I know I haven't posted in a while. I have been really, really busy! I have really been focused on getting healthy and have been working really hard to lose weight. Since the beginning of September, I have lost 42 pounds! Yes, I am still buying dolls too, so I will have a lot of photos to post soon. I am still working on my doll room and I am also cleaning out my "inventory" and hope to post some dolls for sale soon!
Here is a photo of the 32 Pipe Cleaner Pups I made to give out at our doll club Christmas party this past Saturday!
On a bright morning just as the rising sun disappears , 66030 passes Musselburgh Station with the recently introduced Hartlepool - Leith Docks loaded pipe train. This is seen passing through here at 0638 on the 22nd June 2016. The headcode is 6S58, which was the headcode for the loaded steel train that ran to Dalzell from Lackenby. The returning empties in the evening also use the same headcode as the empties from Dalzell used , 6E30

A pipe made of darkness but its smoke of light. Isn't that ironic?

I don't know why but I'm hooked on this Sepia tone look, I can't stop making things look old fashioned , I keep looking at my photo's and trying them in Sepia and they just look better to my eyes, maybe its just a style I'm developing, I don't know but I enjoy it though and that's the main thing :)
Sitting looking at the flexible tube of my desk lamp got me thinking - always a dangerous thing! Five minutes later I was lighting a candle underneath it to produce some smoke .... I then illuminated the smoke with an off camera flash and here's the result..... A totally pointless image..... but so much fun :o)
I like the way the smoke follows the curve of the pipe which makes it look like it is coming out of the pipe.
This was bit like water drop photography, you have an idea but you never quite know how the smoke is going to flow so it's 10% idea, 10% technique and 80% luck!!
David Russell Hulme is a well known character in the world of music, both locally and around the world. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Russell_Hulme) It turns out I had inadvertently photographed him, candidly, on a couple of occasions in the past but I was unaware that he was a pipe smoker. I met him in his home in Aberystwyth, for a good chat as he puffed on ‘Connoisseurs Choice”, in his favourite pipe. This is one of the very first designs by French company Butz-Choquin, formed in the mid 19th century. The main part of the stem in this particular one is made from the wing bone of an albatross, replaced by plastic in more modern versions.
Back in the seventies, David was an active member of local, and National pipe smokers clubs and took part in the regularly held competitions. These involved keeping a pipe going as long as you could after a limited, two minute, lighting up time, and, judging by his recollections, a great deal of fun was had by all.
Just below Emerald Falls (below) on Gorton Creek a pipe drains water from the cliffs above, forming this little waterfall.

The flower of a Ghost Pipe plant breaks through pine needles on the forest floor in Shenandoah National Park.
This is a parasitic plant that pulls nutrients from subterranean fungi that are in a symbiotic relationship with trees. So it needs no chlorophyll and isn't green, and can grow in very shaded locations.

A giant peace pipe-holding Indian chief in a feathered headdress sits cross-legged outside a former trading post business in Roosevelt City, Utah. It was built out of cement by Darrell Gardner in 1976, part of a tableau that included a big teepee.
The Moqui Indian Trading Post, which first opened in 1969, went out of business in 2008. A local group rallied to save the statue from destruction; the figure survives. The trading post building is currently a nail salon.
Beyond his attention-getting duties, we don't know if the sculpture was intended as a tribute to a specific Native American chief. The town of Roosevelt City was created by homesteaders on former Ute tribal lands, and the location is currently on Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation lands.

Sometime in 2019 the statue was moved from this location to a new home at the Ute Tribal Plaza in Fort Duchesne. Look in the comments below to see the newly restored Chief sitting in his new home.
A potentially interesting arrangement for a future MOC. It's important to use the 1L bar with towball, and not one with the Technic axle, as the Technic one has a small lip that keeps it from going all the way into the 90 degree pipe, and this throws off the geometry slightly, putting stress on the longer straight section.
Pipe dreams.
I decided to take a break from working on my bike and get my head out of all things mechanical, so i took my motorised car to the base of MT Dandenong, a town called Belgrave. Taken about 9pm in Belgrave at the servo on the corner of the roundabout that sells no more fuel.
Literally THE last shot of the night...looks like photography is a patience game ehy?
Any way here's the boring stuff. No edit, RAW conversion, Taken with Pentax 50mm @ F1.4 Micro four thirds mount 1/50 ISO 200 with Olympus EM-5 OM-D. Lovely!

This shots kinda abstract, but I like it a lot. Most of it isn't in focus, but that's what i like.

Took a lot of time editing this, so feedback is appreciated.
These large pipes designed to carry flood waters are everywhere out west. It is incredible that in areas that receive so little rainfall, that floods from rains sometimes tens or hundreds of miles away can come rushing down the mountains with such force that roadways can be washed away if not for these drainage culverts. In this particular culvert, there were two of these pipes, both large enough for me to walk through without ducking. The little boy that lurks within me drew me inside.
