passage by Nicole Ryan I saw you run past the end of my bed / pretending to be a dark shadow / last night / yes i saw you / between the heavy lids / of my eyes / you fly / in and out / through time and space / and i know that you know / that i know / what it takes you come around here / with trails of the past / the electric light / buzzing around you / making you / enveloping you enlightening me you’re the shape that you always were / only prettier / and you set me alive / reminding me that you’re beside me / still you don’t surprise me / i’ve been waiting for you / and wondering / what took you so long. © ryan

A homage to the wonderfully strange comics of the 50s and 60s. The skyline used is actually Vancouver from the 1940s.

The Flat Earth Society / “The facts are simple,” says Charles K. Johnson, president of the International Flat Earth Research Society. “The earth is flat.” He believes that the main purpose of the space program is to prop up a dying myth—the myth that the earth is a globe. “Nobody knows anything about the true shape of the world,” he contends. The sun and moon, in the Johnson version, are only about 32 miles in diameter. They circle above the earth in the vicinity of the equator, and their apparent rising and setting are tricks of perspective, like railroad tracks that appear to meet in the distance. The moon shines by its own light and is not eclipsed by the earth. Rather, lunar eclipses are caused by an unseen dark body occasionally passing in front of the moon. Johnson’s beliefs are firmly grounded in the Bible.

Mighty Mac
by dzf1z1The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the non-contiguous Upper and Lower peninsulas of the U.S. state of Michigan. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge (familiarly known as “Big Mac” and “Mighty Mac”) connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south. It is the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The bridge opened on November 1, 1957, ending decades of the two peninsulas being solely linked by ferries. A year later, the bridge was formally dedicated as “the world’s longest suspension bridge between anchorages”. This designation was chosen because the bridge would not be the world’s largest using another way of measuring suspension bridges, the length of the center span between the towers; at the time that title belonged to the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a longer center span. By saying “between anchorages”, the bridge could be considered longer than the Golden Gate Bridge and also longer than the suspended western section of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. (That bridge has a longer total suspension but is a double bridge with an anchorage in the middle.) At 8,614 feet (2,626 m), the Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere The bridge is not pronounce like it is spelled. To pronounce it like a yupper, try it this way: Macinaw. By the way, a yupper is a person from the upper peninsulas. This is a night shot. As you can tell, the lights that run up to the top of the two towers are out. That is because they shut the lights off to save the state money after 2 AM. I was passing through around 4 AM on this trip. It was very dark with the storm clouds all around. I left the shutter open for 10 to 30 seconds at F/13 to capture this shot. I said 10 to 30 due to the fact it is a HDR merged photo using Photomatixs. I must have taken about 30 shots before I was able to hold the camera on the tripod still enough with 30 MPH winds. Gusts around 40. Got this series of shots to create this one photo though. I did receive a question on what I applied to the picture to get it so blue. It is so blue due to the fact that when I took the picture I set the white balance to Tungsten (light bulb) which shifts white to blue and since the lights on the bridge were Tungsten light bulbs, it kept the bridge properly light balanced. The picture was taken in raw, so I could shift it back. But I like it this way better.

On July 21, 2009 this image was featured in the ImageWriting group. On April 22, 2009 this image won the California Challenge in the American Southwest Group. On April 1, 2009 this image won the Black & White Challenge in the Retired & Happy group. This image placed third in the Best Treatment challenge in December ‘08. The Golden Gate Bridge was barely visible in this dense morning fog. From a cliff overlooking the bay, the pillar was visible as well as a misty outline of the San Francisco skyline. Built in 1933, the bridge was completed 5 years later in 1937. It is a part of US Highway 101 and State Route 1, and is the only road to exit San Francisco to the north. A bit of trivia: The suspension bridge is 8,981 feet in length and is 200+ feet above the water. It has a total of approximately 1.2 million rivets holding it together.

/ The National Road: West Virginia / Wheeling Suspension Bridge / Wheeling and the National Road is home to one of the greatest engineering achievements in American History. The nearly 170 year old Wheeling Suspension Bridge is the oldest operating suspension bridge in the world. The bridge was the first to span a main channel of the Ohio River (1). In 1836, a two span covered bridge opened over the back channel of the Ohio in Wheeling. This bridge crossed at the site of an 1893 truss and modern day bridge that carries Route 40 over the back channel to this day! (2) The story of the bridge was amplified by a bidding and design war between two prominent suspension bridge designers, Charles Ellet, Jr. and John Roebling. The two rivals would compete for the commission until Ellet’s design won out in 1847. The 1,010 foot bridge took two years to complete. It opened on October 20, 1849, although the official grand opening would take place on November 15. The bridge was immediately put into service as a toll bridge. The Terrific Storm On May 17, 1854, a violent gale destroyed most of the bridge with much of the span crashing into the Ohio. One account of the collapse read: “For a few moments we watched it with breathless anxiety, lunging like a ship in the storm; at one time it rose to nearly the heighth of the towers then fell, and twisted and writhed, and was dashed almost bottom upward. At last there seemed to be a determined twist along the entire span, about one half of the flooring being nearly reversed, and down went the immense structure from its dizzy heighth to the stream below, with an appalling crash and roar. Nearly the entire structure struck the water at the same instant dashing up an unbroken column of foam across the river, to the heighth of at least forty feet! ” (3) Many have compared the 1854 collapsed to that of the famed 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The collapse ended Ellet’s turbulent career as a bridge designer and builder. To repair the span, Roebling, who had since gained national acclaim for his railroad bridge over the Niagara River, was commissioned to rebuild the bridge at a cost of $42,000 (4). / To preserve the structure and keep it usable, the bridge would have major repairs done in 1956, 1982, and 1999. It has received numerous awards and honors including: National Historic Engineering Landmark; 1969 National Historic Landmark; 1975 National Register of Historic Places; 1980 / credits Gribblenation.com / Nikon D200×18-200 Nikkor lens / 3 shots HDR processed in Photomatix and then enhanced ps
