Commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae. 17880
Balancing two forks on a toothpick hanging on the lip of a glass. My father has done this trick for years. The toothpicks and forks are completely hanging in the air off the lip of the glass! The forks, toothpicks and glasses are never the same but he always gets them to balance in the air without touching the table. I created two images of the one to try and get more attention as most people don't realize what an amazing thing this is. It is not a trick but it is magic because it is impossible to do unless you know how to do it. [86-112808].
Noch immer helfen die zwei Mintlinge 628 436/526 "Anna" und 628 486/673 "Maria" auf der RB53 zwischen Aulendorf und Kißlegg im württembergischen Allgäu aus. In absehbarer Zeit wird der Einsatz der beiden 628er allerdings zwangsweise enden, da sowohl „Anna“ als auch „Maria“ noch in diesem Frühjahr Fristablauf haben und diese voraussichtlich nicht erneuert wird. Davon noch völlig unbeirrt, verrichtete "Anna" im letzten März ihren Dienst auf der knapp 30 Km langen Strecke. Schon mittags waren mein treuer Begleiter Tim und Ich bei Matzenweiler unterwegs und schon da frueten wir uns über die recht klare Alpenkulisse, war doch genau dieses Panorama essentiell für das letzte Bild des Tages!
Und so fanden wir uns auch gegen 17 Uhr wieder in dem kleinen Weiler ein. Pünktlich tauchte "Anna" dann als RB 17880 in Richtung Aulendorf auf und präsentiert sich vor malerischer Kulisse! Danach wurde dann zufrieden der Heimweg angetrete.
INDONESIEN, Bali , malerische Reisfelder rund um Ubud,
Rund um Ubud ist das Klima feucht und bietet ideale Bedingungen für den Reisanbau. Man war nicht in Ubud, wenn man nicht einmal auf eigene Faust einen Spaziergang durch die endlosen Reisfelder in der Umgebung gemacht hat. Nur ein paar hundert Meter raus aus der Stadt findet man plötzlich Ruhe und Entspannung.

for december diary 2012: a few of my favourite things
I am not managing to take photos everyday, so on a couple of occasions have looked to the same day in a different year to see if I can find a few of my favourite things...I knew 2010 would yield a favourite thing or two - SNOW ...and winter flora
We don;t get a lot of snow. 2010 was the miracle year it started - literally - with snow and ended with snow. Very cold conditions with low humidity - another unusual for us.

What can I say..... here's my old stomping grounds of the past, with a whitewashed exterior. So, how did we get here?
Here's the backstory: In 2015, Walgreens and Rite Aid had announced that they were merging with each other. A couple of years later, they called off the merger due to rising antitrust concerns at the time. The merger was aborted, right? Later in 2017, Walgreens instead decided to buy half of the Rite Aid stores in several states, including North Carolina; the deal was subsequently completed by 2018.
This store, along with several others in Rowan County, were one of the many Rite Aids affected by the deal. Guess what? The two stores in Salisbury were closed due to their proximity to existing Walgreens stores; on the other hand, the Rite Aid in China Grove survived; however, it became the very Walgreens we see in this photo today. This store was originally an Eckerd that opened on September 24th, 2000, and later became a Rite Aid in the summer/fall of 2007.

Detail of the Morter family grave at Dilham, showing the two sons who died on active service in 1915. It seems the two sons, Arthur and Sidney, joined up together. They joined the Essex Regiment 1st Battalion with numbers 20575 and 20576, before both being transferred to the Norfolk Regiment, as 17880 and 17882. They were both part of the Egyptian Expeditionary Forces, set to defend the Suez Canal and British interests in Egypt from 'Senussi' Arab tribes in North Africa and from the Turkish Army, who controlled much of the Levant.
The brothers were sailing from Egypt to a new posting in Mudros Harbour, Lemnos (Greece) aboard the SS "Royal Edward" along with about 1500 other men. Thousands of troops had just been sent from Lemnos to Gallipoli, so it seems the men on Royal Edward would have been sent to reinforce the Greek base. On 13 Aug 1915 the unescorted transport ship was spotted by the Austrian submarine UB14 which was patrolling out of Bodrum, Turkey. UB14 fired one torpedo which hit the ship in the stern. Royal Edward sank quickly and only about 500 men were saved.
Both brothers had been Farm Labourers before the war. Their names are recorded on the Helles Memorial in Turkey.
The record of their younger brother Walter also survives. Joining up in 1915, he served in the Army Service Corps as a Shoeing Smith, serial number TS9944, responsible for keeping the many military horses booted. He was in the Home Service before being sent to Egypt. The Morters were a large family and had several younger sons and a daughter.

Outside Birmingham New Street Railway Station which is currently undergoing a £550m redevelopment scheme named Gateway Plus. Birmingham, West Midlands.
Birmingham New Street is the largest and busiest of the three main railway stations serving Birmingham, England. It is in the city centre and is a central hub of the British railway system. It is a major destination for Virgin Trains services from London Euston, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley via the West Coast Main Line, and the national hub of the CrossCountry network – the most extensive in Britain, with long-distance trains serving destinations from Aberdeen to Penzance. It is also a major hub for local and suburban services within the West Midlands, including those on the Cross City Line between Lichfield Trent Valley and Redditch and the Chase Line to Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley.
New Street is the eighth busiest railway station in the UK and the busiest outside London, with 32 million passenger entries and exits between April 2012 and March 2013. It is also the busiest interchange station outside London, with over 5.1 million passengers changing trains at the station annually.
The original New Street station was built in the Victorian era and had, when built, the largest single-span arched roof in the world. In the 1960s, the station was completely rebuilt. An enclosed station, with buildings over most of its span and passenger numbers more than twice those it was designed for, the replacement was not popular with its users, having a customer satisfaction rate of only 52% - the joint lowest of any Network Rail major station.
A £550m redevelopment of the station named Gateway Plus is currently under way. The redevelopment will include a new concourse, a new exterior facade, and a new entrance on Stephenson Street, and is expected be completed in September 2015. New Street will also become the terminus of the city-centre extension of the Midland Metro, with a new tram stop on Stephenson Street, also expected be finished by 2015.
Around 80% of train services to Birmingham go through New Street. The other major city-centre stations in Birmingham are Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill. On the outskirts, closer to Solihull, is Birmingham International, which serves Birmingham Airport and the National Exhibition Centre.

On the day
HMT Royal Edward, 11,117 grt, sunk 13th August 1915 by German submarine SMU UB14, 6 miles W from Kandeliusa, Aegean Sea, carrying goverment stores from Avonmouth & Alexandria to Mudros. Owned by Canadian Northern Steamships Ltd-Toronto. 132 crew died. Out of a total compliment of 1586 (crew and troops) less than 500 were saved.
1/Essex lost 174 O.R's, but 172 of them were volunteers who'd transfer from the Norfolk's (3rd Special Reserve) based at Felixstowe, 100 on 23 June and 200 on 24 July.
A passage from the History of Norfolk Regiment tells the …. story: Colonel Tonge refers to the loss of 300 men, the best draft that ever left Felixstowe. These men volunteered to join the Essex Regiment and appear to have constituted the drafts of June 23 and July 24 1915. They were part of the reinforcements carried by the transport "Royal Edward" which was torpedoed and sunk in the Aegean Sea on August 14th 1915. She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her. Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved, and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men.
The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal.
To partly replace this sad loss, another draft of 150 men to the Essex Regiment was dispatched on September 29, 1915.
Addenda 1994 From: "Men of Gallipoli"(David & Charles,1988) by kind permission of the publishers.
One of the features of the Cape Helles monument is the rows of names of men drowned in the torpedoing of the Royal Edward,which sank in the Eastern Mediterranean on 13th August with a loss of over 850 lives. A.T.Fraser in the Border Regiment,was in a deckchair on the afterdeck starboard side when suddenly dozens of men ran past him from port to starboard. The explosion came before he had time to ask what was the matter." The ship had no escort and we had not been ordered to have our life-belts with us. The hundreds on deck ran below to get their life-belts and hundreds below would have met them on their way up. I shared a cabin accessible from the deck I was on and I raced there to get my life-belt and ran to my life-boat station which was on the star- board side.
As the men arrived they fell in two ranks. Already the ship was listing and this prevented our boats from being lowered, so we were ordered to jump for it. I saw no panic,but of course one could imagine what was happening on the inside stairs. I swam away from the ship and turned to see the funnels leaning towards me.When they reached the sea,all the soot was belched out,there was a loud whoosh and the ship sank. No explosion,no surge. So I was alone. The little waves were such that in the trough you saw nothing, on the crest you saw a few yards. The water was warm. I wondered if there were sharks".
Fraser found some wood to rest on and he was joined by a seaman,an older man who had twice previously been torpedoed. This brought the young Scot confidence. An up turned Royal Edward lifeboat was to provide 17 of the survivors with a little more security though in what Fraser calls half-hourly recurring turbulence, the boat turned over, offering them conventional but completely waterlogged accommodation every alternate half hour but at least providing them with something to do. There was no singing and little conversation. The first ship that passed hailed the scattered men and promised to signal for help. It could not stop as it had high explosives for Lemnos. Some of the men became depressed and showed unwillingness to clamber back in the life boat when it overturned, but on each occasion all were persuaded.
Finally the hospital ship SOUDAIN arrived to pick them up in her life-boats,and at 2 o'clock Fraser was safely aboard her after just under five hours in the sea. He remembers that"a large number of men lost their false teeth as we were constantly sick in the sea- and these men were sent back to England. We the younger ones, were clothed and kitted and on another ship three days later for Gallipoli.

Arthur and his brother Sidney must have enlisted practically together as there is only one number between their respective serial numbers and then they volunteered together for the draft for the Essex Regiment, as can be seen by their consecutive serials numbers with their new unit. They were probably in the first draft - many of those in the second draft appear on the CWGC database as still serving with the 3rd Battalion, Norfolk Regiment. For men in both drafts it is hit and miss as to whether they have a medal index card or not usually created when they entered a Theatre of War. Despite probably having landed at Gibraltar and sailed the submarine infested waters of the Channel, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean, these men were apparently never in a combat zone.
Out of interest I took a look at that missing serial number, 17881 of the Norfolk Regiment, on the Medal Index Card Register. That number was assigned to (probably) their brother, Herbert Morter. Herbert would go on to serve as Private 27873 Royal Dublin Fusiliers - I believe a draft of Norfolks originally intended to make good the losses of the 2nd Battalion following the siege of Kut were diverted on route to make good casualties in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who were being sent into the Salonika campaign. I’ve come across other references to ex-Norfolk Regiment men who died serving with the RDF and they are all related to that Theatre of War.
