Its something you don't see every day, and as you say, nice colour.

Re: Today in pictures
 

So I might get my piece of amber then?

A few years ago Richard and I were at Sidmouth folk festival and sat down on a large tree stump to eat our lunch. We ended up sticking to everything else for the rest of the day and the resin never did wash out of my trousers properly.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Whilst I was in Brighton I stopped at a cafe on the beach. I bought a cheese&bacon toastie and a cappuccino. I was carrying my tray and the biggest bee I have ever seen was hovering over my tray. Me & Bees are not friends. I tried to get away and it was having none of it. I jerked a little and my cappuccino went everywhere. Everbody at the cafe went about their day and the staff didn't speak English; I never got a replacement. I dumped my tray and took my plate onto the beach and sat down.

The pebbles seemed to be grinning at me and my misfortune. Hmm. I placed my plate on the pebbles and with cheese and ham toastie part in hand and part in mouth; I glanced again at the pebbles. They certainly was be grinning at me (check the pic)

A selection from a walk round Stonyhurst, and then along the river -great round trip last April -the last three are a few shots taken in August of the year before.

Re: Today in pictures
 

when I took the photo the resin had the consistency of a half sucked wine gum, and was still being exuded, you couldn't wear it like this, as the flies would stick to it.

Looks like a nice day around the college.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Did you offer them some of the toastie?

Re: Today in pictures
 

The Tolkien walk apparently.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Rob that would be funny if it weren't so tragic... Didn't have you down as a cappuccino sort of guy - perhaps the pebbles didn't either!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Didn't know that, thanks-it's a really good walk -especially on a day like the one we had in April - sunny but not too hot. Stopped for a nice lunch half-way at The Shireburn Arms in Hurst Green too! Tea later in Mitton at the Three Fishes like to visit my favourite old haunts when i'm over and you have to keep your strength up for walking!;)

Re: Today in pictures
 

He used to visit Stonyhurst , and from there he would walk down to the river. Its walk have done for years, but as a walk its got more popular with the Tolkien connection.

As for middle earth, that could be anywhere really, Tolkien travelled a lot. It may only have existed of course in Tolkiens mind.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I do like Tolkein - not always easy reading but an incredibly fertile mind.

Didn't realise the old bridge was called Cromwell's bridge, sat on it once for a picnic with my friend Jacqui when we were walking over to Stonyhurst from Gt Harwood (Edge End) to see our boyfriends!

Nice shots - see that bull is there again.

Also very interesting -never heard of St Ninian -patron saint of....!:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

No he is a different Bull. There are a lot of Cattle farms where we were staying in Dumfries and Galloway. We syaed in a cottage in Girthon and a farm about 200 yards from us up the track has diversified and converted a lot of his farm buildings to holiday lets. We went to have a look last week and they are done tastefully as it is still a working beef farm.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great people up that way -a few years back I spent 4 days as interpreter and guide for a group of 20 farmers from there visiting farms etc over here. Very boisterous lot (all men!) took some handling and they liked a drink...we had a great time and I got paid!

Did you make it to Wigton? I believe it's famous for its bookshops.

No we passed through. The weather wasn't very nice for our week so we walked most days from the cottage.

why is that? I loves mi coffee!! Practically living on a constant caffeine cloud lately :D

Yeah I like cappuccino. Hard to get a nice one though.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Sorry... I'm not a coffee drinker but I know you are esp now that alcohol is a no-no:(

Just don't think of cappuccino as a "real" coffee - it's all the frothy stuff and chocolate sprinkles etc. If I do have coffee it's an espresso the smaller and stronger the better! I like the caffeine high but couldn't cope with it more than once in a blue moon - don't need it just now anyway as the drugs I'm on send me up to the ceiling!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today I'm posting towers from Ravenna in Italy. This city was the second most important city in the Byzantine world in the 5th and 6th centuries and still has many churches from that period, with stunning mosaics. many of the churches acquired bell towers (campaniles) in the 9th to 11th centuries

The ancient churches of Ravenna

1 -3 Basilica of San Giovanni Evangelista
4 & 5 San Apollinare Nuovo. This has some of the best mosaics
6 Base of the tower in 4
7 & 8 Santa Maria Maggiore
9 San Giovanni Battista, with a rather incongruous later Baroque facade

I always thought there was a connection between Tolkien's son and Stonyhurst. I thought he was student there, but it would seem he taught at the college. Stonyhurst also claim that Tolkien himself wrote part of Lord of the rings at the college.

Today in Pictures, nothing much to report today due to weather and other commitments.
1. Past the canal.
2. Quick around the Park.
3. Set off back home.

and thats your lot.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Haha think tomorrow is the last lot of "themes" from my back catalogue - unless you want hundreds of pics of icebergs and sea from our Arctic cruises... watch this space!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I like pictures of icebergs, however they have to be photographed from the underside, or sat astride one.

Re: Today in pictures
 

When I look at these pictures I am so envious!
Wish I could teleport myself to some of these places...with my camera of course. Not that i think I could better these shots of yours...but just so they could be MY shots.
I don't quite know if that makes sense to anyone other than me.
My pictures may be of something exactly the same as yours, but they capture my moment.....my feelings as they were at the time.
OK, mark my card 'oddball'.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Just posted some more on flickr

Re: Today in pictures
 

Well Margaret I had been wanting to go to Ravenna for forty yearss, ever since I saw pictures of the mosaics in a book. I got there in the end and it was well worth the wait!

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm sure it was....just from seeing your pictures.
Maybe one day........eh?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Wsh I could post pictures of the mosaics, but the churches were so dark inside, my pictures are rubbish... I bought postcards instead!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Can you not scan them and pretend you took the pics?

Re: Today in pictures
 

that would infringe the copyright if you posted them on here....and it wouldn't do for me...for the reasons I have stated in a previous post.
I take pictures even if they look a bit dark...you can sometimes retrieve them with a good editing tool.
The digital camera's of today usually have a setting for low light, but sometimes they just don't do what they are supposed to...or at least no to the level the manufacturers tell you they do.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, slip of the tongue -probably the Scottish accent fooled me!:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

I have never been -never been to Venice either -can you believe that:eek::o

My aunt and uncle went to Ravenna last year and she showed me some great photos she'd taken -they loved it and I have a little mosaic dish they bought for me as a souvenir made by a local artist. Modern but lovely all the same.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Di think yourself lucky I didn't have a camera with me when we went to Venice otherwise I'd be boring everyone rigid with my pics! It has to be one of my favourite places ever.

Margaret's twisted my arm so I am going to post some of the mosaic pics - they're not wonderful but I've tweaked them to best advantage on photoscape. I think one of the reasons I didn't get good pics is that the mosaics are high up and there was not much zoom on the camera I was using.

1-5 are in San Apollinare Nuovo. The mosaics run in bands along the top of the walls and are quite easy to see if you crane your neck like Richard is doing.

6-10 are in the basilica of San Vitale. This has a much more complicated architecture - it's octagonal in shape with a dome and is very high as shown on one of the pics. The mosaics are very difficult to get in shot and one of these pics doesn't have mosaics - it's just there to show the architecture with the lovely double headed Byzantine columns like two cushions one on top of the other.

Bear in mind that all this dates from the sixth century.

Re: Today in pictures
 

ooh, they are lovely......made me long even more Sue.
I love this kind of stuff. I am in awe of those skilled men who did this work so long ago...and I often wonder what modern stuff will be left in a few centuries, and will the population of the time, think as I do now??

Any plans to revisit Sue? And can you get me in your suitcase:D?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Very beautiful Sue -and hard to capture. Amazing colours and architecture. Have you tried chopping them a bit to maximise the mosaics?

As to Venice it's one of those places that people either love or hate -no middle ground as far as I can tell from what different people have told me.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Book yourself a cheap flight on Ryanair Margaret and come to stay here in Cremona -I'm always glad to play the tour guide:D

Dianne...wish I could do that......but life is a bit full on at the moment......full of childminding and mummy watching.....I feel like the meat in a Margaret Sandwich.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank you both, glad you liked them, they turned out better than I expected and no I haven't played about with them any more.

No plans to go back Margaret, we very rarely revisit places, there are too many new ones to see... Though I do have a suitcase just about big enough for a body but that only goes on cruises with me. Or you could sit in the shower in our camper van...

Di we went to Venice in March when there was still snow on the ground at the Lido. Not sure I would have been so enamoured in the height of summer but maybe the buildings and atmosphere might even conquer the effect of hordes of tourists. You could almost do a day trip from Garda, just to dip your toe in the water, so to speak...

Re: Today in pictures
 

We have just had four days in a Lodge at Pine lakes.

I took one or two pictures of Morecambe as well, just so Susie wouldn't feel left out.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks Russell, that is the best photo of the Yacht Club I have ever seen - I usually take it from the other side so you don't get that fantastic background. And you were only a few yards from our house!

When you said you were going to Pine Lakes I hadn't connected the name with that place near Carnforth! Hope you and June had a lovely break and she wasn't too exhausted by it.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks for the compliment Susie, the Yacht club photo was taken from the side of the Midland Hotel with a 300mm lens.
Yes June was exhausted but we took our time and she went back to the lodge to sleep for a while in the afternoon. The little mobo scooter makes life easier, the best thing i ever bought her.
Pine lakes is a lovely place, very peaceful and the lodges are much bigger than I expected.

I took loads of photos all around the area. The trouble is that I have to downsize the photos and it takes time so I only do a few for the forum. I suppose I should set the resolution a bit lower. Apart from that I never do any manipulating of my photos, they are straight from the card.

My last two for todays quota.
The Lodge and the night view.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Re: Today in pictures

Nice and simple, nothing to detract you from the subject.

Agreed Gremlin! Karma due to you both -have already been to generous in the last 24 hrs.

Love you silouhette of the bench and the lights reflecting in the water.:)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Dianne you suggested I play around with the mosaic shots and having done so only one came out well - the others are either too blurred or shot at funny angles to make good closeups. Here it is together with a few more tower shots.

1 The mosaic closeup -Three wise men and the star (note their names are picked out above), 6th century in San Apollinare Nuovo. Thought this might make a good Christmas card... Love their fancy leggings - and they are wearing Phrygian caps, symbol of freedom and liberty, adopted also during the French Revolution
2 - 4 Torre Civico (town tower in Ravenna) still standing - just.
This visibly leaning tower is the sole survivor of many mediaeval towers that once dotted the city of Ravenna. It was built in the 12th century, when prominent families raced to build such towers to assert their power and dominance all over central Italy. The towers of Ravenna were deliberately destroyed in the 13th century when the city came under papal rule, as a way to exert control over the city. Only la Torre Civica was spared because it had been taken over by the local government of Ravenna. The tower rises 39 metres and is reinforced with steel in order to prevent it from collapsing.
Fun Things To Do in Ravenna - Attractions & Must See - VirtualTourist
5 San Marino, Palazzo Pubblico -town hall and government building
6 Tower of 5, seen above the rooftops
7 Urbino, Ducal Palace
8 Close up of above
9 Torre del Mangia, Siena at dusk. The name, (meaning "Tower of the Eater") derives from its first guardian, Giovanni di Balduccio, nicknamed Mangiaguadagni for his tendency to spend all his money on food. Built in 1338-1348, it is located in the Piazza del Campo, adjacent to the Palazzo Pubblica. When built it was one of the tallest secular towers in medieval Italy. At 88 m, it is now second only to Cremona's Torrazzo - Dianne, over to you!
10 San Gimignano - the medieval Manhattan - this is where most tourists go to see towers but we couldn't get closer than 2km in our motorhome, even to park so we didn't bother. Same in Assisi, but other paces such as Loreto (pilgrimage centre), Pienza (Renaissance gem) and San Marino, were positively welcoming. Could do a whole post of pics of our van parked in various Italian towns!

Re: Today in pictures

3. What was once 5 arches, there is a large amount of water today.
4. I just cant stop myself, I used to go to school with her.
5. Shoe mill on a wet day.
6. Another look across the clough on the way back down.
7.This is what's called an Oak Apple, its actualy the Gall wasp injecting the Oak bud with an egg, and the tree forms this gall as protection.
8. Bath night again.
9. I know, another one, this time I'm up a tree, and one of my "fall over" points.
10.Almost out of the clough, this is behind the area that was once Highams bleach works.

Getting it made wouldn't be a problem but there are other issues - finance, distribution, numbers, subject - Accy, wildlife, people & places...???

Some things to mull over, probably a bit late for this year (I mean 2013) but could be thought about for next.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I do tend to look at all the pictures posted in detail.

The number of widgets on that picture is impressive, it must have taken ages to put in and light all the candles, also all the stairs to climb as well

2 Campanile (bell tower) of the Duomo (cathedral), Florence. Completed 1359, decorated with polychrome marble panels
3 You can go up the campanile but we went up the dome of the Duomo next door, which is slightly higher. This is the view from up there
4-6 Don't need to tell you where this is!

[QUOTE=davemac;1017335]Well Dave I have studied the original photo and enlarged it but I cannot see the face without body behind the patio doors.

Can you crop it and just show the piece you mean?

Could it be the ghost of one of the workmen who died when the place was a gravel pit. Certainly not, ghosts don't exist in my mind.

[QUOTE=Gremlin;1017542]does he mean the top left quarter, its like a giant bust, dont think on same scale, or have i got it wrong

Well I still can't make it out, must be his vivid imagination.
There is an ornament on a shelf half way up close to the left side edge. Could it be the reflection of a seagull of bird? I give up.

I am hoping to go there again soon so I will have a real good look around.

You are welcome to one of my allocation, take two if you want.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Look at the first picture you posted in post 2451. There is a lamp post with a few rocks behind it on the edge of the path, then the lake. Now look at the close up pic I posted. You can see the reflection of the bottom of the lamp post, then next to it is a round shape on the right. That is one of the rocks which Dave is interpreting as the top of a head, and below it on the grass is a vaguer round shape makig up the bottom of the head. The "eyes" are a whitish splodge on the bottom LH of the rock where it meets the grass.

Gosh I must have a lot of time on my hands to work all this out! At least there's no ghost (not that I believe in them...)

Re: Today in pictures
 

Right, I will believe you all, it must be the Stella Artois which is affecting my eye sight tonight.

Let's see if you can find anything unusual in the next batch of photos I took last week.

The first four or my kind of photos, mechanical muck.
Next a picture taken at Grange over Sands (more like grass) taken from a distance.
then another shot from the Lodge, a nosy and noisy duck thing which kept tapping on the patio doors, once my wife fed it it brought all it's mates.
Finally the last bit of sunset, I will leave it at eight cos I allowed Susie to have two of mine.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I know I am harping on about the face, but I dont think you are seeing the same face that I am seeing, the eyes are actualy blue and the right eye (as you look at it) is just below the left hand corner of the table top seen in the patio window. The rock and grass dont form part of the picture I can see, if you look at it again you have to tell me if I should go into my darkened room for a while.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Russell you could have had another one, I didn't post any more! We were at Grange the other week, it's a shame how the beach has all trned to grss because the river changed its channel, but it's a nice photo of the Promenade.

Think your "nosy and noisy duck thing" is a Canada Goose, sounds like typical behaviour for that species, pity Kestrel's not here to put us straight!

Re: Today in pictures
 

look at the red dots 7 oclock is the top of another one

Re: Today in pictures
 

Well think I have cracked it this time... Look again at pic 1 in post 2451. The two blue eyes are reflections in a puddle in the path, surrounded by a round shape which is the shadow of the top of the lamp post, if you look there is a stalk coming out of the bottom of the round shape which leads back to the bottom of the lamp post, with a bend in it where it hits the flagstone round the base of the lamp post.

And I thought I had better things to do tonight!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yeah says we shouldn't be let loose on Accyweb! We'll be seeing Jesus in pieces of toast next!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yeah I love that picture - don't think there any candle widgets on that tower though! Took a lot of puff to get me up that dome but it was worth it - I could do two days worth of posts of the views from up there... maybe one day when I run out of pics...

Your shots today - I love the raindrops - and the furry fungus - and I took lots of shots of ivy flowers on the canal in Lancaster yesterday!

You are right there are three faces superimposed over each other, could we have found the ghosts of the Beverly Sisters?

Re: Today in pictures
 

What red dots? You mean the drawer handles?

Re: Today in pictures
 

I did check for widgets, but today you posted widget free. You made the right choice of towers to ascend, the tower in view is impressive as its a downward view, not often seen that way.
You must have an impressive back catalogue, something I don't have, when shooting with film it was to expensive to play with shots, so tended to take more family snaps, and I gave most of those away as well.
Now though, I have turned into a photo monster, and a bit weird, although I might have been weird before, but now I have a reason.
