Bronze classical figure holds a "torch of knowledge" In the Great Hall of the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress in Washington DC. The ornately decorated Beaux Arts building was built in the 1890s.
This is a tiny bulb in one of several really small torches I use for photography lighting. I buy tiny torches of all shapes and colours, from a $2 store, and find them really useful (especially for macro work). This particular torch is pen shape and size. It has a tiny bulb at one end that shines white. Then there's another tiny bulb in the centre section that shines gold. The white light end of the torch is just like any other torch, however the other end is made of white plastic cut out to be a whistle (and it's loud). There's a tiny rubber button in the centre of the body that you press to turn on, first the white light, then press again and the centre gold light comes on, then press again and the centre gold light flashes. I'm assuming it was made to be a tiny hazard light that you carry in your pocket and, if you get lost or in danger, you can blow the whistle and set up the little flashing hazard light. It fits easily in your pocket and takes a AAA battery - clever little thing.

The Dragon Warrior model of a advanced engineered torch that creates a blade of Fire. The mobile variant offers great performance thats easy to master, requiring less energy from its own source and its user, making it very economical friendly. Its precision focus a perfect and sharp beam of only fire. Strong, Light and Fast. Reaching melting temperatures.
Compared to the Dragon Elder, Tahu's beastly class torch, burns hotter and requires more hard training to master and is incredibly more taxing.
Toa Hotaru
Kanohi: Aki Hau
Younger Brother: Flaris
Element: Blaze
Class: Elite Samurai
Abilities: advanced fire bending and shaping his flames into a katana
Hotaru & Flaris were two young brotherly matoran, starting as low level knights in training in hopes one day they would become Toa. Hotaru was the oldest and a bit more skilled, sharping his and flaris abilities. The two trained, fought and hunted together for years. While most Ta-matoran took work in making masks all day, the brothers were busy earning their place. Hotaru took lessons with the very few that wanted to challenge the makuta. Flaris invested his time into researching armor and weapons and caught up on lessons passed to him from his best friend. The matorans courage & hard work would pay off when the day came for them to begin their future as Toa. Hotaru was the first to evolve into one and quickly joined a team, he said his good byes and took off. Flaris would also evolve into knighthood in the near future

Bournemouth after dark...too blowy to use the tripod, so hand held night shots (with ISO on 3200).
Very windy but luckily we have missed the worse of Storm Desmond, unlike some parts of the north of the UK

Torch War or also called torch-torches, is one of the traditional ceremonies held by the people of Jepara Regency, especially Tegalsambi Village, Tahunan District, Jepara Regency.
The Torch War is routinely held every Pahing Monday, Pon Tuesday night in the month of Dzulhijjah in the Javanese or Arabic calendar
The torch for this traditional ceremony is made from dried coconut fronds and the inside is filled with dried banana leaves. then lit together to be used as a tool to attack each other so that there are frequent clashes of torches which can result in large flames of fire, which gave rise to the name "Torch War"

You can see more pics from this show, here:
I got the easy job on this one.... I'll just stand still then and turn these torches off after 10 seconds. You run around like a madman with wool lights, other lights and a flash.
(taken on one exposure, no additions after the exposure. I will adjust levels, saturation, white balance, brightness and some minor cropping if required.)
WEEK 1 – Amoco Returns!
In this pic we’re taking a close-up look at the top of one of the fuel pumps, which like the canopy now proudly bear the updated torch and oval Amoco logo. I think the new Amoco design in general, and this former Shell station’s conversion in particular, turned out pretty well, especially the canopy (even if the design doesn’t extend all the way around the entire property: see the second image in Thursday’s set).
As you can see above, this station has a bit of a weird layout, with two double-sided pumps on either side of the convenience store placed in the middle: would anyone happen to have any idea concerning the origins of this station? (cont.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
This photo is shot with the torch as the only light source. No PS edit in this one (except Size and name tag), what you see is what the camera caught RAW. A difficult shot as the fire melted through the lego torch handle which left a photo window of only 10 seconds. After that... I had to save Bilbo from 3rd degree burns.
P.s. Bilbo came out unscathed from this shoot.... though his facial expression will later be that of pure anger, for putting him in the danger zone. He's demanded a vacation which I had to go along with:)
Just started getting my camera out again thanks to a friend at work who wanted me take a picture of his wife who was a torch bearer for the 2012 olympics.
This is Sue who ran the streets of eastbourne with her torch as part of the 2012 torch route across the UK.
This is the first time I have taken pictures of someone other than my immediate family so I was a little nervous but sue was great fun and relaxed, Sue loved the spotlight with everyone asking to have their picture taken next to her and the torch.
I took some pictures in the underground walkway that leads from Princes park to the Sovereign swimming pool as I thought this would act as a nice frame.
I had a Nikon sb600 to my camera left on a light stand with a white umbrella and set to 1/2 power and 70mm.
I placed a Jessops 360 AFD behind sue on a light stand and with a yellow gel, this was to create a golden rim light around her hair to add to the olympic theme with the golden torch and writing on her clothing, this flashgun was set at 1/2 power.
Loads of people was walking past and watching so once again I was nervous and dying to come away with some good shots.
After the walkway we headed on to the beach to get some more pictures.
Sue and Steve gave me their blessing to use the shots so thanks guys for giving me the opportunity to take these and use them as well, hope you like them.

Delicate Arch is a 65-foot (20 m) tall freestanding natural arch located in Arches National Park near Moab, Utah.
It is the most widely-recognized landmark in Arches National Park and is depicted on Utah license plates and on a postage stamp commemorating Utah's centennial anniversary of statehood in 1996. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics passed through the arch.
“Byartho praner aborjona puriyey fele
Agun jwalo, agun jwalo
Ekela raater ondhokar-ay
aami chai pother alo
Agun jwalo, agun jwalo”
~ Rabindranath Thakur , my towering hero.
There are things in me that prevent me from being myself. There are my horrendous failures, lofty ambitions and the utterly misplaced belief in my abilities. If there was one thing I could do to these litters of my soul… I would burn them all. I would burn the darkness within that often extends to my surroundings and dims my senses. I would light up all my failures and make enough light to keep me warm through another cold night. I would ignite all my ambitions to make myself a well-lit hermit’s hut. Most of all, I would burn the burning desire to be somebody I am not and never will be. Then may be… I will be me.
Audaciously, here are the ever meaningful words of the great poet translated to the best of my ability:
“To burn the litter of the failed soul
Torch the flame, torch the flame
In the melancholic darkness of the night
I want light for my path
Torch the flame, torch the flame... ”
