Stunning in its simplicity, this bear reflects the culture and atmosphere of Birmingham by literally reflecting its community and architectural cityscape.
Repeating The Big Hoot’s multi-award-winning formula, Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity and Wild in Art have teamed up once again to present The Big Sleuth!
To most people, the word ‘sleuth’ means a private detective, but it’s also the collective noun for a group of bears! Bizarre but true. Birmingham has brought both definitions together this summer by bringing the sun bear, the world’s smallest species of bear (now threatened with extinction), to the region for the second free, public-art trail!
The trail, which culminates on Sunday 17th September, is hoping to attract thousands of families, tourists and residents to the region. Hoping they discover places they’ve never visited before, as well as appreciate the beautiful pieces of art!
Each striking sculpture on the trail tells a different story, whether it is raising awareness of the children’s hospital, the plight of the sun bear, celebrating a community, the city’s industrial heritage or a famous film character or artist.
At the end of the trail, the large bears together with the special celebrity bear cubs will be auctioned off in October to raise vital funds for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity. The Big Sleuth’s predecessor, The Big Hoot, raised over £500,000 for the charity at auction, and The Big Sleuth aims to do the same.
The Big Sleuth bear has been created specifically for Birmingham.
Created by Guy McKinley and developed by Wild in Art, our bear sculpture has been designed to act as a canvas for artists, schools and communities to showcase the creativity and uniqueness of Birmingham. The world’s smallest species of bear, the Sun Bear is also known as the Honey Bear as it likes to eat vast quantities of it - using its trademark incredibly long tongue to scoop it all up. The Sun Bear originates from South Asia and will bring out the explorer and traveller in all of us to ensure we all get more active to walk, jog, run or cycle the trail.

The Alhambra is a walled city and fortress in Granada, Spain. Spain was conquered in 714 A.D. by Muslim armies from the north of Africa. The "Moors" remained there for 800 years until Spain was reconquered.....this time by Christians. The Muslims greatly influenced the culture of Spain and for the time they were there, while the rest of Europe was experiencing the "Dark Ages", they developed what was perhaps the greatest center of intellect the world had ever known.
The Alhambra, arguably one of the most beautiful human creations on Earth, was built during the last Islamic sultanate on the Iberian peninsula....the Nasrid Dynasty (1238-1492). It is lavishly decorated with stone and wood carvings and intricate tile patterns on most of the ceilings, walls and floors. Islamic art does not use representations of living beings, but heavily uses geometric patterns, especially symmetric (repeating) patterns.

THIS VIDEO BETTER HURRY UP AND PROCESS.
So, yea. I know it's just 6 photos repeating itself. But it gets faster. Can you figure out why?
The world is improving and changing faster, although most people live th same way they did hundreds of years ago. Like in Africa, there are slaves, like there were in the 1500's. The world is going so fast that noone even see's how things repeat.
A little something by ME.
PROCESS YOU STUPID VIDEO!
I love the grass. How it moves every slide.... i dont have a remote so I had to walk back and forth for each picture!
Question of the Day: Why do I always forget music in my videos? >.<
For 12years I had a friend,which eventualy died in my arms.He was a German-sheppard,named Schatzy,and every day I used to walk him on the same street as this boy is taking his dog for a walk. It's been 5 years since he died,but I still miss him teribly!
Only Pet-owners know what I'm talking about.

#ds106 #dailycreate for May 29, 2013: "Make a photograph that features repeating patterns."
Worked really hard to try to get the phone at just the right angle to take this shot of the ceiling, but I just couldn't get it even vertically. Wanted the vertical lines to be even with the edges of the shot. In the end, my neck pain won out and I stuck with this.
Nothing quite like a repeating pear :-)
Tricky but interesting challenge.
Other early ideas in the first comment.
ODC September 23 Repeat
I'd never really noticed how cereal boxes form a repeating pattern. Makes sense once you see it, but still.
PTM 3/52 Repeating. This was a fun one to edit! Our lava lamp, rotated 180. Edited with Paint The Moon actions - Glitter Pop Base and Sparkle Brush On from Grace (on reds only) and Silver Screen Goddess from Picture Perfect on all else.
National Portrait Gallery. Natural lighting permitted at ceiling level through the use of translucent glazed clerestory windows. V-shaped timber trusses, really quite beautiful in their own right, span the gallery space, with longitudinal concrete sections defining the gallery bays. The these bays are subsequently aligned perpendicular to an important axis set out by Griffin's Canberra scheme. Pretty sweet.
