Goodyear Blimp in Wales, UK

Terry writes: “Photography really is a moment of opportunity. I was in my garden on Sunday taking a shot of the bamboo and trying to capture the mood of the sky. I put my camera in the house, and just was sitting relaxing in the Garden when I could hear a distant engine sound getting closer. I looked out and along came this Goodyear blimp. I rushed in, grabbed my camera and rattled off these shots. The sky had changed to clear blue and it was just perfect timing.”

Capitol Centre Octagon

Terry writes: “This is a shot I took, then had some fun with it in a free photo program named “Zoner.” I feel like I should name the shot High Anxiety.” This is the Capitol Shopping Centre in Cardiff, Wales (not Maryland). “Zoner” is commercial photography software which, among other things, can “use the Droste Effect tool to create pictures that repeat inward into themselves.” Here we have excellent photography which is also very cool!

Wales Millennium Centre – Terry White

Photo by Terry White. The Wales Millennium Centre is a UK center for the arts located in Cardiff, Wales. It houses the national orchestra among other performing arts. The inscription on the theater at the Centre is shown in Terry’s slide show. It reads “Creu Gwir Fel Gwydr O Ffwrnais Awen” (Welsh) or “In These Stones Horizons Sing” (English) – also the title of an orchestral work by noted composer Karl Jenkins. Terry writes: “Took the Fuji out and about today, the Weather was simply superb, a nice crisp clear early Spring Day.” … Click image for larger file.
