Another of Niqui's creations this week. She's woven this fabric rainbow from long strips of coloured fabrics. Using an old bit of driftwood from the beach which has been in the garage for years, it is now hanging in our window (see my first comment).
A song for today, to mark D-Day
"It's a ticklish sort of job making a thing for a thing-ummy-bob
Especially when you don't know what it's for
But it's the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole
that holds the spring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that makes the engines roar. And it's the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil
that oils the ring that works the thing-ummy-bob
that's going to win the war."

From today's dog walk. Pretty sure this is a Phormium, though not sure what type.

A wattle weaved fence seemingly sitting there for no specific purpose (from what I could see). This wattle technique was apparently commonly used to make fences and hurdles for enclosing ground or handling livestock. The technique goes back all the way to Neolithic times.
This is the beginning of a weave on my daughter's loom.

This is another weavey one, an in-camera multiple exposure of two ICMs of a dried patch of bracken on a local hill. The camera was set to Lighten blend mode which keeps the lighter pixel from the two images. The ICMs were vertical and horizontal swipes respectively.
The bracken proved a good subject for this sort of weaving because of the fine detail of highlights. What attracted me to this image, in particular, is the way some of the original bracken is retained to give it an added textural quality and to hint at its provenance. I’ve also left the green grass in to give it more context…
Naturally (or should that be unnaturally?) I have played with the colours, tonal contrast and sharpening. But you really need to do it with these things otherwise they look very bland (and bland is not really my style lol). Hope you enjoy it anyway ?.
Thanks for looking. Happy 100x and weekend :)
Ottawa Valley Railway train U431 weaves its way through the thinning birch along the Wanapitei River on a sunny fall afternoon. The small community of Wahnapitae is just east of Sudbury, getting its name from the river which in turn comes from the Ojibwe word waanabidebiing, meaning "concave-tooth shaped water", aptly referring to the shape of Lake Wanapitei.
The lumber heavy freight is running along what was originally CP's Cartier Sub originating in North Bay. They'll transfer over to CPKC rails at Romford and head through Moonlight into the Sudbury yard for their interchange work before returning back east as U430 to North Bay.
On the point is HCRY GP40-2LW 3013 which belongs to fellow G&W shortline Huron Central Railway which runs from Sudbury west to Sault Ste. Marie on other former CP trackage.
