The other side of this spin seconds later. He was smiling out of enjoyment...not because of the photo. Another 1/30th of a second frozen in time.

Shot with iPhone 4.
Went to a Toronto Raptors game at the ACC. I couldn't take my DSLR to the game. There is no
flash photography allowed and you can't bring lenses longer than 75mm at focal length apparently.
So this shot was taken with my iPhone 4. The Raptors won against the Houston Rockets, 116-98.
Good game overall. Thanks for looking!
I saw 6 of these uncommon flycatchers in migration in the Assiniboine Forest on this day. Two separated from the rest were hunting in a group of trees with none as high as those in which one usually finds this species.
I can almost hear the sputtering, dead thump of an unresponsive ignition, final surrender to the elements. It's been at least 23 years since this truck last went anywhere, now it's just part of the yard. Unintentional art, permanent marking to an driver's life lost. Gravestones made of steel, I see them all over, rusting while we're rotting elsewhere. They won't survive for historical value, crumbling in the limbo between too old and not old enough. By the time someone feels inclined to get her roadworthy again, all is lost. I can hear an aching echo, stories from the shotgun side, something spoken softly from a soul behind the wheel. Ordinary beauty if you want to call it, talking for the sake of filling space. Humanity warm as the chill I feel tonight, heated words and cool silence to keep us coming back. I'm going home, you're going nowhere at all.

Ancient Side.....The ruins of ancient Side are among of the most spectacular that remain in the modern world and showcase hundreds of years of Greek life in the Roman Empire. Its coastal location made Side a desirable trading port and, despite the prominence of piracy, Greek settlers flocked to the city around the sixth century BC. Unusually, this resulted in the preservation, rather than destruction, of the native culture and Side became a cultural melting pot - indeed, many original inscriptions found at the site today are written in the indecipherable native language. Hellenic influence in Side grew, however, and it was under Roman rule that the city really flourished - even gaining repute as the best slave market of the period. Many of the Roman ruins still remain, and the city has become a popular destination for eager explorers interested in discovering the rich history of the ancient Mediterranean. Today, this ancient metropolis showcases the skill with which the Romans were able to seamlessly combine elements of Greek culture, which they so admired, with their own recognisable Roman stamp of identity. Certainly, when Titus Flamininus declared the ‘freedom of the Greeks’ in 196BC he would not have imagined that the two cultures would have merged so comprehensibly centuries later. Reflecting this combined cultural legacy, and ranking among the most prominent sites at Side is the 2nd century AD ancient theatre. A unique example of fusion design, it was born out of this combination of Hellenic plans and Roman construction. Moreover, the theatre’s decoration dates to the period of the Antonine Emperors and the exterior columns tell the story of Dionysus (or Bacchus in Roman), the Greek God of wine and patron of the theatre. Among Side’s other fascinating remains are the temples to Apollo and Athena, which are picturesquely perched at the very tip of Side’s harbour. The sight of these ancient columns set against the picture-perfect Mediterranean sea makes for an ideal sightseeing spot. If that isn’t enough, the archaeological site at Side also features the remnants of the colonnaded main street, Roman baths, a nymphaeum and a Hellenic gate that decorates the exterior walls. The nearby museum is an ancient site in itself, being housed within a baths complex dating back to the second century AD, and contains many of the finds discovered during excavations of the ruins in the mid-twentieth century.
One of the cool things about shooting so many beautiful interiors for designers and architects is the fact that I get access to some pretty “out there” locations and usually manage to sneak in a couple of shots for myself of the views. This happened recently with an amazing apartment I have been photographing in Dubai Marina which had an incredible view. In fact, I’ve shown you here the view from one side of the building, but what I am posting today is the view towards the opposite side.
For those of you that are not familiar with Dubai’s landscape, what you see extending into the sea is the Palm Jumeirah development, a man-made development in the shape of a palm tree. As you can imagine, this is best appreciated when you’re high above the sea and although I very rarely use my 14-24mm f2.8 lens nowadays, I did have to use it for this shot as there was just too much to fit in the frame.

From signage in the church:
Between 1764 and 1781 the church was fitted with an ensemble of late Baroque fixtures: the pulpit, confessionals, pews and eleven altars. The ensemble displayed stylistic harmony, as well as a singleness of purpose-drawing attention to the main altar.
[The main altar] now contains the Crucifix that had previously hung above the altar of the Holy Cross. The cross was known to bestow special grace, and it was at this time that the fresco depicting this Crucifix was painted on the façade of the church. The identity of the person who designed the new interior furnishings is not now known. The interior was executed by several joiners (Giotto, Holtzas, Valteris and others are mentioned). Paintings for the altars were done by . . . a person with the surname Motiejus.
Between 1764 and 1768 Mikaloju Jansonas, a renowned organ builder of the day, restored the church organ and moved it from the side nave to a platform constructed at the back of the presbytery (choir). (At the end of the 19th century the organ was reconstructed once again and moved to the old balcony of the Bernardines.)
From the middle of the 18th century until the end of the 20th century the architecture and furnishings of the church remained largely unchanged. When the church was closed during the Soviet years, the painting over the altar, the liturgical vessels and other fixtures were scattered among museum collections or given to other churches.
The altar ensemble, which was disassembled for reconstruction has only been partially restored. In response to present-day liturgical requirements, a new altar created by Rimas Skakalauakas was constructed in 1998 and placed in the central nave of the church. The altar echoes the lines and shapes of the old Gothic belfry.

From Wikipedia:
The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard (also known as Bernardine Church) is a Roman Catholic church in the Old Town of Vilnius, Lithuania. It is located next to St. Anne's Church. Dedicated to Saints Francis of Assisi and Bernardino of Siena, it is an important example of Gothic architecture in Lithuania.
History
After their arrival in Vilnius, Bernardine monks built a wooden church in the second half of the 15th century, and at the end of the same century - a brick one.
In the early 16th century it was reconstructed, apparently with the participation of a master from Gdansk (Danzig) Michael Enkinger.
In the beginning of the 16th century the church was incorporated into the construction of Vilnius defensive wall, so there are shooting openings in its walls.
Afterwards it was renewed many times, particularly after the 1655-61 war with Moscow, when the Cossacks ravaged the church killing the monks and citizens who had taken shelter there.
In the times of the Soviet occupation it was closed down and handed over to the Art institute.
In 1994, the brethren of St. Francis returned to the church.
Church and Monastery are some of the largest sacral buildings in Vilnius, although in the 17th and 18th centuries they acquired the Renaissance and Baroque features.
Being much larger and more archaic than the St. Anne's Church, it forms and interesting and unique ensemble with the latter.
Gothic pointed-arch windows and buttresses stand out on the façade. Above them rises a pediment with twin octagonal towers on the sides and a fresco depicting the Crucifix in the middle niche.
A Gothic presbytery is the oldest part of the church. Eight high pillars divide the church interior into 3 naves.
There are many valuable 16th-century wall paintings in Bernardine church and the oldest known artistic Lithuanian crucifix sculpture from the 15th century. [2]
The walls of the naves are decorated with Gothic polychrome frescoes, partly uncovered in 1981 - dynamic, colourful figural compositions on biblical and hagiographic themes, with occasional inscriptions in Gothic characters, floral ornaments, heraldic insignia etc.
These mural paintings date from the early 16th century and are considered unique in the world: their composition and type of presentation of the subject matter belongs to Renaissance, and the stylistics - to the Gothic style. [3]
The Bernardine monastery north of the church, built simultaneously with the church, was renovated and reconstructed several times. Since its founding, a novitiate and a seminary operated at the monastery, a rich library had been accumulated, and a scriptorium operated. There [were] artists, craftsmen and organists among the monks. The monastery was closed in 1864, and the building housed soldiers' barracks. In 1919 it was given to the art faculty of the university, later - to the Art Institute (now the Art Academy).
