Another image to celebrate the anniversary of my "TumbleWorld" project, a technique and view that exploits or revels in an accidental distortion of the iPhone's panoramic camera function.
There are 103 images in my "TumbleWorld" album. 103 images that I've posted to Flickr, with an awful lot more on file, waiting to be finished or tossed in the trash.
There's a lot of improvisation to the pano-sabotage technique, relying a lot on camera angles and movements of the hand. Even if one tries to repeat a shot, it's never quite the same. You can get close but exact replication is well nigh impossible.
________________________________________________
"TumbleWorld", my pet name or personal branding of the technique and aesthetic, started out with architecture as its subject. Large complicated objects seemed to work very well in pano-sabotage, so I went at it with full gusto. To commemorate this anniversary, which really resulted in my reaching what could be called my "Mature Style", I've gone back to architecture.
________________________________________________
The title comes from an old John Wyndham short story of the same name. In it the protagonist begins to question if reality is just a construct of the mind. As he goes along, he becomes increasingly convinced that this is so. At the end he decides NOT to believe what he sees ...... with interesting results. Here I suggest the same kind of questioning, but not of reality itself, but our way of viewing it.
Living in the fastest growing city on the planet, with 60, 70 and 80+ storey condo towers filling in the landscape and devouring neighbourhoods like an architectural cancer and having deeply examined the work of 2-time Noble Prize nominee, Ervin Laszlo, who states clearly that the myth of unlimited, endless growth is a self-deluding dream that will reach its limits soon and collapse, I offer this image.
******* Number 3, in the series of 4 images ( Cycle One ) celebrating this anniversary. THE SERIES IS DEDICATED TO PAUL EWING, THE WIZARD OF AZ for being on this journey with me, every step of the way. *********

Located in County Tipperary, Ireland, the original building was a two storey house of pink brick built in the 1670. It was enlarged in the early 19th century it was enlarged and transformed into a Gothic castle, but was recorded as falling into decay as early as the 1870s. The castle and land were purchased in 1938 reputedly to prevent it from turning into ruin.
Thanks for your interest
The pub has been closed for longer than eight years. Next door (Bootle Indoor Market) was still open in 2015.
Another shot from the Roma Street Parklands of a Blue Banded Bee, an Australian native species. I have never seen one of these before and was thrilled when my friend pointed it out. I believe this is a male as the female of the species has 4 bands and the male has 5. It has such a beautiful eye.
Le Grand-Théâtre de Verviers est un théâtre à l'italienne de style Louis XIV situé sur le terrain dit du « Chic-Chac » à Verviers en Belgique qui est ouvert au public en 1892. Centre d’une activité lyrique et culturelle florissante pendant trois quarts de siècle, la programmation et la variété d’activité du théâtre ont décru jusqu’à finalement s’interrompre totalement en 2015.
L’architecte qui remportera l’appel à projets en 1888, Charles Thirion, conçoit un bâtiment de 1 620 m2 pouvant accueillir jusque 1300 spectateurs. Celui-ci sera - et c’est tout à fait exceptionnel à l’époque - un bâtiment entièrement électrifié.
Il s’agit d’un Théâtre à l’Italienne, comparable au théâtre de La Monnaie de Bruxelles.
La grande soirée d’inauguration aura lieu le 29 septembre 1892 et verra la participation d’Eugène Ysaÿe. Cette inauguration est également coordonnée par la Société Royale de Chant, chorale verviétoise.
Le spectacle est dirigé par Alfonse Voncken et l’on y jouera, notamment, des œuvres de Henri Vieuxtemps et Jules Massenet.
Le Grand-Théâtre a, vers la fin du XXe siècle, progressivement ouvert son activité aux autres disciplines du monde du spectacle.
Il est aujourd’hui fermé, le bâtiment n’étant plus en assez bon état pour être sécurisant, mais un projet de rénovation est en cours.
The Grand-Théâtre de Verviers is an Italian-style theater in Louis XIV style located on the so-called “Chic-Chac” land in Verviers, Belgium, which opened to the public in 1892. Center of a flourishing lyrical and cultural activity during Three quarters of a century, the programming and the variety of activities of the theater decreased until finally coming to a complete stop in 2015.
The architect who won the call for projects in 1888, Charles Thirion, designed a 1,620 m2 building that could accommodate up to 1,300 spectators. This will be - and this is quite exceptional at the time - a fully electrified building.
It is an Italian-style theater, comparable to the theater at La Monnaie in Brussels.
The grand opening night will take place on September 29, 1892 and will see the participation of Eugène Ysaÿe. This inauguration is also coordinated by the Société Royale de Chant, a choir from Verviers.
The show is directed by Alfonse Voncken and will include works by Henri Vieuxtemps and Jules Massenet.
Towards the end of the 20th century, the Grand-Théâtre gradually opened up its activity to other disciplines in the performing arts.
It is now closed as the building is no longer in good enough condition to be safe, but a renovation project is underway.

When my family and I stayed down in County Clare over the Easter weekend, we were in a cottage right beside the beach... My nephew and I took a wee drive across and watched the sunset, and it was just magical :)
I know we all get fantastic sunsets over fields and trees at home, but there's something glorious about it over the ocean :)
Wishing you all a very happy fence Friday :)
Hope you all have a lovely day and a great weekend, it seriously seems like no time since I was typing something similar last Friday, where on earth did this week go??
Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments on my wee pygmy goat yesterday :)

I'm certainly getting over the winter now. It's been a while since i've seen the sun. I ended up in waist high water from the Southern Ocean capturing this shot. The sun was setting behind the clouds there somewhere!
