So before Danny interrupted me with all this WWWWWWW bollocks, I had been working on this idea, and then I kind of nicked my own concept for his challenge, but I thought I’d put this up anyway. Originally the doves morphed into AK47s but I thought this displayed more hope, I won’t explain it, it’s too obvious, and JJDegrade will freak out, but yes, the effects are embedded into your spine. You have no choice. (Ignore the quality of the previews below, they’re screenshots, don’t panic, I haven’t gone all amateur)
An occupational hazzard associated with being the official photographer for the RSPCA WA! This little guy’s sole agenda was to jump at me and latch onto whatever he could. In this case it was the leg of my jeans, but he also had a good chew on my hand, camera strap and even a 50mm lens! This puppy was re-homed the day this shot was taken. Profit portion of any sales will go to the RSPCA WA. Taken with a Canon 5D and 50mm prime lens @ f1.8, ISO 1000, 1/400th sec, handheld. Featured in Canon DSLR Group Feb 2009. Featured in Workshop Camera Club June 2009. Placed in top 10 (9th) in Paws ‘n’ claws Dog Profile Challenge, August 2009.

Any golf addict want to play this water hazard?? My nephew was down at the lake throwing things on the ice when it was completely frozen. Today it all melted but I caught these shots when the ice actually had water on top of it. It gave it an interesting effect. There has been no edit on this image.
Ethan really wanted to help out with the vacuuming this morning…..unfortunately it didn’t turn out so well! NOTE: No children were harmed in the making of this photograph…promise =-)

This element called Mercury / Quicksilver known as too / Has hidden dangers we can’t see / We now seek to construe / / Mutagen with silver sheen / So shiny it’s allure / Mistaken in the way it’s seen / By falsehoods that obscure / / Not friend once thought, instead a foe / Destroys through breath and touch / Hides deep within it’s host to flow / To next host it will clutch / / Leaves souvenir in DNA / With children’s lives at stake / Mutates the genes where it did stay / In those that did partake / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the element mercury, also known as ‘Quicksilver’. Mercury has been hypnotic with it’s liquid silver allure throughout history in every culture on Earth. It is as deadly as it is beautiful, and could be considered the venom of mother nature, as it is a natural element of nature. However, it has been made much more prevalent and toxic due to the technologies of humankind. Mercury is the apple of Eden. / / Mercury occurs in deposits throughout the world as mercuric sulfide or cinnabar, the source of the red pigment vermilion. It is highly toxic by ingestion or inhalation of the dust, and by absorption through the skin and mucous membranes. Mercury poisoning can also result from exposure to soluble forms (such as mercuric chloride or methylmercury), inhalation of mercury vapor, or eating seafood contaminated with mercury. / / The consumption of seafood is by far the most significant source of ingestion-related mercury exposure in humans, although plants and livestock also contain mercury due to bioaccumulation of mercury from soil, water and atmosphere, and due to biomagnification by ingesting other mercury-containing organisms. Exposure to mercury can occur from breathing contaminated air; from eating foods containing mercury residues from processing, such as can occur with high-fructose corn syrup; and from improper use or disposal of mercury and mercury-containing objects, for example, after spills of elemental mercury or improper disposal of fluorescent light bulbs. / / I’m sure you all know of those wonderful, be-green, ‘energy-efficient’ fluorescent replacement bulbs they now tout as helping to save the planet… well over 90 percent of those bulbs available are of the mercury-vapor type, that then end up in the landfills to find their way into waterways and ground water, and/or into the atmosphere. Think about that next time you buy one of these bulbs thinking you are helping the environment by being ‘green’! Be sure to get one of the non-mercury type of fluorescent bulbs ( but these are generally hard to find and more expensive ), or go back to the better mousetrap that Edison originally created ( the incandescent bulb ). / / Human-generated sources such as coal plants emit approximately half of atmospheric mercury, with natural sources such as volcanoes responsible for the remainder. An estimated two-thirds of human-generated mercury comes from stationary combustion, mostly of coal. Other important human-generated sources include gold production, non-ferrous metal production, cement production, waste disposal, crematoria, caustic soda production, pig iron and steel production, mercury production (mostly for batteries), and biomass burning (yet another technology that has been falsely touted as being ‘green’). / / Mercury and many of its chemical compounds, especially organomercury compounds, can also be readily absorbed through direct contact with bare, or in some cases (such as dimethylmercury) insufficiently protected, skin. Mercury and its compounds are commonly used in chemical laboratories, hospitals, dental clinics, and facilities involved in the production of items such as fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, and explosives. / / Fish and shellfish have a natural tendency to concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a highly toxic organic compound of mercury. Species of fish that are high on the food chain, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, albacore tuna, and tilefish contain higher concentrations of mercury than others. As mercury and methylmercury are fat soluble, they primarily accumulate in the viscera, although they are also found throughout the muscle tissue. When this fish is consumed by a higher level predator, the entire body burden of mercury in the consumed fish is transported to the one that consumes that fish. / / Since fish are less efficient at depurating than accumulating methylmercury, fish-tissue concentrations increase over time. Thus species that are high on the food chain amass body burdens of mercury that can be ten times higher than the species they consume. This process is called biomagnification. Think about that next time you are enjoying your seafood dinner! / / The exposure to mercury through seafood is well known. What isn’t well know is the atmospheric exposure to mercury that we all breath in with every breath each day. 27 percent of all atmospheric mercury is from stationary combustion, of which coal-fired power plants are the largest aggregate source. This includes power plants fueled with natural gas where the mercury has not been removed. Emissions from coal combustion are between one and two orders of magnitude higher than emissions from oil combustion, depending on the country. / / Mercury is such a highly reactive toxic agent that it is difficult to identify its specific mechanism of damage, and much remains unknown about the mechanism. It damages the central nervous system, endocrine system, kidneys, and other organs, and adversely affects the mouth, gums, and teeth. Exposure over long periods of time or heavy exposure to mercury vapor can result in brain damage and ultimately death. Mercury and its compounds are particularly toxic to fetuses and infants. Women who have been exposed to mercury in pregnancy usually give birth to children with serious birth defects. / / Mercury exposure in young children can have severe neurological consequences, preventing nerve sheaths from forming properly. Mercury inhibits the formation of myelin. There is some recent evidence that mercury poisoning may predispose to Young’s syndrome (men with bronchiectasis and low sperm count). Mercury poisoning’s effects partially depend on whether it has been caused by exposure to elemental mercury, inorganic mercury compounds (as salts), or organomercury compounds. And last, but surely not least, research has shown that mercury is a mutagen. In biology, a mutagen (Latin, literally origin of change) is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material (usually DNA) of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are typically also carcinogens. Our exposure to mercury dooms our offspring to irreversible and unnatural mutations of their own DNA. / / I know this was particularly long, but I hope it has been educational about an issue that has not been recognized and dealt with as the true danger it truly is to ALL life on Earth… not just humans. Much thanks to Wiki for some background info. / / You can read more about this growing issue at the links that I have provided below, as I have just nicked the top of a very large iceberg with the information given above. Sorry… but you will have to cut and paste the URL of the first URL, due to the really lame formatting Redbubble uses instead of standard HTML, as the Wiki address uses a parenthesis in the address that Redbubble server interprets as something else. There are ways to secure your input these days Redbubble even with standard HTML allowed in input fields. I’d be happy to set that up for you at my modest programming rate of 60 bucks an hour… and I admit that using a parenthesis in a web address is also another really lame practice that should be addressed by Wiki as well. / / Mercury – the element / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(element) / / Mercury Poisoning / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_poisoning / / The original is artwork is 3600×3600 pixels at 300 pixels per inch.

A beautiful little idyllic creek meanders to the ocean across the sandy point at Hazard Bay near Temma in Tasmania’s Tarkine area. / The sheer beauty hides the fact that this little creek creates notorious quicksand that can swallow a vehicle before you would be able to arrive back with help. / Even walking across the firm looking surface gives a taste of the true nature. / The sand wobbles like a waterbed underfoot as you sink in, then jump clear like a startled animal.

Walking along this beach was an experience like no other. The mountains in the back ground are known as the Hazards. I really wished I had a wide angle lense for this one. / Canon30d 17-85mm lens /
The late sun on Hazards Beach, i spent my first night camp here, this is on the other side of the peninsula to Wineglass bay, only saw 2 other people that day, I did pass 3 Tiger snakes within 15 minutes on the walk to this beach, they are pretty slow this time of year so no worries there. I spent the day here lying in the sun, swimming and scouting for photo spots for sunset/rise..lovely jubly.
Taken on Hazards beach on the other side of Wineglass bay at Sunset. How the peninsula is set up gives the feeling of a W.A sunset, as this is on the east coast. I liked the way only a few rocks were being struck by the sun. This shot if for my friend Edyta and her kindness of my not so good Polish:)
