Some time ago I saw an image from Wink on flickr who was playing with a fun fish eye attachment. Now I like to have fun, and the price was right. This is an old market scale, that I bought at an antique store in Temecula Ca. It's heavy! Took four men to load it into the trunk of my car and then I drove home with the rear of my car riding very low. Shot with my new attachment and then did an HDR with five images. Wink said it was important to shoot at a high f stop because of lack of sharpness on the edges. He was right because I shot this at f13, next time I'll do f22 like he told me to do. I like the fun distorted lines...Anyone for a grape?

Sunday 29 April 2012: Antalya - Kırıntı - Balkırı - Akpınar - Lake Eğirdir / Eğirdir
After an early breakfast in the open air, poolside courtyard of the Mediterra Hotel, we piled into the minibus and squeezed out of the narrow streets of Antalya old town.
Once out on the open road, we drove past giant greenhouses of tomatoes and cucumbers, orange groves with amazingly fragrant blossom, and, in time, reservoirs formed by small scale hydroelectric power generating dams in the foothills of the Taurus mountains.
In the upland valley, we lunched at a family fish restaurant in Kırıntı, and then drove further up to summer meadows to start our first walk. A short, afternoon stroll, Belton style: undulating. With snowy forested ranges to our left, and grey silhouetted mountains behind, we walked up through what, in a matter of weeks, would be summer shepherd pastures.
The clouds behind promised rain, which caught up with us just as we crossed a ridge - so it was a speedy descent into the valley where we chanced upon the mess tent of a newly opened marble mine. There are lots in this part of the world - vast white wounds cut into mountainsides dominating the surrounding countryside. Sheltering from the rain, we were given tea and introduced to Mike's trail mix, which would turn out to be a daily treat.
Once the rain eased, we set back off along the trail, pausing to take in the views out over Lake Eğirdir before dropping down via orchards and orchids to Akpınar and thence by minibus into Eğirdir town.
After a quick shower and settling our stuff in our room at the Otel AltınGöl, Hazel and I headed out for a stroll around down - tranquil evening light over the lake, the sky still heavy with cloud. We scrambled up to the remains of the castle, and returned to the hotel via the Hizir Bey mosque and Dündar Bey madrasa.

The Eastman Kodak Studio Scale. I refinished the wood with shellac to be period appropriate using real shellac flakes and alcohol. The weights were perfect per my digital scale.
Well, here's a first look at the ICG Yard on my HO Dixon, IL, layout. No scenery yet, but some of the major structures set in place. And, yes, the track is nailed directly to the plywood with no cork/foam roadbed underneath since the ICG yard perpetually looked like it was sinking into the mud and weeds. Tracks (from left to right), lead to the town track, the ICG coop track, house track, middle track, main, Mor-Milk spur.

After perusing the Art Department exhibits at the Warner Bros. Studio in Leavesden, we came to the end of ''The Making of Harry Potter'' self-guided tour in a room featuring this 1:24-scale Hogwarts castle model. When we visited, the model was liberally covered in ''snow'' as part of the ''Hogwarts at Christmas'' event.
A few details on this scale model of Hogwarts castle from the informational placard that accompanied it:
The Hogwarts Model
This is a jewel in the crown of the Art Department, the intricately detailed, spectacularly constructed model of Hogwarts castle. For the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, many close-up scenes of Hogwarts were shot on location, but the script also called for sweeping wide shots of every courtyard, tower and turret. To create those shots, the film's artists built this 1:24 scale model based on Stuart Craig's initial sketches, and filmed it against a greenscreen. The production shots of this incredibly detailed model were then combined, using digital effects, to create unforgettably realistic views of J.K. Rowling's magical school.
'Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers.' – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
About the Castle
● A team of 40 artists and crew-members built the first version of Hogwarts castle for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
● More than 50 sculptors, painters, and other artists maintained the castle during production.
● To make Hogwarts appear even more real, artists borrowed real courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were shot.
● Model makers installed more than 300 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns, torches and even the illusion of students passing through the hallways.
● Artists used real gravel for rockwork and boulders and real plants for landscaping and trees. Everything is perfectly hand-sculpted to scale.
● The Hogwarts landscape is inspired by the Highlands of Scotland, including the regions of Glen Nevis, Glen Coe and Loch Shiel.
