Moses Bridge in the Netherlands
Footprint recently received news of this bridge in North-Brabant, The Netherlands. Built on a Dutch defensive line dating from the seventeenth century, the bridge crosses the moat of the Fort de Roovere. Designed by Dutch architects Ro&Ad, it is intended not to obscure the views of the area.
The bridge is constructed from Accoya wood sheet piling to either side, with a hardwood deck and stairs between. Accoya was chosen for its durability and also its performance under ground and in water.

cool gears
these are the coolest headphones ever!
I would hope they sound as good as they look. They remind me of Chanel handbags. Not sure exactly what's going on with the design of Twine, but I don't care. The Pleat look really comfortable. Definitely want my head inside.
These headphones are so beautiful.

Black and White Portraits
Series in Process.
I've been working on this series of portraits for over a year. There are 9 total. I want to finish these once and for all before the winter. I am working on a completely different series that is different in style and subject matter. It's interesting jumping from from style to style. I have never done that before. It's an experience I'm learning a lot from. - Kiki Valdes

White House coming clean about UFO Conspiracy?
Will Obama Come Out About the UFO's?
It's not every day that Team Obama talks about E.T. But in a recent post on the official White House website, a high-ranking official in the president's Office of Science & Technology Policy took the time to respond to a burning question from UFO conspiracy theorists. Here's what happened:
How did the White House wind up talking about UFOs?
The White House has a petition site called "We the People" that allows users to pose questions. If a petition gets enough signatures, it is reviewed by the White House staff and receives an official response. And two petitions, signed by a total of more than 17,000 people, demanded that the government come clean if it was hiding knowledge of extraterrestrial life. The petitioners wrote: "The people have a right to know. The people can handle the truth."
What did the White House say?
"Thank you for signing the petition and asking the Obama administration to acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth," the White House's Phil Larson cordially replied. "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race." And, perhaps to the dismay of conspiracy theorists, Larson stated flatly: "In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."
More than 17,000 Americans demand that Team Obama tell the nation exactly what it knows about aliens — and the administration obliges
