With all the fresh snow it was a beautiful night,nearly bright as day,with the soft white light of the moon being reflected by the snow.This is the Full Moon of the 11th moon Ngetal(Reed) in the old celtic calendar the Ogham. This full moon was the original Celtic celebration of Samhain, the night when the veil between this world and the spirit world was thinnest, and the precursor of Halloween. It was also considered the first day of winter.
It's been a while in the making, but the first of the Aphorism books is finally finished and up at Magcloud.

Jack Barakat jumped in the crowd during the first song or maybe it was the second. Either way, Warped Tour 2012 freaked out.
I thought to use a proverb or quote on the "value" of time, or the "coin" of it. But instead, I choose something more relevant to me now. I give to you, from one of my favorite authors, Tennessee Williams:
"Time is the longest distance between two places."
(He wrote "A Streetcar Named Desire")
On another note: Just how long is a moment?
Another in a series of pictures I plan on. I want to repeat this picture without the quarters too, it's busier than I expected it would come out, but its well past my bed time.
I never get tired of taking pictures of people fishing. I’m not sure why that is other than it’s a common pastime where I live. Maybe if I lived in a landlocked region it would be farmers. Read more goo.gl/jcqPsS
nothing like a little down time with a good book....The book is about "Ghost Pirates" :D @ home @ second life
As most of you know Mecca Merosi has left Flickr and is retiring her avatar from Second Life. But before she was able to do so she was asked to do one more show, one last time. Come see the colorful, dark work from the mind of Mecca before it's gone for good.
What about when it's gone?
And it really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singing from at all.

PPSOP - Art of Food Photography, Assignment Three, Part B: Shoot two or three subjects with a single, small light source and reflector. Really try to show off the texture of your subject. Part C:Shoot the same subjects from part B, adding a second, overhead light source along with your reflector. Final Submission.
F/8, 1/250s. 105mm Nikkor Micro Lens on studio stand.
As the Assignment called for two shots, I tried both – with the addition of ND Gel to the Grid (small light source) and decided the sandwich shot with the soft box fill was the strongest of the two. The softlight coming from above filled in the shadows to lower the contrast. The ND Gel was noticeably softer, I am glad I tried this experiment.
The issue I have with the ND was that it reduced the intensity of the light leaving me with a maximum f-stop of f/8. Due to the width of sandwich, I think I would have preferred to use a higher wattage light to enable me to stop down with the ND and obtain greater DoF.
My time was crunched, so I only had one (rushed) go at this… Further studies are in my future, to be sure.
I can surmise that higher wattage will lead to quicker degradation of the sandwich fillings, so I’d best have a few on hand!
Setup for the shot: Lowe’s tileboard tabletop with subject placed on white paper. Old-fashioned soda bottle and chips brought in as props. 30° grid set on light, placed at 210° from subject, up high just skimming top of bread and bouncing off reflector board about 45-60° camera right. Medium soft box placed on boom over top of subject.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone

The story of Margareten
For the first time in 1373 has been an estate named, the in contrast to an "upper court" at the height of the Viennese mountain (Wienerberg) as "lower court" on (today) Margaretenplatz is designated. 1395 donated Rudolf Tirna, an owner of the facility, together with his wife Anna and his brother Louis one to Saint Margaret of Antioch dedicated chapel. As other early mentions of the "Lower Court" and the chapel we find in 1411 the St. Margaretenkapelln to Metzleinstorff, 1548 St. Margareten, 1568 Sandt Margareten and in 1594 hoff to St Margareten. The around this Margaretner Hof in todays area Margaretenplatz - Hofgasse - Schlossgasse emerged estate hamlet constituted the starting point for the development of the suburb. The estate, it is shown on the circular plan of Niklas Meldemann in 1530 armed with a mighty tower, has been at the siege of 1529 of Turkish groups of fighters set on fire - a commemorative plaque on the house Margaretenplatz 3 remembers at it. The court subsequently changed hands several times until it purchsed Olav Nicholas, Archbishop of Gran, 1555 commercially. Olai had the courtyard and the chapel partially rebuild and he layed out a large castle garden.
He appointed settlers to Margareten and founded south of his farm Nikolsdorf. In the middle of the 17th Century, 1647-1667, finally completed the envoy to the Sublime Porte, Johann Rudolf Schmidt von Schwarzhorn the building. In the 1662 appeared "Topographia Archiducatus Austriae Inferioris Modernae" by Georg Matthäus Vischer the present castle is represented as a two-storey building whose siebenachsiger (7-axle) residential wing in the east is reinforced by a corner tower with loggia-like ambulatory and to the west is surmounted by an onion-shape crowned clock tower. In this figure, however, lacks the this very day preserved with mighty rusticaded stones cladded castle portal. After the destruction of the Türkenjahr (Siege of Vienna) 1683 the construction was rebuilt. Already about 1725 had in the front of the castle developed in the run of today Margaretenstraße through building development the methodic rectangular shape of today's Margaret Square.
1727 sold Earl of Sonnau the manorial system Margareten to the city of Vienna. Between 1749 and 1783 was located in the large deserted castle garden, which served partly as a grain field and pasture, the first Mulberry School in Vienna. In the premises of the castle in 1751 a factory of Leonean goods was established, but which burned down in 1768. 1786 Anton Schwarzleithner moved the factory to Mannersdorf (Lower Austria). Thereafter, the entire reality was measured and came up for auction. The largest parcel, the old castle at Margaretenplatz with the adjacent factory building at 23 Schlossgasse, bought the silk ribbon maker and judge of Margareten, Francis Plumper. By a daughter Prallers, Elizabeth, married Pichler, the building complex came into the possession of a book printer family, which to 1869 handled a print shop here. The new factory building at 21 Schlossgasse was purchased by auction by Johann Brauneck who in the same year petitioned for an increase. On the neighbouring to the west to the castle connecting parcel (Margaretenplatz 3) the silk stuff promoter Paul Hochholzer in 1787 by architect Johann Michael Adelpodinger the existing buildings had adapted, over the entrance gate the building inscription of the old castle of 1651 was immured. The to the west adjoining parcel with the in 1783 deconsecrated St Margaret's Chapel acquired the Samtmacher (velvet maker) Leopold Urspringer, who had the chapel demolished and the ground for the construction of a residential building (77 Margaret Street) used. Also the area of ​​the small castle garden that had the Vienna municipal judge Leopold van Ghelen on lease, was parceled out and developed through newly created streets. In the period from 1781 to 1788 arised on the site of the great palace garden in the of the Gartengasse and Schlossgasse on the one hand and Margaretenstraße and Siebenbrunnengasse surrounded territory on the other not less than 41 parcels.
Margaretenplatz as a historical center of Margareten is particularly accentuated by the 1835/36 before the House Margaretenplatz 3 built well, on those square base the by Johann Nepomuk Schaller modelled statue of the over the dragon triumphant hl. Margaret, the eponym of the suburb rises. As part of the regulation of 1886, the Margaret Square fountain was offset by 20m to the southwest, and received its present location .
In the west the square is surrounded by the instead of the in 1883 demolished brewery according to plans of the architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer by builder Joseph Müller for Baroness Amalie Lipthay 1884/85 established Margartenhof. The castle-like complex occupies an extremely important position as regards urban development in the district. Historically, it represents the symbolic succession building of the old, today only in fragments existing Margaretner Castle (Margaretenplatz 2,3). The large residential complex with the street-like designed "Zierhof" is an early example of urban development concepts, which in Vienna otherwise only could unfold in the interwar period.
To the east the Margaretenplatz is dominated by an according to plans of Ferdinand Seif 1898 built monumental palace-like structured tenement, where forms of the Venetian city palace of the 16th Century were used. Buildings of the Gründerzeit round off the Margaretenplatz in the north.
This what seems to be a sunset picture is actually the result of Light Polution from the nearest town, (Loughborough).
I love night time photography as it's so peaceful and the way the light plays upon the clouds above by the moon and below by the light polution....
Yet another reminder of how over populated our little country is....
Tick-tack tick-tack...

This fellow was pumping up a soccer ball along a quiet stretch of street. This was taken with a Summicron 50mm (Type 3), which despite being an old lens holds up very, very well in the modern day.
