I like it, very moody.  I'm glad you mentioned those were ships tho because I couldn't tell either.

Lovely colours and textures.

It was seriously wet yesterday.



I like how you've made that tree stand out by using the contrasting orange and green colours. It's also a good example of the rule of thirds, or something close to it! I guess it was all by design.

Prototype mobile, about 900mm wide, I made over the weekend from elliptical aluminium composite material off-cuts. These are scraps left over after cutting elliptical holes in large sheets on a milling machine; the sheets are being used in a large building project. Each oval shape is 3mm thick and 94mm x 234mm. There are a few hundred of these profiles that would normally be sent for recycling, but we thought it would be interesting to try and use them in creative ways.

I still have some technical problems to sort out. In the next step better quality rods will be used, instead of the horrible 2.5mm steel wire. Drilling the holes into the sides was a challenge, but I made a jig to hold each piece in a drill press.

It was actually.

These remind me of this.

She is marvellous. It is nice to make connections, literally and figuratively.

Ye, very graceful.
Na, that's just rustic Ker Plunk, for those who can't afford a proper set.
All those worried faces were annoying as well, I don't put up with that crap when I play Ker Plunk.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Wow! I really like this one. It's almost like being there. :tellmemore:

Wait. I have a better compliment for you:
"I really, really like this one very, very, very much. It's the most beautiful, the most amazing photo in the history of picture taking in the whole wide word --It's TRUE!!!."

Thanks Mags, Thanks Orange.

Oh now I look at that picture again I don't trust it, I don't like it, it's all wibbly wobbly.
It's the badest picture ever, look at this picture I took it is the best ever.  It's so much better than yours but don't feel bad, I'm a much better camera pointer and little button pusher than you.  You should feel like rubbish because you are rubbish.


Take my advice, don't listen to me.

For Pinkey.  :'(



Greeny still lives, he lived under the six foot wide wrap around timber verandah, the house is a pyre.  I've got a pull the cord life jacket I bought recently 'cause a store sent me a $20 credit, it's safe in cupboard in the house.
All my paddles and paraphernalia are gone.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

It's been a very orange day, it got much darker, it was like late dusk for about seven hours, creepy.
