Sometimes they go a long way.. For the exhibition Cha Cha about THE Dutch Rock and Roll artist Herman Brood, they re-built the part of his house where he painted.
A lovely sight at this time of the year, fresh new honeycomb being constructed by young, wax-making bees. It takes more than 6 lbs of honey to build one pound of wax, so this is an expensive process. However, new combs are healthier, harbouring fewer viruses, bacteria and pesticide residues than old combs, so beekeepers try to turn over their old combs fairly regularly. The geometry and architecture of the hexagonal cells is so perfect and regular that back in the 18th Century French scientists proposed that the internal diameter of the cell should be used as the International Unit of Measurement, before the centimetre was defined.
George Vere as Captain George Harrison in 'The Starship Osiris' which is at The Underbelly during Edinburgh Fringe.
Is Harrison a hero or a swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood?

"Mommy, Where Do Eggs Come From?"
I assume the wooden brooding boxes (right of center) are the older style, but the boxes in the chicken coop behind my parents' house were more primitive yet, being hammered together from scrap wood long before I was born. I don't know if the circular-opening boxes are more recent than the open-front rectangular ones; but perhaps the extra privacy would outweigh the smaller area for prospective inhabitants of these henhouse habitats. The sloped tops serve dual purposes: they help to deter rats dropping from the ceiling (where you have grain, you will have rats), and they help to deflect rain from leaky roofs.
The device in the center is a scale, for weighing feed sacks and Cousin Josh. The sprayers in the foreground (on top of the chicken crate, right of lower center) are for pesticides: flies, mites and grain beetles. Before the mid-1960s, they would have been loaded with DDT, long banned in the United States.
I checked out the bird nest again today. I carefully moved a tree branch to get a better view and realised that the nest was empty. I just had time to see two blue/green eggs, but before I could get a photo of that the mother to be flew in and gave me the evil eye.
/me is currently listening to Reverence by The Jesus & Mary Chain
Rummaging through iPhoto and the the picture and the music met somewhere in the middle.
Met mijn nieuwe speeltje, een voorzetlensje voor mijn 60 mm macrolens.
Een geringe scherptediepte maar details van insecten enz. zullen wel leuk worden...hoop ik.
Momma and brood walk the fence, Toronto, Dufferin and Eglinton area. Unseen in this picture, one more for a total of six. Between the damage to my trash and yard this seems about right and about to get right worse
Brimham rocks with a bit of topaz adjust to add some brooding atmosphere. Just playing with processing!!
Tin City, Stockton Beach NSW
During the Great Depression of the 1930s a group of squatters constructed a series of tin shacks at the site which is approximately 11 km south west of Anna Bay. During World War II the shacks were torn down to make way for an Army camp but were rebuilt after the war was over. Today, 11 of the shacks, known collectively as Tin City, remain but no new shacks may be built. Nor can existing shacks be rebuilt if they are destroyed by the elements. Tin City was used for several scenes in the 1979 movie Mad Max.
Misty mountain peaks in the heart of the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness, Alaska.
It is a 653,179 acre (2,643.32 km sq) expanse of pristine wilderness that contains two deep and narrow fjords: Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm. Each of these is more than 30 miles (48 km) long; one-fifth of their area is covered in ice.

As a teenager I spent many a happy day climbing at Bowden Doors. Sitting high on the ridge that separates the coast between Belford and Wooler, it's composed of a sandstone, known as the Fell Sandstone. It can be found forming high crags from Lowick all the way to Rothbury. The Simonside Hills are formed of the same rocks.
