I just love this funny Frog outdoor thermometer. It's kind of a fun one. It is almost the Blue Hour here as the sunset is about to end.
Happy Halloween! I would think twice about letting this lost girl in. The image is composed of five photos. The moon came from Nasa and the window frame from Pureping. This is my first attempt at this kind of processing. The work was completed in October 2021, with my trusty Olympus Digital camera and photoshop. Enjoy and stay well.
It really was my birthday on 1st April..
Imagine the slagging I got as a nipper!
My therapist, funnily enough, is always asking me the same question ;-)
Good wishes and photo FAVES greatly appreciated....hehehehe.......
(Just because I'd like to get Explored on my birthday ;-))
I have been looking at this tiny clump of moss on the garage roof adjoining our bathroom, and wondering whether it would look good photographed, usually while brushing my teeth!
The window only opens a few inches as it hits the guttering, so I had to shoot through double glazing. This needed a quick clean both sides (outside achieved by squeezing my arm through the few inches of gap) and I used my 12mm extension tube on my 100-400 lens. In fact I could have saved myself a lot of effort and used my macro lens, but I was already setting up. The extension tube reduced the minimum focussing distance from the 1.8metres to something much shorter.
Depth of field was an issue, so four hand-held (well, resting on the windowframe) frames focus-stacked in PS.

St. Margaret’s Hope
Looking out across Water Sound towards the Orkney Islands of Burray, Hunda and Mainland Orkney in the distance. This view is from one of the windows of the holiday cottage we are staying in on The Ruff at St. Margaret’s Hope. Other windows look out onto the lawn and rocky beach which about this time of day is teeming with rabbits, oyster catchers and other sea birds. Shortly before this shot was taken two seals were swimming around just off the shore.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

View of the Cathedral Group from inside the Chapel of the Transfiguration. It was our first visit there and well worth the time. Hope you enjoy the view as much as we did :-)
Have a great evening, and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!

There are may areas in Lisbon where you can find old or abandoned buildings. Probably it's the same in almost every city, but perhaps it's a bit easier to find one in here. To me those areas talk less about decadence than about being memories of a time gone. When I think about the London of my first trips in the Eighties and the city I live in now, what I miss is exactly those areas where you could get a grasp of what things looked like in previous times. It's not about that everything is wrong with the continuous renovation and regeneration of dismissed buildings and areas. You can't stop progress, and you can't stop the flow of money behind more and more skyscrapers you see now in London. It's more about the feeling that part of the past is in some way being erased, no stone witnesses left of the past, except for famous sites still well maintained and kept untouched.
Lisbon lost some of his old areas with a huge fire in the Eighties, a time I knew almost nothing about this city. To be able to still find something probably not that ancient but still marking the difference with the modernity that inevitably changes every city is for me something precious, some kind of present from the past, even a quite recent past, which I cannot but cherish.
Got a bit of a fetish at the mo with windows !!!
WindowCleanerisation perhaps ? ;-)))))) (this is not a real word !! well it is in my little world )
Addington St, Manchester
What if a face suddenly appeared at the window what's the best tactic ?
Always carry a shammy leather ;-))))

it never occurred to me when i took the photo, but buddha's ghost thinks this might be a hangout for freemasons (see comments in previous post). i suppose it's possible, but it seems like a poor sister for their usual meeting halls.
Historical Como House in Melbourne’s leafy inner eastern suburb of South Yarra was constructed in 1847 and owned by Sir Edward Eyre Williams, a supreme court justice, until 1852 when it was sold to investor Frederick Dalgety. After only a year, it was sold to John Brown - a wealthy master builder and wine and spirit merchant - who took possession in 1853 and commenced a program of works to transform the property including adding a second storey to the house. This meant the addition of several bedrooms for his children, including his daughter, Susan. During their short tenure of a decade at Como, Susan was given a diamond ring. Legend has it that with this ring she discovered the truth that diamonds can cut glass as she etched her name with it into one of the twelve panes of glass of her bedroom window. One of her brothers discovered her vain vandalism, and not to be outdone, added “is a fool” to the window after Susan’s name using the same ring, in an effort to shame her. History does not record whether he succeeded in this endeavour, but thanks to Susan’s and her brother’s vandalism, they have left an indelible mark on this historical house’s story.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 18th of November is “words on glass”. I must confess that I wracked my brain for this theme. I have plenty of stickers on antique bottles of perfume, but I was hard pressed to think as to whether I have any words etched, printed or embossed into glass. I thought I might upload one of the signs made of stained glass I have, and then whilst I was going through my archive, I suddenly remembered a recent visit I took with two close photography friends to Como House, a National Trust property in Melbourne, and I recalled the funny story of Susan and her brother told to us by our lively and well-informed guide. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
In December 1855 William Sangster was appointed by John Brown as head gardener and overseer at Como. At that time the fifty-three acre site comprised partly cleared land, a rocky hill and a swamp adjoining the river. The site was bounded to the north by Gardener’s Creek Road (now Toorak Road) down to the Yarra River and extended west from Williams Road to the vicinity of Kensington Road. William Sangster designed and laid out the five-acre formal pleasure gardens section of the grounds with exotic trees to create an ideal “picturesque garden” with borrowed views across the river. The design featured an impressive carriage drive from the main road. Large areas were set aside for the growing of almond trees, vegetables and fruit. In 1864 Brown's insolvency forced a mortgage to the Bank of Australasia. When John Brown’s bank sold to the Armytages in 1864 William Sangster remained until mid-1866. Charles Armytage purchased the property for £14,000.00 in 1864. The family stayed at Como for the next 95 years, eventually selling the property to the newly formed National Trust of Australia in 1959. Today it is a historical house open for all people to enjoy, and is a remarkable time capsule of life in the Marvellous Melbourne of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries. The grounds are also a popular place for weddings, with the stables complex of Como now hosting a very good gourmet café. The complex also features a National Trust shop and National Trust bookshop.

adds its shadow in the window's late day light
the upper panes are very old glass and the patterns are only visually obvious at certain angles and light, like here in the glow of the golden hour sunset
