Lowaldie.
Farmers took up land here in 1912 with the expectation of a rail siding on the Tailem Bend to Brown’s Well railway. Lowaldie siding opened in 1913 after protests to the railways as they had not planned for a siding at Lowaldie. Lowaldie station finally closed in 1974. A town of 72 allotments was surveyed in 1913 with parklands and suburban lands beyond. By 1916 only two allotments had been sold! The first building in town was a stone Post Office shed. One allotment was set aside for an institute and the locals began amassing money but very slowly. In 1919 they purchased the Post Office stone shed for an institute. It served this purpose from 1920 to 1925. In 1920 the institute was hired out for Methodist church services but this stopped with a year or so for want of a good sized congregation. The building was sold in 1927 to a new postmaster. It remained the Post Office until 1958. A school opened in the Institute in 1922 but closed at the end of that year. The Lowaldie School was then started up a few miles out of town in a rural location to the north of the town. It operated from 1930 to 1940 before final closure. Nothing remains on that site now except for a memorial cairn. In 1934 the residents began to plan for a second institute which was built of limestone and red bricks and it opened in 1935. Sporadic Methodist church services were held in the new Lowaldie Institute from 1936 through to 1970. From 1930 the town parklands and suburban lands were leased to broad acre farmers for cropping. Only two residential allotments were ever sold in Lowaldie.
Yesterday we had the first decent sky in what seems like ages, lots of people were out taking photos. I went to Farley Mount, one of the few high points in Hampshire, four miles west of Winchester. Lots of people were up there, the seats were all taken. Here two friends hurry to the top like myself lest they miss the setting sun, the light catching their leather boots The view is south towards the Isle of Wight.
After two years of long expectation and longing... I'm coming back to Iran for three weeks... I'm coming home.
As I was born and raised in France, some may think that Iran is not my "home", and that I do not have the right to call myself an Iranian.
But I am Iranian, and proud to be. I may not know it as much as those who were raised there, but Iran is my homeland.
And I will the most excited of all when our plane will touch Iran's ground, when they will announce "Welcome to Tehran"...and when the doors will open... the wonderful air of "khaake Iran" (Iran's soil) will reach my nose, and its heat will caress my face. And I will lay my eyes on the beautiful mountains surrounding Tehran.
And feel home.

I was walking home from downtown on Toronto’s Bloor Street in the late afternoon. The light was fading and I had no expectation of meeting another stranger for my Human Family project, but I did have my camera around my neck.
This woman passed me at a real good clip and I got barely a glimpse as she went by. Something about that glimpse and her determined stride intrigued me and I picked up my own pace. As we approached the Bloor Viaduct which carries pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and subway trains over the Don Valley Parkway, an idea began brewing in my head.
As I followed this woman, I was aware of the Bloor Viaduct and its suicide barrier ahead of us and felt motivated to use that setting to create a portrait if she would consent. I hustled and finally overtook her and I hate to say it but I “ambushed” her from behind. She was kind enough to remove her headphones while I explained my wish to photograph her for my project, making use of the “luminous veil” for a unique background. She was surprised by my request but very obliging and friendly. I explained background of the project as we walked together. Meet Holly.
Holly struck me as energetic and full of life and good will. I thought, as I took her photo, that there was a remarkable contrast between this lively woman and the suicide barrier behind her, forming the background element for the portrait.
Holly is 44 and was born in a small town on the U.S. border at the foot of Lake Huron – one of the first Canadian towns my wife and I experienced on a summer camping trip prior to becoming Canadians. She was walking home from her job as a Health Resources Policy Analyst for the provincial government. We walked together to the eastern end of the viaduct, at which point I turned south for home. I apologized for slowing down her exercise walk and she laughed “Oh no. It wasn’t really. My mother was a fast-walker and I guess I picked up the habit from her.” All I could think is that she must be very fit as a result. When I asked her what her greatest challenge in life has been she thought for a minute and said “Going back to school in my 30s and retraining for a new career.” She started out as a Nutritionist before becoming a Policy Analyst. Her message: “Don’t be afraid to try new things.”
Thank you Holly for indulging my interest in meeting strangers and taking photos for The Human Family project on Flickr. I enjoyed our impromptu acquaintance and I’m going to make a point of walking faster to improving my fitness!
This is my 178th submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.

My heart, my words. Please respect them.
Every poem, every story, and every thought I share is a part of my soul. To take them without permission is to take a piece of me
a piece that will always remind you these words are mine and can never be yours.
Even if you alter them, it is still my soul that lingers, whispering to you: You are incapable of creating your own, and that is why you copy what belongs to others.
The kit and its assembly:
This build is the combination of ingredients that had already been stashed away for a long time, and the “Red Lights” Group Build at whatifmodellers.com in early 2021 was a good motivator and occasion to finally put everything together.
The basis is an ARII 1:72 Cessna T337 model kit – I had purchased it long ago with the expectation to create a military Skymaster from it, but I was confused by a fixed landing gear which would make it a 336? Well, without a further concrete plan the kit preliminarily landed in The Stash™…
However, the ARII model features the optional observation windows in the doors on the starboard side, in the form of a complete(!) fuselage half, so that it lends itself to a police or firefighter aircraft of some sort. This idea was furthermore fueled by a decal sheet that I had been given from a friend, left over from a 1:72 Italeri JetRanger, with three optional police helicopter markings.
The final creative element was the real-world “Pelican” conversion of six O-2As for the US Navy, as mentioned in the background above: the front engine was replaced with a longer nose and the engine configuration changed to a pusher-only aircraft with a single powerful turboprop engine. This looked so odd that I wanted to modify the ARII Cessna in a similar fashion, too, and all these factors came together in this model.
My Arii Cessna 337 kit is a re-boxing from 2009, but its origins date back to Eidai in 1972 and that’s just what you get: a vintage thing with some flash and sinkholes, raised (but fine) surface details and pretty crude seams with bulges and gaps. Some PSR is direly necessary, esp. the fit of the fuselage halves is cringeworthy. The clear parts were no source of joy, either; especially the windscreen turned out to be thick, very streaky (to a degree that I’d almost call it opaque!) and even not fully molded! The side glazing was also not very clear. I tried to improve the situation through polishing, but if the basis is already poor, there’s little you can do about it. Hrmpf.
However, the kit was built mostly OOB, including the extra O-2 glazing in the lower doors, but with some mods. One is a (barely visible) extra tank in the cabin’s rear, plus a pilot and an observer figure placed into the tight front seats. The extended “Pelican” nose was a lucky find – I was afraid that I had had to sculpt a nose from scratch with 2C putty. But I found a radome from a Hasegawa RA-5C, left over from a model I built in the Eighties and that has since long fallen apart. However, this nose fitted almost perfectly in size and shape, I just “blunted” the tip a little. Additionally, both the hull in front of the dashboard and the Vigilante radome were filled with as many lead beads as possible to keep the nose down.
The kit’s OOB spatted, fixed landing gear was retained – even though it is dubious for a Cessna 337, because this type had a fully retractable landing gear, and the model has the landing gear covers actually molded into the lower fuselage. On the other side, the Cessna 336’s fixed landing gear looks quite different, too! However, this is a what-if model, and a fixed landing gear might have been a measure to reduce maintenance costs?
The propeller was replaced with a resin four-blade aftermarket piece (from CMK, probably the best-fitting thing on this build!) on my standard metal axis/styrene tube adapter arrangement. The propeller belongs to a Shorts Tucano, but I think that it works well on the converted Cessna and its powerful pusher engine, even though in the real world, the SA-550 is AFAIK driven by a three-blade prop. For the different engine I also enlarged the dorsal air intake with a 1.5 mm piece of styrene sheet added on top of the molded original air scoop and added a pair of ventral exhaust stubs (scratched from sprue material).
Another addition is a pair of winglets, made from 0.5 mm styrene sheet – an upgrade which I found on several late Cessna 337s in various versions. They just add to the modernized look of the aircraft. For the intended observation role, a hemispherical fairing under the nose hides a 180° camera, and I added some antennae around the hull.
However, a final word concerning the model kit itself: nothing fits, be warned! While the kit is a simple affair and looks quite good in the box, assembling it turned out to be a nightmare, with flash, sinkholes, a brittle styrene and gaps everywhere. This includes the clear parts, which are pretty thick and blurry. The worst thing is the windscreen, which is not only EXTRA thick and EXTRA blurry, it was also not completely molded, with gaps on both sides. I tried to get it clearer through manual polishing, but the streaky blurs are integral – no hope for improvement unless you completely replace the parts! If I ever build a Cessna 337/O-2 again, I will give the Airfix kit a try, it can only be better…

This girl child who is waiting to get her share of begged food probably would have been going to school if she wasn't begging. Her parents instead chose her to become a beggar because in their view it must have been such an easy life.
