The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
Miss Lily has seen many snowmen on flickr and wondered about them so we started by reading this book. Miss Lily thinks the snowman here looks a lot like Aunt Owwee's man They both like bright hats.

A third entry for the ABS Builder Challenge finale, hosted by InnovaLUG. #azureblueftw
The crafty seed part was used 5 times, and it's pretty obvious how. This build was definitely not paintstaking. . .
In honor of my father, who taught me how to paint, and had to deal with my crazy painting skills / mistakes. A big shout out to all you fathers out there who help teach young men these skills!

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.
My daughter Paige trying reading up to try and get herself out of Auto and into manual settings, doing really well so far but like most people it takes alot of practice and patience.
Hope you enjoy and many thanks for everyone viewing, faves and commented on any of my images have a great day :)
A great moment of life is seeing wild animals in their own natural habitat. Cannot beat it, and very addictive.
Just back from 'Tour de Bear' in the Canadian Rockies, Western Canada. Very tired, but some absolutely beautiful wildlife moments and worth every minute we put in. And there were a lot of minutes too, with us spending hour after hour, and day after day looking for wildlife.
Also, met a number of great photographers around our trip. All out in the golden hours searching for these charismatic animals.
Two siblings black bears, one black and one brown in colour. We named these bears Lilly and Marshall
Not really. The only reason this Grizzly Bear was being a little tolerant of a Coyote was that there were two Bison carcasses to feast on.
This is todays attempt at capturing the RHTT. The morning had been quite pleasant with periods of sun however by the time this was taken torrential rain had set in. Within 45 minutes the sun was back out for a chunk of the afternoon - just the way things work out!!
I should have used manual focus for this as juggling an umbrella and trying to keep the rain out of the camera proved too big a challenge and the rain seems sharper than the train. Overall it sums up the scene quite well.

Ten days ago I posted an image of a female Hyena teaching her sibling how to play with a stick. It didn't take the youngster long to find out what to do with it.

Soooo I’m on a business call when I look up and see my bbg finally getting on her bike she cut up on Easter for. It took JaCari being home and outside with her to actually get on the bike. I love moments like this with my kiddos. Guess we going for ice cream and the zoo

"Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I…"

This one is a bit personal, both the image and the lyrics…so please be gentle with me!! :)
We can’t always physically travel, but we can mentally visit any place & time through #learning ... My mom unfortunately can’t travel but she loves travel programs & enjoys just as much as if she was actually there.
Leonard: Why are you learning Chinese?
Sheldon: I believe the Szechuan Palace has been passing off orange chicken as tangerine chicken, and I intend to confront them.
Leonard: If I were you, I'd be more concerned about what they're passing off as chicken.

wish you a wonderful weekend :)
NEW: "i love your work 4"
Walking along the Schuylkill River near boathouse row, we got to see these longboat rowers learning how to work together
Like a baby bird taking it's first flight... this is how I feel about SP's (it's terrifying). But thanks to the encouragement and inspiration from you guys, I keep trying. And I won't delete this one (I just have to keep telling myself that). :-)

“When you have come to the edge of all the light you have
And step into the darkness of the unknown
Believe that one of the two will happen to you
Either you'll find something solid to stand on
Or you'll be taught how to fly!”
~Richard Bach
Thank you for the lovely comments on my previous post. My Mom was thrilled by all the sweet birthday wishes.

This shot really defined the moment when I realised that I needed to move on to the d7000 I have now. This otter was feeding close to shore and when I saw her heading in I had moments to get down behind some rocks and ready to shoot.
The light wasn't great and I was going to struggle at lower iso's - problem was on the camera I was using that adjustment was menu driven and I daren't look away or move too much so I had to shoot as things were.
If, and it's a pointless if, I'd had the d7000 a quick role of the wheel and the iso would have been on the up instantly.
If this had been sharp I reckon it would have been my favourite otter image - looks like something out of a cartoon. Don't get me wrong, still a great moment and magical experience and I'm grateful for that.
....oh and I think the latest lesson I've learned is that I need to spend far too much money, for me anyway, on a new lens!

Teaching To Live...
Lots to do these days... hope you are having a great weekend and to catch up with you soon!!
"Well I started out down a dirty road,
Started out all alone.
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill,
And the town lit up, the world got still.
I'm learning to fly... but I ain't got wings,
Coming down is the hardest thing.
I'm learning to fly, around the clouds.
But what goes up must come down."
