Extract from
Brahmeswara Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, erected at the end of the 9th century CE, is richly carved inside and out. This Hindu temple can be dated with fair accuracy by the use of inscriptions that were originally on the temple. They are now lost, but records of them preserve the information of around 1058 CE. The temple is built in the 18th regnal year of the Somavamsi king Udyotakesari by his mother Kolavati Devi, which corresponds to 1058 CE.
HISTORY
Historians place the temple to belong to the late 11th century as ascertained from an inscription carried to Calcutta from Bhubaneswar. The inscription indicates that the temple was built by Kolavatidevi, the mother of Somavamsi king Udyota Kesari. It was built with four Natyasalas at a place known as Siddhatirtha in Ekamra (modern day Bhubaneswar). The inscription was recorded during the 18th renal year of Udyotha Kesari, corresponding to 1060 CE. Since the inscription is not in its original place, historians indicate the possibility of the reference to another temple, but based on the location and other features specified, it is ascertained that the inscription belongs to the temple. Also, another issue raised by Panigrahi is that the four cardinal temples are Angasalas (associate temples) and not Natyasalas (dance halls) as indicated in the inscription.
ARCHITECTURE
The temple is classified as a panchatanaya temple where apart from the main shrine, there are four subsidiary shrines in the four corners around the temple. The temple on account of its later origin, has perfectly developed structure compared to its predecessors. The vimana of the temple is 18.96 m tall. The temple is built with traditional architectural methods of wood carving, but applied on stone building. The buildings were built in a shape of full volume pyramid, and then they would be carved inside and outside.The basic structure of the Orissan temple has two connecting buildings. The smaller is the Jagmohana, or assembly hall. Behind it is the Shikhara, the towering sanctuary. Later temples have two additional halls in front - one for dancing, and the other for banquets.
The Brahmeswara shows quite a bit of affinity with the much earlier Mukteswar Temple, including the carved interior of the Jagmohana, and in the sculptural iconography such as the lion head motif, which appeared for the first time in the Mukteswara, and is here evident in profusion. There are quite a number of innovations, however, including the introduction of a great number of musicians and dancers, some holding lutes, on the exterior walls. For the first time in temple architectural history iron beams find their first use.
On sandstone walls there are symbolic decorations and the notion of godlike figures that helps the believer in his meditation. The carvings over the door frame contain beautiful flower designs as well as flying figures. Like the Rajarani, there are images of the eight directional Guardian Deities. There are also quite a number of tantric-related images, and even Chamunda appears on the western facade, holding a trident and a human head, standing on a corpse. Shiva and other deities are also depicted in their horrific aspects.
One of the lost inscriptions stated that a Queen Kolavati presented 'many beautiful women' to the temple, and it has been suggested that this is an evidence of the 'Devadasi' tradition, which assumed such importance in later Orissan temple architecture and temple life.

Macro shot of my dedicated near IR canon powershot a630. with the 720 nm pass filter. Interesting note the filter adapter for this camera came bent slightly out of round to to repair the filter threads I forced a UV filter onto the slightly bent tube to give me good threads for the expensive IR pass filters. and to protect the threads on the new UV filter since it is now removable I added a captive lenscap to the camera ( it is sitting on the cap )
What prompted the IR conversion was that the flash worked intermittently, and as I just purchased a T3i DSLR I had no use for a point and shoot anymore. upon dis-assembly I removed the IR cut filter and found the short in the flash so I repaired the flash and tested it out using a piece of exposed film for an IR pass filter. with the results confirming the functionality I then ordered a A640/a630 filter adapter tube, since the 630 has a bayonet mount for accessories.
I also have a 900nm ir pass filter but have not had much of a chance to use this set up yet due to the changing seasons and a lack of greens to set the white balance to.

On 5th May 2022 the RAF MOuntain Rescue Service monument at the National Memorial Arboretum was officially dedicated. The Defence School of Photography helped record the event and these are some of their Crown Copyright photos uploded under the MoD Limited Use Licence, please see the link at the end of Fernanda's caption below.
Senior members of the Mountain Rescue Service(MRS) watching the memorial service. On 5th May 2022, the RAF MRS held a Service of Dedication and Remembrance after the unveiling of a RAF MRS monument at the National Memorial Arboretum. Guests include Commander Medical RAF, Group Captain Priestley, A4 Force Elements Commander, Group Captain Huntley, and serving and ex-serving MRS troops. Since its formation the RAF MRS has sustained a high readiness capability for Search and Rescue (SAR) and Aircraft Post Crash Management operations. Born out of wartime necessity to save the lives of downed aircrew in the mountainous regions of the UK, the modern RAF MRS now has 3 Mountain Rescue Teams (MRT) located at RAF Leeming, RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Valley and is supported by a dedicated Support Flight and MRS HQ at RAF Valley. Officer Commanding MRS, Squadron Leader Ed Slater states, “The RAF Mountain Rescue Service has a proud tradition of helping others. Since 1943, when Flight Lieutenant George Graham ventured into the mountains to rescue downed airman, the men and women of the RAF MRS have continued this selfless pursuit. The monument being unveiled today pays tribute to the 12 Troops who have given their lives whilst on mountain rescue duties. The monument is also dedicated to the families who provide unwavering support to the Troops and enable them to undertake lifesaving duties, this is a place for the entire MRS family to reflect.” The RAF MRA, formed in 1993 following the MRS’ 50th anniversary, is the official organisation for past and present members of RAF MRS, and is managed by a small committee of dedicated volunteers. In addition to an MRA tree planted in the NMA, the MRS and MRA have erected a monument that marks the Troops’ and their family’s dedication, alongside the 26 principal locations of RAF MRTs. MRA Chairman, Brian Canfer comments, “It is with tremendous pride and humility that we have created this permanent monument to the outstanding and unstinting dedication and commitment shown by the estimated 8,000 Troops who have served in the RAF MRS since its formation in 1943 and the essential support that those same Troops received from their families and friends. We are acutely aware of the 12 Troops who lost their lives serving with the MRS and conscious too of those who received life-changing injuries in its service. Like almost every action within the MRS and the MRA, the creation of this monument has been the epitome of teamwork.” Throughout the MRS’ history and until present day, although SAR operations and traditions have evolved, these like-minded and committed volunteers have always been, and will continue to operate as Defence’s only all-weather, ground based SAR organisation. Through maintaining a one-hour readiness state, 24/7/365 the MRTs epitomise the MRS motto, ‘Whensoever’.

Within the courtyard, there is a central shrine dedicated to Shiva, and an image of his mount Nandi (the sacred bull). The central shrine housing the lingam features a flat-roofed mandapa supported by 16 pillars, and a Dravidian shikhara. The shrine – complete with pillars, windows, inner and outer rooms, gathering halls, and an enormous stone lingam at its heart – is carved with niches, plasters, windows as well as images of deities, mithunas (erotic male and female figures) and other figures. As is traditional in Shiva temples, Nandi sits on a porch in front of the central temple. The Nandi mandapa and main Shiva temple are each about 7 metres high, and built on two storeys. The lower stories of the Nandi Mandapa are both solid structures, decorated with elaborate illustrative carvings. The base of the temple has been carved to suggest that elephants are holding the structure aloft. A rock bridge connects the Nandi Mandapa to the porch of the temple. The base of the temple hall features scenes from Mahabharata and Ramayana
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

Asakusa is a district in Tokyo, most famous for the Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals.
For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa was the major entertainment district in Tokyo. The Rokku or "Sixth District" was in particular famous as a theater district, featuring famous cinemas such as the Denkikan. The golden years of Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa. The area was heavily damaged by US bombing raids during World War II, particularly the March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo. The area was rebuilt after the war, but has now been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in its role as a pleasure district.
Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of central Tokyo, at the eastern end of the Ginza subway line, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as Shitamachi, which literally means "low city," referring to the low elevation of this old part of Tokyo, on the banks of the Sumida River. As the name suggests, the area has a more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than some other neighborhoods in Tokyo do.
