Inside of the cathedral in Antwerp.
Taken with my fisheye lens standing against the door. I didn't defish it - firstly I like it more like this and secondly I would have lost a big part of the picture and it wouldn't have looked 100% anyway
The city got a raving review in the travel magazine of condé Nast;

My daughter thinks it looks like a building that is inside out :)

Inside a bodega, Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain
60 of 365 Bokeh - the sun was shining again today :-) I love the colours and patterns that you can get with this combination, it is quite hard to choose which one to post :-)
...looking out. I don't often use the little flash that came with my EM1 MKII, but it has done a sterling job here. I was standing in almost total darkness listening to the water drip from the cave roof. I had to take several shots to try and get the composition right, because I couldn't see enough of what was around me.
A traditional British Bank Holiday, sit inside and watch the rain. Could have done without the drive back from from Devon to Birmingham through 3 hours of rain. Time for more tea I thinks.
Oh, happy Easter!
Saint Mark's Basilica is a monument made unique by both its wealth of history and the magnificence of its façade and interior. In essence, it is a splendid workshop, where, through the centuries, worked great Italian and European artists.
Most of the present structures were built during 12th and 13th centuries, although a church was there in the same place from at least 6th century. The church is rich with engravings, sculptures and paintings inside by renowned artists and the outside i decorated by marble columns and picturesque engravings on the facades. It is such a historic beauty of architecture and art blended so ornately..
The Church and St.Marks Square also was very important in the political, social and art history of Venice and so of entire Europe.
The interior is based on a Greek cross, with each arm divided into three naves and emphasized by a dome of its own and one dome above the crossing. The dome above the crossing and the western dome are bigger in size than the other three. This is based on Justinian's Basilica of the Apostles in Constantinople. The marble floor (17th century, but underwent many restorations) is entirely tessellated in geometric patterns and animal designs. The techniques used were opus sectile and opus tessellatum.
The upper order of the interior is completely covered with bright mosaics containing gold, bronze, and the greatest variety of stones. The decorated surface is on the whole about 8000 m2. In the most ancient works, both Byzantine and Gothic influences can be recognized, as for example in the Saints from the 11th century between the windows of the apse. In the vault above is a mosaic with Christ Pantocrator. From the apse towards the entrance (from east to west) one can contemplate the history of Salvation in the domes: the Prophets, the Ascension, and the Pentecost (Whitsun). The domes over the transept are called St John’s (stories of St John the Evangelist) and St Leonard’s (with other saints). In the vaults between the domes are represented episodes of Jesus’ life.
As mentioned above, restorations and replacements were often necessary thereafter, and great painters such as Paolo Uccello, Andrea del Castagno, Paolo Veronese, Jacopo Tintoretto, and his son Domenico took part drawing the cartoons. Titian and the Padovanino prepared the cartoons for the sacristy, built in the late 19th century. Among the mosaicists for Titian's cartoons, was Valerio Zuccati of Treviso, and his brothers.

1st place winner in last year's 2nd quarter competition for the International Registry of Children's Photographers (irocp.com). I had to be quite patient as this little one squirmed and inched herself into this oh-so-perfect pretzel.

Guess it's not impossible to fotograph bathing twins at all, took this a few days ago when she felt better again.
This cake is for my 1 year old niece. I was asked all week what this weeks cake was going to be- with my response being- "It's a cake, a cake of a cake...". I got lots of blank stares and puzzled looks.
The candle and the 1 are gumpaste. The top cake is being used as the babies' smash cake...Unlike the decorated chocolate facade, the inside cake is white with buttercream, 10 inch round.
let's go back to a time
when sleep was not a fear
and dreams didn't turn into nightmares
this is all because of you that
i've come to despise something i used to love

lately i've been so inspired by her. her photos are so breathtaking and dreamlike and she is way too talented.
day twenty two
immaginate cosa doveva essere nel pieno del suo splendore ...
Il Palazzo (noto anche come il Palazzo del Comando) era composto in origine da due edifici distinti e di diversa altezza che furono poi uniti nel corso del XVI secolo. Era caratterizzato, come gli altri edifici della piazza, dalla presenza di un portico con archi a sesto acuto al piano terra e da cornici in cotto intorno alle aperture dei due piani superiori. A partire dal “400 la facciata iniziò ad essere affrescata con decorazioni ed emblemi di varia natura, ed in modo particolare dagli stemmi dei Governatori, che con il passare del tempo occuparono l’intera superficie. Nel Settecento e Ottocento la facciata venne interessata da interventi edilizi piuttosto invasivi che hanno portato alla perdita di numerose decorazioni. Il recente restauro ha restituito lo straordinario repertorio di stemmi ed emblemi che testimonia quasi cinquecento anni di storia cittadina.
