This week’s picture was taken by ESO Photo Ambassador Babak Tafreshi at ESO’s La Silla Observatory. The bright lane of the Milky Way can be seen streaking across the skies above the Chilean Atacama Desert, beneath which sits the New Technology Telescope (NTT), one of the ten active telescopes located at the observatory.

This is a Challenge in a newly formed Group, It is the Down Under Challenge 2022. We are small but growing and you are welcome to join us if you are into Photo Manipulation. The main idea here is to have fun with Challenges and one Challenge will be posted once per week on Friday (in Australia). Take a look HERE
Only Challenge entries can be posted to this Group.
This week's Challenge was Art Deco.
The U.S. had 3 World'sFairs in the 1930's. In 1933 was the 100 Anniversary of the city of Chicago. Then San Francisco and New York both had one in 1939. RCA introduced TV to the World but the development of TV. was shut down by WWII. There was no official logo for Art Deco, the AD on my image was just one of many. The only rule for a Logo was that it be Gold on Blue.
#23 for 112 Pictures in 2012 - Technology. I thought about putting this in for 'gift' as the iPad was a christmas present from my hubby, but 'technology' won. The old Underwood typewriter behind is a reminder of where I started as a departmental secretary in the diplomatic service, using one of these old 'sit up and beg' typewriters and carbon paper in triplicate. What amazing advances there have been in technology over the last 40 years!

We are so blinded by technology these days… We are always caught up in checking and/or posting updates on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr feeds that we forget to take a step back and enjoy the other great things in life---family, friends, the outside world.
Lately I've been wanting to get away from all technological mediums, but it's hard to when your education and jobs require you to be around it. So... I challenge myself and you to take some time today to put your Apple products down, step outside, and go for a walk, run, or just simply breathe in the fabulous fall air.
I also made this picture into an aminated GIF and you can view it on my Tumblr or website.

Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland. Two mobile phones, two laptop bags and an 'old school' telephone box, sometimes we can invest in technology a little too much.
Anesthesia Technology students performing hands-on simulation in the surgical lab. Invasive intrajugular vein insertion and learning how to draw arterial blood gases from a pressure transducer.
This is slightly older technology, but it is still used, and does the job well. This is part of the sound board at my church. I am not real smart when it comes to that type of technology, so I have no idea what each of the buttons and dials do, I just know they look interesting!
This image uses repetition, lines and shapes, balance, and rule of thirds.
I used the automatic setting on my Fujifilm Finepix camera. This photo used indoor lighting and was taken at 5:03 pm.
In Photoshop, I adjusted the brightness and saturation.
Modern technology can be great but sometimes the cables that come with it are a bit of a pain!
Taken for a challenge on the theme "Technology"
The Lakeside Technology Center at 350 W. Cermak Rd. was built as the R.R Donnelley Printing Plant (sometimes known as the Calumet Plant or the Lakeside Plant) was built between 1912 and 1929 to house the operations of R.R. Donnelley printing company. The building was designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw to be a fireproof design of poured reinforced concrete columns and an open-shell concrete floor. In 1993, the plant was closed after the discontinuation by Sears, Roebuck and Co. of its mail-order catalog, which had been the last major account printed there. The building was retrofitted in 1999 and is owned by Digital Realty Trust
The 1.1 million square foot multi-tenant data center hub is one of the world’s largest carrier hotels and the nerve center for Chicago’s commodity markets, housing data centers for financial firms. The industrial strength infrastructure includes four fiber vaults and three electric power feeds, which provide the building with more than 100 megawatts of power. The Center is currently the second-largest power customer for Commonwealth Edison, trailing only O’Hare International Airport.
The 60-story Comcast Technology Center is the new tallest building in Philadelphia. It is scheduled to open in 2018.
This striking picture of the New Technology Telescope (NTT) was taken just after sunset at ESO's La Silla Observatory, located in the Norte Chico in outskirts of the Chilean Atacama Desert. The Moon has already begun its journey across the evening sky, and is shining brightly overhead. The Sun dips below the horizon to the left of the frame, soaking the clouds in a rich orange colour.
The warm glow of the last rays of sunshine are caught by the reflective surface of the NTT walls. The purpose of this metallic dome is to stop the telescope’s enclosure from heating up during the day. This would affect the telescope’s observations, as rising warm air and turbulence blur images and worsen the astronomical seeing.
It is not just the telescope's enclosure that is designed to reduce heat accumulation during the day; the concrete platforms and parking spaces around the site are all painted white to increase the amount of light reflected from their surface.

things will never be the same again since technology took over our lives. it has practically entered almost every aspect of everything we do. imagine a friend of mine recently bought a tennis racquet that can sense and feed information about a player's style of hitting the ball and playing the game. individually and subjectively, depending on our attitude towards technology, only time will tell whether we are happier with it. obviously one thing is certain, these kids are!
Punching colors and fixing problems with bleeding-edge technology, and saving photos that were previously unusable.
