Here in the UK today, Sunday 22 March, it's Mothering Sunday; the strangest one ever for all mothers in the country. We all usually all go out for lunch - today my children & grandchildren left my presents outside my front door and we spoke to one another through the (closed) window; the practise of social distancing.
This artwork is from some of the flowers I received.
Ah well - I've plenty of chocolates to keep me going!
This is a close-up photo of a wooden beam and rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach.
Couldn't help but notice how flat this Swallowtail was holding his wings - like solar panels to soak up all the suns warmth and energy possible.
It was almost noontime and already the day was sweltering hot so it probably didn't take too long to get all charged up.
Seen in the Children's Garden at Dauset Trails Nature Center.

The panels in the Coca-Cola Beatbox, an interactive art installation within the Olympic Park, in Stratford, London.
Designed by Asif Khan and Pernilla Ohrstedt, the structure fuses architecture, sport, music and technology, inviting participants to activate the panels, each of which play a recording of a sport-derived noise to create music.
3-shot HDR taken with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, merged in Photomatix, then processed in GIMP and Photoscape. Potentially a bit heavy handed with the tone-mapping...
This is a close-up HDR photo of the patterning detail in a plastic panel. I love the gradual transitions across the patterning grid in the blue/yellow colours and the refracted light from the windows. Best viewed enlarged in slideshow.
This is a close-up photo of a rust covered iron panel and algae covered wooden beams on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach.
This is a part of the rock art known as the Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon. It's cool to think we were in the same place as the ancient people who created this somewhere around 400 to 1100 AD.
This is a close-up photo of rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach. The amazing textures are best seen full screen in Slideshow.
This is a photo of the light shinning through a frosted glass panel in the lobby of the library in Yarmouth.
Out to grass at Hurn sometime in the late 1980's and with various panels missing, this unidentified Hawker Hunter appears to have a 'recce' pack installed in the port underbelly blister

Another from the signal box tour and the New Street PSB panel, with one of the other chaps on the tour studying a bit of detail.
The signal box was only taken out of use at Xmas 2022, but as you can see the panel is a trove of detail from the 60s onwards.
Carolin and I are members of a local Landcare group. Carolin is vastly more active in this area than I am, but I did attend an event last week. It was entertaining and interesting. The property we visited had a number of features of interest, including this old Morris van which was certainly beyond salvage, but interesting in its own way.

Hey team how are we all doing?
It be throwback Thursday today and I've finally finished processing a photo taken 2 weeks ago from my trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Renown for its unique architecture this crazy critter being the Sydney Opera House continues to fascinate and inspire architects all around the world, or so I'm led to believe. This photo was shot from the Milson's Point side with a 70-300mm telephoto lens on a dodgy tripod.
The processing was done like this; firstly the photo was taken into Lightroom where the massively blinding highlights and whites were dulled down. The shadows were raised up a tad too as some parts of the photo were too dark. Then I played around with the colours using the HSL panel until I got the feel that I liked. I aimed to contrast the bluish sky with the orangey/yellow lights inside the building. I cropped the image and fixed up the horizon to make it straight. I then brought the photo into Photoshop and did some noise reduction using Imagenomic's Noiseware Professional software. Finally I cleaned off the image by using a combination of the clone stamp tool, spot healing brush and the brush tool. The most challenging part of this process was to get the image right in camera with the nasty gale forced winds of that night.
Hope you enjoy this one, and as always feel free to use this image in your videos, your website, you blog, print it out, remix it or do whatever you wish with it as per the CC licence.
All the best my people, don't stop shooting.

Boijmans van Beuningen, a museum in Rotterdam, celebrates its 175th birthday. The current building was started in 1928, designed by Ad van der Steur, and modified several times since.
Since 2019, the museum is closed for extensive restorations, expected to last until 2029.
In a very brief moment, the museum is now open with a temporary exhibition, focusing on the architecture, exhibitions from the past, and dreams for the future.
