A "private" sculpture in a backyard as seen through the main entrance to the residential block.
I'm not sure of the exact address, or whom the beauty is.
Probably Harbour Street 53, Copenhagen.
"Baggårdens skønhed"
En "privat" skulptur i en baggård set gennem hovedindgangen til boligblokken.
Jeg er Ikke sikker på den nøjagtige adresse, eller hvem skønhed er.
Sandsynligvis Havnegade 53, København.

I almost just blew my project off today, but I managed to put aside my laziness, and take this picture.

The conference „Digital Backyards Japan“ has been initiated by smal.jp and berlinergazette.de. It took place during three days of January 2013 (10th-12th) in northern Japan at the Sapporo Media Arts Lab. The aim was to explore future forms of networking in the field of knowledge production.
The awareness towards the digital monopolism of companies based in Silicon valley is growing all over the world. Also in Japan. But what are alternatives to Google and Facebook? The conference „Digital Backyards Japan“ claims: The answer can not be yet another internet giant of Japanese origin to rival Google and Facebook. A real alternative would be to empower diversity.
The resources for alternatives to an increasingly centralized internet landscape lie dormant in Japan's diversity itself: tinker garages, corporate hotbeds, grassroots hubs, institutional labs, hacker bedrooms, editorial outposts etc. In those digital backyards various stakeholders in the field of knowledge production have been pursuing their innovative work over the last decades. However its potential has not been exhausted yet.
What can be done about this? The conference invited open minded bloggers, entrepreneurs, researchers, cultural workers, journalists and programmers to explore synergies between their work. Here they discussed: Why do we network in the first place? What do we see as emerging trends? What are up and coming web services? What is the potential of decentralized strategies?
The motivation of the conference is to think and network beyond the given (e.g. infrastructures) and the dominant (e.g. cultures). Above all it is about exploring dormant potentials: How can Japan's digital backyards catalyse networking cultures in a sustainable way? How can they revitalize a country in deep crisis? And how can they help to connect Japan anew with world society?
„Digital Backyards Japan“ was a kick off event for more meetings in Japan/Asia and a follow up of a Berlin summit in October 2012. The spontaneous proliferation of the conference enables a fruitful process of cross-regional learning from: Insights from the debates in Europe are shared in Japan/Asia and vice versa.

Are there any alternatives to an increasingly centralized internet landscape as cultivated by Google and Facebook? It is hard to imagine, but there are. The resources for such alternatives lie dormant in Japan’s diversity itself: tinker garages, corporate hotbeds, grassroots hubs, institutional labs, hacker bedrooms, editorial outposts etc. In those digital backyards innovators have been silently pursuing their work. Now they come together from all over Europe & Japan to explore synergies and common interests.
The conference is partitioned into a semi-open „Networking Lounge“ and „Public Talks“ that are accessible to a broad audience.

That tree looks gorgeous right now, but pretty much throughout the rest of the year, it just makes a big mess of the yard. I am grateful for its shade though.
The other day, I looked outside and to my amazement, there were two adult Bald Eagles and their two youngsters from this year. We have a nest a block away, so we see them flying over the ponds a lot. This is the first time that I've seen them on the ground. Of course there was a huge, dead Carp just over the edge where this one was standing!

A red shouldered hawk perches in a tree in our backyard. The photo was taken in the River Forest community of Stuart, Florida.
Number 5 in my backyard wanderings. Our Christmas tree lot is not so festive during the summer. There are a lot of roots to dig up, and hubby spends many hours out there. Does make for a nice backyard campfire though ;-}
I had initially shot this scene yesterday, but for a variety of reasons decided to go with a different shot for the project. So I re-shot it this morning, but I thought that the direct light on the patio was too bright. This afternoon we had a little bit of cloud cover for a few minutes, so I gave it another try - it doesn't have the extraneous objects that appeared in yesterday's shot, and it doesn't have this morning's harsh lighting.
Several years ago, we obtained some seats from Philadelphia's soon-to-be-torn-down (at the time) Veterans Stadium. My husband suggested that we build a baseball-themed patio in order to go with the ultimate outdoor seats. I feared that the result would be garish, but I figured that he put up with enough of my crazy ideas that I owed him a few. But the end result was very tasteful, and unless you're looking for the baseball diamond design it's actually easy to overlook.
But when you do look, it's definitely a baseball diamond. Home plate is in the foreground, with the first and third base lines branching out from there. The brown bricks in the middle, just in front of the table, comprise the pitching mound.
Play ball!
This video clip shows a backyard scene as snow falls on a cold morning. The scene includes various bird activity and a hop through by a rabbit.
this is in the backyard of my mom's house. we never did get any cement for the court so instead, to mark the foul line, we used one concert block. i think it was a little too far back. do you know how hard it is to dribble on grass?
