"Brenda," the U-Link tunnel boring machine, is digging from Capitol Hill Station to downtown. Workers are shown here cleaning the tunnel with a tunnel vacuum machine.
It was a nice morning so I let Yeti come out to play while I did some gardening :) he was so funny racing around and covering himself in soil! Any ideas what I should plant in here this year? I hated the nasturtiums they got out of hand so I'm potting them instead. I was thinking a couple of lavender bushes, but what else?
Digging in the archives from last year's division clinching Reds' game, I was pleased to get this short series of Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips successfully swiping second base.
This was taken during the Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012, Cincinnati Reds game when they clinched Major League Baseball's National League Central Division title. By shutting out the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers, the Reds won their second National League Central Division title in three years.
I'll catch up with photostreams later in the week. I had a busy weekend with a family reunion, and also have a full schedule in the next couple of days.

On 7th January 17 people started digging on the site next to Carter's House at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. They are involved in the important task of preserving the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. An exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun will open to visitors next spring.
The project has been funded by Factum Foundation.

The Hands of Time consists of 12 bronze sculptures that depict life-size hands engaged in activities symbolic of Victoria’s past. The three-dimensional hands vary in culture, age and gender, and quietly convey eras and stories of Victoria.
The artwork is designed to playfully engage young and old, local and visitor, while kindling interest in Victoria’s history and identity. Each piece reveals a depth of meaning about Victoria, and beckons exploration and contemplation. The gathering basket element of this sculpture was designed by First Nations artist Carolyn Memnook. Gathering baskets and digging sticks were utilized by the Lekwungen people
to gather Camas bulbs for food. The site of this sculpture overlooks a vast Camas bulb field,
a traditional territory of the Lekwungen people.
Long expired Fomapan 200 and long expired Rodinal. I'm trying to force myself back into taking film photographs.
On the beach at Carmel-By-The-Sea. A beautiful town on the central coast of California. Clint Eastwood was once the mayor here.

It was quite comical that we got stuck the first 15 minutes driving through the dunes. Some were more helpful than others as seen in this photo. 😂

"Well Digging" by Lumen Martin Winter on the second floor of the Kansas State Capitol. A well was a necessity for Kansas pioneers, particularly those on the high plains. The woman with a hoe offers a prayer for rain. The men dig deeper under a blazing sun as the diviner looks eagerly on.
One of 8 murals that are on the second floor of the capitol. Commissioned in 1976 and completed in 1978. Originally John Steuart Curry was going to do murals for the second floor rotunda but due to a dispute with legislature Curry left. The legislature then directed a new artist to "refer to" Curry's sketches for ideas on the new murals.
On 12th January, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti, killing more than 250,000 and leaving more than 1.3 million residents homeless. EDV responded to the Haiti earthquake in early June 2010, and we are working with Classique
school.
The school survived the earthquake undamaged. As one of the only surviving schools in the community, it has been inundated with children wanting to attend classes. The school’s director also allows many of the children in local orphanages attend for free.
But in attending, the children were facing health risks because of the flooding which affected the property.
Working with our local partners, GrassRoots United, and the school’s staff, we engaged international and Haitian volunteers to dig a large drain and relieve the flooding on the school’s property.
As there is very little working sanitation in the area, the mud also contained human faeces. Many of the children do not have shoes, so there was a risk of them contracting a waste borne illness. The standing water also provided a haven for mosquitoes which carry malaria and dengue.
The school also hosts a vocational training school which was severely affected by the earthquake. We hope that this drainage project will be the first step toward helping the vocational training school get back on its feet.
