Assignment: Vanishing Point
It has been rainy, cloudy, and gray all weekend, making outdoor photos difficult. So I headed to my favorite nursery to see what nice colorful shots I could get there!
I know the owners well enough that I was able to wander off to one of their back greenhouses. These plants are not yet for sale, they are still growing and will be brought to the main greenhouse as the older plants sell.
This is my favorite of my three this week because I love all the lines in the ceiling as well as the path and plants vanishing in the distance. I considered cloning out the hose, but thought it added a bit of leading line interest?

Iaquinto helped keep the controlled burn contained by keeping its west flank watered. The burn reduced fire risk to neighboring homes and improved habitat for the New England cottontail. It was conducted by the Town of Mashpee, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State of Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, and Northeast Forest and Fire Management.

Roast vegetables are an absolute doddle, and so yummy.
Potatoes, carrots, parsnips, butternut squash & red onions all peeled and chopped into roughly equal sizes. Put in a roasting tray with half a lemon, sprinkle over some bashed cumin seeds, season and a glug or three of olive oil. This is all covered in foil and chucked in a hot oven for about 25 minutes.
You could also chuck in some fennel, chopped leek, jerusalem artichokes, anything really. A bit of a winter warmer.
Such boring colors. I really can't stand the lack of imagination that cars manufacturers or cookie-cutter house developers have in their colors. I miss the '50s, before I was born, when cars and houses had character.

Shahinoor prepares bamboo strips for weaving using the traditional 'bowti'. Women learn from an early age how to slice and prepare spices, vegetables, meat and fish with this one kitchen tool!
I updated my computer this week, and several applications that were decidedly clunky on my old system now seem to work a whole lot better. This is a rework of an old image using a single file conversion with Photomatix, and together with other images that are suddenly really working, this has persuaded me to pay for the license to remove the watermark.
There is some Photoshop work in this. The single image file that produced this had the tractor and vines in deep shadow, so I needed to use Noise Ninja to clean up the noise. I also used a couple of curves layers to make local contrast adjustments, but the bottom line is that I was surprised and impressed what Photomatix was able to achieve.
... for the Lamb Biryani.
This rice alone was so tasty with all the spices - really wonderful.

Schon der Reis für sich war so lecker mit den ganzen Gewürzen - ganz toll.

Hagerstown, Indiana (September 10, 2012) The new Model T Ford Museum is slated to hold its grand opening during Richmond’s Octoberfest on September 28 at 6 p.m. The museum which was previously located in Centerville, Indiana near the Warm Glow Candle Factory for 5 years moved just a few miles east to Richmond, Indiana’s Historical Depot District this past spring.
Since the move to Richmond volunteers have been steadily preparing the museum’s new home, displays and vehicles for the event.
Today, a photo shoot for the Model T Museum’s newly acquired 1930 Pietenpol Sky Scout was held at the Hagerstown Airport.
The plan arrived at the airport around 10:00 a.m. this morning and was assembled by Model T enthusiasts and many of them brought their own Model Ts to use during the photo shoot.
One of the people there today was Mr. Jay Klehfoth who is the CEO and publisher of the Vintage Ford Magazine.
Jay is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to all things Model T. I was to learn he’s pretty knowledgeable in a lot of areas too. During our walk around of the plane Jay pointed out one of the parts for the engine had been made by a former factory in Richmond of all places. And there are many other special things about this airplane I’m sure he’ll be writing about in the next issue of the the Vintage Ford Magazine. He not only knew a lot about the Pietenpol Sky Scout plane that was being photographed for the magazine cover. He’s pretty sharp when it comes to airports too. He said that the Hagerstown airport were today’s photo shoot was done has the longest grass landing strip in the United States which to me made it the perfect place for today’s event.
This Pietenpol that will be on display at the museum is powered by a 20 HP Model T engine which was modified to include dual-ignition which is used in aviation. According to an article in the AntiqueAirfield.com website from September 10, 2012 there was only one original Pietenpol Sky Scout built by Bernard Pietenpol himself, and just two replicas. The article also said that all 3 were still flying.
The new Model T Ford Museum is going to be an exciting addition to what is one of Indiana’s grandest historical areas and a must in this part of the Midwest.
Richmond is a perfect place for any day trip. But, if you want to see all that Richmond has to offer you’ll need to plan on staying several days.
The Model T Ford Museum is located in Richmond’s Historic Depot District at 309 N 8th St, Richmond, IN 47374 - 765-488-0026.
