Los corazones de amor deberían ser color azúl, producto de la frecuencia de la luz,ya que el amor produce vibraciones de mayor frecuencia y el espectro de mayor frecuencia de la luz es azúl.
The Rule of Thirds was Friday's Photo Tip from Greg Johnson, wedding photographer and storm chaser, in Regina.
Follow Greg's blog, and I highly recommend taking one of his photography workshops.
I took this image in Freetown, Sierra Leone, while on a work trip for Refugee Action, interviewing former asylum seekers who have been returned to their country of origin. The juxtaposition of the rich world's symbols (Coca-Cola, President Obama, the telecommunication's 'Rule Your World' slogan) with the extreme poverty of the area strikes me as particularly ironic.
Every year on our anniversary, Liz and I have dinner at Rocky Cola Cafe in Uptown Whittier, which was the site of our first date. For our fifth anniversary, I surprised her by getting the same booth we sat at our first time there and popping the proverbial question. And I had a bunch of our friends and family hiding outside to celebrate.

A shot from a couple of years back of my Rules, ex-Barton, Reliance; here seen in Oakham en-route as I took it back to Nottingham for continued preservation and restoration into Barton livery. An excellent job has been made of it now.
Vientiane (ວຽງຈັນ in Laotian, sometimes spelled Viang Chan) is the capital and largest city of Laos, on the banks of the Mekong River near the border with Thailand. Vientiane became the capital in 1563 due to fears of a Burmese invasion, but was later looted then razed to the ground in 1827 by the Siamese. Vientiane was the administrative capital during French rule and, due to economic growth in recent times, is now the economic center of Laos.
Vientiane is noted as the home of the most significant national monument in Laos: That Luang, which is the symbol of Laos and an icon of Buddhism in Laos. Other significant Buddhist temples in Laos can be found there as well, such as Haw Phra Kaew, which formerly housed the Emerald Buddha.
The estimated population of the city is 760,000 (as of 2015).

Taken earlier this week when taking a stroll around one of my favourite places in the UK, Porthleven in Cornwall. My first 'Rules' pic.
Note: Because in certain cases, it's grungy.

Intentionally chose to focus on the feathers rather then the usual eyes. In my opinion I managed to pull it off...*smug*
One can get a little obsessed studying photography rules and ideas, sometimes in place of just getting out there taking photos and getting somewhere with something.

This is the USS New Jersey. One of the last of the big gun ships. One of the final four Iowa-class battleships that survived the end of WWII and plodded along in and out of mothballs until a few years ago.
Thing is, before aircraft were effective, battleships ruled the seas. But that ended at the beginning of WWII when naval aircraft were able to easily sink a bunch of battleships.
Still, they stuck around. What's so valuable that they'd be kept around for so long? Largely that they don't make 'em like they used to. Making battleship guns is hard and, for something that you don't need that many of, mostly cost prohibative. Even in a world of missles that are launched hundreds of miles away, they are quite useful, especiall for chewing up shoreline prior to a landing. You can't shoot down shells like you can shoot down cruise missles and they are far cheaper to make, so you can keep shelling till you've cratered things real good. You can't put them up against a guided missile cruiser, but they still have uses. Especially for one of the few remaining countries capable of a large-scale amphibious landing.
They were last re-activated in the 80s to meet President Regan's goal of a 600 ship Navy. It was either them or the Des Moines class cruisers.. and the Des Moines class was pretty worn out by this point. They did mount missile batteries to them and there was even some serious talks about removing the aft turret and adding either a VLS emplacement or Harriers.
The Marines would really like the navy to keep something with big guns around for shelling, largely because every single amphibious landing in the past century has been aided by heavy use of cannons.
The rest of the military alternates between trying to develop a modern gunfire support option and pointing out that aircraft and missiles are kind of a workable alternative. There have been a few different efforts to put something larger than a 5" gun on the navy ships, but none of them have ever been deployed.
Thing is, high tech weapons are costly. It's far easier to crank out hundreds of thousands of cannon shells than it is to crank out the equivalent firepower in missiles. So even now, two of the battleships need to be kept ready to be brought back into service, just in case.
The New Jersey is a museum ship right across the river from Philly.
I took this as a three-shot stitched panorama.
In case you were wondering about the warships and explanations thereof, I'm neither pro-war nor anti-war, merely a believer in armed pacifism.
Been shooting square, so I don't care. This is at the top of Castor village.
