*************************
Women's rights are the rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls of many societies worldwide.
In some places, these rights are institutionalized or supported by law, local custom, and behavior, whereas in others they may be ignored or suppressed. They differ from broader notions of human rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias against the exercise of rights by women and girls in favour of men and boys.[1]
Issues commonly associated with notions of women's rights include, though are not limited to, the right: to bodily integrity and autonomy; to vote (suffrage); to hold public office; to work; to fair wages or equal pay; to own property; to education; to serve in the military or be conscripted; to enter into legal contracts; and to have marital or parental rights.[2]
In an article entitled 'The Loon Lake Colony 1922-2012' by Bob Blatchford, David Oborne and Jim Oborne ice houses were described:
"Up until 1953 when Hydro arrived, cottage life was rustic and basic. You were lucky to have running water via a hand pump. Wood stoves were your oven and heat in the early mornings. Most people had ice houses and ice boxes. Leo and Elburn Meeks Sr. cut the ice on the lake and using a horse drawn sleigh, took the blocks to the cottage ice house each winter. They spread sawdust on the ice to help it survive the summer heat. The ice box in the cottage was zinc lined and made of oak. The ice was put on the top level, food inside. They was a tray on the bottom to collect water. The ice had to be replaced every 2 days."

These cattle were lolling with perfect nonchalance in the middle of the street. It took two passengers several minutes to gently persuade them to rise so we could pass. One encounters cattle often on streets and sidewalks. The females tend to be very sweet natured. Some people touch them seeking a blessing.
A few years ago I published a shot which I entitled Finally - the Gherkin - it had taken me ages to get a shot that I really liked. The building is wonderful its shape so curvaceous - but its this very shape that made it so difficult to shoot. The shot was straight up to the top with the clouds whizzing over head. I was really pleased to get the shot. But over time I've looked at it and grown to think that the shot really didn't do the building justice - it didn't show off the beauty. So since then I've hunted all over the city for that view - and I'd pretty much given up it just didn't exist. That was until recently (well earlier this year) when a view opened up as the ever changing cityscape devoured another nondescript 60s building to be replaced - well by another probably nondescript office block. I've no idea how long this view will last below and the right the construction is well under way (one of the reasons for the long exposure) - but for now its there - I feel this shows off why I like the building so much.
I'd also like to say a big hello to all those photographers (and their friends and partners) I met on Monday at the opening night of Landscape Photographer of the Year - it was great meeting and chatting to you all. I have to say this years show is fabulous - some really fantastic photography on show - and well worth a visit - its free to enter and pretty much open all of the time - there's also loads of other fantastic exhibitions in london at the moment too - have a look here Must see Exhibitions

Mural entitled "Luchando por mi Patria" by Victor Quinonez aka @marka_27 and Don Rimx aka @donrimx, seen at 2214 NW 1st Place in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami, Florida.
The artist, Quinonez, states: "Luchando Por Mi Patria translates to Fighting For My Homeland. This print represents two Latino artists who currently reside in the U.S. Both artists call the United States home and are heavily influenced by American cultures like graffiti and hip-hop, but have never forgotten their roots from Puerto Rico and Mexico. We continue to blend traditions while paying homage to our respective heritage and bring legendary Luchadores to this collaborative mural. Hailing from Puerto Rico is José Huertas González aka 'El Invader' and heavy hitter Alejandro Muñoz Moreno aka 'Blue Demon' from Mexico. We chose Luchadores because similar to graffiti artists they have alter egos and fight to be the best in the game! They also represent their homelands of Puerto Rico and Mexico."

Hi, All:
I’m back for a day or two. While I was down, I started work on pulling my Uncle Bill’s story together. I have so much stuff. I’ve scanned almost thirty of his letters home. I’ve also scanned letters from my grandmother to Bill, miscellaneous documents, a moving account of Bill’s memorial service, a letter from the chaplain who buried him in Chester and letters to my grandparents from the parents of Bill’s flight crew. The boys died when the Wellington bomber in which they were training ditched into the Irish sea during a training mission.
In January, I will be going to Archives Canada in Ottawa to pull the files on the whole flight crew, as well as the second world war records pertaining to Bill’s friend, Cam Devine, my father, Herb Barber, and Karen’s father, George Pepper. I will also pull the first world war files for my uncles, John and Art Barber, and my great uncle, Wilbert MacDonald. It’ll take a few days of research to go through all the files. I pulled the records for Bill and his crew once before…in early 2003. At that time I photocopied quite a few records, but there are more I should have obtained.
This set of pictures were taken at #1Y Depot in Halifax, just before each of the boys shipped overseas at various times early in 1944. They still hadn’t met each other at this point, and would not meet until they crewed up in May, 1944. These images are photocopies of originals which are in Ottawa. I will try to have the originals duplicated in high quality when I go to the archives.
You’ll see the boys’ formal photos in the flight crew link given above. What a difference.
Over the next month or so, I will post the letters and documents. I think you will find them an interesting account of life in the early 1940s. Bill did a lot of things in a matter of eight or nine months.
I hope you are transported by his story as I was.
Bob was born in Seattle Washington to John Andrew Johnson and Annie Ione Brown, and was raised in Kapuskasing, Ontario. He went to high school for one year, and then studied drafting at technical school. He joined the Boy Scouts. Bob worked as a clerk at the Dominion Store in 1941-42, and as a showcard painter at Farbs Clothing store from 1942-43. His hobbies included bowling, basketball, swimming and sketching.
Bob enlisted at North Bay, Ontario, then undertook pre-aircrew education at St. John’s Technical School in Brandon, Manitoba, where he studied English, math, aircraft recognition and signals. After graduation, he entered the service at 32 Manning Depot, Brandon, Manitoba. His second posting was at #3 Wireless School in Winnipeg, Manitoba. From Winnipeg he was posted to #17 Service Flying Training School at Souris, Manitoba. His next stop was #1 Air Gunner Ground Training School in Quebec City, after which he attended #3 Bomber and Gunner Training School at MacDonald, Manitoba. His final Canadian posting was at #3 Air Gunner Training School at Three Rivers (Trois Rivieres), Quebec.
Upon landing in Britain, he was stationed at #3 Personnel Receiving Centre in Bournemouth, Dorset where he awaited further posting. He arrived at #83 Operations Training Unit, Peplow, Shropshire, on May 23, 1944. On a night training mission, on July 22/23, Bob was killed when the Wellington bomber in which he practicing gunner duties ditched in the Irish Sea
The recruitment interviewing officer marked Bob as a ‘slight lad, but [who] seems sincere in his desire for aircrew”. He was also noted as a “malleable type of chap who is quite willing to accept guidance and instruction. He would have preferred a chance to fly as pilot but accepts selection as air gunner gracefully and impresses one as good material for training in that trade. Keen, alert well-motivated, Likes guns and has no fear of fighting”.

In my adjacent photograph entitled "Bapaume and forgotten", I told the story of the Pikedale Soldiers Settlements and Amiens railway branch line on the Granite Belt in Queensland. This included the naming of localities along the railway after battles in France during WWI.
The nearby Stanthorpe Museum has the railway station (really sidings) name boards from along the line which closed in 1974. It also has a number of other railway relics from the area. Quite appropriately, red poppies are "planted" at the base of these signs. Except for Amiens at the end of the line, all of the other names define general localities, no towns as such. When you drive to Amiens today, these localities are still identified with green tourist signs beside the road, usually in front of a forest!
If you are interested, here is a small Wiki article on the history of the old railway.
The Krazy Katalogers have entitled this "Semaphore of Haulbowline lighthouse, Irish Lights Department flag displayed, Co. Down"! That means that there are two conundrums therein. There are at least three signalling systems on display, the Semaphore Flags, the Signalling Flags and the light for Morse Code Signalling. The other conundrum, at least for Morning Mary, is Haulbowline and Co. Down being listed together? The only Haulbowline we are familiar with is down in Cork Harbour but perhaps that one has a twin up North like the recent shot of St. John's Lighthouse?

“Everyone's entitled to their point of view but that's seriously a weird one.” ~Kevin Rudd (ex-Prime Minister of Australia)
"But the verdict of his colleagues, and the polls, was that changing Kevin Rudd was not a possibility. The problems were deep and personal. The brutal conclusion was he had to go." Brisbane Times
Today, Australia welcomes its first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Former Prime Minister, better known as K-Rudd had been quite popular with the public. Due to recent dropping polls however, he has been forced to resign, pressured to step down by his party members.
On election day, Australian voters vote for the political party they want to lead, but ultimately the party within itself decides whether the leader is still fit to keep their post. If not, they hold a vote only within the party, to oust the current leader to be succeeded by a new one. And the public has no say. It's pretty quick. My very simplistic understanding of Parliamentary politics... All I know is that today, we have a new leader for the country and the people didn't have a say in the matter, it feels strange.
Politicians are pretty infamous, not many people trust them because of broken promises; ineffective leadership, debates on environmental/animal/civil/religious/moral rights increasing taxes, poor health care, education just to mention a few. But a life trying "lead" so many citizens and get the country in working order, must be pretty difficult to say the least.
Today marks a clean slate for Australian Politics, or so we are led to believe.

Apotheosis of the Medici family (1682-1685) by Luca Giordano (Naples, 18 October 1634 - Naples, 12 January 1705) - Luca Giordano Gallery - Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence
Gli Inferi: la scena vede Plutone giungere agli Inferi su di una barca, mentre trasporta con sé alcune persone. Compaiono nel gruppo anche la Morte personificata, alle spalle di Plutone, e Cerbero, posto alla riva in attesa dell'arrivo di Plutone.
The Underworld: the scene sees Pluto reaching the Underworld on a boat, while he is carrying some people with him. Also appearing in the group are Death personified, behind Pluto, and Cerberus, placed at the shore waiting for Pluto's arrival.
Il grande e impegnativo ciclo di affreschi fu realizzato sulla base di un progetto iconografico che il Marchese Francesco Riccardi predispose in collaborazione con Alessandro Segni, segretario dell’Accademia della Crusca. A sua volta, il lavoro di Segni si ispirò al testo di riferimento intitolato "L’Iconologia" e scritto da Cesare Ripa.
Ai lati della grande volta vi sono le Virtù Cardinali rappresentare da figure allegoriche. Agli angoli, invece, si trovano illustrati i Vizi. Sui bordi prendono posto otto episodi mitologici. Infine, al centro del soffitto vi sono quattro storie tra le quali Giove e l’Apoteosi della dinastia dei Medici. In questo episodio, il più importante, Giove assiste alla presentazione dei protagonisti. Il dio si trova assiso in alto su di un cumulo di nubi, circondato da alcuni personaggi tra i quali alcuni componenti della famiglia. Cosimo III de’ Medici, Granduca di Toscana è rappresentato in piedi con un leone ai piedi. Su due cavalli bianchi vi sono i suoi figli, Gian Gastone si trova a sinistra mentre Ferdinando de’ Medici a destra. Il cardinale Francesco Maria de’ Medici, fratello di Cosimo III si trova in basso.
The large and demanding cycle of frescoes was realized on the basis of an iconographic project that Marquis Francesco Riccardi prepared in collaboration with Alessandro Segni, secretary of the Accademia della Crusca. In turn, Segni's work was inspired by the reference text entitled "L'Iconologia" and written by Cesare Ripa.
On either side of the great vault are the Cardinal Virtues represented by allegorical figures. At the corners, instead, are illustrated the Vices. On the edges take place eight mythological episodes. Finally, at the center of the ceiling there are four stories including Jupiter and the Apotheosis of the Medici dynasty. In this episode, the most important, Jupiter witnesses the presentation of the protagonists. The god is seated high up on a pile of clouds, surrounded by some characters including some members of the family. Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany is represented standing with a lion at his feet. On two white horses are his sons, Gian Gastone is on the left while Ferdinando de' Medici is on the right. Cardinal Francesco Maria de' Medici, brother of Cosimo III is at the bottom.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotinus
Smoketree or Smoke bush (Cotinus) is a genus of two species of flowering plants in the family Anacardiaceae, closely related to the sumacs (Rhus). They are large shrubs or small trees, native to the warm temperate Northern Hemisphere. The leaves are deciduous, alternate, simple oval shape, 3-13 cm long. The flowers are clustered in a large open terminal panicles 15-30 cm long with a fluffy grayish-buff appearance resembling a cloud of smoke over the plant, from which the name derives. The fruit is a small drupe with a single seed. Often classified in Rhus in the past, they are distinguished by the leaves being simple (not pinnate) and the 'smoke-like' fluffy flower heads.
The American Smoketree (Cotinus obovatus, syn. Rhus cotinoides) is native to the southeastern United States, from Tennessee south to Alabama and west to eastern Texas. It is a larger plant, frequently becoming a small tree up to 10-12 m tall and with a trunk up to 25 cm diameter. The leaves are also larger, 6-13 cm long; it also has varied but very bright fall color, usually brighter than the Eurasian species. The flower heads are usually sparser than in C. coggygria.
The smoketrees, particularly C. coggygria, are popular garden shrubs. Several bronze or purple-leaved cultivars of C. coggygria have been selected, with warm pink inflorescences set against purple-black foliage; the commonest in commerce are 'Notcutt's Variety' and 'Royal Purple'. When brought into cultivation together, the two species will form hybrids; some garden cultivars are of this parentage.
Cultivation is best in dry, infertile soils, which keeps the growth habit more compact and also improves the autumn colour; when planted in fertile soil, they become large, coarse and also tend to be short-lived, succumbing to verticillium wilt disease. Both species can be coppiced in early spring, to produce first-year shoots up to 2 m tall with large handsome leaves, but no "smoke".
