Today Jose Henriquez, one of the trapped Chilean miners, spoke at East Kirkby Miners' Welfare. With him and his wife was the Rev Alf Cooper who was born in Chile but educated in England.
This shoot was inspired by Christopher McKenney. The sense of being trapped I feel comes into the theme of Religion because sometimes you can feel trapped into a way of thinking, in all religions.
Thankyou to Adam Hurst an Sam Taylor for modelling for this shoot.

At the end of over 2 miles trail is this small waterfall. The last part of tail is more scenic, snake along a stream.
Tall trees surround the waterfall, making the area a bit dark.

Why Spiders Don't Get Stuck In Their Own Webs?
Spiders Walk on Their Tiptoes
If you've ever had the pleasure of walking into a spider web and having silk plastered on your face, you know it's kind of a sticky, clingy substance. A moth that flies full speed into such a trap doesn't stand much of a chance of freeing itself.
But in both cases, the unsuspecting victims came in full contact with the spider silk. The spider, on the other hand, doesn't tumble willy-nilly into its web. Watch a spider traverse its web, and you will notice it takes careful steps, tiptoeing delicately from thread to thread. Only the tips of each leg make contact with the silk. This minimizes the chances of the spider becoming ensnared in its own trap.
Series of two. I put out doggy meat balls for the fox each night and a small pile of hedgehog food. The fox eats the hedgehog food and the hedgehog eats the doggy meatballs! It depends on which comes first. They both arrived together last night.

Anxiety can make you feel trapped in your own mind. All of your thoughts and ideas claw at the inside of your skull, wanting to be set free. They are constantly pushed back by your uncontrollable fears and doubts. Everything around you becomes a blur. You start to drown in your own mind. You begin gradually and silently fading away into the background while the people you once knew move on and forget about you. You become a living ghost of who you used to be.
I've badly sprained my ankle more than 5 times in 5 years.
Everytime, I'm trapped inside my house for days on end and I can't stand it.
It took a week but I trapped the groundhog. He had a scar healing on his nose. I am glad I got him before he and the boys tangled. I took him about 3/4 of a mile away and let him go, hopefully he will stay in the area I left him in and not try to find his way back.

The disposable or single-use camera is a simple box camera sold with a roll of film installed, meant to be used once. Most use focus free lenses. Some are equipped with an integrated flash unit, and there are even waterproof versions for underwater photography. Internally, the cameras use a 135 film or an APS cartridge.
While some disposables contain an actual cartridge as used for loading normal, reusable cameras,[1] others just have the film wound internally on an open spool. The whole camera is handed in for processing. Some of the cameras are recycled, i.e. refilled with film and resold.
"Disposable" digital cameras are a recent innovation. These types of cameras forego film and use digital technology to take pictures. The cameras are returned for "processing" in the same fashion as film cameras.
In general the one-time-use camera represents a return to the business model pioneered by Kodak for their KODAK camera, predecessor to the Brownie camera; they are particularly popular in situations where a reusable camera would be easily stolen or damaged, when one's regular camera is forgotten, or if one cannot afford a regular camera.
he disposable camera was first developed by Fujifilm in 1986. Their Utsurun-Desu ("It takes pictures"[2]) or QuickSnap line used 35 mm film, while Eastman Kodak's 1987 Fling was based on 110 film[3]. Kodak released a 35 mm version in 1988[4], and in 1989 renamed the 35 mm version the FunSaver and discontinued the 110 mm Fling[5].
In Japan, the Utsurun was released in 1986 for 1380 yen and became widely accepted. Traditionally, cameras had been quite expensive in Japan and were only used during special occasions, and typically only by the male of the household. As a result of the introduction of cheap, lightweight disposable cameras in Japan a cultural shift began, where parents, and children were able to take photos, creating the "snap happy" stereotype that still persists today. Because of the immediate appeal, companies like Konica, Canon and Nikon soon produced their own models. To stay competitive, Fuji introduced advanced features to its original model such as panoramic photography, waterproofing and the inclusion of a flash. Some cameras even have a manual zoom feature which works by shifting two lenses in front of the shutter.
By 2005 disposable cameras were a staple of the consumer film camera market and flash-equipped disposables were the norm.
Disposable cameras are popular with tourists and are also a common solution for underwater photography by those who don't own a dedicated underwater camera or waterproof housing.
Since the late 1990's, disposable cameras have become increasingly popular as wedding favours. Usually they are placed on tables at wedding receptions to be used by guests to capture their unique perspective of the event. More commonly they are available in colors to match the wedding theme such as ivory, blue, white, gold, etc.[6]
So-called "accident camera kits" containing film-based disposable cameras[7][8] are increasingly being carried in vehicles[9]to take images as evidence after an accident. Digital photography is not generally acceptable as a form of evidence because it can be easily edited.
This fellow was trapped in a window well of an industrial facility. A rescue plan was in the works...
Taken from Taylor Shellfish Farms, on Chuckanut Drive south of Bellingham, Washington, USA. I think the land you can see is Samish Island in the near distance, and Guemes Island behind it.
Phlegm street art, trapped by some scaffolding. This piece is on the car park next to the Moor, but it looks like it's in the process of being demolished. Such a shame if we lose this amazing piece of street art.
After not taking a shower for three days, i had just turned on the water and was about to get in, when the idea for this picture hit me. So i broke out the flash and my tripod, set the timer on my camera and gave it a shot. Its not always bad to be easily distracted!
Unfortunately I did not have a flash on my camera .....
MOUNT Gambier’s abandoned and vandalised old hospital site.
I was passing with a coworker and took a few snaps. The Hospital has just sold and the new owner is cleaning up.
The scap metal merchants invited us in for a closer look. We got rock star access to the entire site.
The 4.9ha property has been closed to the general public for about 13 years.
The ugly and derelict old Mount Gambier Hospital occupies a prime location with views in both directions
The empty shell of the hospital and the surrounding land was originally on-sold to Sky Towers Mount Gambier P/L . They've done little to the site in recent years, despite calls for the building to be demolished or redeveloped. Now it has a new owner.
The plan originally included demolition of part of the old hospital, and turning the remains of the building into luxury apartments. In a controversial move, they also hoped to build a six storey retirement village on the site and subdivide some of the land for a future housing blocks.
The old hospital had been private property since 1998
It is a magnet for vandalism, drug making, squatters and potential death. The Lake Terrace address was opened around 1969/1970 and closed about 1997.
Walking about the grounds, you find doors that open onto overgrowth, the paths are gone and literally you can't use the door.
We found Steam-driven sterilizer's (Smith and Co Steam driven sterilizer - made in Bromptom) - h.l. smith & co pty ltd
We also found Johns Perry Lifts. (This was a company that started out as Johns & Waygood, became Johns Perry, was purchased by Boral and then sold to Otis who shut it down to remove their major local competitor).
We also saw the remains of lift shafts, piping, dumb waiters and much more.
The building is still solid (Although the gaping holes to the floors many meters below are unsafe) and there has been calls for ghost tours.
One can only imagine the births, deaths, pain and joy the walls has seen.
On the lower ground floor you can still walk the maintenance tunnels following the huge pipes that feed the building.
You can climb to the very top of the structure and overlook Mt Gambier.
The floor stairwells are heavily graffitied. You can walk the doctors car pack, the ambulance bay and even look at the big furnace.
There might not be much to look at soon.
Whilst we had "Rock star" access, we had permission to be onsite that we could not abuse. I can't recommend you jump the fence for a look. The site is very dangerous and we did this on our own back without insurance.

Mount Gambier council buys old hospital

THE Mount Gambier City Council is now the proud owner of the dilapidated old hospital and wants the community to decide on the future of the site.
Mayor Steve Perryman yesterday confirmed that council clinched a $1.4m deal on Monday to secure the property, which was sold by receivers after former owners Boots and Partners experienced challenges with the site.
Mr Perryman said the Local Government body was "relieved" at finalising the purchase.
"All of council is relieved and excited - it hasn't been an easy path," he said.
"It has been a cause of frustration for council over many years - senior staff and council members have borne the brunt of community criticism over the site even though we haven't owned it."
Mr Perryman would not be drawn into commenting on any plans for the site, saying the future of the building was in the community's hands following a period of consultation.
"I want to make it very clear that council has no view at this point in time on what the future of the site will be," Mr Perryman said.
"From here we will work to seek the views of the community on the options of the site - it's fair to say there is a fair amount of research, investigation and discussion to be had on the options."
A decision on the site's future is expected to be reached in the first half of next year.
"I know a number of individual members of council are saying they've got an open mind and they really don't know," Mr Perryman said.
The abandoned site has been an ongoing saga for 13 years after the State Government sold the complex to private hands.
Mr Perryman assured the million dollar purchase would not lead to a rise in council rates.
"It's within councils finances to make the purchase and that's why it's important we have a thorough investigation in terms of the options that are available," he said, adding the deal was done without state or federal government assistance.
Other council projects such as the redevelopment of the rail land would be unaffected by the sale, Mr Perryman said.
