Amazed to see a fig this early, but I might take a late night trip and start picking some, as they were low enough to take get to easily!!
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Fifty days after Easter comes "Kataklysmos" - the Day of the Holy Ghost. In Cyprus it is celebrated by fairs held on the water fronts.
Kataklysmos is a water-based festival that takes place along the beachfront, on Saturday of the Pentecost and Whit Monday.
The date for Kataklysmos follows the Orthodox Calendar, falling each year on Sunday of the Pentecost and Monday of the Holy Spirit.
Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus. In ancient times, where Protaras is now located, stood the old city-state of Leukolla. The city possessed a small safe harbour where the Athenian Demetrius Poliorketes sought refuge in the year 306 BC, lying in wait for Ptolemeos, one of the successors of Alexander the Great.

On the drive from Atherton back to Cairns, came across a sign on the road that lead to an old curtain wall fig tree, in a tiny remnant of rainforest in the area
All day long the version of this that I posted (now down in the comments) was bugging me. I knew I hadn't gotten the edit right, but I wanted to post and SP to introduce Charlie's fabulous guest blog post (go read it already!). I short cutted -- threw a TTV texture on the image to help close it in and went to work.... where I looked at it a few times (I had zero focus today) and tried to convince myself that it came together. Someone who knows me better than anyone else pointed out the obvious, or I should say, had the courage to call me on my bullshit (thankyouverymuch). So now you get the re-edit. I'm normally not a fan of intense, heavy handed vignetting of the faux variety, but this image needs to be contained for the visual effect to work. Hence the instinct to pretend it was shot TTV. But the texture was too phony. I'll break my own rule on the vignetting here because it serves a purpose -- I'm not merely trying to make the photo seem important and dramatic.
WithinaClick is very excited to have the one & only crustydolphin guest blogging today.
Inspired by her revealing article on self-portraiture, I decided it was time to put myself in the photo again.
Go -- read and let us know what you think in the comments: withinaclick.com/2010/03/an-exploration-of-something-othe...

When I planned my Zimfest 2001 tour there were two working 20th Class Garratts available, I asked if we could use both of them on a double headed mixed train from Bulawayo to Plumtree, they would then split and return to Bulawayo as a passenger and a goods train at time interval. The railway management agreed, and chose to run a test train to Plumtree with both locomotives a short time before the festival.
This was the last time a revenue freight worked with a 20th Class, considering that the Zimfest 2001 train was a charter and was the last time the 20th Class Garratts worked in Zimbabwe.
Not surprisingly, I chase that train by car.
Fig Tree Bay is a sandy beach in the resort of Protaras, Cyprus. The sandy beach stretches for 500m and the waters are clean enough for the beach to have been awarded blue flag designation. The beach, which runs the length of its own cove, takes its name from the fig trees located close to the coast.
