Well, we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
The house below the cliff is The Old Rectory, which was built in 1850 on the site of an older farmhouse. It is now owned by the National Trust and rented out as a holiday cottage. There is reportedly a waiting list of several years as it is in such a stunning location. The raised plateau below Rhossili Down is a solifluction terrace - during warm periods through the ice age, frozen soil would melt and slip down the hill to create what we see today. To the south of the rectory, the plateau is known as the Warren. It is also the site of an ancient village. In 1980, storms exposed bones from the old graveyard and the still standing walls of the church. This led to an excavation taking place where the remains of a medieval village were found. In the late medieval period great storms caused sand to engulf the village, so it was moved to the top of the cliff where it was safe from the sand. The porch was rescued from the church before the sand covered it and was used in St Mary's Church which can still be seen today. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/holidays/wales/rhossili-old-rectory
Wreck of the 'Helvetia', Rhossili Beach, Gower
The ship was bringing a cargo of 500 tons of timber from new Brunswick to Swansea. Bad weather prevented a pilot ship leaving Swansea Bay to guide the Helvetia into the harbour and in worsening weather she was forced to sail down the channel and head for the supposed safety of Rhossili Bay. The ship managed to anchor off the N side of Worms Head but a change in wind direction blew the ship onto rocks. The coastguard managed to get across to Worms Head and fixed a rocket line to the boat, bringing one man ashore. The remaining men tried to stay with the boat but were eventually forced to come ashore in the ships rowing boat as the Helvetia began to break apart. The cargo was washed ashore, salvaged and stacked above high water. The wood was later auctioned, much of it going to the original consignees at a greatly reduced price, much would also no doubt have been picked up and re-used by locals.
The wooden skeleton of a section of the hull is still visible protruding under the sand, with differing tides occasionally revealing more of the structure.

Todays Picture of the Day title is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I shoot all of my pictures in RAW format. I then import them to my laptop and run them through, Aperture, a RAW processing application. For those of you who don't know what that is, its to digital SLRs as a darkroom is to film. All that I do with most of my images is adjust the colors and contrast until the pictures look how I want them. I usually don't do any touchups or alterations to the images. They are pretty much what the camera saw when I clicked the shutter button. Nearly all of the pictures I take, are run through photoshop only to add my watermark.
This picture shows what I see while editing my images. I used to run all of my pictures through Photoshop, until Adobe released Lightroom. Around the same time, Apple released Aperture and I really wanted to try it out, but I was running an older G4 at the time, my machine could not run Aperture. Adobe had Lightroom in a free beta, so I installed it and started learning. After the beta trial ran out, I decided that I liked the workflow so much that I bought it. About 10,000 pictures later, I bought a MacBook Pro. It came with a trial of Aperture 1.5 (I think). I used it but wasn't really impressed, so I kept on working in Lightroom. In February, Apple released Aperture 2 to much fanfair. It seemed that Apple had redone a LOT of the application and a lot of reviewers were touting many of the features to be top notch. They were offering a 30 day trial and I had a wedding coming up so I decided to give Aperture 2 a trial by fire(actually the same way I learned Lightroom). When I finished the wedding shots in half the time as it took me in Lightroom AND the pictures were just as good if not better than the output from Lightroom, I decided to move over to Aperture.
I bought the laptop because I needed a newer machine that I could take with me and actually do some graphics work on (unlike the 12" PowerBook G4 it replaced). I never meant for it to become my main machine. It isn't really great for working on the amount of pictures that I take, but it gets the job done. I can't wait until I can afford to buy a MacPro and a pair of 24" LCDs. Then I will probably be able to shave off another 15-20% of the time it takes sorting and editing the pictures. I think that being forced to sit down in front of a pair of big screens will help cut down on distractions, not having to hide what I am working when someone sends me an IM, and getting sidetracked.
Wow I wrote a lot tonight. I have no clue why I just went on like that but I guess since its a pretty boring picture, I need to justify it by going ON and ON about stuff most of you won't even read. Hey if you have read this far, put a comment on the picture so I won't feel like a complete loser for having wasted about 20 mins writing all of this crap.
Anyways, thanks for hanging in with me this long, and thanks for viewing my Picture of the Day. Thanks for all of the great feedback I have been getting from you all!
Don't forget, I am available for hire...I do portraits, weddings, events, shows, pretty much anything that you want!
Oh I know, amazingly ... not everyone is fond of cats.
But c'mon ... it's impossible to resist the charm of these adorable kitten brothers, who looked so very different and were quite inseparable. So sweet !

Now that I know that you can take photos inside the Birmingham Musuem & Art Gallery, thought I'd go along and take what I wanted (not the paintings).
This is in the part of the museum near Great Charles Street Queensway.
On Friday it opened at 10:30am and I got here just in time before the crowds showed up.
At the end of the Industrial Gallery is the Buddhas Gallery. Beyond here is the Edwardian Tea Room.
This is the Simhanda Lokeshvara.
From Sultanganj Bijar, India - 11th century.
From the same place as the Buddha.
Discovered in 1863 during a follow up excavation at the site of an ancient Buddhist monastery or vihara.
Donated in 1864 by Samuel Thornton at the formation of Birmingham's Art Gallery.
Sign about it's discovery and when the museum got it.
"Do you know what you took away from me.?"
- Also made this for school, we have about Human Trafficking at the moment.

I know I have shot this many times, but it always looks a bit different from other angles and in different light conditions - this is 'destroyer island', the structures left over from two world wars (many islands in this part of the Forth have such emplacements that were to guard Rosyth naval base a little further up river past the Bridge), designed, so legend has it, deliberately so that in profile it resembles an old destroyer's silhouette so if any U-boat made it this far up the Forth they would see this in their periscope and run

Never mind the ice on the reservoir, it's warming up and my bike knows it. It's no doubt coming up with all sorts of plans to torture me this year. Bring it on, it's about time. I hope Sugar Bottom dries up soon so they can open the trails.
A bit more on the blog.
How many times have I come across a story or parable which keeps telling me to seek within? Again and again, and it always sounds wise and even common sense. Yet as I allow time to pass by me and ripen the fruit, the more I get to glimpse a fraction of this truth. And it is 'a fraction'.
"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Guess who that's attributed to?
This last year has been, for me, like 'an axe to break the ice'. Academically I've understood that the treasure lies within, I've known that's where to look, but I've had no real comprehension of what that feels like or how to get there. Now i do.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding, according to Kahlil. Somewhere along the line i consented to it, not in my unconscious sleeping state of the last X many years, through gritted teeth I swore blind it was against my will, but truth be told underneath it all, in that marble, under that ice, I knew the day would (begrugingly) come when I would grant it had been worth it.
And when that day came, all memory of pain dissolves, the old shell falls away, and i am present.
If one goes over to the FBI compound with information on the exact location of a person who is on their most wanted list they will tell you to come back in two days to speak with a live agent during normal business hours. The man there said he knows of no reward that he is aware of ((.....sounds like our telecom here.)) So why bother?
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
Didnt know how to send it to you mate. And for anyone who hasn't bought one of these badass shirts better get on it now! Suoper fast delivery and slaps and badge is much apreciated, but the best thing for me other than the shirt was the letter and what it was writen on you little rebel you!

"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed

That's how it goes ..."

"Todos saben que las apuestas están arregladas
y aún así juegan esperando un golpe de suerte.
Todo el mundo sabe... que la guerra no existe,
los buenos la han perdido desde antes de iniciarla.
Todos saben que la lucha también estaba arreglada:
el pobre permanece pobre, el rico seguirá robando.
Así es como su controversia al sistema camina,
es un secreto a voces que nadie ignora.
Todos saben que la nave está por desplomarse,
están conscientes que el capitán trata de ocultarlo..."
You know if you type the word raspberry enough times you start to wonder if it really is spelt that way!
Last night, I attended the 2nd annual Hope on the Slopes fundraiser at Ski Bowl. It was great to see such a large outpouring of support for cancer research, and particularly to see my company's team rally up donations for this cause. We have a friend in the office who was diagnosed recently, and everyone has been touched by her strength and resilience in the face of such adversity.
If you want to help, you can fight cancer today with a donation to the American Cancer Society. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
In my life
Why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then i found a job
And heaven knows i'm miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time
To people who don't care if i live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do i smile
At people who i'd much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows i'm miserable now
"oh, you've been in the house too long" she said
And i (naturally) fled
In my life
Oh, why do i give valuable time

I know I have been putting up a lot of landscape/scenery pics from Jiuzhaigou lately, so for those of you who nature may be too much I present you with a Tibetan Beauty! I think she's beautiful but I tried some of the food she eats and it's really revolting. I nearly threw up just smelling the yak butter tea ha ha :-)
I'm a Fooly Cooly fan, but I guess my name makes it obvious, anyway.
I rarely smoke. Personally, I don't like cigarettes that much. I prefer hookahs. =)
Yes, I know it's almost June! But I've finally finished editing my massive Winter Wonderland shoot! Not dividing into smaller slideshows like I normally do because there's 6 sets with a total of 145 photos, so I'm going to just do 1 sideshow per set this time around.
Here's set 1: Mrs. Claus
I absolutely love this gown! I wish I had more shots of the train, but we were in a hurry to shoot the inside content before they took all the decorations down!

windspeare: medievalpoc: madamefaust submitted to medievalpoc: I know it’s not 1800s week, but this gentleman is currently on display at the Newport Antiques Show in Newport, RI and I didn’t want to forget about him or his fabulous eyebrows by the time 1800s week happened. John Blanchard Thomas Howland United States, 1850-1857 [x] Thomas Howland was a resident of Providence, Rhode Island who worked as a stevedore and became the first black elected official in the city when he was elected warden of Providence’s Third Ward. He was denied a passport on the basis that he was a person of “African extraction” and thus “not deemed [a citizen] of the United States” - again, this man was an elected official, in addition to being a citizen with voting rights. In 1857, he and his wife and daughter left Providence for Liberia where his wife became a teacher and Howland worked as a sugar manufacturer. That is really cool! I’m going to post this (even though it’s actually an American painting), since this painting’s going to be on display this weekend at the Newport Antiques Show, in case anyone wants to go see it in person! I’m sorry but… Isn’t this another case of an immortal celebrity? #DEAD If this had been anyone except The Rock I could have resisted reblogging but…. Can we just please put him in every single silly action film loosely based on historical mythology pls? P.S. here’s a vase from 5th Century B.C.E. Greece depicting Heracles slaying Busiris:
