The Kingston Fossil Plant, operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, is located at the confluence of the Clinch and Emery Rivers, tributaries of the Tennessee River, between the towns of Harriman and Kingston in Roane County, Tennessee.
The plant put 9 power generating units on line in 1955, with 5 tall and 4 short stacks. In 1976, its original stacks were taken out of service (though left standing) and replaced by a pair of 1,000.0 feet(304.8 m) tall chimneys, one for units 1–5 and one for units 6–9. (See www.flickr.com/photos/23056599@N00/180342544
To reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, all nine units use a blend of low-sulfur coal. Two scrubber shave been added to the units, further reducing emissions by up to 95 percent. This project was completed in fiscal year 2010 at a cost of about $475 million.
Of course, TVA is still dealing with the December 2008, an impoundment at the plant failed, releasing 1.1 billion gallons (4.2 million m³) of coal fly ash slurry that covered up to 300 acres (1.2 km2) of the surrounding land, damaging homes and flowing into nearby waterways.

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who, in 2003, received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Currently, it is the most recently constructed World Heritage Site to be designated as such, sharing this distinction with such ancient landmarks as Stonehenge and the Giza Necropolis. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighboured by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
The Opera House was formally completed in 1973, having cost $102 million.

I have really been into black and whites lately and want to get out and get some better ones. This one is from this past Saturday again taken from Olive Park.
Enjoy and don't forget to check out my SmugMug Site for Prints: Christopher|F Photography
And my blog: Christopher.F Photography
As I mentioned in my last post, I certainly still have more photographs to post from both my charity bike ride in Morocco and the DMU Boston meetup, but I've put off posting shots from the BU Photo Club twilight shoot at Lo Presti Park for far too long.
This particular shot was one that I had flagged as a keeper the moment I reviewed it on the LCD of my camera when I shot it. I've put off posting it because I couldn't decide whether or not people looking at the photo would like how the old pier posts blend into the blackness of the cityscape (I figured y'all wouldn't.) After several weeks of going back and forth, I was reminded of the fact (again) that this is my photograph and I like- no- love the colors and tones in this and even though I do like it when others say they enjoy my work, it's shouldn't become my primary motive for pursuing photography as I do- and it's not.
Also, I love me some purple.

My mom wanted to take her umpteenth walk along the beach, my dad was hanging out by the boardwalk sketching, so I decided to see Daytona by foot. Not the main drag that has high end hotels on one side, and $30/night motels on the other, but some of the less tourist-ridden areas. First, I walked down Main Street, which caters to bikers in a way I've never seen before. Harley store after leather shop after biker bar after Harley store. I did, however, smile mightily as I passed one of those bars and heard Tom Petty's Free Fallin' playing on the radio. I don't care if you're 25 or 55, I think everyone has memories of driving around in the summer with that song playing on the radio.
After that, I walked over the bridge, onto the mainland, and across on Beach St, which clearly used to be the hub of Daytona Beach nightlife. There were beautiful shops, a quaint street setting, trees planted all along... and 2/3 of the shops were empty. It was sad to see only a handful of restaurants and antique shops clinging to life on what used to be the place to be in the 1960s. They had posters up in the windows of the empty shops with pictures from that era, proclaiming how you, too, should play a part in preserving Daytona's history.
Along that road, I found this old car dealership from the lat 60s, all boarded up and dirty. It's hard to say how long it's been in that state.

View On Black (I hate how square photos are *smaller* when you view them in the Flickr lightbox.)
Make sure you view this with your screen quite bright... But I think my screen isn't very bright to begin with so you're probably fine. :)
Okay, here are my ten facts! I was tagged by Erin ♥LivingGrace.
1. This is my brother. :) He's fourteen.
2. He was kind of nervous about me taking pictures of him... This is the only photo I got where he didn't panic and pull a funny face haha.
3. I know it's ridiculous how I always fall back on Harry Potter when I have to write ten facts, but I am currently having an HP book marathon. :) I'm up to Goblet of Fire.
4. Harry Potter's awesome.
5. I cannot wait for the Deathly Hallows movie.
6. Hmm. I just remembered these are supposed to be ten facts about ME. Oh well!
7. I am an extremely eclectic person in taste, as you can probably tell in my photography. I'm the same, if not worse, with my clothes and music taste.
8. I got my learner's permit last spring, I'm probably going to take driving classes this fall...
9. I didn't know you could get your learner's permit at fifteen in Florida! D:
10. My favorite TV show is probably House by now. They've cancelled so many of my favorite shows this year! D: I do love House though, you should watch it.
Possibly the most random 10-facts in the history of the world.
If I tagged you it's because I love your photos and I want to know more about you. :)

Buddhist image by Mr.Yasuhiko Urase Fold by me แบบพับมาจาก Monthly ORIGAMI Magazine 392 ปี2008 ครับ www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=442381459197215&set=p...
One of the two experiments on this self portrait.
When it seems like the world around's just breaking
And it feels like there's no one else around you
And it's quiet there's a silence in the darkness
And it sounds like the carnival is over
As you walk in the crowded empty spaces
And you stare at the emptiness around you
You wanna go to the city and the bright lights
And get away from the sadness around you
'Cause I will be there and you will be there
We'll find each other in the dark
And you will see and I'll see it too
'Cause we'll be together in the dark
'Cause if it's coming for you
Then it's coming for me
'cause I will be there
'Cause we'll need each other in the dark
And if it terrifies you then it terrifies me
'Cause I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
As I look in to the sky the stars bright as eyes
You want me to take you over there
I want you to stay with me
'cause you're not the only one
The only one
No no
Don't worry you're not the only one
'Cause if it's coming for you
Then it's coming for me
But I will be there
'Cause we'll need each other in the dark
And if it's panicking you then it's panicking me
But I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
We'll need each other in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
We'll hold each other in the dark
Now we're save together in the dark
'Cause we've got each other in the dark

Finally Rosina gave birth. There were born 2 males and a female.
Unfortunately the female had a problem (umbilical hernia ) and died.
One of the males, Bruce is staying at home with us tonight because he could not drink enough milk.
We took the milk from Rosina and we are going to give him during the night.
I hope he gets better. He is very weak!
Rosina is doing well!!!

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.

N2980 is the only surviving Brooklands-built Wellington. During a training flight on the 31st December 1940 she developed engine trouble and ditched into Loch Ness. All the crew escaped, but the rear gunner was killed when his parachute failed to deploy.
Vickers WellingtonDeveloped from the Wellesley, the Wellington prototype first flew at Brooklands in 1936. Its fabric-covered geodetic structure was able to absorb heavy damage, and it was the only British bomber to be used throughout World War Two, serving with Bomber, Coastal, Transport and Training Commands. Altogether 11,461 Wellingtons were produced, 2,515 of these at Brooklands.
First flown on 16th November 1939, by Vickers’ Chief Test Pilot ‘Mutt’ Summers, N2980 was first issued to 149 Squadron at RAF Mildenhall and allocated the squadron code letter ‘R’ for ‘Robert’. It took part in the infamous Heligoland Bight raid on the 18th December 1939, during which over half of the twenty-two Wellingtons involved were shot down by German fighters. N2980 later served with 37 Squadron at RAF Feltwell, taking part in fourteen operations including day and night raids.
In 1976 the Wellington was located by a team of American Loch Ness Monster hunters and was successfully salvaged on 21st September 1985 by the Loch Ness Wellington Association assisted by the National Heritage Memorial Fund. Despite nearly forty-five years underwater, the aeroplane was remarkably well preserved. The taillights still worked when connected to a modern battery and many of the crew’s personal effects remained in the fuselage.
Delivered to Brooklands Museum by British Aerospace on 27th September 1985, N2980 is now one of only two surviving Wellingtons but is the only one to see action as a bomber in operational service.

grumpy old keith!
wins points for his version of "time is tight" and the "godfather" theme. the album was recorded in edgbaston - and is signed on the back by the man and his band.
"Keith Lloyd was a Birmingham based keyboard player who is known to have accompanied many top stars of the day as they made their way through the clubs of the West Midlands. The likes of Bob Monkhouse, Frankie Howard and Les Dawson all used Keith as musical director to their stage shows at some point during the late 1960s and early 1970s and Keith maintained a residency on the Woman Today BBC TV programme.
Unfortunately, apart from the information contained on the sleeve notes to his "This is My Life" album, little else is known about Keith Lloyd and his band, which featured Geoff Cox on drums, Barry Peacock on Bass and Mick Large on guitar. The album was recorded at Zella Studios in Edgbaston in 1974, and released on the label of the same name. This was owned and run throughout the 1960s and 1970s by Johnny Haynes, but alas is no more - Johnny having sold the studio to soft rock behemoths Magnum in the 1980s. During this time local Asian musicians were regular customers at Zella studios, and perhaps hundreds of traditional Asian recordings were produced there.
An early incarnation of Black Sabbath produced a 45 on Zella Records and a large number of aspiring beat combos and hard rock bands of the period are known to have made use of Zella Studios.

Last year I first tried Muskoka Brewery's Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout as part of my 52 week beer project. I found it to be one of the ost delicious stouts I ever had. When Muskoka's reps told me that it was returning to Manitoba, I was giddy.
You see, Muskoka's Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout, which is now named the Winter Beard, has quickly became a winter tradition for me. To me, it tasted like a Christmas dessert in a bottle.. it was that good! So here I am, excited to try it again!
Appearance: Comes in a 750mL bottle with a swing top. The label this year has a guy sporting a huuuuuge beard and a Muskoka toque, he kind of reminds me of my landlord this time of year. Pours a rich black creamy (or dark chocolate) in appearance, caramel colour foam (very minimal).
Aroma: Roasted coffee beans. If you like coffee inspired porters or stouts, I know you will enjoy this beer. I'm not really noticing the cranberry in the aroma yet. There may be a ever-so-slightly cranberry scent in there.. but I can barely notice it. The roasted coffee maltiness is nice. There's also a bit of a dark chocolate in there. This is going to get good!
Taste: Quite creamy on the tongue. It's effing delicious! The Winter Beard has that roasted coffee taste that you expect.. and love! Maybe I've been eating too much chocolate over the holidays but there's a very noticeable dark chocolate sweetness in the stout. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, but it really works in this stout. There's only a slight amount of cranberry in this stout.. which is a-o-k with me because I find fruit + chocolate to be disgusting (picky eater here) nor does it make the beer tart.
Overall Thoughts: can somewhat smell my breath and it smells like Tim Horton's Café Mocha, not a surprise as there's a decent amount of roasted coffee and dark chocolate in this delicious stout. It costs $10 for the 750mL bottle. That's quite a price tag for a stout, but read me out.. this IS one of the best stouts on the market in Canada today. It is one of the few beers worth the price tag. This is a Christmas dessert sort of beer, or good for accompagnying the mountains of Christmas treats we all get from family and friends. Another thing to note is that the stout has an ABV of 8%, so you WILL get a bit of warmth from it. Damn good stout.
Check out my 2010 Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout review
From the description: "What could be more reminiscent of a frigid Northern winter than an insulating beard and a warming Muskoka seasaonal brew? Our Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout is rich and sturdy with roasted dark chocolate malts, real cocoa, 70% dark chocolate, and freshly harvested local cranberries. Pair that with the slightly higher alcohol content and then you'll find yourself sharing this bottle of joy all winter long. Beard not included"

Ever since I was young, I've had a very special bond with my Grandpa Al. We decided when I was in my early teens that we were soul mates. Not in the way you traditionally understand that term, but in a way that we both understood. We've always been able to tap into each other's spirits in a way nobody else can. In many ways, I am just like my grandpa. I love to tell stories, and often times I run off on tangents that take longer than the original story itself ever would have taken to tell. I don't like people to rush me to my point. I'm proud. I'm passionate. I wear my heart on my sleeve. And it doesn't take much to make me tear up and get emotional. These are all traits I believe I've inherited from my grandpa.
Every year for probably the last twenty years, my grandpa writes me a special note for my birthday. He always includes some bits of wisdom. Perhaps a poem he wrote, perhaps the words of another poet. But he never ceases to pass along some idea to me that he believes (and rightly so) will help to shape me into a stronger, warmer, better woman. And every year I've tucked those notes away for safe keeping. I pull them out occasionally, and invariably wind up tearing up as I read them. But there are a few quotes that have stuck with me so firmly that I need not pull out the letters to be reminded of their sentiment. The title to this photo is an excerpt from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that my grandpa included in a letter to me during my junior year of college. It pops into my head at the most obscure times and fills me with warmth, love and comfort.
I can't think of anyone besides my parents who has influenced me in the way that my grandpa has. I hope that I have become the woman he always believed I would be. My gut tells me that I still have a ways to go. I'm sure my grandpa will weigh in on this at our 4th of July barbeque this year.
One Ship Sails East
One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
'Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

Como un río que libera toda su verdad
Como agua que esta ansiosa por llegar al mar!!
Mar que todo me darás amor fruto, dolor, felicidad…
Agua soy y tu mar!!
Mar mi mar …
Soy tu pasado y tu verdad!
Soy la frontera que divide en tu alma el bien y el mal
Mar mi mar…
De tu pasado soñado
De tu presente reincidente quiero ser tu amor
Como agua que se juega todo por llegar
Y ese mar que se impacienta de tanto esperar
Mar que todo puede estar pasión dudas ternura
Y tanto mas…
Agua soy y tu mar
Mar mi mar…
Soy tu pasado y tu verdad!
Soy la frontera que divide en tu alma el bien y el mal
Mar mi mar
Se mi refugio se mi paz
Ser la caricia que me embriaga que me hace soñar
Tibu = Gusty = Seba @
En soled busco mi libertad!!!
Avi - Papua New Guinea -
Bezoek bij een familie gekleed in de traditionele kledij van de Chimbu-stam. Hun hoofdversiering met prachtige veren zijn heel belangrijk. Het zijn de veren van papegaaien, paradijsvogels en andere siervogels... soms kan je de mooie paradijsvogeltjes met hun unieke veren op hun geheel nog zien als hoofdtooi. De veren worden generaties na elkaar goed bewaard, zo dat er niet telkens voor een feest ettelijke vogeltjes moeten sneuvelen... Ook de schelpen, het vroegere betaalmiddel (shell money), zijn een teken van welstand.
Western Highlands is a province of Papua New Guinea. The provincial capital is Mount Hagen.

In this series I want to bring light to the forgotten.
Today in society we put so much worth on the objects that we all own. Who owns the most valuable objects? Objects that once had value to us, at times, end up in the corner collecting dust. Others are kept around because the value is more so sentimental. The idea that value comes from the perspective of the owner is an idea I want to bring attention to. Each and every object has a different level of sentimental value to each person. A small trinket could mean nothing to one and everything to another. In this series I want the objects that I have found in these abandoned areas to be hung and illuminated. I want them to have just as much importance as they once had when they had owners. In this series I want to bring light to the forgotten.
Each place I visited had piles of forgotten objects that had once been purchased and used. I decided to hang the objects that I believe to have meant something to someone at some point, whether it be a toy race car, a teddy bear, or a tea strainer, at some point these objects where of some use to someone. By hanging these items in the door ways of each house I am forcing you to see them if you wish to enter, to see what has been forgotten. All of these objects where also in fact left in these doorways so that the next person to visit will also be forced to see what has been left. With the diptychs I show a photo of the objects hung in what is clearly a doorway, then a close up to show the real detail of decay that some of the objects have been through. I found that with different places came different items. On the island of Little Gasparilla I found an abandoned fort that children used to play in, there I chose to hang a chess piece, a buoy, a pair of keys, a conch shell, and a wind chime. These items are so different from the usual house hold items and toys that I found int he rest of the homes. Also the use of a doorway changes, I instead hung them at what I believe to be the entrance to the secret hideaway.
These places all meant something to someone, the things left on the floor, they all were of some sort of value to some human being at some point. The burned charred toys were once shiny and new and enjoyed. The shoe was once keeping someones foot warm, the tools where once used, and the china doll was once displayed. Only to be left behind, I just don't want them to be left with no recognition of what used to be.
