Agnes: Hey Bruno! How did you get to go outside while I'm still in here?
Bruno: What's that? I'm having trouble hearing you with that window between us.
Agnes: I said why are you outside while I'm inside!
Bruno: Sorry, still not hearing you well. You said something about a side of beef?
Agnes: No. I asked how you got outside!
Bruno: Really? You want to learn to hang glide?
Agnes: Not hang glide. How did you get outside?
Bruno: We're going for a car ride?
Agnes: No. I asked how you got outside!
Bruno: Really? You like the late 80's rap song "let your backbone slide"?
Agnes: Would you stop talking about Maestro Fresh Wes? I was asking how you got outside.
Bruno: You know, I heard you the first time. I have no idea how I got out here without you, but I do know that you're fun to bug.

Not my first idea for the week. Or my second or third idea. But, It's what the weather and time gave me this week. I was returning from taking Bruno out for a failed solo photo walk when I noticed Agnes awaiting his return at the window. After a couple of test shots, I changed point of view and got this one. If you look hard there's even a bit of Eva in it too.
Slow internet today. Hopefully I'll be back soon with better speed for commenting on other people's photos.
when I hold you
in my arms, love
something changes
It's the strangest feeling
the things that used to matter
they don't matter to me
when I see you
and you're smiling
how my heart aches
so full it is, about to break
you make me believe in love

A very beautiful place in the English Lake District. This was taken just before it started to rain...AGAIN!
3 Shot stitch - Canon 24mm TS-E
It was awesome to be there to witness the beauty of these waves. Actually the roaring sound was more spectacular!

Another one of the shots I took with Ivan's camera before he "stole my shot"*. For this picture I used a 3 exposure HDR for the sky and sand and the 0EV single RAW exposure processed in Lightroom for the water.
Normally I like to stand in the water when taking shots of the lighthouse, but the water was very choppy due to the frequent storms we get here these days. I was too worried to get knocked over and drown Ivan's camera. Again the detail you can capture with the 5D Mark II just amazes me. In the original file you can see the sea grass floating around in the water.
*That's an insider joke in case you are wondering... :-)
I started working on this after seeing the midnight premier of The Force Awakens a few days ago. I loved the X Wings but didn't quite like how they had been remade, so this is my version..it feels good to build LEGOS again!
This picture has the ship with different markings. I am still deciding on which colors look best.

original
1. not derived from something else; fresh and unusual.
2. showing a marked departure from previous practice; new: a truly original approach.
3. productive of new things or new ideas; inventive: an original mind.

Look at it! How did they manage to build this thing? It's all curves and angles. It's bent, twisted and sloping. There's only one vertical line on that edge where two planar surfaces meet before they zoom off into some mind bending perspective. It looks unreal, like Escher sketched it! Actually quiet a bit of the fabric of the Sydney Opera House is just that: unreal. What you can see here that looks like red granite is actually terrazzo, the "marble" of the "sails" is ceramic tiles and where the "front" windows — hidden away to the left and out of shot — are copper-coloured glass, the equivalent space above is actually copper. There are so many deceits.
If you turned around, you'd stare into the low Autumn sunshine making a silhouette of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Estonian-born and US-based architect Louis Kahn was pivotal in getting this place built as a mover and shaker on the design selection committee. Good for him! He is reputed to have exclaimed "The sun did not know how beautiful its light was until it was reflected off this building". I'm really impressed: I managed to spell silhouette correctly. It's a stumbling block.
No, I'm not here doing a tourist brochure for Sydney. It doesn't need one. I'm here because this place is so familiar that on most occassions occasions I wouldn't give it a second look. It's in my backyard, so I ignore it. That's such a silly notion. But it's true. It took me years to walk across the Bridge and visit Wendy's Secret Garden; I haven't been to Luna Park since 1976, and so on.
Most importantly, I'm here because I can. I'm here because its here. I'm here out of wonder and nostalgia. I'm going inside. Here's the thing. I'm going inside for the first time in all of the 51 years since it was opened and 55 years after I was, for the first and only time previously under those "sails". I'm quite emotional.

"Funny"...
So this spare 1/6 scale head is just lying around and he really needs a body. Why not a Lego one? Cyborg Gladiators?...
I'll need to fix the attachment point to his neck; at the moment I feel like it's pushing his head a little too far back, making it look like he's wearing a suit.

...... How Lucky you are if you are indeed viewing my image without distress, discomfort or concern.
If you haven't already done so please take time to view my other image which connects & pieces together the growing problem we often dont think about.
The home of the Coleman family and their mustard empire now an educational trust and only pebble-dashed house I have ever liked!
John Steinbeck said, "No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree." Still, how can one resist trying to capture these stately giants, whether on canvas, film, or memory card? This photo shows my friend, Jackie, camera in hand, surrounded by redwoods at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. She told me later that she was wondering "how can I capture this magic with a camera?"
