Strange Offerings
Religion aside, I found this stand of offerings to the Virgin Mary rather interesting. Each little figurine represented an answered prayer or a miracle experienced by the worshiper. Taken on their own, each figurine represents a bad episode in a person's life that got resolved satisfactory. Only the guy who gave the item knows what it is all about. If you look closely, there is a couple of Jewish stars thrown in there. A good number feature a woman's chest. I guess it has to do with breast cancer. It is an affliction that many women are sadly familiar with....
Cute Candies
It has been quite a couple of days since I posted something new. I have not been well, but now I am feeling a little bit better. I think I caught a cold while on a mini vacation in Hollywood. Don't you hate it when that happens? It sort of makes me not want to take a vacation. I guess some things cannot be helped. I am not too peeved about it. It is fun using silly words that have been discontinued in regular vernacularism. I read a bunch of old books. This is part of the reason I picked...
Sunset over Miami Beach
This is quite the cute photo of the sunset. I took it from the car while going home. It took a bit of tweaking with the camera to make the photo work. Getting a photo from a moving vehicle, with low lite is a bit hard. Cameras work best with light. Taking night photos requires a tripod, and long overexposure. By messing with the amount of lights, I was able to take this photo. I focused mostly in the sky, this gives the buildings a nice dark feel to them. The sky was particularly red that day. Most good sunsets...
In a Candy Shop
I am a bit sorry I was not able to post anything yesterday. My family wanted to celebrate mother's day in Hollywood. The one in Florida, not the one in California. Anyhow, we went to a hotel there and we went swimming. The weather did not felt like cooperating, and I think I am developing a bit of a cold. At night, we played a bit Pokémon Go, before returning to the hotel around 1 PM. It was certainly quite the effort to find a restaurant there that was still serving food at 11 PM. I did not eat anything,...
New Year at Universal Studios Orlando
I was looking for a photo to post today and I ran into this one. I am always trying to keep it varied. At a certain point, I imagine people get tired of seeing different versions of the same place. Anyhow, this photo was taken in the Harry Potter section of Universal Orlando's theme park. It was new year and the place was as crowded as seen in this photo. I was not able to enter a single ride. Frankly, it seemed to me there were less rides. They were torn down to make room for all the Harry Potter...
