Bare Foot. This is how you will usually find me. Whether at home or on a job. I love to feel connected and grounded to the earth beneath me. This picture reminds me a lot of my grandmother who I lived with as a teenager. I would always get in trouble of her for not wearing shoes up the street. She would say "a lady always wears shoes"

An urban road ahead spells the end of the blues....
With the introduction of the new First ‘Urban’ livery to all of First’s Scottish fleets, it means the end of buses in the rather pleasant two tone blue livery introduced by both First Scotland East in West Lothian and Midland Bluebird. This now disappearing livery is demonstrated here by 69257 (SK57ADO) which was new to the company in 2007. For a while, this bus carried an all over pink livery for the Falkirk Loop service but it was then repainted into the two-tone blue. Note the pink slash towards the rear, advertising that the buses accept Contactless payments.
In case you’re curious as to what this previous pink scheme was, it can be seen here:- flic.kr/p/MATL2L

Now was founded in 1998 with the aim to bring together adventurous multi-instrumentalists who are as much in love with analogue synthesizers and electronics as they are with guitars, percussion and traditional instruments to play experimental pop.
NOW could be described as catchy, contemporary, exotic, messy, harmonious and disharmonious 21st century pop. Now have released several albums and this is collection is a perfect introduction to their music.
‘Pursuing their offbeat, off-kilter and occasionally off-the-wall mashup of lo-fidelity experimental pop music and uptempo kosmik grooves at the fringes of undergound and overground success, NOW continue to demonstrate the tireless heart of their being is something close to an unsung Uk national treasure.’

Depuis 1998, le trio NOW invente une avant-pop aventureuse, artisanale et singulière, influencée autant par la musique globale (exotica, afrobeat, groove) que l'indie pop, les pionniers des synthés analogiques et le Kraut psyché rock allemand (Damo Suzuki en invité sur le dernier titre de l'album).
Les chansons nerveuses et dansantes de Now sont indéniablement bipolaires, oscillant entre dissonances proches de la musique atonale et fulgurances mélodiques.
Cette compilation (remasterisée par Gilles Martin, aux manettes des disques du Crépuscule, Crammed Disc, etc) est une excellente introduction à l'art de ce trio de doux-dingues.
Now : un trésor national anglais méconnu de tous ?

Every year in 50 countries across the world, more than 5 million mothers and children die from preventable conditions and their economies lose billions of dollars to poor health and nutrition. This is in large part due to a significant financing gap for health and nutrition.The Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF) is a multi-stakeholder partnership that is helping governments in low-income countries transform how they prioritize and finance the health and nutrition of their people. The GFF supports governments to bring partners together around a country-led plan, prioritizing high-impact but underinvested areas of health, such as primary health care, nutrition, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. The GFF partnership supports countries by:
1. Developing an investment case and implementation plan for prioritizing reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition and a strong primary health care system;
2. Strengthening a country-led platform that aligns all key stakeholders around this investment case and plan; and
3. Mobilizing and coordinating the financial resources needed to accelerate progress for the most vulnerable populations, often in the hardest-to-reach regions.
The GFF Trust Fund acts as a catalyst for financing, with countries using modest GFF Trust Fund grants to significantly increase their domestic resources alongside World Bank financing, aligned external financing, and private sector resources.The work of the GFF partnership touches the lives of women and girls in some of the worldʼs poorest countries and regions.

Picture: An old British Railways Postcard.
From their introduction to British Railways in 1958, the Metropolitan-Vickers Co-Bo, 1,200hp Type-B locomotives, proved to be problematic from the outset, with the first example of the 20 strong class, D5700 breaking down several times on it's first test run.
In March 1959, the Co-Bo's were allocated to the overnight London to Glasgow 'Condor' Express Freight service, but their continued unreliability eventually lead to a marked down turn in demand for the service; so much so, that on 4th January 1960, 17 out of the 20 were stopped for repairs at Cricklewood Depot. Their duties being replaced by Stanier Class 5 steam engines! Confidence eventually returned to the Condor Express Freight service and by 1962, it was again carrying full loads, but by hauled by much more reliable class-4 diesels, the Co-Bo's having been returned to Metropolitan Vickers for overhaul and modification. On their return to traffic, they were allocated to Barrow, ending their days on local passenger and freight duties. The Co-Bo's were finally withdrawn from service in 1968, after just ten years in traffic, and ironically on the same year that steam traction ended on British Railways (not as Yorkshire Television’s TV drama 'Heartbeat' would have us believe that steam was still alive and well in 1969!)
Of the twenty members of the class (D5700-5719), only one, D5701 was outshopped into BR blue. After withdrawal, sister locomotive D5705 was retained by the Railway Technical Centre (RTC) at Derby, and was subsequently saved for preservation.
Phew, all I can say after that, is thank goodness for Google! ;-)
Introduction to the Franciscan Order in Provence around 1500
The Franciscan Order (Ordo Fratrum Minorum, OFM), also known as the Greyfriars, was one of the most influential mendicant orders in medieval Europe. Founded in 1209 by Saint Francis of Assisi, the Franciscans emerged as a response to the Church's wealth and focus on material goods. They sought to live in simplicity, following Christ's teachings on poverty and humility.
Lifestyle and Practices: The Franciscans were renowned for their itinerant preaching. Unlike most monastic orders that resided in fixed monasteries, Franciscans often lived as wandering monks without permanent homes. They relied on alms and preached the Word of God to the people, both in cities and rural areas. Known for their kindness and openness, they often cared for the sick and the poor.
Presence in Provence: In Provence, Franciscans were present in various towns and villages. They interacted closely with the local population, often serving as spiritual guides and counsellors. The Franciscans' popularity among the people stemmed from their simple and humble lifestyle, as well as their willingness to assist everyone, regardless of social status.
The Monk's Role in the Village: In your series, the monk embodies this tradition of charity and openness. As a Franciscan hermit, he could be part of a small friary or perhaps reside in a modest hermitage near the village. His kindness and storytelling would attract the children, while his wisdom and prayers would be appreciated by the adults.
Poem for a Storytelling Session
"The Light Within"
In the stillness of the night, a whispering breeze,
Speaks of love and hope, carried through the trees.
In every heart, a candle softly glows,
A beacon in the dark, where grace bestows.
Children gather 'round, eyes wide with wonder,
To hear the tales of heaven's mighty thunder.
In each soul, a seed of light does lie,
Waiting to bloom beneath the endless sky.
Haikus
Silent paths we walk,
In shadows, the light appears—
Peace in every step.
Autumn leaves whisper,
Tales of old and new rebirth—
Life's eternal dance.

Some comments:
The whole photoshoot takes place in Kyoto, we have been using some restaurant for the indoor shots, and the area around Kamogawa for the shots outside! I am using Shoot-through umbrella as main light for the indoor shots!
Strobist info:
I will insert later the individual lighting information of each shot later, can't upload it as a batch! Also later this month after my new Wordpress based homepage is completed I will have an article about the photos there!

I don't remember if I've wrote an introduction so I'm going to introduce myself here!
My name is Mia and I'm currently a sophomore in high school. I'm half Mexican and Taiwanese but I've never been to Taiwan! I'm an AP student and I run for the cross country team. I'm not very good at running though... haha. I also like to play tennis. And of course, take pictures as a hobby. I'm also part of a few clubs at my school: Academic Decathlon, Rotary Interact, and National Honor Society. I think you can tell i'm very dedicated towards school! Anything to prepare me for college. ♥ I like to paint my nails because it calms me and I also like to visit the elderly. I'm usually very optimistic but at the same time i'm a realist. People usually say I look like a very happy person! And I guess I am but i'm very lonely due to my hectic school schedule and being raised as an only child. Hmm. I guess that is all for now. :)
But before I go, I'd like to thank a everyone for talking to me and leaving me comments. If I have tagged you in this picture, I'd especially like to thank you for commenting on my pictures and making me feel welcome to Flickr. It really means a lot to log onto Flickr and see something nice. ♥
