Celebrate life, any kind of resurrection, relief or renewal.
This is dedicated to a boy with whom i went out, on and off, for five years when I was 20 to 25 and he 21 and 26. Later on, he become my husband and the father of my children.
In that five years of our youth, he was drafted for two years in the army, when he came back, he begun to court me "seriously", towards the end even asked me to marry him. I could not then, but Eastern Sunday, and that is a story I wrote down yesterday again, with all the dark things that happened to me just before, we went to the market, then picnicked in the forest and then to "rest" to his best friends place.
I came home, looked at the mirror stunned: I did not look different! One could not see that i become woman. Instead of 25 year "old girl" I become a "young woman" - and life begun to smile to me again. Outside circumstances did not change but in me life was totally different.
I was so much in love and also begun to learn languages.
He gave me later two wonderful kids, and we were married for 15 years. Some later problems did make me forget, how happy he made me when I needed it so much.
Dedicated to the woman in the black VW who refused to play the game (you know who you are). I do hope your sense of humour bypass has been a complete success.

The Lincoln School is significant under national register criterion A as the oldest existing public school building in the city of Owosso and under criterion C as an early surviving example of the work of Lansing architect Samuel Dana Butterworth. The building served as an elementary school from 1916 to 1980 and as an alternative high school from 2005 to 2011.
Lincoln School was constructed in 1915 on property located across the Shiawassee River southwest of Owosso’s central business district, at the edge of the west side residential area. The building exterior is of red brick with cast stone accents in a simplified Classical Revival style. The 23,000 square foot building was built to house kindergarten through eighth grade students. The school is constructed using steel and concrete to be fully fire-proof. The two-story building includes eight classrooms in all, with dedicated cloak rooms, toilet rooms, a kitchen, and administrative offices. A large classroom/assembly room on the second floor seats 300 people. Each classroom was designed such that windows are arranged to allow light only to the left of the students. Limiting light to one side of the classroom was thought at the time to reduce eye strain. Except for replacement windows and doors, the building exterior retains its original historic appearance. Many of the building’s original interior materials remain intact throughout the building, including terrazzo flooring, plaster walls, and wood trim.
Pics from the AuthentiCity Lounge, the dedicated space in NYC where the AuthentiCity exhibition took place.
“AuthentiCity” is a photography project conceived in cooperation with the School of Visual Arts (SVA), New York, aimed at young international artists who are SVA students or alumni.
The project theme – “Revealing purity and authenticity in urban life” – is an invitation to use the straightforward language of photography to explore signs of authenticity and purity in the urban setting.
The project began with more than 200 photographers, educated at SVA, who were charged with capturing their vision of urban life. The 19 works selected in the preliminary stage were presented last April in an open exhibition during the Milan Design Week. Five of the 19 photographers, Carlos Alvarez Montero, Igor Aronov, Matthew Baum, Giselle Behrens and Caroline Shepard, were then selected, through a series of juror selections, to continue their work and each received a cash prize of $3000.00. Project winners were then chosen to be featured in the dedicated exhibition at the illy issimo AuthentiCity Lounge in New York.

Dedicated to my wife, which has to endure a lot of waiting sometimes when I take my shots! But she is also very cooperative, like in this shot!
(8952zionlutherancemeterycorvallissign) My first visit there was today. I didn't try to photograph indivual headstones, but rather to get a sense of the place. Small, quaint, hillside cemetery, about an acres I would think from the sign saying "DEDICATED 1909 - GOD'S ACRE"

This temple is dedicated to Sri Ranganatha (Lord Vishnu), as is the famous temple in Sri Rangam. Also worshiped here is Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu. There are many side temples including ones dedicated to the Alwars (Tamil Nadu Vaishnava saints), Sesa-sayi Ananta Sayanam with Lord Vishnu reclining on him, and Tirupati Balaji. Also worshiped in this temple are Lord Narasimha, Sita-Rama and Laksman, Venugopala and Ramanujacarya. This temple is managed by priests of the Sri Sampradaya, which begins from Sri Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune. This temple is constructed in the South Indian Dravidian style.
HISTORY
The construction of this temple began in 1845 and was completed in 1851, at the cost of 45 lakhs (4.5 million) rupees. It was built by Seth Radha Krishna and Seth Govindadasa of Chennai (Madras). This is the biggest temple in Vrindavana. The outer wall is 231m by 132m. This wall encloses a nice tank and garden. This temple has eight South Indian style gopurams. The main entrance to this temple is the western gate. There is a six-storey (31m) gopuram, which is completely covered by carvings. There is an 18m high flag staff (dhwaja stamba.
Worship Method The style of worship in this temple is the system established by Ramanujacarya and the worship is done by South Indian brahmanas.Earlier Non-Hindus (non-Indians) were not allowed enter the main temple area where the Deity is located, but now they can enter the courtyard If you are not an Indian, you can only enter the first two gateways.
In the month of Chaitra from the 2nd to 12th days of Krishna Chaitra (March-April) there is the huge Brahmotsava Festival of Sri Ranganatha. It is a ten-day festival in which the utsava murti (festival deity) is taken out on procession twice a day in the morning and evening. Over a hundred thousand people come to this festival. On the eighth day of Krishna Chaitra the processional Deity is pulled by devotees on a large 14m (45 ft) high cart from the Ranganath temple to Rangaji Garden, about 700m. The procession takes about 2½ hours. The cart festival is known as Ratha ka Mela. On the days when the main cart is not used, other vehicles are used to carry the Deities. There are fire-works on the tenth day of Krishna Chaitra. There is a variety of asanas (thrones) that are used to carry Lord Vishnu, which are placed on a smaller chariot. There is a Garuda, Hanuman, Surya (the Sun god), Chandra (the Moon god), a lion, an elephant and a horse.

"Disko, disco duck...Dii-iiscooo - disco duck"
So I drove my mountainbike over this flagstone path next to the church, passed by the boy-scouts shack and clubhouse and saw that the path turned.Near the turn the flagstone path ran alongside a small brooke with a couple of ducks sitting besides the brooke.I drove on (or is it I rode on when your driving a mountainbike?) and I saw a green lawn with hellish green,wet grass and little ducklings with a couple of their elders sleeping on the grass.At first, I didn't thought anything of it ( you've gotta know that my camera was strapped around my neck and was dangling around when I drove my bike...) I stopped and looked at the cuddly sleeping ducklings but the moment I had stopped, the little ducklings (and a few of their elders) started quacking, got up their feet (?) and started walking towards me.Maybe they wanted to be fed.Anyways, they where used to people thats for sure ! I grabbed the camera and started clicking away kinda franticly.The result is beautiful.These ducklings came nearly as close as my feet !!
Finally continuing a little series I started 5 years ago (see the set). I admire Maria Sibylla Merian's art and biography. Read more about her here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Sibylla_Merian

This is a family dedicated channel to our beloved big lad Benji
We got Benji in 2007 when he was 4 years old as the owner was suffering from an illness and was no longer capable of looking after him
We got him on the 21st may 2007 so we used that date to celebrate his birthday
When Benji came to live with us he was a very independant lad and was always the boss especially over my two young sons and he stamped his authority quite quickly
He did test us at the beginning but soon knew that living here with us he was going to get nothing more than love and attention and he got that in abundance
He loved his home comforts as he would often take over the settee and would declare that space as his own
I myself have had health issues and Benji would always pop his head up to see if everything was alright with me and i would do the same with him everynight
We nearly lost Benji in 2013/2014 when we discovered a small lump on his groin and the vet at the time told us it was just a fatty lump and just ignore it
We knew something was not right and advised the vet that we wanted it removed and we would pay for the operation
We booked him in 2 weeks after that appointment and when we got him to the PDSA they told us that it was a good job that we ignored her colleagues advice and decided to go for the operation as it saved his life as this so called fatty lump was actually a growth that was cutting off his blood vessel, The operation was a success and it extended our time with Benji
There was times that we questioned some of the vets advice as for when we kept asking about all the lumps that was appearing on his body and again we were told that they were just fatty lumps
Over the past couple of years we were concerned of a few lumps under his chest and a few that would appear around his ribs etc and again we were told to ignore them as they were fatty lumps
Well those lumps turned out to be cancer and cost our baby boy his life as his liver had also became very enlarged and we had to make a decssion if we wanted to die in agony as we were informed or for the vet to give him that terrible injection
We took him home for a day so that he could say his goodbyes to my sons and we stayed awake with him all night
The following morning we gave him his favourite a tin of tuna and he had a good drink of water and at 10:15am on September 1st 2017 Benji was put to sleep
My wife held him in her arms as i cuddled his head and kept him from seeing the needles and he dropped into his deep sleep forever
The vet that dealt with Benji on his final moment was a wonderful and caring vet and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts for all she done
We love you Benji and we will walk together again one day soon
Forever your
Mammy, Daddy and Brothers
