Some houses at Spalding, I found the nearest semi-detached houses quite interesting. They share a roof but one neighbour has tiles, the other slates, etc. There's a good bricked-up gateway as well at the start of the row.

All these images were taken outside of bushes in the garden. I used a macro lens with slow shutter & movement to give a creative look to the image.

I composed this image as a response to my ongoing self-challenge: "Construct a creative image of a common household object." This photograph is of water running down a Rain Chain, and splashing on a hard surface. I cropped and then heightened some colour, and flipped the image, but otherwise didn't edit the photograph.
Originating from Japan, rain chains are artistic alternatives to traditional downspouts. They are essentially a series of decorative cups or shapes chained together, which guide rainwater from roof gutters down to the ground. When it rains, the water cascades down the chain to create a beautiful waterfall effect.
Rain chains are an environmentally conscious choice for rainwater management. By guiding rainwater directly into the ground, a barrel or a garden, they reduce the amount of water that ends up in storm drains, lessening the strain on local water treatment facilities. As an added bonus, rain chains are often made from recycled materials and contribute to a circular economy and reduced environmental impact.
I have created a Flickr Album entitled "At Home Creatives" where a selection of similarly-themed photographs will be found. I invite you to visit and I hope you enjoy.
In May 2012, I was guiding a group of, mostly, Taiwanese students along the Bassins à flot of Bordeaux. We were heading to the U-Boot-Bunker which was opened at night for the European museums night. As back in this time, the submarine pens were used as a cultural place where you could enjoy, for free, Art exhibitions. My friend Mr Jim who is now back in Taipei took that moment on his fancy camera. Najwa was passing over a fence and I was looking at my group wondering if I wasn't walking too fast or giving too many details about this area History.
Maybe, I recalled that in May 1943 this tidal basin was heavily bombed by the US Air Force. This bombing raid caused the destruction of a sluice-gate which conducted to the emptying of the 1st tidal basin.
This basin was used by the Italians as a base for their "sommergibili" called Betasom, while the tidal basin number 2 was controlled by the Germans whom were making built up a U-Bunker. On this port you had 2 submarine bases until September 1943 when Italy surrendered (at least a part of Italy). More infos: search my articles on your favourite browser.
As the water went down to the river really fast, it resulted the destruction of a dock. This dock (called a "quai" in French) was the one we were walking on; as it was rebuilt in 1947. Nonetheless, all the hangars that can be sighted on the archive picture's aren't nowadays all up. The old area of the tidal basins was in 2012 still free of big buildings... Edifices in concrete have arisen in these past years, replacing free space left by some of the disappeared hangars.
Now, I know why we weren't walking as fast as we wanted.

Just two weeks to Black Friday and I can't let go of Halloween. Each year we enter a strange time warp where end of summer cascades into New Years before the mind can fully absorb the intermediate waypoints. Makes me feel very reactionary and a bit unstable at times.This is one of Halloween decorations I fashioned from chicken wire and cheesecloth (accentuated this year with a 99 cent plastic mask). I set them on tall poles which makes them seem detached from earth and gives the visual effect of floating overhead. They are animated by wind and move about just as I imagine a real ghost might. The simple pleasures in life. Unfortunately Halloween deco loses its currency rather quickly after the 31st of October. Unlike Christmas decorations, you can get by only about one more week before neighbors start rolling their eyes. I thought about adding Santa Claus hats and garlands to keep them seasonal. But I think that would just cheapen the effect and fool no-one. So I moved the ghosts into the backyard over the weekend. It's sort of an intermediate phase before they go back into storage. They are just as (if not more) effective back by the woods. The trees add to the eeriness. And as I found the other day, amazing contrast sets up when the low afternoon sun of November finds them. The sun blazes in like a searchlight and the landscape goes on a steroidal level of high contrast. When that light hit the plastic mask, the photo was born. Another case where the whole far exceeds the sum of the parts.
