I normally shoot pretty much every photo with a tripod. So it's quite a rare thing to go shoot something way out of my comfort zone.
This is a sample selection from Fat Cat Motocross in Doncaster where I shot senior and junior motocross riders. Surprisingly good fun and I may do it again!
(or Mardi Gras..) So, of course, we had to celebrate with the Swedish traditional Fettisdagsbullar (also called semlor) = Fat Tuesday rolls.
Baked sweet yeast rolls, hollowed them out and filled with almond paste and whipped cream, dusted with a bit of confectioners sugar. Yum. Great for an afternoon fika or as dessert after dinner. Or both. :-)

American rock and roll pianist and singer-songwriter Antoine 'Fats' Domino Jr. (1928-2017) was best known for his songs, 'Ain't That A Shame' and 'Blueberry Hill'. His million-selling debut single, 'The Fat Man', is credited by some as the first ever rock and roll record. His style was based on traditional rhythm and blues ensembles of bass, piano, electric guitar, drums, and saxophone. Domino released five gold (million-copy-selling) records before 1955, and had 35 Top 40 American hits. He was one of the most influential rock and roll performers of the 1950s and 1960s.
Antoine Dominique Domino Jr. was born in 1928 in New Orleans, USA, to a French Creole family. He was the youngest child of Antoine Caliste Domino and Marie-Donatille Gros. Domino's father played violin, but his brother-in-law, jazz guitarist and banjo player Harrison Verret, taught him to play piano and introduced him to the New Orleans music scene. By the age of 10, Domino was already performing as a singer and pianist. At the age of 14, Domino dropped out of high school, taking on odd jobs like factory work and ice-juggling to make ends meet. He was inspired by boogie-woogie pianists like Meade Lux Lewis and singers like Louis Jordan. In 1946, Domino started playing piano with bandleader Billy Diamond, who nicknamed Domino ‘Fats’ because of his big appetite. In 1947, he married Rosemary Hall, with whom he continued to live until she died in 2008. Domino soon made a name for himself, and by 1949, he was drawing a significant audience on his own, starting his own band at the Hideaway club, where Dave Bartholomew and Lew Chud heard him play. This led to his first recording contract with Imperial Records in 1949. His first single, 'The Fat Man', is cited by historians as the first rock and roll single and the first to sell more than 1 million copies. Domino continued to work with the song's co-writer, Dave Bartholomew, contributing his distinctive rolling piano style to Lloyd Price's 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy' (1952) and scoring a string of mainstream hits beginning with 'Ain't That a Shame' (1955). By 1955, five of his records had sold more than a million copies, being certified gold. His 1956 recording of ‘Blueberry Hill’, a 1940 song by Vincent Rose, Al Lewis and Larry Stock, reached no. 2 on the Billboard Juke Box charts for a fortnight and spent 11 weeks at no. 1 on the R&B charts. It was his largest hit, selling more than 5 million copies worldwide in 1956 and 1957. Between 1955 and 1960, he had eleven Top 10 US pop hits.
During the 1950s, Fats Domino performed in such films as Shake, Rattle & Rock! (Edward L. Cahn, 1956) with Mike Connors, The Girl Can't Help It (Frank Tashlin, 1956) with Jayne Mansfield, and The Big Beat (Will Cowan, 1958). Fats Domino was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6616 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California in 1960. Fats Domino's recording success began to wane in the mid-1960s. His last notable success was a cover version of the Beatles' 'Lady Madonna' in 1968, but he was in demand as a live performer until the 1990s. On 1 September 2005, when Hurricane Katrina was approaching New Orleans, he decided to remain at his home and was missing for days. He was later rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter. Fats Domino was married to Rosemary Hall from 1948 till her death in 2008. They had eight children. Fats Domino passed away in 2017, at the age of 89. He was interred at Providence Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Metairie, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Ely Cathedral, Ely, Cambridgeshire
Martin Heton, Bishop of Ely 1600-09. The Ely Diocese had not been in favour with the Elizabethan regime, but James I won his support, and on his death the King observed that fat men are wont to make lean sermons, his were not lean but larded with much good learning. South choir aisle.
Unlike many Anglican cathedrals, Ely does not feel like a showcase of the great and mighty. As Pevsner observes, Ely is not specially rich in monuments...most of the bishops after the Reformation were modestly commemorated, and few great secular personages chose to muscle in. This is no doubt because the merchants of Cambridge chose to be remembered in their local churches in the city rather than here, thirteen miles away in the Fens, and similarly the Great and Good of the University in their college chapels. Landowners too, of whom historically the Diocese had few, seem also to have preferred their parish church.
This monk is Tan Pra Maha Kajjana. He is an arahant (enlightened one). But he is not the Lord Buddha. He used to be so handsome that several monks mistook him as the Lord Buddha. When other monks saw him from afar, they would prepare themselves as if they were receiving the Lord Buddha.
Once a man saw Tan Pra Maha Kajjana and thought that if Tan Pra Maha Kajjana were a woman, the man would take Tan Pra Maha Kajjana as his wife. This evil thought to an enlightened monk is a grave sin; as a result the man immediately became a woman. He was ashamed and escaped to another town.
Tan Pra Maja Kajjana did not want to cause trouble to other people because of his good looks, nor did he want people to be attached to his outer appearance. Therefore, he changed himself to a fat, ugly looking monk.
