This photograph was taken during the 2018 Imokilly Ploughing Match that was held just outside Mogeely County Cork. A word of thanks to all involved.
This high school student is about the right age to have served during World War II with just such a weapon.
Oh, the things I can write about her. She's a) another impulse buy, b) my first ever girl, c) completely unplanned, d) another MSD, though I've promised myself to give up on that size and concentrate on the SD size I always wanted, and e) FRIGGIN' ADORABLE <3
This is Button, everyone :3 She's a KDF Kiwi from Luts, bought second hand and she's been loved to bits and pieces since she arrived. I can't believe she was for sale for several, long months(!) and no one wanted to buy her (even though the seller wanted only $120 for her, can you believe?). She has the company face up and is in great condition (considering yellowing I have nothing to compare to, but if so it's even).
As she's my first (only?) girl I had nothing at home for her, so on this pic she's wearing E.T.'s old gray shirt and a hat that's fifteen sizes too big for her x) I pinned it in the back with a toothpick to make it smaller. The wig was something I got from the previous owner but it really helped to get me started on a concept for her.
When the Swedish summer weather allows it, I'll give her a new face up. But until then, she's SO G'DARN PRETTY as she is, I just want to eat her. ARGHRNHG.
(Also, I need to highlight her teeth, for as it is right now, they're barely visible ;___; </3)
he had just finished a bottle of vodka to himself, he said he was going outside to have a smoke, all i heard was badabump as he tumbled down the stairs instantly passed out and started snoring and then well wet himself. don't worry we called an ambulance...this was my freshman year of college.
This was a fun design, followed the teaser format as there are hardly any decent promo shots out there. I think the tag line works very well, true fans of the series will understand it!
This shot shows the source of the stream as it flows out from under the front, left side of the platform
super excited to be featured amongst such talented artists in a lovely 11 page piece in computers arts magazine this month. the article: Illustration - Today and Tomorrow - looks at "how leading artists are climbing to new heights"
this is the front double opening page of story - you can see my piece, "there's no place like home", in the bottom right hand corner.
the text reads as follows:
"jo 'miss led' henly is another illustrator whose work is making people take notice. she's not only dabbling in the uk art scene - she's used it to launch her career. after falling into teaching art, she realised she was inspiring others to do what she was frightened of doing herself. subsequent work invovled online and offline exhibitions closer in concept than illustration work. everything was self-initiated. this gave her the confidence to keep pushing boundaries, thereby increasing the creativity and experimentation in her work. inspired by poster pop, pre-raphaelite portraits, graffiti and art nouveau, her free flowing, almost classic illustration style came about on its own. she is now regularly taking on editioral work as well as further opportunities in the art space.
when secretwars wars took their live drawing competition to the designersblock festival in london last september, henly emerged the winner. she says, "being the only female ever to enter was enough for me, but after three exhausting hours over a 20x8-foot wall space, four rounds and four stories , i was victorious!"
This photo was taken last year in June, when the skies were becoming regularly blue for summer. These three flowers were on the top of the rough stone wall at the side of my garden and, as if to confirm that all is working correctly, season-wise, the plant produced the very same three flowers again this week.

This scene will look familiar to any photographer from Northern California – it looks a lot like Muir Woods redwood tree forest. Amazing similarity in look and feel, so I had to stop and take a picture just for that!
Near Hobart, Tasmania
This is Julia. She is my youngest sister. She is the only one of my five other siblings who is willing to be photographed.
This is an amazing place to accumulate different thoughts, and, or,get away from the WORK aspect that comes with college.
This was taken at Aparbat, a 4200 m summit in Gulmarg Kashmir. As an idea how high this place is, Mount Robson in the Canadian Rockies stands 3954 m tall. Reaching here is an experience in itself, there is an 8 km long cable car (I rode it while listening to Led Zeppelin's epic "Kahsmir")
Gulmarg is becoming a major skiing destination in world and is contesting for the 2010 Winter Commonwealth Games.
P.S. I hate the dust on my sensor.
This is a large kitchen with painted cabinetry along the walls, and a walnut island. The island has decorative turned legs and open bookcases on each end. There will be a second row of doors above the normal doors on the upper cabinets

This is the first set of stairs I take to get to my room. These lead to the first landing, and in turn to either the bathroom or the living area (which in turn leads to my room).
Finally today I got a professional lab to scan this roll of black and white film.
Mr. Mohandas – well, at first when we entered this house welcomed by Mr. Othman, the chief tenant, we did not discover Mr. Mohandas til the later part when we were about to leave the place after bumping in and shooting the interior of the pre-war house for a while. I remember seeing Mr. Mohandas was outside his room standing still when he saw us, few feet across were we were talking to Mr. Othman. The chief tenant told him that we were guests and were here to take photos. I remember seeing only his silhouette because of the sunlight from the window cast over him, making him look a bit mysterious as he was quiet and motionless. Curiosity led to approach this man to get a closer look even though at first I felt a little afraid. And so I started a conversation with him and at that very moment my two friends were already shaking hands with Mr. Othman and about to bid him goodbye. I thought it was not over yet til I get some good shots of Mr. Mohandas’ portrait. I begged him to have his photo taken. He kept saying, next time, next time. But I told him, there might not be another next time and that while he is still 'young' now let me take his photo. After much persuasion ( and a little sweet talk), he agreed.
Mr. Mohandas was very calm and natural looking during the photo shoot. He did not even show any feeling of awkwardness when three photographers around him clicking their shutters. My friend turned to me in the middle of the shoot saying, he is handsome. Only at that moment I turned to have a better look at Mr. Mohandas and realised he is indeed a handsome 'young' man. Later I asked about his age, he told me he is 72 years old, I was a bit surprised :D

This is the chapel of the separatist prison in Lincoln castle. The idea was that prisoner would effectively be in solitary confinement to reflect on their crimes. The boxes mean prisoners cannot see each other, only the preacher played by Dr Ian Whitbread, who I've skillfully chopped off at the top. This picture has 1st year students in it.

I saw this on Pinterest but can't get the pattern link to work. Looks like it was made my someone in Portugal. If anyone finds this pattern, please, please, please share the link.
This surfer was taking advantage of the steady offshore winds to ply the coast line. I was pleased to capture the entire setup with a sharp image.

This was a fantastic loop! Made even better with Sandy and Glen from the Coastal Mountain Sporthaus as my guides. About 40 miles, most all of it gravel... Creeks, river, views. Wow!
This is a NaNo project.
I am very tire due to time lag. Need to adjusted back to the Pacific time zone.
Would give you all more information tomorrow.
Thanks for your visits & support.
I deeply appreciate it.
This is a shot of a street in Fossa Nova. It was here that St. Thomas Aquinas died. The church at Fossa Nova is visible in the background. Sixtus Senensis, a Dominican himself, relates the following in his Bibliotheca Sancta: “Holy Thomas, when he was at the monastery of the Cistercians at Fossa Nova, near Amasenum, the river of Campania, the character of his stomach having been broken on account of uninterrupted studies, he laid down…”
This was a reasonably good noctilucent cloud display with patches of distinctive ripples. They were very distinct in binoculars but not obvious to the naked eye.
The timelapses run from 22:12 UT to 22:36 UT. and are speeded up about 30 times. The bright star to the right is Capella.
Note the smooth flow through the ripples and slightly turbulent flow downstream.
This P-51 is parked on the ramp at Republic airport during the annual air show weekend. Thanks to the American Airpower Museum for making this night shoot possible.

In the 19 century, this house served as a tavern and a place for transfer of pilots which were sailing on the St Lawrence River. It was the scene of numerous drinking sprees and fights. During one of these nights, a man was killed. To avoid procedures, his body was buried in the basement of the house. Nobody whispered a word, but the soul of the victim continues to haunt the house and its patrons. Over the years, it became unbearable and the tavern closed down.

Maison hantée de Trois-Pistoles
La construction de la Maison hantée de Trois Pistoles remonte à l’an 1830. Cette maison fut érigée par M. Magloire Delisle et ses frères. La famille Delisle était une célèbre famille de pilotes du Saint-Laurent.
La Maison hantée de Trois Pistoles servit jadis de poste de transfert de pilotes de Saint-Laurent. Une taverne y était aménagée et des soirées échauffées s’y tenaient régulièrement. Les marins y organisaient des beuveries et comme s’était souvent le cas à l’époque, les bagarres ne manquaient pas. Or, l’une des bagarres tourna au tragique et un homme fut tué à coup de couteau.
Les marins présents ont décidé d’enterrer le cadavre du malheureux collègue dans la cave de la maison. Personne n’en souffla mot et le crime paraissait bien caché.
Toutefois, l’âme de la victime commença à apparaître (naturellement !) aux visiteurs et ne cessa d’exiger qu’on transporte ses restes en terre bénie. Alors, les bruits, les désordres et les cris sont devenus insoutenables et les propriétaires de la maison durent l’abandonner. Le corps du marin tué demeure toujours introuvable et seulement les touristes les plus courageux osent entrer dans l’immeuble. Plus d’un touriste a disparu pour l’éternité, attrapé par l’âme errante du marin assassiné.

A Trois-Pistoles, plus précisément à Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, les ruines d’une maison construite au 19e siècle font jaser. On chuchote qu’elle serait hantée…
La légende
On raconte que…
Cette maison fut jadis un poste de transfert de pilotes et les marins y organisaient assez souvent des beuveries, les bagarres ne manquant pas. Or, l’une d’elle tourna au tragique et un homme fut tué.
Pour cacher le crime, on enterra le cadavre dans la cave et personne n’en souffla mot. Mais l’âme de la victime depuis lors ne cessa d’exiger qu’on transporte les restes en terre bénie et on dut abandonner la maison tellement les bruits et le désordre y étaient insoutenables.
Les légendes nous le rappellent sans cesse, les âmes qui n’ont point trouvé le repos en terre consacrée vont se manifester auprès des vivants jusqu’à ce qu’elles obtiennent satisfaction…La maison a été construite vers 1848 pour Magloire Delisle (1815-1889), pilote nouvellement installe à Trois-Pistoles. La maison, en pierre, est située sur un promontoire, permettant d’observer les navires sur le Saint-Laurent. En 1867, un cultivateur de St-Eloi, Nazaire Leclerc (1831-1907) se porte acquéreur de la maison et du terrain sur lequel elle est située, pour y pratiquer l’agriculture. Les Leclerc en seront propriétaires jusqu’au milieu du 20e siècle. La maison est abandonnée à peu près à la même époque.
Cette maison a été citée monument historique par la municipalité en 2007.
Dans le Patrimoine du répertoire culturel du Québec, on explique que »Ses ruines donnent naissance à une légende, inspirée d’anecdotes tirées de l’histoire du pilotage et de la présence de marins dans les environs. »

This amazingly original Fiat 850 Sport Coupe is about to be restored by Little Garage Classics in Halifax. A French car, it probably still has the original paintwork and apart from the driver's door pillar, most of the rust is superficial. The colour, white, is rare on this car. It will make an extremely unusual and enjoyable classic when complete.
This species was previously included in the genus Euptychoides; it has now been transferred to a new genus, Optimandes:

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 9th of November 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.

This is a communist era monument in the town of Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, called the Memorial to the Defenders of Stara Zagora. It commemorates one of the major battles of the 1877-1878 Russian-Turkic War that was fought in Stara Zagora in 1877.
The monument was opened in 1977 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the battle. It was designed by the architect Kamen Goranov and the sculptors Alyosha Kafedzhiyski and Evgeni Baramov. The monument depicts a Russian general and six Bulgarian volunteers who represent the 6 units that fought in the battle. Accompanying the solders is an enormous abstract tower that symbolises the waving of a banner. The area around the monument has been paved with marble and iron tiles. The iron tiles have turned to the colour of rust and the effect is really very beautiful.
After the fall of communism in Bulgaria this monument fell into a state of considerable neglect, but in more recent years a considerable some of money has been spent on restoration. This is perhaps because this is another of those monument that celebrates the heroic exploits of Bulgarians rather than specifically communism, but one can only hope that this change of heart is indicative of a possible change in attitude to communist era monuments in Bulgaria in general.
This was the view on November 15, 2007, from the top floor of a parking garage near my office. Now that it's mid-November, sunset is well under way by the time I get off work each day. By mid-December, sunset will be over by quitting time, and most Phoenicians with normal work hours will be driving to and from work in the dark. Yucchh! My least favorite time of year.
