I enjoy big infrastructure. Over the years, I've photographed a lot of great bridges and tunnels, some of which are still used to help people get from A to B but others have been left to abandonment. My favourite part of any drive is crossing a large body of water or a tall gorge as I like to see how the road takes on the landscape. Mountain passes such as the Cairnwell Pass also tick the same box.
Despite being the tallest pass in the UK, the Cairnwell Pass is also one of the more tame climbs. That's not to say it's an easy climb if you're on foot or cycling but the modern A93 tackles the pass via a road that has long, sweeping bends and straight sections all following a constant, if steep gradient up the side of the mountains.
Things weren't always this way, though. Before the road was modernised, there was an infamous hairpin on the hill climb known as the Devil's Elbow. There is a classic postcard image of a bus driving up the pass going around, claiming that the gradient was a gruelling 1 in 3 and based on the postcard, you'd be inclined to agree.
However, if you look more carefully at the postcard, as I have done on and off over the years since I first saw it, you can see that the photo is squint. This makes the hairpin look far worse than it actually is. The gradient on the old A93 alignment was never steeper than 1 in 6 (which is still very severe for a main road). The bus also looks to have been cut and pasted into the scene as the wheel position and shadowing don't look quite right. Still, you have to applaud the efforts of whomever it was who created that postcard as they obviously went to a lot of effort to sell the illusion.
Told you I can talk about roads all day long...

Décimo do Desafio!
Eu ia fazer um degradê nesse estilo, mas resolvi usar essa outra "técnica" que já tinha usado antes do Flickr...
É simples, você escolhe um esmalte escuro e vai misturando com branco... eu fui misturando em uma tampinha de coca-cola (sério) pra não perder pra sempre esse esmalte e ter menos trabalho na hora de misturar...
Passei uma camada de Top Coat holográfico porque ando numa vibe holográfica... hehe
Seiláporque escondi o dedão na foto, mas é a cor original do esmalte...

An unusual survivor - probably due to it being concrete - was this gradient post outside Dunblane - on the Doune line. 19/6/83.
patagonia, glacier with gradients.
impressive show at the end of the world, I will remember this trip for ever.
A seated silhouette, defined by soft gradients.
A shirtless man is seated on a cube, his back to the camera, with soft directional lighting that highlights the contours of his shoulders, spine, and arms, while a muted gradient background keeps the focus on the sculpted form and relaxed pose.

O mais legal de usar os esmaltes antigos é relembrar a história de cada um deles. O q vc fez para conseguir, a sola de sapato q gastou, o achado no balaio da perfumaria, o tão sonhado gringo, as troquinhas, as amizades, as ocasiões q vc já os usou... Tudo fica mais interessante!
O Splash é só amor desde o seu lançamento. Os glitters furta-cor e o glow roxo q ele tem ganharam o meu coração! Antes dele eu só tinha olhos para o Mucuri (Dote), outro queridíssimo!
Para facilitar a limpeza, usei a técnica da Máscara Facial da Avon. Passei nos dedos (em volta das unhas) e esperei secar antes de começar a esmaltar. Depois, foi só alegria! Tem fotos do processo nos comentário, caso alguém não conheça a técnica.
This is a combo of an image of the side of a glass and brick building in the sun and a gradient blend image I have recently made.
The gradient post at Chequerbent, on the line between Leigh and Bolton, was photographed on Wednesday 19 June 1968. As a result of mining subsidence the gradient had become uneven and was said to have steepened to 1 in 18 at one point. The line was closed in 1969.

This supersparkly manicure I created sprinkling loose silver holographic glitter over wet nail polish (Claudia Cosmetics Glistening Snow) from the tipp to the center of the nail & charcoal loose holographic glitter from the center down to the finger. To make a soft gradient I mixed both glitters & sprinkled the "mixture" over the middle of the nail & finally sealed everything with 3 coats of OPI Top Coat.
It looks sooo dazzling! A perfect New Year's manicure.

I just love the open sea, when all you see is water all around you. This photo on the other hand was taken down at the harbour, but it reminds me of the open sea.

6th March 2018. On a photo charter run by the 30742 Group, BR 7MT Britannia 4-6-2 No.70013 Oliver Cromwell powers up the Keighley curve with a mixed goods train. Note in the background is the Keighley Technical College. The railway is part of the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway.
Maunsell 'King Arthur' 4-6-0 no.777 'Sir Lamiel’ crests the gradient on the Quorn Straight with the now late 12:15 Loughborough-Leicester North train. A points problem at Loughborough through the timetable out.
Eii! Tudo bom? Essa já é a última unha da primeira etapa do desafio, a unha gradiente! Pra fazer eu usei uma esponjinha de maquiagem. E os esmaltes são: Passe Nati Arco-Íris, Mohda Boneca de Porcelana e Ellen Gold Moça Criança. Apesar dos outros dois serem bem cremosos, eu não gostei mutio do Mohda. Ele é bem transparente, tive que passar várias vezes pra conseguir o efeito. A plaquinha é a DRK Cx1 e o esmalte é o mesmo que já usei mil vezes, o Hits Prata Lunar. TC por cima!
Beijos!
Olá! Gente, fiz mais um gradiente com esponja, estava no astral pirua no dia e fiz tudo rosa com tachinhas douradas. No gradiente usei Quem disse berenice? Pinkina e Realce Pasta Americana. Os dois são ótimos pra fazer gradiente porque ambos são opacos e isso facilita na hora de aplicar a esponja. Passei TC por cima.
Beijos!

Ei gente! Fiz um gradiente com dois esmaltes da Maybelline, o Orange Attack 245 e o Fierce n'Tangy 390. E pra carimbar usei o La Femme Bronze, mas não gostei muito. Parece que os brilhos do esmalte meio que "racharam" a estampa, não transferiu muito bem, precisei fazer várias vezes pra ficar bom. A plaquinha é a Pueen 63. TC por cima.
Beijos!
