March 10 2004:
Artistic Licence

Hope I don't get too much stick from this set-up. Its not meant to be particularly accurate but I can see I've placed the Emerald Isle rather too far south and of course they do not use the UK currency in the Republic, especially as it has the Queen's head on!
Still, it was a bit of fun as I seem to have accumulated a fair amount of loose change recently. I have to use it for something!
Oh yeah, our coins aren't really this colour either...

Rule Britania! Shouldn't it be one of the pink bits? Cool shot!
Guest 13-Mar-2004 17:34
A very creative idea which is well-executed. I love it!

Mark,
Cornwall I'm afraid, is represented by just a penny coin, and is in the far south western corner of England, on a peninsular. In the middle of Britain you will see a brighter £2 coin with rings, and this is somewhere near Ian with John the next coin up. ~~~Ray.

Very cool Ray. Is Cornwall represented by the proper, high value coin? I have no idea of the value of any of these.

Is Penny Lane on this map?

Good one Ray.

good work! neat idea
Guest 11-Mar-2004 12:49
LOVE the hues and lighting of this abstract shot, Ray. Very well done! :>
David Mingay11-Mar-2004 11:06
You should have thrown a bucket of water over it to make it more realistic!
snootydog11-Mar-2004 05:32
verrrrrrrrrrry clever and very nicely done. I'm thinking though... shouldn't you have hued it green rather than blue or would that have just been too darn obvious?
Linda Vich11-Mar-2004 03:30
What a cool idea, Ray! What made you decide on the blue tone for the Emerald Isle?

very clever Mr Pettit, very clever indeed
Guest 11-Mar-2004 01:44
When you run out of ideas... look at your pocket! Fun idea.
Si Kirk10-Mar-2004 23:20
Devon a meagre 2p? should have been a £2 coin, nice idea Ray very original
Guest 10-Mar-2004 23:01
Very inventive, very cool [Brittania]!
Guest 10-Mar-2004 21:30
Really cool and nice shot.
Guest 10-Mar-2004 21:01
Cool! Very nice indeed. Love the colors you used for that. Great shot.
Jill10-Mar-2004 20:58
And you used your artistic licence well. Very creative. Although I am disappointed that this is not the real color of your currency.
jeanb10-Mar-2004 20:46
That is very creative Ray. I especially like the blue lighting - or did you play with the colouring?
Ian Chappell10-Mar-2004 20:42
I nearly said "What is it?" but I can see it now... It's Noddy chasing Big Ears - Nice!
Franziska Lang10-Mar-2004 20:25
Very cool and instantly recognizable! Like the lighting, too.
Guest 10-Mar-2004 20:25
Ray this is such an amazing idea!!! Where on earth (haha no pun intended) did you come up with it? Fabulous shot, great set up and I like the cool tones.
Linda Alstead10-Mar-2004 20:20
very cool
Pall Gudjonsson10-Mar-2004 20:18
Brilliant idea Ray - extremely well done.
Wonder if you can afford to show us the whole world this way , or if we should send you our own currency for you to make it truly global and international :-)
