The upper part of this Toronto skyscraper reflects the the sky as a deep blue - given away by the small patches of cloud.

I've heard that newspapers are getting desperate for free content...but hilariously, I seem to have been picked up by USAToday.

At at a highway widening project on Arizona State Highway 260 between Cottonwood and Camp Verde.

This picture was taken in the Hama Rikyu Gardens down close to Tokyo Harbour.

The gardens are a fantastically serene place to wonder around at your leisure, and I spent about an hour of my last day having a look around. It was quite bizarre though having the Shidome sky scrapers as a back drop to these pictures.

On a more personal note, I've finally got back from Japan the second time now! Whilst it's a nice place, 12 hour+ plane journeys are not really a barrel of laughs and I'm definitely glad to be home!

I found this in a pile of "river stones" dumped at a construction site in downtown Austin.

CAT 637E Scraper of Arvada Excavating

Part of a project I did for my lithography class at school.

Oh scraping. It's a zen experience. Makes such a satisfying "swoosh swoosh swoosh" noise.

The temple complex of Prambanan lies among green fields and villages. It has eight shrines, of which the three main ones are dedicated to Shiva, Visnhu and Brama. The main temple of Shiva rises to a height of 130 feet and houses the magnificent statue of Shiva's consort, Durga. Sunset at this amazing Temple is beautiful and serene.

I didn't take this picture though!

If you have trouble getting the right cutting angle, start off with the scraper at approx 45 degrees. Then pull it back up just a little bit more as you push it forward until it starts producing shavings.

The thumbs will push in the back near the bottom. Apply pressure to whichever area of the scraper that you want to cut with.

This is a familiar tool. As I remember them from my childhood I got curious and bought this one together with a few unused scraper hooks. This Skarsten model is apparently made for wallpaper scraping but works well enough on wood too. The removable hook can also be sharpened.

I used Playdate At The Park by Unforgettable Moments to make the card

Here the calipers show the thickness to be about 1/32" for my average cabinet scraper.
