Do you remember the scars I showed you
the stories I told you
how I always said forever
when you aksed me to stay true
So, I know there will be a lot of wedding rings, however, I am very proud of my marriage. It's probably the one thing I'm most proud of. Also, my wedding ring belonged to my great, great, great grandmother from Scotland. The stamps inside the ring are Scottish, I'm also proud to be 50% Scottish. As a little girl, my mother said it would be mine one day. However, the ring is only a 3.75 (very tiny). My fingers have shrank as I've gotten older and by the time I got married, eight years ago, it fit.

(W. L. Hammond photo, dated July 16, 1975. Scan of a slide from my collection.)
This 1952 White COE/Van Pelt pumper lasted in frontline service with the Sacramento Fire Department into the early 1970s. It had a 750-GPM pump and a 500-gallon water tank. It was one of two that came to SFD in 1953, following annexation of one of several small fire districts in South Sacramento (possibly Sutterville Heights).
It may have been relegated to reserve status and filling in for Hose Tender 20 at the time of this 1975 photo. I have a photo, also taken by Mr. Hammond, of Engine 20 with its regularly assigned rig posed in the same spot on the same day.
A área das Cataratas do Iguaçu (em espanhol, Cataratas del Iguazú) são um conjunto majestoso de cerca de 275 quedas de água no Rio Iguaçu (na Bacia hidrográfica do rio Paraná), localizam entre o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, Paraná, no Brasil, e no Parque Nacional Iguazú, Misiones, na Argentina. A área total de ambos parques nacionais, correspondem a 250 mil hectares de floresta subtropical e declarada como Patrimônio Natural da Humanidade.
O Parque Nacional argentino foi criado em 1934; e o Parque Nacional brasileiro, em 1939, com o propósito de administrar e proteger o manancial de água que representa essa catarata e o conjunto do meio ambiente ao seu redor. Os parques tanto brasileiro como argentino passaram a ser considerados Patrimônio da Humanidade em 1984 e 1986, respectivamente. Desde 2002 o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu é um dos sítios geológicos brasileiros.
Historicamente, o primeiro europeu a achar as Cataratas do Iguaçu foi o espanhol, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, no ano de 1542.
As Cataratas do Iguaçu estão participando da campanha mundial de escolha das Sete Novas Maravilhas da Natureza, organizada pela Fundação New 7 Wonders,ela esta entre as 28 finalista da campanha, que deve durar até 2011 quando deve ser atingido o número de 1 bilhão de votos,além das Cataratas do Iguaçu a Amazônia é outra concorrente brasileira que busca ser uma das Sete Novas Maravilhas da Natureza.Pela internet é possível votar através da pagina oficial da Fundação New 7 Wonders

Las cataratas del Iguazú se encuentran cerca de la triple frontera Argentina, Paraguay y Brasil (del idioma guaraní: Yguasu (agua grande), en portugués: cataratas do Iguaçu) son las cataratas localizadas en la provincia de Misiones, en el Parque Nacional Iguazú, Argentina y en el Parque Nacional do Iguaçu del estado de Paraná, Brasil. Su nombre proviene de dos palabras: la palabra «y» (similar a la /ü/ del alemán o la /u/ del francés, producida por contracción de la garganta) y la palabra «guasu» (léase guasu), que en lengua guaraní quieren decir «agua» y «grande», respectivamente.
Están formadas por 275 saltos de hasta 80 m de altura, alimentados por el caudal del río Iguazú. Se pueden realizar paseos en lancha bajo los saltos y caminatas por senderos apreciando algunos animales de la selva subtropical. La «Garganta del Diablo» (el salto mayor, que consta de 80 m) es un espectáculo aparte que, saliendo desde Puerto Canoas, se puede disfrutar en toda su majestuosidad a tan sólo 50 m de distancia.

Iguazu Falls, Iguassu Falls, or Iguaçu Falls (Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu, (Portuguese pronunciation: [kataˈɾatɐz du iɡwaˈsu]; Spanish: Cataratas del Iguazú, Spanish pronunciation: [kataˈɾatas del iɣwaˈsu]) are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu.
I just love the deer family, the fawns are so darn cute, funny how one has no spots and the other is covered with them. I was lucky to get them all looking at once and clearly too, usually one has moved his head when you snap the photo and that one is blurry!
Cada dia tem seu pôr do Sol ...
em cada lugar ou em cada angulo que voce olhar...
vai encontrar um por do sol...
mas será diferente de todos que estarão olhando...
mesmo o sol sendo único ...
importa onde voce esta ,
não com quem voce esta...
para ver o seu sol, e ter a sua despedida...
esta imagem será única na sua alma...
Shisen-dō (詩仙堂) is a Buddhist temple of the Sōtō Zen sect in Sakyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It is registered as a historic site of Japan. It stands on the grounds of its founder, the Edo period intellectual Ishikawa Jōzan (1583–1672), who established the temple in 1641.
A room in the main temple displays portraits of thirty-six Chinese poets. The selection of the poets was based on the opinion of Hayashi Razan. The portraits were executed by Kanō Tan'yū. This and some other parts of the building date to the time of Ishikawa Jōzan.
The temple's gardens are considered masterworks of Japanese gardens.[1] One of them includes a device called a sōzu, a type of shishi-odoshi designed to scare away wild animals such as deer by making a loud noise. Water trickles into a bamboo tube, and when it reaches a certain level, it upsets the balance of the tube. The tube tips over on a pivot, discharging the water, and turns upright, striking a rock and emitting a loud clapping noise.
Mark is seen here on the final approach to the Allt Scheicheach bothy. We had cycled for a couple of hours to reach this point. Soon we would dump our bikes in readiness for a hike up the remote Beinn Dearg. Being Early December daylight hours would be limited so it was no surprise that we returned back along this section in twilight and of course it was pitch black by the time the car was reached. In fact on the return Mark fell off twice as he skidded in the dimly lit snow. I didn't laugh that much honest.
Here's an exciting vintage photograph showing Dornier Do X in New York harbour with the impressive skyline of Manhattan in the background. The German flying boat is surrounded by several smaller vessels, so the photo was most likely taken on the aircraft's arrival in New York on August 27, 1931.
The photo's origin
Usually, I collect private shots from family albums only, trying to avoid professional photos altogether. I'm making an exception here, as this is almost certainly the work of a press photographer. I purchased the print – measuring 161 x 123 millimetres – from a German online vendor who claimed it to be original vintage. I'm not so sure about that, but since it's printed on fibre-based paper (rather than the modern polyethene type), it may be an earlier reprint, possibly dating from the 1950s or 1960s. Sadly, there's nothing stamped or written on reverse. If anybody can supply more information on this photo, please drop me a line.
