My original intention was to make cheese and onion muffins today, but the day hasn’t worked that way. So here is a a photo I took this morning instead. It’s one of the 10,000 Yonis of Mother Earth (as in Hinduism and in Jung).
And here, in case anyone is too confused, is the original image straight from the camera.
Surfing the intertubes, as you do, I have just happened upon an Australian men’s underwear and swimwear company called …
In my defence I was actually looking for swimwear!
I can’t help feeling that only Australians would get away with it!

Paid a flying visit today to the Kew Bridge Steam Museum in west London, which occupies a former waterworks site. Amongst the exhibits of enormous steam-driven beam engines for pumping water I found this tablet, obviously from an original waterworks site in east London. I shall definitely go back to take more photographs.
I thought I should start this year’s Thing-a-Day with a self portrait, but given that I look so scruffy as well as fat and unfit it seemed better to doctor the results in PaintShopPro! So here I am this morning standing outside the supermarket.

Thanks to IanVisits I’ve just spotted what looks to be a fascinating exhibition at the British Library, from April 2010.
Maps can be works of art, propaganda pieces, expressions of local pride, tools of indoctrination … Opening in April 2010, Magnificent Maps showcases the British Library’s unique collection of large-scale display maps, many of which have never been exhibited before, and demonstrates why maps are about far more than geography.
And it’s free! Has to be worth a visit.
Just spotted this interesting looking lecture at the British Library in London on Saturday 6 March … Lewis Carroll and photography: Exposing the truth will be given by Carroll scholar Edward Wakeling.
I’ve just signed up for this year’s Thing-a-Day which means I also now have a Posterous account. Aarrrgggghhhhh!!!! Yes this is another blogging tool I really didn’t need. But hey, ho!
This is really by way of a test message to see how posting by email to Posterous actually works – and where the results end up!

As always the photographs are not mine so please click on individual links below to see each artist/photostream. This mosaic is for a group called My Meme, where each week there is a different theme and normally 12 questions to send you out on a hunt to discover photos to fit your meme. It gives you a chance to see and admire other great photographers’ work out there on Flickr.
