Pedestrian tunnel under the South-Eastern Freeway linking Mount Barker to Littlehampton. The 75 metre long pedestrian tunnel is actually quite stunning. Painted by street artist Wendy Dixon-Whiley, this incredible project took over 6 months to complete.

This one is for my friends Pervez, and Rick Schlamp.
This Image was taken when Air France took off for the first time with it's A380 service from San Francisco International Airport.
The jetliner had just disappeared into a fog bank over San Bruno, and I was putting the lens cap back on my camera when I suddenly saw this starting to take place.
After grabbing several shots, the plane ascended and was out of sight.
It was a good end to a long day of avoiding TSA and police as I searched for places to grab shots of Airliners taking off from this overly protected airport. A very nice end.

A special view of a spiral staircase inside the wonderful Melk Abbey (Stift Melk).
Enjoy.
From Wikipedia:
"Melk Abbey or Stift Melk is an Austrian Benedictine abbey, and one of the world's most famous monastic sites. It is located above the town of Melk on a rocky outcrop overlooking the river Danube in Lower Austria, adjoining the Wachau valley.
The abbey was founded in 1089 when Leopold II, Margrave of Austria gave one of his castles to Benedictine monks from Lambach Abbey. A monastic school, the Stiftsgymnasium Melk, was founded in the 12th century, and the monastic library soon became renowned for its extensive manuscript collection. The monastery's scriptorium was also a major site for the production of manuscripts. In the 15th century the abbey became the centre of the Melk Reform movement which reinvigorated the monastic life of Austria and Southern Germany."

Abstract view of the wonderful river flowing down from the Bruarfoss Waterfall in Iceland.. This is a most wonderful little waterfall with the most wonderful aqua blue water, which is quite difficult to locate... Also had to trudge for 15 minutes through very fresh snow to get here... Not especially fun times...
Most pictures of this waterfall look exactly the same, so hopefully this different one catches your eye as a wonderful piece of poetry in motion!

The cold arctic air descending upon much of Canada and the northern United States this week reminds me of 1 year ago when I took this shot during the arctic vortex of 2014. This shot was taken on February 23, 2014 over downtown Calgary. The original shot I posted was in Black and White. Here is the colour version.

Can you see Jack Skellington in the vortex?
I went to Moominvalley museum store today, it is situated downstairs the city library. I had to visit the library itself too. This is the vision in stairway from Moominvalley to the library. City library building was designed by architects Raili and Reima Pietilä. Reima Pietilä's sister Tuulikki Pietilä was Tove Jansson's life partner (and she was inspiration to Too-Ticky), and her work can be seen in Moominvalley dioramas.

Painted 5 years ago when I resumed painting after a long break - stored away and forgotten.
Inspired by an empty pint beerglass.
Uneven lighting on photo.
No comments expected as I am working on a larger canvas at the moment which is nearing completion.
I'll try to catch up on my regular contacts before I go to UK in April.

Sunset wasn't great this morning but the clouds were suitably moody and the sea choppy enough to get some good patterns.
I was walking up onto Barker Arch when a pleasing pattern in the rock gave me pause. The word "vortex" rose from the mists of my memory banks--this vortex in stone made me smile.
The converging lines in the stone suggest that this area of sandstone is fossilized sand dunes, cut by wind then buried in sand, again and again. Erosion then shaped the surface and sculpted its form, and I suspect the major architect of erosion was wind.
