Thanks for looking The Legend / _The Aboriginal dream-time legend has it that three sisters, ‘Meehni’, ‘Wimlah’ and Gunnedoo’ lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. These beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle. As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come._

Eastern State Penitentiary | Cell block Seven | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania / Nikon D70s | f2.8 | 1/50 sec. Placed in the top 10 in the Mood & Ambiance group competition, “Eerie.“ Opened in 1829 as part of a controversial movement to change the behavior of inmates through “confinement in solitude with labor,” Eastern State Penitentiary quickly became one of the most expensive and most copied buildings in the young United States. Some of America’s most notorious criminals were held in the Penitentiary’s vaulted, sky-lit cells. After 142 years of consecutive use, Eastern State Penitentiary was completely abandoned in 1971, and now stands, a lost world of crumbling cell blocks and empty guard towers. It is said that Eastern State is one of the most haunted places in the country.
Echoes1 / Echoes2 / Echoes3 / Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air / And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves / The echo of a distant tide / Comes willowing across the sand / And everything is green and submarine / And no one showed us to the land / And no one knows the wheres or whys / But something stirs and / Something tries / And starts to climb towards the light / Strangers passing in the street / By chance two separate glances meet / And I am you and what I see is me / And do I take you by the hand / And lead you through the land / And help me understand the best I can / And no one calls us to move on / And no one forces down our eyes / And no one speaks / And no one tries / And no one flies around the sun / Cloudless every day you fall / Upon my waking eyes / Inviting and inciting me to rise / And through the window in the wall / Comes streamin in on sunlight wings / A million bright ambassadors of morning / And no one sings me lullabies / And no one makes me close my eyes / So I throw the windows wide / And call to you across the sky Copyright pink floyd

Echo by Dave Hampton Upper Silver Lake – American Fork Canyon, Utah In the background you can see the top of Mt. Timpanogas elevation around 12,000. It took me a couple hours to hike up to this quiet little lake. I have never seen another person up there before. On this night I was about ready to leave before I ran out of daylight when the evening sunset started to light up all the clouds. I couldn’t beileve how calm the water was. The trees are an almost perfect echo of each other. It is moments like these that you know your alive. FEATURED IN: Snow! Glorious Snow!!

Best Viewed Large Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion .. about an hour’s drive from Athens, Greece. “The temple of Poseidon was constructed in approx. 440 B.C. It is perched above the sea at a height of almost 60 m. The design of the temple is a typical hexastyle i.e. it had a front portico with 6 columns. / As with all Greek temples, the Poseidon building was rectangular, with a colonnade on all four sides. The total number of original columns was 42: 18 columns still stand today. The columns are of the Doric Order. They were made of locally-quarried white marble. They were 6.10 m (20 ft) high, with a diameter of 1 m (3.1 ft) at the base and 79cm (31 inches) at the top. / At the centre of the temple colonnade would have been the hall of worship (naos), a windowless rectangular room. It would have contained, at one end facing the entrance, the cult image, a colossal, ceiling – height (6m) bronze statue of Poseidon. Probably gold-leafed, it may have resembled a contemporary representation of the god, appropriately found in a shipwreck, shown in the figure above. Poseidon was usually portrayed carrying a trident, the weapon he supposedly used to stir up storms.” ... the above abridged from Wikipedia. I took this image with my little Olympus C5000 zoom in August of 2005. A bit of Photoshop work has taken place … cloning out tourists, adding a new sky and a texture layer among others.
