This is a quote that I remind myself of often at work. I took photos of signs around town then used photoshop to crop the letters and words to create a poster for a project.

Champion of the Thames, King Street, Cambridge
I've been coming into this pub for 35 years now, and it's hardly changed at all in all that time. It's the last real pub in Cambridge city centre.
I was chatting to the bloke behind the bar, telling him it was five years since my last visit and I'd been apprehensive about what I might find.
He thought for a moment. "Five years, let me think," he pondered. "I reckon the only thing we've changed in the last five years is that light bulb in the corner." Champion.
Ex London Country RS108 (APM 108T) is seen here in Scarborough in 1989. It carried Easey Travel, March, livery but had recently been purchased by Hircocks' Upwell and District.
Sadly, Poltz is almost too big for the changing table. What a fatty.
This is where Poltz hangs out during the day. It's a real good time to enter the nursery with a crying baby who wants his diaper changed in one hand and have to shoo away a 17 lb. cat with the other.

Many people wonder what teachers carry around with them in their "teacher" bag every night. here is what is currently in mine.
he surprised me with his discussion of the ice and water cycle and reversible change......we had not discussed this in a year?
we were outside and some icicles fell and he wanted to bring in snow, so i brought in some icicles for a lesson in volume, but he turned it into reversible change
he was also discussing how to save the icicles, we should put them in the fridge......i told him the fridge was not cold enough, he said, "well we could try and see if it works! natural icicle popsicle"
we were discussing the icicles outside so when i broke some off, i decided to bring some in to show him the volume of water contained as it melted.....he ended up showing me, how to use it as a lens/prism.......a wand, a lesson in reversible change and then breaking off pieces and blowing them in pools of water with his breath....wind energy.....he knows way more than me!
I was watching pbs kids with him recently and realized.....this was something he learned from sid the science kid......reversible change......but i swear he had not seen the show in at least 6 months....then about a month after i videotaped this we saw the episode again......aha moment
video link
pbskids.org/sid/videoplayer.html?OnPenguinPond
great show and channel, pbs kids, no commercials, lots of music and physical activity encouraged during the shows and this particular show is called sid the science kid.....perfect age appropriate science investigation encouragement, i see lots of long lasting learning from the 30 minutes he sees maybe 2x a week
Sharjah, UAE Oct 10 2010
In Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, participants in a climate festival formed a giant '350' to urge politicians to pass clean energy policies.
This was one of over 7,000 climate action events taking place in in 188 countries around the world on 10/10/10 as part of “The Global Work Party.” This synchronized international event is organized by 350.org, and is expected to be the largest day of environmental activism in history.

This is still life type shot I created in my dining/games room for a photographic competition at my local camera club. It's meant to represent rather bleakly the changing childhood of today, namely outdoor actvities giving way to the games consoles. Fortunately my two lads still remain activite despite having a games console.
Old buildings associated with the fishing industy were often painted with red ochre, hydrated iron oxide -- deposits of the pigment occur naturally around the island of Newfoundland, and it was mixed with fish oil* to make paint. These red buildings abound on Change Islands off Newfoundland's coast.
*According to Wikipedia: The dry ingredient, ochre, was mixed with some type of liquid raw material to create a rough paint. The liquid material was usually seal oil or cod liver oil in Newfoundland and Labrador, while Scandinavian recipes sometimes called for linseed oil. Red ochre paint was sometimes prepared months in advance and allowed to sit, and the smell of ochre paint being prepared is still remembered by many today.
Variations in local recipes, shades of ore, and type of oil used resulted in regional variations in color. Because of this, it is difficult to pinpoint an exact shade or hue of red that would be considered the traditional “fishing stage red”. Oral tradition in the Bonavista Bay area maintains that seal oil would give a purer red color, while cod liver oil would give a “foxy” color, browner in hue.

Opal is a color-change stone. When you spin the stone around, colours might appear or disappear, or change completely. It's quite magical. This is NOT a gem-quality opal, rather it's a boulder opal, because the opal veins are embedded in a brownstone called ironstone.
Had the entire stone displayed the colourful patches, this stone would have costed probably USD $8,000 and up!

Of all the beautiful and expensive gemstones that I cannot afford, opal is the one that I like the most.
High-quality precious black opals from Australia can cost easily between USD $5,000 to $15,000 each. Opal is a natural amorphous silica with a water content varying from one to twenty percent, depending on the porosity and degree of hydration. Precious opal usually contains from six to ten percent water. The chemical formula for opal is SiO2·nH2O.
Thankfully I came across this boulder opal for only USD $14. I can afford that!
Basically, a boulder opal is an opal embedded in a brown rock called ironstone, like the one you see here. Had the entire gemstone displayed the colourful and colour-changing nature, this opal would have been worth probably around USD $8,000. But because only very few stripes (known as veins) display the colourful diffraction of light, this stone is not considered gem-quality, which is why it goes for less than USD $100. In my case, bidding ended at USD $14 so I was quite lucky.
Some interesting facts about opal:
1) Green and blue play of colour is most common, red less so.
2) Because of the unusual way opal is formed, and how light is diffracted from it, colour may appear or disappear under different light sources, or may change from one colour to another completely.
3) Depending on the play of colour, the value of an opal can vary significantly.
4) As a natural silica, opals are very fragile. Drop it on a hard surface and cracks can appear, or worse still, the whole piece might shatter.
Also remember, this opal only measures 17.2 mm x 12.1 mm, so the photos shown here have been magnified by 3 times, if not more.
The seller of the opals on eBay post videos of the stones. And this is a video of the stone I bought.
