Dennis Oppenheim's "Garden for the Accused" refers to the area's adjacent courts and jails. It includes trees, rocks, flowers and hedges, radically transformed from their counterparts in nature. Fluorescent trees with steel mesh branches support brightly colored acrylic foliage. "In a way, it's like bringing Las Vegas to the backyard," says Oppenheim. Oppenheim's new work follows a long trajectory from his early rejection of the gallery space for the outdoors and even his own body as sites for art. His first earthworks in 1967 "brought the land and the soil into the work itself." Oppenheim has shown extensively in major galleries and museums around the world, including several retrospectives following his first at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1974.
Foley Square is named for Thomas F. “Big Tom” Foley (1852-1925), a prominent Democratic Party leader from the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Foley left school at the age of thirteen to support his widowed mother, working for a period as a blacksmith’s helper. In 1877 he began his active connection with politics as a Tammany election district captain and rose to be First Assembly District leader.

Connection
By Peter S. Quinn
My heart is a connection
To you and to me
Together in the beat
That makes our love free
These feelings like light
In rising daybreak
Every touch of this relation
That we in love shall make
Your heart is a connection
So much and tenderly
That I feel here inside me
When our love is free
Like dreams flowing between
In their everlasting
Only touches and nothing seen
In love caringly trusting
These two coaches were parked up in Parklands, Totnes, Devon, in May 1986. Nearest the camera is Wallace Arnold (Devon) XAT 718, a 1986 Berkhof Esprit-bodied Volvo B10M. Behind is former Wallace Arnold LUA 271V, a Ford R1114 with Plaxton Supreme bodywork, new in March 1980 and by this time owned by Smedley of Crewe. Both coaches would end their days in Ireland, and both were exported there in December 1992. XAT became 86-G-692 with Burke, Claretuam, and LUA 271V as 80-OY-91 with Francis, Daingean.

is a rocky tidal island and a commune in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometre (just over half a mile) off the country's north-western coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. The population of the island is 41, as of 2006. The island has been a strategic point holding fortifications since ancient times, and since the 8th century AD it became the seat of the Saint-Michel monastery, from which it draws the name.
Formation
In prehistoric times the bay was land. As sea levels rose, erosion shaped the coastal landscape over millions of years. Several blocks of granite or granulite emerged in the bay, having resisted the wear and tear of the ocean better than the surrounding rocks. These included Lillemer, the Mont-Dol, Tombelaine (the island just to the north), and Mont Tombe, later called Mont-Saint-Michel.
Tidal island
Mont Saint-Michel was previously connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. This connection has been compromised by several developments. Over the centuries, the coastal flats have been polderised to create pasture. Thus the distance between the shore and the south coast of Mont-Saint-Michel has decreased. The Couesnon River has been canalised, reducing the flow of water and thereby encouraging a silting-up of the bay. In 1879, the land bridge was fortified into a true causeway. This prevented the tide from scouring the silt around the mount.
On 16 June 2006, the French prime minister and regional authorities announced a €164 million project (Projet Mont-Saint-Michel)[1] to build a hydraulic dam using the waters of the river Couesnon and of tides to help remove the accumulated silt deposited by the rising tides, and to make Mont-Saint-Michel an island again. It was projected to be completed by 2012.[2]
The construction of the dam began in 2009 and is now complete. The project also included the destruction of the causeway that had been built on top of the small land bridge and enlarged to join the island to the continent, and was used also as a parking lot for visitors. It will be replaced by an elevated light bridge, under which the waters will flow more freely, and that will improve the efficiency of the now operational dam, and the construction of another parking lot on the mainland. Visitors will use small shuttles to cross the future bridge which will still be open to pedestrians and unmotorized cycles.
French
Le Mont-Saint-Michel1 est une commune française située dans le département de la Manche et la région Basse-Normandie qui tire son nom d’un îlot rocheux consacré à saint Michel où s’élève aujourd’hui l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel.
L’architecture du Mont-Saint-Michel et sa baie en font le site touristique le plus fréquenté de Normandie et le deuxième de France (après l'Île-de-France) avec plus de 3 000 000 visiteurs chaque année (3 250 000 en 2006 ). Une statue de saint Michel placée au sommet de l’église abbatiale culmine à 170 mètres au-dessus du rivage. Élément majeur, l'abbaye et ses dépendances sont classés au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18624 (60 autres constructions étant protégées par la suite) ; la commune et la baie figurant depuis 19796 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
La commune est peuplée de 42 habitants (les Montois).
Les Fraternités monastiques de Jérusalem sont présentes depuis 2001 au Mont, ce qui fait resurgir son caractère religieux.
Le mont Saint-Michel est un îlot rocheux granitique situé à l’est de l’embouchure du fleuve du Couesnon, rocher sur lequel a été construit un sanctuaire en l’honneur de l’archange saint Michel à partir de 709. Antérieurement à cette date, il fut connu comme le « mont Tombe ». Pendant tout le Moyen Âge, il fut couramment appelé « mont Saint-Michel au péril de la mer » (Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari).
Le rocher ne représente qu’une petite partie de la commune qui s’étend aussi sur la digue et plusieurs dizaines d’hectares de polders. La partie essentielle du rocher est couverte par l’emprise au sol de l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel et de son domaine.
Le mont Saint-Michel, situé à 48°38'10" de latitude nord et à 1°30'40" de longitude ouest, baigne dans la baie du mont Saint-Michel, ouverte sur la Manche. L’îlot est une excroissance granitique d’environ 960 mètres de circonférence, qui atteint 92 mètres d’altitude et offre une superficie émergée d’environ 7 ha, au-dessus de laquelle s’élève l’abbaye. Cet îlot s’élève dans une grande plaine sablonneuse.
En 1846, Édouard Le Héricher le décrivait ainsi : « Le Mont Saint-Michel apparaît comme une montagne circulaire qui semble s’affaisser sous la pyramide monumentale qui la couronne. On voudrait prolonger sa cime en une flèche aiguë qui monterait vers le ciel (la flèche actuelle ne date que de 1899), dominant son dais de brouillards ou se perdant dans une pure et chaude lumière. De vastes solitudes l’environnent, celle de la grève ou celle de la mer, encadrées dans de lointaines rives verdoyantes ou noires. » (extrait de L’Avranchin monumental et pittoresque, t. 2, p. 310, 1846).
português
O monte Saint-Michel (francês Mont Saint-Michel) é um ilhote rochoso na embocadura do Couesnon, no departamento da Mancha, na França, onde foi construído um santuário em homenagem ao arcanjo São Miguel. Seu antigo nome é "monte Saint-Michel em perigo do mar" (Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari).
Este mosteiro, fortificado no século XIII, integra um conjunto com mais três cidades cujas fortificações e desenvolvimento são notáveis: Aigues-Mortes (1270-1276), ponto de reunião dos Cruzados rumo à Terra Santa, Carcassone, célebre por suas defesas, e Avignon, sede alternativa da Cristandade (1309-1377). Estas cidades fortificadas, denominadas "bastides" marcavam a fronteira dos reinos ao final da Idade Média, servindo como elementos de defesa e dando ao povo novas oportunidades sociais. Foram construídas mais de 300 só na França, entre os anos de 1220 e 1350. Além das "bastides", foram projetadas e construídas em toda a Europa, de Portugal à Polônia, e nomeadamente no sudoeste da França, entre 1136 e 1270 aproximadamente, numerosas "villeneuves" (cidades novas), que muito contribuíram para o nascimento e consolidação de uma classe social burguesa.

It's funny how life can bring connections to you that you never thought possible. Maybe bringing a personal issue to light you'd never thought of before, or helping someone else connect their dots as well.
All the best...

I used to climb these poles and put these wire up, now I sit in an office giving work out to engineers climbing these poles and putting these wires up.
It's called promotion but I would rather be climbing these poles still than sat in a office as I do nowadays.
I miss working outside, even in the rain.
