As the days went on the invasion of the foreigners became more and more apparent.
Kai and Kaze decided to walk the streets to attempt to protect the locals from the wrath and greed that the foreigners were raining down on those less fortunate daily.
As they exited the shop they found exactly what they were looking for. Demon Dodge, Evil Emil and Fleetin' Ethan were all three ready for them.
Quickly they nodded to one another and Kaze took off at a run. He leapt into the air as he was trained to do, his legs taking on the crane formation. His face was determined, angry even. With his youth it was normal for him to be a hothead, but in times like this it wasn't a bad thing. His anger would fuel him.
Kai on the other hand took a protective stance, his eyes hard, cold and calculating. He'd get the two that were left, his sword sliced the air with a speed that was unmatched by his opponents.
Demon Dodge's eyes blazed with determination, his blades at the ready in a stance that was typical to those that were not of this place.
Evil Emil, known to be the most twisted of them, had a look on his face of sheer glee at the blood fray that was about to ensue. It was known that he took delight in others pain and even their deaths.
All that Kai could think is, "they do not belong" as he struck out finally at his enemy. HIs heritage, his training, his composure was second to none of his age, his eyes shone black in the night, colorless during the day. Only this time, they were cold as a black ice running down your spine.
The battle would begin, but where would it end?

Madeline Squire and Araminta Wraith as duelling sisters (or step-sisters from Cinderella's perspective) from the dress rehearsal of Cinderella by Scottish Ballet, at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh.

The Glaumbær Farm first exhibition was opened in 1952, but the farm had served as a dwelling until 1947. The old turf farmhouse forms the backdrop for exhibitions focusing on rural life in 18th- and 19th-century Iceland. On the museum grounds at Glaumbær, there are also two 19th-century timber houses, Áshús and Gilsstofa. These are good examples of the first timber houses built in the region. Áshús contains exhibitions and the Tea Room Áskaffi, which serves traditional light Icelandic fare. Full meals are available if booked in advance. Gilstofa, at present, contains the Museum´s administrative offices. Together these three buildings are a powerful reminder of 18th- and 19th-century life in rural Iceland.*

Icelandic turf houses (Icelandic: torfbæir) were the product of a difficult climate, offering superior insulation compared to buildings solely made of wood or stone, and the relative difficulty in obtaining other construction materials in sufficient quantities.[1]
30% of Iceland was forested when it was settled, mostly with birch. Oak was the preferred timber for building Norse halls in Scandinavia, but native birch had to serve as the primary framing material on the remote island. However, Iceland did have a large amount of turf that was suitable for construction. Some structures in Norway had turf roofs, so the notion of using this as a building material was not alien to many settlers.**

Not a great sky, was hoping for a lot more detail and interest.
That said - was really windy, and as a result the water has a lot of largish waves for what is normally a very calm river.

This turf is used for lawn bowling and the leagues that play here are pretty serious players. I know, because I tried out and was intimidated, I backed out.

So I've been reworking some old shots with some different software. This version is a lot less noisy than the original I uploaded. Unfortunately I still had to crop because this was taken before I owned my tele lens!
Oxford. Saturday 25th July 2015. Nikon Nuvis 300 and old, expired Fujifilm Nexia 400ASA film.
My mate found the films whilst moving house, and I bought the Nikon for $2 so I could try them out.

Langley, BC ... the little red house that sits abandoned on Western Turf Farm in Glen Valley .... minding the turf.
Every photographer I know has photographed this little house. In the past few years it is showing it's age ... falling down a bit more as time goes by.
Here, I played in Photoshop giving it a new sky, a painterly feel, a pretty sunrise and purpose. It's been minding the turf for so long ... it's about time it gets recognized for it.
I posted it on my FAA site for sale. Thank you for stopping by.
While Rusty, Strawberry and Jeero were off trying to capture Turf, he was getting ready to eat lunch at their house. He was putting condiments on his veggie burger and was almost ready to take his first bite when Candy Apple walked in.
Candy Apple: Hi, my name is Candy Apple. Why do you think my name is Candy Apple?
Turf: (says something very quietly)
Candy Apple: People usually think it's because of my color but it's because I like to eat candy apples and candy.
Turf: (quietly) Oh. I th…
Candy Apple: Are you going to move in with us? Because you can, you know. Then you can eat cakes and waffles all the time. The Domos and Uglys who live here are very nice. Are you going to finish that veggie burger? What about your fries? Can I have a bite of your cupcake? So, are you going to move in with us?
Turf: (quietly) I was waiting for someone to invite me.
Candy Apple: So, it's all settled then! You can move in now. Scoot over so I can help you finish your lunch. Oh and my name is Candy Apple. What's yours?
Turf: (a little more loudly) I'm Turf.
