A view through the squint into the original chapel with a stoup for holding holy water in the foreground at Ightham Mote.
This beautiful 14th century moted manor house is a local National Trust property.
This one was relatively smooth to complete, done in 2-hour session, considering typically we’d go for 4 minimum.
Dual layered with 2 focal points (adjusted midway), using LED saber and fireworks. Chinese calligraphy was hung mid-air using fishing line (squint to see).
Thanks to Jacky for the help and braving the mosquito squadrons.
Happy Chinese New Year everyone.
Ascending from the pitchblack, damp and cold basement maze. A lovely summer morning greets the explorers with a warm wind through the broken panes and, in the distance, the rush of city traffic.... We squint in the bright sun and grin, feeling quite alive.
The B210-Series Datsun, known as the 'Sunny' in some markets, and as the '120Y' in others, including Australia was released in 1973. The model came in a variety of body styles, including sedan, wagons and coupes. Squint, and you can see the Japanese take on the period US coke-bottle styling theme.
The 120Y copped a lot of criticism here in the Australia from the motoring press at the time (and for the next 30 years).
Was it really that bad? Contemporary automotive publications seem to indicate that it was. Slower (and uglier) than the preceding model, the 'extra' styling didn't help either, and kind of indicated that he car had lost some of the former model's modest honesty.
Now, 40-ish years on, you can kind of see where they were going. Add wheels that are a couple of inches taller and wider, and lose a couple of inches from the springs. paint the car is something other than toxic puke, and fit, say the engine from a 200SX, and you'd have a bit of a sleeper. At 910 kg (2000 lb) this is a pretty light car.
Still a bit ugly and worse on the inside.
The wagon model shown here is a close replica of the car owned by my next door neighbours when I was growing up. There car was a little faded by the time I was paying attention, but a brother-from-another-mother match for the E30 Corolla wagon that my family had.

Vacation: Day One: RELAX BEOTCH!
My workday routine is the same every morning: wake up at the crack of @$$, force myself to eat some breakfast, shower, dress, hit the alarm and race to work crossing my fingers there is no traffic. The human body is a remarkable thing; it stores this routine and programs the brain to begin to wake up at the same time without an alarm and readies all body functions to be at high alert during this morning time.
So of course I woke up at the crack of @$$, forced myself to eat breakfast, and then realized to my horror during spoonful of cereal number 10 or so, that I was prepping myself to go to work. WTF! Bad body, bad! So I turned off my emergency second backup clock alarm which was buzzing news about the local traffic situation, and rolled myself into a burritto, and mentally and physically hit the SNOOZE button.
The rest of my day was fantastic. After re-waking at 11am, I went on down to the spa for some MUCH needed pampering and some lunch. Then it was off for a 6 hour shopping spree, then I went for some icecream at the local icecream shop which I haven't done in years (I ended up buying a pint of sweet cream for the road which was and is the shiznit of all icecremes), then it was off to a movie, and then my day faded into night.
I took this pic at 6pm. At 6 the sun was literally blazing into my corneas. I'm pretty sure my eyes are actually closed in this. Some lady in the mall told me that the weather man said it was 103 degrees and if we hit 104 we would officially be hitting record temps. All I know is THE REASON for my 6 hour shopping spree, as I've mentioned before, I don't "do" colors, but this outfit was nearly the death of me, so I bought everything sleeveless, strapless, open back, nothing dark or black...I just couldn't take the heat. Especially for where I'm going tomorrow :o).
Assembling 'zine from the noughties Issue 40. A3 photo copied card cover and assorted collaged, photocopied, drawn, painted etc. pages with contributions from 0 people per issue.
Would you look at that kid? Just look at him!
I'm having the hardest time not laughing at him.
He does naughty things, then looks at me and smiles, and I laugh my ass off.
So many of these photos looked a lot clearer on my tiny camera previewing screen.
If you squint, there is a panty shot over on the right side.
