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.

Newly invested scouts, leaders, and award recipients cutting the celebration cake at the 1st Figtree Scouts group campfire at Mt Keira Scout Camp
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.

The new facility, scheduled to open in summer 2012, is designed to be a quiet space that reflects our dedication to health and well-being, and its unique healing environment design — influenced by the 126-year-old Moreton Bay Fig Tree — will subtly suggest the restorative properties of nature.
Dr Caitlin Raschke is one of the de-facto leaders of the group 'Save Our Figs'. She is a practicing GP in Medowie.
To paraphrase what she said as I walked past, "If you know anything about 'arbory', then you'll know if the canopy looks good you don't even have to look at the roots."

I hope she never needs the help of police one day and has one of these "fucking cunts" show up to help. Next time, maybe just do as you're told. I realise that won't get you your money shot, but hey. Who Gives a Fig, right? We all got a good laugh out of it anyway.
Edit 9/9/2012 - And the Newcastle local government election results are in!! Congratulation to the Doc!! 29 votes! That's not 29%, either. She got 29 votes. Total.
