There are moments of existence when time and space are more profound, and the awareness of existence is immensely heightened.
Charles Baudelaire
I simply elevated to a higher plane of existence last night at David Gilmour's concert in Hollywood [with Richard Wright and Dick Parry].
It's been quite emotional these days but now things look so distant... So here is my homage to "Fat Old Sun". I realized the little plane-smoke-line in the picture could have produced another suitable title: "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun".
Existence.
Well, what is it matter?
Existencia.
Bueno, ¿qué importancia tiene?

Still in existence are two platform mounds ca AD 1500. Between 1799-1814, a fort existed here named after George Washington's secretary of state, James Pickering. When the city fell to the Union army during the Civil War, another Fort Pickering was constructed in this area. At this time, one of the platform mounds was hollowed out, and served as a munitions bunker. At one section of the area, a marine hospital was constructed and opened in 1884. Originally, the hospital consisted of six buildings: a stable, a surgeon's house, an executive building, two wards, and a nurses' building. During the 1930s, several new WPA buildings were added to the site. In order to make room for the new buildings, several building were torn down and the executive and nurses' building were saved and moved three hundred feet from their original site.
The Athlone 10KM and 5KM road races were held in Clonown Village, Co. Roscommon, Ireland on Sunday 28th of April 2013 at 14:30 and 15:00. Clonown is a small townland on the west bank of the River Shannon and is situated about 3 miles south of the town of Athlone. Whilst the townland is almost completely rural it is accessed easily from major routes and towns by the M6 motorway.
This race completely defied the fact that it is only the second year of it's existence. Every aspect of the organisation was professional: from stewarting, registration, start of races exactly on time, car-parking, and post race refreshments. The 10KM route followed an anti-clockwise loop. The race started on the L2035 Togher Road (about 100m from Clonown Centre) and heads towards the old Ballinasloe Rd and back via Creggan with the finish at the Clonown Community Centre. The 5KM run was added this year to provide a managable challenge for people who are following programmes such as Operation Transformation. The 5KM race route follows a meandering around the townland. The race starts at the church in Clonown and head clockwise around the Ballinaculla townland which offers lovely views of the River Shannon. The route then goes to the Drumlosh road and runs for 1.5 km before the roundabout which is the 3km mark. The race then turns around and returns back to the village and finish at Clonown Community Centre. Both races share some of the race route for the Flatline Athlone Half held in September (www.athlonehalfmarathon.com/) which makes the race routes very fast and flat.
Overall Race Summary
Participants: Approximately 400 people took part in both events with runners, joggers, walkers, and families involved.
Weather: This was a wonderfully bright dry afternoon but a very strong wind made difficult running conditions in places.
Course: Very flat accurately measured course on rural roads and bog roadway. There were waterstops provided at various points and by locals along the route. Very well stewarded.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the image(s) you request are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible.

In digital media I followed a line of enquiry about the evidence of existence and personal memorials. Although it’s commonplace to mourn and remember people through funerals and memorials, more personal and smaller tokens of remembrance are often more sentimental. My mother wears her mother’s and grandmother’s wedding rings around her neck on a chain, so that they are always close to her. Additionally, although she discarded my grandmother’s clothing and a lot of her possessions a long time ago, she still keeps her glasses in the cabinet that she left them in 12 years ago. We have recently inherited my great-great-grandmother’s box containing letters and documents dating back to the 1800s. Among them are letters and photographs from my great-great uncles who fought and died in the First World War. Together, they brought alive the personalities and characters of people I have heard mentioned in family conversations. Because the characters are so realistic, I wanted to capture their lives through a series of images and text. Originally I planned to transfer these images and text onto a series of men’s clothing, including some army uniform accessories. I then developed this idea into a series of handkerchiefs, because they are personal items and would have been carried by soldiers on battlegrounds.
One of only two RE8s still in existence, I believe.
A note courtesy of www.hyperscale.com/features/re824dg_1.htm: "Built by Daimler, F3556 is reported to have been flown only once in October 1918 by one Lt. Halstead, who put 30-minutes on the airframe during the test flight. Then it was crated and delivered to France, conveniently on Armistice Day. The aircraft remained in its crate until its transfer to the Imperial War Museum, and it went on display at Crystal Palace during 1920. In 1974, F3556 was moved... to Duxford for its first thoroughgoing restoration, which occupied most of the latter half of the 70s, prior to permanent display [there]. Following the second restoration completed in 2006, the aircraft is now on display at Duxford’s recently opened Airspace feature."
I was pumping gas and, looking at this row of dismal topiary, I was struck with thought: is this it? The fabric of memory, the structure of existence, the progression of time? What has my life come to, and where is it headed?
