This was my mom's favorite getaway. Of course, I hated it as a child (why would she not want to be around us wanting, needing children 24 /7? ). I remember her telling me that she would do "silent retreats". (Imagine not hearing "Mom, I need this, Mom I can't find that" for a whole weekend... however she did stand it? :D)
I visited it on the way back from my girls' road trip in August and saw it's allure for her... so peaceful and beautiful... a place to be contemplative and quiet, something, that with eight of us, she never had enough of in her life.
Have a blessed Sunday all! Go to church, hum a hymn, say a prayer, rejoice that the people you love are still there (especially after that awful, off-key humming of yours ;D ) !
+++++++++++++
Anyways, off to shoot on a cloudy, cool day! Catch you all later. Thanks for all your visits, comments and lovely criticisms in carefully worded flickrmails or better yet, on the web for all to see!
(Seriously, I mean that!! You make me a better photographer!)

I've always been the silent one... kind of.
Finally feeling inspired today, so I came up with this shot (kinda similar to what I've done before, but being creepy is my thing) :)

Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s. After World War II, an improved form became popular in the United States and Britain, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion. In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introduced in the US and most other developed countries. The availability of storage media such as VHS tape (1976), DVDs (1997), and high-definition Blu-ray Discs (2006) enabled viewers to watch recorded material such as movies. At the end of the first decade of the 2000s, digital television transmissions greatly increased in popularity. Another development was the move from standard-definition television (SDTV)(576i, with 576 interlaced lines of resolution and 480i) to high-definition television (HDTV), which provides a resolution that is substantially higher. HDTV may be transmitted in various formats: 1080p, 1080i and 720p. Since 2010, with the invention of smart television, Internet television has increased the availability of television programs and movies via the Internet through services such as Netflix, iPlayer, Hulu, Roku and Chromecast. -wikipedia
Niles, California was the home of one of the first West Coast motion picture companies, Essanay Studios. Charlie Chaplin and Broncho Billy Anderson filmed some of their most famous silent movies in Niles. -wikipedia
I got my order in from Silent Paradise! They are urethane eyes, and they offer basically anything you could want in regards to custom sizing. These are 16mm with smaller iris and pupils. 16mm with 7mm iris and small pupils (the black part in the middle.)
They are BEAUTIFUL eyes. They look a lot like a wild cat's eyes, they make me think of lion eyes.
They're pretty expensive, though right now until Silent Paradise gets a website running, they are 20 percent off. I think they are normally $85? I got mine for $65 I believe. Took about two months, and were packaged VERY well. A padded envelope, then a box, then a smaller box inside the box!
My only issue with them is that Mao's eyes are uneven inside, so they sit too far back. I didn't know how wide and flat the whites of Silent Paradise eyes were, so I think I probably just could have gotten 14mm eyes and they would have fit fine with no gapping. I am considering maybe getting a beveler and trying to make the fit better.
Life was great, for a while.
Far from perfect, but never miserable.
Never like this.
Back when I was pure, innocent,
back when I had a roof over my head,
clothes of my back,
money in my pocket.
Back before everyday was a struggle,
before getting by was a day-to-day issue.
Back before I gave in,
tossing it all aside,
throwing it all away.
You see, everything was fine.
Until
my
silent
surrender.

When I first heard their hit song, "Touch In The Night", it just blew my mind away! And their album cover art for "No.1" just looks stunning!
Inspired by the Movie "Silent Running" ~~Best viewed large~~
Earth between my toes and a flower in my hair
that's what I was wearing when we lay, among the ferns.
Earth between my toes and a flower I will wear when he returns.
Wind upon his face and my fingers in his hair
that's what he was wearing when we lay, beneath the sky.
Wind upon his face and my love he will wear when swallows fly.
Tears of sorrow running deep
running silent in my sleep
running silent in my sleep.
Joan Baez "'Rejoice in the Sun'" (Silent Running)
Fields of children running wild in the sun
Like a forest is your child growing wild in the sun
Doomed in his innocence in the sun
Gather your children to your side in the sun
Tell them only love will die,
Tell them why in the sun
Tell them it's not too late
Congregate one by one
Tell them to harvest and rejoice in the sun
The silent hunter of the forest waits patiently as he scans the forest floor for movement in the warm spring rain.
The Silent Movie Theater in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles had been founded by a couple of dreamers after the Second World War. After they had become old and decrepit, Lawrence Austin appeared to help them. He was a felon, having served a term in California prison for embezzlement. He induced the old couple to sign over the property to him; they were dispatched to a nursing home.
The crook seemed, at last, to have found his vocation: he refurbished the old theater, and employed musician/composer Robert Israel and other musicians to provide live musical accompaniment for the many rare and remarkable films which the theater promoted and screened with fanfare and style.
Unfortunately, Lawrence Austin was shot to death during a screening. He had kept a catamite, and had foolishly made the boy his heir. The catamite -- eager to get his inheritance -- had hired an assassin.
Eventually the gunman was caught. He confessed the plot. Both gunman and catamite were convicted of murder, and are now in prison.
Unfortunately, the Silent Movie Theater's only valuable asset was its collection of rare prints of silent movies. It was sold. The movie house remains, but its program of regular screenings of rare and classic films from the silent era has been discarded.
Wheee tried a new style thing here. I liked how it came out. ^ ^ I've been trying to figure out where this outfit belongs and I don't know it seemed neat and kinda basic so I went with a Silent Hill theme. I had my friend, Croon, help me out and be an awesome boss monster. :D

When the snow had gone I came across this silent witness of our cats' natural behaviour. Judging from the size and shape of the beak it may have been a blackbird, although our cats don't often catch larger birds.
Rare collector's item. Says I.
Gorgeous picture of Maria. They don't make prerendered characters like they used to!
Threw this together last night after realizing the Mafia Man's torso was perfect. So creepy even in minifig form!
My neighbours' front garden in Teddington, just before midnight.
Stille nacht, heilige nacht,
Alles schläft; einsam wacht,
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar,
Holder knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh,
Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh.
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant, so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent Dawn
by Marie Paradise
I'm grateful for the silent time
To think and make a plan
When the morning world is mine
I do because I can.
I love the quietude of dawn
Before the sun's completely up
I rub my eyes and give a yawn
And fill once more my coffee cup.
The morning songs of birds awakening
In the misty dawn
Sets my very soul aquaking
Like windblown grass of lawn.
The springtime morns especially treat me
With the springtime birds of song
The robins come to early greet me
The blue jays also come along.
Thank God for mornings, whatever season
They're a beauty to behold
I'll not be broke for any reason
Because the mornings are my gold.

I have been documenting the changing face of this neighborhood since 2005 to the present day. I never imagined that going to a photo meetup here would provide me with enough content and inspiration to continue to photograph the dynamic changes taking place as the neighborhood transformed from a dead retail strip on Dundas with derelict and shuttered industry to the hot hipster neighborhood it’s become. The Junction was not always known as such, it was rather West Toronto neighborhood, which for a large part was more often referred to the Stockyards. Meat processing is the only original industry that is still present today, to the dismay of residents. Industry was centralized here as the area had lower land prices and taxes and the creation of an official port of entry. Also Canadian Pacific developed a large rail yard which extends from Keele to Scarlet road. This led to massive industrial and commercial development which stayed for the most part until closures started with these companies in 2005.
Canada packers, CCM, Campbell Milling and Heinzman piano company were the most notable companies, which all have been converted respectfully to a large mall, another mall complex and a high rise condo. Other buildings such as the Symes waste transfer station and Sherwin Williams and Houghton plant were recently converted into a brewery, a failed condo development now waiting to be sold, and a studio complex with a gym and printing facilities. The first spot I photographed was the old Sherwin Williams plant in late 2005 on a cold Christmas weekend and it peaked my curiosity about industry in the city. Another notable location I visited multiple times was the old GE plant, which as of today (2018) is completely redeveloped. The old Bunge complex, which was located on St.Clair west of Keele was my personal favorite spot to visit while it was intact. I must have been 8 times and got to know the entire complex quite well. It was knocked over very quickly and the large stockyards mall took it’s place.
The story of my junction documentary project is quite extensive and the best way to discover more is to look at the captions on the images. I enjoyed exploring an area with so much industrial diversity so close to home and find myself wishing I still had something like this in my backyard.
Photos featured are from late 2005 to present, both film (in various formats, 35mm, 120,) and digital. Images are noted by their previous name, what they have been converted to, as well as approximate location.
More from the british artist Laura Ford. Again one have to admire her skill with textures. It's clear that the little girls shoes are made of some kind of fabric.
The setting is a bit apart, it would have fitted better on a rainy back alley.
The Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, the Brooklyn Arts Council, the Red Hook Initiative and artists Valeria Bianco, Shagun Singh and Michelle Brick present Silent Lights, a light installation that is activated by the surrounding sounds of traffic. The five gateway structures are installed on a sidewalk at Navy Street and Park Avenue in Brooklyn. The structural elements line the pedestrian pathway and LED lights have been mounted to these structures. As cars make noise, the installation visualizes the noise by illuminating the metal panels in different colors allowing passersby to see the noise in various patterns rather than just hearing the noise. The artists aim to bring awareness to noise pollution within the surrounding community.

Symes was another of the first buildings I got into in late 2005.
I'm probably going to revisit this folder soon and upload more images, it's been a while!

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Another photo for The Firewater Lounge, the Silent Siren is yummy. Jason wasn't happy with the orange slice, so he like this photo where it was shadowed more then the photos with light bounced onto it.
Recipe is here.
Eloquentia, one of two seated female figures flanking Gladstone's pillar on the Gladstone Memorial.
A very eloquent figure, who has often reached out to me as I pass. The streaks of corrosion suggest a glaucous sea change, something arisen from the immortal gloom of the deep sea, a hand reaching through green gulfs of frozen time to plead for a reflective pause.

Later (2012/08/06) note: Four years later I took this photograph again to how much of an improvement, if any, my newer camera technology and four years older skills had made. A lot more than I expected!
