Free as a Bird Friday the Perlucidus Gable End!

LR-18214 - Nearly symmetrical on the gable end oh well must try harder. Another shot from St Peter's in Havenstreet, I liked the stone work and the cloud patterns sort of matching and was attempting to something clever with the composition (didn't quite work) so here's the rough cut.

Happy Easter to everyone and hope you have a quality weekend, what ever you are doing. If it's not Easter in your domain then HaPpY Free as a Bird Friday.
Budded Cross; origin a Celtic Druidry, where the circles or rings represent the three dominions of earth, sky and sea, could not quite get the sea in the shot, but hey the blue covers that off

Flakey Louvre

LR-18357 - Been looking for some flakey paint and came across this whilst out and about in town. Loved the way the light bounced around it, colour distracted the view from the detail I was after.

The Betty Conspiracy aka Big Betty is Watching you

LR-18358 - Conspiracy driven by seeing David Ike about 10 minutes before and based on the of interconnectiveness of things. I saw this as a clever disguise for a listening device, have spotted a few around and believe it to be used to supplement the CCTV used in the UK with some councils having one camera for ever sixty people who live in the area.

So Betty Boop a famous sex symbol animated cartoon character created by Max Fleischer, with help from animators including Grim Natwick. Her first appearance on August 9, 1930 and is classed as a symbol of the Depression era take note how depressed it was! Sadly The Production Code of 1934 imposed guidelines on the Motion Picture Industry can into effect on July 1. Forcing the artist to remove gold, jewellery and other sexual innuendos references in the drawings. Betty became a husbandless housewife or a career girl, who wore a fuller dress or skirt. Extracted from Wiki page.

But the good news is the song Minnie the Moocher was used when she ran away with her boyfriend Bimbo, have a listen to the better known version from the Blues Brothers or the original Cab Calloway origianl.

Whoops forgot the other reason for some Yellow

Experiment in Painting - Crazy Marco Pano - from PS

LR_8_15275_8_15276_8_1527_8_15278_2-2PS4 - Crazy Macro Panorama painted, four core images with a further 10 used to enhance (well I thought) bits without focus. After hand stitching all the parts the balance (38% approx) was hand painted. Two versions one out of CS6 Photoshop (this one) and one Aged in Lightroom 4.3.


Say what you like, dislike, rubbish, good concept not executed well etc be nice to have some real feedback as it is a bit of an experiment. The lighter patch on the right is another Snowdrop in the back ground
