I lied about posting before I leave.
I've had this photo on my desktop for the past 7-8 months, but held off on adding it; this feels like the right day. Anyway, I'm just glad we stuck with the full red and white and not the original red, white, and blue design initially suggested.
Now this is seriously the final goodbye!
Posting these in some threads, but if you are reading this perhaps you can answer:
Why the very dark sky in the upper left? This is a Tiffen 77mm Circular Polarizer and some photos I take get very dark regions, believe me it didnt look this dark in the sky through the viewfinder.

My postings here have fallen further behind. This batch is over a year ago. I will attempt to catch up as my time permits. Please continue to check in as I slowly catch up.
Still wearing my soleless "barefoot" Asics. The right shoe sole has completely split. I did a quick repair with a staple, but the staple unfolds and sticks into my foot. It finally wore through and broke on one of my walks, I replaced it with another, but I need to do a somewhat more permanent repair.
Posting shots elsewhere, I find I missed out several at the time, now edited and ready to share.
--------------------------------------------
St Margaret's is one of the closest churches to my childhood home, and a church i must have passed hundreds of times on the back roads to Norwich.
Like many East Anglian churches it has a round, flint built tower, but inside it is dedicated to the Leathes family. it has a balcony, the view here, at the opposite end of the church to the altar, on it two rows of secluded pews, made of more like individual seats, and between the seats, a grand organ, with the seat for the organist precariously over the edge of the balcony, over hanging the pews below.
-------------------------------------------
The Lothingland peninsula is by no means East Anglia's most attractive area. Sometimes, it feels as if the shadow of Great Yarmouth's dismal suburbs is casting a heaviness across the meadows and lanes, and it is always a pleasure to be travelling south away from it. In 1974, they moved the border, putting all that cold suburbia into Norfolk, which is welcome to it. Now, Suffolk starts below the Haddiscoe to Yarmouth road, and one of the very first churches you come to is the pretty round-towered St Margaret at Herringfleet.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting it. It was years since I had last been up here, and as we headed down from Fritton I thought that Somerleyton church would be the first to come into view. For a moment, I was disoriented, and then I remembered. Eight years previously, on a fresh spring morning, I had cycled from the opposite direction. This is the only area of East Anglia where most of the parish churches are kept locked, so I wasn't expecting it to be open, and it wasn't. But there wasn't a keyholder notice either, which was a bit worrying. This church has a fabulous collection of stained glass, and, as Ecclesiastical Insurance reminds us, a church which is kept locked all the time is much more likely to be vandalised than one which is open during the day.
Perhaps the parish has taken note of this, because when we came here in May 2008 we found this lovely little church open, and we were able to step into its cool, calm interior. There was a substantial restoration here quite early in the 19th century at the behest of John Francis Leathes, the Lord of the Manor. The restoration was more substantial than at might first appear, since the old window tracery is said to come from the ruins of St Olave's Priory, out on the Waveney edge of the parish. As part of this restoration, the collection of glass was put in place in the east window and on the south side of the chancel. There is a huge quantity of it, with some fascinating details. The great majority appears to be 16th and 17th century continental glass 'rescued' from France and Flanders at the time of the French Revolution - in reality, of course, and as at the time of the English Reformation, much of it was sold abroad by the 'reformers' to raise cash. There is some East Anglian glass among the continental work, which may well also have come originally from St Olave's Priory.
Some of the glass is interesting because it is so unusual, but more unusual than any of the medieval and continental work is the scattering of panes by the Lowestoft artist Robert Allen. Allen owned a glass factory, and produced 'picture glass' at a time when almost nobody else in England was doing it, the end of the 18th and the start of the 19th century. Because of this, he work is entirely pre-ecclesiological - that is to say, it comes from a time before the Oxford Movement had led the 19th century Anglican revival which led to the restoration of churches and the installation of thousands of stained glass windows across the country, mostly of biblical and devotional subjects. The other major figure in this restoration was Samuel Yarrington, the Norwich glazier, who probably arranged and set it all, and may well have been the agent who sold the glass to Leathes in the first place.
The idiosyncratic character of St Margaret comes from the unusually early date of its restoration, but also from the overwhelming influence of the Leathes family. In medieval times, this entire parish was in the ownership and care of St Olave's Priory, and after the rape of the monasteries by the Tudors and their cronies, the ownership of the lands and church passed through various hands until reaching the Mussenden Leathes family in the 18th Century. At the time of the dissolution, the living had been impropriated, which is to say that ministers here were no longer presented by the owners to the Norwich Diocese, but the church became a donative - effectively, a chaplaincy, and the family that owned it employed a minister on a contractual basis for a wage. He was employed by them, and so under the circumstances it is not surprising that the Leathes influence is profoundly felt here.
Blue: risque.
Best viewed large. I believe you can get a better sense of the texture of the photo as well as some of the more subtle tones.
Houellebecq zitiert in einer Dankesrede Tocqueville:
"...Aber bevor ich weiter über Philippe Muray spreche, möchte ich Ihnen eine berühmte Stelle von Tocqueville vorlesen, denn es ist immer ein Vergnügen, so viel Intelligenz gepaart zu sehen mit einer solchen stilistischen Eleganz. „Ich will mir vorstellen, unter welchen neuen Merkmalen der Despotismus in der Welt auftreten könnte: Ich erblicke eine Menge einander ähnlicher und gleichgestellter Menschen, die sich rastlos im Kreise drehen, um sich kleine und gewöhnliche Vergnügungen zu verschaffen, die ihr Gemüt ausfüllen. Jeder steht in seiner Vereinzelung dem Schicksal aller andern fremd gegenüber: Seine Kinder und seine persönlichen Freunde verkörpern für ihn das ganze Menschengeschlecht; was die übrigen Mitbürger angeht, so steht er neben ihnen, aber er sieht sie nicht; er berührt sie, und er fühlt sie nicht; er ist nur in sich und für sich allein vorhanden, und bleibt ihm noch eine Familie, so kann man zumindest sagen, dass er kein Vaterland mehr hat. Über diesen erhebt sich eine gewaltige bevormundende Macht, die allein dafür sorgt, ihre Genüsse zu sichern und ihr Schicksal zu überwachen. Sie ist unumschränkt, ins Einzelne gehend, regelmäßig, vorsorglich und mild. Sie wäre der väterlichen Gewalt gleich, wenn sie wie diese das Ziel verfolgte, die Menschen auf das reife Alter vorzubereiten; statt dessen aber sucht sie bloß, sie unwiderruflich im Zustand der Kindheit festzuhalten; es ist ihr recht, dass die Bürger sich vergnügen, vorausgesetzt, dass sie nichts anderes im Sinne haben, als sich zu belustigen. Sie arbeitet gerne für deren Wohl; sie will aber dessen alleiniger Betreuer und einziger Richter sein; sie sorgt für ihre Sicherheit, ermisst und sichert ihren Bedarf, erleichtert ihre Vergnügungen, führt ihre wichtigsten Geschäfte, lenkt ihre Industrie, ordnet ihre Erbschaften, teilt ihren Nachlass; könnte sie ihnen nicht auch die Sorge des Nachdenkens und die Mühe des Lebens ganz abnehmen?“
Das wurde 1840 veröffentlicht, im zweiten Teil von Tocquevilles Meisterwerk „Über die Demokratie in Amerika“. Das ist schwindelerregend. Was die Ideen betrifft, so enthält diese Passage praktisch mein gesamtes geschriebenes Werk. Ich habe dem nur eines hinzuzufügen gehabt: dass das Individuum, welches bei Tocqueville noch Freunde und eine Familie hat, sie bei mir nicht mehr hat. Der Prozess der Vereinzelung ist abgeschlossen...."

Posting for Ellia.
I found this today, but have not found the picture of the whole costume.
Looks like it has lost its' carrying strap along the way.
Now that I look at the pic. I should have covered the inside with red paper also.
This was part of Jake's costume about 7-8 yrs ago. He used it to store random things afterwards. I am surprised it is still in this good of shape.

I am posting this in memory of this recently shuttered business, Breeze Fish and Chicken.
This corner is a frequent bus stop of mine, and therefore I never made it in Breeze before they closed--waiting for homemade food while trying not to miss a bus that only runs every half hour is a dodgy prospect, unfortunately.
But I always appreciated how wonderful this place made my bus stop smell, with all those delicious soul food cooking smells wafting out through the door. And I was always happy to see the handwritten text across the bottom of the (typed) menu: "We have soul food! That's right, soul food!" And I always was grateful for the awning on any particularly sunny or rainy day. And having been here during several snow and ice storms, I really, really appreciate that they were always quick to salt and shovel the sidewalk. Oh, had I known you were closing I would have stopped saying "Someday!" and gone in and got that mac-n-cheese or that big old slice of pie. Now I feel guilty. Breeze Fish and Chicken, you are missed.
Posting the first of my images from my visit to the Ft. Wayne Botanical Conservatory (www.botanicalconservatory.org) on December 23rd. A beautiful place, and well worth the trip. I was there for six hours with only a short lunch break, and utterly lost in all the beautiful photo ops.
Just some shots of Braves vs. Raton Tigers. Experimenting with my Elinchrom D-Lite 4 flash heads. I didn't have any reflectors on the head coz they didn't come with the kit! duh! I'm getting some this week. I think I had a lot of spill. I had the flashes on f/5.5. and I still haven't figured out high speed sync-ing, so I'm shooting at 250, with about 250 iso. I'm using my long 80-400 mm lens form the shoots, I like the bokeh effect with that lens.

A Lunchtime Walk Photo by Gregory Peterson.
This in nothing like his work...except that it's boxy, it's not even a real box, but a faux, digitally generated box around a 2d photograph, but Joseph Cornell's name popped into my head anyway.

And, I was delighted to find this Cornell Box.
