And this Silkstone particularly here : essai12457855.blogspot.com/2022/06/silkstone-prince-de-ga...

View of the Chapter Hall which is 34 metres long, 13 metres wide and 11 metres high.

There are very few dates when the scuola's rooms are open for viewing because this room, the lower Hall of Columns and even a small walled garden are rented for weddings, meetings. It is interesting to see photos of these rooms filled with tables decorated for elaborate weddings. Even the church next door can be transformed with lighting and flowers for small wedding ceremonies.

Because sharing is caring...duh! =)

Because I felt like uploading!

Because we can. A run out in preserved former Stagecoach Dennis Dart SLF / Plaxton Pointer 2 B37F 33306 AE51VFV in August 2024.

Because of Mattels very biased way they treat the Matchbox brand ie, always subservient to Hot Wheels, their idea of premium is what you'd expect to find in your average Majorette offering. There is no doubt I really like this Superfast 50th Anniversary classic 1980 Porsche 911 Turbo, its well detailed, glossily finished with opening doors and rubber tyres. BUT, its baseplate is still made of plastic, its interior design is very simplistic and there is no working suspension hence hence in my view not a proper premium. Sourced recently from the U.S. Mint and boxed.

This is one of my favorite stretches of trail in New Hampshire's White Mountains. We hiked up Mt. Eisenhower (the last dome in the light in the distance), then crossed this ridge (which is technically called Mt. Franklin though it's barely its own peak) to the twin peaks of Mt. Monroe. Afterwards we descended to Lakes of the Clouds and Ammonoosuc Ravine, and I rode back to the car on a bike we'd left at the parking lot below. I just love the alpine.

Because the best thing about Valentines is the day after when they have all the chocolate for sale :3.

This photo made into my quality portfolio because the image is very visually clean and crisp. The hand and the butter, which is the main focus of the image is very clear and easy to see and identify, while the fence in the background, which is still important to the image, is more blurred out so that it doesn’t distract from the hand and butter, which are the most important part of the piece. Another reason that it is in my quality album is that the image is somewhat dark without looking undersaturated or too dim to the point where it takes away from the image, and it has a cooler color scheme while still having colors that are not usually thought of as a cool color, like red.

 

Because it's Friday, and you need a drink.

 

"Uh, it's not Friday."

 

"What? What day is it? Monday!? Still!? WTF! This calendar says every day is Monday. Except for Sunday. And that just reads "tomorrow's Monday, you're screwed." Oh s*** I really need a drink now, can't wait for Friday.

 

Wait a minute. What?

Because I love so much the fabulous work of Claudia222 Jewell, her Spirit @ Art Screamer

Because the people have chosen or something.

Because one is too mainstream. Even nature knows that.

"At the center of our being is a point of nothingness which is untouched by sin and by illusion, a point of pure truth, a point or spark which belongs entirely to God, which is never at our disposal, from which God disposes of our lives, which is inaccessible to the fantasies of our own mind or the brutalities of our own will."

-Thomas Merton

/**************************************

Art has to do with the transformation of consciousness. And I see art as a harmonic enterprise because it has the capability to make the world a better place. As you know, l particularly appreciate the search for peace through art. The artist who is peace-loving seeks not to direct attention to himself and is not interested in becoming a guru-like figure - he simply creates from the heart, doing the best he can as he gives expression to his soul. ln the process, both darkness and light are unveiled and explored. Essentially, the artist feels for balance. Ultimately, this intuitive quest can offer something valuable to the world.

Universal Studios, Hollywood, CA. Taken while standing in line around 9:00 a.m. Although it was originally shot in color, it was pretty much monochrome anyway because of the time of day, the cloudy sky, and the angle casting the building in silhouette. I wanted to bring out more detail on the rock and the walls and add more contrast to the clouds to increase the dramatic effect

Because everything Beth does comes from within

Free hats!

 

It was a really good haul this week. A guy had sooooooo much comic book stuff that he was giving away for free because he didn't want to take it back inside.

 

We accidentally ended up at an estate sale for a dead friend. That was kind of dark.

 

We saw a yard setting up a bunch of chairs and we were wondering what that was about. Turns out, it's a Burner Peace Love & Ice Cream yearly party where they play music and have about 70 of their friends over. We didn't know the people there, but they knew of MakePeace Manor.

 

Spanker Drive is a funny name for a street.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 6:35AM, made it out driving by 7:39 AM and went out until 1:28, and then again from 2:07 to 2:36 for a total of ~6 hours. Spent $143.15 plus ~$5.53 gas for 64.3 miles of driving (25.8 mpg @ $2.22/G), for a total cost of $148.68. We drove to 65 yard sales, stopping at 39 (60%) of them. We made 115 purchases (150 items) for a total estimated value of $1,400.57, leading to a profit/savings of $245.74. So in essence, we multiplied our $148.68 investment by 9.58. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $1,400.57 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $1,228.72 in cash that we saved. How long does $ of disposable income take to earn, vs the 6 hrs we spent here?). Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $245.74/hr as a couple or $122.87/hr per person.

Rapid City is the second most populous city in South Dakota and the county seat of Pennington County. Named after Rapid Creek, where the settlement developed, it is in western South Dakota, on the Black Hills' eastern slope. The population was 74,703 as of the 2020 Census.

 

Known as the "Gateway to the Black Hills" and the "City of Presidents" because of the life-size bronze president statues downtown, Rapid City is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the city's western and eastern parts. Ellsworth Air Force Base is on the city's outskirts. Camp Rapid, part of the South Dakota Army National Guard, is in the city's western part.

 

Rapid City is home to such attractions as Art Alley, Dinosaur Park, the City of Presidents walking tour, Chapel in the Hills, Storybook Island, and Main Street Square. The historic "Old West" town of Deadwood is nearby. In the neighboring Black Hills are the tourist attractions of Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, and the museum at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research. To the city's east is Badlands National Park.

Where a rugged landscape surrounds charm and culture

While Rapid City is best known for its proximity to national parks and enormous mountain carvings, including Mount Rushmore just 40 kilometers away, visitors to the heart of this Black Hills destination will be enthralled by a plethora of outdoor adventures, a charming and historic downtown and a salute to American Indian heritage in southwestern South Dakota.

 

The Famous Faces

Make Rapid City your headquarters for short jaunts to six national parks – Badlands National Park, Devils Tower National Monument, Jewel Cave National Monument, Wind Cave National Park, Minuteman Missile Silo National Park and Mount Rushmore National Memorial – as well as Crazy Horse Memorial.

 

No trip here would be complete without seeing the heads of four U.S. presidents, each about 18 meters tall, carved into granite on the side of Mount Rushmore. Once there, you’ll see why the sculpture, which took 14 years to complete, attracts nearly 3 million people a year. Nearby, work continues in the Black Hills on another mountain carving, this one of the famous Lakota warrior Crazy Horse astride his horse, that will become the world’s largest sculpture upon completion. The memorial serves to preserve the culture of North American Indians.

 

Find out more about the area at The Journey Museum & Learning Center, which features exhibits tracing some 2.5 billion years of history, from the earliest rock formations to Native American cultures and Western frontier exploration.

Options are plentiful for people who enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, wildlife viewing and off-the-beaten-path exploration. Traipse through all of those national parks and see a variety of landscapes, including mountains, hills, canyons, valleys, creeks and lakes.

 

Take in the natural beauty of the Black Hills National Forest and all of its hidden gems, including the Stratobowl clearing that was home base for historic balloon flights. Venture into Custer State Park, where the Wildlife Loop takes visitors through 29 kilometers of hills and grasslands, home to more than 1,300 free-roaming bison. Stop in the Wildlife Station Visitor Center to learn what other types of wildlife you might encounter. Sites along the George S. Mickelson Trail – a Black Hills rail trail route that is about 175 kilometers long – include tunnels, bridges and 15 trail heads.

 

A City of Culture

In addition to the prominent Native American arts and culture, Rapid City has become known for its culinary, winery and brewery scene as well as history tied to the original settlers. The Sculpture Project: Passage of Wind and Water is a five-year public art initiative with sculptor Masayuki Nagase working during the summer months to carve by hand granite sculptures in Main Street Square. As you tour the city, look for the City of Presidents, life-size bronze statues of 43 former U.S. presidents, including the famous four that are also on Mount Rushmore.

 

Comfort is key in Rapid City, which features smaller boutique hotels, larger hotel chains, vacation rentals, camping and bed-and-breakfast establishments. Perhaps you will find a place with a history that includes some of the nation’s presidents.

Here in the heart of Rapid City, a unique place exists; a functioning alley that hums with the urban street sounds of delivery and garbage trucks and a backbeat of shaking spray paint cans.

 

The walls feature truly unique works of art, personal and political expressions about community and global issues. It has a fickle nature and is constantly changing, sometimes, many times a day. It has become a sacred place for many - artists, locals and tourists. It is a place where you can get lost in the art - and also found.

 

Art Alley, located between 6th and 7th, and Main and Saint Joseph Streets in Rapid City, emerged as an organic, community gallery in 2003. In the beginning artists hung largely canvas artworks on the walls, and over time, evolved to painting directly on the walls.

 

A group of passionate artists and community members worked with city officials to nurture this organic art form, and Art Alley was born.

oh dear, I haven't been here in a while. I went to upstate, NY to visit my family for a week, so very soon I'll have a roll or three to share with you if I manage a trip to Blue Moon tomorrow. One of which might be from a Holga (!!!),but that requires that I loaded the film correctly, and a litany of other things.

Because It's my birthday ;)

Because the ground is rocky, they can only dig a few feet down at most, and so their graves / crypts are all partially above ground, which makes their cemetery like a cross between a traditional in-ground burial cemetery and the above-ground crypts of New Orleans. I found it interesting.

Because Acadia's coast is young, sandy shores are rare. However at Sand Beach, the park's largest feature of this type, shore currents have shifted the tons of sand that the sea eroded from the rocks.
