The public footpath from the Suffolk village of Monewden south to Chimers Lane where we were staying came as a complete surprise to me, since it passed through some splendid grounds before crossing fields. This was one of two avenues leading to the house which wasn't really visible from the path or the main village road.
I'm glad I didn't cut my braid. The fourth one was also the last one. This morning, they ate from my hand again. They don't seem to be angry with me, but they don't trust the sleeping stable any more and sleep in the shade of trees.
This blue hour photograph with colourful reflections was taken from the boulevard near to Singapore Flyer looking towards Singapore’s Central Business District. Two bridges can be seen crossing the picture: Benjamin Sheares Bridge (in the foreground) and Helix Bridge for pedestrians (behind). The iconic buildings behind the bridges include The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands (on the left), ArtScience Museum (at the centre) and high-rise buildings in the Central Business District.
Somehow, people rarely seem to look at the time a photo was taken (even though Flickr shows it rather prominently now). So I thought it might be best to post all the photos of my sheep before the shearing at once. Usually I post with a delay of up to 2 months.
...Sheep shearing in Co. Mayo, Ireland. A professional can shear a sheep in under five minutes, and charges three Euro per animal. An average sheep produces two kilos of wool, worth all of 40 cents at market. Shocking.
Mungo Woolshed, Lake Mungo, NSW, Australia
This was originally a 30 stand shed in its heyday. More about it here: www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/historic-buildi...
I've been shearing the two younger sheep today. The photos were made right after I started. When we let the first one (Lamm) run free, she was jumping and started a sheep race with the two older ones that were still outside. We'll try to catch the older ones tomorrow. But now they know we're up to no good. Evil humans. I got no photos of the shorn ones yet. Some time after we left the stable, the sheep went back inside. I was full of wool, blue spray, sheep poo and sheep pee and had to clean myself first. It was my first electric shearing. That sounds wrong. It was the first time I was shearing sheep with an electric shearing machine.
Contrary to rumors, I have not been abandoned or lost in the canyons of the southwest. Still exploring and staying out of trouble, mostly :)
This is in the canyons surrounding Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park.

shed wall, not much shearing here lately. like most country places, left uninhabited or used, they are very quick to decay
Constructed during World War II.
Due to wartime shortages of building materials, the shed is clad with flattened kerosene tins.
Today I'll start a new series on scenes of rural life. All the shots in this series were taken within an easy 30 minute drive from Launceston. That's the beauty of a regional city like this, you're never far from country life.
Our first photograph today is a duotone of an old shearing shed just after a huge downpour of rain. You can see all that mud in the pen.
Glencoe shearing shed lays silent - a far reach from the heady days that saw 50,000 sheep per year pass through.

Throwback May 2018. I woke up to try to catch the sun rise over Lake Toba, one of the largest cratera lake in the world created by a huge volcanic eruption ages ago.
To get the shear size of the lake (within the large island of Sumatra), the island within the lake is bigger than the island of Singapore!
