"War is truly a terrible thing. Void of compassion, lacking in purpose, and deprived of honor. They will give us our metals when we return home, they will laud our courage and our bravery, and they will erect monuments in our name. But they will forget. They will forget the screams of pain, carrying like the voice of the devil across the battlefield! They will forget the terror and the blood! The suffering and anguish! They will forget, and live on. Yet we will not. How can we be able to live with ourselves; with the memories of those we slayed, and our friends who were slain, weighing us down? Medals and monuments will not ease this burden! Tales of our chivalry will not assuage our pain! I beg you, dear friend, remember! For as soon as we forget, all hope of us being at peace is lost."
So about a month ago, our city ( Burlington) was hit with a crazy rain storm, it was like 2 months of rain in about 3 hours something nuts!!!. Unfortunately , pretty much everyone on our street including us suffered pretty bad flooded basements , so as you can see behind me, this is what's left over , thank god for insurance. Time for the rebuild now
BTW, I lost a PCB softbox, my background stand and about 3 rolls of seamless, not bad but still sucks
Nice to back on here , hope everyone is well

Demolition of 14 Shaftesbury Street, Glasgow. The resulting dust cloud coming our way.

45147 at Patricroft on 26th December 1984 after collision at Eccles earlier that month.
The loco appears to be stabled on a spur (long since lifted) that led to the old steam depot.
These were the days when the remnants of train crashes were left on view or partially covered up for a good while after the event. I remember seeing the sleeping coaches from the Taunton fire at the lineside for a long time after the incident in 1978.
I went to the local prayer vigil to take some pics , expecting a large crowd, but not so. But those of us who were there will never forget it. It was outside the Ukrainian church and it was cold and very windy with night fast approaching. A little way into the service, the priest asked all that were gathered to pray, Unbeknown to those gathered, a rather large bough of a tree nearby(see pic) decided to fall to earth in a big way. One helluva light show and sparks galore and a decent explosion as it’s branches got tangled in the overhead wires and the base of the bough touched ground. None of us knew this at the time other than a unanimous WTF???? But a voice in the crowd shouted out, putting it all in perspective “ that’s the power of prayer” or was it a small taste of what so many people are experiencing day to day in a far off distant land. The people prayed on as fire trucks and police cars, sirens wailing and lights flashing arrived at the scene. How fortunate we all are to be in Canada.
Could this be the scene the morning after a Beacherfest event? Perhaps, but it's actually empties waiting to be exchanged for loads outside Doud's Market on Mackinac Island.
Sunrise at Copenhagen harbour, just hours after the heaviest storm ever recorded in denmark ... If you look closely you can see the Turning Torso in Malmoe ... Across in sweden Between the turbines
The streets & sidewalks were closed off for two days, and power was turned off for all utilities for adjoining buildings & businesses for two days, while assessments were made re stability and possible damage to all. Debris from the roof collapse (including a large, metal enclosure, a cell phone "tower") was removed, the damaged wall and windows of the third floor as well, and attempts to stabilize the remaining parts of have been made.
Now: There is hope that most of the remaining parts of the building can be saved. Mount Airy Downtown, Inc. and the City of Mount Airy met with the North Carolina Main Street & Rural Planning Center and the State Historic Preservation Office who all share our desire to see the Main Oak Building saved.
There is hope...

Took the photo on the right through an upstairs window in the local museum, catty-corner across the street, where I volunteer.
In Christchurch, New Zealand, it is nearly 2 years since two large earthquakes and many damaged buildings are now piles of rubble. We took a bus tour which goes into the "Red Zone" which is closed to the public for safety. You know it is a serious bus trip when they tell you what to do in an earthquake and then ask if you want to get off the bus before it starts the trip.
In the skerries, everyone safe and sound.
Guess it's just a calm day in the middle of the storm "Hans."
