CHARLIE CHAPLIN SCULPTURE AT BRADBURY
The building offers a photo opportunity next to the sculpture of the comedian actor Charlie Chaplin in the main lobby. The sculpture was created by a Russian sculptor living in New York, Emmanuil Snitkovsky in 1989. The sculpture represents a life-size Charlie Chaplin in his famous role "The Little Trump". It was exhibited as part of a tribute back then to the actor's 100th birthday and organized by the Hollywood Arts Council.
"Charlie Chaplin" was the first of a series of sculptures to be grouped on "The Bench of Comedians" proposed in the courtyard of the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Because of the recent extensive renovations of the hotel, a new home for the sculpture has now been found here at the Bradbury building. Charlie Chaplin was once a highlight in this neighborhood, which in the early 1920's was a "walk of fame" as Hollywood is today. In 1931, the most splendid Los Angeles Theatre, built to resemble the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles in Paris on 615 S. Broadway opened its doors for the first time with the gala premiere of the movie "City Lights" with Charlie Chaplin in his masterpiece role. A United Artists Theater built in 1927 was financed by the original partners of United Artists: Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin who are pictured in the auditorium murals.
Broadway Street, being the largest historic theatre district in the United States with other grandiose movie houses of the early 20th Century, such as Million Dollar Theatre and Orpheum Theatre - the oldest in the world, marked Charlie Chaplin as one of the most recognized stars of the silent movie era.

ah well.
Happy Fence Friday anyway! Maybe there are some inspiring fall fences to be found this weekend!
In a break from all the Christmas images I thought I'd travel back in time a few months and present a nice Autumnal image.
Also slip sliding into Sliders, original in comments.
HSS and HWEVS everyone!
This is repost of an older photo cropped per one of my flickr friend's suggestion.
He is right. It is a better photo this way.
Memorial Day History May 29- 2017
"I AM FREE
BECAUSE of the BRAVE"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qt57c7rnHM
REMEMBERING those who has died for MY FREEDOM
"SOY LIBRE"
"Debido al Valiente"
Recordando : a los que han muerto por !MI Libertad!
Para todos aquellos afortunados de estar disfrutando de un fin de semana de tres días, recuerde: Usted no se la gano!!!
Esta fiesta es cortesía de los hombres y mujeres que perdieron la vida mientras servía en el ejército de Estados Unidos.
Memorial Day se ha convertido en una institución Americana - ampliamente considerado como el comienzo del dia oficial del verano - que es fácil olvidar que ha sido un día de fiesta oficial Estado Unidenses, solamente desde 1971. Comenzó, extraoficialmente, como la decoración de Día, una primavera homenaje a las víctimas de la Guerra Civil. Por la Primera Guerra Mundial, se había convertido en un recuerdo de los difuntos de todas las guerras Estado Unidenses.
El número de Estado Unidenses que han muerto respondiendo a la llamada del deber de su país es asombroso: un estimado de 620.000 personas perdieron la vida en la Guerra Civil, cuando la población del país era una décima parte de lo que es hoy.
Algunos de nosotros se reunirán para los desfiles, ceremonias o rezos colectivos en este día. Muchos más participar en los rituales del Memorial Day que no tienen ninguna conexión real con los orígenes de la fiesta: comidas al aire libre, viajes por carretera, salidas de playa - saboreando las libertades que se lograron y conservan a un costo tan alto.
Todos dieron algo, algunos dieron todo
Todos debemos hacer una pausa para honrar su sacrificio.

BECAUSE of the BRAVE
REMEMBERING those who have died for MY FREEDOM
I AM FREE
Due to the Brave
Remembering: those who have died for MY Freedom
For all those fortunate to be enjoying a three-day weekend, remember: You do not earn it. This feast is courtesy of the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the United States Army.
Memorial Day has become an American institution - widely regarded as the unofficial summer kickoff of the summer - that it is easy to forget that it has been an official American holiday only since 1971. It began, unofficially, as the Day decoration, a Spring tribute to the victims of the Civil War. By World War I, it had become a memory of the deceased of all the American wars.
The number of Americans who have died responding to the call of duty in their country is staggering: an estimated 620,000 people lost their lives in the Civil War when the country's population was one-tenth of what it is today.
Some of us will gather for parades, ceremonies or collective prayers on this day. Many more participate in Memorial Day rituals that have no real connection to the origins of the party: outdoor meals, road trips, beach trips - savoring the freedoms that were achieved and kept at such a high cost.
We must all pause to honor their sacrifice.

Bangalore is undisputedly the software hub for the IT industry from where India churns out billions of dollars worth of backend work for corporations located abroad. It is a thriving metropolis gone to seed already. The infrastructure just can not cope up.
Flickr is dotted with a rather large number of software and allied engineers who work in Bangalore. This post is to them and their lives.
On the Bangalore Mysore highway, about 50 kms out is a place called Ramadevaraya which is a hill rising up on the right hand side of the road. This is just before the town of Ramanagaram.
A small narrow road snakes up passing the ubiquitous schools of higher professional learning that come up at the oddest of places in India as commercial education mongers / monsters set up their shops anywhere and everywhere they can find a place. So once you have passed the College of Pharmacy and climbed up a smaller hill you come to a small meadow with a lake and barred gates of red blue and white set up by the temple organisers. The stairs about 300 of them leading up to the temple repeat the same color scheme of blue red and white.
There were children raising up a merry din and you could hear that from afar. I thought there was a school group out on a jaunt but there were only 6 of them from the village nearby and it looked that the local schools and colleges would never see these young ones in their classrooms anytime soon. The merry bunch was blissfully unaware of attending a school and what education could or could not give them.
Portrayed here is Sita with a flawless dark skin and she sports a fearless red bindi and possesses an elegant jaw line, high cheekbones and collagen full luscious lips and an inborn grace and poise that was amazing to see and remember the lack of it in the so called professional models that one tends to bump into ever so often. No tutoring what so ever was required. She is a born natural.
This was shot in May 2010 and Poonam Parihar, a fellow Flickr and a software person was also there along with Pooja Prabhu from the LSE, In fact you can find more details of the trip on Poonam's blog.
Poonam says she lost all her footage from the shoot due to a wrong press of a button. I hope the software guys and girls do not delete / format this nation.
This then is as much from her as from me.
