After the rain, I went out to my backyard to photograph. I saw our garage wall had gotten wet from the rain and thought it would be interesting for pictures. I like how it turned out....didn't know it would be so ominous.

Couldn't help sharing these. P and I spent a lot of time putting these together. T-minus six weeks!!!!!!
I took this at 6 in the morn at Merritt's Bakery before my flight. Foreshadowing much? CAKES KNOW EVERYTHING!
On quick observation, this shot might appear very similar to the last in the series. I can assure you of two things. First. Quick observation is often crap. And secondly, there are many hints in this shot as to the lengths you might go to solve some of the problems you'll encounter on the path to completing a book.
Notably near, is a drill with a very very fine bit. With a drill alone you are more likely to irreparably damage your project and possibly injure yourself. I guess I should come back to the drill later.
The extremely crafty among you will notice black buttons. I won't even hint at what I used them for in this project (photos will come in the new year) but bear this in mind. You can use almost anything to hold a book together. Buttons. Snaps. Rivets. Screws. Rope. Wire. Thread. Twist ties. Pipe cleaners. Old USB cable. Your own braided hair. Elastics. The braided hair of someone else ... you get the idea.
You should notice something that looks like a tape dispenser. It isn't. I don't suggest using much tape, unless it's archival and high quality. What you do see, is a glue dot dispenser. These little suckers can come in very handy. Very quick to use. I still question their longevity, and I'm pretty sure they aren't archival, but sometimes they solve problems that seem tricky to impossible any other way.
Now, look closely. On the very edges of this photograph, top left, you'll see an old piece of crappy, maple photocopied MDF. Upon this boring MDF scrap, is a book cover. On the book cover, my book block, consisting of one large signature. If you've been following along, you'll see the paper providing colour and logo support on the cover is used again here to wrap the left side of the book block. But on top of that ... ?
Wax paper. You can't see it at all. Very boring.
But on the wax paper is a trusty set of quick grip clamps. Only after you've clamped the ever loving hell out of your book should you ever conceive of using power tools. Power tools, like the aforementioned drill.
In the case of the button and thread binding (there, I said it) I've conceived of here, and in many others (Japanese stab, for instance) ... clamps and a drill will save your life. And your eternal soul.
I will return after the holidays with shots of the completed book. I hope somebody somewhere has gotten something out of this series. If you found any value at all, please drop a comment. If you'd like to see other project series like this one, shout it out-out-out-out here and let me know.
2013 Man of Steel Movie foreshadows Malaysia Flt 370. See youtube video Crazy! Exact Spot Flight 370 'Crashed' At In Indian Ocean Is Shown In Man of Steel!
jill brower rhoad. what i love most about this picture is that we barely knew each other in it. foreshadowing!
So, this is why people think that Art Department is odd.
Nothing foreshadowed such occurence, when SUDDENLY! Joe rode in on a My Little Pony Piñata wearing the pink cowboy hat and a golden mask (all pillaged from the "Charity Box" (aka rejected samples box)). He was, of course, The Fearsome (for many reasons) Alone Ranger, who punishes (oooh!) the guilty (and those who just swing that way), and after he's gone, he leaves a pink tube of KY instead of whatever the Lone Ranger tended to leave.
He pranced around long enough for some of us to finish laughing and bring out cameras, and then rode away, back to the printing room where he deposited the pink and gold items back in their proper box. Let no one say that we take what doesn't belong to us ^_^
East Louisiana - Summer 2014
In situ
This canebrake rattlesnake was found coiled, as shown, in the damp leaf litter, deep in a cycle of ecdysis. The first of six for the day, this was found less than 40yards from camp, about 10min after we started hiking, foreshadowing a very memorable day.
One of those shots that if you hesistate for even a second, are gone.
Walking around the temple and shooting, I am frustrated by the ever-changing light and look up. To see this ominous bank of clouds about to cover the sun.
Look, point, shoot - sometimes it's that simple.. and that hard.

Ahh the book club. I read the book this time! It was A Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. Good book overall, but I didn't like the fact that it was so predictable. Her format, the way she writes, the chain of events, the foreshadowing, was SO much like her other book My Sister's Keeper that it kind of made me not like the book. It was like eating a vanilla cake, and the next day eating chocolate cake except you realize that it's actually vanilla cake with food coloring.
I really enjoy going to the meetings. The ladies there are always super nice and it makes me happy that I'm part of such a fantastic community. Bonus is the fact that my parents are going to feel so welcome when they move down, they're absolutely going to love it here.
So my dad calls me at work to tell me that he was shredding documents in the paper shredder he bought and the thing blew up, caught on fire, and burned off his eyebrows. He's not hurt, thank goodness, but I can't stop picturing him with no eyebrows!
While he was at the store complaining about the shoddy merchandise he decided to buy an ipod too, so he was asking me which one to buy. One thing about my Dad. He LOVES techy stuff. Doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to use it or even needs it, he wants it. He always wants the expensive things too. "Should I buy the 8gig or 16gig ipod? The 16gig is better right?" I always try to talk him down, the guy listens to the same 5 Korean gospel CD's every day, what does he need 16gig's for?
The one great thing about my Dad's tech loving personality is that when I want something, he always suggests the latest and greatest. His motto is "don't buy cheap when it's going to get broken and you're going to pay more money to buy another one, just buy the right one the first time". Gotta love him =)
This is a supplemental to my "Origin of the States" narrative, the fourth supplemental in a Civil War sequence and the sixth overall. We'll call it part 35.6 of 50 in a sporadic series
Hey! The Civil War's over! We came through Hell and survived! So we must have solved the problems of institutional racism and the destabilizing nature of "states' rights" philosophy, right? Right?
Oh.
Abraham Lincoln beat ex-General George "Cement Foot" McClellan in the presidential election of 1864 and won a second term as the 16th President of the United States. At his inauguration four months later -- barely a month before Bob Lee sat down at Appomattox with U.S. Grant -- Lincoln stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and gave a speech about forgiveness. Yes, the war was ending, Lincoln said, and the Union would endure, but this wasn't a time for some Northern victory dance filled with triumphant celebration. The nation had been torn apart and punished for the evils of slavery, and there was no glory here to celebrate. It was time for North and South to come together and reconcile their differences. The last line of this speech is perhaps the most enduring. "With malice toward none," Lincoln said, "with charity for all ... let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
Some historians suggest Lincoln's conciliatory tone was meant to foreshadow the gentle path he planned to take toward the reunification of the country, a process that came to be known as "Reconstruction." Lincoln had two big tasks to accomplish with Reconstruction. One, he needed to figure out how to bring the rebellious states back into the national fold, and two, he had to figure out how to integrate four million suddenly freed slaves into the larger society. There was plenty of debate over what this Reconstruction would look like. The victorious Union leaders started looking for pounds of flesh while the beaten Confederates worked to spin defeat into whatever kind of half-victory they could muster. Many in the North thought they should exact harsh retribution against the South, and some wanted Confederate leaders hanged as traitors. Some questioned whether the privileges of true statehood should be returned to the secessionist states at all. But Lincoln had seen enough of anger, and he meant to have the nation bind together in peace.
How or whether he would have managed that, we'll never know. A mere six days after Lee surrendered to Grant, a disgruntled actor with Southern sympathies crept into a theatre balcony and shot Lincoln in the back of the head, ending the planned reconciliation of Lincoln's imagination. Lincoln had held the nation together, but other people would have to figure out what that meant. Ultimately, it all turned into a big mess, and a lot of things we'd fought a war to settle were never really worked out at all. We're still working a lot of it out today.
President Johnson
One of the weird things about the Civil War is that when it ended, a man from the losing side became President.
During Lincoln's first term, the vice president had been a man from Maine named Hannibal Hamlin. But though Hamlin spent his vice presidency working hard to help push Lincoln's legislative agenda through Congress, he and Lincoln had never been all that close. Hamlin was one of those guys who wanted to take a hard line that forced the Southern states to accept the reality of freed slaves as true citizens, but he was a little too extreme for Lincoln's agenda of gentle reconciliation. So Lincoln -- who I'll remind you was a Republican -- decided to replace Hamlin with Andrew Johnson, a Southern Democrat. Which, yeah, is kind of absurd.
Andrew Johnson had been a U.S. senator from Tennessee when the war kicked off, and he was the only one of the 22 Southern senators who didn't quit as soon as his home state seceded. He'd loudly voiced his opposition to secession in the days leading up to the war, and after Nashville fell to Union forces in 1862, he served as Tennessee's Union-appointed military governor. The way Lincoln saw it, having a guy like Andrew Johnson as his vice president would be a big step toward showing that "malice toward none" was more than just a sound bite.
The obvious risk with that scheme was that somebody might shoot Lincoln in the back of the head, leaving a Southern Democrat who had until just recently owned a bunch of slaves to handle Reconstruction.
That's the thing about Johnson. Sure, he'd been opposed to secession, and he worked hard trying to keep Tennessee in the Union, but he was a BIG fan of slavery and an even bigger fan of states' rights. He was the classic Southern racist, and he saw little reason for some minor disagreement like the Civil Freakin' War to motivate Southerners to change their ways. I mean, yeah, Southerners couldn't keep slaves any more (probably), but that didn't mean they had to treat black people like they were human or something.
Basically, Johnson's plan for Reconstruction was to have the former Confederate states welcomed back into the fold like nothing had ever happened, and he kicked things off by telling all the rebel states to go ahead and elect whatever state legislators and governors and U.S. congressmen and senators they wanted. Predictably, the Southern states were big fans of this approach, and they all elected a bunch of the same old people who'd held these offices before the war, some of whom had been actively shooting at Union soldiers only a few months earlier.
These new-old legislatures immediately started coming up with all sorts of ways to effectively keep slavery going while calling it something else. States across the South spent 1865 and 1866 inventing "Black Codes," which differed from state to state -- states' rights, you know -- but all had the goal of keeping freed slaves subservient to white society. Black people couldn't own buy, sell, or own property in most Southern states, and their movement was heavily restricted. The Southern states focused heavily on laws against "vagrancy" among freed slaves, which the law defined as simply not having a job recognized by white folk. Black people who didn't work enough could be arrested. Those convicted of vagrancy -- which was pretty much everybody arrested -- would then be sentenced to forced labor and doled out by counties or municipalities to private landowners as unpaid field hands. Which is a nicer way of saying, "slave."
The Northern reaction to this was also predictable, and Northerners in congress railed against President Johnson's so-called plan. I mean, come on, people, they said. We just fought a big ass war over this. They set about passing bills to force a harder line on the South, things like the Civil Rights Act of 1865 and the Freedmen's Bureau Bill, which created a federal agency to help integrate freed slaves into society. But Andrew Johnson vetoed all these bills, and Southern whites grew more and more bold. White folks rioted against freed blacks in places like Memphis and New Orleans. The first incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan appeared and started burning their first crosses and holding their first lynchings. (I guess the President figured there were good people on both sides.)
Radical Republicans
Things flipped in late 1866, when the November midterm elections filled Congress with an unbreakable majority of Radical Republicans. These were people more along lines of Hamlin than Lincoln, people who had always believed the South would only accept the Civil War's outcome when forced. Andrew's Johnson's attempt at easy Reconstruction had only proven the point, so now it was time for Reconstruction to turn radical.
The most immediate consequence of the election of 1866 was that the Radical Republicans had a large enough numerical majority to negate any Presidential veto, so they just overturned all the vetoes Johnson had issued the previous year. They refused to seat any elected representative from the South who had fought for the Confederate army, and they demanded that former Confederate states pass laws to guarantee the civil rights and safety of freed slaves as a condition of readmittance to the Union. They passed the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution granted freed slaves all the rights of full citizenship and prohibited states from denying them the right to vote, then forced the Confederate states to ratify the amendments. They passed the four Reconstruction Acts, which set down a whole slew of requirements for the Southern states to follow before they were readmitted, and divided the South into five administrative districts controlled by military occupation forces until the process was complete. This left 40,000 troops scattered across the Southern states for the purpose of quelling riots and protecting black people from the Klan. And when Andrew Johnson tried to weaken this military occupation by firing the Secretary of War, they impeached him. Johnson came within one senate vote of being the first and (still) only President to get fired by Congress.
The South could only stew in impotent rage as the Radical Republican roll continued through the election of 1868, which brought none other than former Union General U.S. Grant himself, killer of the Confederate cause, to the Presidency. And that wasn't even the worst of what democracy was bringing to the former Confederates in those days. The South's heavy dependency on slavery had left many Southern congressional districts with large black majorities, and black men who'd once been slaves started getting elected to national office. Mississippi even elected a black man to the United States senate in 1870, and then another in 1875.
Grant started out strong in the view of the Radical Republicans, creating the Justice Department to root out and prosecute Klan members and enforcing harsh military law on states (like South Carolina, of course) that refused to enfranchise blacks. But while the racism of Southern whites seemed to know no bounds, the altruistic urge of Northern whites to push for something resembling equality would only sustain itself for so long. Even a Northern abolitionist can only pretend to not be racist for so long. It didn't help that U.S. Grant turned out to be far better at running an army than a Presidential administration, and his second term devolved into the kind of scandal-plagued, corruption-coated turmoil that puts people at the bottom of "Top 18 Presidents" lists. Reconstruction in the Grant era turned into a battle of attrition, as Southerners sustained themselves on hatred as they tried to outlast Northern attention spans.
Reconstructed
The end of Reconstruction came suddenly, thanks to another Presidential election.
Grant's failures as President cost the Republicans dearly in the early 1870s, and Northerners shifted their attention away from memories of the Civil War and their vague attempts at civil rights toward the normal kinds of economic traumas that affect governments in more normal eras. The public that had once been enthusiastic about rebuilding and reforming the South had lost interest, and the election of 1876 -- pitting a New York Democrat named Samuel Tilden against a Republican from Ohio named Rutherford B. Hayes. Tilden had a long history of opposing slavery, but he'd also opposed using force against the South to prevent secession. With the end of the war now a decade past, Tilden felt it was time for the federal government to put Reconstruction to bed and focus on other issues. Southern whites swarmed to Tilden's side, and tried violence and intimidation and whatever shenanigans they could pull to keep black people from voting, with the final result being that four states had their electoral votes disqualified. This left Tilden with a clear advantage in both the popular and electoral vote, but without an electoral vote majority. And when that happens, the Constitution says the Congress gets to decide. But Congress was split; Republicans controlled the senate, while Democrats controlled the House of Representatives. Somebody somewhere was going to have to work out a deal.
The deal became the Compromise of 1877. Democrats wanted Reconstruction to end. Republicans wanted Rutherford Hayes to be President. So the Democrats agreed to give it to Hayes as long as Hayes and the Republicans gave up on Reconstruction. The Republicans were bored with Reconstruction by this time. The deal was a no-brainer.
What Did It All Mean?
With the official era of Reconstruction finally over in 1877, the final scars of the Civil War could finally be healed. But that sort of thing never heals completely. Government can move on and dance into the Gilded Age if it wants, but there's still going to be bitter white folks in the South seething over Yankee aggression fueled by an out-of-control federal government, and those folks will pass that bitterness down to their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren four generations removed. And there will still be poor black folks trying desperately to overcome the emotional and economic trauma of 10 generations of enslavement, unable to do much but bear the increased oppression those white folks imposed on them.
It should be one of the most obvious observations in the world that the Civil War didn't end racism, though I've known plenty of Southerners in my day who like to pretend otherwise. The end of Reconstruction allowed the rise of a different kind of racism, institutionalized this time by Southern states once more determined to assert their rights. Because when it comes to race, some states always want to assert their rights. The Constitution wouldn't let them permit slavery and it wouldn't let them deny anybody the right to vote based on race. But they could certainly make it damned hard for black people to exercise that right. They could certainly keep black people isolated, separate and not at all equal. The fight for racial equality, which should have been won in 1865, would have to be fought continuously for the next hundred and fifty years. It's still being fought today.
And what about all these states and their rights? What happened there?
Well, that fight continues on today, too, though the pendulum of power continues to swing between the nation and state. Wars and Depressions have push things Washington's way; free market economics push it the other. Sometimes that push may strengthen some (but never all) of the states. But it leaves the nation weaker and unable to respond in times of crisis. That may mean people go hungry. It may mean people suffer disease they didn't need to suffer, and states are forced to fight against each other for the resources they need to meet the threat.
But I risk getting current there, and this is a history series.
And next time, we'll go back to history. There's still fifteen more states to explore, and one of them doesn't even wait for the Civil War to finish to come on the scene ... though the war didn't have much to do with it. That one was all about money. Which, to be honest, plays a much bigger role in the origins of all these states from now on.
Consecration
In Leviticus, we see a foreshadowing of communion to come when God commands the priest to eat part of the sacrifice “for anyone who touches it will be consecrated.” The sacrifice was completely holy. It allowed the people to not die for another day. When the priest ate of it, he was made holy and set apart. Fast forward a couple thousand years. Jesus is the sacrifice. He is completely and altogether holy. He is the covering that the people don’t have to die. Here He stands, offering Himself, completely broken and poured out. He says, eat of Me. Drink of Me. For anyone who touches Me will be consecrated. And when we partake in the bread and the cup we are in communion, made one with Christ and set apart. The Hebrew word is Kadesh, which means holy.

The Eltrym Theate and 1906 Main Street double exposure. On the Eltrym's site, the Eltrym owners explain on the theater's website:
"The Eltrym Theater opened for business in June, 1940. Since that time, it has gone through a myriad of changes, including the addition of a concession stand, 2 extra movie screens with stadium seating and digital projection.
In 2008, the Eltrym was purchased by Dan & Teresa (Terry) McQuisten. Terry had worked at the Eltrym as a teenager and developed a love for the place. Dan and Terry bought the theater at the tender ages of 27 and 25, respectively, and signed the final loan docs just 5 months after being married. Dan & Terry both believe the Eltrym is an important part of Baker City's economy and sense of community."

New Year's eve in Olympic Plaza. Foreshadowing of things to come in 2013 as the Idle No More movement becomes public.
A male and female Coho Salmon prepare to mate. I wonder if they are aware that the carcass below is a foreshadowing of things to come.
Every year I visit Eagle Creek to witness the cycle of life and the end of the journeys of salmon to the Columbia Gorge, a journey we must all make in our own ways to our own final destinations. This year is no different, despite the changes in climate and the burnt slopes of Eagle Creek, Coho Salmon and other salmon return to their natal stream. The journey is difficult, and most don’t make it. Natural predators with jaws agape and humans with nets and hooks await in the open ocean and later in the river and along streams. They fight their way past dams and natural obstacles. Warming waters invite fungus and disease to eat away at their flesh. Those that are lucky enough to reach their destination, spend all their remaining energy to create a new generation and provide their best for its survival. All the while they are slowly dying and decaying while still alive.
Females dig depressions, called redds, on the stream beds to catch their eggs. The reds are carefully selected where stream flow is swift enough to provide adequate oxygen but not so swift that eggs wash away. Females become battered, especially their tails and fins as they arrange and tumble rocks with their tails. Males undergo even more physical changes than the females, dramatically turning color to a brilliant red, and they develop a hooked snout with pointed teeth. When it is time to mate, the male gently swims under the female, caresses her underside, causing her to eject her eggs, which settle between the rocks and pebbles that have been cleared of algae and loose debris, he then swims over the eggs and fertilizes them. They repeat this act over and over, and together they protect their redd from predators until they become too weak and then die. The male also does his best to keep competing males away as well.
Littering the stream are the bodies of those who came before them. In death they provide nourishment to the fry when they hatch, and nourish other creatures in the stream, in that way they live on. I wonder if the salmon see their fate in the bodies of those scattered along the stream and on shore, even on branches and rocks caught in place as the stream receded between rainstorms.
Concerning for me was the lack of fish this year, along with the lack of water. I hope that soon more sustaining rains will come providing easier access to this section of stream and beyond. For now, their travel is limited. Then hopefully there will be more fish, for all our sakes. All life is linked together.
After viewing the movie "Dutchman" - create an 30x40 vertical movie poster. The
poster should express graphically your feelings/interpretation of the movie.
Translate the characters, metaphors, foreshadowing, gender/sexual/racial
dynamics, setting, context, etc. typographically. Take into consideration
all the elements of the movie/story/characters. Think of the setting and
location - the cinematography, the moment in history. Think of space and the
relationship between the two main characters as a compass for your design
decisions. Can these elements be filtered through a modern lens? Or does one
need to design using the tools/vernacular within the context of the 1960¹s?
Imagery should be original imagery or imagery from the movie, i.e. video
captures or using your camera (or digital camera) to shoot images from off
the screen - NO STOCK OR WEB IMAGERY
The poster can be color or B/W. Final poster will mounted/trimmed on 3/16"
inch foam core.
A one page typed thesis and process book are also required and turned in
with final poster.
The movie poster must include the following copy:
1. Dutchman
2. a film by Anthony Harvey
3. a film adaptation of the play Dutchman by LeRoi Jones.
4. Al Freeman
5. Shirley Knight
6. ³...a dramatic shocker, it hits even harder on the screen than it did on
the stage.²
SLICK RICK
Slick Rick foreshadowed and epitomized the pimpster attitude of many rappers during the late '80s and early '90s, with gold chains, his trademark eye-patch, and recordings that were no less misogynistic -- "Treat Her Like a Prostitute," for example, became an underground hit in 1988, though it was justly criticized for its view of women. His 1989 album, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, was a certified-platinum classic. Treat Her like a Prostitute" became a sensation on the streets but R&B radio stations were understandably reluctant to play the track; instead, they pushed his duet with Al B. Sure!, "If I'm Not Your Lover," and it made number two in 1989. "Children's Story" hit the R&B Top Five that same year. Don't miss this your chance to see this legend grace the stage of Harpers with live backing band ECLECTIC COLLECTIVE

So I was thinking.....
Do you think that life foreshadows as much as books and movies do? Do you think it kinda just throws you little things and you should be able to know what's going to happen?
I'm thinking that it does. That there are things that happen and thoughts that occur that should warn you about whats going to happen in your future. I just feel like it.
But then again, it could also not, ya know? I'm not sure anymore. So, what do you think?
P.S it took a lot of video games and a fold up table to take this picture. If I knew how to put things in the comments, I would put the picture of all the games it took to make this happen.
1969 Jaguar E-Type Roadster
Chassis No.1R7050
Engine No. 7R1164-9
The evolution of the sublimely beautiful Jaguar E-Type was dictated by experience and the changes of a worldwide market. The first seven years of gradual change and improvement culminated in 1968 with the introduction of the Series II, a substantial redesign that also foreshadowed many of the attributes of the Series III V12 that entered production in 1971.
The iconic 4.2-liter six cylinder engine was little changed although a 25 percent higher capacity water pump was fitted to take advantage of the larger radiator air intake, better adapting the car to hotter climates. The chassis received bigger Girling brakes and reclining seats were now standard.
The Series II E-Type proved appealing to a wider market than the Series I cars because it solidified the grand touring elements of the E-Type by making it a much more comfortable and reliable car to drive.
1R7050: The numbers-matching example presented here is finished in opalescent silver with black hood and matching black leather interior hides. The comprehensive restoration on the E-Type was performed over the last 10 years with the aim of making it an outstanding driver in well presented quality cosmetic condition.
During the restoration process the entire engine was rebuilt, with all major and minor systems were serviced, rebuilt or replaced, including the brake, fuel, exhaust and electrical systems. The body was striped to bare metal, fitted as needed, primed, sealed, painted, base coat clear coat, color sanded and buffed. All brightwork was treated and re-plated. The cabin was fitted with new carpets, panels, seats and dash padding. The convertible top bows were revived and a new soft top was fitted. Accordingly, new wire wheels were also fitted with fresh tires.
Restoration servicing receipts are included in the sale, along with tools with roll, jack with case, Thor knock-off hammer, and Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate of Authentication.
Excellent Presentation!
A Strong and Reliable Driver!
5-Speed Transmission & Wire Wheels!
Accompanied by Tools, Jack & Hammer!
Hermes and the Infant Dionysius, a sculpture attributed to the great master Praxiteles, was found in the ruins of the Temple of Hera. The lines and beautiful finish seem to foreshadow the much later sculpture of David by Michaelangelo.

The Asian Koel (Eudynamys scolopacea), formerly also Common Koel, is a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes, which also includes such birds as the roadrunners, the anis, and couas. It is found from southern Asia, China, and into Australia. The subspecies found in the Philippines is sometimes known as the Philippine Koel. Like many cuckoos, it lays its eggs in other birds' nests.
The word koel also means "nightingale" in India because of the Indian Koel's melodious call. It is also colloquially known as the Rainbird or Stormbird in eastern Australia, as its call is supposed to foreshadow rain.

Posters foreshadowing the completion of one of a handful of échangeur projects that seem to be part of building a high-capacity ring road around the edge of Niamey. Fine, in my opinion, as long as the traffic doesn't want to get into town, but as far as I can tell that is exactly what most of the traffic in town does want to do. Besides, just to the top of this picture is the Place des Nations Unies, and just beyond that the Boulevard de la République begins, and as it passes the Presidential House it has been closed off for a few years due to security concerns - I can't actually see that changing any time soon, rendering this massive flyover almost completely pointless. Shame.
