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;
I had to nip into town to buy a new Old Tom glass. So while I was there I bought a bottle or two of Old Tom to go with it.
Hints of dragon fruit and raspberry. Oh no, hang on, that's the candle.

My daughter thinks it looks like a building that is inside out :)
Who am I to argue.... It reminded me of the old shape of 4:3 TV screens

Inside a bodega, Sanlucar de Barrameda, Spain
...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.

Every time when I am ill Maybe is looking sad.it seems she is sick too.
I did not post or comment the last days because I was in bed with some guy named: pneumonia.
Now I feel a little bit better but still had to be inside the house so I can not go out for a walk with Maybe, poor girl, she is so devoted to me when I don't feel very well.
Guess who is sick too? My cam! A new Nikon D40. I hope he will be soon repaired!
Top tier is lemon cake with lemon buttercream. Bottom tier is vanilla cake filled with strawberry buttercream.
Client requested my Where's the Party cake....with a few changes. She wanted only 1 candle, a scrolling 20, and skittles on the board instead of the various balls. I decided to switch the stacking order. I thought the bow would be better showcased on top of the present instead of hanging off the side. I wanted to add the gift tag...as it's almost another one of my signatures....lol =P I really like how this cake turned out....really fun and playful and just oozing colour =D
My husband loves to see me dressed demurely (in my veil!!) at the start of our little weekend parties. I think he relishes the contrast with the way I always behave later - as the evening develops!
My current lovers The Duke of Northumberland and Sir Harry Rakefield are among this weekend's guests at Lyndon Towers - they will both be staying with us until Monday lunchtime, in the marital suite. On Monday afternoon I am driving up to town in my red E-Type, ready for a busy night at my Mayfair Escort Service! Life is busy for a working Duchess!
Lots more to come soon, but bye bye for now!
Love and Kisses to All!

This is the front of the one I sent to Julie, jgmehlin. Liberated crosses with Fassetts and black/white fabrics. Organic horizontal quilting. Scrappy binding.
This is what REALLY happens after the keepers and camera operators go home for the night....... Tai Shan sneaks into the camera room to watch all of his favorite shows on the big monitors. Right now da Sooperpanna is watching Kung fu Panda, The Munsters, Gilligan's Island, and The Roadrunner.
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
