Over the Hills and far away

Hey, its Twangy here, just got in before imac locks his computer cupboard up for his trip with his DW - Over the hills and far away.
He's at the moment packing his suitcase sorting out all his odd socks.
I'd better go before he comes in and shuts down his puter and locks me in the cupboard too.
Cheers for now,
love Twangy.

Wonders of the Deep

In my 1st pic, we see the Glass lift (elevator) which goes up and down all the floors inside the BIG tank, gee what a view.
In my 2nd pic, we see the 3 screen cinama which takes you into the future of Nature.

Header Challenge 24-02-10 = See the Birdie

Click to enlarge = In Rydale Folk museum Yorkshire UK - stands the oldest daylight Edwardian Photographers Studio in the Country dating back to 1902.

((See or Watch the Birdie)) is a photographers saying to get the folk looking at the camera, also another saying is - Say cheese or Sausages, which should make the folk smile at the camera.

My Header Photo ((See the Birdie)) will explain itself.

YES its that time once again folk - Its the Header Challenge 24-02-10.
The theme " See the Birdie" was chosen by TomF/G.

Deep Ice Wall Cave

Now we enter the Ice Cave, where the walls in here are made from real ice, yes sir, real ice, I know, I touched the wall and can vouch its real ice, and thats not all in the Ice Cave - they run films on the ice walls of Arctic Creatures.
Here are 2 of the films they run.

Viewing the Deep 1 & 2

Folk viewing the Deep at the large tank and a smaller tank, learning about the fish and their habbits along with info explaining about their part of the World they live in.

Brains in the Deep

This photo I've called "Brains in the Deep" Just because it reminds me of a photo of Brains.lol.
Click to enlarge and Enjoy.

The Deep and Hull theme just might last all this week
with lots of interesting shots to come.

Swaying in the Deep

These little fish just love to duck and dive into the plant life to play hide n seek while everyone watches.
The movement is so beautiful to watch as the plant life sways to and fro with the water.
Dont forget to click to enlarge and enjoy.

Deep Reflections

Continuing the Arty theme, this photo at the Deep is called Deep Reflections.
In this part of the tank, there is a mirror at the back, and I'm a sucker for reflections, so I took full advantage of this wonderful idea.

Deep - Movement

At first glance this was heading for the bin, but the movement in this photo in the light blue area caught my eye, and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
I guess with being married to an Artist, Lines and patterns have now entered my life and I see my photos in a different way.
"What say you?"

More Fish

Here's our 2nd shot of the fish from the Deep in Hull.
Any of our fish bloggers know any names of these?

From the Deep (1)

We enter and climb the stairs to the top(or take the lift) and then we slowly go round and round and down, looking into the many windows of the Deep tanks.
Regretfully no flash was allowed, so some pics are blured, but you will get the idea of what its like.
Apart from the many kids about,being pushed - shoved, ect, we did however enjoy our trip to the Deep, there are some amazing things here.

The Deep - Hull - yorkshire - UK.

Our 1st port of call in Hull was the Deep.
(click here for info)

What a fab looking building it is.

Our coach stopped at the Humber Bridge for coffee before we reached Hull, as we went into the visitors centre, we saw a poster for the Deep, so we purchased our tickets there, and we were real lucky as they were selling their tickets for last years price. 1st stroke of luck
When we arrived at the Deep(being 1/2 term) kids kids and kids, all waiting to buy their tickets,,,,we walked straight through their line and into the entrance, 2nd stroke of luck. OK plenty of kids inside but not enough to make it a dissaster, we really enjoyed our tour.
Tune in tomorrow to see, what we saw.

Imp number 2

If you read the history of the Lincoln Cathedral Imp, you will know that there were 2 Imps, while one was turned to stone by the Angel for reaking havoc in Lincoln Cathedral the other fled, well - I have found the 2nd Imp, he is living in a tree stump just as you are about to travel over the Humber Bridge taking you into Yorkshire.
This story now leads me into my next session of photos which is from Hull and the Deep.

Stained Glass Window Special 1

See special post 2 for info.

Stone Archway

As you enter Lincoln Cathedral through the stone archway, I happened to look up and saw all this carving on the stone, wondered how long it must have taken?.

Reflections in Lincoln Cathedral

These - were the main items that caught my eye in Lincoln Cathedral = Reflections.
There are a few more to come, but a little later. I just stood in awe and marveled at these reflections
- the clolours - shapes, all because the sun was shining through the Stained Glass Windows.
My Heart was thumping as I walked around photographing all these reflections.
I was like a little kid when they wake up on a Christmas Morning and find their pillow slip full of presents.
