An old Lama in Salé, Kyirong valley. Kyirong is the valley where the explorer Heinrich Harrer and his friend Peter Aufschnaiter lived almost for one year more than sixty years ago. (Seven Years in Tibet). The Lama invites me into his simple prayer hall and entertained me for yak butter tea and yang (a Tibetan beer). When I was going I presented him a picture of the Dalai Lama. He took the photograph and looked a very long time on it. Then he had tears in his eyes.
I made this photograph with a Hasselblad 205TCC, Zeiss Planar 2,0/110mm, scanned with Nikon Supercoolscan 8000.

January 7th is International Old Rock Day. Here is some very old wood that has been transformed into rock. The Petrified Forest is best known for its Triassic fossils; an ecosystem over 200 million years old
The study of rocks was first introduced by the Ancient Greek Theophrastus in his work, “Peri Lithon” (“On Stones”), and became the cornerstone of geology.

Old saw frame
This horizontal sawmill is still fully functional today.
was originally moved by water power, later
converted to steam power and finally
operated by an electric motor.
During processing, the logs are transported horizontally on
on the eight-meter-long carriage on rails to the saw
and cut off board by board.
The saw blade was built around 1090 - 1895.
Altes Sägegatter
Dieses heute noch voll funktionsfähige Horizontalgatter
wurde ursprünglich durch Wasserkraft bewegt, später
auf Dampfkraft umgestellt und zuletzt durch einen
Elektromotor betrieben.
Bei der Bearbeitung wird das Stammholz liegend auf
dem acht Meter langen Schlitten auf Schienen an die
Säge gefördert und hier Brett für Brett abgetrennt.
Das Sägeblatt wurde um 1090 – 1895 gebaut.
A flickr friend (Hi, Larry) inspired me to go take some more photos of this old house. Thought I'd go see what it looked like with snow on the ground.
Abandoned farmhouse in Svarfaðadalur, N-Iceland.
The empty house around me ticks and creaks,
A moody end to evening's gentle rains,
A brooding quiet as the daylight wanes,
The secret language empty houses speak.
What stories might this house preserve entire
In rhythmic code composed of click and groan?
Does House recall a sadness with each moan?
Is laughter stored in every plank and wire?
And how might I, a fleeting visitor,
Acquire an ear for stories trapped in time,
And wrap a tale or two in words and rhyme?
How can I tap the House's secret lore?
In silence soft the house slips off to sleep.
Alone I sit, in darkness vast and deep.

This is a recent long exposure image of the Old Mill at Langstone. I'v been routing through the snaps I'v taken that never made it on to flikr and I'v always had a soft spot for the silky, grainy sky in this one.
I'm away for a few days re-hydrating in south Wales so thought I'd throw this one up before I left.
don't worry I only have another two hundred photos of this dress and me in it of course.
This reminds me of those old masters I use to look upon in the art galleries. the way the they caught the light bouncing of the heavy duchess satins the low lights in the folds of the materials the pure ostentatious extravagance of those dresses that I longed to wear myself. How I wished I was one of those ladies back then.

The owner wasn't too happy about me taking pictures here. Have never met such a rude old bugger in Japan. So here are the pictures just to spite the bastard. In Kuramae, Tokyo.
An older posting with "golden grunge texture"
Special thanks to Nancy who is (very) patiently introducing me to the world of textures....
I went very lightly for my first attempt as this particular image already had a very old & earthy feel to it but if you feel I should have included more texture please let me know :-)

Another view from Old Street Railway Station to City Road, London.
Next to the tall building is the Atlas Building, 145 City Road. The angular building to the left produces something of a geometrical illusion and is the Montcalm Hotel. I find the architecture quite fascinating. The red brick building is Imperial hall.
When we caught the tube at Bank having walked from Monument the weather above ground was wet to say the least but reaching street level at Old Street station everything was bathed in clear spring sunshine, hence the deep blue sky which was an amazing contrast.
Sunrise in Bend, Oregon never disappoints. And this morning I had this view all to myself. Except for the ducks.
