Taken for '52 in 2020 Challenge' group. 10/52. Theme 'Refreshing'.
This is a glass of fizzy water with some ice cubes.
A short flight up from the streets of Grosvenor Square sits a modern, contemporary spacious surrounding that constitutes the welcoming room of maze. Designed by David Rockwell, its well light L-shaped interior is suitable for all forms of meetings that requires making a good impression, or for others to find great comfort lounging in. Sit near the attractive and nicely stocked bar, at the sofas across from it, or at the dining room lying just beyond the front stretch. The atmosphere is airy, bright, friendly, informal but not completely casual.
The staff are affably trained but still require a bit more practice in suaveness to achieve what is required for a second Michelin star, and to match the level of the excellent fare, that, dare I say it?, was more innovative (read: made me giddy) than that from the kitchens of Restaurant Gordon Ramsey! maze's menu offers ambitious and appealing tapas-style courses; where 4-6 dishes compose a complete meal. The meticulous details on each plate impressed as they appeared to require much effort from a well orchestrated kitchen staff for their proper execution. It's rare to find an establishment where such care is equally given and successfully achieved on every component, but somehow maze accomplishes this without all the pomp and circumstance of finer dining. Of note: the play in flavours and textures of the crab salad starter, the properly executed meats, a simple but complex dessert oxymoron that impressed me in all aspects, and the incredible impression that a flavoursome aubergine paste "dollop" left that still lingers on my tongue. The only aspect that requires attention is the bread selection at the top of the service, however that is quickly forgotten with the flood of courses coming from the kitchen. maze is a definite jewel and worthwhile stop to include on any fooding roster with a menu that's a sort of culinary choose-your-own-adventure, where each diner will easily find their happy and delicious ending.

Soft chocolate dipped almond nougat and rosewater gelée
Due to my allergies to cocoa, I was only able to try the dainty fresh gelée. The texture of the confection was semi-set- almost jiggly! – and embodied a light moistness, mild rose fragrance, all sheltered in sweet sugar crystals.

Jinbara Chalet, Kemensah Village, Ulu Klang, Selangor, Malaysia.
Further in through the country road by the Zoo Negara in Hulu Klang, a 5km drive along an extremely tight, single-lane winding country road will lead you to an ideallic camping site at Hulu Kemensah.
Especially on the weekends, many city dwellers cars may be seen escaping with their family to enjoy some quality family outing, bathing in the cool clear stream, or camping at the many small chalets operated by the locals there. The stream flows by the square attap-roofed wooden chalets while shady forest trees and a small hill add a cooling effect to the natural surroundings. All along the Sungai Kemensah, there are many interesting picnic or safe camping areas frequented by groups of school or college students.
Daily Shoot - It's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Make a photo of a cool, refreshing drink. Go for something creative.
Nothing refreshes like ice water! I took my glass outside to take advantage of the morning light and immediately both the glass and my lens fogged up. I liked the mood, so quickly set up for the shot before my lens could clear.
This image was created using one speedlight and a bogen "magic arm" with superclamp. The speedlight was mounted on a "magic arm" behind subject in shower set at 1/64 power and zoomed to 105mm with a magenta gel. Using a magic arm, combined with a super clamp, gives one extreme flexibility when mounting a speedlight or even remote mounting a DSLR in situations where you normally woundn't be able to. I can tell that this is going to be a vital part of my commercial image making arsenal. Strobe fired via Canon wireless system.

Imagine: Outside temperature is 28 degrees !

Won't you want to drink something cooling ? = )
Its really nice and healthy too !
I intended on this being the subject for this week's post for Macro Mondays, but the shots I took of just the label weren't doing it for me. This is my new favorite soda. Boy, is it tasty and so refreshing on a mid-90 degree day in Eastern Kansas. Only 4 natural ingredients and 70 calories. And the bottle design is super cool to boot. For this shot, I placed the cold bottle on the windowsill over my kitchen sink with the sinking sun from the west providing the backlighting. They have several others flavors that I want to try such as Juniper Berry, Ginger, Cucumber and Blood Orange. If you have tried any of these other flavors, let me know what you think and I'll let you know how they taste after I try them. Thanks.

Pacific Sunrise
- A refreshing combination of champagne and Drambuie with the zest of organge and lemon

Drinking a lot of water was hard to do. to keep track of how many of these measured bottles I needed to drink each day (6-7) I put the same amount of rubber bands around my stainless steel water bottle (no plastics for me--to dangerous IMO).
I start with all the bands at the top each morning, and every time I drink a bottle a band comes down. by the end of the day, all the bands are at the bottom. EASY!
My favorite healthy ice cold drink... water, with 1.5 Tablespoons unpasturised RAW apple cider vinegar and some natural stevia sweetener to taste. for extra kick, I squeeze 1 big slice of lemon into it. I love tart robust flavor.
I drink this every day.
All the colors are astounding. These flowers surround our home and always give us a refreshing view from our windows.
Just for fun on iPad- canvas/perc/phg/br. maybe others I've forgotten since I did this many weeks ago! Lol
