I'm not quite sure when, why or how this foot-tall stone/ceramic chicken appeared on the mini-roundabout just down the street, but I suspect he/she is too afraid to cross the road, not least because I've yet to meet a Canadian (at least in Vancouver anyway) who has the remotest idea of how to properly navigate a roundabout, even the smallest, traffic-calming kind. Cars come flying out cutting right in front of you, or come to a complete stop part way around, and/or drive the wrong way around them (bless). The times I've nearly been smooshed - both as a driver and as a pedestrian, by people who simply have no clue. Uggghhh. No wonder this poor fella looks terrified and is shedding its shell.
This is a capture I have taken at the zoo at Heidelberg, Germany in October. The Galapagos giant tortoise was grazing on the lawn and the leaves which were falling down from the trees in the enclosure were a welcome snack. This sight inspired me to create a different kind of autumn pic although I have the feeling that I have (slightly) exaggerated the selective colour here. :)
Think I'll leave the title to you guys!
Took this shot ages ago whist enjoying this rather madcap street performance in Covent Garden, London.

These are the berries that your Mum told you not to eat when you was a child.............. mine still has to remind me now not to eat them ;-)
As much as I'd like to pride myself in textbook compositions, I sometimes feel as if the rules are meant to be broken. It’s just a matter of knowing when to break these rules that make them difficult to frame in thought. My goal is for you to see past the lines and curves, and see something meaningful in my work.

Dedicated to Fung, who wrote me a wonderful testimonial~ Thank you !! ^^
A shot from the archive, this puddle made for an interesting subject in the middle of Piccadilly Circus.
I'm not the best at selective colour etc on Photoshop but thought I'd see if I could tone the cones down and I think fading the orange out does improve the look of the High Street! I also lost the red on the flags on the right, so have had to saturate them to bring them back to life!
What are your thoughts?
So this is the 1st camera I ever owned. Its a toy pull the string camera. It talks it says
'"Come on smile"
"watch the birdy!"
"Thats not a smile"
"Say cheese!"
I found it in the attic today because I had to babysit my niece and nephew all day, no time for a creative photo so this is more of a personal one. As I was taking this photo my niece who's 2 kept coming up to me to pull the string :)
Rochester bridge over the River Medway in 2016. This is the southern pedestrian part. Two traffic lanes on the immediate right with the rail part on the northern side. There has been various bridges here since Roman times. The town of Strood is on the west side of the Medway, straight ahead.
We've been seeing what you wanted, got us cornered right now
Fallen asleep from our vanity, might cost us our lives
I hear they're getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And time is running out now
They're coming down the hills from behind
When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created,
I want to be awakened somehow
When we start killing it all will be falling down
From the Hell that we're in
All we are is fading away
When we start killing...
Yes, that really is a real butchers cleaver, yes we were in public woods, yes she could barely hold it with both hands...
Once again one of my children plays a part in the weird ideas that live in my head and are occasionally allowed to escape.

June 2021 TMI Contest ~ Roses, Just Roses.
This colour was too beautiful, not to selectively highlight it!
Ambassador : The iconic Indian car unchanged from 1965 to 2005 until the model & factory at Hindmotor shut down. Still thousands of them are roaming as Yellow Cab of Calcutta.
At it's prime time up to 1990 , this was the most used car for most of Indian who could afford it. All government institutions used it and nothing else.
After 1990 , Economic Liberalization , all kind of foreign cars became available , and the old Ambassador couldn't withstand the competition. In 2005 the sole factory at Hinmotor in West Bengal of the iconic Car closed down.

Below is a little info about Hervey Bay, Queensland Australia
www.facebook.com/The-SmOKing-Camera-Hervey-BaY-davefryer-...
Hervey Bay
bay/ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia.
The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.
Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.
