A sci-fi dwelling and its off-world inhabitant, beyond the city’s edge. Part of a larger display for Bricktastic 2026
The house is a modified Lambrecht lego sphere. I used the online generator to export one and then modified it in Studio.
The Cliff Dwellings of Manitou Springs. These were stolen from other cliff house sites and conjoined into this mishmash for a tourist attraction. These structures are from different places and cultures. Still, it's interesting enough to visit.
While climbing to Sheh Palace I saw those stupas on my left facing the Himalayan hills of Ladakh.
The Tibetan word for Stupa is Chorten (མཆོད་རྟེན༏), which means "the basis of offering".
A stupa is a mound-like structure containing Buddhist relics, once thought to be places of Buddhist worship, typically the remains of a Buddha or saint.
Fundamentally, a stupa is essentially made up of the following five constituent parts: a square base, a hemispherical dome, a conical spire, a crescent moon, a circular disc
Each component is rich in metaphoric content.
For example, "the shape of the stupa represents the Buddha, crowned and sitting in meditation posture on a lion throne.
The components of the stupa are also identified with the five elements – earth, water, fire, air, and space – held to constitute the fabric of manifest existence.
"When a great teacher passes away, his body is no more, but to indicate that his mind is dwelling forever in an unchanging way in the dharmakaya, one will erect a stupa as a symbol of the mind of the buddhas"
( HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche)

There are plenty of very picturesque and quaint houses in Luss. Captured on a wee visit, some coffee and cake and of course photographs on a clear, but wintry Saturday afternoon.
Took a while to get this film finished as I have about 3 or 4 cameras on the go at any given time at the moment.

Philadelphia Zoo
Built in 1875-76 as part of a Shaker Village at this location; since the 1930s the main classroom and administration building of the Darrow School. New Lebanon, New York.
This is the doorway of the Wentworth Dwellings building on Goulston Street where Jack the Ripper left the torn piece of apron belonging to Catherine Eddowes underneath the anti-Semitic graffito that was erased before it could be photographed in the early hours of September 30 1888.
They couldn't photograph it when they saw it due to how dark it was but Sir Charles Warren, head of the Metropolitan Police, was concerned about anti-Semitic violence if the public were to see it if they waited for daylight to arrive.
I took this shot on a very slow speed film (8 ISO), just to see if I were able to get a shot of it in the available light. I wasn't sure if the buildings would block the light.

From my scanning project . . . I was fortunate to visit and photograph the Puey Cliff Dwellings in 1999. But it was an area heavily damaged by the Cerro Grande wildfire that devasted much of Los Alamos, New Mexico. The cliff dwellings were closed for many years, until it was finally reopened about 5 years ago.
Of course because I was shooting this back in 1999, I was actually LEARNING photography at the time (or teaching myself, rather)--something that I really got to see as I was doing my scanning project. Umm, soooo many good shots were blown by really newbie goofs. This particular trip was due to a maladjusted lens hood (of course that IS one of the benefits of digital, as you can immediately see your screw-ups, and reshoot things then and there.)
I should not be allowed to browse on Rightmove.com, or Globrix, or Gumtree or Redtube.
When animals are caged they develop pacing behaviours. When I am caged in an office, tethered to a desk I develop browsing behavior on the internet for the ideal flat.
I should be blocked from all letting agents’ websites.
I am a heinous, time wasting browser.
I see a flat that I can immediately imagine myself living in; I picture myself slobbing around in dusky pink cashmere pyjamas, trailed by a kindle of kittens. I imagine where exactly I would install my fantasy piece of furniture – a pole dancing pole, flanked by antique Venetian mirrors. I imagine bringing my dream man to this perfect dwelling, plying him with wine, before slowly undressing him and laying kittens nose to tail along his naked body and, like a plate spinner on Paul Daniel’s Magic show trying to keep them all purring simultaneously.
All these thoughts flash through my mind as I stare at a blurred, and badly lit photograph of half a doorway, a 50 quid Ikea wardrobe made of corrugated cardboard and a 3 bar electric fire all at a jaunty angle.
In those 30 seconds of pondering my whole future happiness has become dependent on me living in that flat. Suddenly my life cannot go on until I have arranged a viewing.
I ring up.
I book a viewing.
In the thirty seconds it has taken to do this I have changed my mind.
Suddenly I imagine all of the wine I will no longer be able to afford. The bars I will not be able to go to in order to meet the man who I will spread with kittens. The silk ties I won’t be able to hoard, the amount of cashmere pyjamas I will probably need to be wearing as I won’t be able to afford to put the heating on.
I go to bed as two people, on my left side in a cold sweat that I won’t get to live in that flat, on my right side a cold sweat that I will. I have read the same page of The Shining ten times whilst thinking about sofas and it is the bit where Danny is saying RED RUM a lot – and instead of revelling in the horror I am thinking about evenings spent spinning round a pole to Shakira whilst glugging on cocktails.
This week my perfect property was a live/work studio in a huge industrial warehouse. I spent two hours leading up to the viewing imagining the eclectic, battered furniture, huge unpainted canvases, bare pipes, the dappled light through the gaffer taped windows, the deep-thinking, long eyelash’d artists who I would run into on the rusty iron staircase who are pondering just how much they love kittens and women in gasmasks as they toy with a tiramisu.
As I got to the viewing there were two other couples circling the agent predatorily. We eyed each other suspiciously and growled. We had clearly each been having our very separate, personal fantasises about this apartment, had imagined all of the ways our lives would change once we start flushing the toilet of this place rather than the one we currently flush. It’s like getting a new mobile phone and feeling as if a whole new set of people must surely come as a package with the phone that will text
and phone you and invite you to a whole new world of ring tones and buttons configurations.
I look around the various warehouses and I am starry eyed in wonder and love as if Jeremy Clarkson has just walked up to me and handed me six bunches of supercar keys and said, “Here, have my life, I don’t want it anymore.”
It is as I am leaving the industrial yard that reality hits and I realise that I probably wouldn’t even make it up the three flights of external stairs on my first night without being mugged. And what would I do if I even made it home to this vast empty space? I couldn’t then afford wine or food or friends or clothes.
If I met Jeremy Clarkson he too would probably be a massive waste of money with no heating, a funny damp smell and would threaten to kick my back door in all night.
So every agent who I email should get a warning at the end saying, ‘this applicant is a flippertigibbet, a fantasist’ give her a night to toss and turn over this, there will be no viewing, no kittens.
But it is jolly nice to receive those chummy emails updating you on new properties. It’s as if a very thoughtful friend is writing to you, trying to better you, move you forward in life. It certainly makes a change from reading emails from the health and safety department demanding that I take the temperature of all the toilet bowls in the office and put up signs asking employees not to trim their pubic hair over the sink in the kitchen.
Unforgettable Namibia Photography Tour with Christoph Fischer (beautysurroundsyou.com/namibia-photography-tour/)
Originally took this to "prototype" a morning shot with the sunrise. Look closely and you can see the stars starting to come out. The next morning was pretty foggy and there was no sunrise, but the fog provided for other nice shots.

This building on Goulston Street is the Wentworth Dwellings building, & is where Jack The Ripper left the torn piece of apron belonging to Catherine Eddowes in one of the doorways on September 30 1888.
The apron was found underneath some anti-Semitic graffito which was controversially erased before it could be photographed, but Sir Charles Warren, head of the Metropolitan Police, was concerned about Anti-Semitic attacks. There were some tensions at the time.

The Berber residents of Matmata, Tunisia, have resorted to living in underground troglodyte dwellings to escape the summer heat.
It was inside this doorway in this building on Goulston Street where Jack the Ripper left a torn bloody piece of Catherine Eddowes's apron underneath some writing in chalk which said "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing."
It was discovered by PC Alfred Long at 2:55 AM on the 30th of September. Sir Charles Warren, head of the Metropolitan Police, arrived at 5:30 & ordered the "Juwes" message to be erased immediately. He justified it fearing there would be anti-Semitic riots against the Jewish community. This was a highly controversial decision that is still debated today.
The misspelling of the word "Jews," & Warren's decision to have it erased has fueled so many conspiracy theories, most notably in Stephen Knight's book which implicated the Royals & the Freemasons. It has long since been discredited.

Tree stump gnome house, with red door and red heart pouf coming out of chimney. A pile of logs off to the backside of the dwelling, 5 trees, and a pebble walkway. Home sweet Home sign with direction posts.
Cavate Dwellings. Native Americans dug these rooms or chambers into the face of a cliff composed of soft volcanic tuff. The cavates (cave rooms) often served as additional rooms for the pueblos built along the cliff. This village was occupied Native Americans about 500 to 900 years ago. Bandelier National Monument. Los Alamos Co., New Mexico.
Pfahlbau Museum of Unteruhldigen, Baden-Wuerttemberg Germany. The buildings which are on stilts are "reconstructions" of dwellings from the Bronze and Stone Age. I think they did a wonderful job and the visit was worth the 7 euro.
I could see some wonderful pictures here sunrise or sunset.
Cavate Dwellings. Native Americans dug these rooms or chambers into the face of a cliff composed of volcanic tuff. The rows of holes in the rock indicate that a pueblo had been built on this site. The chambers dug into the cliff served as additional rooms at the rear of that structure. Note the snake-like petroglyph on the face of the cliff. This village was occupied Native Americans about 500 to 900 years ago. Tsankawi unit. Bandelier National Monument. Las Alamos Co., New Mexico.

This Clio looked well travelled, to say the least. I felt the ornate nature of the house it was parked up at suited the worn out look of the car, so had to include them both! H reg models are seriously uncommon now, I have only seen three in the time since early 2010 now, you would have thought something so popular would have stuck around a little longer....
