Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.
Taken at the Barra's in Glasgow City centre, this site has been open since 1921, its a well established trading centre situated along from Argyle Street, I asked this gentleman if I could take his picture, he was a lovely softly spoken market trader who made time for me to take his picture even when there was potential roamers in his little section, converted to B&W just to convey the feel of the Barra's.
The Soo River Company steamer Soo River Trader is upbound on the Detroit River viewed from Windsor, Ontario with some gems still on the old Detroit skyline.

The greatest mystics have not been heretics but Catholic saints. In them “natural mysticism” which, like “natural religion,” is latent in humanity, and at the certain point of development breaks out in every race, came to itself; and attributing for the first time true and distinct personality to its Object, brought into focus the confused and unconditioned God which Neoplatonism had constructed from the abstract concepts of philosophy blended with the intuitions of Indian ecstatics, and made the basis of its meditations on the Real. It is a truism that the chief claim of Christian philosophy on our respect does not lie in its exclusiveness but in its Catholicity: in the fact that it finds truth in a hundred different systems, accepts and elucidates Greek, Jewish, and Indian thought, fuses them in a coherent theology, and says to speculative thinkers of every time and place, “Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”
-Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism, E. P. Dutton and Company (New York) pp. 105–6.

A view of Okanagan Lake near Trader's Cove.
You can see a wisp of forest fire smoke just off the water to the right. A day later this area was closed to prepare for potential forest fire evacuation.

Statue of a city stock exchange floor trader with the artists name on the ID badge. These noisy chaps in bright jackets have now been replaced by computers so they've had to find a proper job ;-). Cannon Street, City of London.
Selling lots of their lovely homemade goods from their narrowboats, nice to see it thriving, who needs internet shopping.

Another of the Dino Traders, this one uses the Pyroraptor from LEGO set #76951, "Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport"
I was originally going to use both dinos in that set to pull a cart (the previous pic) but the Pyroraptor is significantly bigger than the Dilophosaurus.
Not exactly T-Rex size, and certainly not Kale Scale size, but bigger.
First roll of film through a 70's Vivitar 35EE I found in the flat a few years ago. The film was pretty old too.

Ever since I first got the old Star Wars Kaadu mold a few months back, I‘ve been meaning to create something like this.
The aesthetic of this post is very much inspired by legendary French artist Jean Giraud "Mœbius". I‘ll be posting some more pictures of the trader tomorrow.
