I'm crazy about this photo. This photo describes my whole impression of Korea. Evening, open pubs, a girl coming home from work, neon signs, a lot of outdoor advertising and wires, but trees and perfectly laid tiles. This is an actual cyberpunk of our days.

For further Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet, is a public art exhibition designed to raise awareness of solutions to climate change. Cool Globes grew out of a commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005, and was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2006. Since that time, Cool Globes premiered in Chicago and went on tour across the country from Washington DC to San Francisco, San Diego, Sundance, Los Angeles, Houston and Cleveland. In the fall of 2009, Cool Globes opened the first international exhibit in Copenhagen. From there our globes were in Geneva, Marseille, Vancouver, Amsterdam, Jerusalem and Boston. It is our hope that the millions of people who have experienced the exhibit, leave with a vast array of solutions to climate change, and with one clear message….we can solve this.
Message from Wendy Abrams, founder of Cool Globes
I never considered myself an environmentalist. To me, an environmentalist was a guy in a raft protesting to save the whales as he drifted in the Pacific. But in 2001, that changed when I casually stumbled upon a Time magazine article about global warming, depicting potentially catastrophic consequences within the century. As a mother of four, this hit a nerve – the next century is my children’s lifetime. I was suddenly motivated to act and spent the next five years educating myself by joining environmental groups, attending conferences, meeting with scientists and becoming engaged in the political debate.
The more I learned, the more I was bewildered by the discrepancy between the scientific community’s alarm and general public’s silence. The public seemed relatively unconcerned by the scientists’ daunting predictions, if they were even aware of the predictions at all. The American press showed disproportionately little interest in covering global warming, given the magnitude of the problem. When the press did cover the issue, studies showed that many people tuned out because they felt overwhelmed by the problem and helpless as to the solutions.
I was intrigued by the question of how to capture the public’s attention on a subject as complex as global warming. One night, in a casual discussion with friends, we came up with an idea – “public art with a purpose.” The idea was to put sculptures on the sidewalk, each depicting a solution to global warming, forcing people to confront the issue, but in a non-threatening manner.
As a participant at the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative, I was asked to make a commitment to take action. With the incentive to return to the next annual conference, I put my pledge in writing. I committed to raise awareness of global warming using the medium of public art, and established the non-profit organization, Cool Globes, Inc.
Over the next year, what I discovered was that this was an issue that people were eager to address, particularly when we mentioned the emphasis on solutions. People whom I had never met prior to this project devoted themselves entirely to Cool Globes.
The Chicago exhibit, which featured more than 120 globes, was hugely successful. Millions of people experienced the globes and the exhibit inspired more than 5,000 online pledges by individuals to adopt solutions to global warming. The popularity of Cool Globes in Chicago has inspired other cities across the country and around the world to inquire about the possibility of replicating the project. Cool Globes has gone on the road during across the United States from Washington DC to California to inspire more individuals to implement simple solutions in their lives to fight global warming.
This has been an exciting project from day one. I’m proud of all the hard work by so many who have made this possible. I do believe Cool Globes is inspiring people to make a change and fight global warming.

Connecting the Zoo with the Pond, Inscope is a striking example of Ruskinian Gothic architecture perfected by Park architect Jacob Wrey Mould. Inscope was one of three structures built during the 1870s in response to the overflow of pedestrians competing with horseback riders and carriage drivers. (The others were Gapstow Bridge and Outset Arch, which no longer exists). The elegant arch is constructed of pink and gray granite.

What comes to your mind when you see something like this?
As I’m uploading this picture (about 3 hours after I took this), there is a very heavy thunderstorm here in Pittsburgh. I had to wait quite a bit to get this picture today. So I wonder do I want to see thunderstorms everyday or …. Do we want to wait and face challenges everyday to get the results we want or do we just take the easy path and be happy with what we get….. Do we want to wait and face challenges everyday to get the results we want or do we just take the easy path and be happy with what we get….. We choose. Guess, nothing is free in life.
The tall structure is the Cathedral of Learning and other glass building where the rays are falling is Cyert Hall, CMU. The only glass building in the CMU campus (at least till today).

HBW!
I spent a good amount of time this morning on the company web site trying to find a product photo of my new light, without luck. I have real work to do after all. However, I couldn't be more pleased with the final. And, Marc (our neighbor) also put in a dimmer b/c them halogen lights are BRIGHT!
*UPDATE: I found it. I posted it (backdated) to not clutter up my stream. You can see it here.

"Step into the timeless craftsman charm of The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Overlooking the world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course with views of the Pacific Ocean, the AAA Five Diamond rated resort exceeds expectations with world-class dining, a full-service spa and unprecedented service.

"Inspired by the creative genius of architects Greene & Greene, the Lodge at Torrey Pines uniquely embodies the spirit of the Arts and Crafts movement. The guest rooms of the existing hotel were demolished and replaced by new guest wings. Public areas were extensively renovated and expanded adding a new ballroom and a full service spa and fitness center. KSDS was responsible for the design of all guest rooms, suites and public areas. In an effort to properly pay homage to this distinctive period in architectural history, extensive research was undertaken, resulting in a high level of expertise in the Arts and Crafts Movement.
"The lobby celebrates the work of Charles and Henry Greene in every detail, from the finely crafted millwork and to the meticulously replicated light fixtures and furniture. The custom stained glass entry doors were created by the same art glass studio that partnered with Greene & Greene on many of their historic homes."

"AN EXCEPTIONAL FINE DINING EXPERIENCE
The Lodge’s signature restaurant, A.R. Valentien, highlights regional San Diego cuisine served in an elegant, timbered indoor-outdoor dining room overlooking the 18th hole of Torrey Pines Golf Course. Executive Chef Kelli Crosson sources only the best local provisions, and the menu changes frequently based on seasonal fare available. The restaurant takes its name from a talented early 20th-century California artist whose works are exhibited throughout the restaurant."""
San Diego 2024
I'm staying in an Airbnb while my motorhome has some repairs done. There are three cottages in a row. Because the cottages are close to the sea and near the lake where the sailing boats pass every day, the owner has restored them to a nautical theme. After speaking with the lady next door, she invited me in for a look. To my delight, I found a lovely nautical lighthouse lamp in the main bedroom. I could not resist getting this shot.

Walking around downtown San Diego, you are invariably drawn to two landmarks, PetCo Park and the Convention Center.
PetCo belongs to the newer generation of ballparks located right smack in the middle of a city. The free viewing areas out beyond center field are a nice touch. The mix of swaying palms and beach sand stamp PetCo Park as a unique and distinctive park that surely provides a sense of place. There is certainly no confusing PetCo with SafeCo.
Nearby, the massive convention center dominates the waterfront. Thankfully, the architects were kind enough to provide public walkways that allow pedestrians to traverse the mammoth structure, knocking off the mile that it would otherwise take for you to walk around. Along the way, you can admire the Flame of Friendship, a 21-foot tall polished stainless steel sculpture presented as a gift by the Government of Mexico to the people of San Diego as a gesture of friendship.
The highlight on the walkabout for me was wandering into the Horton Grand Hotel, a modern-day restoration of two separate (and relocated) historic hotels--The Grand Horton Hotel and the Brooklyn-Kahle Saddlery Hotel--that retains that old-timey charm of 1880s California.

As I was framing and focusing this shot, the building's security officer rushes out the door and warns me, "You cannot take photographs of this building, sir!". I shrug my shoulders and leave.

These bottles were actually sitting on a shelf under this light in a cheery, sunny tearoom that sat just off a winding road in the mountains of North Carolina. The old house was decorated in typical tearoom style, full of antiques and collectibles, dried vines, and art...and on each table was a little guest book where diners could write a few words about their stop there.
Textures are my own, a combination of a piece of a metal pot that sits by my front door, another piece of metal, and my Christmas tree lights. :)
