Pendine is a village and community in Carmarthenshire, Wales. Situated on the northern shore of Carmarthen Bay and bordered by the communities of Eglwyscummin and Llanddowror.
There are two parts of the village: the old hill-top settlement around the parish church; and the small harbour settlement on the shore. The latter developed into a small seaside resort during the 20th century. The seaside resort is best known for Pendine Sands, where Malcolm Campbell and J. G. Parry-Thomas set the world land speed record five times between 1924 and 1927. Parry-Thomas was killed while making a final record-breaking attempt on Pendine Sands in 1927. The Pendine Museum of Speed has, for part of the summer, Parry-Thomas's restored car Babs on display,

Working with refugees and their host communities:
Since the invasion of Ukraine started in February 2021, an influx of men, women and children have arrived to the borders of countries like Romania, Poland, Hungary and Germany to flee from violence and conflict. This situation has also activated empathy, solidarity and action from hosting communities, willing to take a step forward to support their neighbors.
Since the early 1990s, Ashoka Fellow Jorg Richert has worked on integrating and empowering youth from marginalised backgrounds, creating a safe space for street children and youth to, step-by-step, regain their confidence and find their role in society.
More recently, he has adapted this model to successfully welcome and host refugees from Ukraine. As shown in the photos, soon after the crisis began, Jorg and his team matched refugees arriving at the Berlin main station with German residents willing to accommodate them.
He also co-initiated an online platform for shelter for all people in crisis-related need: unterkunft-ukraine.de/

This is one of the main art & music exhibition centre at Taipei I visited all the time. And this set images I want to capture & express are the scenes I saw from the buidling (origianl were wine production factory ), the restructured restaurants and the art events etc.
(Background introduction of Huanhan 1914 Creative Park)
In 1997 members of the Golden Bough Theatre made a startling discovery. There, deep in the heart of Taipei and cordoned off from all visitors, stood an abandoned factory. The group described the factory as a city within a city, a place where nature was left to age with concrete for nearly a decade…and they were intrigued.
While the young thespians did not know it at the time, they had stumbled upon one of the oldest and most well preserved structures in Taiwan. Built in 1914, the factory was among Taiwan’s largest wine producers throughout the 1920’s. It had however, long since been abandoned.
The brazen group “restored” a small section of the factory and began staging plays in the abandoned halls. Their experimental performances, and intriguing choice of venue, quickly caught the attention of the local community…Unfortunately it also caught the attention of local law enforcement and the group was promptly cited for trespassing. This minor act of excessive enthusiasm however, was just the beginning.
Local artists became drawn to the open spaces, high ceilings and abundant natural light. Soon art and literary giants from across Taipei began using the factory as an inspirational work space, giving performances and leaving their distinctive mark on the structures themselves.
Word about this unique environment spread further and in 1999 the Association of Culture Environment Reform Taiwan, a non profit NGO, was established to oversee the restoration of the factory into a full fledged arts center. The factory was renamed the Huashan Creative Park and, in 2005, the rebuilding of the Creative Park officially began.
In 2007 the Taiwan Cultural-Creative Development Co. Ltd assumed responsibility for the renovation and operation of the Park and renamed it Huashan 1914. An organically creative environment has been growing ever since. Huashan 1914 now serves as Taipei’s primary creative arts center and a hosting ground for Taiwan’s most significant cultural activities. Examples include the Simple Life music festival and the BiBo student design expo. Today Huashan 1914 is not only the heart of Taiwan’s creative pulse, but also a bridge to a unique architectural past.

Ferguslie Community Council Walkout.
Monday November 29th 2021 7pm Ferguslie Community Council members gathered after many months of lockdown due to coved and where tonight’s AGM held in the Tannahill Centre was to vote on, a no show of confidence in the community council Chairperson leadership which saw a feisty exchange of heated words and more so than any I’ve ever heard or shot.
It was pointed out by the chairperson due to covid-19 missing the members were awaiting results, thus unable to attended let alone have the right to vote on something so important which was out of their hands due to government rules. But it was pointed out by the secretary, six out of nine members were in fact in attendance thus making up two thirds of the board, which made the procedures legal and above board and the vote should be held regardless. It wasn’t after the discussion finally came to an end and where a compromised saw the leadership vote would be postponed and the meeting would carry on with other business.
Around 7.20pm saw a late arrival and the last member to join the debate which continued to be heated and stressful for those involved. Me, I just shot away unmolested and documented the procedures which I never take sides on, yet was upset the group had come to this.
Worse still given I`ve shot countless events held by these hard working folks for the betterment of the peoples of Ferguslie Park. But politics is a nasty mistress folks, which inevitably divides the loyalties of one the members while creating divisive alliances with family and friends to the detriment of the group’s overall goals which is fighting for the people and one’s own aims..
It all came to head after it was pointed out; it was the responsibility of the chairperson to contact the council over why a shit load of funding was diverted to other projects and the lesser bulk of this one off massive funding would see the people of Ferguslie Park receiving less. Though the chairperson pointed out due to covid-19 and the inability of the council to meet let alone himself and others know what the hell was going on. The secreted did state it was all written out in the many documents which were handed out at the meeting and he should read it and respond given it wasn’t the secretary’s play to contact the council. This saw one member get up and leave resulting in the chairperson doing saw which resulted in colourful words.
This should have been live streamed as I’m not giving it justice and have no dog in the race to take sides. Again I hoped for so much more. I’m not a council member just a friend and photographer…. But will say, people need to see the bigger picture and fight for the people and bury the hatchet before what were good friends became political enemies.
By the way, love these photos… and they say politics are boring.
