Photo prise à Chazemais, département de l'Allier.
J'ai pris cette photo avec 300 mm de focale, j'ai aimé le contraste des couleurs entre l'herbe verdoyante et la terre labourée sans oublier la présence d'un agriculteur avec son tracteur entrain de labourer.
Tomorrow (1 May) is the Labour Day in China. It is also a public holiday in HK which is really nice.
Thursday is the new Friday!! :-)
When the pandemic started I was so bored I decided to work on some scarves for my work's charity drive in next winter. I pulled out all of my loose yarn and started knitting. I was able to make 4 scarves out of my odds and ends.

Rear view of Yatala Labour Prison (B-Division).
For the first five years of South Australian settlement there was no permanent prison. Prisoners were kept locked in irons onboard HMS Buffalo until its sailing in 1837, and in temporary jails subsequently. 1841 saw the first permanent prison built in Adelaide, with the Adelaide Gaol on the banks of the River Torrens, the building of which severely strained the new colony's finances.
Twenty five prisoners were sent to Dry Creek to work the quarries in July 1854, living at night in an iron house. Dry Creek prison was officially declared a gaol on 10 Aug 1854.
The Prison began as an iron house with surrounding palisade and became known as The Stockade. The construction of a stone building was requested and by October 1854 this was completed using locally quarried bluestone, with accommodation for 60 prisoners.
In its early years rock-cracking, hard labour and solitary confinement were the notable features of life at the prison.
The first batch of 24 convicts was sent to the prison from Adelaide gaol on 9 February 1855 wearing the characteristic broad arrow pattern prison clothes of the time and the first escape from the prison took place October 1855 with 8 escapees. The Prisoners were captured, chained in solitary confinement within the prison, then subsequently punished with 50 lashes for the escape and other disciplinary issues.
The prison has been expanded over the years and consists of 4 units:
B-Division - high and medium security, and prisoners requiring protection.
E-Division - all security classifications for assessment, prisoner induction.
F-Division - working division close to the prisons industries facilities.
G-Division - highest security section of the prison.
Some of the original buildings and parts of old equipment can still be seen from a creek level walking trail, between the prison and new suburb of Walkley Heights. These include guard towers, quarries, a blacksmith's shop and a gunpowder magazine.

This heart was made using something evergreen (pine leaves), organic (tree branches) held in place by pebbles of different colours and put together by some conscious efforts plus a little bit of artistic talent :)
Here it is, the final belly picture. THIS is what it looks like when the baby has dropped! At this point I had been in early labour for about 12 hours, and active labour started maybe 2 hours later. I guess that's how I can still be smiling...
RLHH 3049 leads a late running SOR 597 through Caledonia Ontario. This normally nocturnal train was a nice catch to end the summer.
If you look closely, you will see that the pistils of the disk flowers form a little heart shape. 😊 ♥ ♥ ♥
Hope you will enjoy!

These fence posts were intended to last but they far outlived the quarry works on the eastern side of Penmaenmawr quarry. I presume a tramway ran along this level to the loading hopper deeper into the shot. An incline runs up to the left, with the building on the face of the slope being a power generation shed. I assume that these facilities became redundant when the mountain above had all been removed. The outline of the building top left is built at an angle on the slope face. There is nothing left now but fresh air above it, but a long time ago the mountain continued upwards here, originally being one third higher.
Once again it illustrates the massive manual labour of quarrying in North Wales. from which millions and millions of stone was exported over the centuries.
OK, so this may look like one of those look up and shoot with a wide angle lens, but actually it is my labour of love. Why, you may ask? Well, the ceiling is vast and when I say vast I mean that the only way to capture it fully is to go crazy wide!. This is an 8 shot fisheye stitch! Now, the main problem with using a fisheye to stitch is distortion and after trying several different pieces of software I was still finding it impossible. I then found some software called Kolor AutoPano Stitch, and whilst it has taken me the best part of 3 hours to work out how to configure the stitch and additionally correct the distortion I am impressed with the end result. Some of you may be thinking, why bother, you may be right, but seriously, its one of those things I started doing and was determined to see through. I have tried to stitch a number of fisheyes in the past but something always seems to go wrong. What I will say about AutoPano, is that you can set the lens correction values and also specify that you are using a fisheye lens, which is something that is missing in the other software. Part of me thinks I probably could have used a lens that was less wide and have taken more shots, but then I would not have been able to correct the distortion quite so well.
Oh, it's the ceiling inside the Tate Britain on London's Millbank taken on a day out with Flickr buddies with Paul C Stokes, Daniel Borg, Tim Green and Paul Baggaley.
Happy Thanksgiving for all those who celebrate! Have a great day! :-)
They call it "The Exhibition", "The Ex", "The CNE"...The Canadian National Exhibition. It's one of the largest annual fairs in North America. Running from August 18 to September 4 in Toronto, it usually attracts 1.5 million visitors before closing on Labour Day.
