This seemingly simple but nicely detailed and textured building I think is to be part of the University. Interesting, the board describing the builders etc mentions Arup, the designers of Greyfriars! So I'll guess this'll be labelled a eyesore in 40-50 years. And in 200 years we'll all be pissed because we knocked down all our heritage..
Despite the seemingly painful stick in his eye socket, this snowman still smiles.
I also noticed that this snowman had to have been built prior to the blizzard. How do I know? A) the blizzard snow was HORRIBLE for packing (much too powdery to roll into snowballs for making snowmen); B) no evidence of snow rolling nearby; C) the snow blew and drifted around him during the blizzard (look around his base; it's just like all the trees look after the blizzard).
Seemingly more interested in picking flowers than finding Easter eggs, a toddler squats on the lawn of the Village Pavilion on Patrick Henry Village in Heidelberg April 24. (U.S. Army photo by Elizabeth Casebeer, USAG Baden-Württemberg)
Negotiating an area seemingly cluttered from engineering work, London Midland Class 153 No. 153356 approaches Bletchley from the Marston Vale Line, bringing in the 11:55 service from Bedford on 10th April 2012.
There were lots of dead trees along the trail and we speculated as to the cause. Upon closer inspection, though, the so-called dead branches actually had buds forming so rumors of their demise were greatly exaggerated

Seemingly many cultures have similar sports to Bull (or cow) fighting. The Koreans are much more tame about it than the Spanish and Mexicans. There at the Chong-do Festival of Cow Fighting, the cows are coerced to headbut and "fight" until one gives up and retreats. No Killing. Only a little blood.
Quite amusingly it was often more of a battle for the trainers to get their cows interested than it was a battle between cows. We saw numerous cows simply not interested.
The seemingly successful Jada Pink Slips line which I believe has now had several different mixes is blatant badge engineering at its best. Taking some of the best castings Majorette have to offer and then add their own unique colour schemes and packaging appears to be a good combination. Despite Tesco no longer selling them thanks to their toy departments now being managed by The Entertainer I had assumed nobody else would take on the Pink Slips series but thankfully Morrisons have and offer the latest mix.
Subtlety isn't the name of the game here, its all about bright vivid hues to attract the Fast & Furious loving crowd though there isn't any direct connection with that movie franchise.
This Aston Martin Vantage GT8 has been clearly designed and coloured to suit its performance racing prowess and being a Majorette casting ensures it has opening doors, working suspension and clear lense headlights.
Mint and boxed.
Seemingly surplus to requirements, these chairs were gradually being overtaken by the undergrowth at the surprisingly bucolic Popham airfield.

There are seemingly endless muddy canyons and creeks in these parts, sometimes moonscape formations, so unusual and different to Europe, or at least places I'm familiar with.
This collection of drawing books is a selection from the many I made in the 1980's of my travels in U.S.A. For many years my art was almost exclusively based on my travels and of American landscapes. I was influenced by Van Gogh's drawings at the time and also American artist Charles Burchfield. I was looking to capture something of the atmosphere of the place, drawing was a way to imprint these places upon my mind. Even now I can recall all these places in my minds eye in a way that had I taken a photograph I doubt I'd be able. Somehow drawing stills or stops time, in these patterns and marks there is something about the place that remains. Since these early works I have looked at drawing in many and various ways, but what remains is its foundational place in my art. The journey in The Deep South was the first of many such extensive travels, and these notes help to make these drawings part of the exhibition the following year at Farnham Maltings (The Human Land 1984).
Well, actually we saw a couple of people walking in there. And judging by the mercedes and BMW parked up front, we decided it was better if we stayed outside. What a shame!
The interior is a delight, seemingly unrestored, long and low with a plastered ceiling to the nave, a strange almost featureless chancel arch and a fine C15 panelled wagon roof to the chancel having carved wall plates with fleurons, ribs and bosses (although most of these restored). The clue was the small windows at the west end of the nave for a west gallery, although the present one seems to be more of a reinstatement of what was once here rather than original C17 work which the listing information says (and Pevsner offers early C19). It is accessed by a pull down ladder on small wheels, and you can closely inspect the Royal Arms dated 1792. Much of the woodwork is C17, there is extra seating available by pulling out sliding benches. Painted texts on the wall too, including one "The aged women...... shall teach the young women to be sober, to be chaste, keepers at home, to love their husbands." The north transept is subdivided and has a glazed screen to the two sections beyond (locked). The only jarring features, clearly seen in my view, the electronic sixties/seventies-styled organ behind the C13 font and the prominently displayed fire extinguisher! The village stocks are preserved in the porch, presumably for among others those young women who did not heed the advice inside!
While yesterday’s confirmation of a virtual October 14 launch event under the cryptic tagline “Ultra Stops at Nothing” means it is now open season for revealing OnePlus 8T 5G teasers and official announcements of impending features, the company is obviously unlikely to corroborate any specific pricing rumors in the near future. Of course, these types […]

The hours are seemingly lighter and warmer and the clocks are ready to go forward. Summertime has come to The Monkey Thurgoland. Here are a few pictures of the artworks currently on show. All of the art shown in these images was created by Anthony Roy Youel. These pictures were not taken to convey the artworks accurately rather they are set here to show them in biased lighting conditions as you might see them at the gallery.

When Robert Cremean walked through the seemingly
endless corridors of the Vatican Museum in Rome, he was
struck not only by the vastness of the place but by the
number of sculptures it contains, many of which are
neutered by a fig leaf. To him, the sculptures in the museum
represented an enormous collection of mixed metaphors and
only a rare few met his definition of “transparency.” On the
fourth page of his Preparatory Study for VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography he wrote:
The enclosure of one metaphor by another—one culture by
another—one time segment by another. “Paganism” is preserved
through forfeit of genitalia—neutered by a fig leaf. Miles of
historical artifacts enclosed within an historical artifact. And yet
there are a few presences that are not dead—not neutered. A few
glimpses— Man existing without metaphor. A few Transparencies.
Are these not worth the endless walk?
Within the concept “One man=all men,” VATICAN
CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography was conceived as
an actual and metaphorical record of the journey through
the life of the artist and, by extension, a projection of the
possibilities we all share and may attain. Within both of the
facing walls are ten carved life-sized figures symbolically
conjoined by arches to form a “corridor of the self. ” As Robert
Cremean wrote:
Each arch represents three years and the Corridor of Self-Analysis
begins with my seventeenth year.
It was within the time span of the First Arch he declared
himself a sculptor.
Prior to acquiring the materials necessary for the actualizing
of the sculpture in wood, he spent two months creating
the detailed preparatory study for the entire work, a process
he had followed on only two prior occasions, one for
DONOR WITH CRUCIFIXION and the other, although more
suggestive than detailed, for HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE.
From the first three pages of searching to the final pages of
resolution, the artist’s graphic description of the threedimensional
work provides us with the opportunity to read
the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of
art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted
symbolically through the human figure. Since this is an
actual and a metaphorical autobiography, the Preparatory
Study for VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography
literarily addresses both.
Because each of the ten arches in the Preparatory Study
and in the completed sculpture spans a period of three years
in the artist’s life, the Tenth Arch was a projection five years
into the future and was at last updated twenty-two years
later in the writing in 1995, and with the publication by
Manuscript Press in 1996, of THE TENTH ARCH, the sculptural
Tenth Arch realized in the form of a book.
As the name implies, the sculpture is in the form of an
actual corridor. It measures eight feet tall, forty feet in length,
and with a width of ten feet. The facing walls of the corridor
are each formed by ten carved blocks of laminated sugar pine
planks for an overall measurement each of 8' x 24½" x 16".
The first figure of the Outer Wall, the “who,”is nearly fully
revealed in the round. But by the Tenth Arch, it has been transposed
into a negative, much like a waste-mold, only the egg
shape of the final transposition still in place. Block by block
and transposition after transposition, the three-dimensional
figure is displaced by a concavity as the wall that contained it
grows thicker and thicker. The reverse is true in each of the
corresponding figures and blocks of the Inner Wall. Each part
of the human figure is symbolic of a particular sense and/or
concept and with its transference the figure of the Inner Wall,
the “what,” becomes more complete.
Shown here is the final page of the manuscript which
lists the actual parts of the Anatomy of Transposition. It is
followed by the first four pages which serve both as an
explanation of the Preparatory Study and of the concept of
the entire sculpture. Each page of the original manuscript
measures 17" x 14".
Seemingly a hybrid with either a wild Greater White-fronted Goose, or a domestic Graylag Goose. I would lean towards a wild origin.

Nuneaton seemingly pause for thought at Liberty Way while attacking Broadstreet during a second-versus-first encounter in rugby union's National League Three Midlands. Nuns, who had to rely on a 79th-minute penalty to secure a losing bonus point, went down 17-12 to the Coventry-based visitors. Sheffield's 34-0 win over struggling Syston saw Nuneaton drop to third in the table.

"This seemingly never-closing night market is just minutes away from the downtown area. The market is not only Taipei's largest, it is also one of the oldest. It springs to life in the evening hours with carnival games and a great selection of shops selling clothing, shoes, jewelry, tourist gifts, tools, pets and much more. Every corner offers new surprises! Although the scents may borderline on pungent at times, the food here is tasty, with popular fare including tofu, Chinese sausage, and Portuguese egg tarts."
On a seemingly beautiful day in Northern West Virginia, a big tree fell across Route 857 in Monogalia County, near Cheat Lake.
When I pulled up, there was already a half mile of traffic or so, and we didn't know any easy alternate route so my friend and I left my mom to watch the car, and jumped out to see if there was anything interesting to see.
Apparently the big tree just sort of randomly fell down, and the white car came around the bend a bit fast and wasn't able to stop in time. No one was hurt, but the car had some fairly serious damage (not shown) and the road was blocked for about 30-45 minutes.
Finally, just as the road was being cleared, two state troopers came barreling up the hill. The one, noticing my friend and I taking pictures, asked "what are you boys doing, a school project or something?"
he was also the first person...

There's been seemingly endless construction on St. Nicholas Avenue, just below 125th Street. They keep tearing up the same part of the street, paving it over, and then ripping it up again.
These mailboxes have been victims. So has my commute. Each day we're facing a different direction.
On the way home tonight I thought it looked like they were dancing. Or posing for a photo.
While seemingly unassuming in this photo, the building is actually quite large and very well built, having lasted from the 1880s until now largely as originally constructed. Emperor Menelik II, the builder of both the church and the palace here, was quite a figure in Ethiopian history, not least of which because he and his generals fought off the invading Italian Army at the Battle of Adwa in 1896.
Seemingly unfazed by the photographers and security personnel that surround him, presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon is all smiles at a stop along his campaign trail.

Seemingly only accessible from a dangerously narrow sidewalk along a highway on-ramp, the old entrance of the Prague Main Station takes you into a crumbling, majestic antechamber, now home to a small cafe, closed on this particular day. Old men sat around reading newspapers.
After being born seemingly healthy and normla, Armand was diagnosed at 22 months with GM1 Gangliosidosis, a metabolic disorder with no proven cure or treatment. He is undergoing an investigative treatment using several medications as well as a ketogenic diet through a feeding tube. We've actually seen a lot of bounce-back in his personality and strength over the last couple of months.
We keep a blog for both informational purposes, and for people to just follow his journey at armandshope.wordpress.com. You can also find us on facebook by searching for "Armand's Hope".
