The Temptation of Christ at Saulieu. The style of the carving is clearly that of Gislebertus closely resembling the Temptation carvings at Autun and Vezelay. Notice how Christ clings to the Tree - holding fast to the Truth!
Someone left these 2 beauties on a park bench early this morning. They seemed perfectly fine, had to resist the urge to have a bite!

Not mine, though I am sorely tempted to make an offer. This calcite is so spectacular in my opinion.

GPW Heavyweight Title Match
Bubblegum © vs. Dirk Feelgood
Just a few months ago you'd be forgiven for taking a double take at this match. The friendship between the two former friends totally imploded with the desire to become Heavyweight champion. Refusing to accept the demise of his friendship with Dirk Feelgood, Bubblegum spent months in turmoil not wanting to retaliate to the cutting comments and brutal attacks levelled his way by former friend and champion Feelgood. As time went by however, Bubblegum eventually unloaded on Feelgood but this will be the first time the two have ever come face to face in a one on one match. And to make things just a little more interesting... it's for the GPW Heavyweight Title. Can the fairytale championship reign continue for Bubblegum, or can Dirk shatter his dreams and become the first ever 2 time Heavyweight Champ?
Tag Team Special, Skeletor vs. Stella
Lethal Dose vs. Voodoo & "Sober" Mike Holmes
Alan Alan Alan Tasker's henchmen, Lethal Dose march into battle against former stable member Mike Holmes and the man they hold responsible for Holmes' new found sobriety - Voodoo. Cyanide and Toxic hope to tempt Holmes back over to the stable that two months ago he turned his back on. They want to snap him out of the spell they accuse Voodoo of putting him under. However, Holmes seems very happy with his new outlook on life and he and Voodoo look to send Lethal Dose packing in this tag team special. Lethal Dose have warned they will not be coming to the ring alone though, with them along with their attorney and law - Alan Alan Alan Tasker will be a 12 pack of Stella. Hoping the case of beer will prove to be a bigger demon to Holmes than the tag team itself. To fend off the 12 pack, Holmes and Voodoo will have Vooodoo's trusty skull, Skeletor in their corner. An unpredictable tag team match. Can MIke Holmes stay sober? Will Voodoo's spells work? Or will Lethal Dose deliver a beating big enough to break Voodoo's spell?
GPW British Title Match
Jak Dominotrescu vs. "Super" Sam Bailey
After pinning the British Champion last month in a tag team match, WKD's "Super" Sam Bailey has earned himself a title shot at GPW: "Christmas Crunch". Bailey, already a former tag team champion looks to add to his growing reputation by capturing his first ever singles gold in GPW. While reigning champion, Romanian Jak Domitrescu along with his cohorts - The Eastern Bloc look to make life as difficult as possible for the energetic live wire. Domitrescu has held onto the title since April this year with help from his fellow countrymen, but are his days numbered as champ? He surely wont be alone in this title outing and will have the Eastern Bloc close by, but can "Super" Sam Bailey overcome the odds to win his first singles gold in GPW?
And, the main event for the evening is...
GPW Tag Team Title 2/3 Falls Match
MIl-Anfield Connection © vs. Young Offenders
The heat just got turned up in this feud. The re-united Young Offenders have the most established tag team in GPW - The Mil-Anfield Connection firmly in their sights and not to mention the tag team trophy. These two teams met in September this year where there was no clear winner decided after the match ended in a draw. There will be NO excuses this time to not find a winner. This, for the first time in our history will be a 2/3 Falls Match for the tag team titles. A winner HAS to be decided, but who will it be? A truley epic encounter is in our midst as Jiggy Walker & "The Model" Danny Hope try to cling onto the championship that has defined them as a team and "Dangerous" Damon Leigh & Joey Hayes, The Young Offenders chase the title that one of the most popular tag teams in Europe have never held. Can the re-united friends overcome the well established unit that is The Mil-Anfield Connection? Or can the well oiled duo of the Mil-Anfield do what they've been doing all year and win again?
GPW British Title No.1 Contenders Match
Harry Doogle vs. Juice vs. Dylan Roberts vs. Chris Echo
After an eye catchingly good year from rookie Dylan Roberts, he has been included in this battle to earn a shot at the British Title. With a burning desire to win and the fans firmly behind him, Roberts could well mark his arrival onto the main roster by becoming the No.1 Contender and going for gold here. However, his opponents wont give him an easy ride. In a wonderful CC-08 tournament, no one impressed more than WKD's Chris Echo. Echo reached the CC-08 finals with two broken wrists and proved he is ready to take a step up. His previous attempts for British gold have been thwarted by the foreign legion numbers of the Eastern Bloc, is he ready to prove again that he is worthy of being No.1 Contender and finally lift the British title? Juice, the current CC8 champion has been as impressive as ever in singles competition this year, but can he compete in this match with 3 others all vying to be No.1 Contender? Also replacing Jervis Cottonbelly due to injury is Harry Doogle as a last minute entry could one half of the next gen score the upset win? , but with so many possible outcomes who will leave with the plaudits and go on to challenge for the British Title next year?
Lumberjack Match
Si Valour vs. Heresy
A violent and personal feud that has lasted all year long finally comes to a head in what promises to be a violent Lumberjack Match. Ever since brutalising Valour and cutting off all his hair, Heresy has, in some form or other dodged the challenge of Valour. Heresy claimed not to have lost his bottle or be running scared of the 2007 Break Out Star, yet during their Bull Rope clash at GPW: "V" where the two were tied to one another, Heresy still managed to find a way of escaping and creating distance between him and Valour. This time, in a special Lumberjack Match, no matter where either man go - there will be no escape. All lumberjacks will be at the ready to ensure neither man can escape the others clutches and a clear winner, one way or the other will HAVE to be decided. There will be nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide, no matter where they look. Heresy has been one step ahead of Valour all year, is this where he runs out of excuses, or can the master manipulator manipulate another win?

... The Virgin Mary, always depicted with her characteristic candor of a young girl, gentle, petite, sweet .... depicted on a cloud while trampling a tempting serpent ...... now are you able to imagine her fully armed with sword in hand, on a white horse ready to do battle against the Saracens ....?! ... you don't not need any imagination, this you can see in Sicily, in Scicli town in the province of Ragusa, when on the last Saturday of May, comes to life the feast in honor of the patron saint Our Lady of the Militia with the reenactment of the "Sacred Representation" with the participation of the villagers who, in period costume, recall the feat of arms of 1091 among the Normans of Count Roger de Hauteville and the Saracens led by the Emir Belcane, with the resolute intervention of the Virgin Mary coming down from heaven riding a prancing white horse saved the people of Scicli from Saracen raids. The "Feast of the Militia" is the only event commemorating the descent of the Virgin on an horse, who, armed with a sword, saved the Sicilians from Saracen invaders. This is a report about the Sicilian feast, unique in its kind, in which, besides the procession and the Holy Representation, is held the feast of the Heads of Turkish, traditional cake of Scicli with reference to the singular form of the Turkish turbans, in memory of the "Battle of Militia ".

... la Vergine Maria, sempre raffigurata col suo tipico candore di giovinetta, mite, minuta, dolcissima....al massimo raffigurata sopra una nuvoletta mentre calpesta un serpente tentatore......riuscite ora ad immaginarla armata di tutto punto con spada in mano, sopra un bianco destriero pronta a dar battaglia contro i Saraceni....?!...Non è necessario lavorare di fantasia, questo lo si può vedere in Sicilia, in quel di Scicli in provincia di Ragusa, quando l'ultimo sabato del mese di maggio, prende vita la festa in onore della patrona Madonna delle Milizie con la rievocazione storica della "Sacra Rappresentazione" con la partecipazione dei paesani che, in costume d'epoca, rievocano il fatto d'arme del 1091 tra i Normanni del Gran Conte Ruggero d'Altavilla e i Saraceni guidati dall'emiro Belcane, con l'intervento risolutore della Vergine Maria che scendendo dal cielo a cavallo di un bianco rampante destriero libera la città dall'assedio straniero. La Festa delle Milizie è l'unica manifestazione in cui si commemora la discesa della Vergine a cavallo, che, armata di spada, salvò gli sciclitani dalle incursioni saracene.
Questo è un report sulla festa, unica nel suo genere, durante la quale, oltre la processione e la Sacra Rappresentazione, si svolge la Sagra delle Teste di Turco, dolce tipico sciclitano con riferimento alla singolare forma dei turbanti turchi, in ricordo della "battaglia delle Milizie".

On a quiet Sunday morning there are only a couple of workers on site. What a temptation to stroll over the as yet unopened bridge.
200mm f2.8L
Some experimenting with my homemade softbox. It's been a while since I've done any studio stuff (or any shooting, really) as I've been up to my eyeballs in work. I've taken over the spare bedroom as a more permanent workspace. Hopefully I'll get some time to play with it. :)
I posted one very similar to this a while back that Lynn had shot..
That is the problem with both of shooting in the same place at the same time.
What a spread! And don't you just love that white painted brick?

you might not be able to see the writing cause i dont have an 'all sizes' option on my flickr, so here is what is says.
"So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night series, TEMPTED.
Virginia is one of my absolute favorite models to shoot with - I just cannot say enough good things about her. Shooting with her is one of the great pleasures of life and I'm so lucky to have done it several times now.
We did this indoor shoot in South Anchorage way back in December 2009 with Christmas colors in mind. One of the photographers found a wedding dress on E-bay and it fit Virginia perfectly.
Virginia is a busy lass - she has a profile on Model Mayhem and is currently getting ready to compete in some bodybuilding contests. I wish I had one iota of her energy!
Strobist info - I used a set-up with two Vivitar HV-285 flash units triggered by Cybersync remotes. I positioned the flash units at 45 degree angles, one set on 1/4 power, the other on 1/2 power.
I haven't even been tempted by a new Lati in years. Years I tell you! But darn this Haru with her cute little baby fangs and possibility of tan skin. This is not good timing Lati. I really would have appreciated a month or two to get ready for this. What to do, what to do....
The historic Shingle Inn cafe re-opened in the newly renovated City Hall. Today's lunch sitting was booked out, naturally. Just before the patrons entered we were allowed in to take some photos. It is all looking just wonderful.
