There is sinister beauty in these vines that wrap themselves around trees. They are the slow, plant-world anacondas of our local woods. It takes years for them to do their wrapping. Some, like this one, slowly grow larger and larger in girth, as their roots out-compete those of the tree for water and nutrients. Also, their leaves reach to the canopy and compete for sun with those of the tree. This particular vine is well on its way to winning the struggle.

Leftover wrapping material from past Christmases when I had places to go and gifts to wrap and fundraisers would send it free to decorate the closet.

Sarah wrapping up the shoot with some sexy blue lacy panties and a white tank top in the bathroom. Sexy right?
I wrap all of the jewelry I make in funky silkscreened papers.
I decided that I'm going to try to take a photo of each one from now on, since each package is unique.
My last major objective of the trip was the morning shot at PT225. Yes, I've shot this signal bridge a million times, but its always been my favorite.
20K was the first of four trains I would see, after shooting him in Altoona and then hustling up here.
METX 125 still sports its wrap for the 2015 Operation North Pole train as it rests in the yard on New Years Eve at Elburn, Illinois. I wish all of you a happy new year and that 2016 is a great year for all of you!
Germany, Oberhausen, Gasometer, “Big Air Package”, Christo Vladimirov Javacheff, born in Bulgaria in 1935, he is just known as “Christo”. The artist generates in the accessible interior an exceptional experience of proportions, space & light with this monumental work of art, at present time it is the largest self-supporting indoor sculpture in the world. The project for the Gasometer was conceived in 2010 by Christo & is on view from March 16 to December 30, 2013.
The sculpture, which is installed inside the former gas tank, was made from 20,350 square mtr of semi-transparent polyester fabric & 4,500 mtr of rope. The inflated envelope is more than 90 meters high & 50 mtr in diameter. Its total weight is 5.3 tons & has a volume of 177,000 cubic mtr, nearly spans the distance from wall to wall of the Gasomter, leaving only a small passageway to walk around the sculpture. Two air fans creating a constant pressure of 0.27 millibar to keep the package upright, airlocks allow visitors to enter the package. Illuminated through the skylights of the Gasometer & 60 additional projectors, it creates a diffuse light throughout the interior. Inside of the Big Air Package one does not really realize the heights, outside of the balloon from the top, a 100 mtr & 10 floors high, the project shows its immense size.
Christo & Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon, born in Morocco, were a married couple who created numerous environmental works of art. Their works include among others the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin, the 39 km long Running Fence in California, The Gates in New York City's Central Park & the Pont-Neuf Bridge in Paris.
They artist couple first met in Paris in October 1958, their works were credited to just "Christo" until 1994, when the outdoor works & large indoor installations were retroactively credited to "Christo & Jeanne-Claude". They flew in separate planes: in case one crashed, the other could continue their work.

It’s been an amazing journey merging my two worlds of F.R.I.E.N.D.s through this project. I really feel like I’ve given so much of myself by sharing these portraits with all of you, my F.R.I.E.N.D. s from all over the world. I’m sure you know me a lot better now. I wanna thank each and everyone who took the time to view my work over this year...each and every comment was extremely appreciated. As you’ve learned, friendship is, for me, one of the greatest treasures we can have in this life, and I feel like a millionaire to have made so many wonderful F.R.I.E.N.D. s in here. Thank you all for the gift of your faithful friendship
I will now take a break from flickr, but I hope to find all of you again here, soon. When I come back , I’ll have many more things to share, and maybe a bit more of my F.R.I.E.N.D.s.
By the way, you can scan over the picture above to remember some chapters of this adventure!
As I had mentioned in the first upload, there was a little competition going on among my F.R.I.E.N.D. s to see whose portrait would do better. Well, you too can find out the results below. Interestingly, the three winners are exactly the three portraits that conceal the models’ identities...I wonder what that means!!!
What about you? Who is your favorite F.R.I.E.N.D. ?
See you all soon!

Impressive to see a spider wrapping a prey. Even more impressive to see it through a macro lens!
So fast and accurate!
