Featured in the Nostalgic Art & Photography Group -Thank you / / Poor Muriel was completely mortified when a large crowd gathered outside the telephone booth, into which she had fled seeking refuge. It was only recently that she had felt able to walk freely through the park, without fear of bumping into George. Damn, she had known it was too soon….. All images my own, shot in London November 2008. Each squirrell in the image is actually an individual photo of a squirrell in London’s Hyde Park. Can you tell which squirrell is actually George? The photo booth was shot near Buckingham palace, London. Canon 40D with Canon 24-105mm lens Thanks for looking.

All is quiet on New Year’s Day. / A world in white gets underway. / I want to be with you, be with you night and day. / Nothing changes on New Year’s Day. / On New Year’s Day. I… will be with you again. / I… will be with you again.

Somewhere on earth, the rats have been liberated. No longer in exile to the sewers, they have come to take their revenge for hundreds of years of being captive test subjects. Their years in the sewers have had them remain out of sight, all the while growing both physically and mentally. Somewhere in the abandoned buildings near you, this new superbreed is watching and waiting for their turn to rule the industrialized world. They will start by farming workers and work has already begun with their own breeding program….......

FEATURED IN THE CANADA GROUP / I was intrigued to locate and photograph this old home, which now sits empty, after hearing stories about one of this region’s most famous citizens. Harry Lee, a locomotive engineer, apparently retired from the CP railway in his early sixties to take care of his ailing father struggling with dimentia, who lived with him. There are many stories of his father’s “unusual behaviour” which kept Harry very busy indeed. Harry collected a pension from the Canadian Pacific Railway until his death at 102 years of age….a highly unusual accomplishment. The following historical information was obtained from “Vanishing BC”: / http://www.michaelkluckner.com/bciw.html “Reputedly the oldest building in North Bend, British Columbia the house occupied by Harry Lee the legendary locomotive engineer, until his death at age 102 (in 2004) stands on 1st Street on the opposite side of the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline from the site of the CPR hotel. / “It is a classic little 1-1/2 storey house that may have been a CPR design-all the land on the river side of the tracks was and is owned by the CPR and leased to the occupants, who own their buildings. The original occupant is unknown. / Harry Lee, who lived in the house for as long as anyone can remember, is the son of pioneers at Keefers-upstream on the same side of the river, where there are still areas called Upper Lee and Lower Lee, although all the historic buildings are apparently demolished. Lee’s father, an Englishman, was a farmer who supplied milk to the railway. The house retains Lee’s personality—for example, the metal cooler (vented to the outside like a meat safe) is plastered with old Irish Sweepstakes tickets.” layers and textural effects were applied in CS4 /

PLEASE VIEW LARGE. / I was directed by long time citizens of this quiet old railroad town of North Bend, BC to another very old local heritage home that sits right beside the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks. It’s a house that is definitely time-worn and no doubt full of stories, family memories and a rich history spanning many decades. I expected to find this house empty like Mr. Lee’s old home…but a light glowed warmly in the front porch, a bird cage hung by the front door and a vase full of flowers sat cheerily in the window. I couldn’t help but think of that very old song that both Tom Jones and Johnny Cash made famous….to name but a few! _“The old home town looks the same, / As I step down from the train, / And there to meet me is my mama and my papa. / Down the road I look, and there comes Mary, / Hair of gold and lips like cherries. / It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home. The old house is still standing, / Though the paint is cracked and dry, / And there’s the old oak tree that I used to play on. / Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, / Hair of gold and lips like cherries. / It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they’ll all come to see me, / Arms reaching, smiling sweetly. / It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me, / At the four gray walls that surround me, / And I realize that I was only dreaming. / For there’s a guard, and there’s a sad old padre, / Arm in arm, we’ll walk at daybreak. / Again, I’ll touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they’ll all come to see me / In the shade of the old oak tree, / As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home.”_ / (written by Claude “Curly” Purman, Jr. in the early 1960’s.) / / layers and textural effects applied in CS4

And then there were those nights when the child dreamt she was as fearless and powerful as Gandalf – warding off the storms of Isengard….. Or were those nights only dreams in the nightmares after all? Who can tell? All of this has been made by me.

This is a site for original art only. Cut, pasting and blending of images. Please no Fractals or anything else like that…There are groups for them. All images must be high quality. The idea of this group is to create a story using your own photo’s or images.
A quick description of what you have done.
No use of filters just to create an effect over one image eg Orton effect (there are also groups for this)...But if you have merged different pics then thats fine.
Textures and brushes from other sites are allowed. We will reject anything that we deem unsuitable without further notice.
