The Open Book in Richmond upon Thames is my favourite independent bookshop for miles around. It may appear small from the outside, but within its doors and stretching back for yards are shelves and shelves and shelves of the most wonderful reading available.
It’s also the bookshop of choice for luminaries such as Sir David Attenborough, Michael Frayn, Claire Tomalin and Bamber Gascoigne, all of whom live locally. Just a minute or two’s walk from Richmond Green, it’s a veritable treasure trove of the printed word.
The Open Book has been part of Richmond’s life since it was founded in 1987, and despite the seemingly relentless onslaught of online behemoths, chain stores and e-books, this wonderful independent retailer stands proud.
Part of the reason for its success is its knowledgeable and welcoming staff, against whom the giants are helpless. Long may it remain so!
♦ While you’re here… I have two Galleries that might interest you: a Bookshops gallery and a Public Libraries gallery. Happy browsing!
Three GECX Gevo's bracket a BNSF C4 that was in for warranty work as they cruise up and down the test track. 2012 is one of the more boring test units as it has no nose logo and well a open door. Oh no I better turn them in its not safe! oh wait im not stupid.

SET 1 – Walmart, Morrilton, AR
One more for today, glancing back upward from the meat department towards produce (which is simply titled “FRESH” in this décor). I mentioned earlier, in that first description of the day, the juxtaposition between the white lower walls and the black upper walls: not something that I believe Walmart has done before, but a decision that I feel works very well in purposefully lowering the sightlines and drawing attention down further toward only the area of signage that really matters and, more importantly, the products below it. It’s almost as if the paint job is creating an artificial cap, or ceiling, without actually having to have a physical drop ceiling that would compromise the large, open feeling of the store. This isn’t a new practice in retail overall, but like I said it does seem to be new for Walmart, and I dig it… it works really nicely here.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

I was folding the open-back version of the 3.6.3.6 pattern that had seen on borut miklus' beautiful photostream and when I stopped and looked at an intermediate step I noticed that it formed an almost perfect circle with great ornaments. so I decided to put several of those circles in a line.
this particular rendition is more of a proof of concept. anybody else smell a bookmark in there? ; )
The unusual sound of EMD's GP-15-1's 12 cylinder 645E diesels are heard working hard as they pull a short grade toward Spring Grove, PA. This is York Railways CSX interchange train. It's only a few miles back that the rails ply the urban settings of downtown York, PA, and the industrial and retail sprawl that I call, "Genarica" that every town has to offer. This location is a fine peaceful get away.
I'm working away madly on my new "Shapes" book. I'm still expecting it to be ready before Christmas. Here's an Open Window Series pendant I created for it. The texture is called "Four Play" by Pixie Art Stamps (pixieartstamps.com/) which is a new line of stamps by my husband Mike. It also features my favorite focal point - a button - on a cotter pin.

I had a few other shots of her staring me down. This shot was the best I could do.
