Cirque de la Symphonie performs with Pacific Symphony on July 17, 2010 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.
We found these old poles a few years ago. I took a few shots and luckily they were all a little different. Anyway, this one had better sky and better light and silhouettes too. I thought it would be a funny caption since everyone I know seems to have their cell phones attached to their hands now....LOL! Have a great week everyone.

I don't see these very often so It was a pleasant surprise to come across this one. It stayed in view long enough for me to get a few shots.
Some friends have an Apple computer and to me it looks like a work of art! The neat little wireless keyboard is beautiful. The keys are set in what looks like satinised stainless steel.

The architecture of BSSR House is the physical expression of a way of being: the form does not follow a particular fashion, it follows a particular life. BSSR House is designed and built on the principles of “less is more”, “doing more with less” and “less but better”.
The name of the house is “Minimum to the Max!” which I believe also aptly describes the feel of this room. In the desk and workspace area, there are only computers, desks, task lighting, and chairs.
Likely, when the space is in use, there are also project materials strewn about the desks. However, at the end of the day, all items are put away and stored on the bookcase.
The bookcase is built into the wall and was part of the original design of the home. Without the bookcase, the space would feel empty or impersonal. With the bookcase, the space transforms into an inspiring studio that can provide clarity and creativity.
The long window that runs along the wall opposite of the bookshelf is also nice for bringing natural light into the space.

'Went through the slideshow on Flickr and absolutely love the home.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Sorry but this just looks like an old schoolhouse renovated.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'All the (Continental) European homes I’ve ever visited have all looked pretty much the same, with white walls, lots of bookshelves and uncarpeted floors. That kind of style is not to my taste at all – it’s just not cosy enough – and nor is this office, but I have to say it is beautifully done. It looks a bit like a library with the identical desks and chairs. And I can’t imagine any other computer but a Mac in that space.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Maybe the low windows are motivation to stay seated and finish your work — you can’t gaze out the window while standing?? I do like the large bookshelf, though.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I do like how neat and clean it is.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'The design is a little stark for my tastes, but I am inspired by the modern lines and clean, functional spaces.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'What’s striking to me is that even though the bookcases are used for organizing supplies, books and related documents, the shelves aren’t overflowing. So often wall-spanning bookcases like this can be a clutter magnet, but in this picture, some of the cubbies have barely anything in them. Impressive.'
'Where is the file cabinet? Are we to understand that this office is completely paperless?'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Not to my taste but it works, by the standards of that style.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Fun to find a house only a few miles from mine on a website written on the other side of the world. The windows are not as small as you’think by seeing the pictures.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I *don’t* like how it looks, but I feel like that might be the point. It would be a perfect craft studio for me – nothing distracting from the task at hand, plenty of storage for supplies and works-in-progress. It’s a blank slate of a room, empty of all but potential and the means to achieve it. If this were intended to be an entertaining area or a living space it would fail horribly – but as a workspace, it’s right on target.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'W-o-w! Really, really great minimalist design.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'The windows next to the desk seem positioned so that you would have an open horizon if you were sitting at the desk. Maximizing window space, maybe?'
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'I thought the architect’s statement at the beginning of the album summed it up perfectly:
The only universal measure is whether the space feels comfortable and right to the people who use it (emphasis mine). Minimalism – or, as the sculptor Donald Judd preferred to put it, the simple expression of complex thought – is only one valid response of an aesthetically diverse society, answering the needs of particular individuals and provoking debate in society at large about how we choose to live and how we expect architecture to support these choices.
The windows make sense to me, both as frames for a specific view of the surrounding countryside and as a way of minimizing resource use: great big windows can equal “great big opportunity for heat loss”.'

Sorry I haven't been on in a few days, our router for wireless internet died and the only way I can get internet it to use my parents' computer - so I get it pretty rarely. Plus my mom seems determined to kill me by signing me up for countless afterschool activities (I think I won't even have time to breathe), so that makes me rather busy. :P
Anyway here's a shot I took yesterday afternoon; I was just sitting on the back porch and realized that I was surrounded by birds, seriously. I saw blue jays & this little crazy woodpecker who wasn't scared of humans (I was about a meter and a half away), however he flew away when the cat arrived! I think we're getting this abundance of birds because of the neighbour's pear tree. :)
I'd love comments & criticism!
iss059e016770 (April 8, 2019) --- Expedition 59 Flight Engineer David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency participates in a six-and-a-half hour spacewalk with NASA astronaut Anne McClain (out of frame). The spacewalkers successfully established a redundant path of power to the Canadian-built robotic arm, known as Canadarm2, and installed cables to provide for more expansive wireless communications coverage outside the orbital complex, as well as for enhanced hardwired computer network capability. The duo also relocated an adapter plate from the first spacewalk in preparation for future battery upgrade operations.
This abandoned building is out in the middle of nowhere, near the marshes of the Napa Slough. Details on what this place was used for and when it was built are scant, but the local Fish and Game department says it was "once used as a private communications center".
Wikimapia doesn't have much to add, other than the fact that "Incoming press releases came in via teletype from the Pacific area, and were then relayed to San Francisco for newspaper distribution."
There are a few more scraps of info here.
If you know anything else about this place, please leave a comment.

A cropped image of a water droplet
This was the 1st of my attempts of water droplets and I did not shoot in raw for this image.
The colours are from the flash bouncing off the silver side of a reflector. This shoot allowed me to understand what variations could be achieved by moving and repositioning the light and the camera from the subject.
The water is suspended 4ft above a clear coloured pyrex bowl

As we go wireless, did you ever wonder what the effect would be on the birds who used the wires as perches? Well, here you go. Now you know.
I've been off-grid for a week, so have some catching up to do. If you took a picture you want me to see, and think I missed it, feel free to send me a note directing me to it. I'll be trying to catch up in the meantime.
