It was sunny day. The sky was so clear. Based on building7, I've tried to take a picture of rule of third.
This photo shows the daisy chain that my friends and I made in a field as you can see in the photo in is situated on the farthest left line on the grid making it a rule of thirds photo.
this picture gives you more of a view of the warehouse with the rule of thirds being used with me crouching on the only dry spot with sunlight shining through the roof
A child's rhyme stuck in my head
It said that life is but a dream
I've spent so many years in question
To find I've known this all along
So good to see you
I've missed you so much
So glad it's over
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play
Why are you running away?
Prying open my third eye
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing the tail of dogma
I opened my eye and there we were
So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me
And you thought that I had run away
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason

The Third Avenue Bridge is a landmark structure of the city of Minneapolis. Originally known as the St. Anthony Falls Bridge, it crosses the Mississippi River going right over the upper fringes of Saint Anthony Falls.
As part of my first task with the Carrick Camera Club, I have taken this picture in an attempt to show my understanding the rule of thirds. In this picture, the the horizon divides the picture at the top third of the picture with the water covering two thirds. In addition the duck is in the lower left third. Hopeully following these guidelines I have taken a reasonably nice photo.
A worker affixed bolts at a joint between segments.
On Saturday, workers replaced third rail near Bryn Mawr on the Red Line Saturday to help ensure continued, reliable power delivery to Red Line trains in the area. The "third rail" (also known as "contact rail") is the electrified rail through which power is delivered to our trains.
One segment at a time, workers removed existing sections of rail and replaced it with heavier-gauge sections, which can provide better conductivity. Each section is seated on insulated third rail chairs, bolted together with adjacent sections and smoothed out at joints. Welders also come out and connect the rail to the power system using jumper cables.
The rail that's been removed will be reused for other important power delivery improvements, later—an efficient and sustainable practice we employ to make the most of the materials at our disposal.
The section replaced on Saturday morning and afternoon was on the Howard-bound Red Line track and measures in at about 1900 feet, or about 580 meters, in length. To put the heft of this work into perspective, the base, steel component of third rail that was installed weighs about 85lbs. for every three feet of rail—this doesn't include the weight of aluminum that's affixed to the rail for added electrical conductivity, bolts, insulators and other components that are a part of delivering power to trains. The total weight of the steel part of the rail moved just on Saturday is upwards of 52 tons.

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third-most-populous city in the United States. With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second-most-populous county in the US, with a small portion of the northwest side of the city extending into DuPage County near O'Hare Airport. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland. At nearly 10 million people, the metropolitan area is the third most populous in the United States.
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, less than 30 years after the great fire, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. Depending on the particular year, the city's O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked as the world's fifth or sixth busiest airport according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and it ranked seventh in the entire world in the 2017 Global Cities Index. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. In addition, the city has one of the world's most diversified and balanced economies, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. Chicago is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Allstate, Boeing, Caterpillar, Exelon, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, and Walgreens.
Chicago's 58 million domestic and international visitors in 2018 made it the second most visited city in the nation, as compared with New York City's 65 million visitors in 2018. The city was ranked first in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities. Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Grant Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, literature, film, theatre, comedy (especially improvisational comedy), food, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic dance music including house music. Of the area's many colleges and universities, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities. Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues, including two Major League Baseball teams.

The Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH), also known as The Field Museum, is a natural history museum in Chicago, Illinois, and is one of the largest such museums in the world. The museum maintains its status as a premier natural-history museum through the size and quality of its educational and scientific programs, as well as due to its extensive scientific-specimen and artifact collections. The diverse, high-quality permanent exhibitions, which attract up to two million visitors annually, range from the earliest fossils to past and current cultures from around the world to interactive programming demonstrating today's urgent conservation needs. The museum is named in honor of its first major benefactor, the department-store magnate Marshall Field. The museum and its collections originated from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition and the artifacts displayed at the fair.
The museum maintains a temporary exhibition program of traveling shows as well as in-house produced topical exhibitions. The professional staff maintains collections of over 24 million specimens and objects that provide the basis for the museum’s scientific-research programs. These collections include the full range of existing biodiversity, gems, meteorites, fossils, and rich anthropological collections and cultural artifacts from around the globe. The museum's library, which contains over 275,000 books, journals, and photo archives focused on biological systematics, evolutionary biology, geology, archaeology, ethnology and material culture, supports the museum’s academic-research faculty and exhibit development. The academic faculty and scientific staff engage in field expeditions, in biodiversity and cultural research on every continent, in local and foreign student training, and in stewardship of the rich specimen and artifact collections. They work in close collaboration with public programming exhibitions and education initiatives.

Third Ring Road, Beijing. I'm going to redo this shot in better weather, but I wanted to add this one for now. It's a gloomy day in Beijing, which means the driving is EVEN WORSE than its usual appalling level. A combination of a badly designed junction and useless drivers results in an unnecessary tailback of several kilometres.

Third Presbyterian towers over its surroundings on Negley and Fifth Ave in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood. It was designed by noted architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler, Jr.
It was back to Arlington for third grade and for the rest of my elementary days. Here is my third grade class, 1962 - 1963. Mrs. Leaptrot was the teacher and Mr. Owen was still the principal. He always went around and was featured in all class pictures.
Honest to goodness, that really was the teacher's name, Mrs. Leaptrot!
We were taught cursive writing in this class.
See can you find me!

A visit to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the Field of Miracles in Pisa.
Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square).
It was an amazing site to see! The whole area was packed with tourists!
The Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply the Tower of Pisa (Torre di Pisa [ˈtorre di ˈpiːza]) is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa, known worldwide for its unintended tilt. The tower is situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and is the third oldest structure in the city's Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), after the cathedral and the Pisa Baptistry.
The tower's tilt began during construction in the 12th century, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed in the 14th century. It gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183.27 feet) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 metres (185.93 feet) on the high side. The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0.06 in). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 metric tons (16,000 short tons). The tower has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but the tower now leans at about 3.99 degrees. This means the top of the tower is displaced horizontally 3.9 metres (12 ft 10 in) from the centre.
There has been controversy about the real identity of the architect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano, a well-known 12th-century resident artist of Pisa, famous for his bronze casting, particularly in the Pisa Duomo. Pisano left Pisa in 1185 for Monreale, Sicily, only to come back and die in his home town. A piece of cast bearing his name was discovered at the foot of the tower in 1820, but this may be related to the bronze door in the façade of the cathedral that was destroyed in 1595. A 2001 study seems to indicate Diotisalvi was the original architect, due to the time of construction and affinity with other Diotisalvi works, notably the bell tower of San Nicola and the Baptistery, both in Pisa.
Construction of the tower occurred in three stages over 199 years. Work on the ground floor of the white marble campanile began on August 14, 1173 during a period of military success and prosperity. This ground floor is a blind arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian capitals.
The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the second floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-metre foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning. Construction was subsequently halted for almost a century, because the Republic of Pisa was almost continually engaged in battles with Genoa, Lucca, and Florence. This allowed time for the underlying soil to settle. Otherwise, the tower would almost certainly have toppled. In 1198, clocks were temporarily installed on the third floor of the unfinished construction.
In 1272, construction resumed under Giovanni di Simone, architect of the Camposanto. In an effort to compensate for the tilt, the engineers built upper floors with one side taller than the other. Because of this, the tower is curved. Construction was halted again in 1284 when the Pisans were defeated by the Genoans in the Battle of Meloria.
The seventh floor was completed in 1319. The bell-chamber was finally added in 1372. It was built by Tommaso di Andrea Pisano, who succeeded in harmonizing the Gothic elements of the bell-chamber with the Romanesque style of the tower. There are seven bells, one for each note of the musical major scale. The largest one was installed in 1655.
After a phase (1990–2001) of structural strengthening, the tower is currently undergoing gradual surface restoration, in order to repair visible damage, mostly corrosion and blackening. These are particularly pronounced due to the tower's age and its exposure to wind and rain.
My thanks to Cllr Peray Ahmet for telling me about a Haringey Council Press Release. It publicised the prosecution of a resident for fly-tipping from a van. The man was "spotted by a council manager" while wearing a Council "hi-visibility vest".
The Press Release doesn't tell us very much more. Was this part of a planned operation to catch commercial fly-tippers? Or was it a lucky chance? Was the rubbish his own? Was the man a trader saving money by dumping commercial waste? Or had he been paid by residents? By builders? By landlords?
In my view, the Press Release is not much more than a good-news-story designed to show Haringey Council in a positive light. Man-in-van-caught-and summoned-to-court. Except that he didn't show-up in court and was found guilty in his absence.
As upbeat news, it provided an opportunity for Haringey's "Comms" Team to pretend - despite the evidence of residents' own eyes - that our council is winning the battle by "getting tough" with people who dump rubbish on our streets.
Along these lines, the Press Release included a quotation from Cllr Peray Ahmet, the elected "cabinet" councillor. Her responsibilities include waste management.
In a separate tweet to me, Cllr Ahmet explained that they "are trying to ramp up enforcement".
Cllr Peray Ahmet's quotation in the Press Release
"We vowed to get tough on fly-tipping and this crown court conviction shows we mean business. From the minute our council employee spotted the fly-tipper, it was a hands-on investigation for our staff, who worked tirelessly with the police on this case."
“Fly-tipping costs Haringey taxpayers more than £3 million a year and ruins the streets for our residents. We are determined to tackle this expensive, antisocial, problem and will not hesitate to prosecute those who do it.”
My Comment
I'm not denying the significant harm - environmental, social and financial - caused by people who take money to dispose of waste, only to dump it irresponsibly. But I'm not convinced that a handful of successful prosecutions - or even a far higher number of on-the-spot fines - will turn the tide on our wider problem.
Walk the streets of Tottenham to see the unofficial, tacit and tolerated Third System.

We were the Death Eater Quidditch squad - I was Peter, number 0 (of course). To explain my weird expressions and posture during our (awesome) entrance, I found myself roleplaying Peter - freaked out, eyes darting side to side, pulling his cloak tight around him to hide the red lining inside, etc. We met up Friday night o make our shirts, and ended up becoming fast friends.
Our opponents were the Invaders, who had their own awesome shirts made before they even arrived and who were tough opponents - but not tough enough to beat us. ;) They were all super cool, and it was a privilege to play against them.
