Following on from yesterday's scene-setter, this is the first of this spring's occasional photos showing what remains of the rural Texas Gulf Coast plains. The photo was taken a mere five miles from the previous post "Darkness at the edge of town".

I think ipernity offers a good visual environment. I wish more of you folks would come over...

This girl took notes in a shopping mall, deep in contemplation. It looks like absolute silence but it was a very overcrowded situation. I had literally a second to compose and shoot.

Looking through photos I took around town only a few years back, it surprises me how much has changed. I don't expect this view to change much more any time soon, but you never know.

A Roman relief of Minerva, the Roman identification of the Celtic goddess Sulis who was connected with the spring. Minerva in her turn here shares a few of the attributes connected with Athena, the Greek goddess she was identified with (note the Gorgon head on her chest). This relief was found during excavations of the Great Bath in 1882.
The waters at Bath were very popular already in Roman times, and they in their turn took after the Celts who had built a shrine dedicated to the goddess Sulis. The Romans built both temples and baths and called the town Aquae Sulis (the water of Sulis).
According to the Anglo-Saxon chronicle the baths were destroyed in the 6th century. But not totally - the spring continued to draw attention to its healing powers, and it is now housed in a 18th century building, one of the central features of Bath. And extensive archaeological research to the Roman remains has also been made.

Well here it is, my favourite shot taken in Cornwall last week (and probably of the year so far). This was the one of the views from the balcony of our lodge, taken early in the morning just as the sun was rising. The position of the bird on the wire couldn't have been more perfect.
I've always wanted to try to create a shot with selective coloring - here is my first try. Thanks to my brother for showing me how to do this:)
This was taken a few miles from East Lansing, Michigan on a crisp autumn day. We spent the day at a corn maze followed by a hunt to find the perfect pumpkin:)
