Biddles is written at the top of the LH page and Vet Biddles at the top of RH page.
William and Lucy BIDDLES.
William B. BIDDLES is shown on the 1891 census living in Cross Street, Reading, Berkshire with his wife Lucy. Age 39 years, he was a chemist and veterinary surgeon born in Quordon, Leics. Lucy, 40, born in Wootten, Hants.
By 1901 the family and his business had moved to 243, Oxford Road Reading where he was both a dental and veterinary surgeon (!)
Ten years later they had moved again to a 11 room dwelling at 40 Prospect Street, Reading. By now William stated that he was just a vet.
William Byron BIDDLES married Lucy CORPER at St Paul's, Deptford on 16th Feb 1882. Both of their fathers were farmers.
There is only a slight change of less than 2 degrees to the angle of the 16-Piece module to make it 17-Piece. Folding from "Hong Pows" [Lucky Red Packets] will generate different kaleidoscopic patterns for the front and back. The models in their closed or compressed state are very stable but when expanded, becomes unstable and will break apart easily when over-expanded. I did not assemble any 17-Piece modules for version #1 as the centre holes get larger with more modules added. In this version #2 the centre holes only get slightly larger when in their closed or compressed state. The modules are folded from 7.5cm squares of Chiyogami and squares cut from Hong Pows. Many thanks to Andrey Hechuev's 8-Piece New-Found Hope Star which has inspired me to come up with this Expandable Pinwheel Series.
This is the result of a guy in a Saturn Vue pulling out in front of me, where I didn't quite have enough time to react to miss him completely. Impact at about 45 MPH, air bags deployed, spun the other car completely around. Mangled the hood and fender, broken headlight, grille, bumper cover, cracked wheel, creased door, small crease in the roof suggesting frame damage, air suspension blown out on both sides and control arm broken on the impact side.
The officer at the scene estimated $8000 in damage, and the car wasn't worth anywhere near that, so obviously it was totaled. But it gave its life to protect me; my only injury from the accident was an abrasion on the wrist from the air bag deploying.
The Lincoln emblem from the grille stayed with me as a memento of a car I'll always remember fondly.
This is Khan el-Khalili, a marketplace in Old Cairo that was built on the site of the royal palace and cemetery of the Fatimid Dynasty, with redevelopment of the area into an urban neighborhood during the 14th Century under the Mamluk Dynasty. By the late 1400s, the souk, or marketplace, had become a major center of international trade, with its long, narrow streets protecting merchants and goods (including many slaves) from the harsh sunlight of Egypt’s arid climate. However, the souk did not take on its current form until the rule of Sultan al-Ghuri, whom altered the layout and added many structures to the souk, including the monumental gates and a large funerary tomb complex, as well as rearranging the streets into a grid pattern. A large Turkish presence historically existed in the souk, as the Turks were some of the most prolific merchants in the Islamic world prior to and during the Ottoman Empire period, and the area was historically the center of the Turkish community in Cairo, especially during the Ottoman Empire. Today, the souk remains full of shops and life, though it has transitioned from a marketplace of foreign goods into a market mainly catering to foreign tourists, with many locals owning souvenir and various goods shops in the district, along with several cafes and restaurants.

Limonium is a genus of 120 flowering plant species. Members are also known as sea-lavender, statice, caspia or marsh-rosemary. Despite their common names, species are not related to the lavenders or to rosemary. They are instead in Plumbaginaceae, the plumbago or leadwort family. The generic name is from the Latin līmōnion, used by Pliny for a wild plant and is ultimately derived from the Ancient Greek leimon (λειμών, ‘meadow’)
Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
This is a picture of my S-M-C Macro-Takumar f4 using a new (to me) Petri lens that I'm working on adapting to be used on my R7. The Petri mount is super weird and not very popular or common. This is my 3rd Petri lens.
I'm 3D printing the mount. So far, so good. But for this image I just held the lens up to the M42 to Canon RF adapter and shot it.
The lens itself looks interesting. I need to get this mount figured out first and then do some testing.

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.
Our full collection of photographs from the races today are available on Flickr at this set www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157659898745159

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!

REMARKS:
Clandon Park is one of the country’s most complete examples of a Palladian mansion, built by a Venetian architect for the Onslow family in the 1720s. The magnificent interiors are faithful to the period, featuring original plaster ceilings, the most impressive of which is in the breathtaking Marble Hall. Since then the estate has been passed down through generations of Onslows.
Today the house at Clandon Park contains a superb collection of 18th-century furniture, porcelain and textiles, much of which was acquired by the remarkable connoisseur Mrs Gubbay.
Hinemihi is the only historic Maori meeting house (whare nui) in the UK and one of only a handful outside New Zealand. She was carved in 1880/81 in the shadow of volcanic Mt Tarawera in New Zealand’s North Island close to the town of Rotorua. Grade II listed.
The Grotto is a Grade II listed building also, and was originally used to diplay a statue of 'The Three Graces' but after restoration this was transferred to the house.
Built around 1776 by Capability Brown.
This is generally part of Fort Amherst, but I think specifically this
is actually called Wareham's Cove, named for the family who settled at
this spot a couple of hundred years ago. It looks back into St.
John's and just after sunset the light can be pretty nice. The four
light poles in the midground light up a busy small-boat basin. Across
the way, the 9 or 10 tall light poles light up the American Wharf.
The Roman Catholic Deanery Catholic Church Telfs is located in the market town of Telfs in the district of Innsbruck-Land in Tyrol. The parish church Peter and Paul belongs to the deanery Telfs in the diocese of Innsbruck. The church is a listed building.
History
In 1113, the consecration of a chapel was recorded. The already existing longer parish was first mentioned in documents in 1233. 1331 called a document a parish church Saint George and 1352 a document a parish church Saints Peter and Paul. For the 1475 consecrated church fires for 1447, 1550 and 1552 have been recorded. The church became a deanery church in 1602, with the dean's office temporarily moving to Flaurling. An extension was consecrated in 1666.
Today's monumental twin-towered Romanesque church was built from 1860 to 1863 by architect Johann Eiter according to the plans of the road and bridge architect Leopold von Claricini-Dornpach and consecrated in 1886. The western Romanesque Petersturm (Saint Peter's Tower) and the eastern still Baroque Paulsturm (Saint Paul's Tower) were built in 1901 by the master builder Alfons Mayr according to the plans of architect Leopold Heiß from 1898.
Architecture
Interior of the church: After the demolition in 1981: Choir without organ prospectus: seating with aisle
The three-aisled cruciform basilica with a semicircular choir has two façade towers with coupled and provided with trefoil blind arch acoustic windows and pointed gable helmets. The aisles are equipped with transept arms with triangular gables. The transept arms are continued with sacristy buildings designed in the same way. The outer walls were divided by fields with round-arched frieze conclusion. The portals and windows are round-arched with laterally adjusted columns. The southern main façade with the towers has a rosette, a triangular gable with arched frieze and a statue of the Good Shepherd and shows a Nazarene lunette fresco with the appearance of the Risen Lord on the Sea of Galilee by the painter Johann Kärle (1902).
Inside the church, clustered colums and round pillars alternate with neo-Romanesque capitals. The nave, the crossing and the choir yoke have a cross vault, the transept arms barrel vaults. The main apse and side altars are half-domed vaulted. The nave has arched windows in the aisles and clerestories. In the transepts is each a circular window. In the choir, there are round-arched three- mullioned windows to the sacristies on both sides.
In 1962, with the architect Josef Lackner followed an overpainting of the wall and vault painting with bright white for a luminous interior of the church. The organ choir was transferred to the sanctuary. In the main entrance, a square baptistry was installed in the middle between the entrance doors on the left and right with glass windows and concrete crosses. The people's stood in the middle in the transept with a seating left and right and a seating in the central ship of the nave. With the paradoxical claim A future for the past, the interior of the church was renewed (back into the past) in 1981.
Equipment
The high altar crucifix from the beginning of the 19th century was transferred here from the Calvary St. Moritzen. The right side altar bears a former procession figure Saint Sebastian by the sculptor Urban Klieber from the end of the 18th century. The station pictures around 1730/1740 are from the workshop Michael Ignaz Mildorfer. At Christmas time, a wooden nativity scene by Josef Anton Puellacher from the end of the 18th century is set up.
A bell was cast in 1740 by Johann Paul Schellener.
Die römisch-katholische Dekanatspfarrkirche Telfs steht in der Marktgemeinde Telfs im Bezirk Innsbruck-Land in Tirol. Die Pfarrkirche Peter und Paul gehört zum Dekanat Telfs in der Diözese Innsbruck. Die Kirche steht unter Denkmalschutz.
Geschichte
Im Jahre 1113 wurde die Weihe einer Kapelle beurkundet. Die bereits länger bestehende Pfarre wurde 1233 erstmals urkundlich genannt. 1331 nannte eine Urkunde eine Pfarrkirche hl. Georg und 1352 eine Urkunde eine Pfarrkirche Hll. Peter und Paul. Für die 1475 geweihte Kirche wurden für 1447, 1550 und 1552 Brände genannt. Die Kirche wurde 1602 Dekanatskirche, wobei der Sitz des Dekanates zeitweise nach Flaurling wechselte. Ein Erweiterungsbau wurde 1666 geweiht.
Der heutige monumentale doppeltürmige neuromanische Kirchenbau wurde von 1860 bis 1863 vom Architekten Johann Eiter nach den Plänen des Straßen- und Brückenbaumeisters Leopold von Claricini-Dornpach erbaut und erst 1886 geweiht. Dem westlichen neuromanischen Petersturm und dem östlich noch barocken Paulsturm wurden 1901 neue einheitliche Turmabschlüsse vom Baumeister Alfons Mayr nach den Plänen des Architekten Leopold Heiß aus 1898 aufgesetzt.
Architektur
Kircheninneres: Nach dem Rückbau 1981: Chor ohne Orgelprospekt: Bestuhlung mit Mittelgang
Die dreischiffige kreuzförmige Basilika mit einem halbrund schließenden Chor hat zwei Fassadentürme mit gekoppelten und mit dreipassförmigen Blendbögen versehenen Schallfenstern und Spitzgiebelhelmen. Die Seitenschiffe sind mit Querschiffarmen mit Dreiecksgiebeln versehen. Die Querschiffarme werden mit gleich gestalteten Sakristeianbauten fortgesetzt. Die Außenwände wurden durch Felder mit Rundbogenfriesabschluss gegliedert. Die Portale und Fenster sind rundbogig mit seitlich eingestellten Säulen. Die südliche Hauptfassade mit den Türmen hat eine Rosette, einen Dreieckgiebel mit Rundbogenfries und eine Statue des Guten Hirten und zeigt ein nazarenisches Lünettenfresko mit der Erscheinung des Auferstandenen am See Genezareth des Malers Johann Kärle (1902).
Im Kircheninneren wechseln sich Bündelpfeiler und Rundsäulen mit neuromanischen Kapitellen. Das Langhaus, die Vierung und das Chorjoch haben ein Kreuzgewölbe, die Querschiffarme Tonnengewölbe. Die Hauptapsis und Seitenaltarnischen sind halbkuppelig überwölbt. Das Langhaus hat Rundbogenfenster in den Seitenschiffen und Lichtgaden. In den Querschiffen ist je ein Kreisfenster. Im Chor sind beidseits rundbogige Drillingsfenster zu den Sakristeien.
1962 erfolgte mit Architekt Josef Lackner eine Übertünchung der Wand- und Gewölbemalerei mit hellem Weiss für ein lichtvolles Kircheninneres. Der Orgelchor wurde in den Altarraum versetzt. Im Haupteingang wurde mittig zwischen den Eingangstüren links und rechts mit Glasfenstern und Betonkreuzen eine quadratische Taufkapelle eingerichtet. Der Volksaltar stand mittig im Querschiff mit einer Bestuhlung links und rechts und einer Bestuhlung im Mittelschiff des Langhauses. Mit dem paradoxen Anspruch Eine Zukunft für die Vergangenheit wurde das Kircheninnere im Jahre 1981 rückerneuert.
Ausstattung
Der Hochaltarkruzifix aus dem Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde vom Kalvarienberg St. Moritzen hierher übertragen. Der rechte Seitenaltar trägt eine ehemalige Prozessionsfigur hl. Sebastian vom Bildhauer Urban Klieber aus dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Die Stationsbilder um 1730/1740 sind aus der Werkstatt Michael Ignaz Mildorfer. Zur Weihnachtszeit wird eine Bretterkrippe von Josef Anton Puellacher aus dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts aufgestellt.
Eine Glocke goss 1740 Johann Paul Schellener.
This is a photograph from the 11th annual running of the Tom Brennan Memorial 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held on Furze Road, Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Dublin, Ireland on New Year's Day Friday 1st January 2016 at 12:00. The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. The weather was not the best for fast racing. A very very strong stormy headwind into the faces of participants along Chesterfield Avenue made this particular section tough going for everyone. There was also a particularly cold icy feel in the air. However several hundred runners, joggers and walkers braved the elements to take part.
The race is organised and promoted by the local athletics club Liffey Valley Athletic Club who are based in Islandbridge, Dublin 8 and have a catchment area around this part of Dublin city.
The race commemorates the memory and contribution of former club member Tom Brennan who won the National Cross Country Championships in 1975 in UCD Belfield at the age of 24 years. A special commemorative perpetual trophy is presented to the winner of the race every year. The race is also of particular interest to those runners, joggers and walkers who are not necessarily involved in the competitive side of the race. Annually the race is the first of a series of races in Dublin city which make up the Lord Mayor’s 5 Alive Challenge. This initiative by Dublin City Council is now in its fourth year and over 300 runners, joggers and walkers volunteer to take part in five of Dublin’s most popular road races. The Liffey Valley Club and many other volunteers work hard to make this a very successful event. It provides a splendid opening of the New Year for runners of all abilities. It is also a fitting 'official' start to the new year of road racing in the Dublin and North Leinster region.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs which was taken at the race. The complete set is available on our Flickr page at [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157662953593456]

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.

Rockville Maryland. March 30 2017. Around two dozen activists and supporters affiliated with a group named Help Save Maryland rallied in front of Carver Educational Services Center to challenge the Montgomery County School Board response to an alleged rape incident at Rockville High School involving a 14 year old girl and two older reportedly "illegal aliens" from El Salvador. The HSM folks I interacted with were approachable, polite and largely respectful of my activities of documentation. On the other hand, the speechifying by the group exemplified 'dog whistle' bigoted politics in every way you could imagine. One speaker even shouted out Takoma Park, DC and San Francisco as bastions of anti-Montgomery values that were infecting our County. Anti Immigrant? Check? Anti LBGTQ? Check. Hippies Destroyed Western Civilzation? Check! A dozen or so counter demonstrators mobilized by Indivisible Maryland quietly protested HSM.
Dublin Castle is currently an Irish government complex, conference centre, and tourist attraction. It is located off Dame Street in Dublin, Ireland.
The castle complex also hosts the Chester Beatty Library, in a purpose-constructed facility, with a café, the Garda Museum, in the Treasury Building, and the Revenue Museum.
The former site of the "dark pool" on the Poddle was remodeled into a garden, with a water feature that commemorates fallen Gardaí, and a helipad.
Until 1922 it was the seat of the British government's administration in Ireland. Most of the current construction dates from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King John, the first Lord of Ireland. The Castle served as the seat of English, then later British, government of Ireland under the Lordship of Ireland (1171–1541), the Kingdom of Ireland (1541–1800), and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1800–1922).
After the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921, the complex was ceremonially handed over to the newly formed Provisional Government led by Michael Collins. It now hosts the inauguration of each President of Ireland, and various State receptions.
The castle was built by the dark pool ("Dubh Linn") which gave Dublin its name. This pool lies on the lower course of the River Poddle before its confluence with the River Liffey; when the castle was built, the Liffey was much wider, and the castle was effectively defended by both rivers. The Poddle today runs under the complex.
Trelissick Garden is a garden in the ownership of the National Trust at Feock, near Truro, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
Trelissick Garden lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.
The garden has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1955 when it was donated by Ida Copeland following the death of her son Geoffrey. A stained glass memorial bearing the Copeland Crest remains to this effect in Feock parish church. The house and garden had formerly been owned and developed by the Daniell family, which had made its fortune in the 18th Century Cornish copper mining industry.
Many of the species that flourish in the mild Cornish air, including the rhododendrons and azaleas which are now such a feature of the garden, were planted by the Copelands including hydrangeas, camellias and flowering cherries, and exotics such as the ginkgo and various species of palm. They also ensured that the blossoms they nurtured had a wider, if unknowing audience. Mr Ronald Copeland was chairman and later managing director of his family's business, the Spode china factory. Flowers grown at Trelissick were used as models for those painted on ware produced at the works.
The Copeland family crest, a horse's head, now decorates the weathervane on the turret of the stable block, making a pair with the Gilbert squirrels on the Victorian Gothic water tower, an echo of the family who lived here in the second half of the 19th century (their ancestor, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, was lost at sea in his tiny ship Squirrel after discovering Newfoundland).
The garden is noted for its rare shrubs. It offers a large park, woodland walks, views over the estuary of the River Fal and Falmouth.
This is a photograph from the 14th annual running of the Tom Brennan Memorial 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held on Furze Road, Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Dublin City, Ireland on New Year's Day Tuesday 1st January 2019 at 12:00. The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, looped route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. The weather on New Year's Day, over the past years, in the Phoenix Park has always been unpredictable and today was no different. The mild and calm weather of the Christmas period continued and there was near perfect conditions for running. A slight headwind into the faces of participants along Furze road (between 2KM and 3KM) was hardly noticeable in the mild conditions. However several hundred runners, joggers and walkers shook off the effects of Christmas celebrations to take part. The route itself is flat without any noticeable undulations. This year's race had one of the biggest field of participants in its long and well established history.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs which was taken at the race. The complete set is available on our Flickr page at [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157705212556295]

This initiative by Dublin City Council is now in its seventh year and several hundred runners, joggers and walkers volunteer to take part in five of Dublin’s most popular road races. Dublin City Council makes an open call for people to register to be a part of the programme in autumn every year.
The Liffey Valley Club and many other volunteers work hard to make this a very successful event. Undertaking a road race event in any location is a challenging task. However the Phoenix Park presents a unique challenge in terms of traffic flow around this part of Dublin and general logistics. Despite this the efforts by the host club are greatly appreciated as is evident by the turn out every year. It provides a splendid opening of the New Year for runners of all abilities. It is also a fitting 'official' start to the new calendar year of road racing in the Dublin and North Leinster region.

This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon held at Lusk, Co. Dublin, Ireland on Easter Saturday, 19th April 2014 at 09:00. The race started and finished in the grounds of Lusk United Soccer Club (goo.gl/maps/luVz1). The marathon route followed four loops of a route around the back roads north of Lusk village. The rural roads were perfect for the marathon as there was very little traffic except some movement of agricultural machinery between various farms. This area of Co. Dublin is famous for it's vegetable growing industry. A water and feed station was provided at the end of the loop [here goo.gl/maps/A1JU1]. This was almost the perfect day for marathon running. There was little or no breeze. However temperatures were unseasonably high with temperatures close to 18C (64F) during the race.
The East Of Ireland Marathon Series aims to make marathons affordable and convienient for the runners of Ireland. The serires organisers aim to promote marathon running and to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys. However all finishing times are accurately and officially recorded. This is to keep the price down and keep the races as affordable as possible. The East of Ireland Marathon series is all inclusive and welcomes runners who are new to marathon running as well as experienced veterans.

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
This is an abundant and fairly tame bird, familiar throughout its range. It is a bird which breeds in open country with bushes. In Africa and Arabia it is found in arid areas, but is more diverse in its habitats further east. This species often hunts from low perches, maybe only a metre or less high. It readily makes use of fence wires and electric wires.
They are mostly see in the plains but can sometimes be found up to 5000 or 6000 feet in the Himalayas. They are resident in the lowlands of South Asia but some populations move seasonally but the patterns are unclear.[3] In parts of Pakistan, they are summer visitors.
This is flood damage left over from a hurricane that hit in 2011. This picture was taken in West Nanticoke, PA along the Susquehanna river. The flood destroyed most of the Wyoming Valley area, and people are still suffering from the damage 6 years later.
Dunluce Castle is believed to have been built in the site of an earlier fort by Richard de Burgh or one of his chief followers in the thirteenth century. The castle was taken by force from the McQuillens by Sorley Boy McDonnell after the Battle of Orla in 1565. The castle eventually came into the possession of his son Randal McDonnell, an earl, who set about restoring it and building a lavish manor house within the castle walls.
A village grew up around the castle, merchants settled there, and it became a thriving focus of commerce.
In 1639, part of the castle, including the kitchens, fell into the sea. Seven cooks died.
The 1641 rebellion saw the castle sieged by an Irish army. While the surrounding village burned, the castle held out under the command of a Captain Digsby. General Munro arrived here in 1642 with a large army and is said to have arrested and imprisoned the Earl in Carrickfergus and ransacked Dunluce. The Earl re-occupied Dunluce Castle after 1666 and lived there until his death in 1683.
After the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, which led to the impoverishment of the McDonnells because they had adhered to the cause of James II, Dunluce Castle was abandoned.
Iceland is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic, with a population of 364,134 and an area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi), making it the most sparsely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Reykjavík. Reykjavik and the surrounding areas in the southwest of the country are home to over two-thirds of the population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, with most of the archipelago having a polar climate.
According to the ancient manuscript Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in 874 AD when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent settler on the island. In the following centuries, Norwegians, and to a lesser extent other Scandinavians, emigrated to Iceland, bringing with them thralls (i.e., slaves or serfs) of Gaelic origin.
The island was governed as an independent commonwealth under the Althing, one of the world's oldest functioning legislative assemblies. Following a period of civil strife, Iceland acceded to Norwegian rule in the 13th century. The establishment of the Kalmar Union in 1397 united the kingdoms of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Iceland thus followed Norway's integration into that union, coming under Danish rule after Sweden's secession from the union in 1523. Although the Danish kingdom introduced Lutheranism forcefully in 1550, Iceland remained a distant semi-colonial territory in which Danish institutions and infrastructures were conspicuous by their absence.
In the wake of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Iceland's struggle for independence took form and culminated in independence in 1918 and the founding of a republic in 1944. Although its parliament (Althing) was suspended from 1799 to 1845, the island republic has been credited with sustaining the world's oldest and longest-running parliament.
Until the 20th century, Iceland relied largely on subsistence fishing and agriculture. Industrialisation of the fisheries and Marshall Plan aid following World War II brought prosperity and Iceland became one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world. In 1994, it became a part of the European Economic Area, which further diversified the economy into sectors such as finance, biotechnology, and manufacturing.
Iceland has a market economy with relatively low taxes, compared to other OECD countries, as well as the highest trade union membership in the world.It maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. Iceland ranks high in economic, democratic, social stability, and equality, currently ranking third in the world by median wealth per adult. In 2018, it was ranked as the sixth most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index, and it ranks first on the Global Peace Index.Iceland runs almost completely on renewable energy.
Hit hard by the worldwide financial crisis, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed in October 2008, leading to a severe depression, substantial political unrest, the Icesave dispute, and the institution of capital controls. Some bankers were jailed. Since then, the economy has made a significant recovery, in large part due to a surge in tourism.
Icelandic culture is founded upon the nation's Scandinavian heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is descended from Old West Norse and is closely related to Faroese. The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, Icelandic literature, and medieval sagas. Iceland has the smallest population of any NATO member and is the only one with no standing army, with a lightly armed coast guard.
This is a 2024 upload of a scanned image from my collection. Probably 95% come from slides, the remaining 5% are prints or negatives. They include my own Kodachrome slides, as well as other photographers, which are noted accordingly when the identity is known. All have been collected over the past 40+ years of shooting, exchanging, and purchasing. I was fortunate enough to trade with some of the best aircraft photographers in the world.
This archive was first created in 2017, to easily view my collection in an accessible venue.

The International Peace Garden is a 3.65-square-mile (9.5 km2) park located adjacent to the International Peace Garden Border Crossing along the Canada–United States border between the province of Manitoba and the state of North Dakota. It was established on July 14, 1932, as a symbol of the peaceful relationship between the two countries.
The slogan Peace Garden State originates from the International Peace Garden, and was added to vehicle registration plates of North Dakota in 1956, In the next year, the North Dakota Legislative Assembly made the slogan an official state nickname.
The park plants over 150,000 flowers each year. Main features of the garden include an 18-foot (5.5 m) floral clock display, and fountains. A chime, and twin 120-foot (37 m) concrete towers straddled the border with a peace chapel at their base; the chapel walls were inscribed with notable quotes about peace. However, the concrete towers had been declared unsafe due to irreparable weather-related erosion and were demolished in 2017. As of 2018, a new tower was slated for construction on the spot.
The Arma Sifton bells are a chime of 14 bells cast by Gillett & Johnston bellfounders. The bells were a gift from Central United Church of Brandon, Manitoba, in 1972. The tower was supplied by North Dakota Veterans and dedicated in 1976. Some building remains of the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, have been placed in part of the garden.
The Masonic Auditorium, built in the shape of a Masonic Square and Compasses, was completed in 1981 as centennial project of Grand Lodges of Manitoba and North Dakota and features seating for 2,000 people. The Peace Garden Lodge of Freemasons holds an annual communication on the property. The officers, ritual and program are rotated each year between the Grand Lodges of Manitoba, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Saskatchewan.
The Peace Garden hosts two youth camps every summer, the International Music Camp and the Legion Athletic Camp. Additionally, it has hosted the International Hamfest, an Amateur Radio meet-up, every year since 1964.
Located at the garden is the North American Game Warden Museum.
The park lies near the center of the Turtle Mountain plateau, whose climate, topography, wildlife, and natural vegetation differ considerably from the surrounding prairies.
The park is located north of Dunseith, North Dakota, at the northern terminus of U.S. Highway 281 in northwestern Rolette County. It is also adjacent to the southeast corner of Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in the Municipality of Boissevain – Morton, south of Boissevain, Manitoba, at the southern terminus of Manitoba Provincial Highway 10. Paid admission is required.
Visitors from either country can enter the park via US 281 or MB 10, without passing through customs, and may move throughout the park (crossing the international boundary at will) without restriction. However, the International Peace Garden Border Crossing stations for Canada and the U.S. are located on the roads just north and south (respectively) of the access drives for the garden, requiring all visitors – including those returning to the country from which they arrived – to go through the immigration procedures of their destination country upon leaving the garden.
International Peace Garden Airport is located to the east of the garden on the U.S. side of the border.

«And that is another part of the magic of an adventure like this: the evening meals with delicious raw fish, a beer beforehand with a chance to hear stories of Jérémie’s numerous trips around the world. It is meetings like these with people who are used to travelling to the 4 corners of the world, and who have different attitudes to life, that make you think a bout things, and certainly in my case, change your own attitude». Hugo.

«Et c’est aussi ça qui fait la beauté d’une aventure comme celle-là : ce sont les repas le soir autour d’un poisson cru, les apéros autour d’une bonne bière, durant lequel j’ai pu entendre les récits captivants des nombreux voyages qu’a effectué Jérémie tout autour du Monde. Ce sont des rencontres comme celles-là, avec des gens habitués aux excursions aux 4 coins du globe, qui ont des visions différentes de la vie, qui font mûrir et qui ont, sans aucun doute, changé la mienne». Hugo.
This photo is looking through the Mother of the Forest in Big Basin Redwoods State Park, California's oldest state park and is located along the Redwood Loop Trail.
This bears an uncanny resemblance to a much older (~100 years? if you know the date, please let me know!) photo of Andrew P. Hill at the same tree:

Walmer Castle is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII in Walmer, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's Device programme to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, and defended the strategically important Downs anchorage off the English coast. Comprising a keep and four circular bastions, the moated stone castle covered 0.61 acres (0.25 ha) and had 39 firing positions on the upper levels for artillery. It cost the Crown a total of £27,092 to build the three castles of Walmer, Sandown, and Deal, which lay adjacent to one another along the coast and were connected by earthwork defences.[a] The original invasion threat passed, but during the Second English Civil War of 1648–49, Walmer was seized by pro-Royalist insurgents and was only retaken by Parliamentary forces after several months' fighting.
In the 18th century, Walmer became the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and was gradually modified from a military fortification into a private residence. Various Prime Ministers and prominent politicians were appointed as Lord Warden, including William Pitt, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Granville, who adapted parts of the Tudor castle as living spaces and constructed extensive gardens around the property. By 1904, the War Office agreed that Walmer had no remaining military utility and it passed to the Ministry of Works. Successive Lord Wardens continued to use the property but it was also opened to the public. Walmer was no longer considered a particularly comfortable or modern residence, however, and Lord Curzon blamed the poor condition of the castle for his wife's death in 1906.
Lord Wardens since the Second World War have included Winston Churchill, Robert Menzies and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, but they have made only intermittent use of Walmer Castle. In the 21st century, Walmer Castle is run as a tourist attraction by English Heritage. The interior of the castle displays a range of historical objects and pictures associated with the property and its Lord Wardens, protected since the 19th century by special legislation. The grounds include the Queen Mother's Garden, designed by Penelope Hobhouse as a 95th birthday gift for Elizabeth in 1997. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmer_Castle)

How is one to choose the right university? Should the European university ranking be consulted? Is it better to study in the EU or in the US? Does vocational training provide better chances of getting closer to the real labour market needs? It is these pressing questions of the youth that were answered during the Citizens' Corner debate on studying abroad that was hosted live from the European Parliament in Brussels on December 17, 2013.

This is a Model E— with f3.5 85mm 3-element Wollensak Anastigmat in a Rapax Synchromatic shutter, 9 speeds from 1 second through 1/400, plus B & T. This shutter is functioning correctly at all speeds. I do not have any shutter test equipment, but all speeds sound correct. Red M and Black M syncs have also been tested and fire correctly. Leaf shutters X-sync at all speeds. Good optics with minimal cleaning marks, bright mirror. Leatherette is all intact. The two front panel leatherette pieces have been replaced and are not identical to the original, but a reasonable match. No rust; paint is very good with some minor edge wear. Viewfinder has ground glass focus screen with no Fresnel, and no parallax correction mask.
Case with strap are in excellent condition for their age, other than obvioussurface cracking on the top. The short strap is a replacement, and a reasonable match to the original. The extension strap is also a replacement and a close match to the original. Case screw is not included. I haven't shot any film in this one, but I have used other Ciro-flexes and had excellent results. I check focus (viewing lens zeroed to taking lens) at 8ft., using a 30X magnifier and ground glass on the film plane.
Verdun is on the Meuse in the Lorraine region of North Eastern France that came to prominence with a German bombardment against a relatively unprepared French army on 21 February 1916. During the course of the following 11 months, each side incurred casualties of approximately 400,000 each. Much of the landscape still bears the scars of repeated battle and bombardment and has numerous forts and monuments dedicated to the enormous loss of life in the engagements during this period which still resonate in the minds of the French to this day, including Douamont, Vaux, Mort Homme, the Ossuary, la cote 304 and La Voie Sacrée.
