i have been inspired by these Dave Matthews Band lyrics:
A big eyed fish,
Yeah, swimming in the sea,
Oh, how he dreamed.
He wants to be a bird,
Swooping, diving through the breeze.
One day, he caught a big blue wave,
Up onto the beach,
And now he's dead.
You see, a fish's dream,
Should stay in the sea.
But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
also inspired by this photo by brooke shaden, who does a dead bird better than anyone i've ever seen. <3
i had a whole blog post about the meaning of this song and this photo. but, it was just too many words for something that is actually very raw and still developing for me. i wish that i had more time to work on this image and the message so that i could really feel like i was articulating something that is weighing on my mind. but, this is my only shot from november 8th. and so you get something that i was maybe not quite ready to share...
The beautiful Aspire tower illuminated with its eye catching color lights...
Your imagination does not end. There is more...
Aspire Tower is the tallest building in Qatar, shaped as a torch to mark the 2006 Asian Games.
The tower housed the Asian Games flame during the games and holds the record for tallest ever games flame and highest positioning of a games flame, which was visible throughout Doha for the duration of the games.
On the right side, a glimpse of Aspire Dome is visible which is the world’s largest indoor multipurpose dome

“For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; / A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; / A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.”
(Bible quotes)

Tomorrowland
Tokyo Disneyland
Some greenery, water, and spire-y goodness at dusk at Tomorrowland's main entrance in Tokyo Disneyland. It reminds me that Tomorrowland was really a conceptual art piece as much as it ever was a true "prediction" of what tomorrow would be like. None of it needed to become reality so much as it needed to create a sense of looking forward. I think even 30 year old-architecture can still point to the future.
This is taken from the hub to the right of Tomorrowland's main entrance. The building connected to this spire houses Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters while the one on its left is currently housing Captain EO.

Just a short distance from the Green-Wood Cemetery gate is this beautiful chapel. It was built in 1911 by the architectural firm Warren and Wetmore, which also designed the Grand Central Terminal (New York), the Yale Club and the New York Yacht Club.
Though situated in a cemetery, the chapel is often used for film shooting as well as weddings.

Green-Wood Cemetery (founded 1838) is both a Revolutionary War historic site (the Battle of Long Island was fought in 1776 across what is now its grounds) and a National Historic Site for the many important people buried here. The 478-acre site sits on a beautiful hilly parkland with several ponds.

"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
— Henry David Thoreau
