363/365 - Persistence
1/250th f2.8 ISO320
200mm
Had a bit of ride after work with Marcus and his two young ripper kids and just as we were about to leave, we saw this amazing glowing sun so couldnt resist but get some end of evening photo kicks. This one was actually as packing up but something about it I really liked.

Day 92 of 365.
Previously titled couldabeen Day 92 this pic seemed to be preferred by my Flickr friends. Who am I to stand in the way of what the people want. Thus it has transcended from couldabeen to now is my Day 92.
It is a balmy 10 degrees C today, and these flowers have no plans to pack it in anytime soon. The light purple ones are a wildflower, I believe, heart shaped aster. They are always the last to bloom. The white ones are a cultivated flower, look like a tiny mum, but I don't know what they are called. These bloom early and keep on blooming, and reseed themselves like crazy.
The stones are from right here, a lovely thick, hard layer of stone with lots of fossils, about 300 million years old, and already nicely broken up into giant brick shapes.
Once I saw this tree I knew I had to get a shot of it. This is also from Sandefjord where my in-laws has a cottege and this tree was standing on the top of a hill, alone watching over the whole place.
This was taken during the sunset, though the sun is setting right behind me so I didn't get to capture a lot of colors here, but I think the sky turned out pretty dramatic with this long exposure.
It turned out so much better then I thought it would so I'm very happy with the result even though it's not the kind of picture I normaly take :)

Thank you for viewing :)
When the conditions are favorable and allow for a pretty solid chance of capturing a great image you’ll find me out shooting the night sky. I always head out with high hopes knowing that I ......

Persistence Works, 21 Brown Street, Sheffield S1 2BS
1998-2001.
By Feilden Clegg Bradley.
A purpose-built fine art and crafts studio for Yorkshire ArtSpace Society.
The building is by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, and as their website observes:
Persistence Works was the UK’s first purpose-built fine art and crafts studio complex. Located in Sheffield, it provides a permanent base for 89 artists. The client was Yorkshire ArtSpace, a charitable organisation supporting artists and craftspeople by providing studio space at affordable rents, while offering a wide range of visual arts events and activities to the community.
The project was part funded from the National Lottery through the Arts Council of England and the European Regional Development Fund, although the intention was that this low maintenance, low energy facility would provide sufficient studio space to enable it to become financially independent.
The site is a prominent one, situated at the inter-section between the cultural and industrial developments within Sheffield’s old cutlery industries’ quarter. The function of the building is a synthesis of the two aspects of the cultural and industrial sectors; a synthesis which is also reflected in its form.
The building demonstrates innovation in our use of materials. It explores the use of concrete and the design and method of construction were carefully researched to achieve the highest quality affordable finish. The cast in situ concrete is contrasted with lightweight, frameless glass elements. The building incorporates a number of artists’ works, with the primary collaboration a “floating wall” to the main frontage.

Yorkshire ArtSpace
Museum/Gallery
Yorkshire ArtSpace is a project established to provide studio space for artists which opened in October 2001 at the Persistence Works building in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The Yorkshire ArtSpace Society, originally established in Sheffield in 1977 by a group of artists, aimed to provide accessible studio space. At that time, the Society was based at Washington Works, but only on a short term lease. Persistence Works was designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. It is the UK’s first purpose built studio complex for artists and craftspeople. The project has created studio space for sixty eight practicing artists and craftspeople in addition to exhibition, project, education and office spaces, The building won an RIBA Yorkshire White Rose award and a Civic Trust Award Commendation. It was also a finalist in the Prime Ministers’ Better Public Building Awards in 2002.
I can now fit all of my unsorted bits in the two giant bins, and I've reclaimed a major horizontal surface!

The previous print I offered on eBay was sold so I am offering another. This one is of a window that refuses to bow to the pressures on it.
The Bromoil prints I am offering on eBay give 100% of the proceeds to the American Red Cross. I pay shipping, eBay and Paypal fees.
If you have ever wanted a Bromoil print and would like to see the money go to a good cause then please consider donating.

2003 Bradford entered a bid for 2008 European Capital of Culture.
The bid campaign slogan ‘One Landscape, Many Views’ appeared across the district and on one of Bradford Royales. Bradford was not successful. The bus went on for a fairly long life and even managed to be repainted into the firstgroup corporate livery at the time, albeit it was operating in Edinburgh by then. Everything in this view is now history except the old building on the left. Busmiles...ahhh !

Having been convinced he’s no concert pianist, Stormtrooper Bruce digs deep to find some hidden talent for the upcoming talent contest being held during Festival Alley. He knows he can bake, but what else can he possibly do?
Stormtrooper Bruce: OK, guys, I know we’re all excited about movie night tonight, but I want to see what you think about this? I’ve been practicing weeks and I think I’ve finally nailed it.
TK-1110: Dude! Give it a rest. Just bake something amazing the P will love and leave it at that.
Fett: Yeah. I’ve heard what you’ve been putting these guys through. You should still have a ton of that X-o’-tiQ chocolate left. And you know who loves chocolate!
TK-432: Wait? You-Know-Who? Is Lord Voldemort a judge?
STB: OK, guys. Prepare to be wowed!
Hello, Mr. Yoda. Say, have you heard - we’ve been trying to find those droids for ages. Any ideas?
STB using his Yoda voice - Do or do not. There is no try.
STB: Mr. Yoda, in you’re opinion, can anyone join the Dark Side?
STB using his Yoda voice: Fear is the path to the dark side, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
STB: Mr Yoda, Can you teach me any Jedi mind tricks?
STB using his Yoda voice: You must unlearn what you have learned.
TK-432: Wow! That was awesome. I never saw your lips move!
TK-1110: Not to rain on your parade, but the whole point of being a ventriloquist is being able to see that your lips don’t move. Um, you’re wearing a helmet, dude.
Fett: I get it. That’s what makes this so funny. A Ventriloquist Trooper? Hilarious! But you should know - it’s Master Yoda, not Mr. I can think of at least two judges on this ship who might take off points.
STB using his Yoda voice: Always two there are, no more, no less.
Chewie: Graaagh, yawllol! Trrrqlargh!
TK-432: I’m so loving this! No paint, no musical torture, no Medic Droids. Let’s get on with the movies, unwrap our gifts, and eat!
