o paraíso
Há um cartaz na parede mas ela quer ter certeza
Porque você sabe que às vezes as palavras têm duplo sentido
Em uma árvore a beira do riacho há um rouxinol que canta
Às vezes todos os nossos pensamentos estão errados.
(2x)
Isto me faz pensar
Há algo que sinto quando olho para o oeste
E meu espírito chora ao partir
Em meus pensamentos tenho visto anéis de fumaça atravessando as árvores
E as vozes daqueles que ficam parados olhando
Isto me faz pensar
Isto realmente me faz pensar
E um sussurro avisa que em breve se todos entoarmos a canção
O flautista nos levará à razão
E um novo dia irá nascer para aqueles que suportarem
E a floresta irá ecoar gargalhadas
Woe, oh
Se há um alvoroço em sua horta
Não fique assustada
É apenas limpeza de primaveril da rainha de maio
Sim, há dois caminhos que você pode seguir
Mas na longa estrada
Há sempre tempo de mudar o caminho que você segue
E isso me faz pensar
Oh
Sua cabeça lateja e não vai parar caso você não saiba
O flautista te chama para você se juntar a ele
Querida senhora, pode ouvir o vento soprar? e você sabia
Sua escadaria repousa no vento sussurrante
E enquanto corremos soltos pela estrada
Com nossas sombras mais altas que nossas almas
Lá caminha uma senhora que todos conhecemos
Que brilha luz branca e quer mostrar
Como tudo ainda vira ouro
E se você ouvir com atenção
A canção irá finalmente chegar a você
Quando todos são um e um é o todo
Ser uma rocha e não rolar
Oh
E ela está comprando uma escadaria para o paraíso...
i hope this doesn't give any OSHA inspectors a heart attack, but they take a little more relaxed attitude toward these things in Addis Ababa.
Also, next on my Top 1000, "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
"And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to heaven..."
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Seen while walking back from the Wetlands Preserve. The cloud in front of the sun looked a bit like a stairway leading up to a white gate....
Dedicated to all who are suffering as a result of the recent earthquake in Haiti.
I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

Yup, As the title suggested, a little Led Zeppelin inspiration. While I am typing this right now, the song is actually playing in the background. Other than that, I wanted to portray something like a goddess guarding the stairs to the heavens. I wanted something very mythological in creating this composite because honestly, I just love everything that is quite mythological. For me it just screams timeless, beauty, and classic.
You never know what you have until you go back and look at it again. This is from one of the series of photos I took during the last session I did with my friend. I knew there was something about this photo that I just couldn't point my fingers at until a few days ago. Then it just struck me to create a concept around the photo. The beauty of how she is posed, the curvature of her body just makes the image more powerful to look at for me.
I captured this image, during another epic storm. There was about a 10 minute break, in the middle of the storm, and I was able to capture some of my best storm images to date. The black and white, that is one of the first pictures on here, is from the same event.

Stairway to Heaven
KSRT- Bowman Trail to The Stairway to Heaven 2012
notsogreathikingblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/ksrt-bowman-to-...
For the longest time I have wanted to capture the beauty of God Ray's and never have until yesterday evening. I hope you all like my shot of stairways to heaven as that is what I called them when I was a little girl :)
Brutally Large on a Brutal Black Background
Well, I'm sure it's not really the end of Brutalism, but this delightful staircase illustrates well the foibles of that architectural genre, don't you know. Lordy, that sounds all rather glam and fancy.
So... where is this delicious place as I'm sure you want to visit the disgarded cone, trolley and delicately positioned pile of rubbish above the second flight down.
Step forward Baynard House home to the Freaky Baby Sculpture Thing.
Designed by William Holford it is a classic example Brutalist architecture and was once described by George Ferguson of the Royal Institute of British Architects as "more akin to a car park than an office building" which illustrates how it's not exactly everyone's cup of tea. George disliked it so much that he wanted it included in the so-called "Grade X" listing of buildings which should be demolished.
Calm down dear!
The fact that he didn't want the beheamouth which is the Faraday Building opposite, which dwarfs St Pauls, demolished is curious to say the least as that building is the one which inspired the "no higher than three stories" legislation for buildings around the cathedral. Baynard House complies with this.
Anyway, the real claim to fame is that the building was home to the first System X telephone exchange which ran in tandem with an existing electro-mechanical exchange in the same building and switched between around 40 of London's telephone exchanges.
Revealed in 1979 in Geneva, System X went live on July 1st 1981 amid much fanfare which pretty much fell flat since the details had been known for two years already. A journalist of the time headlined the go-live with "System X is alive and Yellow" which was his lasting impression of the reveal - the yellow referring to the "off-custard" colour of the cabinets the equipment was in, which previously had been grey.
The building was also home to the defunct British Telecom Museum, which now only existing online here. More of that later, but I will reveal that this staircase leads up to the front door of the museum.
Personally I love Brutalist architecture and flick my bogey's at the like of George and Prince Charles when they openly rail against it. I love it as much as I love Victorian architecture, modern architecture and indeed any kind of design which stimulates the old brain and makes me think. The only architecture I don't like is the unispiring cookie-cutter designs of housing which is unfortunately in abundance across the UK.
So, as such, I like Baynard Castle and I'm particularly fond of the lighting which is hidden in the ceilings and casts a homely glow over the genteel decay.
Enjoy
