I walk by the same touristy stalls in Chinatown every day, to and from my office, and often just ignore their calls for me to come and have a look at whatever they are selling. I've got a soft spot for these little jars though, I love glass art, and if not for the aggressive staff pushing me to buy one, I would probably spend a little time now and then admiring these more. I could not help but notice the staff were missing from this particular stall that day, so decided to take a few shots before they returned.
I thought this might of been Dead Moll's Fingers due to the lack of white tips but I'm starting to think it's Candle-snuff Fungi without the 'snuff'.
The Lorillard Snuff Mill now known as the Lillian and Amy Goldman Stone Mill, is the oldest existing tobacco manufacturing building in the United States. It was built around 1840 next to the Bronx River to supplement an earlier building of the same function. The schist that makes up its walls was quarried locally. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977 and is located inside the New York Botanical Garden, itself an NHL(Wikipedia)
Xylaria hypoxylon (about 30 mm tall) growing on an old tree stump with possibly immature Dryad's saddle behind? I have seen mature specimens on this stump before. I was kneeling in the leaf litter to get this low angle & got soaked! What we do to get a half decent image photo eh?
Before there were huge interstate highways, America had byways. In those days, tobacco companies used to pay farmers to advertise on the side of their barns to reach motorists.
These old barn ads are not easy to find nowadays.
BTW, chewing snuff causes mouth cancer.
I've been really busy lately.
I had no time to take pictures, it's already 2am and I'm exhausted.
So I'm using my work for today's picture. hahahaha
This is a poster that I made for a horror short film called "Snuff Said" (directed by Julio Wong).
I used the frame of the movie that he sent me and I made a composition with this texture picture I took back in Brazil.
I like the way it turned out!
Ohhhh, and I forgot to mention that tomorrow I'll be hosting a Photography Walk. It's my first event on the MeetUp website. I'm very excited. So if you are in London and are free tomorrow evening come and join us! =D

At the end of a working day, Latte will always be waiting for me when I return home. Of course, his jumping and meowing is to be let out of the house but he would be looking forward to his chin scratch and be my shadow for the following 30 minutes.
It's good to be home when there's a cat in it. :-)
Alongside of the Bronx River with a view of the last virgin forest in New York City, this building is where the Lorillard Tobacco Co. once ground up roses and tobacco to make snuff.
For many years there was a family owned restaurant and restrooms for the public in the building on New York Botanical Garden grounds. There was also a huge riverside outdoor dining area with beautiful views of the forest and often there was music on the weekends.
But then they renovated the mill and changed the name to "Stone Mill" to pretend that tobacco never existed. The interior was redesigned to accommodate parties for rich people and the building was closed off so the public will never again be allowed inside.

Down at the Garrett Snuff Mills there is a partical wall still standing with wonderful arched window openings. They were boarded up but on my last two visits the boards have been replaced with these decortive metal reeds.

The river is currently very high due to the high levels of rain we've had recently.

Well. I always try to give you a bit of variety and today it is antique treen. "What's that?" I hear you ask. Well, the word 'Treen' is derived from the word 'tree' (Heh, who would have guessed it?) and is a term used to describe wooden household objects, all turned from one piece of wood e.g. a bowl, plate, gingerbread mould, and spoons, always having a function.
Nowadays when we talk about Antique Treen it tends to cover all small wooden items including antique snuff boxes, candle stands, spice towers, etc. often made from several pieces of turned wood.
When a piece of wood has been painstakingly turned or carved, handled, polished and loved over a few hundred years old, it can develop a wonderful colour and patina and becomes an irresistible (irresistible??) piece of Antique Treen.
Well, until two minutes ago I didn't know any of that, and I copied all the above from some antique dealers web page.
But my parents did some antique dealing in their early retirement and my mum always used to pull out little pieces she came across that she just 'liked' as fun, or pretty objects which she would slip us as Christmas or birthday presents when we already had all the usual things we could want. I noticed these three snuff boxes sat on an old writing box in our sitting room. They've been there years, and in the strong winter sunlight they just caught my attention once more.
I only tried snuff twice, once when my grandpa Innes gave me some at about the age of seven. He liked his little jokes and was always being scolded by his wife for teaching his grandsons how to do things they shouldn't. I don't remember how I reacted that first time probably because he had also given us some whisky, but I do remember how my head almost came off at a boozy officer's dinner when I tipped a too generous heap of spicy snuff onto the back of my hand and inhaled with the deepest vacuous sniff I could muster. The reaction was a thoroughly unpleasant experience and forever I wondered what one was supposed to gain from snuff, apart from some nice little wooden treens.

Snuff Mill Lane, Ecclesall Road, Sheffield.
Mural by Phlegm, 2016.
Phlegm was invited to Sheffield along with 15 other local and international artists as part of the Feature Walls mural event.
Incredible Street Art Illustrations by Phlegm.
Another fantastic wall mural by Phlegm. This one is just off Ecclesall Road on Snuff Mill Lane and was painted in October 2016 for Feature Walls.
Phlegm has cleverly integrated the original street art by Bubba 2000 that could originally be found on this wall into his mural. Bubba’s jumping boy can be seen caged in one of the towers towards the centre of the wall. The security alarms on the wall have also been incorporated into his artwork.

Born in North Wales and now residing in Sheffield, UK, cartoonist and illustrator Phlegm is well known for his self-published comics and amazing graffiti/street art. Many of the larger-than-life characters that adorn the walls he spray paints originate from his comics.
Much of his artwork is illustration-based, thus his lack of true graffiti-style lettering may lead some to describe his murals/walls as more cartoon-based art. Regardless of what you may categorize his work as, it is unique and intriguing.
I strongly suggest you visit his site and blog for maximum awesome sauce.

An old abandoned mine on the Isle of Man where lead and silver were mined in the 1800's. Coming home one evening the sea mist/fog was rolling in and I thought the mine would make a good foreground but as you can probably see my idea didn't really work. You can see the mist/fog in the background but its not very clear. So I've decided to produce a HDR and push it a little further than I usually do! I quite like the result and hope you do too. Oh I also added a bit of vignetting because there was nothing to speak of in the sky.
