Anyone know what it is?

August 1, 2015 - There is something so interesting about an abandoned home. What stories lie within those walls?
Here are some pictures of Express Motors Volvo Olympian R624 MNU is seen by Porthmadog which is sadly been destroyed by fire this morning as this was on the route 38 to Dolgellau. This photo was posted on the Daily Post and here are the full details: www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/recap-bus-fire-...
Today we went to the incredible Karibou Centre before spending the afternoon with inspiring Kenyan entrepreneurs.
September 30, 2015 - This may seem morbid to some.
To me it's a continuation of the cycle of life that salmon engage in.
This Conuma River Chinook salmon spent four or more years in the sea, and then returned to spawn in its natal river. When it completed its biological imperative, it was exhausted and died. Its carcass will feed any number of insects, birds, fish, and aquatic invertebrates, before it has truly run its course. The nutrients within its flesh will nourish the stream and provide a starting point for the next generation of fish.
Nature is the best recycler.

October 16, 2015 - Completely, utterly, totally, meaningless and random photograph today.
Well, perhaps not completely, since I WAS looking at Mac laptops yesterday.....

We went out for dinner in a village near our hotel after Day 1 of a fun and engaging emerging leader program.

HFF!
Three fences for the price of one, aren't you lucky? I think there was a fourth fence but I couldn't get it in shot.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
September 7, 2015 - I was working today, up on the Upper Pitt River doing a sockeye egg take. I was surprised that this boat was still actually in use given the shape it was in earlier this year and the fact that when I went out for a release we used a water taxi to get up as the Swift was not in running condition. It's an old boat...solid as a rock, but one engine is less than cooperative.
September 10, 2015 - I think that I have the coolest doorbell :)

115 Photos in 2015 - 38. Technology
I planned to do a 365. The idea was to get my proper camera back in my hands. I've returned to work in the office every other week so I thought I could go for lunchtime walks. This has proved not impossible, but a real pain. There aren't many picturesque things near where I work (and those who know me, know I can find interesting things in most places). On a few days I took lots of photos, but posted one. On other days - especially those when I was not at the office - I was struggling to find subjects inside my own house. I was spoiling my own enjoyment and what I was posting was looking dull and contrived.
So ... I have decided instead to post something to Flickr every day, but not necessarily take a photo every day. That way I can share the photos I've enjoyed taking and haven't been 'forced' to find and take. It's all about the joy, not the chore. Plus the camera bag was an extra thing to pile onto my bike for the commute.
These sunlit leaves from a couple of weeks ago.
Coco the shih tzu has been featured 5 times out of the last 7 posts. This time she's blurred out and I think Wally likes that he's back as the center of attention.
"I shall rise again." It didn't. So they made a replica and put it by the ferry terminal with a commemorative plaque telling the sorry tale, to inspire modern voyagers with confidence.

The skyscraper thingy is at the end of Pacific Road. It had signage proclaiming an Arts Centre to which I didn't pay much attention thinking to Google it later. The address given online for the Pacific Road Arts Centre is "Tram Shed", which that building isn't. I can't imagine that it ever was. Nowadays the tram tracks terminate nearby at the transport museum, which building appears always to have been a shed - but maybe I'm mistaken. Google Earth is from 2008 pre-signage, so no good info on that. Sorry.
Meanwhile Liv Jr.'s office is just around a couple of corners. She confessed to never having noticed the signage, so that's where I'm leaving this thread pending further investigation. Maybe I imagined the whole thing.
You have to be a little silly to let yourself sit in front of a downtown popular restaurant, in mask, for 20 seconds. Luckily I have found two other women who are willing to play along. Each month we are choosing a new location to make pinhole images, with and without masks. I have some new ones that will probably make an appearance around Halloween.
camera: zero Image pinhole
film: kodak ektar 100
exposure: 20 seconds
Aug 5, 2015 - One of those days that I just didn't pick up the camera and a shot of a home baked BBQ chicken pizza was about all that I could muster with the camera.
But it was delicious!
December 2, 2015 - When in Portland....the second thing on the to-do list was a visit to Voodoo Doughnut for a namesake sweet :)
It was Maddie's last day of Easter holidays so we had some of her friends with us for the day and went for a walk along the river and made peanut butter cookies. And I also did four hours of office work! Not a bad day!
June 27, 2015 - A broom has one normal purpose to most people...sweeping away dust and dirt.
To me this has one very different purpose....it gets rid of spiders and spider webs on my upper deck.
Period!
We had another busy day which ended by celebrating this gorgeous girl's 11th birthday with a swim party.
The Betws-y-coed Motor Museum in Betws-y-Coed, a town and tourist attraction in Conwy County, North Wales.
Nestled in Snowdonia National Park close to the mountains, the village was founded around a monastery in the late sixth century, growing with the development of the local lead mining industry
The name is thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon Old English, meaning 'prayer house in the wood'. Prayer house (Betws) in the woods (Coed) The name Betws or Bettws is generally thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon Old English "bed-hus", which means a bead-house: a house of prayer, or oratory.
In 1815 the Waterloo Bridge was built by Thomas Telford for the London to Holyhead road - now the A5 - which was the dawn of a new era for the village, bringing a whole wealth of developments.
The village became a major coaching centre on the route from London to Holyhead, which led to the improvement of the roads in the surrounding area and has since acted as a primary destination for the purpose of road signs.
When Betws-y-Coed railway station was constructed in 1868, it brought in the arrival of the railway line from Llandudno Junction railway station and increased the population of the town at the time by around 500 people.
The town has many 19th century buildings including the Church of St Mary which was built on the site of a former cockpit and fairground, and although it has an early English look but was completed in 1873. The square bell tower was added in 1907 the commemorative stone being laid by the Earl of Ancaster in 1976.

September 18, 2015 - Another day on the river, and more bears watching us and scooping fish in our wake.
"A historic 19th Century chapel has been sold for £45,000.
( ... )
Located a short distance from the town centre on New Street, it was established in 1842 and built as we see it today in 1867.
It played a part in Welsh history in 1856, when the founding of a Welsh colony in Patagonia was discussed for the first time by the Literary Society of Caernarfon .
One leading member of the society was local printer Lewis Jones who went on to rally support for the colony and wrote a report on the Chubut area, where the first settlers arrived from Wales in 1865.
The chapel's most impressive feature is its grand classical entrance, designed by architect Richard Owen of Liverpool."
