...because that's how big brothers are meant to make you feel. I always think cameras should be in your face, not perched so far on top of a building that no one notices them. When they're hidden, we forget how much of a big brother, police state we live in.
Chili Relleno -- poblano chili stuffed with cheese and meat, dipped in egg batter and fried. Served with white rice, beans, and of course the everpresent corn (maize) tortillas.
Gorse fires are worse than usual this year. Fire services are totally stretched; the strong winds and dry grasses have made the smell of burnt bogland everpresent, plumes of smoke and falshes of orange in the distance no longer novel. When the rain returns we will forget, and retreat back to the old complaints.
My everpresent little pink and white furry evil genius companion, Horatio Fang the mouse-thing. He accompanied me on this holiday in order to get an idea how the Romans, whom he holds in great regard (largely for the whole Gladiator thing), lived.
Don't be fooled by the cuteness. No, really. Don't.
He's decided that Herculaneum is to be his base and Kingdom when he takes over the world. He said he didn't want Pompeii to be his base because it was too big. Herculaneum is far more his sort of size. Because he's tiny.
Graffiti is everpresent in the subway system, but this station had more of it than the others I'd seen. There were times that I looked around me and wondered if the station was managing to stay more than a half-step ahead of the chaos of vandalism. It was difficult to repress the sneaking suspicion that I was actually on a movie set of an Abandoned Subway Station.
Brushing my teeth helps the awful taste that my stomach has decide to give me.
Of course, brushing my teeth irritates the cough I have developed. So Who knows when I'll figure this pattern out.
The last straw.
Are you kidding me? This is why I don't spend time in Times Square. A lot of people come to Kyoto instead of Tokyo or Osaka precisely to escape this.
Does anyone honestly come to Kyoto looking for this? Does anyone actually enjoy or appreciate this? This fake, pandering, touristy mockery of a "traditional" Japanese cultural neighborhood? The native Kyotoites I'm sure must hate it - they'd like nothing better than for all the tourists to go away so they can live their refined, historical Imperial Capital lives in peace.
I especially "like" the geisha silhouette on the far right, and the blatantly fake (metal?) red globe lanterns.
At least they used the local Kyoto-ben phrase "okoshiyasu" (おこしやす) instead of the overly generic, everpresent, and ingenuous "youkoso" (ようこそ).
clickclickclick. this guy (and his twins) were everpresent on the sidewalks of the strip. they would snap their little "escort cards" in their hands and jab them in front of you. a new click for each person. clickclickclick. $39 for one girl to your hotel room and $75 for 2! i have a nice collection of cards i plan to make into postcards. want one?
These type of shoe shine stands are everpresent in Hossana. Given the degree of mud during this rainy season (many months), their presence is either foolhardy or smart like a fox..
Yesterday, when the weatherman said, "possibility of rain on Saturday", and I saw on my Google Homepage the single word "Storm" superimposed on a graphic cloud, I was unimpressed.
But the thunder I heard this morning was encouraging, so I stepped inside to analyse my chances for making it to the lake on the trail without getting my camera wet (a disaster in 2008 had convinced that I'd never want that to happen again).
I was greeted by the sparkling residue from a very small shower, along with the lovely aroma of damp earth.
A vibrant, "Flickring" light display was being projected from the pond surface to the rocks, and I was inspired to video! (An exceedingly rare inspiration for me).
One must squint to barely notice the sparkling reflections which were the intended subject, but I thought that the morning bird songs were enough to compensate, so I present the experience, Willie's everpresent mudbucket and all!
Sara finds some wild bougainvillea and decorates her handlebars. We have finally found the ease that I thought would be everpresent in Baja. It seems obvious now, but you only have the ease you bring with you.
Our flat was in Silema - Bishop Cariorlana (?) Street. We were on the top floor, above us was a fabulous ( for a small boy) roof terrace. Note the everpresent newspapers ....
A massive inversion layer in Hope Valley today. THis is mid aftfernoon, by which time I'd have expected everything to have burnt off. This shot is taken almost into the sun, so it's a bit contrasty. THe ND grad has fixed the everpresent layer of pollution on the horizon, giving a 'nice' pinkish layer.
The everpresent construction crane standing over North Hills, east of Six-Forks Road. This is an HDR rendering of the photo
Looking down Swaledale from Park Bridge. The seemingly everpresent mist and barn.
And of course the obligatory Sheep.
I was on my way to lifeisajourney's place when, ahead of me, I saw this. I grabbed my (everpresent, these days) camera and managed to get off two shots before I was on him (the "islander"). All this was done, I might add, while trying to drive. I'm unsafe.
Rainy weekend on the Hudson River, spent in Tarrytown. The Tappan Zee Bridge was everpresent in the mist, floating over the river like a cloud.
The Harry Jerome statue stands an everpresent watch as he sprints past the skyscrapers of downtown Vancouver from his spot in Stanley Park.
He makes little sucking motions with his mouth while he sleeps. It kills me. (and that's the sound of the everpresent white noise machine in the background.)

Zanzibar is famous for the elaborate door carvings. I was walking around the residential areas of Stonetown and spotted this doorway, the green reflecting the everpresent mould which gives Stone Town its ancient run-down feel

Natasha Corrett of honestlyhealthyfood.com gets together with the fine people of Teapigs to run a matcha masterclass in the everpresently hip and ever evolving Boxpark, Shoreditch. Asides from the masterclass itself (which was a one off event), the pop up is full of matcha Kit Kats (Japanese Import), matcha bread (brown bread infused with matcha), gluten free matcha cake, tea (obviously) and other stuff I probably forgot about. If you have a matcha fetish, go take a look.
I’m not sure how long the popup is gonna be there for, but I’m pretty sure it’s a short lived phenomenon. According to the guys at Teapigs, this is an experiment, they’ve never tried running a physical shop before.
Ho ! Look who's back ? ;-)

Not a big house, a market or a company's building without its spirit house. At first, it is a place to make offerings to the memory of ancesters ... and then, it is believed to be a much nicer house for the everpresent ghosts to stay, much better than to hang around and bother people in their own house !

After our safari, we headed to Tanzania, for a 3 day/2 night camping and hiking trek on Kili. Here you can clearly see Kibo peak with its everpresent snow on top
The summer monsoon rains are everpresent...dark clouds seem to always hang over the city, ready to burst. Gear: HTC Desire / Vignette for Android.
That's what it looks like... maybe it was a 1 litre milk carton. Either way, it is not the kind of thing a casual litterbug would have while taking a walk. Oh, and one or maybe two of the everpresent plastic water bottles.
Beautiful wooden architecture. The stage alone, with its heavy wooden pillars, and certain other elements, is meant to evoke the idea of being in a forest, coming across a clearing, and witnessing spirits or gods dancing. Most Noh theatres I've been to are very brightly lit, and are very modern spaces in the style of the chairs and walls and such. The dark wood, the everpresent wood throughout the design of the room/building, really helps further evoke that idea of the forest.
