Panorama

This is a beautiful photograph of a double rainbow, I like how the photographer took a panoramic shot instead of just a snapped shot because this way you can see the whole entire rainbow, but still be able to see the rainbow close up.  This image makes me want to stop typing why I like it and jump into the photo and follow the rainbow to the end.

I really liked this panoramic shot!  Every time I look at it, I find something else  that I didn't see the first time, there is so much going on.  I also like how the birds are on the ground and in the sky flying about, along with the birds I like the lines that travel through the photo(the lines on the building and ground).

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams father and Aunt tutored him, because he was not able to learn and be in the environment of a public school.
 Adams took lessons on piano, and later along playing piano became his profession until he switched to photography as full time.
1927 was when his first visualized photograph, monolith, the Face of Half Dome was created.
His first published photographs were showed in the club’s 1922 Bulletin.
When Adams was four the aftershock of an earthquake and fire had threw him to the ground, breaking his nose.
Adams believed there was a possibility of humankind living in harmony with it’s environment.
     This photograph by Ansel Adams looks very peaceful and calm, he really captured the beauty in nature.  I like how the sunlight brightens different dimensions of this photo.  When I glanced at this photograph I felt like I was right there with Adams on top of a hill looking out over a magnificent view.

Frederick Flockanugain

         Frederick Flockanugain, a middle aged fire hydrant, born to save lives and to hold the symbol of every dog's toilet.  
         He is currently living alone on the streets of Newberg, awaiting a disastrous fire, that he'll kindly and effortlessly help put out.  When fire hydrants are made they soon learn to fend for themselves and they become as any parent would want, an independent young hydrant.  Frederick, like most other hydrants, had been placed away from his family at a young age. His family is scattered among the state of Oregon, Frederick's mom and dad reside in Arlington and his frightened sister is hunkered down in an alley way of  north Portland.
         Frederick is presently another unemployed statistic until his time comes to help assist the fire department in the hopes of smothering an out of control fire.  To pass time he practices his wombat impersonation.  He can mew like a wombat, walk like a wombat, and even even eat like a wombat.  Frederick has surprisingly fooled many critters before, causing a rising fury in the wombat clan.  
         Each sundown, on the first day of every month Frederick turns into a legend.  A lost story that everyone believes is "just a myth."  But what no one understands is that Frederick keeps this "myth" alive.  He transforms into something people have been fretting about for legacies. Once the sun falls Frederick's knobs and metal body structure refine into a secret tale known throughout Oregon.  He is reformed into a water glass!  But now that you know the truth behind it...I'm going to have to *insert threat here*...Frederick wouldn't want you to know.
