Lost World by Anna Shaw
A photo montage created in Photoshop. It was originally designed for a challenge on another forum. I was delighted that it won. / The rusty car in the foreground and the amazing sky were the initial start images. I created the foreground from my own stock, although the inspiration for this came from an image I saw long ago on Deviantart which I can no longer find. It was called Fantasy Cities. I am grateful to the following artists for use of their stock: / Wolves Featured in: The Scavenger Hunt / Retired and Happy The music which inspired this, is so beautiful – “Within Temptation- Pearls of Light” After, / the cold darkness, / in the heart of the forest. / Where birds are singing, / for the new born sun In the womb of the leaves, / on the branches of the trees, / lies the treasure in the morning, / the pearls of light. Carried away by the truculence of my world, / I got lost in the search for enlightenment, / The blue rain, / Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from. Carried away by the truculence of my world, / I got lost in the search for enlightment, / The blue rain, / Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.

" ANOTHER PUB???" by Malcolm Chant
I apologise for Sally draging me along to all these Pubs, it’s a situation I have no control over! / The 17th Century building has been a hotel and public house for many years.

Winchester Cathedral at Night 1 by bobculshaw
Shot in RAW and processed in CS4. Canon EOS 400D, Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS USM Lens at 17mm. ISO 200, 8secs at f4. Construction of the cathedral began in 1079 under Bishop Walkelin, and on April 8, 1093, in the presence of nearly all the bishops and abbots of England, the monks removed from Saxon cathedral church of the Old Minster to the new one, “with great rejoicing and glory” to mark its completion. The earliest part of the present building is the crypt, which dates from that time. William II of England and his older brother, Richard, Duke of Bernay are both buried in the cathedral. The squat, square crossing tower was begun in 1202 to replace an earlier version which collapsed, partly due to the unstable ground on which the cathedral is built. It has an indisputably Norman look to it. Work continued on the cathedral during the 14th century, in 1394 the remodelling of the Norman nave commenced to the designs of master mason William Wynford, this continued into the 15th and 16th centuries, notably with the building of the retroquire to accommodate the many pilgrims to the shrine of Saint Swithun. After King Henry VIII seized control of the Catholic Church in England, and declared himself head of the Church of England, the Benedictine foundation, the Priory of Saint Swithun, was dissolved (1539) and the cloister and chapter house were demolished, but the cathedral continued. Restoration work was carried out by T.G. Jackson during the years 1905–1912, including the famous saving of the building from total collapse. Some waterlogged foundations on the south and east walls were reinforced by a diver, William Walker, packing the foundations with more than 25,000 bags of concrete, 115,000 concrete blocks and 900,000 bricks. He worked six hours a day from 1906 to 1912 in total darkness at depths up to 6 m, and is credited with saving the cathedral from total collapse. For his troubles he was awarded the MVO. / (Wikipedia.org) : CX171-T5D3G-U4HYS

Never in my lifetime again by jchanders
Cycling through the forests near Lage Vuursche the other day I made a very sad discovery. This time it was not the bench that was missing. Some of you may remember my bench saga which I submitted last year. This time something worse has happened to this scene, something that cannot be restored like a bench that was destroyed! The wonderful larches that were standing along the right side of this beautiful path, are gone! Why they were cut down, I do not know. The only thing I know is that never in my lifetime again their colourful branches will fill my heart with joy, as they did each time and especially so in spring or autumn. When I found this old shot in my archive which I took in November 2007 and have not shown to you before, I realized so well what has gone. It may sound a bit sentimental what I am writing here, but I just had to tell you about it and show you this scene of beauty which has gone by now. I add the pictures submitted earlier for those of you who do not know them yet. Near Lage Vuursche, 15th November 2007, 9.16 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 28 mm / F 16, 1/80, ISO 400 The shots which I submitted earlier: Taken on 17th March 2009 Taken on 6th February 2009: Taken on 13th December 2008: Taken on 2nd May 2008:
