Spring has officially come to Utah!
Taken with further practice on an Olympus Tough TG-6.
While I certainly wouldn't trade in my DSLR for the "grand" landscapes I seriously prefer shooting the most, there have been gaps in my ability to do photography I've been meaning to fill. Having a durable point and shoot I can practically carry on a trail run is one example. Also, anyone who has followed me for some time knows I sometimes travel in challenging terrain where a heavy, bulky camera could be dangerous under certain conditions. Finally, I have wanted to respond a little more quickly at times to wildlife, though granted that isn't usually my top emphasis. But hey: When it's good it's good! ;-) I'm learning a bit about this right now, and just having some fun too... This time of year it feels like all sorts of opportunities are ahead. I could do anything anytime!
Meccano conversion sets started life as 'A' sets but later became 'X'.
It was a great idea. Someone bought you (say) a set 3 for your birthday and you could buy a set 3X to make up a set 4 and so on until you had the dream of every Meccano child - the set 10.
Everyone knows that I am well known for being on the front lines of fashion. Alas, I must confess to having dallied in my BOM-conversion, but today I started on the revolutionary change.
This picture was taken yesterday for historic purposes.

Andrey Blokhin e Georgy Kuznetsov,( Krasnodar, Russia) realizzano Conversion , che è un progetto site specific allestito nella chiesa di Sant’Antonin, in Venezia.
L’immaginario, la dimensione estetica e parte dell’iconografia, scelta dagli artisti per l’opera, fanno riferimento a temi religiosi di un passato, probabilmente rinascimentale.
L’effetto è molto interessante: entrando nella chiesa sembra di avere a che fare con un restauro in atto ( effetto attribuibile alle impalcature ) e contemporaneamente con l’olografica presenza di fantasmi, dovuta a la rete plastica che struttura l’opera.
Il tema centrale, che tratta con ironia della nuova fede tecnologica rivolta all’uso della rete (e segnatamente di facebook), è un po’ trito e rischia di rendere banale un lavoro formalmente molto suggestivo
Did you enjoy the snow? I know it can be frustrating being around this much snow but it can also be very interesting. We spent last few days running around chasing snow and I got exhausted, so much that I needed 2 days to get back in the mood to edit some of these images. What do you think?
New Zion Methodist Church, Sabine County, near Geneva, Texas
Seeing a sign for a cemetery, and wanting to get out and stretch my legs, I turned down a dirt lane. It was a bit further than planned, but eventually I came upon an old church with a nearby graveyard. More on this to come.

Old warehouses on The River Neckinger, now just a short inlet from The Thames in Bermondsey, which have been converted to luxury apartments. The cranes have been restored to indicate these buildings original purpose.
The name of the river is believed to derive from 'The Devil's Neckcloth'. A slang name for a hangman's noose as this was an execution site for pirates etc in the 17th century.

"Buitenmolen"te Zevenaar The Netherlands
Tot 1866 bleef de molen in beheer als domeingoed (bezit van de landsheer). In dat jaar werd de molen verkocht aan de toenmalige pachter Jac. van Grinten. Diens erven verkochten het in 1879 aan de molenaarsknecht Johannes Gerritsen.
Toen Gerritsen eind 1928 overging op elektrisch malen, leek het met de Buitenmolen gedaan: op 21 november dat jaar zette hij beide roeden te koop. Omstreeks 1930 werden roeden en staart afgenomen en de romp leeggehaald: zo werd de molen een motormaalderij.
Nadat deze in 1955 was stilgelegd, bleef de romp, met daarop een - lege- kap, gespaard. In 1958 werd de molen verkocht aan F.Th. Korthaus, die op zijn beurt de molen in 1966 verkocht aan de gemeente Zevenaar.
In 1969 en 1970 werd de molen gereconstrueerd. Gekozen werd toen voor een echte houten as, evenwel met ijzeren roeden. Beide roeden kregen Oud-Hollandse ophekking met zeilen.
Na ruim 30 jaar, 2002, heeft men bovenas, roeden en voorkeuvelens vervangen.
In de praktijk draait deze molen vrijwel dagelijks.
Technische bijzonderheden:
Het kruiwerk van deze molen is opvallend: het wordt via tandkransen en gaffelwielen bediend. Met de hand betekent één meter touw inpalmen dat de kap één centimeter verschuift. Niet onlogisch heeft men daarom op een zeker moment een elektromotor gemonteerd! Kettingkruien (vanaf de belt, d.m.v. een rondgaande ketting) is evenwel ook mogelijk.

Until 1866 the mill remained managed as a domaine (owned by the lord). In that year the mill was sold to the then tenant Jac. van Grinten. His heirs sold it in 1879 to the miller's servant Johannes Gerritsen.
When Gerritsen switched to electric milling at the end of 1928, the Buitenmolen seemed to be over: on November 21 that year he put both rods up for sale. Around 1930, the rods and tail were removed and the hull was emptied: the mill became a motor mill.
After it was shut down in 1955, the hull, with an empty hood on top, was spared. In 1958 the mill was sold to F.Th. Korthaus, who in turn sold the mill to the municipality of Zevenaar in 1966.
The mill was reconstructed in 1969 and 1970. A real wooden axle was then chosen, but with iron rods. Both rods were fitted with old Dutch fencing with sails.
After more than 30 years, in 2002, the top axle, rods and front gate lens were replaced.
In practice, this mill runs almost every day.
Technical details:
The wheel gear of this mill is striking: it is operated via gear rings and clevis wheels. By hand, using one meter of rope means that the hood shifts one centimeter. It is therefore not illogical that an electric motor was installed at a certain point! Chain crossing (from the belt, by means of a rotating chain) is also possible.

A few of the old, I assume MOD buildings at Dungeness have been converted into homes this being one of them. It has a nice view of the sea and the nuclear power station!

Another slide to digital conversion from my worldly walk about long long ago.
This is in Morocco, late 1970's.
Despite appearances, all these gents were actually very friendly. Honest.
My travel buddy at the time was another American girl. We'd gone to this town and in wandering around found this small, dirt road side street where the affordable "restaurants" were.....meaning cheap, and patronized by locals.
The proprietors of the restaurants are standing in the doors. Inside, it was just one small room, you sat on the floor on thick straw mats, ate off low tables, and there was always plenty of hot sweet mint tea.
We'd go to the open air market, buy veggies, potatoes, whatever we felt like, bring it back to one of these rooms and they'd cook an unbelievable tagine (stew) with it, in clay pots, in fire fueled ovens.
We'd drop off our purchases and come back in an hour, buy our bread here, and go in to eat.
We were the only females, but we were welcome and treated respectfully. We knew a few words in Arabic (very few), some of the men inside knew a few in English, but they spoke French and I was still a bit familiar with broken high school French.
What we couldn't say in words, we'd mime.
And we'd eat.
Some of the best meals I've had, and some of the most pleasant dining experiences.
Have a nice weekend.

This image was taken at Ogwen Valley, Looking out from Cwm Idwal to Pen yr Ole Wen. When I took this image, I knew it had the possibility of being a black and white, more so that colour as the patches of blue sky were quite strong. One of the aspects of black and white photography I love is being able to get that blue sky, jet black.

This is a 2-seat version and is used to give extremely expensive passenger rides.
I have mixed feelings about these modern, 2-seat conversions. Apart from a couple of one-off examples, there were no two-seaters during the war; your first flight in a Spitfire was strictly a solo affair. In the late 1940s, a small number of 2-seaters were manufactured (or converted Mk IXs) for the Indian and Irish Air Forces - about 17 in total. In recent years, several more, otherwise perfectly serviceable, Mk IXs have been butchered to make 2-seaters. The revenue from joyrides helps keeps the single seat aircraft flying. Even so, the T9s are my least favourite Spitfires to see, and I rarely photograph them.
This aircraft, MJ627, is a genuine war survivor and is known to have shot down an enemy aircraft. It appears to be one of the original batch converted for the Irish Air Force in 1950.
If you fancy a flight in the back seat of a Spitfire, be prepared to hand over about £3,000/$4,000 for a 30 minutes experience.

Nick, a friend of many years, runs a fishing holiday business in a South Devon village.
He has just purchased a disused chapel next to his house and made a magnificent job of converting it into a fishing lodge. This is the living/dining area . Quite stunning!!
Ludovico Carracci (Bologna, April 21, 1555 - Bologna, November 13, 1619) cousin of the brothers Agostino and Annibale Carracci. - Conversion of Saul (1587-88) - oil on canvas 279 x 171 cm - Galleria Nazionale di Bologna
Fu commissionata a Ludovico da Emilio Zambeccari per la cappella di famiglia in San Francesco e l'artista si impegnò a eseguirla in sei mesi a partire dall'agosto del 1587.
Si tratta di un'opera eccezionale, nella quale Ludovico crea uno spazio che è già compiutamente barocco, donandoci un risultato di straordinaria intensità drammatica.
It was commissioned to Ludovico by Emilio Zambeccari for the family chapel in San Francesco and the artist undertook to execute it in six months starting in August 1587.
It is an exceptional work, in which Ludovico creates a space that is already fully baroque, giving us a result of extraordinary dramatic intensity.
