Here's another view from the back stockroom. The "STP" lettering on the helium tank sign has the words "simplify the process" underneath.

Photo taken on a Hike on the Diez Vistas Trail From Buntzen Lake on September 18th 2011. It rained all day and we spent most of the days up in the clouds.
Develop a deep rapport with nature,
create beauty in your life,
learn to delight in solitude,
cherish silence,
love and laugh,
look at the details,
discover something new,
breathe deep,
and learn to trust that still, small voice within.

As the clock ticks away from 2013 to welcome 2014 , once again the rain try to taunt my plan for a photography trip again...I manage to rush to my usual spot only to find the bushes had grew so tall that it had blocked my composition of the CBD lanscape. I had no choice but to explore and get over the bushes and closer to the water. Luckily for me , this trip went well and i hope throughout 2014 , I will be as lucky as today.

About Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands (traditional Chinese: 濱海灣金沙; simplified Chinese: 滨海湾金沙) is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including cost of the prime land.[1][2]
With the casino complete, the resort features a 2,561-room hotel, a 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m2) convention-exhibition centre, the 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m2) The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, an iconic ArtScience museum, two large theatres, seven "celebrity chef" restaurants, two floating Crystal Pavilions, an ice skating rink, and the world's largest atrium casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines. The complex is topped by a 340m-long SkyPark with a capacity of 3,900 people and a 150m infinity swimming pool, set on top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67m.[3][4] The 20-hectare resort was designed by Moshe Safdie Architects. The local architect of record was Aedas Singapore, and engineering was provided by Arup and Parsons Brinkerhoff (MEP). The main contractor was Ssangyong Engineering and Construction.[5]
Originally set to open in 2009, Las Vegas Sands faced delays caused by escalating costs of material and labour shortages from the onset. The severe global financial crisis also pressured the company to delay its projects elsewhere to complete the integrated resort.[6] Although Marina Bay Sands has been compared on scale and development costs to MGM's CityCenter, the latter is a mixed-use development, with condominium properties (comprising three of the seven main structures) being sold off.[7][8]
The resort was officially opened with a two-day celebration on 23 June 2010 at 3.18 pm, after a partial opening (which included the casino) on 27 April 2010.[9] The SkyPark opened a day later on 24 June 2010. The theatres were completed in time for the first performance by Riverdance on 30 November 2010. The floating pavilions are still being built and are expected to be fully completed by 2011. The indoor skating rink, which uses artificial ice, opened to a performance by Michelle Kwan on 18 December 2010. The ArtScience Museum opened to the public and the debut of a 13-minute light, laser and water spectacle called Wonder Full on 19 February 2011 marked the full completion of the entire Integrated Resort.
The grand opening of Marina Bay Sands was held on 17 February 2011. It also marked the opening of the seven celebrity chef restaurants. The highly-anticipated Broadway musical The Lion King debuted on 3 March 2011.[10] The last portion of the Marina Bay Sands, the floating pavilions, were finally opened to the public when the two tenants (Louis Vuitton and Pangaea Club) opened on 18 September 2011 and 22 September 2011 respectively.
About Garden by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay consists of three distinctive waterfront gardens – Bay South, Bay East and Bay Central, spanning a total of 101 hectares. They are set in the heart of Singapore’s new downtown Marina Bay, encircling the Marina Reservoir like a green necklace. The Gardens will complement the array of attractions around Marina Bay.
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government that further transforms Singapore from a ‘Garden City’ to a ‘City in a Garden’, in which the city is woven into a green and floral tapestry. This aims to raise the quality of life in Singapore with a more holistic and all-encompassing programme that enhances greenery and flora in the city. First announced to the public by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the National Day Rally in August 2005, Gardens by the Bay will become Singapore’s premier urban outdoor recreation space, and a national icon.
An international competition for the design of the master plan was held in January 2006 to elicit the best designs for the Gardens. This attracted more than 70 entries submitted by 170 firms from 24 countries, from which two firms – Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter – were eventually awarded the master plan design for the Bay South and Bay East Gardens respectively.
The Gardens are being developed in phases. Bay South is currently being constructed and is slated to be completed by June 2012. Bay East has been developed as an interim park in support of the Youth Olympic Games 2010, and is scheduled to open to the public in late 2011 or early 2012. The full master plan implementation of Bay East and the development of Bay Central are part of the next phase of development.

Taken a couple of weeks ago downtown Vancouver. A minimalist shot of what it looks like there during the playoffs this month. Game one in two hours!!
Fun with Topaz Simplify and Flaming Pear Flexify and a very large hardened basalt volcano plug. How often do you get to put all that together??
I have a lot of interior design and vintage finds to sell
I love what I do but am out of energy at the end of the day to determine how to expand, to enterprise, to take it to the next level, so to speak
It's time to simplify
We are going to open everything up for sale
I've had a etsy banner done (by the talente Hijiri) for vintage wares for over a year
Haven't taken it to further to actually load my wares and set up shop
I promise
I've gathered some really cool pieces
Sweet and throwback
I love the 50's, the 60's, the 70's
This is throwing myself out there, getting honest, maybe it will help me be accountable.
Peace
UPDATE: SOLD to CaritoJames.
I'm moving, and as I do so, I'm simplifying my life. Do I really need *two* computers, especially when I'm on the go so much? Sigh … no. So I'm selling my 17-inch flat panel iMac. All of the specs on it are listed here, except I've doubled the RAM.
This is the most stable computer I've ever owned. I got it when it first came out, and I have never had a single hardware problem with it. I've even brought it into my office to do all my photo crunching on when my PowerBook blew out.
This isn't a brand-new machine to run all the latest games on, but it's still extremely capable, particularly for media-related uses. It has a big, beautiful screen for photo-editing or DVD viewing, and has no problem editing 10 or 12-megapixel pictures in CS2 (yes, it's loaded with software). It has a SuperDrive, which burns both CDs and DVDs. It also comes with the latest edition Apple Pro Keyboard (I upgraded) and a two-button mouse, for those who like to right-click.
I'm selling it for $475 to anyone who can come and pick it up; $500+shipping if it goes through UPS. For another $25 I'll throw in the iSight, a quarter of its value.
Feel free to comment or e-mail with any questions or if you or someone you know are interested.
For the letter N in our daily challenge I have selected necklace, here processed in Topaz Simplify for a painterly effect.
This card was inspired by the card on page 39 of the new Hero Arts catalog. I liked the colors, the acylic block background technique, and the leaf cluster stamp, but didn't do much of the collage work from the inspiration piece. So very similar but a bit more simplified.
TFL!
Back to my lighthouse passion here! This is my favorite Washington Lighthouse and is located in West Seattle at Alki Point. This lighthouse marks the southern end of Elliot Bay which leads into the port of Seattle. The northern end of Elliot Bay is marked by the West Point Lighthouse. Off in the distance are some thunderheads forming over the Olympic Mountains.
I have been playing around with the new software I purchased for my desktop computer, so here is a single RAW file I tonemapped in Photomatix, cropped in Photoshop CS5, and then ran through the Topaz Simplify plug in. I like the painted effect that Topaz Simplify can create.
What do you think? Thank you for the views, comments and faves. Have a great week.
