From a recent family dinner. Yes, it's true. Any way you slice it, vegetables have a sense of humour. Actually, I was trying to decide if it's a heart, or Mickey Mouse.
Have just got back after a couple of days away. I'm feeling really good as I am going on holiday soon. The sun is shining here this morning, therfore in honour of the good old fashioned British holiday I thought that I would post this final image before I go away.
The image was processed twice, a colour version in Photoshop and a B&W version in Silva Effex.
The images were blended and "colour popped" in Photoshop, where various layers were applied for levels, saturation, contrast and blur.

Waiting for my train at the station was pretty boring,so I decided to snap away on people passing by..
Original full colour photo. I submitted a version of this photo that was edited to show just three original colours in what had become an otherwise black & white photo, for the "Smile on Saturday" group theme: "Selective Multicolours".
A number of people requested seeing the full colour original: here it is!

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you!
The first tramway in Lisbon entered service on 17 November 1873, as a horsecar line. On 30 August 1901, Lisbon's first electric tramway commenced operations. Within a year, all of the city's tramways had been converted to electric traction.
Up until 1959, the network of lines was further developed, and in that year it reached its greatest extent. At that time, there was a total of 27 tram lines in Lisbon, of which six operated as circle lines. As the circle lines operated in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions, each with its own route number, it is more correct to speak of a total of 24 tram routes, all of them running on 900 mm (2 ft 11 7⁄16 in) narrow gauge tram lines.
The construction of the Lisbon Metro and the expansion of the bus system began the slow decline of the network.
The five remaining lines only operates in the southern centre and west of the city. Despite the relevant tourist attraction, those lines are still very important because of sections of the city's topography can only be crossed by small trams. Tram 15 also connects the entire western river front of the city to the centre and allows a better flow of passengers with the bus system towards an area that still is not served by the metro.

Three stories: Variations on a sin theme 1.) I see stuff like this a lot in my dreams, so I decided it should at least be doing something useful while I figure out what it means. 2.) I've tried to keep my sins organized over the years. That way I can correct it quickly if I find I'm missing out on something good. 3.) This box could probably put a curse on someone who believed in that stuff, like a burglar maybe. Personally, I don't believe in curses, but I don't think I'd take anything from a box that looked like this either just to be safe.

It's always interesting to see the suburban architecture, especially in malls. This was shot at Markville mall in Markham, Ontario. I used to live about a 10 minutes drive. Now the closest mall to me is Yorkdale, which is a 10 minute walk.

I am having such a great time photographing these beautiful birds!
Scattered across the city like relics from a bygone era, Edinburgh’s police boxes have long since retired from active duty. Originally installed from 1932 onwards, these cast-iron sentinels were once part of a highly organised communications network for patrolling officers. Most were designed by City Architect Ebenezer MacRae and manufactured by Carron Ironworks of Falkirk — the same foundry famous for producing everything from cannons to cookware.
Each box was a tiny outpost: equipped with a phone line to headquarters, a chair, a kettle, and a modest sink. That sink — often dated to the early 1930s — served a multi-purpose role: for washing up, grabbing a quick drink, or more dubiously, as a makeshift urinal. The boxes didn’t include a proper toilet, so officers on the beat had to make do, armed only with a bottle of bleach and a stiff upper lip.
On winter nights, the boxes offered slight relief from the cold with a one-bar electric fire or oil heater. They also doubled as secure holding spots for the occasional drunken troublemaker until backup arrived.
Most of these boxes have now been sold off and found new lives — as coffee kiosks, tour guide hubs, or simply as curiosities parked on street corners. Their sirens are long gone, but they remain a unique feature of the city’s architectural and policing heritage.
As one local site reports, there’s even a rumour from the 1970s — when female officers began using the boxes — that one unfortunate woman managed to break the sink. Whether that’s fact or just a cheeky bit of gallows humour from the boys in blue remains delightfully unclear.
I’m lazy…
You will have noticed that, since the end of my last 365 project (a photo a day for a year) some 21 months ago,there has been a severe drop off in the amount of photography I have been doing because I haven’t had the push of getting out there every day…so I have started a new 365 project today.
I’m not hugely enamoured by the picture I have taken, indeed, I’m slightly embarrassed by the cliched use of selective colour on this shot…but I have got out there with my camera and taken some pictures and that, after all, was the aim.
Equilibre (French for ‘balance’). A stainless steel ball sits between two rust-coloured steel cubes-one cube provides the base, and the other sits precariously balanced, seemingly defying gravity, on top of the ball.
