The standout display at the Cultural Centre is of Lapita pottery. This pottery was made by the so-called Lapita people, great seafarers who, spreading out from East Asia 3000 to 4000 years ago, colonized the islands of Oceania, including Vanuatu, and were the ancestors of today's Melanesians and Polynesians.
The shape of Lapita pottery is complex and is recognized by intricate and abstract designs, which were indented with sharp comb-like tools. In Vanuatu, Lapita pottery has been found on a number of islands, including Efate, at a site near Port Vila.
Very happy with how they turned out. Spent a little time today checking them all out before taking them over to the client's house. I thought the finishing was all pretty high quality except for a couple of small trimming problems with the 24x36 you see in the upper left. They should be nice since they aren't really cheap...
Taken at the Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary, Mysore.
As a photographer, one place you would feel humbled is a bird sanctuary.... for not only is bird photography insanely difficult unless you have a really fast lens with good zoom but also you will see that most of the times your compositions go for a toss. Add to it the pain of focusing on a rapidly moving object ... not my cup of tea :)
Considering I am too lazy to remember / identify the bird, anyone care to name the species?

These standout Hummers visit us only in late summer, arriving around the beginning of July. Other more northern breeding Hummers also pass through NM. The Calliope is regular, but not common at lower altitudes (We're at 8600 ft. msl.). I have rarely spotted them up here this high.

Barrett Jones, offensive lineman for the University of Alabama, doesn't make the typical decisions of a 21-year-old star football player. He postponed his opportunity to play in the NFL to stay for his senior year and play alongside his brother, Harrison. Also, he has spent his last three spring breaks on mission trips to serve others, instead of being served. (BP) PHOTO

I drove past these pots for years. They belonged to a nursery. Then one day the hothouses were struck down, nursery ploughed over and pots loaded up and taken away. Not sure if the nursery sold up to a farm or they just found strawberry business to be more lucrative. I'm glad though that one day I got out of the car and took some shots of the patterns made by the thousands of stacked pots.
Piedra River Trail, Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Snow had fallen a week earlier, melt and refilled the languishing river. Indeed, the Southwest US is back in severe drought (as if we'd really left it).
Standouts for me were both Goose Island beers, The Nightstalker and Imperial Coffee Stout. The Nightstalker is their imperial stout before it's aged in bourbon barrels resulting in their infamous Bourbon County Brand Stout.

Handheld outside on Tilghman Island, Maryland on a rainy and windy day as Tropical Storm Andrea dumped five inches of rain on the area. Focusing on the bloom made the emerging buds behind it look like tiny planets floating in a galaxy of black.
I like the simple metallic, graphic details on so many of these old airplanes in the hangar but not much rust here! We were ahead of even the NY Times on this one! www.nytimes.com/2009/07/10/arts/10explorer.html?emc=eta1
