The purpose and value of bridges cannot be overstated. Any time an individual or group has had to halt a journey because of a canyon or swift flowing river with no way to cross over and the only option is to search for a way around the obstacle, the eventual construction of a bridge smooths the way forward. It can be as simple as a few wooden planks laid across a narrow ditch to an architectural wonder spanning a great body of water, such as the majestic Golden Gate Bridge. My collection of photos includes those simple structures that offer little afterthought to the crossing. In addition, there are photos taken of bridges that have been around and functioning for hundreds of years. Most people can reference a bridge that stands out for its magnificent profile, such as the Brooklyn Bridge that crosses the East River, or the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or the Ponte Vecchio over the River Arno in Florence, or...well, there are such bridges around the globe that are breathtaking to view, but most are only known locally and appreciated for just being a functional bridge. This album contains the first group of 10 bridges with many additional groups to follow. Most of these bridges I could pinpoint on a map, but some will include a caption that is nothing more than a shrug of my shoulders. If anyone should recognize a bridge's location, I would welcome such information.
City College Hollywood attended ‘Painting with a Purpose” earlier this month to raise funds for 2 organizations the Vet Tech program works with to provide care of animals in need. The fundraiser proceeds were raised for South Florida Wildlife Center and South Plantation High School. We were able to raise $965.50 and SCNAVTA will add the difference to make it $1000. Each organization will receive $500 to support the care for many animals in need. The event was successful and so much fun #VetTech #SCNAVTA #CityCollege #Painting

The Australian War Memorial combines a shrine, a world-class museum, and an extensive archive. The Memorial's purpose is to commemorate the sacrifice of those Australians who have died in war or on operational service and those who have served our nation in times of conflict. Its mission is leading remembrance and understanding of Australia’s wartime experience.
The Memorial ranks among the world's great national monuments. Sharply etched grandeur and dignity in its stylised Byzantine profile contrast with a distinctively Australian setting among lawns and eucalypts at the head of a wide ceremonial avenue, Anzac Parade. Kangaroos from nearby bushy hills occasionally add to the physical effect.
The Memorial is more than a monument. Inside the sandstone building, with its copper-clad dome, selections from a vast National Collection of war relics, official and private records, art, photographs, film, and sound are employed to relate the story of the Australian nation's experience in world wars, regional conflicts, and international peacekeeping.
The Memorial forms the core of the nation's tribute to the sacrifice and achievement of the more than 103,000 Australian men and women who died serving their country, and to all those who served overseas and at home. A central Commemorative Area flanked by arched cloisters houses the names of the fallen on the bronze panels of the Roll of Honour. At the head of the Pool of Reflection, beyond the Flame of Remembrance, stands the towering Hall of Memory, with its interior wall and high dome clad in a six-million-piece mosaic and illuminated by striking stained-glass windows. Inside lies the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, a symbolic national shrine.
Conception
Many a man lying out there at Pozières or in the low scrub at Gallipoli, with his poor tired senses barely working through the fever of his brain, has thought in his last moments: 'Well – well – it's over; but in Australia they will be proud of this.'
After the Gallipoli campaign of 1915, the Australians of the 1st AIF (Australian Imperial Force) and their official war correspondent, Charles Bean, moved on to the major battle theatre of the Western Front in France and Belgium. The Australians' first big battles were at Fromelles and Pozières in July 1916. Bean was deeply moved by the sufferings of the men. He wrote in his diary:
"Pozières has been a terrible sight all day … One knew that the Brigades which went in last night were there today in that insatiable factory of ghastly wounds. The men were simply turned in there as into some ghastly giant mincing machine. They have to stay there while shell after huge shell descends with a shriek close beside them – each one an acute mental torture – each shrieking tearing crash bringing a promise to each man – instantaneous – I will tear you into ghastly wounds – I will rend your flesh and pulp an arm or a leg – fling you half a gaping quivering man (like these that you see smashed around you one by one) to lie there rotting and blackening like all the things you saw by the awful roadside, or in that sickening dusty crater. Ten or twenty times a minute every man in the trench has that instant fear thrust tight upon his shoulders – I don't care how brave he is – with a crash that is a physical pain and a strain to withstand."
It was at Pozières that Bean resolved these men and their ordeal should not be forgotten. A month later the idea of a memorial museum for Australian soldiers was born, as Bean's assistant and confidant Arthur Bazley later recalled:
"I remember in August 1916 when after his busy days tramping the Pozières battlefield and visiting units in the line he would roll out his blankets on the chalk firestep of the old British front line … on the edge of Becourt Wood and Sausage Gully. We used to sleep feet to head – C.E.W.B. (Bean), Padre Dexter, myself, and others – and although I cannot recall the actual conversations today I do remember that on a number of occasions he talked about what he had in his mind concerning some future Australian war memorial museum."
Two men, above all others, shaped the Memorial: Charles Bean, who became Australia's Official Historian of the First World War, and John Treloar, the Director of the Memorial between 1920 and 1952.
Charles Bean (1879–1968) was born in New South Wales but grew up and was educated largely in Britian. He returned to Australia and worked as a journalist, and in 1914 was chosen by the journalists' association as official war correspondent. Bean went ashore during the landing on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, and for the rest of the war followed the movements and battles of Australian soldiers. As well as conceiving and lobbying for the creation of the Australian War Memorial, he was appointed to oversee the production of the 12-volume Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918 and he wrote six of the volumes, completing the last in 1942.

John Treloar (1894–1952) contributed more than any other person to the realisation of Bean's vision. Treloar, who came from Melbourne, also landed on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. In 1917, as a captain, he was appointed to head the newly created Australian War Records Section (AWRS) in London, responsible for collecting records and relics for the future museum and to help the official historian in his work. After the war Treloar devoted his life to the Memorial, and influenced almost every aspect of its development. Appointed Director of the Memorial in 1920, he remained in this position for the rest of his life, apart from a brief period in charge of the Military History and Information Section (MHIS) during the Second World War.

Building the National Collection
The Australian War Records Section (AWRS) was set up in 1917 to ensure Australia would have its own collection of records and relics of the great war being fought. Treloar devoted himself especially to improving the quality of the unit and formation war diaries, which recorded operations and activities daily, and to ensuring that after the war the official historian would have a well-ordered collection of the diaries and supplementary primary source material to work from.
Others, such as Sid Gullett and Ernie Bailey, went out into the field to collect relics or material evidence of the conflict. At the same time orders were given to soldiers to do their bit in collecting for the projected museum and, in this way, some 25,000 relics were gathered.
Bean and Treloar also arranged for the appointment of official war artists and photographers. There were 18 official war artists, and among the best-known were Will Dyson, George Lambert, and Arthur Streeton. Bean's official photographers included two adventurers, Frank Hurley and Hubert Wilkins. Hurley had been to the Antarctic with both Mawson and Shackleton, while Wilkins had been to the Arctic and in 1912 had filmed the Balkan War with the Turkish Ottoman army. Bean insisted that art and photography should show the war as it was, not present an idealised version.
After the First World War it took a long time before the Memorial's building in Canberra was constructed. Initially there were delays in arousing public and government enthusiasm. Then the financial crash and the subsequent Great Depression intervened. In the meantime large, long-running exhibitions were held in Melbourne and Sydney. The Australian War Museum opened on Anzac Day 1922 in the Exhibition Building, Melbourne. This exhibition of war relics was enthusiastically received by press and public, and attracted large crowds. The exhibition closed in 1925 and was moved to Sydney, where it remained until 1935.
In 1918 Bean imagined how the Memorial would appear:
on some hill-top – still, beautiful, gleaming white and silent, a building of three parts, a centre and two wings. The centre will hold the great national relics of the AIF. One wing will be a gallery – holding the pictures that our artists painted and drew actually on the scene and amongst the events themselves. The other wing will be a library to contain the written official records of every unit.
The Memorial's design was a compromise between the desire for an impressive monument to the fallen and a budget of only £250,000. An architectural competition in 1927 failed to produce a satisfactory single design for the building. Two of the entrants in the competition, Sydney architects Emil Sodersteen and John Crust, were encouraged to submit a joint design, incorporating Sodersteen's vision for the building and Crust's concept of cloisters to house the Roll of Honour with its more than 60,000 names. The joint design was accepted and forms the basis of the building we see today, which was completed and opened to the public on Remembrance Day, 11 November, in 1941.
As Australia entered the Second World War the Memorial in Canberra was still not complete. It was intended to be devoted primarily to the First World War, but as it became apparent that the new war was of a comparable scale, it became inevitable that the scope of the Memorial should be extended. In 1941 the government extended the Memorial's charter to include the Second World War; in 1952 it was again extended to include all Australia's wars.
In keeping with the sombre, commemorative tone of the Memorial, Charles Bean was from the start concerned that it should not be seen to be glorifying war or triumphing over the enemy. He urged Treloar and others not to speak about "trophies", preferring the term "relics". He also urged that captions and text should not use derogatory terms for former enemies, such as "Hun" or "Abdul".
In the 1950s Bean drew up a list of exhibition principles, suggesting among other things that the galleries should "avoid glorification of war and boasting of victory" and "perpetuating enmity … for both moral and national reasons and because those who have fought in wars are generally strongest in their desire to prevent war". In general, he decided, former enemies should be treated as generously as were Australians. The exhibitions also needed to be made relevant and engaging, for example, by presenting relics as objects with their own story rather than as just examples of a type. Bean also thought of the future exhibits should be "so described and displayed as to be understood and interesting 75 years after the events".

The purpose of the Book Week Celebration is to encourage students to become readers through fun and engaging activities that motivates students to appreciate the different kinds of literature the world has to offer - from epic novels to simple newspaper comics.
To kick off the opening of the SFAMSC Book Week, a mini parade where the preschool, grade school, and some intermediate and high school student wore the costumes of their favourite literary and comic characters!
There is a lot of space here. And the line of parked cars on the rough gravel could be easily eliminated as all those houses on the other side of the road have lots of off street parking. This is just cheap and nasty. Much better wouldbe two separate paths and some more imaginative landscaping. The scruffy hedges on the right mark the back of the properties on the next street

Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

History note:
Originally any small table served as a surface for various activities such as writing or playing cards. But by the 18th Century furniture makers were designing furniture for specific purposes to meet the needs of a more educated and sophisticated society. This table is a superb example of the craftsmanship and ingenuity of 18th Century designers - one small table unfolds to provide specially designed tables for 5 different activities!
Indexed in:
This table was featured on the ABC's Collector's programme, Episode 33, shown Nationally on 03/11/05.
Summary:
Multi-purpose table: side table; tea table; card table; games table; reading stand. The table has three tops which fold one on top of another to form a small side table. The table tops are shaped with square projecting corners to accommodate candle sticks. The card table is covered in green baize, and the games table is inlaid with different coloured woods to provide for playing Chess and Backgammon. The table has five legs with one which swings out to provide a support for the table tops when they are opened out. A triple action hinge and adjustable support allow the table to have a flat surface no matter which top is in use. The two front legs are cabriole, with carved decoration of acanthus leaves and blue-bell drops, and ball and claw feet. The other three legs are plain with round pad feet. The body of the table contains an adjustable reading stand, and incorporated into the left hand side of the table is a small drawer which swings out, and provides several small wells to house different game pieces.
The purpose of this project was to make a design on a disk with water and then photograph it. For my design on the disk i kept it pretty simple with just a bunch of drops of water all around randomly. I took a bunch of pictures of it from all different angles and also held the flash from multiple angles. I decided on this image because it looked the best out of all of them. Editing this picture all i did was crop it and then i changed the hue upped the contrasted and also the saturation.

Soft, on purpose. I've been experimenting. I really liked the way this one turned out when I got it out of the can. The composition was interesting to me, maybe the way the tree divides the background, and I like the colors too. The blues on the tree and in the leaves on the left, seem to frame the bloom along with the color at the top. Sorry, don't mean to be giving my own critique, but I've been studying this one so I'm sharing. I'm very interested to hear if you like it too, or not of course. If you see opportunities for improvement please let me know.
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)
