It was made in Japan using the stamped-metal-tab-joints method before plastic was readily available. Back then in the post WWII era, Japan was getting back on its' feet and 'Made in Japan' was an indicator of low cost items. How things have changed. I sold it, and several other toys that I had kept, on eBay before moving to Uruguay; hence, this photo. I did change to a seamless backdrop (the bedsheet draped in a different way) for more photos. 'Royal Mail Canada' changed its' name in the late 1960's to 'Canada Post' and became a crown corporation rather than a department of the government. For those not in the Commonwealth, the ER is Elizabeth Regina (Queen Elizabeth).

Once again, Thanx Glenn. Another version followed by layers used.

Thanx for posting, Glenn. I have no idea what I was trying to accomplish here; but, here it is and these are the layers I used in PS.

tom_r, it would all be very innocent. I'm more worried about her overdoing it than me. In some plot twists, the villain stages their own death to 'pin' it on an unsuspecting person who ultimately pays the 2nd highest price of the crime. All said in fun. I think I speak for both of us when I say that life without each other would be very difficult.

After 3 years here in Uruguay, discovering what grows here, and much planning, we have implemented over the past month the landscape plan that my horticulturalist spouse drew. 850 bricks, 48 bags of sand, 50mx2m of geotextile, 100 bags of gravel, 2 cubic m of top soil, etc, plus sod removal and excavations (by hand of course) and all material hauled from the front of the house to the back yard or the reverse........ She reads a lot of novels and watches TV shows that are crime based. I didn't notice the book or the program that was entitled "Death by Gardening". I can hear the villain say innocently: "he was just doing a bit of gardening when he fell over dead" .

This week did two things: it flew by quickly and took forever. I don't know how that fits with the current understanding of space-time. Here is a photo from Newfoundland. The sky really was that colour.

Thanx for posting this excellent image, Glenn. In Uruguay, this truck would be described as 'Showroom Condition'. This zoomed-in view highlights the "Fine Corinthian Leather" of the interior and the unique emblem on the door, which is sure to rival anything the competitors can offer in any price range.

Hi Mike. Adding the masks is good and timely statement! The photo was taken in 2011. I would not like to make anyone think that the good people of Quebec City were not wearing masks when advised to do so.

Fading into history. Selected combine and moved it to a new layer. Content aware fill for an expanded hole where the combine was. Brought back combine and changed the opacity.

What a beautiful photo you gave us, Glenn. I was struck by how 4 main colours struck my eye and how textures were striped across the image background. All of what I did was in LR as a black and white. Down with blue, orange, red and green and up with the yellows. I used the regional adjustment tool and added texture on the combine. For the cheese topping I applied a vignette.

And now for something a little different. Attached are 2 photos of an evening grosbeak female. Combine them if you wish, or treat either or both individually. I hope this doesn't go out of some unwritten bounds o_O.

Great image Glenn. Thanx for posting. The moon looked a little lonely in the sky so ..... I had an image of the moon on a dark blue sky. In PS, I took the little moon out and used the image I had as a layer above your image, did some re-sizing and changed the opacity of the moon layer. This affected the colour and luminosity of the whole image, which I liked (at the time).

I messed around with the exposure, blacks, whites, shadows, dehaze, etc. in LR then in PC I darkened the Angus cattle by putting a black fill layer under them, masking the cattle and using the linear light mode and opacity to get the right amount of darkness. The spherizing distortion was used because I was telling my wife we should get a 'bean' like they have in Chicago for our back yard (it'd be the only one in Uruguay!) and the 'bean' effect just popped into this! By the way, this photo was taken in 2011 in northern Ontario during an evening tour of a pasture research project. I couldn't get away from the backlight.

I hadn't really paid much attention to the painting behind the dog before. I was wondering why the dog was looking so innocent!
