Art Sheffield Ambassadors and their guests were invited to Persistence Works, home of Yorkshire ArtSpace, for complimentary drinks and 'behind-the-scenes' access to artists and their studios. Inside Roger Gibson's studio. (All artwork and images of the artwork are copyright of the artist)
This was erected by the family of Phyllis Wallbye. She was the Arts editor of the Loveland Reporter-Herald newspaper. This sculpture stands in front of the Rialto Theater Center.
The Essence of Persistence motivational poster image: Though temperatures can rise to unbearable heights in the desert, an unfaltering runner traverses an arched rock so quickly, his silhouette is merely a blur. Our exclusive Essence of Persistence Runner motivational poster is part of the Essence of... collection combining thoughtful examinations of personal principles with evocative scenes from nature. Each 22" x 28" Essence of... framed motivational poster features a meticulously reproduced image on high-luster stock, premium-quality double matting and shatter-resistant tempered glass.
Doubly persistent! Not just because there's two of them, but because I saw them run the 10K on Saturday night, and here they are Sunday morning, going for the long haul.
Photo taken in December, I'm actually surprised this rose was able to keep its colour and shape this long...
from his most famous work, The Persistence of Memory, the melting clocks have become an icon of his hand. Salvadore Dali was an artistic genius.

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience. Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.

This building always begs to be photographed against a blue sky. It has a funky name too - 'Persistence Works'.
There's a reason for that title.
This was a 16 minute exposure - and Canon's subtractive noise reduction kicked in (for the first time ever), resulting in 16 additional minutes waiting for that to finish.
Only to find that the final image was ruined by heavy lens flare from a nearby street lamp (yes, I should have seen that before shooting, but the tripod was positioned so low that getting a clear view of anything but the basic composition was quite impossible).
Although such lens flare usually means the photo would end on the garbage pile, I couldn't let it go. So, some heavy duty Photoshop and RAW work later, it's workable - if not exactly perfect.
Anyway, as for the photo itself:
St. Petri Church in Copenhagen's Inner City. This is one of those churches that aren't lit up at night, so what you see is moon light and ambient lighting (and someone - other photographer? - flickering a flashlight on the tower a few times). Some light painting done on the pillar and fence by myself.
Coming up through the cracks in the pavement......
"They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to seem 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot"

A quick snap of my dad during the snowstorm in the Northeast. I'd like to let everyone know that I did help out with the shoveling after taking this shot! I hope next week will be a bit less crazy weather-wise. Remember to always hope for the best. I love you all!

aka Bungalow Colony/100 Area, Kelly Air Force Base
Bexar County, TX
Listed: 07/08/2003
Kelly Air Force Base (KAFB), which was founded in 1917, has been a vital center for American military aviation throughout its history. It served as an important training center for pilots and aircraft mechanics as well as a large aviation supply and maintenance depot. Flight training was the primary mission of what was then known as Kelly Field. 2 The scope of its primary mission changed throughout the years with respect to Congressional funding and the changing needs of the U.S. military. By 1943, it was the largest maintenance and supply facility in the country. At that time supply depot activities became the primary mission of the base and flight training activities were transferred elsewhere.
The Bungalow Colony Historic District encompasses KAFB's oldest complex of residential buildings. Along with the officers' quarters at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, the buildings that comprise the Bungalow Colony are the oldest remaining officers' quarters on any Air Force Base in the continental U.S. The design, scale, and materials of the cohesive neighborhood plan and initial buildings (developed primarily between 1920 and 1932) are the result of the persistence and vision of commanding officer Major William Henry Garrison, Jr., and represent a unique and creative solution to providing housing during a period of reduced military funding. The predominant Craftsman-influenced bungalows reflect Kelly's strategic importance between 1920 and 1945 as the base experienced dramatic growth and met the needs of a developing Air Force and a nation at war. For these reasons, the district is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C at a national level of significance. The district is further nominated under Criterion B for its association with aviation and depot leadership who resided in the Bungalow Colony.
That tree is there out of sheer force of will or something. Also, notice the nice orange no trespassing sign... =D
