67025 runs parallel to the A4042 as it approaches Pontypool and New Inn Station working 1W57 10:52 Cardiff Central to Manchester Piccadilly.

Spring is here (sort of) and the rapeseed is in full bloom in many parts of the country.

I was pleased to find there was a public footpath through this hedge that allowed me to get inside the field (thank you farmer!) and take these shots.

The dirt road goes on and on in parallel with the Andes mountain range.

They don't make 'em like this anymore! Decorative wooden trim under the eaves of a local mansion.

For the All New Scavenger Hunt #6 Parallel lines.

There was a steepness in the darkness

I wanted to cut it like a comet crash

Hit the city, where you had echoed from a flash

Made it all seem not so bad

'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky

And even in the low light, we were aligned

'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time

But even in the divide, you and I

Don't dare repeat this

But when I lay alone that night

I let the city see me cry

And in my weakness

I wish you hadn't closed your eyes

Crossed the city, open mine

'Cause we were parallel lines, running through the whole sky

And even in the low light, we were aligned

'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time

But even in the divide, you and I

I watched you comb your hands through the light

Every detail spilled from your outline

All at once you filled my eyes

And I could see it all for the first time

'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky

(The whole sky)

And even in the low light, we were aligned

(We were aligned)

'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time

(Whole time)

And even in the divide, you and I

this is actually a reflection in a window.. there are two sheets of glass separated by about 5 inches.. that's why there are two reflections.

The Sunday Challenge this week was parallels. Ive always wanted a reason to shoot this particular section of an old theatre just down the road from me! It all looks a bit wonky but its actually like that! Im trying to find some history on it but so far, Ive come up blank!

Parallels in Texture

The Cajun Pass provides the setting for this textured landscape. On a cloudy day, at 4,000 feet (1219 m), there wasn’t much sunlight to give a lot of contrast to the hills and mountains in the area. Rather than throw this one away, I decided to sepia tone the image and enhance it with a texture. The texture is a product of the talented ~Brenda-Starr~. It is called Free Texture #163 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/brenda-starr/4838652783/sizes/l/)

~Brenda-Starr~ , thank you.

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Parallel Lines

In thinking about natural things (vs. structural things) that form parallel lines, I had vegetables on my mind.

WIT: Bought some corn, cut off the ends, and trimmed part of the husk off to get broad rectangular lines. Found a nice dark blue platter to lay the corn and brought everything out on the patio. It was a cloudy day so got good even light. No flash. Manual focus. A little contrast adjustment in PP. Off to the grill they go for lunch.

I combined the two (good halves) of photos together and added a little splatter effect to the person walking. I can't figure out what or why, but the two photos just seem to work out so well together

On Thursday last week my new speedlight arrived... so, of course, I had to try it out. Yes, I decided to do some more water splash pictures, but with a two speedlight setup :) Here are some of the images.

Nikon D3200 ISO 400, f/11, 1/200s. To the right of the tank was my Nikon SB-600 at 1/16 power (with "barn doors" attached). To the left was the new Neewer NW 660III set at 1/32 power (with a makeshift barn door!).

I have only crappy photos, but it doesn´t really matter.

In a month I will be able to go after new images. Now it´s just chaotic. But it´s a good chaos =D

Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance

One of the most beautiful video clips ever, and an amazing song!

Seagulls follow the plough - and Crows follow the beach tractor

A layered street moment capturing contrasting human behaviours within a single frame.

On one side, conversation and connection; on the other, solitude and movement. The illustrated wall adds a graphic narrative element, while directional light separates the subjects into distinct visual zones.

A study of urban life, body language, and parallel stories unfolding in shared space.

A quick snapshot, just outside my front door, on the way to work via my bicycle.

A pair of parallel pine rows with a lovely bed of needles.

I made it creepier. Parallel forest at Wichita Mts Wildlife Refuge.
