We decided to treat ourselves to this day trip to Brighton for our 33rd anniversary, and wanted to do something a bit different. Our plan was to catch the Volks Railway train, which runs along the seafront to Brighton Marina. But we suddenly had a brainwave, to go up the new i360 tower, as it was such a lovely day! Before we'd had our lunch we headed down to book our slot, as I believe you have to book in advance. Each slot is half an hour apart, so we booked 1:30 to allow for lunch!
The snow has been melting away and now the top layer is just ice.
In the garden earlier we noticed Roo's (Our Cat) paw prints and my fiancee had another brainwave, this time it was putting tea lights in the paw prints.
So we got that sorted and then I wen't about taking some pics, firstly with no flash which didn't turn out well, but with the flash in the distance shining on them it gave more of the end result I was looking for.
Not sure why they become more orange when the flash is used but a great effect I think.
Only PP was cropping and an added bit of definition.

The YWS-103 Huntress was built from a captured heavily damaged Vanguard, by the UE. The full inner frame and armor was modernized with nano-technology. It focuses on close quarter combat, to achive this it is armed with 2 high-frequency swords, 2 forearm mounted plasma sword, which double as plasma machine guns, 3 blade familiars designed as skirt armor and equipped with multiple powerful thrusters. For more precise movement and decresed reaction time the Huntress is equipped with a special man-machine interface called PNL (Pseudo Neuro-Link) System. The PNL System converts the pilot's brainwaves into data, while not as effectivle like the original DNL System, but it puts less stress on the user. This way the machine can be controlled by thoughts. The blade familiars are remote controlled weapons equipped with 2 high frequency blades on each side.
Weapons:
- 2 x High frequency sword
- 2 x plasma sword / machine gun
- 3 x Blade familiars
Special System:
- PNL system (Pseudo Neuro Link System)
Power Source:
- Ultracompact Fusion Reactor
Armor:
- Nano-armor
Height:
- 9,5 m
Base Weight:
- 25 t
Henry King Jr. was the son of the Golden Age villain Brainwave and hero Merry the Gimmick Girl. Looking to shun his father's criminal legacy, he became a founding member of Infinity Inc., a team of young superheroes bearing the torches of Golden Age heroes. Ultimately, though, after losing his father, he would fall into his dad's old ways.
Another month when I have taken no photos of Taivas and without any brainwaves coming I have used an idea for her 12 months project that I have been planning for Tasku's one in 52 Weeks. This is shot through a small mirror prism. The mirrors only arrived today, are much smaller than expected (therefore not as effective) and I've had no time to practice after constructing the prism, this is literally one of the first few shots I tried.

I decided to embrace the dark today and catch some light trails. I didn't fancy carrying my tripod so I had to capture freehand, after many failed attempts I had the brainwave of going the train station and using the bridge as support, this is the result.

Try as he might, Snake Eyes can do nothing to break the grip of the S.N.A.K.E.. While he initially sensed the presence of Night Creeper and Firefly, his senses were numbed. Dull. As the S.N.A.K.E. pulls him closer, an unnatural panic sets into Snake Eyes when it occurs to the ninja commando that the panic is not coming from his own fear, but seems to be coming from the robot itself! Firefly reads Snake Eyes' revelation and gloats!
Firefly: Go ahead and struggle, Snake Eyes! Lose yourself in the panic! Feel the fear perforate that stone cold heart of yours! Let it consume you! Neat little adjustment I made to this ancient battle armour, eh Snakes? A modification of ol' Doc Venom's Brainwave scanner! Doesn't even need cerebral terminals anymore Snake Eyes! It just... gets in to your head! Ha! That's it, struggle! Panic! There's nothing you can do! Your ass is mine!
As we hadn't been able to celebrate JJ's birthday as we'd hoped, we had the brainwave that we could get some of the family together online to play some word and drawing games!! Matt and Sophie, my sister and niece, Cath, were up for it, and at 8pm we managed to hook up successfully! It was a fun way to get together and we all agreed we must do it again sometime!
(The top pic is from Matt's phone - he said their cat Cardi was confused as she could hear our voices but she didn't know where we were!!)
I find it difficult to question other folks judgement, as sometimes my own brainwaves may crash short of the beach, so I will inquire with polite sincerity....when you see Amber, be a doll and see the photo description. We all need to see others points of view, talk more openly about things that aren't always so easy to discuss. We don't know what we don't know, or how not knowing affects others. So Amber and I have put our thoughts out here on a few things, we're ready to listen to and learn from y'all, so we can all live as happier humans on our little planet.
Today's story and sketch "by me", I was enjoying the morning with a great cup of Chock Full Of Nuts Coffee, and a French Cruller Moon Pie, listening to Lynyard Skynyrd's Free Bird CD, when I received a call from JB and Rescue Randy, with an urgent message to meet them at the Christmas Palm Park in dimension seven, and to bring a dimension transporter with enough seating to pick up ten stranded pedestrians. Not normal pedestrians but Santa Claus himself and a few of his Elves, and a Beaked Gnatdoobian part time Christmas delivery shuttle pilot. Who while on route to drop off a load of one thousand pink Flamingo Whirligig's in Key West Florida, the pilot made a major mental error while connected to the "CGS" cerebral guidance systems pilot lounge chair, he fell into a deep Gnatdoobian REM "recalled early memories" deep sleep, when the elves noticed the pilots rapid eye movements, and jerking body motion jumping out of the lounge doing an erotic calypso dance they realized they were in trouble, but were unavailable to wake Santa, who was along on the trip to do some fishing before the Christmas rush, but was himself asleep in the galley, they hit the "NPEA" north pole emergency alert button, Which sends a direct alert from anywhere in any universe or dimension to JB and Rescue Randy the most interesting living tissue crash test dummy in the Cosmos. He and JB are also the galaxies most reliable first responders. Seems the pilot was dreaming of his fun times as a youth visiting the Christmas Palm Park, his REM brainwaves directed the transporter to here where it crashed, Santa you may notice is holding a memory eraser wand, he is about to use it on his elves and pilot, in a few minutes they will have no memories of the crash or much of anything else, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.
I managed to grab a quick shot of this Starling before it flew off to feed its young. As it was a grab shot I accidentally underexposed it. The Nikon D750 has great potential to recover shadows so I was able to end up with a reasonable exposure but it was a pretty ordinary photo. Then I had a brainwave and decided to go the other way and increase the contrast to produce a silhouette which I think is a lot better. I really quite like this one as it's a wee bit bit different.

Déja Vu vs DoYa View: Do You Experience Such Coincidental Alignments Of Random Things? - IMRAN®
Have you ever had one of those oddly timed coincidences that feels too precise to ignore? I experience a lot of those. Not the type of déjà vu brainwave—of having experienced that exact moment before and knowing exactly what would unfold in the next few seconds—but actual verifiable alignment of various unrelated things, despite total randomness.
This weekend, on October 10, 2025, I grabbed another handful of unread magazines from my piles of thousands that I’m working to browse and send to recycling at my Long Island home. Among them was a July 2018 issue of GQ, which I placed on my dining table in New York to browse during dinner and dispose of.
I’d owned it for over seven years but never flipped through it—mostly because I’d been spending so much time in Florida. An artist named Zayn Malik was on the cover.
The name Zain is of personal significance to me in another not-so-secret, precious part of my life. But I didn’t recognize Zayn. I’ve never followed One Direction and had no prior awareness of him in the band or as a solo artist. Still, something about his Pakistani heritage caught my attention, so I looked him up.
Here’s the weirdness: that same day—October 10, 2025—he released a new single. So the moment I finally engaged with a seven-year-old magazine cover featuring someone I’d never heard of, he happened to drop new music. It was so random that if it were in a movie, the audience would laugh at it as one of those “yeah, sure, like that type of coincidence happens in real life.”
No algorithm prompted me. No playlist suggested him. Just a perfectly timed sync between a forgotten magazine and a new release from someone I had literally just learned existed.
This Zayn “moment” wasn’t serendipity. I have no direct connection to him or even his music. But it was one more entry in a long list of strange, well-timed coincidences that seem to follow me. Do you have similar experiences and stories to share?

What started out as a "Sunrise morning", quickly turned into an "is it even worth being here" morning, with extremely dense fog and constant rain... And then we had a brainwave... WATERFALLS!!
Did a lot of hiking today, causing tired legs and an ouchy little toe, but totally worth it.
Fade away and radiate

Vibrate soft in brainwave time
Silver pictures move so slow….
The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen

I made a JALKOW collection, last year, in sort of homage to John's photostream and his JOHN Collection: the concurrent of the JOHN Collection. 'Not expensive, yet not cheap!'
So, big credits go to John and his trust.
This year, I had another brainwave, with lots of chairs and tables, so here it is: the JALKOW collection 2.
santa_sangre seems to have a bunch of brainwaves in common with me. I did ask if there was a smoke machine to use, which I used to bloom the light a bit more. But I didn't ask for her to bring metallic mylar sheeting or a metallic outfit, but that led us in some very interesting direction.
Lightpainting details: I painted with my gen3baby board connected to a 1 meter strip of APA102 LEDs over a 30 second exposure. With smoke from a smoke machine.
The seasoned wanderluster who bristled past me on Glasgow’s Glasssford Street was obviously heading due south - but any sight of a hitchhiker’s handmade cardboard sign will always and forever bring a smile to my face, as it’s a magical reminder to Bill Forsyth’s unforgettable 1981 coming-of-age movie Gregory’s Girl (culture.fandom.com/wiki/Gregory%27s_Girl).
This little gem was Forsyth’s paean to growing up in the West of Scotland with a young ensemble cast portraying school days’ and first-love angst. Of the many magical moments, there was definitely something in the air - to coin one of the movie’s recurring gawky teen phrases - in the scene with Andy (Rab Buchanan) and his equally hapless and inept sidekick Charlie (Graham Thompson) trying to realise their dreams of hitchhiking from Cumbernauld to Caracas, in the belief that women outnumber men there three-to-one.
When the scene came, and the teenaged boys held up the handmade sign, Forsyth said, “Cut! Cut!” and turned to his set designer to tell her that she’d spelt ‘Caracas’ wrong. She was just about to correct the sign, only for Forsyth to suddenly have an improv brainwave and the happy accident scene of Charlie pointing out to Andy that it’s not spelt “C-A-R-A-C-U-S”, and no wonder they’d been standing there for hours with no cars stopping to pick them up!

It's magic! Look! A floating briefcase! Hope you like the effect as much as I do.
The 'every-room-has-it's-own-colour' is not really working here. I hoped that brown would be eyecatching, but instead it looks a bit dull. Ah, who cares, that floating briefcase makes up for it, right?

Funny story: a man and wife were behind me and she wanted to take a picture. he wouldn't let her and she referred to me and said - "she's doing it"!! and he said, "yeah - and she's probably not getting anything very good through that glass..." as the tiger moved and we all started to walk away, he turned to me and somewhat jerkingly said "did you get anything good?" ... i just showed him my pictures and kept my mouth shut. I thought she was going to shoot him right there on the spot!! ...as I smiled and walked on... HAA!! What a brainwave... =D
...I also have several more shots from around this park to process and edit... just haven't gotten to them yet. College projects to do... while keeping a job too... HA!! Crazy life I live.

I have so many aurora photos from Iceland! Well, a lot from that one night the lights came out to play and the cloud cover didn't ruin everything, that is. This evening for some reason I had the sudden brainwave that just as I've collected nice cloud photos over the years that I can use in a pinch to replace a boring sky, I could do the same thing with the aurora shots. Pushing the white balance to simulate a moonlit night isn't that hard. It can be done!
So, I challenged myself to take an outtake from my favorite (daytime) equestrian cloaked photoshoot last year and blend it with an aurora. Better yet, I thought to use a third image as a background and tie the whole thing together, since it doesn't make a lot of sense to have an aurora floating above a flat field of sagebrush. While I considered using shots of the Tetons or Sawtooth Mountains, they all seemed too recognizable, so I opted for the lower mountains surrounding Jackson Hole viewed from Signal Mountain. A big plus: the valley blended so perfectly with the original sage that I could barely distinguish the two.
Then came the challenge of replacing the original afternoon storms with an aurora, and blending the whole thing together (which gave me another excuse to mess with onOne's Perfect Effects - sorry, I promise they're not paying me to advertise, it's just a lot of fun!). And lots of tweaking. And being pretty psyched about the final results.
Photoshop Phriday continues!
