Flickr Worldwide Photowalks.
Last weekend (July 9 and 10 of 2016) thousands of dedicated Flickr photographers all over the globe hit the streets of their communities.
Here we are in Brisbane, enjoying winter in the beautiful Roma Street Parkland.
The subject was "Macro Textures" . But it did not really matter...
(The shot is actually taken by 50mm macro lens ;)
Guess who is missing on the shot, and spot the bird ;)
See more photos of the walk in my stream.
The photo is featured in the Flickr blog - Worldwide-flickr-photowalks

NEO Bankside And Blue Fin Building, London, UK
Despite the possible typo, the thought of a "Chevalier" getting married should encourage research into this fine wedding group from the Poole Studios in Waterford. We in Library Towers love these old shots for the people, the clothes and especially the hats of the ladies which tell so much about the era and the status locally, nationally and sometimes internationally.
And indeed there was lots to note (local and international) about this picture. Carol Maddock quickly confirmed that this wedding party is marking marriage of Chevalier Thomas O'Loughlin and Kathleen Murphy on 27 September 1911. The wedding took place at the O'Loughlin Memorial Church, County Kilkenny (a church whose main benefactor was O'Loughlin himself - funded by family wealth from the Australian gold-rush. Yes, really!). The reception took place at the Club House Hotel in Kilkenny, with a firm suggestion from Niall McAuley that the image was taken at the hotel. Carol provides an extract from the Kilkenny People on the day:
"... in the O'Loughlin Memorial Church in St. John's Parish, when Chevalier Thomas O'Loughlin, Killarney Villa, Ballarat, Australia, was united in marriage with Miss Kathleen Murphy, fifth daughter of Mr. James Murphy, Ballybur Castle, Co. Kilkenny. Chevalier O'Loughlin (or Count O'Loughlin, as he now is[...]) is a prominent figure in the Catholic world in Ireland and Australia. A native of Kilkenny and the inheritor of a vast fortune in the Southern Continent ... The wedding ceremony was fixed for 8 o'clock...[about thirty priests con-celebrated the mass, even some from Australia!] ... followed by her sisters, the Misses Daisy and Sheela Murphy..."
We're delighted to learn that the bride and groom returned to "Southern Continent" after the wedding, and "both lived, and prospered in Australia".....
Photographer: A. H. Poole
Collection: Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford

The Protestant Church of St John (German: Johanneskirche) in Stuttgart was built in the Gothic Revival style from 1864 to 1876 by its chief architect, Christian Friedrich von Leins. It lies on a peninsula of the Feuersee (Fire Lake), while the main entrance and tower marks the beginning of the former Johannesstraße (St. John's Street).
After being nearly destroyed in the Second World War, the main church building was reconstructed, but the Gothic vaults were replaced with modern ones and the tower was intentionally left incomplete to serve as a sort of war memorial. (Wikipedia)

Every morning, at nearly every weather, there's at least one group performing Taiji (太极拳 tàijíquán) on the Bund. Taken on a cold December morning, just before the sun appears behind the Pudong skyscrapers.

I have loved his rough look from the day I met him. His name suits his looks - and if he wore clothes, it had to be denim...
Many thanks to David for suggesting the music, which of course must be ZZ Top's Rough boy. :)
