5"X7" Pencil on paper Another one from my lunchtime walk in the rain last week. Mondays are a struggle and it is all I can do to get something posted before midnight, so I can't think of anything original to say here.

7"X5" Pencil on paper I went for a walk at lunchtime and took some photos, I should have enough to keep me going for a few days. I wanted to actually sketch outside, but it was too wet and still quite cold. Still, at least I got some decent pictures without having to snap them through the car window. I guess most people (if they have the choice) live in the country and work in the town. I, on the other hand live close to downtown in a small city and work, well not quite in the country, but on the edge of a very small, very picturesque town. This means that at least I get to take very scenic lunchtime walks.

The falls gives you sense of power, along with the power it generates, or not.However, the purpose of this post was to give you some photo editing tip.

Walt Whitman così scriveva sul Philadelphia Press il 4 giugno del 1880 (per leggere tutto l’articolo si veda l’archivio del New York Times): *Per cogliere veramente l’essenza di un'immagine, di un libro, di un brano musicale, di un opera architettonica, di un grande scenario o anche della comune luce del sole o di un paesaggio, a volte bastano 5 minuti della vita di un uomo, fortunati per un concorso di circostanze occasionali, che sanno mostrare in pochi attimi il culmine di anni di lettura, di viaggio e di pensiero. Questo è quello che mi è successo con le cascate del Niagara, alle 2 di questo pomeriggio, il cui superbo aspetto fatto di azione, di colore e maestosa possanza, (come un colossale agglomerato di statue greche), dava un immediato ed indescrivibile spettacolo …Sopra

We had a great night tonight! We just played the longest acoustic set we've ever played and had a great time doing it. There were about two hundred people in the hard rock cafe right by the falls, and I can definately say that we " soft rocked" the hard rock" tonight . Bryce already filled you in on Vegas, we all made it out alive, and had a great time. So there was a casino literally right next door to our hotel, and since I didn't do to much gambling in Vegas this time and had most of the day off, I wandered over there with Bryce. It seemed completely harmless at the time........... Until we sat down with the dealer from hell. I've never seen a dealer get black jack seven consecutive times....... Until today. We just started laughing it was so ridiculous. We barely made it out of there with the clothes on our backs. After our grave defeat we went and shared a moment by the waterfall. There we were, watching the great Niagara Falls, and I have a six foot- four ,blond Canadian sobbi

(Ovvero quella meta che se vai in Canada non puoi perderti perché sarebbe un po’ come andare a Roma e non vedere il Colosseo). Prima impressione: me le aspettavo più alte. Che è anche la classica frase che si dice quando si incontra un personaggio della televisione che non sia Brigitte Nielsen. Seconda impressione: le cascate americane ci fanno una pippa a quelle canadesi. Perché dovete sapere, miei cari amici, che le cascate del Niagara sono ubicate proprio al confine tra i due Stati. Siccome non siamo in Messico non c’è nessun muro da costruire, per cui questi che hanno fatto? Ci hanno piazzato le cascate. Ma mica una sola, due. Quindi gli americani hanno le loro e i canadesi pure, solo che noi (perché ormai mi sento canadese) ce le abbiamo più grandi. Noi maschi abbiamo sempre questa fissa delle dimensioni. Terza impressione: da sotto è davvero una figata. Infatti dal lato canadese si può prendere la barca che ti porta vicino vicino alle cascate per farti godere

Wow, when you're not working and on vacation, it's definitely hard to set aside some time to blog! Anyways, as promised I am going to fulfill my duties (thanks to all of you who voted in my scientific mini-poll) and post the rest of my Korea adventure and more.So right now we're holed up at the Best Western Niagara. When we saw the setup for a buffet we inquired at the front desk. They told us it was 11,000w ($11USD) per person for the "western breakfast buffet" so we were pretty curious as to what would be offered. Here is a picture of the buffet setup without food (this was taken the night before):You're probably wondering why they call this hotel the Best Western Niagara. Well, this should answer your question--it's a waterfall type thingy in the main lobby of the hotel, right where the seating is for the restaurant. I really felt like I was at the Niagara Falls believe it or not! Honest, really! ;)The buffet hours were from 7am-10am. We planned on eating at 8am but that didn'

Second to the Great Wall of China, Niagara Fall is the next thing i wanted to visit immediately after reading about it in Geography class at 15. 10 years later, i arrived there. I've to admitt, it was a little less than my great expectation. I had expected a tall fall plunging down. I realise it's the biggest fall(10 years ago, not sure if it still is) because it range across the border of United States and Canada. Big in the sense that it spreads across a wide border.I love the fall for it's magnificient plunge and the unexpected rainbow appearing due to sunlight shinning on the vapour thrown up by the heavy plunge. The water looks fresh and green. It's just refreshing to be there. We drove up to the New York state(with police car tailing us), safely and head straight to niagara fall. Supposedly, they've cruises bringing you down at the bottom of the fall, doing one big tour but it wasn't open during Spring so we didn't get to do that. Insterestingly there were alot of Indian

Las cataratas del Niágara son un pequeño grupo de grandes cascadas situadas en el río Niágara en la zona oriental de América del Norte, en la frontera entre los Estados Unidos y Canadá.Comprenden tres cataratas: Las «cataratas canadienses» (Ontario), las «cataratas americanas» (Nueva York) y las más pequeñas, las «cataratas Velo de Novia». Aunque no tienen una gran altura, son muy amplias, y son las más voluminosas de América del Norte, por pasar por ellas toda el agua de los Grandes Lagos.Desde que fueron descubiertas por los colonizadores europeos se han hecho muy populares, no sólo por su belleza sino también por ser una fuente de energía y un desafiante proyecto de conservación medioambiental. Son un sitio de turismo compartido por las ciudades de Niagara Falls (Nueva York) y Niagara Falls (Ontario).Fuente: wikipediaGracias Ricardo.Tags QEV: catarataras, niagara, invierno, fotos, pptGracias.

This is one travel destination for which we had been waiting for months together. History of Niagara falls -Niagara Falls are a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River in eastern North America, on the border between Ontario, Canada and New York State.While not exceptionally high, Niagara Falls is very wide. With more than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falling over the crestline every minute in high flow, and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average, it is the most powerful waterfall in North America. Niagara Falls is renowned both for its beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power for Ontario and New York. Preserving this natural wonder from commercial over-development, while allowing for the needs of the area's people, has been a challenging project for environmental preservationists since the 1800s. A popular tourist site for over a century, the Falls are shared between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Fal

Niagara Falls, both the Canadian and the American side are perhaps one of the most beautiful places on earth and several renowned poets have been known to write some of their best works while sitting near the falls. This place attracts tourists from all parts of the world and a visit to the Niagara Falls for a romantic getaway is an excellent option. The 56 meters high American Falls are the higher of the two falls and looks stunning at night when it is illuminated by a profusion of colored lights. An amazing fact about the Niagara Falls is that the water of the river that is located at the base of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls is higher than the falls itself. Places Worth Visiting During Your Niagara Falls Romantic Getaway During your romantic getaway at Niagara Falls you can also visit the 100-acre Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens that houses perhaps the finest collection of trees and shrubs in Canada.

This very rare photo was taken in the year 1911 when it was said Niagara Falls was completely frozen. Niagara Falls is a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River in eastern North America, on the border between the United States and Canada. Niagara Falls (French: les Chutes du Niagara) comprises three separate waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Falls), the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls. The Falls are located 16 miles (26 km) away from the U.S. city of Buffalo and 43 miles (69 km) from the Canadian city of Toronto. The distance to downtown Toronto is 80 miles (123 km) when using roads. The Falls formed after the receding of the glaciers of the most recent Ice Age, as water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment enroute to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, Niagara Falls is very wide. With more than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falling over the crestline every minute in

The following photos were enclosed in an email I received today from a list group I belong to.  After doing a bit of web searching, it appears that the pictures are authentic.  Today, it is virtually impossible for the Falls to freeze due to the installation of the ice boom.  Click any of the photos for a larger version.        Technorati Tags: Niagara Falls, frozen, 1911, ice, snow Sponsored By: 2007 Buffalo Calendars 2007 Calendars with Buffalo images, ships in 2 days.

This was my first attempt to take a panorama picture with my camera. Unfortunately, Niagara Falls is not a very good subject because the mist and hence the lighting conditions are always changing (not to mention the mist all over the photographer and camera lens). Still, it was fun to finally try out the photo stitching program. Nothing like cool software which actually works (the previous post was done entirely by hand, next time I'll know better)! The seagull in the picture was captured purely by chance.

ePower Synergies Inc. is a “designer, developer, and manager of transportation systems for sustainable eCommunities.” The company would like to offer Niagra Falls tourists the chance to rent a ZENN Neighborhood Electric Vehicle. According to The Buffalo News, Brian M. Klumpp Jr., vice president of marketing and sales for ePower, thinks electric vehicle rentals would be "a great way to help attract people to this neck of the woods." Local Tourism Advisory Board member Debora Krieger pointed out that "Earth's Favorite Vehicle's" 35-mile range would leave ZENN drivers attempting to nip across the border into Canada stranded somewhere between Lewiston and Niagara Falls. What then? Ever the pragmatist, Mr. Klumpp Jr. said they'd tow 'em back.
