...at her fave place now in winter, so she can get a good view out thru the window.
Happy 1st of Advent
Eastbound bare tables clank through Streator, Illinois. I shot this with a poorly performing Canon 500mm cut-rate lens. I didn't own it long. You get what you pay for. Unless you're REO. then, you get what you play for. Always remember that.
Streator, Illinois. September 1985.
Well… I simply had to have another crack at those dark rocks that made me so unhappy in the Table Mountain panorama that I uploaded yesterday!!
A huge word of thanks to everyone who suggested alternative ways to retrieve the shadow details in those dark rocks! I suppose I should have bracketed my shots so that I could generate a second (lighter) panorama… or at least saved the lighter versions from the original RAW file… but truth be told… this panorama is 8300 x 4500 pixels in size and it was taking ages to process! So I suppose that the real reason why those rocks were so dark was because I was so LAZY!!!
Okay… now that I’ve got that off my chest… :)
I must admit that I am very happy with those dark rocks in this Vertorama!! Since my camera was on a tripod here… and since I did shoot several differently exposed images for the foreground… it was very possible (and quite easy) to layer-mask and blend the rocks part of a +2EV image with the original 0EV image! Heh heh… I actually had to darken the rocks a bit to make it all look natural!

Here is a vertorama (vertical panorama) of Table Mountain... with a field of Arum Lilies (Zantedeschia Aethiopica) in the foreground.
This was taken shortly before sunset... right beside a busy road... at the Rietvlei Nature Reserve in Milnerton.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

The table was happy as ever,
we drank tea: mom laughed
remembering, among others,
I don't know what old family gossip,
one of our cousins commented
— gracefully remembering the manners,
from an angry witness — the incident
that he witnessed on the street.
The children insisted, chattering,
to continue the interrupted game,
and the rest of us talked about all
the things that are spoken of with affection.

DO NOT RETURN BOX, Porter Islands (2, 2, 8) - Moderado
This order started out for 8 of these babies. I'm thrilled that it whittled its way down to only 5. These are 6" cakes. Not too big, but 50 servings of cake can sure be accomplished in a much easier time frame than 5 cakes!! She just wanted a simple design and I thought I'd try my hand at some piping. Decided to stick with dots 'cause scrolls are just too intimidating still. The "stringwork" is extruded fondant. Couldn't brave those either with the royal ;-).
Hey! #2 Explore!!!

21 October 2021, the Sandgate Chamber of Commerce hosts its "Long Table " sumptuous dinner of the Shorncliffe Pier on a balmy evening under a rising moon. Sounds a great thing to do but it isn't for the poor and I have been unable to determine from various web sites that it supports any deserving cause as these things usually do.
Well it looks fun anyway and if you drink too much, you can just expel your expensive meal and alcohol over the rail! Meanwhile, the pier is off limits to the common folk.
