Alas poor Yorick, your Skull
Was looking ever so dull !
Only in the Dark of this Night
Your Eyes are shining bright
Alas poor Yorick
No need to be euphoric
A Star fell off from Heaven
When the Clock struck sharp eleven
Alas poor Yorick, please remember
This Night won’t last forever ….

This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

I made this one-image photo using a two-axis, computer-controlled device. The coin was held in place using a banana clip and positioned on a rotary stage, while a linear axis moved the coin 35mm to the right. Both linear and rotary movements were made simultaneously, taking a total of 6 seconds. (X35 A55 F150)

L'épicerie du coin, Moustiers Sainte-Marie, France.
Depuis 1981, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie est classé parmi les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Église, remparts, chapelles, aqueduc, fontaines, alliances d’eau et de pierre, tons pastels de tuiles et de tuf façonnent un ensemble architectural homogène et vivant.
La douceur de vivre qui s’en dégage incite naturellement à respecter et à valoriser ce lieu, à le découvrir et le protéger. Le travail de la terre, perpétré depuis des siècles, est le trait d’union entre l’Histoire et l’avenir du village.
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie fait partie du Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon, à cheval sur les deux départements du Var et des Alpes de Haute Provence, qui s’étend sur 46 communes et regroupe sept grands ensembles paysagers.

i changed this title at the last moment. I liked the way it is composed. Funny because it is a drive by shot with no real plan other than to get the shot. Sometimes it works and most times it does not.
Happy Window Wednesday
My keychain.
One and All is the motto that represents unity and inclusiveness and reflects the spirit of Cornish people. The fifteen balls (bezants/coins) on the shield is the coat of arms of the Duke of Cornwall. The bird is a chough and is a small, glossy black crow with a long, curved red bill and a symbol of Cornwall. The crown represents the Duchy of Cornwall. The miner and fisherman represent the trades of what once brought Cornwall much wealth.
This keychain holds my keys and reminds me of my Cornish roots day after day.
HMM!
Macro Mondays: Keychain
Coins are used infrequently nowadays as most of us rely on notes or card payments but in the past, they were very important, particularly gold and silver coins.
This is a history of the 20th Century Kings and Queens of England in silver coins. The first two are silver rupees from India, followed by two Australian silver threepences and finishing with Canadian silver dollar!
Two or three weeks ago I put a photo into the Macro Mondays group that I called 'Staying Alive' where I used this 50 pence coin in a different composition. Well after I'd finished shooting that image I was about to clear up the patio table where I'd taken that shot when I noticed this bee on the ground. And you'll know what I mean when I say that you sometimes see bees on the ground that are very sluggish and almost unresponsive. This was one such bee. The gears started to whirl in my brain and I thought - Why not! So I gathered it up on a piece of cardboard and gently nudged it onto my coin and took a couple of quick shots. I then put him gently back onto the ground and let him bee...
So before anyone reports me, no bees were harmed in the making of this image!
