Wet lashes but my eyes are still brown.

Same photo after SUPER quick run through PTLens and Lightroom, including, apparently, a drastic oversharpening.

These two beautiful ladies are friends of mine who are fed with consequently being mistaken for one person. With this picture we tried to express that they are to different persons who have their similarities, yes, but are in no case one person. While one is open and loves to make experiences, the other enjoys good talks and is very warm with people caring for her. Both of them are extremely lovely, of course. And they love each other the way they are. As two different individuums descending from same roots.

UFO's are attacking (bit.ly/WrHVWe), Cold War tension is running high & a young couple are on the run in Director Domenic Barbero & Darkheart Visions' (www.DarkheartVisions.com) 'The Same Way' Music Video. Starring Andrew Entrikin, Kent Loomer & Zoe Schackel, the piece was filmed in Bellingham, Washington with thanks to all involved for making it happen.

Amazing what a difference a day makes, I think there is a song with them words in it......... from yesterdays thick mist / fog to a more subtle mist, glad I got up this morning, within a hour it had all vanished...

So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again, I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars beneath my feet

Remember rights that I did wrong

So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go

My mind is muddy but

My heart is heavy, does it show

I lose the track that loses me

So here I go

Oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

And so I sent some men to fight,

And one came back at dead of night,

Said "Have you seen my enemy?"

Said "he looked just like me"

So I set out to cut myself

And here I go

Oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

I'm not calling for a second chance,

I'm screaming at the top of my voice,

Give me reason, but don't give me choice,

Cos I'll just make the same mistake again,

Oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

And maybe someday we will meet

And maybe talk and not just speak

Don't buy the promises 'cause

There are no promises I keep,

And my reflection troubles me

So here I go

Oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

I'm not calling for a second chance,

I'm screaming at the top of my voice,

Give me reason, but don't give me choice,

Cos I'll just make the same mistake (REPEAT) again

Oo oooooo ooo ooo oo oooo...

So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again, I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars

Look at the stars, falling down,

And I wonder where, did I go wrong.

Same pose, different angle.

Being the new girl around here, Amelia just doesn't have many photos so she needed some attention. :)

The same figures that adorn the rooflines of the forbidden city can be seen here at the House of Heavenly Lord at the Temple of Heaven. Interestingly there are only five total figures here, whereas in the forbidden city there were sometimes as many as seven (including the dragon and the man on the horse.)

Same sunrise, taken a few minutes later - after my 'deck' sunrise image.

Same as the previous image with black and white conversion and yellow filter preset. I think I might go for a real one with a bit of delta 100 next time I'm down there.

Same leopard as another shot, but this time put into B & W with Nik's Sliver Efx Pro and Aperture 3. Now I like it even more, it looks... well, dreamy.

BBC News website was having a funny five minutes. Someone's head will roll.

I played hooky today and spent the day with the inventor of the egg carton and refrigerator shipping (the same great lady!), the creator of Thanksgiving and Mary Had a Little Lamb (the same lady!), a signer of The Declaration of Independence, the voice of the Phillies, an Arctic explorer, Titanic victims and many many more! I spent the day at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. A cemetery on my visit wish list! One more off the list! I got to half of it. HALF! I missed some major monuments, but there was just no time! If you enjoy Victorian art, you must visit this cemetery…it’s more art garden than graveyard. So pick a nice day…bring along a picnic basket and make the day of it!

Better on Black

Laurel Hill Cemetery is a great cemetery. It would be a great thing if all cemeteries could be like Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. They get the community involved by having fun events (not just tours) in the cemetery itself. Folktales, music, balls, banquets…all in the cemetery. It’s exactly what the founders wanted. A city park that is open for all. There just happens to be people buried there, that’s all!

The following info was taken from www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org If you live in the Philadelphia area and have not checked out the great events at the cemetery, you must do so!

Picnics, strolls, carriage rides and sightseeing were popular pastimes in Laurel Hill’s early days, when “nearly 30,000 persons…entered the gates between April and December, 1848.” The site continues to remain a favored retreat for tourists, joggers, bicyclists, nature lovers, sketch artists and amateur photographers.

Laurel Hill is one of the few cemeteries in the nation to be honored with the designation of National Historic Landmark, a title received in 1998. Numerous prominent people are buried at the Cemetery, including many of Philadelphia’s leading industrial magnates. Names such as Rittenhouse, Widener, Elkins and Strawbridge certainly pique local interests, but Laurel Hill also appeals to a national audience. General Meade and thirty-nine other Civil War-era generals reside here, in addition to six Titanic passengers. As in its earliest days, Laurel Hill’s natural beauty and serenity continue to render it a bucolic retreat nestled within the city’s limits overlooking the Schuylkill River. This beautiful green space is further complemented by the breathtaking art, sculpture and architecture that can be found here. These are just some of the many attributes that render Laurel Hill Cemetery a primary destination for local and national visitors to the City of Brotherly Love.

History

In late 1835, John Jay Smith, a Quaker and librarian, recorded in his diary: “The City of Philadelphia has been increasing so rapidly of late years that the living population has multiplied beyond the means of accommodation for the dead…on recently visiting Friends grave yard in Cherry Street I found it impossible to designate the resting place of a darling daughter, determined me to endeavor to procure for the citizens a suitable, neat and orderly location for a rural cemetery.”

Smith’s very personal experience ultimately had very public implications, as less than one year later, this grieving father founded Laurel Hill Cemetery with partners Nathan Dunn, Benjamin W. Richards and Frederick Brown. When Smith conceived of Laurel Hill, he envisioned something fundamentally different from the burial places that came before it, and the site has continued to hold an important place of distinction as one of the first cemeteries of its kind. Key concepts to Laurel Hill’s founding were that it had to be situated in a picturesque location well outside the city; that it had no religious affiliation; and that it provided a permanent burial space for the dead in a restful and tranquil setting.
