At the risk of incurring the disdain of my friend Ludovic, a shot that puts the actual size of the Broken Chair monument into perspective.
The disadvantage of this shot is that there is a building directly behind the chair, which reduces the visual impact of the half-broken leg towering above the group of tourists. But I wanted the building on the right hand side of the picture as a point of reference and I didn't want to have to crop, so I was kind of stuck with this angle. I like the shadow though.
This picture is most definitely better large on black.
It has been blogged on the GNUCitizen website here. And it also features on one of the playing cards of the wonderful board game HELVETIQ, which was conceived to help those applying for Swiss nationality to learn about the country's culture and history in a fun way.
For some background information on the Broken Chair, please see the description to this photograph.
i broke my nose a few times when i was younger, in fights and playing hockey. it's been repaired twice, and the last time it was fixed the doctor looked at me and sighed, "that's as good as it's going to get. don't break it again."
Broken Chain on Tauentzienstraße, a major shopping street in the City West area of Berlin.
The Broken Chain is a contemporary sculpture in Berlin that symbolizes the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The sculpture consists of two halves of a broken chain representing the division and reunification of the city. It serves as a powerful reminder of Germany's tumultuous history and eventual triumph over division.

The broken windows theory is a criminological theory of the norm-setting and signaling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti-social behavior. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring urban environments to prevent small crimes such as vandalism, public drinking, and toll-jumping helps to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes from happening.

Again using the Raynox attachment, and lit from above with a speedlight and mini softbox.
Broken Tree Bench, one of the sculptures that adorn Memorial Park, Memphis, TN. There are several sculptures throughout the cemetery. I thought this one was intriguing. It holds a beauty of it's own.

True love can lead to a broken heart. So can leaving me with a pile of Love Hearts! Tragic I had to eat them all after.
Explored!
I've been absent, but I'll pick it up again.
Today I got a new set of tires for my car so that I can finally drive it now.
But everything is still so stressing. Parents are a pain sometimes when they yell in your ear and say hurtful things.
I can't wait until I get out of here.

J'avais vu des photos prises par un ami de ces vieilles bagnoles. Coup de coeur pour moi. Ça fait des années que je rêve de photographier ce genre de voitures abandonnées.
Je lui suis vraiment reconnaissance de m'avoir accompagnée hier à cet endroit ou se trouvent 3 vieilles bagnoles recouvertes de feuilles mortes et de mousse.

METLAKATLA, British Columbia, is a small community that is one of the seven Tsimshian village communities in British Columbia, Canada. It is situated at Metlakatla Pass near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. It is the one Tsimshian village in Canada that is not associated with one particular tribe or set of tribes out of the Tsimshian nation's 14 constituent tribes. The name Metlakatla derives from the Tsimshian Maaxłakxaała, which means "saltwater pass." Traditionally, this site has been the collective winter village of the "Nine Tribes" of the lower Skeena River, which since 1834 have been mostly based at Lax Kw'alaams, B.C. By 1879 the population had grown to about 1,100. In July 1901 a fire destroyed St. Paul's Church at Metlakatla, demolishing what was said to have been the largest church north of San Francisco and west of Chicago, built by Duncan in 1874. In 1972, Metlakatla Pass was designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Since those days, Metlakatla, B.C., has remained among the smallest of the Tsimshian communities. In 1983 its population was 117, and quite dependent on the nearby city of Prince Rupert. It is still predominantly Anglican.
