🌍 #ReisenImKopf: In 80 Bildern um die Welt. 🌏 🌎 Die Straßen von San Francisco scheinen wie gemacht für steile Verfolgungsjagden: So lernten viele in der gleichnamigen TV-Serie mit Karl Malden und Michael Douglas als seinen Juniorpartner die kalifornische Stadt am Pazifik kennen. Ihre zahlreichen Hügeln, die steil vom Meer ansteigen, bieten eine sensationelle Kulisse, in legendären Filmen verewigt: Von Bullitt mit dem megacoolen Steve McQueen in seinem Ford Mustang, The Rock mit Sean Connery und Nicolas Cage, bis zum Peter Bogdanovich Film mit Barbara Streisand, What's Up, Doc? Auf Websites kann man die Fahrtrouten nachschauen und dann mit einem der lustigen gelben, gocart-artigen Autos nachfahren. Ein Highlight: Lombard Street, die steilste Straße der Stadt, die nur in zahlreichen S-Kurven gefahren werden kann. San Franciscos Flair ist aus den verschmolzenen Kulturen geprägt: Das Italienische im Viertel North Beach, die ewige Gegenkultur in Haight-Ashbury, China Town, die Latino-Einflüsse im Mission District, die reichen, vorwiegend weißen Snobs mit der besten Aussicht auf Nob Hill. Und natürlich die Kino-reife Kulisse der Gefängnisinsel Alcatraz: Eine exzellente Audio-Führung macht schnell klar, dass das Leben in dieser Verbannung ein überaus schlechter Film war. Abends am besten ab nach Yoshi's, dem Jazzclub mit Fusion Kitchen in Oakland (es gibt auch einen Ableger in San Francisco).

a wonderful afternoon spent at Art Space in Portsmouth. Taken around by Natalie Dowse.
======
John Green spent forty years working as a 'dockie' in Portsmouth Dockyard. He is now working as a professional artist and hands that once hauled the rigging are now recording the glory days of Portsmouth Dockyard for posterity.
John was just fifteen when he was employed straight from school as a yard boy in the rigging section of Portsmouth Dockyard. His dad was a welder beyond the 'high walls' and he, like so many young men in the city, was destined to carry on the family tradition. As he began his apprenticeship an artistic talent first discovered in the classroom was forgotten. Almost half a century later John Green combines the two, spending time drawing and painting scenes and memories of dockyard life from a time when it dominated the city.
His images, constructed with mixed media, layering and an experimental approach to mark-making, recall the glory days of twenty thousand men working at the dockyard. One of his specific memories is of the huge phalanx of cyclists pouring out of the gates of the dockyard at 'muster time' - a sight to behold.

Wehrmachtsuntersuchungsgefängnis Neubau (WUG VII)
In Wien wurden von der Wehrmachtsjustiz fünf Gefängnisse betrieben: Die Zentrale (WUG X) befand sich in Favoriten, eine der Nebenstellen war im Bezirk Neubau eingerichtet. Das Gebäude wird heute als Kindergarten und Wohnhaus verwendet. Es war Teil eines Unrechtsregimes das Deserteure, Selbstverstümmler, Saboteure, Wehrdienstverweigerer, usw. verfolgte. Seit Mai 2014 trägt es eine Informationstafel das seine Geschichte während der NS-Zeit erzählt.
Geschichte vor 1938
Das Gebäude war in der Monarchie als „Schottenhof“ bekannt da es immer dem Schottenstift gehörte. 1825/1826 erbaut, war es Armen- und Versorgungshaus, stiftliches Weinhaus und -keller. Seit 1850 hatte im Gebäude das Bezirksgericht seinen Sitz; es war für die Bezirke Neubau und Mariahilf zuständig. Das Haus verfügte über viele Amtsräume und Gerichtssäle, im Inneren des U-förmigen Baus auch mehrere Arrestzellen. Das Bezirksgericht wurde in die Erste Republik übernommen, ab 1931 kam eine Polizeidienststelle im Haus dazu. Schon 1932 übernahm die Polizei das Gebäude zur Gänze, das Bezirkgericht zog aus. Wohl auch deshalb wurde das Gebäude während der Novemberpogrome 1938 für kurze Zeit von der Polizei genutzt: Gefangen genommene Juden und Jüdinnen, insbesondere aus den Umlandbezirken Mödling und Baden, wurden hier kurzzeitig festgehalten.
Baulichkeit
Das Gebäude liegt an der Ecke eines Häuserblocks, Ecke Burggasse und Hermanngasse. Die zwei Haupttrakte wiesen Büroräume und große Gerichtsräume auf – heute sind dort Wohnungen und ein Kindergarten. Im hinteren Teil gab es mehrere Hafträume und Arreste. In der Monarchie boten die Zellen Platz für rund 40 Personen sowie eine Isolierzelle, ob diese Kapazitäten in der Ersten Republik oder im Nationalsozialismus erweitert geworden sind ist unbekannt.
Haftanstalt für die Wehrmacht
Wann genau die Wehrmacht in Neubau ein Gefängnis einrichtete ist unklar, vermutlich erst 1944/1945. Die meisten Häftlinge wurden aus der Zentralen Haftanstalt in Favoriten (WUG X) hierher verlegt. Entweder weil sie auf ihr Gerichtsverfahren oder nach der Verurteilung auf die Verlegung in ein anderes Gefängnis warten mussten. Einige Gefangene wurden auch verurteilt, ihre Strafen aber zur „Frontbewährung“ ausgesetzt: Das bedeutete, dass sie zum Beispiel ohne Ausrüstung an gefährlichen Frontabschnitten Minen räumen oder Verwunderte bergen mussten. Vor solchen Einsätzen kamen die Gefangenen meist für einige Wochen ins WUG II im 2. Bezirk. Auch Todeskandidaten befanden sich in der Hermanngasse: Sie verbrachten hier die letzten Wochen vor ihrer Hinrichtung im Landgericht I oder dem Militärschießplatz Kagran. Auch andere NS-Organisationen, etwa die Gestapo, durften auf das Gebäude und die Gefangenen zugreifen.
Bedeutung
Das WUG VII war eines der vier Nebenstelle im Gefängnis-Netzwerk der Wiener Militärjustiz. Nur wenige Akten zu Verfahren der Wehrmachtsjustiz sind erhalten geblieben. Trotzdem lässt sich sagen, dass viele hundert Wehrmachtshäftlinge in der Hermanngasse 38 einsaßen – Größtenteils wohl Untersuchungs-Häftlinge und Verurteilte, die auf ihren Weitertransport in die verschiedenen Formen des Wehrmachtstrafvollzugs warteten.
Befreiung April 1945
Über die Tage während der Befreiung ist nichts genaues bekannt. Die Haftanstalt wurde bis Ende März 1945 schrittweise evakuiert, die Gefangenen Richtung Westen getrieben. Ebenso wenig weiß man über den „leitenden Hauptmann“ des WUG VII, Emil Riedel. Nach der Befreiung 1945 übernahm das Schottenstift das Gebäude wieder, es beherbergte Büros, ein katholisches Verbindungsheim und seit 1984/85 einen Pfarrkindergarten. 2010 ließ das Stift das Haus grundlegend umbauen, die ehemaligen Zellen wurden zu Wohnraum umgewandeln. Nach Abschluss der Renovierung brachten am 8.Mai Mai 2014 der Abt des Schottenstiftes (Abt Johannes Jung) und der Neubauer Bezirksvorsteher (Thomas Blimlinger) eine Informationstafel zur Geschichte des Gebäudes an.
a detail from neoclassic archeology museum building in istanbul which was constructed during ottoman period. the detail also shows the confusion of cultures.
Sam, Mikaela and the Doctor finally reach the top of the surprisingly large Rift construction! Sam opens the door and...
Doctor: 'Look! They just started to open it!'
Beams of energy burst from the TARDIS into the sky, somehow tapping into the vast power of the Doctor's living ship! Sam and Mikaela marvel at how the TARIS hasn't even been restrained! It is simply a slave to the Dalek/ Quintesson device! Meanwhile, high above the TARDIS opens a tear in the fabric of time and space!
The Doctor reaches into his pocket and pulls out a simple key. He puts it into the lock on the door of his ship.
I wish the light had been better. In Flames seemed to like the darker lights with bright lights arranged behind them with gave the crowd a cool show but caused a lot of back-lighting.

In The Shadow of Wounded Knee: Life on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
An unkept park in the village of Pine Ridge, littered with beer cans. There are few, if any, public spaces that are taken care of in Pine Ridge. There are also no libraries.
On the Great Plains, hidden away on little traveled back roads, is the place formerly known as American Prisoner of War Camp Number 334. It is now known as the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, home of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux). They are the tribe that suffered the infamous Wounded Knee Massacre, in December of 1890, in which over one hundred unarmed women and children were killed. Since that day Wounded Knee, and the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, have been a symbol of the wrongs inflicted on Native Americans by the descendants of Europeans. Pine Ridge is the quintessential example of the failures of the reservation system, with staggering statistics on everything from violent crime to education.
Sadly, Pine Ridge continues to be the setting for an ongoing massacre within the tribe. Gangs on the reservation are out of control, and the violence they live by grips even the smallest villages. Unemployment on the reservation fluctuates between 85-90 percent. Recent reports vary but many point out that the median income on the Pine Ridge Reservation is approximately $2,600 to $3,500 per year. The housing office is unable to afford to build new structures, and existing structures are falling apart. Many are homeless, and those with homes are packed into rotting buildings with up to 5 families. Frequently, grandparents are raising their grandchildren because their own children have succumbed to alcoholism, domestic violence, and general apathy. Making life even more grim, fifty percent of the population over 40 suffers from diabetes and the life expectancy for men is a mere 48 years.
Common Crane
The common crane (Grus grus), also known as the Eurasian crane, is a bird of the family Gruidae, the cranes.
A medium-sized species, it is the only crane commonly found in Europe besides the demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo). Along with the sandhill (Grus canadensis) and demoiselle cranes and the brolga (Grus rubicunda), it is one of only four crane species not currently classified as threatened with extinction or conservation dependent on the species level.
The common crane is a large, stately bird and a medium-sized crane. It is 100–130 cm (39–51 in) long with a 180–240 cm (71–94 in) wingspan. The body weight can range from 3 to 6.1 kg (6.6 to 13.4 lb), with the nominate subspecies averaging around 5.4 kg (12 lb) and the eastern subspecies (G. g. lilfordi) averaging 4.6 kg (10 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 50.7–60.8 cm (20.0–23.9 in) long, the tarsus is 20.1–25.2 cm (7.9–9.9 in) and the exposed culmen is 9.5–11.6 cm (3.7–4.6 in).
This species is slate-grey overall. The forehead and lores are blackish with a bare red crown and a white streak extending from behind the eyes to the upper back. The overall colour is darkest on the back and rump and palest on the breast and wings. The primaries, the tips of secondaries, the alula, the tip of the tail, and the edges of upper tail coverts are all black and the greater coverts droop into explosive plumes. This combination of colouration ultimately distinguishes it from similar species in Asia, like the hooded (G. monacha) and black-necked cranes (G. nigricollis). The juvenile has yellowish-brown tips to its body feathers and lacks the drooping wing feathers and the bright neck pattern of the adult, and has a fully feathered crown. Every two years, before migration, the adult common crane undergoes a complete moult, remaining flightless for six weeks, until the new feathers grow.
It has a loud trumpeting call, given in flight and display. The call is piercing and can be heard from a considerable distance. It has a dancing display, leaping with wings uplifted.
This species is found in the northern parts of Europe and Asia. Formerly the species was spread as far west as Ireland, but about 200 years ago, it became extinct there. However, it has since started to return to Ireland naturally and there are now plans to help it return to Ireland on a greater scale. The common crane is an uncommon breeder in southern Europe, smaller numbers breeding in Greece, former-Yugoslavia, Romania, Denmark and Germany. Larger breeding populations can be found in Scandinavia, especially Finland and Sweden. The heart of the breeding population for the species is in Russia, however, where possibly up to 100,000 cranes of this species can be found seasonally. In Russia, it is distributed as a breeder from the Ukraine region to the Chukchi Peninsula. The breeding population extends as far south as Manchuria but almost the entire Asian breeding population is restricted to Russia.
The species is a long distance migrant predominantly wintering in northern Africa. Autumn migration is from August to October and spring migration is in March through May. Important staging areas occur anywhere from Sweden and Germany to China (with a large one around the Caspian Sea) and many thousand cranes can be seen in one day in the Autumn. Some birds winter in southern Europe, including Portugal, Spain and France. Most eastern common cranes winter in the river valleys of Sudan, Ethiopia, Tunisia and Eritrea with smaller numbers in Turkey, northern Israel, Iraq and parts of Iran. The third major wintering region is in the northern half of Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan. Minimal wintering also occurs in Burma, Vietnam and Thailand. Lastly, they winter in eastern China, where they are often the most common crane (outnumbering black-necked cranes ten-to-one). Migrating flocks fly in a "V" formation.
It is a rare visitor to Japan and Korea, mostly blown over from the Chinese wintering population, and is a rare vagrant to western North America, where birds are occasionally seen with flocks of migrating sandhill cranes.
In Europe, the common crane predominantly breeds in boreal and taiga forest and mixed forests, from an elevation of sea-level to 2,200 m (7,200 ft). In northern climes, it breeds in treeless moors, on bogs, or on dwarf heather habitats, usually where small lakes or pools are also found. In Sweden, breeders are usually found in small, swampy openings amongst pine forests, while in Germany, marshy wetlands are used. Breeding habitat used in Russia are similar, though they can be found nesting in less likely habitat such as steppe and even semi-desert, so long as water is near. Primarily, the largest number of common cranes are found breeding in wooded swamps, bogs and wetlands and seem to require quiet, peaceful environs with minimal human interference. They occur at low density as breeders even where common, typically ranging from 1 to 5 pairs per 100 km2 (39 sq mi).
In winter, this species moves to flooded areas, shallow sheltered bays, and swampy meadows. During the flightless moulting period there is a need for shallow waters or high reed cover for concealment. Later, after the migration period, the birds winter regularly in open country, often on cultivated lands and sometimes also in savanna-like areas, for example on the Iberian Peninsula.
The global population is 600,000 (2014 estimate) with the vast majority nesting in Russia and Scandinavia. In some areas the breeding population appears to be increasing, such as in Sweden, whereas on the fringes of its range, it is often becoming rare to non-existent. In Great Britain, the common crane became extirpated in the 17th century, but a tiny population now breeds again in the Norfolk Broads and is slowly increasing and a reintroduction has been underway since 2010 for the Somerset levels. In Ireland, it died out as a breeding species in the 18th century, but a flock of about 30 appeared in County Cork in November 2011, and a smaller flock a year later. It was additionally extirpated as a breeder from Austria around 1900, from Hungary by 1952 and from Spain by 1954. The recovering German breeding population of 8,000 pairs is still also a fraction of the size of the large numbers that once bred in the country. Poland has 15,000 breeding pairs, 50 pairs breed in the Czech Republic and 2009 was the first confirmed breeding in Slovakia.
The main threat to the species, and the primary reason for its decline in the Western Palearctic, comes from habitat loss and degradation, as a result of dam construction, urbanisation, agricultural expansion, and drainage of wetlands. Although it has adapted to human settlement in many areas, nest disturbance, continuing changes in land use, and collision with utility lines are still potential problems. Further threats may include persecution due to crop damage, pesticide poisoning, egg collection, and hunting. The common crane is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

For those of you out there in colder climates, snow is a daily routine. For those of us in San Francisco it's a once every 35 year occurrence. Snow DID fall in San Francisco last night, and in between covering galleries, we we're able to pull over at 10:50 pm and watch blizzard conditions for roughly 8 minutes at Taraval and 19th Ave. in the Sunset. As quickly as it fell, the storm passed, and that was it. :)
