For this weekend assignment, we had to arrange a still-life applying Gestalt principles to form a concept/theme using at least nine separate objects.
This week we switched to using pencils which I am more comfortable with, but it was a bit of a challenge to cover this size. Standing up while using pencil is still a bit awkward though. :)

Secor, left, works with Raymond Daves, Boeing systems engineering, during his TWI assignment. Formerly an APM in PEO Aviation, Secor spent 11 months with Boeing in Huntsville, AL, through the TWI program. Most noteworthy for him were his work with the Boeing Space Launch system and the close relationships Boeing employees have with their clients. (Photo by Photo. by Eric Shindelbower, Boeing Co.)
The phrase “digital divide” represents an issue that is happening at both the international and national level, and in both cases it stands for the widening gap of knowledge between those who have access to the internet and those who don’t, as well as all those in between.

Appearance: The Egyptians had extended knowledge of the night sky and the stars above. The circumpolar stars (the set of stars that seemed to "orbit" the North Star through the course of the night and thus never dipped below the horizon) were called the "Imperishable Ones". Most of the brighter stars were named by the Egyptians and they named thirty-eight constellations. These constellations were used to divide the night sky into "decans" (from the Greek word for "Ten"). The decans were called "the thirty-six gods of heaven and each ruled for ten-days each year.
The Egyptian symbol for the stars was a symbol five-pointed line drawing, resembling the sea stars (aka "starfish") that inhabited the Red Sea. In older examples, the drawing has rounder ends and the center is marked by two concentric rings. Egyptian star charts and decan tables often used dots or circles, as well as the hieroglyph.
Meaning: The infinite and unchanging nature of the stars overhead influenced the development of the Egyptian calendar and their beliefs regarding the life after death. Every Egyptian temple was a complex model of the cosmos and thus many images of the stars, constellations and stellar deities grace temple ceilings. In instances where the night sky was charted on the ceiling, brighter stars were sometimes designated by circles - like the sun disks. In decorative uses, the sky hieroglyph and the body of the sky-goddess Nut was decorated with five-pointed stars.
It was believed that the stars did not just inhabit this world, but in the Duat (land of the afterlife) as well. The Egyptians believed that the ba might ascend to the sky to live as a star in heaven. Many tombs also featured deep blue ceilings dotted with bright yellow stars in the exact image of the hieroglyph in hopes to make the ba feel at home in its new dwelling place. The stars were called the "Followers of Osiris and represented the souls in the underworld. The five-pointed star within a circle was the Egyptian symbol of the Duat.

I took about 60 photos trying to get perfect sunset in the forest photos and none of them turned out right. Alot of them had flare or didn't me positioned with the sunset correctly or looked too dark. I know now how to improve on the picture next time. There isn't anything special about this photo, I just wanted to use it as I didn't want to post one of the bad ones.
