Pont des Arts in Paris is a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Seine river. Its railings are filled with padlocks that have lovers' names engraved on them. The railings are already full of locks so they are spreading to light poles as well

I purchased this pretty floral cut file (#25154) from the Silhouette store a few months ago. When I opened the cut file with my Studio software today, I decided I would have to cut it at a really large size due to all the tiny petals. So instead of using it as a cut file, I converted it to a printed image using a tutorial I found on the Silhouette blog. blog.silhouetteamerica.com/2011/01/tutorial-create-print-...
Then I aligned the printed image inside a pretty frame embossing folder called Cabaret from Couture Creations. Trimmed the edges, then machine stitched to a medium blue layer. Adhered some foam tape to the back of the medium blue layer and attached that to the navy blue cardstock base. Cut a butterfly with my Silhouette and attached with foam tape on top of the flowers. Added tiny pearls to flowers and butterfly. Used a glue dot to attached bow.

2026 LOMBARD PLAZA MOTEL
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF."

Postmarked March 16, 1958
The motel still exists, though hardly as enticing as this.
Three and a bit weeks after cracking and bruising some ribs it was time to tear it up a bit.

In the foreground, on this side of the St Kilda Road that crosses the image, can be seen part of the Arts Centre Melbourne. On the other side of the road is Queen Victoria Gardens and then beyond the River Yarra is the Sports and Entertainment Complex, including the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Melbourne Park tennis complex.
In the foreground, the building with the mast atop it is the State Theatre, which houses an underground 2,000-seat auditorium. The mast is described as a large steel spire with a wrap-around base. It was completed in 1996, and reaches 162m high, replacing an earlier, shorter spire that had become unsafe. The spire is illuminated with some 6,600m of optic fibre tubing, 150m of neon tubing on the mast and 14,000 incandescent lamps on the spire's skirt. The metal webbing of the spire is reportedly influenced by the billowing of a ballerina's tutu and the Eiffel Tower.
A wedge-tailed eagle and peregrine falcon were utilised in early 2008 to deter groups of sulphur-crested cockatoos from damaging the spire's electrical fittings and thimble-sized lights. On 1 January 2012 the spire was accidentally set afire by New Year's Eve fireworks. Two sides of the structure were set ablaze by fireworks that apparently discharged improperly, causing flaming debris to fall to the ground, but causing only cosmetic damage to the tower.
The structure to the right of the State Theatre is the National Gallery of Victoria.
The scene is viewed through tinted glass from the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor of 7, Riverside Quay, Southbank.

I'm off out tonight and didn't want to risk taking a half cut wonky beer shot so cracked this one out with the help of Riley. He's just had his tonsils out so there's lots of arts and crafts going on at the moment to keep him entertained.
Gelled flash fired remotely from the floor 1/8 power @35mm whilst I lit the monsters with the diffused lenser.
See you tomorrow.
This is number 206 of my 365.
