I came across this shot purely by chance. I was heading across the city to take part in one of the famous ghost walks and I was in a bit of a rush. It had just been raining as you can see and I (rather fortunately) decided to take the scenic route down the famous Shambles - one of the oldest and most picturesque streets in York, dating back around 900 years.
I had to press the camera up against the building on the left to combat the slow shutter speed and I'm really pleased with the resultant colours.
Definitely one to see on black - press 'L'
So much of New Zealand's native forests found themselves made into houses, doors, windowframes and fences from early settlement until introduced woods were available as alternatives. This wooden fence - a line of native trees - is in Horopito. The old card bodies visible through it are part of "Smash Palace", a huge car wreckers with everything from vintage to modern car bodies in various states of disrepair.

(Spirits crates because St. Pierre and Miquelon were instrumental in smuggling European and Canadian booze to America during American Prohibition. They still have lots of old crates around...)

Beginning of a project involving the reflections of windows in portraits of people, mainly females. I hope this will be my exhibition piece for this year at Staffordshire University.

This is an old photo, touched up a little, it is of myself some years ago. I use to go looking for Native American artifacts along rivers, creeks, and streams. Came across this old partial stone dwelling and just happened to have my camera along, my friend snapped this photo ! I've this strange feeling sometimes I've passed this way before around old stone dwellings !

Zagreb is a vibrant city of around a million people. The city boasts a charming medieval 'old city' with architecture and cobbled streets reminiscent of Vienna, Budapest, Prague and other Central-European capitals, though mixed with a strong Italian influence.
I've posted below a few photos of other interesting sights in Zagreb.
Enjoy your day and thanks as always for visiting.
Constructed in 1895, in the prominent position next to the Ballarat post office, the Summerscales Building was built for the Ballarat bookseller H. J. Summerscales after receiving a lease on the land next to the post office, the building incorporated parts of the former Mining Board Room.
After six years of successful trading, Mr. Summerscales extended his building in 1901. The new façade blended new architectural details with old, creating a stylish extension to the corner of Camp Street. The 1901 extension continued the theme of red brick construction, and included some beautiful Art Nouveau stained glass windows in the ground floor shop fronts, which would have been very fashionable at the time. The shops leased in the 1901 extension helped to support the Ballarat Library next door in Camp Street.
My neighbours from across the street, the Nelson's are always busy doing something to their home. I caught Mr. Nelson working on a window frame. I think candid shots are the best.
Built on the high side of a road, this Victorian weatherboard villa constructed in the late 1890s may be found in the South Gippsland town of Leongatha.
The villa stands proudly amid a beautiful cottage garden, and is surrounded by a white picket fence. Double fronted and sprawling, it has obviously been extended in the ensuing years since it was bult. It features a wonderful bull nosed verandah around three sides of the original residence. The verandah has some very pretty and dainty cast iron lacework and a corrugated iron awning, which matches the roof of the villa. This villa also features some beautiful stained glass widnows featuring diamond patterns in red, blue and yellow.
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.
When I heard that our daily challenge was 'framed', I walked round the corner from my work during my lunch break to take these interesting window frames on an old building and to my sheer delight, the sun was casting this fantastic shadow of a tree on the side of the building which I suppose you can say is framed by the building.

Taken in downtown Seattle after Hempfest '09. Brendan and I were walking around doing some random shooting on foot.
On the way to our destination, taking the shot somehow turned into a dare, which resulted in this photo.
I can't find a lime green car anywhere, but there's certainly no shortage of peeling paint! This is on the side of a former upscale furniture store that has gone out of business.

Near Renfrew in Ontario, Canada, there is a ghost town named Balaclava. It use to be a saw-mill town. We decided to visit the place and take a few shots. I got myself shooting mostly windows and old wood and paint textures.
Unfortunately, one of the buildings has a sign on it saying that a permit was requested to destroy the general store building to transform it into a commercial lot.
Most of the shots got re-worked with Topaz Adjust 3 to enhance the colors and contrast.
Enjoy,
KMZ Iskra 2.
Russian rangefinder folder 1961~1964
So another screw which fixed the Topcover had to be found.
Major candidates were this screw (red arrow) and the viewfinder windowframe.
From my experience with the Iskra 1 i knew that the windowframe was not removable. Sadly the hamfisted person who tried to get inside before me didn't know and marred the metal trying to remove it with brute force :-(
Another plausible candidate was the screw underneath the viewfinder window. Alas, after 1 turn ccw with the screwdriver it fell out and it turned out to be glued instead of screwed (see red arrows).
This screw is a real mystery to me. At this place inside the camera there is nothing with a thread. I saw a picture from another Iskra 2 which also had this screw. Cannot imagine that it's for decoration. Any information is welcome !

The former Mining Exchange, 6 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat, is one of the few mining exchanges extant in Australia and is illustrative of a fundamental part of Ballarat's early history. The splendid two storey Victorian building of classical proportions and design was built between 1887 and 1889 to replace an earlier building on the site. Designed by architect Charles Douglas Figgis, who also designed the Ballarat Presbyterian church, it is lined with forty offices, which were once bustling with mining agents, and share brokers. It also housed shops along the ground floor, including Bickart’s Coffee Shop, whose elegantly painted windows with gilt lettering and bobbled curtain swags can still be seen today. There is also a large single storey exchange hall at the rear.
The interior of the Ballarat Mining Exchange is divided into small booths flanking a large hall. A bow fronted cast iron balcony projects above the Lydiard Street entrance. There is a also a secondary, less grand entrance at the opposite end which leads to Camp Street. On the two longitudinal sides of the central hall are arcaded brokers' booths surmountd by arched clerestory windows at the first floor level. Some of the original names and details of the mining brokers may still be seen above the booths today.
When it opened, the Mining Exchange had ninety-eight registered members. However, as gold mining declined as the gold rush turned to bust, the elaborate Mining Exchange found a new life as a garage (the sign for Mobil Oils is still visible on the interior back wall) and was known as the Exchange Garage. Later it became a bus depot. During the Second World War (1939 - 1945), American soliders were billited in the mining exchange. Today is a craft market.
I guess this is a 'you've seen it or you haven't' one, but then my last four all went in a flash....
i pressed a cardboard plate in the windowframe, to prevent light coming out of the bathroom in the early morning with this sunny weather.
On the corner of busy Williams Road and quiet Rathmines Street in the exclusive Melbourne suburb of Toorak stand the "Park Manor" flat complex.
These wonderful Streamline Moderne brown brick flats with rounded porches and balconies, horizontally styled balustrades and Functionalist windowframes achieve the refreshingly sleek style that was popular worldwide in the mid to late 1930s. Unlike many Art Deco buildings which focussed on a vertical emphasis, Streamline Moderne buildings often featured horizontal emphasis. "Park Manor" does this through the horizontal windows along the wide expanses of bricks and the porches and balconies that extend from the centralised trapezoid tower.
As when they were built, these spacious flats are for the well-heeled citizens of Melbourne, and they are exceptionally well maintained.
Took this one while walking Holly's dog this morning. This wasn't a set up one at all, more of a pot luck shot. It's a strange little wooded bit here, it goes down to a little lake at the bottom. But right behind the camera is a massive open field. Weird.
There isn't a set up shot for this really, I just took a picture on a walk.....my bad.
Follow me on Twitter, I'll post set up shots onto there everyday
I slacked around for a bit and then i almost forgot to get a picture in by Saturday. Whoops.
I put my camera on a tripod on the fire escape and got a shot of us near my oxalis. It was a major PITA and this was the best shot of Marco I got. Its pretty low light outside right now and Marco kept moving and turning into blurry spots in the shots. I'm not crazy about how i look but he's the star right? I must say, he put on a very pretty face in this one! I also have no clue what actually caught his attention because he wouldn't focus on anything i did.
I cropped the shot a bit, made it a yellow/red variation and played with the contrast and brightness.
Tata was the town of water mills in the Turks time as well. It had more than 20 mills. The oldest one is the so called Cifra Mill, this is the oldest monument of Tata. It already stood in 1587. The 16th-century Cifra Mill, east of the castle, is interesting only for its red marble window frames and five, rapidly deteriorating, water wheels visible from the north side.
