This ball used to stand in the World Trade Center plaza. It was pulled out of the wreckage as you see it now.... In the fore ground is an "eternal flame" lit (I believe) a year to the day the tradgedy struck.

'Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor "Rowan Gillespie" and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
i originally had this picture of the marathon runners. i added a fliter to it. next i have the picture of the runner who has stopped in the upper right corner. i used the magic wand and made it a free floating image because orginally he was on the track. i also added an outer glow to it. with the title i added layer styles or effects the drop shadow, outer glow, and bevel and emboss. i added a placeholder with a feather to it and a reduced opacity. with the deffinition i also did a placeholder with a feather and a reduced opacity.
i think it looks really good. and i like it a lot
The road to success is not straight
There is a curver ahaed called failure
A loop called confusion
Speed bumps called friends
Red lights called enemies
Caution signs called family
Flat tired called jobs
Spare tires called determination
An engine called perserverance
A driver called God
You will make it to a place called success

By developing interests children learn a lot of useful qualities that can be applied to life in and out of the classroom. Swimming for example is something that is learnt by children, that doesn't require any pens or paper, but practice and dedication. By learning and developing new interests, talents could potentially be formed, which can teach children the importance of perserverance and practice, and help them gain self-confidence and self-awareness that can help them throughout their entire life. All this is accomplished by developing and focusing a child's interest, while having fun and staying healthy.
I tried to keep my Robin familiar with me throughout the breeding season, though I lost touch with her during the beginning of it. This was shot just before the breeding season really kicked off. At the point the weather was getting finer so she was less desperate for food, though this would vary day to day with the weather. Perserverance paid off and eventually I managed to get this close while the sun was out. At this point I was using an extension tube for very close up work on my telephoto lens.
My poor son seems to be struggling moving to the next level of bike riding. He has the hardest part down: actually riding. But the steering straight, braking, riding anywhere but an empty parking lot is just not happening. We practiced today at our favorite empty parking lot, he did great, I'm proud of his perserverance, even after falling. He is so close. It feels so much like a rite of passage, a milestone, learning how to ride a bike, it's like having an incomplete childhood without it....I'm happy to be teaching him this.....
