I've been out a lot more this year in skinny jeans and ballet flats. An excellent combination, IMHO.

The farmer that owns these buildings keeps bison on his property. I'm wondering if this is where he houses them in the winter.
If Jabba the Hutt was:
• run over by a steamroller
• made a guest appearance in a Flat Stanley book
• painted by a cubist artist
I think he would look something like this.

Nutmeg knows when we are getting close to home. She figures it’s time to play the flat basset game. A 30 second walk to get home will turn into 15 minutes.
Iconic New York shot - The Flat Iron Building Wanted the detail of an HDR....but didn't want it to feel over processed or over coloured. I really like the fact that the smiling face on top of the building is so clear, and the dome is so yellow...and I love the sky.
I'm gobsmacked. This was on someone's car. Evidently when they drove off, they left it behind. If your tires look like this, you're a special kind of stupid.

Granny Flats…
My granny lived in a block of flats
three storey’s high,
I can picture it right now
and I don’t even need to try.
Frangipanis in my hand
teddy in the other,
Slowly up the many stairs
walking with my mother.
I’m staying with my granny
time that I now miss the most,
Her flat with many windows
overlooking the city to the coast.
I would hug her tight and breathe her in
and smell that granny smell,
There’s nothing that replaces it
a tear rolls, it’s just as well.
Hand in hand through the park
and down to Darby Street,
Past our favorite bench
where we would sit and rest our feet.
Talking to the grocer
memories of a time now past,
When bread was bread and milk was milk
and fruit and veg would last.
Heading back with bags now full
much slower than before,
Spending time together
always meant so much more.
Now days grow old as we do
and noon turns into night,
Till there is no city below us
just a sea of starry light.
Teddy in hand and snuggled down
between blanket and blue sheets,
The soft warmth of comfort
puts me straight to sleep.
My granny lived in a block of flats
Three storey’s high,
She would see me from her window
as wave to me goodbye.
A nice flat bed / pickup Mini from the 1970s seen at the 2015 Messingham Show in North Lincolnshire. The Minis on show in the classic car display were from the local Trent Valley Mini Owners Club.
My images are processed to look good on my laptop, and they do look good on there - and on my phone and tablet - I am aware though that some other screens will show my images as either too dark or indeed too light. This is due to individual screen settings and not my inability to produce a clear image ....
This vase is a pyxis: a flat circular box used by women to put away their makeups and jewelry. The lid is remarkable for its handle made with four plastic horses. The animals are modeled by hand and suggest a quadriga.
The choice of the horses is not trivial: it is a very old iconography suggesting the nobility and the wealth of the owner. So this box certainly belonged to a lady of the aristocracy.
This vase dates from the third phase of the geometric style, the Late Geometric period (760-700 BC). The rigorous organization of the decoration emphasizing its circular shape, and the disappearance of black varnished areas in favor of painted decorations, characterize and mark this pixys respect the vases of the Mean Geometric period (850-760 BC).
Hatched petals decorate the lid and the bottom of the vessel, emphasizing its circular shape. The main body is covered with a decorated frieze where the triglyphs alternate to the metopes decorated with deers, swastikas, rosettes, diamonds and checkered patterns.
