Welcome to 2011



"New Year at midnight"




.
A midwinter day's dream


If you hadn't got the opportunity to visit any spectacular snowy locations at the moment, you have to look for the smaller details at your door. Sometimes the results could also be impressive. A few of the pics look like abstract art.

So look at "The Man Outside":






"Without words"








"Oceanic"






"The long and winding road"







"The eyes of the wolf"








"A bit like a winter landscape from Pieter Bruegel the Elder"





"Black & white"





"The land of Mordor"






"Looking for Blofeld's goons"

Very nice pics indeed

[Harry Potter]

Well done Mr. Photographer
Just like to say this is a great start to the year.
Who knows you may even get to see some of my efforts on here later!

A warm thanks.


@Harry Potter

Hope to see some nice pictures from you in the near future, Mr. Potter.





... before this winter takes a short break




"Forests of Hogwarts" :-)








"Free like a bird"






"Johnnie Walker: Born in 1820 – still going strong"

[Harry Fawkes]

One of the finer moments in my life

[Jeff007]

Very nice photo, Harry.

I know everybody will be disappointed that there are no beautiful women in these pictures . Instead you get pictures of a couple of projects I've been working on.





Cigar box guitars. Of course, I don't actually know how to play them- or tune them for that matter- but how cool is it to make your own instrument?

With spent brass as a bridge...


... and a nut, with eyebolts for tuners.


And it's electric.


The new one is functionally identical. Most of the differences are cosmetic. Roll pins instead of shell casings for the nut & bridge, and toothpick frets.

[Chief of SIS]

I love peculiar hobbies like this. Very cool.

[jaguar007]

Your cigar guitar is very cool kilroy!

[Harry Fawkes]

The name's Fawkes....Harry Fawkes



Me ting away again

[Harry Fawkes]

Somebody killed Mr. Fawkes!

Jealous bastards!

Just pissing about guys. G'night

[jaguar007]

OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED HARRY! THOSE BASTARDS!

Now that you're dead, I imagine that beautiful room will soon be available. Where exactly were you executed?

Oh yes, sorry about your untimely death, MI6 won't rest until you are avenged, and the other usual and customary phrases...

Where exactly were you executed?

In the bedroom

[terminus]

That looks like one of those pictures where you can solve the murder from looking at it, like all the clues are there but hidden, Harry!

Precisely Terminus. I am part of a game that is coming out exclusively for PCs. It's being made by a British/German company and should be out in a couple of months time. I am of course not known as Harry Fawkes in the game and unfortunately I cannot give out any details as such. In fact if the producers found out that I posted these bits they'd skin me alive. Ah, well ... Dare all to win all!



My character in the game is a bit of a ... bad guy, which is truly not me at all. Believe me I am so soft at heart. Here's a couple more:




This is my Dracula look. I know, I know, I'm mad as a hatter!




And this is the wife I killed in the story! We actually never met whilst doing the whole thing.

Can't say more about it cause' as I said they'll have my head and I need it


Jack of all trades did you say? Me? No! Oh, if only I didn't join the bloody army mate. The world've been mine!

Somebody killed Mr. Fawkes!

The Springer Spaniel did it.

My poor old Barney, photo taken a few years ago, who died last week; long life, lovely doggy - RIP.

I'm sorry Jim. He looks like a fun dog. I had a chocolate lab that looked very similar to him.

[jaguar007]

Very sorry to hear that Jim. Loosing a pet is one of the most difficult things one goes through in life.

[Jim]

Thanks folks; the children are very upset, especially the twins as he was the same age as them (16 - admittedly quite old for a dog), extra brother etc.

My poor old pal, I'll miss him hugely.

Really sorry about that Jim. I know what it feels like to lose a great pal like that. Had to put mine down six years ago (he was very ill). Six years ago and a life times' full of God knows what, and I still miss the little terror believe me. Ah, well...

[Santa]

That's bad news, Jim. Dogs have a lot to teach us about love and loyalty. There's no friend like a canine friend.

I lost my 16 year old American Eskimo last February. My daughter was 18 and my son was 5 when it happened. Yes, very tough indeed.

My thoughts go out to you and your family.

[elizabeth]

Sorry about that, Jim. We had to put our dog down a few years ago.

[Kilroy6644]

Sorry for your loss, Jim. There a very few friends as close as a dog.

That's very sad, sorry to hear that Jim.
