One of the most haunting works of art in the garden is Heads from the North by Indonesian artist Dadang Christanto. His art comes from his experiences of social and political injustices when growing up in Indonesia. These 66 bronze heads floating on the pond are a memorial to victims of violence following an unsuccessful military coup in September 1965 and into 1966. Dadang Christanto’s father was one of many who disappeared when the artist was just eight years old. When the heads were installed here in 2004, Christanto created a performance to pay respect to his father and others who suffered in 1966.

I wanted to let everyone know that I am currently selling my K3 II, DA 1.4 converter and DA 300. After the announcement of the Nikon 500 PF, I’ve decided to transition. I thought I’d let everybody in here now in case anyone was looking for one of these items.
A bump for one of the slowest, 'least-fed' threads on FM!
K-1, Irix Blackstone 15 f/2.4 lens. A 6-shot panorama, with lots of correction (tripod not properly levelled).
This was my first time attending an astrophotography 3 hour workshop and abut my 4th time trying to shoot night skies.
Sarah is a young french Soprano whose grandparents are german. Eleven years ago, she told me she wanted to be an opera singer. I had heard some records but was never able to see her on a stage. Yesterday night, the outside event was a complete success.
She is gorgeous. Hope she has an international career. She sang two weeks ago at cousin's mariage in Germany and impressed the guests.
Thank you for looking.
