Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!

Pano-Sabotage shots collaged with some straight "SOOC" imagery, then mirrored and layered in panels and edge treatments.

The iPhone 6 doesn't do night shots very well but in this case the lights on the trees and the reflections on the marble and in the windows provided just enough for this image to be useful.

On Unst, Shetland’s northernmost island, a striking Viking longhouse and ship replica offer a vivid glimpse into Norse life and legacy.

Unst is believed to be the first landfall of Vikings in the North Atlantic, and today it boasts the highest density of rural Viking sites in the world—over 60 longhouse remains have been identified across the island. The Viking Unst Project, centered in Haroldswick, brings this history to life through two captivating reconstructions: a 9th-century longhouse and the Skidbladner, a replica of the famed Gokstad ship.

The longhouse, built using traditional materials and techniques, stands as a tactile interpretation of Norse domestic architecture. Its turf walls, timber frame, and central hearth evoke the communal warmth and practicality of Viking living. Visitors can explore the interior freely, gaining insight into how families cooked, slept, and gathered in these elongated, multifunctional spaces. The reconstruction draws on archaeological findings from three key Unst sites—Hamar, Underhoull, and Belmont—each revealing layers of Norse settlement from around 1025 to 1220.

Just steps away, the Skidbladner rests beside Harold’s Wick, its sleek silhouette echoing the seafaring prowess of Viking explorers. Modeled after the Gokstad ship discovered in Norway, this replica showcases the craftsmanship and navigational ingenuity that enabled Norse expansion across Europe. With its clinker-built hull and graceful curves, the ship is both a tribute to Viking engineering and a symbol of their adventurous spirit.

Together, the longhouse and ship form a compelling open-air museum, accessible year-round and free to explore. They’re not just static displays—they’re immersive storytelling tools, anchoring Unst’s identity in its Norse heritage. Whether you’re tracing the footsteps of settlers or marveling at maritime design, these reconstructions offer a tangible connection to a time when Unst was a frontier of Viking ambition.

Hangin’ on.... by Sherrianne100

Created for Artistic Manipulation Group:

CHEF dsm8954 calls this challenge “Tag, You’re it” and wants us to use graffiti (plus other elements) to emphasize the contrast between real world and artistically created ingredients. (Read carefully and don't skip the footnotes! Lots of details here to absorb.)

➤ Your image must use a color SOOC* image of a surface, such as a wall, train car, barn, bridge, old box truck, etc.

➤ You must use self-created**, hand-drawn-looking graffiti on this surface (graphic drawings and/or typography).

➤ The subject of the graffiti must relate to LOVE.

➤ Your image must contain at least one non-human creature (bird, ape, giant grasshopper, alien, etc.) that is part of the overall scene, outside of the graffiti. (Cartoon characters are allowed if not copyrighted material.)

➤ No added textures outside of the graffiti.

Could little Ollie the Opossum actually 'fall' for a graffiti princess? No pun intended....
