Painted in 1931 by Salvador Dalí “The Persictence of Sheepery” was planed as an angry accusation of the horrible, but in those times often practised, practise of sheep bathing and then leaving them hanging out to dry for days.

 

Unfortunately, just before he could put it on display and show the world what the poor sheep had to go through in his native country, Salvador Dalí went mad.

 

Forgetting all about being an ambassador of all things sheep he threw the painting away and made a new version with silly melting clocks and thus losing the heartbreaking message of the painting that could have saved so many sheep from their horrible ordeal.

 

Dalí, still quite mad, felt a deep resentment towards him whenever he encountered a sheep on his walks and soon after fled the country and settled in the United States where his madness went unnoticed.

 

“The Persistence of Sheepery” meanwhile disappeared, never to be seen again until it´s recent discovery in an attic by a certain sheep on a cookie search.

These little fellas are starting to take over!!

Persistence finally paid off \o/

Persistence pays off as I finally get a clear shot at Low Wood Bay.

Shame it was an Enviro on a 555 and not the intended Volvo B5 but with only one 599 an hour that chance had gone as by the time of the next one the sun would've been too low.

Still, quite happy with this one and took a second shot of just the lake, enabling this two-shot panorama to be made.

Should we get one I'll go back on a sunny weekday for a better chance of an uncluttered shot of a 599 here.

Lukes persistence to get into the Deat Star was not going unnoticed.

Unwilling to let go.

DSC_6800_Edit:

Found along a forest walking trail along a pond in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Spotted and named by Sue.

Persistence by both the model and the photographer pays off.

Persistence finally paid off after months of watching and waiting for the right conditions.

You put up a fence, we'll just cut a hole in it to get our shot. ;-)

Remember those slick motivational poster from back in the early 2000s — with one word titles for a great image?

Been working my ass off this summer. Quit my day job at spring and have been trying to survive on my photography. I set a goal to become better at landscape photography since it was the area I most needed practice on. I've been on the beaches and bushes almost every day, trying to learn something new. I think I've reached my goal for now, but I've already set a new one for myself. On a creative job it's most important to constantly compete with yourself and aim higher. Only hard work and persistence will make you become better. #goals #persistence #photographer #karhi #lohtaja #kokkola #suomi #Finland #finland_bestsunset #sea

The squirrel strayed too far from the woods and the Red-shouldered Hawk saw his opportunity. The fur and feathers were flying!

Showered and dressed before 7am. Preparation for a meeting 'til 7.45. Caught a train at 8.15. Arrived at university before the library opened. Waited for it to open, only to discover that all of the books I needed were on loan already.

 

Waited in my lecture room eating breakfast and reading lecture notes until 10am. One lecture on placenames. One essay returned. One dissertation 'group' meeting at 12pm. One presentation meeting at 2pm. One set of questions for the lovely Jenny. Three A4 pages of scribbled notes.

 

Caught a train home. Drunk three cups of tea. Slept until 6pm. Typed until my fingers were sore. Threw roses at my face. Went to Asda with Steve and Paul. Played a game of scrabble. Stared at my monitor without blinking. Went back to sleep at 1am.

I will have a draft of my dissertation finished by the deadline. I will.
