Britannia Beach: Minning Canada / Once a large producer of copper, the mine was permanently closed in 1974. Within this National Heritage Site is the BC Museum of Mining which offers guided underground tours. From Britannia Beach continue on to Shannon Falls Provincial Park, which is six times the elevation of Niagara Falls and provides good hiking and picnic areas. Next is The Stawamus Chief, with some 180 rock climbing route. The Stawamus Chief is said to be the second largest piece of granite in the world.
I feel sharks are peaceful by nature and being over fished, killed by nets, and by finning ( fishermen take all the fins of of the shark and throw the shark back into the water alive and unable to swim, there are no regulatons on this activity). You are more likely to be hit by lightning then to be bit by a shark. Sharks usually only bite because they mistake humans for their favorite food the seal. If people don’t help the shark they will be come exstinct in the near future. I feel they are very graceful creatures and should be protected. Please go to / Sharkwater to find out more on sharks and how they are being mistreated. Half of the mark up amount will go to seashepherd to help to preserve this glaceful creature. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / I painted this black tip reaf shark in acrylic on canvas / Animals / Birds / Drawings / Flowers / Water / Holiday / Paintings / Sunsets / Autumn

A tray oven stands just under the cooker hood in the kitchen here, with some kind of vat laying on the floor next to it. Not entirely sure what the vat would have been for but it has to be liquids of some kind as there is a tap on the bottom of it. Thankfully the pipes in here are clad in fibre glass instead of asbestos, just as well really as kitchens are bad enough with spores without having to add asbestos into the mix. / / / See the rest of this site walk through / /

Time: 05:08.16 / Holy crap, I just went over! 106 tips! No! No, no, no. / [to off-screen director] / You should’ve stopped me, you should’ve let me know.

Time: 05: 27.92 / [clock rewinds] Time: 04:56.73 / Okay. Nicely done, me. For those wondering why I left out your favorite tips, / #100: Like Tab to hide all palettes / #101: Or Shift+Tab to hide just the right-side palettes. Time: 05:00.00 / I didn’t! Ha ha! I just mentioned ’em. Works for me!
In 1989, when in Saigon (or Ho Chi Min City), in Vietnam, we came across someone having a nap! The photographer in me could not resist! This is a scan of the 8X12 print in one of my original portfolios. There has been basic photoshop editing done but the image remains essential unchanged. I hope you like this! A little thought provoking.

Right, back to Shetland! There may be a perception of these wonderful northern isles as being barren, cold, wet and windy. Well, yes and no. True Shetland does have its moments and far be it from me to encourage too many people to visit these unspoiled lands(!) but summer sunshine can be plentiful and the beauty of the Islands undeniable. / This is Shonah taking a stroll along Banna Min beach on West Burra. True enough we did see someone else there but hardly ruined by the crowds;-) Hope it brings lovely summery thoughts to you all!

This is another one of the excersizes I have my students attempt…the 20 minute drawing or painting of their choice. This a 20 minute drawing I did one day in class right along with my students so they could see that it could be done… / I used Black and White pastel chalk on card stock, smooth bonded, acid free artist drawing paper. / I prefer the low tooth paper as it lends to stress free blending and does not eat the pastels in the drawing process. / My Fine Art and Photography Studio is located in Mesquite,Nevada. / Thanks for viewing my art.

This is something I’ve managed to sketch in one hour and ten minutes today whilst watching the rain on my window. and listening to Gold FM.
