My Country by Globalphotos

My Country The love of field and coppice, / Of green and shaded lanes. / Of ordered woods and gardens / Is running in your veins, / Strong love of grey-blue distance / Brown streams and soft dim skies / I know but cannot share it, / My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, / A land of sweeping plains, / Of ragged mountain ranges, / Of droughts and flooding rains. / I love her far horizons, / I love her jewel-sea, / Her beauty and her terror - / The wide brown land for me! A stark white ring-barked forest / All tragic to the moon, / The sapphire-misted mountains, / The hot gold hush of noon. / Green tangle of the brushes, / Where lithe lianas coil, / And orchids deck the tree-tops / And ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! / Her pitiless blue sky, / When sick at heart, around us, / We see the cattle die- / But then the grey clouds gather, / And we can bless again / The drumming of an army, / The steady, soaking rain. Core of my heart, my country! / Land of the Rainbow Gold, / For flood and fire and famine, / She pays us back threefold- / Over the thirsty paddocks, / Watch, after many days, / The filmy veil of greenness / That thickens as we gaze. An opal-hearted country, / A wilful, lavish land- / All you who have not loved her, / You will not understand- / Though earth holds many splendours, / Wherever I may die, / I know to what brown country / My homing thoughts will fly.

Carrickarede Rope Bridge by ragman

Carrickarede Rope Bridge County Antrim Northern Ireland The bridge I chose to represent Northern Ireland as it is a symbol of crossing over a tumultous time; and shows that there are two sides to our country with many difficulties in between. Northern Ireland has a population of 1.75 million; and after many years of conflict often referred to as ‘the troubles’; we have related interests with both the United Kingdom government and the government of the Republic of Ireland. Dating back 300 years, Carrick-a-Rede is a Rocky island connected to the cliffs by a rope bridge. It is one of Northern Ireland’s best-loved attractions Rocky island connected to the cliffs by a rope bridge Exhilarating coast path experience Site of Special Scientific Interest: unique geology, flora and fauna Fantastic bird-watching Maximum of eight people on bridge at any one time. Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is a rope suspension bridge near, Ballintoy, County Antrim, Northern Ireland The bridge links the mainland to the tiny Carrick Island. It is thought salmon fishermen have been erecting bridges to the island for over 300 years. It has taken many forms over the years. In the 1970s it featured only a single handrail and large gaps between the slats. The current bridge, tested up to 10 tonnes, was built with the help of local climbers and abseilers in 2000. Although no one has fallen off the bridge, there have been many instances where visitors, unable to face the walk back across the bridge, have had to be taken off the island by boat. The bridge is owned and maintained by the National Trust, spans 20 metres and is 30 metres above the rocks below Today the bridge is mainly a tourist attraction, with 250,000 visitors in 2007 (March to October). It is still used by fishermen during the salmon season, which lasts from June until September, however there are now very few salmon left. In the 1960s, almost 300 fish were caught per day, but by 2002, only 300 were caught over the entire season. The bridge is now taken down every year in late October or early November, depending on weather conditions, having been put up in March. The area is exceptional in natural beauty with stunning views of Rathlin Island and Scotland. Underneath large caves are visible, these caves once served as shelter for boat builders during stormy weather. Spanning a chasm some eighty feet deep is the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, Its construction once consisted of a single rope hand rail and widely spaced slats which the fishermen would traverse across with salmon caught off the island. The single handrail was subsequently replaced by a two hand railed bridge, the current, caged bridge was installed by the National Trust during Easter of 2000 as a further safety measure. Although no-one has ever been injured falling off the old bridge, there have been many instances of visitors being unable to face the return walk back across the bridge, resulting in them being taken off the island by boat. A collection of old photographs in Sheep Island View Hostel show a local man doing various stunts on the bridge which include riding a bicycle across it and performing handstands on a chair in the middle. Originally a ‘seasonal’ working bridge for the fishermen, since the demise of salmon fishing along the coast, the bridge is nowadays more widely used by passing visitor’s and marketed as a tourist attraction. The area is exceptional in is natural beauty, to the left as you come down the steep hill is Larrybane headland which once stretched out towards Sheep Island and had a promontory fort on the top dating to 800AD, underneath large caves once served as home to boat builders and a safe resting place from winter storms. During the 1950’s blasting, quarrying and shipping of limestone removed most of Larrybane Head, Iit is well worth a walk down to the old quarry area as some incredible views can be enjoyed from here It is a little walk out to the rope bridge but the views and adventure make the hike all worthwhile. Some people even find walking over this 80 foot high, wind swept bridge, scary. The bridge connects a very tiny island to the mainland. I found transversing the 65-foot bridge worth the scenic views one receives from the island, but it is a long and rugged walk from Larrybane to the bridge and back. Good car parking is available however. I only go there nowadays with visitors from overseas so if you’re ever in NI, let’s go for it. The Carrick-a Rede Rope Bridge is located on the North Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland, east of Ballintoy; and is run by the National Trust.*

The Many Faces Of Rascal by Cindirelli

This is my baby boy, Rascal, from a year ago to present. One year ago last month (June) I was on my front porch when I heard him scream (litterally) on the other side of the fence. I looked over and there was this little kitten, eyes all matted together and starving! So, what did I do you ask??? I jumped (well, I climbed) over the fence and grabbed him up. He has been with me and my family of cats every since. He is one of the sweetest kitties I have ever had.

Monkey Faces by Bonnie T. Barry

This little white faced Capuchin monkey was at a hotel in Dallas with his owner. His name is Mickey, and I was delighted at the variety of faces he made, from a confused look to a smile to a childlike fascination with a green sucker he was licking enthusiastically. Wherever Mickey went, crowds surrounded him; he was a star and I think he knew it!

Succulent Collage by reflector

A collage of macro digital photos of an unusual succulent plant. The photographs were all brought into Photoshop Elements 7 where they were scaled down and arranged on the digital canvas. I cropped out sections of most of the photo’s, one at a time using the selection tool and deleting the parts I didn’t want. A green base layer with a black border was created to contrast with the images.

For images in a collage format – not a single image but several images of a similar topic used to create one image. No straight up off the camera shots unless it’s a flukey film shot with 2 images in one. These should be mainly photographic in nature with minimal text. Collages are usually created in a photo editing program such as photoshop or paintshop pro.
PHOTOS ARE NOT MERGED TO CREATE ONE NEW IMAGE THEY ARE SEVERAL IMAGES IN A TOPIC SET OUT TO CREATE A COLLAGE.
THE IMAGES WITHIN THE FINAL COLLAGE ARE INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER.
SET OUT IN A GROUP OF 2, 3 OR MORE… as a montage or triptych.
Check out the images in the first few pages of the group to see if your pics fit in with what we are trying to achieve. **
Collages need to be created using a minimum of 2 separate photographs.
Example!

If you have collages made using traditional art mediums try checking out the altered art group.
