4 Sisters Take Their Photo Every Year For 36 Years. Back 1975, American photographer Nicholas Nixon once took a photo of his wife Bebe and her three sisters, and they came up with an idea to make it an annual tradition. Since then, the Brown sisters took a photo every year till 2010. To make the series more coherent, the four sisters – Heather, Mimi, Bebe, and Laurie – always posed in the same order.
The series resulted as a time lapse of 36 years. The youngest of the sisters, Mimi, was only 15 in the first photograph, and the oldest one – Bebe – was 61 in the last one. Back when Nixon started taking the portraits, the Brown sisters were 15 to 25 years old. Even though the portraits may not be stunning from the artistic point of view, but they do touch your heart. Seeing how seasons, fashion and haircuts change throughout the series, one thing remains the same, and it’s the strong family bond the the four women share.

You can, however, greatly minimize and even very nearly eliminate your fire's smoke signature, with some effort. One good way to do this is by using a Dakota fire hole. There are many variations on this method, but I'll demonstrate here the one I like best. You will need to dig a hole that is just over a foot deep, and no wider than that in diameter. If you can, put the air tunnel on the side of the pit from which the prevailing winds in the area come, as this will help to fan the fire.
For your fire, start with very dry wood, preferably long-dead branches, still attached to the tree, which have been protected from moisture by the boughs above them. All set up and ready to strike. The hole is approximately twelve inches in diameter, widened out around the bottom to accept larger pieces of wood. Looking in through air tunnel: Firehole and tunnel. Os antigos astrónomos de Timbuktu. Escondida no extremo meridional do Saara encontramos a lendária cidade de Timbuktu, guardiã de milhares de manuscritos científicos antigos que prometem mudar o modo como olhamos para a história da astronomia. Depois de sobreviverem durante séculos à destruição e pilhagem, o perigo está agora na ponta das metralhadoras Kalashnikov, seguradas por fundamentalistas religiosos. © Library of Congress... Fundada há quase 900 anos, por nómadas tuaregues, no Norte do actual Mali, Timbuktu acabou por se tornar num dos principais entrepostos comerciais para as caravanas que atravessavam o deserto do Saara, carregadas de ouro, sal, marfim e escravos.
Entretanto, e ao longo das rotas comerciais que percorriam, também viajaram eruditos, académicos e estudiosos, todos eles munidos de livros, manuscritos e muitas ideias. Não tardou que inúmeras bibliotecas prosperassem pela cidade, com homens dedicados ao intricado processo de copiar à mão os livros que os viajantes traziam. . © Library of Congress. Agape Satori.
