This cast of El Pensador (Le Penseur, The Thinker), the third of 22 sculptures from the original mould, by Auguste Rodin was commissioned in 1907 by Museums Director Eduardo Schiaffino for the city of Buenos Aires and placed on a plinth in Plaza Mariano Moreno.
Rodin's most famous work, originally named The Poet, was modeled in 1880-1882, as part of a commission by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, to create a monumental portal to act as the door of the museum. The Gates of Hell was based on Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) of Dante Alighieri, with each statue representing one of the main characters. The Thinker was originally meant to depict Dante in front of the Gates of Hell, pondering his poem. In the final sculpture, a miniature sits atop the tympanon, pondering the hellish fate of those beneath him. The Thinker was exhibited in its original size (71.5cm) in Copenhagen in 1888. Rodin enlarged the figure in a monumental bronze cast (1.84m high) in 1902, which he exhibited at the Spring Salon of 1904. The Thinker became property of the City of Paris, thanks to a subscription organized by Gabriel Mouret, the editor of Les Arts de la vie and on April 21 1906 was the first work by Rodin to be erected in public, when it was installed in front of the Panthéon.
Plaza Mariano Moreno is part of a three hectare open space comprising three adjoining plaza at the western end of Avenida de Mayo to the east of Palacio del Congreso de la Nación Argentina. The plaza is named after Mariano Moreno, an Argentine laywer, journalist and politician who was one of the intellectual leaders of la Revolución de Mayo and played a decisive role in Primera Junta, the first national government of Argentina.
Awww yeeah, it's that time of year again. The week when High Park is over run with cameras, tripods and the beauty that is Cherry Blossom Row. Saturday morning was spent jostling the crowds for the perfect spot to take it all in.

Dutch:
Roek,
De roek is vrijwel even groot als de zwarte kraai, ongeveer 46 cm lang.
Het verenkleed is zwart met een blauwige metaalglans.
De snavel is ook zwart, iets naar beneden gebogen en wat slanker dan die van de zwarte kraai. Als het dier wat ouder is, wordt de snavelbasis kaal en de onderliggende grijze huid zichtbaar. Het bovendeel van de poten is, anders dan bij zwarte kraaien, met wat veren bekleed. Deze 'broek' maakt ook jonge roeken (jonger dan acht maanden), die nog geen lichte snavelbasis hebben, in het veld herkenbaar. De beide geslachten zijn gelijk gevederd en even groot. Het vliegbeeld van de roek is van dat van de zwarte kraai te onderscheiden door een iets langere en dieper ingesneden vleugelhand; de vlucht maakt een wat gerieflijker indruk, de vleugelslag is wat sneller. De roek kan luidruchtig zijn en heeft een groot aantal geluiden tot zijn beschikking, die deels sterk met die van de zwarte kraai overeenkomen.
Levenswijze
Roeken leven in kolonies, in nesten die dicht bij elkaar in een aantal boomtoppen worden gebouwd; deze kolonies kunnen zeer groot worden.
Verspreiding
De roek komt voor van Ierland in het westen tot de Altaisteppen in het oosten, en van Noord-Spanje tot in Denemarken en Zuid-Zweden en ook nog tot de westkust van Finland. In Nieuw-Zeeland is de vogel door de mens ingevoerd en wordt daar nu krachtig bestreden.
Biotoop
Het leefgebied van de roek is open akker- en weideland, afgewisseld met bomen, bosjes, boomrijen en heggen. De vogel gedijt goed in menselijk cultuurland als hij niet wordt bejaagd. Vooral de aanwezigheid van akkers is gunstig. Ze worden niet afgeschrikt door de nabijheid van mensen. Mensen kunnen echter wel last hebben van een grote luidruchtige roekenkolonie vlak in de buurt, met vaak ook poepoverlast op wegen en auto's. In sommige grote steden zijn zeer grote overwinteringsplaatsen (bijvoorbeeld in Wenen, circa 250.000 exemplaren). Dergelijke verstedelijkte populaties passen hun gedrag aan, en foerageren meer op straat waarbij ze veel minder schuw kunnen worden, met een vluchtafstand van een paar meter. Roeken zijn erg trouw aan hun standplaats.
Voedsel
Roeken zijn net als andere kraaiensoorten flexibele eters. Ze prefereren dierlijk voedsel (regenwormen, slakken, insecten, vooral ritnaalden (de larven van kniptorren)) maar plantaardige kost maakt ongeveer 3/5 van hun dieet uit. Ook een muisje wordt niet versmaad. De plantaardige voeding bestaat vooral uit allerlei zaden. Ook worden wel noten en eikels gegeten, naast vruchten zoals kersen en pruimen. De jongen worden voornamelijk met dierlijk materiaal gevoerd. Bron Wikipedia

M.H. ADAMS, CHAPELTOWN. T/A MARTINS COACHES.
Purchased for a School contract in 2000 (I think) was GNF 6V, a Leyland Titan TNLXB1RF with Park Royal body.
It had been new to Greater Manchester PTE in 1979.
It did not last long with Martins.
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down
--- One Last Breath by Creed
This is haaarrdcore inspired by the amazing Rosie!
I hate the quality on this shot but...whatever.
The song has a point...
I'm sick of this life.
I need to escape on that road to nowhere.
I need a change.
And I hate this snow!
Ugh.
On a good note:
it's my birthday tomorrow :]

From treesforlife.org:
Think of any fairy tale illustration of elves or goblins sitting on or under a toadstool, and most likely the cap of such a fungus will be bright red with white spots. The autumnal abundance and vibrant colours of the fly agaric mushroom make it probably the most widely recognised of our fungi. As the name suggests it was formerly used as an insecticide, with pieces often floated in milk, to intoxicate and kill flies attracted by its aroma. Similarly most people will be wary of its poisonous reputation (though fatal reactions are rare), and appreciation of this mushroom will mostly be limited to the aesthetic. It has been suggested that northern Europeans' wariness of mushrooms may stem from long-established taboos relating to the use of mushrooms containing mind expanding substances. These would originally have been reserved for those shamans or priests who served as intermediaries between the common folk and the unseen worlds of spirit.
The fly agaric may have been the earliest source of entheogens, that is hallucinogenic substances used for religious or shamanic purposes, the use of which date back possibly over 10,000 years. Fly agaric has been put forward as the most likely candidate for the mysterious Soma, mentioned in around 150 hymns of the Hindu Rig-Veda, which was written between 1500 - 500 BC by Aryans in the Indus valley. Soma was a moon god, as well as a related plant and a holy brew which were also worshipped. Though there have been many suggestions as to the identity of the plant, fly agaric fits many of the Vedic references as a substance with which to contact the gods.
Fly agaric contains two toxins, ibotenic acid and muscimol, which are responsible for its psychoactive and hallucinogenic effects. To minimise its toxic side effects fly agaric would be processed in some way eg. dried, made into a drink, smoked or made into ointments. Care in its preparation and ritual were paramount. The Celtic Druids, for example, purified themselves by fasting and meditating for three days, drinking only water. Amongst the Koryak people of north-eastern Siberia the ceremonial use of fly agaric involved the shaman ingesting the mushroom, after which others would drink his urine to partake of its entheogenic effects. Though this sounds distinctly unpleasant to modern ears, if the shaman had been fasting, the urine would have been mainly water containing the hallucinogenic compounds. The body absorbs the fly agaric's hallucinogens first, and then expels the toxins from the stomach. The hallucinogenic chemicals then exert their influence on the body and are expelled unaltered in the urine. Reindeer in northern Europe are also attracted to the fly agaric's euphoric effects and Siberian people would notice the drunken behaviour of such animals and slaughter them to get the same effects from eating the meat.
Modern research has also shown that the two active ingredients' effect on the brain can inhibit fear and the startle reflex. This would corroborate theories that the ferocious Viking Berserker warriors used fly agaric prior to going into battle, bringing on the uncontrolled rage and fearlessness for which they were renowned.
Fly agaric has been a popular icon for the Midwinter and Christmas festivities in central Europe for a long time and is found on Christmas cards and as replica decorations for tree and wreath. Our current concept of Santa Claus can be traced back as an amalgamation of several characters of popular European folklore, such as a more pagan Scandinavian house goblin who offered protection from malevolent spirits in return for a feast at midwinter, and the fourth century Byzantine archbishop who became St Nicolas and was renowned for his kindness to children. More recently it has been suggested that the Siberian use of fly agaric may have played a part in the development of the legend of Santa Claus too. At midwinter festivals the shaman would enter the yurt through the smoke hole and down the central supporting birch pole, bringing with him a bag of dried fly agaric. After conducting his ceremonies he would leave the same way he had come. Ordinary people would have believed the shaman could fly himself, or with the aid of reindeer which they also knew to have a taste for fly agaric. Santa is now dressed in the same colours as the fly agaric, carries a sack with special gifts, comes and goes via the chimney, can fly with reindeer and lives in the 'Far North'.
THINK TANK UMBRIA 2010
Todi
Palazzo del Vignola
25 - 26 Novembre 2K10
Think Tanks (o serbatoi di pensiero) sono dei seminari interattivi che hanno l’obiettivo di individuare eventi non ancora venuti in essere e definire scenari futuri.
La premessa di base di una Think Tank e’ quella di individuare gli eventi (o forze) futuri che avranno un impatto profondo su destinazioni turistiche ed organizzazioni che offrono servizi ai turisti.
Nel Think Tank Umbria 2010, gli obiettivi da raggiungere sono quattro:
a.Identificazione delle forze che influenzeranno il settore turismo
b.Stimare l’impatto ed il timing delle forze al punto a.
c.Creare metodi competitivi che si basino esclusivamente sull’analisi dei punti a. e b.
d.Individuare le nuove competenze di base che saranno necessarie per sviluppare i metodi competitivi di cui al punto c.
Al fine di raggiungere gli obiettivi di cui sopra, i partecipanti sono stati selezionati non solamente in qualita’ di rappresentanti del settore ma anche e soprattutto di altri settori ed organizzazioni che influenzano l’esperienza del viaggiatore e di coloro che provvedono a fornire i servizi al viaggiatore.
Ad esempio, esperti in tecnologia, sicurezza, trasporti, protezione ambientale, giornalisti ed altri.
I partecipanti sono stati selezionati in quanto protagonisti nel loro settore di competenza e riconosciuti come tali da colleghi e/o dai media.
L’analisi riguarda l’individuazione delle forze piu’ impattanti provenienti dai seguenti settori di riferimento:
ecologico
economico-politico
socio-culturale
tecnologico
I partecipanti alla sessione plenaria sono stati distribuiti ai vari tavoli per lavorare nella sessione di gruppo sul primo settore di riferimento, quello ecologico.
Al termine del tempo allocato per i lavori di gruppo, si è tornati in sessione plenaria per ascoltare le brevi presentazioni dei risultati ottenuti dai rappresentanti di gruppo.
Al termine dell’ultima presentazione si è proceduto al voto dei risultati.
Alla ripresa dei lavori dopo il break, il Prof. Sandro Formica ha presentato i risultati delle ultime votazioni ed ha invitato i partecipanti a lavorare di nuovo nella sessione di gruppo per discutere gli altri settori di riferimento, seguendo la medesima procedura di cui sopra.
Ogni qualvolta i partecipanti si sono riuniti per iniziare il lavoro di gruppo, hanno cambiato tavolo, interagendo con partecipanti nuovi.
Inoltre, partecipanti rappresentanti uno o due settori o competenze non sono stati posizionati nello stesso tavolo.
Quest’aspetto specifico della metodologia e’ particolarmente importante per stimolare le idee, la creativita’ e l’interattivita’ tra i partecipanti.
Gli obiettivi della seconda giornata sono quelli riportati ai punti c. e d. (vedi sopra).
A parte qualche dettaglio, il format della seconda giornata e’ identico a quello del giorno precedente.
Al termine dell’evento c'è stata una sessione conclusiva durante la quale i partecipanti sono stati in grado di verificare l’allineamento tra:
(a) le forze future che guideranno il cambiamento
(b) i metodi competitivi sviluppati
(c) le nuove competenze di base.

Photo session with K9 Search and Rescue NI
They are a charity who provide dog search teams to find lost/missing persons and to recover dead bodies. The are completely volunteer staffed.
They had a training/assessment day at Sunflower Cottage on Friday so I took some pictures of them.
A great charity and so well organised.
i think i have a problem , i think i think too much.---
not the best pic but i still like it.
and its different from what i do.
i was just experimenting with the light at the hotel and a friend snap this.
its 2:50 am. and i have school tomorrow. i dont know what im thinking!
i'll go to bed :)
WHAT TO TAKE
With 3 days to go until I leave for Lake Mungo I am starting to think about what to take.
This was a pic I took on a past journey. When I am a loaded and successful photographer sponsored by Toyota (hint hint) i might have a nice new shiny 4WD with roof racks and all sorts of flash sleeping gear. But for now I have to make do with the trusty golf (I love this car) to take me and my stuff.
One of the things about heading into the remote locations I do, is that accomodation is often miles from where I am. And of course we are shooting all night, so sleep occurs for a few hours in the morning (more on this later).
So I sleep in the Golf, I carry all of my gear, food and clothes in the Golf. I love this car. But it does mean I have to think about what I take. I have a lot of gear this trip. I have some new timelapse rigs, camera dollys, and will need to take lots of warm stuff as it will be FREEZING up at the lake.
I will be showing all of the gear I am taking in detail in a post. But I am starting to think about it tonight.
I am off to my studio in about an hour to see what I need, and will be bringing it home to sort.
Tonight I am also looking closely at the weather as it starts to get pretty accurate this close.
I am also considering leaving a day earlier than original, as I got some exciting news today about lake mungo that I will share later.
YEAH! I love the Ball of Light.

Think this was meant to be part of an old bridge but i don't know the whole story, i like this one but i am not sure how to say why i do, i suppose it is the light shining on the wood and pipe. This is under another, newer bridge hence the title.
