Changed technologies

Ruby has been having dreams! Dreams of being a steam engine and powering through the skies! Ruby is my bike that is electrically powered. Its history and the future together!

I used our wonderfully creative and real Steam Engine that is positioned in Oamaru’s Steam Punk area. You put some money in, and the Steam Engine’s whistle shrieks through the area plus the noise of the road signals! I get nervous every time I hear it having heard it in my long distant past!

Three good things;
1. I had a vision for this picture and it came out almost the way I thought.
2. Bought a fresh ciabatta, Whitestone Cheese, beetroot, leeks and radish at the Farmers Market just by this area. Lunch at home was superb!
3. Snow is forecast! John asked Siri, "what is the outside temperature”? and Siri replied, “I can’t find any Egyptian restaurants”!
Wonderful and creative comp and POV, Maggie! LOL at Siri! That is too funny!

I have absolutely no idea where your mind is going right now ;)

@kwiksilver haha, Gillian - John just said to me, "Guess what?" and I replied not thinking, "You're mad and I'm not"! He said to me, "how do you know?
May 25th, 2015  
Perfect execution to the shot! I LOVE how Siri twists our conversations! It makes for some great entertainment! Loved John's response to you as well!
May 25th, 2015  
@grammyn Thanks Katy - Siri provides endless entertainment - but she never laughs!
May 25th, 2015  
@maggiemae She's missing out!
May 25th, 2015  
Very cool! Fav!
May 25th, 2015  
Fabulous and creative processing. Sounds fun!
May 25th, 2015  
Wow... really amazing processing. Super, to convey Ruby's "dreams." Isn't it great, when our result comes close to our vision? Siri and I don't chat a great deal... she has trouble understanding me! :)
May 25th, 2015  
You did this really well, fav
May 25th, 2015  
@rosiekerr I get annoyed with her because she interrupts me or someone all the time - so does the lady on the GPS!
May 25th, 2015  
Very good picture! I love the feeling and processing. (:
May 25th, 2015  
Such a great image - looks more like a nightmare though.
May 25th, 2015  
@snaphappi Well it is important as to what is on top - a steam engine or an electric bike! ....this bike is so silent -too!
May 25th, 2015  
Very artfully composed! Love the color.
May 25th, 2015  
@congaree Thanks John, - that colour was quite difficult - involved several photographs and layering but eventually after a bit of heavy duty words, I had to stop!
May 25th, 2015  
very cool, nicely done
May 25th, 2015  
Typically clever compilation. Fabulous. Fav
May 25th, 2015  
@tonydebont Your nice words, "typically' make me feel as if I've accomplished something in my history of 365! Thank you!
May 25th, 2015  
great result ...my legs dream constantly that i'm a robot in reality i often feel more like a lead figure LOl
May 25th, 2015  
@maggiemae No question about that. I've followed you for some years and always enthralled by your creativity.
May 25th, 2015  
@steeler You must be talking about dreaming - and your legs just don't work?
May 25th, 2015  
you are an artist
May 25th, 2015  
A wonderful photograph I lke the processing .
May 25th, 2015  
Really great processing. You're so clever.
May 25th, 2015  
Creativity must be in your bones, this is so well done, all the layers superimposed to create an imaginative shot
May 25th, 2015  
Love the shot and that exchange with Siri is so funny!
May 25th, 2015  
fabulous shot. Just curious why you didn't invite me over for lunch.
May 25th, 2015  
I like what you did with this
May 25th, 2015  
Siri is almost as bad as predictive texting! Love the composition !
May 25th, 2015  
Great composition. Very creative processing.
May 25th, 2015  
Wonderfully done and very evocative Maggiemae, fav.
May 25th, 2015  
It's a fabulous effect! That lunch sounds great. Siri can't understand me either!
May 25th, 2015  
Great image and 3 good things, nothing better than a steam engine :)
May 25th, 2015  
you are venturing in, with your electric bike, an era of long past! Your lunch sounds very yummy.
May 25th, 2015  
What, no Egyptian restaurants in your area?!! Come to think of it, I don't remember if I have ever been in one! This is really an extremely creative composition, and I love all the different elements in it. It really came out very nice.....BTW, your bike is really cool, AND, your 3 good things always make me hungry!! FAV!
May 26th, 2015  
@panthora No, not many Egyptians here! Lots of Japanese, Chinese and Italian - odd sort of collection!
May 26th, 2015  
Brilliant! Fav! So you see snow as a positive?
May 26th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Oh, definitely - everybody goes wild down here! Its seldom a problem!
May 26th, 2015  
This is really fancy processing! Very effective, Maggiemae!
May 27th, 2015  
Nice job! You're so creative.
May 27th, 2015  
siri is quite smart, isn't she? love the dreamy scene of the steampunk engine. wonder what siri would say if you put in your gps my address in canada? :-D
May 29th, 2015  
@summerfield I've worked it out to be just over 9000 miles Vikki!
May 29th, 2015
