   Get Patched! Leather Workshop

   Get Patched is the place to get your leather patches made and applied, or repairs made to your leather gear - they even do custom footwear, bags and lots more! With big name clients, including world-class stunt rider Joelene Van Vugt (who I watched with awe when she appeared in the TV show Nitro Circus), you can be sure your leather goods will be in expert hands. Our classic car club went on a cruise to meet Jan and Roy at their business premises in Apsley, western Victoria.
   
   Figuring the workshop, situated in an former garage with south-facing (shade side) windows, would be challenging to shoot in, I took my GX7 and Canon FD 50mm f1.8 + Pixco Roxsen focal reducer.
   
   I asked Jan if she could make me a hair barrette, based on one I took with me, and to my surprise she immediately grabbed a roll of thick, black leather and I had it in my hair in no time!
   
   Here's the shop front, where they've screened the windows with perforated murals - from inside, you wouldn't know you're looking through a screen:
   
   Looking across Jan's workbench, through the screens at the end window. Isn't that amazing?

   Butte, MT at Blue Hour

   I went driving around Butte. This city gets a bad rap for some reason, but Historic Uptown is very cool. The head frames, which are all former mines, are lit up in red, which really is an impressive sight.

   The road to Nordkapp & back again

   I didn't want to be too picture heavy in my Nordkapp thread, so here are some pictures from the way to and from. I have posted some pictures in other threads from this journey such as "Show Bridges", "Show Churches", "Show Roads and Tracks" and "National Park Photos", so I will not include them here.

   July Photo Contest - The Road Less Traveled

   July is a month for travel: the Northern hemisphere is in "vacation mode" for the summer. And while most people with mobile phones are interested in hitting the "Instagram famous" location I would like to see off-the-beaten path images, away from crowds.
   The theme I propose is "The Road Less Traveled".

   California's Big Sur, above and below the surface

   I recently spent a few days on a live aboard dive boat off of Big Sur. The coastline in the area is pretty rugged, and in 10 years of diving I've never had so much bottom time without seeing trash or other signs of humans. That's pretty remarkable, especially considering the traffic just a short distance away on Hwy 1.
   We departed from Morro Bay, where we found some sea otters right in the marina. Nom!
   
   One of the first dive sites we hit was called "square black rock" for some reason (passing vehicle added for scale).
   
   The visibility wasn't great for the first couple of days, as you can tell from this shot of a school of blue rockfish. You can get a sense of the biomass that cold water can support- each of these guys is about a foot long or so, and very tasty.
   
   Sea lions
   
   Action shot! The other 3 dudes in my group were spearfishing, and they brought back a nice amount of fish. They even shared some with the rest of the boat, making for a couple of
   
   One of my favorite lenses is the Olympus 30mm macro; the poor viz gave me the perfect opportunity to switch to close-up work. Dendronotid nudibranch and a passing gopher rockfish.
   
   Strawberry anemone and a giant barnacle
   
   The cold waters of our Pacific coast have our own version of Nemo fish; painted greenlings (like this juvenile) often take advantage of the protection of larger anemones
   
   Some greenlings continue this practice as they get older
   
   McWay Falls is a popular stop for tourists, and we were no exception (we just got a much better view). This is considered a tidefall, as it typically falls directly into the ocean- we just happen to catch it at low tide.
   
   Erosion can be very, very expensive...
