I used my own photo with Kim's Golden Hour texture with Scriptina font.

7DoS Texture Tuesday - Out of my Window

This shot across the vally out of my window, is pretty much the only roof I can see and has rough texture and lichen giving me the style for today.

Shot at approx. 900mm effective focal length (560mm on a Canon APS-C sensor), ignore the EXIF which doesn't work when I stack TCs

7DOS Cliff Texture – Barrier to climbing - IMG_2594

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”

Stephen King...

For Texture Tuesday using "Xanthe Scripted" texture.

At the height of the paddle-steamer era, Morgan was the busiest river port in South Australia and has preserved its history for everyone to enjoy.

For Kim Klassen texture tuesday Dreamlike eDition ... I never seem to be able to go as soft as Kim goes ... I love color. Another play with Sybil.

Oh my I wish I was still there with all the pretty colors and trees in bloom...We are blooming here but it is grey, cold and damp...and no sun in the near future...

I don't know what the name of this lovely is but sure wish I had one.

"It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between."

I started designing my own textures and thought I'd put one to good use. This one is called Moss.

Sweetgrass baskets were originally made to carry and store rice. The technique was brought to North America by enslaved Africans, who used this coil technique with other materials. In South Carolina they began to use sweetgrass, that the mundane became art. Sweetgrass baskets are beautiful, some are very large and complex, and even very old sweetgrass baskets smell fresh when touched.

for 7DoS: I was planning on going with symmetry as a balance idea for today, but when I was out walking this afternoon, I decided to jump up and balance on the edge of this bench seat. I guess standing on one leg would have required even more balance, but then the passing runner would have given me an even odder look ;) You may get to see my feet again this week

Between Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa

The Trans Karoo Express, or simply Trans Karoo, was a South African express passenger train service which travelled an approximately 1,600-kilometre (990 mi) journey between Johannesburg and Cape Town. It operated daily in each direction, meaning that there were in fact two Trans Karoos - they passed each other during the night, heading in opposite directions. The service was operated by Spoornet, the national railway company.

The Trans Karoo was named from the Great Karoo scrubland, one of the most extensive geographical features of southern Africa, across which the train operated...

The service is now incorporated into the Shosholoza Meyl network of operations, a sub-division of the national passenger train operator, the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa. Although the title of Trans Karoo has officially ended, it is still used colloquially..

for 7DoS: I'm trying to avoid just using shots of my favourite wall this week, so when I spotted the top of this barrel when out walking today, I thought it could mean me putting off the wall for a day at least ;)

I guess using this as an ashtray is better than the ground, where most of the stubs end up :(

This week another flower with same textures 3003 for Kim Klassen
