View allAll Photos Tagged physically"
I've decided to start project 52. I tried 365 last year, but now I can't physically do that thanks to college. So 52 should be managable, hopefully! There was two versions of this photo- one of the old group of friends I had, meaning I was ready to move on and away from them and then this one- all my current friends that I am going to take into 2011 and beyond. I might post the other version in the comments later (if I can learn how to do that xD)
All of the photos I used in this shot were taken in 2010, apart from one of my oldest best friends and I which was 2009.
I think I did keep to most of my New Year's resolutions but went back on quite a few of them... I'll have to find the notebook I wrote them in and find out. I'm not doing New Year's resolutions this year as I know I won't stick to them and depress myself further so, instead, it's a completely new start. I'm going into the year with a new group of friends, a new, amazing bunch of memories and a reason to start again.
In 2010-
-I lost most of my friends
-I gained a bunch of better ones that I'd known all along
-I've started trusting people more
-towards the end of the year, I learnt that you can't trust anyone.
-I also learnt that if you know that you can trust someone, then never let them leave your side.
-College means I can finally make new friends without my past hanging over me which I did at the start of secondary school
- I also learnt that German is an EVIL language. Or, at least, the AS German work is.
I hope you all have a really good new year and I look forward to post another project 52 item next weekend :)
p.s. I'm sorry this photo is awful, I had to take a photo while I had full internet access...
The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.

I am Christian, a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and probably more I ‘m not aware of now, professionally young and physically old. I’ve been in the Navy, oil field, farmers market, bars, restaurants, hospitals, parts houses. The Lord must have really become frustrated because He finally hit me on the head with the idea of school to become a teacher of children. This was the agenda until I took an art appreciation class. The images that I had seen many times over at this time seemed to reach out with colors and shapes. The professor said I should take more art classes so I did and let myself literally get sucked in to the world of making the shapes and colors that I had seen.
My chosen medium, clay, actually there was no choice. The material seemed to be an extension of my soul. I can reach into and mould it until something appears. When I work techniques don’t separate themselves, one so called technique blends into another depending on the intended form. There is not a thought process that says “well, now I will coil or soft slab”. These words only appear when explaining to another about the process, actually there is no language when a work is started.
My love is sculpture and throwing is second. I work to improve my skill in throwing and actually spend more time throwing. I think that if I could throw as skillfully as I should then I’d probably never throw again.
When I need to work, there is so much I need to know that I usually go to the wheel with the thought of design and glazing. When I start sculpture, I’m more at ease and comfortable especially with the human or animal form. I don’t worry about design and glazing. I rely on the form and like the unglazed texture of the clay.
Anything made to edify, stimulate thought, make a statement is art. Art is all around us architecture, landscaping, clothes cars, furniture etc. The thought that art is exclusive and only the gifted can “create art” is foolish. Art making is a learned skill accessible to anyone.
I’ve been working in clay since1996 and I work best when I work for myself but always are persuaded by demands to work for other reasons. Life always gets in the way. A successful artist doesn’t let life get in the way.
Art was being made through the 40’s.I’m not impressed with modernism and postmodernism. Expressionism and abstract expressionism are always exciting. I don’t consciously model what I do because of influence from any artistic movement. I am taken with the work of Rodin and Van Gough.
Artists are treated with esteem and respect but sometimes as unnecessary.
I like the Museum of Modern Art because they have many of my favorites, most of all Starry Night by Van Gough.

Grand Canyon: is one of the most physically & mentally demanding trips at VVS. After a service project for the National Park Service, students descend into the Canyon, covering over 5,000 feet of descent, shouldering packs containing food, clothing and necessities for the next 10 days. Students cover over 50 miles, as well as an additional 25 miles of day hikes. On the final day they ascend over 4,000 feet. In return, students are exposed to some of the most breathtaking scenery in North America, from the rim of the canyon to swimming in the Colorado, to impressive slot canyons and waterfalls.

Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda, an Educational, Societal and Scientific Innovator has established an NGO 'SROSTI' at Bahanaga, Balasore,Odisha,India
Dr. panda has innovated/invented more than 10,000 (ten thousand) teaching aids and different innovations and he has more than 30,000 (Thirty thousand) ideas to make scientific and mathematical models.
His creations are very essential guide for school and college science exhibitions, innovative learning and play way method for the teachers and students, science activists, innovators, craftsmen, farmers, masons, physically challenged persons, common men, entrepreneurs and industrialists.
He is popularizing science through song, innovative demonstrations and motivational speech since 1990 in different parts of Odisha state without taking any fees.
Dr. Panda is an extreme motivational speaker in science and possess magical scientific demonstration and a crowd puller.

Dr. Panda is an Educationist, an environmentalist, a poet for science popularization, a good orator, a best resource person to train others in specific field of science and engineering.
The uniqueness of Simple Innovation and scientific activities and achievements ofDr. Panda can not be assessed without visiting his laboratory which is a living wonder in the realm of science.
From a small cake cutter to mechanical scissor, from a play pump to rickshaw operated food grain spreader and from a village refrigerator to a multi-purpose machine, thousands of such inventions and innovations are proof of Dr. Panda's brilliance.
From a tube well operated washing machine to weight sensitive food grain separator, from a password protected wardrobe to automatic screen, from a Dual face fan to electricity producing fan are example of few thousands of innovations and inventions of Mihir Kumar Panda.
Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda though bestowed to a popular name as Einstein of Odisha is obliviously treated as Thomas Alva Edison of India.

The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.

Jordan: I'm considering the Bulenga orphanage program. I am lucky in terms of what I have both physically and emotionally. I give back because of what I have been born with as a way to let those suffering know there are people out there that care.

I… was soooo HIGHHHHHHHHHHHHH in Los Angeles.
I was high… physically in the air!!! NOT! MENTALLY. okay? So this was taken back in Los Angeles, during LA county fair 2008. The funny thing is that, I have been living in LA since 2000 but this visit is actually the first time that I went to the LA county fair which is only 10 minutes away from my place. This seems to be normal because we don’t normally travel in the city you live in, do we? The only reason I went there is because… FREE ADMISSION TICKET that I get from my photographer friend, Lily. Actually she is the first person that introduce me the HDR technique that lead me to semi-obsession with HDR.
The view from the top were pretty cool, yet the view from the bottom… AMAZING!
Physically resembling the wild boar, to which it is remarkably closely related, the Sicilian Black Swine of Sicily's Nebrodi Mountains enjoys the oak forests of what is considered by many to be the island's most scenic region. Known locally as the "suino nero dei Nebrodi," it has a prominent ridge of spinal bristles running from its large head to about midway along its back and stands about 70 centimetres (27 inches) high. Suids, or suidae (pigs and boars), form the genus sus.The very existence of the breed is an arcane fact of agricultural life in northeastern Sicily, the only part of the island which still has expansive forests. The swine are allowed to graze and forage over wide areas, including woods, and this diet influences the meat's flavour. It also means that the pigs are sometimes mistaken for wild boar, few of which exist in Sicily today.
Detto anche Suino Nero dei Nebrodi o Nero delle Madonie. Razza autoctona siciliana di origini antichissime. Suini rustici, di colore nero,selvatici, allevati nelle zone boscose, sono presenti in Sicilia fin dai tempi più lontani. Resti fossili e antichi documenti scritti testimoniano la presenza di questi animali fin dal periodo greco e cartaginese (VII-VI secolo a.C.). Questa razze è arrivata fino ai giorni nostri, con una diffusione in tutta l'isola ma con una maggiore presenza sui Monti Nebrodi.Già ai primi del Novecento c'era solo il ricordo dei grandi branchi di suini al pascolo e il Suino Nero era di solito allevato in gruppi di 10-15 animali. Negli ultimi anni c'è stata una decisa ripresa dell'allevamento di questa razza, sulla quale sono stati effettuati diversi studi mirati in modo particolare alla valorizzazione delle sue produzioni. Il Nero Siciliano è attualmente una razza ufficialmente riconosciuta e dotata di Registro anagrafico, gestito dall'Associazione Nazionale Allevatori Suini (ANAS).

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
She wanted to break out the lead pipe or even the brass knuckles (Tricia grew up in the "rough" side of Denver) to force the cute little pony to stand still for the photo....but I talked her out of it.
Kidding, she was just having a moment with this beautiful pony in Monument Valley at John Ford Point on the scencie drive of the MV Navajo Tribal Park
Underneath a private pier on the southern shore of Pensacola's East Bay, off State Road 399 (East Bay Boulevard) in Gulf Breeze "Improper" -- meaning the outer reaches of Gulf Breeze, way out Highway 98. I was following a pelican with my camera, wading underneath the pier. He was tangled in fishing line. He had displayed his wings to me, and I could see the monofilament wrapped multiple times around his feet, legs and wings. Obviously, he couldn't fly -- he was grounded, in aviation terms. Physically unqualified to fly. I wanted to help him, but he wasn't sure he could trust me. Filename: DSC05536.JPG
The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.
Ruby Venus is a physically interactive dance installation. A highly sculptural work involving 15-30 identical women clad in long red velvet hoop dresses and blonde wigs, the dancers move to a symphony of heavy metal violins in a foreign land. Exploring their surroundings in childlike fashion; afraid to wander too far from the clan. Every hour on the hour they gather to perform a highly choreographed piece and then disperse among the observers again.

I'm sick today. Not physically sick, but almost. I realized last night that through a series of stupid mistakes I had deleted a picture of me, my mom and my grandma that we had taken the last time we were at home. It was the last photo taken of my grandma while she was alive and I still can't believe that I screwed up enough to delete it beyond recovery. So....freaking....stupid. I can't even think about it right now. My mom really wanted that picture and I had to call and tell her that I had basically thrown it away.

Grand Canyon: is one of the most physically & mentally demanding trips at VVS. After a service project for the National Park Service, students descend into the Canyon, covering over 5,000 feet of descent, shouldering packs containing food, clothing and necessities for the next 10 days. Students cover over 50 miles, as well as an additional 25 miles of day hikes. On the final day they ascend over 4,000 feet. In return, students are exposed to some of the most breathtaking scenery in North America, from the rim of the canyon to swimming in the Colorado, to impressive slot canyons and waterfalls.

The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.

Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra distributed three-wheelers to over 200 physically challenged persons in New Delhi. On Late Rajiv Gandhi's birthday it was supposed to be distributed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi but due to her illness it got postponed.
Rahul and Priyanka, interacted with almost all the people who were given motorised three-wheelers by the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and spent some time with them.
They went to almost every single person, exchanged pleasantries with them and heard their problems.
I happened to join this group of kind compassionate Buddhists in a visit to a Handicapped Home located at Bukit Tengah, Bukit Mertajam, Penang. I was so overwhelmed by these physically and mentally handicapped inmates that I need to have a series documented and dedicated to these less fortinate fellow human beings in this world.
