That might be giving it ears and her graces. ;-)

Quite! :-)
Don't see those inky blacks so much these days. Or the more subtle whites. Digital highlights burn out so easily.

ETA this could be The Night of The Cart?

Thanks. Somehow managed to scan from the 120 negs, without actually having an attachment for it. This another ghost shot of The Strand.

Ghostly! Great shot.

Not quite but I will always support my friends and their choice of living and both these guys exhibit off their own right. As for inorganics , that's what I do all the time. :)

It took me 6 months of putting all savings aside to get t'other his b'day present. Wasn't easy but you manage when the time is right. I wanted one for years .
I heard…

His space stuff is great fun.

I met Andy by the way. Amazing collection. Would love to have one. Will start saving...

It's his few moments of puzzlement that are so killing.
I have nightmares all the time about lining up an amazing shot and my camera not working! :-(

This little guy seemed a bit uncomfortable in the cold light of day.

Balloons and cumulus, nice. :-)

Yeah, the moon's so bright! ;-)

1) Boom! (The did actually let this off without warning, and everyone jumped).
2) Balloon farm.
3) Cation Horses.

Ahem, that wasn't the version I meant to post. Did it in a hurry. Even lighter now. ;-)

Turn up the blue and we'll pretend it was night-time? ;-)

Excellent shots eveyone.

Hmm, where should I put my Silo Park 1st year celebrations shots? Not enough for a new post, and we do seem to have ‘covered the waterfront’ rather well on here.

This’ll have do for now. ;-)

We noticed that at Morningside. Heading this way soon... :)

… (sort of) on the subject of lights and electricity, here’s some of the new infrastructure required for rail electrification that is starting to appear alongside the Western line … photographed at night of course, to make it look more sci-fi.

Why yes it is Jackson. We already have one of his pieces and he delights everytime I see him. Ours is a robot. His space stuff is great fun.

Watch out for daleks! They'd be perfectly camouflaged.

Is that next to Atomic? I drove past during the day. Amazing stuff. Will have to return.

Far out!!

Oh classy! :-)

That's one of my fave bits of motorway Sofie.

Suddenly – a bevy of luminous boy racers....

Is in our house.
As is 5pm in this case.....

If it's dark, it's night in my book. Nice picture – quiet and eerie.

This is the harbour bridge last night, oily slick and super reflective bouncing garish colours around in watery streaks.

And where else but on PAS?
Thanks also for the rose…
And, that was…

Little Wellington, in case you haven't seen this

Worth clicking through to Youtube to see it high rez and fullscreen.

Thanks Nora. Nice rose, too. :-)

and then the entire disc of Hirirni & Richard playing takiaue ( especially an extempore one made here)

and then we just cry to sleep-

(not a bad thing provided the bed doesnt get wet.)

and almost of all the stuff that verystrange fraught composer played & wrote...Pine Apple rag going at the moment....

Yes, it's all fun and games.

I had a problem once when my appendix was removed. I told the Doc at my hospital bedside that I was feeling fine and needed to go back to school. I leapt out of the bed to prove my ability.....
Say…

Indeedy!
Been in hospital once, with a suspected appendicitis attack.
Released myself next morning (because it was 31 Aug afterall!) & hitched back to big O.

But o dear goodness! When one of…

Oh dear. Glad he's OK!! And you, of course. I think the "view from the foot of the bed" is often more traumatising than being in it.

Now that's a challenge!

I’m sure there will be beauty growing out of the rubble, just takes time. But in the meantime this sort of beauty is always around….

Probably shouldn't tell these stories, but that reminds me of a certain time when I was having the latest round of stitches checked and the doctor said;

"Hop off the bed would you. It seems…

Those clicks are so addictive...just one more.
Boy was lucky: hit his thumb with an axe while chopping wood. Miraculously still has the thumb, and no bones broken. Painful and spectacularly gory, but he's more concerned about not being…

Love Jackson's and Nora's projections. I need a city arty visit somewhere soon. Rubble is losing its fascination; I want beauty.

Please do put up those photos Lilith. I have driven past almost every day, wanting to stop and touch the bulls and not making the time to do so. Yesterday…

came out well Jackson

here's the viaduct bridge on the foggy nite.

I moved the tripod to get it out of this shot. Another angle on the wind sculpture, covered here in an earlier post.

OK, I’m still sorting them, might flick you an email and see what you think. Implosion’s on the 5th.…

Definitely she said without waiting for Jackson. One should always resuscitate immediately. The window of opportunity becomes less with every passing moment….

oh ok no waiting . JP is in the house...

but imagine the impact on those St Mary's Bay property values that scored them a see-thru wall in the first place. Other Ak citizens get concrete.

On the Two Tales thread is fine, or if you think they warrant a full post, email me. Gudrun may have some more to add also. When was that implosion again?

So, yesterday I went to see the Michael Parekowhai bulls. Today's the last chance to see them here in Chch, so if you haven't already, rush down to the corner of Madras and Tuam. And the carved Steinway…

Oh Jack, Anorak Insufficiency!! This is a terrible thing.

Wonderful shots here folks. And the silo projections are great.

Here are legs on North Wharf (no relations).

Well not really. ;)

Stunning. So is the bridge shot. Serenity.

1) The ‘kick the tripod’ shot.
2) The ‘that looked good’ 2nd shot.

must get down there in the early morning some time.

Can't separate the micro and the macro patterns – reminds me of the fabulous Romanesco Brocolli which not only looks great but tastes delicious too.

Thanks goodness.

Love the two perspectives. They go well together.

Glad you said that.... I wasn't going to say.... Kenny.

I'm just auditioning for my South Park appearance.

I have a suspicion it won't end well.

As to the energy recoverable from the sound waves being reflected up, you'd do better to harness the much greater energy being expended by the pressure of the vehicles going over the surface and some engineers in the UK are doing that with pedestrian power already.

That's pretty wild! I'll leave Jackson to comment on his own Anorak.... : )

The two J's would both have to say yes before I could splash that around : )

Sadly, I have yet to see a picture of this Anorak Man. Wild Things, pish. ;-)

It's a jungle out there....

In the neighbourhood: photo above is of the Ponsonby Post Office.

Dude, that’s primo!

At first, it felt like my ears were blocked. It is eerie.

Nice! I’d pop down on my bike for a daytime recce, but I appear to still be tired from my birthday party

On yer bike! It's…

Nice – gives it a little Peter Greenaway edge?

One more I would like to add – more fake trees and the over-bridgy thing – I think Jackson had a picture of this structure too.

Actually, everything looks sort of fake in that strange light.

Is that a panic attack that is only soothed by tim-tams?

With these ear drums and these ear trumpets, I'm having a tympanic attack!

Yup, I did – and here's another one... I'll have to go back and have another look – sounds like it could be complete now – I did quite like the use…

(if it's not I'm outer ear...)

I was wondering that, too, though not as eloquently ;-)

Could sound vibrations move tiny electrical generators? Or are we building castles in the ear?

...and you'd think there'd be some way to extract energy (even small amounts) from the squelching of sound, it is after all a wave...

...I mean, it can trigger enough electrical current to…

Thanks Craig. Of course Jonathan and Sophie need a special mention here, especially as they discovered the location for this. In fact, I gather they have been issued a…

Whichever, it was eerily effective. A distant hum thrum, which just happened to be two metres away.

Depends which side your on. The ones around Beijing seem to work by bouncing the noise back at the road, making them definitely "noise walls" on that side. It would be cool (because I woke up far too early and am still…

I think that was Nora. Although I couldn't tell you which thread that was.

Jackson, your trees look totally fake ;-) And I love the crosshatching on the path in the first one, and how it marks the transition between one reality and another. Very Miéville. ;-)

Johnathan, your wall pictures have a strikingly abstract, urban aesthetic. Fascinating how you three…
