My daughter-in-law is very creative with old metal zippers. She makes fabulous jewelry that looks fantastic! Some time last year I modeled some of her pieces so she could take photographs for her etsy site. Here are a few you might enjoy.
Check out Fiona’s website http://kinaweradesigns.wordpress.com/ to see more of her creative zipper constructions and other wearable art……. and you can find more entries in the A-Z Challenge here.

One of our favourite corners of Ireland is Conemarra in County Galway on the west coast. When we were there in 2006 we stayed in a tiny cottage on a bare slope, where there were more stones than grazing land. The waterways were virtually deserted, just right for peaceful reflection and sketching. Nearby was the most picturesque fishing harbor, a little town called Roundstone, with a seafood restaurant. We dined at ODowd’s, and watched the sun set over the Twelve Pins (or Bens), and lights slowly come on around the bay.

This photo was taken in the railway station at Bordeaux, or should I say la Gare de Bordeaux Saint Jean? The beautiful old station buildings hide a roof designed by Gustave Eiffel! The natural lighting makes photography easy here.
In September we will be returning to this railway station, once again visiting our friends at Perigueux in the Dordogne. For the first time we will hire a car as well as traveling by TGV, inspired by our Paris-dwelling son who will be accompanying us. So in what will seem like no time at all there will be fresh photos from the south of France!

Quay on Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour
The industry on Cockatoo Island has long since ceased. We visited for a spectacular art exhibition, the 17th Biennale of Sydney. You can just see the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background of this photo. It was a rainy day, so this photo from the ferry window as we returned to Circular Quay is rather unclear.
