In May 1952 a group of young people from Bocholt arrived in the towns of Bacup, Haslingden and Rawtenstall as part of a visit arranged by George Tomlinson, at that time Superintendent of Alder Grange Youth Club. This is seen as the date when the official link between Bocholt and the Valley towns was formed.
In 1952 Britain still had some wartime rationing regulations in place and Bocholt was in the midst of a rebuilding programme following damage to the town at the end of the war. It took the Bocholt party two days to get here by train, cross-Channel ferry and coach. Despite all these problems the visit was a success, a return visit arranged, and the link which is still strong fifty years later was forged.
The oldest Anglo-German twinning arrangement, between Bristol and Hanover, is only five years older than ours. There are now more than 300 Anglo-German links. That first visit to Rossendale included a young Bernhard Demming who later became Mayor of Bocholt and has been a firm friend of Rossendale ever since. Another notable event from that first visit was the first Rossendale-Bocholt wedding.
The first exchange visits by Mayors and officials of the Valley towns and Bocholt were in 1958. Official contacts between the town Councils fostered the connection, but over the years, as more and more people visited each other's towns, it has been the ordinary people of Rossendale and Bocholt who have made the link as strong as it is.
In the past five decades there have been over fifty Rossendale groups making contacts with similar organisations in Bocholt, and countless individuals. In 1973 the football team at the White Horse pub in Waterfoot twinned with a pub in Bocholt and this link survives through the Friends of KAB Ewaldi. 1982 saw the first contact between Haslingden High School and Marien Gymnasium. Friends of Bocholt was formed in 1983 as a result of the celebration of 30 years of twinning. In 1987 Shawforth Majorettes made their first contact, and many more organisations in the Valley, from the Fire Service to swimming clubs, Scouts, Rossendale Male Voice and Ladies Choirs and all the Valley Brass Bands and Britannia Coconutters have travelled to Bocholt or entertained groups from our twin town.

The grainiest film I've ever worked with. Definitely not for the genre, especially not in Rodinal. Probably excellent for nudes.

Helsinki is the capital and largest city of Finland. It is located some 80 kilometres north of Tallinn, Estonia, 400 kilometres east of Stockholm, Sweden, and 300 kilometres west of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Helsinki was established as a trading town by King Gustav I of Sweden in 1550 as the town of Helsingfors, which he intended to be a rival to the Hanseatic city of Reval (today known as Tallinn).

Yesterday (26/7) a series of strong cold fronts impacted the Western Australian south west coastline.
Not one to shy away from the opportunity to get a few photos, I thought it would be a good chance to capture a bit of colour at sunset.
Just my luck, as when I arrived another cell was about to cross the coast just to the south of my location at Jindalee.
I was in the best position to capture it, just before it impacted the coast. The system intensified as it neared the coast and bought with it very heavy rain, hail, and strong winds.

Hilo is the largest census-designated place (CDP) and the largest settlement on the Island of Hawaiʻi, also known as the County of Hawaiʻi. The population was 40,759 at the 2000 census. The population increased by 6.1% to 43,263 at the 2010 census.
Hilo is the county seat of the County of Hawaiʻi and is located in the District of South Hilo. The town overlooks Hilo Bay, situated upon two shield volcanoes; Mauna Loa, an active volcano, and Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano and the site of the world's most important ground-based astronomical observatories.
Hilo is home to the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, ʻImiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaiʻi, as well as the Merrie Monarch Festival, a week-long celebration of ancient and modern hula which takes place annually after Easter. Hilo is also home to the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corporation, one of the world's leading producers of macadamia nuts. It is served by Hilo International Airport, located inside the CDP.
Hilo is one of the least expensive Hawaiian cities to live in; it has a median house and condo price of $294,909. While they tend to be more expensive than homes on the mainland, homes in Hilo are around 40% less expensive than those in the rest of Hawaii.

66057 rolls off the eastern of the two Chinley viaducts working 6H11 12:09 Toton North Yard to Dowlow Briggs Sdgs. I was in two minds about the pylon to the right, but concluded cropping the top off was better than losing the train in a much larger image. I wanted to retain the large hill to the right and vegetation prevented me moving further left.
