I think what makes this Monastery is the people. The gent next to me, in the video, is of the Anglican Faith, well schooled in religious history. He had been coming here for around 20 years. I asked him why hadn't he converted to Russian Orthodox, the Abbot thought this highly amusing. He was about to head off and cut firewood with the monks. He had been friends with the Abbot since first coming here. The night before, the Abbot invited me to chat with him and his friend. The Abbot is a highly intelligent person, with diverse interests. Father "G", the candle maker monk, is too, I think. We shared coffee and chatted, along with his "biological" father, later in the morning. This Monastery is engaged with the community, servicing the people of the Eden/Monaro and Canberra. At Easter 6 monks looked after around 230 people. The monks have a disciplined life, eating two meals a day and working long days, yet they clearly enjoy life and laugh easily.

If you think this is the countryside of Tuscany, France, think again. These are farmlands on the hills of Central Cebu.

I think the toy was a bit afraid of Drago lol

 

Whenever we go to this place Drago always seems to find something... He's found toys.. dog boots... Harnesses... Gloves... And of course balls .... He comes running like a mad man with whatever he found in his mouth and brings it to me all happy and proud so I can toss it for him.... To him everything can be made into a toy!

If there's no dogs to play with and mom forgot to bring a ball or frisbee(which never happens)... Then he will find a stick or rock or whatever else so he can fetch

Rodin's "The Thinker" (Le Penseur) in front of Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. This is one of several "originals", bought in the artist's lifetime.

Expo LEM "La cité perdue" au Palais Rameau à Lille

Tuesday November 9th 2010

 

Its been a stressful last week or so and i feel that it is taking a toll on my photographic creativity. Tonight i shot two completely different sets of self portraits and disliked them both, because i feel that they had little thought put into them. So i went to play piano for a while. I am so glad my school has a piano open for anyone to play. barely anyone plays it and is in a spot whee there usually is not many people. its a spot i like to go and think. Im not much of a piano player but it is quite relaxing for me, i can clear my head and think again, worry free. So i decided id photograph this spot. and i am glad did, this image is much better than any of the other ones i took today. I am no longer frustrated or upset about my lack of creativity and ideas after playing for a while. today was good.

... we took Minnie with us today. But, the weather just sucked...rain on top of rain!

We're all bummed. A deep, thoughtful girl, she has the sweetest face, I love

her little pixie nose...visiting Jillybug Manor...this is a custom by pariszhenpink!

I think he told me to take a picture too. He's a character. He's the guy that taught me how to drink alcohol in the morning and that the proper way to celebrate St Patrick's day was to be shit faced all day in public.

Ai! Há tantos pensamentos que não dão mais resultado que um fole: ao inchar, aumentam o vazio.

Abstract Work

This may be the strangest thing you see all day.

 

Ask yourself, how many times a day to you see something and

a.) ignore its importance.

b.) miss its private beauty

c.) misinterpret its message

d.) dismiss it as irrelevant

and ultimately avoid thinking about it any more.

 

Or perhaps you photograph it and think about it. You think: It's partly out of focus. Does that matter? Is anything in perfect focus?

 

Okay, it's just a bit of trash. Are we all Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout?

DSCN2583, Image # I think. I lost it in the process of trying to fix this picture up. I am lost tonight, I guess. I wanted to crop it a tiny bit, which I did. I wanted to add a note on left side, that it is a Lightling that resembles a vertical Tuxedo Cat with a red backpack, On the lower right is a Lightling of only Santa Claus face, red & white Santa hat and big white beard, His right hand is in motion a bit with a red mitten on. His left hand doesn't show in this image, nor does his body.

 

I wanted to remove at least two tiny blemishes, maybe more, and could not figure out how to work my newest program.

 

I have some new programs and controls and I don't really know how to run/work them. I spent over an hour and 15 minutes on this, and almost gave up completely. I'm thinking perhaps I should have. Arrgh! Delina

The mecca of technology, I am sure the likes of davecparty, djpoe, jamief, James Yeung, marianNYC, - Loomax -, Barry Yanowitz and CANEOS7E to name a few of my NYC flickr friends can tell me where this is? Love the pads of the feet hence the title.

 

Tumbling down the rabbit hole? Just do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

 

What is reality and what is a dream, it all merges into one!

I watched a free Shakespeare in the Park play in Central Park, Louisville. Fun!

 

One of my favorite quotes is Brutus opining on the rise of Rome's dictator, Julius Caesar:

 

"He would be crowned:

How that might change his nature,

there's the question.

 

It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, [...]

And therefore think him as a serpent's egg

Which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous"

—from William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar

 

Ah, I see. It is also Shakespeare, not just the Roman Senate, who struggled with the nature of power. The powers of a dictator make a good man a snake, poisonous to Rome. Power and the structures of power changes a man. It corrupts. So how can checks and balances be designed to curtail the natural desire of the chief executive to dictate all things?

 

Shakespeare's Britain was painfully, slooowly evolving an answer to that question. There were Britain's civil wars. Almost two centuries later, it was the young upstart Americans who would provide a good answer, thanks to the abuses and inadequacies of their colonial rulers, Britain's government.

From left to right,

Think!

Eureka!

Yes!

I think Izzi's schtick is to pick the biggest guy - in the entertainment industry, this person is known as a "mark" - she can find (preferably wearing a kilt) and claim her as her "boyfriend" (regardless if the guy is with his girlfriend, fiancée, or wife).

 

In this case, the "mark" was actually named Mark and I think he stood about 6'8". I honestly don't think she expected him to stand up while she was sitting on his shoulders (under her dress). She had some great quips about the vibrations she got when he verbally agreed to questions ("Uh-huh") and laughter. She could really change the pitch and tone of her voice. Normal-speaking voice for when in character was quite high and very little girlish with a standard RenFaire accent (southern England) but she could bring it down an octave or two for saying things in an American accent like, "Oh... yeah... that's good!" especially when Mark spoke (he was a bass or a baritone). And he was a charcter. Izzi did say to Mark, "Don't try to be funnier than me." during the show.

 

I nearly laughed myself sick and am totally impressed with myself that I took some really good photos during and in-between my fits of laughter.

I was reading this article "Why Wordle" By Steven W. Anderson this morning and decided to try one out. I thought the "Think Different" monologue from the classic Apple commercial might be a nice choice. View large.

 

You can see my photo of the wall mural of the monologue at the Apple Campus here.

Apple's "Think Different" monologue.

 

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who actually do."

I can't think why I ended up with a Cub on this duty. The Wroot services were an occasional extension of the regular 191 service, and usually a decker was rostered onto the duty since it was out all day on our core route.

 

New as WYPTE 1811, one of three acquired after Yorkshire Rider had a clear-out of oddball and expensive vehicles. This one still survives, with Altona Travel. Somebody should save it for preservation as a reminder of how high Optare's floors were before they dreamt up the Solo!

 

There wasn't sufficient space between the steering column and the engine cover to get your left foot in, but it was almost possible to be comfortable with your left leg laid along the top of the engine cover. This had the beneift of roasting your calf muscle while the Allison transmission whooped and gurgled underneath you. Fortunately the driver's signalling window was massive so you could just about get enough air not to die in the summer.
