When a star or sun collapses it is called a death star or super nova.... this is my version/play with the Sunflower.

--------------------------------------------------

This is the final image in my Sunflower study series:

I tried an approach to show different angles, both untouched as well as processed concepts. I was trying to show my "seeing artistically" when shooting.

Hope you enjoyed!

The new Professor found her barings and settled into School nicely. There were a few things still left to do before the term started officially next week, and many things to consider as she settled into her new role. For now, she pulled out a book - there was material to review.

Life Study

In John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester UK

For those who set eyes on Deansgate's The John Rylands Research Institute and Library for the first time, 'library' might not be the first word that comes to mind. This masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture looks more like a castle or cathedral.

When John Rylands died in 1888, he was one of Manchester's most successful industrialists with a personal fortune of £2.75million. The library was commissioned in 1890 by his wife Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her late husband.

This world class collection includes the oldest known piece of the New Testament, the St John Fragment. Other treasures of the vast, varied collection include magnificent illuminated medieval manuscripts and a 1476 William Caxton edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

View On Black

A new flower for me - the African Lily or Agapanthus. The flower heads are big, full of flowers and rather drooping and shaggy - like a very bad hair day! So I took a few of the small flowers, and used the sunlight streaming through the window.

There'a a window, some bokeh and plenty of textures - so ....

Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.

This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.

Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.

The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.

The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

Shipwreck Reflected, Fleetwood, Lancashire

I LOVE these old shipwrecks near the Marsh Wet Llands at Fleetwood on the Wyre Estuary. This is one of two metal bodied boats (the others are wooden and are in various states of decay).

This was shot at the end of Feb 2021 during quite a high tide which allows for this boat in particular to be completely surrounded by the incoming tide. One word of warning though, this area is full of deep gullies filled with gloopy mud. You cannot see them during a high tide as they are under water so if you are going to visit during a high tide, arrive a good while beforehand and study the layout of the area. You might just be grateful once the water starts filling up.

I converted the pictures of this series to black and white. But a few of them I processed in color, just out of curiosity.
