car wash psychedelia

hello there


yes, i do indeed appreciate that, what with the date this was published being what it is, i perhaps should be doing some sort of Star Wars post. may the force be with you, etc. my feeling was that not too many people would be all that interested in thermal, psychedelic or VHS style image of Lobot, which is as far as my imagination stretched for something on that subject. so here we are instead, back at the car wash, look you see. 

perhaps i have robbed myself of a (potential) second post here, putting both, or if you like all two, of my new image styles in just the one post. i am beginning to feel, though, that the so-called psychedelic one is a bit poor. quite likely that thermal shall be the dominant style used. 


so far as i am aware the above was taken in thermal "style" mode. granted, it's not actual thermal imaging on the go, just colours being changed to give it that effect. not sure if i like this image entire, but the look of the sky behind the big soft floppy brushes is rather smart. 

indeed i did go to a car wash once more. that much, i suspect, you already knew, but it's worth confirming these things. for provenance, or (and most likely correctly) location, to the north, and closer to home. although this one, unexpectedly, cost as much as the one i used in that there London (innit) a little while ago. £5, for those concerned. 


just the one so-called psychedelic image for you, which is the one above. what i like about this, or find somewhat peculiar, is that it does pretty much (more or less) what i had expected the thermal one to do. and that would be a sort of quasi Predator like vision thing. if you really, really have not much else better to do a sort of squint towards the left of the image will reveal the reflection of me (moi) and my phone, sort of cloaked in the psychedelia, reflected in the window. oh. 

how did the car wash go? not bad, i suppose. the job asked of it, or tasked posed, which for the sake of clarification was to wash the vehicle i had gone into it with, was done as it should be. considering the nature of some people i have every confidence that someone, now and then, makes a complaint that their car or what have you didn't quite get washed as they expected. some are never pleased. 


stating the obvious would be to suggest the above image appears to show my windscreen getting washed with fire water. if fire water exists, or is a thing. actually, i am reasonably sure there's one sort of alcohol based drink or another of that name. no, it was not (so far as i am aware) used as part of my car wash experience. but i cannot state as fact entire, just reasonable assumption. 

would i ever consider using a car wash without documenting it? this i have done, just obviously there's no posts for such. another question could possibly be one of if i would ever take just "regular" images whilst at a car wash. not sure if one or two have slipped in to posts, to be honest. mostly, i would suspect, the answer is no. making much of this paragraph a waste of time. sorry. 


being honest would be to say yes, i am "intrigued" by the odd dots which crop up in these thermal pictures of the windscreen. perhaps they are just dots of water, or something or other on the main crux of the car wash mechanism. still, i suppose they add some sense of character, or what have you, to the images. 

anyway, as usual there isn't too much i can add beyond "recently i used a car wash". let it be so that whatever you did on this particular Star Wars day was most excellent. 



live long and prosper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
