This place is amazing and I have always been very intrigued by it, but I never was able to get a shot I was happy with. Well the big puddle positioned right in front of the building to give me a nice refection made my night lol.
I am usually a very orderly scrapbooker and cardmaker and in the past my layouts have always been very structured. I love how this art journal is allowing me to be the exact opposite of that! Oh... and the page is deliberately upside down in my journal (makes me giggle!)
This will never win any Flickr awards because it does not conform to art school norms. I like the insanity of it which makes you appreciate its choice as the Queen of Hearts's croquet mallet. The cutting off of heads, etc. is deliberate.
n what was probably the least enjoyable game to watch this season, for many reasons, the important fact was that Longridge prevailed and left Turton with all 3 points to return to the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division.
In a week where West Lancs games have been postponed, and ordered to be replayed after 87 minutes, both sides agreed to play the match over two halves of 40 minutes each.
On a difficult surface, in extremely windy conditions, Turton played to a rigid game plan and the referee struggled to impose his authority from very early on in the game. The tactic however proved successful as, without troubling Lee Dovey in the Town goal,they made it to half time without conceding, nor looking particularly troubled by Town's superior possession.
Crowd favourite Joe Melling had returned to the Longridge side after a recent head injury, and he had a headed half chance at the far post after a Brad Carsley cross that unfortunately came to nothing. In a sign of things to come Town complained that Melling had been stamped on by the Turton keeper, but their appeals came to nothing.
Manager Lee Ashcroft's frustration at both his own side's efforts, and the lack of protection shown to his players by the referee, was obvious as the side's went in 0-0 at half time after exactly 40 minutes.
Longridge now had the strong wind at their backs, and Jack Preston (pictured) was introduced at half time in place of the unfortunate Conor Linighan, whose neat skilful style was not suited to the playing surface. Town were now lined up in a 3-5-2 formation with Preston joining leading scorer Brad Carsley up front.
Carsley and Preston linked well as Town went a little more direct and, after good work from Carsley, Preston stabbed the ball home with 20 minutes remaining to finally give Town the lead that their superiority deserved. In the aftermath however, the Turton keeper clearly punched Ash Ball and was given a straight red card leaving the Home side down to ten men. 0-1 to Town.
This should have resulted in Longridge going on to win the game comfortably, but this wasn't the case as Turton arguably played better with 10 men than 11. However, with Man of the Match Ged Smith controlling play at the back for Town, Lee Dovey was never troubled, and at the other end Longridge failed to test the outfield replacement goalkeeper as the light faded, and the elusive second goal never came, nor was it needed.
As the referee blew the whistle to end a particularly frustrating game, Mark Woods was shown a red card, presumably for something he said after the game had ended. Who knows....it was that kind of game!
After the match Manager Lee Ashcroft was rightly just pleased that his side were leaving with 3 points, " I've not a lot to say really. I suppose the cliche is that you need to win games like that if you are going to win League titles, but there is not a lot of satisfaction aside from that. I feel for my lads because they've worked hard with everything against them tonight, in very difficult circumstances, and I'm just delighted to get out of here with the 3 points. We've no game on Saturday, nor have Turton, so maybe we could have played the game at the weekend, I don't know. It's 3 points and I'll draw a line under it."
This is the birthday girl, 29 today. I like this photo as she looks much the same as she did when she was about 6 years old :)
This is a touched up and cropped version of the photo that I previously posted in SooC. Taken using the Tamron 150-600mm lens.
This photo is from the third day of the 2011 Carnevale in Venice, Italy. There were no formal events planned so I spent most of the day wandering aimlessly around St. Mark's Plaza taking photos of the costumed characters. What a lovely day to be in Venice!
This is the PAX snowstorm that came through the south with 15 inches of snow here. This is the most snow that we have had here in tens years.
This photo meets the project goals because it is the recreation of a known image. i recreated a pepsi advertisement of beyonce. to take the picture i set up a spotlight very close, to the side and slightly above my face. i also adjusted the settings white balance to try and give the light a whiter appearance because tungsten made it more orange. in photoshop i flipped the image horizontally, and changed the image to black and white. i turned up the yellows, blues, magentas, and cyans and turned down the reds. i also used the spot healing tool to help fix some blemishes and then used a black paint brush to erase the black and white effect on my lips since i used makeup for that part. i think a strength of this photo is the way i got our skin to be similar in the lighting since she is lighter than i am. and also probably being able to use makeup for the lips instead of photoshopping the color in. a weakness would be not exactly getting the lighting the way the photo is. (shadows). also i didnt notice that some of the lipstick ran into the other, so i would have fixed that and tried editing the words on my cheeks. if i had more time i would have wanted to try a different source image for my photo and be able to experiment more with the photography and editing. overall, i am satisfied with this photo.

The Maidens - This morning I told my sweet cat a story - about how in medieval manors and castles they took care of the lord's daughters - The Maidens - and how the morning toilette was carried out with servants or slaves. My sweet cat did not believe me at all. So I made this AI series of images. Now my sweet cat believes my story. The cat has a very hard time telling real pictures from AI pictures - so I always have to be careful what I show it. If it's in doubt, it can always check the tags under each image - I told my sweet cat.
This view is from my doorway looking into the room. The closet is on the right behind the door.
The carpet is just on loan for the week. I don't think I like it after all, but I definitely love having a nice soft carpet there. Here's the others I'm thinking of:

I'm going to be painting those two dressers white. I draped them with a white curtain to try to get an idea of what the room will look like.
I took off my old blue duvet cover for the shot because it was clashing too much with the black/white theme and patterns. I tried this duvet (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20114468) last night, but it was the wrong colors: white was too bright, black wasn't rich enough. A patterned duvet might just turn out to be too much anyway.
The B/W stripes on the wall to the left are another curtain like the one in my closet. The next picture in my photostream has a better shot of it. I wasn't sure how to decorate the big blank wall, so I thought something large on one side might divide up the space a little and make it a little easier to work with.
If I decide to go with this idea, I'll probably center it a little better top-to-bottom between the moldings. And I might go with something a little more subtle. Does anyone have any other ideas for this wall?
this photo has just gave me my first flickr buzz moment , thanks for all the group invites for this photo . whoever you are
