Taken at Sheinkin/King George junction in Tel Aviv on a hot and sunny August Friday. This child has been set for display by several Breslev religious people so that people will come and listen to what they have to say. I'm not sure if the decision to leave the details behind the child has been correct, but the purpose was to show that green sticker behind him - It is part of a Breslev saying that "Being always happy is a great Mitsva"

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
History of the 41st Regiment of Foot Fife & Drum Corps
The young men who served the English Crown during the 18th and 19th century as fifers and drummers were disciplined, courageous and held positions of responsibility. Sons of soldiers, they were old enough to take on a role in the regiment and its daily functions. It was up to these professional musicians to act as a communication system and as musical entertainment for the army. They played music to inspire the men, remind them of home, and to help them deal with the hardships of military life.
As duty drummers (a name used both for fifers and drummers), they took turns on a 24-hour guard shift and were expected to know and be able to beat play any Order at any time. Incompetence was not tolerated. They beat performed their duty calls every day, starting with Reveille to wake the garrison, and ending with the Taptoo to warn that the gates of the garrison were to close for the night.
41st Regiment of Foot Band of Music s a unique musical program , which focuses on the more popular, social music of the 18th and early 19th centuries. A Band of Music could be made up of officers, soldiers or civilian musicians, who provided entertainment for the upper classes through concerts, plays and dances. This music was quite different from the repertoire of the Fife and Drum Corps, whose main purpose was to act as a form of communication on the battlefields.

The university library by Basil Spence dominates the south side of the square.
George Square was laid out by James Brown in 1766 as a residential square of Georgian terraced houses for the affluent and upwardly mobile. Like many Edinburgh squares built later in the New Town, it was centred on a garden area for residents.
Much of the square was redeveloped in the post Second World War period under Basil Spence's plans commissioned by the university.
See: canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/122519/details/edinburgh+ge...
The main library underwent a £60m redevelopment project which has been completed. Read more about it in this archived article from Celsius: libraryarchitecture.wikispaces.com/University+of+Edinburg...

Earlier this month, Lori Zimmer of Art Nerd New York brought her art historic eye to heliumcowboy gallery in Hamburg, Germany in a group show called George Hearts Maria. Challenging her idea of a group show, Zimmer curated a show based on a sometimes forgotten decorative arts movement- the lover’s eye. Thirty contemporary artists including Shark Toof, Beau Stanton, Jon Burgerman, Allison Sommers, Jean Labourdette and Molly Crabapple were invited to reinterpret the late 18th Century trend, and the resulting pieces were installed in a site-specific mini gallery that invaded heliumcowboy’s already hanging group show.
