Textures: Topaz Impression and Topaz Simplify.
The first image from a mini-series taken in the quiet back roads of Northamptonshire & Rutland. The great simplifiers (Snow & Mist) were in play, so I knew there would be images that are not normally obvious. As the back roads were pretty much single lane, where the farmers had ploughed a channel through, I ended up not being able to hang about anywhere too long. All the shots subsequently hand-held.
Our life is frittered away by detail.
Simplify, simplify.

From a holiday photo. Waterproof ink on 140 lb cold press paper then added the washes with a waterbrush. Omitted lots clutter to simplify things ... but maybe overdid it a bit,

“It’s good to learn how to add up Sky, you need to understand numbers.” Said Bertie.
“I can add up it’s easy. I use simplified sums though.”
“No you can’t Sky, you can’t to do it properly and I’ll prove it. Suppose I gave you two bars of chocolate and put them in your left paw and two bars in your right paw, how many would you have?” Asked Posh.
“That’s easy, none.”
“How do you come to that answer Sky?”
“Simple Posh because I’d have eaten them. It saves complications Posh. Simplified sums you see.”
“Okay, how many would you have had before you ate them all up then?” Tried Bertie.
“Not enough, I’m hungry.”
“Listen to me Sky, let me try asking you it a different way. Let us suppose Bertie gave you a car to drive around in and then I also gave you another car, how many would you have?”
“None Posh.”
“No, you must have more than none.”
“I wouldn’t because I can’t drive so I’d refuse them. Makes sums far easier my way.”
“This is impossible Bertie. Why don’t you try showing him on the blackboard?” Said Posh Bear.
“Do you understand the numbers on the board Sky?”
“I certainly do Bertie.”
“Good, so what do they add up to then?”
“Twenty-two for the first one and thirty-one for the second.”
“No Sky they both add up to four.”
“Silly Bertie, you can’t have two different sums and yet they have the same answer. That would be far too confusing. It is much easier using simplified sums Bertie, now enough of this nonsense and let me show you how it should be done. Posh, using your way of sums how many jars of honey do you have under your bed?”
“I don’t know Sky but what has that got to do with sums?”
“Simplified sums Posh…excuse me, I’m just going check your answer. I can feel an empty tummy and hear jars of honey calling me.” Said Sky giggling.
This is the last of my Think Tanks built on the Hachi frame. This one also happens to be my favorite. While it has been fun building with a common frame, I definitely enjoy building things from scratch more. This did however make for a more simplified build processes and a much less cluttered work space. I’ve included a link to my Brickshelf below with instructions on how to build the Hachi Frame.
Built for Marchikoma!

Elliott Bay Marina is a private marina located in Seattle, Washington. It opened in 1991, after 17 years in the planning and permit process. There are 900 slips available for pumpout usage. There is a stationary pumpout located on the fuel dock. The facility also has a Porta-Potty dump station.
The slips range in size from 32 to 63 feet with 52% of the boats between 36 and 50 feet LOA. The boat types are evenly split between sailboats and powerboats, which reflects the great sailing conditions on Puget Sound. Forty boats are liveaboards. Another 60 docks must remain available for transient boaters per agreement with the city.
.. and probably vertical lines symbolising grounding or something similar? who knows - more to ponder on

Bagnall Austerity 0-6-0ST The Duke “runs round” at Duffield, Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, 21st September 2024
Locomotive History
During the Second World War, the War Department was persuaded by Hunslet that a simplified version of their modern 50550 design would be the solution to its needs for a 0-6-0 shunting engine. The first was completed by Hunslet at the start of 1943 and assisted by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co., W. G. Bagnall, Hudswell Clarke, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns and the Vulcan Foundry three hundred and seventy seven had been built for the War Department by 1947. Production continued for industrial use until 1964 by which time four hundred and eighty five locomotives had been built. The Duke was built by W G Bagnall in 1944 (works no. 2746) for the War Department and numbered WD75158. Following its war service it was sold to the National Coal Board and was in use until withdrawn from Featherstone Colliery circa 1982. It was purchased for preservation in 1983 and moved to Peak Rails site at Buxton. Following overhaul it entered traffic in 1988 and moved to Peak Rail’s Darley Dale site in 1990. It moved to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in November 2010 and has recently re-entered service following overhaul completed in 2023.

Lingyin Temple (simplified Chinese: 灵隐寺; traditional Chinese: 靈隱寺; pinyin: Língyǐn Sì) is a Buddhist temple of the Chan sect located north-west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The temple's name is commonly translated into English as Temple of the Soul's Retreat, which is a literal translation of the Chinese. It is one of the largest and wealthiest Buddhist temples in China, and contains numerous pagodas and Buddhist grottoes.
The monastery is the largest of several temples in the Wulin Mountains (Chinese: 武林山; Pinyin: Wǔlínshān), which also features many grottos and religious rock carvings, the most famous of which is the Feilai Feng (Traditional Chinese: 飛來峰石窟; Simplified Chinese:飞来峰石窟; literally: "the peak that flew hither").
According to tradition, the monastery was founded in 328 AD during the Eastern Jin dynasty (266–420) by an Indian monk, named Huili in Chinese. From its inception, Lingyin was a famous monastery in the Jiangnan region.
During the Cultural Revolution, the temple and grounds suffered damage at the hands of red guards, but the students of Zhejiang University tried to protect the temple. The temple managed to avoid large scale destruction partly because of the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai.
Today the temple is thriving as a destination for both pilgrims and tourists. It is regarded as one of the wealthiest monasteries in China, and regular pilgrims have included former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping.
The Wuling Mountains area is a major centre of Chan Buddhism in south-eastern China. A number of smaller temples are also located in the area. Today, Lingyin and the surrounding areas are marketed as the Lingyin-Feilai Feng Scenic Area, with ticketed admission.

El templo de Lingyin (chino simplificado: 灵隐寺; chino tradicional: 靈隱寺; pinyin: Língyǐn Sì) es un templo budista de la secta Chan situado al noroeste de Hangzhou, en la provincia china de Zhejiang. El nombre del templo se traduce comúnmente al inglés como Temple of the Soul's Retreat (Retiro del Templo del Alma), que es una traducción literal del chino. Es uno de los templos budistas más grandes y ricos de China, y contiene numerosas pagodas y grutas budistas.
El monasterio es el mayor de varios templos de las montañas Wulin (chino: 武林山; pinyin: Wǔlínshān), que también cuenta con numerosas grutas y tallas religiosas en la roca, la más famosa de las cuales es el Feilai Feng (chino tradicional: 飛來峰石窟; chino simplificado:飞来峰石窟; literalmente: "el pico que voló hasta aquí").
Según la tradición, el monasterio fue fundado en el año 328 d.C. durante la dinastía Jin Oriental (266-420) por un monje indio, llamado Huili en chino. Desde sus inicios, Lingyin fue un famoso monasterio de la región de Jiangnan.
Durante la Revolución Cultural, el templo y sus terrenos sufrieron daños a manos de los guardias rojos, pero los estudiantes de la Universidad de Zhejiang intentaron protegerlo. El templo logró evitar la destrucción a gran escala en parte gracias a las instrucciones del primer ministro Zhou Enlai.
En la actualidad, el templo prospera como destino tanto para peregrinos como para turistas. Está considerado uno de los monasterios más ricos de China, y entre sus peregrinos habituales se encuentra el antiguo líder supremo Deng Xiaoping.
La zona de las montañas Wuling es un importante centro del budismo Chan en el sureste de China. En la zona también hay varios templos más pequeños. En la actualidad, Lingyin y sus alrededores se comercializan como Zona Escénica de Lingyin-Feilai Feng, con entrada.
I filled a glass baking dish with water and placed the daisy just barley under the water. I left the stem long enough to touch the bottom to keep it from moving around. After frozen I placed it in my window for back light to photograph it. Adjustments in LR and Topaz Simplify.
