If you read behind, none of the words are related to cricket, infact one of them refers to soccer. Then again, this is India, and cricket is a dominant religion :)

 

The cricket world cup semifinals will be played in Mumbai, today. Its between India and England, who are presently in red-hot form. Hoping for a close contest....

I've always loved stories. Stories are nourishment for the soul. Without them, your soul would die. And honestly, if I had enough books and no need for anything else, I could read stories forever. True story.

 

It makes no sense for me to try and upload photos in a timely fashion. That'll just never happen. I'll upload when I feel like it. But it's nice to have a goal to work up towards, so that's the only reason I even bother to continue with the numbering.

 

So this picture was definitely more trouble than it was worth. I spent about 5 hours moving around a couple hundred books, and another 4 hours trying to edit this (Hint: I definitely don't even have a 1/4 of all the books you see here). Even with all the time I spent working on it, I know I definitely didn't put enough thought into it, because I feel like it's lacking something. There's also a bunch of mistakes, but hopefully that's not noticeable. Maybe I'll fix it later. Maybe.

 

Also, looking at it now, I feel like it's one of those 'READ' posters, so now I just think it's a really generic idea. I was so excited though when I thought of it... Eh, whatever. Roughly 200 books, 75 photos, a 2.5 gig psd, and 9 hours later I at least have something to show for it.

 

That's the story. The end.

Some odds and ends I gathered from the internet about house sparrows in the U.S..They were first introduced in NYC in 1851.They are a very adaptable bird and flourish near people. Their numbers increased rapidly.It has been suggested they were introduced to reduce insects, but it was later realized they only feed on insects during nesting season. Their main food source is seed .They have adapted well and now eat a wide variety of food scraps from people.

Early on they were not looked at favorably because they displaced nesting birds such as Eastern Bluebirds and purple martins.The bird earned such a bad reputation that in 1880 a bounty of three cents per bird was made law in Michigan.It was possible to earn $1.50 to $3.00 per day. A lot of money back then.

I was surprised at some of the information I found .. In the mid 1500s they were used a food item and served in sparrow pie. a traditional dish.The oldest recorded life span is 15 years and 9 months.

Because it is such an easy bird to observe they have been the subject of more than 5,000 scientific studies .In recent years there has been an unexplained decline in their numbers ( not in my back yard).

One of my very young neighbors told me it was his favorite bird . I was surprised and asked why. His answer was simple.He said it was because he could always count on seeing it .

Excuse any typos , I'm a hunt and pecker. Hal

I'm sorry if you don't like edited photos, but I edited a lot of photos on photoshop in the last week. I mostly made Hunger Games related stuff, like posters (like this) and a couple other things. I worked hard on this, so I really hope you like this.

Read the set description for my brief take on the parade

There are so many great Dutch masters: Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, etc, of the Golden Age. On our brief visit to the Netherlands and Belgium we saw many great works, but one stood head and shoulders above the others, literally, in our opinion. It was beyond words, but I shall try to explain (and without Ai). It is a work by an artist called Hendrik Willem Mesdag (and his wife). It's called the Mesdag panorama.

 

Here we go. You enter a conventional historic gallery, the Mesdag Gallery in The Hague. After passing several very impressive sea and coastal scenes in oil you enter a darkened passage way before a turn has you on the bottom step of a wooden spiral staircase, about one and a half storey's high. As you near the top, the light above lightens and you find yourself arriving into a fabric tented, wooden framed pagoda, which appears to be atop a sand dune. But your eyes widen in disbelief at the sight before you, all around you. You are standing in a viewing platform up on a sand dune looking out over the sand and beach of Scheveningen in 1880. Swivel round to look left and right to see the coast stretch South and North, and behind you the flat landscape extends inland with the town itself, smoke drifting up from chimneys and even from a speeding 19th century train. But it is the view in front which is so fascinating. The line of hauled up wooden fishing boats, nets being mended, an exercising cavalry and artillery gun unit on the beach, further away are towed beach huts, and people in the water. seagulls screech. Look down and seagull footprints are in the sand immediately below you, an old whicker basket and a wooden clog abandoned on the beach. It's not some Disney or Universal Studios deception. The whole scene around you is painted on a canvas 14.6 metres tall and 114.5 metres long. The 'real' sand extends about 15 metres out from the viewing platform to the base of the canvas, but is landscaped in such a way that it merges invisibly. The whole panorama is 100% believable, as if you are stood there back in 1880. Words failed us. Flabberghasted, mesmerised, stunned, we could only sum it up by saying it was 'beyond words' and it was easily the best sight I saw in Holland.......a real Wonder of the World as far as I was concerned.

 

I tried to photograph it to adequately show you, wide angle shots, stitched images in panorama, videos.......all failed. You have to go there and see it for yourself. It's totally worth it. panorama-mesdag.nl/en/see-and-do/exhibitions/panorama-of-...

Brisbane River in flood, Hawthorne, 2022.

 

I have borrowed the title of the great Elton John album of 1973 for this shot after reading the story below from the ABC. It is very poignant and tells a sad story of a man who played a final tune on his beloved childhood piano before it succumbed to the waters for a last time.

 

"Brisbane classical piano player and teacher Gian Luca was forced to abandon his childhood piano when his St Lucia home flooded over the weekend, but not before playing one final tune.

 

"I woke up in the morning and our roommate was explaining there was floodwater. I looked out the window and I could see that the whole street was flooded," he said.

 

"I quickly went downstairs to our garage area, and it was already past my shins. One of the first things I looked at was my piano, which was my childhood piano so it means a lot to me.

 

"I knew that it was already probably too late, and that piano was going to be gone, so I thought it was one of the last chances I'd get to play it."

 

Knee-deep in muddy floodwaters, surrounded by gym equipment and his watching housemates, Mr Luca sat down on a floating fridge and improvised a farewell tune to his piano.

 

"I just wanted to play something really happy and a bit silly," he said.

 

"I could have played some kind of depressing classical tune, but I just wanted to play some really short, happy improvisation."

 

He eventually managed to evacuate that afternoon, with the help of an SES crew; but sadly when he returned home, the piano was too damaged to save.

I wonder what he played? This might fit!

Terrible thunderstorms have returned to SE Queensland overnight and this morning and are predicted to continue for a week, just adding to the misery and difficulty with the clean up.

Out along the smokies you can occasionally find yourself looking out along the endless rolling mountains. The light begins to build, the clouds begin to build. Not form the sky, not form afar, but lifting from the forest floor, slowly reaching higher, and higher. Creating an evolving picture of a sea of clouds. As the light peaks up over the mountains, illuminating contours and crevices, the sky begins to turn from blue, to orange. In a fleeting moment you watch the sky blend light and dark, and before you fully comprehend what just happened you are amazed at what is left behind. Sometimes, even rarely, you can see that brief moment linger long enough to get a photo of the mixing sky. Soon you may finding yourself chasing the morning light again.
