Taken 48 years and 6 minutes after Ansel Adams took his iconic image
I wasn't able to get the shot at 4:14PM as he did, the sun was behind a cloud and the moon, of course, was nowhere to be seen. Because the trees have grown too tall to photograph
Half Dome from where he stood, I shot farther back, from the west side of the meadow...
...but I like it.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.

There's still minor updates I want to do on this model but the overall design is there. The transmission is reliable at max speed and during direction changes. Still missing directional lights and a detail pass.
“The pain of missing you is a beautiful reminder of the joy of loving you.” – Dean Jackson, The Love in Blue Verses
As I look back on all that's happened.
Growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me -- there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together.
As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you.
The past may be gone forever..and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow.
So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.
I was doing my work.....and watching pictures in Flickr......Lot of valentines day special pictures are uploading continuously.......so i tried a bit.....
To me love doesn't mean to live happily ever after together and forever.....Love doesn't mean to celebrate every things together.......To me love means.........Just loving, whether she is with you or not.......
Happy Valentines Day
I've been on a bit of a Flickr hiatus again. This time it has been for a sad reason, as Montana is no longer with us. After living 3 times longer than the average life expectancy for a cat diagnosed with congestive heart failure, his kidneys had enough.
We had to take him for an emergency veterinarian visit on Sunday, Feb. 26 where we learned that his kidneys were failing. We took him home to be in "kitty hospice", but by Monday noon, Feb. 27, he took a major turn for the worse and lost the use of his front and back legs, so we had him put to sleep. We couldn't bare to watch him suffer. It is always a hard decision to make, but it was the right decision and I am at peace with it. I miss him terribly, but will always have those precious memories.
Mural featuring DJ Derek, the legendary Bristolian DJ who went missing in July 2015 and was still missing at the start of 2016. This mural, near the entrance to the legendary Flickr Alley, may have been created before Derek disappeared, the 'Have you seen this man' writing looks as if it has been added later. Lets hope he does eventually turn up safe and well.

A flyer for a missing cat adorns one of those multiple-mailbox metal blocks that adorn suburbia. For a moment it makes me think of the people in my own life who have gone missing. I hope it finds its way back to its home.
This tenement block was severely damaged in an explosion several months ago, resulting in everyone being evacuated from neighbouring properties for a good while and the road below closed.
On an exercise walk this week the light was quite good, so I took a couple of photos - it looks so peculiar to see a portion of the building just gone, covered with temporary wooden panels. It looks almost like one of those "cutaway" drawing that show the inner design of structures to let you see how they work.
Of course it isn't a cutaway design, it's a missing piece of what were people's homes, now gone. Sadly a life was lost in the explosion which destroyed this part of the block, although it could have been even worse given the end wall overlooks a school playground and the rubble fell in there (fortunately no children were there at the time). Scary how even the place we feel most secure can suddenly be taken apart.

I'm missing you!

Tewksbury State Hospital
Tewksbury, MA
October 26, 2019
The hospital was established in 1852 as one of three state almshouses needed to help care for the unprecedented influx of immigrants into Massachusetts at that time. The almshouses were the Commonwealth's first venture into caring for the poor, a duty which had previously been carried out by the cities and towns. Opened on May 1, 1854 with a capacity for 500, the almshouse population grew to 668 by the end of the first week, and to over 800 by May 20th. By December 2, 1854, 2,193 "paupers" had been admitted. Nearly 90% of these listed European countries as their birthplace. The almshouse reported having 14 employees at that time, and was spending 94.5 cents per week per resident.
In 1866 the almshouse began accepting the "pauper insane" becoming the state's first facility to specifically accept cases with the diagnosis of chronic insanity. By 1874 the facility had become diversified: 40% was used as a mental illness ward, 27% as a hospital ward, and 33% as an almshouse. The chronically ill population continued to grow, alcoholics were admitted for treatment, and programs providing therapeutic industrial and occupational therapy were added in the 1870's. A Home Training School for Nurses was established in 1894, and the school became a full-fledged three-year program in 1898.
The most famous patient in the almshouse during the 19th century was Anne Sullivan, who later became the tutor and companion of Helen Keller. Anne Sullivan spent four years at the almshouse (1876-1880) before being transferred to the Perkins School for the Blind, now located in Watertown, Massachusetts. At age 20 she left the school to go to Helen Keller's home in Alabama. One of the buildings on today's Tewksbury Hospital Campus is named for Ms. Sullivan.
Reflecting its changing mission, the Tewksbury Almshouse became Tewksbury State Hospital in 1900, the Massachusetts State Infirmary in 1909, and Tewksbury State Hospital and Infirmary in 1938. Over the years, facilities were added for treating tuberculosis and other contagious diseases such as smallpox, venereal diseases and typhoid fever. Meanwhile it continued to serve as a last resort for many patients in need of shelter and supervised care, especially during the late 1920's and 1930's.
I never cared for politics, and speeches I don't understand,
And likewise never took no charity from any living man
But tonight there's fifty thousand gone in that unhappy land
And fifty thousand 'Heart and Soul's' being played with just one hand.
— Steve Goodman, in "Ballad of Penny Evans
