The Rietveld Pavilion in the sculpture garden of the the Kröller-Müller Museum in Park Hoge Veluwe with sculptures by Hepworth, Couzijn & De Vries.
The famous Sculpture Garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum in Park Hoge Veluwe is one of the largest in Europe. The magnificent collection of sculptures is exhibited in an innovative way, surrounded by nature. Various artists, from the late 19th century to today, are represented: Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Richard Serra, Mario Merz, Jean Dubuffet and Claes Oldenburg.
The Rietveld Pavilion in the sculpture garden of the museum was restored in 2010. Gerrit Rietveld (1884-1964) designed the pavilion for the display of small sculptures at the Third International Sculpture Exhibition in Arnhem’s Sonsbeek Park in 1955. This ‘Sonsbeek Pavilion’ was intended as a temporary structure, and it was dismantled when the exhibition was over. On the initiative of several Dutch architects, the building found a permanent home in the Kröller-Müller Museum’s sculpture garden, under a new name: the ‘Rietveld Pavilion’. The second Rietveld Pavilion in the sculpture garden of the museum was built in 1965.
From the very outset, the maintenance of the Rietveld Pavilion was a constant source of concern. Every conceivable method was considered and tried, from conservation and restoration to copying and replacing parts of the building, but it eventually became clear that the structure was beyond saving. The 1965 pavilion has been disassembled. In 2010, the museum has rebuild the structure with new materials, while adhering as closely as possible to Gerrit Rietveld’s original design. Wherever possible, parts of the 1965 pavilion that were still in adequate condition have been reused. Construction work began in January and finished in September 2010. The new, third version of the pavilion now stands in the museum’s sculpture garden, preserving Rietveld’s world-famous design for the future. The pavilion is the property of the Government Buildings Agency (GBA) of the State of the Netherlands, which, as its owner, is responsible for its maintenance. The GBA was also overseeing the restoration project on behalf of the Kröller-Müller Museum
I shot this picture during my workshop in Toronto. We had a bit of fun (okay, a TON of fun) throwing flour and baby powder all over the model. I only got 3 shots from it, as it should be given that I was teaching, but I was morning the fact that the shots were looking aaamazing and I wanted one. So later on I took what I had, which really was just to demo the scene, and I decided to look at it in a unique way. I decided to edit the picture to be drastically different from what it looked like in my camera and I came out with something that I'm proud of.
Model is Richelle Coomey.

Upper East Side, Central Park - Jun 2008 - 085
These pictures were taken on two successive days when I had doctor appointments on the Upper East Side of NYC, and had the chance to walk along Fifth Avenue, and then through Central Park in order to return to my apartment on the Upper West Side, at Broadway & 96th
I had spotted this woman jogging in Central Park a little earlier -- how could you not notice someone in a bright pink top and pink hat? She had been running south, while I was walking north, and she went by too quickly for me to get a picture.
But about ten minutes later, as I was approaching Columbus Avenue and 96th Street, she jogged past me again ... she had to stop at Columbus Avenue, because of the traffic, so she was actually jogging in place when I took this picture...
Note: on Sep 26, 2012, I replaced the original version of this photo with a slightly edited one. All I did was some relatively minor adjusting of "hot spots" and "cold spots" -- but unfortunately, I was unable to remove all the monochromatic blackness in the woman's tights Unfortunately, the original photo was shot as a JPG image, before I learned about the benefits of shooting in RAW and making more subtle adjustments with my Aperture photo-editing program...

Listed in the National Archives of the Smithsonian as one of the most outstanding buildings in the U.S. known for its historic restoration, City Hall in Bay City was built between 1894 and 1897. In 1980, the building was completely restored at a cost of $3.3 million and following a fire in 2010 underwent a $5 million upgrade and rehabilitation. It is one of the finest examples of municipal architecture in the modern Romanesque style to be found in this country and exemplifies one of many outstanding preservation efforts in Bay City.

This lone Mute Swan, Cygnus olor, looked cute, fuzzy and lost. Never fear, it's mother was close by, behind the cattails. But the cantankerous male was off harassing a pair of Canada Geese and some photographers.
Mute Swans, a non-native species, are large and beautiful, but have become a problem in many areas of Michigan, aggressively displacing native species. Some areas have taken steps to control the burgeoning population of Mute Swans, usually by replacing or interfering with eggs in the nest. Sometimes more "drastic" measures have been used.

The Matra M530 2+2 sports car replaced the 1964-1967 Matra Djet, and was the first really 'own' sports car.
It was designed by Philippe Guédon, who came from Simca, and was further more styled by Jacques Nochet.
The March 1970 facelift was done by Studio Michelotti with the arrival of the LX version.
The side emblem of the M530 says LX-S- version. But it's a M530 SX. This was the cheaper version of the M520 range, which was introduced in October 1971.
It differed from the LX with its four fixed headlights instead of hidden headlamps. Further more, it had a fixed roof and had black bumper bars and trims, while the LX had chrome ones.

I was asked to take some family photos but with a twist ... or a Teddy to be specific. It was a glum day, cold and muggy. I didnt really plan for the day because it was short notice so we took a big bag full of props. This Teddy inspired a few ideas and the shoot was a success
Every bear that there ever was, would gather there for certain because, today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic ...
i've replaced this image with what i think is a better copy. i don't quite get why, but the other one had some wobbly looking halos to it and wouldn't go big. so here you have what i see in my file.

Northbound train 555, the CP Rail number replacing the D&H era PYRP and WR-7 symbols, winds along the old Lackawanna mainline at Conklin, a short distance away from East Binghamton Yard, on 24 June 1991. Leading an assortment of Norfolk Southern power is a Chessie System SD40-2, one of only 20 units from that carrier that joined the CSX roster. Before they were rivals, the two southern giants assisted the D&H in maintaining some competition against Conrail, the Northeastern kingpin that by the end of the decade would join the D&H into history at the hands of NS and CSX.

At the time a popular bridge for photographers on the Erewash.....Bridge 34a at Lee Lane ,Langley Mill was in a poor state as can be seen here the day before it was replaced.....The extra strengthening had been put in on the wider trackbed of the former Ripley route, some would say to hold up all the gricers that would stand in that corner....While the bridge had been left to rot externally.....an equally neglected 58040 "Cottam Power Station" heads an unidentified south bound MGR from the Nottinghamshire coalfield on 13th Feb 98....Today we have the new replacement green footbridge,but unfortunately its becoming increasingly surrounded by trees.

The Brickell Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge in Downtown Miami, Florida, that carries U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Brickell Avenue) over the Miami River.
The original Brickell Avenue Bridge was built in 1929 and replaced in 1995. The Brickell Avenue Bridge was widened by one additional northbound lane in 2006 to reduce the traffic bottleneck through downtown. Before this, there were three southbound but only two northbound lanes. Currently, there are three lanes in each direction as well as a pedestrian walkway on both sides. Still, the bridge causes frequent traffic delays on the busy Brickell Avenue when it opens. According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the bridge opened 4,990 times in 2010.
The statue is a 53-foot bronze monument commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation and created by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell in 1995. The "Pillar of History" consists of a 36-foot high carved bas-relief column that graphically narrates the lives of the Tequesta Indians, Miami's first inhabitants, and features 158 figures. At the top stands a 17-foot bronze sculpture, "Tequesta Family" portraying a Tequesta Indian warrior aiming an arrow to the sky, looking for space in eternity, with his wife and child by his side, while the son covers his face in expectation of their extinction.
Carbonell also created four bas reliefs, measuring 4-feet by 8-feet, which were installed in niches on the bridge's supporting piers. Each relief honors Miami's early founders and pioneers - William and Mary Brickell, Henry Flagler, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Julia Tuttle.

Emilio Longoni (Barlassina, 9 July 1859 - Milan, 29 November 1932) - Child with trumpet and horse (1893-96) - Oil on canvas applied on cardboard 41 x 18 cm. - Exhibition Divisionism The revolution of light - Novara Castle
Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.

Named: "Odd Viking".
This aircraft has quite a simple history. Delivered new to SAS in Oct-56, it flew with them for 11 years until it was traded in to Sud Aviacion in part-exchange for Caravelles.
It was stored at Bordeaux, France in Aug-67. It was sold to Air Management Corp in Aug-74 and continued to be stored at Bordeaux until it was finally scrapped in 1980. Oddly, it spent more time sitting on the ground at Bordeaux (13years) than it did in service with SAS.
At the start of the First World War in 1914 the British Government needed effective communications with frontline troops and replaced messengers on horses with despatch riders on motorcycles. Several models were tested for suitability, and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499 cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.
Engine differences from the previous Model A included a single cam wheel with two cams replacing separate cam wheels for the inlet and exhaust valve, and new design of cylinder casting. Valve head diameter was enlarged, and the valves were spaced further apart. The Model H was fitted with a Sturmey-Archer three-speed countershaft gearbox operated by a hand gear change lever.
More than 30,000 Triumph Model H motorcycles had been produced by the end of the war in 1918. The Triumph Engineering Co Ltd had been using the advertising slogan Trusty Triumph since 1910 and the Model H became known as 'The Trusty' as it proved reliable in wartime conditions, despite a weakness in the front fork spring. This was prone to break on rough ground, so despatch riders would strap a leather belt around it as a precaution.
This 1915 Triumph Model H and beautiful wicker sidecar is one of more than 1,000 British machines on display in the National Motorcycle Museum.
