Route 297.
Linking Kidderminster with the ancient market town of Bridgnorth, the 297 service, operated under tender by Arriva Midlands, is largely rural in nature, with the villages of Arley and Alveley being the main villages served enroute. Here are a selection of shots of the route taken in the last 12 months.
The biggest village served by the 297 is Alveley. The village is quite hilly in places, as can be seen by the backdrop to Arriva Midlands MPD 2269, as it works its way towards Bridgnorth. After leaving this village, the bus sticks to the main A442 road that links Kidderminster with Bridgnorth, with end of lane bus stops provided for the small hamlets along the rest of the route.
Wish you all a nice and sunny weekend !
As of yet, I've had little time to occupy myself with flickr, but I should have more time for it from the end of the next week !
This concludes the 'heavy treated' series for now ! ;=)

Early evening settles over the Curran Theatre, where the Theater District briefly exhales and lets the architecture take the lead. The sky is pale and unresolved, flattening the roofline into a quiet backdrop while the lower façade deepens into cool blue-gray shadow. Three arched bays hold steady at street level, their lamps glowing just enough to suggest activity behind closed doors.
The building’s Beaux-Arts discipline reads clearly here: cream-colored stone framing warm brick, ornament deployed with restraint rather than excess. Medallions, carved faces, and evenly spaced windows reward close looking without demanding it. Above the canopy, repetition takes over—cornice, oculus, brick, stone—an architectural rhythm meant to reassure. Below it, the street stays deferential, allowing the theater to stand uninterrupted, composed, and complete.
The words “Comedy” and “Tragedy” inscribed into the canopy feel less theatrical than observational. In downtown San Francisco, those ideas have always lived side by side, sometimes within the same block, sometimes within the same evening. The Curran has hosted spectacle and intimacy in equal measure, but this photograph avoids performance. No crowds, no marquee glare—just the building at rest, between acts.
Scenes like this reveal a different San Francisco noir: not shadowy figures or flashing lights, but permanence holding its ground. The Curran waits patiently, confident in its proportions and its past, ready for the city to catch up when it’s ready to take a seat again.
I'd tried making a backdrop with this fancy gift wrap a few years ago, but the cardboard used then wasn't large enough to be practical. This version seems to be much better.

As darkness gradually descends, the embers of a dying sunset form a golden backdrop to the Carquinez Bridge and the Training Ship Golden Bear as they settle in for the night. Eric Dugan had found a program that allows one to determine where the sun will set in relation to various localities. Using that program on his smart phone, he determined that we could get some shots of the sun setting behind the Carquinez Bridge if we positioned ourselves along the Carquinez Strait just east of the town of Crockett. We drove out to the location and scrambled down a hillside as the sun was going down to capture this shot.
The San Francisco Bay Area certainly has a lot of beautiful sunsets. Perhaps that's why I enjoy photographing sunsets so much!

While surfing Amazon the other day, I saw this 'standing towel rack' and thought...hmmm....
This one works GREAT holding a variety of sizes of doll backdrops (up to 24"). Not only does this protect them from wrinkles, but it gives me a sleeker storage option and easy access to the backdrops when photographing dolls.

The Sacré-Coeur Church is located in the western part of the old town of Chicoutimi, in the Bassin district. In 1903, the parish of Sacré-Coeur was erected against the backdrop of the growing population of the city, and more particularly that of the Basin. It is entrusted to the Eudists, a religious congregation founded in France in 1643 and in exile in Quebec to flee anticlericalism. The latter also obtained the charge of the apostolic prefecture of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which became apostolic vicariate in 1905, and would keep it until 1945. As soon as it arrived, the congregation received land from the Compagnie de pulpe de Chicoutimi, founded in 1896, for the construction of a church and a presbytery. The design of the religious ensemble was entrusted to the architect René-Pamphile Lemay (1870-1915). This one draws the plans of a church preceded by a high staircase under which there is a sacristy accessible from the front, on the model in particular of the basilica of the Sacré-Coeur in Paris (1876). As the ground was unstable, the Eudists opted instead for a location on the Cran Chaud, part of which belonged to the Pulp Company. The latter cedes its property rights to the congregation in exchange for the land of the former Sacré-Coeur chapel (1892 and 1893). Lemay reviews the project on the basis of the new site and reduces its importance in order to reduce construction costs. The work, entrusted to the Lévis contractor Joseph Gosselin, began in 1903. The stone was extracted from a quarry specially opened for the occasion, at the corner of Bossé and Taché streets, with the exception of the gray stone of the facade. The shell was completed in 1905. The sacristy was temporarily housed in the choir pending its installation in a section already excavated under the steps. This project was abandoned in 1915 when the church square was fitted out with its Sacré-Coeur monument. The sacristy was erected against the apse in 1919 and 1920, according to the plans of Alfred Lamontagne (1883-1967). Built by Thomas Blanchette and Alphonse Pedneault, it includes on the ground floor a winter chapel with elaborate architectural decor. A parish hall intended to house the works of youth occupies the floor. In 1924, the sacristy was equipped with a high altar from the School of Sculpture of Saint-Romuald. In 1926, the Eudists requested the services of Lamontagne for the renewal of the structure of the church and its fireproofing as well as for the completion of the interior decoration. The works were carried out in 1928 and 1929. Side galleries and a second rear gallery were installed, and the woodwork as well as certain pieces of oak furniture were executed. The marble baptismal font comes from the Delwaide and Goffin workshops, while the plaster ornaments are made from models sculpted by Louis Sorbonne. Under the care of Father Joseph Nio, from 1935 to 1945, the church was the subject of numerous works. In 1938 and 1939, the existing choir partitions were replaced by wrought iron gates and housed the side altars. The church also has a Casavant et Frères organ. In 1954, stained glass windows from the E. Rault house were installed. In 1992, the heritage site of the Place de l'Eglise Sacré-Coeur, which includes the church, was established by the municipality. In 1996, the old high altar was dismantled. This year also marks the departure of the Eudists from the parish of the Sacré-Coeur. The Sacré-Coeur church was listed in 2001. Its presbytery was listed at the same time. These two monuments are included in the heritage site of the Sacré-Coeur, also classified in 2001. The heritage site of the place of the Sacré-Coeur church became a heritage site cited on the entry into force of the Law on cultural heritage in 2012.

My favorite facades of the bunch.
Built these last year as a white backdrop for photographing another MOC, and was hoping to keep them around for more shoots. But now I need the white parts, so I took a few photos before taking these apart.
For more photos, see the full set.
I took this on my firs nights visit to the River Adur , sadly there was not any cloud about unlike my visit the next night which was my previous up-load
The Karakorum mountains of northern Pakistan rise in a vertical backdrop, colored like wet cement. Getting there is more than half the adventure, after all, Karakorum is a Turkic term for "crumbling rock". Its is without any doubt that Karakorum Highway is the most brilliant achievement of mankind of the 20th century.
The fabled Kingdom of Hunza, long an oasis on this route, was not always so easily reached, nor so tranquil. Pilgrims, Silk Route traders and imperial invaders once had to balance on narrow foot trails etched into the valley walls. Marco Polo's take on this region in 1273. Even then, Baltit Fort towered over the town of Karimabad; seven centuries later, this 62-room palace-cum-fortress, old residence of the Mir of Hunza, still stands, framed by pinnacles of stone and snow.
The Karakorum range has been described as "where heaven and hell meet." Hunza & Nagar can seem like a place where the mountains have been karate-chopped by the Almighty and the resultant rift then embroidered by humans, with willow-clad slopes and emerald terraces. Sitting over the roof of the Baltit Fort, the beautiful sceneries keep on revealing themselves. One is mesmerized and lost in the history, form and greatness of these wonderful mountain range.
Presenting the hidden view of Diran Peak, Nagar Valley from the Roof of Baltit Fort. Karimabad, Central Hunza, Northern Areas of Pakistan.
A beautifully detailed snack shelf in 3 colors optional in the matching backdrop.

Another village with inspiring view. Dwarfed by Ama Dablam, the douple peak next to it. I'd like to say 'awe' again, but I have been using this word way too much lately to describe the Khimbulandscapes!
excuse the crappy white balance...just showing a friend the backdrop. We painted the backdrop and are trying to figure out what needs adjusted.

An idea from traditional model railroading to turn a yard into a location that feels real. More to follow soon.
Backdrops are an essential part of most photography, videography and even film making. For the studio photographer using the right backdrops to accentuate the costuming of your subject is critical. Having a wide variety of colors, patterns, and textures is paramount for any well equipped facility.
Backdrops come in a variety of textile materials, either Solid Color, Patterns, or Scenic designs.
There are a couple of things to look out for when buying a backdrop. A good quality backdrop should incorporate a sewn-in rod-loop along one edge so that the crossbar can be inserted, this is the ultimate mounting method. They should also have a sewed finish on all 4 sides, drastically minimizing the possibility of a snag or deterioration of the screen. A good example for these kind of backdrops, like the one used in the photo above can be found at Eos Lighting LLC
