AGB Tires
5350 Franklin Boulevard
Sacramento, CA
One block up the street is the actual home of God Bless Tires. Someday I'll post up a good picture of its frontage. Their disapproving looks made me a little shy about it on this day.

Fall silent for all the brave men and women who served their country, so that people like you and I can live in peace. God bless everyone of them.
Update March 17.
Some of you were wondering if I ever was able to talk to this gentleman. I did the other day. His name is Victor. Very friendly fellow. I introduced myself and asked him what is name was and he immediately extended his hand as he told me his name was Victor. He said that he's been on this corner for five years, and has met so many wonderful, friendly, giving people. He also said that, unlike most other fellows, he doesn't use the money given him for drugs or alcohol, he's been clean and sober for 35 years. His main purpose for the money is to keep a roof over his head so he doesn't have to sleep outside at night. He rents a room somewhere. I told him I think he makes a wonderful greeter for the city of DesMoines since he's usually out there rain or shine. I gave him a little cash and he said "Thank you very much. God Bless you." I said "and God bless you too Victor, I'll see you again". I certainly will.
(March 2 Post).
This fellow owns the corner he's standing on. The intersection of Pacific HWY S. and the Kent Des Moines HWY. He's quite the fixture there, especially on the weekends. If I was to emulate anyone in this profession it would be this fellow. He has such a sweet demeanor, walks with a short step shuffle and lifts his right hand up from holding the sign to give passing motorists a little side to side wave. My guess is he makes bank here. I've been wanting to stop and ask him what his name was since I took this shot but he hasn't been around when I've driven through lately. I got this shot through the front windshield of my van while I was stopped at the light. Not the best filter for the 70-200 I was using.
Happy Hump Day!!! My twin sister turned 45 today. I'm not acknowledging another year has passed. Denial.....ignorance is bliss, something like that works fine for me. I don't get carded anymore. I was so insulted I've stopped drinking and buying beer. Very sobering.
Opened in 1874, the cemetery lies at the juncton of Great Southern Road, with Riverside Drive and Allenvale Road with later extensions to the north of Allenvale Road Aberdeen Scotland.
I recently visited this cemetery, I was overwhelmed due to the number of war and lost at sea graves I viewed.
I will need to revisit as after three hours walking the grounds I still had only covered half of this massive cemetery ,so many war graves , I left feeling humble and appreciative of those who fought for our freedom, though still asking myself "Why?".
Aberdeen City and shire has many cemetery's, wherever I visit if there is a cemetery nearby I always walk the grounds and try to capture as many of Heroes graves that I can, my token of respect , hopeful that old soldiers, friend and family may find lost ones again.
Aberdeen has always been associated with the sea, trawlers, fishing , travel and now oil and gas , our cemetery's though have graves of many who lost their lives at sea, I capture their resting places too in honour of them in an effort to ensure their memories just like hero soldiers should never be forgotten .

I'm sitting here on pins and needles awaiting word about the birth of our Granddaughter. So I decided to go with the theme of Mama's here. I'm soooooo nervous and on edge...I can only imagine how Clint and Kellie are feeling.
I wanted to upload this shot last week, then I decided to keep it till Valentine's day! What a sad occasion and how this image is now more like candles for prayer rather than for romance!
May all those who again paid the price rest in peace!
Atleast let there be some love tomorrow!
And for those who I said leave us alone... well I guess you know!
This was taken on Fifth Avenue, between 45th and 46th Street.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Nov. 28, 2923.
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...
This is dedicated to all our men / women in uniform & their families ... past, present and future...
God bless you and Thank you! xoxoxo

I visited Springbank Cemetery on the 14th September 2018 ,a CWG cemetery that takes a good few hours to walk around.
Description

This memorial is located in Bucksburn Aberdeen a short drive from my home, I visited it after a fellow photographer posted some information on Facebook reference it’s history etc , I captured numerous photos and a few videos of it on a overcast autumn Saturday afternoon 3/11/2018.
Bucksburn
Inscription reads - “To the glory of God and in remembrance of the men of Newhills parish who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War 1914 – 1919 and 1939 – 1945. Their memory hallowed in the land they loved”
This memorial is constructed of granite and consists of a tapered triangular pillar resting on a circular stepped base. Rising from the pillar is an octagonal shaft surmounted by a lion and shield.
The panels below the shaft are inscribed with the names of the fallen of both World Wars. The Memorial garden was created by the Beacon Gardening Club with the help of various sponsors and children from local schools with a wrought ironwork banner, a cross and plaque from the local schools.
