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.

"Kathyrn is a hamlet in southern Alberta under the jurisdiction of Rocky View County. A Canadian National Railway line runs northeast through Kathyrn towards Three Hills.
Neil McKay, a local farmer and large landowner, named this hamlet after his daughter. He had offered some of his land to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company in 1911 for a townsite, on the provision that he be permitted to give it a name. When the station was finally built in 1913, the painter who was in charge of the sign misspelled Kathryn and the settlement became known as Kathyrn. The post office opened January 1, 1919.
Rocky View County's 2013 municipal census counted a population of 20 in Kathyrn, a 42.9% change from its 2006 municipal census population of 14." From Wikipedia.
WINTER arrived two days ago, on 14 October 2020! Our world turned white overnight, but thankfully the snow melted fairly quickly.
Friday, 16 October 2020: our temperature just after noon is 0C (windchill -5C). Sunrise is at 8:02 am and sunset is at 6:39 pm. We are under a Snow Squall Watch today - not sure if I have ever seen that kind of warning before. Ice pellets are forecast for this afternoon, though the sun has just come out and the sky has patches of blue.
Five days ago, on 11 October 2020, I finally did a drive NE of the city to see several barns and other things that I was really hoping to see again. I had checked the weather forecast and it was not good for the coming week - rain, rain/snow or flurries. I knew I had better get myself organized and delay no longer. As it was, the forecast for this day worsened in the afternoon - and it was right.
My furthest point north was to quickly call in at Irricana, to photograph the beautiful outdoor mural of the grain elevators that had once stood, but no longer exist. Irricana is a small town whose name is a contraction of the words "irrigation canals", which are found around the Irricana area. I had first seen this mural, and others, three years ago with my daughter.
"One of the largest pieces local artist Glen Collin ever worked on was a mural he painted that now stands at the entrance for the Town of Irricana. The mural portrays the two Irricana grain elevators while they were still standing. The mural took Collin approximately three full years from painting to installation in 2013."

Another thing I really wanted to see again was one of my favourite old barns. It is still in use, though unfortunately the cupola fell off the roof to the ground since 2017. I was expecting to see a few sheep in the field by the barn and was surprised to see none. However, when I turned my car around to continue my drive, there they were, resting in a field the other side of the road.
A few more barns, a number of skyscapes, and one duckling added to my few hours away from the city. I am always thankful that I am able to explore the backroads and see what I can find. Especially appropriate on the Thanksgiving weekend.
Second year at the Jordan Creek Community Garden. I can say it is easier preparing the beds for planting but still a load of work.

Dominated by sand, sea, surf and wind communities built on the sand are often subjected to Mother Nature's extremes. With the wind blowing and the sand flying they always have a special appeal to me.

Our first game drive at Machaba Camp, Khwai. We had arrived late in the day due to flight times and left camp later than the rest of the guests. The first rains had fallen that morning and there was a lot of water on the ground. The sky was still very overcast. We saw a few bull elephants grazing in the river, far too many warthogs and a few antelope.
As the sun, what we could see of it, fell. It was suggested that we should visit the communal hyena den, which seemed to be a regular spot in Khwai for post sundown activity as there were a few other vehicles there.
When we arrived there were several female hyenas greeting each other while trying to keep tabs on their wayward offspring who occasionally shot off into the scrub and were retrieved by mum a few moments later. The cubs, we counted 7, ran around together and were really curious of this strange substance that had formed pools around their dens during he day. It was entertaining to watch them tentatively sniff and pad at the puddles of water.

In our community we make friends from all around the world. I have known Marci Ansen for several years now, she is in Australia and I am in Canada. We met on Flickr and have exchanged correspondences over those years, discussing many topics. Music and art being at the top.
Marci shared a photo with me of a bench that she passes on a regular basis. Early in the COVID 19 shutdown, someone had written a phrase on the bench and Marci took a photo of it and shared it with me:
“See the space in between as a gift of Life and Love”
Marci is one determined girl. She managed to track down the author of that phrase, arranged for permission to use it, found an organization and made up some t-shirts with the phrase on it to raise some funds for the organization.
But she also saw the phrase working between friends, friends from a distance, an ocean away. So she asked to use one of my photos and then she put the two of us on the bench with the phrase between us.
I am very proud to have this gift t-shirt from Marci and I hope one day that I can travel to Australia and the two of can go to that bench and take a proper photo together. If you would like a similar t-shirt just message me and I shall see what I can do.

Ogni anno il popolo sikh festegga il “Baisakhi”, la Festa del Raccolto.
Brescia per un intero week-end si fa città globale e vede le sue strade invase dai colori e dalla gioia dei numerosi esponenti dell'etnia Indiana.
Il Sikhismo si basa su tre principi:
- Ricordare il Creatore in ogni momento;
- Guadagnare lavorando onestamente;
- Condividere il guadagno.

One of the dwindling rural services left in the area is the Wednesday only 888 service, operating from the centre of Newton Abbot to Kingskerswell & Daccombe.
