This market opened in November 2008 and has now become a must see feature of Pattaya. It covers an area of about 100,000 square metres. It is divided into areas each with its own unique representation of the four areas of Thailand, Northern, Central, North Eastern and Southern. Because each area offers its own blend of culture, food and traditions. When it first opened entrance to the market was free. However some one must have thought it would be a good idea to start charging 200 Baht to get in. This to me seems weird paying to get into a place that then wants you to purchase items from the market. You could also look at it another way. It is said that the whole market cost over 350 million Baht and does offer a pleasant and relaxing day out. I guess at 200 Baht it will be a long time before they get the opening and building costs back.
The car park at this very popular sightseeing venue is usually very full with coaches, taxis and private cars. Usually taxi drivers get parked. I went on a large motorbike once I hired from Beach road in Pattaya and the security guards and parking attendants swarmed round me and my friend as soon as we arrived. A large motorbike is not usually seen around Thailand unless driven by a Farang ( foreigner ). We had a parking spot within seconds of arriving and the bike was guarded while we toured the market, for a small fee I might add! I have been many times to this floating market I love the atmosphere here. The choice of food, drinks, and the usual bric a brac and the not so usual. When I have been in taxis we have never had a problem getting parked.
As you walk through the car park area, across the road is another tourist attraction, Jurassic Garden Dinosaur Adventure, I visited this on the 11th July 2011. Along with the floating market again. Entering the floating market on my latest visit on the 27th June 2014 nothing had changed much from my last visit. Walking around on the wooden planked walkways brought back many memories. I love this floating market it feels good here. The friendliness of the shop keepers and the people that visit here all help to make it a great day trip.
The choice of goods here is vast, on one stall I visited a Thai man happily carved soap sculptures out of coloured soap they looked so delicate the way he carved flowers out of them. I have bought these before else where. They don’t last forever being made out of soap but expect about 5 or 6 years you can see them every day until they just decay I think is the right word. If it’s not the right word lets just say they don’t look the same after that time! One new addition is a mime man on one of the bridges here. You have to put money in a tip box for him to do anything. If you enjoy him just standing there, then don’t tip him, he wont move!
Near to here a rope bridge has been added it swings about over the water and feels totally unsafe, as most rope bridges are. But many people tried the walk over it, even myself taking photos and shooting videos of the trip across. Another new addition, which I had not seen before in any floating market, was Koi fish being fed milk from mini babies bottles. I use to keep Koi fish and so I know they are easy to train when they know food is about. I use to hand feed some of mine, but you always get the odd few that stay timid most of their life. These however fought and jostled for their feed. At 50 Baht it was worth the show to watch them fight over who would get to the bottle first. The water around this floating market looks very muddy and dirty but believe me in hot sunlight, the fish love this kind of water the best. As long as you don’t swim in the water you will be ok!
At the rear of the market it looks like space is being cleared to expand this already large market. It would be great if they did, you could definitely spend all day here then. One coffee shop I tried overlooking this sold some very good coffee, freshly made. It was not expensive, which surprised me. The trip this time was unique it was so quiet here. A sign of the times I guess, recession hits everywhere.
More than 80 paddle boats are on here to ferry visitors around the market waterways and along the many Thai style teak wood buildings, linked by a network of canals, bridges and several different sized islands with exotic plants and trees planted. The boat trip will slowly show you the richness of the surrounding architectural and cultural river side living. Water vendors moving with their paddle boats from dock to dock and offering their unique range of freshly cooked delicious traditional Thai dishes. Many of them are moored around this market and you can stand and watch them prepare great tasting Thai food along with food from all over the world on some.
Pattaya floating market provides several daily cultural shows which are native to the four regions of the country, like Thai classical dance, martial art demonstrations, as well as water boxing where the fighters perform on a horizontal slippery pole above the water. Painters show their wonderful works on items such as umbrellas and portrait painters produce stunning paintings of still life, portraits and views around the world. An agricultural rice field demonstration has now been added and authentic House-boats for home stay, and ten mud-houses just right beside the rice field zone enable you to enjoy an overnight stay here.

Berlin, "Municipal Baths Reloaded", Video art and light installations in the Lichtenberg Municipal Baths: View through the glazing of the edge of the pool cover in the Small Hall to an access steps and a video shown there
Als Lichtenberg 1907 in den Rang einer Stadt erhoben wurde und sein erstes Rathaus besaß, plante die Stadtverwaltung auch die entsprechenden städtischen Einrichtungen wie ein Amtsgericht, ein Krankenhaus, ein Entbindungsheim, Schulen und ein Volksbad. Die Kommune erwarb ein 3800 m² großes Grundstück an der Frankfurter Allee und gründete eine Kommission für die Erbauung einer Volksbadeanstalt, besetzt mit sieben Stadtverordneten und sieben Bürgerdeputierten. Architekten lieferten sogar in der Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs Baupläne für eine solche öffentliche Badeeinrichtung. Der erste Spatenstich erfolgte im Jahr 1919 und die Fundamente wurden gelegt. Weil Lichtenberg 1920 als Bezirk nach Groß-Berlin eingemeindet wurde und seinen Stadtstatus verlor (und sicherlich auch wegen knapper Kassen unmittelbar nach dem Krieg), wurden die Bauarbeiten eingestellt. Erst 1925, nach Überwindung der Inflation, wurde weitergebaut, nachdem die Ingenieur-Architekten Rudolf Gleye und Otto Weis die vorhandenen Pläne aktualisiert hatten. Es entstand ein mehrgliedriger kubischer Baukörper im Stil des Expressionismus mit – nach damaligen Vorstellungen – sehr modernen Ausstattungen:
Die Einweihung des Hubertusbades nahm der Berliner Oberbürgermeister Gustav Böß am 2. Februar 1928 vor. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschädigte eine Sprengbombe das Gebäude an der Nordwestseite, es blieb aber noch funktionstüchtig. Außerdem gingen durch die Druckwellen die meisten Scheiben zu Bruch. Das Bad wurde notdürftig repariert. Als im Zusammenhang mit der Errichtung kompletter Neubauviertel in den östlichen Stadtbezirken ab Ende der 1960er Jahre dort auch neue lichtdurchflutete Schwimmhallen entstanden, verlor das Hubertusbad seine über den Bezirk hinausgehende Bedeutung. Hinzu kam, dass nun Baumängel, die bereits seit der Fertigstellung vorhanden waren, immer gravierender wurden, 1988 musste deshalb zunächst die große Halle geschlossen werden. Grund war ein Defekt an der Wasseraufbereitungs- und Heizungsanlage, der sich nicht mehr beheben ließ. Nach dem Mauerfall und dem schrittweisen Zusammenwachsen der gesamten Stadt galten die bisherigen bundesdeutschen Vorschriften für solche Einrichtungen, Geld für Reparaturen stand nun auch nicht mehr bereit. Als 1991 die Hauptwasserzuführung kaputtging, mussten auch die kleine Halle und alle anderen Badeinrichtungen geschlossen werden. Die kleine Halle diente dann zweckentfremdet als Lagerhalle.. Im Jahr 2016 fasste der Senat von Berlin einen Entschluss, der einer Wiederbelebung des Bades einen großen Schritt näher kam: der Komplex bleibt Eigentum des Landes Berlin. Im Auftrag der Stadt kümmert sich seitdem das Unternehmen Berliner Immobilienmanagement (BIM) um Möglichkeiten der Nachnutzung.
Eine Wiederaufnahme des Badebetriebes ist wegen der hohen Investitionskosten und der Unwirtschaftlichkeit eines laufenden Betriebes nicht mehr vorgesehen. Daher soll das Stadtbad Lichtenberg sowohl Veranstaltungsort als auch Begegnungszentrum im Kiez werden. Zur langfristigen Erreichung dieses Zieles wurde ein Zwei-Stufen-Plan beschlossen und unter Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit in einem Konkretisierungs- und Planungsworkshop vertieft: Im ersten Bauabschnitt, der Anfang des Jahres 2022 abgeschlossen war, wurden aus dem Haus mehrere Tonnen Bauschutt entfernt sowie Elektroanschlüsse und Sanitäranlagen im linken (östlichen) Gebäudeteil wieder hergerichtet. Über das Becken der ehemaligen Frauenschwimmhalle wurde ein Holzboden gezogen, auf dem seit 2022 Ausstellungen und andere Events stattfinden können. Auf diesem Parkettboden können bis zu 200 Personen platziert werden. Hier finden temporäre Veranstaltungen statt, wie die, die wir besucht haben. Sie heißt "Stadtbad Reloaded" und führt die Gäste auf einen spannenden Rundgang durch das Haus, welches mit beeindruckenden Lichtinstallationen und über 157 digitalen Kunstwerken in allen Ecken wieder zum Leben erwacht.

When Lichtenberg was elevated to the status of a town in 1907 and had its first town hall, the town council also planned the corresponding municipal facilities such as a district court, a hospital, a maternity home, schools and a public swimming pool. The municipality acquired a 3,800 square metre plot of land on Frankfurter Allee and set up a commission for the construction of a public baths, consisting of seven city councillors and seven citizen deputies. Architects even provided construction plans for such a public bathing facility during the First World War. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in 1919 and the foundations were laid. Because Lichtenberg was incorporated into Greater Berlin as a borough in 1920 and lost its city status (and no doubt also due to a shortage of funds immediately after the war), construction work was halted. It was not until 1925, after the inflation had been overcome, that building work resumed after the engineer-architects Rudolf Gleye and Otto Weis had updated the existing plans. The result was a multi-storey cubic building in the Expressionist style with - according to the ideas of the time - very modern fixtures and fittings. The Hubertusbad was inaugurated by the Lord Mayor of Berlin, Gustav Böß, on 2 February 1928. During the Second World War, a high-explosive bomb damaged the building on the north-west side, but it remained functional. Most of the windows were also broken by the blast waves. The baths were provisionally repaired. When new, light-flooded swimming pools were built in the eastern boroughs at the end of the 1960s in connection with the construction of entire new neighbourhoods, the Hubertus Baths lost its importance beyond the borough. In addition, construction defects, which had been present since completion, became increasingly serious, and in 1988 the large hall had to be closed. The reason was a defect in the water treatment and heating system that could no longer be repaired.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the gradual merging of the entire city, the regulations for such facilities in vigour in West Germany applied and there was no longer any money available for repairs. When the main water supply broke in 1991, the small hall and all other bathing facilities had to be closed. The small hall was then misused as a warehouse. In 2016, the Berlin Senate took a decision that brought the revitalisation of the baths a big step closer: the complex remains property of the state of Berlin. Since then, the Berlin Real Estate Management Administration (BIM) has been working on behalf of the city to find ways to reutilise the site. Due to the high investment costs and the inefficiency of the operation of the pools, it is no longer planned to resume bathing activities. The Lichtenberg Municipal Baths are therefore to become both a venue for events and a meeting centre in the neighbourhood. In order to achieve this goal in the long term, a two-stage plan was adopted and further developed with the participation of the public in a concretisation and planning workshop:
In the first construction phase, which was completed at the beginning of 2022, several tonnes of rubble were removed from the building and electrical connections and sanitary facilities were restored in the left-hand (eastern) part of the building. A wooden floor was laid over the pool of the former women's swimming pool, which has been used for exhibitions and other events since 2022. Up to 200 people can be seated on this parquet floor. Temporary events take place here, like the one we visited. It is called ‘Municipal Baths Reloaded’ and takes guests on an exciting tour of the building, which comes back to life with impressive light installations and over 157 digital artworks in every corner.

CLICK to see some of my other dog pictures
One of the reason I like to photograph dogs, especially in action, is their contagious joy and happiness when they are free to run and play in large open spaces. When I review the captures later on, like today, the same feelings emerge once again. That's the magic of freezing a moment, and reliving it through photography.
Here is Nala on a fast run on the beach after her red ball. Her expression says it all!

Brownsea Island sits in Poole harbour it is the second largest natural harbour in the world, second only to Sydney harbour in Australia. Brownsea Island ( was also known as Branksea ) is the largest of the islands in Poole Harbour in the county of Dorset, England. The island is owned by the National Trust. Much of the island is open to the public and includes areas of woodland and heath with a wide variety of wildlife, together with cliff top views across Poole Harbour and the Isle of Purbeck. The island was the location of an experimental camp in 1907 that led to the formation of the Scout movement the following year. Access is by public ferry or private boat; in 2017 the island received 133,340 visitors. The ferry trip itself is well worth the time. When I went it was £11.50 return trip. But on the way back the ferry takes a scenic route round the islands to arrive back at Poole Quay.
The island was purchased by wealthy stockbroker Charles van Raalte who used the island as a residential holiday retreat. During this time the castle was renovated and served as host to famous visitors such as Guglielmo Marconi. Robert Baden-Powell, a close friend of the van Raaltes, hosted an experimental camp for boys on the island in the summer of 1907. Brownsea was largely self-supporting, with a kitchen garden and a dairy herd. Many of the pottery factory workers had stayed on after it closed, farming and working for the owners. Charles van Raalte died in Calcutta in 1907 and his wife eventually sold the island in 1925. In 1927 it was purchased at auction by Mary Bonham-Christie for £125,000. A recluse by nature, she ordered a mass eviction of the island's residents to the mainland. The National Trust then agreed to take over responsibility for the island if enough funds were raised and in 1962 it then purchased Brownsea for £100,000. Work was carried out to prepare the island for visitors; tracks were cleared through areas overgrown with rhododendrons and firebreaks were created to prevent repetition of the 1934 fire.
Brownsea Island lies in Poole Harbour opposite the town of Poole. It is the largest of eight islands in the harbour. The island can be reached by one of the public ferries or by private boat. There is a wharf and a small dock near the main castle. The island is about 1 1⁄2 miles ( 2.4 km ) long and 3⁄4 mile ( 1.2 km ) wide and consists of 500 acres of woodland ( pine and oak trees ), heathland and salt-marsh. The entire island, except the church and a few other buildings which are leased or managed by third parties, is owned by the National Trust. Most of the buildings are situated near the small landing stage. The northern portion of the island is a Nature Reserve managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust and an important habitat for birds; this part of the island has limited public access so as not to disturb the wildlife.. A small portion to the southeast of the island, along with Brownsea Castle, is leased to the John Lewis Partnership for use as a holiday hotel for staff, and is not open to the public. The island forms part of the Studland civil parish in the Purbeck local government district. It is within the South Dorset constituency of the House of Commons and the South West England constituency of the European Parliament.
In all the time I have lived in this area I never knew there was a very lovely Church on the Island and managed to take photos and videos of my visit there both inside and out. St Mary’s Church was built in 1853, the church remains very much as it was then - its organ is pumped by hand and the only lighting comes from candles. It's a Victorian church that isfixed in the past so with no electricity or water supply. But its regular spring and summer services can attract congregations between 3 and 300 - and it remains an important part of Brownsea's small island community. A Family Service is held at St.Mary’s at 3.00pm every Sunday from May to September.
From 1st August until 8th in August 1907, Robert Baden-Powell held an experimental camp on the island, to test out his Scouting ideas. He gathered 21 boys of mixed social backgrounds ( from boy's schools in the London area and a section of boys from the Poole, Parkstone,Hamworthy, Bournemouth, and Winton Boys' Brigade units ) and held a week-long camp. The boys took part in activities such as camping, observation, woodcraft, chivalry, lifesaving and patriotism. Following the successful camp, Baden-Powell published his first book on the Scouting movement in 1908, Scouting for Boys, and the international Scouting movement grew rapidly. Boy Scouts continued to camp on the island until the 1930’s, when all public access to the island was forbidden by the island's owner. After ownership of the island transferred to the National Trust, a permanent 20 hectares or 49 acres Scout camp site was opened in 1963 by Olave Baden-Powell. In August 2007, 100 years after the first experimental camp, Brownsea Island was the focus of worldwide celebrations of the centenary of Scouting.

Blue skies may be delightful at times but in the midst of severe drought, they are frightful. I took these images off the television at lunchtime today ~ unusually warm temperatures, gusting Santa Ana winds, not a drop of rain in sight. We're under Red Flag warnings, which means severe fire danger. I hope I don't see any fire more devastating than the two pictured. These are frightening enough!

Car 972 in traffic, Carondelet Street at Gravier Street.
The St. Charles line has a very long history. It opened with steam traction on 1835 September 26. Electric traction was placed in service on 1893 February 1.
The cars were built in 1923 and 1924 by the Perley A. Thomas Car Works, High Point, North Carolina (this company is now named "Thomas Built Buses"). Thomas built 73 of the 900-series cars, of which 35 remain in service.
The 900-series cars have two motors, one in each bogie ("truck"). One thing I noticed back in 1972 was that these cars accelerated slowly - very slowly. Late at night, the trip from Canal Street to S. Claiborne St. could be completed is significantly less time, because of fewer stops.

"In der falle" (in the trap) - puzzle from Germany.
Superb puzzle quite difficult for its size, the caterpillar-shaped pieces are very regular, so they can be easily confused.
We redid a piece, put paper back on 2 knobs and glued a lot of paper back. The box was also consolidated.
The scene is known, but I did not find its author or its title.
I love this puzzle on all points, the humorous scene and the type of cutting unusual in French puzzles. a must !
St Mary, Monewden, Suffolk
Monewden, pronounced Mon-a-d'n, has a church which is one of the loveliest of all small Suffolk churches, set in the rolling hills to the south of Framlingham. It is elegant and trim, and certainly not run of the mill. The tower, nave and chancel are all basically 14th century, although there are some hints of an earlier church. The beautiful red brick porch was built right on the eve of the Reformation, and its niches would hardly be used at all, before the images in them were taken out and destroyed by the Anglican reformers of the 1540s.
Like many smaller East Anglian churches, St Mary suffered neglect in the centuries afterwards, and it was not until 1906 that it was taken to task and properly restored to the state you see it in today. Because of this it has a special atmosphere, at once intensely rustic, but also with that flavour of Anglo-catholic triumphalism which was reaching a peak in the first decade of the 20th century. The Anglo-catholic tide has receded, and there is no evidence that it was ever a strong current here, but still it has left its mark. In 1906, the enthusiasm for ritualism in the Church of England was at its height, and the church was refurbished with this in mind, that the building had a sacramentalist purpose. The focus eastwards was enhanced here by one of the few wooden chancel arches in Suffolk. It is at once simple and elegant, and draws the eye towards Edward Woore's window of the Crucifixion, installed here after the Second War as a memorial to it.
High up in the tracery of the east window there is a 14th Century shield, which James Bettley identified as being that of Thomas Bretherton, Earl of Norfolk. The other glass in the south and north windows consists of the coloured, frosted lozenges that were popular at the start of the 20th Century. Normally I don't like these, but here these seem to create a calm intimacy that is much in keeping. The window splay on the north side is deep, and the rood loft stairway climbs up from it. I think that it is lovely. It was as if all the turbulent history of the English Church had conspired to leave something so beautiful.
When this church was newly restored, the young men of the village went off to the killing fields of France, and some of them never came back. There are six names on the war memorial, which must have made a significant impact on a parish where the population was never more than a couple of hundred. Opposite the memorial is the cross which marked the original grave of Sergent Cyril H Tarrant, 12th Bn - The Suffolk Regt.
Cyril Harold Tarrant died in Flanders on the 29th of July 1918, and his body now lies in the Tournai communal cemetery in Belgium, not far from the French border. He was just 23 years old when he died. Opposite his cross there is a rather more elaborate memorial to Geoffrey Charles Martin. At the age of just nineteen, he was killed in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. His body was never found: he is one of nearly 80,000 lost boys remembered on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing. Geoffrey Martin lies at peace, somewhere under fields which are now as quiet as those which roll and stretch across the parish he set out from, and to which he never returned.
Il brutto anatroccolo si è trasformato in cigno ma non è servito a
nulla. E' la prima volta che mi succede con un cane di Castrovillari.
Non ho molte parole perché sono troppo delusa.
Sarà che Cecilia lho avuta in casa per 24 giorni, lho portata dal
veterinario, ho raccolto la sua cacca nella mia cucina, lho vista
mangiare famelica dalla ciotola come un piccolo pirana, l'ho curata
dalla coccidiosi, ho preso il primo sole di fine inverno con lei al
parco, le ho preparato gustosi pranzetti, lho fatta conoscere ai miei
amici.
Sarà che stava diventando una signorina a modo: lho portata perfino al
Fuori Salone nei giorni del salone del mobile di Milano e lei se ne
andava in giro compita al guinzaglio tra gli oggetti di design senza far
pipì su nulla; sarà che le piaceva il vino bianco e dovevo stare attenta
a non farla avvicinare se no infilava il musino nel bicchiere e loppava
con avidità e mi faceva molto ridere: mai vista una cucciola affetta da
etilismo.
Saràche le voglio bene. Sarà che lho aiutata a crescere.
Sarà che io mi occupo di cani randagi e cerco di farli adottare al
meglio ma io ho già i miei animali e se dovessi tenerli tutti mi
denuncerebbero alla Asl.
Sarà che IO HO FATTO UN'ADOZIONE SBAGLIATA DI CECI A MILANO (COLPA MIA)
e la piccola in quel clima di tensione piangeva tutta la notte, mentre
da me era un angioletto e dormiva tutta la notte da sola in cucina (ho
35 metri quadri, due stanze e due gatti killer) e quando aprivo la porta
per fare colazione era tutto uno scodinzolio e una festa che illuminava
le mie mattine.
Per fortuna lho ritirata dopo pochi giorni da quelladozione sbagliata
e quando mi ha vista moriva di gioia.
E poi era arrivata quella che a me sembrava ladozione perfetta, in
campagna, da una ragazza matura che Ceci ha mostrato di ADORARE da
subito tanto che mi sono un po infantilmente offesa perché non mi ha
guardato per tutta la giornata e non mi ha nemmeno salutato.
La sua adottante mi aveva chiesto un periodo di prova ma prima della
scadenza mi ha mandato una mail splendida dicendo che Ceci sarebbe stata
parte per sempre della sua famiglia e che con la sua altra cucciola
erano diventate inseparabili.
Sarà che le persone, anche quelle che amano i cani, non capiscono che
lamore richiede tempo e pazienza e se si ha già un cucciolo che "va
bene" è rischioso renderne un altro . Meglio un adulto con il carattere
già formato. Non ci pensano a quanta sofferenza e problemi provocano.
Pensano che tu volontario gli debba risolvere il problema, che loro non
c'entrano niente, già ti hanno fatto un piacere ad adottarla COME SE
GLIEL'AVESSI MESSA IN CASA DI FORZA TU!
Insomma Cecilia deve andarsene. A ridosso delle vacanze poi la notizia
è ancora piu lieta e le opportunità di trovarle casa in fretta e bene
sterminate!
Pare sia diventata un giamburrasca acchiappa galline che salta il
recinto e va a disturbare i vicini. Con me, in città, era un angioletto.
Lo so che le sto togliendo ogni possibilità perché ora voi
penserete che non si adatterà piu in città e che per la campagna non va
bene perché è diventata una cagnolina da caccia, sensibile a ogni
richiamo olfattivo. MA ANCHE I CANI DA CACCIA (TRA L'ALTRO TUTTI
DOLCISSIMI) HANNO SPLENDIDE ADOZIONI! NON MI SEMBRA CHE NESSUNO LI
VOGLIA! ANZI SE NE VEDONO MOLTISSIMI ANCHE NELLE CITTA
Ora smetto di scrivere.
Di quella che è diventata una splendida cagnolina elegante che non
riconosco piu so solo che ora pesa 9 chili e che il veterinario ha detto
che diventerà 18 o 20 chili.
Vedete se volete salvare questa creatura: va daccordo con tutti i cani
e i gatti, non soffre di ansia da separazione, ama le coccole, NON E' UN
MOLOSSO FEROCE DA RIEDUCARE.
E solo una cucciola di 6 mesi sballottata qua e là.
Grazie a tutti

Pretty little girl makes birds nest out of grass clippings, and cherries become the eggs!
I made this photo at a summer party and this little girl just came up to me and showed me her art. She has incredible eyes!
