Afternoon Light on Flowers
These two flowers caught the afternoon light on the side of the road as I was heading to Fortesque (Tasmania) to camp the night. Unfortunately the road was closed due to the recent downpours (dirt road) so I doubled back to Nubeena and stayed at the White Beach Tourist Park which was a great little spot.
Thanks Aliz for letting me know what they are :)

O Venus, joy of men and gods,
Forsake for once thy blest abodes ...
Quit Paphos and the Cyprian Isle
To reign o'er my Duck Island.
Sir Charles Hanbury-Williams
-----------------------------------------------------
While the rest of London rioted, I thought I'd show everyone a different side of the city. As it turns out, quite by accident. I was working late and came out around sunset. I had my camera and tripod with me, so thought I'd meander my way slowly to a tube station. I headed toward Westminster and aimed to get the Houses of Parliament. Again. By the time I'd gotten there, the sun had gone to low and all the clouds cleared up.
Not one to give up easily, I headed towards the bigest cloud formation I could see. This took me into St James's park. Quite by happenstance I spied this quaint little cottage to which I'd never set eyes on before. "What a quaint little cottage! I've never set eyes on this before!" I said to myself. It reminded me of the gingerbread and cake cottage from Hansel and Gretel, the Brothers Grimm fairytale. "I shall take this photo!", I exclaimed out loud! Passing people stared at me like I was a lunatic. I can only assume the riots had made them jumpy.
I decided to process this to give it a more fairytale feel in keeping with my vision. This really deserves to be viewed large and black; it adds a lot, especially to this photo.
It turns out that this little place is the headquarters of the London Parks & Gardens Trust and was built in 1841 as a bird keeper's cottage. It sits upon Duck Island in the St James's Park Lake. At the end of the lake, where you can see the last remnants of the sunset, you can just make out Buckingham Palace.

Ex-UBS Banker Charged in Tax-Shelter Case
NEW YORK—A former UBS AG banker has been charged with helping American taxpayers hide more than $215 million from U.S. authorities in secret Swiss bank accounts, prosecutors said Thursday.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have alleged that Gian Gisler, a former client adviser at UBS, allegedly helped U.S. taxpayers and others hide money in their Swiss accounts from the mid-1990s to at least 2010. He allegedly helped more than 38 U.S. taxpayers manage more than 60 hidden accounts, prosecutors said.
Mr. Gisler, 45 years old, left UBS in 2008 when it became public that the Swiss bank was the subject of a probe by U.S. tax authorities. He allegedly continued with the conduct at two other Swiss asset-management firms, prosecutors said.
As part of the case, Mr. Gisler, together with his U.S. clients, allegedly used sham entities to hide the bank account and the income they generated from the Internal Revenue Service, prosecutors said.
Mr. Gisler, who resides in Zurich, is the second former UBS banker to be charged criminally by U.S. authorities this week. He has been charged with one count of conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison.
Mr. Gisler remains in Switzerland and it is unclear if he will come to the U.S. to face charges. A lawyer for Mr. Gisler couldn't immediately be located Thursday.
The U.S. has been aggressively cracking down on taxpayer funds hidden overseas.
In 2009, UBS admitted to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government of billions of dollars in taxes by helping wealthy Americans hide taxes. As part of an agreement to avoid criminal charges, the Swiss bank turned over the names of 4,000 U.S. account holders and paid a $780 million fine.

That's Your Sister?

Sinead and John Kerr at the European Figure Skating Championships in January in Tallinn, Estonia. Ice dancing often requires partners to convey believable sizzle on ice.
Vancouver, British Columbia -- When Alexandra Zaretsky takes to the ice in Olympic ice-dancing competition Friday, she'll look deep into her partner's eyes as they skate the "Tango Romantica."
But not too deep. That's because her partner is her brother, 26-year-old Roman Zaretsky. "We try to find ways to kind of look through—or look a little up, or a little sideways," says Ms. Zaretsky. "Hey, you gotta act."
Olympics: Sibling Skaters 'Sizzle'
1:36
Some ice skating pairs will have to feign attraction more so than others -- at least, for those that are related. WSJ's Geoffrey Fowler talks with Kelsey Hubbard about four pairs of sibling ice skaters that have to "sizzle" on the ice.
They're not the only ice dancers in this particular pickle. Four of the 23 ice-dancing pairs competing at the Vancouver Games are brother and sister. And this year, they're all required to complete a compulsory portion of competition by doing the forbidden dance.
How do you tango with your sibling? "We get that question a lot," says Israeli Ms. Zaretsky—as do all of the siblings competing here.

Cathy Reed and Chris Reed from Japan perform during the Ice Dance compulsory dance event of the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships.
Ice dancing, arguably the most artistic of any Olympic sport, requires a certain believable sizzle on the ice in order to capture a medal. "The training is a sport, but the performance is an art," says Sinead Kerr, 31, of Great Britain, who is dancing with her brother John.
Ice dancing, which was added to the Games in 1976, blends elements of figure skating and ballroom dancing. Partners stick close together throughout the routine, doing spins as a team while holding hands. Ice dancers have to perform three times: a compulsory dance in which all the teams do the same moves and use the same music (this time, it's the "Tango Romantica"), a two-minute original dance to a set theme (this year it's folk/country), and a four-minute free dance of the team's choosing.
Ice dancers learn to become actors of sorts. "Our coach told us envision someone else's head is there," says Chris Reed, 20, who dances with his sister Cathy for Japan. "It's all an act."

Christina and William Beier perform during the free dance at the German Figure Skating Championships 2010.
Mr. Reed watches videos of his own performance, and uses mirrors to practices his moves and even his facial expressions. His tango look is "serious but endearing," says Ms. Reed, who is 22.
Mr. Kerr, 29, says that dancing with his sister means he is prevented from developing romantic themes in performance. (Their tango will be more like a fight between two people, he says.)
"On the ice, we don't think of each other as brother and sister," he adds.
Ruling out romance also forces them to be more creative, and act out different sorts of roles on the ice, he says. In 2008, they performed a routine dressed as space aliens. In the Vancouver Games, they are dancing one segment to Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere" with Ms. Kerr dressed as a truck driver and Mr. Kerr as a hitchhiker. They will be telling the story of a driver who picks up a rider and then the two swap stories about their many adventures.

Even nonsiblings can have a hard time learning to express sizzle all while spinning and lifting their partner off the ground at dizzying speeds.
"Sometimes you need to emote those kinds of feelings like you are in love with her," says American skater Evan Bates, who has been ice dancing with his partner Emily Samuelson—to whom he is not related—for 10 years. Yet "it is so hard to develop that when you are 10 and 11 years old, and you are grossed out by girls," says Mr. Bates.
All ice-dancing relationships are strange, say athletes, because they involve spending countless intense hours with the same person, while trying to maintain a professional partnership. Sharing a family bond can smooth over disagreements about music, practice or career path. It has been proved to work before: During the 1992 Games, the French brother and sister team Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay won silver.

Roman and Alexandra Zaretsky at the European Figure Skating Championships.
Sibling ice dancing is more common than one might think. Noriko Reed, the mother of Chris and Cathy, says it wasn't her idea to pair her son and daughter. "It was just the luck of the ice dance coach that put them together," she said. A third Reed sibling, Allison, is also competing in ice dancing in Vancouver, for the Georgian team with Otar Japaridze.
Siblings can certainly fight. "Other couples also fight, but the way they do it is different," says German skater Christina Beier, 25, who competes with her brother William, 27. "We know exactly what you have to say if you want to hurt the other one."
After an injury, last season they even gave a try to dancing with new partners. "With others, it was harder," says Ms. Beier. "It is from nature that we move together. When we got back together, it was like we never split up."
For one dance in Vancouver, they will represent their own brother and sister relationship—starting with skating together as kids, then stretching to their breakup and reunion. "This is our story, so it is easier to tell," says Ms. Beier.
