No symbol is more closely identified with the University of the Philippines than the statue of the Oblation. The naked figure of a young man in a symbolic gesture of sacrificial offering of service to country and humanity has become a landmark in every campus of the University. For the hundreds of thousands of UP Alumni, the Oblation has become their major symbolic link with Alma Mater. The Oblation is also the major rallying point for all kinds of dissent, protest actions, and social criticism, as well as expressions of public service, nationalism, and patriotism. For the autonomous units and all the campuses of the University of the Philippines, the Oblation is the enduring symbol of their unity in mission, vision and traditions.
The Oblation, a masterpiece of Filipino sculptor Guillermo E. Tolentino, was commissioned in 1935 by President Rafael Palma, first Filipino president of the University. His order was for professor Tolentino to translate the second stanza of Rizal's "Last Farewell" into a monument which would be the identifying landmark of the University.

47 828 heads 5Z60 Carnforth to Tyseley heading down the Sutton Park line with 57 315 on the opposite end of the train. The tree growth at this location has been phoenominal during the past 12 months with the shot of anything heading in the Park Lane direction nigh on impossible.

Waiting to hear back from a few people, so I decided when I got home from work to finally get around to finishing my girl up!
She's been in pieces for the entire week due to me working on her tattoos (one of which you can see on her shoulder) and the others are currently hidden by her shirt. I'll post separate pictures of them some day soon. :D
Anyway, I'm incredibly happy with this one! Her eyebrows/lashes look a lot better than the last, I think. >3<
No sooner did the Disney "A Christmas Carol" train leave Old Sacramento, than a train of Union Pacific business cars took its place. UP 4908 (EMD SD70M) is on the point.
While I was growing up my mother worked in Pontins Holiday Camp in Blackpool for many years.
It's recently shutdown so I had to pay a visit to see the place before it vanished completely.
In some of the last moments of fall daylight, UP 3985 takes the Twin City Limited Tour train north. This shot was taken just after the train ran a reverse movement out of the UP's South Saint Paul Yard. The train will soon cross over the Mississippi River on the Hoffman Swing Bridge and head for downtown Saint Paul. It will spend the weekend on display there and would depart Tuesday, September 30, 2008. This shot was taken standing in the back of my truck for elevation.

I have more long wispy bits in the back than the front locs, but this helps in keeping them clipped up. The cord I'm using as a hairband is just a narrow cloth belt from a shirt. It's doubled over, wrapped around my head with one of the ends pushed through the loop that forms and brought back around my head to tie at the top. Simple but effective, and it's flexible enough that I can cover more of my head if necessary than a standard fabric headband.
This photo definitely was inspired by the song Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer. Apart from that I had to trespass to get to this building site which was pretty cool. I would like to go back there with my brother, already have another idea and all, but I'm not sure how fast they're building so we'll see how it all turns out.
That's it really. Hope you all have had a great day and as the song clearly says gotta keep your head up! :)
press L, it looks so much better on black.
