Another of my favourite views from Kaieteur - the mountain tops, one after the other repeating the same lines.
---------
My 2nd visit to Kaieteur Falls = the largest (in volume) single drop waterfall in the world, where the Potaro River falls 741 ft in the Pakaraima Mountain Range. The top of the falls is about 1500 above sea level.
(Existence as we know it ceases without warning)
Beware all of those silent trickster evolutions.
Science is the unattainable God pretending to provide impossible solutions.
Orbiting, floating it out, working, patiently waiting out all of these quiet revolutions.
The new species is in waiting.
Our destiny remains steady and marches closer toward a fool’s martyrdom.

The new Colston Hall in Bristol, it's rather an intriguing building that's particularly photogenic... If you catch it at the right angle you can see the Colston Tower Clock repeatedly reflected in the window... It looks very cool :)

Well I got what I wanted, another big fall of snow which covered all the trees and spread its magic everywhere you looked.
I could only walk locally so I did find myself repeating shots I've done in previous snowy winters (like this one) but there are subtle differences so all in all I've had a thoroughly enjoyable and productive day ......back to work as normal tomorrow.

Melissa's birthday card this year. I gave her a coupon for a nice dinner out.
I continued the pattern on the backside as well, and am thinking it'd make a nice wrapping paper pattern.

The Daily Shoot assignment for 2010/12/16:
Find a repeating pattern today and make a photograph of it.
There are lots of patterns in this one actually. the bells themselfs repete their orientation around the hoop, the pattern of the background. even the bokeh is, round like the bells. I really want to try to keep up with the daily shoot over this break. Please let me know what you think in the comments!

Edited fabric pattern for Japanese clothes from the de Young Museum in San Francisco. The patterns all repeat in at least one direction. Pattern repeats vertically.
Repeating patterns are like puzzles for our brains because, we look for slight differences.

Went for a chilly walk this morning and came across this walkway. There are several repeating patterns...The pillars, the trellis, the bricks, the lines in the benches....worked for me.

Impressive stone-carving on the Jenner's Building in Edinburgh.

Betsy and I stopped at the ATM on the corner of Irving and 9th ave so she could deposit a check. As soon as we approached the ATM, this guy appeared on the sidewalk behind us shouting repeatedly, "LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! LOOK! LEMME SEE! LEMME SEE! LEMME SEE! LEMME SEE!"
Betsy looked back briefly while I ignored him. As he kept on repeating his odd series of words, I pulled out my camera, and just as we departed the ATM I snapped this shot of him. As soon as I took the picture, he shouted, "SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS YOU FUCKING FAGGOT! SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!"
And then we went over to Le Video.
The Spencer repeating rifle was an early American lever-action firearm invented by Christopher Spencer. This was the world's first military metallic cartridge repeating rifle, produced from 1860. Offered to the US Army right after the Civil War broke out in 1861, the view by the Department of War Ordnance Department was that soldiers would waste ammunition by shooting too rapidly at the enemy with repeating rifles, and thus denied a government contract for all such weapons. Shortly after the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, the repeating rifle was demonstrated to President Abraham Lincoln, who was impressed and ordered the Army to adopt it for production, but the Army disobeyed the order. At the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center.
In Sep 1863, the US Army under General Rosecrans seized the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a railway center and gateway to the Confederate industrial centers of Atlanta and northern Georgia. The Army advanced about 10 miles (16 km) past the city, almost to West Chickamauga Creek, southeast of Chattanooga. The Confederate response was to reinforce their army under General Bragg and counterattack later that month. The counterattack, known as the Battle of Chickamauga, succeeded in driving General Rosecrans and two of his three corps commanders in headlong retreat back to Chattanooga. The third commander, General Thomas, held firm, allowing the fleeing forces to recover and earning for himself the nickname "The Rock of Chickamauga." With 34,600 casualties for both sides, the Battle of Chickamauga was second only to the Battle of Gettysburg in Civil War losses.

A sidewalk with patterns similar to the National Aquatics Center to which it leads. Taken at the Olympic Park in Beijing.
The Olympic Park (北京奧林匹克公å›/Beijing Aolinpike Gongyuan) in Beijing, China, hosted the summer games in 2008. The park is located in the Chaoyang district of Beijing, a bit north of downtown. The easiest access (by subway) is simply to go to the Olympic National Stadium station or Olympic Park station on subway line 8.
On the grounds of the park are most of the recognizable sites from the game. Most notable are the National Sports Stadium (Birds’ Nest) and National Aquatic Center (Water Cube). Also on the grounds are the National Indoor Stadium, the Olympic Green Hockey Field, Olympic Green Tennis Center, and Olympic Green Archery Field.
For non-sporting venues, there’s a long Promenade running north-south through the middle of the complexes. Ling Long Pagoda is just north of the Birds’ Nest. Also on the grounds, post-Olympics, are quite a few interesting sculptures (reminiscent of the Olympic Park in Seoul, although their sculpture park is more centralized within the park).
One thing that you don’t see much of at the Olympic Green is…green. It’s mostly paved and concrete. (Perhaps I didn’t explore enough, which I’ll remedy quite soon.) Regardless of the time of year or time of day, there are always quite a few people at the Olympic Park. True to Chinese nature, you are beset upon by vendors hawking all kinds of trinkets upon leaving the subway. Kites, souvenirs, having your picture taken, you name it…
Thanks to the art located throughout the park, it’s a pleasant place to visit during the daytime. During the night, it’s even more attractive as they still light the Birds’ Nest and the Water Cube. (Of the two, the Water Cube is less appealing during the day and more appealing at night.)
Of the venues, I don’t know which ones are open and closed to the public. Most of the seating in each has been reduced after the Olympics. I do know for a fact, though, that you can tour the Birds’ Nest (limited access, of course) for about 80 RMB. I think that may include access to the roof. I haven’t taken that tour yet, but may at some point.
Although there isn’t much to do at the park here, it’s definitely an interesting side trip in Beijing and could possibly be coupled with something like the Bell Tower & Drum Tower (a few stations down line 8) or the Yonghegong Lama Temple (about 5-6 subway stops away, but 2 subway transfers).
