The baby is five years old today ... so I guess she's no longer a baby. But then again, I think she'll always be my baby. She's a joy: pretty well goes thru life in a good mood.
Taken a few minutes ago, the walls were starting to close in on me so had to get out. It's a lovely evening but quite a few people out and about on the canal so was glad to get back home. It felt good to stretch my legs :-)
5Pointz Aerosol Art Center, Inc. is an outdoor art exhibit space in Long Island City, New York, considered to be the world’s premiere “graffiti Mecca,” where aerosol artists from around the globe paint colorful pieces on the walls of a 200,000-square-foot factory building.
The name 5Pointz signifies the five boroughs coming together as one but, because of its reputation as an epicenter of the graffiti scene, the industrial complex has actually united aerosol artists from across the world. Legendary writers from Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, and all over the United States have painted on the building walls, including Stay High 149, Tracy 168, Cope2, Part, and Tats Cru.
Over the past decade, the striking, graffiti-covered warehouse has attracted several hip-hop and R&B stars, including Doug E. Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Kaz, Mobb Deep, Rahzel, DJ JS-1, Boot Camp Clik, Joan Jett, and Joss Stone.
On any given day, 5Pointz visitors can expect to find prominent artists, musicians, deejays, Emcees (rappers), and B-boys (break dancers) on site, in addition to filmmakers, photographers, and entire tour buses full of admirers soaking in the more than 350 Technicolor murals.
The gallery curator is graffiti veteran Jonathan Cohen, best known by his signature tag, “Meres One.” His goal is to convert the five-story, block-long industrial complex at Jackson Avenue and Davis Street, formerly the Phun Phactory, into a graffiti art museum.

FIVE 5TAGES STARTED AS AN ARTISTIC COLLABORATION BETWEEN KIRIAKO IATRIDIS AND BRIANNE URZADA. IN MARCH OF 2013, AT THE AGE OF TWENTY THREE, BRIANNE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE THREE HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA. DURING HER FOURTH ROUND OF CHEMOTHERAPY SHE AND KIRIAKO DECIDED TO DOCUMENT HER BODY AND EMOTIONS. EACH IMAGE REPRESENTS ONE OF THE FIVE STAGES OF GRIEF AS WRITTEN BY KÜBLER-ROSS (DENIAL, ANGER, BARGAINING, DEPRESSION AND ACCEPTANCE).
IN 2015, AFTER BEING IN REMISSION FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS, BRIANNE AND KIRIAKO DECIDED TO PUT THE IMAGES TO GOOD USE. THEY HOSTED AN ART AUCTION AT KIRIAKO’S STUDIO, SELLING THE FIVE 5TAGES PRINTS, AND AN ORIGINAL PAINTING BY BRIANNE. AS WELL AS A FEW DONATED PIECES BY OTHER ARTISTS. THE EVENT WAS SUCCESSFUL AND HAS RAISED OVER $60,000 FOR THE HOSPITALS OF REGINA FOUNDATION.
TODAY, BRIANNE IS STILL CANCER FREE, AND TOGETHER WITH HER HUSBAND ERIC, ARE RAISING THEIR NEW LITTLE BOY, WINSTON.

Rose and Dylan. Back in May my year had our last days of school before GCSEs. That means our last days in uniform, our last days in our forms and the end of five years.
Bingley Five-Rise locks are situated on the Leeds-Liverpool canal, 16 miles from Leeds and 110 miles from Liverpool, in the town of Bingley, just outside Bradford.
The locks were built in 1774 by four local stonemasons and were designed by John Longbottom of Halifax.
Somewhat uniquely, the five locks are joined together, where the higher gate of the lower lock serves as the lower gate of the next (you would normally expect to see a series of individual locks with two gates each). The locks span 320 feet and raise boats over 59 feet from top to bottom.
The locks won a National Heritage award in 1975 and were the North West regional winner of the Canal and Riverside Trust's Waterway Length Competition in 1993.
