I decided to go outside and try my LED torch at some light-painting, on my HiLux. I tried two different views, this one was the second one which is more square to the side of the HiLux, the first one was angled more from the right....which kind of distorted the lines of the body too much. Both had four exposures done at about 20 seconds each, while I walked around the truck lighting different portions. I left the torch turned on throughout, and just covered the front with my hand in between painting different areas. For the record, I used a very small amount of 'Structure' in LR....set to 20, it looks like more in the image, I think it's down to the acute angle of the light hitting the surfaces.
Once a Superfund site, Torch Lake's enormous stamp sands have now been "capped" and the area is no longer the threat it once was. Millions of tons of the stuff still lines the bottom of the lake to tens of hundreds of feet though, wrecking any chance of the lake becoming healthy for quite some time.

TORCH
Proposal for a restaurant, 2014.
The building is designed as a narrative of constant negotiations between boundaries, between building an identity and living in resonance with the local natural environment. It offers a unique merging with the sea while positioning itself in such a manner that prevents the noise and unwanted views from neighbor objects as well as from the always crowded pedestrian promenade. At the same time, it is imagined as an object in a state of continuous semi-permanence, always ready to be disassembled in order to emerge somewhere else.

Chris Bury's Olympic Torch Relay, representing Kent Scouts and selected for his contribution to the charity.
We saw this gorgeous exotic plant in the Rainforest Biome at the Eden Project.
Facts:
Rhizomatous perennial herb up to 6m tall. Leaves up to 85cm long, flushed purple when young, leathery with a central groove. Collections of flowers (inflorescences) grow at end of stalk, bracts spreading, deep pink with paler margin, floral bracts smaller, pink and fleshy. Fruiting heads measure 10x10cm, with each individual fruit hairy and green-red.
Pollinated mainly by spiderhunter birds. Grown throughout tropical South East Asia for the spectacular flowers and for food. The stems of the flowers are chopped up and added to curries or soups with rice noodles.
This is quite a large, spectacular flower, growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo.
"Now cultivated throughout the tropics, torch ginger is thought to be native to Indonesia, Malaysia and southern Thailand (via Flora of China), though other sites suggest a native distribution restricted to a few islands in Indonesia. Whatever its origin, widescale planting of Etlingera elatior has made torch ginger the hallmark species of this genus of approximately 70 species. That's a very loose approximation, because researcher Dr. Axel Dalberg Poulsen reports that Borneo alone contains 29 species...."

The sun shone as thousands of people turned out to celebrate the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Knowsley.
The iconic Flame arrived at Knowsley Safari Park to be welcomed by around 6,000 people at a free event for the community.
It was carried in by local teenager Claudia Dowdeswell and passed onto the next Torch bearer, Jane Campbell who completed the circuit of the Park.
The Torch bearers were surrounded by officers from the Metropolitan Police whose duty it is to protect the Flame throughout the national Relay.
Mike Dooling, who’d been a teacher in Knowsley for 40 years, brought the Torch he’d carried a few days before on the Relay in Tatton Park.
Crowds gathered around him to see the Torch and many got the chance to hold it, including Knowsley Mayor and Mayoress Cllr Norman and Wendy Hogg.
Around forty different community groups were also represented with stalls and stands and local people performed at the Park’s Moment to Shine stage.
To cheers and flag waving, the Torch convoy then moved onto Liverpool Road where the Relay began again.
It was carried through Huyton and out into Liverpool, cheered on by crowds, ten deep in places, who’d turned out to be part of the Olympic excitement.
One of the torchbearers was 16 year old Joe Shaw, from Kirkby, who was chosen because of his charity work for the disabled and the wider community.
“This was a great day for Knowsley,” said Cllr Eddie Connor, Knowsley’s cabinet member for Leisure, Community and Culture.
“It was so exciting and great to see so many people turning out to be a part of it. They were all cheering and waving flags. It was really something.
“The Torch Relay has made it possible for the whole of Britain to share in the spirit of the Games.”

Excerpt from a 1954 Zonolite booklet showing infamous "Torch Test" using the ill-fated vermiculite product in a woman's bare hands.
