No Rain, No Rainbows…

Sun beams and Storm clouds

This week, I had Thursday off for Assention day, and Friday off because I work the weekend.  It rained both days.  We’re talking heavy downpours, thunder and lightening.   While I admit that it was the cause for great sleep from Wednesday night into Thursday morning, by Friday afternoon, both myself and the dog were very stir crazy.

Around 18:30 pm, suddenly the sun came out, turning everything a beautiful waterlogged green.  I grabbed the camera thinking to take some water droplet photographs and took the pup outside – only to find that the back of the building was dry and sunny – the front of the building was still in the middle of a downpour.  Moral of the story?

No Rain……

New Blog, Broken Links…

Well, here I am.  I’ve finally broken down and gotten a new website especially so I can try to get something set up to sell some of my artwork, photography and designs.  It’s been a long time coming, and I’m afraid that this is still a work in progress.  As a part of this, I’ve moved my blog off of the old My Space site and to my own personal site.

The problem?

As it imported, most of the photo links to my Flickr site appear to have broken.  They do, however still display (weird eh?).

So, I’ve tried to go through and update the actual links themselves to the flickr sets where available.  (Browse away – and remember – if you see something you like, check my store to purchase prints!)

Otherwise, if you hit some broken photo links from the old entries – I do apologize and hope to not have that problem going forward.

Pergamon Museum from 3/26/09

(Old MySpace Import, so not all links may work!)

Ahh I’m so behind.  I had a week off on holidays – and still have
pictures from my birthday trip to process.  However, due to a request
from the photo group – I’m trying to get the ones from the photo group
processed and up first.   So, thus the reason for multiple back-dated
blog posts on the same day.  (no, it’s not your eyes – I really did
enter these in May… but out of my diary from April.)

Let’s
start with Just after the birthday trip.  I got back home on March 18th
and started back to work.  The weekend after I got back, a friend of
mine, Tony was in town. No time off from life for me!  This always
results in alot of running around Berlin, dinners, and so on.  Anyhow,
as a team event, we went to the Pergamon Museum.  Most of the photos I
don’t like – but since he didn’t have a camera, I thought I’d take a
few just to try and show the size and scale of the place.

They’re up at on Flickr in My Pergamon Museum Set.

Just for the sheer size comparison, these are the ones I picked as “the
best”. Seriously – if you ever get to Berlin, this is one place you
just can’t miss because it is what it is – the rape of the treasures of
several countries, dismantled and rebuilt in a specially designed
museum.

Again,
Tony – in front of the Ishtar Gate (of Babylon. Yes, this was an entire

Temple of Pergamon

The Temple of Pergamon – (greek) yes, those are people on the steps,
and yes, again this was an entire dismantle and move into this
specially built museum building.
