A little stop-motion animation experiment.

In the mid 1970s, or so, I “rescued” a small number of old newspapers; alas they started disintegrating so I dare not try to make more copies of interesting adverts or articles
Memories of Summer.
Looking out over the North moor of Dartmoor National Park, one of my favourite places in Britain.
Contains some of the earliest traces of human habitation and later industrialisation in the British Isles.

Royal Mail painted the post box in the centre of Henley-on-Thames gold in honour of Alex Gregory, a resident of the town, who was one of Team GB's 2012 Olympic Gold Medallists in the Mens' Four at Eton Dorney lake.
White Ibis taken at the Lake Dora Marina boat landing in central Florida. This was a particularly easy subject to shoot and almost seemed willing to pose, even as I took multiple exposures at a distance of no more than 8 feet.
This agreeable streamlined building in Penarth, now occupied by a Bangladeshi restaurant, was originally a post office. Above the upper central window is the royal cipher and the date, 1936. It is the cipher of George V, who died that year.
The post office has now moved elsewhere, but the Royal Mail still use the far end of the building, up the flight of steps at the right. Both the building and the smartly painted pillar box are listed.
I think this is going to be my last 0.7 upload for a while...0.6 is easier for me.

"I can't record much anymore...the infected are everywhere...I keep killing, but they keep coming...At least the gun store I got this at has held up well...I've been here for 2 weeks, but...I feel as if I am about to die a very miserable death very soon... "
Z151 is on the move after almost hitting a woman in drugged-induced state who stepped out in front of the train to commit suicide. Thankfully the crew was vigilant and nobody got hurt and nobody had to deal with that...today. Grand Rapids, MI.
Pictured, a post exchange in the South Pacific during World War II, location unavailable.
Hundreds of post exchanges during the war were operated by individual military units and the Army Exchange Service throughout the South Pacific, including Australia, New Zealand and dozens of islands like Guadalcanal and New Hebrides.
In 1944, 10 island bases in the South Pacific were occupied by nearly 111,000 U.S. Soldiers. Most were concentrated at Guadalcanal, New Caledonia, Fiji, Efate, New Hebrides and the Russell Islands.
Although the PXs closed shortly after the end of World War II, AAFES even today operates Exchanges on the South Pacific's Kwajalein Island and American Samoa.

Today I decided to go for a drive. I was driving down a road that I practically drive down everyday, and for the first time I notice this garden with one tomato growing right in the middle. I'm sure it had many tomatoes when in it's prime but it wasn't really the tomato that caught my attention. It was the intriguing fence that surrounds the tomato.
The iron bed posts in the front and whatever the owner could salvage finishes it out. How interesting this little plot of land has become. One would have to know my neighborhood to understand why someone would build a fence of this caliber.
I live at the very edge of town and although I am in town I am also in the country (make sense?). When one lives in the country one will have country critters for neighbors. Deer, raccoon, skunk, coyotes, rabbits, and my favorite...turtles.
Back to the fence. Even though we have all those types of four legged neighbors, I don't think even this fence would keep any of them out.
Maybe they just needed to make a fence to be able to find the garden~ ♥

Op 15 augustus 1945 capituleerde Japan; toen pas was de Tweede Wereldoorlog ook in Nederlands-Indië voorbij; er volgden nog vier turbulente jaren waarin Indonesië uiteindelijk onafhankelijk werd, de anarchistische bersiap-periode en de militaire strijd vele levens kostten, en de meeste Nederlanders en ‘Indo-Europeanen’ zich uiteindelijk gedwongen zagen het land te verlaten. Pas een kwart eeuw later, in 1970, vond in Nederland de eerste grote herdenking van het einde van de oorlog in Indië plaats. In 1980 werd dit herhaald en in 1988 werd in Den Haag een nationaal Indisch monument onthuld door koningin Beatrix. In alle gevallen waren het ‘repatrianten’ uit Indië en veteranen die deze vergeten geschiedenis onder de aandacht hadden gebracht en de autoriteiten tot ondersteuning en daarmee erkenning hadden bewogen. Het Indisch Monument, gemaakt door Jaroslawa Dankowa, wil ‘een punt van herkenning en erkenning zijn’ voor allen die leden onder de oorlog in Indië, dus ook Indonesische dwangarbeiders. Toch staat bij de jaarlijkse nationale herdenking vooral het leed van de (Indische) Nederlanders centraal. De beeldengroep drukt vernedering, onderdrukking, wanhoop, pijn en rouw uit, maar ook verbondenheid, hoop, strijd en overwinning. Vandaar de centraal geplaatste teksten ‘Onversaagd en ongebroken’ en ‘De geest overwint’.
On 15 August 1945 Japan surrendered; it was only then that the Second World War also ended in the Netherlands East Indies. The formal end of the war was, however, followed by four more turbulent years before Indonesia eventually gained its independence. During these years, the anarchic bersiap period and the military struggle claimed many lives, and most of the Dutch and ‘Indo-European’ men and women ultimately had no other choice but to leave the country. It was only a quarter of a century later, in 1970, that the Netherlands saw the first large commemoration of the end of the war in the Netherlands East Indies. This commemoration was repeated in 1980, and in 1988 Queen Beatrix unveiled a national Netherlands East Indies Memorial in The Hague. All of this was initiated by ‘repatriates’from the Netherlands East Indies and veterans who brought this forgotten history to the centre of attention and convinced the authorities to lend their support and thus acknowledge its significance. The Netherlands East Indies Memorial, made by Jaroslawa Dankowa, intends to be ‘a point of recognition and acknowledgement’ for all those who suffered in the war in the Netherlands East Indies, including Indonesians subjected to forced labour. However, the annual national commemoration ceremony still focuses predominantly on the suffering of the white and Indo-European Dutch. The group of statues expresses indignity, oppression, despair, pain and mourning, but also solidarity, hope, struggle and victory. Hence the centrally placed inscriptions ‘Undaunted and unbroken’ and ‘The spirit triumphs’.

The year is 2035, and the human race has been dominated by an invading army. Those who survive are sent to prison camps to work as slave labour, those who survive join the Resistance Force. With all technology destroyed, they must make do with what little resources they find, combining components from different vehicles is common place.
A former truck has an extended platform on the rear which houses a powerful machine gun. It is armed to the teeth and also contains basic tools. A standard scout vehicle.
Ever since i can remember, i have been (religiously) going for the Mahashtami anjali.
This is me with my aunt looking pretty happy as we barely managed the anjali - there are batches for doing this and we were on the last one..phew!

I'm proud to present the Emiliacouture Spring 2021 ready to wear capsule collection: "Post Apocalypse".
The Post Apocalypse athleisure garments are all about movement and dancing around the apartment while no one is watching. This Issey Miyake inspired collection of lounge wear is made out of Japanese pleated cotton blend with PVC stripes. The soft and stiff stripes give the fabric a unique shapeability that is really fun to play around with.
All items are OOAK and fit most 16" dolls (photographed here on Inamorata 3.0). They are sold as mix-an-match items at my store:

The background wall elements are made by Julia Gartung and painted by me using a sponge technique. The leather lounge that is in some pics is also commissioned from Julia.
