Here is the start of my new promise to finally start adding decals and lining to my engines, rolling stock and other builds.
Here are the wheels of my LNER L1 which have all been coloured with a posca pen. Although tests show the black rims sometimes get scratched over a (very) long period of running, it’s a cheap and effective method that I’m happy with for now.
I am purposefully not colouring the rims of the wheels silver, like all real engines; for my own aesthetic desires.
I’ll post more photos of what else I’ve been working on soon and will hopefully have time to sticker my P2 with Alexander ‘s help later today.
Enjoy!
Just the promise of a lovely day seen at dawn that didn't really turn into a really warm sunny day.
The EXIF data is all correct apart from the exposure time - 4 shots combined 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200 & 1/60 sec.
No colour adjustment of any sort just different exposures masked together
And yes I left the ISO set to 400 by mistake for the whole morning :(
Painted using The Elegant Writer Pen, and various Inks including, Liquid Acrylic Inks, & India Inks.

As one wanders around, you begin to see little promises left as permanent signpost for declared love. Usually these tokens are placed in an iconic location so the proclamaition of love will be seen by thousands. As for me...I liked seeing two pairs of arches ;).
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Its a secret made between you and me,
its a promise given from you and me,
its the truth only we can see,
its a wonder only present in our eyes,
its your voice and my smile,
running through the creek that made your vein,
flowing inside the river that made my blood,
its the promise only we know......
VERY promising buds on the phlox this morning! Let's hope the marauding deer spare it! They have munched through a LOT of flowers this summer!
In fact, I create jewellery and sometimes I want artistic and atmospheric shooting for them. When there is an opportunity, I create
Taken this afternoon at the back of my church opposite my Halls. Today has been such a good day and have got quite a bit of work done. Leicester is actually sunny for once! :)
Taken yesterday at St. Pancras International station in London. This is one of the many murals surrounding the base of the The Meeting Point sculpture which stands at the entrance to the station.
For the theme “your favourite prop” from the group “Me Again Monday.”
All week I mulled over what I would do for my Monday shot. I couldn’t really think of a favourite prop…I don’t really have a favourite. So this came to mind on the weekend and my husband graciously helped me even though getting his picture taken isn’t his favourite thing to do, but he’s all out of focus so that’s a bonus for him :-)
I actually gave this willow figurine to him a number of years ago for a birthday gift along with some other things…I know it’s kind of a weird gift to give to a guy but for some reason I wanted to give it to him. It was what it represented…this one was called “Promise” and on the card that comes along with it was written “Hold dear the promise of love.” I just wanted him to know that even in the tough times my promise to love him would be steadfast.
It’s a lot of give and take to make a marriage work and thrive. You learn to give of yourself when all that is within you would rather not. I’ve learned that when my stubbornness rises up and I choose to push forward and give where I really don’t want to something in my heart breaks free, something is released and that’s a good thing for both of us. I think more and more a little bit of the selfish me dies when I give of myself unhindered expecting nothing in return.
But I can still be so protective of this heart of mine; I guess you could liken it to being an overprotective parent…but I’m learning to back off bit by bit :-) Our kids can’t learn to fly if we’re always getting in the way and trying to keep them safe. Same goes for this heart of mine, it’ll never soar if I’m always keeping it boxed away thinking I’m keeping it safe…
Surprise au hasard des séances photos dans l'ancienne concession italienne de Tianjin, au sud de Pékin.
En Chine, les photos avant le mariage sont cruciales! Le mariage est un événement très important qui se prépare à l’avance, comme partout bien entendu... Mais il y a toutefois quelques particularités qui peuvent surprendre. Tout est mis en scène, jusqu’au moindre détail. Les robes de mariée sont souvent rouges, couleur porte-bonheur, mais on remarque de plus en plus de robes blanches, à l'occidentale... ou bien une robe de soirée élégante...
Les Chinois font appel à de véritables studios de photos. Un grand nombre de boutiques proposent d’organiser les mariages, dans toutes les villes, on peut y louer les robes, les accessoires, et parfois cela donne lieu à des situations pour le moins comiques telles l'épingle à nourrice qui ferme la robe dans le dos, la bonne taille n'étant plus disponible...
Toute une équipe avec le matériel photo (écran pour la lumière, assistants, etc.) arrive sur place en camionnette, à l'intérieur de laquelle le jeune couple peut se changer, et bien souvent conserver leurs chaussures de ville... ce qui crée d'ailleurs des surprises fort sympathiques!!!!!! Le photographe indique exactement où poser la main, tourner le regard et la tête, se cambrer etc. Et que je te recoiffe, que je t'arrange un trait de maquillage, que je remette en place une boucle d'oreilles! L'attitude est importante! Ce sont des saynètes délicieuses à suivre dans les rues... et c'est ce que j'ai d'ailleurs fait avec un immense plaisir et le goût de la découverte!
La quantité de photos prises est impressionnante, le choix est sans aucun doute difficile!!! Et les prestations sont inévitablement très élevées!!!!
Can you keep them all?
I'm starting to really love grain <3
My exams finally ended on Friday . I had a very good weekend !
Friday itself I had a very good breakfast , window shopped with my friends , then watched Megamind ( which is quite funny ;-) ) with another group of friends.
Saturday I joined friends with their DSLRs to catch the amazing view or Kuala Lumpur , before catching up with someone very close to me.
Today I watched Chopin ; Desire For Love and met someone new :)
If only college ended for the rest of the year. Going back tomorrow.
I have been absent from Flickr for so long . I'm not sure if I can return for good yet ?
My dear Master, to thee I pray. I do not expect more than you can give. Grant me only the comforts you can afford.
This I promise you my Master and friend; that I will never quarrel or argue with you; never say unkind things or point out your faults to you and,most of all, never be disloyal or unfaithful to you.
Though others may desert you and the cares of the world weigh heavily upon you; though you may have poverty or prosperity; though there be sickness or health; I shall remain your obedient servant and friend.
When danger is present I rush to be near you to protect you, sounding the alarm against unwelcome intruders at your door. And if need be, guard you and your possessions with my life.
Dear Master, because I am a domesticated creature, I need to be protected against the harsh elements of weather, and pray you will always give me a clean sheltered place where I can rest peacefully and feel secure.
Since I am no longer a predator and cannot hunt, I pray you to daily provide enough nutritious food and fresh water to sustain my well being.
Protect me, I pray, from humans who would do cruel and inhumane things to me. I cannot understand why some of your fellow creatures are so unkind, and thus so unlike you.
I pray you will take care of me if I am ill or wounded, for I also feel pain and have only you to depend to see that I am tended by loving and competent hands.
As I grow older and my senses fail me; When the infirmities of my later years become too great to bear, please be kind, and help me gently in my pain or passing for I have served you well. Hear this prayer my dear Master, my fate depends on you.

I think this statue was in the Palazzo d'Accursio (Town Hall) in Bologna. I can't help finding it menacing and slightly creepy - a touch of Francis Bacon.

The dogs on main street howl,
'cause they understand,
if I could take one moment into my hands,
mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man,
and I believe in a promised land.
(Bruce Springsteen, The promised land)
