The Breakers is a Vanderbilt mansion located on Ochre Point Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, United States on the Atlantic Ocean. It is a National Historic Landmark, a contributing property to the Bellevue Avenue Historic District, and is owned and operated by the Preservation Society of Newport County.
The Breakers was built as the Newport summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy United States Vanderbilt family. Designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt and with interior decoration by Jules Allard and Sons and Ogden Codman, Jr., the 70-room mansion boasts approximately 65,000 sq ft (6,000 m2). of living space. The home was constructed between 1893 and 1895 at a cost of more than $7 million (approximately $150 million in today's dollars adjusted for inflation). The Ochre Point Avenue entrance is marked by sculpted iron gates and 30-foot (9.1 m) high walkway gates are part of a 12-foot-high limestone and iron fence that borders the property on all but the ocean side. The 250' x 120' dimensions of the five-story mansion are aligned symmetrically around a central Great Hall.
Part of a 13-acre (53,000 m²) estate on the seagirt cliffs of Newport, it sits in a commanding position that faces east overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

This was taken on the beach at Bexhill-On-Sea, East Sussex. It is a photo of stones that were stuck between two bits of wood on a sea breaker.
I used the polar coordinates filter in photoshop to turn in into a sphere and then carefully blended the join.
The effect in all four corners of the photo was actually caused by the filter and therefore an unexpected enhancement.
The original 2007 Breaker SRT SS was inspired by the classic Dodge Charger. It has a supercharged 5.5 Liter V8 producing 670 Horspower to RWD. It will do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 150 MPH!

This is the inside of our circuit breaker panel. The two thick cables coming down from the top are the main power feeds that carry electricity into the house from the power lines on the street. The big grey wire wrapped in white tape off to the right is the grounding cable.

The new breaker facility for Famous Reading Anthracite. Many times smaller than the old St Nick breaker, but then coal isn't as much in demand as it was 70 years ago.
somebody once told me "there are no bad cameras - just bad photographers". well, since my 'good' camera died last summer and i have not stumbled across an extra $700 for a new one, i will be shooting for a while with my rather crappy 'backup' cameras. but it beats what i've been doing - which is not shooting at all.
