Dueling Dragons / Dragon Challenge
In memoriam of this once great ride. 1999-2017 RIP.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Challenge
To be fair, it was never the same since the themeing was butchered to not upset Harry Potter too much and then when they stopped the Dragons dueling it rather lost what magic remained.

This was taken in 2012, after the dueling was stopped, so thru the magic of photo-trickery (10 separate shots) I have restored the duel & more.
More of the same sort of fakery here Block Violations (flickr set)
Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. Massive glaciers are protected in Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, which runs on geothermal power and is home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. Iceland is it the most sparsely populated country in Europe.

Thank you, Sir, may I have another? Another slice of cake, that is. Such delicious debauchery could only be created in San Francisco's most naughty of kitchens. What sexy dominatrix or burly leather daddy wouldn't want to take a bite out of this? I've no doubt the Marquis de Sade would have been pleased . Let your sexual taste buds run wild. Give in to your inner chocolate submissive. Surrender to your San Francisco Cake Master. You deserve a good fondant spanking from the crack of his sugar whip.
Obedience training is necessary. Restraint, an absolute must. All naughty girls and boys can find both at FIREandICING.com.
Happy Leather Pride to all of the wonderful , kinky dominas and daddies in San Francisco and beyond.

"Creatures of Saintly Disguise"
June 9th, 2012
The world of pop-surrealism is abundant with oddly-shaped creatures, otherwordly landscapes, unexplained objects and abstract, narrative images. True to this is the flora and fauna captured in JennyBird Alcantara's artwork, as well as the vulnerable, doughy-eyed damsels and creatures that inhabit her paintings. Here, both animal and human come together, either by choice or by nature. Conjoined at the head or the hip, animal and damsel become one, and the duality of human fragility and animalistic tendency coincide.
At this same intersection are the fantastical curiosities created only in the deepest, darkest of dreams. Two one-eyed, deer-hoofed beauties, taken from the painting "Daughter of Icarus", sit atop the ledge of a cake in gentle repose, gazing at their audience with suspicion and vulnerability, while above them two half-human bees ("Don't Stir the Hive") whirl about in contention for the other's honey. At the healm is the Queen of the Riddle Realms, gracefully watching from above in her pretty blue dress, hand-in-hoof, peering out at us through her unimaginable tentacled head.
Saints or not, these figures are certainly "Creatures of Saintly Disguise", and such narratives are best dreamed up by the artist herself. Re-imagining it all in sugar is best left to the kitchens of FIREandICING.com.
Wishing you the darkest, twisted and most surrealistic of sugary dreams,

In September of 1980 these were bright shiny new rings; without blemish, scuffs, dings or dents. In fact, they were much like the bearers of the rings who were young and beautiful with fair skin, thin waists and a wide eyed optimism of what the future held for them. We were married now! We were together for ever! We were a couple in love! The world lay before us! And we would conquer it tog
ether!
Well, 32+ years later. The rings have become tarnished and scuffed. They have been dented, damaged and worn. They have seen difficult times, and in fact, suffered some serious damage and loss which required the diamond to be replaced. They show their age now. Much as do the bearers of the rings. But the fire in the diamond still burns brightly.
As with the rings, there has been great difficulty, damage and loss suffered by the bearers of these rings. But even as the rings have managed to stay intact low these 32 years, so has the marriage of the bearers. THREE rings symbolized the unity of ONE marriage. Likewise, a God in THREE persons has kept that marriage as ONE.
This is not to celebrate the glory of two fallible individuals who managed to stay married through good and NOT so good times. This is to celebrate a God who empowered these fallible individuals to keep their union together .. in spite of their weaknesses and damages suffered.

"There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted."
quote by Henri Matisse
I think it goes for photographers too? Yet some discatrd this and will just copy?
From my garden, a rose called appropriately: Fire & Ice.
These duotoned roses are plump and opulent but are non-fragrant.
The weather was mad, raining, thunder and lightning, so in between showers, you can still see some drops on the petals, drying up quickly though under the studio-light... yep, I rushed out, yep another 'rescue' job, lol.

Somewhere betwixt the thickly-lined coils of one man's brain and the deep recesses of his wonderfully dark mind lies a lone isle. And on that isle a beautiful and haunting creature was birthed. A young siren of porcelain skin, gently folded hand, clothed in Victorian dress. A perfect expression of youthful fragility and innocence, and at the same time an emblem of physical betrayal and contradiction.
Beached on her rock, she flaunts her compromise--delicately patterned tentacles, heavy and entangled, and hinged by sharply, hooked talons. Products, perhaps, of an evolutionary and necessary defense.
Here, on this lone isle, she can find respite and sanctity. Here, she can be championed despite the burden of the anchors she carries--memories, things, people and time--the flotsam and jetsam of life. This is her duality. This is her beauty.
...for Ray. Thank you for your wonderfully dark and imaginative mind.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA), San Francisco, April 5th, 2012.
Book signing tour for the release of Camille Rose Garcia's newest book, "Snow White".
When I learned that one of my favorite artists, Camille Rose Garcia, was going to be at the SF MOMA for her book signing tour of her latest release, "Snow White", I knew I had to pull out the whisk and the mixing bowl.
Garcia’s layered, broken narrative paintings of wasteland fairy tales are influenced by William Burroughs’ cut-up writings and surrealist films, as well as vintage Disney and Fleischer cartoons, acting as critical commentaries on the failures of capitalist utopias, blending nostalgic pop culture references with a satirical slant on modern society.
This cake comprises a culmination of Camille Rose Garcia's beautiful, dark art and iconic, gothic-like imagery. It serves as a sugar tome to the milieu of characters that inhabit her dark and fantastical world as witnessed in her numerous art books: The Saddest Place On Earth, Tragic Kingdom, The Magic Bottle, Alice In Wonderland, and her latest release, Snow White.
The Magic Bottle cake topper holds the secret to saving our planet from greedy oil factories, landfills and giant corporations destroying the last of the remaining wild animals on earth. But, will it be enough to defeat the capitalist machine out to ruin the natural world? You'll have to find out by purchasing her book (or stealing the sugar bottle from me)!
