This round barn was built by the Ehlers family of Lancaster County Nebraska. The barn is located between the city of Lincoln and town of Bennet. Some of the materials for the barn came from old street car rails and the state capitol building in Lincoln that was being disassembled at the time this barn was being constructed.
The merry-go-round is a permanent fixture in Garema Place in Canberra. It was busier than I've ever seen it on Saturday evening during the National Multicultural Festival.
273rd day of 2012. Sarah went out shopping with some work friends today. I stayed at home and tried to get my last essay done. In the end I got very little done and by late afternoon I was feeling rather dizzy with a bit of stomach pain.
So a quick shot of the full moon will have to do for today. We will see what tomorrow brings. I really need to get on with my essay as early as possible as it is my brothers 21st and we are going round my Mum's for dinner.
Just saw an image I liked and thought I'd give the technique a go myself... so here's Planet Saxifrage....
The second half of my 30 for 30 challenge outfits.
I find it totally amusing that I didn't zoom in to #19 as closely as I did to the others, so I look like a tiny shrunken version of myself. (Yes, I am alarmingly easy to amuse at times!)
My favourites are 18 and 27, but I'd love to hear what others think...
This “round” rock, for which the City of Round Rock, Texas is named, was a well-known marker on the Chisholm Trail indicating a low-water crossing point on Brush Creek in Central Texas. The Chisholm Trail was one of several major routes along which cattle were driven from south Texas to the railheads in Kansas in the late 1800’s. The rock is located about 200 yards from IH-35, which roughly follows the route of the Chishom Trail through Central Texas. Thousands of people travel it every day without realizing the historical significance of the route they're taking. For more information on Round Rock and the Chisholm Trail, see www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/her03 and www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/ayc02.
"This is the last cowboy song,
the end of a hundred year waltz.
Voices sound sad as they're singing along,
another piece of America's lost.
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs.
They blow by his marker never slowing to read,
Like living and dying was all he did.
This is the last cowboy song..."

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly - Circles
So, I had mentioned on someone's photo that I was having difficulty sorting through all my ideas this week and settling on just one. SO, I took the easy (well kinda) way out and just chose them all. I had this idea last night and when I woke up I just started shooting as many circles as I could before I left for church (I actually caused us to be a little late )-:
Anyways, I took probably close to a hundred but when I put them in the computer and saw them close, I had to delete a few because the angle was off or it was blurry.
WIT: There was about 45 minutes worth of square cropping done in Lightroom before I even exported them as jpegs. I knew I was going to have to make all these images the same size for the collage to work. So, I found the smallest one and in CS4 I shrunk all the others to it's size (actually 500x500 pixels to be exact).
Then I created an action that resized them and duplicated them into my blank 4500x4500 workspace. I couldn't figure how to make the action go on to the next photo by itself so I had to do that 81 times, but still easier than doing it all manually.
Once they were all in the same canvas, I started moving them around, and fortunately PS has a feature where the pictures sort of snap into place. Without that, I never would have had the patience to line them all up separately.
I tried to move them around so there was variety but with 81 unnamed layers, I didn't want to get them too out of order. Anyways, that's pretty much it.
There should be a cash prize if anyone could go through and figure out what they all are, but I am broke so don't look to me for it ;-)
....age 2 years and 10 months.
Mum made all my clothes and this was my favourite dress with it's puffed sleeves and collar. The fabric was tiny red checks with this lovely border of nursery rhyme characters in brown, red and green. My socks were white and my sandals were red with little white bows.
The photo is not in good condition and is tiny.
On looking through old photos I see I've always got my eyes closed or my head is looking down, wonder if I've always been sensitive to light?
