Fall sunsets are often lovely in South Carolina. After a stressful election season, tonight's sunset seemed like a celebration of peaceful voting.

It is such a lovely day, spring!
(Looks like a good turnout this election, probably 80%)

Independence Day is an annual public holiday in Georgia observed on 26 May. It commemorates the 26 May 1918 adoption of the Act of Independence, which established the Democratic Republic of Georgia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917. It is the national day of Georgia. Independence Day is associated with military parades, fireworks, concerts, fairs, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history and culture of Georgia.
26 May had been celebrated as the national day of the Democratic Republic of Georgia until the Soviet takeover in 1921. During the Soviet era, it was clandestinely and irregularly observed by segments of society opposed to the Communist regime. As the Georgian national movement gained momentum in the late 1980s, the symbols associated with the short-lived pre-Soviet republic became a rallying cry for those advocating independence from the Soviet Union. After Georgia's declaration of independence on 9 April 1991, the government set on 26 May 1991 Georgia's first presidential election, which was won by Zviad Gamsakhurdia.
This truck had a UAW Kerry sticker on the driver's side and a Bush sticker on the passenger side. Couldn't get close enough to get a clearer picture.
It'll be interesting to see what smart aleck comments show up on this one.
The place where for about two centuries emotions were seething, and inportant issues were discussed on war and peace, election of a new prince and posadniks (mayors), death penalty, taxes.

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
I'm torn between continuing to scream out the frustration and pain, or whether I should just shut up and try to post beautiful pictures. I try to look away and concentrate on my little world. But as I know myself, it will still burst out of me from time to time. Thank you for tolerating my opinion on this election and on the overall development of our world.

I did not vote in this by-election. It was my way of protesting Liberal party and their way of mis-spending our precious tax dollars, in project fiasco like E-health. Also the HST proposal, which, I do not thing will create more jobs at all. In last election less than 2 years ago. I voted for George Smitherman. He won by a landslide of margin. People had high hope of him to make a difference. In return, he did not stick around at all. He was eyeing for a bigger position -- the Toronto mayor seat.
I could've voted for either NDP or Tory. But these candidates and their supporters (including Liberal) were pestering me everyday. They were outside subway entrances, in my apartment building at dinner hour, knocking on doors and littering a trail of flyers as they go from floor to floor. It was pretty disgusting.
In the end. Liberal has won again and it has some cleaning up to do. Not only its image. But first it has to clean up the streets!
This is not a bitter crop: The only 'Strange Fruit' we have in America's trees tonight are our bicycles. We've hung them there while we celebrate because our city's bike racks are full.

56094 comes off the Strood (Medway Valley) line at Paddock Wood with 6Y86 1330 Halling Colas to Hoo Junction Up Yard departmental working conveying new concrete sleepers. Not only UK election day but American Independence Day, we're going left it seems while all around turn to the right!! The main line here has certainly seen a decline in importance in recent years, Eurostars used this route until HS1 opened and prior to that London Victoria-Dover/Folkestone boat trains plied these metals. These days it's not much better than a half hourly interval local service southeast of Tonbridge.

Thank you for everyone who has subscribed to my mailing list, I'm trying to do this more frequently to exercise my writing part of my brain. If you have a question (depends on the question)- I might answer it very quickly here but expand upon it in the next email!
At the end of the election, families and friends gathered in a restaurant next to a temple to watch the results come in on the TV. Was almost like watching soccer match.
Today (sunday) has been Election day here in Sweden and I have been voting and up following the results which are very even, so it is hard to tell what our government will look like.
Check out this short article and see why:

On 1 November there were elections for the Danish parliament. The result wasn't ready until two o'clock in the morning, and I followed it on my mobile phone from the bed. The cat, as usual, did its utmost to block the view.
Home, Rødovre.
I read this light hearted piece about our election today and it did make me laugh.
An explanation of how our Election turned out.
So the Conservatives won...but lost ...Labour lost ....but won....the SNP won and lost in Scotland but still won and the Conservatives won in Scotland but lost.. .the government was Tory but now can't be even though it is still and they need to make some Irish people Tory so they can be in charge even though they were and still are...UKIP lost but because of Brexit they already won ...18 Independent won but didn't win because they don't have a party so they lost but are now MPs so they won ...the winner, Theresa May, is being told to resign because she didn't win and she won't because she won even tho she lost...
All seems perfectly straight forward to me. In fact clear as mud.
