Now this is the one thing that is quite wearable with few to no modifications. You can tell that they were quite proud of it. 100% cotton, too.
Actually a form of freshwater catfish. Difficult to photograph without flash because they're always moving.

Actually I have the coin backwards but according to a reference the heraldic side is the obverse? The denomination is 1 NAƒ - Netherlands Antillean guilder. The 500,000 coins were minted that year at the Denver Mint! The reverse? of the coin features Queen Wilhelmina.
Actually, I made a large mistake!
I wanted to put this inner fabric on the purple box! I noticed it after I finished this box...
Black and Yellow scarf: Can't actually remember. Possibly Topshop about 6 years ago.

Yes, at the moment this photo was taken I smelt like wet wool. Ah well! I love wool things and live in a rainy place - c'est la vie :)
Actually my first in the wild, no fence between us, photo of a Bull Moose. Taken a few days ago (August 2008) in the Rockies in northern Colorado. Because of the snow and my concern about being so close (50 feet, or less!) I did not get many good shots of the 5 moose we saw that day, the others we saw were two cows with calf's.
What an awesome experience!
I actually finished this last week and just forgot to upload it here. I'm really enjoying doing these specimen jars.
No birds were harmed in the making of this necklace. The "embryo" is sculpted from polymer clay and the "liquid" is a clear acrylic resin.
Actually shot @ 21:59:58 ;)
Sunset was at 10.02 p.m. (22.02). Taken at our beach in Nyhamnsläge, Sweden.
Directly as captured from the camera - no post editing at all (just a little crop and straightening of the horizon).
Actually outside the Monument on the drive in. Amazing saturated colors, especially in the heavy clouds.
Actually I wasn't sure, if I really should upload this, because I think it's a little bit dirty...
But in case of the project I don't mind at all, because the picture just has to show, where I go with "my shoes"...
That's why I thought I should add it to my project file;)...
Done:)
Actually I have never been inside. It's a bar on Montana Street.
I have two IDs on FlickR

And in my case, it was actually a Dr. Pepper... In a real, clink-as-it-rolls-down-the-rack bottle! No twist-off caps here (as another of Jeremy's students found out, wondering what was wrong... {chuckle})... Nope, that thar big ol' "OPENER" right beside the machine's door does the trick right nicely! LOL It's been many, maaany moons since I've seen one of these in everyday operation (they were far less than 75 cents, too...) but this one is still rolling them out and collecting bottle caps at the Glasgow, Kentucky Municipal Airport in Barren County (6-11-2011).
There are several temples in the area, so it's not uncommon to see Buddhist monks or nuns walking the streets of Chinatown. As you can see, they also enjoy a cup of coffee now and then! They walked past me after they'd cross the street, and I can tell you the old monk was a bit cantankerous. Maybe he should have had a cup of coffee too!
By the way, these are not really Shaolin monks. There is a Shaolin outlet in Queens, not sure if they have monks there. Based on the direction these monks were headed, my guess is that they might be from the Red Immortal temple on Bowery.
Actually we met this little rabbit on the trail around Mud Lake last May. Happy Easter Everyone!

Actually, it proved that there were two of these substantial caterpillars munching on our Wonga Wonga vine. They were some 80-90mm long and blended in remarkably well. They are from the Australian Privet Hawk Moth.
Actually, watching these planes land and take off for a few minutes, it seemed they were just practicing, taking off and then landing. Then, repeat.
Canal St in Chicago. Train actually passed on the right-most track, not the one they are about to cross. 2:35PM Milwaukee North Metra train to Fox Lake

We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.
With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.
We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.
We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.
We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.
Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw.
St Michael, Hunston, Suffolk
Two of the more remote churches in Suffolk are actually less than a mile apart, just to the east of Stowlangtoft. One serves the parish of Langham, and the other is this one, St Michael at Hunston. It hides in a gloomy dip behind a farm, and the only way to approach it is up a muddy track between the farm and a field.
The exterior aspect is interesting and not a little odd. For a start, this is basically a small Norman church, but it has a massive south transept. The effect is something like two separate churches which have got stuck together at right angles. The lancets and three-leaded light of the transept window look exciting, but they are all renewals, from the 19th century restoration. However, the top of a medieval priests door in the south chancel wall was also revealed at some point, and infilled with a Decorated window.
The overwhelming presence inside the church is of the Heigham family, who lived for generations at Hunston Hall. At their most imposing, they are here in the persons of Captain George Thomas Heigham of the Royal Irish Dragoon Guards and his son Major George Henry John Heigham of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Their Coade stone memorial, surmounted by sabres and regimental badges, notes that Heigham fils was killed at Lucknow, during the attempt by the British to impose authoritarian rule in the years immediately following the Indian Mutiny, and is buried in the graveyard there. His father went to a gentler sleep at Sproughton on the outskirts of Ipswich.
Most of the Heighams cluster up in the sanctuary, and here also is some of the excellent early 20th century glass in the church, the best of which is Heaton, Butler & Bayne's Blessed Virgin and Child. Beside it is their very good war memorial window depicting the angel of Victory, and captioned To the Glory of God and in Memory of the Hunston Men who fell in the War 1914-18 from the Heigham Family - a pleasing example of what was once a typical rural patronage.
There are plenty of medieval survivals, a couple of them rather unusual. The oldest is the head of a Saxon cross, found in the graveyard, and one of only about half a dozen in East Anglia. The most spectacular is the large, flat image niche in the transept with its extraordinary floriated border. If you look closely, the petals and leaves are not identical, but each is slightly different. Not far off is a most unusual corner piscina, set into the corner as if in reverse of the usual form. The font is also 13th Century, and there is no reason to think it did not come from this church originally. It is a plain drum, the simplicity of which suits this quiet place, and it has been reset on a Victorian colonnade. The bench ends in the chancel are probably 19th Century, though.
What appears to be a battered stone memorial on the south side of the nave is actually a charity board. It seems to have been reset in a window splay. There is a charmingly rendered transcription of it on a board opposite, and it remembers the will of Mrs Mary Page, who died in 1731. Her passion was education, and she left money to provide for a Mistress to teach three poor girls to read, knit, spin and sew and also for proper books to be purchased for the children not only whilst in school but chiefly to be given them when at the end of 3 years they shall leave the school.
I was delighted to discover that, as the gift was in the form of land, it has kept pace with inflation, and the terms of this noble bequest are still adhered to, albeit in a slightly different form. The Mary Page Charity still provides funds for school books and uniforms for the children of the Parish. No doubt successive PCCs have taken note of Mrs Page's final injunction: As ye Parishioners of Hunston hope for the Blessing of Almighty God to attend them and their succeeding generations, let them not dare to pervert ye Revenues of Lands thus bequeathed to any other purposes whatsoever.
Actually, it's a sign for a deli. I wish the people that owned the deli would replace the eye bulb and refurbish the neon on this sign. I guess I should just be happy that they haven't taken it down.
It actually says Beware of Dog & deliveries in rear however that typically means: "Keep Out". This is my letter K photo for the photograph of the week in this challenge group: www.flickr.com/groups/1091826@N21/pool/with/5925228788/
