Here is a model bus made of brass. I purchased it quite a while ago and gave it to a friend for a birthday present. Years later he passed away and it was returned to me as a keep-sake. The model now takes pride of place an the mantle piece. "Begins with B"... "Smile on Saturday"...
This is from my neighbor across the street.. There is another one there but I didn't get a good shot of it... So the season is starting even tho slowly...

My side-lit brass statue of a horse.
Manual focus, underexposed by 2 stops as the candlelight flicker seemed too bright.
Pleased with background glow the candle created on black card.
One of the roses across the street processed with the On-Line Processor App, BeFunky...I thought maybe this one was done for but the neighbor did some pruning and it might be making a comeback...

Posted for the starting photo for Photoshop Contest group contest week # 574. Thank you JO Design for the wonderful photo!!
After a successful concert and full house yesterday with my choir, it's time for pictures of the division 'music'.
I'm looking forward happily to our second concert this evening 17.00 in Düsseldorf.
Soul filled with music.

Brass bug
I wouldn't try swatting this bug...he may just swat back! Created from a brass flower
vase and surrounded with six windshield wiper arms this guy is impervious to any bug spray you've got out in the garage. His head is an old door bell button housing, cake decorator eyes, vintage typewriter antenna mated to a aluminum canning funnel. A cut-up electric fan blade and a pair of pot strainers provide his aerial attack.
Warning - If you see this guy buzzing your way - DUCK and COVER!

I'm into roses these days... :)
This variety is called "Brass Band" and I loved the color variation of orange, pink and yellow. No two flowers look the same.
This stone pier is known as the harbour arm and was built between 1812 and 1815. The lighthouse at the end of the pier was rebuilt in 1955. The Harbour Arm has a bar, cafés and galleries which are open daily during the summer months. At the end of the pier looking out to the Margate seafront is a brass sculpture of a shell lady named ‘Mrs Booth’.
Margate's first Lighthouse was built in 1828 to mark the town's newly built breakwater. The original lighthouse was a round Doric column, similar to the old west pier light at Whitby. It had a square gallery and cylindrical lantern, but this tower became a victim of the Great Storm of 1953. Strong seas pushed the old tower over, leaving it leaning at a precarious angle for several hours, prior to it collapsing, along with a large section at the end of the pier. The storm also destroyed the local pleasure pier.
In 1955, the current octagonal concrete tower was built, topped by a copper lantern housing a fixed red LED light. Unlike the original tower, this new structure was of a much simpler and less grand design. The new lighthouse, which has become one of Margate's most recognizable landmarks is accessible by walking the harbour arm, which is open to the public and free of charge.
Margate is a seaside town in Thanet, Kent, South East England, 15 miles (24.1 km) north-east of Canterbury, which includes Cliftonville, Garlinge, Palm Bay and Westbrook.
