Coming up with a tour to this famous historical icon of my city – Pune. This time going a bit close, to present Shaniwar Wada with a new perspective. This is a popular view of this fortress from Delhi darwaja ( Delhi gate ). This gate was named as it has facing towards Delhi, now the national capital of India. As photography has limited access use of tripod is nit allowed and this shot was taken hand held, manual mode, @ ISO 100, f/16 and Tv 1/13, I just wonder how it didn’t blurred :) Enjoy the taste of history and art on enlarged view :) I have reworked this photograph in PS ( 05.03.2009 ) Have a tour of Shaniwar Wada, here. Visit my Bubblesite for comprehensive viewing of my images. Equipment : Canon EOS 400D

Capt. John Davis and Bombardier Lt. Carl Thompson are walking passed their bird to meet the rest of the boys for a few beers. Both can faintly hear music and laughter of men spilling from a tent near the end of the runway. Davis looks back into the setting sun, listens to the big radial engines still ticking from an earlier test flight. The distinct smell of burnt oil still lingers in the air. / “God I love that smell” he thinks to himself. / He gazes down upon the puddles of oil underneath the port and starboard engines. / “Hey, does it look like engine one is leaking more than usual?” John asks, turning to Carl who had his half smoked cigarette in the corner of his mouth. / “It’s been leaking more since Frankfurt”, Carl replies. / “Frankfurt? Yeah, I think you’re right”. Davis can still hear the screams of the waistgunner, when the shrapnel tore through the entire port side. / “Poor Sammy, he never had a chance”, Davis says. / Carl didn’t reply, just walked quietly next to John, the setting sun throwing long shadows onto the tarmac, making them both look like giants. / Both men knew that tonight they indeed feel larger than life, because there is no mission tonight.

A digital photo montage that fictionally depicts the fight to defend Newcastle in the Second World War. Edited in Paint Shop Pro - / I selected the sky and deleted it and then imported the sky from another photo. I applied a filter effect to the building and imported the image of the airplane which had been removed from its background and scaled down. I duplicated the airplane and positioned the copy on a new layer. I applied a tinting layer to the whole image to soften the contrast between the sky, planes and building. The bunker photographed is located at Shepherds Hill in Newcastle. Newcastle was never invaded by the Japanese in WWII, but one of their submarines did fire all 34 of their shells on the 8th of June 1942. No one in Newcastle was injured and many shells that landed caused little damage and some did not even explode on impact. Fort Scratchley, a couple of miles north of Shepherds Hill fired 4 rounds back at the submarine.

My First Visit to Leeds Castle / Looking through the blossom. Easter Flowing Beauty at Leeds Castle Kent UK. On this photography trip, I thought “I’ll go out and only take my 50mm prime (no Zoom capability) with me, this meant that for every single shot, to get the framing right I had to move rather than the lense. It was really interesting. Peoeple were watching me much more than normal, I had to duck down, stan tall, kneel in mud and walk back or walk forward, just to get the framing right. It was a good exercise because what you do get with a prime lense is pure light and quality of glass. It’s obvious in the sharp details in the 170 pictures I took on this shoot. I’ll definitely try it again. However, only taking the 50mm prime did hhave it’s limitations as well. I couldn’t get close enough to some subjects to capture the detail that I’d like to have. However, next time I can alway take along my zoom with me. One good things about Leeds Castle, it cost £16.50 to get in, but that enables you to go back as my times as you like within one year. So I’ll definitely be back to capture some more wonderful scenes from here. The place is a choc-box full of delights for any photographer or artist. It’s magical and amazing. / Camera.

The White Queen-Rook’s Pawn / Artist: Sjem / Biography: Danny One of the White King’s great assets – even though he possesses a fallen Angel in his ranks was his belief that faith alone would not save his army and the art of both mechanoid and wizardry could always be relied upon to be great allies when administered carefully. / Hence the reason the king kept Universities that studied the mechanical and more unorthodox majical arts. / It was through these academies principled by the Queens Bishop that the flank engines were created… Due to the massive size of mechanoid monster that is the Steam City it is slow to prime and start and is restricted in it’s movements at first. To counter this a small army of Blasters were created. / Incredibly fast initially on take off they eventually maintain a much slower speed up the battlefield. / This sudden burst of speed can surprise the enemy and give the impression that the mother ship is capable of the same acceleration.

“Whosoever claims Lokrum for his own personal pleasure shall be damned!” Such was the chant of the expelled Benedictine monks as they wove their final ritual on the island during the 18th century before being driven away from their island monastery originally founded in 1023. Indeed, legend has it that a number of those who went on to try and procure personal profit came to an awful and deadly fate. Further legend surrounds the story of Richard Lionheart becoming shipwrecked when returning from Palestina in the vicinity of Lokrum in 1192, and vowing to build a church at the site of the first ground upon which he set afoot. This was Lokrum. The island was eventually sold to the local government of the time in 1919 for humantitarian use, and so the curse was thankfully released. / / The photo shows the island as viewed from a doorway along the fortress Walls of Dubrovnik Old Town, which is listed since 1979 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lokrum Island is one of Croatia’s National Parks. / I am delighted to have won the recent Showing A Date Challenge at the Historic Landmarks of Europe group.

An early Summer’s morning on the main promenade in the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik Old Town, has been listed since 1979 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image was taken just at the Southern end of Stradun looking North. On the right you can see the ornate Renaissance columns and archways of the Sponza Palace, while opposite on the left you get a partial view of the Baroque St.Blaise’s church under repairs behind scaffholding. There are two people standing at the flagpole off-centre, which is actually Orlando’s column. It is Summer, so the Libertas red and white festival flag is hoisted, otherwise the Croatain flag is in its place. Stradun extends forward lined by the rows of houses, boutiques and restaurants. Tourists are hauling their wheeled luggage down the street(the Old Town is exclusively pedestrian only). In the distance is the 1424 church spire of the famous Fransiscan monastery and which houses one of Europe’s first apothecaries founded in 1397. / MANY THANKS FOR THE FEATURES: /

FEATURED HISTORIC PLACES SEPT 2009 / FEATURED WORLD CRUISE SHIPS OCT 2009 / September Song (words by Maxwell Anderson/ music Kurt Weil) / When you meet with the young men in early Spring / You court them in song and rhyme / They answer with words and a clover ring / But if you examine the goods they bring / They have little to offer but the songs they sing / And the plentiful waste of time. Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December / But the days grow short when you reach September / When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame / One hasn’t got time for the waiting game. Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few / September, November / And these few precious days I’ll spend with you / These precious days I’ll spend with you. Many many wonderful versions exist of this wistful old standard that to me seemed appropriate for this shot. My particular favorites are by Art Pepper(instrumental), and Patricia Kaas. / Pictured is Dubrovnik Old Town which has been listed by UNESCO since 1979 as a World Heritage site.

The Green Bell-Ringers of Old Town Dubrovnik strike the hour, and again at five past the hour, to hurry along dawdlers like me. The clocktower pictured in the left foreground was first erected in Dubrovnik at Luza Square in 1444, and later came to house the Green Bell with its Green Men, and so it is also referred to as the Bell-Tower. Standing 31 meters tall, it was erected as a symbol of the city’s independence, along with the Column of Orlando and Minceta Fortress. (Not pictured here) The ringers are fondly referred to as the “Zelenci” (trans.”Green Men”) The original bell suffered irreparable damage in the 1667 earthquake, being replaced at various times, but in 1929 was been rebuilt according to original drawings. In the centre and right is the cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which was re-built in the 1700’s, the earlier 12th-14th century Romanesque structure having been devastated in the 1667 earthquake, which is said to have been originally built using a votive gift from Richard the Lionheart who had survived a shipwreck in the area in 1192, returning home from his crusades. Restoration work in 1981 however uncovered evidence of an earlier cathedral dating from the 7th century, which has now put under question previous theories and suggests a well-established urban centre at this point. Dubrovnik Old Town has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979. / (Best viewed large)

The Steam City / The Left flank that provides the Queen’s armies protection is a massive structure made of slick marble and iron making the structure unscaleable except from within. The ability to create what can only be described as a turret on wheels also provides a means to carry the food, supplies and weapons that a large army needs to conduct a battle of mythical proportions.

FEATURED OCT 2009 JAZZED UP ART / FEATURED OCT 2009 HISTORIC PLACES / / Blue was just the color of the sea / till my lover left me. / Blue was just a bluebird in a tree / Till she said forget me. / Blue always made me think of Summer / Cloudless Summer skies so fresh and warm. / But now the blue I see is more like Winter / Winter skies with clouds about to storm. / Blue was just the color of the sky / Till she said good-bye love. / And blue was just a ribbon for first prize / Till she said don’t cry love. / Blues were only torch songs / fashioned for impulsive ingenues. / But now I know / Too well I know / Too well I know / The meaning of the blues. Composer: Bobby Troup ( Below is a Youtube video of Keith Jarrett’s amazing rendition of this jazz standard. / / I am looking forward to visiting Dubrovnik again soon, this time for the Winter. The shots above and below were both taken in November 2008, and are among my favorites of the visit. I love the lonely deserted narrow streets, and the play of light and shadow across the walls and lamps. It was quite a beautiful moment I shared with Mick and his sister. We had been walking the Old Town, and feeling quite relaxed, and came upon a cute store selling cool hats- we had spent some time in there looking at the pork-pies, the shubaras, and dozens of other nostalgic designs, and had emerged onto the street laughing, and as our carefree laughter bounced softly across the lonely walls, standing in the doorway of the hat shop, I looked and saw the beauty in this scene, that I share with you now. Every season has its beauty, and every mood. I am interested which you might prefer, the top image or this one below, and whether I should upload this one below as well if people like these. / Nikon D70s / Nikon 30-200mm lens / f/5 / 1/60 sec / focal length 46mm / handheld/no flash / Editted PS, Photomatix. / Uncropped
