Ok I thought I was taking a break this weekend. However a good friend asked for a photo for a wall of friends, and 3 mintues later I had this.

Pose: Built into the cane
Found this old fence post with the wire holes looking like "eyes" and with the light fading the post became a little possessed....to my eye anyway :-)
I once possessed a vast collection of CDs kept in alphabetical order, particularly my opera collection, but I also cherished a touch of spontaneity in my life. Thus, I would often rummage through several large piles which I deliberately kept in random order, selecting albums on a whim to revel in the delightful surprises that emerged when I pulled them from the bottom of the stack. The challenge lay in avoiding a chaotic avalanche during this process, which required finesse to manage. I had to be careful not to trigger a musical landslide, but the thrill of discovery made it all worthwhile.
"What possessed you to buy a sub? Seriously, we'll never need one. You already have jet skis, a helicopter, cars galore and I don't know what else. Geez."

It's a pretty cool place. When it rains, it floods --- seriously. A lot of things you can see on a fine day, disappears underwater. If you're there and everything goes to black, you might have slipped underwater. Flying helps to get you out but I wouldn't do it for long -- lots of people taking pics. Very atmospheric. Since it's fairly monochromatic, great for film noir shots. Ooooh and don't forget the abandoned house on the hill.

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

This particular hike was a bit of a disaster. Our aim was to climb a nearby 10,000 foot hill by the name of Mount Siyee, but being a visitor and guest in Montana I chose to let my two Montanan pals do the planning. Imagine my surprise when they advised that they didn't have a map and only possessed an old guide book. Never mind the weather was set good for the day so we'd find a way to the summit. Well, their guidebook was forty years out of date and our instructions advised that we should take a left turning up a prominent ridge at the end of a plantation of trees. We did this but weren't aware that two miles of additional trees had been planted up the valley. The result was that our ascent would take us towards the summit of Cracker Peak from where it might have been possible to traverse a high ridge to the summit of Mount Siyee.
This photo of Mike shows him making his descent of the ridge we climbed. Craig had already thrown the towel in on account of the terrible loose rock we had to contend with, so Mike and I continued on up the crumbling mountain. We scaled the ridge seen here and then reached a ridiculously steep snow slope. Mike called it a day and left me suffering from a combination of summit fever and frustration at their lack of planning. I continued and made good progress to an island in the snow before finally realising that there was a huge snow slope just waiting to carry me away to a certain inevitable end. I saw sense gingerly made my way back to Mike and then we descended the crumbly strata seen here.
It would be a very long hike back to the road and then a race to catch the last bus back to the summit of Logan Pass where our car was parked.
today was the start of a new semester, and i'm ridiculously happy. it's been a while since i've had the chance to work on conceptual photos. i've been doing commercial work 24/7 and it's killing me. this semester, my independent study course MAKES me work on my own concepts and ideas. thank god.
Agapanthus means 'flower of love' and is derived from the Greek agape meaning 'love' and anthos meaning 'flower'.
A. africanus and A. praecox are often confused. Both have medicinal properties, but it is A. africanus that is believed to be possessed of 'magical powers', whereas A. praecox is the one that enhances the beauty of our gardens.

I love taking photos with the lights in my room. I had the idea of me pulling a crucifix out of my mouth at first. When I was shoo thin this, I had the idea of adding the hands and make it seem more evil. At first I didn't think that I would accomplish it but I gave it a try and I love the execution.
With Worcester Cathedral and the Malvern Hills dominating the background, the Worcester 'Metal Box' works to Bescot trip can be seen near the start of its journey. Of note is the fact that the works, which opened in 1931, possessed the last rail connected freight terminal in Worcestershire. Rail services ceased in 2012, with the Metal Box facility, a long term producer of tins for (amongst other users) the food industry, closing totally shortly thereafter.
