Not so much an anti smoking message as a pun on the subject matter.
Probably my fav shot from today..
For April's Monthly Scavenger Hunt.
I really thought I'd focused on the crossing but I love the timing on this one. Plus I spent too much time staking it out...people might start to think I'm weird.
Community School of Davidson receiver catches a stop route during the game with Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy.
Shot with the Kodak Charmera keychain camera. I thought this tiny thing would be, well, crappy and it is! Despite that, it has still proven to be a ton of fun and I find myself shooting it more and more.
This photo was one of 2400 photos shot for a stop motion assignment. I can't upload the video here, but if you'd like to check it out, you can find it at youtu.be/mUJ3sBMjkkM.
I would love feedback! It's not super polished throughout, but it was a start in learning both the blessings and curses of Adobe Premiere Pro. It was also a very emotional project for me to shoot with my boyfriend.
Warning: contains serious subjects.
My original comment about this high cross read as follows: As you walk along a lonely country lane from the LUAS tram stop at Laughanstown to the old church at Tully the first thing of note that you will see is a well preserved high cross. The cross was saved from destruction by James Grehan in the later part of the nineteenth century. The road next to the cross was being lowered and James Grehan had this small wall built and the cross placed upon it at it's original height.
Today tt is nearly the end of 2017 and I have just realised that Dublin [Greater Dublin] is now changing faster than I can photograph the changes and as a result I really do need to review my programme for 2018. I think that the changes are more rapid than in the Celtic Tiger period.
Today as the sunlight was magical I decided to use my 15mm Voigtlander with my new Sony A7RIII body and I was more than a little bit surprised by the results. I am now convince that the Sony A7RIII is very much superior to the A7RII. Also while I was inclined to avoid using the Voigtlander 15mm until now I must confess that I was really impressed by it when combined with the A7RIII.
Every time I publish photographs of Laughanstown I receive mail advising me that I made a spelling error and that the name of the area is Loughlinstown. I am one hundred percent certain that there is no tram stop named Loughlinstown but to be fair I cannot blame anyone for being confused as it could well be argued that Laughanstown is in Loughlinstown.
Today, I met a very helpful lady on the tram who was convinced that I was totally confused about my destination. Even when I showed her photographs of the old church and graveyard she was not at all convinced that I was not confused.
I think that I last visited the area about a year ago so I was not really expecting to see any changes. In the past I was able to access the historic sites via a narrow country lane. Today I was a bit disappointed to discover that access to a really old historic cross was barred because of a major redevelopment. I met a gentleman, walking his dog, and was surprised to discover that he was East European [he look like a local farmer and I suspect that he actually was a farmer] but he explained to me that the area was being redeveloped as a public park with a major road passing through it and that I could only gain access to the site from Carrikmines. As the sunset was approaching I decided that it was best to come back at a later date.
[UPDATE... Further Research Resulted In The Following Information]
Tully Park is located at the centre of the Cherrywood development, and the park itself is centred on the ruins of the Tully Church and Graveyard. Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park.
Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections.
Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone which includes a large play area for kids, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns, meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
Tully Park will be located beside a primary and secondary school. These schools and the local community will be able to avail of the outdoor recreational facilities and open space within Tully Park.
A CSX crew member places a stop sign tag on the side of CSX 1902, signaling that the train will not be going anywhere for the next few days, all in preparation for the packing party event to occur the next day.

Police officers must know the law. Get the procedure wrong and you could be in trouble... seen at Leicestershire Police Headquarters, with the intended audience being Police Officers.
Extract from here: www.gov.uk/police-powers-to-stop-and-search-your-rights
A police officer has powers to stop and search you if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect you’re carrying:
- illegal drugs
- a weapon
- stolen property
- something which could be used to commit a crime, such as a crowbar
You can only be stopped and searched without reasonable grounds if it has been approved by a senior police officer. This can happen if it is suspected that:
- serious violence could take place
- you’re carrying a weapon or have used one
- you’re in a specific location or area
Before you’re searched
Before you’re searched the police officer must tell you:
- their name and police station
- what they expect to find, for example drugs
- the reason they want to search you, for example if it looks like you’re hiding something
- why they are legally allowed to search you
- that you can have a record of the search and if this isn’t possible at the time, how you can get a copy
Level crossing at Oddingley in Worcestershire. This one is still opened by a man, who spends his days checking signals and reading books in the signal box to the left. Can't be many of these left on the rail network.
I'm also trying to find some clothes for my awkwardly-sized 9-inch Playmates Kira Nerys, who I found in an utterly smashed box in a clearance bin at a comic book shop, and bought her out of pity.... I tried this DollsAhoy Blythe dress I bought a while back (even though I don't own a Blythe, go figure)...it's rather tight in the bust and looks cool, but Nerys isn't happy. X^)
if loving you is a crime, then i'm guilty ;)

this is SUPER CHEESE. part of my cheese series.
inspired by my cheese muse (an adorable and outrageous flirt full of cheeese). and again, note,...this is just a joke. I'd never be this tacky to be serious about this.
oh yes, i do realize this looks horror-ish...and my hand is funky. read my palms!
