Unfortunately, the snowstorm had been cleaned up enough everywhere--and the AWD good enough--to prohibit proper donuts and restrain things to light hoonage.
February Theme - Negative Space
Bald Eagle on the ice. This big beauty flew in and landed on the ice right in front of me as I was driving by the log dump at Lee Creek on Shuswap Lake. Had to stop for a few pics.
Lamborghini Aventador Project.
Due to impossible hard bits and unorganized lego, terminated until an indefinite period of time.
Project 26, B. I wanted to take photos tonight but it was getting dark outside. I went scrounging around the house looking for anything interesting starting with B but no luck. I settled on another one of the kids toys - Barbie. To give it a bit of interest I also gave the hair some movement with the hair dryer.
I am continuing working on getting some decent images of Mountain Bluebird inflight. I learned a lot more about the challenges today and got a few that I will share but I am still not there yet. It was a lot of fun doing though.
The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining omes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
Alright Gary. Here's my starting point. I wanted the tile to be level to the floor so we tore up a raised section someone had added hoping the floor underneath could be used. What we found was a 5 inch deep hole in the floor! Here it's been filled and the beginning frame work is in place. The brick will remain exposed and we're adding a couple of sconces then the hard part. Deciding the design of the mantel. I've changed my mind about a dozen times already!
This is the forth image from my research project, this is from the first shoot I did with the creative dance group Perth Improvisational Practice, you have a basic idea what you want but the results are never known until the shot has been taken, I was very pleased with this shot, as with all the photography in this series (except for one composite) this is only one exposure, the fact that the same person appears in the left and right of the shot is because they moved from one side to the next whilst the image was being produced.

I have been wanting to start a group for a while. Something to bring photographers together for support and motivation. Project Focus will start this Monday, and the first project is an A-Z challenge. Check it out if you're interested and would like to start shooting more.
Workshop run by Warren Millar for Fujiholics. Thanks to Zen Project for performing for us all hosted at The Studio Widnes. Not as easy as it seems.....
Initial planning: the Nautilus project, an attempt to build a Disney-inspired model of the submarine Nautilus from the Jules Verne novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, scaled for 4-inch action figures.
Okay, they're not really "action figures," they're dolls.
Trying to get a sense of scale -- how big should it be? I'm working in an amalgam of standard and metric units: most of the potentially useful pieces I'm finding can be measured in even increments of inches, but I'm sketching my plans in a 1cm = 1 inch scale. I was trying to hold the size to a meter (39 inches), but to get the right look, I think I'll have to extend the length to 42 inches (107cm).
I should probably keep some reference photos at hand. Later I will have to do so, in order to shape some of the sections reasonably accurately. What I'm going for, however, is a "suggestion" of the Disney Nautilus, so at this point what I'm doing is roughing in the approximate shape I want from memory.
Serendipitously, I found a plank that is the exact width I came up with in my plan for the main deck. At present the approach is to create a "waterline model" of how the Nautilus would look floating on the surface of the sea. Creating a full 3-D hull is beyond the scope of this project, although I'll try to craft this so that I might add more detail if I feel so inclined.
I'm thinking I may try to avoid the use of much cardboard, and focus instead on styrofoam and plastic, so the model might actually float. This would facilitate photos later.
There's a good chance this project will not advance beyond the "drawing board" stage.

No. 1 - 5: Exploring Canterbury.
Canterbury Cathedral
The Great Cloister.
CLOISTER (Lat. claustrum; Fr. cloitre; Ital. chiostro; Span. claustro; Ger. Kloster). The word "cloister," though now restricted to the four-sided enclosure, surrounded with covered ambulatories, usually attached to coventual and cathedral churches, and sometimes to colleges, or by a still further limitation to the ambulatories themselves, originally signified the entire monastery. In this sense it is of frequent occurrence in earlier English literature (e.g. Shakespeare, Meas. for Meas. i. 3, " This day my sister should the cloister enter"), and is still employed in poetry. The Latin claustrum, as its derivation implies, primarily denoted no more than the enclosing wall of a religious house, and then came to be used for the whole building enclosed within the wall. To this sense the German "Kloster" is still limited, the covered walks, or cloister in the modern sense, being called "Klostergang," or "Kreuzgang." In French the word cloitre retains the double sense.
d k In the special sense now most common, the word "cloister" enotes the quadrilateral area in a monastery or college of canons, round which the principal buildings are ranged, and which is usually provided with a covered way or ambulatory running all round, and affording a means of communication between the various centres of the ecclesiastical life, without exposure to the weather. According to the Benedictine arrangement, which from its suitability to the requirements of monastic life was generally adopted in the West, one side of the cloister was formed by the church, the refectory occupying the side opposite to it, that the worshippers might have the least annoyance from the noise or smell of the repasts. On the eastern side the chapter-house was placed, with other apartments belonging to the common life of the brethren adjacent to it, and, as a common rule, the dormitory occupied the whole of the upper story. On the opposite or western side were generally the cellarer's lodgings, with the cellars and store-houses, in which the provisions necessary for the sustenance of the confraternity were housed. In Cistercian monasteries the western side was usually occupied by the "domus conversorum," or lodgings of the lay-brethren, with their day-rooms and workshops below, and dormitory above. The cloister, with its surrounding buildings, generally stood on the south side of the church, to secure as much sunshine as possible. A very early example of this disposition is seen in the plan of the monastery of St Gall. Local requirements, in some instances, caused the cloister to be placed to the north of the church. This is the case in the English cathedrals, formerly Benedictine abbeys, of Canterbury,
Although the covered ambulatories are absolutely essential to the completeness of a monastic cloister, a chief object of which was to enable the inmates to pass from one part of the monastery to another without inconvenience from rain, wind, or sun, it appears that they were sometimes wanting.
We learn from Osbern's account of the conflagration of the monastery of Christ Church, Canterbury, 1067, that a cloister with covered ways existed at that time, affording communication between the church, the dormitory and the refectory. We learn from an early drawing of the monastery of Canterbury that this cloister was formed by an arcade of Norman arches supported on shafts, and covered by a shed roof. A fragment of an arcaded cloister of this pattern is still found on the eastern side of the infirmarycloister of the same foundation.
The older design was preserved in the South, where "the cloister is never a window, or anything in the least approaching to it in design, but a range of small elegant pillars, sometimes single, sometimes coupled, and supporting arches of a light and elegant design, all the features being of a character suited to the place where they are used, and to that only"
The cloister of a religious house was the scene of a large part of the life of the inmates of a monastery. It was the place of education for the younger members, and of study for the elders.
At Canterbury the monks' school was in the western ambulatory,
For this purpose small studies, known as "carrols," i.e. a ring or enclosed space, were often found in the recesses of the windows. Of this arrangement there are examples at Gloucester, Chester and elsewhere. The use of these studies is thus described in the Rites of Durham: - " In every wyndowe" in the north alley "were iii pewes or carrells, where every one of the olde monkes had his carrell severally by himselfe, that when they had dyned they dyd resorte to that place of cloister, and there studyed upon their books, every one in his carrell all the afternonne unto evensong tyme. This was there exercise every daie." On the opposite wall were cupboards full of books for the use of the students in the carrols. The cloister arrangements at Canterbury were similar to those just described.
The larger monastic establishments had more than one cloister; there was usually a second connected with the infirmary, of which there are examples at Westminster Abbey and at Canterbury; and sometimes one giving access to the kitchen and other domestic offices.

I added the wheels with the hubs and I will try to add the whitewalls myself, I don't know who they will turn out. I will dry fit everything to ensure all components go together before the painting process starts.
