..hence the high ISO to freeze the grasses. Also messed about with the picture profile and white balance.
Happy Fence Friday and well done to the Lionesses.. what an epic fightback!
my weekly ai post
i spat my anger into the cold streets, wore my rage like armor. every sneer was a battle cry, every step a march against silence. behind every crooked brick and broken window, i planted my flag. this is not a smile — it’s a warning

The new "beta" system is the end of flickr as we have known it. I'm getting around it by using a non-English version though this will not last. Such a shame for this to happen as flickr has been such a joy to have been involved with up until now.Where else could one be educated, mix it with your peers and meet so many wonderful people?
Maybe a waste of time considering the way the world is turning these days but people power has changed things in the past and hopefully we can too. We don't want everyone to stay with the older version but we do want that option as we find it the most beneficial for those of us who admin award groups and art challenges.
I won't lay down and except it without a fight and I hope you will show you support as well.
THERE WILL BE A GENERAL PROTEST ON RED SUNDAY, APRIL 6. PLEASE JOIN IN.
the anti BETA protest art group.... for any art works or links pertaining to the new 'BETA' system.
Please spread the word in all the other groups - and thanks!

The 6G34 01.58 Hindlow to Banbury Reservoir Tarmac service conveying limestone for HS2 has just pulled out of the up loop and is passing the marina.
The branch to Kineton MOD veers off to the left, tamper DR73947 working 6J62 waits for its next move.
In 2009 Fenny Compton was thrown into the national spotlight after its village hall was chosen at random for the start of the fightback by victims of the Post Office scandal.

This channel mark sits just off Point Henry near Geelong. It was named after the brig "Henry" that first charted Corio Bay in 1836.
Point Henry is the site of the former Alcoa Aluminium smelter. Unfortunately like most things industrial these days it has closed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYld5rkxG6g
We don't make anything in Australia anymore! We even import most of our workforce. But that's the Brave New World we live in. You really should read Aldous Huxley's novel. Although written in 1932 it is being used as the blueprint for our immediate future world (check out the World Economic Forum website www.weforum.org/great-reset/).
This article sums up my position fairly well (it's not long and I urge you to read it). www.opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/conspiracy-theories-a...

Here is the another one from Harden/Cootamundra trip last weekend. Found this tree standing alone between canolas. This was captured just before the light hits the tree. Feel free to share
Story 8/52
-----
the days
Most days, she wanted to break it. The mirror, that image of herself. That constant feeling of failure, of
not being enough. Of never being able to deal with the world the way everyone else does.
But then there are days when she smiles, when she finds it easy to look outside. When the stone of anxiety doesn't weigh her chest down.
It's not getting better, she's well aware of that. But some days, a few days every once in a while, she finds that she can deal.

In case you missed the last photo I posted, I'm posting a daily project on my blog. Go take a look! The link is on the bar below.
This young Thai boy took a nasty blow to the face and lost the first round. He fought back and won the second round and then wrested the gold medal by taking the third round of the final.
Luxottica forgot Rule #1 of Laboratory Fight Club - make sure there are no fully-charged, high-power laser scalpels lying around!
"Pain... *zzzzt*... does not compute... *zzzzt* systems failure imminent..."
"Crashing?" Lotta asks, full of mock concern, "have you tried turning yourself off and on again?"
"Initiate self-destruct... T minus 60 seconds..."
Lotta makes her excuses and leaves hurriedly...
... but sixty seconds later no explosion comes... and Luxottica is nowhere to be found...
After WWII Tasmania set about building a massive network of hydro electric dams and stations. This culminated in 1972 with the flooding of the natural Lake Pedder with a magnificent pink quartz beach. The resulting lake is now the largest body of fresh water in Tasmania, and generates a lot of power. But it sparked an environmental fightback that led to the stopping of the Gordon River Dam in 1982.
One of the key people in this Save Pedder campaign was the wilderness photographer Olegas Truchanas. I won't introduce him here, but when I do you will be inspired by how his photography really did change the course of history. His photographs of the old Lake Pedder remind us of what we have lost.

However, hydro electricity is the cleanest most efficient form of energy generation in the world. It doesn't have the problems that either solar or wind generation has. One thinks of the Hoover Dam in the United States that opened up an entire region in the desert. Las Vegas would not have been possible if not for that project.
In 1965 the Hydro Electric Scheme in Tasmania embarked on an ambitious project to funnel water from Great Lake in the Central highlands, down a 3,000 foot drop over the Great Western Tiers mountain range. They named this place "Poatina" (an aboriginal word for "cave or cavern"). The reason was simple, for the power station itself is housed under ground. Here is some historic footage that explains the project at the time: www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=_8jJk9EGLz8
What we see in this photograph is both the pipeline and the electrical substation.

Another from a visit to the wonderful Wollaton Hall and Deer Park. The Hall and Autumn complimenting each other.
Historic Wollaton Hall is a Grade I Listed Building dating back to 1580.
During 2011, it was used as Wayne Manor for the filming of The Dark Knight Rises. Christian Bale (who?) played some superhero character called Batman. Well feck all that shit, Wollaton Hall basks in its own glory, year in year out. That batman malarkey was a blip in its history.
Wonderful colours of Autumn.

Autumn just keeps giving and giving and Wollaton Hall and Deer Park is no exception.
Far too many 'and' in this description and here's another :)
