Siena, Toscany October 2010 HDR
Piazza del Campo is the principal public space of the historic center of Siena, Tuscany, Italy and is one of Europe's greatest medieval squares. It is renowned worldwide for its beauty and architectural integrity. The Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia, as well as various palazzi signorili surround the shell-shaped piazza. At the northwest edge is the Fonte Gaia.
The twice-per-year horse-race, Palio di Siena, is held around the edges of the piazza.

The open site was a marketplace established before the thirteenth century on a sloping site near the meeting point of the three hillside communities that coalesced to form Siena: the Castellare, the San Martino and the Camollia. Siena may have had earlier Etruscan settlements, but it was not a considerable Roman settlement, and the campo does not lie on the site of a Roman forum, as is sometimes suggested. It was paved in 1349 in fishbone-patterned red brick with ten lines of travertine, which divide the piazza into nine sections, radiating from the mouth of the gavinone (the central water drain) in front of the Palazzo Pubblico. The number of divisions are held to be symbolic of the rule of The Nine (Noveschi) who laid out the campo and governed Siena at the height of its mediaeval splendour between 1292-1355. It was and remains the focal point of public life in the City. From the piazza, eleven narrow shaded streets radiate into the city.
The palazzi signorili that line the square, housing the families of the Sansedoni, the Piccolomini and the Saracini etc, have unified rooflines, in contrast to earlier tower houses — emblems of communal strife — such as may still be seen not far from Siena at San Gimignano. In the statutes of Siena, civic and architectural decorum was ordered :"...it responds to the beauty of the city of Siena and to the satisfaction of almost all people of the same city that any edifices that are to be made anew anywhere along the public thoroughfares...proceed in line with the existent buildings and one building not stand out beyond another, but they shall be disposed and arranged equally so as to be of the greatest beauty for the city."[1]
The unity of these Late Gothic houses is effected in part by the uniformity of the bricks of which their walls are built: brick-making was a monopoly of the commune, which saw to it that standards were maintained. (Ingersoll)
At the foot of the Palazzo Pubblico's wall is the late Gothic Chapel of the Virgin built as an ex voto by the Sienese, after the terrible Black Death of 1348 had ended.

The slide rule, also known colloquially in the United States as a slipstick, is a mechanical analog computer. The slide rule is used primarily for multiplication and division, and also for functions such as roots, logarithms and trigonometry.
I just thought this was funny.

Lots of rules and laws in French life.... one of the things that keeps community life so civil, or so it seems to me. Those shown here regulate the parks, gardens, and green spaces. Signed by the mayor of the city.

I also have a rule that I shouldn't post comments or pics when I have been drinking. Sometimes I break that rule.
Orange is probably my favourite colour. Oranges are probably my favourite fruits. Lotus is one of my favourite car manufacturers. So what happens when you combine these (minus the fruit) to create an photo of an orange Lotus. Well, this really. What am I talking about? So yeah, where was I? Oh right, the Exige. One of the best handling cars around and has recently been updated. I am yet to see a new exige and, to be honest, I don't love it as much as this Exige. It seems more tame and routine maybe? I don't feel it has the same zing as the S2 and it doesn't seem to have have that, so-called 'fizzing sensation'.
As ever, what do you like about this photo and is there anything you would have done differently?
For every comment/favourite I get, I will comment/favourite on one of your photos.
I also have one final things to ask of you guys. I am probably going to upload some Macro photography, as I am doing an Art GCSE . So I would like to get more people looking at my shots and giving me feedback so that I can improve my photos and get better grades!
I've only seen a couple of episodes of Naruto but remember seeing some rule 63 fan art of Naruto after a transformation with strategically place "vapor" covering her bits. So my best guess is that this is a cosplay of that art?
I spared you from seeing my feet. I'm all about the bare feet, so they ain't pretty... besides who has ever heard of the rule of fourths?

Damoxenos of Syracuse and Kreugas of Epidamnos
In Greek boxing the only legitimate target was the head. If opponents were too evenly matched and a bout seemed like it would never end, judges would order the boxers to strike a single blow to the head in turns until someone gave up or could not continue. This happened at the Nemean Games circa 400 BC. Kreugas dealt his blow with his fist, as per the rules. Damoxenos instead thrust his fingertips beneath Kreugas’ ribcage and tore out his intestines. Kreugas was declared posthumous victor, not because Damoxenos had not aimed for his head, but that his four fingertips counting as four separate blows. A statue was erected of Kreugas at Argos.

Ancient Sagalassos....is an active archaeological site in southwest Turkey which contains mostly Hellenistic and Ancient Roman historic ruins, some of them very well preserved. In particular, the Fountain of Antoninler at Sagalassos still has its pretty facade. There are also the remains of a 9,000 seat theatre, a council hall (bouleuterion), a library, rock carved tombs, temples and baths. Part of the Phrygian kingdom from the ninth century BC and then part of the Lydian kingdom, Sagalassos became more urbanized under the Persian Empire from 546BC, becoming a focal point in the region of Pisidia over the course of two centuries. In 334BC, Alexander the Great arrived in the region and attacked Sagalassos, eventually succeeding in destroying it, although its citizens did put up a good fight. Over the coming centuries, the Pisidia region - including Sagalassos - changed hands several times, finally coming under Roman rule in 129BC. The prosperity of Sagalassos fluctuated over the end of the first century BC, but slowly it became more successful, particularly because of the fertility of its land and the production of a material called Sagalassos Red Slip Ware, a type of tableware. Much of this affluence translated into the construction of buildings and monuments, especially during the second century AD, under Hadrian, and up to the third century. Sagalassos began to fall into decline in around 500AD and this was accelerated by a devastating earthquake in 590AD. Although abandoned for a long period of time, the area was further inhabited from the tenth century AD.
Almighty God Is the One True God Who Rules Over All Things | God Himself | www.holyspiritspeaks.org/almighty-god-is-the-only-true-go...
Everything of this world swiftly changes with the Almighty’s thoughts and beneath His eyes. Things mankind has never heard of suddenly arrive, whereas things that mankind has long possessed unknowingly slip away. No one can fathom the Almighty’s whereabouts, much less can anyone sense the transcendence and greatness of the Almighty’s life force.

Was trying the rule of thirds. If only the kid walked in the opposite direction this would've been a better shot but thats the thing about street photography. Every given shot is a gift. n_n
Let's face it... the rules of Qudditch are daft. Essentially, the other players can go for a cup of tea instead of playing since as soon as the golden snitch is caught, the game is won regardless of how many points have been scored. Not that Marcus Flint and Draco Malfoy would pay much attention to the rules anyway!
