IC 6260 thunders in for Boomers at track speed with the blowers and prime movers screaming the song that is unmistakable through the Northwoods. A narrow band of big flakes rains down to add just the right atmosphere to this Deathstar as they drag 145 back to Minntac on a cold January morning.

Tell me all your lies
Play tricks on my mind
I don't care
I switched on the lights
You went on the side
I don't care
Why do you look so confused?
I know what you didn't do
You still want to play your games
I am wiser, I have changed
Yeah, and now the joke's on you
It's a side effect of love to lose control
Just to realize you're better on your own
It's a side effect of love to want it all
You can't get enough until the feeling is gone

A quick phone shot to catch the effect of the sun shining through the clouds, soon after appearing over the horizon.

"Natural Photo" untouched or altered image of the smoke filled skies over Victoria British Columbia Canada . The eerie effect caused by the forest fires on the Vancouver Inland and the extreme heat have has given the sky a dark yellow-brown orange effect and the ocean reflecting brown..
Taking a break from the snow pictures for a while ("a while" in this case probably defined as 24 hours), and encouraged by the -20F temperatures, I decided to try a scientific experiment. Most of us know the effect of garlic on vampires, right? And many of us frequently tie cloves of this aromatic allium around our windows. I always wear a necklace of fresh garlic to repel these creatures as well as to attract the local beauties. (It seems less effective in achieving the later, but that's a different experiment with different variables.) But how many know the results of vampires on garlic? Not many, thought I. Everyone knows that the vampires run (or fly) away, shielding themselves with their capes from the effects, but I don't recall one instance of anyone checking to see how the garlic made out after these confrontations. Poor follow-up, it seems to me. So knowing vampires to be in the vicinity, I placed a clove on a plate to see what would ensue. Remarkably, as you can see, not only did vampiric symbols suddenly appear on the plate in the form of black eyes and long pointed teeth but the garlic sprouted as if given new life.
"Hmmm," said I, in empirical fashion, "I wonder if this means that this particular clove of garlic will have eternal life? And is it possible that the existence of garlic is only due to the presence of vampires? Do I need to do a representative sampling of garlic cloves asking how old they are and hope they don't lie? And if vampires, and thus garlic, disappeared, what would celebrity chefs do? Would they vanish, too?" (One can only hope...)
So many questions but, on this subject, an eternity to discover the answers. In the meantime, I'll be keeping my mind and eyes open for other fascinating areas of investigation and discovery providing insight and enlightenment to share with you, my loyal followers. Since garlic also repels mosquitos and mosquitos are bloodsuckers as well, I'm seriously beginning to have many questions about this bulb and its historical relationships. But all experiments of an insectivorous nature, fortunately, will need wait until summer.

Created using GIMP
Originally, the Harris shutter was a device with three colour filters, allowing the photographer to make a single photo of a time series of shots with different primary colours. When the camera is kept steady, areas of the photo without any change end up having the same colour as in reality, whereas areas where motion takes place give a kind of rainbow effect.
Feeling a little derailed this weekend.
A simple distortion effect, using the ‘Warp’ script in Paint Shop Pro.
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Sliders Sunday.

Le Grand Logis est l'édifice le plus imposant au sein du château. Il offre une façade assez rustique, aux portes d'entrée petites et au ras du sol. La surface du mur est plane et la seule décoration vient de l'accolade et des corniches des fenêtres. Le style est tout à fait gothique, avec un décor sculpté grotesque. Les pierres d'attente visibles à l'extrémité sud de la façade rappellent que François II avait projeté une aile en retour qui se serait étendue le long de la courtine de Loire. Le caractère imposant du monument réside dans ses grandes lucarnes, qui évoquent celles de Blois, d'Amboise, de Meillant et du Verger. Exécutées dans un style gothique flamboyant, elles adoptent un plan uniforme, avec une fenêtre inscrite dans une arche surmontée d'un gâble, le tout encadré par deux piliers terminés par des pinacles, qui sont reliés au gâble par un réseau de pierre transparent. Malgré cette unité dans la disposition générale, les lucarnes sont toutes différentes les unes des autres, par la taille et les motifs de décor. Ainsi, la quatrième en partant de la gauche présente des piliers à double torsade, motif rare dans l'art flamboyant. Une balustrade à jour relie les lucarnes et accentue leur effet aérien, et le tout est posé sur une corniche ornée de feuillage et de masques servant à évacuer les eaux de pluie. À l'origine, les tympans des lucarnes portaient les symboles de Louis XII et d'Anne de Bretagne : des L et des A accompagnés des armes de France et de Bretagne, décor disparu puis partiellement recréé lors d'une restauration en 1861.
The Grand Logis is the most imposing building within the castle. It offers a fairly rustic facade, with small entrance doors and low to the ground. The wall surface is flat and the only decoration comes from the window brace and cornices. The style is completely Gothic, with grotesque sculpted decoration. The waiting stones visible at the southern end of the facade remind us that François II had planned a wing in return which would have extended along the Loire curtain wall. The imposing character of the monument lies in its large dormer windows, which evoke those of Blois, Amboise, Meillant and Verger. Executed in a flamboyant Gothic style, they adopt a uniform plan, with a window inscribed in an arch topped by a gable, all framed by two pillars ending in pinnacles, which are connected to the gable by a transparent stone network. Despite this unity in the general layout, the dormer windows are all different from each other, in size and decoration patterns. Thus, the fourth from the left has double twisted pillars, a rare motif in flamboyant art. An open balustrade connects the dormer windows and accentuates their aerial effect, and everything is placed on a cornice decorated with foliage and masks used to evacuate rainwater. Originally, the tympanums of the skylights bore the symbols of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany: L's and A's accompanied by the arms of France and Brittany, a decoration which disappeared then was partially recreated during a restoration in 1861.
Looking down from the 108th floor of the Stratosphere. The Denny's is where I took Langston to breakfast.
It's a tongue-in-cheek self portrait. Lockdown has not been so bad for me. I'm semi retired so have time to sit and listen to music, read books, write, daydream and think. I'm a lucky man but possessions are not everything in life. Recent restrictions have had an effect on us all. I suppose I have the advantage of being deep down an introvert, happy with my own company if needs dictate. Others are perhaps not so fortunate.

Nanjing Road (en chino, 南京路; pinyin, Nánjīng Lù) es la principal calle de tiendas de Shanghái, China, y una de las calles de tiendas más transitadas del mundo.1 En la actualidad, Nanjing Road se compone de dos secciones: Nanjing Road East y Nanjing Road West. En algunos contextos, "Nanjing Road" se refiere solo a lo que fue Nanjing Road hasta el 1945, en la actualidad Nanjing Road East, ampliamente peatonal. Antes de 1949, el nombre en inglés de la calle era "Nanking Road", usando la romanización estándar de aquella época.
Nanjing Road es el distrito de compras más largo del mundo, con una longitud de unos 6 km, y atrae más de 1 millón de visitantes diariamente.
East Nanjing Road es una zona dedicada a los comercios. En su extremo este está la sección central del Bund, donde se sitúa el Peace Hotel. Inmediatamente al oeste del Bund estaba tradicionalmente la zona de restaurantes y cafeterías, aunque en años recientes se han convertido en menos importantes porque la demografía de los visitantes de Nanjing Road ha cambiado de residentes locales ricos a visitantes de todo el país. Cerca está el Mercado Central, un mercado al aire libre de un siglo de antigüedad especializado actualmente en componentes electrónicos y medios digitales. Más hacia el oeste está el centro comercial peatonal de Nanjing Road. Aquí se sitúan la mayoría de los grandes almacenes más antiguos y grandes de Shanghái, así como muchos comercios domésticos y algunos restaurantes tradicionales con larga historia.

Nanjing Road (Chinese: 南京路; pinyin: Nánjīng Lù; Shanghainese: Noecin Lu) is a road in Shanghai, the eastern part of which is the main shopping district of Shanghai. It is one of the world's busiest shopping streets, along with Fifth Avenue, Oxford Street, Orchard Road, Takeshita Street and the Champs-Élysées.[1] The street is named after Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province and the former capital of the Republic of China. Today's Nanjing Road comprises two sections, Nanjing Road East and Nanjing Road West.
Nanjing Road is located in the city center, running in a west–east direction. Its eastern section is in Huangpu District and extends from The Bund west to People's Square. The western section begins at People's Square and continues westward towards Jing'an District.
East Nanjing Road is a dedicated commercial zone. At its eastern end is the central section of the Bund, featuring the Peace Hotel. Immediately west of the Bund precinct was traditionally the hub of European-style restaurants and cafes, although in recent years these have become less of a feature as the demographics of visitors to Nanjing Road have shifted from affluent local residents to visitors from around the country. Close by is the Central Market, a century-old outdoor market today specialising in electronic components and digital media. Further west is the Nanjing Road pedestrian mall. Located here are most of Shanghai's oldest and largest department stores, as well as a variety of domestic retail outlets, and some traditional eateries with a long history. From the perspective of the historical development of Nanjing East Road, the start and redevelopment of this road were driven by the pursuit of commerce and image. The commercialization of Nanjing East Road has both a promotion and a restrictive effect.

I'm not entirely happy with this one. I'm posting it to see if anyone disagrees. There was a lot of flare in the waterfall area, but I managed to clean it up a bit. The overall effect is a little too crunchy. I may revisit it at some point.

just going back and editing old pictures.
i ordered a remote today. finally.
school starts in two weeks from today.
Use the paper to make different sized tubes and stick down with tape. cover your cake first as it is much easier that way!!!!!
Use the paper tubes to make the pattern in the fondant. Squeeze the tubes to make varying shapes.
Fill in the spaces using the straw and different sized round piping tubes.
Lustre powder colours work really well to bring the pattern to life. Or use an airbrush if you have one.
Add different shades of colour to create depth.
