This and many trees like it gave their lives for a small patch of land which now will be use for industrial purposes.
Followed him through 10 trees to get this shot where i can gladly comment "This is a story of human ambition"
This is from a temporary exhibit on magic at the Minnesota Science Museum. The exhibit showed various interactive tricks, explained how they worked, and used them as an illustration of some scientific fact or principle. This is a mirror-box illusion that makes it look like Barb's brother Dave has been decapitated. Obviously, it's all done with mirrors!
Lola ritualistically decapitated the stuffed Santa Claus she got for Christmas, her latest in a string of meticulously-executed mutilations. She's been carrying around his head as a trophy, taking it with her everywhere she goes. Poor Santa, all he wanted was to bring warmth to the hearts of children everywhere.

The Mountain View Farmers' Market has a fish stall. They don't have very many whole fish. Almost everything is canadian wild salmon. Salmon tastes good, but people are really missing out of what the ocean has to offer.
I always thought that it was weird that you could get fish at a farmers' market.

*No actual Pandas were harmed... =)

This bench is located on the Union Dam trail in Patapsco Valley state park along US 40 near Elkridge, MD and leads to the oldest active cache in Maryland. However, the terrain to get to the cache was sketchy and I didn't trust in my ability to get back up once I got down there, so I backed out on it. At least I got a bench picture. HBM!
The famous Derek Hatton did this at Blackpool, on Rigby Road railway bridge.
Sorry it is such a poor Polaroid image. I have better, but they are copyright to the local newspaper.
Staff at the Merseyside PTE's Edge Lane Garage said that their men could not have done a better job if they had been set the task of taking the roof off prior to converting it to open-top operation for use in Southport.
Its replacement is preserved - it was vandalised when on loan to another comunity group:

2014: The bus diaries record that on 16th October 1982 the bus, after going to the North West Museum of Transport soon after the accident, was swapped for another ex-Fylde PD2, CTF627B, which had suffered vandalism when parked up in Skelmersdale, from where we had rescued it. We received £200 scrap for 49NTD.

Visitors to the Current show at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, Hyde Park were directed by the Chapman Brothers with this message.
GET RID OF MEANING. YOUR MIND IS A NIGHTMARE.
Easier said than done when it comes to this art by the Chapman Brothers which features the familiar mutilated bodies and scenes of horrific torture and gruesome ritualised decapitations that do not necessarily contrive to horrify, as this sentence would appear to suggest.
The Chapman brothers are inclined to provide enough comforting context. We Monks were after all invited to enter a brand new swanky art gallery and no art lover as far as we are aware has thus far been harmed or traumatised by a Chapman image.
We entered cautiously and discovered the familiar grim images, scary in a "ghost train" kind of way. The Chapman Klansmen are comedy Klansmen with rainbow socks and comedy smiley faces. The Chapman crucified martyrs are nothing more than harmless corporate Ronald MacDonald effigies, and so very many of them as in the real world.
I found myself failing to "get rid of meaning" by comparing the Chapman Brothers to Richard Dadd, whose "Fairy Feller's" is arguably more horrific, given Dadd's state of mind, but far less horrifically explicit than the Chapman Brothers.
As far as we know the Chapman Brothers are not actually psychotic. They are more inclined to toy with the visitors most visitors go along with the toying. I could not fail to notice two American ladies failing to "get rid of the meaning" They provided me with an in-depth commentary on each particular scene of horror and mutilation as if Ronald MacDonald were a real person and these were scenes from a soap opera, a warped Nazi soap opera.
The miniature horror model show might also appeal to the model makers within all of us boys, seeking the same thrill you might get when you view an architect's model of a new airport or a shopping centre complete with little trees to provide context and scale.
For this reason I did wonder why The Chapman Brothers had not provided a model Hornby Nazi train-set to circulate about the corpses. Yes, I do believe that there is a train spotting model maker and dark grim humour within us all.
We Monks saw "Hell", the earlier Chapman Brothers work which featured similar miniature grotesque models in glass cases. These works which took years of endeavour to construct were destroyed in the cataclysmic MOMART fire in the 2004. They have now been recreated and re-imagined somewhat in the same spirit.
I discussed this with a young "curator" in the gallery. I discovered that the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery was in fact an 1805 listed building and formerly a depositary for gunpowder and such. I again found myself failing to "get rid of the meaning", so I changed the subject and I told her that I was a little scared to go into the central section behind the black curtain, from where I could hear the sounds of horror. She said that I should not be scared and that all would be well if I were to enter..
Beyond the black curtain masked members of the KKK were sitting amongst the visitors watching a Chapman movie. There I observed Mrs Monk sitting next to a KKK pointy hat both of them watching the horror movie as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
There was a Chapmanesque resonance in the movie but no fearful reaction from the visitors. Just the occasional knowing laugh.
Footscray. First roll of Portra 400vc I've shot, it's nice, though scanning it was a pain, spent ages correcting colours.
I'm off to Tassie tonight, so I'll see you flickr people after the holidays!

Demonstrator cab 218 500 (fake number) at the AW Bremen-Sebaldsbrück.
This is a demonstrator for a project where old class 215/216 locomotives were supposed the be modernized, giving them new cabs and new Caterpillar engines.
However, that project was a big farce and were never realized.
There was even a working prototype, that were never used by the DB later sold to a private company that never used as well.
In the end the prototype came back to Bremen where it was stripped for spare parts and then scrapped in October 2010.
I had the luck to see the prototype just 3 weeks before scrapping.

What really draws me to the Nikon F3 models are the ability to replace the normal finder with a waist level finder. Something different, but something I really like. =D But I don't know if I'll get one yet, unless there's a bargin on lenses + the camera at the photo market next week.
Played with a Leica M6 yesterday. Liked it so much I put it on hold, even though there's a pretty good chance I won't get it yet. =p

I realized I had yet to show off the $5 bedframe I bought on Black Friday last year, so here you go. It has posts, not wheels like most frames do, so my bed won't shift around as I sleep. HBM!
Built in the 1920s, the Irish Hills Towers were made to show off the beauty of the surrounding Irish Hills - a part of Michigan where many Irish settled. They were located along US-12, which was once the main connector between Detroit and Chicago, then I-94 was built to replace it, and the entire region began a slow economic spiral as cars took the much faster divided highway. This particular stop languished on until it was closed in 2000. Several other such "tourist traps" lay in various states of decay in the same area.
Here's a photo from the towers back in "the day": www.flickr.com/photos/70251312@N00/9713479864/in/photostr...
Their history, indeed, why there are two towers, is quite amusing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Hills_Towers
