Deadwood Stage
Today's picture shows a great shot of the Deadwood Stage. The picture was taken in 1890. The stage has a full load of passengers. There has been some great discussion on the topic of old historic towns being turned into gambling towns with casinos. I had mentioned that I visited Virginia City in Nevada, and how sad it was to see the historic mining boom town turned into little more than rows and rows of tawdry slot machines. On the other hand, I had the chance to visit Silverton, Colorado several times. Gaming had not moved in there, and it was a quaint little town that had very well preserved its history. Nice little shops, lots of antiques, and lots of historical things to see. https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...s.blogspot.com http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...AQMGZdk1U/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...AQMGZdk1U/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogs...~4/ZBY0ZYUmcPI More... |
Red Elephants, Kenya
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
The "red elephants" of Kenya's Tsavo East National Park owe their color to the red soil, which they roll in as a dirt bath. Across Africa, sustained poaching of bulls and large females makes orphans of the young and distorts the gene pool in favor of weaker, smaller animals. See more pictures from the October 2012 feature story "Blood Ivory."

Tasha Lewis
http://www.aadstatic.com/uploads/tas...4243_large.jpg
About Tasha: Artist Tasha Lewis has been creating swarms of magnetic butterflies and installing them on the streets of Indianapolis, creating guerrilla art that does not cause any harm to public property. Her current work is focused on re-imagining taxidermy and other methods of preserving life. Her interest in preservation stems from her fascination with the re-presentational powers of photography. She is fascinated with how we as viewers relate to a leaf that has been mechanically produced to look and feel very similar to a real leaf. She has been scaling up that idea to make animal bodies, tree limbs, and she hopes to eventually create whole environments. Tasha explains the work further by saying, “my process centers around a cyanotype coated fabric. The cyanotype process dates from the 1870s and is one of the earliest forms of photography. Its images are blue to white, and are exposed in the sun and developed with water. They can be toned or bleached into a purple/mauve or orange/yellow accordingly. The blue of these pieces represents a mineral lens on nature. The natural world is full of blue things, but they are not fertile things; the oceans and sky are blue but there are very few blue animals or plants. The cyan blue of these pieces feels like life in a way, but it also feels frozen. I am attempting to catch life, to preserve it in motion, and to allow it to transcend the usual forms of human conservation.” http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...isIDZkMsQ/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...isIDZkMsQ/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...fI:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...fI:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...fI:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/PuSkH-04yQ0 More... |

Kodak is the newest addition to our furry family, and is only a nine week old baby. We acquired him after a friend got him and decided she couldn't handle him. Fortunately for us, he fit into our house like a dream and we couldn't be happier to have him. He's proving to be a very smart, sweet puppy with a fantastic temperament and we feel honored to have him as part of the family. More... |
