On tonight's evening news, the weather man predicted we've reached a turning point for this Winter's coldest temperatures. The coming week will bring warmer temperatures and even a bit of rain. Mind you, this is the same fellow that only a few weeks ago, predicted the month of February will be colder then usual. So we shall see. In the mean time, I'll try a selenium tint on this photo from December 26th, when it was indeed very cold and snowy.

Fun time with some coins, lightbox, and color prism. Hope you enjoy this series as much as I liked playing around with the light and angles of the light.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have an excellent week! Please accept my apoligies for not being able to return your comments as often as I would like.

A grab shot while visitng Croatia a few years ago. Taken in the town of Labin on the Istrian peninsula.
Turning a wooden bowl, part 10. Here the bowl is is face down in a compression chuck (actually a different set of jaws on the same chuck seen in previous pictures. The inside has been finished. This step allows the bottom to be flattened and to get rid of the dovetail socket, which is no longer needed. After this, and a bit of sanding, the rest of the finih will be applied, and the bowl will be completed. I'll post a last shot of the finished bowl, although that will probably take another week or so. For 2016: one photo each day (207/366)
The rain descended through poignant landscapes with figures rushing through them trying to beat time.
Sainte-Flavie, QC.
This composition utilizes photos I took of "Le Grand Rassemblement," a sculptural installation created by Marcel Gagnon for Le Centre d’Art Marcel Gagnon de Sainte-Flavie, Quebec. The original sculptures, mounted on the rocky shore of the St. Lawrence River, are constructed from wood, cement, rope and other textiles. This image uses superimposition and textures to blend some of the photos together.

Firstly, a brief note about the song from the internet -
" In a VH1 True Spin special, the The Vapors were asked about this song, and they explained that it is a love song about someone who lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy. Lead singer Dave Fenton said: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to." It was inspired by Fenton's relationship problems.
That recognizable opening riff repeated a few places in the song is actually called "the oriental riff". It is often used when a Western song wants to invoke the Far East; other popular examples are Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting" and Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden."

Is it my imagination or lack of memory that makes me think we have had a lot more yellow trees this year than normal in autumn? Was this caused by a long hot, and dry, summer?
Whatever, it provides a beautiful contrast against the dark slate of the North Wales quarries.
Only spoilt of course by the contrasting Seimens AG factory.
seen at Deas Island Park where we ventured out of our warm car and scurried around snapping pictures. It was so beautiful and sooo cold !
Wikipedia: HSB Turning Torso is a Deconstructivist skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait.[1] It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia,[The tower's design is based on a sculpture by Calatrava called Twisting Torso. It uses nine segments of five-story pentagons that twist as it rises; the topmost segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor. Each floor consists of an irregular pentagonal shape rotating around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior steel framework. The two bottom segments are intended as office space. Segments three to nine house 147 luxury apartments.
The building is not for public access. I couldn't get into the building, so I took a lot of photos outside. It is surrounded by a posh neighborhood. The whole area is kinda of architects' playground.

Just had a couple of days in London hitting some of the galleries. Naturally I also took loads of pictures whilst wandering about from venue to venue, and this is the first off the roll.
Shot with my all new, all singing, all dancing, smart phone. Very smart as it turns out because it's producing some very credible and impressive images.
No, I know, it won't replace my cameras - well not completely - but it was a bit of an eye opener just how much has improved since my last smart phone purchase (and this one is sooo last year - in terms of tech) and I haven't even switched over to Pro mode yet. Many happy pictures to come I think.
Thank you for visiting my stream.
