As I think of this and that, death takes a rest here by my side.
While I paint in this room a fish breathes quietly in the bottom of some pond.
While I think of this and that, the fists rise in Barcelona and the sky burns.
As I think about this and the other she walks naked around the living room and reads.
Mientras pienso en esto y lo otro la muerte se toma un descanso aquí a mi lado.
Mientras pinto en esta habitación un pez respira tranquilo en el fondo de algún estanque.
Mientras pienso en esto y aquello los puños se alzan en Barcelona y el cielo arde.
Mientras pienso en esto y lo otro ella se pasea desnuda por el salón y lee.

I think it's going from bad to worse. Focusing on all the trash rather than real subjects, making something out of nothing and totally ignoring the human values. Arab's Media is not doing a very well connection.
I'd meant to be back - but much remains undone that ought to be done, and in the last couple of days I've gone down with some vague bug... Never mind :)
Back soon, I promise, and then I'll catch up :) Ah the optimism! But in the meantime, my apologies dear chums :)
Oh - the title... from this :)

... We were wrapping family presents but Miss A took a shine to the cuddly
soft Bee (in the previous image) .. this is a variation on a theme from yesterday !
It was a good lesson in how Christmas is about giving to show people we
care, and not about what we want for ourselves! I think she understood it
and I think Santa was so impressed with her that he has reserved a similar
one for her stocking
We call Miss A Buglet or Looliebug because as a baby she used to chatter to the ladybugs in her nursery ~ because of that people often buy her ladybug related toys!
From the Christmas set ♥
365 Days: #113, 06/10/07
I cleaned my bathroom. But before I finished I decided I wanted to finish that laundry. And clean out my messenger bag. Oh and get all that crap out of my car and go through it. And go through that pile of mail that had been sitting there 2 weeks. So I am kinda doing them all at once. "Oh, I will do this really fast before I run out for the afternoon"...that was at about 11, it is now almost 3, and I will be happy if I can get out of here by 5. Oh and I remembered I have to write up this thing for work, it is due tomorrow, an assignment of sorts - my employer pays for me to take industry-related classes and you know it is 'optional' but not really, and anyway I have to write up this thing, due tomorrow, have not started, whee!
Still in my PJs, no shower yet, and I think I will grab lunch and sit here while I go through this. Oh and what you do not see on the floor next to the camera is 2 huge garbage bags, this looks MUCH better than it did an hour ago.
But this is me on a Sunday, lazy and doing random crap :)
While sitting on the shingle ridge near Hurst Castle I had nothing better to do at the time than create this stone-faced man-crab. This shot is 5 years old and could've been taken by a 5 year old but I have to get it out of my system ! Stayed in the garden today mainly in the greenhouse to be honest as there was a cold northerly wind . The next three weeks will be spent mainly indoors as the virus will peak at this time. I may be posting some very old pics soon in the days when flares and velvet loons were all the rage !

Sit back and relax. We are here to think for you! Why spend hour after hour worrying about life, we will worry for you. We can be trusted!
Here's how this one was accomplished: I was laying on my back in the grass looking up at the subjects, with the 18-55mm lens. Beside my head on the right was the bare (I think I'd use a diffuser if I could do this again) SB-600 flash off the camera, triggered by CLS. Manual flash at 1/40 power (built-in at 1/16, should've had it off...). The idea was, expose for the sky, then adjust in the flash for correctly exposed subjects. Still learning how to be more efficient balancing flash, aperture and shutter speed. I can get it done, but it takes me too long sometimes....
To think that I had blonde and long hair last year O..o I´m still happy that I cut it off..I hate hair its annoying ò..ó !Also I think that long hair does not suit my style ... I look girlier tht I would like to with it .. Therefore I doubt that I´m ever going to let it grow again :D
She's not afraid; she just likes to use her night light
When she gets paid, true religion gets it all
If they fit right.
She's a little bit manic, completely organic
Doesn't panic for the most part.
She's old enough to know, and young enough not to say no
To any chance that she gets for home plate tickets to see the Mets.
Like everybody, she's in over her head,
Dreads Feds, Grateful Dead, and doesn't take meds.
She's a Gemini Capricorn
Thinks all men are addicted to porn.
I don't agree with her half the time,
But, damn I'm glad she's mine.
Her eyes, that's where hope lies.
That's where blue skies
Meet the sunrise.
Her eyes, that's where I go
When I go home.
She got the kinda strength that every man wishes he had.
She loved Michael Jackson up until he made Bad.
She doesn't know the word 'impossible'
Don't care where I've been and doesn't care where we're goin' to.
She takes me as I am, and that ain't easy.
She's beautiful. So beautiful.
And sometimes I think she's truly crazy.
And I love it.

Made by me :) DON'T steal
Sooo I was REALLY tired this morning before I went to school. I found this pic of Nick and made the Nick Jonas Thinks you are seeing now :D
Doesn't this look almost tropical? Well, this is about as far as I made it, and even then, I was leaning over and holding the camera out at arm's length. Odds are, the river is probably chest-deep at its deepest... and I wasn't (un)dressed for it. :) So this is as good as it gets. But look at that view... it was worth the trip and the whole effort, I think.
Car wreckage and a £50,000 pint come to Manchester
People in Manchester were be exposed to two very different consequences of drink driving by Greater Manchester Police this week. The wreckage of a car whose owner was killed in drink driving crash went on display at the University of Manchester, alongside a pint worth £50,000 – the personal financial cost of a conviction.
The £50,000 pint, displayed behind velvet ropes and housed in a protective glass case, represents the personal financial cost of drink-driving, calculated for the first time by the Institute of Advanced Motorists. The calculation reflects the fines, legal costs, rise in insurance premiums and possible job losses faced by those who are convicted.
The wreckage, known as the Think! Car, was owned by a 21-year-old man who lost control of his car on his way home and hit a tree, sadly killing him.
The activity was part of the University ‘Wellbeing Week’ and involved police conducting on the spot breathalyser tests and handing out free ‘scratchcards’, as well as activity highlighting the dangers posed to cyclists and bikers straying into the blind spots of HGVs and buses.
Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith from Greater Manchester Police said: "Drink driving ruins lives. It can cost motorists their family, job and worse still their life or that of somebody else.
"Many people do not think of the consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol until it is too late and police are committed to tackling this issue so that we can make the roads of Greater Manchester a safer place to be.
"If you are planning on driving then the safest choice you can make is to avoid alcohol all together, and if you see somebody else attempting to drink and drive then make sure you stop them. It could be the difference between life and death."
Road Safety Minister Stephen Hammond said:
“It might only look like a humble pint of beer, but it could end up costing much more than a few quid – in fact it comes with an eye-watering hidden cost if it pushes you over the limit.
“Most people know not to drink and drive but a small number still do, which is why we are highlighting the consequences of a drink drive conviction through our THINK! campaign.
“Anyone thinking of drinking and driving should be without any doubt – if you are caught driving over the limit you will face a heavy court fine and lose your licence – you could even go to prison.”

The Thinker (le penseur) by Auguste Rodin
Bronze
H. 180 cm ; W. 98 cm ; D. 145 cm
Cast made by Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904. Transfered to the musée Rodin in 1922.
When conceived in 1880 in its original size (approx. 70 cm) as the crowning element of The Gates of Hell, seated on the tympanum, The Thinker was entitled The Poet. He represented Dante, author of the Divine Comedy which had inspired The Gates, leaning forward to observe the circles of Hell, while meditating on his work.
The Thinker was therefore initially both a being with a tortured body, almost a damned soul, and a free-thinking man, determined to transcend his suffering through poetry. The pose of this figure owes much to Carpeaux’s Ugolino (1861) and to the seated portrait of Lorenzo de’ Medici carved by Michelangelo (1526-31).
While remaining in place on the monumental Gates of Hell, The Thinker was exhibited individually in 1888 and thus became an independent work.
Enlarged in 1904, its colossal version proved even more popular: this image of a man lost in thought, but whose powerful body suggests a great capacity for action, has became one of the most celebrated sculptures ever known. Numerous casts exist worldwide, including the one now in the gardens of the Musée Rodin, a gift to the City of Paris installed outside the Panthéon in 1906, and another in the gardens of Rodin’s house in Meudon, on the tomb of the sculptor and his wife.

The Musée Rodin in Paris, France, is a museum that was opened in 1919 in the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds. It displays works by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin.
While living in the Villa des Brillants (in Meudon, suburb of Paris), Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908, and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures (along with paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired) to the French State on the condition that they turn the building into a museum dedicated to his works.
The Musée Rodin contains most of Rodin's significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss, Monument to Victor Hugo, The Burghers of Calais, La Cathedrale, Monument to Balzac, Study for the Naked Muse, without Arms and The Gates of Hell. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum's extensive garden.
The museum is one of the most accessible museums in Paris. The gardens around the museum building contain many of the famous sculptures in natural settings.
Behind the museum building is a small lake and casual restaurant.
The Musée Rodin collections are very diverse, as Rodin used to collect besides being an artist, some paintings by Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh which were in Rodin's personal collections are also presented. The museum has also a room dedicated to works of Camille Claudel.

Rodin's Thinker is perhaps his best known monumental work, first conceived circa 1880–1881 as a depiction of poet Dante. The image evolved until it no longer represented Dante, but all poets or creators.
Bronze casts of the large Thinker were not made by Rodin himself, but by a professional reducteur, Henri Lebosse, under the artist's supervision. The first large bronze (University of Louisville) was cast by A. A. Hebrard in 1904 for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis, but was rejected by the artist. Rodin turned principally to the founder Alexis Rudier for subsequent casts, and the Legion's example is one of several commissioned during Rodin's lifetime. Mrs. Alma de Bretteville Spreckels purchased it through their mutual friend, Loie Fuller. The Thinker is one of the earliest acquisitions of the more than seventy Rodin sculptures that Mrs. Spreckels purchased and later donated to the Legion of Honor. Source: Wikipedia

Well I think it is done, but have now noticed her left cheek is looking a little orange, may need to change that. Also you might notice that her wings have flown away!
Think that this is the last building worth taking in the courts area of Corporation Street.
Recently noticed it for the 6 heads on the side of the wall. I usually walk on the same side as this building so don't see its details.
The Gazette Buildings was originally Lincolns Inn, lawyers' chambers of 1885 - 86 by W H Ward. Ground floor altered 1928 by W H Martin; mutilated top. What remains is Ward's finest surviving commercial design, an expansion of City Chambers, New Street. The giant arches with their Venetian arrangement recall the splendours of his demolished Colonnade Building. The rich all-over treatment derives from Italian Mannerism; the first floor niches placed illogically above the ground-floor piers from Raphael's Palazzo dell'Aquilla.
Above information from Pevsner Architectural Guides; Birmingham by Andy Foster.
It is at 160 - 178 Corporation Street.
The following was in Victorian Buildings of Birmingham by Roy Thornton.
No 160 - 78: It was caled Lincoln's Inn Buildings when built, and comprised ten shops and offices. The architect was W H Ward, and the owner of this 1882 building was Evan Thomas, owner of nos 132 - 48. An application was made for extensions and alterations by Essex, Nicol & Goodman, in 1899. The author wonders if Oliver Essex was involved in the earlier design of this building when he was in the employ of Ward. At some time the building's name was changed to Gazette Buildings.
He was unsure about no 178 where John's Fish Bar is (now just John's).
Each section has three heads each. And between them was a pair of lions.
Like The Crown, the first floor is occupied by Murria Solicitors, and the second floor by McGrath Solicitors. It seems like both solicitors have taken up using all the floor space from the Gazette Buildings to The Crown.

I never considered myself a landscape photographer, but lately I started shooting wide and I think I am getting hooked on it. It may be because I just picked a used 16-35mm f2.8 GM lens at good price. I heard nothing but good things about this lens, but could never afford it @ $2200, but picked it up used, but mint condition at an unbelievable price, I couldn't resist.
Anyway, these are my first shots a landscape photography...what do you think?
