Each summer, the Fashion Center BID and the DOT Urban Art Program select an artist to present artwork along Broadway between 36th and 41st Streets in Manhattan. This year, international artist Xin Song presented "Five Elements," a series of five eight-foot tall glass art fixtures. On one side of the structure, the artist implemented traditional Chinese paper-cut techniques creating forms out of site-specific photographs of the neighborhood, and on the reverse side, the artist created silhouettes out of black paper reminiscent of the wrought iron filigree elements found in historic New York City architecture.
The configuration of both paper-cuts formed new images that represented the five elements: water, fire, wood, metal and earth. Together, the structures were an exploration of environmental and personal transformations in New York City's surroundings. A corresponding floral pattern was painted in circular patterns on the plaza pavement to complement the exhibit.

Located in the Staines memorial gardens by the Thames, just behind the old Town Hall (now a pub), the 'Five Swimmers' by David Wynne is a very valuable sculpture that was originally the centrepiece of the Elmsleigh Centre Shopping Centre when it was opened by the Queen in 1980.
It was removed from the shopping centre and went missing for many years (allegedly it was left abandoned in a stone-yard) before finding it's new resting place here.
David Wynne was born in London in 1926, and seems to have had no formal art training. His figurative sculpture concentrates on movement, and includes most notably 'Girl With Doves' (1970), 'The Dancers' (1971) and 'Dancer with Bird' (1975), all to be found in Cadogen Square Gardens. Other works in London are 'Girl with a Dolphin' Chelsea Bridge and 'Boy with a Dolphin', the latter being at the Chelsea School of Art.
Wynne is also credited with designing the 'joined hands' on the modern 50 pence piece to represent European accord.
Scenes for the CBS television series Hawaii Five-O were shot in an apartment complex next door. Production trucks were parked in our driveway, and their generator was running in our parking area. They were scheduled to start at 5:00 am.

The Nemours Estate is a 300-acre country estate with jardin à la française formal gardens and a French neoclassical mansion in Wilmington, Delaware. Built to resemble a French château, its 105 rooms on five floors occupy nearly 47,000 sq ft. It shares the grounds at 1600 Rockland Road with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and both are owned by the Nemours Foundation.
Nemours was created by Alfred I. du Pont in 1909–10 as a gift for his second wife, Alicia. It was named for the north-central French town of Nemours, which was affiliated with his great-great-grandfather, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours. Carrère and Hastings designed the mansion, which is in the Louis XVI style of French architecture.
The house contains rare 18th-century French furniture and an eclectic collection of notable antiques, works of art and tapestries. Artworks range from 16th-century religious works to paintings by the European masters to early works by Americans Frederic Remington and Sidney Lawrence.
Of particular interest is a rare Louis XVI musical clock, circa 1785, by David Roentgen and Peter Kinzing, which plays four tunes on a dulcimer and pipe organ. Another clock at the mansion with a connection to French royalty is one made for Marie Antoinette, which she never received.
The mansion also has a chair from the 1937 coronation of King George VI, an event which was attended by Alfred I. du Pont's third wife Jessie, and a chair from Independence Hall. Alfred I. du Pont's own portrait is also in the mansion.
The estate has the most developed and largest jardin à la française (French formal garden)-style landscape park and collection of individual gardens in North America. The design is patterned after the gardens of Versailles surrounding the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles. Their central axis extends ⅓ of a mile from the mansion facade, paralleling the main avenue leading to the house. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with plantings, fountains, pools, a carillon tower, statuary, and a pavilion surrounded by naturalized woodlands.
The named features include:
The Boxwood Garden – French parterre garden with boxwood edging and a central faun fountain.
The Colonnade (1926) – memorial to Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours and his son Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, designed by Thomas Hastings.
The Maze Garden – a maze garden with main hedges of Western Arborvitae 'Spring Grove', inner hedges of Japanese Barberry 'Crimson Pygmy', and central statue of Achievement, by Henri Crenier, atop a base with images of Triton and Neptune's face.
The Reflecting Pool (1 acre) – 40 feet in diameter, with 157 jets, backed by Japanese cryptomeria, pink flowering horse chestnut, and pin oaks.
The Sunken Gardens – designed by Alfred Victor du Pont and Gabriel Masséna. Features large lake, grottoes, and 1930 statue by Charles-Marie Sarrabezolles (1888–1971). A. V. du Pont (1900–1970) was the only son of the owner and an architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The Temple of Love – in classical style, with life-sized statue of Diana (1780) by Jean-Antoine Houdon.
The Nemours mansion and gardens reopened its gates on May 1, 2008, after closing in 2005 for a 3-year, $39 million renovation. The work, commissioned by the Nemours Foundation, was performed by world-class conservators, artisans and craftspeople who refurbished furniture, fabrics, tapestries, interior finishes, paintings, and sculptures. The comprehensive reconstruction included replacing the entire electrical system, draining and repairing the 800,000-gallon reflecting pool, and landscape restoration of the extensive formal gardens plantings, constructed design elements, and statuary.

Somalia has a population of around 10 million.Dry savannah plains and the longest coastline in Africa has been the backdrop for over fifteen years of civil war in Somalia. Conflict and instability has inevitably led to widespread poverty and large numbers of refugees and displaced people. Around 43% of the population survives on less than $1 a day and 73 % live on less than $2 per day - food shortages contribute to high rates of malnutrition, especially among children. Only 2 % of Somalia’s land is suitable for arable farming and drought has worsened the.
Key Facts
Somalia has a high incidence of tuberculosis and malaria, along with infectious diseases such as acute watery diarrhoea.
In 2011, the plight of the Somali people was exacerbated by the worst drought in six decades, with famine declared in 6 of the 8 regions of South Central Somalia
According to UNOCHA only 30% of the population in Somalia has access to improved drinking water sources and only 28% have access to health care services.
Our Work
Al Mustafa Welfare Trust started its operations in Somalia in 2010 with local partner organisations. With low cost techniques, which can be the best in terms of local needs and resources. We engaged local communities to participate in digging and building process of water wells. This helps us to reduce the labour cost and communities feel responsible and have sense of ownership for their projects they had involved in all stages of the work. Our aim is to provide long term solutions at very low costs. We also started training to local people to maintain the water wells to provide and to ensure the long term maintenance of the projects.
Whereas, in some area where the need was too urgent and sever we have been supplying water to refugees’ camps through water tankers. There are five areas where our water well projects has been initiated and in some areas completed including Southern Bakool, Lower Shabelle, Mogadishu, Karunat Daladda Barakacayaash and Hosh.
Impact
55 water well installed
Over 150,000 benefited from water wells and water tanks supply

Ellie's Dad is learning how to groom his girl. I've been ribbing him for cutting off the girls eyebrows and eyelashes. Here is my version of "stockings" that should never be on my boy Julian. Hey I was learning.

It is sort of a kit supercar. Factory Five builds the frame, body and some other parts. You then use suspension, engine and drive train parts from a 1997-2004 Corvette C5, plus a Porsche G50 or Mendeola trans. You end up with a rear engine car 1000lbs lighter than a vette, with 505hp (if you put in the LS7). So for about $60k you end up with a car that can out handle an Enzo and out accelerate pretty much anything. The kit goes for $25k. Factory Five makes some other models besides this.
Five months today since our first dance, my sweet, precious, beautiful wife. I love you so much ♥♥♥♥♥X

Great ride. Super Cool inside, inside temperature is 15-degrees Celsius...while outside temperature is at 32-degrees Celsius. Nice leg-room space, especially on this first row seat where i sat.
Not all of us have had cash-handling jobs... and/or blacklights.
But money is only worth so much. Hidden value adds nothing.
Denver, C0-The 6th annual Mayhem Festival made a stop at Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village, Colorado on July 7th, 2013. The 2013 lineup included Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon, Amon Amarth, Machine Head, Job for a Cowboy, Butcher Babies, Children of Bodom, Emmure, Born of Osiris and many more.
Whilst taking this shot I realised my wellies were no longer waterproof. That didn't mean I was going to sacrifice the shot though.
"Das Geleucht" - das Teil heißt wirklich so:
www.halden.ruhr/halde-rheinpreussen.html
Die Halde Rheinpreussen bietet einen grandiosen Rundblick über Duisburg, Moers und den Rhein.
Das Geleucht gehört irgendwie als Motiv dazu, wenn man im Pott wohnt.
Hier bei Flickr gab es schon 468 Bilder über das Motiv, jetzt gibt es eben eins mehr :) ...
Just ahead of the peloton there came a convoy of police motorbikes. Most of them were quite cheery, waving at the crowd and in a few cases giving hi-fives.
The badge of this motorbike is somewhat obscured, but it looks similar to a later shot I've got of a Norfolk Constabularly rider. As Fi is from Norfolk, she was quite pleased by that. It's an example of how other police forces (than the Met. and Surrey Police) have contributed people and vehicles to the London 2012 organisers.
It's been five years since I last visited Ballinbreich Castle, which lies on the southern banks of the Tay estuary between Newburgh and Flisk. The castle has lay in a ruinous state since the 19th century when it's owners, the Dundas family ended up investing time and money into Leslie House, allowing Ballinbreich Castle to fall into a state of disrepair.
I was hoping to capture this scene on a nice day but until I can get back there in sunny conditions, this will have to suffice as my outside of the building photo. This castle would have been very grand when it was in use and inside, you can still see remnants of former spiral staircases, old fireplaces and evidence of the chapel that was located within the castle walls.
