Smoke is such a mysterious subject to shoot. It’s really unknown as to what your going to get until you start shooting and later look at what you’ve captured. The smoke can create the most interesting shapes and take on familiar forms. Below are great examples of this process. What forms can you see the smoke assume?

In December 1844, it was founded on the initiative of José Bernardo da Costa Cabral, the Company of Public Works, one of the main objectives the construction of a railway between Lisbon and Spain, and a railway and maritime interface in the Portuguese capital ; this season, it would be called Pier of America or Pier of Europe, allow passengers by train from all over Europe direct transfer onto cruise ships bound for América.
The original plan to build this interface defended its installation in Memorial Pier; however, in December 1852, the Thomas Rumball engineer proposed two alternatives, with the casting of Lisbon, or near the Largo do Intendente. Another engineer, Harcourt White also rejected, in January 1853, the option of the soldiers Pier, stating that there was, in that place, enough space to build the station; instead, he suggested that it was located next to the river, after the Church of the Angels in Xabregas where, at that time, there was very clear. An executive committee was appointed to plan the construction of the Lisbon station, which proposed the installation of this building in the area of Obidos Conde Rock, with capacity for passengers and freight; one of the lines continue to the nearby customs of Lisbon, in the Palace Square, where it would be built another estação. The construction of the rail link to Spain started up this year, in order of Fontes Pereira de Melo,
The final draft for building the Memorial Pier was approved by the Government on March 8, 1854; this plan had different railway stations for passengers and goods, workshops for repair, stables to house the rolling stock, and several service roads. For the passenger building, it had already been obtained in 1852 the former Convent of Santa Apolónia but it would be necessary to demolish Arsenal Army, which at the time there was. It began, of course, the construction of a rail link and a marginal wharf for goods to the Customs Lisbon and, for this, need to gain ground on the Rio Tejo.
However, when it opened the first section of the Eastern Railway Track, between Carregado and Lisbon on 28 September 1856, it had not yet started the construction of this station, and the terminal was installed in a provisional building next to the Palace of Coimbra.
The project was carried out by Angel Arribas Ugarte, and the work was conducted by engineer-director, João Evangelista de Abreu, and the chief engineer, Lecrenier. The building was carries out by Oppermann construction company. The station was opened on 1 May 1865. In 1873, enters the service the first line of American cars in Lisbon, connecting the Santa Apolonia station to Santos.
Hosted between 1967 and 1989, the international service TER Lisbon Express, which made the connection between the Portuguese capital and Madrid.
In December 2007, the station was connected to the network of the Lisbon Metro (Blue Line).
The Mayor of Lisbon, Antonio Costa, defended in 2008, the station was to close the railway business and move to serve the cruise terminal.
The Councilman of Urbanism from the Chamber of Lisbon, Manuel Salgado, defended, 'a vision of the future', the closure of the Santa Apolonia train station to make way for a green space that links the Tagus river.
Are you mad Manuel Salgado?

A baby with one year old went blind after being operated at a tumor in the left eye. The medical team, however, and mistakenly operated on him the wrong eye. The incident took place in Mexico, in a medical facility in Obregon. The child, Jonathan Valdez Fernando Ayala, had a malignant tumor in her left eye and could not see.
The child underwent chemotherapy, but the doctor, Armando Cisneros, considered that this was not having any effect and decided that the eye had to be removed. However, a mistake led that the child ran out of the right eye, going blind.
The child's parents are suing the medical staff for negligence and want to be compensated.
The doctor however defended himself saying that withdrew the right eye because he also detected a tumor. Parents do not believe in this theory, since in this case, should have been both eyes removed, something that did not happen.
The Mirror reports that are being made analyzes to ascertain the veracity of such information.
The case has already been reported to the police and an internal investigation is now being carried out.

The children in Greece are right to be pissed and justified say "no" to shouldering the debt their parents and grandparents created. But that doesn't make the debt go away. Loans must be paid.
Not according to American law. Just file for bankruptcy and make most of your debt go away with almost no ramification... Sucks that so many people think it's that easy.
Yeah, bankruptcy works for people. But for not nations, or states, and the people that fund them. Independent nations can just print more money, at the cost of currency devaluation. EU members cannot. Just like California cannot print its way out of our debt. Just like Greece. So we (and other states like Illinois and NY) will have to rely on the responsible states to bail us out of our State level debt. Just like Greece.Quote:

The United States recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 101.53 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2013. Government Debt to GDP in the United States averaged 60.81 percent from 1940 until 2013, reaching an all time high of 121.70 percent in 1946 and a record low of 31.70 percent in 1974. Government Debt to GDP in the United States is reported by the U.S. Bureau of Public Debt.
The problem with Greece is the origin of the debt. Capitalism is by definition of risk on the loans between the 2 parts, when banks loan money to someone that cant pay don't receive it back. Well that was the problem because the money from Troika was to pay the banks (mostly in Germany and France) and not to Greece. Loans must be paid but when private banks loan money to someone that can never pay, it is their risk, according to capitalism laws.
They socialize the losses and privatized the gains of the banks, no money went to Greece on all this process, anyway this is a most complex issue that is in discussion for very long. If we cant take politics out of economy, it is time to look for a new economics theory because what happens now is not fair and for sure DEMOCRACY is more important than econmy.
