murray looks so innocent but then I noticed the mouse... A quick dash for tupperware and I saved it.
The false stack from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Presidential Yacht USS Potomac. The stack contained an elevator with ropes and pulleys. President Roosevelt could raise or lower himself in his wheelchair using his upper body strength. The restored yacht is in Oakland, California, but the stack is mounted at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, Maryland.
Working nights to get this island built in False Creek. The reasoning behind the need for this island totally escapes me. Had trouble with lens flare from the long exposure and the brilliant bright work lights
The night train from Åre arrives very early in Stockholm, so I took the opportunity to get some early-morning shots. Not many turned out, though, probably due to me being essentially unable to sleep on trains.
Quick hand-held video of False Creek this afternoon, as seen from the Burrard St. Bridge. (The noise is unseen bridge trafffic behind me.)

Do I fake the lomo-effect : Yes and No.
The lens is the Industar-69 fitted to a Sony Nex-3, so I got about the same focal then the Lomo-LCA and a russian lens. The lens is vignetting and has some major problems with sharpness. Lomography doesn't sell original russian lenses no more, they are chinese, but I do.
I do not use film, but what is the point, the so called special effects film are made for the purpose, but finally you need to have a digital support to upload the pics. What you do with your digital support is your choice..., for those shots, I have increased the contrast and used the Alien Skin Exposure Kodak Lomo effect.
Think and do not buy!
Yes, these are not cherry tomatoes. I was fooled by their appearance, when I saw them on the plant (for the first time) but the locals cautioned me that these are not edible and are highly poisonous. They belong to the tomato family and are similar to cherry tomatoes in taste and texture. Locals call them junglee mirchi (trade name wild cherry). These are cultivated for their ornamental flowers and are also used for festive decorations.
Still want to taste them? You can find them here in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India.

False Heather or Woolly Beach-heather (Hudsonia tomentosa), Spring Green Preserve, Sauk County, Wisconsin
False thistle (Eryngium leavenworthii), also known as Leavenworth's eryngo, is an annual plant in the parsley family that is native to the central United States. It can reach heights up to 3 feet. It inhabits dry rocky prairies, roadside fields, open woodlands and waste areas. The plant is mostly found in areas with limestone or chalk soils. Its flowers appear between July to September, although in some areas the flowers may bloom as late as November. The flower ranges in length from 1 1/2" to 3" and in width approximately 1/2". It is frequently mistaken for thistle. The flowers sit atop elongated stems on spiked leaves and form cones of purple or wine colored, tightly clustered blossoms that resemble small fuzzy pineapples. It was named after, Melines Conklin Leavenworth (1796–1862) who is credited with its discovery.
My first false morel (Gyromitra esculenta)!!!
I am still on a mission to find my first morel and there is a hope. Gyromitra esculenta is found in the spring about the same time as the true morels. They can be found in roughly the same areas as the true morels and often grow in close proximity to one another. Will be checking this weekend.
To be precise, credit for spotting this hard to find species should be given to Suzanna neithernor.tumblr.com/

SCULPTURES IN THE CITY 2014
12. False Ceiling by Richard Wentworth
In the early 1990s I lived for a while in Berlin. The unusual political moment meant that the most extraordinary combinations of objects would turn up in the flea markets. Only a step away from the assorted military cast offs of the cold war there were two groups of objects which were notable for being so numerous – books and plates. I was struck by the quantity of material and the way that things merged. I can remember the day when I turned over a soup bowl which said ‘Rosenthal 1937’ and below which was an elegant transfer of a swastika. It was this kind of collision between one book and another or between high and low dinnerware which started me thinking about the way we read the world and divide things into different typologies. The making of ‘False Ceiling’ a couple of years later was probably provoked by these kinds of peripatetic experience. You don’t always choose what you get to see.
