I was toying with light blanching an dthe effects of shadow. I really love how these shots came out. He's forcing himself not to squint just so that you know you have his full attention. Now whatr' you gonna do...
"This is a temporary `fix' pending a permanent repair" - a sign attached to a taped-up join in a drain-pipe on the side of the church.
At least they're aware of building conservation...
It took a little while for a lull in the wind to allow shooting this - even after affixing it more firmly in place, a gust came straight along and blew it around...
When it rains on the north end of Cascade Mountain many of the little slot canyons leading off of Provo Canyon develop some pretty dramatic "temporary waterfalls" Most of these falls disappear during the summer and freeze during the winter. This plunging falls is about 150 yards south of the main Bridal Veil Falls. All of these falls including Bridal Veil feed the Provo River.
Some or all of these falls may have names but they are unknown to me. If you know please comment and add the name. Thanks.
so after i moved out, my mom sold our huge, rambling victorian in the ghetto and moved (temporarily) into an apartment. i figured she would exercise some good sense, and like most reasonable people with empty nests, move into a condo. but no. what did she do? she bought another huge, rambling, somewhat delapidated home.
anyway, as a child we never had much money. i slept on a box spring on the floor under my sesame street quilt until i was a 13. then i upgraded to a black sleeping bag. a but since she's more financially secure, she likes to spoil my children. she has a whole room in her new place for my girls, replete with a four poster bed. it's outfitted for a princess, lavish with fluffy pillows, a snazzy quilt, and one of those cool princess netting things hanging from the ceiling. i climbed under it today and relaxed while my mom and two year old played on the floor. after a while, i got bored and started playing with my camera. the light was no good. this is the only shot i got.
To Support Displaced Youth from Fallujah
Inauguration of Temporary Premises of Fallujah University (Dorms and Classrooms)
in Abu Ghraib, Baghdad
On 23 June 2016, the temporary premises of Fallujah University, located inside the Veterinary College, Baghdad University in Abu Ghraib, were inaugurated. With the generous contribution from the Government of Japan, the temporary premises of Fallujah University were established by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) providing 25 classrooms and 128 residential units that can accommodate 512 students, in addition to basic site infrastructure and an administration building. The project aimed at supporting displaced youth who bear enormous and long-lasting human, social and economic costs.
His Excellency Mr. Sohaib Al-Rawi, Governor of Anbar, who attended the event, commented that while the Anbar Governorate has been supporting institutions displaced by violence outside and within Anbar, including Fallujah University, the ongoing financial crisis has affected all aspects of people’s lives and limited the government’s capacity to support. The Governor acknowledged the efforts of UN agencies and the ongoing support of UN-Habitat on housing self-repair and shelter projects within Ramadi. He expressed his gratitude to all those who stand with people of Iraq, and specifically of Fallujah, in the midst of the hardship they face.
On UN-Habitat’s side, Dr. Erfan Ali, Head of Iraq Programme, pointed out that lack of access to education among youth is one of the key factors that fuel a cycle of poverty, hopelessness and frustration. He expressed his hope that these new premises of Fallujah University will enable young women and men from Fallujah to continue their education and play an active role as agents of positive and constructive change.
Mr. Hirofumi Miyake, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim, Embassy of Japan in Iraq, stated that Japan also has its own internally displaced persons, resulting from disasters of tsunamis, earthquakes, debris, and the latest nuclear accident, and therefore the people of Japan understand very well the importance of support to displaced persons in Iraq. He further emphasized that Japan will continue to sustain the efforts of UN-Habitat to improve the living conditions of the displaced persons in Iraq.
Dr. Ibraheem Abdulkareem, Deputy President of Fallujah University, stated that the completion of the new premises of Fallujah University has provided a glimpse of hope in the heart of displaced students, and he recognized that the inauguration is concomitant to the liberation of Fallujah.
On his part, Mr. Sattar Nawroz Khan, General Director of Migration at the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, praised the joint cooperation and partnership between multiple actors, including the Governments of Iraq and Japan, Anbar Governorate, Fallujah University, and UN-Habitat, that enabled the positive results of the overall project.
This project was implemented within the framework of larger programme titled “Humanitarian Support to Internally Displaced Persons in Iraq through Provision of Durable Shelter,” funded by the Government of Japan, aiming to improve the living conditions of internally displaced persons in Iraq through the provision of prefabricated durable shelters, and thereby to support and strengthen their self reliance.

This dock leads to an islet [it's what the sign said 0.o] but it was temporarily closed! ): I remember this it was pretty sweet to be standing on an island looking at an island...
I spend much of my time exploring the countryside surrounding my home deep in Northamptonshire.
These highly individual and unique landscapes are my interpretation of the wetlands, forests, valleys and public footpaths of this ‘forgotten’ shire. Northamptonshire is place steeped in history and beauty, which I have accessed in order to create these paintings. The acrylic compositions are sometimes representative of real places but are also distillations of memories and ideas about what a landscape means to me.
I work by developing ideas in a sketchbook and taking photographs before moving onto canvas or specially prepared papier-mâché, impasto surfaces. Although my ideas are planned in a sketchbook – colours, textures, patterns and successive layers occur in a natural, intuitive way. This reflects the idea of a journey or walk through a landscape observing the sights around you. Every following visit adds a new layer to the aesthetic.
Through repeated visits to areas of special interest and then making artworks about them I have become more fascinated and inspired by their beauty. The works focus on how the countryside evolves and is shaped by human action through time.
As with many of my contemporaries my interests and concerns also lie with the state of the environment. The pollution of the environment and the disappearing countryside are elements, which can overwhelmingly seem out of normal peoples control. For this reason the paintings can be seen as memories or fading dreams of lands without roads, noise or other pollution. But I hope that these landscape paintings represent an optimistic reminder of natural beauty in the world that makes us feel free and truly ourselves.
