This pictures is maybe the most taken picture of Rotterdam and I just wanted to do the same. It shows the building 'De Rotterdam' and the Erasmus Bridge.
Five deposits of volcanic ash have been located and sampled in Pratt County. The thickest of these (pictured) has 14 feet of volcanic ash is exposed in a pit.
--
Have you ever rolled around in the dirt just because it’s there? Ever wonder where that dirt came from? Me too!
Greetings. I’m Russ Dale, a transplant to the Gateway to the High Plains from Denver, Colorado. I’m the new guy at the Pratt Tribune. I’m also new to Pratt, but “from” Pratt in a cosmic sense, as my great-great grandfather Whitney Bailey arrived in the county in 1887 at the age of 15. He was a wheat farmer in McPherson and Saratoga Townships.
I enjoy learning about the past, especially about where I live. I am a history buff who is heavily interested in genealogy and geology. And I roll around in dirt.
I was at the Pratt County Historical Museum one day pouring over historic maps of the county. Wallowing in a pile of old maps is how I roll. Pratt County landmarks like Skunk Johnson’s Cave, Pilot Knob and Arrowhead Hill made my imagination whirl. Fascinating.
Then something called “Volcanic Ash Pit” caught my curiosity. The tiny drawing on this aged 100-year-old map was akin to a modern orbital satellite photo of the fictional Sarlacc pit, the Great Pit of Carkoon, in “Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi!” A nerdy rock hound from Colorado, a geologic paradise in its own right, I am in love with rocks and the stories they tell. And, being a dirt flounderer, I immediately knew I needed to find out more about this pit. Who doesn’t like to visit pits? Pits are exciting. Pits are amazing. If I had a nickel for ever pit I’ve visited I would have a gaggle of nickels.
I scoured over satellite imagery of Pratt County in search of the pit. I searched the internets. I spoke with local old-timers. I became obsessed with this mysterious oddity.
A friend of a cousin’s cousin made me privy to an enigmatic area called the “silica pit,” a place in the county where generations of children played in the dirt. Corroborating this first-hand knowledge with information gleaned from a 1973 Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin #205 and a thesis about the “chemical fingerprinting” of volcanic tephra found in Kansas by Brian T. David of Kansas State University, I was pointed to what I believed was the “Volcanic Ash Pit.”
I went there. All of my pit dreams came true.
My eyes did behold the majesty of the “Volcanic Ash Pit!” It was an old pit with layers of volcanic ash 14 feet thick along the walls! The ash, essentially fine shards of white to grey glass spewed from a volcano, was once excavated from the site and used in concrete for roads. Others uses for “silica” included soaking up blood at meat packing plants and in bathroom cleansers. Long abandoned, this pit was now just a hole in the ground inhabited by animals and plants.
Where did this “dirt” come from? The ash, from an erupting volcano, was carried by winds over Kansas many years ago and settled to the ground. Streams washed the ash into shallow depressions.
Could this Pearlette ash bed be Lava Creek B Tuff of the Yellowstone Caldera, the last major eruption from the Yellowstone volcanic center 640,000 years ago? Was it derived from the explosion of Valle Grande Caldera supervolcano in north-central New Mexico roughly 1.2 million years ago? That was a time when humans were an endangered species! I am filled with questions.
The debate is still out on the origin of the ash and where it fits on the geologic time scale. Regardless of its origin, it is a superb geologic site. Especially for Kansas. It is doubly superb it exists in Pratt County Kansas.
My mission complete and personal dirt quota satisfied, I prepared for another learning adventure into the surrounding area in which my ancestors, and myself, call home.

At Barton on Sea there is a cliff top walk which sadly, is fast disappearing by coastal erosion. This cliff top walk is getting very dangerous now due to the erosion all along the cliffs from Barton on Sea to Milford on Sea. I did this walk in August 2012 and it was ok then. However I again walked all along the cliff tops from Barton on Sea car park at Marine Drive East to Milford on Sea ( not the start or finish of the walk I might add ). In 2017 April I again did this long walk which had become very dangerous in parts. The local council had erected signs warning people of the dangers and actually closing the cliff top walk. In parts the original path has disappeared and in others it had become so narrow, it was very near the cliff tops. So beware and take advice from people who know this walk before attempting it. It is no longer 100% safe.
The coast at Barton on Sea is particularly well known for its geological content, being home to many fossils in the Barton geological beds. A cliff - top path runs between Barton and the village of Milford on Sea. From there, the Solent Way stretches all the way to Emsworth, on the West Sussex border. It is also well known for the fact that it was the first place in England to try rock groynes.People have lived in the area of Barton since prehistoric times. Several bronze age funerary urns were uncovered in Barton during the early 20th century, although most of them have been lost or destroyed. While Barton is a common English place-name, the etymology of Barton-on-Sea is unique. It means Beorma’s Farm, and appears twice in the Domesday Book, as Bermintune and as Burmintune. Roger de Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, and friend of William the Conqueror, held both Barton manors in 1086.
The village is separated from the beach by a 35 - metre high cliff although there are connecting paths. The cliffs are frequently used for paragliding. At the eastern end of the village is the Barton-On-Sea Golf Club, which is notable for comprising three loops of nine holes.
Barton on Sea has had for many years a problem with coastal erosion. In the past, the cliffs have eroded away at a rate of up to one metre a year, and several buildings have been lost. In the early 1900's the grassy promenade at the top of the cliffs was 100 metres wide, today it is around 20 metres at its furthest points. The erosion was not helped by sea-defences farther west at Bournemouth starving Barton of sediment needed in its beaches to protect its cliffs. Some coastal protection measures at Barton were installed in the late 1930's but fell into disrepair during World War II. In 1964 a series of timber groynes and a cliff drainage system was installed along 300 m of the sea-front. This was followed in 1965-8 by a timber revetment backed by large rocks; an extension to the drainage system; and some rock groynes. Later improvements have consisted of replacing the timber groynes with rock groynes; and replacing the timber revetment with a rock structure of dark grey limestone boulders to protect the toe of the cliff. Today’s cliff slip problems are largely due to inland water seepage. There have been recent experiments with vegetation defences ( planting shrubs, plants and trees on the cliff face ) to prevent rotational cliff slump, and therefore slowing the retreat of the cliff towards land which is in use.
To the west of Barton is Naish, now a holiday park, but which was once a farm estate with a history dating back to the 14th century. To the west of that is Chewton, notable for the chine called Chewton Bunny running down to the sea. To the east of Barton is Becton, now the golf course, but which was once a farm with a history dating back to the Domesday book ( the Saxon name means Becca's farm ). Another chine called Becton Bunny can be found here, but it has become much reduced by coastal erosion.
I absolutely love shooting with Vanessa. She is the type of person you want to clone as soon as you meet her. Pure sweetness. Our photography history is pretty cool - I first shot her when she was very pregnant, shortly after she had her baby girl, on the day of her Dad's memorial service and she needed photo therapy, and now that she is getting back in shape.
Vanessa joined us for a small group shoot at a friend's house. We had three shooters and three models and it was cramped quarters. There was also issues with the lighting so I ended up using on camera flash (not my favorite). Grrrr. Vanessa looked stunning and I was glad I had another chance to shoot with her - and we have another shoot in the works!
Olivia is my 11 month old grandaughter. She's very mobile, crawling everywhere, and is quite curious. She has such a sweet disposition and knows she can make you smile. It's true what they say about grandchildren... you love them even more!
PS... you'll notice that Olivia has the strap of my Canon in her hands. That's why she was so close to me... she was swinging it back and forth. Oh the simple joy!
OM PARVAT
Om Parvat (also Adi Kailash, Little Kailash, Jonglingkong Peak,Baba Kailash, chhota Kailash)[3] is a mountain in the Himalayanmountain range, lying in the Darchula district of western Nepal and inPithoragarh District, Uttarakhand, India. It is considered sacred by Hindusand its snow deposition pattern resembles the sacred 'OM' (ॐ). Its appearance is distinctly similar to Mount Kailash in Tibet.[4] Near Om Parvat lie Parvati Lake and Jonglingkong Lake. Jonglingkong Lake is sacred, as Mansarovar, to the Hindus. Opposite to this peak is a mountain called Parwati Muhar. The Om Parvat is the fruit of discord between India and Nepal who do not reach agreement about the border line between the two countries. The Om Parvat is currently on the Indo-Nepalese border face "Om/ॐ" in India and the back of the mountain inNepal.
This peak was attempted for the first time by an Indo-British team including Martin Moran, T. Rankin, M. Singh, S. Ward, A. Williams and R. Ausden. The climbers promised not to ascend the final 10 metres (30 ft) out of respect for the peak's holy status. However, they were stopped around 200 m (660 ft) short of the summit by very loose snow and rock conditions.[4]
The first ascent of Adi Kailash came on October 8, 2004. The team comprised Tim Woodward, Jack Pearse, Andy Perkins (UK); Jason Hubert, Martin Welch, Diarmid Hearns, Amanda George (Scotland); and Paul Zuchowski (USA). They did not ascend the final few metres, again out of respect for the sacred nature of the summit.
Om Parvat can be viewed en route to the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra from the last camp below Lipu Lekh pass at Nabhidhang. Many trekkers to Adi Kailash often make a diversion to view Om Parvat. Om Parvat and Adi Kailash or Baba Kailash are not one and the same. Om Parvat is located near Nabhi Dhang (Nepal),The Chhota Kailash is located near Sinla pass, Near Brahma Parvat.
The best view of Om Parvat which "Om" drawn by the snow is the view from the district of Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand, India), which faces the mountain and hence to the "Om". By Kailash Mansarovar Foundation Swami Bikash Giri www.sumeruparvat.com , www.naturalitem.com
OM
Auṃ or Oṃ, Sanskrit: ॐ) is a sacred sound and a spiritual icon in Indian religions. It is also a mantra in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism.
Om is part of the iconography found in ancient and medieval era manuscripts, temples, monasteries and spiritual retreats in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The symbol has a spiritual meaning in all Indian dharmas, but the meaning and connotations of Om vary between the diverse schools within and across the various traditions.
In Hinduism, Om is one of the most important spiritual symbols (pratima). It refers to Atman (soul, self within) andBrahman (ultimate reality, entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, knowledge). The syllable is often found at the beginning and the end of chapters in the Vedas, the Upanishads, and other Hindu texts. It is a sacred spiritual incantation made before and during the recitation of spiritual texts, during puja and private prayers, in ceremonies of rites of passages (sanskara) such as weddings, and sometimes during meditative and spiritual activities such as Yoga.
Vedic literature
The syllable "Om" is described with various meanings in the Vedas and different early Upanishads.[19] The meanings include "the sacred sound, the Yes!, the Vedas, the Udgitha (song of the universe), the infinite, the all encompassing, the whole world, the truth, the ultimate reality, the finest essence, the cause of the Universe, the essence of life, theBrahman, the Atman, the vehicle of deepest knowledge, and Self-knowledge".
Vedas
The chapters in Vedas, and numerous hymns, chants and benedictions therein use the syllable Om. The Gayatri mantra from the Rig Veda, for example, begins with Om. The mantra is extracted from the 10th verse of Hymn 62 in Book III of the Rig Veda.These recitations continue to be in use, and major incantations and ceremonial functions begin and end with Om.
ॐ भूर्भुवस्व: |
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यम् |
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि |
धियो यो न: प्रचोदयात् ||
Om. Earth, atmosphere, heaven.
Let us think on that desirable splendour
of Savitr, the Inspirer. May he stimulate
us to insightful thoughts.
Om is a common symbol found in the ancient texts of Hinduism, such as in the first line of Rig veda (top), as well as a icon in temples and spiritual retreats.
The Chandogya Upanishad is one of the oldest Upanishads of Hinduism. It opens with the recommendation that "let a man meditate on Om". It calls the syllable Om as udgitha (उद्गीथ, song, chant), and asserts that the significance of the syllable is thus: the essence of all beings is earth, the essence of earth is water, the essence of water are the plants, the essence of plants is man, the essence of man is speech, the essence of speech is the Rig Veda, the essence of the Rig Veda is the Sama Veda, and the essence of Sama Veda is the udgitha (song, Om).
Rik (ऋच्, Ṛc) is speech, states the text, and Sāman (सामन्) is breath; they are pairs, and because they have love and desire for each other, speech and breath find themselves together and mate to produce song. The highest song is Om, asserts section 1.1 of Chandogya Upanishad. It is the symbol of awe, of reverence, of threefold knowledge because Adhvaryu invokes it, the Hotr recites it, and Udgatr sings it.
The second volume of the first chapter continues its discussion of syllable Om, explaining its use as a struggle between Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons). Max Muller states that this struggle between gods and demons is considered allegorical by ancient Indian scholars, as good and evil inclinations within man, respectively. The legend in section 1.2 of Chandogya Upanishad states that gods took the Udgitha (song of Om) unto themselves, thinking, "with this [song] we shall overcome the demons". The syllable Om is thus implied as that which inspires the good inclinations within each person.
Chandogya Upanishad's exposition of syllable Om in its opening chapter combines etymological speculations, symbolism, metric structure and philosophical themes. In the second chapter of the Chandogya Upanishad, the meaning and significance of Om evolves into a philosophical discourse, such as in section 2.10 where Om is linked to the Highest Self, and section 2.23 where the text asserts Om is the essence of three forms of knowledge, Om is Brahman and "Om is all this [observed world]".
Katha Upanishad
The Katha Upanishad is the legendary story of a little boy, Nachiketa – the son of sage Vajasravasa, who meetsYama – the Indian deity of death. Their conversation evolves to a discussion of the nature of man, knowledge,Atman (Soul, Self) and moksha (liberation). In section 1.2, Katha Upanishad characterizes Knowledge/Wisdom as the pursuit of good, and Ignorance/Delusion as the pursuit of pleasant, that the essence of Veda is make man liberated and free, look past what has happened and what has not happened, free from the past and the future, beyond good and evil, and one word for this essence is the word Om.
The word which all the Vedas proclaim,
That which is expressed in every Tapas (penance, austerity, meditation),
That for which they live the life of a Brahmacharin,
Understand that word in its essence: Om! that is the word.
Yes, this syllable is Brahman,
This syllable is the highest.
He who knows that syllable,
Whatever he desires, is his.
— Katha Upanishad,
Maitri Upanishad
The Maitrayaniya Upanishad in sixth Prapathakas (lesson) discusses the meaning and significance of Om. The text asserts that Om represents Brahman-Atman. The three roots of the syllable, states the Maitri Upanishad, are A + U + M. The sound is the body of Soul, and it repeatedly manifests in three: as gender-endowed body - feminine, masculine, neuter; as light-endowed body - Agni, Vayu and Aditya; as deity-endowed body - Brahma, Rudra and Vishnu; as mouth-endowed body - Garhapatya, Dakshinagni and Ahavaniya; as knowledge-endowed body - Rig, Saman and Yajur; as world-endowed body - Bhūr, Bhuvaḥ and Svaḥ; as time-endowed body - Past, Present and Future; as heat-endowed body - Breath, Fire and Sun; as growth-endowed body - Food, Water and Moon; as thought-endowed body - intellect, mind and pysche. Brahman exists in two forms - the material form, and the immaterial formless. The material form is changing, unreal. The immaterial formless isn't changing, real. The immortal formless is truth, the truth is the Brahman, the Brahman is the light, the light is the Sun which is the syllable Om as the Self.
The world is Om, its light is Sun, and the Sun is also the light of the syllable Om, asserts the Upanishad. Meditating on Om, is acknowledging and meditating on the Brahman-Atman (Soul, Self).
Mundaka Upanishad
The Mundaka Upanishad in the second Mundakam (part), suggests the means to knowing the Self and the Brahman to be meditation, self-reflection and introspection, that can be aided by the symbol Om.
That which is flaming, which is subtler than the subtle,
on which the worlds are set, and their inhabitants –
That is the indestructible Brahman. It is life, it is speech, it is mind. That is the real. It is immortal.
It is a mark to be penetrated. Penetrate It, my friend.
Taking as a bow the great weapon of the Upanishad,
one should put upon it an arrow sharpened by meditation,
Stretching it with a thought directed to the essence of That,
Penetrate that Imperishable as the mark, my friend.
Om is the bow, the arrow is the Soul, Brahman the mark,
By the undistracted man is It to be penetrated,
One should come to be in It,
as the arrow becomes one with the mark.
— Mundaka Upanishad, 2.2.2 - 2.2.4
Adi Shankara, in his review of the Mundaka Upanishad, states Om as a symbolism for Atman (soul, self).
Mandukya Upanishad
The Mandukya Upanishad opens by declaring, "Om!, this syllable is this whole world". Thereafter it presents various explanations and theories on what it means and signifies. This discussion is built on a structure of "four fourths" or "fourfold", derived from A + U + M + "silence" (or without an element).
Aum as all states of time
In verse 1, the Upanishad states that time is threefold: the past, the present and the future, that these three are "Aum". The four fourth of time is that which transcends time, that too is "Aum" expressed.
Aum as all states of Atman
In verse 2, states the Upanishad, everything is Brahman, but Brahman is Atman (the Soul, Self), and that the Atman is fourfold. Johnston summarizes these four states of Self, respectively, as seeking the physical, seeking inner thought, seeking the causes and spiritual consciousness, and the fourth state is realizing oneness with the Self, the Eternal.
Aum as all states of consciousness
In verses 3 to 6, the Mandukya Upanishad enumerates four states of consciousness: wakeful, dream, deep sleep and the state of ekatma (being one with Self, the oneness of Self). These four are A + U + M + "without an element" respectively.
Aum as all of knowledge
In verses 9 to 12, the Mandukya Upanishad enumerates fourfold etymological roots of the syllable "Aum". It states that the first element of "Aum" is A, which is from Apti (obtaining, reaching) or from Adimatva (being first). The second element is U, which is from Utkarsa (exaltation) or from Ubhayatva(intermediateness). The third element is M, from Miti (erecting, constructing) or from Mi Minati, or apīti (annihilation). The fourth is without an element, without development, beyond the expanse of universe. In this way, states the Upanishad, the syllable Om is indeed the Atman (the self).
Shvetashvatara Upanishad
The Shvetashvatara Upanishad, in verses 1.14 to 1.16, suggests meditating with the help of syllable Om, where one's perishable body is like one fuel-stick and the syllable Om is the second fuel-stick, which with discipline and diligent rubbing of the sticks unleashes the concealed fire of thought and awareness within. Such knowledge, asserts the Upanishad, is the goal of Upanishads. The text asserts that Om is a tool of meditation empowering one to know the God within oneself, to realize one's Atman (Soul, Self).
Epics
The Bhagavad Gita, in the Epic Mahabharata, mentions the meaning and significance of Om in several verses. For example, Fowler notes that verse 9.17 of the Bhagavad Gita synthesizes the competing dualistic and monist streams of thought in Hinduism, by using "Om which is the symbol for the indescribable, impersonal Brahman".
I am the Father of this world, Mother, Ordainer, Grandfather, the Thing to be known, the Purifier, the syllable Om, Rik, Saman and also Yajus.
— Krishna to Arjuna, Bhagavad Gita 9.17,
The significance of the sacred syllable in the Hindu traditions, is similarly highlighted in various of its verses, such as verse 17.24 where the importance of Omduring prayers, charity and meditative practices is explained as follows,
Therefore, uttering Om, the acts of yajna (fire ritual), dāna (charity) and tapas (austerity) as enjoined in the scriptures, are always begun by those who study the Brahman.
— Bhagavad Gita
Yoga Sutra
The aphoristic verse 1.27 of Pantanjali's Yogasutra links Om to Yoga practice, as follows,
तस्य वाचकः प्रणवः ॥२७॥
His word is Om.
— Yogasutra 1.27,
Johnston states this verse highlights the importance of Om in the meditative practice of Yoga, where it symbolizes three worlds in the Soul; the three times – past, present and future eternity, the three divine powers – creation, preservation and transformation in one Being; and three essences in one Spirit – immortality, omniscience and joy. It is, asserts Johnston, a symbol for the perfected Spiritual Man (his emphasis). BY KAILASH MANSAROVAR FOUNDATION SWAMI BIKASH GIRI www.sumeruparvat.com , www.naturalitem.com

Another great year of racing and pageantry! The weather was perfect, reaching almost 50 degrees. I enjoyed walking the 10 miles to observe the craziness of the event. Here are a few pictures from the race. Pictures are posted here for the personal use of the contestants. Any commercial use is strictly forbidden without my prior consent. Enjoy!
this is the underpass that was just completed a year ago or so, it still doesn't reflect it on yahoo's satellite maps... it definitely eased traffic a little bit... there was always a train passing through when at the most inconvenient times so its nice to not have to worry about it... that is until you come across another train track maybe a quarter of a mile from here. the price of living near a city called "city of industry"...
also taken without my uv filter thingy... thanks darrell!
Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park, established in 1885 in the Rocky Mountains. The park, located 110–180 kilometers (68–112 miles) west of Calgary in western Alberta, encompasses 6,641 kilometers (2,564 square miles) of mountainous terrain. It is home to numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes. The Icefields Parkway extends from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west, while Kootenay National Park is located to the south and Kananaskis Country to the southeast. The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was instrumental in Banff's early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracting tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada responded by initiating a two-year study, which resulted in management recommendations, and new policies that aim to preserve ecological integrity.

This is a photograph from the Leinster Cross Country Championships which was held at Moyvalley Hotel and Golf Estate at Balyna Estate, Moyvalley, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 25th October 2015 begining at 11:00 until the final race at 14:20. The programme for today included Boys and Girls even ages, Junior male and female, Novice male and female and Masters male and female. The races were run on a superb course beside the Moyvalley hotel where the vast acres of prime farmland provided a large space to have a fair but challenging course on good firm ground.
The Leinster event was hosted by local club Na Fianna from Co. Meath. However the venue was actually just inside Co. Kildare in a part of the county where Meath and Kildare borders intersect several times along the route of the old N4/N6 road. The luxury Moyvalley Hotel & Golf resort is set amidst 550 acres of historic Kildare countryside and is easily accessed from the M6/M4 at Enfield or Kinnegad.
Results can be found at MyRunResults.com and their website www.myrunresults.com/results.html
Balyna Estate where the races were held can trace its history back to the 1500s. More recently the estate was owned by the Bewley Family of the Bewley Cafe fame. The hotel and resort were taken over by new management in 2014 who are implementing big plans to expand Moyvalley further.

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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Donaldsonville, Louisiana
Ascension Parish
Donaldsonville, Louisiana is the parish seat of Ascension Parish, located on the west bank of the Mississippi River which served as the capitol of Louisiana from 1829-1831. The city is situated between New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the southeast region of the state.
The Historic District is second in size and importance to just the French Quarter in New Orleans.
The city's history dates back to 1805 when Englishman William Donaldson purchased land near Bayou Lafourche from Acadian Marguerite Allain. By 1806, "Donaldson" was dedicated. The mostly French population called it "La Ville de Donaldson."
In 1823, with a growing English presence, it was reincorporated under its present name, Donaldsonville. From 1829-1831, Donaldsonville served as the capitol of Louisiana.
In 1903, a two-century-old debate ended with the damming of Bayou Lafourche in favor of locks to prevent seasonal flooding in the bayou’s lower reaches. Once the debate ended, so did the talk of locks and for two decades Donaldsonville declined. With the advent of the automobile, by 1930, this was reversed, and the town once again resumed it onward development.
Historically, Ascension Parish was always an agricultural economy. In the 1950’s and 60’s this changed with the addition of major industries, the Sunshine Bridge over the Mississippi, and the opening of Interstate 10.
Pierre Caliste Landry (April 19, 1841 – December 22, 1921) was an American slave who after the American Civil War became an attorney, Methodist Episcopal minister, and politician in Louisiana. He is best remembered for being elected in 1868 as mayor of Donaldsonville, making him the first African American to be elected mayor in the United States.

Singapore's remarkable space age 'Avatar like' Cloud Forest Dome at 58m is higher than the nearby Flower Dome (38m) but it is slightly smaller at 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres).
The Cloud Forest Dome is a cool moist plant conservatory that houses plants from tropical montane regions between 1,000 to 3,500 metres above sea level from South-East Asia, Central and South America.
Thousands of species of epiphytes in the form of orchids, ferns, mosses, bromeliads, anthuriums and many other plants are attached to the walls of the man made mountain and allow for close viewing as you journey throughout the 7 levels.
The centrepiece of the mountain is the 35-metre "Cloud Mountain" with 6 accessible levels, each based on a different theme.
Level 7 - Lost World
Level 6 - The Cavern
Level 5 - Waterfall View
Level 4 - Crystal Mountain
Level 3 - The Falls & Earth Check - Entrance Only
Level 1 - +5 Degrees & Secret Garden - Exit Only
The mountain is accessed by an elevator with visitors able to descend via the cloud and treetop walks on the external suspended boardwalks.
A highlight is the waterfall which which helps keep dome humidity levels high at between 80 and 90%.
The Dome has a capacity of 1200 people at any one time as compared to the 1400 for the flower dome.
Opens 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM daily

Meersburg (German: [ˈmeːɐ̯sˌbʊʁk] (About this soundlisten)) is a town in Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany. It is on Lake Constance. Vineyards, Meersburg, Lake Constance and Alps File:Meersburg2010Video.ogv Meersburg 2010
It is known for its medieval city. The lower town ("Unterstadt") and upper town ("Oberstadt") are reserved for pedestrians only, and connected by two stairways and a steep street ("Steigstrasse"). The name of the town means "Castle on the Sea", referring to a castle which, according to a tradition from 1548, was built here in 630 by the Merovingian king Dagobert I. The commune obtained the status of free city in 1299, though nominally still under the Bishop of Constance. In 1803 it was annexed to the Land of Baden.
After World War II, Meersburg was in the French military occupation area in Germany. The town is home to two castles, the Old Castle and the New Castle. The Old Castle, built by Merovingian King Dagobert I in the seventh century, is one of the oldest surviving castles in Germany. It is in private ownership. A self-guided tour is available. German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff lived there for eight years and purchased the Prince's House. The New Castle was built in the eighteenth century. Originally the residence of the bishop of Constance, it was used for various purposes after the Secularization of 1803. It is now a museum. There is also an expanse of half-timbered houses, and two medieval town gates, which are the remains of the fortification. The Meersburg vineyards at the northern banks of Lake Constance are famous within Germany. The rosée "Weissherbst" wine is a specialty of the region.

Meersburg ist eine Kleinstadt im baden-württembergischen Bodenseekreis. Sie liegt zwischen Friedrichshafen und Überlingen. Meersburg liegt am nördlichen Ufer des Bodensees, am Übergang vom Obersee zum Überlinger See auf einer Höhe von 400 bis 500 Metern. Allein zwischen Unter- und Oberstadt besteht ein Höhenunterschied von 40 Metern. Die Burg Meersburg geht vielleicht auf eine merowingische Befestigung am Fähr-Übergang der wichtigen Straßenverbindung von Oberschwaben über Konstanz nach Rätien zurück. Die Königsburg, zu der vermutlich bereits eine kleine Siedlung gehörte, war seit der Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts in der Hand von königlichen Lehnsträgern, die sich nach ihr nannten, und ging dann in den Besitz der Bischöfe von Konstanz über, die es als Lehen an die Grafen von Rohrdorf ausgaben. Aus dieser Zeit stammen wohl auch die ältesten erhaltenen Teile des Baus. 1071 wurde Mersburg urkundlich erwähnt; 1113 der adelige Liopoldus de Merdespurch, 1142 Mercesburc. Nach dem Aussterben der Grafen 1210 blieben Burg und Siedlung von 1211 bis 1802 im unmittelbaren Besitz des Bischofs. Der 1268 in Neapel hingerichtete letzte Stauferkönig Konradin hatte zuvor mehrere Jahre in der Burg Meersburg seines Onkels, des Bischofs von Konstanz, verbracht.
Die Siedlung entwickelte sich zunächst vor allem oberhalb der Burg, im Bereich der späteren Oberstadt, die 1233 Marktrecht, vor 1260 eine Mauer und 1299 unter dem Konstanzer Bischof Heinrich von Klingenberg das Stadtrecht nach Ulmer Vorbild erhielt. Im selben Jahr wurde die unterhalb der Burg gelegene Siedlung am Seeufer durch Aufschüttung erweitert, so dass Raum für einen großen Marktplatz und für die Erweiterung der Siedlung zur Unterstadt entstand.
Bei der Wahl eines neuen Bischofs wollten Domkapitel und Kaiser unterschiedliche Personen mit dem Amt betrauen. Während der „Bischofsfehde“ im Jahr 1334 wurde die Stadt vom Reichsheer des Kaisers Ludwig der Bayer mit Feuergeschützen erfolglos belagert.[7]
Auseinandersetzungen der Bürgerschaft mit dem Stadtherren Bischof Heinrich IV. von Hewen um die freiere Ausgestaltung der Stadtverfassung durch „Stadtrechtskämpfe“ endeten 1458 mit der Rückkehr des Bischofs auf die Burg und der Niederlage der Bürger. Der Bürgermeister Simon Weinzürn wurde als Wortführer des Protestes 1461 ohne richterliches Urteil im Bodensee ertränkt.[8] Ein Konstanzer Chronist schildert die Tötung Weinzürns so:
„Da sich kein Nachrichter fand, der ihn ohne richterliches Urteil hinrichten wollte, führte man ihn in einem Schiff hinaus auf den See. Hier musste er sich außerhalb des Schiffs auf ein (über den Bordrand gelegtes) Brett setzen, während der bischöfliche Vogt sich innerhalb setzte. An tiefer Stelle angelangt, stand der letzterer dann auf und der letzte fiel mit dem Brett in den See und ertrank.“
– Beschreibung des Christoph Schulthaiss († 1584) in der Konstanzer Chronik über die Ermordung von Simon Weinzürn, übersetzt ins Hochdeutsche. Sekundärquelle Internetseite Meersburg[9]
Das Amt des Bürgermeisters von Meersburg wurde abgeschafft.[10][11] Simon Weinzürn war der erste Bewohner des heute Hotel Weinstube Löwen genannten Gebäudes am Marktplatz.[12]
1509 wurde das Alte Schloss ausgebaut und in der Unterstadt der Getreidespeicher („Gredhaus“) sowie der Hafen gebaut. Im Jahr 1526 siedelte der bischöfliche Hof des Bischofs Hugo von Hohenlandenberg ins Alte Schloss von Meersburg über, weil sich Konstanz als Freie Reichsstadt 1519/1523 der Reformation angeschlossen hatte. Meersburg hingegen lag im Territorium des Hochstifts Konstanz, wo die Fürstbischöfe zugleich Landesherren waren und die weltliche Macht ausübten.[13] So fand am 10. Mai 1527 auch der Prozess gegen den evangelisch gesinnten Sernatinger Frühmessner (Pfarrer) Johann Hüglin in Meersburg statt, ebenso dessen anschließende Hinrichtung. Meersburg blieb weiterhin bischöfliche Residenz, als Konstanz wieder katholisch wurde. 1575 wurde das Amt des Bürgermeisters in Meersburg wieder eingeführt. Die Pestepidemien des 16. Jahrhunderts im Bodenseeraum erfassten in den Jahren 1529, 1575, 1588, 1595 und 1611/12 auch Meersburg.[14]
Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg von 1618 bis 1648 plünderten Schweden und Württemberger Meersburg (siehe Seekrieg auf dem Bodensee 1632–1648). Durch die Pest in den Jahren 1635/36 und 1646 schrumpfte die Meersburger Bevölkerung auf ein Sechstel. An diese Zeit erinnert der Fasnachtsbrauch des „Schnabelgiere“ sowie die „Gesellschaft der Hundertein Bürger“. Ein Gedenkstein an Kaspar Miller, den Meersburger Pestarzt, der selber an der Pest starb befindet sich an der Ostseite der Stadtkirche.[15][16]
Die Burg Meersburg war bis zur Fertigstellung des Neuen Schlosses 1750 ständiger Wohnsitz des Konstanzer Bischofs. Vor allem das 18. Jahrhundert prägte mit dem Bau aus Neuem Schloss (ab 1710–1712), Priesterseminar (1725/29–34) und Reit- oder Stallhof (um 1760) das barocke Panorama Meersburgs am Steilufer zum Bodensee („Seefassade auf dem Meersburger Höhenrücken“).[13]
Kardinal Franz Konrad von Rodt und sein Nachfolger (und Bruder) Maximilian Christoph von Rodt residierten bereits im Neuen Schloss. Im Herbst 1802 besetzten zwei markgräfliche Kommissare mit 100 Mann eines Rastatter Füsilierbataillons Meersburg. Durch Anschlag wurde verkündet, dass Markgraf Karl von Baden nun zuständig sei. Der Konstanzer Fürstbischof Karl Theodor von Dalberg in Konstanz wurde zwei Wochen vorher in Kenntnis gesetzt.[17] Meersburg blieb Residenz des Bischofs bis zur Aufhebung des Bistums 1803.
Thomas Warndorf weist darauf hin, dass die amtierenden Fürstbischöfe sich durch die Familiensitze ihrer Vorfahren, durch Sommersitze, durch die Konstanzer kirchlichen Einrichtungen, durch die weiteren Besitztümer im Hochstift Konstanz sowie durch finanzielle Engpässe nicht dauerhaft in Meersburg aufhielten.
Die Meersburger Fasnacht wurde im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert in Urkunden erwähnt. Zwischen der Großen Konstanzer Narrengesellschaft Niederburg e. V. von 1884 und der Narrenzunft Schnabelgiere Meersburg e. V. besteht ein freundschaftlicher Austausch.[71] Bei der Seegfrörne von 1963 wurde er mit einem Pokal besiegelt, der am 3. März 1963 von den Konstanzern über den zugefrorenen See nach Meersburg getragen wurde. Bei der nächsten Seegfrörne wird er wieder nach Konstanz gebracht.[72]
Der Narrenruf ist „Ho Narro!“. Besondere Veranstaltungen sind:
Narrebomm setzen: Am Sonntag vor Fastnachtssonntag wird ein etwa 30 Meter langer Nadelbaum (Narrenbaum) zunächst durch die Stadt gezogen und schließlich von Zimmerleuten durch Hebelkraft auf dem Marktplatz beim Rathaus aufgerichtet. Mutige Kinder versuchen den glatten Stamm zu erklimmen bis zu einem hoch oben hängenden grünen Kranz. Von diesem Kranz reißen sie einige der dort befestigten Lebensmittel ab, werfen sie in die Menge und behalten einige für sich. Dieser Brauch ist auf die 1920er Jahre zurückzuführen.[73]
Katzemusik: Am frühen Morgen des Schmotzge Dunschtig zieht eine Schar Jugendlicher durch die Stadt und weckt die Bewohner durch dumpfe rhythmische Klopf-Geräusche, die durch das Aneinanderschlagen von Topfdeckeln und anderen Blechutensilien erzeugt werden. Dieser Brauch und der Hemdglonkerumzug wurden 1900 eingeführt.[74]
Schnabelgiere-Umzug: Am Nachmittag des Schmotzge Dunschtig zieht der Schnabelgiere, eine als weißer Vogel mit rotem Schnabel verkleidete Person, durch die Stadt und teilt an die ihn umringenden Kinder Esswaren aus einem umgeschnallten Weidenkorb aus. Der Korb wird entlang der Route fortlaufend mit neuen Gaben bestückt. Die Kinder müssen „Schnabel-, Schnabel-, Giere“ rufen. Sie werden, falls sie zu leise rufen oder sich vordrängen, von zwei als Domino schwarz gekleideten und maskierten Helfern mit luftgefüllten Saublotern (Schweineblasen) an Stöcken geschlagen. Ab 1936 erhielt der Schnabelgiere nach einer Idee von Karl Moll/Willy Seilnacht ein weißes Gewand, in den Zeiten davor war er dunkel gekleidet. In der Winzergasse unterhalb der katholischen Stadtkirche befindet sich seit dem 2. Februar 1964 mit dem Schnabelgiere-Brunnen des Meersburger Künstlers Berti Brandes mit Schnabelgiere, Korb, Domino und Kindern eine würdigende Darstellung.[75][76] Eine ähnlich gekleidete Figur wurde von Paul Fürst als Pestdoktor in seiner Schutzkleidung dokumentiert.[77] Die Figur der Meersburger Burghexe wurde 1995 von der Narrenzunft Schnabelgiere geschaffen.[78]
Hemmedglonker-Umzug: Am Abend des Schmotzge Dunschtig führt ein Umzug von Meersburgern im weißen langen Nachthemd mit Fackeln durch die Stadt. Dieser Brauch wurde im Jahr 1900 vom damaligen Schüler und späteren Bürgermeister Karl Moll aus Konstanz mitgebracht. Zwei übergroße Hemdglonkerpuppen (Mädle fünf Meter groß und Bue sieben Meter hoch) werden mitgetragen. Zum Abschluss wird am Schnabelgiere-Brunnen in der Winzergasse vom Hemdglonkerkönig, einem Meersburger Abiturienten, gekennzeichnet durch Mollkopf (Moll als Schwellkopf), eine humorige Glonkerrede in alemannisch über die Begebenheiten des vergangenen Jahres in Meersburg gehalten.[79]
Hänsele-Treiben: Beim Fasnet-Treiben (Fastnacht) sind diese Gestalten mit Ganzkörper-Anzügen aus schuppenförmigen Stoffstücken verkleidet und vermummt. Sie bewegen sich hüpfend und johlend in Gruppen. Das Kostüm stammt aus der Zeit um 1790 und wurde nach Zeiten des Verbietens und Vergessens dieser Vermummung 1951 wieder eingeführt. Zu den Hänsele gehört das Karbatschen-Schnellen, das Lärmerzeugen durch das Schwingen mit einem drei bis vier Meter langen Seil an einem Holzstiel, und die Holzpritsche zum geräuschvollen „Schlagen“ auf die Schulter.

This is maybe GCT no.30, HEE 825, a Roe Bodied AEC Reliance dating from 1956. I assume it was waiting its turn for a overhaul or repaint at Grimsby Bus Depot?
I can confirm that it is no.30, as it has the replacement driver's windscreen in place. It suffered a serious accident in 1964 and was repaired by Roe, in 1965, and put back into service for a further 10 years.
'Classic Remise' is the name for a business model (service centers for motorcycles and automobiles specializing in the field of classic, vintage and collector vehicles). There are two Classic Remises in Berlin and Düsseldorf. Both service centers are located in listed buildings with an industrial traffic background.
In the Classic Remise Düsseldorf there are 80 glass storage boxes and 35 specialised service providers - among them dealers, restorers, workshops, shops for clothing and automobilia as well as a restaurant and a beer garden (open in summer). The range is rounded off by service providers such as vehicle care providers, saddlers, expert offices and motorcycle specialists.
The site has a large event hall and smaller event areas, which are booked by companies for presentations, conferences and sales meetings. At the location, rallies take place, tours start or major old-timer-related events.
The Classic Remise Düsseldorf is located in a former railroad roundhouse built between 1929 and 1931. The building has a semicircle as its base. The diameter of the locomotive shed is almost 150 m, making it one of the largest preserved locomotive sheds of its kind in Europe. A two-storey restaurant was built on the site of the former hub, the space between the restaurant and the old building was covered with a modern transparent roofing foil construction.

There is a second doll line that Integrity produces exclusively for Ashton Drake, called the brides of Dracula. I am not sure, but I think they are using FR head molds. They will have a 12'' body but not one of the bodies we already know from the FR line. Each doll will sell for 149.99$, which is a LOT for them in my opinion, and can only be ordered at Ashton Drake. AD does not ship internationally, what frustrated a lot of collectors and I also don't like the development.
I will pass on these- neat, but too expensive, and I just don't like painted on fangs, and Mina's outfit is the only one I kind of like. Plus, these dolls do not seem to have an airbrushed make-up.

St Mary, Troston, Suffolk
Troston is a little-known village in the quiet lanes between Bury and Diss, purposeful and pleasing, the church quietly grand in what it must be said is a rather bleak churchyard, entirely cleared of headstones by lawnmower enthusiasts at some point. The porch is a bold, confident statement of the late 15th century, with image niches, Marian monograms and a dedicatory inscription in the flushwork. As pevsner points out, it is very similar to the porch at nearby Honington, so presumably the work of the same masons.
St Mary is a complex building. The porch and Decorated windows should not distract from the fact that St Mary looked pretty much as it does now by 1300, when the tower was added to the existing nave and earlier chancel. St Mary can seem gloomy as you step into it - we haven't been prepared for gloom by an obviously Norman structure as we are at Thornham Parva or Wissington. But as your eyes become accustomed to the light, you realise you are inside a church of outstanding interest, and, perhaps one that is a little unusual, for the 19th Century restoration was carried out by a local amateur architect who just happened to be the patron of the living.
Robert Emlyn Lofft was the grandson of the radical lawyer and writer Capel Lofft, and he inherited Troston Hall in 1866. His enthusiasm for architecture extended not just to the church but to a number of buildings in the parish which survive with their idiosyncrasies, including the former village school. Fortunately for us Lofft was an enthusiastic antiquarian, and if the 19th Century patina of the interior is inescapable there are still a number of quite remarkable earlier survivals.
The most striking of these is Troston's fine group of wall paintings. It would be wrong to call them a sequence, for they are separate subjects from different times and apparently by different hands. Most prominent is the 15th century figure of St George on horseback, dispatching a dragon. He is a fine figure, and you can sense the force with which the lance is pushed home. Roughly contemporary with him is a stately St Christopher, familiar from a hundred other East Anglian churches of course, but here with a gravitas he sometimes lacks elsewhere.
There is another figure, a knight on hoseback, who appears to be forcing his lance into a dragon-shaped space, almost certainly another St George. But the most interesting thing about him is that he is older than the two larger paintings, a reminder that wall paintings in churches were successively covered and repainted as artistic fashions and devotional priorities changed and developed. In many places, we find that by the later years of the 15th century they are being covered up, and the walls are being punched through with large windows, to illuminate the new arrangement of pulpit and benches, and the great rood above the chancel arch - this, a full half century before the Protestant Reformation.
The most memorable of the paintings here is perhaps the excerpt from what appears to be a 14th century martyrdom of St Edmund scheme. The saint leans back on a tree, his body already pierced by arrows, his attackers looking on. Troston is on the route between the probable site of that martyrdom in Hellesdon near Norwich and the saint's final resting place at Bury Abbey. These paintings are all on the north wall, but above them all, over the chancel arch, sits a 15th century Christ in Judgement, blood spurting from his wounds.
In the chancel, St Mary retains the fixings for the Lenten veil, and the Early English detailing of the south wall still suggests something of the quiet mystery of medieval Catholicism before the awe and wonder of the 15th century Perpendicular mood made its impression on Suffolk churches. The woodwork behind the altar was probably the eastern parapet of the rood loft, a rare survival. But the loveliest feature of the chancel is not medieval at all. It is the 1964 east window, by Harry Stammers, and it must rank among the finest of his work. It depicts the story of Emmaus, the unrecognised Christ walking along the road with his two companions, and then making himself known to them above at the supper table in the breaking of the bread.
As with many churches, St Mary retains its low-side window. These were intended to be opened for the sanctus bell rung at the consecration of the Mass to be heard across the parish outside, enabling those of the community at work in the fields to pause and join in the contemplation of this most sacred moment. But they were also probably a means of controlling ventilation. The flicker that the updraught of air would have given to the candles on the rood loft above might not have been intended, but it would certainly have been effective. Uniquely in Suffolk, Troston retains the wooden shutter which the clerk would open to ring the bell.
At the back of the nave, the late medieval benches retain some carvings, including a female figure kneeling at a prayer desk which might have been part of an Annunciation. Certainly, she is not a mermaid as I've seen recorded elsewhere. Other woodwork includes the huge pulpit and reading desk, as big as a family car parked at the east end of the nave. It was cobbled together by Lofft in the 1860s, reusing a pulpit from 250 years earlier.
The royal arms are lettered for George I, but they are actually Stuart arms for James I as you can see from that monarch's motto at the bottom, Exurgat Deus Dissipentur Inimici a cry from the Psalms for God to rise up and disperse his enemies.
As you can see, Troston church is an interesting and unusual church which is not as well-known as many of Suffolk's other churches. This is a church to savour, hopefully in silence and solitude. Things here need to be contemplated. It is a place to sit and wonder.
This is a photograph from the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 21st May 2019 at 20:00. This race needs no introductions as it is is now firmly established on the Leinster road racing calendar with athletes travelling from all over the region to take part. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. It is one of the rare occasions around road racing circles these days where a very small club can organise a very successful large participation race. The attendance at this year's race exceeded all expectations. Today's race had another very large attendance with over 620 participants finishing the race following on from around 500 finishers last year. Popup Races were the official timing and event management partners of the race.
Our full set of photographs from today's race is at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157708548820525. Please acknowledge us if you use these photographs for any purpose
This race commemorates the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC. Na Fianna AC are typical of many rural sporting clubs who have a large catchment area which combines rural North Kildare and South Meath taking in Enfield, Rathmoylan, Johnstownbridge and Baconstown. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport. Indeed, not many road races are held in the same affection by runners as Bob's Race with runners returning back every year to sample the course and the wonderful atmosphere again. More rarely heard is runners reminiscing of running this race 15 or 20 years ago! What a fantastic endorsement of the race.
Indeed, we remember the days 16 years ago when this race was held in the village of Rathmoylan about 10 miles from the current venue. In those days the race was deemed a success if 75 to 100 runners made the start line. What a testimony to the hard work of Na Fianna AC today's race is! The weather was perfect for road racing - hardly any wind and warm temperatures - with bright hazy sunshine.
The race is part of the Popup Races KIA Race Series. The race is also part of the annual Meath AAI Road Race League despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Endenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants. The course is very fast and flat - it is a one loop course which is left-handed in terms of turns. Indeed some parts of the route between 2 and 4 K have been resurfaced recently adding a flat smooth track like surface to this section. The prize giving and refreshments for runners is provided in the Nightclub section of the Hamlet Court Hotel.

This is a Honey Bee (Apis mellifera, Hymenoptera) inside a gorgeous yellow flower of a native "Prickly Pear" (Opuntia) cactus in the Cactaceae plant family - probably the Coastal Pricklypear (Opuntia littoralis). I think we collected a piece of the cactus many years ago in the Santa Monica Mountains, and it's done well in our garden. The flower has an interesting effect on the bees. They act stoned after a minute in the flower, and have to leave and fly around for a while until they come back again - as they always do. I've tried various web searches for this behavior, with no luck so far. (San Marcos Pass, 16 June 2015)
I didn't really have time for photos this morning, but I got a couple while I was waiting for Julie to come down to start collecting our camping stuff for the the Live Oak Music Festival next weekend. Then I went off to town.
Our kids (and grandkids!) don't arrive until 5:00 pm tomorrow, so I probably will have time to post a few photos. Then on Thursday it's off to the line-up at Live Oak! We been going to this great festival for 20+ years.
Mahishasuramardhini Mandapa (Cave Temple; also known as Yampuri) is an example of Indian rock-cut architecture dating from the late 7th century, of the Pallava dynasty. It is a rock-cut cave temple located on a hill, near a lighthouse, along with other caves in Mamallapuram. It is the one of the finest testimonials of ancient Vishwakarma Sthapathis (Vishwakarma sculpture). Mamallapuram, also popularly known as Mahabalipuram, is a small village to the south of Chennai, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is part of the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, a UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 1984. This Cave Temple has many interesting architectural features of which three exquisitely carved reliefs on the cave walls of three sanctums are prominent. One is of Vishnu reclining on the seven hooded serpent, Adisesha, another of Durga, the main deity of the cave temple slaying the buffalo headed demon Mahishasura, and the third sanctum also has a sculpture of Vishnu. The cave also depicts many scenes from the Puranas (Hindu mythology stories in Sanskrit dating from the 5th century AD).
LEGEND
According to legend, Durga killed the demon Mahishasura, who was considered unconquerable. Hence, following his slaying, she was given the title Mahishasuramardhini (conqueror of Mahisha). The granite-carved cave temple depicts the goddess Mahishasuramardhini, considered an incarnation of the goddess Durga, and is named after her as "Mahishasuramardhini Cave Temple". The cave's interior relief depicts this battle. The goddess is shown riding a lion, her several arms holding a bow and arrow, pursuing the retreating Mahisha with his followers.
HISTORY
The cave is dated to the period of king Narasimhavarman Mahamalla (630–668 AD) of the Pallava dynasty, after whom the town is also named. The cave architecture is also said to be a continuation of the great religious themes that were carved in Western India. The cave reflects a transitional style of architecture in its columns mounted on seated lions and frescoes carved on the walls inside the cave which evolved during the rule of Pallava kings Mahendra Varman I and Rajasimha or Narasimhavarman I known as Mamalla. This style was continued by Mamalla's son Parameshvaravarman I. Historical research has also confirmed that Mahabalipuram town came to be established only after it was named after Mamalla and the caves and rathas are all attributed to his reign during the year 650 AD.
GEOGRAPHY
Mahishasura Mardhini Cave or Mantapa is situated on the top of a hill range along with other caves in Mahabalipuram town, on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal of the Indian Ocean. Now in the Kanchipuram district, it is approximately 58 km from Chennai city (previously, Madras) and about 32 km from Chingelpet. A lighthouse is located beside it. A structural temple of the 8th century called the Olakkannesvara Temple (mistakenly called a Mahishasura temple) is situated near this cave at a vantage location which provides scenic views of Mamallapuram. The area is a high security zone as there is a nuclear power station a few kilometers to the south; hence, photography is prohibited.
LAYOUT
The cave shrine faces east and has three chambers. Its internal dimensions are 9.8 m in length, 4.6 m in width, and 3.8 m in height. There is frontal projection of the main central chamber when compared to the two chambers which flank it. In the front façade of the cave are 10 horseshoe-shaped windows which are kudus on the cornice; these are unfinished carvings. The cornice also depicts carvings of five gable-roofed semi-complete shrines. The façade has four carved pillars and two pilasters at the ends, which are part of the façade and are carved in the traditional Pallava architectural style. The central chamber is fronted by a small mukhamandapa (entrance porch), which has two carved pillars with lion bases in the Pallava style.
ARCHITECTURE
The mandapa is one of the most important caves in Mahabalipuram. It is dedicated to the goddess Mahishasuramardini, who is considered an incarnation of the goddess Durga. The mandapa is carved into the granite rock face of a hill. The verandah cut at the cave entrance, long and calumniated, has a composition of three chambers; the central chamber entrance depicts guardians (dwarapalas) on the flanks. The back wall of the central chamber features a carving of a Somaskanda panel; this panel is carved with images of Shiva and his consort Parvathi in their regal dress, each wearing a crown known as kirita-mukuta and other ornamentation, with their son Skanda seated between them. This panel also shows the carving of Nandi (bull), Shiva's mount (Vahana). Chandesa, an ardent devotee of Shiva, is carved to the left of the carved images of the trinity gods Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu, who are shown standing behind the main image of Shiva and Parvathi. The carving of the trinity gods gives the impression that they are pleased with the seated couple of Shiva, his consort and their son. In the individual depiction, Brahma is carved with four heads and four hands, with the upper hands holding a water vessel and akshamala; the lower right hand is shown raised in an appreciative gesture to Shiva, while the left hand is in a kataka mudra. Vishnu's carving is also depicted with four hands; chakra and shankha are held in his upper hands, with the lower left hand showing a gesture of appreciation to Shiva, and the lower right hand held up in a kataka mudra. The image of Surya (Sun) is carved on the top part of the panel, between Brahma and Vishnu. A separate Brahma panel carving appears on the back wall of the left chamber, while the right chamber is repeated with a panel of Shiva that, according to the opinion of archaeologists, was originally meant to host a panel of Vishnu. Another interpretation mooted for the dominance of Shiva panels in this cave is that the religious leaning of the Kings who ruled at that time changed from Vaishnavism to Shavisim. Additionally, the Somaskanda panel in this cave is of a different architectural composition than similar panels carved in Dharmaraja Ratha, the Shore Temple, and the Atiranachanda Cave. Archeologists suggest the panel here was created during the reign of Rajasimha.
The north wall in the cave contains a relief depicting the battle scene of the two adversaries, goddess Durga and the demon buffalo-headed Mahishasura. This panel symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. The carving is considered one of the best creations of the Pallava period. In the war scene, Durga appears with eight hands riding a fierce-looking lion. She is holding a khadga (sword), dhanush (bow), bana (arrows), ghanta (bell) in her four right hands; her four left hands display pasa, sankha, and dagger. An attendant holds a chatra (parasol) over Durga's head. She is in the battlefield with her army of female warriors and ganas (dwarfs). She is shown attacking, with arrows, the demon Mahisha, causing him to retreat with his followers. Mahishasura is armed with a gada (club).
On the southern face of the cave, there is a panel of Vishnu in an Anantasayana mudra, a reclining posture, lying on the bed of a serpent. He is shown with two hands holding the coil of the five-headed serpent known as Adisesha, which forms a cover over Vishbu's head. Madhu and Kaitabha, the two demons, are carved near Vishnu's feet in an attacking mode, armed with a gada (mace). The demons are in a position of retreat, as Adisesha hisses at them with flames emerging from its hoods. Vishnu, unconcerned, is patting Adisesha to pacify him. Also shown in the panel are the two ganas (dwarfs). Dwarfs are Vishnu's ayudhapurushas (as his personified weapons); the male gana is known as shankha or Panchajanya, and the female gana is Vishnu's gada Kaumodaki. Also seen in the panel, at its lower end, are three figures; his chakra (discus) is Sudarshana in ayudha-purusha form, Nandaka on the right is his khadga (sword), and the female figure is Bhudevi, also as ayudha-purusha.

This is a shot from my back door. Every fall the Red Maple in behind and the younger Norway Maple in front create an interesting color contrast. The Red Maple turns flaming red by the end of September and retains its leaves for 3-4 weeks. The younger Norway Maple, however, remains green until late in the season, late October. It doesn't put on much of a color display either with many of the leaves falling while they are still partially green.
This monstrous fence is being constructed to annoy and impede the travel of Torontonian's. This is what 2 billion bucks gets you, fences and cops.
5 days from now you won't be able to get near where this photo was taken as the fence will be secured all around and hundreds of cops to ensure you stay away.

This is Fernando, he is one of about 20 migrant fruit pickers whom I met this morning while getting strawberries (I was picking my own) to take to a friend's house for dinner this evening.
Fernando is from a small village outside of Patzcuaro in the State of Michoacan in Mexico. He is picking strawberries right now, and next he will pick Peaches and then, whatever is ripe.
He makes between $10 and $15 dollars and hour and lives in a boarding house in Chester, South Carolina with a bunch of other guys who also come from Mexico. He sends the great majority of what he makes home to his family. Fernando is the most fluent, in English, of all them. He was not very friendly at first, but when I told him that I knew Patzcuaro, and would be visiting there later this summer he willingly struck up a conversation.
I asked him if he liked it here, and he said...that liking wasn't a part of it. That he came here for a purpose.
He certainly didn't intend to do this, but I felt so foolish that I had asked the question in the first place.
Fernando is #18 in my 100 Strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100strangers.com
