The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.
Visually at my finest . I think I had a henna hair color here and tiny braids.
However life was so crazy and disturbing beyond belief.
I was 5"5' and weighed 125 pounds.

A visually striking plate, and Duffy’s third dish which paired a 118°poached-then-chilled-then-carmelized only on one side sea scallop with variations of tapioca (puffed and dusted with hibiscus salt, hibiscus-soaked tapioca chip and licorice-y Sambuca soaked tapioca balls), hibiscus (salt and beet-red hibiscus syrup) with toasted goats milk puree and licorice-flavoured elements (shaved fennel bulb, stalk, fronds and hoja santa leaves). Duffy explained that his use of the chewy tapioca balls (the type found in bubble tea) was not just for texture, but utilizing the unique component as a carrier of licorice-y Sambuca in a chilled scallop plate.

NWA 17502 is visually pleasing, the typical rock found on the lunar surface, itself a capsule reflecting the bombardment the moon has received, smashing rocks together by numerous meteor strikes.
This is a central slice from the single stone, classified as a lunar fragmental breccia. "Electron microprobe analysis confirms a lunar fragmental breccia with plagioclase-rich lithic clasts, mineral clasts of olivine and pigeonite, and shock melt. Major phases are plagioclase, pigeonite, and olivine."
It was found in 2024 in the Sahara desert, where it stuck out against the yellow sands. 6" x 3.5" x 2mm and 69g

A hand design using Chameleon pens to create an interesting 'explosion' of colour and flowers which is visually interesting.
A very interesting and visually rich marker stone dedicated in the first instance to Frederick Evans who died aged two years. The soul of the boy is seen carried to Heaven by an angel as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descends to earth. The stone is flanked by inverted torches which symbolise death. The serpent entwining a rod resembles the rod of Asclepius the Greek god associated with healing and medicine. Its Christian significance may relate to the story in the Book of Numbers of how Moses, after God had smitten doubting Israelites with poisonous snakes, on instructions from God, saved them with a brass serpent entwined round a rod, the sight of it reviving them. Thus it has also come to represent salvation, resurrection (as well as sin and temptation!) The reverse of this stone is dedicated to other family members and also William Morgan, "faithful comrade and servant of Evan Evans". See link for reverse of this stone: www.flickr.com/photos/16498755@N07/9402870522/
"Short was his life,
Yet liveth he ever;
Death has its due,
Yet dies he never".
"Long nights and days I bore great pain,
To waite for cure t'was all in vain,
Till God above he thought it best,
To save my pain and give me rest".
St Cybi's was dedicated to the 6th Century Cornish St Cybi who crossed the Bristol Channel and sailed up the Usk, landing at Llangybbi. After a confrontation with a local chieftain involving a couple of miracles, he was granted the land for the church. The tower, nave and chancel date from the 13/4th Centuries, with 17th Century fittings such as the font. The church is noted for its mediaeval wall paintings, including the famous "Christ of the Trades" or "Sunday Christ". Unfortunately they have been badly damaged, possible by Cromwell's Roundheads who tore through Monmouthshire destroying all signs of "idolatry" like a 17th Century Taliban.

Schopenhauer’s philosophy visually explained (as far as I understand it with my limited knowledge)
The empirical consciousness is like a glass with many facets.
The world of perception – or rather the (human) perception of the world – is like a glass with many facets.
Space, time and causality are properties of the empirical consciousness, not of the world, the world substance, the thing-in-itself. They are the modes of human cognition.
As a glass with many facets divides the object into many separated objects, space, time and causality divide the world substance, the will to life and reproduction, into many separated individuals and many separated individual wills. The causality divides into subject and object.
Space, time and causality are mere illusions caused by human limitation, by the limitation of the empirical consciousness.
Any individual has an object/subject mode.
An object cannot exist without a subject and vice versa.
There is no bridge between the world as representation and the world as idea. Man cannot transcend the glass with the many facets or the Veil of Maya. But he can get a glimpse of the world behind the glass or veil by means of aesthetic contemplation, compassion for the suffering of his neighbor and finally by an ascetic way of living.
A glass with many facets – extract from Schopenhauer’s “The World as Will and representation” where he wonders over the plurality and yet the uniformity of the world:
If we start from the knowledge of the particular, and not from that of the Idea, there is something astonishing, and sometimes even terrible, in the absolute uniformity of the laws of nature. It might astonish us that nature never once forgets her laws; that if, for example, it has once been according to a law of nature that where certain materials are brought together under given conditions, a chemical combination will take place, or gas will be evolved, or they will go on fire; if these conditions are fulfilled, whether by our interposition or entirely by chance (and in this case the accuracy is the more astonishing because unexpected), to-day just as well as a thousand years ago, the determined phenomenon will take place at once and without delay. We are most vividly impressed with the marvellousness of this fact in the case of rare phenomena, which only occur under very complex circumstances, but which we are previously informed will take place if these conditions are fulfilled. For example, when we are told that if certain metals, when arranged alternately in fluid with which an acid has been mixed, are brought into contact, silver leaf brought between the extremities of this combination will suddenly be consumed in a green flame; or that under certain conditions the hard diamond turns into carbonic acid. It is the ghostly omnipresence of natural forces that astonishes us in such cases, and we remark here what in the case of phenomena which happen daily no longer strikes us, how the connection between cause and effect is really as mysterious as that which is imagined between a magic formula and a spirit that must appear when invoked by it. On the other hand, if we have attained to the philosophical knowledge that a force of nature is a definite grade of the objectification of will, that is to say, a definite grade of that which we recognise as our own inmost nature, and that this will, in itself, and distinguished from its phenomena and their forms, lies outside time and space, and that, therefore, the multiplicity, which is conditioned by time and space, does not belong to it, nor directly to the grade of its objectification, i.e., the Idea, but only to the phenomena of the Idea; and if we remember that the law of causality has significance only in relation to time and space, inasmuch as it determines the position of the multitude of phenomena of the different Ideas in which the will reveals itself, governing the order in which they must appear; if, I say, in this knowledge the inner meaning of the great doctrine of Kant has been fully grasped, the doctrine that time, space, and causality do not belong to the thing-in-itself, but merely to the phenomenon, that they are only the forms of our knowledge, not qualities of things in themselves; then we shall understand that this astonishment at the conformity to law and accurate operation of a force of nature, this astonishment at the complete sameness of all its million phenomena and the infallibility of their occurrence, is really like that of a child or a savage who looks for the first time through a glass with many facets at a flower, and marvels at the complete similarity of the innumerable flowers which he sees, and counts the leaves of each of them separately.

Blind and low-vision high school students were joined by parents and educators while touring the University of Michigan’s 3D Lab in the Duderstadt Center in Ann Arbor, MI on November 1, 2018.
The tour was part of the program, “21st Century Transportation, Careers for Students Blind and Visually Impaired,” which covered emerging careers in autonomous transportation and what skills and education students would need for a future job in that field. The event was led by Clive D’Souza, an assistant professor of industrial and operations engineering, and also included talks by industry professionals.

Our most recent (and 20th, and 3-year anniversary) Flipernoomr meet-up took place at the same time as some FIFA world cup games which of course were shown on a big screen in the beer garden. As most of us were not interested in watching (and hearing) it, we chose a table far away from the screen, right next to the famous Chinese Tower.
A few minutes after we had sat down, a (both acoustically and visually) loud group of people came to one of adjacent tables and announced that they were celebrating a 30th birthday. This photo shows some of the birthday guests (and, in the background, some bicyclists who seemed to be visually interested).
About half an hour later—verbal communication had become virtually impossible—we chose to give up this table in favor of one that was located near the big screen. The Argentina/Nigeria match (and the people watching it) turned out to be a lot quieter than the multicolored birthday posse.

22-year-old Azer Ćatović was born in Mostar, and has been living here for 14 years. Azer grew up with a sight defect, but by secondary school, he had become fully independent thanks to his education.
As he awaits the start of the second academic year, he spends his summer break doing running training sessions, reading, and taking walks. He does most of his running sessions on a treadmill in the fitness hall of the Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth.
The centre was recently renovated by UNDP and offers full time support in learning and other skills like mobility, self-care, and sight exercises for the visually impaired, use of teaching aids, playing games, going out to town and attending events.

Church Rock volcanic neck in Arizona, USA.
The Navajo Volcanic Field in the Four Corners area of the American southwest has about 80 old, eroded volcanic centers (volcanic necks/volcanic plugs/diatremes) of Oligocene to Miocene age. The most famous and visually distinctive volcanic neck in the area is Ship Rock.
Ship Rock and the dikes radiating from it are principally composed of the scarce igneous rock minette (= potassic mica lamprophyre, the intrusive equivalent of trachybasalt lava) and volcanic breccias. Typical Ship Rock minettes are dense, non-vesicular, finely crystalline, and are composed of alkali feldspar (K-Na feldspar), phlogopite mica (which glitters nicely in the light), diopside pyroxene, some olivine, plus other minor minerals.
Published studies of the eruptive centers in the Navajo Volcanic Field indicate that the original volcanoes erupted violently. This typically happens if the magmas are rich in dissolved gases (water, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, etc.). Minette magmas were not rich in dissolved gases. So why the violent eruptions? The magmas came in contact with groundwater, and the water boiled to steam while confined underground. The steam pressure increased until it overcame the strength of the overlying rocks, resulting in an explosion and the creation of a surface crater (maar). Volcanologists call these phreatomagmatic eruptions (a.k.a. hydrovolcanic eruptions).
Locality: Church Rock, northern side of Rt. 160, east of Kayenta, Navajo County, northeastern Arizona, USA

West African crowned cranes depend highly on their vision and notice very small details in their environment. At the zoo, a crane may become interested in, or disturbed by, a freckle on the skin of a keeper.
Torpedoes are not the most powerful weapons of the fleet (see mass-cannon) but they are cheap to produce and the recent discovery of the fredium greatly help to miniaturize missiles.
The TREBUCHET carries 12 seminuclear class torpedoes, 8 void ones (creating medium size black holes that last 20 seconds) and 4 nano-cloud torpedoes (being able to quickly dismentle ennemy ships or repair minor damages on ally fighters). It's equiped with a high velocity gatling and two rear automatic light laser turrets for self defense.

A visit to the Schuylkill Mall, 11/8/14
If the quality of this picture wasn't horrendous, you could actually see the slotted wall I was trying to photograph. I really need to get an actual camera.
*This is my very first attempt at documenting a shopping mall. Armed only with a 4th generation iPod Touch, the quality didn't turn out as well as I expected and the general framing and composition of the shots suffered in some areas. I hope to both get better equipment and sensibilities to continue doing this.*

A comment from the Irish Amateur Wrestling Association
"Inclusiveness is key! This was spectacular.
A visually impaired wrestler competing in a main stream championship wrestling tournament. Arron, from Portlaoise Combat Academy Vs Peyton from Mohawk Valley Wrestling Club NY. One of the wrestlers was visually impaired, so to even out abilities, both wrestlers were blind folded.
Well done to Referee John for his experienced approach to this bout.
Great sportsmanship & wrestling from both."

I can’t stress this enough… I do not own any rights to the song or images here. I didn’t realize editing videos like this could be so fun… ok, my first one was not amusing at all, but it had to be done. Again, I hope you enjoy sexy Acchan! Some images do repeat randomly… this was done intentionally.

Potsdamer Strasse, Berlin Mitte.
The visually dramatic Sony Center (2000), by architect Helmut Jahn, is fronted by the 26-floor glass-and-steel Bahn Tower.
With its spectacular roof construction the Sony Center has become an internationally famous landmark of Berlin.
Potsdamer Platz is one of the world’s most interesting and popular city squares.
In the 1990s, it was the focus of the biggest private-sector urban construction project in Europe.
In just five years (1993–1998), 19 buildings, 10 streets and 2 plazas were built and a completely new district emerged in the middle of the city.
The master plan was developed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, who worked together with Christoph Kohlbecker, Arata Isozaki, Hans Kollhoff, Ulrike Lauber, Wolfgang Wöhr, Josè Raphael Moneo and Richard Rogers.
Today, Potsdamer Platz attracts more than 70,000 visitors every day.
