Finally got to Sutton Manor, the site of an old colliery outside of St. Helen's, where the newly erected "Dream" is situated.
This work of art is a 20m high sculpture of a 12 year old girl that dominates the skyline. It is designed as a reflection on the men who worked in the coal industry and looking forward to the regeneration of the industrial area. The white marble was chosen specifically to contrast against the blackness of the coal that still lies in the ground beneath.
Dream, was chosen by a group of local ex-miners and commissioned by St.Helens Council as part of The Big Art Project, an ambitious public art initiative from Channel 4 supported by Arts Council England, the national development agency for the arts, and The Art Fund, the UK's leading independent art charity. The sculpture was also the star of the corresponding major new 4-part Channel 4 television series - Big Art in May 2009 and was officially launched on Sunday 31 May.

The Vivacious Rosefinch has been taken at Hehuan Mt. (3,422), Taiwan. He is really my dream bird....! Seeing this beauty is truly an overwhelming experience!!
In heavy, flaming, burning atmospheres, there is the disquieting and disturbing display of strange nature that is at once entirely realistic and yet almost supernatural.
|INSTAGRAM| |FACEBOOK| What’s your dream home? To me, a home with a great view that creates a thrill of excitement to keep my tripod always open & ready. I was lucky enough to witness that view. Every day I came home with the excitement of watching the dance of this unique view with clouds, sunset, light and sky. Hiç bir engelin olmasa nasıl bir evde yaşamak istersin? Ben fotoğrafı çekilecek kadar güzel manzaralı, tripodu bana her an açık bıraktıracak heyecanı yaratan bir evde yaşamak isterim. Lozan’da yaşadığım 2 yıl boyunca, tripodum hep açık, her gün eve bu eşsiz manzara ile bulutların, ışığın, gökyüzünün ve günbatımının yeni dansını izleme heyecanıyla gelirdim.

Si entretejes tus memorias sólo queda el olvido para los malos momentos y sorbos de recuerdo para los dulces.
This one was a very interesting sight. I wasn't even planning on taking the shot, but the way the light was shining through the trees, I didn't have much of a choice. This is a somewhat local shot, taken in the back roads by novato. I'll probably go back later today or tomorrow to take more shots; the sky has been too great to pass up lately, for taking pictures.
This is another HDR panorama, taken from 27 shots.
Dreaming Lessons ~ Pelajaran Bermimpi
Ada hal yang tidak dapat dipelajari di sekolah, kecuali bila ada yang mengajarkan:
Pelajaran Bermimpi
Sejak tahun 2009, aku ditugaskan oleh pemerintah untuk mengajar di sebuah SMP Negeri ndesit, yang terletak sekitar 30 km dari rumahku.
Dan aku dapati meskipun ini sekolah negeri, kemampuan akademik murid-muridku sangatlah mengerikan~
Bayangkan saja, murid SMP yang notabene sudah lulus SD, masih banyak yang tidak bisa membaca, menulis, apalagi berhitung dengan baik!
Aku pun bertanya-tanya kira-kira, apa penyebabnya?
Selidik sana, selidik sini
Akhirnya aku temukan sebuah fakta yang cukup mengejutkan
Tentang sebagian besar muridku yang datang dari keluarga kelas menengah ke bawah itu aku sudah tahu
Tetapi lebih dari itu, ternyata sebagian besar dari mereka juga datang dari keluarga berantakan.
Ayah meninggal, ibu menikah lagi, ibu meninggal, ayah tiri menikah lagi
Ayah-ibu yang bercerai, dan kemudian masing-masing menikah lagi dan punya anak sendiri.
Ayah-ibu bekerja jadi TKW/TKI ke luar negeri, di rumah hanya tinggal dengan nenek yang sudah tua, atau bahkan dititipkan kepada kerabat lain yang belum tentu baik hati
Ayah-ibu bekerja di sawah atau pabrik yang tak terlalu jauh dari rumah, tapi pergi sebelum mereka bangun, dan pulang larut malam
Ada juga beberapa orang yang ayahnya memiliki lebih dari satu istri baik secara resmi maupun simpanan.
Bahkan ada beberapa orang yang merupakan anak di luar nikah!
Atau lebih buruk dari itu, ada juga ayah muridku yang merupakan seorang preman atau maling!
Sangat menyedihkan~
Maka jelaslah sudah penyebab buruknya prestasi murid-muridku.
Mereka terjebak di sebuah dunia yang menyesakkan, kurang kasih-sayang, dan perhatian.
Hidup hanya menjalani sebuah rutinitas, karena merasa kurang lebih akan beginilah jadinya masa depan mereka.
Sama sekali tidak ada motivasi untuk belajar apalagi berprestasi.
Maka inilah aku untuk mengajarkanmu bermimpi
Dengar ya sayang, kemalangan hidup itu dapat di ubah
Di luar sana dunia lain yang lebih indah yang dapat kamu masuki
Dan kalau sekarang keluargamu kurang menyenangkan, di masa depan kamu bisa membentuk keluarga sendiri yang lebih bahagia dari yang sekarang kamu miliki
Jangan menyerah sayang, tolong jangan pernah menyerah!
Pelajaran bermimpi adalah pelajaran untuk menjadi manusia yang lebih baik
”Man jadda wajada” = barang siapa bersungguh-sungguh maka akan terwujud
”Man shabara zhafira” = barang siapa yang bersabar, maka akan beruntung
”Man sara ‘ala darbi washola” = siapa yang berjalan di jalannya maka akan sampai pada tujuan
”Man yazra’ yahsud” = siapa yang menanam maka akan menuai

Omong-omong, bapak ini adalah ayah dari salah seorang muridku.
Tadinya dia bekerja di ibukota Jakarta, tetapi akhirnya dia memilih kembali ke kampung halaman demi keluarganya.
Sekarang dia bekerja sebagai petani dan tukang ojek.
Aku lumayan sering mengobrol dengan beliau dan beberapa tukang ojek lainnya, saat menunggu bis sepulang mengajar di halte(?) itu.
Mereka itu orang-orang baik yang memiliki impian sederhana untuk anak-anaknya, yaitu agar anak-anaknya memiliki pendidikan yang lebih tinggi dari mereka dan kelak berpenghidupan yang lebih baik dari mereka.
Dan sekolah tempat aku mengajar itu terletak 5 km menyebrang dari tempat itu, belok 3 kali.

There is something that couldn’t be learn in the school, except if someone taught it:
Dreaming Lessons
Since 2009, I was tasked by the government to teach in a village Junior High School, located about 30 km from my home.
And I found, even if my school is a state school, my student’s academic abilities are terribly so bad.
Imagine this: junior high school students who in fact have been graduated from primary school, where can not read, write, moreover to count well!
So I wonder, what is the reason?
I try to investigate it.
About most of my student were come from middle class family to below, I’ve already know.
But more than it, most of them were actually come from broken-home family.
Father passed away, mother remarried, then mother passed away and the step father remarried again.
Father and mother divorced, then each of them were remarried again and have their own children
Father and mother were working out of town or country as a domestic worker or labor, and left them in home with only an old granny or deposit (?) them to another relatives whose couldn’t be insurance to treat them well
Father and mother work in rice field or factory which not to far from their home, but they go before them wake and back very late
There are also some of my student who their father have more than one wife whether official or mistress.
There were even some of my students who were a children out of wedlock, --children of adultery—
Or more worse than it, there is some of my student father who is a gangster or a thief!
What a heart crushing~
Now it's clear the reason of poor performance from my disciples.
They were trapped in a world that is oppressive, less affection, and attention.
Live just underwent a routine, because they feel this is the future they also would be.
No motivation to learn, furthermore to excel!
So, here I am to teach you to dream~
Listen dear, misfortunes of life could be changed
Out there are also available a beautiful world that you could enter
And if your family is now less fascinating, in the future you would be able to form your own family that full of love and affection more than what you have now!
Don’t give up dear, please never give up!
Dreaming lessons is a lesson to be a better person
”Man jadda wajada” = who is seriously make effort would be succeed
”Man shabara zhafira” = who is patience would be lucky
”Man sara ‘ala darbi washola” = who is walk on his way would arrive to the destination
”Man yazra’ yahsud” = who is plants would be harvest

By the way, this man is one of my student’s fathers.
He was work in capital city, Jakarta, before but he decides to back home for his family.
Now he works as a farmer and a motorcycle rental driver.
I quite often to talk with him and several other motorcycle rental drivers, while waiting for my bus in those bus stop to take me home after working.
They are nice persons, who have simple dreams that their children would have a better education and later a better life than their own.
And the school where I teach is located 5 km crossing of those roads, turning 3 times.

Que saudade que eu tô do meu cantinho!
Tô postando pouco mas leio tudo! =D
Chegou esse esmalte que era sonho de consumo desde quando vi o post da Kelly e fui obrigada a pausar o desafio. Escolhi uma cor que não evidencia todos os glitters que compõem esse indie, mas no final achei fofo rs. Pessoalmente o glitter rosa é um pouco mais evidente do que na foto. E me diz o que é esse Mickey holográfico????!!!!! LINDO! A minha única dificuldade foi que quando ia pescar, eles se desmontaram e perderam a cor (aconteceu com 2 Micheyzinhos).

we dream dolphins lifting from waves
will make us into waves too.
- from "Water Organ" by Terri Witek
We pulled off the Overseas Highway somewhere between Islamorada and Marathon, we might have been in the Matecumbe Key area, and walked out on to an old bridge that is now a place to walk on and fish from. This is the Atlantic side of the Florida Keys. The water was gorgeous and kept shifting colors, sometimes turquoise, sometimes blue, sometimes teal. I wanted to stay right there forever. My dad commented on the fact that as we hopped from key to key on the highway, we never saw any dolphins or rays or sharks or anything really from the bridges - just lots of boats and people snorkeling or scuba diving. It was mini-lobster season after all.

Views from a 23 story penthouse on Beach Avenue. View overlooks False Creek, English Bay and the West End. A rare opportunity for me that came via a friend of a friend. The night was amazing and almost indescribable. Starting with the most intense sunset I have ever seen and fading into a wild lightning storm. Unfortunately I arrived a few minutes too late to get the full effect. Nonetheless I was still able to get a few decent shots.
