I'm not usually a big fan of reservoirs. I know they're a necessity for providing water to many, but they often scar the landscape and look very unnatural.
However, Simpson Ground Reservoir is one exception I've found.
Although there is a long dam at one end, the rest of the water blends in with the surroundings perfectly. It is a fascinating place, with plenty of knolls and viewpoints to explore. I visited this reservoir for the first time over 10 years ago, and have kept meaning to return over the years.
However, it was only the other day when I discovered a few images of it on a hard drive that it reminded me, so today I ventured there.
The day was murky to begin with, but I think it suited the setting perfectly. I'm particularly fond of this skeletal tree emerging from the water. It's definitely a place I'll return to again as there are many other photographic possibilities in different weather conditions.

Beautiful colours of Simpsons Gap in the West MacDonnell Ranges.
Near Alice Springs. Northern Territory.
After Asherville, we headed to Simpson where we cleared out some of the trees growing in the siding to open up the shot. We had a couple curious locals come by as we were cleaning but thankfully, they didn't have a problem with us. We called it here for the chase and checked out the old depot in town before heading home. Sam's car picked up a souvenir in the form of a nail in the back tire, so we had to make a pitstop in Concordia for a patch, which had us eating our lunch in the lobby of KansasLand tire instead of a romantic date by the tracks. What a shame.

A new one not even in the ground yet and oh so happy with all the rain. One of my favorite Florida native plants.
The iconic Simpsons couch painted on the side of a building in London. I took this while on a private Ripper tour with my friend taking me to see Mary Pearcey's house. Her name has been suggested as a Jill the Ripper, so I've been interested in her case as well.

My favorite Florida native plant. Do you remember the birds playing in them when the sprinklers were on? and now look at the berries. They are hardy and wonderful. Thank You, Jesus.
A profile of Bart Simpson in Lego. Just in time for the May 1st celebration.
I've photographed this almost year ago, and been playing with it ever since. Yesterday I started to think it's time to let it go and put this on save here.
A much more recent image than yesterday's post. A recent stay in Bandon let me explore a bit of Oregon's coastline that I do not get to visit as often as I would like. One of those trips took me to Shore Acres and naturally, the hike down to Simpson Beach. You could be forgiven for thinking you had somehow spontaneously teleported away from Oregon and landed on some exotic island when visiting this beach. From the color of its water and sand, to the interesting geology ringing it, Simpson Beach is just another item on a long list of gems to be found along Oregon's coast.

My name is Homer Simpson.....My name is Homer Simpson.....My name is Homer Simpson. Will the real Homer Simpson please register to vote! The Obama administration has repeatedly said that Americans are too stupid to understand issues. They liken us to Homer Simpson (I'm honored). However, I do understand the issues and won't be bought off by a doughnut. I'm registered to vote and the liberals are O-U-T!
I'm Homer Simpson and I approved this message!
Camera: Rolleiflex 3.5B TLR Zenar 75mm f3.5 1954
Film: Ilford SFX 200 Black and White 120
Scanned by Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia
This is the very first photograph I took with my new purchase. It has quite possibly been many years since the camera was used. So I was apprehensive, and of course with film you have no idea until the negative is developed.
The maximum shutter speed of this old Rolleiflex is 1/500 (perfectly fine when film speeds were much slower). But using 120 film at 200 ASA meant I had to be careful not to over expose. I think here I set the aperture to f/16.
I thought I'd start with a celebrity and Lisa Simpson just happened to walk by. Perhaps those bars mean she was arrested after singing this protest song.

The Emirates flight I was on had one of those ICE systems for all your entertainment needs including a bunch of movies in English with Arabic subtitles.
Down one of the streets at Universal Studios, we stumbled across the Simpson family characters posing for pictures. I got this quick snap with a random stranger.
this week I have taken the Simpsons in silhouette. I carefully balanced them on a piece of wood in the garden and hoped the wind didn't blow them off. the row is just under 3 inches. HMM.
Simpsons Gap (Arrernte: Rungutjirpa) is one of the gaps in the West MacDonnell Ranges in Australia's Northern Territory. It is located 18 kilometres west from Alice Springs, on the Larapinta Trail. The gap is home to various plants and wildlife, including the black-footed rock-wallaby and is the site of a permanent waterhole.
Here's what I would look like if I were on the Simpsons. Pretty scary because it's accurate. Imagine that Scratchy is Rosa. Then imagine some pee on the ground right next to her.
Marg? Yes Marg Simpson!
So up here in the prairied of Canada - only a week early on November 18, 2010, our city had been lucky in not yet receiving our first winter snowfall. For our city, Halloween is the benchmark where we expect snow. Any earlier and its a longgg winter. Any days after without snow - its a blessing.
Well on Nov 18th our first winter storm warning arrived to mark the official arrival of winter. We got 4 inches (10cm). Then two days later another dumping. Then a couple days ago, another major storm dumped. So in the span of 7 days, we received 1.5 feet of snow.
WELCOME TO WINTER!
The cool thing about these snowfalls is the amazing natural snow pile shapes that created from the falling snow and wind.
The picture is a funny example of what I mean. This snow shape built up on a wooden pillar that stands right in front of our kitchen patio doors.
My girls looked at it and thought "that looks like the hair of Marg Simpson!!" So they decided to use a couple pieces of colored licorice and accent Marg Simpson's required eyes and lip features.
I had to take a photo of it for you all to get a laugh.
(All I did with this photo was adjust the image parameters a bit, crop it to focus on just Marg, and I PS removed a background bar behind part of Marg)
