A lovely autumn day last Sunday and a trip to Cenarth Falls. here were some lovely reflections on the River Teify below the falls. Tried a few low shutter speed shots of the falls
.....on Blue Lake, St Bathans.
More of the Blue Lake and its amazing reflections.
In 1864, Kildare Hill loomed 120 metres over St Bathans. Within a few years, gold mining reduced it to a 68m deep pit that is now the Blue Lake, the deepest mining hold in the Southern Hemisphere. From the 1880s, miners used hydraulic technologies, which rather like a vacuum cleaner sucked gravel out of the pit for gold recovery. Although a considerable amount of gold was mined at St Bathans, fears that the town would be undermined ended operations in 1934. The huge hole was left to fill with water draining off surrounding cliffs bringing with it minerals which normally form the intense blue colour of the lake. Today the Blue Lake is popular for camping, walks, swimming and other water sports.
St Bathans, Central Otago, NZ
Day 4 of our two week holiday in Central Otago, NZ.
Captured at Hellestøstranden, Rogaland.
The setting sun gave beautiful reflections in the wet sand on the beach.
A heavy thunder shower had just passed adding a dramatic sky to frame the lighthouse.
In a letter dated 5th November 1834 the Donaghadee Harbour Commissioners informed the Ballast Board that they were prepared to exhibit a light on the south pier and requested the Board to take it under their care. Trinity House were written to for their concurrence but they promptly declined to sanction, referring the Ballast Board to page 75 of a report from the Select Committee of the House of Commons in connection with light dues. Towards the end of the following year, 1835, the Treasury approached the Board about Donaghadee Lighthouse and the Treasury were informed that the Board was willing to take over the light on receiving a formal order to that effect from the Treasury. The latter replied on 11th January 1836 authorising the Ballast Board to take charge of the light, which they accordingly did, and the light was established later in 1836 with a fixed character, that is non flashing showing red mainly to seaward and white over the harbour and towards Belfast Lough.
The tower is built of cut limestone, fluted, and in its early days was unpainted in natural grey colour. Today the tower, including the lantern and dome, is painted white with a black plinth, a decision which was taken some time between 1869 and 1875.
A dwelling was suggested for the keeper in 1841 and land near the root of the pier was rented from the Board of Works, but the ground became a yard for maintenance of local Donaghadee Sound buoys and the dwelling was not built until 1864. In the mean time the keeper continued to live in a house in the town rented by the Ballast Board.
A serious fire damaged the optic and lantern on the 12th May 1900 and a temporary light had to be shown whilst a new optic was obtained and the damaged lantern repaired. This was completed by September of the same year.
Conversion to unwatched electric was effected from 2nd October 1934, Donaghadee thus having the distinction of being the first Irish Lighthouse to be converted to electric. Chaine Tower at Larne followed the next year and Tuskar in 1938.
The character of the new light was Isophase, white every four seconds and the red sector was discontinued. The power was considerably increased from less than 1,000 to 20,000 candelas.
A standby acetylene light was fitted to the lamp changer which would come into operation automatically if the lamp or electric supply should fail.
In April 1967 an automatic standby to mains generator was installed in the base of the tower, a red sector was re-established (326° to shore) and a new lamp changer with two electric lamps was fitted into the optic. The standby acetylene was discontinued. These alterations were in conjunction with the withdrawal of the Skulmartin lightvessel and establishment of a high focal plane buoy in its stead.
During 1950 the Ministry of Commerce approached the Commissioners for permission to erect a siren fog signal to be sounded when local, mainly fishing boats, would be returning to the harbour during fog. This was granted together with Board of Trade sanction and the siren was mounted on the lantern balcony railing. However it did not come into operation until 1953 and is controlled from the Harbour Board Office.
Reflections....the architecture of Jean Nouvel and Frank Gehry.
"Vision Machine"....this is the term Jean Nouvel used to describe his building on 11th Ave. in Chelsea. Here you see it reflected within the glass facade of Frank Gehry's neighboring IAC Building.

Out walking this morning and saw this reflection in Minnehaha Creek from a bridge. Unusual ice crystals. Best viewed as large as you can make it. The physical area this covered was about 6 by 4 feet.
Played with some fruit here.Pomagranate and seeds are on the mirrow and blue is the reflection of the sky.That was fun to do and I had a snack in front om me when I got hungry:) Visit @ www.emmelephotography.com
Just another reflection. This house is located on the grounds of "Kasteel Rosendael" in Rozendaal.
I like it even more than the Castle located there...
Reflections of Angkor was photographed during a recent trip to Cambodia in the fall of 2006. Angkor Wat is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built for king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. The largest and best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre — first Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, then Buddhist — since its foundation. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a national symbol for Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple mountain and the later galleried temples. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the gods in Hindu mythology. Angkor Wat is also the location in which Angelina Jolie filmed the The first of the Tomb Raider films.

It's been a long time since I have made a doll outfit! I had some spare time to do this dress and I am excited to post it!
I am pretty pleased with the turnout. This is just about the first doll outfit I have ever sewn using the sewing machine. The other outfits made with fabric were hand-sewn.
Now that I have learned how to sew, I will be doing more and more fabric outfits instead of knit and crochet.
I found this fabric on clearance at Walmart and it was rolled up, not revealing the circle design. When sifting through my fabric, I saw the navy fabric and had an idea for it (which I don't remember now) but then when I unrolled it I immediately thought up this idea. The dress is based off of a circle skirt pattern. I love the look of circle skirts and how they drape! I cut around the circles and embroidered the simple line details with metallic silver embroidery floss.
The back is closed with a snap.
I title this dress "Reflections" because it reflects the mistakes I make but learn from (there is a little screw up in the line embroidery in the back) and because it has that flowy water kind of feel to it because of the blues and black lines.

Analog's Pulse was a three day film photography event hosted by Aperture: A Photography and Variety Store in the Tremont area of Cleveland, Ohio on June 29, 30 and July 1. In addition to the fabulous job Scott Meivogel (owner of Aperture) did of hosting this great event, it was also sponsored by A & A Studios, Film Photography Project and the Old School Photo Lab. These images were taken as part of the cross process photo walk on Saturday.
Taken at West Beach along Lake Michigan. I was fascinated with the reflections in the water. This one is my son's reflection
Water is one of our most precious resources on Earth, and while walking through Las Vegas I was reminded of how much water and energy is consumed here on a daily basis. Here the lights from Paris are reflected in the Bellagio fountain waters, a constant reminder that it takes a lot of energy to run a city that never sleeps.
