My first acquaintance with Steven King. I love this book "The Shining" and also the movie with Jack Nicholson, a great actor!
If you never have read it or saw the movie and you like horror stories, it is a must to read and see ;-))
I like his style of writing, it is always plausible how the story line grows, but at some point there is that creepy feeling that you know it can't be.
For the Macro Mondays Theme: My Favourite Novel (Fiction).
Happy Macro Monday everyone!!!!
*Working Towards a Better World
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool. Stephen King
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
William Shakespeare
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. Henri Nouwen
When you form a team, why do you try to form a team? Because teamwork builds trust and trust builds speed. Russel Honore
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The idea for the picture and the idea for the accompanying song is from the daughter of our friends (she is eleven). She tried different hand positions to make the scene as realistic as possible. She was acting like a stunt girl and judging the effect in the photo like a special effects director :). Again a lot of fun. You can get an idea how it was done by looking at the second picture in the series ;)
Telling surreal stories no 3. (no 1 is "gaining height", no 2 is "It is not as you think it is").

Maybe I've been reading too much Scott Sigler, Stephen King and Dean Koontz recently, but this Poinsettia macro looks decidedly alien to me. It also fits in with this weeks blur theme. Have a great week : D
My dearest Flickr friends we have to continue our positive thoughts and vibes this year, if we all get together, we may well make a difference, so let's do it!!!!
It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

Just Clowning Around with a little toy clown and a black plastic bag as a background, I’ve just added a little sparkle to his eyes for fun.
Rumored haunted. It is believed there is one, possibly two ghosts residing in the Hotel Europe (c. 1909). The first ghost was reported in the early '80s by a contractor who had been working on some repairs alone in the cellar, near the bricked up areaway entrance. Supposedly, he had left the cellar briefly and when he returned he found his tools had been scattered all over the floor. He heard scratching noises coming from behind the brick wall (a wall said to have been previously filled in) and felt a bad presence. He grabbed his tools and fled. Also, reported was a man dressed in a black coat with a flat cap that appeared in the shop on the ground level. One evening in the early 2000's after the shop owner had closed the store, the owner saw a man/ghost clearly reflected in the convex security mirror at the top end of the store. She was surprised to see him as she was sure there were no customers left in the store when she locked up. When she went to investigate, there was nobody there. The man in the mirror had vanished. The owner was left shaken and fled the property. This man/ghost was reported to return again at a later date.
It is questioned if this was the same original ghost or indeed a second one.
Hotel Europe is a 108 year old, six storey, flatiron style building, built on a pie shaped property located in Historical Gastown, Vancouver BC Canada.
Construction began in 1908 and the hotel was completed and opened in 1909.
It was the first reinforced concrete structure to be built in Canada and the earliest fireproof hotel in Western Canada.
For the first years, the hotel flourished as people arrived to Vancouver by Steamship and stayed at the hotel.
The ground floor was once a beer parlour and is now currently a store. Below this beer parlour was an underground saloon accessible by stairs from a sidewalk entrance.
The underground area, including the saloon is said to have extended under the sidewalks on both sides of the hotel. These extensions were known as “areaways,” a typical feature of buildings in the Gastown area. Areaways were used to load and unload freight through trap doors in the outside sidewalk.
The Hotel Europe’s areaways were eventually filled in and bricked up and the underground saloon is said to be now a storage basement.
A more luxurious, Vancouver hotel opened in 1919 and the guest traffic shifted to the new hotel. At sometime it was said that the Hotel Europe became a brothel.
This building was later renovated into suites and is currently an affordable housing complex.

Check the Closet
You must always check the closet before you go to bed.
Creatures can creep out in the nights darkness to take your head.
Scary Photoshoots are a great adventure.
I do not know why they are not done more.
Kids LOVE them a lot more than standing in some dusty cow field trying to smile.

Just a little rendition of what I saw in my head as I was reading Steven Kings "Duma Key" The large shell on the horizon and the floating tennis balls are part of the story that the character painted in the book. I had the sunset and the shell from a former upload. Just added the tennis balls and this is my imagination running away.
BTW a good read too.....
Ornate door knocker of Needful Things, an antique furniture and art business, in St James’s Street, Kemp Town, Brighton, East Sussex.
Needful Things is the name of Stephen King novel and film.
The kitsch shop is like a splendid part of the Addams Family mansion plonked down onto the street.
The local council claim that the shop does not have planning permission for the style of front door, (and would not gain it, even if applied for).
There appears to be a hypocritical element in the local council's attitude. In the same street an unlicensed Starbucks has been the focus of protesters as it has been operating for some time despite not having the appropriate planning permission.

Steve Jobs says that he paid his way through college by claiming the deposit on found Coca Cola bottles. In Brighton Coke is again being sold in shops (not just in pubs) in classic shaped bottles, although they are not returnable for any deposit. Coca cola are not fools. It must be economic. The market has decided!
Needful Things is also the name of a Stephen King novel and film.

Going through a very hectic patch work wise and badly need a Hump Day Smile !Here we have another of those skeletons from the antique shop imposed over a shot of our '58 Plymouth Fury....otherwise known as "Christine". Those familiar with The Horror Movie of this name, based on the Steven King Novel about a car possessed by pure evil, will remember the opening scene as Christine rolls down the production line as "Bad to the Bone" plays on the soundtrack!
Sorry to all who have not had a comment on their work in a few days - now i am over the hump I will get on the case!
Happy Hump Day!
This 1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille seems terrifies of being left alone in the garage with the 1957 Plymouth Fury , possibly possessed by the Devil & made famous in the Classic Horror Movie "Christine'.

While it's considerably different from the book The Shining stands as one of the most memorable and thrilling horror movies ever created. Playing more more on a psychological level than just your average blood and guts piece Kubrick's vision of King's novel has terrified audiences for thirty years and a great deal of that goes to Nicholson's portrayal of Mr. Torrence.
This was hanging in the shacks from the previous photo. I believe this is Pennywise, the clown in the horror book and movie It.
I had to look this up. I've never seen the movie, nor read the book.
