China's airport can be a lonely place. This was photographed in the middle of the day and yet not a soul to be seen anywhere.
I am tagged by Ravi . Now it’s my turn... :-(
Here are my 16...
1. I am still thinking about next 15 points... :P
2. By profession I am software engineer, I got passion for photography from my dad, before buying DSLR I used to click photos from his Pentax film SLR.
3. I am from Jaipur (Pink City), Rajasthan - land of forts, palaces and great worriers... I came to Bangalore in Nov, 2006.
4. I write diary, not everyday but whenever am tensed and disturbed; jotting down everything in my diary makes me feel better.
5. When I was about 8, I used to take my dad's razor for practicing how to shave... :D but now I only shave once or twice a month.
6. When I was 6 I set my Aunt's house on fire…. luckily no one was injured and fire was controlled in time.
7. Other then photography I have addiction for playing games.... I play everyday for almost 3-4 hours on my Xbox.

Empty Sky is a memorial installation to the events of 9/11. The two walls situated in Liberty State Park, NJ are orientated to face the site of the Towers. Upon the two walls the names of all 746 victims are etched in 4 inch high letters. In the foreground are two steel beams that survived the devestation.
the memorial plaque reads;
"Let this memorial reflect the legacies of those whose lives were lost, that their unfulfilled dreams and hopes may result in a better future for society. Their unique qualities and characteristics enriched our lives immeasurably and through this memorial, their stories live on."

Crossroads Center, formerly the Bloomington-Normal Factory Stores. Perhaps the worst outlet mall in history. Completed in 2 phases in 1995. It had some of usual outlet stores, Nike, Bass Shoes, VF Outlet. But never had the big upscale outlet draws. Located at I-55/74 and Market St Illinois 9, it is on the opposite side of town from Veterans Parkway, the main retail strip in Bloomington/Normal. The mall itself has two building surrounding the parking lot, making it look like a giant square. However the main opening is on a hard to get to frontage road while the easier entrance on Wylie Dr is a narrow driveway that barely squeezes between the mall buildings. Located on a hill next to I-55/74, you can barely see the mall from the interstate; only the outer store on the south building.Place was never more than half full. Sold to a company that is turning the mall into business condos. Bloomington Illinois

Sunny and Warm - Summer is in the building
Imax
Bournemouth Borough Council bought the waterfront building from long leaseholders Nilgosc for about £7 million in 2010. It will cost another £2 million to have it demolished. The authority had hoped to keep the structure, but to lower it by 25ft ( 8 mtr ) and turn it into an all-weather leisure centre or cultural attraction. John Beesley, leader of Bournemouth council, said demolition work would not begin until after the holiday season and it was hoped the work would be finished by summer 2013. The building opened as an Imax cinema in 2002 despite protests from residents against the plans.
Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.
Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.
Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.
Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.
Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.
The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.
With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.
