This is my test block in my colors. I love how it turned out and can't wait to make everyone else's!
We arrived in Bangkok yesterday and this morning I wandered around the grounds of our hotel, taking a few shots. The building opposite (GE's Bangkok offices, I think) had these wonderful reflections in the window.
A couple of minutes after taking this I was confronted by security guards declaring that no photos were allowed... I walked around the block and tried to take some more pictures and - yes, you've guessed it - the same thing happened again.
From the My Thai - a cocktail of shots set.
"When all my days are ending
And I have no song to sing,
I think that I shall not be too old
To stare at everything;
As I stared once at a nursery door
Or a tall tree and a swing."____{G.K. Chesterton}
I recently had the good fortune to work alongside some talented "quick-draw" photographers from our local club, covering the entirety of our local annual July Exhibition and Stampede. So while they were quick on the pulse immaculately freezing the fast paced bucking rodeo events, I wandered casually to quieter pastures despite the sweltering Southern Alberta temperatures, and carnival workers wishing for only a cold bucket of ice.
How does your mind not veer to the wonderment of those yesteryears when all these glittering carnival attractions seemed intensely larger than life. The hanging stuffed animal prizes appeared unattainable. If for only a few hours, the cares of any world were on hold, until the last ticket to ride expired….and the caramel candy apples were sold out.

Saint-Nazaire, April 24, 2015.
We discovered this old, abandoned farm near here recently. Two men were standing in the driveway and we asked if we could take some pictures. With their OK, we started working our way back through the property. Back behind the empty house, and the falling down barn, we found this old 40's or 50's era Chevrolet dump truck.
The truck's back tires were sunk deep into the earth while the front end was blocked up to keep it from sinking away. I was looking into the sun when I took five exposures at varying exposures that later were blended into a HDR shot in NIK HDR Efex Pro 2. Then, I ran it through NIK Color Efex Pro 4 and got it the way I wanted it to look.
About HDR shots: I like them. I like the realistic ones and the ones that are over the top. I did push this one a bit towards over the top---but I like the way it pops. HDR is a great tool for getting the exposure correct under wide dynamic range situations---like this one.
I made this image with my Pentax K5 and Pentax 18-135 lens.

Block Arcade is a heritage shopping arcade in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria. The arcade is L-shaped, connecting Collins Street at the south end to Elizabeth Street on the west. The 'L' shape is converted into a 'T' through the junction on the north side with Block Place, a partly covered pedestrian laneway that leads to Little Collins Street, opening opposite the Royal Arcade.
The arcade which was built between 1891 and 1893 was designed by architect David C. Askew whose brief was to produce something similar to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan. The result was one of Melbourne's most richly decorated interior spaces, replete with mosaic tiled flooring, glass canopy, wrought iron and carved stone finishings.

The Campbell Block - also known as the Cline & L'Heureux Building - is one of many historic buildings in Athens that sees ongoing occupation and use. According to some sources, the second floor of this building housed a skating rink at one point; I can only imagine the sound that would create on the first floor.

My brother's tumbling blocks is coming along. We put out all the pieces onto my kitchen floor to figure out how many more he should make. He's just about half way with 165 of 375 blocks complete.
