Once again, PLAYING with the ''Vignette Program'' on my free Picasa editing program...adding the pinks around the edges....fun....
Two sides to me and my photography. The left side is my photo look. Smiley-ish with cool make up and hair all pretty (or so I tell myself) and the right side is how I look usually. None to little make up, hair tied back in a variety of 3 styles and just being normal really. Of course, most of you only see my glammed up version (except a few photos where I have no make up on)
I'll break it down - on the right side I have on no make up whatsoever. On the left side, I have on, mascara, eyeliner, blusher, lipstick and lipstick lock. The hair is natural on both sides and is pinned back in the middle and tied in a small bun on the right. Thats it :-)
26. I have a love/hate relationship with London.
Saw this a while ago in Perth, Western Australia. This was taken before I had my new lens a polariser, so the there's lots of reflections, but honestly I like them.
Never really found the time to upload this one, so anyway here we are! Hope you like it.

These breakers are just north of Sunset Beach near Stanley Park in Vancouver. Look closely and you'll find two young women sitting on the rocks enjoying the sunset and the early evening. I used the HDR toning feature of PS in post for this image.
Went out last night with Jo. I couldn't be bothered with dancing after a busy week last week and working late yesterday.

Hamburg
The Hamburg flak towers are two large, concrete, steel-reinforced air defense and air defense structures in the Hamburg districts of St. Pauli and Wilhelmsburg. Originally, four towers were built during the Second World War, more precisely in the years from 1942 to 1944, two of which were designed as bunkers with mounted anti-aircraft guns and two as smaller control centers. The towers could only partially meet the military requirements for a combat position; But they were all the more successful as a shelter for the population and in terms of propaganda because they were designed as almost indestructible fortresses. Because of their self-sufficient construction, they might have had a long-term defense against attacking ground troops. Of the four built towers, the two battle towers have been preserved.
In response to the Allied air raids on Berlin, the “Führer order to erect flak towers in Berlin” was issued on September 9, 1940, which was extended to the cities of Vienna and Hamburg by the end of 1942 in order to protect them from bombing raids. During the Second World War, Hamburg became the target of Allied air raids, among other things because several large shipyards such as Blohm & Voss, Howaldtswerke, Deutsche Werft and H.C. Stülcken's son who produced many of the German submarines. The flak towers were designed by the architect Friedrich Tamms under the direction of Albert Speer, General Building Inspector for the Reich capital, and realized by the Todt Organization, also with the use of thousands of foreign and forced laborers.
The Flakturm IV in St. Pauli belongs to type 1. The high-rise bunker on Feldstrasse was built in 1942 by 1,000 forced laborers in 300 days. He was armed with four 10.5 cm anti-aircraft guns, which were replaced by four 12.8 cm Flakzwilling 40 in August 1942. The Flakturm IV is one of the largest bunkers ever built. The base measures 75 meters by 75 meters and is 38 meters high. The wall thickness is 3.5 meters; the ceiling is five meters thick. Windows were built in and sealed with concrete seals. Although the capacity was limited to 18,000 people, up to 25,000 people sought refuge in the bunker during the heavy air raids on Hamburg in the summer of 1943. There was a special pram entrance for women with children. In the bunker there was a spiral staircase to the top, which initially had no handrail and was life-threatening in crowded conditions.
The bunker Feldstrasse was used by civilian tenants after the war, as there was a great shortage of living space in Hamburg at that time. That is why the tower was prevented from being blown up in July 1947, and the required explosive force would probably have affected large parts of the city center. Corresponding experience was gained from comparable systems in Berlin. During the Cold War, the intact combat tower was reactivated as an air raid shelter.
In 1990 the building was sold for around 1.6 million DM and converted into a media center, which today houses the Uebel & Dangerous disco and a large branch of the musical instrument dealer JustMusic. In 1993 the investor Thomas Matzen acquired the heritable building right for the bunker until 2053 for 6 million DM at that time. In the meantime, this heritable building right has been transferred to Matzen Immobilien GmbH. Together with a group of investors, the company applied to add five floors to the listed building with a height of around 20 meters. A hotel, a fitness club, restaurants, an event and sports hall are to be built. The investment also includes planting on the roof. The estimated investment costs of around 30 million euros are to be offset by the commercial uses. After approval by the district office in Mitte, on July 12, 2017, the citizens also approved the building plans and the extension of the long-term lease with the votes of the SPD and the Greens.
The first of five floors to be added was concreted in June 2020. A lawsuit against the increase was dismissed in July 2020.
Increase and greening
In advance of these decisions, there was criticism of the plans presented. At the beginning of June 2017, construction plans were published according to which the often advertised green increase can only be realized in a significantly reduced manner due to fire protection requirements. The Left criticized the agreed conditions that instead of the actual land value of around 1,500 euros per square meter, only a value of just under 980 euros was calculated, plus a discount of 30 percent. In addition, a parking space fee of 744,000 euros was waived.
In May 2019 it became known that tenants in the bunker would suffer disadvantages due to the addition work.
I stamped the image on five different papers. Cut out tiny hats, wings and balloons from various papers. Used pop dots for some tiny pieces and the sentiment. There are three layers of mats. Sewed the gingham pp onto pink cs and added the dew drops for more interest. The yellow green stripes are ribbon. Put Glitter Glue on the balloons and wings and hats. This card seemed gigantic after working with ATC's!!
Rica, the Two-toed sloth in the Tropical House at Marwell decided to put on a little show for us. He went from looking like an extra hairy coconut to lifting his head, making eye contact and waving his paw.

Interesting, panning with a long lens. You need to be careful you don't knock your neighbour out!
400mm, x1.4, so that's about 600mm on an APS sensor. In 35mm speak, that's about 840mm equivalent. And it's still barely long enough!! And not fast enough :-(

Former Strathtay 407 after going for a brief road run in the February sunshine to meet up with sister bus 431, now reunited in preservation in the same ownership. Pictured in the grounds of Dundee Museum of Transport.
Both were new to Midland Scottish, BIG 4269 as MPT112 (BMS 512Y), MUI 808 as MPT127 (A127 ESG) with a Duple body. Its East Lancs rebody dates from 2000.
Two icebergs on the IJsselmeer at Hindeloopen, the Netherlands.
Standing on the dike at Hindeloopen, I saw this scene, which reminded me of the image Rhein II by Andreas Gursky. I decided to give it my own take, playing with lines and planes in the scene. Although it may look like the horizon is not level, it is excactly level.

These two Datejusts were among the many Rolex available at Kwotch, a watch store at the Starling Mall.
The one on the right has a 'Jubilee Dial' (with repetitive 'ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX' pattern engraved on the dial face.) The Jubilee Dials appeared on a number of model around 1985; it marked the 80th Anniversary of Rolex's founding.

Update:
In an effort to condense my work, I created another stream exclusively for architectural shots (meaning, I won´t upload as many architecture shots on this stream any longer). This is the new stream:
These two cars took part in the Lancashire Automobile Club's annual Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1992, and are pictured in the Exchange Station car park in Manchester before the start of the Run. Unlike in the early days of the run in the 1960s when the programme of the Run had detailed notes of most of the cars taking part, by 1992, sadly, the programme just listed the cars and gave the names of the owners. On the left, car number 67 is a 1926 Bugatti T37 entered by Barry H Parkinson of Ribchester, Blackburn. The DVLA record shows that it has a 1,496cc engine, whilst the Bugatti Trust gives us general information about the Type 37, and bugattibuilder.com tells us that it is chassis 37190. On the right, car number 68 is a 1927 Bugatti T40 entered by Ann Morris of Aikton, Wigton, the DVLA shows the engine capacity as 1,496cc, and the Bugatti Trust again gives us general information about the Type 40. The bugattibuilder.com site tells us that it is chassis number 40323.
