possibly the most beautiful photo I have ever taken. shot at the sun yat sen garden in Vancouver, BC in 04.
Sunset from the San Bruno Summit. I think it's best when viewed large.
As a side note: the K100d has become a permanent fixture on my bike thanks for a seat mounted camera bag. This is mainly b/c of its size...I'd rather have a Nikon along but hey what can I do?

The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford.[2] Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in divinity taught by its Faculty of Theology, which is housed at the Theology Faculty Centre, 41 St Giles', Oxford.[3]
The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses, designed by William Orchard in the 1480s.[4]
The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library and is also next to the Sheldonian Theatre where students gain their degrees. At the far end from the Bodleian Library entrance, a door leads to Convocation House (built 1634–7).[1]

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (Jan. 30, 2015) - Chaplain B. Gregory Edison was promoted to the rank of colonel today at a ceremony held here at the Marshall Hall headquarters of U.S. Army Forces Command. Maj. Gen. Jimmie Jaye Wells, FORSCOM chief of staff, hosted the ceremony and administered the oath of office. Chaplain Edison is the chaplain personnel manager for the FORSCOM Office of the Chaplain. Originally from Texas, Chaplain Edison was commissioned from ROTC as an infantry officer. He later became a chaplain after completing his master's and doctorate in divinity.
A Lierne (from the French lier - to bind) in Gothic rib vaulting is an architectural term for a tertiary rib spanning between two other ribs, instead of from a springer, or to the central boss. The type of vault that utilizes liernes is called a lierne vault or stellar vault (named after the star shape generated by connecting liernes).
In England, the lierne came into use during the 14th century Decorated period. A good example of lierne vaulting is at Gloucester Cathedral. In France, examples can be seen in Flamboyant architecture, such as at Saint-Pierre, Caen.
The vault plan diagram of Ely Choir (right) shows the ribs as a double line, where the main longitudinal ridge rib (middle vertical lines) and transverse ridge ribs (alternate horizontal lines) intersect each other at the central bosses (large circles). The longitudinal ridge rib runs down the centre of the Choir, and the transverse ridge ribs span from the apex of each window at the sides of the Choir. Arched diagonal ribs span from piers between the windows, from springers to the central bosses, and arched transverse ribs (alternate horizontal lines) span from the springers to the main longitudinal ridge rib. Secondary arched diagonal ribs, called tiercerons, span from the springers to the transverse ridge ribs. Liernes (shaded black) span between the other ribs forming intricate patterning.
Note: In French terminology relating to architecture, a lierne is a ridge rib, and hence has a different meaning.
after sitting outside and gorging ourselves on sweets at the hungarian pastry shop on amsterdam ave today, my friend and i paid a visit to the cathedral of saint john the divine across the street, as he had never been there after 5 years of living in new york.
there was a wedding party outside posing for pictures on the steps as we left, but as we stopped to admire the beautiful bride, we realized it was a set-up for a film shoot. how very new york...
