Autumn Ivy Facade shot by Duncan Rawlinson captures a charming stone residence enveloped in a dense tapestry of climbing vines. The image vividly illustrates the transition of seasons, featuring a stunning natural gradient where lush summer greens on the right give way to the fiery reds and oranges of autumn on the left. Soft, diffuse daylight enhances the textures of the grey stone blocks and the intricate network of foliage clinging to the structure. The scene evokes a sense of tranquil suburban beauty, highlighting the dynamic relationship between architecture and nature.

I felt like getting kinda fancy!
This weekend I pained my nails with OPI Kyoto Pearl (the frosty white base coat here). I felt like making it fancier at the end of the week so I did some gradient glitter tips at the laundromat. :)
The tips are OPI "Teenage Dream," and this was actually super easy! I built it up in 3 coats: first a glitter coat on the tips (like for a french manicure), then a second coat from about halfway down the nail all the way to the tips, then a third coat about 3/4 down the nail to the tips. I tried to make the 3rd coat pretty thin as I started it so it would look gradual. Topcoat on top of everything.
I like it! I'm SUPER INTO glitter nail polish now. Oooh, sparkles. Love. I probably should start cleaning up my nail beds and cuticle areas better after I put polish on.
Also, my problem with bubbling that I was having has mostly gone away. I've noticed that several things made the difference - thin coats are good, but VERY important is waiting for the coats to dry. Honestly, I pretty much need to wait like 10 or 15 minutes between coats which seems excessive, but whatever. The final thing I've noticed is that when I do my nails when it's warm, it's way more likely to bubble. Painting in the early morning or at night is the best.
Walking back to the rental apartment from Paddington station, I happened upon this rather colourful wall which followed the particular walkway I was using. I was rather taken by the warm colours on what was otherwise a fairly dull and dismal day.
Contrary to the exif data displayed here, the picture was taken on an old Praktica MTL5 35mm SLR, using 200ISO Fuji Superia colour film.
This picture is among the first shots I've ever taken on a film camera, so I'd welcome any feedback.
