This is the story of two blades, spears crafted by the hand of the Emperor Himself in the days long before the birth of the Imperium. Linked, equal but opposite, these blades are destined to be wielded by two of the greatest heroes of the Age of Darkness. And as the spears themselves, Appolonian and Dionysian, are equal and opposite, so too are those to whom they were gifted. This is their story too. The warrior-scholar, a savant and a servant. The warrior-king, a savage and a soldier. Their fates entwined in ways they do not understand, they carry the blades as both gift and curse, fulfilment of destiny unseen by any save the Master of Mankind.

NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE
My space ... amusing myself after an afternoon of jury duty sitting on a hard bench waiting and waiting to not be selected.
Two people and two seagulls, silhouetted at sunset at Frankston on Christmas day. This is cropped very slightly; otherwise straight out of E-M5.

"How about in two days time?"
"Oh. Ok" - Yikes!!

Temples of Talakad, Karnataka, India
The Group of temples at Talakad, located about 45 km south-east of the culturally important city of Mysore in the Karnataka state of India are ancient Hindu temples built by multiple South Indian dynasties. Archaeological excavations of the sand dunes at Talakad (or Talakadu) have shown the existence of several ruined temples built during the rule of the Western Ganga dynasty (c.345-999). However, according to historian I. K. Sarma, only two temples, the Pataleshvara (also spelt Patalesvara) and Maraleshvara (also spelt Maralesvara), built during the reign of King Rachamalla Satyavakya IV (r.975-986) are intact. According to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Vaidyeshvara temple (also spelt Vaidyesvara), the largest, the most intact and ornate of the group bears Ganga-Chola-Hoysala architectural features. Its consecration is assignable to the 10th century with improvements made up to the 14th century. According to the art historian Adam Hardy, the Kirtinarayana temple (also spelt Keertinarayana) was built in 1117 A.D. by the famous Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his victory over the Cholas in the battle of Talakad. It has currently been dismantled by the ASI for renovation. Only its mahadwara ("grand entrance") is intact. The Sand dunes of Talakad are protected by the Karnataka state division of the ASI. The Vaidyeshvara and Kirtinarayana temples are protected as monuments of national importance by the central Archaeological Survey of India.
Bud Granley and Ross Granley, a father and son duo, fly their aircraft, a Yakovlev Yak-55 (smaller red aircraft), and a Yakovlev Yak-18T (larger white and red aircraft) respectively, in the Canadian Arctic Aviation Tour over Whitehorse Yukon. These two Russian built planes are very strong and very aerobatic. The Granleys put them through some incredible manoeuvres, flying both in and out of formation.

They both did great jobs at showing the extreme opposites of the fairy spectrum.
IMHO, my money would be on the pink/purple fairy. They can be vicious. ;-)
In a city that prides itself on stunning coffee, this convenience store coffee is almost a sin to drink.

These are two buses I drew from memory. The one above is a Thomas bus, fitted with parts from a Leyland National bus. The one below is an old police bus, which is now a private excursion bus.

This is a vocal effect microphone that I did by commission for my friend DJ Drty Tech.
The enclosure is an old two-way radio (hence the name).
It includes a pitch transposer, echo/delay, and "robot" (a pseudo ring-modulator).

Two-tailed Pasha (Charaxes jasius), in Greece.
There is 1 place left on the forthcoming tour of Rhodes, Greece. See link for details or contact me...
www.greenwings.co/page/greek-island-odyssey--rhodes--gree...
The island of Rhodes is blessed with more days of sunshine (300 or more) than almost anywhere else in Europe, so its name ‘The Isle of the sun’ is well justified.
The tour will encompass the diverse flora and fauna, culture, cuisine and history of Rhodes. We will stay right in the heart of the medieval old town (a World Heritage Site), in a charming and traditional Greek family hotel.
From our base we will venture out in a comfortable mini-bus to explore the island. There will be chances to see and photograph lots of flora and fauna, including Lesser Fiery Copper, Bee-eater, Golden Oriole, Scarce and European Swallowtail, Oertzen’s Rock Lizard, Rhode’s Dragon, Aegean Meadow Brown, Long-tailed Blue, Large Wall Brown, Dragon Arum, King Ferdinand’s Orchid, the rare and beautiful endemic Rhodes Peony and Fritillary and much more!
The adventure will start on Thursday 26th April and journey’s end will be reached on Thursday 3rd May.
10% of profits will be donated to Butterfly Conservation.
