Painted in 1951, Magritte originally called this painting "The Rock". It shows a stone on a monochromatic background and calls attention to the fact that weight is not a visible property. With no other imagery to provide a sense of scale, the subject could be a pebble or a monolith. A certain uncanniness accompanies the silent stone, particularly under the title 'The Active Voice' (La voix active). The artist’s choice of title here may be an ironic play on the pervasive sense of silence in this painting.
Rene Francois Ghislain Magritte (1898-1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well known for creating a number of witty and thought-provoking images. Often depicting ordinary objects in an unusual context, his work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality. His imagery has influenced pop, minimalist and conceptual art.
This Magritte original was seen and photographed at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).

Richard T. "Dick" Sykes, WW II fighter pilot and air racing enthusiast who was an active defense attorney for more than 50 years died peacefully in his Toluca Lake home on August 2 following a farewell performance by the swingtown band he produced. His great passions were aviation, law, music and family. He was 84 years old. Growing up in Beverly Hills in the 1940s, Sykes was passionate about airplanes and aviation. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and began his training as a fighter pilot. He flew P-38 fighter planes in 50 combat missions over Europe from June to December 1944. On his final mission he was shot down over German-controlled territory and declared MIA. With the help of Hungarian farmers he was able to evade capture and eventually was safely reunited with US forces. In 1965, Sykes and a fellow WWII fighter pilot founded the Condor Squadron, a non-profit public service organization based at the Van Nuys Airport. The Condor Squadron assisted in numerous search and rescue efforts to locate downed aircraft in Central and Southern California. Under Sykes's leadership, the group grew to over a dozen WWII era aircraft and performed mock air battles at air shows, Memorial Day flyovers and held other public and private aviation related activities. Sykes was also an avid air racer in the 1970's and 1980's and regularly raced in the AT-6 class at the National Air Races in Reno, Nevada. His racing career included a national championship in 1983. He also ended one race with an emergency landing caused by a collision with an eagle. In spite of the damage to the aircraft, he was able to land safely. For over 50 years Sykes, who received his law degree from George Washington University School of Law, maintained a law practice in the San Fernando Valley specializing in criminal defense. He was a noted and very active trial attorney and appeared with regularity in LA County and other courtrooms throughout Southern California. During the last 10 years, Sykes culminated his lifelong passion for music of the 40's and 50's by forming a 14-piece band. Under Sykes, the "14 Gentlemen from Swingtown" produced 2 CDs and held several concerts playing big band swing music. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, JoAnn; children Edmund, Jeannie, Carol, Gene, Richard, John, Barbara and Mary; sixteen grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Donations in memory of Sykes can be sent to the Condor Squadron at 7800 Havenhurst Ave., Van Nuys, CA 91406 and to Kids International Foundation, 725 N. Avon St., Burbank, CA 91505. Memorial services will be held on Thursday, August 7, at 11:00 a.m., at Valhalla Memorial Park, 10621 Victory Blvd. in North Hollywood. A reception will follow at the Sykes family home in Toluca Lake.

This pocket-sized Flemish Book of Hours was likely created in Bruges ca. 1500. It contains illuminations produced by the Ghent-Bruges school stylistically associated with the Master of the Prayerbooks, who was active at that time. The manuscript still retains the original binding signed by Ludovicus Bloc, a binder documented in Bruges ca. 1484-1529. The miniatures can be compared with those in W.176 in the Walters' collection, as well as with those in a manuscript also bound by Ludovicus Bloc in the Detroit Institute of Arts (Acc. no. 63.146). The overall image cycle is closely related to that of W.427, another Flemish Book of Hours preserved at the Walters Art Museum.

Publisher: Braun Postcard Co.. Cleveland, Ohio | C.T. American Art Colored by Curt Teich Co., Chicago, Illinois
Publisher/Distributor Notes:
The Braun Postcard Co. published regional view-cards of the Cleveland area in tinted halftones from 1910-1924.

Curt Teich emigrated to Chicago in 1895. He had worked as a lithographer in Lobenstein, Germany.
He founded the Curt Teich Company in 1898, concentrating on newspaper and magazine printing. He was an early publisher of postcards, but he didn't begin printing them himself until 1908.
According to MetroPostcard.com, "As his competition dwindled, his sales expanded and his American factories would eventually turn out more postcards than any other in the United States."
The company was best known for its wide range of advertising and postcards of North America. By the 1920s, it was producing so many postcards with borders that they became recognized as a type dubbed "White Border Cards," creating an "era."
Curt Teich started using offset presses in 1907, but it took a number of years before he had offset presses made to his satisfaction and many more years for him to perfect the method.
His innovations in this printing technique directly led to the production of what we now call "linens" by the early 1930s.
The company aided the war effort during the second world war by also printing many military maps.
Curt Teich eventually turned management of the company over to his son, but he remained active in company operations throughout its history.
Curt Teich died in 1974 and the family business was sold to Regensteiner Publishers who continued to print postcards at the Chicago plant until 1978 when the rights to the company name and processes were sold to the Irish company, John Hinde Ltd. Their California subsidiary now prints postcards under the name John Hinde Curteich, Inc.

Active Assignment for the week of 23rd--30th Nov.: It is not what you think
So many times we want to make clear to our viewers our image.
Does that mean if people don't know what your image is of , it is not a good image? How about if you don't follow all the "rules" of photography?? How about if you just show a part of something??
Of course not, you can still have a good image.....................so show the ordinary in the UN-ordinary way, so it becomes un-recognizable yet interesting. Your image should make people say "HUH??"
Your image can be of anything or include anything. Scenery ,..abstract, close up, portrait etc......................really anything..........be creative!!!
Restrictions..............try not to fabricate any effects in post processing, besides color and crop.
WIT: Some tape, a widow, and a flashlight. In post I cropped and added a slight orange filter.

Active Assignment Weekly - Surrealism.
Wow - this is a tough assignment as I can't do double exposure with my camera, and I don't have Photoshop or any such fancy thing. So, I have played about with what I have.
WIT:
I took some shots of my hand in front of the TV screen during whatever happened to be on - it was a movie of some sort. I had to go with what came up. Then, in PP I used the Polar Co-ordinates application.

High and Dry, Smoke and Fog is inspired by cars… the joy, the freedom, the mechanics, the dependence, the status symbol, the technology, the social responsibility, the sex appeal, the pollution, the speed, the danger, the commute, the traffic, the exhilarating road trip, the urban sprawl and the transportation conundrum. The artwork in this exhibition addresses the paradox of these topics; some works evoke it directly, some abstrusely. The work also illustrates the general human desire for movement and exploration, and how mankind’s pioneering, adventurous spirit has come to manifest itself today in our motor transportation. Particularly in Los Angeles – the American metropolis supreme – whose complicated relationship with cars, traffic and transportation is both fascinating and poignant. L.A. is the only major city that was entirely shaped by the automobile. In 1964, Marshall McLuhan said, “The car has become an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete.” Currently, Los Angeles County is in the top ten dirtiest counties in the U.S. for air pollution.
Phantom Galleries LA is a Los Angeles County-based organization that transforms unoccupied storefronts and spaces into temporary art galleries. Exhibits are curated by local arts organizations, Los Angeles-based galleries, independent curators, and Los Angeles-based artists. The project gives artists an opportunity to exhibit their work, while promoting the creative community to a broader audience and keeping the area looking vital and culturally exciting. The spaces are lit and on view 24 hours a day.
High and Dry, Smoke and Fog is open by appointment, as well as the following Saturdays – June 16, June 23 and June 30 – from 11 am to 6 pm, and Sunday, June 17, 2007 in conjunction with the Rodeo Drive Concours D’Elegance, celebrating the art of California car culture.

Active Assignment Weekly: Break the Rules
First I used dead/wilting flowers, and underexposed them. I also tried to break the rules of composition by placing the "heaviest" object at the top of the frame, making it look upside-down (it isn't). Hardest of all for me, this is straight out of the camera, no cropping or anything. Used a low power speedlight camera left, snooted to prevent spill.
Unfortunately, the big, intact rose is right at the junction of thirds lines. Apparently, I can't break that many rules.

At 8:03PM on October 30, 2020 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 917 S San Julian Street in Downtown LA. The first arriving fire companies saw heavy smoke coming from the back of a commercial building. They located an outside fire and worked to quickly extinguish it. Despite their efforts, the fire had already extended into the adjacent one story commercial building.
Firefighters forced entry into the 10,832 square foot building (housing three businesses) and initiated an interior fire attack. They continued to work their way into the building while visibility dropped, yet the seat of the fire remained out of reach. Truck companies, on the roof of the building, conducted vertical ventilation, resulting in both fire and pressurized smoke emanating from the holes. It was determined the fire was above the interior crews, likely on a mezzanine which was inaccessible to them. The deteriorating conditions created an untenable position and the incident commander, Assistant Chief Dean Zipperman, made the decision to transition to a defensive operation.
With all firefighters out of the building and off the roof, company officers conducted an accountability report to ensure all were safe and present while preparing for master streams. Over the next 90 minutes, crews applied copious amounts of water from ladder pipes and large diameter hand lines to drown out the blaze. Pockets of fire remained out of reach due to the style of construction and once the conditions improved enough, firefighters returned to an offensive mode. An official ‘knockdown’ was declared two hours and nine minutes into the incident. Firefighters defended a second building, exposed to the fire, from any damage.
One firefighter was transported with a heat-related illness and returned to full duty a short while later. LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section (ACTS) responded and are actively investigating the cause of the fire, following protocol for an incident of this size.

An "Active Travel" fingerpost. The Town Centre "finger" is directing you due north up a steep slope covered with brambles and trees, on into the dense Church Wood. Were you to slavishly follow this sign like a trucker and his satnav, you would be heading in the direction of Pontypool. The town centre is actually straight on down Maendy Way, to the south east.
"Active Travel" finger posts are now sprouting up in Torfaen. The Welsh Government introduced the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 which makes it a legal requirement for local authorities in Wales to map and plan for suitable routes for active travel within certain settlements in the county borough as specified by the Welsh Government. This is Torfaen County Borough Council's compliance with the act. The routes are designed for walkers and cyclists to carry out everyday short-distance journeys, such as journeys to school, work, or for access to shops or services. Active travel does not include journeys purely made for recreation or social reasons.
The legislation is, in my opinion, fatally flawed. Since it is for "everyday short-distance journeys, such as journeys to school, work, or for access to shops or services" surely people using these routes already know how to get to work, school, shops etc.? Sounds like more Nanny State thinking to me.
Don't miss out on the BIGGEST DEAL of the year!

The oldest active church in Fisher County, this congregation dates to the earliest years of the county's settlement and organization. The town of Roby was laid out as county seat in 1885, and citizens began establishing churches, schools and businesses. Methodists met in the home of Captain and Mrs. V. H. Anderson under the leadership of circuit-riding preacher J. W. Dickinson.
The congregation formally organized as the Roby Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in 1886 and held a revival that summer. The eight charter members included Vachel Anderson, Melvina Anderson, James Patterson, Barbary Patterson, Gabie Simpson, Lou Simpson, Jane Roy and Fannie Barron. Until the first sanctuary was constructed in 1889, worship services were held in the Fisher County courthouse. Later church buildings, completed in 1901, 1926 and 1981, have all stood at this site, on property sold to the church trustees in 1887 by M. L. and D. C. Roby and in 1889 by E. H. Dowel.
Throughout its history, this congregation, known as the First United Methodist Church since 1968, has demonstrated its commitment to mission and ministry. Membership over the years has included a number of civic and political leaders, and several members have entered the ordained ministry. Roby's First United Methodist Church serves as an important part of the community's cultural heritage. (2001) (Marker No. 12586)

Immature Description
Similar to adult, but bill pale at base and legs yellow with black front edge.
Range Distribution
Snowy Egrets mainly breed along the coasts, from Oregon and Maine southward, but also in scattered inland sites where suitable wetlands are found. Common in states bordering the Gulf of Mexico, they can also be found in the Caribbean and Central and South America. Their wintering grounds are located along the Atlantic Coast to southern New Jersey, and down into the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Greater Antilles; as well as from the Gulf and Pacific coasts south into Central America.
A legend for the range map to the right can be found here.
Habitat
Snowy Egrets forage in many types of aquatic habitats, both freshwater and marine. In North America, they generally prefer shallow, sheltered estuarine sites. These feeding areas include salt marsh pools, tidal channels, shallow bays, and mangroves. In the Caribbean, winter migrants nest and roost in mangroves. Snowy Egrets throughout Central America favor lowland areas near freshwater swamps, lakes, and the mouths of large rivers. Birds in South American prefer coastal mangroves, mudflats, and swamps.
Feeding
The Snowy Egret's varied diet is composed primarily of fish and crustaceans, but also includes snails, snakes, lizards, worms, and both aquatic and terrestrial insects. The bird is an active hunter and employs a greater repertoire of foraging behaviors than any other North American heron. Rather than simply standing still or walking slowly to ambush prey, Snowy Egrets dash through shallow water, quickly changing direction, and using their feet to flush prey from hiding places. Food is also captured through pecking, slow walking, hopping, hovering, dipping, and other "disturb and chase" behaviors.
Reproduction
Breeding takes place in colonies, typically with other egrets and herons. These mixed-species rookeries are often located in isolated, estuarine habitats. Males select nest sites and engage in courtship displays accompanied by loud, raucous calls to attract mates. Common displays include the "stretch," in which the male pumps his body up and down with his bill pointed towards the sky; plume-raising; and circling and tumbling flights. Once pairing takes place, females join in on sexual displays to maintain the pair bond. The female is the primary builder of the nest--a platform of woven twigs and small sticks situated either on the ground or as high as 30 feet up in the trees. The three to six pale green-blue eggs are incubated by both sexes for about 24 days. The chicks usually fledge two weeks after hatching. Young reach reproductive maturity after one to two years.
Migration
A partially migratory species, the Snowy Egret relocates from its northernmost breeding habitats in North America to its winter ranges in the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, South America, the West Indies, and Bermuda. The birds begin their northward migration in early March, then depart again in September for their wintering areas. Birds in parts of Florida, along the southern coastlines, and in the Pacific lowlands are year-round residents.
