Post number 10, counting down to number 4 of 13 images in the series based on a common inspiration - Life During Wartime by Talking Heads.
Today's picture was taken Somewhere in BKLYN
Yesterday dawned very foggy so I grabbed my camera for a quick walk around the wetlands before starting work. The phrase pea soup described the gritty polluted air in London during the winters. Our air is not quite so polluted but there is a fair number of wood burning stoves with particulate matter. (We have one too). But there was much beauty walking in the quiet fog at Frog Hollow.
Under normal circumstances I'm sure there would have been lots of footprints in the snow. A mid morning wander around the deserted village of Sakrisoy in the beautiful Lofoten Islands.
A platform positioned off Happisburgh Norfolk, possibly in preparation to bring electrical cables ashore there from offshore wind turbines.

Another in the AI junkyard series. This original photo was taken at a car show. And I would say it represents the back rows of the junkyard where the weeds grow higher due to less traffic. But it looks like where the good stuff sets

This doorway is on Broad Street. I liked the bench and shadows. The boot scraper always reminds me of how filthy streets used to be with open sewers and no street cleaning. I think it was Ben Franklin who invented street cleaning, all those years ago (but well after this boot scraper was fitted obviously). I think there's a horse mounting block in the car park here behind the building.

I seriously hope I look this good when I am seventy two years old (and counting). This is the original first Chevrolet Corvette from 1953. From what I have read, it didn't exactly set the world on fire when first released. The first year saw only 300 made, and they didn't all sell. Not great or particularly sporting to drive, mainly due to only having a straight six cylinder engine and a 2 speed automatic transmission. And it only came in one colour - Polo White with a red interior.
But, it did look so wonderful for the era, and it is where the Corvette started.
I cannot wait to 'drive' this one!

A 1/18th scale model 1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1 by model maker AUTOart. This is one of only two pre-owned models in my ever growing set. A little hard to find now as they were released many years ago around 2004 and in limited numbers. I'm very happy to have it in my collection!

As well as having any number of delightful shades and colours, Dewhurst's Sylko have an equally wonderful range of names to accompany them. As I embarked on my "Embroider my World" project, I think I fell in love with the names of the Sylko colours as much as the colours themselves. This lovely shade of dusky pink is called "Biskara", named after Biskra, the capital city of Biskra Province in Algeria.
When it was my birthday last year, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case my Dewhurst's Sylko Biskara reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954 sits atop some creamy ecru lace which has gained its colour after more than one and half centuries of life, as it is from the 1850s. The spool is accessorised by two Victorian glass bead tassels, sparking in the morning light, and an Art Deco pearl and rhinestone appliqué.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

So I heard the bad news
Nobody likes me and I'm gonna die alone
In my bedroom
Looking at strangers on my telephone
Well, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you like if I believed those words?
If I'm born to lose
I'll never try and I will never learn but
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now, don't leave me now"
I've been looking at myself in the mirror, saying
"Don't leave me now" and I turn around like
"Oh my God like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan"
So here's the bad news
I'm coming for everyone and coming on strong
New hair and new shoes
Yeah, I get what I like because I do what I want
