After the retaining wall collapsed some of the bulbs got moved around. This is one of the results of the mixing.
20189 passes South Marston working a 6J08 10.00 Hither Green-Gloucester Horton Road 'drain train' manoeuvre with 20142 on 11/03/26. Running 4 late and missing the sun by the same margin.
Too many visitors at the same time, not enough space to stand comfortably. However, for a person who grew up in Dhaka, this was a walk in the park.
2019, Acropolis, Athens, Greece.
This is from the same day this was taken.
You know when you are going through old photos and you decide that you really like one, even though you didn't when it was taken? This is one of those photos.
I wish this was film. I feel that way about photos sometimes after I take them.
Basically SOOC.
If you haven't already, enter the PRINT GIVEAWAY a few photos down. Its open until Saturday so Go Go Go! :)))
Same as those on previous picture but having more repetitions of the same pattern... Not as effective as flower tower, as here next level is less than half, thus it's eating more paper. Folded from 30 cm of kami. The last level I opted not to try to finish it completely as it wasn't enough precise for that. The finish on the center is the same as on violet doodle... :)
One may be excused for borrowing cliches from the realm of popular utterances. Then, that is how it does feel when you see sights such as this in real life.
A perma frosted river slam bang in the midst of tropical coconut trees in Bangalore.
This is Bellandur in Bangalore, a place notorious for foul smell, skin rashes and breathing troubles and a prime spot of ecological disaster.
Bellandur Lake is the largest water body in the plateau that is Bangalore. The terrain made it a huge reservoir which cheked the flow of water from the Koramangla and Challaghatta valleys and then slowly discharged it into the Pennar river that flows into Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu.
Till the 1980s it was a ecologically sound lake with fishing, irrigation of crops and potable water being drawn from it. The city population exploded in the late 1980s when it became the hub of IT business. Houses and offices sprung up everywhere at a frenetic pace. The income and cash flow generation was enormous. Money flowed everywhere. Business flourished, more people came in. In a few years time, the lake lost its potability, its fishing and its pristine beauty. The clear water became a turbid black pool with hyacinth growing wild.
The storm water drains which used to bring in the excess rain waters into the lake became channels of sewage that the residential and commercial buildings discharged unfiltered into the waterways. The lake just died a quick death. The overpowering stench of hydrogen sulphide and allied sulphur & phosphorus compounds infused the atmosphere all around it. A stench that we in India are familiar with where letting pollutants freely into the eco-space is not regarded as a danger.
Today the lake is about 700-800 acres big and is overgrown with hyacinth and weeds and it has two outflow channels that takes its polluted waters downstream. The public works departments have made two spillways which are narrow and it is here that on rainy days the lake water generates lather and foam that rises up many feet high and it piles up. The rustling wind over the lake ever so often raises large suds in the air and they keep on floating up like soap bubbles in a child’s play toy. At times the foam covers the bridge over the spillway and people have perforce to pass through it.
It is from one of these places that this photograph has been shot on a post rainy day in July 2016.
In the year 2016, we still have this problem and looks like will continue to have it in the near future as well. It is to do with how things are done in India. The Sewage treatment plants filter and throw the water into these water bodies. Even if you consider this as a clean and not a reprehensible act, then you must know that almost 50 percent of these plants do not even work and untreated sewage goes straight in. Secondly the number of STPs are not enough. The government of Karnataka expresses it inability by quoting lack of finances.
The situation is the same as governments in India have always expressed. Take urban transportation. UN, World Bank and a whole host of other nations and institutions had always been willing to fund a metro system in Delhi etc but the government would not take the money as such projects did not have kickbacks and opportunities for contractors to generate bogus bills as a tight fiscal discipline was always a pre requisite for such grants. So it took decades for the Indian government to agree to have the metro system.
That is how the cookie crumbles in India and I guess people in Bangalore as well as the ones living alongside the holy Yamuna river must wait for some succour and common sense to prevail in the corridors of the government where one day they may agree to being funded under a tight fiscal control.

Pinhole image of a sliced pear on a gold-rimmed white plate. My third and latest attempt to photograph this particular subject; my first contribution to the Worldwide Pinhole Photograpy Day (#1443). This is the same pear slice as the one I have used for "Pear No. 2". By the time I took this picture the initially yellow-white pear flesh had oxidised and turned brownish, plus the skin had crumpled slightly inwards. Both of these natural changes had a positive effect on the overall outcome, giving the pear more structure, volume and outline. I have also reduced the exposure time from originally 6 hours (No. 1) and 5½ hours (No. 2) to 4½ hours (EV10), hoping the dish and its golden rim would show up better. This has worked to some degree, but quite obviously a white plate on a white table cloth is and remains a tricky subject. I would have been better off, exchanging the white table cloth with a somewhat darker fabric. Anyway, I do also like this version and I am learning quite a bit in the process. I read somewhere that Weston had exposed at least 50 negatives of peppers, so there’s quite a task ahead of me ;-). No worries though, if I have counted right, I have only 8 sheets of 8x10 DPP left. Taken with my homemade, foldable 8x10" Camera Obscura ("Stenopeica #1", 190mm, f.540) on Harman DPP (Direct Positive Paper, FB) and developed in Caffenol.
The smallest is the oldest and the youngest is the tallest.
They have different sizes
Different colors.
Different origins.
Different breeds.
One is from Iceland and one from Shetland. Both are horses although one is called a pony.

Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
Same owner since 2002.
A proper survivor here, being rough and it's faded paintwork made this really stand out in the street.
It's only done 57k miles and does under 1k a year.
During my final days in Portland, Connor and I took a final photo together at a beautiful cemetery that I've driven past since I was a little girl but never had a chance to explore. Connor grabbed his grandfather's old flight suit and jacket from the Vietnam war, and we went at sunset and wandered around while waiting for the sun to go down so I could shoot. We ran into two very nice elderly men as we approached this hill.
"I'm guessing you two aren't just here to watch the sunset," one said, observing our choice in outfits. The other described us using a word neither me nor Connor recognized but it intrigued us all the same (this one had a literature degree, we discovered thereafter). As the final light disappeared, I noticed the man who spoke first had a little bit of blood dripping down his arm and I panicked, but his friend quickly explained that they'd just walked through some thistles and got a little scratched up.
The reason I decided to type up that whole story is because it was almost poetic seeing two elderly gentlemen walking through a graveyard (or "trudging" as they put it, haha!) and I also want to add that I'm very satisfied with this title; it felt so appropriate, what with the place we shot at and the fact that I just left Portland a few hours ago.
Well, my ramble is done. Quick thank you to my beautiful girls, Shelby Robinson, Kasia Cheng and Kiara Rose for critiquing and such. :)
