The lettering on the med school dorm's west façade at 15th & Vine is the frontrunner among several possible nest sites the hawks have been exploring. They haven't committed yet, though.
Not todays out outfit I still have to decide what to wear today as I have a few things I need to do that involves going out,
Get a grocery delivery is still neigh on impossible unless you are on the at risk list, the click and collect gets you all the out of date stuff and so one has to stand in line for a few hours to get some essentials, not as though I can get essentials after all the charity shops are closed lol. Gotta have a laugh.
Just hope its not as windy as it was yesterday, that really cooled things down and played havoc with my dress.
Two for today because I just couldn't decide which to post.
Sorry to be repetitive, two of the same image and another from Iceland this week.
Captured with an Olympus e-M10, in late Oct. 2014 with the early evening sun hitting the mountain face and waterfall.
The color version is pretty straight forward simple brightness and contrast tweaking in Viveza in Photoshop to get a little more detail in the shadows and giving a little boost to the sky.
Lots of sliders in the black and white version. Took the Viveza copy into Alien Skin's Exposure and started mixing up the wet plate preset setting I created a few years back. Did this until I thought I got a good representation of the colors/textures contained in the original version. I missed a few here in there but over all I was pretty happy with the BW.
Have a great rest of your weekend if you are still in it and a great week ahead if you are not.
During last Fridays #OlympusUK / #Photojabber Oxford photowalk I snuck into the entrance to All Souls College to grab this shot. I can't decide if the bird adds to the shot or not.......

From Wikipedia : "All Souls College (official name: College of the souls of all the faithful departed) is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England.
Unique to All Souls, all of its members automatically become fellows (i.e. full members of the College's governing body). It has no undergraduate members, but each year recent graduate and postgraduate students at Oxford are eligible to apply for examination fellowships through a competitive examination (once described as "the hardest exam in the world") and, for the several shortlisted after the examinations, an interview.
All Souls is one of the wealthiest colleges in Oxford, with a financial endowment of £286.4 million (2014). However, since the college's principal source of revenue is its endowment, it only ranks 19th among Oxford colleges in total income. All Souls is a registered charity under English law.
The college is located on the north side of the High Street adjoining Radcliffe Square to the west. To the east is The Queen's College with Hertford College to the north. "

Comme une petite mer intérieure décidée, gardée pour soi, le temps de quelques ressacs, qui bercent l'âme et caressent les pierres volcaniques, pour, sur le temps infiniment, les modeler...
Ici, flotte un esprit FORT.
L'ombre de l'ancien Président (MITTERRAND) hante le lac.
Il l'aimait tant.
Fidèle, comme il l'était aussi en amour, il venait tous les ans en faire le tour avec ses intimes.
Cela se finissait en choux farci amoureusement préparé par l'ami du cru, partagé dans la maison du lac.
On ne peut s'empêcher de l'avoir à la mémoire, songeant que le grand homme, en dehors des choses de l'état, se transformait en une véritable personne sensible qui portait l"Auvergne dans son coeur.
Respect.
Doucement tombe le jour.
J'entend ce petit bruit de mini-vagues.
Quelque chose pénètre mon être profond à moi aussi...
J'en découvrirai la teneur plus tard.
Mais en attendant, j'ai tenu à vous faire ressentir un peu de ce profond sentiment, qui ressemble à un début de PAIX.

My squad and I had narrowly escaped the behemoth of droid by simply running from the B3. We were able to demobilize the droid with a combination of well timed teamwork and some extra boom. Wedging a thermal detonator inside it’s left leg we stopped it from chasing us and left it laying there in the corridor, immobilized but alive.
After that we decide to keep going deeper, in sesrch of our real objective, the trandoshan’s supposed leader, Sask. We were told he was a petty scientist, most likely hiding away in his lab.
“CRZZCH...crzzch...”
The static of blocked comms penetrated all our helmets. Stopping to adjust a sensor on my comms helmet I was able to get a clearer signal.
“Redwing and company, return to the— CRRZCH... come back up. We need support, droids have reinforc—CRRZCH. The scientist is gone, he was replaced, CRZZCH three jedi dead. Return at once—“
The static of the comms fizzled out and left us to our own devices, each clone turned to face me. Using their posture and probably expressions under those helmets to ask me what to do next. I didn’t know at that moment, we had to return, Jester’s orders. But 3 jedi dead? Someone had to pay for that.
“CT-9856 and CT-7723 you’re with me, the rest of you had back to command for a status report. Relay as much data as you can to me. I want to know what’s going on out there.”
“If you’re not going to command, what are you doing?” Titan asked me, with a hint of weariness in his voice.
“I’m going to find out what killed those jedi.”
“Yessir” Titan snapped back and signaled for his troops to follow him. Turning and leaving the small dark corridor they were in.
The two clones I had selected walk forward from the retreating group cautiously and somewhat weary of my presence. They were disturbed and frightened by my choice to use them to search these wretched halls.
Before Titan left the corridor, I could see him speaking to a clone that had just entered the far end, Captain Pharaoh took iff his helmet along with the rest of the clones in that area and looked in my direction.
“Pirunir sur’haaise, tal’galar vod.” Mando’a for ‘Make their eyes water, spill blood my brother.’ Titan and Pharaoh recited in unison. Placing their helmets back on and saluting myself and the two clones.
“Vode’ an brothers”
We turned in unison, heading towards both our undecided dooms. One of us most likely meeting ours sooner.
We solemnly trudged through the inner workings of labs, mechanical bays, a few mine shafts before finding a more active part of the facility. Lights were fully functioning as well as doors that didn’t need slicing. An aura of dread settled over me, this was the place.
As we stepped through a final set of blast doors we were greeted by a massive sprawling courtyard of sorts. Barren of the normal greens and bright colors in regal courtyards, replaced by the glow and hidden beauty of dark translucent fungi. Coating the walls and the floor in an iridescent blue glow. Accompanied by draping clothes and capes. Crisscrossing across the large room. The colors were reminiscent of a street market or a backwater main drag. It was genuinely beautiful.
But in all this beauty there was still violence and death, abominations and horrors. Clones and jedi alike strewn across the floor, surrounded by blood and refuse. These were the jedi Jester had spoke of, but it was more than three, at least a half dozen jedi lay motionless in the courtyard. Settled between rock and plant, coated in blood and death.
Across the grand room was a throne, that slowly swiveled to reveal a massive, disgusting mass of gears, metal and flesh. A horror of a creature, brandishing his large claws, sharpening them with a small blade, scraping away caked blood and guts.
“Mhmmm, more clonessss, kill them.” The large beast’s mouth opened to reveal a ling tongue and rows of teeth, the order barely caught my attention as I was focused on the visuals of the new threat.
Two guards awoke from behind us, shooting one of my troopers while the other had an unreadied blaster. Turning from the behemoth I threw one of my knifes directly into the lizard’s scaly neck. While the second guard was peppered in lazer bolts by the other clone.
As we turned back towards the larger, disfigured trandoshan, we readied our selves. Just in time for a spear to come flying towards us, impaling CT-7723 and sending him flying back into another pile of clone bodies.
The large half lizard half droid rose from his throne. I drew my vibronato and readied myself. Tossing my cumbersome helmet to the floor.
“For Tal’akaata, blood must be spilled.” I murmured.
The lizard seemed ready to lecture me, as if he hadn’t deterred me enough of his company. I charged towards the beast, lunging forward with my blade and slashing the fleshy, writhing muscles of it’s leg. The lizard easily brushed my aside and threw me against the side of the room. Crashing into a shelf of weapons.
A blaster rifle clattered to the floor before me, picking it up, I aimed between the lizards large yellow eyes. One fully white and glazed over, most likely a failed part of his transformation.
“Who are you!?” I yelled at the lizard, seeking to catch my breath and waste time.
“I am a sssscientist, an inventor, a thinker. I am the Republic’ssss worst enemy, it’sss downfall, it’sss doom! Call me sssSask, because now I’m an unstoppable force, with the body of demon, intellect of a god and the killer instinctssss of a trandoshan, I am your Republic’ssss worst enemy.” The creature’s single eye expanded, showing how crazed he was, licking and smacking his massive jaws together, preparing for either myself or his future rampage.
“You on the other hand clone, you are nothing. Worthlessss trash, thrown together by the Kaminoansss to collect a profit. They don’t care who wins this war, as long as you cost creditssss, they’re in businessSss.”
“You know nothing lizard! The jedi value us, without us there would be no one to protect the republic.”
“Oh you sSsilly clone, the jedi think the sssame. Using you as weaponssss, as toolsSs, who are you clone? If not another tool for the jedi?
My trigger squeezed tighter on the trigger and released a volley of shots toward the lizards head, but before they found skin, a metal plate greeted them instead. The plasma diffusing just as it had on the B3.
As the trandoshan came closer, I could do nothing but freeze. Frozen by the pure horror the being projected, scared to move, the lizard clutched my torso, lifting me into the air.
As he pressed his claws into my face, puncturing my scars, he screamed out in another tormenting volley of questions.
“You are nothing clone! Who are you? Who do you fight for for!?”
As his claws dug deeper into my face I grabbed one of my vibroknifes and stabbed it into the fleshy, writhing muscles of his exposed arm. Releasing the claws tension enough that I could fall to the ground. Backing up I found my vibrojato, picking up the blade I brandished it, wiping it through my kama.
“I fight for Democracy, for my brothers....
FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!”
The blade left my hand and flew towards the beast’s glazed, white eye. Lodging itself deep within that murky white, which was replaced by a deep dark red. The lizard buckled and his knees fell to the floor. Careening towards my lifeless body, it crushed me and sent the blade deeper into whatever brain was left in that beast. The noise and chaos settled in the courtyard, leaving only a pile, a clone and a mutated trandoshan in it’s wake.

Welcome to 'Roid Week. This is the first year I get to play along because I had been anti-pola. Oh yah, my chops will be busted but for the record it is a pola back (borrowed from Lauren) for the Hassy not a real all out Polaroid camera.
Oh, but it's addicting.
Deciding whether or not to plunge into life's maze.

Deciding to visit a friend, she drove up the driveway and spotted these gorgeous iris in a neighbor's yard. They stood out like beacons in a lighthouse. Being a bit cheeky, she rang the doorbell and asked permission to photograph these beautiful blooms. He took her through his garden and not having enough time to photograph all the beauty she saw there, he asked her back another day...she accepted.
If you have time please View LARGE On Black
Do you get days like this when you don't know what to wear? Well I can't go out in my petticoat so I better decide soon!

I couldn't decide between these two bee shots. These are from when I went up to Duluth. I had my first bridal shower today. It was fun. I'm not much for being the center of attention though. Thanks everyone for sticking with me through all this busy wedding stuff.

Deciding to explore Athens, I first came to this park that has the statue of Athena. The park had some really cool landscape designs and is very peaceful. I'm not sure what it was called, but it is not far from Mount Lycabettus. Mount Lycabettus was another place I visited and it is one of my favorite places. As you ascend to the top, you could see most of the city. Once you're on top, you really could see the entire city of Athens. I was also surprised that they have a church up top too with a few cafes and restaurants.
After finally deciding that I did want to do a Photography degree I had to make the decision to retake some of my A-levels. This was to improve my grade to ensure a better opportunity to get into university. Although I am not technically a student and I do not officially attend college I have coursework to do and an exam to sit next month. Today I found out that my coursework deadline is a lot shorter than I previously was aware of. Having found this out I have spent the day trying to get as much work as I can possibly get done. During this it meant I had to teach myself a new assignment and experiment with this. This was 'Digital Photograms'. The above image is the final piece from today's experiments. For my first attempt I am quite happy with it. Obviously there is MAJOR room for improvement and still a lot to learn with this.
I chose to use lemons for my image as I have been wanting to use them as a stimulus for while. Whilst chopping lemons at work to serve in customers drinks at work I have imagined various ways of capturing lemons as I find them delicate and quite beautiful. Therefore, I took this as a great opportunity for them to appear within my work.
Also very grateful that this photograph appeared in Explore. (8.05.2015)
I am engaged in 7 Days of Shooting "The Weekly Grocery Shop". The challenge is to depict how I go about the task of shopping, rather than just photographing things I bought. The first thing you want to do is decide what you need on your shopping trip, and then select your market accordingly. For “Black and White Wednesday” I am choosing to show you a shop I checked out a few days ago, and have eliminated as a future destination. It appears that cigarettes, beer and spirits are the mainstay here – none of which are on my shopping list.
My Face is My Canvas Week 16 Emulation Challenge.
My friend Ali came over today and we had a super shoot. I think we had about three diffrent sets. I told her I thought it would be cool to contribute a shot to this week's emulation. She was totally down with becoming tribal. :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I decided I love shooting with Ali, she is just so free with everything and willing to do anything and I think that is the best kind of model. It just like maybe you should do this, okay let's do it. It so easy to get a million good pictures when the model is diverse. And now because I got so many good shots. I need help deciding which to put in the emulation.
SO HELP! Pic the one you like the best!

La ville de Bordeaux décide, en avril 1857, de faire réaliser une fontaine pour la place des Quinconces. Elle lance un concours dont le lauréat est un jeune sculpteur de 23 ans, Frédéric Bartholdi, qui présente une œuvre inspirée du bassin d'Apollon à Versailles, réalisé par Tuby.
Cependant, le conseil municipal de Bordeaux ne donne pas suite à son projet. En 1886, après l'inauguration dans le port de New York de la Statue de la Liberté, le maire de Bordeaux reprend contact avec lui pour relancer l'ébauche réalisée près de trente ans plus tôt.
Bartholdi termine alors sa fontaine du Char triomphal de la Garonne, et la fait réaliser en 1888 par la société Gaget & Gauthier, qui a travaillé avec lui sur la Statue de la Liberté. La fontaine est présentée à l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1889, dans la galerie centrale appelée « galerie de trente mètres », du fait de sa largeur. Mais Bordeaux stoppe tout une seconde fois. Le prix est jugé trop cher. Par la suite, Bordeaux choisit un autre projet, qui ressemble beaucoup au projet de Bartholdi.
Le maire de Lyon, Antoine Gailleton, est séduit par l'œuvre et décide de l'acheter (le prix était fixé à 150 000 francs). Le conseil municipal de Lyon donne son accord en juillet 1890, mais pour un prix de 100 000 francs. Bartholdi est déçu par le prix, mais vient tout de même à Lyon en automne de la même année, il écarte les sites du cours Perrache, de la place de la République et du parc de la Tête d'or qui ne lui conviennent pas, puis accepte celui de la place des Terreaux. La fontaine y est installée face à l'hôtel de ville à la suite de la décision du conseil municipal de mars 1891, et son inauguration a lieu le 22 septembre 1892.
In April 1857, the city of Bordeaux decided to have a fountain built for the Place des Quinconces. She launches a competition whose winner is a young sculptor of 23 years, Frédéric Bartholdi, who presents a work inspired by the Apollo basin at Versailles, made by Tuby.
However, the city council of Bordeaux does not follow up his project. In 1886, after the inauguration of the Statue of Liberty in the New York harbor, the mayor of Bordeaux contacted him again to revive the draft made almost thirty years earlier.
Bartholdi then finishes his fountain Triumphal Char of the Garonne, and made it in 1888 by the company Gaget & Gauthier, who worked with him on the Statue of Liberty. The fountain is presented at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889, in the central gallery called "gallery of thirty meters", because of its width. But Bordeaux stops a second time. The price is considered too expensive. Subsequently, Bordeaux chose another project, which is very similar to the project of Bartholdi.
The mayor of Lyon, Antoine Gailleton, is seduced by the work and decides to buy it (the price was set at 150,000 francs). The city council of Lyon gives its agreement in July 1890, but for a price of 100,000 francs. Bartholdi is disappointed by the price, but still comes to Lyon in the autumn of the same year, he discards the Perrache courses, the Republic Square and the Tête d'Or Park which do not suit him, then accept the one from Place des Terreaux. The fountain is installed opposite the town hall following the decision of the municipal council of March 1891, and its inauguration took place on September 22, 1892.
