(For some reason, the Japanese were really into Baroque style during this period.) <br /><br />I think the Presidential Building was built around the turn of the century and the Hsin Chu Train Station a bit later, probably after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown (at 1911). <br /><br />Sidebar - A brief history of Taiwan:<br /><br />There are also bits and pieces of very old (by American standard) Dutch and Spanish structures left in Taiwan, as it was colonized by the Dutch and the Spaniards in the 1600’s. <br /><br />After the Dutch/Spanish rules, Taiwan was taken in by the Mainland Chinese, first the Ming and then the Qing Dynasty.<br /><br />Toward the end of the Qing Dynasty, it lost many wars against the rest of the world and Taiwan was ceded to Japan in 1895 after the Qing lost a war to Japan.<br /><br />The Chinese (Republic of China) regained control of Taiwan after the Japanese surrendered to USA and China (and the rest of the Allies) in 1945.Rudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130622689114030117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804847299449546325.post-58092769682409448632011-01-26T12:45:30.073-08:002011-01-26T12:45:30.073-08:00From Mick - Please Stand Close to Urinal

You will not have time to give love......................... <br /><br />"<br /><br />This is my own photo, I'm not criticizing skill, or content. I am making an observation on the effect the long exposure had on the image. I do not have a comparable long exposure on film, so I cannot determine if the effect was induced by the camera's electronics, or ambient lighting when I took the photo.<br /><br />The camera cost a chunk of change, but paid for itself in reduced processing fees, and the associated environmental impact of that. It has freed me up from going to freely go between 100ISO film speed to 1600ISO at the turn of a wheel, and I can bounce between B&W and color, so again, no complaints on the cameras performance.<br /><br />This was an audaciously long hand held (not even a fence of gate post to balance on) shot, so I can't even begin to complain.<br /><br />I am however an engineer by training, profession and inate nature, so I want to know how things work, to learn and grow.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434318898333768620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804847299449546325.post-13520346440676074272009-10-29T13:00:44.015-07:002009-10-29T13:00:44.015-07:00Again thanks to Bill and Rich for the identificati...Again thanks to Bill and Rich for the identification. <br /><br />A nice romantic name for a wild looking insect.<br /><br />Also known as a "cock-tail bug".Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434318898333768620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804847299449546325.post-77043195337202920672009-10-29T12:27:45.536-07:002009-10-29T12:27:45.536-07:00That is a Devil's Coach Horse beetle:

I love pictures that show so much, that you can see the personality of the animal like the first picture on this page. I don't believe that the camera-lense, or zoom, or even the camera makes a difference, just as long as you know WHEN to press the button. So many great pictures are lost because of late snaps or even wasting film on nonsense, but these are well done.Pelican Lightshttp://www.pelicanproductsonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804847299449546325.post-696284470379908842009-08-25T21:55:56.269-07:002009-08-25T21:55:56.269-07:00Glad you liked the tiger.
