Many of the graves at the Magdalena Community Cemetery are unkempt and probably don't have anyone to remember them.

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, or Yu Lan is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh month (14th in southern China).
In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm.
Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.
On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths.
Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors

Imagine a world before the Internet, where there was hardly any form of communication amongst the crossdressing/transvestite community. All was not completely lost however. One single light in the UK during the 1980's and 90's was Swish Publications's "World of Transvestism" (or WOTV as it became abbreviated). A successor to the much earlier "Tranz" magazine, WOTV was published monthly, inside was an "Aladin's Cave" of letters, photos (black and white), occasionally stories and illustrations. The publishing quality was quite poor and WOTV was not cheap (I think it was £6 when I first started to acquire my own personal copies).The cover usually graced some of the more photogenic girls, many of whom I am pleased to say are on Flickr. In view of their privacy I shall not post those, but I would like to share this cover showing an example of the sorts of illustrations that were often printed.
Stockists were few in fact in my area there was only one newsagent that stocked maybe one or two copies a month, but one could travel to Swish's main store in Greek Street London, to purchase missing copies or "bargain bundles".
Sadly I now longer have the magazines, but I did scan all the covers and most of the images of some of the girls from those magazines. If you did appear and would either like a scan, or have no objection to your cover (or image) being published here, by all means get in touch. The issues I have scans from are below.

I spotted this flock of birds hanging out on electricity wires connecting houses in Hobart, Tasmania. It was clearly a regular meeting place for them and the sky provided a nice contrast.
Monroe Community Hospital is a county-owned health care facility providing quality long-term care to individuals with complex and chronic health conditions in Rochester NY. Construction of the building that we now know as Monroe Community Hospital began in 1931, in the midst of the nation's Great Depression. Siegmund Firestone, a notable Rochester architect and engineer, was hired to design and oversee the construction of this new facility. Mr. Firestone incorporated many innovative ideas into his design of the building and ensured that the project employed all local contractors. Mr. Firestone also hired a talented young architectural student and draftsman Thomas Boyde, Jr. as one of his assistants, and Boyde then became the first African-American architect in our community.
When I saw Sriman arrived with this Yellow Jacket like a little chick 🐥 I had this idea to focus on this Jacket which is so flashy and so colored, I found it was illuminated the room ! And for be really focus on this jacket I just put the background
The main entrance to access the hospital for everything except emergency department that’s on the other side. Due to the COVID19 surge elective procedures have been canceled so very few have entered here at the time I came for N95 mask testing. Below the inside of the main entrance…
This week we helped Lavish Living SL bring their vision of a bright, minimalist community park to life. With clean lines, and an uncluttered space, they now have a stunning functional park with a coffee shop, community pool space and outdoor cinema which compliments the rest of their sim perfectly. Fantastic clients to work with, thank you for trusting us with your project.

Thank you all for your thoughtful, kind, inspiring and sometimes funny notes and comments. Non-Flicker people don't quite get it, but it is more than photography that knits us together.
Looking forward to the V for Victory that this pattern reminds me of! This is one of the many gorgeous sweaters my mom made through the years.(Remember it, E?) I wanted to put it up at some point and suddenly it seemed appropriate today. I definitely feel wrapped in your hugs!
(Yes, I know I have mixed a zillion metaphors. So sue me!)
The open air community area of Rochor, where residents (both humans and pigeons) can get together and do daily activities such as exercise or just a stroll. The colourful facades of Rochor can be appreciated from this area.
