Melbourne and metal

A few images from looking up and looking down in Melbourne; and then a little more on metal.

The Melbourne photos come from a recent work-work trip - not a lot of time for relaxing or being a tourist; but still one can enjoy some texture and colour just walking from one place to another.

Looking down - thick glass tile light wells in the footpath. The glass tiles set in these light wells must be at least 25-30mm thick. Many have been replaced over time. It could be quite magical to be under the footpath and have filtered light coming through fractured glass.

Inspiration on the wall...

Yes there is blue sky up there....

Today I have cut another 140+ silver-plated blanks for my peace leaf project. So I now have about 220+ blanks - so I can start making the 210 peace leaves for International Peace Day on 21 September.

I did also cut all the metal for the tails and fins of my funky fish project - but didn't take any photos so I will share that as the funky fish progress.

Beautiful moon set etc

As many are aware lots of strange things have been happening with the full moon over the last few days.

I knew I was home on the mountain when I could lie in bed and look out our folding doors and appreciate the beautiful colours of the setting moon just before dawn. And of course given I had to get up, I thought why not capture and share a little of that beauty.

And of course why not alter a couple of the shots.

Whilst we have been dealing with the health saga, a lone white flower has sat on a kitchen window ledge. Over time it has fully blossomed and now has developed some green bits.

Given that it has been so cold over the last couple of days, I thought I'd give the flower a frosted look.

All photos taken with the iPhone.

Image catchers

Whilst I enjoy capturing and altering images with my iPhone I never count myself as a photographer - yep metal worker and sculptor but not a photographer in the league of many of the people I admire in our blog community.

Fiona and I have been fortunate to buy a couple of images captured by Suzi Smith of Lone Crow Photos. I just loved Suzi's ability to capture the mystery of the flight of a crow and different moods of the moon. The photos arrived on Friday when we arrived home from Perth.

Of course in taking a couple of closeups of the photos for this post I ended up with what I think are a couple of fragments that add their own tones and mystery.
