Our guide for the Parliament and City tours. I forget her name, and don't seem to have recorded it in our trip notes either.
Great guided tour of the Central Library Manchester for our Photo society.
Here we are in the contentious glazed 'link' between the Library and the Town Hall extension looking towards St Peter's Square. Contentious because of the cost (£4.5m) and the distorting reflecting ceiling.
But everyone seemed to be taking photos of it - not just us!
On Tuesday afternoon, I took a self-guided tour of the Aria Fine Art Collection, which spans the Aria property itself and several neighboring sites/buildings in CityCenter. I had difficulty finding Stop 7 on the tour (I ended up finding it later in the day), so I proceeded to Stop 8 on the tour: this enormous sculpture located in Harmon Circle, near the entrance to the Vdara. The work is titled ''Big Edge'' and was created by artist Nancy Rubins. I ended up taking several shots of the sculpture from different angles; this one faces west toward the adjacent parking garage.
A few details on the work according to the Aria Fine Art Collection mobile app:
Big Edge
Nancy Rubins
(American, b. 1952)
2009
Stainless steel and aluminum
Big Edge is a visually stunning, large-scale sculpture cantilevering 75 feet in length and 57 feet in width. Finessed into a gravity-defying form that is both delicately balanced and precisely engineered, Big Edge is supported by a steel armature and built of aluminum rowboats, canoes, and other small vessels. These boats are connected with thousands of pounds of stainless steel wire cable forming a web-like structure, where compression and tension create what Buckminster Fuller referred to as tensegrity, making the whole stronger than the parts. Each boat was precisely placed according to Rubins' direction based on its color, shape, and structural contribution to the whole.
Rubins is a sculptor known for seemingly precarious works created from salvaged, industrial consumer goods, including monumental sculptures consisting of airplane parts, electrical appliances, mattresses, and cakes, as well as boats. Her work has been represented in major exhibitions in the United States and Europe.

Day 25
It was a rainy night in Downtown Huntsville. I walked around trying to get a picture to capture the mood and I really liked the lamp posts they have on the side walks!

USS Halsey (DDG-97) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. Halsey is named in honor of Fleet Admiral William Frederick "Bull" Halsey Jr.
USS Russell (DDG-59) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy. She is the second ship of the USN to carry the name Russell and is named for Rear Admiral John Henry Russell and his son, Commandant of the Marine Corps John Henry Russell, Jr..
The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers (DDGs) is the United States Navy's first class of destroyer built around the Aegis Combat System and the SPY-1D multi-function passive electronically scanned array radar. The class is named for Admiral Arleigh Burke, the most famous American destroyer officer of World War II, and later Chief of Naval Operations. The class leader, USS Arleigh Burke, was commissioned during Admiral Burke's lifetime.
They were designed as multi-mission destroyers to fit the anti-aircraft warfare (AAW) role with their powerful Aegis radar and surface-to-air missiles; anti-submarine warfare (ASW), with their towed sonar array, anti-submarine rockets, and ASW helicopter; Anti-surface warfare (ASUW) with their Harpoon missile launcher; and strategic land strike role with their Tomahawk missiles. With upgrades to their to AN/SPY-1 phased radar systems and their associated missile payloads as part of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, members of this class have also begun to demonstrate some promise as mobile anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite weaponry platforms.
Some versions of the class no longer have the towed sonar, or Harpoon missile launcher. Their hull and superstructure were designed to have a reduced radar cross section. The first ship of the class was commissioned on 4 July 1991. With the decommissioning of the last Spruance-class destroyer, USS Cushing, on 21 September 2005, the Arleigh Burke class ships became the U.S. Navy's only active destroyers; the class has the longest production run for any post-World War II U.S. Navy surface combatant. Besides the 62 vessels of this class (comprising 21 of Flight I, 7 of Flight II and 34 of Flight IIA) in service by 2013, up to a further 42 (of Flight III) have been envisaged.
