This is one of two orphan sisters, living with their grandmother. Each day they hang out at the temples at Oudong, a popular local tourist site. They make a few dollars by fanning people resting in the public hammocks, after lunch. There is no social support for such kids in Cambodia.
This is an illuminated and illustrated copy of the Ḫamse (quintet) of the Ottoman Turkish poet and scholar ʿAṭāʾullāh bin Yaḥyá ʿAṭāʾī (d. 1044 AH / 1634 CE). Although different in content, this work takes its inspiration from the famous Persian Khamsah of Niẓāmī Ganjavī (d. 605 AH / 1209 CE) and the Khamsah of Amīr Khusraw Dihlavī (d. 725 AH / 1325 CE). This Ottoman copy of ʿAṭāʾī's work ends with a portion of his Dīvān (fols. 142b-151b) instead of the fifth poem (mesnevi), Ḥilyet ül-efkār. The text, written in nastaʿlīq script, was copied by Ḫeyrullah Ḫeyrī Çāvuşzade in 1133 AH / 1721 CE. There are thirty-eight illustrations, and illuminated incipits introduce the different poems (fols. 1b, 22b, 63b, 107b, and 142b). The brown leather binding is original to the manuscript.
This illustration depicts the Ottoman fleet, led by Hüseyn Paşa, setting out from the Black Sea against the Polish army.

wow...it seems like forever since I've been on here...school started, and I've been busy with that...sorry about not keeping up with everybody's photostreams. :(

This is a lovely rural site, friendly staff, friendly locals, not outrageously expensive and a nice place to fill up. The lady who runs the place makes the best flapjack I have ever tasted, now there's a recommendation!
Richard has a photo of this place taken in 2015 when it looked exactly the same, see below. As he says, it looks like a former Shell site. He didn't have that annoying speck of dust on his lens though! There's an image of the garage from 2011 on Geograph.org where the pole sign had a different design but still looked like a former Shell sign.

I went back to this place a couple of days later to buy more flapjack and to take some more photos, they will follow in a few week's time!

Note, I took this photo on the way back later in the day when the speck of dust had been discovered and removed!

This guy was eating the cat food on the back porch when i sat down on the floor he stopped eating. This was shot through the glass on the storm door and he was not happy about me moving around, i guess he thought i was going to take his food. Cropped in just a bit lol
This is Natalia, a custom doll I made. Check out her video here. ---> www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nyPr0ziXc
This is John’s demonstration on how to stay young. I like how the silhouette turned out.
That was a fun little fast flickr meet up, I had a fun time.

This was the first thing I wanted to make from the wool tartan Susancloth, and, uh…yeah. I made it! (while procrastinating finishing the money shirt for the kiddo...)
This is a closeup from the same series I posted from last night. This time I used a program for toning the image to imitate a black and white selenium toned print.. then pulled back the effect quite a bit, before removing the effect totally in the middle section and the top seeds, using a large sized application of Photoshop's Art History brush. You can still see the desaturated look of the toning around the edges, which helps the fully colorful middle feel all the richer and alive.
This is Pullman Yard, an old freight train warehouse that is now locked down and inaccessible. That being said, it seems to be frequented by graffiti artists, druggies, the random photographer, movie crews, and odd couples on odd dates... Hit it up with a fellow Flickr buddy one Saturday afternoon. I left the entrance permit at home but I swear I had it...
It is funny how even the most manufactured artificial place can get retaken by nature if you just give it time. This is all still indoors, but this warehouse is now owned by the graffiti artists and plants.
This was the longest escalator ride of my life

THIS WEEK'S THEME: "Since last week we did curves, this week lets see what we can do with lines and angles. Make a picture using line as a strong element of the composition. Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, leading lines, criss-cross lines etc."
..."OH, MY GOSH!!! You said...lines and "ANGLES"...not "ANGLERS".......ooops....well, I got the 'Lines' right!"..........LOL...wink, wink:)

This is the first picture taken with my new camera; the Canon 40D (Love it!)
Looking at some smoke pictures from other people got me inspired. This is my take on it.
I don't have an external flash, so it's kinda tricky getting enough light to hit the smoke. I ended up getting a construction light at Home Depot; 250W Halogen light on sale for $4! Still testing around how I could get better results. It's a ton of fun.
This is a house in Haugesund, Norway, that I have been drawing while watching the italian horror movie SUSPIRIA. Maybe I was inspired by that..

This small, dark, long-tailed warbler is a UK resident and has struggled with harsh winters. The Dartford Warbler's population crashed to a few pairs in the 1960s, but has gradually recovered since then, increasing in both numbers and range. It is still regarded as an Amber List species. It will perch on top of a gorse stem to sing, but is often seen as a small flying shape bobbing between bushes.
The Dartford warbler (Curruca undata) is a typical warbler from the warmer parts of western Europe and northwestern Africa. It is a small warbler with a long thin tail and a thin pointed bill. The adult male has grey-brown upperparts and is dull reddish-brown below except for the centre of the belly which has a dirty white patch. It has light speckles on the throat and a red eye-ring. The sexes are similar but the adult female is usually less grey above and paler below.
Its breeding range lies west of a line from southern England to the heel of Italy (southern Apulia). The Dartford warbler is usually resident all year in its breeding range, but there is some limited migration.
This rather down at heel tri-axle coach has eluded my camera for a while now, but patience pays off! It was on a school job at Melville recently and I ventured into the bus parking area to bag my prize. I had thought it was a Leyland Tiger or maybe a Volvo, but it turned out to be a very rare Wade 220T dating from 1983.
This single frame from my CCD camera was an unexpected bonus while I was adjusting my telescope in the early evening of 10th October. By sheer chance I saw the aircraft approaching the image out of the corner of my eye and just had time to capture this solitary CCD frame in H Alpha.

HFF! A challenge... Live in the moment this weekend!
This is the Educational Building at the Wild Flower Center. I see my better half in the reflection taking a shot of the approaching storm.
This might be the 33-kv line of the Nebraska Gas & Electric Company that ran south from Pleasant Dale, Nebraska to Wilbur and Beatrice.
This is a Saskatoon berry farm.
The skies while I was home for the most part were quite hazy with smoke from the forest fires burning in all directions.
This roadside stall was selling ballo, the local Torajan palm wine. At under 20 cents a glass I had to try.
I just Stop searching for the greatest story to tell. It's been more than a year and I'm tired of searching.I try to find the perfect idea and I think it just doesn't exist. So This is my main Barbie, I'll take some fun picture and built mini stories around her instead or my usual all connected doll world. Start all over fresh and new by buying her a fun and different boyfriend.
Sometime it's a pain in the a** to such a perfectioniist. i'm driving myself crazy -.-. I wrote about 60 different scenario idea in the last year to end up in such a shortcut but still the important part of collecting dolls is about fun...
See ya !
