Little girl trying to get a good look at our dog on our trip to Vermont. I blogged about it yesterday: commonplacebeautyphotography.blogspot.com/2015/08/iloverm...
What I actually intended to capture: a climbing structure in a playground, looking straight up through it.
Thanks to the zooming mistake leading to the previous photo, this time there even was a boy climbing up. :)

The Blue Angels doing a coordinated roll while flying by the crowd. One aircraft is slightly out of sync - it's rare to capture a moment of imperfection from them on camera.

Some years I don't see many Fall spiders but this year we're covered up. I've seen a lot of these big writing spiders.

This is for Kate's Brilliant Photo A Day Challenge - the theme is "a different point of view".
A temple chandelier. This was taken at Van Mieu Tran Bien, the Temple of Literature, Buu Long.
Tran Bien Temple of Literature, built in 1715 under King Nguyen Phuc Chu, was the first temple of its kind in the South. The temple is a place to honor Confucius. It also serves as an educational center.
Architecturally inspired by the Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature in Hanoi), the Tran Bien Temple of Literature was rebuilt twice in the Nguyen Dynasty and then destroyed by the French in 1861. It was restored in 1998 and the first phase was inaugurated during the Tet holidays in 2002.
Nestled near Buu Long Cultural Park, about three kilometers from the center of Bien Hoa City, the temple is emerging as a peaceful and silent space, with curved domes and majestic rooms under the shade of green trees standing in harmony with the surroundings.
The first sight in the temple is Van Mieu Mon (Mon temple of literary), a traditional stele house carved with the glorious epic of Vu Khieu about the process of building the country, building the temple, typical national revolutions as well as educational and cultural traditions of Bien Hoa City.
Tourists can also discover more about Vietnamese history in the tranquil setting of Tinh Quang Lake, as well as at Khue Van Cac, Dai Thanh Mon and especially the stele house of Confucius.
The most striking aspect of the temple is the Bai Duong sanctum, built in old style architecture with red-lacquered designs with parallel sentences hung on pillars. In the center is the altar of the Vietnamese late president Ho Chi Minh in front of a picture of a traditional bronze drum behind.
Eighteen kilograms of soil and 18 kilograms of water from Hung Temple symbolizing the 18 Hung kings and the origin of Vietnam were dispayed in the temple.
The temple also honors southern cultural icons such as Chu Van An, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Le Quy Don, Nguyen Dinh Chieu and Le Quang Dinh.
Biên Hòa is a city in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, about 20 miles (32 km) (30 kilometers) east of Saigon, to which Bien Hoa is linked by Vietnam Highway 1. In 1989 the estimated population was over 300,000. And now in 2005, population increased to 541,495, and some estimates show that the city has 604,548 people in 2007
Bien Hoa grew into a major suburb of Saigon (later renamed Ho Chi Minh City) as the capital city of South Vietnam grew. Following the First Indochina War, tens of thousands of refugees from the northern and central regions of Vietnam—a large portion of them Roman Catholics—resettled in Bien Hoa as part of Operation Passage to Freedom.
During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force operated Bien Hoa Air Base near the city. Nonetheless, a significant number of the city's residents sympathized with, or were members of, the Viet Cong. Mortar attacks on U.S. and ARVN targets were frequently staged from residential districts in Bien Hoa.
With regard to entertainment, the city includes several amusement parks, night clubs and restaurants lining the Dong Nai River. Construction has increased rapidly (with many Western-style houses and villas under development), and the real estate market has experienced a series of boom cycles since the mid-1990s. The retail market still includes the many ad hoc bazaar-type markets and shop-fronts common to most of Vietnam, but now also includes air-conditioned, enclosed shopping malls, one of which, a Big C branch, includes a KFC restaurant, a Western-style grocery store, a bowling alley and video arcade, among others.
I had never seen this slogan for Hard Rock Cafes before. I wonder if it's on all of them or just in Philadelphia?
Not exactly what I had in mind when I first thought up this prompt... but I'll take what I give myself. 16/52

a joke only francophones will really get, however it's meant to describe the effects of the wallpaper in our WC (the toilet is often in a seperate room in France...)
Needless to say, we will be painting over this soon, but I have to give them props for having installed the world's most hideous wallpaper on 5 out of 6 surfaces in this tiny tiny room. The effect is near psychedelic.

Down Among The Triffids
Encouraged by the promise of a sunny day, I took off to visit Hyde Hall gardens. I had a lovely wander around the grounds, making the most of the balmy weather. There isn't a lot of colour left in my garden by this time of year, but I managed to find some here - the Chinese Lanterns were beginning to go to seed, but I love their bright vibrant orange against the blue sky. Perfect for Treasure Hunt Theme #39 - A Colourful Garden. More info. Ref: D1101-333
