Emerald Necklace Photos

Only 3 or so months after they were taken. Not that bad for me really.


Detail from a courthouse facade.


One of the many ponds along the Emerald Necklace.


The only baby squirrel I think I've ever seen.


Detail from a plaque on a bridge built during the depression.

Nice Arse Shot

Thanks Evan!

A cheat post

Demolished for a motorway bypass.

I loved the house I lived in for six years while at uni, but I'll be the first to admit it was not pretty. So it was probably a good choice from a PR perspective to demolish it first. It made it look like they were doing the community a service rather than carving a community in two.

Construction on the motorway bypass that had been fought since the 60's was kicked off in late 2004 with the demolition of 323 Willis St.

A girl was there to chain herself to the bulldozer - I always said I'd lie in front of the bulldozers if the time came, but I'd been in Boston for 3 years by then.

Sprogs!

I've been away from home for so long that I have "cousin in-laws" who I have never even met and now not one, but two "junior cousins" (first cousins once removed is a little cumbersome to say)!

I don't normally get gooey over children, but not having siblings means no nieces or nephews (at least not by blood), so these little guys are the closest I've got.



Mikaela, who looked rather like Daniel last time I saw a photo & the man himself, Daniel - 1 day old!

Scrapblog

Think I might be cheating a little here - this is actually a post from the other blog I've been working on, but it was supposed to be just a test ground for templates etc.

I had an idea to find a wood finish background and plaster it with stickers, graffiti, & a blog title as part of a blog template. In my search to find the ingredients I found Scrapblog [beta] (of course it's beta, it might even be beta 2.0).

You're supposed to put pictures in it too, but I was so enamoured with the backgrounds & "stickers" that I didn't even get to the pictures. You can even embed them in your regular blog - but I found for my purposes (only displaying one page) that taking a screen shot & cropping it in Photoshop worked better.

Fun with Fotos - Mexico, July 2006

More photos from my Mexico trip in July, tricked out with the help of fd's flickr toys. Will add titles once I get my files in order.

Anthropology Museum, Mexico City

It was an overcast day when we visited the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City, but Photoshop took care of that for me :) We spent hours at the museum & still didn't even get halfway round!




















The fountain in the courtyard was amazing.

Bovine Liberty, Mexico City

We found this statue on the way back to the hotel, on the outskirts of Chapultepec park. I don't know what it's real title is but "Bovine Liberty" seems appropriate.

I've been slowly uploading the photos from my trip in July to Flickr but it's slow going. I hit my monthly limit very quickly.

Spell with Flickr :)

& that's all that needs to be said.
