Day 2. 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.

Visually, I think the parking logos made the biggest impact. They were also the easiest to make! Just print and tape on a toothpick.

Visually this image is very interesting with lots of light varying colours observed. the white light of the the text draws ones attention to it directly against all of the other reflections and lighting seen.
The Brief: ' A personal response to Venice'.
This project was completed only a month ago - 'Visually Impaired in Venice'. I spent a week in Venice with my 'Foundation Course' peers.
Whilst in Venice i became fascinated by sensory language and my own sense of touch. I realised after a few days of being among the spectacular sights of architecture, water and food, I wanted to work from the perspective of someone who would experience Venice blind.
Leading me to question the world of the visually impaired. Immersed by the beauty of drawing, I wanted to challenge how the depths and surface of drawing could be experienced by a visually impaired person.
'Visually impaired in Venice' 2015 was created through learning braille, use of transparent materials like dissolvable fabrics, glue and acetate as well as drawing with my sense of smell with tomato paste, garlic, cheese.
Please visually inspect both tanks. If not full please refuel and send another dash photo showing full.

Secretary Walker joined Division for the Visually Impaired (DVI) Director Elisha Jenkins for a Strategic Planning Session with DVI Stakeholders on how to meet the needs of citizens who are blind or visually impaired with the resources available.
“Maybe there are other things we should be doing with the resources we have,” Secretary Walker said in urging stakeholders to think outside the box. “We want to make every dollar count, but I want to find more dollars” through the federal government or grants.
Larry Trunfio with the Department of Human Resources facilitated the Aug. 2 session, which set priority areas over the next three to five years and potential action items to address those areas. Participants will now divide into workgroups to flesh out the priorities and the action items.

Devoxx 2016 - Java on Mobile - Write once, Run on iOS & Android
JavaFX 8 offers a rich set of visually appealing UI controls, a convenient property binding mechanism for event handling, and a powerful tool for layout and design. This session shows you how to develop mobile applications with Java and JavaFX and deploy them on IOS and Android devices, all from the same code base. The session begins with an overview of JavaFX UI controls and property binding techniques. After demonstrating an example JavaFX application with FXML, Scene Builder, and Gluon Maps, you'll learn how to deploy the app on a mobile device (IOS or Android). You'll also learn how to keep connected mobile devices updated when data in the cloud changes. This session includes several useful examples and shows how Java and JavaFX makes it easy to develop applications that target different mobile devices. This write once, run anywhere (WORA) platform uses an IDE plug in and library support from Gluon to create native applications.

Promotional pictures taken of the West Riding's original hotel rooms before refurbishment. Celebrating heritage and vintage details this was probably one of the most visually pleasing locations I've been asked to shoot, even if it is strongly rumoured to be haunted.
