Coffee, (which makes the politician wise,
And see thro' all things with his half-shut eyes).
-Alexander Pope
Ok, I don't know if coffee really makes you smarter, but it does make you live longer:

(Weekly Theme: Western) Outlaw and artist, James White, paints the heavens above the clear American Midwestern night sky on the backs of of his own wanted posters. The stars in his images glint like the flicker of the campfire on the barrel of his deadly revolver. The next morning, a nearby town awakes to find the bank vault empty, and the windows of the sheriff’s office papered in James White’s gorgeous art. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com
Dragon Falls is a ride at the theme park Chessington World of Adventures in Chessington, London, England. It is located in the Mystic East area of the park. It is a water ride and features two drops, one that leads into the mouth of a dragon and another, taller one between two large 'stone' faces designed to resemble Angkor Wat. The ride's station is modelled after a pagoda and is decorated extensively inside. Although regarded as a 'log flume', the boats are not themed as logs (as in Loggers Leap at nearby Thorpe Park), but rather as nondescript wooden boats with inline seating. The ride starts off by traveling out of the loading station and down a peaceful stream, passing bridges and points where the water is rough. Then you travel up a lift hill and down the first drop, which is small, yet has quite a splashdown and into a dragon's mouth. The inside is un-themed, and after traveling along it, you come out into the open, round a lake and then climb up to the top of the lift hill, where you can see over the park. You then splashdown but before you get in to the station an elephant squirts you with water, getting you very wet. Then you travel back into the loading station.
The ride is themed extensively through the land, and features a giant fibreglass Buddha, based on the Great Buddha of Kōtoku-in (according to a plaque placed alongside it in the park), amongst other objects. The ride opened in 1987 and has a height requirement of 1.2m to ride (anyone less than 1.3 metres in height must be accompanied by a person aged 16 or over). This was updated early in the 2011 season from the previous 0.9m restriction with Chessington citing this was as part of a regular review process.
this is for the group happy macro monday, and this weeks theme was framed.
found this cardinal when we went on our nature walk
Thorpe Park is a theme park in Chertsey, Surrey, England. Thorpe Park has frequent buses from Staines. It was built in 1979 on the site of a gravel pit which was partially flooded, creating a water-based theme for the park. The park's first large roller coaster, Colossus, was added in 2002. In 2007, Tussauds was bought out by Merlin Entertainments.
Another bike, another tourist in the thick of things. This set looks like thirties(?) Spain. More to come.
The Kobra is a Zamperla flat ride based in Chessington World Of Adventures, a theme park in London. As with all rides of its type, riders sit in a motorcycle-like position in outward-facing seats at the edge of the circular ride platform. The ride model features an airtime hill (AKA camel back hump) in the middle of the track, and two steep slopes at either end. The platform spins and travels backwards and forwards along the track at moderate speed.
The Kobra features two large snake statues at either end of the track; giving the ride its name. Riders sit at the edge of a circular ride car, which spins along 90m of track at 43mph. The ride model includes a camel back hill in the centre of the track to give the car airtime as it travels over. The Kobra is only the second model of its type in Britain, after The Edge at Paulton's Park. The Kobra opened in the 2010 season in the new 'Wild Asia' land at Chessington.
