About 25 miles south of the junction of Highway 31 and Highway 97 is Hole in the Ground. It's another place I needed to see before I die. Hole in the ground is an explosion crater. The hole is about a mile wide and the bottom is 300 feet below the surface. A road (4WD only) takes you along the rim and down to the bottom.
This is the first picture taken of Thor after his liberation from Reid's Stationery on 17th Avenue SW. I took it at the lookout behind my house just before I packed him up and sent him to Carolyn for her birthday. The view of the Calgary skyline is a little hazy, because there were lots of forest fires that year, and the city was smoky.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Elizabeth Board of Education President Stanley Neron visited Alexander Hamilton Preparatory Academy to speak to a group of young women from the school who attended a screening of Hidden Figures, a motion picture that tells the story of a team of African-American women mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the United States space program. The discussion with the students focused on the past and present societal struggles faced by women, especially women of color. During his visit to the school, Mr. Neron was also stunned and truly touched by the gesture of the students of Hamilton Preparatory Academy who helped him celebrate his birthday by throwing him a surprise party.

Lieutenant Commander George Nicholson Bradford VC (23 April 1887 – 23 April 1918) was an officer in the Royal Navy and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. His brother, Roland Bradford, was also awarded the Victoria Cross, making them the only brothers to be awarded the medal during the First World War.
Bradford was 30 years old and a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy during the First World War when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions on 22/23 April 1918 at Zeebrugge, Belgium, when in command of the naval storming parties embarked in HMS Iris II.[4] He died on 23 April 1918, his 31st birthday, committing the act for which he was awarded the cross. The citation for his Victoria Cross read:
For most conspicuous gallantry at Zeebrugge on the night of the 22nd–23rd April, 1918. This Officer was in command of the Naval Storming Parties embarked in Iris II. When Iris II proceeded alongside the Mole great difficulty was experienced in placing the parapet anchors owing to the motion of the ship. An attempt was made to land by the scaling ladders before the ship was secured. Lieutenant Claude E. K. Hawkings (late Erin) managed to get one ladder in position and actually reached the parapet, the ladder being crushed to pieces just as he stepped off it. This very gallant young officer was last seen defending himself with his revolver. He was killed on the parapet. Though securing the ship was not part of his duties, Lieut.-Commander Bradford climbed up the derrick, which carried a large parapet anchor and was rigged out over the port side; during this climb the ship was surging up and down and the derrick crashing on the Mole. Waiting his opportunity he jumped with the parapet anchor on to the Mole and placed it in position. Immediately after hooking on the parapet anchor Lieut.-Commander Bradford was riddled with bullets from machine guns and fell into the sea between the Mole and the ship. Attempts to recover his body failed. Lieut.-Commander Bradford's action was one of absolute self-sacrifice; without a moment's hesitation he went to certain death, recognising that in such action lay the only possible chance of securing Iris II and enabling her storming parties to land.
Brigadier-General Roland Boys Bradford, VC, MC (23 February 1892 – 30 November 1917) was a British Army officer and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. His elder brother, Lieutenant Commander George Bradford, was also awarded the Victoria Cross, making them the only pair of brothers to be awarded the medal during the First World War.
He was a lieutenant by the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.[citation needed] He was awarded the Military Cross in February 1915.[10][11]
On 1 October 1916, Bradford, now a temporary lieutenant colonel commanding the 9th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry, was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) for his actions at Eaucourt L'Abbaye, France. His citation for the award was published in the London Gazette on 25 November, reading:
For most conspicuous bravery and good leadership in attack, whereby he saved the situation on the right flank of his Brigade and of the Division. Lieutenant-Colonel Bradford's Battalion was in support. A leading Battalion having suffered very severe casualties, and the Commander wounded, its flank became dangerously exposed at close quarters to the enemy. Raked by machine-gun fire, the situation of the Battalion was critical. At the request of the wounded Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Bradford asked permission to command the exposed Battalion in addition to his own. Permission granted, he at once proceeded to the foremost lines. By his fearless energy under fire of all description, and his skilful leadership of the two Battalions, regardless of all danger, he succeeded in rallying the attack, captured and defended the objective, and so secured the flank.
On 13 November 1917, at the age of 25, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general; he was the youngest general officer in the British Army of modern times (and the youngest promoted professionally, earlier young generals were simply due to position). He was killed "by a stray German shell" at Cambrai, France, seventeen days later, on 30 November 1917

To be honest, anyone who visited the Botanic Gardens could have seen and photographed what I photographed but it is unlikely that they actually that they spoke to the artists about their work.
This is one of my favourite events of the year and it is usually the last event of the year for me.
As already mentioned I purchased a Sony HX-90V at a good price from Conns Cameras because it has GPS. Today was my first opportunity to us the GPS capability because I visited the Botanic Gardens in order to photograph many of the Sculptures that will feature in the "Sculpture In Context" exhibition which kicks off on Thursday. At present the sculptures that I have photographed have not been identified but I have GEO-Tagged them so that you can easily locate them if and when you visit.
During the rest of the month I will visit the exhibition at regular intervals.
Inaugurated in 8 BC it was the site of gladiatorial contests and fights with wild beasts. Seating between 15,000 and 16,000 people it rose to be more popular than the adjoining theatre.
Héviz, rund zwei bis drei Stunden südlich von Wien bzw. Budapest und ganz in der Nähe des berühmten Plattensees "Balaton", ist ein wundersamer Ort der Erholung: Das einzigartige, heiße Schwefelwasser aus einer Tiefe von 900 Metern macht es uns möglich, sogar Ende November im großen See des Ortes zu schwimmen! Ein großartiges Gefühl, ganz zu schweigen von den Gesundheitseffekten des heilsamen Wassers - auf der Haut alleine spüren wir die wohltuende Wirkung sofort ..!
Was es sonst alles in & um Héviz zu sehen bzw. zu erleben gibt, schildere ich Euch am Reiseblog über Ungarn : www.creativelena.com :)
