A stainless knife stuck in a frozen wooden bridge as it warms and moisture rises around it creating a soft bokeh fore and aft ground.
Once you scramble along the Blade, this is the view of Tasman Island that greets you. Tasman Island and nothing else until Antarcitca.
The Blade is a narrow ridge of Dolomite on Cape Pillar. Only a couple of meters wide it stands proud and is a distinctive feature of the surrounding landscape.
Striped Kukri Snake (Oligodon octolineatus) - Malua Forest Reserve, Malaysia
A beautiful snake which I had been hoping to see during my time in Borneo. I was somewhat heartbroken when I came across my first one freshly dead on a road in Danum Valley, a few days later in Malua, I came across another one which was alive! At first I thought it might be a coral snake (Calliophis sp.) but I quickly determined it was a kukri snake. Thinking I had nothing to fear I picked it up and quickly learned why this is called a kukri snake, a kukri is a type of Nepalese knife and apparently this snakes teeth are shaped like the knife. It immediately demonstrated the efficiency of its teeth and left its mark; several impressive slashes across my fingers and knuckles. My hand was bleeding quite profusely but I was unwilling to let this snake go as it was the first of its kind that I had seen alive, but I took care to not let it bite me anymore. Apparently I'm not the only one who has had a bite by an Oligodon bleed excessively, its thought that perhaps they have some anticoagulant in their saliva. Its amazing how effective its 'kukri' teeth were, I have been bitten by many snakes over the years and usually a nonvenomous colubrid of this size is of no concern and can barely break the skin, the Oligodon showed me it wasn't the average run of the mill colubrid. Despite being effective their teeth aren't designed to savage photographers, they're also useful when it comes to their prey which is mostly eggs but lizards are also taken. The teeth are used to slice the egg and allow for easier consumption.

The Knife Angel sculpture is doing a tour of the UK and is currently in situ outside Sage in Gateshead.
"The sculpture, made from over 100,000 seized blades, was specifically created to highlight the negative effects of violent behaviour whilst solidifying our critical need for social change. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions."

The next two posts feature two sculptures that have recently arrived in Hull one as a temporary visitor and the second a permanent addition to the city history
The sculpture Knife Angel was here for a month but it is travelling around some other cities including Coventry and Liverpool .
It's quite a beautiful piece to highlight the very dark area of knife crime.
The 27ft (8m) Knife Angel sculpture is made from 100,000 blades handed into police across the country. It was created in 2017 . Artist Alfie Bradley, who created the sculpture at the British Ironworks Centre, said it was a "monument against violence and aggression”.
In Britain we have a serious problem with knife crime that is resulting in deaths of mostly young people . Knife crime is difficult for any government to control. While a government that is interested in protecting its citizens from harm can easily ban guns from public ownership. Knives of course are used by all of us for all many of reasons, which makes a ban completely impossible .
I guess it is down to the criminal justice system to give out severe sentences for anyone carrying a knife in public without a reasonable cause . This will mean giving police greater stop and search powers . It will also involve education trying to get the message across that people do not have the right to carry any form of lethal weapon around . I would not want to minimise how difficult this will be . But the alternative is to do nothing, offer the victims thoughts and prayers and pretend there is not a problem.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

This sculpture is currently touring Britain. Made from 100,000 knives, donated in knife amnesties or seized by the police, it is also called the "National Monument against violence and aggression".
My first light with a new 200mm scope attached to my regular 840mm scope.
I used an additional small scope to collect the background nebulosity. I didn't realize at the time that there are interesting star-stream patterns in this nebulosity. If you know they are there you can almost see them in this image. I am hoping to do a much longer exposure of the background to see if I can pull them out more. I must say I am a bit skeptical that the star streams exist as cleanly as they are shown in some cases. It looks a bit like fanciful guided processing to me, for instance: pbs.twimg.com/media/FXyHWBhVEAAVbtz.jpg
Still there definitely appears to something there:
iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ab40c9/pdf
from cosgrovescosmos: "There are a few attributes of this galaxy that make it stand out from many other galaxies.
For one thing, It has an abnormally low amount of heavier atoms - described as having a low Metallicity.
It also seems to have an absence of giant stars - at least very few have been detected - leading astronomers to conclude that this galaxy may be comprised primarily of dwarf stars.
Finally, this galaxy was considered an example of a warped spiral. Most such galaxies have companion galaxies nearby, whose gravitational interaction distorts both galaxies. However, NGC 5907 has no such companion. In 2006, a group of astronomers discovered the presence of a faint extended looping tidal stream that may have come from an early companion, which was dissipated and consumed by NGC 5907 as a consequence of their interaction. Now only these ghostly tidal loops remain."

Part of the process of making a Robert Welch Signature knife. On display in the Robert Welch Chipping Campden Studio Shop.
The knife Angel has been created as a National monument against violence and aggression at the British Ironworks Centre in Oswestry and is a memorial to those whose lives have been affected by knife crime. It is a 27ft high sculpture, which Alfie Bradley has designed and created single-handedly using over 100,000 knives surrendered and collected in nationwide amnesties in 2015/2016.

I finally returned to my spiritual home for night photography, Joshua Tree National Park. I had not photographed nightscapes in the main part of the Park at night for at least two years. Instead, I had been focusing on photographing abandoned buildings and vehicles and more for my photography books. But not tonight. It was a beautiful March night lit with a half moon. I illuminated the scene with warm white light from a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device during the exposure. I've named this after one of the spiritual places in "Star Trek" lore due to its otherworldly nature as well as the significance of JTNP for me and my night photography explorations. Thanks!

This x-acto knife is one of many items in my craft supplies cart. I think it was beckoning to me... haha! A perfect solution for "X", if I do say so myself!
"X" is for X-ACTO knife
A silver and mother of pearl fruit knife by John Yeoman Cowlishaw of Sheffield 1907. This Knife was given to me by my father on my 16th birthday, who in turn recieved it from my Grandfather who recieved it from my Great Grandfather.
Skakdi of the tundra plains, Frax roams the icy wasteland with mercenary objectives. Armed with a small knife and the Bow of the Icy Winds, which absorbs wind and frost from the air to fire bursts of icy death.
My first venture into this style of large scale yet minimalist design, a scale I plan on exploring more in the future - he's by no means perfect, but I'm very happy with how he turned out. :)
