Bahia Caraquez – ECUADOR – S.A. HOW TO SLEEP IN CLASS. Step 1. Ask a friend that you sit near to wake you up if it becomes obvious that you are sleeping. Your friend can also subtly wake you up if the teacher is calling on you to answer a question. Step 2. Turn toward the teacher and lean back in your chair. If you don’t lean back you may fall forward or start bobbing in your seat while you sleep. Step 3. Prop your chin on your chest so it looks like you are listening to the lecture. This will also help keep you from snoring. Step 4. Cross your arms over your chest. Crossed arms will give the appearance that you are listening intently and help keep you from falling forward. Step 5. Close your eyes only part way. This is a skill that takes practice but is very useful; if you close your eyes completely your teacher will know you are sleeping. Step 6. Sleep lightly so you can wake up easily when class is over. Don’t sleep too deeply or you may start to drool or miss the bell at the end of class.

schools out by Bob Wickham

One lone desk in an otherwise empty classroom. The ghost town that is Humberstone, an abandoned nitrate mining town in the Atacama Desert, near Iquique in northern Chile. I’ve converted it to B&W in PS CS4 and on another layer in Overlay blending mode I’ve used a texture of the patterns that the sun makes on the sandy bed of a tannin stained creek. Canon 5D Mark II with EF 24-105 mm IS L Lens

Xanadu by Sri Parker

2008 pen on paper my little van gogh tribute, from the head, i was looking at a book of all his drawings, saw the thatch roofs, reminded me of my childhood. when i was a little kid, I lived in Belize. Huricane Kieth knocked down a palapa at the end of a dock at a resort called Xanadu on Ambergris Caye. For most of the summer it didn’t get repaired and my friends and I used it as a type of ultimate club house. you could crawl in through the hole and hang out inside, or you could climb on top and use the thing like a water slide.

Drying my wings by shellbee

Well this guy was in the Botanical Gardens in Curitiba Brasil. Anhinga is the name and drying my wings is my game. A bird of southern swamps, the Anhinga is known as the Water-Turkey for its swimming habits and broad tail, and also as the Snake-Bird for its habit of swimming with just its long head and neck sticking out of the water.

Abandoned by Alan Harman

Taken in 2005 in Rio Gallegos, Argentina. This town is a stopover for a lot of bus routes and is in a pretty poor state. It used to be a thriving harbour town and now it’s docks lie deserted and the remaining boats are moored to the harbour or deserted on land..
