More from the Lightscapes Set Poem: The Secret Place From: The Ice Cream Store. Toronto: Harper Collins Publishers, 1991. There’s a place I go, inside myself, / Where nobody else can be, / And none of my friends can tell it’s there— / Nobody knows but me. It’s hard to explain the way it feels, / Or even where I go. / It isn’t a place in time or space, / But once I’m there, I know. It’s tiny, it’s shiny, it can’t be seen, / But it’s big as the sky at night . . . / I try to explain and it hurts my brain, / But once I’m there, it’s right. There’s a place I know inside myself, / And it’s neither big nor small, / And whenever I go, it feels as though / I never left at all.

Famous for it’s ballroom dancing, Wurlitzer organ and fine victorian architecture. / Blackpool tower ballroom. / Shot at the seaside resort of Blackpool, Lancashire. / Here’s some info on the ballroom, courtesy of Wikipedia: / The original ballroom, the Tower Pavilion opened in August 1894. It was smaller than the present ballroom and occupied the front of the tower complex. The Tower Ballroom was built between 1897 and 1898 to the designs of Frank Matcham who also designed Blackpool Grand Theatre and it opened in 1899. It was commissioned by the Tower company in response to the opening of the Empress Ballroom in the Winter Gardens. The ballroom floor is 120ft x 120ft and is made up of 30,602 blocks of mahogany, oak and walnut. Above the stage is the inscription, “Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear” from the poem Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare. Each crystal chandelier in the ballroom can be lowered to the floor to be cleaned which takes over a week. / From 1930 until his retirement in 1970 the resident organist was Reginald Dixon, known affectionately as “Mr. Blackpool”. The first Wurlitzer organ was installed in 1929, but it was replaced in 1935 by one designed by Reginald Dixon. The current resident organist is Phil Kelsall who has been playing the organ at the Tower since 1975 when he started in the circus. / The ballroom was damaged by fire in December 1956, and the dance floor was destroyed along with the restaurant underneath the ballroom. Restoration took two years and cost £500,000, with many of the former designers and builders coming out of retirement to assist, the resturant then became the Tower Lounge. / The BBC series Come Dancing was televised from the Tower Ballroom for many years and it has also hosted shows from Strictly Come Dancing including the grand final of the second series on 11 December 2004. / The Blackpool Junior Dance Festival (“Open to the World”) has been held each year in the ballroom since 1964. / Dancing was not originally allowed on Sundays; instead, sacred music was played. The ballroom also originally had very strict rules including: / “Gentlemen may not dance unless with a Lady” and / “Disorderly conduct means immediate expulsion”. / The ballroom has had a number of resident dance bands including Bertini and his band, and Charlie Barlow. Other smaller dance bands have also appeared as residents including the Eric Delaney Band and the Mike James Band. / Under the management of Leisure Parcs,and the direction of bandleader Greg Francis, the Blackpool Tower Big Band was reformed in 2001 after an absence of 25 years. The New Squadronaires, The Memphis Belle Swing Orchestra and The Glenn Miller Tribute Orchestra also performed. Themed nights were also introduced along with the sixteen piece orchestra, with resident singers, including Robert Young, Tony Benedict, Lynn Kennedy, and Mark Porter.[citation needed] In 2005 the Empress Orchestra became resident in the ballroom alongside the specially created and smaller Empress Dance Band. / Shot with a Nikon D70s and 18-70mm lens /

This was the last shot as I was packing up, while I was chatting to a fellow medium-format photographer. It’s got everything: lovely subtle pink & blue sky colours, reflection in still water… well worth getting up early for. Taken on the Hasselblad using Fuji Provia film, at Friar’s Crag on the end of Derwentwater, Keswick, in the Lake District .

Whitby Abbey taken at 4:30 am (yawn). The first light of the day from the rising sun gave this amazing glow to the stones of this ancient building bringing it to life. Whitby is a wonderful seaside town along the North Yorkshire coast of England. This is a fascinating place to visit.

The central quadrangle of the British Museum in London was redeveloped during the late 1990s to a design by Foster and Partners to become the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, commonly referred to simply as the Great Court. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. The court has a tessellated glass roof designed by Buro Happold covering the entire court and surrounds the original circular British Museum Reading Room in the centre, now a museum. It is the largest covered square in Europe, bigger than a football field. The glass and steel roof is made up of 4878 unique steel members connected at 1566 unique nodes and 1,656 pairs of glass windowpanes making up 6100m2 of glazing each of a unique shape because of the undulating nature of the roof.

this is a combination manip/painting / I’ve been working on this for a couple of weeks – a little each night. I tried to add a lot more depth and light from the wet street. More shadows too….I wanted it to be modern – yet at the same time, have a long ago feeling. Does that make sense? / I didn’t want it completely straight either – meaning I wanted a tad of the impressionistic style. I got tired at the end – and my brush strokes got a bit sloppy at the top…but I went back and tried to make it better. I made this for a fried of mine who loves England…. / (a birthday present).

“They found a naked child upon the sands Of dark Tintagel by the Cornish sea; And that was approven King:” / Tennyson (Idyll of the Kings) / There are many myths and legends associated with Tintagel and the surrounding area. Geoffrey of Monmouth, the King Arthur populist who lived in the 12th century was the first to connect Arthur with Tintagel in his 1136 work Historia Regum Britanniae, or History of the Kings of Britain. Monmouth cited Tintagel as the spot where 5th century King Arthur was conceived circa A.D., 480-500. Another popular myth which surrounds Tintagel is that of Merlin’s Cave which can be found below the castle and visited via the beach at low tide. It is said that Merlin lived in a cave below fortress of Tintagel while King Arthur grew up, to be his teacher Tintagel Castle is one of the most mysterious and beautiful historic sites in Britain. Situated on the west coast of Cornwall, Tintagel is built on the remains of a coastal headland which is gradually being eroded by the sea. Historians believe that it dates back to the 13th century and it has been long associated with the legend of King Arthur. From Squidoo….......

The last day of a wonderful trip around Spain, this was the view back to the holiday let we’d booked, every evening we travel back to the villa and in between the trees there was this view. I hoped at one point during our trip that I’d take a shot when the light or timing light was right the unfortunately it never seemed to be right. On the last night, on our way back to the airport we got a puncture and had to stop in a lay by for hours, as there was no spare tyre and the nearest breakdown truck 4 hours away! Had we not had to wait I wouldn’t have have got this shot. I hope you like it. Greeting Cards / Framed Print / Canon 10D, 70-200mm at 200mm, f/22, 1/250 sec, ISO 100. Handheld shot from a car door.
