Well, despite me not-so-very-happy mood, I can't take a break.
I confess... I'm addicted to photography. xD Kill me if that's a crime, but I can't take breaks like that .
So...back to the drawing board ^_^

Tires, a shoe and a spray paint can at the bottom of a pool at an abandoned recreation center in Victorville, CA.
These posters are all over around here. I've heard of people seeing them all over San Diego county, an area slightly larger than the States of Rhode Island and Delaware. Her parents still have hope, but think she was kidnapped. There is a website set up for her: www.bringamberhome.com/

I made an installation of 185 leaves on which I printed the faces of missing people. The installation was part of a site specific exhibition by the collective ELEVEN+ in Queens Wood, London Highgate. I let the wind blow the leaves away throughout the day. People of all ages interacted with the work, picking the leaves up, playing with them, bringing them back or taking them away. I'd be interested to find out from anyone who has found and kept one: how is it doing (is it still intact, in bits, etc) and where exactly are you keeping it.
Missing middle homes, like ADUs, backyard cottages, mother-in-law suites, duplexes, triplexes, low-rise apartments or townhouses, have long fit into urban neighborhoods, often providing rental and purchase options more affordable than single-detached houses.

Townhouse Photo by Mark E McClure
For the past two years, my wife and I have gone to the Philippines for a vacation in October. Though we are sad that we are not going this year, we are happy that we do get to experience our favorite season of the year, autumn. In the Philippines, there is no autumn or winter. Around this time and up until January, it's still about 90 degrees. It stays hot and humid all through what we call the winter season. So we missed autumn for the past two years. And we love autumn for several reasons. Football season starts, and it's the season of our wedding anniversary. October always reminds us of our honeymoon. And oh we just love how it's not too warm, and not too cold. This photo was taken in October 2007 at a resort in the Philippines. I miss this place, but I miss the fall just as much.
8 years ago a suspected case of arson saw The Holme, by then empty for a year receive serious structural damage. The Holme, in it's current incarnation had been built around 1603, with later additions in 1854 taking place. The building is Grade II listed, and yet is seriously at risk of further collapse in parts. Floors are missing, and the the roof has half gone. Oak beams lie rotting on sodden floors which have collapsed in places. Fragments of glass remain in the windows and the building seems to be slowly filling up with tyres. Without intervention, this beautiful hall, which originally had priest holes to conceal members of the clergy in more troubled times, will be beyond survival.
The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris.
German gunners used to target churches and cathedrals in France and Belgium, partly out of boredom, partly to practise their skills, but mainly because the height of such ecclesiastical buildings made them ideal observation posts for the Allies.
These buildings, along with châteaux and other large secular edifices, were literally sitting targets - they couldn't be moved or made smaller or camouflaged, hence the appalling damage that many of these beautiful buildings sustained from enemy artillery - they just had to sit there and take it.
Visé Paris no. 656
The card would have been published during or soon after the end of the Great War, because the reference to 'Visé Paris no. 656' indicates that the military authorities in the French capital had deemed that the image did not present a security risk.
Soissons
Soissons is one of the oldest towns in Northern France. During most of the Great War the town was behind the Franco-British lines, and was heavily bombarded before being captured by the Germans in May 1918.
tamu.edu have posted a review of a book called "Soissons, 1918" by D.V. Johnson II and R.L. Hillman Jr.
In the review they state:
"It is the last 5% of possible exertion that often wins the battle". Brigadier Gen. Hanson Ely's statement best exemplifies the efforts of his troops as part of the allied contingent at the Battle of Soissons, July 18-22, 1918.
At a cost of more than 12,000 soldiers and marines dead, wounded and missing, American troops struck the Germans with such force that they lost the initiative for the remainder of the war.
'Soissons, 1918' provides a detailed account of this pivotal battle in which partly trained, inexperienced American soldiers and marines turned the tide of war.
Despite strange French command methods, alien equipment (such as masses of tanks), immature American staff work, and difficulties in communicating with advancing troops, American enthusiasm and willingness to 'finish the job' briefly shattered German defences, caused panic, and ultimately unhinged the Germans' carefully prepared strategic plans".
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
