Opened in 1927 as the John Rodgers Airport, named for a World War I naval officer, this was the first full-size airport to open in Hawaii, and was massively expanded between 1939 and 1943 as the adjacent Keehi Lagoon was dredged for the use of seaplanes that were also popular at the time. During World War II, the airport was commandeered by the United States Navy and was converted into Naval Air Station Honolulu, remaining closed to most civilian air travel until 1946, when it was returned to the Territory of Hawaii, having grown into one of the largest airports in the United States by this time, with four paved runways, three seaplane runways, a terminal building, and a control tower. In 1947, the airport became known as Honolulu Airport, becoming Honolulu International Airport in 1951, owing to many transpacific flights having layovers at the airport, and being one of the busiest airports in the United States during the early 1950s, as well as having the longest runway in the country in 1953 at 13,097 feet long. Jet service began in 1959 with Qantas using the airport for layovers on its service between Australia and California. In 1962, the World War II-era terminal built by the Navy was replaced by the John Rodgers Terminal, which was expanded and modernized under the direction of architect Vladimir Ossipoff between 1970 and 1980 into the current complex of modernist buildings that still serve most travelers today. The Diamond Head Concourse was the first section to open in 1970, followed by the Ewa Concourse in 1972, and the renovated and expanded Central Concourse in 1980. The complex presently still maintains most of the work of Vladimir Ossipoff, with the iconic Cultural Garden and the tall Administration Building being the two most notable elements remaining from the 1962 terminal. The airport is presently slated to undergo a major renovation and expansion, which will see the Diamond Head and Ewa Concourses designed by Ossipoff in the 1970s replaced by more contemporary structures, and the Central Concourse massively renovated, as well as major alterations to Terminal 2’s landside sections. This first phase of this project involved an expansion of Terminal 1, opened in 1993, with the addition of the new Mauka Concourse, completed in 2021. An additional change on the horizon will be the completion of the Honolulu Rail Transit System to the airport, slated to occur sometime in the next decade.
Las Cosas
El bastón, las monedas, el llavero,
la dócil cerradura, las tardías
notas que no leerán los pocos días
que me quedan, los naipes y el tablero,
un libro y en sus páginas la ajada
violeta, monumento de una tarde
sin duda inolvidable y ya olvidada,
el rojo espejo occidental en que arde
una ilusoria aurora. Cuántas cosas,
limas, umbrales, atlas, copas, clavos,
nos sirven como tácitos esclavos,
ciegas y extrañamente sigilosas
durarán más allá de nuestro olvido;
no sabrán nunca que nos hemos ido.
Jorge Luís Borges
As its name indicates, it has a broad and short snout, with small black spots resembling those on the Caiman crocodilus yacare. At eye level, the snout is the same width and length. Irises are a greenish colour. Males are rarely longer than three metres and females don’t surpass two metres.
Very aquatic, they are regular inhabitants of shallow fresh-water swamps in Bolivia, northern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southeast Brazil.
As the clock ticks the day from Friday to Saturday, I'm sending out my wishes for this annual holiday of those who love Star Wars: May the 4th be with you!

#203: As of 9/17/19, of my 1900+ pics, this is listed as #203 in most # of faves.
For an interlude, this is a close-up/headshot image based off one of my more popular pics posted here on flickr in the last couple years. This particular image was generated with the help of the FaceApp application, where I started with a close-up of the "2018-04-25 pic-21" pic I've posted here. Then I just applied the FA "spark" filter to help with the graininess of this close-up.
Let me know what you think... :-)
As the crow flies I am 30 minutes from Australia's second largest city. I might as well be on another planet when standing outdoors here.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.

A multi-shot HDR panorama from the Stone Church at Cragsmoor. I wonder what the view from that house is like?
As a child in the 70's my rainy saturday afternoons were spent watching movies on T.V. As an adult my saturday afternoons are spent photographing those moments.
so tell me how it should be.

If, as we have seen, the Atlantic province of Saintonge has a wealth of Romanesque churches from the 1100s, Burgundy is every bit as wealthy, or almost, and its Romanesque churches are often older by a good 100 years, if not more.
Even though Burgundy is far closer to home for me, I still haven’t been to all the churches I would like to see. Those visits take time to be enjoyed properly, and this kind of photography is slow and deliberate, which means restaurants and hotel nights, and these are activities whose desirability has been seriously curtailed by the pandemic over the past two years. Nevertheless, I have recently been photographing a couple of those old churches during day trips, and I will begin uploading the results, beginning today. I hope you will enjoy them.
Dedicated to Saint Marcel, the church we are visiting today is located in the village of Iguerande, in the Brionnais part of southern Burgundy.
Built in the golden sandstone that’s typical of the area (it’s the concentration of iron oxide in the ground that colors the stone), it is a large but squat church with three naves, a short transept and a harmonious and well-proportioned bell tower.
The sides were reinforced by truly massive, large-apparel buttresses.
It was built around 1050 with the typical exaggerated care of the architects and masons of the early Romanesque age, unsure about the resistance of materials and worried about the ability of their constructions to withstand the test of time.
Compare the careful, low-arching vaults of Iguerande to the slender audacity of the Vienne basilica I uploaded a few days ago: twice as high and three times thinner, even though it was built 600 years before! Then you can truly measure how much knowledge had been lost in-between...
This lovely church is the only building that remains of a Benedictine priory that was once a dependence of the abbeys of Cluny, then Marcigny.
The apse. The paintings on the walls at the extreme left are 19th century, but the one in the blind arch on the northern end of the apse is 12th century.
As the title says, from my collection and NOT a photo taken by me. I have only ever once been to Bristol airport and that was on the way to a family holiday in Devon or Cornwall, in 1971 or 1972.
About the only thing I remember, was a Cambrian Viscount 701, G-AMOA, on the dump, which I later found out had crash-landed there. Anyone have a photo of it, in situ, on the dump? Or before its accident for that matter.
The Carvair was a wonderfully unusual and charismatic aircraft imho. I only got one photo of the type, "back in the day;" and that was this rather distant shot taken on New Year's Day 1973 at Bournemouth-Hurn: www.flickr.com/photos/48975048@N06/8717264040/in/photolis...
I then saw G-AXAI, I think in a later BAF livery, at Coventry in 1974-6 (no photo I'm afraid). But I then had to wait thirty years till I saw another one (still in service!). See: www.flickr.com/photos/48975048@N06/7728406660/in/photolis...
As the winter doesn't want to come here, and so do the birds, I'm looking back at my images of past autumn and chose this one.

At night I dream that you and I are two plants
that grew together, roots entwined,
and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth,
since we are made of earth and rain

As some of you may know, in the last year I became 'a paparazzi' in weddings that take place at the Ethiopian church in Jerusalem, of Ethiopian, and (even more) Eritrean (illegal) immigrants to Israel.
It took me some time to notice that at these ceremonies you see young (and, sometimes, beautiful) people, you see their young children and babies; but you don't see older people, neither adolescent ones. These immigrants left their country, are building a new life in Israel, while leaving behind them their families, and, probably, most of their past.
It's hard to be an immigrant; it's harder when you immigrate as you have to run away; it's three times harder if you have to leave behind you most of your family and past.
