365.2.236 - 8 October
I just married a man with more than 50 handkerchiefs. That is some serious ironing that my OCD won't let me ignore.
The worst railway disaster ever in British history occurred at a place called Quintinshill, near Gretna Green in Scotland on 22 May 1915.
More than 200 people lost their lives when a packed troop train taking Soldiers of the Royal Scots Regiment from Leith, near Edinburgh, to the war collided with a stationery train at high speed. The crushed wooden coaches caught fire and to compound the tragedy an express train going the other way was unable to stop in time and ploughed into the survivors and debris. Many died trapped in the coaches unable to escape the fire.
214 of the 226 who died were soldiers and their remains were taken back to Edinburgh where they were buried in a mass grave at Rosebank Cemetery. A large memorial was erected at that point within the cemetery and my picture shows that location.
For many years the disaster was mostly forgotten but interest was rekindled on the 100th anniversary of the event.
However only a few Edinburgh citizens are aware of this memorial. Despite that, every year a remembrance service takes place here attended by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh and members of the Royal Scots association.
Loch Ness on a day of disasters!
It was cold last night, with a good bit of snow... so much so that our chicken enclosure collapsed under the weight build up (it is now propped up with a set of step ladders!). Then I discovered that one of my back tyres was a little deflated, the air line at the garage did nothing but their compressor in the workshop got it up to pressure for a trip to Inverness for a bit of an image change on my behalf and then a business meeting which turned out to succomb to the weather and is being rescheduled.
Home now and getting used to the new look ;-) It is a very, very severe change!!! And also buying a full set of tyres on 6 month interest free because it's almost a grand for a new set of boots!
Yes... I could have just changed the one rear, but the two fronts are half worn and terrible in bad weather anyway and only yesterday I was saying it needs something better... so a full set of Michelin Cross Climates it is, booked in for Monday and tomorrows job rescheduled to next week.
Amazingly, this TWA Boeing 707-131B on it's departure roll at Newark, was involved in an incident with another aircraft over upstate New York, and made an emergency landing at JFK in 1965, some fifteen years before I took this photo.

Many people died or were injured.
In South Korea, there is still no punishment for those responsible for this disaster.
Most Koreans are still dissatisfied with the government.

Crushing fact 1 is the age of some of the victims, crushing fact 2 is how many of the victims came from the same family. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartley_Colliery_disaster

I had a chance to shoot with the Apocalyptic Band Disaster Face and jumped at it. It's not a genre I have much experience with and I knew I had to figure out a unique way of processing the shots.
Here are my faves from the shoot.

This is one of our two nesting Blackbirds in the conifer outside our back door. There was such a commotion yesterday evening and we found a Magpie raiding their nest. The Blackbirds were doing their very best to fight it off but it emerged with either an egg or a chick, couldn't see which.
Dawson is a ghost town in Colfax County, New Mexico. It was a mining town, and suffered two mine disasters killing 376.
The first on October 22, 1913, was an explosion that killed 263 miners. The second, also an explosion, on February 13, 1923, killed 123 miners - many of them children of the men who died in the 1913 explosion.
Its cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is filled with iron crosses marking the graves of miners, many who died in the two explosions.

ODC - DISASTER
Among disasters, droughts, along with earthquakes, are the biggest killers as disasters. Since 1980, drought and associated famine have claimed nearly 558 000 lives and affected more than 1.6 billion people, according to CRED.

Avec les tremblements de terre, les sécheresses sont les catastrophes naturelles les plus meurtrières. Selon le CRED (Centre de recherche sur l'épidémiologie des catastrophes), depuis 1980, les sécheresses et les famines qu'elles ont provoquées ont causé la mort de 558 000 personnes et touché plus de 1,6 milliard de personnes.

Doing some dolly sorting! Thank you to a flickrfriend who had asked to see my whole collection I have been randomly photographing my dolls/heads/collections in groups. This is the mess that I have left to sort/photograph.
Usually my dolls are packed away nice and neatly with brushed hair into plastic totes. I have been trying to do some spring cleaning though and photograph every single doll I own so this is the product of about two hours of sorting/photographing on my day off.
