When it's 100 during the day, people come out at night. Even in the rain! These streets were full of little restaurant, bars, and tourist traps. Plenty of county fair type games, and even a few traditional Japanese archery rooms.
Sometimes when I'm photographing the underside of Covered Bridges I might see some wood carvings or graffiti but this is the first time I've seen placards with Bible Scriptures, in this case, parts of Psalm 119:5-16, affixed to the underside structure of a bridge. The Siegrist's Mill Covered Bridge was originally built in 1885 in West Hempfield Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 2011 flood waters from tropical storm Lee lifted the bridge off its abutments and it floated downstream. The roots of a large sycamore tree stopped the bridge's progress and two large cranes were used to lift the bridge out of the Chiques Creek and onto dry land.
The decision to rebuild the bridge was made and two companies, Rettew Associates and Timber Frames, worked together to do the rebuild. They dismantled the existing bridge and marked salvageable parts that would go into the rebuild. Thirty of the existing timber pieces were used and 365 new pieces were added. In May of 2013, a 300 ton crane positioned the bridge on its new foundation which had been elevated by two feet from the original level to help prevent future flood damage. The rebuilt bridge, just like its predecessor, uses pine boards and battens and iw roofed with cedar shakes. The timber are rough-sawn Douglas Fir.
The bridge has a Burr arch design and is 101 feet long. The WGCB# for the bridge is 38-36-37#2.

Kathakali has always been difficult to understand, tough to relate and hard to comprehend !!! But no less, when the story was explained before the play... it took the audience by awe, the drumbeats(melam) and the colors did not vanish from my mind for a week. It kept coming back, taking me to another world of ancient art !!!
May 2012 © Lise Utne. The double portrait is from 1891 or 1892, and was photographed by Tora Petterson, Östersund, Sweden. I found it in a shop a couple of years ago, in its present condition.

When, the night comes,..There are things, wonders,...
....That we can not see,..at day light,..Only at night,..belles amies,
When this moment unfolded we were rendered speechless, and this photograph cannot hope to do justice to the show put on by the heavens in this moment. Right at sunset the northern sky turned this magnificent lavender color that was otherworldly beautiful like nothing I'd ever seen. I promise this isn't manipulated or oversaturated and if anything it is less vibrant than what it looked like to the eye in real time.
This panoramic view taken from Skyline Drive looks down upon on Saint Louis Bay and the busy Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior. The bright incandescent bulbs pierce the gathering darkness as a Proctor Yard crew starts up the ramp to Collingwood with a load of limestone they picked up from CN-Hallet Dock 5 as seen in this shot captured only twenty minutes earlier: flic.kr/p/2pdwX8o The train is led by a pair of rebuilt tunnel motors bracketing an SD40-2, BLE 903, IC 6261, and DMIR 408 all in CN dress.
Across the bay can be seen the General Mills and CHS elevators, and then seven miles to the east jutting out into the water are the massive ex Great Northern Railway ore docks and present day BNSF's Allouez docks. At left center is the real prize in this photo, the Queen of the Lake, the mighty MV Paul R. Tregurtha at 1013.5 ft the largest vessel currently sailing on the Great Lakes. Launched in February 1981 as MV William J. De Lancey, she was the last of the thirteen 'thousand footers' to enter service on the Great Lakes, and was also the last Great Lakes vessel built at the American Ship Building Company yard in Lorain, Ohio. The MV Paul R. Tregurtha is the current flagship of the Interlake Steamship Company's ten vessel fleet.
We watched her stream into the bay beneath the John A. Blatnik Bridge and then spin herself around entirely unassisted. She is now backing into position to tied up at the Midwest Energy Resources Terminal where she will take on a load of coal and depart the following day for St. Clair and Monroe, Michigan.

Jedi Master Yoda, designed by Kawahata Fumiaki, folded/interpreted by Boon.
Paper : Elephant Hide, 30x30cm, green acrylic paint applied on one side, wet finished.
Just testing how EH will fare on this model and errr .... generally messing around ... I need the distraction ... :-)
I had been wanting to do something related to the Hokusai Magician for the longest time but hadn't got around to doing it properly. Just recently, I was reminded of Yoda's words of wisdom in someone's FB posting and I just *have* to do this image ... :-)
Not quite there yet. Planning to fold one more Yoda when time permits - promised a friend quite some time ago that I would give him one and he seems to be getting a bit impatient ... :-) Will likely use a slightly larger square and pose it in the manner similar to the diagrams. And will fine tune a bit more, here and there.
When I pre-ordered the Diamond Edition Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray/DVD combo at my local Disney Store on July 28, 2014, I also received the exclusive Lithograph Set. It consists of a large cardboard folder containing four full color 10'' x 14'' lithographs of scenes from the original 1950 animated movie. The cover has an image based on that of the box art on the combo pack. The inside of the folder has a beautiful image of the cottage of Briar Rose and the Three Good Fairies. I am really pleased with this lithograph set. All of the images are memorable and beautiful.
There is hope, when connected to the Holy Spirit, the power of God, and being available as a conduit for the power to flow to others.
Hi Flickr!
It has been too long. Well, that is clearly an understatement! I'm currently attempting to daily upload onto Flickr from now on. In the past when I DID upload daily it gave me such positive vibes that I seem to be missing from my life. All of the love, creative juices flowing, and inspiration from other artists really changed me for the better. I need more of that in my life! As for a little update, I am still very much incorporating photography into my daily life (Lifestyle Photography), but I am missing the deep, personal story telling connection I used to have with my photos. Needless to say I'm not complaining of the countless cute babies, beautiful weddings, and wonderful families I get to photograph. So, I suppose you can say this is my release.
Can't wait to share with you guys, I've really missed this!

When the sun catches those underbelly feathers and wings of the bald eagle, it is like the heavens open and pure gold reflects back....so beautiful. Even the eagle in the tree seems impressed. www.troymarcyphotography.com
When I was taking Shaila's audition photos, she wanted me to take this one "just for fun," hence the title.
Tears water the place I first remember You
In a dream of Paradise and flowers
Green flows into me from every direction
Every breath inward feels more and more
Exquisite Joy flourishing
Where once sorrow scorched the earth
A new Garden grows
You wait patiently on the horizon
While my heart dances in all directions
I wave to You
Crying sweet tears of Ecstasy
I am nothing without this place
Which nourishes my very Soul
It sings:
That Thou Art
That Thou Art
That Thou Art

Day Thirteen:
Those smouldering eyes, those ruby lips, that strong embrace that will take you to heaven. Although the chances of returning from there are perhaps not looking too promising. We all have to eat. And you do look delicious. Those flushed cheeks, the heaving bosom....the....sorry...I got to bosom and started to feel a little overcome.
Ah but my dear we shall live on forever. Children of the night. What music we shall make. Yes I said forever. What's that look for? You do understand the undead immortality that comes with this relationship? Well yes it would be with me. That's kind of the thing that comes with the nocturnal nibbles. No I'm not just after your body. Well not all of it. Just your red gooey centre. Yes I mean blood. You're quite the vintage. Not I don't mean you're old I mean you're...um...mature...no no I didn't say that you're...erm.
Bollocks.
I'm starting to see an issue with this whole vampiric brides thing. Yes there is the innate sexiness of being a creature of the night but that seems to dissipate when I open my mouth and let words come out. And so there I am. Left to a lonesome existence as I slowly meander through time.
Still....at least I'm sexy.

When I'll know more about the specs I'll add them in the overview.
She probably has the Japan Skin Tone ( per a kind W Club member) and I'll take a wild guess, Hair Colour blonde? :-D
Okay, I added the specs that I found on the Hobby Search site. She's indeed Japan and her hair is Honey Gold:-)
The channel country, out by the Big Red sand dune, changes dramatically when rain arrives, or when run-off from distant storms makes its way to Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre in the centre of the continent. Wildflowers proliferate and the growth of grasses show why the region supports some of the best beef cattle in the country.
Good advice from Benni Girl. She takes care of the bad stuff and never looks back. Examples:
Booster shot at the vet? Give him a kiss and get a cookie. Bad dog growls in your face? Bounce backwards and walk on by. Mom sick so no morning walk? Snuggle, watch t.v. and get lots of extra patting.
(Not sick now, sorry to mislead you.)
Watch Benni and learn!
