This is a photograph from the start of the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon which was held on Saturday 26th August 2017 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 11:00. This is the fifth year of the event. The race is organised and promoted by Tullamore Harriers AC. The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter Tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course. 2013 seen the first year of the event as the club commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs.
We have a large set of photographs from the start and the finish of today's race on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157685695893933
The race was chip timed by MyRunResults - their website is www.myrunresults.com
The race was perfectly organised. The weather was good for racing but there was warm summer weather for the entire race which made for warmer than usual running conditions There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each.
As mentioned above this race half marathon started in 2013 and celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". The Quinlan Cup which will be awarded to the winning club team. For more than 40 years the Harriers Quinlan Cup was the most prestigious event on the road racing calendar. Having started as a cross-country race back in 1957, it became a road race in 1967 and remained so until 2000 when the race was last held. During its reign as a blue-ribband event the Quinlan Cup was won by the likes of John Treacy and Eamonn Coughlan.
Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

THE RIVER SETTLEMENTS OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA
The reclamation and irrigation of swamp lands near the mouth of the Murray was begun as far back as 1881 by Sir William Jervois, the then Governor of South Australia, whose example was followed by several private land owners: the irrigation of gardens from the Torrens and from springs in the Adelaide hills had been practised from the early days of the province.
But community irrigation owes its origin in South Australia to the enterprise of Messrs George and W B Chaffey, who founded the Renmark settlement in 1887-88. At the end of 1893 the Renmark Irrigation Trust No 1 was formed under an Act which contemplated the formation of a number of such trusts
STATE IRRIGATION
A state irrigation policy was inaugurated in 1904, when the first public work of swamp reclamation was begun near Murray Bridge, the work being undertaken by the Surveyor General. under an Act which contemplated the formation of a number of such trusts.
In August 1910 the control of these reclamation and irrigation works was handed over to the newly formed Irrigation Department under the directorship of Mr S McIntosh, who had been appointed Irrigation Expert for the Village Settlements in 1895. The subsequent work of irrigation development has been carried out by this Department, which in 1923 gave place to the present Irrigation Commission, formed on the model of the Victorian State Rivers and Water Supply Commission.
After 1914 almost the whole of the Department's activities were devoted to the preparation of land for soldier settlement, in conjunction with the Repatriation Department. The Commission has much wider powers than were vested in the Department and has sole control of repatriation work in the irrigation areas.
Soldier settlement blocks are for the most part of 15 acres or thereabouts. In most areas the irrigable land is supplemented by small blocks of high land for dry farming.
The Commission assists settlers by clearing, grading and fencing, constructing channels and tanks, subject to a deposit of 15 pc of the estimated costs. Land for soldier settlement has for the most part been also partially planted, generally 10 out of 15 acres. Houses are provided for soldier settlers. For general settlement cash advances for further requirements may be made, the total as expended or advanced not to exceed £600 or £30 per acre. This mortgage loan money is repayable, with interest at current rate, in 70 equal half-yearly instalments commencing after five years. For the five-year period interest only is payable. Lessees may contract with the Commission for their own improvements.
IMPORTANCE TO SA
Owing to the limited area of land in South Australia suitable for agricultural settlements (83.6 per cent of the State having an average rainfall of less than ten inches), the development of its irrigation resources is of prime importance.
IRRIGATlON AND RECLAIMED SWAMP AREAS BELOW MORGAN
Developed: 5,800 acres; 241 settlers (including 56 soldier settlers). 7,900 acres ready for allotment and in course of preparation for 360 settlers. Attached to some of the swamp lands and included in the above figures are areas of irrigable high land. Pumping plants of 2,000 BHP capacity of five million gallons an hour.
The reclaimed swamp and irrigated areas below Morgan extend along the river for 20 miles above and below Murray Bridge. Adjoining and below the Bridge are Mobilong and Burdett, Long Flat and Monteith Flat, and Swanport areas, with 2,108 acres and 108 settlers. In course of development are Jervois, Wood's Point and Wellington areas containing 4,087 acres of reclaimed land, destined for 150 settlers (portion of it since allotted).
Above the Bridge are the Mypolonga, Pompoota, Wall, Neeta and Cowirra areas, with 6,164 acres of irrigable and reclaimed land allotted to 133 settlers and blocks ready for 109 settlers. In course of development is the Base-by area with 528 acres to be reclaimed for 26 settlers. [Ref: Murray Pioneer and Australian River Record (Renmark) 16-10-1925]
Edmund Bowman Junior (1855 to 1921) inherited a great fortune when Edmund Senior died in 1866 but this was kept in trust until 1876. He employed an English architect Ebenezer Gregg to design the mansion and Adelaide architect Edward John Woods was the supervising architect. Although built in the Italianate style which was then so popular it had features to adapt it to the climate including air ventilation from the cooler eight roomed basement for the summer and wooden shutters on the windows. Some of the stone masons were bought out from English to build the ashlar and sandstone house. Stone came from the property or a quarry a few miles away. Behind the impressive staircase in the entrance hall are the upstairs servants quarters away from sight. The “public” rooms for entertaining included a grand billiard room, sitting room and dining room. Some claim the 32 roomed mansion was built to attract a wife and that could be so. Extravagant parties were held here. The grounds had a boating lake by damming part of the Wakefield River and the stables and coach house are almost as grand as the house itself and built at the same time. Martindale Hall received notoriety when used for Peter Weir’s 1972 film of Picnic at Hanging Rock. Although Edmund Bowman was extravagant his extravagance was surpassed by the next owner’s son. Edmund Bowman named the house after Martindale in Cumbria near their father’s birthplace. The new owner from 1892 was William Tennant Mortlock who made his fortune with leaseholds and freehold lands on Eyre Peninsula covering 2,000 square miles. In 1894 a son named John Andrew Tennant Mortlock was born in Martindale Hall. He eventually inherited it but produced no heirs. Her preferred male company to female and his housekeeper only agreed to marry him when he had terminal cancer in 1949. Within a year he died. During his life time he had donated to and established various agricultural and research foundations. His estate was recorded as over £1.1 million pounds which was an astronomical figure at that time. His wife continued his charitable activities and the bulk of his estate was divided between the Waite Institute and the Libraries Board of South Australia. Part of his estate funded the establishment of the Mortlock Library on North Tce.
John Bowman Senior emigrated from the English/Scottish borders to Van Diemans land in 1828 with his family. In 1838 he sent his eldest son Edmund Bowman (20 years old) to examine possibilities for pastoral development and farming in South Australia. In 1839 Edmund returned to take up residence in SA and his father and brothers followed in the same year. Brothers John, William and Thomas all came to SA without their parents despite their young age ranging from 8 to 12 years. Their parents followed later in that year. The Bowmans made a significant contribution to pastoralism and farming across the Australian colonies in Van Diemans Land (later Tasmania), SA, NSW and Victoria.
The Bowmans were builders; they lived on their land not in the city and so they built grand houses for their country abodes. They worked hard especially in the early years; they made canny and sensible decisions; they
usually located near water; they always helped and employed other members of the family; they often ran stations in conjunction with their relatives or employed relatives as property managers. For example the Bowmans who were butchers in Moonta, Wallaroo and Kadina got all their meat from Bowman properties on the Lower Wakefield River. Edmund Senior held a hotel license so that one of his married sisters (Deborah Forrester) could operate it and Edmund Junior accommodated his aunt on his Martindale Hall property after her husband was murdered. Bowmans were always diversified in their agricultural pursuits- some crops, some sheep, some cattle, some thoroughbred horses etc. They located near ports. Edmund Bowman, his brothers and his sons were kindly and good employers. Mr J McCoy for example worked for Edmund Senior and Junior for 72 years, starting at Werocata in 1852 and retiring as gardener and odd jobs man at Wandilla House in 1924. Wandilla is located in at Kensington. Thomas Bowman of Waverley when he died left various sums to charities but also £50 to every servant and employee who had worked for him for at least three years. Their grand houses in SA were Bowman Park and Napperby House at Crystal Brook, Pareora and Werocata on the lower Wakefield, Martindale Hall on the Upper Wakefield; Campbell Park House and Campbell House on Lake Albert and Poltalloch House on Lake Alexandrina. The second generation had Wandilla homestead near Burra and Holm Hill house near Manoora. In the city the Bowmans built Barton Vale and Wandilla. In Tasmania they were associated with Cheshunt House, Deloraine and Carolside New Town, Mount Vernon in Tasmania and Rosedale in Gippsland. Their acquired properties included Bowman Arcade at 65 King William Street Adelaide (1909), Waverley and Glen Barr at Strathalbyn etc. The Bowmans married into some of the prominent pastoral and business families of SA including the (Alexander Borthwick) Murray family, the Shannon family of Kapunda, the Thomas Tapley family, the McFarlane family of Wellington Lodge and Sir Norman Jude’s family and Sir John Bray’s family.

Here's a break from the hedge photos: a beautifully pruned and old (early 1970's houses?) flowering cherry. Need to go find it this week, probably in full bloom.
Example of what is currently called Maltese Tatting (deluxe!) by Mlle. Riego, famous for writing tatting patterns between 1850 and 1880. Interpreting the pattern was a bear! Some things over explained and some things under explained with some elegant hand waving besides. Only took 3 and half hours to make two repeats!
This is a photograph from the first running of the Clonard GAA 4 Mile Road Race, Fun Run and Walk which was held in the village of Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland on Wednesday 2nd August 2017 at 19:30. This race was organised to faciliate the continued fund raising for the wonderful new GAA facilities at St. Finian's Park - the new home of Clonard GAA. The race itself was an outstanding success with over 400 participants including over 230 participants having chip timing. The new GAA facilities provided ample car parking and space for refreshments and mingling afterwards.
The four mile distance is something of a novelty these days on the road racing circuit and the large field shows that the distance holds an attraction for runners, joggers and walkers.
The race started and finished at the new GAA pitch and incredibly only 20 meters separated the start and finish line of the race. The route took the participants east bound on the R148 towards Enfield through the village of Clonard and onwards to take a right turn onto Keegan's boreen to cross the M4/M6. The route then took a right turn on the Clonard Edenderry road to return back to Clonard with another crossing of the M4/M6 motorway.
As this was the first running of the race the support from local athletes was very visible.
Credit must go to Clonard GAA and Clonard Community Council who provided excellent organisation on all aspects of the race including event management, parking and race stewarding with the Gardai. This race can be an example to every other club in Ireland in how a properly organised race can be run.
Race event management and registration was supplied by Kildare company POPUP Races www.popupraces.ie

The story of Margareten
For the first time in 1373 has been an estate named, the in contrast to an "upper court" at the height of the Viennese mountain (Wienerberg) as "lower court" on (today) Margaretenplatz is designated. 1395 donated Rudolf Tirna, an owner of the facility, together with his wife Anna and his brother Louis one to Saint Margaret of Antioch dedicated chapel. As other early mentions of the "Lower Court" and the chapel we find in 1411 the St. Margaretenkapelln to Metzleinstorff, 1548 St. Margareten, 1568 Sandt Margareten and in 1594 hoff to St Margareten. The around this Margaretner Hof in todays area Margaretenplatz - Hofgasse - Schlossgasse emerged estate hamlet constituted the starting point for the development of the suburb. The estate, it is shown on the circular plan of Niklas Meldemann in 1530 armed with a mighty tower, has been at the siege of 1529 of Turkish groups of fighters set on fire - a commemorative plaque on the house Margaretenplatz 3 remembers at it. The court subsequently changed hands several times until it purchsed Olav Nicholas, Archbishop of Gran, 1555 commercially. Olai had the courtyard and the chapel partially rebuild and he layed out a large castle garden.
He appointed settlers to Margareten and founded south of his farm Nikolsdorf. In the middle of the 17th Century, 1647-1667, finally completed the envoy to the Sublime Porte, Johann Rudolf Schmidt von Schwarzhorn the building. In the 1662 appeared "Topographia Archiducatus Austriae Inferioris Modernae" by Georg Matthäus Vischer the present castle is represented as a two-storey building whose siebenachsiger (7-axle) residential wing in the east is reinforced by a corner tower with loggia-like ambulatory and to the west is surmounted by an onion-shape crowned clock tower. In this figure, however, lacks the this very day preserved with mighty rusticaded stones cladded castle portal. After the destruction of the Türkenjahr (Siege of Vienna) 1683 the construction was rebuilt. Already about 1725 had in the front of the castle developed in the run of today Margaretenstraße through building development the methodic rectangular shape of today's Margaret Square.
1727 sold Earl of Sonnau the manorial system Margareten to the city of Vienna. Between 1749 and 1783 was located in the large deserted castle garden, which served partly as a grain field and pasture, the first Mulberry School in Vienna. In the premises of the castle in 1751 a factory of Leonean goods was established, but which burned down in 1768. 1786 Anton Schwarzleithner moved the factory to Mannersdorf (Lower Austria). Thereafter, the entire reality was measured and came up for auction. The largest parcel, the old castle at Margaretenplatz with the adjacent factory building at 23 Schlossgasse, bought the silk ribbon maker and judge of Margareten, Francis Plumper. By a daughter Prallers, Elizabeth, married Pichler, the building complex came into the possession of a book printer family, which to 1869 handled a print shop here. The new factory building at 21 Schlossgasse was purchased by auction by Johann Brauneck who in the same year petitioned for an increase. On the neighbouring to the west to the castle connecting parcel (Margaretenplatz 3) the silk stuff promoter Paul Hochholzer in 1787 by architect Johann Michael Adelpodinger the existing buildings had adapted, over the entrance gate the building inscription of the old castle of 1651 was immured. The to the west adjoining parcel with the in 1783 deconsecrated St Margaret's Chapel acquired the Samtmacher (velvet maker) Leopold Urspringer, who had the chapel demolished and the ground for the construction of a residential building (77 Margaret Street) used. Also the area of the small castle garden that had the Vienna municipal judge Leopold van Ghelen on lease, was parceled out and developed through newly created streets. In the period from 1781 to 1788 arised on the site of the great palace garden in the of the Gartengasse and Schlossgasse on the one hand and Margaretenstraße and Siebenbrunnengasse surrounded territory on the other not less than 41 parcels.
Margaretenplatz as a historical center of Margareten is particularly accentuated by the 1835/36 before the House Margaretenplatz 3 built well, on those square base the by Johann Nepomuk Schaller modelled statue of the over the dragon triumphant hl. Margaret, the eponym of the suburb rises. As part of the regulation of 1886, the Margaret Square fountain was offset by 20m to the southwest, and received its present location .
In the west the square is surrounded by the instead of the in 1883 demolished brewery according to plans of the architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer by builder Joseph Müller for Baroness Amalie Lipthay 1884/85 established Margartenhof. The castle-like complex occupies an extremely important position as regards urban development in the district. Historically, it represents the symbolic succession building of the old, today only in fragments existing Margaretner Castle (Margaretenplatz 2,3). The large residential complex with the street-like designed "Zierhof" is an early example of urban development concepts, which in Vienna otherwise only could unfold in the interwar period.
To the east the Margaretenplatz is dominated by an according to plans of Ferdinand Seif 1898 built monumental palace-like structured tenement, where forms of the Venetian city palace of the 16th Century were used. Buildings of the Gründerzeit round off the Margaretenplatz in the north.
When you select Automatic Exposure Bracketing the camera will choose one exposure based upon what its metering thinks is right and then it will take one other shot on either side of this best guess, one over exposed and one underexposed. This way you end up with the three images in a series with exactly the same composition but at different exposures for you to select the best of later on. If you have the camera in burst mode (continuous shooting) the three shots will be taken if you hold down the shutter for a burst of three shots. If you’re in single shot mode the shots will take as you depress the shutter three times. Each digital camera has a different way of selecting AEB, so look at your owners manual to know how it works for your camera.
For this shot, I set the camera to AEB or +/-2 with the burst mode on. You can see the extreme differences in these two shots. This needs to be reset after each set is shot, or the exposure compensation dial set to the desired level.
Processing a photo of a snow leopard in darktable. Due to the light, cage wire, and not noticing the leopard had got up to walk until quite late, the base photo was a bit dingy and had haze on part of it and a lack of contrast. With darktable and heavy use of local adjustments I was able to make quite a few improvements. The split on the left shows an earlier stage where I'd already applied a few adjustments, but it could still be improved. I also then finished up the image in GIMP with a bit of cloning to tidy up the background.
An example of some of my experimental sketchbook work from a project called ‘City Scapes’ looking into different ways of drawing architectural structures and buildings through the use of collage, rubbing samples taken from a building directly and illustrative elements. When making this piece I made sure to include the edges of the notebook pages id been using to create observational drawings in as they too reminded me of architectural structures.
A superb example of an early medieval castle and town walls.
Chepstow is one of the earliest stone castles in Britain, and its design heavily influenced later castles. The fortress served as the administrative heart of the Marcher lordship of Chepstow, one of the most important of the English-dominated territories along the Welsh border.
Building commenced the year after the Battle of Hastings in 1067.
Chepstow is the first real 'castle' in Wales in two senses; it is the earliest stone fortress of the type we think of as a castle, and the first you come to when entering southern Wales, being located immediately inside the Welsh border, on the west bank of the River Wye where it empties into the Severn.
Arrow-loops or arrow-slits were narrow openings or crosses set inside walls and towers enabling defenders to launch arrows at potential attackers from outside. After gunpowder was introduced, round openings were often added to accommodate firearms.
