As I’ve been feeling particularly biblical today, thought I’d post this collage I made from 26 photos taken around the Algarve, southern Portugal, including most of the animals from a zoo in the area. Lightning was shot during a storm from my bedroom window. Mountain scene/sky/lighthouse: Cape St. Vincent, Algarve; ship: Protimao harbour; crow: Colorado; driftwood: Sannibel, Florida… and the waterbuffalo were ambiotronic robots from the African River Safari at Disney in Orlando. Human figures on ship were drawn in with Photoshop paint tools. I spent lots of time making sure the lighting on all the elements looked as though coming from the same source… but that rainy Belgian weather has a way of keeping me long hours at the PC… hey, it’s rained for quite a few days now without stop… Uh oh, here we go again. How am I gonna round up all those animals in time…?!

This is a collaborative transatlantic entry between myself and the incredibly talented and totally awesome billyboy in Belgium for RedBubbles Gaia – The Living Planet competition. Now, I’m not a religious person, but I wanted to illustrate by using billyboys Noah’s Ark image that if we dont start taking care of this planet we are living on I truly / believe we will be in for a disaster of biblical proportions. All that is beautiful and wondrous will simply disappear… like so many ephemeral bubbles. We are all interconnected, and we must find our harmony with Gaia, or risk losing it all. Many thanks to billyboy for sharing my vision, and giving so generously of his time, blood, tears and love to bring this vision into glorious life. Concept: Rhana / Background artwork: Billyboy / Art within the bubbles: Rhana / Bubble creation: Billyboy / Design: Rhana / Title Inspiration: Billyboy For those interested in buying the totally hawt tee of this image its now available over at billyboys place. Proceeds from sales of the tee go to the STV Foundation.

Cut out version of my collaboration with billyboy ... Too Precious to Lose

A lot to learn.. todays planned trip had to be cancelled, so I popped out for a couple of hours to Water Ark Foss. The weather was cloudy, so I thought it would be perfect for a waterfall shot.. no, the sun shone. My skills with the new camera were well tested.. you would think techniques would be similar one camera to another. I had a lot of trouble trying to get waterblur without over exposing the sunlit water. I wasn’t using ND filters, the only filter fitted was a circular polarizer. To be fair, It was only after quite a few shots that I checked my histogram and started to reshoot my shots. / Anyway, enough excuses.. Water Ark Foss is in the North York Moors National Park.

Even though I have recently manged to find a pair of UK size thirteen wellies that fit me, I was still unable to get any closer than this to the waterfall. Hopefully no more wet feet in the future :-) / I’ve reliably been told, at least two films have scenes taken from this very waterfall… I’d love to know which films? / I can understand why, once you’ve struggled down to the water level, the fall is absolutely beautiful. As I took these photo’s, behind and almost above me is a railway bridge that steam trains of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway power across at regular intervals. The waterfall is in the North York Moors National Park. WATERFALLS SET

Oils on canvas (20×24 inches) Ghosts, ruins and the faith of a small Irish village…. Kilbaha is one of my very special places in county Clare, Ireland. It is also the place where my dear friend, Hannah, is buried. On the hill overlooking the harbour, you can see the ruins of a mansion (Dun Dalhin) which belonged to the notorious landlord agent, Marcus Keane. (circa 1850’s). One day, I had a fascinating chat with a (very, very old) fisherman who was sitting outside the local pub and asked him about the history of the town. He pointed to the ruins and with that inevitable Irish twinkle in his eyes, said not to go there, as it is haunted. Now, according to his tale, the locals were not very fond of old Marcus, a cruel and merciless man, and one night while he was away doing the ‘dirty’, his mansion mysteriously burnt down. It was never rebuilt. Now the ruins stand on the hill, gauntly overlooking the harbour, with only cows and sheep daring to graze around it. He never said who or what was haunting the ruins but maybe it is old Marcus… stomping in frustration and waving a an angry fist at the arsonists who dared to burn his house and the locals with their priest who thwarted his efforts to control them …. who knows??? Read about The Little Ark… The Little Ark / In the 1850’s the celebration of Mass was prohibited in the Loop Head Peninsula West Clare. This situation had developed as the result of the attempts of the local land agent, Marcus Keane, to enforce the conversion of the local populace to Protestantism. Three schools were built on the Loop Head Peninsula in West Clare where the Protestant faith was taught. Food was provided for those who attended these schools and, in these days following the famine, this encouraged children to attend. At the same time a Protestant church was built at the entrance to Dun Dalhin (Marcus Keane’s house) overlooking the bay at Kilbaha. / The Parish Priest at this time was Father Michael Meehan. Fr. Meehan had come to Loop Head as Parish Priest in 1849. He was very familiar with the area, having spent a good deal of time with his aunt who lived in Cross and later Moneen and therefore he recognised the need to build schools in the area, as at this time there were none. In 1850 he opened the first of the six schools which he established in the Loop Head Peninsula. With the establishment of the landlord sponsored schools, increasing pressure was put on tenants to denounce their Catholic Faith and send their children to these schools,under threat of eviction. Obviously, these circumstances led to conflict between Marcus Keane and Father Meehan. During this time Fr.Meehan was also trying to obtain a site to build a church in Kilbaha. His attempts were unsuccessful. At one stage he did manage to acquire two adjoining houses in Kilbaha. He knocked the two houses into one and used the building for Mass. He was evicted from the premises after one month. / Father Meehan then contructed a tarpaulin shelter on poles which he attempted to use for Mass and then he used the covered shafts of a cart as a shelter but both proved to be unsuitable. It was against this backdrop of persecution that Father Meehan came up with the idea of The Little Ark.Picture of little_ark.jpgHe believed that if a suitable structure could be built it could be brought to the shore inKilbaha and placed between high and low tide,in no-man’s land. He thought that this would be an end to the problems he and his parishioners faced. Owen Collins, a carpenter in Carrigaholt, was commissioned to build a portable box on wheels. In 1852, when completed, the box was drawn in triumphal procession from Carrigaholt to Kilbaha. Father Meehan then used the box, or The Little Ark, as it became known, to say Mass in for the next four years. Father Meehan’s congregation would gather on the fore-shore at Kilbaha every Sunday, kneeling in prayer around the Ark. This practise continued for over four years and the sight of some three hundred people, praying in all weathers, attracted much publicity. / Eventually, a site was given for a church in 1857. The foundation stone for the church, ‘Our Lady, Star of the Sea’,was laid on12th July 1857. The church was dedicated on 10th October 1858. / The Little Ark was placed inside the church and remains there to this day, housed in a specially built annexe. Loop Head History The photo below is of The Little Ark I have a painting in my mind… showing the hill and ruins overlooking the harbour… indeed, I think I must paint it!

This is Pavey Ark, the eastern-most of the Langdale Pikes. From Stickle Tarn you can see a path ascending the scree to a “Y”; the left-hand branch is Jack’s Rake, the right-hand one is Easy Gully (all things being relative, of course). For ordinary mortals, the path up is round the right and back of Pavey Ark. / Which is the way I have been. / it is one of the most popular Scrambles in the English lake district national park Cumbria. / It has height of 700 metres from sea level / I haven’t done it…yet. / Stickle Tarn lies in a dramatic location below the steep eastern face of Harrison Stickle (736 metres/ 2,415 feet), which you can’t see in this shot, the tarn is a waterfilled corrie lying at an elevation of 473 metres (1552 feet) and has a depth of around 50 feet. The tarn was enlarged by the building of a stone dam in 1838 and is used to supply water for the inhabitants of Great Langdale. /

The first thing children ask when first laying eyes on this architectural spectacle is: ‘Why is that boat on top of the building?’ I imagine Noah and his animals safe and warm inside the Ark.

Had great fun with this one – I took the initial capture whilst walking through the Louvre, Paris. I just turned my head at the right moment and spied a room which was sectioned off with barriers, though you could still quite plainly see into it. I chuckled to myself thinking it reminded me of the last scene in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” when the “Ark” is boxed up and placed into a huge store room with lots of similar archaeological treasures. Whilst looking at it, try and think of those few haunting notes from the film score, when the ark is first found by Indiana in the Egyptian Tomb…. Just think what could be hidden in that room…....

And the rain began and rose above the mountains.
