Don't Let It Rain - Shaman
www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3wuOxSfQ-k
Haze in the sky, hiding the light
The clouds are here again
I wonder when the Sun will shine
And touch my skin again
I wanna walk on the outside with you
I long to dream once again
And fill every day with your life
Don't hide your scars
They're just a mark you'll live another day
Time heals the heart, it takes off the pain
And you will rise again
I wanna walk on the outside with you
Wishing to feel life again, fulfilling my days
The world goes around and round
I can finally believe it
If all I loved is gone
Then I finally believe it's true
So don't let it rain over you
We're drifting apart every day
We're losing the strength to find a way
But we carry on, yes we carry on
Until our time has come
And world goes around and round
I can finally believe it
If all I loved is gone
And I'm losing ground
The world goes around and round
I can finally believe it
If all I loved is gone
And I finally believe it's true
So don't let it rain
Don't let it rain
So don't let it rain over you
A short rewarding hike to a rock formation and stunning views of Lake Superior.
Prior to the 1900s, this landmark a lion sitting on its haunches looking out to Perry Bay. The former shape of this natural arch inspired its name the Sea Lion. The lions head has fallen of but the name still continues. The softer sedimentary rock will continue to erode. The "arch" of the sea lion will eventually collapse possibly leaving a stack in Lake Superior. Over time the entire section from the shoreline will disappear.
To get here park at the kabeyun trail head parking lot. Follow the trail about half mile down the trail. You'll see a sign for sea lion 500m to your left. The trail will branch off to different view points and down to the beach shoreline. Keep following it to the left. Currently there are some down trees and you will have to climb over them. Continue until you reach the green fenced off area and you will know you have arrived. Take in the views as some day this will be gone.

Part of my staycation, I am still debating whether to venture farther than my region this year. I was thinking about camping but there are so many rules and some campsites have closed their showers. I need a shower when I camp.

The land of Assynt (the land of discord) in the far North West Highlands of Scotland photographed at sunset from Castle Greyskull at the top of Suilven (The Pillar).
After a 4 hour slog from Glencanisp over rough tracks and peat bogs carrying a 55lb/25kg pack of camping and photography gear, you are faced with one of the steepest mountain climbs in Scotland, the Bealach Mor (great gully) of Suilven. Initially it looks unclimbable, but a faint badly eroded track zig-zags up into the mountain and, with the sound of Deer Stags bellowing during the rutting season echoing off the rock walls, you eventually reach the ridge at the top and are met with this fantastic sight. Wild mountain camps don't get much better than this.
Wise Words
Found in a souvenir shop near a provincial park, I thought it would be hilarious to wear while camping

[[ MM related shot]] Oly's Camping trip with Ho-Dad
After the pictures were taken and they had their moment, Trobar set up camp. Oly stood by offering no help put mumbling about they could have used magic. Trobar looked over his hard work " Nature gives us what we need son....you don't always have to use magic. Plus this is camping! Don't you want to know how to survive? " Oly sort of waved his comment off " No because in my future I will be in a cabin, in a soft robe, with warm slippers....and I wont have to do this " he shook his head. Trobar picked up the bag " Well get changed we are going on a hike " Together they prepared to brave the lands unknown

I was enjoying a nice golfing/camping weekend recently at Oak Mountain State Park in Alabama. I know that golfing and camping don't necessarily go hand-in-hand, but my friend suggested it and I love both activities so it sounded like a great plan. It was. Wonderful weather and nice golf courses made for a great weekend.
I woke up early one morning to find a lovely sunrise, so I broke out the camera and tripod (which goes with me everywhere) and was fortunate to catch the morning rays.
This particular blend took me quite some time to manipulate. It is only over three exposures, but I started tinkering with some photoshop tools that I was not experienced with to get the results I was looking for.

This reminds me of a song....a counting song I sang in camp. Don't ask me why but it does.....
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh!
I'll sing you one Ho.
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh
What is your one Ho?
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
I'll sing you two Ho.
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh
What is your two Ho?
Two, two the lily white boys, clothed all in green ho.
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
I'll sing you three Ho.
Green Grow the Rushes, Oh
What is your three Ho?
Three, three the rivals (Boom! Boom!)
Two, two the lily white boys, clothed all in green ho.
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
Sorry.....I have been working overtime and have had so little time to comment!
I will play catch up today and this evening!
:~)
Have a wonderful Friday and a splendid weekend !
Specific goals thwarted by the winds.
Out to la Pointe the other morning with a specific goal of photographing the cliffs before the bird migration and nesting begins on the west facing cliffs which by then will be a strict "No-go".
However the winds prevented me to continue including reduced visibility, I'm hoping for another crack at it BUT I did come away with what I think is a rather stunning image worth sharing.
For those who may not be aware, much of what you see is now private property (it's been sold), though the new owner has been gracious enough to still allow walkers along the walking trail following the perimeter to continue enjoying the majestic views from this spot. There are few things they ask/expect... they include no vehicular traffic (including ATV'S etc), no overnight camping, don't litter amongst a few other simple requests which are posted on signs as one approaches the property. All that is asked is that the few requests be respected.
*I'm grateful to have had permission* to have access for this project before the nesting begins, the seabirds will soon be arriving as the weather warms, it'll be critical to avoid disturbing them and other wildlife that is common here.
I hope you enjoy this photo.

View from Penrose Campsite over Porthleven and Rinsey, Cornwall.20/8/16.
Please DO NOT visit this site, we like it the way it is...... !!!!
Google Penrose Camping, don't...!
A city or county animal shelter is nothing more than an extermination camp. Don't let this oxi-moron of a word fool you. Please Adopt before you Shop.
Here are the removable portions of the rack. They are very easily removed by removing the inserted clevis pins; and then lifting strait up/off the permanent rack. The removable rack tube inserts over the permanent rack where smaller diameter tubes have been welded inside the main tube. As such the clevis pins hold no weight, and merely just keep the rack locked in place. They are superfluous for travel in this regard. When removed I can stack all components within each other and store underneath the camper while camping. Don't want to look like Sanford and Son...
So, you say you've never been to camp before? And you think you know the camp routine cold, but the director won't let you have the job?
Or you want to run the waterfront, but you can't even swim in cold water?
If you fit any of the above descriptions, this book is for you!
It will make veteran campers out of new ones, cool campers out of veterans.
It will make all campers laugh!
Here's a sample of what's inside:
• How to look like a cool camper
• 10 kids you'll find at every camp
• 9 counselors you won't be able to avoid
• A complete letter-writing-guide – how to mystify you parents and impress your friends
Are you really ready for summer camp? Don't worry. After reading this book, you'll be ready for anything!
Illustrations by Jerry Zimmerman
More from camping. Don't they look grubby? This is several days sans-showering!
I swear, I am trying to post more regularly, but we've been so terribly busy at the office that I've been distracted. Must post! Also, I should probably renew my pro account, already.
United Workers Cooperative Colony (1926–27)
Architect: Springsteen & Goldhammer
2700–58 Bronx Park East
Allerton, Bronx
The project was established as a non-profit trade union cooperative by the United Workers’ Association. Union members were mostly involved in the needle trades. Most were non-religious Jews and many were Communists. (Jewish holidays and traditional ceremonies were not celebrated.) There were a sprinkling of non-Jewish and black or inter-racial families. Residents were called "coopniks". The complex housed 339 families in the first section and 328 in the second. The raised basements featured classrooms, recreational facilities, a restaurant, a day-care center and a library. Shops in the neighborhood were sponsored by the organization. When completed, it was the largest cooperative housing complex in the U.S. Unlike private ownership cooperatives, in the Coops, tenants bought a single share in the cooperative. When they moved, the coop bought back the share at the same price originally paid. There was no profit to be made in selling apartments. By 1943, the Coop was bankrupt and became a rental property.
The United Workers' Association was founded in East Harlem in 1918. They first established a cooperative apartment building at 1815 Madison Ave. In 1922, they opened Camp Nitgedaeget ("Camp Don't Worry" in Yiddish) in Beacon, New York. Advertised as "the first proletarian camp for workers", it was the largest cooperative camp in America. Out of the organization grew the United Workers' Cooperative Association, founded in 1925. They bought property to the east of the New York Botanical Gardens. At the time, the East Bronx was being developed by speculators eager to entice upwardly mobile workers from the slums of Manhattan. Unfortunately, the onset of the Great Depression brought the cooperative movement to a grinding halt.
“The Coops” [pronounced coops, not co-ops] were the subject of the Independent Lens film AT HOME IN UTOPIA (2009).

The name says it all. This 6-campsite camp is appealing for hunters – especially when they see the beautiful gathering shelter!
Not a hunter? Sportsman Camp may still be for you. You can explore the forest roads on your ATV or just enjoy the quiet of nature back at camp. Don’t let it’s previous name, Sweat Creek, scare you off! Last we checked it smelled like roses.
Discover Pass funds help keep this, and over 130 DNR recreation sites, open to the public. Your $30 Discover Pass not only gives you access to DNR-managed state land, but also to State Park and Washington Fish and Wildlife managed sites. Get your Discover Pass today at www.discoverpass.wa.gov

Spent a week at Blue Points Amethyst Mine in Pearl, Ontario! A nice relaxing way to spend a week. Cell reception is bad there so no one was able to call and I wasn't able to check up on work. Only problem was a black bear in camp.

In the mid to late 1970s I was employed as a Residential Social Worker at a long-stay children and young person home in a south London borough. During my stay there I took many hundreds of photos of the youngsters in my care and of the activities in which we were involved.
Cooking at camp; don't know what modern regulations and risk assessment would make of this situation, frying at ground level, canvas just above the cooker, bare knees almost touching the stove, boy trapped behind the stove, it goes on - they were carefree days!

When Chad and me finished up our whiskey we looked around.
"This place looks like a fine camp, don't it son?"
"Yeah, I think you're right."
"So, what do you think we should do, kid?"
"I say we fight our way outa this damn place."
"I gotta say, I was thinkin about doin that exact thing. So where dya suppose we start on this whole thing?"
"Guns. We need guns."
"Good. So where we headin?"
"I don't know."
"We had better figure that out, then hadn't we?"
"I guess so, boss."

Don't knwo why on seeing this image today, i got hooked about the movie "Kanchivaram" Directed and written by Priyadarshan. The movie stars Prakash Raj and Shriya Reddy in lead roles and has the musical score by M. G. Sreekumar. The film was premiered and released at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2008 and Score a National Award this year.

The Muslim camps don’t have government-run schools. Only a small fraction of kids gain entrance to schools run by Finn Church Aid, where they are taught how to read, write and count. Dil Murmad, who teaches at Quran school, keeps his class outside as there’s no space inside the school for all of the children. He teaches the Quran and Arabic. For many kids it is the only accessible school.

I don't know these people. We came across a wedding photo session on the University of Washington campus. I joined in, from afar.
Check it out large to better see the levitating groomsmen.
Taking advantage of this run of sun and letting our gypsy feet take us away for some more summertime camping.
Don't forget your sunscreen, umbrellas and drink plenty of fluids!

Tenderfoot Creek Campground near Summit Lake, Alaska. A very integral part of camping - don't leave home without knowing where one is.
Amazing how early you wake up when camping.

Blue Mountain was the headlining band Friday night. We liked their a capella gospel best.
Some people in our camp don't necessarily appreciate the finer points of bluegrass and the sentence "shoot me now" was heard and noted. BUT, i thought they were good and there was still that awesome a capella gospel. :)
BAND BOYFRIEND: again, a cute dobro boy: Rob Ickes. He played the next day in a workshop with Joe Craven, too.
LCol Boileau has been with Argonaut off and on as an officer since 1975, but this is the first year that he gets to take the reins and lead the camp. He's got plenty of new and innovative ideas for Argonaut, and I forsee nothing but positive changes ahead during his tenure as Commanding Officer. If you see him on the street here in camp, don't be afraid to say hello! (Oh,but don't forget to salute first, cadets!)
