Devil in a blue dress, that famous blue dress. Men would gawk with their Southern accents, "my, she's prettier than a peacock." She sauntered through the room and painted the entire room that drowning blue.
Beautiful antique (1930s) brass metal tag with the number "38" cut out of it. On a vintage 1940s mesh chain. I've added a aqua glass briolette and a freshwater pearl to compliment the patina on the brass.
The bracelet is 7.75inches/19.5cms.
The brass tag is 1.25inches/3.25cms.

I think its really hard to get some interesting or new perspective on very famous locations.
This is my attempt at capturing Knowth, one of many megalithic burial sites in Ireland on Sept. 21 2008, with an Olympus SP570 super zoom bridge.
Unlike Newgrange which is a single enormous mound, this site has one larger passage tomb mound and 18 smaller mounds and burials around it.
Dating to around 3200BCE makes them some of the oldest man made structures on earth.
Another thing that makes Knowth different from Newgrange is it has a double passageway one leading from the east and one from the west. Only the eastern one leads to the chamber. But the west one ends close enough to hear someone on the other side of the wall. How intriguing.
We went super early in the morning, there were not tons of people the dew was still on the ground and the sun was low, creating great shadows and that emerald green you always hear about. It added lots of extra mystery as we made our way around the curves or the mounds.
Edited in Photoshop and Viveza and Alien Skin Exposure 7. I did lots of PS adjustment before taking it into Viveza for fine tuning then a couple of different layers with adjustments to presets then some layering and masking to complete the image.
I have a color version also,
which I may post it sometime in the future.
Head brewer Urbain pouring his famous Struise Dirty Horse from the decanter for us to sample. Dirty Horse is a sour ale that is part traditional lambic (70% barley, 30% wheat) and part Flanders Red (Rodenbach yeast used). The result is an amazingy rich, sour, acidic lambic-flemish red hybrid that remains one of the best beers I've ever tried. Struise is considered by many to be one of the best breweries in the world (named Best Brewer in the World by RateBeer.com in 2008), and Urbain is a true artist in all aspects of the word. A very true and real artisan brewer in a world gone commercial.

Apart from the now famous "two kids on a bicycle" by the Lithuanian street artist Ernest Zacharevic, these are perhaps his next two most popular works in Georgetown, Penang - "the boy walking his dinosaur pet" and "the boy on a motorbike", both side by side and may also be seen as a whole.
The famous Oneonta Gorge in Columbia River Gorge was blocked by tons of logs at the gate when I visited last month. But that doesn't stop a lot people since you can find a way climb over them. Interestingly I found a chance to shoot this vortex view, since the logs slowed and changed the waterflow, which is not seen in many pictures, pretty cool to me.
Thanks for stopping by!
The history of the historical old "Indian Stone Church" built in 1870 on Comiaken Hill, and is located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.
Cowichan Valley Old Stone Church.
In the mid 1800’s the Cowichan Indian tribes were one of the largest Indian tribes in British Columbia, and the Roman Catholic missionaries were intent on establishing and gaining a following amongst the local Cowichan Indian communities. One of their earliest priests Father Peter Rondeault, a pioneer Oblate missionary to the Cowichan Indians built this landmark in 1870 with the help of the local Cowichan Indians.
This stone masonry building on Comiaken Hill was constructed using money collected from the sale of the butter churned from the milk of Father Rondeault's cows and that is how this beautiful stone church acquired the name “The Butter Church”.
A very simple bronze plaque explains how the local Native Indian helpers were paid in the construction of the Butter Church; “Helpers were paid through the sale of butter churned by the priest".
Building of the Butter Church.
The Butter Church has had a very rich history since it’s creation on the Comiaken Indian Reserve. In 1931 it was written that the ‘Believe It Or Not’ syndicated newspaper column termed it “The church of no services...in which no congregation has ever gathered”. According to Ripley, “the Indians will not go near it because all those who actually built it died mysteriously”.
There’s no denying that the Butter Church has had a very rich oral and written history since its creation on the Comiaken Indian Reserve. It’s been a place that is steep in the history of the first established Indian contact with European Religion, and over the last 140 years it’s also been a place of unexplained occurrences that have been wrapped in mystery, and intertwined with sacred Native Indian spirituality.

Frances Carr, Countess of Somerset (31 May 1590[1] – 1632) was an English noblewoman who was a central figure in a famous scandal and murder during the reign of King James I.
She was born Frances Howard, the daughter of Lord Thomas Howard (later 1st Earl of Suffolk), second son of the 4th Duke of Norfolk, and his wife, the former Catherine Knyvet. Her father was a wealthy and powerful nobleman during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Her maternal grandparents were Sir Henry Knyvet, of Charlton, Wiltshire, and Elizabeth Stumpe.
Lady Frances Howard was married at the age of 13 to the 14-year-old Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex. The marriage was primarily a political union; they were separated after the wedding to prevent them from having intercourse, with the view that premature sex and pregnancy was to be avoided. Essex went on a European tour (from 1607 to 1609) and when he returned Frances made every effort to avoid him. He was at the time seriously ill with smallpox, but she had also fallen in love with Robert Carr, 1st Earl of Somerset. It is suspected that she might have purposely encouraged her husband's natural impotence by the use of "love-philters" with first Simon Forman and later Abraham Savery. Essex himself did not seem to mind the lack of his wife's company, spending most of his time drinking with other men.
When she finally took the step of annulment, unable to legally represent herself, her father and uncle, Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, represented her and drew up the libel. The situation quickly attracted public attention, and was widely observed by those with "prurient minds". She claimed that she had made every attempt to be sexually compliant for her husband, and that, through no fault of her own, she was still a virgin. She was examined by ten matrons and two midwives who found her hymen intact. It was widely rumoured at the time that Sir Thomas Monson's daughter was a substitute, which is possible because she had requested to be veiled during the examination "for modesty's sake".
The matter was a subject of mockery and ribald commentary throughout the court, including:
This Dame was inspected but Fraud interjected
A maid of more perfection
Whom the midwives did handle whilest the knight held the candle
O there was a clear inspection.[2]
In turn, Essex claimed that he was capable with other women, but was unable to consummate his marriage. According to a friend, one morning (while chatting with a group of male companions) he had stood up and lifted his nightshirt to show them his erection -- proving, if nothing else, he was physically capable of arousal. When asked why only she caused his failing, he claimed that "she reviled him, and miscalled him, terming him a cow, and coward, and beast."
The idea of satanic involvement was seriously considered by the judges and at one point it was proposed that Essex should go to Poland to see if he could be "unwitched". The annulment languished and possibly would not have been granted if it were not for the king's intervention (Somerset was the favourite of King James). James I of England granted the annulment on 25 September 1613. Frances married Somerset on 26 December 1613.
Sir Thomas Overbury, a close friend and advisor of Somerset, had tried to advise him not to marry Frances Howard, but he was a desirable ally for the powerful Howard family. The family managed to get Overbury imprisoned during the annulment proceedings where he died -- curiously enough, the annulment went through eleven days after his death. It has been widely considered that Lady Somerset had him poisoned through an agent. The Somersets were convicted of murder, but spared execution.
Lord and Lady Somerset had one daughter, Lady Anne Carr, who married the 1st Duke of Bedford.
This is the fountain found in the large plaza inside the Knott's Berry Farm theme park. I liked the look of the fountain in front of a palm tree and after taking this picture I found out the fountain is a famous movie fountain which has appeared in movies such as Hello Dolly. After being retired it was moved to Knott's Berry Farm.

The likable robotic Turtle is exploring an alien planet to prepare the landing of the famous Exo Suit when he/she (one day we should choose, maybe voting…or rolling a dice) runs into the pathetic evildoers of the First Order, in the form of a Stormtrooper patrol.
“Hey look! A turtle droid!” Exclaims one of the Stormtroopers.
“Are you sure it’s a droid? It can be a real turtle inside an armor.” The other Stormtrooper objects.
“A turtle inside an armor?! Where do you get these ideas?”
“Well, I thought if we can build a super weapon of plot destruction that violates any known law of physics someone could put a turtle in a armor…”
“That’s a good point” declares the first Stormtrooper.
“But who cares? I say to kill this thing and have some fun”
“Yeah but we torture it first!”
“Of course! Ha Ha!”
Our robotic friend moves the head up and down, looking at the silly troopers and as they attempt to draw their weapons the brave Turtle fires the blaster cannons putting the two First Order servants out of commission.
Next time the followers of the Tantrum Knight will think twice before bothering our little friend because…
No one messes with the Space Turtle.
Now it’s time to go back to exploration duties.
Those First Order Stormtroopers always end up in such unpleasing situations hehe :)
I hope you like this photo :)

Trying to emulate Karine Laval.
Her images seemed harsh and unpleasing to me. But with all art, I think, the longer you study and learn about the process and techniques used the more interesting it becomes and I really enjoyed using her style to emulate her work.
I based my image from her series called Heterotopia. In this series she used mirrors and glass to create space, identity, and perception and to manipulate reflective materials to create layers that convey different meanings, emotions, and to trigger the imagination.

Haworth is famous for its connection with the Bronte sisters, who wrote most of their famous works while living at the Haworth Parsonage (which is now a museum), while their father was the parson at the adjacent Haworth church.

Alaska is famous for the size and ferocity of its...biting insects (bet you thought I was going to say its bears) in the summer. In fact the mosquitos and marsh flies were not terrible for those of us humans who were variously prepared to discourage them. But in many of my bear photos the presence of these pests - especially the flies - is highly visible. They tend to go for the less furry parts of the face where they can easily access a sip of blood through the skin with little or no reaction from the bears. But once in a while, it became obvious a bear had an itch to scratch. Rolling in the grasses or sand served the purpose admirably. And adorably.
