    Wake to light
    All these sub liminal messages take flight

    Damn this thread is awesome.

    Heading out to the reef, Nagigia, by D, it's shallow and that mountain behind is where they shot the first King Kong so the break is called King Kong lefts, for good reason.

    I'm still catching up on page 16. So much beauty to be-holding.

    Islander, your words are like photographs to me. They paint pictures that speak volumes.

    Can I just say, Ian, that that little shard gave me a frisson. And made me miss my Dad, hard. It was the word pottery that did it. :)

    Ian - thanks for the link to Simon Armitage's poetry reading - man he is good, low key droll even but full of poetic juice -
    His thoughts from a Sperm Whale's perspective -
    "Don't be taken in by the dolphins and their winning smiles
    They are the pickpockets of the ocean
    The gypsy children of the open waters
    They are laughing all the way to Atlantis "

    Delivered flat as - loved it
    Thanks

    You all make my day; the photographers and the wordsmiths. I'm inspired.

    thanks for the link to Simon Armitage’s poetry reading

    the way PAS works means thanks really should go to Lilith who initially posted the Inky Fool link, that she found via Kebabette, that I went to and found Broken Biro taking me to the Armitage clip and lotsa other stuff besides...

    I would like to echo the comments about how much I've been enjoying the intertwining of text and pictures in this thread, and thank all involved.

    Pixietown at the Early Settlers Museum.

    Well thank you, I always wondered what happened to Pixietown. Do they still have the nudist colony, with perverts peering over the fence, or the horribly gory dental surgery, where the dentist attacks a patient's jaw with a brace and bit?

    I'd like to know more about where Pixietown originated. I've heard that it used to be stashed at Tahunanui when it was off the road, on the property of a guy who built his own observatory from which he photographed UFOs. Unfortunately he built too close to some large pine trees, and falling cones punctured the observatory dome.

    In the late 70s I met a model railway enthusiast who'd made stuff for Pixietown. He'd recently been to Disneyland, and couldn't stop talking about the animatronic hillbilly bears he'd seen there. Their sheer technical finesse had shattered his will to contribute further to poor old Pixietown.

    OK, pushing it a bit, technically it's a photo, I scanned a thing I did and futzed with it. /awaits expulsion ;-)/

  • David Hood, in reply to Joe Wylie,

    It is a limited subset of the 'orginal' Pixietown, basically bits that were in good working condition when it came to the Early Settlers. There is a gold coin donation for restoration (or at least has been in past years, we haven't been this season yet).

    Thanks for the Pixietown info David, I'll definitely check it out next time I'm in those parts. The version I saw in my childhood was an elaborate tent sideshow, if you didn't mind the funkiness you certainly got your moneysworth. It was divided into themed areas, including a water-filled aquatic section complete with a pixified German submarine.
