I shot this straight up, looking at the new leaves on the red Japanese maple. The contrast with the blue spring sky was something I had to capture with the sunlight streaming through the leaves and illuminating them like lantern paper.
I somehow missed StraightUp Productions' show in the programme but their street advertising worked. We went to see it. There was a good show in there, but it needed tightening up. It could easily have lost 15 minutes.
when you're in Nebraska, its crucial that you find a way to get inside a grain silo/elevator complex - looking up into these chutes that have been the backbone of the local economies (and our dinner plates) for so many years is incredible.
I'm really disappointed with this roll, but I had to post something from it..
Ate at the diner last night... this is the diner's rounded aluminum corner with neon lights. I had a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs, which I gotta say, was pretty darn good for being a Greek diner. ;)
Interior view of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. It is also variously called the Church on Spilt Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, its official name. The name refers to the blood of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, who was assassinated on that site in 1881. The Church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal.
Construction began in 1883 under Alexander III, as a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Work progressed slowly and was finally completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. The Church contains over 7500 square metres of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. Nothing is painted here all are mosaics!
Blick ins Innere der Kirche. Die Kirche ist innen über und über mit Mosaiken bestückt - nichts ist hier gemalt! Die Kirche wurde in den letzten Jahren restauriert und so erstrahlen die wunderbaren Mosaike in den schönsten Farben.
Die Auferstehungskirche, auch als Blutkirche, Erlöserkirche und Bluterlöser-Kirche bekannt, ist eine Kathedrale in Sankt Petersburg. Die Kirche ist nach dem Vorbild der Moskauer Basilius-Kathedrale im so genannten „Neuen Stil“ (entspricht dem Jugendstil) gestaltet und als einziges Gebäude der Petersburger Innenstadt, das sich nicht an den italienischen und klassizistischen westlichen Baustilen orientiert, entsprechend auffällig. Erbaut wurde sie von 1883 bis 1912 an der Stelle, an der Alexander II. einem Attentat zum Opfer fiel.
Die Kirche steht in der Nähe des Newski-Prospektes am Gribojedow-Kanal. Die an altrussischen Vorbildern angelehnte Gestaltung des Gebäudes bedeckt eine Fläche von etwa 7000 Quadratmetern; die innere flächendeckende Ausgestaltung mit russischen Mosaiken im Ikonenstil und äußere Verzierung besteht vor allem aus Mosaiken. Die Kathedrale dient heute als Museum.
I love looking up at the sky.
Whether something's above me (like bright yellow or red or green leaves) or not. Whether there are clouds or it's a clear blue like it was the past couple days. And whether it's light and the sun is shining brightly, or dark and you can see soooo many stars...
This straightup soldier is standinUP to support the troops stacked when the war began and still standin after all these years. This sculpture (2.5 feet tall) symbolizes strength in balancin life.

Straight up shot of the ornamented ceiling in the fountain room next to the tomb of Moulay Ismaïl, in the imperial city of Meknes, Morocco. the ceiling is in a pyramidal shape, called a koubba.
You can see all the spots where they sawed off the branches and dead limbs.
This one is over the parking area; I took this standing right next to my Suburban, looking straight up.
I should've taken a "before" photo... it was sooo scraggly and scary-looking. Every time one of our (brief but violent) summer storms comes through, I watch out our window to see if one of the branches is going to come crashing down on either our vehicles or our yard.
So glad the owners had the trees trimmed. Plus, much less of a fire hazard... especially given this area's propensity for lightning. Last year, one of the trees across the street caught on fire from lightning, only a few days after an apartment building on the same side caught fire and burnt up a good deal of the structure - also from lightning.

In Longyearbyen, an old coal mining town at 78°N, coal used to be transported by cable car from the various mines to the shipping point. The cars were called "kibb", and the towers supporting the cables were called "kibbstolper" (kibb poles). Today, the cable cars are no longer in use, the coal is transported by large lorries, and the towers are considered cultural heritage and protected. Here is one from the middle of Longyearbyen, in a perhaps unusual perspective.
A different angle on this tower can be found here.

"Stand up for what is right even if you're solo!" This is a common theme/style of mine. We can go any direction in life. I choose to stay with believing to shoot for the stars with faith in my soul you know. Straightup out of the cam.

The edge of a small brick tower found along the walkway to the Congress Street Bridge in Austin Texas. I can't seem to remember the exact name of it however.
The Landshut Residence is a palace in Landshut, Lower Bavaria.
In 1536 Louis X, Duke of Bavaria laid the foundation stone for a new residence in the inner city of Landshut. It was begun in German Renaissance style under the architect Bernhard Zwitzel from Augsburg, this palace is today called German building.
During a journey to Italy the duke got the inspiration for an additional palace. Behind the German building close to the river Isar the so-called Italian building was constructed in Italian Renaissance style with a spacious courtyard and the palace chapel. It was modelled 1537-1543 in particular after the Palazzo del Te in Mantua and was the first Italian style palace which was erected north of the Alps.
Deckenkonstruktion im Stil der italienischen Hochrenaissance in der Stadtresidenz Landshut
Die Stadtresidenz Landshut genießt als einziger Palast im Stil der italienischen Hochrenaissance nördlich der Alpen herausragenden kunst- und architekturgeschichtlichen Rang. Herzog Ludwig X. von Bayern, der als Statthalter seines in München regierenden Bruders in Landshut residierte, ließ 1536 den Neubau seiner Residenz beginnen.
Unter Leitung des Augsburger Baumeisters Bernhard Zitzel entstand zunächst der "Deutsche Bau" zur Altstadt noch im Stil der heimischen Renaissance. Beeindruckt von den oberitalienischen Palastbauten, insbesondere dem Palazzo Te in Mantua, ließ der Herzog nach einer Italienreise das Baukonzept ändern. Unter der Ägide italienischer Meister wurde bis 1543 der "Italienische Bau" errichtet.

Tegernsee Abbey or the Imperial Abbey of Tegernsee is a former Benedictine monastery in the town and district of Tegernsee in Bavaria.
Die ehem. Klosterkirche, Pfarrkirche St. Quirinus, ist ein Barockbau mit romanischen und gotischen Elementen.
Nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg gab der tatkräftige Abt Bernhard Wenzl (reg. 1673-1700), dem Kloster eine neue Gestalt. Von den mittelalterlichen Bauten blieb allein die Klosterkirche stehen; doch sie erhielt ein modernes, barockes Gewand übergezogen: Italienische Künstler schufen die üppige weiße Stukkatur. Hans Georg Asam, der Vater der berühmten Künstlerbrüder, malte in sechs Sommern einen der ersten und größten barocken Freskenzyklen Bayerns (mit Darstellungen aus dem Leben Jesu und des heiligen Quirinus).
"Nichts bleibt ohne Verzierung in dieser Klosterkirche, überall trugen Stuckateure aus Italien, sowie Bildhauer und Maler aus Süddeutschland dazu bei, den Betrachter nicht nur zu beeindrucken. Die üppige Bewegtheit der Formen soll zu innerer Bewegung anregen. „Delectare et movere“, Erfreuen und Bewegen war es, was ein gelungenes Kunstwerk leisten sollte. Der optische und damit sinnliche Zugang zur christlichen Lehre war Sinn und Inhalt der Werke von Hans Georg Asam, der Figuren von Johann Baptist Straub und der Architektur von Antonio Riva." www.schliersee.de/434.html
straight up to the ceiling of Dar Saada, a 'palace' restaurant where we had lunch once. decent fare, shockingly kitch paintings on the wall i failed to photograph.
Kat had many dares throughout the night of her bachelorette party. My dare of course was to get her to ask a band to let her perform. We found an irish pub by the end of the night. Straight up by Paula Abdul is always a crowd pleaser.
Prompted by the wave of cute clothing/shopping on Flickr as well as a fantastic 30% off coupon for Old Navy/Gap/Banana Republic, I decided to take a little shopping expedition myself. I was considering a coat purchase at Old Navy but ended up with mostly tanks and a fleece workout jacket. I did find this super cute boyfriend blazer at the Gap though so all was not lost! (Although Mr.P just asked me why I was wearing a business suit in the picture because it looked so formal. Le sigh.)
On a side note, I'm rather proud that the focus turned out halfway ok on this considering I was guesstimating with my 28mm which doesn't AF with my camera.

Yes, it really is a cocktail where the famous bitters are the principal ingredient. The menu says "schloads" of Angostura (which amounts to a full 1.5 oz. shot), but there's also lime, simple syrup, and an egg white, all shaken like crazy before being strained and topped with a few more drops of bitters.
It's incredible, and the lime juice particularly does something to highlight the spices in the Angostura. Highly recommended if you make it over to Heritage.
