Tokyo - Rainbow Bridge


Tokyo - Rainbow Bridge, originally uploaded by GlobeTrotter 2000.

Bridges should be well-lighted!

There is something about movement and transporting from one place to another that just requires a well-lighted corridor...it is almost magical!

I know this picture has been photoshopped...but doesn't it say something about the way we wake up?

After a cup of java, everything comes into focus so much better!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year!!, originally uploaded by roos4sanne.

Is it cold or warm where you are as you wrap up the old year and prepare for the New Year?

Goals, expectations, preparations, resolutions...

Yep, time to think about what needs to change and what needs to stay the same...

CONSIDER THIS:

“Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love."
Reinhold Niebuhr, American theologian, 1892-1971

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 2010 is almost here.

ESSO TIGER


ESSO TIGER, originally uploaded by Robert Lz.

I just read this about one of the great logo/mascots...and its trademark catchphrase and it was created by another 'Emery Smith':

Esso Tiger - Orange jungle cat with black stripes who represented Esso Oil in the mid-1960s with his trademark catchphrase "Put a tiger in your tank" (created by Chicago copywriter Emery Smith at McCann-Erickson, 1964). The Esso Tiger, first used by Humble Oil, a division of Esso, was originally a friendly and lovable feline akin to A. A. Milne's "Tigger." Later in the campaign, however, the Esso tiger's amiable persona became more ferocious, and energetic to reflect the power and punch of their gasoline products. The success of the ad campaign prompted Time magazine to proclaim 1964 as "The Year of the Tiger along Madison Avenue." The Esso Tiger was retired in the late 1960s but resurrected in 1972 when Esso changed its name to Exxon. Their ad slogan stated "We're changing our name, but not our stripes!"
