Shame on Japan and Denmark and all other countries who are beginning their annual slaughter of whale and dolphin..
Got the courage to watch a documentary called the cove last night and it's horrific but highlights the barbaric butchering of our sea mammals.. SHAME ON YOU JAPAN AND DENMARK..
sorry for the Monday morning rant my friends..
Don't let the name fool you, this is one of Kentucky's most beautiful waterfalls. It flows most of the year, but is most impressive after a good rain. This image was taken in late July with moderate flow.
It's been a good few years since I was last enjoying this view in the Gloucestershire village of Lower Slaughter (my camera back then had film in it!).
Just back from a week in the Cotswolds and glad to report, I found this picturesque village, captured on the the final days of spring, looking exactly as I remember it.
If I was to nominate a location that captures the essence of a quintessential English village, from the ones I have visited, Lower Slaughter would be up there with the best.
This timeless location lies just a few mile south west of Stow-on-the-Wold, just off the Fosse Way Roman road.
The crystal clear River Eye flows through the centre of the village, adding even further to its charm.
The majority of the buildings in this view date from the 16th and 17th centuries, built using Cotswold limestones.
Although there is are a couple of hotels, there are no shops. Indeed, a few years back, the Parish Council decided to oppose someone wanting to sell ice creams from an icebox tricycle during the warmer months, six months of the year. Among the arguments against such a proposal were that the increased footfall would prevent the grass from growing and children could climb on the trike and fall into the nearby river.
As for the slightly macabre-sounding name of the village, it is thought to originate from the Old English term 'slough' meaning 'wet land'.
Thankfully, when I visited on the first official day of summer, it wasn't 'bin day' and so not a single wheelie bin to be seen!
On the banks of the River Eye in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds village of Lower Slaughter, the former school building.
The village school opened in 1863, but it was closed in 1931.
Today, it serves as a community hall.
After the tragic events of Order 66, Jedi Knight Siadem Forte returned with some others to the planet of Kashyyyk to search out for Master Yoda. Shortly afterwards, Darth Vader arrived to seek out the Jedi that were hiding there. They ordered that the Wookies reveal the Jedi, but instead the Wookies attacked. In order to stop the massacre of the Wookies, the Jedi revealed themselves. Forte and another Jedi attacked Lord Vader, but they were no match and were slaughtered.
Hope you all enjoy this post! Haven't done a larger Star Wars build in a while, but I am working on a very large scale castle moc and weekly updates are being posted on my instagram.
A ‘noisy’ mono picture of the Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter.
It looks much better having been ‘denoised’ using Topaz denoise software. Which resulted in a very acceptable mono Print which I am entering for camera club competitions.
Be interesting to see how it does.

....or to give it its full title, The Old Village Hall in the inappropriately sounding Lower Slaughter in The Cotswolds.
In the shadows of the harvest moon, where fear and fascination intertwine, we carve our own destiny, one scream at a time.
The beautiful Cotswold village of lower slaughter.
Usually I don't like heavy photo editing, but the residents of this village clearly also don't like their houses being photographed either, so have put big fluorescent yellow signs and "no photography" signs all over the windows etc. So once I started cloning stuff out, I didn't stop, so the signs, pictures, warning notices, telegraph poles, people all fell foul of my clonestamp tool.
'The Spirit Of Slaughter' - ww1 trenches, 'Exotic Slaughter Series' - So I managed to finish my detailed illustration today, based on my train sketch, here it is in glorious colour! The spirit of slaughter on top of his wooden throne, made from the detritus of the war sitting in the trenches, I haven't created a full colour finished piece like this for a while, well since January! :) I was planning a wall today, but that never happened, this did instead.... new walls in London to come next week!

Upper Slaughter is a village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, 4 miles south west of Stow-on-the-Wold.
Another rural Cotswold scene captured on a recent visit to Gloucestershire.
The weather Gods must have been smiling on us because prior to the visit, I'd been finding it hard to be enthusiastic about a week away in what had been a prolonged period of predominantly cold, cloudy and often rainy days. In fact, since returning back home, the weather has continued in that same fashion. Never known a year quite like this one.
So, this composition of a perfect summer's day in Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire makes me smile when I look out of the window and see the rain coming down!
