The most visually challenging stretch on the Kalalau Trail on the island of Kauai. It is not as dangerous as it appears; If you slip, you would most likely just fall on your butt and stop. There are many other places along this trail which have the illusion of looking less dangerous, however, one slip in those areas and you will slide/fall to your death. -The humble opinion of a Na Pali Coast goat hunter.
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.

Visually I get a big kick out of mixing people with machines, and wanted to draw a non-conventional method of movement for a double-hip amputee.

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

Item on display at the “Multisensory Exhibition for the Blind and Visually Impaired Persons” that shows how visually impaired persons experience artwork via tactile plates and audio guides.
Curated by art historian and art educator Nataša Jovičić and the Modern Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia, the exhibition also sensitizes others to how people living with limited vision experience the world.
The exhibition was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from September 24 to October 2, 2018. WIPO co-organized the event with the government of Croatia.

Volcanic breccia from the Oligocene of New Mexico, USA.
The Navajo Volcanic Field in the Four Corners area of the American southwest has about 80 old, eroded volcanic centers (volcanic necks/diatremes) of Oligocene to Miocene age. The most famous and visually distinctive volcanic neck in this area is Ship Rock, in far-northwestern New Mexico.
Navajo Volcanic Field eruptive centers are dominated by the scarce rock minette, a crystalline-textured, potassium-rich igneous rock. Minette can also be referred to as a potassic mica lamprophyre. Minette is usually finely-crystalline (aphanitic) with some phenocrysts. Contained minerals include alkali feldspar (K-Na feldspar - often sanidine), phlogopite and/or biotite 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 happened when rising magmas came in contact with groundwater - 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 events phreatomagmatic eruptions (a.k.a. hydrovolcanic eruptions).
The rock seen here is a volcanic breccia, a poorly-sorted, clastic-textured, extrusive igneous rock with numerous large, angular grains. Clasts in this material include minette, sedimentary rocks, and mantle peridotite. The rock represents a tephra fallout or tephra flow deposit, erupted from the long-extinct Narbona Pass Maar Volcano in the Chuska Mountains of New Mexico.

There's nothing particularly visually interesting about this hotel in Philadelphia. However, I had a interesting stay here over a bitterly cold Presidents Day weekend in 1996.
A few months earlier I had great stay at a boutique hotel in San Francisco. It was the first time I had stayed at a boutique hotel so I made a reservation at this place, which I think was called the Walnut Street Hotel, because it advertised itself as a "boutique" hotel.
An indifferent college student checked me in at the front desk and I headed to my room. I dropped my luggage off and went out for dinner. When I came back I noticed that it was kind of chilly in the room. At the time I had a little thermometer zipper pull on my suitcase and it was not only kind of chilly it was all of 54 degrees.
I went downstairs to complain to the indifferent college student. He remained indifferent, saying the heat was not working and wouldn't be fixed until the next day.
He did give me an extra blanket though. The extra blanket was the most threadbare blanket I'd ever seen. I put it on my bed, along with all the towels and my parka and, wearing my clothes, I managed to sleep most of the night.
I spent the next day working at the convention center. When I got back to my room that evening it was no longer 54 degrees. Quite the opposite as it was 94 degrees! Opening a window made the room livable and I didn't dare complain for fear that they would turn the heat off.
In addition to the heat and cold problem there was the bathroom, specifically the toilet. The toilet was set off from the shower in this little alcove. The alcove was narrow and wedge-shaped. It was so narrow that my shoulders touched the walls when I sat down and to sit down I literally had to take my pants off beforehand and back into the space. TMI!
To end this story on a good note the hotel television had a Drexel University cable channel that was showing some pretty obscure stuff. One movie was "My New Advisor" by a guy named Jim Bihari, who was an Ohio State University student at the time. It is a feature length movie made for a few thousand dollars about a graduate student and his new advisor going to a conference, mainly by driving back and forth on rural central Ohio roads. It was really funny and had a great soundtrack. I haven't seen it since that stay but I just noticed the whole thing is on YouTube.
Seattle's library for the visually impaired is a stunning example of Streamline Moderne - oh, the irony.
Medieval stained glass in the north nave aisle of York Minster. Most of the nave windows preserve their original 14th century glass, though some scenes are patched and confused visually by the many repairs that have been required over the centuries. Most windows follow the format of two rows of three scenes set within plainer areas of quarries and rich borders.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
Sadly this fortune was not matched by the Minster's vulnerability to fire which has ravaged the building in 3 major outbreaks, the worst in 1829 when a madman set fire to the precious medieval furniture of the choir, which was destroyed along with the organ and the high vaulted ceiling of the eastern half of the church. Only 11 years after this tragedy a careless workman accidentally set fire to the nave roof, which also lost it's vault. Both roofs were rebuilt in replica, but a further fire caused by lightning strike in 1984 destroyed the south transept roof (rebuilt 4 years later).
Most medieval cathedrals were provided with stone vaulted ceilings precisely to avoid the problems suffered here, but York's builders found that building on such an unprecedentedly large scale brought limitations, thus all the Minster's high ceilings had to be built of wood in imitation of stone. An Achilles' Heel, but a beautiful one!

Neha, a 13-year-old Indian visually impaired girl, smiles, as her face filled with colour, during the celebration of India’s colour festival, “Holi”. Holi festival, that have spiritual, historic and traditional values for Hindus.The festival's preamble begins on the night of the full moon. Bonfires are lit on street corners to cleanse the air of evil spirits and bad vibes, and to symbolize the destruction of the wicked Holika, for whom the festival was named. The following morning, the streets fill with people running, shouting, giggling and splashing. Marijuana-based bhang and thandai add to the uninhibited atmosphere.

Visually, the course was attractive - contrasting the golden quail and chutney against dark slate - it popped out, a seeming premonition of things to come. Taste wise, the chive topped quail was tender, warm and decently prepared (where one really can't go wrong with the honey-soy combination). Although my notes are sparse regarding this particular course, what I do recall was the pretty floral additions on the plate that made it a delight to the eyes; what I nearly forgot about, was that the course was served with a bite of foie gras and a spice chutney – a kind addition that was, in retrospect, unnecessary.

A visually stunning decorative map of the world dating to 1852, by French map publisher Victor Levasseur. Levasseur depicts the world on a Mercator Projection, showing the six known continents as well as traces of Antarctica. The cartographic style of this piece is minimalist, but a few elements do bear special note. These include the extension of Oregon territory well into British Columbia, reflecting the American claims that later led to the 54’ 40” dispute. Also in North America, Texas is identified as an independent nation. Far to the north both the Northwest Passage over America and the Northeast Passage over Europe and Asia, are drawn as open and practically navigable waterways. By far this map's most striking feature is its elaborate allegorical border work. Levasseur composed this map for publication in his magnificent Atlas Nacionale de la France Illustree , one of the most decorative and beautifully produced atlases to appear in the 19th century. This particular map is surrounded by four medallions bearing allegorical representations of the seasons. Spring, in the upper left, is represented by a young unclothed woman modestly covering herself with garlands. Summer, in the lower right, is a powerful bearded man wearing an animal skin and surrounded by the bounty of life. Fall, upper right, is a young man reaping the harvest. And winter, lower left, is a huddled old woman in a barren snow covered setting. Atop the map is an image of the firmament, with shooting starts, clouds, and a symbolic representation of the Zodiac. At center is a curious unclothed women with four breasts who appears to be chained to the earth or to a heavy box which she is holding - Pandora? Adam and Eve appear to her right walking hand in hand through pre-fall Eden. There too is the serpent, slithering just behind the couple. At the base of the map an even more interesting scene unfolds in the form of a curious panorama. Here Jesus sits enthroned, bearing a cross in his left hand and pointing with his right, his head surrounded by a pyramid (a Masonic reference?). To his left are a stoic crowd including Napoleon, Socrates, and other unidentifiable great men bearing signs reading Paix (peace), Liber (freedom), and Egalite (equality). Behind them is a domed building that appears to be a Greek or Roman temple. Opposite this scene, on Jesus' right is a very different scene showing a crowd fleeing in terror - these include a Pharisee holding the Torah and a turbaned Saracen. Behind them are the pyramids of Egypt. They are running towards what appears to be the jungle in the midst of which is a plinth upon which sets a bust of Satan. In this we can only assume that Levasseur is attempting to convey the righteousness of reason and logic over emotion and old world superstition. Published by V. Levasseur as page no. 95 in the 1853 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.
