365 project Day 029...

The Coca-Cola sign is located above the intersection of William Street and Darlinghurst Road and is attached to the Millennium, formerly the Kingsgate Hotel. The sign is often referred to as The Gateway to the Cross, because it is prominently visible from all of William Street, which is the principal road leading to Kings Cross from the Sydney CBD: also, one must pass directly in front of the sign when entering Kings Cross from either William Street or Darlinghurst Road, the two main access roads. The billboard is made up of two parts: on the right, the famous red and white neon sign, and on the left the more modern, flex-faced sign. In total the sign is 41 metres in length and 13 metres in height, with the right sign being slightly larger at 21 metres in length.

The red and white neon sign is made up of eighty-eight vertical bars of red tubing. It also has 800 fluorescent lamps that are concealed behind reflectors that allow the billboard to project thirteen different patterns. The left part of the billboard is a flex-face style sign and is internally illuminated by approximately 1,000 fluorescent lamps. On 18 April 2008 Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA, the Australian Coca-Cola licensee) purchased the iconic sign. The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) had leased the sign since it was built in 1976. CCA and TCCC agreed to maintain the then-existing leasing arrangements

Day 174... pattern

Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most.
Al Capp

Some days are harder than others, but I love my life and overall I enjoy the pattern that I have chosen

Day 169... my heart

When you smiled you had my undivided attention.
When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you.
When you cried you had my urge to hold you.
When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever.

I wear this heart most of the time, it was a special gift from my son and a constant reminder of his love...

Many years ago when my son was 9 or 10 I started giving him a weekly allowance, he saved part of his allowance each week and bought me this heart for Mother's Day...

Day 168...

Day 167... eclipse

Thy shadow, Earth, from Pole to Central Sea,

Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine

In even monochrome and curving line Of imperturbable serenity.

How shall I link such sun-cast symmetry

With the torn troubled form I know as thine,

That profile, placid as a brow divine,

With continents of moil and misery?

— Thomas Hardy, 'At a Lunar Eclipse'

This project has me doing things that I would never normally do... this morning when I got up, it was dark outside, it was cold outside... I was up over an hour earlier than I ever get up and the reason was to capture the Lunar Eclipse.

I managed to get some shots in between the clouds and I enjoyed the eclipse... I didn't enjoy the cold!

Day 163... Colour explosion

Man needs colour to live; it's just as necessary an element as fire and water.

A man's worth has its season, like fruit.

Last week was the first week that I set up a shot for the theme... I enjoyed the challenge and so I have decided to give it a go again this week.

Day 123... strength

A color is as strong as the impression it creates. (Ivan Albright)

Colour surrounds us everywhere and some create more of an impression than others, the colour of this flower on the cannas is one thing that really create an impression.

For a shot of the cannas check out my picture from the 11th of January

Day 108... vibrant

“Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Colour catches your eye, it is everywhere but some colours are more vibrant than others. The colours of this plant are definitely vibrant and very eye-catching
