The character first appeared in the debut issue of the comic book Batman on April 25, 1940. <br /> <br /> In his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind. Introduced as a psychopath with a warped, sadistic sense of humour.<br /> <br /> As Batman's nemesis, the Joker has been part of the superhero's defining stories.<br /> <br /> The Joker has had various possible origin stories during his decades of appearances. The most common story involves his falling into a tank of chemical waste that bleaches his skin white and turns his hair green and lips bright red; the resulting disfigurement drives him insane. The antithesis of Batman in personality and appearance, the Joker is considered by critics to be his perfect adversary.<br /> <br /> A studio session with Jack Walsh (@jackwalsh ) who is a photographer / model with a love for all things comics at MainShoot Photography Studio.<br /> <br /> Poison Ivy is the alter ego taken by Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, an eco-terrorist and prominent enemy of Batman. First appearing in Batman #181, she is depicted as one of the world's most prominent eco-terrorists, motivated by an obsession with plants, misandry, botany, and extremist environmentalism with a desire to save the world from the evils of man through any means necessary. <br /> <br /> A genius scientist and meta-human with hybridized plant DNA, Poison Ivy uses mutant plants, will-bending pheromones and toxins from plants and her own bloodstream for her criminal activities.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/anubis11/">Grab a shot</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/anubis11/53677502126/" title="The Joker"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677502126_ca273833c9_m.jpg" width="164" height="240" alt="The Joker" /></a></p> <p>The Joker is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

It was all going on at Portreath as Kathleen thrashed the cliffs, the beach and the Monkey Hut at high tide on an exhilarating Saturday afternoon. By now we’d stood on the cliffs beside the pepperpot, and we’d watched the action from Dead Man’s Hut, where we had to queue patiently for a front row view. Finally, we headed down to the beach. Not on the beach - that wasn’t happening unless you were wearing a wetsuit, preferably with a long leash tied around an ankle with the other end tethered to a bollard in the car park. But on the small esplanade between the car park and the beach, reduced to shingle after a particularly vigorous winter season.<br /> <br /> I don’t come to Portreath that often. It’s not even five miles away from our front door, but I have a habit of overlooking it, despite the obvious attractions. In warmer months I’ve often coasted down the cycle trail for an ice cream on the front before puffing my way back up the slope in a very low gear, sometimes stopping for coffee at the farm campsite and cafe that friends of mine run. Occasionally there will be some form of family gathering there, usually for a child’s birthday party in summer. But apart from that, I just pass on through, usually heading for Godrevy, and then only if in an idle moment I’ve decided to take the coast road. But when there’s a storm, this is the first place I always think of. Porthleven on the south coast often has the biggest waves, but I rarely drag myself over that way.<br /> <br /> I should really come to Portreath more often. The crumbling coastal path in both directions remains largely unexplored on my part, and I suspect there are some rather good views along those cliffs that change with every passing winter as another few hundred tons of loose rock slide into the ocean. From here it’s a short but strenuous hike east to Porthtowan, or a slightly longer one to Godrevy, via North Cliffs and Hell’s Mouth. Another famous landmark where I’ve never taken a photo. What on earth have I been doing, you might ask?<br /> <br /> As storms go, Kathleen was a tame puppy in comparison to some of the hoolies we’ve witnessed here. There’s no way some of the monstrous assaults on our coastline would have seen surfers taking to the water, but nine or ten of them were already bobbing about on the waves when we arrived, and another was about to join the party. Or was he? For fifteen or twenty minutes he edged back and forth - never coming inside or anywhere near the third in my frame I might add - watched by a crowd of day trippers who’d come to enjoy the elements in the couple of hours during which it had somehow remained dry. I’d already changed from the long lens, set up the tripod and popped a filter on, hoping to catch the sea dragging back around his ankles, and now I was just willing him to stand still, at least a teensy bit in from the edge of the frame as I clunked away at the shutter with each receding carpet of white foam. Finally he saw something that the rest of us couldn’t, and plodded off into the water. With a winter wetsuit and a pair of fins on his feet, I could only imagine how exciting it would be to nail those waves today. Not long afterwards it began to rain hard, and we raced back to the car and headed home to put the kettle on. <br /> <br /> I love how this one turned out, with the bodyboarder gazing enigmatically out to sea, calculating the conditions as he waits. The first thing that I liked was the wake created in the surf as the water flowed back around our hero’s legs. That alone made this my instant choice from the group of shots I took here. But when I looked closer on the big screen, everything about the day was here. Another roller about to explode extravagantly over the poor maligned Monkey Hut on the end of the breakwater. A wall of white spray groping for holds on the side of the porous cliffs, on top of which sits the lonely Pepperpot. A car driving up Lighthouse Hill, seemingly oblivious to events going on around it. And if you look in, you’ll see the huddle at the Dead Man’s Hut, some of them armed with expensive camera gear, while others are just enjoying the experience. And just below them, the young man leaning over the railings with a woman near him thinking she’s safe. Just a few exposures later, the space is swamped by a wave - I’ve seen plenty of people take a soaking there on days like this. I’m sure some of them do it for kicks.<br /> <br /> If ever you asked me to show you a picture that described the place, I’d look no further. Visceral, effervescent, bristling with white water, and always some crazy soul armed with a board, prepared to take it all on for that unforgettable ride. This is Portreath and it’s never dull.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/127572835@N07/">mark.griffin52</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/127572835@N07/53677577934/" title="Woodland Slope"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677577934_353da0ff01_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Woodland Slope" /></a></p> <p>Walk in Pavis Wood, Tring.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/127572835@N07/">mark.griffin52</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/127572835@N07/53677223631/" title="An Ancient Landscape"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677223631_5d75098c8f_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="An Ancient Landscape" /></a></p> <p>Misty Saturday morning walk at Pitstone Hill.<br /> <br /> The Iron Age Fort.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/oxfordshirechurches/">Oxfordshire Churches</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/oxfordshirechurches/53677393533/" title="Chatsworth, Derbyshire"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677393533_151e15caaf_m.jpg" width="162" height="240" alt="Chatsworth, Derbyshire" /></a></p> <p>Chatsworth House<br /> <br /> Chatsworth is home to the 12th Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family.<br /> <br /> Grade I Listed<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.chatsworth.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.chatsworth.org</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatsworth_House" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatsworth_House</a><br /> <br /> <br /> The Sculpture Gallery<br /> <br /> Created by the 6th Duke between 1818 and 1834.<br /> <br /> The sculptures are still displayed as they were at the end of the Duke’s lifetime, in 1858.<br /> <br /> The collection features works by some of the most celebrated sculptors of the age, including John Gibson (1786-1866), Rudolph Schadow (1786-1822), Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) and Antonio Canova (1757-1822).<br /> <br /> <br /> Napoleon <br /> <i>by Antonio Canova</i><br /> Date Unknown<br /> Marble</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/132335712@N05/">jacklowry47</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/53677572875/" title="(NEW) Here Come The Drums, (1/2)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677572875_185cbe840d_m.jpg" width="240" height="161" alt="(NEW) Here Come The Drums, (1/2)" /></a></p> <p>File: 2022004-0658<br /> <br /> <b>Junctions of Baldwin Street, Colston Ave, and Anchor Road,</b> Bristol, South West of England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 9th of July 2022.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <b><u>About the photograph.</u></b><br /> <br /> This photo was taken not very far from the end of the parade march through the city centre. The photo was taken outside of the <b>Tesco Express</b> on Baldwin Street, not very far from the junction with Colston Ave.<br /> <br /> You may think that myself as a deaf person, can’t hear the drums, but don’t forget that loud banging sounds carry through the air in the form of shockwaves. I could feel the boom, boom, boom, of the drum beat in the air when I was close enough.<br /> <br /> So I looked around for what I think is either a big marching band or something similar, and found those people, a group of drummers, banging away on their drums.<br /> <br /> I walked along with them, moving around them, trying to find useful shots from various viewpoints.<br /> <br /> I went with them for a while, until Anchor Road and St Augustine’s Parade splits off near Harbourside.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <b><u>About the event.</u></b><br /> <br /> <b>Bristol Pride</b> is an annual festival held over couple of weeks, promoting equality for the various LGBT+ people, with a march through the city at a weekend.<br /> <br /> The Bristol Pride started life in 1977 as a fundraiser for the local LGBT community, and evolved into an annual event held every year. There was a gap of only some years between 1994 to 2010 when it was restarted.<br /> <br /> The 2022 march started at Castle Park, near Castle Street. The route took them past Cabot Circus, and went around the major shopping area by using The Horsefair and Union Street, and as they went down Union Street, they headed towards Castle Park. When they reached Castle Park, they turned into Wine Street, went into High Street, and into Baldwin Street, headed towards the A38 which is Anchor Road. This route took them into Canon’s Road, and ended up near the Bristol Aquarium. <br /> <br /> The march was said to take about an hour, but as a photographer whom would go back and forth, up and down the line, looking for good shots, it took me at least a couple of hours to complete the route.<br /> <br /> After the march, those whom bought tickets, can attend an evening musical festival at The Downs, approximately to the north-west of city centre. I did not attend this event, and by the time I got back to my friend’s home, I was worn out from the heat.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>You are welcome to comment on my photos, but do NOT use <i>canned comments,</i> which are pre-prepared comment codes that talks more about the groups than about my photos.
