Lies Baas 2010 Twas the day after Christmas....bwahhahahahahhhh....I'm in for seconds ;-)
On Urbex in Rheine.....not the best shot, but I like the light on the ground, and the dark atmosphere>because it's not all in sync.
Ohh yeah, in Holland we have 2 days of Christmas ;-)
Yesterday, I had time to visit three places. First I went to see Nur and Juju over at Poetika. They have changed it again. Nur's vision and style is pure art. I love checking out what they do on that Sintetika sim. Beautiful glow on the trees on the second floor cast a glow in the chill area. I was there for a long time listening DJ Juju Dollinger spin a nice minimal set.
Later that day, I went and stopped in to say hi to DJ Particle over at Organica. She is also known on the Second LIfe grid as Emi Halical. This cute little avie can kick ass! LOL! I hung out there with the gang and listened to her spin an awesome psy set. Woot Emi!
Later that evening, my angel and I headed for the new sim called Magic of Oz. Totally inspired by the Wizard of Oz, we walked along the yellow brick road following it to Munchkin Land, the scarecrow's wheatfield, along the river to the Emerald City and then to the scary Witches Castle.
You can shop at Magic of Oz, too. Go to the Emerald City for cool stuff. Also, these sim owners peppered the entire place with gifts. You just have to click on the magic items (not telling you what... lol). You gotta go and see this sim... and the music? OMG, Dorothy is singing "Over the Rainbow!"
I went to see "Motown: The Musical" at the Oriental Theatre on the second night it was open here in Chicago.
It was phenomenal - the sets, performances, songs, orchestra, venue... everything. These were songs my Mom and her generation heard on the radio as teens and twenty-somethings, and that we kids heard on "Oldies" radio. I actually kind of want to see it again. The actress who played Diana Ross was a particular standout in her role.
Downtown, The Loop, Chicago, Illinois.

Dinner aboard the Mikhail Lermontov, June 1977
We took the Lermontov from New York City to London, where I had a job for the year. It was quite an experience. Took 7 days (which is slow). There were many East Europeans and Russians on the ship, mostly UN or embassy, returning for the summer.
Sadly, the ship sank in the South Pacific in 1986.

c1910 postcard view of Second Street in Reynolds, Indiana. Several residents, including a group of boys in coats and ties, were out on the sidewalks for this photograph. No explanation was offered to explain their presence for the photograph.
The photographer was clearly facing east and was standing in or near the Kenton Street intersection when this photograph was taken. The building at the left was on the northeast corner and advertised implements manufactured by IHC (International Harvester) and JOHN DEERE as well as STUDEBAKER BUGGIES AND WAGONS. The smaller sign below the JOHN DEERE sign advertised ROCK ISLAND PLOWS. Farther east, a wooden enclosure for a gasoline pump stood in front of the two-story brick building. That building appears to be the same building that stood just east of the alley until just a few years ago. That building was the K. of P. (Knights of Pythias) Building. A little farther east, the railroad crossing sign identified the location of the Monon Railroad crossing.
A single buggy was in the street across from the K. of P. Building. East of that buggy on the south side of the street, a RESTAURANT sign hung over the sidewalk. No other business signs were readable.
From a private collection.

One of my daughter's close friends is moving house tomorrow (I am helping out so think of me tomorrow, moving boxes and boxes and boxes of stuff). During the big clear up, the friend decided she no longer wanted this electronic keyboard, so it now lives here. This place is turning into a repository for musical instruments and general music paraphernalia. Anyone would think my daughter hopes to pursue a career in music!

So my husband surprised me with a trip to the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend. We had an awesome time and the weather cooperated most of the weekend. I have a lot of reflection shots from the beach so I thought I would start with this one. It got pretty cold after spending over an hour with my feet getting wet. But there was one photographer who went out into the water up to his chest and was taking photos as he was jumping as the waves came in. I was fine with just getting wet up t o my knees.
The church at 1938 S. Michigan Ave. opened in 1874. James Renwick is the architect. After a fire in 1900, archtect Howard Van Doren Shaw designed a new interior and altered the exterior. Seven stained-glass windows are from Tiffany & Company.
