This image was created exclusively for " The Sunday Challenge" group, JAN 8th Challenge!!!
Where do I start??? OTT!!
When I first took up a camera, PS was the last thing I wanted for my images. I was determined that any of my images would be natural!!!! that was before I discovered that adjusting the contrast, brightness and saturation, altered my images to a point which I found acceptable!
Approx 9 months ago I purchased PS Elements 9 and it has helped me replicate the images which my camera and I, have attempted to capture!!!
Along the way I have discovered many other things which I can do to alter images and although I would strive not to alter natural images, sometimes I find it fun to play a little!!!
Today's image is a great example of me at play!! You will find 5 of the 6 images which I have submitted to "The Sunday Challenge" group stream! These images plus other images which I posted to flickr over the past year!! All have a perticular relevance, to me anyway, some more than others and all reflect a period of life from which I am learning.
There are too many alterations and additions in this image for me to explain but I hope you enjoy looking through the creation! and that is what it is, a creation, having fun, have a look at the origional in the comments below!!! Not my usual sunset or landscape but life should have a little fun!!!!! Enjoy

"The theory that, all the weakly children being dead, the rate would fall off is not so far borne out by the facts. The strong ones must be dying now and they will all be dead by the spring of 1903" Statement by Lord Milner (1901)
Proportionately more Boer (farmer) women and children died in the British concentration camps in South Africa than all who died in the Nazi camps during WW2.
I have not had much time for flickr lately. In addition to being a father and husband I am also a Ninja. I have been rather busy doing super secret Ninja things. Mainly I have been trying to hone my levitation and slow motion fighting skills. The only real work for Ninja's these days is in Hollywood and they seem to like that kind of stuff.
National Trust. Kinver Edge and the Holy Austin Rock Houses. A truly fascinating place to visit and to learn about it's place in history. Kinver, Stourbridge, Dudley in the West Midlands.
On Kinver Edge there are several rock houses that have been carved out of the soft red sandstone. The Holy Austin rock houses were inhabited until the 1960s. The most famous are the homes at Holy Austin Rock, now restored and open to visitors. There are stoves, furniture, windows and doors – all set into the sandstone, just as they were when the houses were lived in. They are also known as Martindale Caves. The house that has been renovated represents life in the 1930s.
Up to 11 families lived in the cave homes. Three levels of homes were constructed in the rock. Each had a bedroom and living area. After the last two families moved out in the 1950s the buildings fell into disrepair.
These cave people led comparatively comfortable lives, away from society and surrounded by nature: their water came from the deepest private well in Britain and the easy-to-carve sandstone made house renovations simple. It’s thought that Kinver Edge’s first inhabitants stumbled on it in the early 17th century, though official records date from 1777. “We believe quarry workers arrived in the early 1600s and were the first people to excavate,”
Nanny’s Rock and Vale’s Rock aren’t restored but they can be seen from the Rock Houses walking trail. You can climb into Nanny’s Rock, peer through the remains of the windows and wander around the five empty rooms. Was Nanny a herbalist, a potion maker, a white witch? Passed down through time, there is no explanation for this curious name.
The National Trust was given 198 acres of Kinver Edge in 1917 in memory of Thomas Grosvenor Lee, a Birmingham solicitor born in Kinver. The National Trust care for close to 600 acres of this special landscape.
Only one of the cave houses in the study area is a listed building, Vales Rock, Wolverley, Grade II, and only one is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, the restored National Trust caves at Holy Austin Rock, Kinver.
Rock-cut Dwellings on Kinver Edge.
The group of cave houses and rock cut dwellings discussed here fit into a small geographical area and all lie on or within a couple of miles of a massive sandstone escarpment called Kinver Edge. This cuts through the county boundaries of Staffordshire and Worcestershire and the parish boundaries of Kinver, Staffordshire and Wolverley and Cookley, Worcestershire.

I'm doing fine, but now I appreciate what time really is. It's taken me a while, but I think I can now understand completely.

"He who can not keep his thoughts within him will never accomplish great things"
Thomas Carlyle
This is the second room of the cabin in this photo www.flickr.com/photos/normlanier/9729137204/. This room is a little closer to what I might have expected to see of an old farm build with the interior being used as storage for farm equipment.
Yes, I know. Disagreeably grainy. Too much agitation, I think. Consulting my archive I find that I inverted four times per minute, for an 11½ min developing time. What was I thinking? My arm must've been hanging off after that! My only excuse is inexperience: I hadn't long been "doing my own" and was still tinkering around a lot. Moral: sticking fairly closely to the manufacturers' recommended methods and times will save you a lot of effort and wasted film.
On any kind of holiday you feel under an obligation to make the most of the time and the money you've forked out. Accordingly you run around like a headless chicken and are knackered, hot and foot-sore by early afternoon most days. Here Mrs B takes a restorative snooze. This surprisingly comfortable Futon in her mother's downstairs room was to be our bed for ten days. I was surprised at how well I slept. I like the chiaroscuro of the lamp in the top right-hand corner.
"Can't find no time
nor a reason for a change of mind
now the curtain's down, why should I stay?
Can't find no trace
in that old fashioned face, yeah
remind me, please what words to say.
Night after night, didn't I try to forget you?
All those car - city lights, kept flashing their shadows on me.
It's an LA rendevous
Foggy Thursday morning
Bess with me and John's with you
Just like, old times, alone together
so close your eyes and see..."

Took the boy to a classmate's birthday party. It is interesting to watch professionals put the kids in a manageable state -- run them in circles until they've burnt off enough of the excitement to sit.
The party was held in a kids gym. The colors are horrible -- bright yellow walls and muddy purple floors. Nothing to be done but convert to B&W. HSS!
