Continuing with my Embryo? story; yesterday morning I went to check it out and found it flattened but not squashed as seen in the first part of this diptych. It rained all day and later that afternoon a friend of mine suggested that I gently open it to see what it looks like inside, which I did as seen in the second part of the diptych. Does anyone have any clue what this is please?
Continuing my Riverdale Walks and Toronto Vintage Postcards (early 21nd century) series...
On a recent walk through Riverdale, I spotted this golden scene on these rolling hills in the East side of Riverdale Park.
Two years ago I did a seasonal series with this very spot, capturing it month after month... But I must say November that year was much more modest in the respect of golden foliage.
Continuing a series of experimental photos with a Kodak No. 1A Autographic Jr. (circa 1917). All settings are mentioned as they appear on the camera. If you are lost, I suggest starting with the first photo in the corresponding album.
I had the chance to visit the old Heinz factory, which has since been turned into lofts. One of the more "abstract" photos I took were of the chimneys next to one of the ornate brick corners of the main factory building. If it weren't for the light leak, it would've made a fine photo.

We continue to be visited by the rosette spoonbill on a fairly regular basis. Apparently, he loves our pond! While most of the time he shows up with other birds, in particular white ibis, white egrets, and/or white storks, he will, once in a while, show up by himself.

On a dramatically beautiful sunset last week, I had my out-of-body and lens experience on cityscapes of Toronto... It's always exciting to capture the flow of light particles in whimcical sunset dimensions.
...all brought to you by my manual zoom and ICM magic :-)
Continuing my Titanfall 2 builds, I can present to you the ridiculously hard-hitting Titan Legion.
Legion is the first Titan I build, which is based on the heavy Ogre chassis from the first game. This allowed me to use some sturdier joints and hinges, which comes in handy to hold the big gatling gun.
I also did some minor changes to Ion, updated his pictures and added one of his back.
Since this is my last build for this year, I just want to use this opportunity to say: THANK YOU! :)
2016 marks my first really active year on flickr and I was absolutely blown away by the amazing feedback!
I want to thank all the people who visited my Photostream, who commented, who added my pictures to their favourites and especially my followers and the people who take their time to read all of the nonsense I write :D
I truly appreciate being part of such a great and active community!
I wish you all happy holidays and a wonderful start into the new year!
UPDATE: I added pictures of him without the baseplate.
Continuing Toy-ronto Life & Byzantine Side of Toronto Planet series :-)
It's time for my globular magic again! Happy Miniature Sunday, Origami edition! :-)
This is the August entry for my series of seasonal globular digi-magic upon our Toronto as seen from the Riverdale Park toward Broadview Avenue, filled with the cute buildings of lovely Greektown, the Byzantine-like church including :-)
It was one perfect August day with the good mix of the sun and clouds on my Byzantine planet .... and this time I helped my origami Canada Geese to fly over the little Toy-ronto planet to their destination :-) Seems that the spells of origami - globular - texture digi-magic are working very well together!
A note about origami: I have designed this model of Canada Goose some time ago for some greeting card project... but not came around to diagram it yet. So, happy folding something else :-) ...say in our online Origami Studio www.oriland.com/studio/main.php
New Adventure Travel is continuing to roll out its all-over magenta fleet livery, and Optare MetroCity OM140 is the first example allocated to Swansea depot. She operated for a few months without fleetnames, but Adventure : Swansea names have recently been applied, giving her appearance a 'lift'.
She is one of a pair that were new to GHA Coaches and were snapped up by NAT when the operator abruptly ceased trading.
This March 2021 shot was taken on King Edward Road in the Brynmill area when she was operating Service 43, which links the City Centre and Morriston Hospital via many of the suburbs in the west of the city.
In 1949 (the year of my birth), Horsham was a sleepy market town recovering from World War II. Rationing was still in place and would continue until 1954. The population of the Horsham district was circa 60,000. It now stands at circa 150,000. It has increased by 12% in the past 10 years and by 50,000 since 1981. The town seemed to change forever with the arrival in 1965 of the Sun Alliance insurance group and its five storey office building. We hadn’t seen anything above two storeys until then.
Although the new money brought in by Sun Alliance led to some improvements in the town, it has lost a lot of its charm. For instance, North Street (where the Sun Alliance building is located) used to house the Fire Station, a doctor’s surgery, a great record shop and my first dentist! All now long gone as is St. Mark’s church, only the spire remains.
Speaking of dentists, my first dentist was called Lancelot (yes, Lancelot) Bufton. A visit to his surgery filled you with dread. His instruments of torture surrounding the chair resembling those cranes you now see on top of skyscrapers under construction. That is when they were still using gas to knock you out!
The pavement on one side of North Street was raised about two feet above the surface of the road, a throwback to the times before tarmac when the road would be a sea of mud. The raised pavement allowed pedestrians to reach their destination relatively unscathed.
The fields where I used to roam free with my mates are now all covered with new housing. I guess we were lucky that we were able to roam free. Seems it’s not possible these days.
The photos in my collage focus on the older parts of the town that still mean a lot to me. The Bear Inn was my sometime local in the sixties. At the time you could get eight pints of bitter (King & Barnes, brewed in Horsham) for £1. Mind you I was only earning about £6 per week. All relative. We were married in the Town Hall.
Horsham. My home town.
oh, thinking about all younger years
there was only you and me
we were young and wild and free
now nothing can take you away from me
we've been down that road before
but that's over now
you keep me coming back for more*
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it's hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't to hard to see
we're in heaven
Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down
nothing could chang what you mean to me
there's lost that i could say but just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
I've been waiting for so long
For something to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you...

Continuing rarity. This striking male has delighted birders for over a month at Markham Park, Sunrise, FL. Found it interesting that this small tanager has a crossed bill.
The seemingly inseparable pairing of 90041 and 90049 continue to do just what they were built to do.... move containers from one end of the country to the other with ease! The pair are seen flying through Acton Bridge in the early morning light.
Indeed last week, the pair were in charge of 4S50 on no less than 4 occasions (Wed-Sat inclusive) with the only exception being on Tuesday with 90046 and 90042 performing the honours. It was also the case with the southbound workings with the pair being bolted to 4L81 Tue-Fr (inclusive) with the only exception being the first 4M11 of the week on Monday.

Hello dear friends!
1st of 2 new pics today ☺☺☺
Snow began falling here this morning! (2018-10-29)
So I thought to post some warm Summer Memories! :-)
Isn't nature wonderful :-)
I loved the way this flower rose up & over the water... but still
remained off to the side of the treeline reflection upon the water :-)
Something special in this composition for me :-)
Sometimes rules go out the window when we're photographing, eh? ;-)
This was taken in July, and the day began gorgeously at 04:24 that morning :-)
A huge fog bank rolled in around 05:00, but luckily the sun peeked out again, which allowed me to capture this shot over the canal at 05:35 :-)
Dedicating this one to all the wonderful friends who continue to visit
from time to time... even though I can't upload so often.
You inspire me endlessly! ☺
I truly appreciate your kindness & support :-)
Thanks a million everyone!
You guys are the best :-)

CRUSH
The Grade I Listed Bishop's Palace, Wells, Somerset.
Construction began around 1210 by Bishop Jocelin of Wells but principally dates from 1230. Bishop Jocelin continued the cathedral building campaign begun by Bishop Reginald Fitz Jocelin, and was responsible for building the Bishop's Palace, as well as the choristers' school, a grammar school, a hospital for travellers and a chapel within the liberty of the cathedral. The chapel and great hall were built between 1275 and 1292 for Bishop Robert Burnell. The windows had stone tracery. Stone bosses where the supporting ribs meet on the ceiling are covered with representations of oak leaves and the Green Man. The building is seen as a fine example of the Early English architectural style.
In the 14th century, Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury continued the building. He had an uneasy relationship with the citizens of Wells, partly because of his imposition of taxes, and surrounded his palace with crenellated walls, a moat and a drawbridge. The 5 metres (16 ft) high three-storey gatehouse, which dates from 1341, has a bridge over the moat. The entrance was protected by a heavy gate, portcullis and drawbridge, operated by machinery above the entrance, and spouts through which defenders could pour scalding liquids onto any attacker. The drawbridge was still operational in 1831 when it was closed after word was received that the Palace of the Bishop of Bristol was subject to an arson attack during the Bristol riots. These took place after the House of Lords rejected the second Reform Bill. The proposal had aimed to get rid of some of the rotten boroughs and give Britain's fast growing industrial towns such as Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford and Leeds greater representation in the House of Commons; however there was no rioting in Wells. The water which filled the moat flowed from the springs in the grounds which had previously chosen its own course as a small stream separating the cathedral and the palace and causing marshy ground around the site. The moat acted as a reservoir, controlled by sluice gates, which powered watermills in the town.
The north wing (now the Bishop's House) was added in the 15th century by Bishop Beckington, with further modifications in the 18th century, and in 1810 by Bishop Beadon. It was restored, divided, and the upper storey added by Benjamin Ferrey between 1846 and 1854. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1548, Bishop Barlow sold Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset the palace and grounds. These were recovered after the Duke's execution in 1552.
In the 1550s, Bishop Barlow sold the lead from the roofs of the great hall. This resulted in it falling into a ruined state. It can be seen in an engraving of 1733 but was largely demolished around 1830 by Bishop Law. He created a "more picturesque ruin" by removing the south and east walls and laying out and planting the area previously occupied by the great hall. The palace was used as a garrison for troops in both the English Civil War and Monmouth Rebellion after which it was used as a prison for rebels after the Battle of Sedgemoor.
Bishop Kidder was killed during the Great Storm of 1703, when two chimney stacks in the palace fell on him and his wife, while they were asleep in bed. A central porch was added around 1824 and, in the 1840s and 1850s, Benjamin Ferrey restored the palace and added an upper storey. He also restored the chapel using stained glass from ruined French churches.
The palace now belongs to the Church Commissioners and is managed and run by The Palace Trust. The main palace is open to the public, including the medieval vaulted undercroft, chapel and a long gallery, although the Bishops House is still used as a residence and offices. There is a cafe overlooking the Croquet Lawn. The palace is licensed for weddings and used for conferences and meetings. The croquet lawn in front of the palace is used on a regular basis. The palace was used as a location for some of the scenes in the 2007 British comedy Hot Fuzz, and more recently in the 2016 film The Huntsman.

Camel hair
Pencil, from Old French pincel, from late Latin penicillus a "little tail" originally referred to an artist's fine brush of camel hair, also used for writing before modern lead or chalk pencils.
Though the archetypal pencil was an artist's brush, the stylus, a thin metal stick used for scratching in papyrus or wax tablets, was used extensively by the Romans and for palm-leaf manuscripts.
As a technique for drawing, the closest predecessor to the pencil was silverpoint or leadpoint until, in 1565 (some sources say as early as 1500), a large deposit of graphite was discovered on the approach to Grey Knotts from the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale parish, Cumbria, England.
This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. It remains the only large-scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form.
Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead.
Consequently, it was called plumbago (Latin for "lead ore").
Because the pencil core is still referred to as "lead", or "a lead", many people have the misconception that the graphite in the pencil is lead, and the black core of pencils is still referred to as lead, even though it never contained the element lead
The words for pencil in German (Bleistift), Irish (peann luaidhe), and some other languages literally mean lead pen.
The value of graphite would soon be realised to be enormous, mainly because it could be used to line the moulds for cannonballs; the mines were taken over by the Crown and were guarded.
When sufficient stores of graphite had been accumulated, the mines were flooded to prevent theft until more was required.
The usefulness of graphite for pencils was discovered as well, but initially graphite for pencils had to be smuggled out of England.
Because graphite is soft, it requires some form of encasement. Graphite sticks were initially wrapped in string or sheepskin for stability.
England would enjoy a monopoly on the production of pencils until a method of reconstituting the graphite powder was found in 1662 in Germany.
However, the distinctively square English pencils continued to be made with sticks cut from natural graphite into the 1860s. The town of Keswick, near the original findings of block graphite, still manufactures pencils, the factory also being the location of the Derwent Pencil Museum.
The meaning of "graphite writing implement" apparently evolved late in the 16th century.[18]
Wood encasement
Palomino Blackwing 602 pencils
Around 1560, an Italian couple named Simonio and Lyndiana Bernacotti made what are likely the first blueprints for the modern, wood-encased carpentry pencil. Their version was a flat, oval, more compact type of pencil.
Their concept involved the hollowing out of a stick of juniper wood. Shortly thereafter, a superior technique was discovered: two wooden halves were carved, a graphite stick inserted, and the halves then glued together—essentially the same method in use to this day.
Graphite powder and clay
The first attempt to manufacture graphite sticks from powdered graphite was in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1662. It used a mixture of graphite, sulphur, and antimony.
English and German pencils were not available to the French during the Napoleonic Wars; France, under naval blockade imposed by Great Britain, was unable to import the pure graphite sticks from the British Grey Knotts mines – the only known source in the world.
France was also unable to import the inferior German graphite pencil substitute.
It took the efforts of an officer in Napoleon's army to change this. In 1795, Nicolas-Jacques Conté discovered a method of mixing powdered graphite with clay and forming the mixture into rods that were then fired in a kiln.
By varying the ratio of graphite to clay, the hardness of the graphite rod could also be varied. This method of manufacture, which had been earlier discovered by the Austrian Joseph Hardtmuth, the founder of the Koh-I-Noor in 1790, remains in use. In 1802, the production of graphite leads from graphite and clay was patented by the Koh-I-Noor company in Vienna.
In England, pencils continued to be made from whole sawn graphite. Henry Bessemer's first successful invention (1838) was a method of compressing graphite powder into solid graphite thus allowing the waste from sawing to be reused.
United States
Pencil manufacturing.
The top sequence shows the old method that required pieces of graphite to be cut to size; the lower sequence is the new, current method using rods of graphite and clay
.
American colonists imported pencils from Europe until after the American Revolution. Benjamin Franklin advertised pencils for sale in his Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729, and George Washington used a three-inch (7.5 cm) pencil when he surveyed the Ohio Country in 1762. William Munroe, a cabinetmaker in Concord, Massachusetts, made the first American wood pencils in 1812.
This was not the only pencil-making occurring in Concord. According to Henry Petroski, transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau discovered how to make a good pencil out of inferior graphite using clay as the binder; this invention was prompted by his father's pencil factory in Concord, which employed graphite found in New Hampshire in 1821 by Charles Dunbar.
Munroe's method of making pencils was painstakingly slow, and in the neighbouring town of Acton, a pencil mill owner named Ebenezer Wood set out to automate the process at his own pencil mill located at Nashoba Brook. He used the first circular saw in pencil production. He constructed the first of the hexagon- and octagon-shaped wooden casings. Ebenezer did not patent his invention and shared his techniques with anyone. One of those was Eberhard Faber, which built a factory in New York and became the leader in pencil production.
Joseph Dixon, an inventor and entrepreneur involved with the Tantiusques graphite mine in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, developed a means to mass-produce pencils.
By 1870, The Joseph Dixon Crucible Company was the world's largest dealer and consumer of graphite and later became the contemporary Dixon Ticonderoga pencil and art supplies company.
By the end of the nineteenth century, over 240,000 pencils were used each day in the US. The favoured timber for pencils was Red Cedar as it was aromatic and did not splinter when sharpened. In the early twentieth century supplies of Red Cedar were dwindling so that pencil manufacturers were forced to recycle the wood from cedar fences and barns to maintain supply.
One effect of this was that "during World War II rotary pencil sharpeners were outlawed in Britain because they wasted so much scarce lead and wood, and pencils had to be sharpened in the more conservative manner – with knives.
It was soon discovered that incense cedar, when dyed and perfumed to resemble Red Cedar, was a suitable alternative. Most pencils today are made from this timber, which is grown in managed forests.
Over 14 billion pencils are manufactured worldwide annually. Less popular alternatives to cedar include basswood and alder.
In Southeast Asia, the wood Jelutong may be used to create pencils (though the use of this rainforest species is controversial).
Environmentalists prefer the use of Pulai – another wood native to the region in pencil manufacturing.

Happy Miniature Sunday, Origami Edition :-)
Toying with origami and presenting the fabulous Old City Hall of our Toy-ronto :-) which I have photographed from the rooftop of New City Hall last spring on Doors Open event, but kept for the special occasion.
And the special occasion is that Yuri and I were invited to participate in Toronto Doors Open 2013, on May 25 - 26, and we are going to show an Origami version of Toy-ronto in the City Hall!
See City Hall's announcement! www.toronto.ca/doorsopen/2013/cityhall.htm or see Doors Open Toronto facebook page here and here .
So we are now preparing the display with origami toy-versions of some prominent sights of Toronto, including this Old City Hall.
If you are in Toronto last weekend of May, you are welcome to our exhibition in City Hall. The Doors Open is a free event!
So all this gave an idea for this image, using one of the elements of origami added to the miniaturized tilt-shift scene :-)
More of toy-some tilt-shift fun is coming - stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran ;-)
Oh, yes, we will be teaching some special origami on Doors Open event too, so drop by and learn some cool origami and see what origami can be!
Continuing to explore the capabilities of the Canon FD 200mm macro lens. Shot on a gloomy and damp morning with autumn foliage in the background.
At the southern end of a stretch of beach known as the North Gare Sands, there is a line of stones and driftwood running parallel to the River Tees. Past this and the sand continues at low tide down to the river itself. However, the sand is rather disconcertingly soft around this point and walking across is quite tiring as your feet sink with each step.
Our photo experiments continue! Here a photo shot through a Holga lens on Canon's EOS M. We used a Fotodiox EF to EOS M adapter as well as an ESO M grip to keep that slippery little camera under control while shooting. The camera's cropped sensor diminishes the Holga's trademark vignetting a bit, but we still get those retro toy camera visuals. Not bad for a $20 lens.
