Daisy, peering around the doorframe. She knew I wanted her in the room with me, I was trying to take a photo of her playing with a toy. My fault, of course - I'd been out for the morning so she wanted food not toys ;-))
Happy Caturday!
A Likay artist puts on his make-up backstage at a temple festival in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. Likay is known for its outlandish colourful costumes. Long the main feature of rural temple festivals across Thailand, the popularity of the theatre form appears to be in decline - but nevertheless attracts a small group of diehard fans.

The thousand footer Edwin H. Gott towers over visitors to the Soo Locks on Engineer's Day. This is an annual event when you can get up close and personal with these giants.
This is the first time Alex has seen straw bales up close. He couldn't wait to get on one of them as you can see.
In the streets of Jalalabad, Afganhistan...
Ace: I'm glad that we got away from that terrorist. If you hadn't thrown that frag grenade at him we would have gotten killed for sure.
Saber-tooth: We aren't in the clear yet. I suppose the best thing we can do if the city is under siege, is to head out to the desert and get to our forward operating base.
Ace: Sounds like a plan.
Suddenly a man wearing a dark tan hat approaches the group. Ace raises his M4 and says...
Ace: Hold up right there! Who are you?
Owen: Easy now! My name is Owen, I am with the Canadian military. After the United States declared war on Scimitar Canada decided to join their ally by sending in some troops to assist the U.S. military.
Dawg and Lance are talking among themselves when Dawg says...
Dawg: Back-up eh?
Lance: Shut up! We don't want to offend him.
Ace lowers his M4 and Shakes Owen's hand. Saber-tooth does as well.
Saber-tooth:Great to meet you Owen. I'm Saber-tooth, this is Ace, and the two behind us are named Lance and Dawg. Now that everyone is on a first name basis, Scimitar has taken over the city and they have the support from their other fighters in Iraq and Syria as well as elements in Russia. With that being said, I think that our best plan of action is to get to the desert and get to a forward operating base. From there we can create a plan of attack. Let's roll!
Canada joins it's Ally, the U.S. in the war against Scimitar.

Ash Street Jail
New Bedford, MA
January 6th, 2016
America's oldest continuously working jail.
"The original New Bedford Jail was opened on Monday, October 5, 1829 with William Reed as the first jail keeper. The County Commissioners appropriated $13,236.30 for its construction. This facility was located on Court Street and is no longer used as a jail. This structure is currently used for Civil Processing. The building had been previously used as the home of the Sheriff and his family.
The County Commissioners soon recognized the need for additional facilities and authorized the construction of the New Bedford House of Correction Building on the east side of the original jail lot between Court and Union Streets.
The old Bristol County Jail on Court Street in Taunton was quickly becoming obsolete which led to the acquisition of new site on land belonging to the estate of William Hodges on the east side of the present Hodges Avenue. The new Hodges Avenue Jail was completed in 1873 at a cost of $160,000. This facility would get local acclaim as the temporary home for an accused axe murderer from Fall River named Lizzie Borden. The Fall River socialite was detained at the Taunton Jail for ten months while awaiting trial for the murder of her father, Andrew Borden in August of 1892.
The Hodges Avenue Jail in Taunton had served the citizens of Bristol County until 1923 when it closed its’ doors for the final time as a place to house prisoners. The building remained vacant for ten years until the David F. Adams Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars rented the building for their meetings. The Veterans group used the building for many years. They finally purchased the building for $2,500 following the Second World War. It was dedicated as a permanent memorial to U.S. Veterans.
The County Commissioners recognized that the old Jail on Court Street in New Bedford had long outlived its usefulness by the mid 1880’s and began plans to replace the old stone jail. This effort led to the construction of the new 287 cell Ash Street Facility in 1888 at a cost of $80,000."

On May 10, 1869 a special ceremony took place in Promontory, Utah, USA where two railroads met that completed a track that went from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific ocean on the west. A span of approximately 3000 miles. This engine is an exact full size and fully functioning duplicate of one of the engines that met on that occasion. Today it was again going to the same location, approximately 200 yards from where this photo was taken as it passed by.
Real comments, appreciated and reciprocated.

A close-up shot of Psycho in his (uhm, her) iconic pose of pointing a make-believe gun to her head. Why? Dunno, Psycho just does that. O.o
Tech stuff: same processing as the other Psycho photo (Topaz Lab's Adjust "Clarity" filter) to add some graininess and hyper-realism to the pic; adjusted the LEDs in her mask to make them glow more (brightness/contrast bumped up and an outer glow).
Tra le opere protagoniste, “Hooked Up” è l’installazione iGuzzini realizzata con Dean Skira che esplora vari messaggi culturali provenienti dal contesto e li ingloba attraverso la forma e la luce, accorpando i materiali e la tecnologia in una struttura solida lunga 16mt, dove la luce viene proposta come “tessuto di contatto”. L’integrazione visiva si raggiunge grazie alla sua geometria fortemente scandita da una serie di tagli verticali e orizzontali. Questa articolazione spaziale permette alla luce del giorno di entrare all’interno del padiglione, mentre simultaneamente gli apparecchi di illuminazione proiettano “colonne di luce” nello spazio che ospita l’installazione.
