January 21st, 2012 ...about 2am mst here in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories....the Aurora Borealis
OK! well this is my second day of the 365! got explored I was pretty stoked! Got to number 227!
So I was puzzling over what to do on New Years day and I thought of this same idea but with "Happy New Years" on it, but as you could tell it probably wouldn't fit xD,So Kelsey suggested I save the Idea for later and have it say Checkmate. If you have seen her picture here , then you know what she says is true, she helped me set up everything for this shot, and really boosted my creativity!
Used the 17-55mm with a lot of F stop :) enjoy~

Today´s Soundtrack: Seal - Prayer For The Dying
Da da, da da
Ah, ho-oo-oh-oo
Fearless people,
Careless needle.
Harsh words spoken,
And lives are broken.
Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.
Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
Just say die,
And that would be pessimistic.
In your mind,
We can walk across the water.
Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me.
Been crossin' that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
...learned...............
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
...burned burned...
I may not know what you're going through,
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
There is a light through that window
...light through that window...
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
...on on on...
Ohh!
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh...
I'm crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned....
I'm playing with fire,
And not getting burned....
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
There is a light through that window.
Hold on say yes, while people say no
'Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on...
It goes on....oh-ee-on,
It goes on.
Whoah.
Whoah.
Life carries on.
When nothing else matters.
When nothing else matters.
I just don't know what's got into me.
It's just a prayer for the dying.
...dying dying dying dying...
For the dying.
Boa Sexta & Bom Fim de Semana !!!
Here is my thirty second build for my new Iron builder Round against David Hensel (Legonardo Davidy)
The special part is that Queen's crown
Found this cool chess set at the art display during the Ventura County fair, wish I would of got the artists name but I was just snapping along in oblivion :-)
Shot for Macro Mondays "Toys/Games" theme.
This is the "Game" part of my submissions. Lone King, nowhere else to go.
Almost......
I have been told that this is no checkmate, but it is a move that will be. I googled it, so it must be so. Right??? ;-O
I hate chess BTW, very boring...
Tweet ME You know you want to.
Added since the original posting day:
I reloaded so I get more tweets ;-)
Working on some MELON shots today....may get one posted this evening.
I'm not a big chess player by any means, but I wanted an authentic scene for this shot, so I turned to Google. This is actually the last move in a match that became known as The Game of the Century, where a 13-year old beat a renowned chess master.
Tessa stood in for little Bobby Fischer.
