ODC - Shadowed, the clutter of my kitchen lost in the shadows.
Busy times and no mojo at the moment.
This sculpture by David Mach in Kingston was commissioned in 1988 as part of the landscaping for the new Relief Road, and is called Out of Order, and was described by the author as "anti-minimalist" (Wikipedia)

Although there seems to be no formal "plural version" or collective noun for a group of chefs, I think a group of chefs should be called 'a tasting'.
This group/'tasting' of chefs is actually performing a formal tasting of new dessert dishes to be served on the 'Spectrum of the Seas' cruise ship.
[This shot was captured on 10 March 2020, just days before Covid-19 ruined the cruise ship industry. On 19 March 2020, another cruise ship called the 'Ruby Princess' was allowed to dock in Sydney after a round trip to New Zealand. 28 passengers from that ship would later die from Covid-19, from over 800 infections on-board.
My understanding is that the ship in my image, 'Spectrum of the Seas', did not record a single case of Covid-19 before operations were suspended.
I really feel for these guys. In this image, they are building their careers, vying to be "the best of the best". Just a few weeks later, their chosen career may be in tatters.]
The Australian domestic cruise ship industry (ie, with no visits to international ports) is currently scheduled to re-start in March, 2021. But with more virulent Covid-19 strains being identified throughout the world, and ever tighter restrictions on travel being imposed, ....?

Cliche Saturday
There isn't a lot of green in my yard at the moment, so thought I'd use my neighbour's yard as a back drop.
Sorry for not commenting on each and every one of your lovely photos, but we are so busy with the move. Thanks so much everyone!
Had no idea what to shoot for my 365 project today, so, when in doubt, shoot Humphrey. With a camera, obviously.
thanks for all your lovely comments, favs views . . . as always George is the star :) Happy ST Andrews day !!!!

As visitors to London will know, this high-tech chemical works is actually the headquarters of the Lloyds of London insurance market. All of it's services are on the outside of the building, which must make it a bundle of fun to maintain - but it won architectural awards, so that's alright then. It is apparently a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior. Personally I liked the high speed lifts with their blue lights on the south side of the building, and red on the north.
yup...it's yellow...actually two yellows...sort of...if you see what I mean...I think I'll stop before I dig this hole any deeper...

Eggs…nature's perfect food, so versatile. They are wonderful photo subjects too.
I found an interesting link on the history of Easter Eggs and the tradition of colouring them:

Colouring these in post-processing was trickier than I thought…but fun. 😊
I like the composition of this shot of the commuters leaving central railway station to make their way into our busy city.

Built in 1940, Locomotive 6167 was one of 203 “Northern” locomotives used by Canadian National Railways (CN) for passenger and freight service. No. 6167 was based in the Moncton, New Brunswick area and, during the Second World War, it hauled troops and supplies to the eastern ports.
On July 6, 1943 at 3:18 p.m., 6167 was involved in a full-speed head-on collision with Locomotive 6166, killing three and injuring many others. Damage to 6167 was extensive but, due to a critical war-time shortage of locomotives, it was repaired and continued in service until 1960, when CN replaced all of its steam engines with diesel engines.
Most photographed locomotive
No. 6167 was given a new lease on life when CN repurposed the locomotive for special excursion trips. Between 1960 and 1964, it carried about 40,000 passengers on popular pleasure trips throughout Ontario, becoming known as Canada’s “most photographed locomotive.”
