October 21st, 2007 - Geneva, Switzerland
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.
A broken desire on life's path, even though broken looks very beautiful but always reminds us the irony of life that "No one gets everything".
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.
View out of a broken window in the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum's Civil War wing (the oldest part of the asylum, built in 1861).
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long
Alter Bridge - Broken wings
This song inspired me for this photo.

What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted? Your sister is always there to make it better!
I remember this song from way back in the 60's. Here's a link to the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQU4sIn96M4
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.

Broken Pencils
Again using the Raynox attachment, and lit from above with a speedlight and mini softbox.
Slowly getting used to this cast. Three months of no walking means three months of not doing anything that requires two legs. It turns out that's a lot of stuff. I don't know how people get along in a full-leg cast. They must be unbearably heavy.
At this time of year we all make resolutions with every intention of keeping to them. Inevitably there are some which fall by the wayside, sometimes for good reasons.
As with everything in life, it is sensible to set ourselves realistic targets that we know we can achieve.
For example, I could say that I will give up smoking because that would be the smart thing to do but I know that promise won’t last, so I am not going to make it.
I suppose the best plan of action really is not to make any resolutions at all, that way nobody will be disappointed and any life changes that are achieved will appear as a bonus.
You can therefore ignore anything that is legible in this picture!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL..... one thing I will promise is that there will be another picture tomorrow.
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.
This sculpture is by the main entrance to Fermilab. Below is Roadside America's description:
Straddling the road to the main entrance to Fermilab is the steel sculpture "Broken Symmetry," created by Fermilab's first director, Robert Wilson. The concept of symmetry breaking is very important in particle physics; it may explain why there is more matter than anti-matter in the universe (in other words, why there is stuff instead of no stuff). The sculpture, when viewed from underneath, is symmetrical, but when viewed from other positions is non-symmetrical. On one side it's black, on the other, orange (sort of like a chocolate/orange candy, just not as tasty). The sculpture's 21 tons of steel came from the aircraft carrier USS Princeton, which saw extensive action during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The Princeton was the also the ship that plucked the Apollo 10 astronauts from the drink in 1969. The reason why old aircraft carrier steel plates were hanging around Fermilab was that it was a cheap way to get metal to filter out background particles during accelerator experiments. -
