Jubilee City Theater
Object ID: 62048, Theater square 4
Cadastral Community: Klagenfurt. The pavilion-style Art Nouveau building with figurative sculptural decoration and representative interior was built in 1908-1910 and extended by Günther Domenig in 1996 to include an extension.
The Stadttheater Klagenfurt is an urban theater of the city Klagenfurt in Austria.
History
The annex by Günther Domenig
The first theater was built between 1605 and 1620 as a ballroom for the aristocracy and served their social pleasures. With time, there were more and more Italian guest appearances, who on the journey from Venice to Vienna liked to stay in Klagenfurt. The Ballhaus thus integrated more and more into the Austrian theater scene of the 17th and 18th centuries and was gradually rebuilt into a theater house. The actual opening as a theater took place in 1737. The theater was subordinate to the country estates of Carinthia. Towards the end of the 18th century, the theater was also gradually opened to intellectuals, military and civil servants. In 1811, the initially wooden theater was completely rebuilt in stone, this is called the "Old Theater".
In 1908 the ground was broken for the "New Theater", as the old one was in a dilapidated condition. On 22 September 1910, the new theater, which was dubbed on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I "Emperor Franz Joseph I Jubilee Theater", was opened. It was built by the Viennese architect's office Büro Fellner & Helmer as an almost identical copy of the Stadttheater in Gießen (Germany Land of Hesse) and Gablonz (Jablonec nad Nisou, town in norther Bohemia), which were built before in the years 1906 and 1907.
In the 1960s, further extensions were made, inter alia, the number of standing places was reduced and an annex for the stage house was created. Intendant was from 1968 to 1992 Herbert Wochinz. From 1996 to 1998, the Stadttheater was rebuilt and expanded to plans by Günther Domenig.
The era Pflegerl
Intendant was from 1992 to 2007, the Nestroy Prize winner Dietmar Pflegerl. Dietmar Pflegerl's Intendanz, which lasted from 1992 until his death in 2007, can be regarded as the most important time for the Klagenfurt City Theater. Pflegerl did not only cause people to sit up and take notice with the new style of the three-section theater, but also with socially critical pieces and productions, which he brought to the stage, and this in turn mostly with a star cast. So he got actors like Otto Schenk, Wolfgang Böck, Karl Merkatz and Fritz Karl, musical stars like Uwe Kröger and Rafi Weinstock, opera stars like Albert Dohmen, Danilo Rigosa, Maria Candidda and Sebastian Holecek and conductors like Alex Joel, brother of the famous musician Billy Joel, Michael Güttler and Guido Mancusi at his house. He also did not save on the appointment of the directors and so regularly names such as Martin Kušej, Leonard Prinsloo, Wolfgang Böck and Michael Sturminger in the program booklets could be found.
Pflegerl also managed to win over the well-known Carinthian author Peter Turrini several times for theatrical commissioned works, which were premiered in Klagenfurt. Also, the Stadttheater Klagenfurt was under Pflegerls leadership repeatedly a springboard for young talents. For example, the career of the world-famous bass baritone Albert Dohmen began in Klagenfurt. Dohmen now sings parts such as the Flying Dutchman at the Vienna State Opera, the Met and the Scala. The Kärntner Symphonie-Orchester, KSO for short, also increased considerably in the Pflegerl era under its chief conductor Guido Mancusi (2001-2007). Under Pflegerl's directorship the theater usually was working 90% to capacity, a value that even surpassed that of the Vienna State Opera again and again.
Pflegerl was followed by Josef Ernst Köpplinger in 2007, and since 2012 Florian Scholz has been artistic director.
Nestroy Theater Prize
The Stadttheater Klagenfurt won 2003, 2006 and 2011 Nestroy Theater prizes in different categories.
Among others, the following Nestroy winners have worked for the Stadttheater: Martin Kušej, Martin Zehetgruber, Michael Maertens, Michael Schottenberg, Bernd Liepold-Mosser.
Jubiläums-Stadttheater
Objekt ID: 62048, Theaterplatz 4
Katastralgemeinde: Klagenfurt. Das pavillonartige Jugendstilgebäude mit figuralem Skulpturenschmuck und repräsentativ ausgestattetem Inneren wurde 1908–1910 erbaut und 1996 durch Günther Domenig um einen Anbau erweitert.
Das Stadttheater Klagenfurt ist ein städtisches Theater der Stadt Klagenfurt in Österreich.
Geschichte
Der Zubau von Günther Domenig
Das erste Theater wurde zwischen 1605 und 1620 als Ballhaus für die Aristokratie errichtet und diente deren gesellschaftlichen Vergnügungen. Mit der Zeit traten verstärkt italienische Gastspiele auf, welche auf der Reise von Venedig nach Wien gerne in Klagenfurt halt machten. Das Ballhaus integrierte sich somit immer mehr in die österreichische Theaterszene des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts und wurde schrittweise in ein Theaterhaus umgebaut. Die eigentliche Eröffnung als Theater fand im Jahr 1737 statt. Das Theater unterstand den Landständen von Kärnten. Gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde das Theater auch schrittweise Intellektuellen, Militärs und Beamten geöffnet. 1811 wurde der anfangs hölzerne Theaterbau komplett neu aus Stein errichtet, dieses wird als „Altes Theater“ bezeichnet.
1908 erfolgte der Spatenstich für das „Neue Theater“, da sich das alte in einem baufälligen Zustand befand. Am 22. September 1910 konnte das neue Theater, das anlässlich des 60. Regierungsjubiläums von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. „Kaiser Franz Joseph I. Jubiläumstheater“ getauft wurde, eröffnet werden. Erbaut wurde es durch das Wiener Architektenbüro Büro Fellner & Helmer als fast baugleiche Kopie der Stadttheater in Gießen und Gablonz, welche zuvor schon in den Jahren 1906 und 1907 errichtet wurden.
In den 1960er-Jahren wurden weitere Ausbauten getätigt, u. a. wurde die Anzahl der Stehplätze reduziert und ein Zubau für das Bühnenhaus entstand. Intendant war von 1968 bis 1992 Herbert Wochinz. 1996 bis 1998 wurde das Stadttheater nach Plänen von Günther Domenig um- und ausgebaut.
Die Ära Pflegerl
Intendant war von 1992 bis 2007 der Nestroy-Preisträger Dietmar Pflegerl. Dietmar Pflegerls Intendanz, welche von 1992 bis zu seinem Tode 2007 dauerte, kann als die bedeutendste Zeit für das Klagenfurter Stadttheater betrachtet werden. Pflegerl ließ nicht nur durch den neuen Stil des Drei-Sparten-Theaters aufhorchen, sondern auch durch gesellschaftskritische Stücke und Inszenierungen, welche er auf die Bühne brachte und dies wiederum meist mit Starbesetzung. So holte er Schauspieler wie Otto Schenk, Wolfgang Böck, Karl Merkatz und Fritz Karl, Musicalstars wie Uwe Kröger und Rafi Weinstock, Opernstars wie Albert Dohmen, Danilo Rigosa, Maria Candidda und Sebastian Holecek und Dirigenten wie Alex Joel, Bruder des bekannten Musikers Billy Joel, Michael Güttler und Guido Mancusi an sein Haus. Auch sparte er nicht an der Bestellung der Regisseure und so fanden sich regelmäßig Namen wie Martin Kušej, Leonard Prinsloo, Wolfgang Böck und Michael Sturminger in den Programmheften wieder.
Auch gelang es Pflegerl, unter anderem den bekannten Kärntner Autor Peter Turrini mehrfach für schauspielerische Auftragswerke zu gewinnen, welche in Klagenfurt zur Uraufführung gelangten. Auch wurde das Stadttheater Klagenfurt unter Pflegerls Führung immer wieder zum Sprungbrett für Nachwuchstalente. So begann beispielsweise die Karriere des weltweit gefragten Bassbaritons Albert Dohmen in Klagenfurt. Dohmen singt mittlerweile Partien wie den Fliegenden Holländer an der Wiener Staatsoper, der Met und der Scala. Auch das Kärntner Symphonie-Orchester, kurz KSO, steigerte sich in der Ära Pflegerl unter dem Chefdirigenten Guido Mancusi (2001 bis 2007) beträchtlich. Unter Pflegerls Intendanz war das Theater meist mit über 90 % ausgelastet, ein Wert, der sogar den der Wiener Staatsoper immer wieder übertraf.
Auf Pflegerl folgte 2007 Josef Ernst Köpplinger, seit 2012 ist Florian Scholz Intendant.
Nestroy-Theaterpreis
Das Stadttheater Klagenfurt konnte 2003, 2006 und 2011 jeweils Nestroy-Theaterpreise in verschiedenen Kategorien gewinnen.
Für das Stadttheater wirkten unter anderen folgende Nestroy-Preisträger: Martin Kušej, Martin Zehetgruber, Michael Maertens, Michael Schottenberg, Bernd Liepold-Mosser.

Action from the Brighton Speed Trials on Madeira Drive - Arguable the World's Oldest Motor race, which began in 1905.
The site includes the remains of two churches built in the 14th century or later and an earlier round tower, but it is most famous for its high crosses.
The round tower is about 28 metres tall, and is in very good condition. It was likely built shortly after 968 and damaged in a fire in 1098.[3]
The three high crosses date from the 10th century and form part of the scriptural group (showing biblical scenes).[3]
The 5.5-metre Muiredach's High Cross is regarded as the finest high cross in the whole of Ireland. It is named after an abbot, Muiredach mac Domhnaill, who died in 923 and features biblical carvings of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The North and West crosses are also notable examples of this kind of structure, but these have suffered much more from the effects of the weather. A copy of the main cross is held in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Action from today's Point to Point races at Parham. Challenging conditions - extremely windy, with occasional squally showers.
It was an open day at the High Salvington Windmill, with a gathering of classic cars. The ground flour used to come down these chutes in to sacks placed below.

Eastern pygmy marmosets (Callithrix pygmaea nivieventris) are the smallest primate in the world, and weigh about 6 oz. They are found in Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. Their habitat includes floodplain forest, which is close to rivers, the edges of agricultural fields, secondary growth forest, and also areas of bamboo.
A family group of pygmy marmosets is made up of an adult male and female, the main breeding pair, and offspring of varying ages. The group size can be as many as 15. The adult male and previous offspring carry the newborns, while the female does none of the parental care—she only has to feed them.
A group of pygmy marmosets have a territory which they patrol daily, and will defend it from other pygmy groups that happen to cross into it. They will do this with the whole group working together.
The wild diet of pygmy marmosets is mostly tree gum, and makes up about 60-70 percent of their diet. The bottom jaw of the pygmy marmoset is V-shaped to allow it to make holes in the tree bark. These holes let the tree’s gum flow out, and then the pygmies lick it up. A pygmy group will visit these trees throughout the day to eat the gum.
Other parts of the pygmy marmoset’s diet include fruit, insects, lizards, and spiders. During the dry season, when there are fewer insects and fruits around, nectar is very important to the pygmies.
Pygmy marmosets forage for insects in small and medium-sized trees and in vine tangles. They rarely go down to the ground, but will do so to catch grasshoppers. Larger insects are a favourite food, as they have more protein in them and are worth the extra effort in catching. Pygmies jump on the insects to catch them. They can eat larger insects than would be expected for their small size!
The eastern pygmy marmosets display a threat by turning around and lifting their tail to show their genitalia, and sometimes also urinate while doing this.
Pygmy marmosets often share the same area as spix black-mantled tamarins (S. Nigricollis). These tamarins can benefit from living with pygmy marmosets by visiting the trees that the marmosets have gouged the gum from. Tamarins are unable to gouge the tree bark to get tree gum, because their teeth are U-shaped.

Bruneau River
BLM Wilderness Areas in southwestern Idaho include Big Jacks Creek, Bruneau-Jarbidge Rivers, Little Jacks Creek, Owyhee River, North Fork Owyhee and Pole Creek.
The Wilderness and Wild and Scenic River designations are the result of a grassroots effort called the Owyhee Initiative. Local ranchers, county representatives, environmental and conservation groups, outfitters, the Shoshone-Paiute Tribe, and others worked collaboratively for several years to develop an agreement addressing longstanding public lands issues in southwestern Idaho. This agreement served as the impetus for Congressional designation of the six wilderness areas and 16 WSR segments.
Owyhee Canyonlands Wilderness and Wild & Scenic River Management Plan addresses six wilderness areas and 16 wild and scenic river (WSR) segments located in Owyhee County, Idaho. Designated by the Omnibus Public Land Management Act (OPLMA) of 2009, the wilderness areas comprise approximately 518,000 acres and the WSR segments approximately 325 miles.
Due to their proximity, comparable natural and cultural resources, and similar management issues, the BLM completed one plan to address all six wilderness areas, as well as the 16 WSR segments that are located almost entirely within those wilderness areas. The OWMP is designed to guide the management of the wilderness areas and WSR segments for at least the next 10 years.

The first Bombing Decoy Airfields were known as ''K'' Sites, these were for day use and were set out on large fields, heath or warrens, sometimes on disused WWI Airfields. Props would include Dummy Aircraft, in this case Blenheim Aircraft were used at Fulmodeston to represent the ones used at RAF West Raynham, it would depend on which station was being protected. There would be mock Bomb Dumps and Fuel Stores, the surface would be levelled to look like a landing ground. Impressed civilian aircraft, such as de Havilland DH Moths, were employed on some Sites to resemble de Havilland Tiger Moth Military Training Aircraft. Large sheets of canvas were painted and laid on the ground to represent Hangars and in some cases, old and disused vehicles were set around the Site along with Gun Pits and Camouflage Nets. These 'Dummy Airfields' looked very realistic from the air. The crews had their own buildings and trucks. Most ''K'' Sites were closed down between 1942 to 1943 although a few were still in use in 1944.
Even at ground level they could deceive. 'A young lad, out for a walk with family and friends in the Summer of 1940, he spotted some Wellington Bombers dispersed on an Airfield near Thetford. For three hours they waited for one to start up and take-off. A few days later, his father came home laughing his head off and said “ We might well have waited for those planes to take off last Sunday, they were dummies !”
''Q'' Sites, which were sometimes on the same site as a ''K'' Site, but were for night use, from the air they would have looked like a Runway Flarepath and, for authenticity, had light patterns that included obstruction lights, these were red and placed on Hangars and other tall buildings to stop our aircraft landing on them by mistake. Later a bar of red lights was placed across the Flarepath and could be seen when on approach. This was added after a number of our own aircraft had attempted to land, sometimes with fatal consequences, some of the early Dummy Flarepaths were created using Gooseneck Flares.
The ''Q'' Site crew had a powerful Chance Light (similar to a small searchlight) on top of their Control Bunker, codenamed ''Scarecrow'', and this could be used to simulate aircraft taking off, landing and taxiing. Power was provided by generators within the Control Bunker, built to a similar design to a small Nissen Hut, but each one appeared to differ. Some Sites had a Control Bunker above ground whereas on others it was below ground, and some Sites had both types. One end was covered by tin sheeting, which was the Operations Room with the Runway Light Controls and a Telephone connected to the Headquarters Station, there were some basic comforts such as a Tortoiseshell stove and table, etc. The other room housed the Generator and was covered with steel sheeting or arched pre-formed concrete, feed pipes ran to the Generator from the fuel tank outside. Normally there were two 15in Ducts for air intake and one for the exhaust. Between the rooms there was a passageway that led outside, protected by a Blast Wall. There was another exit, sometimes vertical from the Operations Room. ''Q'' Sites were still being built for the RAF and USAAF in 1943 to 1944, with the last ones closing down at the end of the war.
In order to draw the enemy bombers from our towns and cities, Dummy Towns known as ''Starfish'' Sites were set up on open land between one and eight miles from the intended target. In daylight the equipment resembled chicken sheds, etc, but when ignited at night the boilers and fire baskets looked just like bombs exploding, incendiaries burning and buildings on fire, these effects could be made to last a number of hours. ''QL'' Lights were added to Starfish Sites but on their own sites, were designed so that at night they could look like factories, marshalling yards, shipyards, steelworks, etc. ''QL'' Lights ingeniously included welding flashes, railway signals (red and green) red railway crossing gate lights, tram car electrical flashes, standard lamps, and they could also be made to look like open skylights, doors and windows where someone carelessly had not complied with the Blackout regulations.

I just received recently an AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm lens to complete a small kit around my Nikon F4 year 1989 (see below for details). The kit is now includes 3 very classical AF-Nikkor lenses of the same period of the Nikon F4 camera body, including the standard 1.4/50mm, the 1.8/85mm and now the 2/35mm. The choice of fixed-focal lenses instead of zooms was already in 1989 a bit old-fashioned. However many photographers preferred still the homogenous rendering of a photo series done with a single focal lens. Generally speaking, a 35mm focal is a charming moderate wide-angle, very easy to use and particularly adapted for architectural and street-photography.
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm is not a rare lens. However, when looking on eBay there was not tens of them available. I bought a good one form a Belgian seller at a normal price (180€). The lens is in very good mechanical and optical condition and came with the rear and front caps. I sourced the dedicated Nikon HN-3 shade hood separately for 10€ but here I preferred (only for the look!) to use a rectangular Minolta D54KC designed for the MC-Rokkor 1:2.8 f=35mm.
For testing the lens, I loaded my Nikon F4 with a Rollei RPX 400 which is the former formula of the Agfa APX 400. The film cartridge is DX-coded and I did not modify the nominal DX-coded 400 ISO sensitivity.
The AF Nikkor lens 1:2 f=35mm was equipped for the whole session with a generic 52mm screw-on yellow filter. The light metering was done through tteh lens (TTL) either in the matrix or the spot metering of the Nikon F4 used in the "A" aperture-priority auto mode or the manual mode. The weather was very clear and a bit cold (-1°C outside).

I did not use my Nikon SB-26 flashlight for any views in this session. After completion the film was rewound and processed using 350 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 12min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta Auto Bellows with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.

What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
The camera was exported abroad thereafter attested by the presence of the golden oval little sticker("Passed" on the DP-20 viewfinder. In order to certify the quality production, two Japanese organizations, the Japan Camera Industry Institute (JCII) and the Japan Machinery Design Center (JMDC), joined forces to verify and mark the conformity of products for the foreign market. This is how, between the 1950s and 1980s, this famous little gold sticker was affixed, with the legendary "Passed", meaning that the device had been checked. Finally, when we say that the device had been checked, the production line had been checked because each device could not be checked individually.

About the flash :
I received from a German seller for 50€ this Nikon Speedlight electronic flash SB-26 that was, at the time of Nikon F4, the most powerful dedicated Nikon flash (Guide Number 36 at full power and 100 ISO).
The SB-26 communicates with the Nikon F4 body (and many other Nikon camera's) and can be operated in many different modes including TTL real-time metering with automatic equilibration of the ambient light using the 5-zone matrix metering done by the DP-20 photometric viewer as well in the center-weighted mode. Other possibilities include the normal TTL mode, an Auto mode using the own sensor of the flash and a manual mode with 7 power levels.
The flash head can cover the optical field from super-wide angle lenses 18-20mm, wide-angle lenses 28mm and 35mm, normal lenses 50mm, and long-focal lenses at 70mm and 85mm. The head can be rotated according two axis for indirect lightening. In addition, the SB-26 has a special focusing aid for the Nikon F4 autofocus system, projecting in the the darkness a red focusing image. SB-23 flash can be also used as master or slave flash in a coordinated flash system.
The flash requires 4 AA alkaline cells for approximately 100 lights at full power and much more with energy recycling at lower power levels.
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler, III recently visited the Camp Zama installation on a tour of Japan and Korea. Chandler met with Camp Zama’s senior leaders to include Gen. James C. Boozer and Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie, the commander and command sergeant major of U.S. Army Japan and I Corps (Forward) respectively. Chandler spent time talking with Soldiers, USARJ and Japan Ground Self Defense Force senior leaders and touring the Edo Museum in Tokyo. Before departing Camp Zama, Chandler conducted a roundtable discussion with enlisted senior leaders to address the importance of leadership in the U.S. Army. (U.S. Army photos by Yuichi Imada)

This is a photograph from the Forest Marathon festival 2013 which was held in the beautiful Coillte forest of Portumna in Co. Galway, Ireland on Saturday 15th June 2013. The event includes a 10k, a full marathon, a half marathon and two ultra-running events - a 50k and 100k race. The races started at 08:00 with the 100KM, the 50KM at 10:00, and subsequent races at two hour intervals onwards. All events started and finished within the forest with the exception of the half marathon and marathon which started outside of the forest. All events see participants complete 5KM loops of the forest which start and end at the car-park/amenity end of the forest. There is an official Refreshment/Handling Zones at this point on the loop.
The event was organised by international coach Sebastien Locteau from SportsIreland.ie and his fantastic team of volunteers from Galway and beyond. Congratulations to Seb on organising a very professionally run event and an event which is growing bigger and more prestigious with each passing year. There was an incredible atmosphere amongst the runners, the spectators, and the organisers. Hats off to everyone involved.
The marathon, 50KM, and 100KM events are sanctioned by Athletics Ireland and AIMS (the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races). The event has also achieved IAU (International Association of Ultrarunners) Bronze Label status for 2013.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
