2008 gingerbread house part 3
This are the gable ends 2 for each house, the candy canes I made
to fit the openings of the window it will be no gaps so please don't be alarmed:-)
the siding is made gum paste, {sugar) by combing 2 colors and gluing it into
the gingerbread with royal icing, egg white and powered sugar and tartar cream
so it can dry very fast and make it unbreakable, to be continued.
GUM - Russia's oldest shopping center In the heart of Moscow, on Red Square, is the oldest and most famous shopping center in Russia.
GUM 15 is an emission nebula in the Vela constellation, around 3000 light years from earth.
Perhaps a somewhat less familiar designation, the GUM catalog contains a total of 85 nebulae. It was put together by astronomer Colin Stanley Gum (and hence named after him).

Background graduation is due to the ‘heel effect’ where the tungsten target in the X-ray tube itself partly filters the beam it produces, fewer X-rays, higher energies, reduced image contrast towards the right of the screen which is furthest from the cathode.
Smile on Saturday! :-) In the Style of Hans Heysen
Hans Heysen is one of Australia's best known artists . Most of his paintings are of the Australian bush . He was born in Germany 1877 and died in 1968 . ( We live on Heysen Ave. ) Many of the streets in our area are named after painters .
If one Sweet Gum seed pod stacked image is cool then isolating the pod and duplicating it should be cooler, especially if it's Slider Sunday.

Red sap oozes out of the bark, hence red gum. The ants must have been getting nectar.
I went for a short walk in the bush the red gum had just started flowering but not much else.
Gum tree.
It stands tall like a silent sentinel watching over it's domain.
As for the cloud formation, nothing.
No rain.

A drive up to Mt. Coot-tha was another rewarding experience. The flowering Gums caught my eye straight away ! At 'home' amongst 'fellow' Gums. The beauty of Australia.
The beauty of these eucalypts in the morning sun would have made the entire 13.5 km bushwalk in the Freycinet National Park worthwhile in itself. I felt a genuine thrill when I saw the way the sunlight highlighted the freshly exposed new bark as the older layers had been shed and lie on the forest floor. Nature renewing herself. I'm not a tree hugger, but I could easily hug these beauties.
If you enlarge this shot you'll see the scribbles on the bark from which the trees get their name. The latest scientific information on this was discovered by Australia's premier science agency, CSIRO:
"The ‘scribbles’ on scribbly gums are an icon of the Australian bush, but until recently very little was known about the cause of these distinctive scribbles. A team of CSIRO researchers were the first to uncover the mechanism by which the scribbles are made, along with the biology and lifecycle of the moths responsible. In the process they described eleven new species of moth and redrew how the Ogmograptis species fit into the moth family tree."

“Autumn is the time when Nature takes her watercolor to the trees." by Laura Jaworski.
This was nearing the end of a long day out with the camera. It started with the alarm call at 2.30 am and a dash down to Talacre Lighthouse in North Wales for a sunrise, that sadly was an underwhelming affair. A detour to catch a waterfall shot at Plas Power Wood on the way back North before later heading for a walk in the Lake District.
I went up Gummers How in the hope of catching some late light and had better luck than sunrise at least! There were quite a few folk taking in the evening light on the ridge at Gummers How, but no photographers, which was a little surprising.
Any way, the views from up here across the length of Lake Windermere are very good with the Western and Central Lake District Fells as a nice backdrop. It was a most unusual summer sunset with low cloud streaming over the Old Man of Coniston and Dow Crag just after I took this shot. Here the sun is setting directly behind those Mountains, bathing the side of Gummers How in golden light, I tried a number of settings and this was actually shot at f22, purely to try and get a nice sunburst.
I stayed on well after sunset before returning down and I got some nice red after glow too which I may post at some point!
