Further exploration of the occasional series of photos of water from down low. I've not really experimented with series of images shown as one too much since my first exhibition many moons ago, so I thought I'd have a go at this here. Comments on the effectiveness and anything else to do with it are welcome.

Throughout the years, some of you have been willing to support my adventures and since I wanted to offer extra content to show my appreciation for this support, I started my Patreon page at the end of last year. I'm already so grateful to everyone who has stopped by there.. some of you are from here on Flickr! 😊
In recent weeks, people have been asking me if I'd like to be gifted a Flickr Pro account, but I don't think a Pro account would be useful (I won't cross that 1000 photo limit for years). So, if you're thinking about that.. or otherwise want to support me, why not check out my Patreon page. ↕️
Here's a quick compilation video of some of the stuff I post there and later this week I'll post a photo collage.
After these two posts, normal posting will resume! 👍
I was thinking about the impossible task Julia had in writing & preparing the soon to be released "Portrait Revolution" book. Imagine, culling thru thousands of portraits by hundreds of artists, to choose images to best illustrate the interactive and collaborative community, not to mention the plethora of styles, that is JKPP!
Julia's done it & I can't wait to see the results!!
"Portrait Revolution:...." will be out in April 2017
(links to preorder in the 1st comment)
Here you have my compilation of just one portrait each from the 15 featured artists in the book.... Without looking at the list, can YOU identify each Artist and their Model(s)?
Yesterday afternoon, a wryneck appeared at Oare Marshes, Kent. It was feeding on ant heaps within sight of one of the footpaths. It was far enough away that it was at the limit of what could usefully be captured with my lens. However, here's a small compilation of shots. This is the second wryneck I've seen this year - which are the first two I've ever seen. These birds are so amazingly well camouflaged that they are almost impossible to spot. They are also rare migrants with only small numbers coming through one their way south. I've heard a suggestions that some of the easterly winds we've had recently have diverted them here from Scandinavia.
"Monobloc Moments" by Sara Bjarland (NL)
location: Roundabout at Manitobahelling
De Haan - Wenduine, Belgium
(Beaufort24)
The Beaufort Triennale is in its eighth edition. Beaufort24 presents 18 new works of art in the unique setting of the Belgian Coast.
Plastic Monobloc chairs are a global summer staple, often associated with vacations and leisure. Yet, they also serve as a symbol of our disposable society. In today’s world, plastic is nearly omnipresent, and the term itself has taken on a negative connotation – signifying something quick, effortless, and cheap, but far from sustainable, given our impulsive disposal habits. In Monobloc Moments, Sara Bjarland arranges these chairs in a chaotic and playful manner, creating a dynamic and organic appearance, as if the stack has been shaped by a sea breeze and is on the verge of falling over. By transforming the chairs into bronze, Bjarland imparts a timeless quality to this everyday object. Her choice deliberately heightens the contrast with plastic, elevating a mundane item to the status of a high-quality art object.

De Beaufort Triënnale is aan zijn achtste editie toe. Beaufort24 presenteert 18 nieuwe kunstwerken in het unieke kader van de Belgische Kust.
Plastic Monobloc-stoelen zijn over de hele wereld een zomerse klassieker en worden vaak geassocieerd met vakantie en vrije tijd. Anderzijds staan ze ook symbool voor onze wegwerpmaatschappij. Plastic is vandaag alomtegenwoordig en is haast een scheldwoord geworden: het is synoniem voor snel, makkelijk en goedkoop – allesbehalve duurzaam, want we gooien het net zo impulsief weg als we het aankopen. In het werk Monobloc Moments heeft Sara Bjarland deze stoelen gestapeld op een chaotische en speelse manier, om een levendige en organische aanblik te bieden, alsof de stapel door de zeebries is gevormd en op het punt staat om te vallen. Door de stoelen naar brons te vertalen, kiest Sara Bjarland ervoor om dit alledaagse voorwerp een eeuwig karakter te geven. Zo versterkt ze het contrast met plastic en verheft ze een banaal voorwerp tot een hoogwaardig kunstobject.

La Triennale Beaufort en est à sa huitième édition. Beaufort24 présente 18 nouvelles œuvres d'art dans le cadre unique de la Côte Belge.
Les chaises Monobloc en plastique sont dans le monde entier un classique de l'été et sont donc souvent associées aux vacances et aux loisirs. Mais elles symbolisent aussi notre société du tout-jetable. Le plastique est omniprésent aujourd'hui et est presque devenu un gros mot : il est synonyme de rapide, facile et bon marché - tout sauf durable, puisque nous le jetons aussi impulsivement que nous l'achetons. Dans l'œuvre Monobloc Moments, Sara Bjarland a empilé ces chaises de manière désordonnée et ludique, afin de leur donner un aspect vivant et organique, comme si la pile avait été façonnée par la brise marine et qu'elle était sur le point de s'écrouler. Par cette version en bronze, Sara Bjarland choisit de donner à cet objet quotidien un caractère éternel. Elle accentue ainsi le contraste avec le plastique et élève un objet banal au rang d'objet d'art de grande qualité.

Tuesday morning, my second full day at Keystone, I am sitting at the bar and Nora Simone appears, as her alter ego, and presents me with a copy of her latest book. It is a compilation of all the articles and interviews she has conducted for Trans Living Magazine and other publications.
My first impression is to admire the beautiful rendition of Nora's portrait that graces the cover! Wow! Then, I am amazed at how many articles she has written and how many people she has interviewed over a not so long period of time! As I am glancing through the pages, I am surprised and honored that she included my interview! Can you believe it? Cristy's story and images have now been published twice and it is all because of Nora! Needless to say that I am not the only person who has been touched, in one way or another, mostly many ways, by this Special Angel that has done so much for our community, by presenting a very positive and inspiring side of our stories for the rest of the world to see.
Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think that one day, I would have met so many people like me, resulting in so many meaningful and fulfilling friendships! This is why I keep on insisting about how relevant it is to attend conferences. Materializing a virtual friendship and making it stronger with each meeting in person is priceless!
Once again, personally and on behalf of all of us you have touched, thank you, Nora Simone!
This photos were taken by Nora with my phone.

Martes por la mañana, mi segundo día completo en Keystone, estoy sentada en el bar y aparece Nora Simone, en su alter ego, y me regala una copia de su publicación más reciente. Es una compilación de artículos y entrevistas que ella ha realizado para Trans Living Magazine y otras publicaciones.
Mi primera impresión es admirar la portada que contiene un retrato artístico de Nora.¡!Wow! Luego, me sorprende ver la cantidad de artículos que ha escrito y la gente que ha entrevistado en un período no tan largo de tiempo. ¡Mientras hojeo el libro, me siento sorprendida y honrada de que hay incluido mi entrevista! ¿Pueden creerlo? ¡La historia y fotos de Cristy ha sido publicada dos veces y ambas gracias a Nora! No necesito decirles que no soy la única persona que ha sido beneficiada, de una manera u otra, en realidad muchas maneras, por este ángel especial que ha hecho tanto por nuestra comunidad, al presentar el lado positivo e inspirador de nuestras historias, al resto del mundo.
¡Jamás imaginé, ni en sueños, que un día conocería an tanta gente como yo y la cantidad de amistades tan significativas que haría! Es por esto que siempre insisto en lo relevante que es asistir a convenciones. ¡El poder materializar una amistad virtual y hacerla más fuerte con cada encuentro personal, no tiene precio!
¡Nuevamente, en nombre propio y de todas a las que has beneficiado, gracias, Nora Simone!
Estas fotos las tomó Nora con mi teléfono.
This only my second compilation image was inspired by the Short Brothers statue, located near Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey. They were early aviation pioneers starting building aircraft here in 1909 before moving to nearby Rochester.
Besides the statue taken on Sheppey, the sky was taken in central London and reversed to match up with the light falling on the statue. The bi-plane was taken at the aircraft museum at Duxford and multiple copies made.

Today the Hereios of the We're Here group are visiting Glass and Objects. I'm assuming that the rocky specimens are local to the Stiperstones. The cabinet is in the Stiperstones Inn, which is the ideal base camp for an assault on the summit.
Not shown are the hand-drawn camera shirt and the SmugMug+Flickr acquisition announcement shirt. Apparently the 49er yodel shirt was donated at some point...
Today I have started to go through my Flickr and take down many images, therefore I have placed this small compilation of some of my work on the site as not to lose this handful for good. Please note, the images, being in a slideshow are only shown in lower resolution, enjoy.
Yours always
Cris ;-)
Wishing you the very best today & always, Marion!
Thanks for all your constant inspiration & being such a great model!
Many Marions for Julia Kay's Portrait Party
Instead of uploading multiple photos of the same subject I decided to use Flickr toys, and I kind of like it :)
Wishing you a superb Monday my friends :)

Hello, internet dwellers!
As the year is coming to a close, I have made a compilation of (most of) my MOCs of 2017. And there are many!
I can look back on a year of unprecedented success; with my builds bigger and more diverse than before, shown off at multiple conventions, and blogged by various websites.
Of course, I hope to amaze and inspire you even more in 2018! I wish you all a happy New Year!
P.s. I made a separate album for my minifig creations of 2017: flic.kr/s/aHsktR8E6N
A compilation of tanks using the chassis configuration I came up. The 3 tanks on the bottom row are new ones while the rest are past ones.
Apologies on the lack of uploads; I've reached a mini dark age after building these tanks :< Plus I've been working on other projects, specifically with 3D modeling.
Die Jalapeño [xalaˈpeɲo], deutsch auch Jalapena, ist eine kleine bis mittelgroße, scharfe Paprika, die nach der mexikanischen Stadt Xalapa (früher Jalapa) benannt ist. Sie ist eine Zuchtform der Art Capsicum annuum aus der Gattung Paprika
The jalapeño (/ˌhæləˈpiːnoʊ/ or /ˌhæləˈpeɪnjoʊ/, Spanish pronunciation: [xalaˈpeɲo] ( listen)) is a medium-sized chili pepper pod type cultivar of the species Capsicum annuum.[2] A mature jalapeño fruit is 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and hangs down with a round, firm, smooth flesh of 1–1.5 in (25–38 mm) wide. It is of mild to medium pungency, 1,000 and 20,000 Scoville units in general. It is commonly picked and consumed while still green, but occasionally it is allowed to fully ripen and turn crimson red; and other cultivar variations of the same pod type exist. It is wider and milder than the Serrano pepper.[3] The Chile Pepper Institute is known for developing colored variations.

A few of my photos compiled into one piece,... it's a great way to look back at your pictures and think of future ideas...
'Best seen large'
Belton House a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire.
The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period.
The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes.
For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace.
The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes.
Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public.
