Taken earlier this week when taking a stroll around one of my favourite places in the UK, Porthleven in Cornwall. My first 'Rules' pic.
Note: Because in certain cases, it's grungy.

Introduction to the Rules of Slamball
Slamball is an action-packed sport that combines elements of basketball, football, and gymnastics. It is played on a trampoline court with four players on each team. The goal is to score the most points by slamming the ball into the opponent’s goal. The game is fast and furious, and requires agility, speed, and teamwork to be successful. The rules of Slamball are designed to keep the game safe, competitive, and fun for everyone involved. Players must understand the rules before starting the game. This article will cover the basics of the game, including the court, players, equipment, scoring, fouls, and timeouts.
I no longer remember how to do more than the basics with a slide rule; there was a time when I used this slide rule a lot. It was replaced by a calculator and now by the calculator function on my phone. I don't miss having to guestimate where the decimal point went.

This photo was taken for the Reddit Photo Challenge, breaking "Photography Rules." I chose to rely on the colors and tones of the image and disregard the 'Rule of Thirds.'
Been shooting square, so I don't care. This is at the top of Castor village.

Sorry, couldn't think of a better title. They were just sitting there checking their pictures and probably talking about the guy that's been taking their photo. Taken at Chicago Cultural Center. That's Michigan Ave. outside. Please View On Black

Lance and I got a big kick out of freeze framing Laura Garcia Cannon. Very expressive, that lady. Even her husband seems perplexed.
...not sure if fence post works - I broke away from the B part at Red Pike and headed off into the mist - but was relieved when it lifted and I could stop going the wrong way off High Stile!
Rocks rule! Or do they?
The Molonglo River east of here is a lazy slug of a thing, spreading out into wider pools across broad flat valleys. Its headwaters are up behind Captain's Flat in the Tallaganda National Park atop the Great Dividing Range. Water from here flows, eventually, into the Murrumbidgee River, thence the Murray and if it is lucky drains to the sea in South Australia. Rain falling just a few yards further East will end up in the Pacific Ocean. It's ruled by topography.
Not much stands in this river's way after it leaves Captain's Flat. Then it reaches Burbong and things get interesting. The topography changes here and the whole nature of the river, for a while, has to work harder. Instead of broader, more flat valleys, the sides become steeper, the stream bed more incised.
Around 1949 there was a geological study around Burbong and Kowen by the Bureau of Mineral Resources. Fortunately for us their report has been digitised and made available on-line. Yes, they had access to air photos and they were carried into the field to plot larger scale features. Unlike the remote sensing preferred today, this survey put boots on the ground and did some brilliant deductive work in unravelling the geological history. Goodness, they even used petrographic microscopes!
The river was a key player in the analysis. Thrust up relative to the area eastward across the Lake George Fault and westward relative to faulting on the western side our river has maintained its flow across what is now a horst. True, the displacement to the south on the Lake George Fault is less than it is northward, nevertheless the relative downthrow must have been at a rate slow enough to allow the river to keep up. Further west things got a bit more tricky as the Molonglo encountered rocks with an altogether different attitude.
Leaving Burbong the topography becomes more lumpy; less flat. Intruding up into the softer sediments are a bunch of small igneous bodies. I know what you're thinking: they'll be harder. True enough, except rather than avoiding them, the river channel seeks them out and throws itself into serpentine loops and down a series of cascading rapids between gentler pools. What these good, old-fashioned geologists found was than during emplacement of these igneous rocks they metamorphosed and sheared the sediments about them. These shattered margins formed weaknesses which the river has followed as the course of least resistance.
So we ask, do the rocks rule? Certainly orogeny has a say; it pushed up the rocks. Further north it cut off the headwaters of the Yass River and formed Lake George. But here it was gentler, the river keeps its course — only deviating where the more easily eroded shattered margins of the intrusions gave an easy passage. When the river encounters tougher metamorphic rocks to the west it plunges down into a deep gorge cut through that side of the horst. Up here, the tops are dominated by older sediments and the valley walls by the intrusive rocks in one side and sediments on the other. Yep; rocks rule!
We called into the Strath corner bakery, Strathalbyn SA, this morning for a coffee.
in the playroom there was this interesting sign.
These flags, called vimpel, are a symbol of Sweden that are not subject to the Swedish flag rules. For example, you don't need to take this one down at night. Also, you can fly it before May Day.
When Imps ruled the world.
Braodstone based ME 49 on route 123 along Dame Street, with a Ringsend WV on the 150 in the background.
An ironic photo as the love affair with the Imps on the 123 & indeed other routes was coming to an end, the 52 strong fleet of WV midibuses would gradually banished the little devils from the streets.
