One of the very rare occasions I will take centre stage in one of my pics ;-) Special thanks to my brother for hanging out in the freezing cold for a few hours and light-painting me with my fave colour... or is it?

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

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
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound 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
Unladened, 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 earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set, ten degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check
Mixture set to maximum percent, recheck
Flight instruments
Altimeters, check both
(Garbled word) - on
Navigation lights, on
Strobes, on
Confirm three-eight-echo ready for departure
Hello again, this is now 129.4
129.4, it's to go
You may commence your takeoff, winds over ten knots
Three-ieght-echo
Easy on the brakes, take it easy, its gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually, and it
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapor 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 earth-bound misfit, I
It appears that this is a nautical expression. In the days of sail, naval recruits had to climb the ropes and learn which ropes controlled which sails etc. Only just to confuse things further, the ropes were known as sheets.
OK, so these young lads (boys really) had to climb the rigging on a ship at sea. Maybe 40ft or more high. A ship that was moving. Up and down, side to side, rolling about, in the wind, in the rain, in the dark.
Best viewed with a brown paper bag. (Preferably a big, strong one)
I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning.

I love learning Japanese! It's so fun. I use this book (pictured) and other various methods like speaking out loud, flash cards, online resources (such as memorise and YouTube) and apps. :)

The wheel on the flying bridge of the John W Brown, America's oldest surviving and operational Liberty ship, located here in Baltimore. For my local flickr friends, come visit...its open to the public from 10am -4pm Sunday, Monday and Tuesday also and you can find us on the West Wall of Light Street Pavilion (by Hooters and Bubba Gumps)!
A busy extended weekend, friends, and I will be on the ship for part of tomorrow and Monday...taking pictures, talking and living nautical history and learning...always learning. I will catch up with you all soon but since I was posting these to the JWB Facebook page, I also put some here. I loved how this looked with the awesome sunlight.
Like a bicycle for kids with its two extra wheels, or like a baby owl afraid to jump out of its nest and fly for the first time, this MIG plane is gathering confidence until a boost takes it far away in Kyrgyzstan's sky.
Here is my son with D200 learning how to do some long exposure photography. I have been surprized at how he is picking it up. Of course he tends to cut things off at the edge frames from time to time and doesn't always have the camera perfectly level but some of his pictures I'd have been proud to take. Isn't that what learning is all about? Opening your mind, realising that anyone can grow and learn.
I shot this with my 810, combined with a nifty 35mm f2 AF-D prime. It's not hard to see how three dimensional this photograph is.
