Knockan Crag (Scottish Gaelic: Creag a' Chnocain, "crag of the small hill") lies within the North West Highlands Geopark in the Assynt region of Scotland 21 kilometres (13 mi) north of Ullapool. During the nineteenth century Knockan Crag became the subject of much debate when geologists noted that the Moine schists at the top of the crag appeared to be older than the Cambrian and Ordovician rocks such as Durness limestone lower down. Disagreements over the processes that could have caused this to occur were referred to at the time as the "Highlands Controversy". The argument was primarily between Roderick Murchison and Archibald Geikie on the one hand and James Nicol and Charles Lapworth on the other. Murchison and Geikie believed the sequence was wrong and that the Moine schists must be the younger rocks. The controversy was finally resolved by the work of Ben Peach and John Horne whose 1907 paper on the subject remains a classic text. Peach and Horne demonstrated that the situation resulted from the action of a thrust fault - this being the first to be discovered anywhere in the world. The older rocks had been moved some 70 kilometres to the west over the top of the younger rocks due to tectonic action.
The crag is designated as a national nature reserve (NNR) due to its geological features and is owned and managed by NatureScot. There is a car park and interpretation centre that explains the geology of the area and gives background to the Highlands Controversy, along with three waymarked trails that take visitors to points of interest across the site. The site also hosts artworks such as 'The Globe' by Joe Smith and 'Pipeworm’ by Susheila Jamieson that were commissioned to highlight the inspiration that the landscape has had on artists and poets.
This is the way I see You.
Not as a human.
Not as a physical entity.
But as a fully realized moment.

There is far too much blue sky going on at the moment, and so I have gone archive mining to break up the stream and add a bit of gloom.
The ball - or properly 'The Globe' by the artist Joe Smith is one of the rock sculptures at Knockan Crag in Assynt. The site is National Nature Reserve and is owned by NatureScot. There are several other rock scupltures and were commissioned to highlight the inspiration that the landscape has had on artists and poets.
Knockan Crag is famous in Geology circles as the site of the Highland Controversy as it was found that older metamorphic rocks were on top of younger sedimentary rocks so they were in the 'wrong order'. To cut a long story short it was eventually proved to be the action of tectonics rather than volcanic, and that the 'Moine Thrust' as it is known had pushed older rocks some 60 miles westwards over the top of younger rocks. You can find the story here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlands_controversy_of_Northwest_... , fascinating if you like your geology!
Also in view beyond the foreground ball are Beinn Mor Coigach in the distance, Cul Beag in the centre and part of Cul Mor to the right. The small lake is Lochan an Ais.
I took this photograph because of the contrasting colours but also because of the location of the Helter Skelter. It looks like it could be in the middle of the country or on a town moor but it is actually on the other side of the Thames from Canary Wharf in Greenwich.
Wikipedia: Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays, in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames. The original theatre was built in 1599, destroyed by a fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern Globe Theatre is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings.
You know you're having a good day with your camera when you capture an image of a heron standing next to you, then 10 or so minutes later you come across this beautiful scene in front of you. This is the bridge that crosses the Serpentine in Hyde Park and this photograph was meant to be as the light and the stillness of the water were perfect for the reflection of the bridge in the water.
Crossing The Thames on The Millenium Bridge.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge the "Wobbly Bridge" after pedestrians felt unexpected swaying motion. The bridge was closed later on opening day, and after two days of limited access, it was closed for almost two years while modifications were made to eliminate the motion. It reopened in 2002.
The southern end of the bridge is near theGlobe Theatre, the Bankside Gallery, and Tate Modern, while the northern end of the bridge is next to the City of London School below St Paul's Cathedral. The bridge alignment is such that a clear view (i.e. a "terminating vista") of St Paul's south façade is presented from across the river, framed by the bridge supports.

What more can I say it's Tower Bridge in London on a beautiful summers day, it doesn't get much better than this.
This was originally a bit of a grey day in London but I have wanted to get this framed shot of big ben, parliament and the bridge for a while now and so I decided to warm the shot up a bit to reflect how I feel about this iconic place.
A photograph of the remote control and gherkin buildings that I took on a stroll along the south bank in London last year. I have revamped the shot as I did not like the original that I posted on Flickr that much. I hope you like the new and improved version (I sound like a supermarket).

This fantastic ship has been on the river Thames, near tower bridge in London for as long as I can remember and it's open to the public.
Moulton Barn, one Of America's Most Photographed Buildings
Moulton Barn was built sometime between 1912 and 1945 by Thomas Alma Moulton and his sons. The construction likely took the better part of 30 years. It’s part of an area known as Mormon Row between the towns of Kelly and Moose in Grand Teton.

穀倉本身是摩門教徒 湯瑪斯．莫頓跟他兒子，花了三十年建於1912-1945 年之間。穀倉屬於大堤頓公園內，凱莉與穆斯居住區內的一部分。
White bread, brown bread, sesame bread, garlic bread, soft bread, stiff bread, cheese bread..
Hmmm.. I choose soft white bread.
So very soft like a cushiony pillow of love that melts like sweet butter in your mouth.
Life is mesmerizing when we enjoy the little things, like a bread basket, or the soft trumpet music by Kenny G.

خبز أبيض ، أسمر ، خبز بالثوم ، بالسمسم ، بالجبن ، يابس ، طري
عن نفسي ، أختار الخبز الأبيض الطري من سلة الخبز .. دائماً
عندما يذوب في الفم كالزبده يشابه ملمس العشق بشغف
الحياة رائعة جداً . . عندما نستمتع بصغائر الأمور
كـ سلة الخبز ، أو موسيقى هادئة في صباح ٍ عقب ليلة صاخبة
الحياة قصيرة جداً .. لا تنسى أن تستمتع ، ساعة . . وساعه

I'm really pleased with this shot that I took in the British Museum on a recent trip to London. I high keyed the image to add more light to this already bright and vast space.
I would appreciate any comments and opinions on this or other photographs I have taken.
This photograph will be part of a set of photographs from London which I will place in my London album, please feel free to take a look.

HAPPY WINDOW WEDNESDAY(S) !!
IT'S ALL JUST PAINT ON A WALL!
CLICK on image to look close.
At the bottom of my photo you can see the outdoor ceiling of the first story of a big old building. Everything above that is just paint on a blank, second-story wall. I have unskewed my photo, so that the viewer (you) seems to be looking directly AT the painted image, rather than UP at it.
My photo is a partial view of a huge (400 sq. meter) trompe l'oeil (optical illusion) painting.
The painting is meant to be a look into the past. Decades ago, the building housed a grand multi-story department store, "The Globe" (or Globus). The 1990 painting is a bit faded now.
Alsace, France is replete with all kinds of trompe l'oeil (optical illusion) paintings. I have put a number of examples in my photo stream. Many of them are in my album, Dan's Windows.

Spicy Spaghetti Amatriciana - from the Globe
From the menu of . . . The Globe
75 Fifth St. N.W., Atlanta
404-541-1487
Q: We ate at the Globe last fall with some friends. Ever since then, I can't get the Spicy Spaghetti off my mind - and have tried my best to duplicate it. I haven't been successful.
- Laura Barton, Atlanta
A: The natural response of anyone who reads the ingredient list for this recipe after tasting it is, "Really? Is that it?" That's because Spicy Spaghetti Amatriciana is "deceptively simple, " says chef Joshua Perkins. "The food in Italy really struck me as being so flavorful and yet so simple. It's really about finding the right, yet limited, ingredients and knowing how to do it."

Yes I know, he looks overexcited. If he was longhaired in this photo I'd drop my panties.
This is a photograph of coins from the Fishpool Hoard on display at the British Museum. This is one of the largest finds of treasure ever in the United Kingdom. Apparently it was hidden in the 15th Century in Sherwood Forest and didn't see the light of day again until it was discovered by builders in 1966.

Sculpture - General
This is a series of architectural features perched on the top of buildings, or doorways. Most are in London, although they could be any city in any country. I have not named any pieces of work as they were taken some time ago.
The first series of statues, are of Natural History subjects.
