Not the horror film ! Autumn leaves I shot the other day over a canal bridge near home. The turning of the leaves is here at last, autumn has been slow to start in our warmer than average temperatures.

"As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes." (Mel Brooks) :-)
again, Babič's Mill on the River Mura in Slovenia but here I thought I'd have a go at long exposure to get motion blur in the spinning wheels; although the structure appeared to be firmly anchored, I would soon find out that the ship mill was in fact constantly swinging with the flow of water, however imperceptibly; this is the only shot (out of 5 tries) that turned out to be relatively presentable (with the help of editing)
It was cold and windy on the hill, but sunset turned out to be pretty good. The Cotswold Way at the end of May. Lansdown Hill, near Bath. BANES, England, UK.
Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper built in Malmö, Sweden in 2005. It was the tallest building in the Nordic region until September 2022, when it was surpassed by Karlatornet in Gothenburg, which is still under construction. Located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was built and is owned by Swedish cooperative housing association HSB. It is regarded as the second twisted skyscraper in the world to receive the title after Telekom Tower in Malaysia.
It was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. It reaches a height of 190 m (620 ft) with 54 stories and 147 apartments. Turning Torso won the 2005 Gold Emporis Skyscraper Award; and in 2015, the 10 Year Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat
Japanese Anemone.
There is a huge squadron of Japanese Anemones in the garden at the moment, basking in the April sun. They love Autumn in Sydney.

Inaugurated in 1998, the Hemisfèric was the first building in the City of Arts and Sciences to open its doors to the public.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava, it features an ovoid shell over 100 meters in diameter, housing a large spherical projection room.
It represents a large human eye, the eye of wisdom. This element symbolizes the gaze and observation of the world, which visitors discover through surprising audiovisual projections.

Inaugurato nel 1998, l'Hemisfèric è stato il primo edificio della Ciutat de les Arts le Ciències che ha aperto le sue porte al pubblico.
È stato progettato da Santiago Calatrava, con un guscio ovoidale lungo più di 100 metri di diametro, che ospita all'interno una grande sala di proiezione a sfera.
Rappresenta un grande occhio umano, l'occhio della saggezza. Questo elemento simboleggia lo sguardo e l'osservazione del mondo che i visitatori scoprono attraverso sorprendenti proiezioni audiovisive.
Like the Magpie, this Red Wattle bird will come into my house if the food dish is empty. Sometimes it accompanies the Magpie, it knows that I will give food which he catches in his beak. When I step out into my yard each morning, he is among the first birds to greet me. Unlike some other birds, he does not demand to be fed, instead he makes repeated discreet visits when there are fewer birds around, and will come within arms reach of me, and take food from my hand.
Almost, the song goes "Wheel in the sky keeps on turning". I dug my toy windmills out again and used a hairdryer to make them go. I was happy to have more control indoors.
It is getting close to the new year, and ready to turn the page on 2021. I am looking forward to new challenges, opportunities, and adventures in 2022. Reading more books is on my list, and I've already got a few lined up. This one here was a gift to myself. I purchased yet another cookbook, Rachael Ray's latest (autographed), which she wrote during the pandemic after her house burned down and her dog passed away. I listened to the Armchair Expert podcast when they interviewed her, which was very inspiring and prompted me to buy the book. What books have you enjoyed recently?
