I thought that my town did not have an attractive Shinto shrine. However, I should change the recognition.

Sometimes, especially in this tumultuous 20's decade, I've felt like we're living the lyrics of this great old song.
When I log in here and see the world through your eyes: humorous, creative, thoughtful, interesting...I'm back on solid ground again. Thanks (to everyone) for being you.

Pardon me as I take a break from the Febrovery Abecedarium today. If my FebRovery 2023 presentation is a book, then here is the dedication:
For Amy:
Happieness is
A rover built for two;
There's no one on this planet
I'd rather rover with than you!
........to my Mother-in-Law. She passed away this day 1 year ago, on the day of her Patron Saint. Her name was Pat.
Ironic?
CCC X
Medieval Life
In the far North, a forge can be found. Owned by Balig the Blacksmith whose fame spreads throughout the land. Throughout the harsh bitter cold climate, Balig works hard at his trade and produces only the most finest of weapons, truely dedicated to his work!
I've been building this during Iron Builder and was tempted to use the mystery part so I could have this as a IB entry as well, but I chose not to.
I discovered many new techniques while building this, as it was a headache to get every piece of wood panalling to fit perfectly together. The stone work is also a combination of 3 techniques including literally leaving an open hole and then filling it with different bricks so that they are only connected by the shear force of being wedged in together.
I'm feeling really pumped for CCC this year, so I have decided to once again compete for Master Builder....only if time permits!
In the summer of 1861, enthusiastic volunteers in colorful uniforms gathered to fight the first major land battle of the war. Confident that their foes would turn and run, neither side anticipated the smoke, din and death of battle. Nearly one year later, both sides met again on the same battlefield with the Confederates winning a solid victory bringing them to the height of their power.
This photo is dedicated to Chris Williams who did a wonderful mosiac of my photos, and for Arshad for writing me my very first testimonial!
Thanks so much to you both, im so lucky to have such wonderful friends!

The Mount Royal Hospital underwent a number of changes of mission since it was founded as an Immigrants Aid Society home in 1853. By the time this chapel was dedicated in 1955 (if you enlarge the shot by two clicks you should be able to read these tarnished plaques), the primary mission of the hospital was Acute Geriatric Care. As I said yesterday, this was a place where people came to die.
Somehow that makes this Chapel or Meeting House all the more significant. As a Quaker myself, I am intrigued by the designation, "a Meeting House for Meditation and Worship". Meeting House has been used by Quakers since the 17th century as a place for silent worship and meditation. Traditional Quakers, following George Fox (1624-1691), do not believe in clergy or consecrated buildings or churches. I realise this is different in parts of the USA.
But there's even more intrigue to be found here on these dedication plaques. Ambrose Pratt was a controversial writer in the early part of the 20th century. A journalist who began writing for "The Australian Worker", he became increasingly more conservative as he grew older. This was especially so after the major split in the Labor Party in 1916 (over the issue of conscription). Pratt became a member of "The Group" in 1931, and he wrote the resignation speech of Joseph Lyons from the Labor Party. Lyons from Tasmania went on to become the only Tasmanian Australian Prime Minister (1932-1939) who died in office. His wife Enid Lyons was the first woman elected to the Australian Parliament and the first female member of Federal Cabinet.
After his retirement, Ambrose Pratt became heavily involved in the Melbourne Zoo at Royal Park (and in fact was responsible for setting up the Healesville Research Station which is now the Australian native fauna section of the zoo). And it would seem he was also on the board of the Mount Royal Hospital. Now here's the final piece of the puzzle: I have no evidence that Pratt was a Quaker, but later in life he took a very close interest in Buddhism and particularly the philosophies of India and Tibet. So I imagine the term "Meeting House", was to express this ecumenical interest.

Sir Edward Hallstrom (1886-1970) did the honours of opening the chapel. Like Pratt he was a major participant in the zoos of Sydney and Melbourne, and his links to Mount Royal would seem to be his strong philanthropic interest in medical services. Hallstrom is one of those rare figures with two portraits in the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

Most of the light had already gone at this point so Nick decided that the only way he'd get the composition he was after would be to wade into the onrushing tide......that's dedication.
Bodyboarding is a water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard on the crest, face, and curl of a wave which is carrying the surfer towards the shore. Bodyboarding is also referred to as Boogieboarding due to the invention of the "Boogie Board" by Tom Morey. The average bodyboarding consists of a short, rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam. Bodyboarders typically use swim fins for additional propulsion and control while riding a breaking wave. Bodyboarding originates from an ancient form of riding waves (surfing) on one's belly. Indigenous Polynesians rode "Alaia" (pronounced ah-lie-ah) boards either on their belly, knees, or feet (in rare instances). Alaia boards were generally made from the wood of Acacia koa and ranged in length and shape. They are distinct from the modern stand-up surfboards in that they had no ventral fins. Captain Cook recorded seeing Hawaiian villagers riding such boards when he came to Hawaii in 1778.

These lovely roses were given to my beautiful sister Anne as a "Get Well" gift. She has just been in hospital and had surgery, but thankfully it was caught in time and no cancer. So we feel blessed and very relieved. Sorry I haven't been on Flickr, it's been a very busy time and still is. So I will hopefully catch up with your photos over the weekend:))

There are quite a few great photographers here on Flickr. I feel the Northwest has some of the best in the world. Maybe I am biased because I live here but I think others will agree as well. That being said there has been one of my contacts who loves to shoot the coastlines about as much as I do and I have been following his work for the last couple years and am continually inspired and motivated by his images....If you have not had the chance to check out Steph's work I highly suggest you visit his stream and check out the amazing beach shots he posts...

This was an interesting one. Kiall and myself headed up to Lostock Dam on the weekend to take advantage of the clear skies we’ve been having lately. We had a rough location in mind at the dam, but didn’t really know how to access it. Turned out the only way there was to go tramping through a dairy farm, which the bewildered farmer kindly allowed us to do. Getting to our location was hard enough – lots of elevation gains and losses, clambering up and down very steep, slippery and unstable hills. There were many ‘near misses’ – I came close to a rolled ankle or a fall on several occasions. 30-40 minutes later we arrived at a spot we liked; dreading the return trip to the car in the dark. We had no idea what we were in for…
After around four hours of shooting we decided to head back, which was an interesting challenge to say the least. Large parts of the dairy farmer’s property are impassable – sheer drop-offs and thick, impenetrable bush being the most common barriers. We were never ‘lost’ per se – once we got to the top of the hill on his property we were able to see the lights of his house in the distance, but we could not work out how to get back. After a lot of wasted time and energy, we finally made our way back to the car – with the return trip taking a tidy hour and a half.
This was definitely a shot that required a measure of dedication to achieve.
