Reflections on Ice
Large is nice or Original maybe.
Probably the last one from this series, thank you for bearing with me ;P.......
With ΝІC , Hulalulatallulahoop and ...Damian.... another view but from a different location at High Dam, Cumbria.
I liked the tree reflection in this one :))
Thank you for looking and thank you, Denise, Damian and Nic for your company and laughs :))) see y'all soon.
Large is very nice, try Original if you want more detail.
Still with my lovely friends, Nic, Denise and Damian the pie eater.
We had time to visit the nearby church for a wander about. We were very careful not to step on any marked or unmarked graves ;)) It was a lovely day, here you can see the Midland hotel and a slight view of the Westend of Morecambe and Heysham.
Twas a slight dusting of snow to make the scene a bit more romantic :)
Kyoto, June 2006. Okay, this is just a moss garden, but I like them because they always got some strange light.

As you can see from the street name sign, this is a cul-de-sac. This was taken sitting outside the Four Candles, micropub, pictured here: www.flickr.com/photos/stevieb/52174467214/
In August 1998 I was on a 2 week advanced police driving course when we stopped at the Silverstone racing circuit for lunch with a friend of mine who worked for McLaren at the time.
Lunch however, was ruined by The Flying Finn who kept insisting he have his picture taken with us.
Oh and yes... The point of posting this? To show that I'm sporting the worst mistake of my life on my face. How come no-one told me that the goatee made me look like a complete tosser?

These pieces I did not send to EIP, but are part of the series.
My current series, Zoonoses, takes a disturbing social issue, diseases passed from animals to humans, and adds a bit of humor to the discussion. The work is reminiscent of trophies, head and rear mounted, that can be displayed like the once prized, exotic, stuffed, and quite dusty animals of a dead era.
As diseases passed by these vicious and vile animals continue to mutate and threaten humankind is hunting them for sport, and a bit of pleasure, so far fetched?
When great herds of wild, mad cows rise up en masse to slaughter those who once slaughtered--
When geese, ducks, and other avian demons start dropping their payloads by the score on the innocent heads of our young--
When swine gather secretly in their pens under cover of night, coughing and sweating from fever, (followed by chills and mild aches) planning humankind's destruction--
Will humankind be ready for the Animal Armageddon to come?
In the end, it's either our bacon or theirs.
I for one choose their bacon!
It's not only crispier but tastier too.

Alright,
when i was cleaning my room i found this dead wasp on my window sills. it was dry like death valley in the summer of '69 (i dont exactly know how dry it was then, but you get the picture, don't you).
At first i just wanted to get rid of the corpse, but then i thought: hey, why not macro that critter?
I also wanted to test the video on my 40d feature (see bottom for link).
I used the nifty fifty lens by canon and on top of that: My raynox MSN505 super macro lens (originally bought for my s3is). if only i had used a tripod.
the wasp's head did not come off intentionally, it just fell off, i swear. On the other hand, maybe it did NOT fall off by accident? Whatcha gonna do, call PETA? Just kidding, it really fell off on it's own, because it's so dry and stuff.
I couldnt help but lace the video with the likes of "Stevie B" and the song "in my eyes". somehow my virtualdub skills failed me though.
Anyhows, thats it for a first video test.
to learn more about video @ 40d visit valexvir.narod.ru/ (it's in russian, use google to translate - unless you happen to be russian!)
edit: damn, i think i will upload a new version of this video soon, this time with a correct audio file :D
update: on popular request you can see a still macro shot here.

The car parked nearby gives you an idea of the scale of this yacht
See also: www.perininavi.it/galleria_slide.php?expandable=0&id=42
That mast? From www.superyachttimes.com:
"Her 75 metre aluminium mast – the tallest aluminium mast in the world – has been designed and engineered by Perini Navi's Mast Division in accordance with the latest trends in mast weight optimisation.
The Perini Navi Mast Division developed a new design for masts and shrouds, using Finite Element Analysis, with the aim of building a lighter structure without any compromise in safety. In fact, the designs are approved by the Germanischer Lloyd: which is further verification of the project and a warranty for the Owners. In collaboration with the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Genoa, Perini Navi developed special sensors for tracking the load on shrouds and stays. Although this technology has been used aboard America's Cup Class yachts, this is the first use of the system aboard large cruising yachts."
60074 Teenage Trust at Wansford for the Teenage Cancer Trust, the benefactors of this diesel gala and in the memory of the late Stephen Sutton, fund raiser extraordinaire.
All the information about this house says built 1911, but above the door it says 1912. See it large here: www.flickr.com/photos/stevieb/3554558128/sizes/o/
Obviously a house of this quality would take over a year to construct so that is probably the reason for the inconsistency
Friday night was a Father's Day special event to introduce the venue. The opening act was A#keem, a local artiste who I have photographed before, here: www.flickr.com/photos/stevieb/26430812582/in/pool-pgmf2016/
and here: www.flickr.com/photos/stevieb/26389878705/in/pool-pgmf2016/
He was backed by the Jib's own band D'unit.
You could add green bananas (peeled) instead - an oildown will usually have another starchy vegetable beside the breadfruit.
Potato fans should see the whole story here:
My bakery in the High Street, Crediton, Devon. Not really mine, it is another Stevie B, maybe the one who reached number 6 in the charts in 1991 with "Because I Love You"?
The secret life of plants / Stevie Wonder
I can't conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we think as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
A species smaller than the eye can see
Or larger than most living things
And yet we take from it without consent
Our shelter, food, habilment
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants
But far too many give them in return
A stomp, cut, drown, or burn
As is they're nothing
But if you ask yourself where would you be
Without them you will find you would not
And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They've been, they are and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
Stevieb Wonder
No puedo concebir el significado de todo
Comienza dentro de unas diminutas semillas
Y lo que nosotros pensamos insignificante
proporciona el más puro aire que respiramos
Pero quien soy yo para dudar o preguntar de la verdad del ser?
estos no son más que unos cuantos descubrimientos que
encontramos dentro la vida secreta de las plantas
Especies más pequeñas que lo que el ojo puede ver
O más grande que la mayoría de las cosas vivientes
Y con todo disponemos de eso sin consentimiento
Ya sea como refugio, alimento, o vestimenta
Pero quien soy yo para dudar o preguntar de la verdad del ser?
estos no son más que unos cuantos descubrimientos que
encontramos dentro la vida secreta de las plantas
Pero pronto muchos los dan a cambio
Un pisotón, en pedazos, ahogados o quemados
Como si no fueran nada
Pero si te preguntas donde estarías
Sin ellos tu descubrirás que no serías nada
Y algunos creen que las antenas hacen brotar sus hojas
Eso cruza más allá de nuestra galaxia
Han sido, son y probablemente serán
Quien es la mediocridad?
Pero quien soy yo para dudar o preguntar de la verdad del ser?
Por estos aunque pequeños descubrimientos
encontramos dentro la vida secreta de las plantas
estos no son más que unos cuantos descubrimientos que
encontramos dentro la vida secreta de las plantas.
The bigger black-hulled boat on the left (called 'Protinus') is a Dutch built North Sea cutter which is home to a Frenchman who lives (occasionally) on the island of Bequai, part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He has adapted it quite extensively including adding a full sailing rig, as you can see!
The other black-hulled vessel served for many years delivering mail to the Western Isles off the coast of Scotland. She resembles the Cornish luggers which we saw in the Looe Lugger Regatta in 2007:
