Daily Post #51
I'm not really feeling into Flickr at the mo and have just realised I've abandoned the 365 Community Blurb book. I have posted over there for someone to volunteer to take over as I managed to get about 7 pages done. Apologies folks!
I'll still be posting in a sporadic manner and hopefully I'll get back to doing some more interesting photos!
I was tempted to brighten this, but decided against it. This is SOOC and exactly what it looked like this morning up the street from my home.
Better viewed on BLACK!
The Daily Shoot assignment for 2011/02/19:
Make a photograph of something that captures a small bit the flavor of where you live or your culture.
There are 17 photos tweeted to this assignment with the #ds461 hashtag.
Rhyl was initially a small port recorded as far as the 1500's, an probably dates back much further being a deep narrow estuary of the River Clwyd. The town achieved it's peak as an elegant Victorian seaside resort en route from Liverpool to Holyhead. After the Second Wold War there was a large influx of people from the big conurbations of Liverpool and Manchester, and the general decline of UK seaside resorts hit the town hard.
By the 1990's Rhyl suffered from all of the modern ills - high crime, high unemployment, low literacy and poor facilities; the part on the right of the picture has the dubious accolade of one of the poorest wards in Europe. Despite that, there are still gems to be found and relics of bygone eras.

Somehow when the grass is freshly cut and the garden is green it seems more like spring.

Strange, it seems most things don't seem to be as big as we remember them yet I don't recall seeing a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer quite this size...
Assignment52-492011 SOOC Straight Out of Camera
I wanted to edit out those power lines sooo bad! This was taken on my first morning in Phoenix on my annual Christmas shopping trip. (and visiting family & friends) Taken from my daughter's back yard. It was 32 degrees that morning!! So it was frozen fog!

Actually I didn't work very many hours today. But the time I did work, I really enjoyed my new office. Not finished but comfortable and I love it.
The new Caernarfon Station seen under construction on 14th May 2018 in Caernarfon on St Helen's Road.
We went down to have a look at the old Caernarfon Station on the Welsh Highland Railway.
Unfortunately on the day of our visit (14th May 2018) there was no trains running that day!
The new station is close to the car park that we parked in near Caernarfon Castle.
Caernarfon's train station is taking shape with new planned opening date. The new station is due to be finished sometime in summer 2018.
Didn't look quite finished when I saw it!
It replaces a temporary Caernarfon Station that opened in 1997.

I posted most my photos from this installation @ Fiesole already (lack of foresight on my part) but I found some more!
Lots of photos in the comments of this one:
For January's Monthly Scavenger Hunt, and also my daily post.
The ownership of that flower photo is a subject of some debate. When I took this shot I was down in sunny Cornwall with Sarah. I lent her my Leica to take a photo, only neither of us really remember what it was she took the photo of. She vaguely remembers taking a photo of some flowers, but I vaguely remember doing the same, and this is the only photo of flowers on the roll.
My original idea for this shot was a complete disaster due to a misunderstanding of optics and the mechanical construction of cameras. But hey, it's always fun to take film cameras apart!

Assignment52-122011 / Spring
This is a potted plant I purchased for St. Patrick's Day. It was loaded with buds I assumed would open in a day or so. It finally bloomed today. I had never seen an actual *green* carnation; only the ones from florists that are painted or airbrushed or whatever they do to them. I thought it was unique!
After the weekend panic of finishing MSH it's back to the archives for DailyPost.
This was taken at San Diego Zoo, which is a very good zoo. This is an animal. To be more specific, it's an animal with ears and a tail. Which is a bit stripy.
If you are an zoological expert I would actually like to know what species he/she is. Taking a photo of the big sign on the enclosure telling me what it was enclosing was obviously a bit too much for me a year or so ago.
It was another very busy day mostly focused on our renovation at Curfew House. Electricians started the re-wiring this morning!
I went back to Microsoft in Reading today and Richard's team's magazine was prominently displayed in the library window.
For January's Monthly Scavenger Hunt.
This is actually multiple upgrades in one photo, I can tell you're excited. This is my new sofa, and although it's not a huge thing it does allow considerably more lazing about in than my previous chair. Now I actually have room to watch TV with other humans. Or I might just use the other seat for the aforementioned lazing around.
The other (non-visible) upgrade is my Pocket Wizard flash triggers. They arrived, I was excited, the battery in the transmitter died after 10 minutes, I was sad. On Monday the new battery should arrive, so I will soldier on with one of the other three remote flash triggering systems I own (I am not an addict, I could give up buying flash triggers any time I liked).

Tis a fine afternoon here for me and I hope it is going quite well for you as well.
Day 21 was inspired after listening to a song by Ivan B called “Be Alright”. The piano from it makes me sway side to side and slowly my imagination runs with it.
I see a mother going from being pregnant, to seeing the first moments with a baby and glimpses of them growing up until they graduate and move out of the house.
Parents give so much of themselves to watch their child grow and be alright in the world and I feel like the song could be a reflection of the parent having to get used to the idea of letting the kid go and live their life. I imagine the kid and the parent aren’t on speaking terms; maybe because of a divorce. Kids will never know a parent’s sacrifice but they will respect it if you are accountable, supportive, and give your all when they need it.
What are you thankful for?

I went in to London to meet my colleague and friend Ed for lunch. Tonight Rich, Maddie and I picked apples and I combined them with blackberries we picked yesterday for a blackberry-apple crisp.
There I was thinking that penguins were a recent invention, but no, this paining by Henry Stacy Marks is dated 1880 - 1887. I think it's my favourite painting in the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
It's impossible not to like penguins.

Mom and Dad arrived from the States today bearing gifts from the American side of the family and we enjoyed showing them the house.
Daily Post #9

I'm quite impressed with myself that I remembered when I took a photo of a boat's wake (from onboard) and promptly located the photo. Maybe I don't need to bother tidying up my archives after all...

2. A track, course, or condition left behind something that has passed: The war left destruction and famine in its wake.
