Built on the stub of a windmill that dates back to 1803 all the rooms in the house are either compliantly round or semi circular. The house itself stands in Pipe Passage in the town of Lewes. The name Pipe Passage was given to this area of the town because it's where there were many kilns in use producing clay pipes in the 18th Century
this image has been taken with a selfmade little pinhole camera build from only an ordinary matchbox, two 35mm film spools, some cardboard, some aluminium foil and lots of duct tape - it was inspired by alspix (http://www.blog.co.uk/index.php/alspix/2005/12/31/matchbox_pinhole~428481) and is part of my constant little research of how far it is possible to remove all the nowadays usual high tech overhead of photography while still being able to create the images i want ... this image is from the xmas market in front of the former 'palast der republik' ('palace of the republic') in mitte by the way, berlin, matchbox pinhole camera, fuji superia 100

I was bored. Waiting for the car to finish its service and MOT seemed to take ages. I'd already bin for a wander in the park and snapped a few insipid selfies in shop windows, i was feeling tired, uninspired and frankly a bit fed up. Then i spotted a little service road between two shops, the kind of pokey little hole i might be expected to squeeze a large lorry into if i was working. I had a little nose around and bingo! This was worth getting the proper camera out for!

Bit of a change up with a round in Welly Central. Been raining all week, but a nice day for the race.
Had a bug going around all week, so I didn't feel up to riding, but went and got some snaps and a coffee. Shame as it looked a really fun loop!
Everyone's aiming for a rut right by this pole to avoid the worst of this bog.
pushed, r11 ... my very first entry!
for my first round i was paired with "meshl".
her stream is wonderfully eclectic, a joy to peruse ... do have a peek!!
her challenge for me was to take an abstract photo of architecture, nature, or whatever subject i'd like as long as it wasn't instantly recognizable and wasn't something heavily manipulated into an abstract in post processing.
this was a little more difficult than i thought it would be but nevertheless,
here is what i ended up with .... and you wouldn't believe what it is!!
i hope this is suitable ...
i really enjoyed this challenge,
thanks meshl and thanks linda for the tip .... :)
This is Round Bald as seen from Jane Bald along the Appalachian Trail. That’s the trail leading off to a stand of flame azalea (the orange-colored bushes on the left slope of Round Bald). While some balds of this region were de-forested for farming, most occur naturally, much to the chagrin of scientists who just can’t figure out why.
The prominent feature of any bald are the grassy meadows along the mountain peaks, but just as with any mountain of the Blue Ridge, the flora of a bald is so much more diverse than just grass and wildflowers. The foreground here shows witch hazel, Catawba rhododendron, blueberries, mountain ash, and balsam. Blueberries, azalea, and rhododendron, amongst the showiest of anything that grows here, are all in the heath family, and hence these balds are known as heath balds. By the way, the mountain ash (seen at the back of the foreground with white flower clusters) grow in North Carolina only at elevations above 5000 feet… this gives you some idea of the elevation here.
Speaking of elevation, that’s Roan Mountain obscured beyond Round Bald. Earlier this day, I was photographing flowers along Cloudland at Roan. Actually, I was waiting to take pictures of flowers… waiting between gusts of wind for fleeting stillness and people. I needed the wind to stop and people to keep moving, which invariably works just the opposite of what I wish (the bane of my existence as a nature photographer). At one point, some fella stopped right in front of the camera perched firmly on a tripod (which means, “I’m busy” in photographerese) and asked “Waiting for the Sun?” “Not exactly”, I replied… I didn’t have the heart to tell him. “Is it always this foggy here?” Trying to cut the volley short, I told him “It’s never foggy here!” “What do call this, then?” One last answer… “We’re standing at over 6000 feet above sea level. I call these clouds. It is Cloudland, after all.” “Oh!” was his final response, and I got my subject back.
Those clouds look a bit juicy. In Southern parlance, we’re fixin’ to get wet. I’d better pack this camera up and get back to the trail. Later…
After shooting the train passing underneath us I popped over to the other side of the bridge to get the going away shot. The power was a bit smokey which is why there is the haze, but dang did it smell good!
