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.
I love the fall. There is so much for a photographer to look at, so many colors. We live on 35 acres with a wide range or land types. From a step cliff to a babbling brook even a few rolling hills. We have very thick forest and a few open fields. We are very lucky. In one area we have a old marshy spot. That is where this photo comes form in the shallow waters at the edge of this dead part of the forest. Where the beavers had lived so many years ago. They killed a few acres of forest and as it tries to grow back we get to enjoy small gifts like this.

I've loved Mouse Trap since I was a kid. It may just be the thing that got me into engineering.

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.
Sue's dad noticed these lobster traps stranded in the tide pool and called various agencies to report them missing. But a week went by and nobody claimed them.
I found this dragonfly resting at the edge of my shorts...and so I gently trap his wing with my hands and take a snapshot of his big eyes!
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!
Nobody can escape my evil trap! When Captain Proton tries to rescue her, I will defeat that caped goody two-shoes once and for all!! Mwahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!
(Actually, it's a very fun looking game that was at a fair. The plastic bubble is inflated, and the person tries to move around on the water in it.)
After church service I was talking to some friends when I heard Brody (age 2) calling out, "Help, Help Me". He had crawled under a table and got a bit trapped - I had to laugh and get a photo before freeing him.
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.
