ペンダントトップの穴にギリギリの太さの赤い皮ひもも50cm買ってきました。
そしてペンダントトップを両端にくくりつけ、太ゴムに巻きつけて、栞ひもに。
一方を測量野帳に、一方をスケジュールの部分に挟めば
すぐ参照できます。
ちょっとしたミソは、ペンダントトップは触ってすぐ分かるくらい違う形のものを選ぶ、というところ。
そうすれば、見なくても手触りで見たいほうを開けますから。
ペンダントトップでなくても、ボタンや、ただ皮ひもの端の結び目の大きさを変える、でもいいですね。
これの良さは、測量野帳にはほとんど手を加えていないのに(手前に引き出すだけ)、
次の野帳を使うときにこの手帳やゴムの一式を移し変えるだけで済む、
というところでしょうか。

There is something about heavy handed crap policing.......... You can see where these no government types are coming from........ Crap policing....... It certainly makes me hate Virginia ...... Mind you Louisiana too has it fair share of crap policing....... I seem to remember most of them had run away when the going got tough in New Orleans after Katrina .......... Yeah most had left town when me and Matt were there in the Katrina aftermath ....... but today there are a whole ton of them to enforce the no photography of the oil spill ........ or anything oil related. Yeah never mind protect and serve during an emergency lets make sure no one gets a photo on an ordinary day...... hey...... thats proper crap policing for you.
Im not sure how anyone can even pretend to justify new laws that make it illegal for press people to approach the oil spill or the stuff deployed to supposedly protect the shoreline.
Apparently press people can now be fined $40,000-00 for going with in 65ft of an oil boom on the water ....... and their news organization fined $250,000-00........... Clearly this is to suppress information and truthful reporting........ I guess you can see why BP or other oil companies might want those powers...... maybe? ........... but Im not sure why the authorities and the police have gone down this route.......... unless they too want to suppress the truth ?...... surely not in the land of the free on Independence day ????? :-/ :-)
Anyway today I was thinking of photographing some kind of mega oil installation belonging to Conoco that is pumping smoke/gas/steam into the atmosphere....... it looks vaguely dramatic....... but the drama of the view is as nothing to the drama created by this awful woman Sheriff who immediately pounces on me...... makes me stand against my car with my hands out and feet spread....... but she never checks me for weapons (she knows I have none cos she knows Im a press guy) ...... the leaning on the car thing is just for ritual humiliation purposes...... i offer to show Press credentials and to let her look in the trunk to see all the camera gear....... but she is not interested she just wants to file a report that has my driving license number and car number on it as if i really am suspected of terrorism....... when even she full well knows what she is pretending is just a joke.
Any proof that I really am a professional photographer working with Press outlets would just spoil her pretense....... so she doesn't actually want to look in the car or at other ID....... yeah this is crap policing........ so it went on for ever...... as crap policing does.......... so in the end I end up leaning on the car with my hands in my pockets so she is then going for her gun....... yeah....... now we are talking way officious....... and way way crap......... dangerously crap policing.........
I was so bored and outraged by all this crap....... I felt like running off...... I saw an alligator yesterday......... someone was telling me if it comes out the water it can't catch you if you zig zag........ I'm sure the same applies to all these overweight cops that never leave their patrol cars ........ if you zig zag I bet they couldn't even shoot you never mind run after you........... :-))
So I ask about the what the law is that prevents me from taking a photo of pollution being released into the sky from a Chimney Stack. And how I am supposed to know about it........ if there are no signs........ after all you can only be done for trespassing on land where the 'No Trespassing' signs are clearly displayed......... you might think that if you were being detained for thinking of taking a photograph........ well the 'No Photography' signs might have to be displayed or at least the Sheriff detaining you would be able to say something more eloquent than its illegal "Because I say so"...... and.......... "If you ask me about what law you are being detained under again you will be fixing to go to jail and will be questioned by the FBI"
So now she assures me she has placed me on some FBI suspect list and that I had been reported to Homeland Security .......... Ah yes......... crap....... mighty crap policing.......
Big fat crap policing.

My current Field Notes usage coincides with two of my New Year's resolutions.
1. Find and drink as much good beer as possible, while writing opinions about each experience.
2. Diagram and plant a French-style garden.

The wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) is a state threatened species in New Jersey, therefore its conservation is critical. Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge,. The site where they are found encompasses a range of important habitats that the turtles use seasonally, including a stream for mating and hibernation, wetlands and forests for foraging, fields for basking and foraging, and sunlit barren areas for nesting. Due to invasive species encroachment and natural succession over time, these nesting areas often become overgrown and unsuitable.
This is the abandoned Masonic Temple of Galata, Montana. It sits at the very western edge of the ghost town. The building looks quite old but the interior looks like it was last updated in the 60s.
Galata is almost a complete ghost town. There really are no more businesses open. Only a few homes are still lived in. This town has an interesting history and there are so many abandoned buildings that I would love to know the story behind.
Here is a video from when I drove through this great ghost town:

"Galata, east of Shelby, is near Willow Creek, one of the streams that flows into the reservoir created by Tiber Dam. It was a trading point and cattle shipping station on the Great Northern’s High Line. In 1901 David R. McGinnis, first immigration agent of the Great Northern Railroad, was so impressed by the beauty of the spot that he filed a claim for the land near the railroad where it crossed dry Galata Creek. McGinnis hired a surveyor to lay out a town and the following year brought carpenters and lumber from Kalispell to build a two-room house.
Cattlemen from the Marias River ranges brought their cattle to Galata for shipment to eastern markets. On cold winter days they were glad to have the protection of the two little rooms in the only building in “town.” The house burned down in 1904, but in 1905 McGinnis began rebuilding Galata. He built a two-room real estate office and an eight-room hotel, and eventually induced a storekeeper to set up shop in one of the rooms of the real estate office. Ranches would drive in with a chuckwagon and load up on $500—sometimes even $1,000—worth of supplies, pay in cash and return home for the long winter. After a few years, Galata’s only merchant closed shop and the hotel was abandoned; McGinnis gave up his dream of a town and moved to Kalispell.
One day he was surprised to receive a check in the mail. It was marked “back rent,” and was from a cowhand who had moved into the deserted Galata store and had done a good business with dryland farmers who were then settling on the old-time open range. By 1910 Galata had four lumberyards and five store. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
Near Galata, residents and visitors can enjoy one of the most versatile recreational areas in Montana, Tiber Dam-Lake Elwell. The lake provides excellent year-round angling for Walleye, Northern and Sauger Pike, native trout, Ling, Perch and others. Some may want to try their hand at bow fishing for carp that often exceed 20 pounds. For boaters and swimmers the area boasts over 50 miles of shoreline, a marina, and four well-maintained boat ramps located strategically around the lake. There are also numerous campground areas.
While you're at Tiber you'll observe spectacular windblown sandstone formations, Indian rings, and one of the largest earthen dikes in the world! The area surrounding Tiber contains excellent hunting, and a unique birdwatching area is located along the Marias River below Tiber Dam." -Montana's Russell Country Website

My Field Notes dryed up, after a few hundred kilometers under extremely heavy rain in Switzerland.
I used it as a backup plan if the GPS failed (it did).
Please don't mind the nonsense and all the misspellings: an italian guy writing in english and using french names. Comedy.
