Not sure why I felt inspired by the burnt out light bulb in the fixture above my kitchen sink, but here it is anyways! :D
I wanted to try to get a bit creative tonight and produce through an image the feeling of the movement of the water as it flowed through this little run I found. I'm not sure if this will be received well visually, please leave a critique and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for looking!!
Cardiff Castle (Welsh: Castell Caerdydd) is a medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion located in the city centre of Cardiff.. The original motte and bailey castle was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of a 3rd-century Roman fort. The castle was commissioned either by William the Conqueror or by Robert Fitzhamon, and formed the heart of the medieval town of Cardiff and the Marcher Lord territory of Glamorgan. In the 12th century the castle began to be rebuilt in stone, probably by Robert of Gloucester, with a shell keep and substantial defensive walls being erected. Further work was conducted by the 6th Earl of Gloucester in the second half of the 13th century. Cardiff Castle was repeatedly involved in the conflicts between the Anglo-Normans and the Welsh, being attacked several times in the 12th century, and stormed in 1404 during the revolt of Owain Glyndŵr.
After being held by the de Clare and Despenser families for several centuries, the castle was acquired by The 13th Earl of Warwick and Comte de Aumale in 1423. Lord Warwick conducted extensive work on the castle, founding the main range on the west side of the castle, dominated by a tall octagonal tower. Following the Wars of the Roses, the status of the castle as a Marcher territory was revoked and its military significance began to decline. The Herbert family took over the property in 1550, remodelling parts of the main range and carrying out construction work in the outer bailey, then occupied by Cardiff's Shire Hall and other buildings. During the English Civil War Cardiff Castle was initially taken by a Parliamentary force, but was regained by Royalist supporters in 1645. When fighting broke out again in 1648, a Royalist army attacked Cardiff in a bid to regain the castle, leading to the Battle of St Fagans just outside the city. Cardiff Castle escaped potential destruction by Parliament after the war and was instead garrisoned, probably to protect against a possible Scottish invasion.
In the mid-18th century, Cardiff Castle passed into the hands of the Stuart dynasty, Marquesses of Bute. John, 1st Marquess of Bute, employed Capability Brown and Henry Holland to renovate the main range, turning it into a Georgian mansion, and to landscape the castle grounds, demolishing many of the older medieval buildings and walls. During the first half of the 19th century the family became extremely wealthy as a result of the growth of the coal industry in Glamorgan. However, it was the 3rd Marquess of Bute who truly transformed the castle, using his vast wealth to back an extensive programme of renovations under William Burges. Burges remodelled the castle in a Gothic revival style, lavishing money and attention on the main range. The resulting interior designs are considered to be amongst "the most magnificent that the gothic revival ever achieved". The grounds were re-landscaped and, following the discovery of the old Roman remains, reconstructed walls and a gatehouse in a Roman style were incorporated into the castle design. Extensive landscaped parks were built around the outside of the castle.
In the early 20th century, the 4th Marquess of Bute inherited the castle and construction work continued into the 1920s. The Bute lands and commercial interests around Cardiff were sold off or nationalised until, by the time of the Second World War, little was left except the castle. During the war, extensive air raid shelters were built in the castle walls; they could hold up to 1,800 people. When the 4th Marquess died in 1947, the castle was given to the City of Cardiff.
Today the castle is run as a tourist attraction, with the grounds housing the "Firing Line" regimental museum and interpretation centre. The castle has also served as a venue for events, including musical performances and festivals.

A gothic interpretation of Paxton's Tower! Paxton's Tower is a Neo-Gothic folly that can be seen for miles from many areas situated on a hilltop near Llanarthney in the Towy Valley. It was built sometime between 1805 and 1808 and erected in honour of Lord Nelson and probably to a design by Samuel Pepys Cockerell. If you look closely there is a man sitting to the left of the tower - he gives an idea of the scale!

Banff National Park

I took the opportunity to head “abroad” to the Great White North last week on a four day power trip with friends Bill McIntosh, Tom Bricker, and Mark Willard. Our destinations were Banff, Yoho, and Jasper National Parks in the gorgeous western province of Alberta. It was my first time visiting that part of Canada and all I can say is wow... there are some beautiful places to see in this world. We’ll all be posting some shots over the next days/weeks and I highly encourage you to watch/visit their photostreams. I think all of our photographic styles are unique enough that you won’t see the same shot twice (at least, not the same interpretation).
This was taken during our first sunrise last Thursday at the Vermilion Lakes in Banff. We hadn’t scouted the area beforehand (that would just make it too easy!), so we found ourselves driving up and down Vermilion Lakes Road hopping in and out of our van looking for a good spot to set up in the dark. After finding a decent spot at a floating boat dock and firing off a few brackets of the beautiful color just beginning to burn on the horizon, we quickly abandoned ship when a workshop of other photographers stormed onto the scene in their cars (complete with driving up on us with their headlights on). Since we were vastly outnumbered and they were obviously not speaking English, we opted to cut our losses and quickly packed up, piled into our van, and headed out to find another spot. This location was the result of our retreat and was actually the first area we scouted earlier that morning, but weren’t able to find a dry enough patch of land to set up in the dark. I’m really glad we came back to this spot as I much prefer this composition to everything else I shot at the first location.
Thanks for looking! I appreciate all your views, comments, and faves!

This is an iconic POV of the Brooklyn Bridge. It's one of those shots you know has been done, but your collection won't be complete without it. :)
I'm also being a bit liberal with my Happy Fence Friday interpretation. Have a great weekend and HFF! :)))
C'est une interprétation moderne de la célèbre cène de Léonard de Vinci dont Dali reprit l'iconographie.
C'est une œuvre notable de la période de mysticisme nucléaire de l'artiste à l'instar de Galatée aux sphères et elle est exposée à la galerie nationale d'art de Washington.
Une citation Dalinienne : “Je suis pratiquant, mais pas croyant.”
This is a modern interpretation of the famous Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci which Dali resumed the iconography.
This is a notable work of nuclear mysticism period artist like Galatea of the Spheres and is exposed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Had to share this one of my two boys. Shall I keep it as idyllic as it looks by telling you how sweetly they did this on their own? How my 4 yo old son reached protectively out for his 2 yo brother's hand as they walked around the bend? I wish I could but I think the truth while not as perfect is always more interesting. I went back to this place, a particular open space about 30 minutes away from my house, hoping that the green trees that shroud this pathway would have turned into something colorful. I wasn't disappointed. This winding path wraps up the rocky hill like a miniature mountain pass. The base is wrapped in trees just like this and at the top is dense forest and rocks. It's a little bit of a trek for the kids but always worth it. I had rounded this bend and was stunned by the glorious color and curve of the path. I begged my son, yes BEGGED them to walk this path. They laughed and ran up and down the path completely ignoring my pleadings. Elijah my 2yo took a tumble off to the side landing in a pile of branches and began howling. I kissed him and set him up on his feet again and sat back patiently waiting for the right moment. Finally they both grew tired of running back and forth and Efraim came over to me to strike a bargain. "Do you want to take a picture of me Mama?" my face probably lit up like a 2 year old. "Yes I do, Efraim."
"Well, " his face was as serious as ever, "We can let you take pictures of us." I hugged him, "Thank you Efraim! That would make me very happy,"
"But can we get popsicles if we do?" my four year old asked. Should of known better!! ha!! What could I do though? I absolutely agreed and I didn't even have to convince Elijah because Efraim did all the talking. Within a few minutes these two boys walked off hand in hand around the corner - conspirators I tell you!! ;) But we were all happy in the end lol. Little brother trusting Big Brother to make it worth his while. I was hoping to return to this spot again this week but even as I'm typing this, I'm looking out my living room. to watch flakes of snow falling faster and faster. It's been snowing off and on all day long. I'm not sure what this will do to the emerging color around town and nearby areas. The color didn't seem to last long enough but I am so grateful this year to have found so many wonderful places to explore and enjoy. I'm just greedy I guess - it's never enough haha.
Hope your week is going well dear friends, thank you for listening to my ramblings.
Love,

This is my interpretation of the famous four hoodoos in Devil’s Garden. I photographed them during my visit to Grand Staircase-Escalante NM in May.
Devil’s Garden is very easily accessible and thus maybe the most photographed part of the Grand Staircase-Escalante NM. With its closeness to the parking lot, it was the perfect place for me to visit after my strenuous night at the “eye of earth” flic.kr/p/W6brbo
It was also my first try to shoot nightscapes with my new Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens, bridging the gap between my Samyang 24mm and Sigma 35mm primes on one side and my Canon EF 70-200mm lens on the longer end. I therefore took this image at 50mm, right in the middle of my previous gap in focal length.
I am pretty impressed with the result. While there are faster 50mm primes on the market, they probably cannot beat the sharpness of this beautiful lens. Even wide open it is tack sharp and shows no coma at all. The f/2.8 aperture is no problem if when using a tracker for the sky.
Of course I also captured he four hoodoos with other lenses. So there will be more shots of these funny four guys. Stay tuned…

My interpretation of Turner work Pastel on Canson paper. Snow Storm - Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth shows a ship off the English coast struggling to persevere through a storm. Rumor has that Turner actually had himself tied to the mast of a ship during the storm to get a better account of the wind and ocean and what the ship must've felt like in the midst of it. There is no way to test the validity of this rumor, however it is clear that unlike any other artist, Turner grasped the nature of the storm better than any other artist. This story, located in Harwich, was most likely invented but shows a striking proof of Turner's lifetime of experience on the sea.
The steam-boat resides in the center of the vortex. Turner once again shows the effects of the environment over mankind's inabilities.

These little devils are so small and so shy, they are very tough to spot and photograph. But when you are lucky enough to have a juvenile this close that is as hungry as show-off, you get 5 grown men shooting like crazy!
Newburgh is a large stone-built village on the wide sandy estuary of the River Ythan, close to the point at which it is bridged by the A975. he origins of the village date back to 1261 when a charter was drawn up by Lord Sinclair establishing a settlement here. A little later it acquired the Chapel of the Holy Rood and St Thomas the Martyr in Inch Road. The Chapel is long gone, but the Udny Family Mausoleum which formed part of it can still be seen in the Holyrood Cemetery. art of the name of the original chapel also survives, in the imposing Holyrood Chapel on Main Street. This was originally built as a school in 1838, and the clock tower was added in 1892. The village itself developed as a centre for salmon fishing, and later as a small port. By the 1850s there was a steady traffic of boats and barges calling at the newly built quays on the River Ythan. And by the 1880s there was a small fleet of sailing vessels based here, alongside a dozen resident fishing boats. A little earlier, in 1828, Newburgh became the first port in Scotland to have a Lifeboat Station, then called the Shipwreck Institution. The RNLI, as the Institution became, based a lifeboat in Newburgh until 1961, when it moved to Peterhead. In the 1950s Newburgh remained an active port with quays and a mill. Much of its economic base had declined by 1970, but the corner was turned - as with so many settlements in north east Scotland - with the discovery of oil under the North Sea. Newburgh, with its attractive setting and within commuting range of both Aberdeen and Peterhead rapidly became a desirable place to live. Today's Newburgh is an active and thriving settlement. At its centre is the Udny Arms Hotel providing accommodation, great views over the River Ythan, and an excellent restaurant. Beyond the River Ythan lies one of the oddest landscapes in Britain. Forvie Sands comprises an area of dunes some three miles long and a mile wide. At its heart are the remains of Forvie Kirk, built in the 1100s. This is all that can now be seen of the village of Forvie, once a thriving community but buried by shifting dunes during a storm in 1413. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/newburgh/newburgh/
Sands of Forvie Nature Reserve: www.visitscotland.com/info/towns-villages/forvie-national... Shifting sands and seabirds The stark beauty of empty sand dunes is complemented by the call of eider ducks, wafting like gentle gossiping across the Ythan estuary. With the constant shifting of the dunes, layers of history have come and gone, revealing the half buried remains of a twelfth century church. Bird life is plentiful and you can watch the summer acrobatics of diving terns or the determined stabbing of the carrot-coloured beaks of wading oystercatchers.
The Oriental Pied Hornbill is the island Mascot and one of the birds I was most looking forward to seeing on our trip to Kho Yao Noi.
The first night we happened upon them high up in the trees outside the resort but alas -no camera. I told myself, well at least I saw them.
A few days later we went to lunch at a little restaurant down the road. We were perched high up on stools in an open, rickety wooden structure overlooking the ocean. The waiter did not speak English as I found out when trying to explain I was vegan. As we were sitting enjoying the view, two hornbills flew right in front of us and behind the little restaurant. I jumped up and walked over to the waiter to ask if I could go out the back to see if I could find the hornbills. Of course, he had no idea what I was saying so in desperation I began to mime. I started flapping my arms to imitate wings and then did an interpretation of the long bill and the casque on top of my head. I had no sense of humiliation until I looked around and saw the Sherpa in hysterics. The poor waiter had no idea what I meant so he went and got the chef and the chefs interpretations was -oh she wasn’t to pay the bill!
The resort we were staying at has a second property on a mountain called 9 Hornbills Tented Camp. The resort took us on a little buggy ride up to the viewpoint where we found a few hornbills, once again high up in the trees. We spent half an hour watching them in the distance and listening to their monkey like cries ring out across the jungle.
I thought that was it for my encounters. They were good but I didn’t get the shot I dreamed of. On our second last day on the Island, we hired the same guides we had for an island tour to take us around a little more slowly. The very last stop was Sandy Beach to see the ocean near sunset. As we there, we spotted some Hornbills by the side of the road and ended up having the most wonderful encounter with a large flock. This was the shot I’d been after.
We had gone well over our allocated 4 hours with our guides but they knew how much I had wanted to see the Hornbills and seemed to be take pleasure in my joy and my “very big lens”!
The Hornbill that lives on the island is "Gag Bird" (or Curry Bird) is the smallest bird in the Hornbill family. Kho Yao Noi is considered the only island where Hornbills live with people in the community The villagers on the island consider Hornbills part of the community.
Going back to a bit of still life photography now as i have not done much in this area for a while now. I am really getting into doing diptych's lately so really i am just doing some simple experiments. I found it really hard to come up with a title for this image/photograph as there really is not a lot of meaning behind both shots tied together. So the title words are partly from heavy rock metal and indie band 'Iron Butterfly' who i am not a particular fan of but it did help me though by using the song lyrics to one of their songs. I have slightly rearranged the words into my own to make it more personal to me.
When i was listening to a song by the band Elbow which is called 'One Day Like This' it made me think of these two photographs. So i can sort of relate it back to that song. So on the day i taken both these shots which i think work very well together, i was very bored so i just got my camera out and just experimented really using natural window light. I got a plate then just spread purple glitter, then placed a few beads and petals on to the plate. I just want to thank everybody on flickr for commenting on this photograph because i have used some of those words as my tags.
I wanted there to be a certain softness behind both images/photographs with a sense of beauty conveyed by the pink colors. There is also a little bit of a twist with my intense hand holding onto the flower. This photograph is open to many interpretations but i will leave that for the audience to decide. It could maybe relate to friendship or not. I will not give no more away now.

As we did not have any snow on our house we set out to some high points around us to see what we could find as well as a trip to a micro brewery to find some ales for a Christmas present. This was our first stop, What drew my eye here first of all was the three diagonal lines across the field which could be animal tracks, then the straight borders top and bottom which run nearly parallel with the lines of clouds in the sky. This is just my interpretation of the scene it certainly is not a knock your socks off landscape image.
Hope everyone is holding on ok in these weather conditions, the rain is not as heavy as expected but the wind is ripping across the garden taking all sorts of objects with it and seems to be even stronger in the last hour or so.

I am greatly enjoying warm February walks. The trio of photos that I am posting today have the theme "yard sculptures " with a loose interpretation.
I re-edited this image to give what I think is a more "honest" interpretation of the photo - you can see it here: flic.kr/p/2qYsMrH
A few years ago I bought a Kodak Reflex 1A (the TLR, not the 35mm Retina Reflex) and did a few tests with it, but found the results universally disappointing. The Anastigmat lens it's equipped with is pretty sub-standard, IMO. It is grotesquely unsharp and loaded with aberration when used wide open (or close to it) and extremely prone to flare, as you can see in this example photo. But when stopped down to f11 or f16 it can make a reasonable image (I think this was shot at f11.5)
Kodak Tmax 400 shot at 200 ASA, developed in Adox XT-3, 1:1 for 9 minutes.
Note: after reviewing this recent roll of film shot with the Reflex 1A, I decided I had no further use for it and donated it to the local thrift shop. It wasn't worth the effort to re-roll film onto 620 spools.
In your darkest moments, know that the light is coming and will reach out to you.
I added a healthy dose of artistic interpretation in this photo with severe contrast and clarity as well as split screen lighting. :)
Found in 1898, you see here the original location (left) and the original example (right). The small bows and arrows often situated near to the right shoulders of statue menhirs may not be at first convincing, but with the Statue-Menhir de la Coste the interpretation is indubitable. Key examples help people 'read' others. The arrowhead of the bow's arrow may still have been in flint and the state of preservation of this area of the original is very exciting. The belt seems to be woven and strings of leather would be one option of many. The hunter's knife seems to have been scrubbed away in a change of direction for the statues 'meaning' with the cup at the centre of the ring that holds the hunter's knife being a residue with a second unknown cup. The project to produce replica statue menhirs was massive and of real importance, and it should be expected that some examples may be returned to over time. My own feeling is that this example could be better - said with gratitude and without criticism.
