To celebrate the 125th anniversary of its founding, the Detroit Institute of Arts is displaying reproductions of its most noted works in public spaces around metro Detroit.
This is a reproduction of "The Nightmare", painted in 1781 by Swiss artist Henry Fuseli, outside the Noir Leather shop in Royal Oak.
I was out and about on Sunday afternoon chasing the light again. We had walked (and photographed) Wessenden in the morning and I wanted to go to a point that I hadn’t walked to before, but, had my eye on for a long time. I also ended up on West Nab for a change. Considering we walk within half a mile of West Nab several times a week, we never go up it. The prominent hill above Meltham and the southern end of a saddleback hill that has Deer Hill and Shooters Nab at the other end – Meltham Moor rather than Marsden Moor. Outside of the National trust land access, a long time ago, used to be a bit problematic. I seem to remember the shooting syndicate trying to restrict access in the distant past. This ridge is on the Pennine skyline and I used to be able to see it driving back from Hull in the eight wheeler every morning.
We initially called at Buckstone on the A640, my old gritting route this, and grabbed a few decent shots before heading in to Saddleworth. I wanted to get to the small TV mast above Uppermill and Greenfield to check it out as a viewpoint. Having changed clothes after the morning walk, I ended up filthy, the fields looked green and walkable but were actually a mud bath after months of rain – Wellies next time.
The view across to Chew Valley, Dovestones and The Wimberry stones was very good, with Greenfield below. I mostly went for the classic wide angle look, big sky, as the sky was generally attractive.
The West Nab with its scattered boulders and panoramic views is a fantastic place and easy to get to. I used to practice with my medium format cameras up there years ago.

Inliyayla roman and byzantine rock fortress (#17)
In the heart of Turkey’s Afyon lies the Phrygian valley, a huge area with a series of mystical caves steeped in ancient history.
Afyon is a central region of Turkey well known for it’s thermal springs, but travel past the spas and you’ll discover the beautiful Phrygian Valley, a huge expanse of hollow caves that have been inhabited for over 7000 years. Still populated to this day, the Phrygian Valley is a wonderful contrast of the ancient with the present, with a thriving farming community working the land around the gorgeous ochre coloured caves and natural rock formations that are scattered across the whole valley. Wandering along the dusty road that goes through the centre of the valley feels like something out of an Indiana Jones film, with huge ancient caves looming on all sides, each containing their own secrets from centuries gone by. Exploring these carved out caverns is utterly fascinating, as each has its own history that tells the story of ancient civilisations that have made the valley their home. One cave holds the carved out graves of a Roman family, with protective engraved stone lions over the door, which have stood the test of time and several different inhabitants. A church from the second century, the era in which the Christians settled in Afyon, has a cathedral-esque interior, stone eaves and worship rooms chiselled deep into the rocks face. Explore the caves some more and you find another tiny space that appears unassuming, but look at the walls through a camera lense and you’ll see the Jesus and the 12 disciples painted onto the stones surface. This phenomenon continues to baffle scientists and is definitely worth the trek up the step hill upon which it sits. The Phrygian Valley also plays host to the fabled King Midas’ castle, a huge rock formation that stands out in the plains that has natural rooms that apparently housed the famous donkey-eared king. If you’ve got strong shoes its well worth climbing up to the top of the rock for unbeatable views of the sweeping valley and its famous‘fairy chimneys’, the colloquial term for rock formations that look uncannily like mushrooms.

out of place artifacts, 2018

Ensamblado por precintado de restos de objetos hallados entre 2015 y 2018 en las inmediaciones del sitio en donde se erigiera la histórica Jabonería de Vieytes (México y av. 9 de Julio, caba, cuna intelectual de la Revolución de Mayo) dispuestos como hallazgo arqueológico. Una línea de tensión afectiva entre el territorio del pasado histórico y un futuro levantado sobre las ruinas de la contemporaneidad.

If you're interested, I've uploaded five slide shows of my street photography, with music. Check it out:
I'm always seeing weird shapes in my beer but never have a camera to photograph them. Last night I saw a heart shape in my beer and ran to get the camera, but it was already fading by the time I got back. I decided to take the picture anyway because it was becoming a "broken" heart. Then when I downloaded it I noticed that the flash made another heart in the middle of it. Now how fucking excited are you that you stopped by here today to see this???
Yeah, I got nothin'. It's pretty sad when ya gotta resort to posting photos of your beer. I haven't been out of the house in a week, BUT, the kids and I are planning on finding something to get into tomorrow, so hopefully I will have something more interesting and eye pleasing to post then.
Revisited Wollaton Hall, Nottingham to follow the rut. An enjoyable day out with Sadloafer and Bodgerchris - thanks! Wollaton Hall has 500 acres of land and free roaming herds of red deer and sika deer. There do not seem to be many challengers to the leading stag of the red deer this year.
