...and then, after a few hours of waiting, Lyanna is back "They are at like 30 minutes from here." "Well." all the soldiers are already hidden in position and they are only awaiting a single command from Alexander to start the fight. Minutes seems reall long before the first Drow mercenaries appears; Alexander awaits until they come within the reach of bow's arrows and then the the trap is sprung: the Drow are trapped.

I decided to "remake" the previous MOC, depicting the moment the Avalonian trap was sprung against the Drow.

This is so not the photo I envisioned when I set out today. But I have an excuse. I hurt my back this week, and as a result have spent several days lying flat on my back. I attempted a 'shoe' themed shoot earlier in the week with even worse results (it's actually so bad it is kind of funny, I used it as Pyper 52 week photo because I couldn't bother to do another on for her. www.flickr.com/photos/55135762@N02/8666463174/in/photostr... ) BUT, today we awoke to SNOW, and I had this idea for a shot with Lucy and flip-flops in the snow lamenting the return of winter. Unfortunately, not being able to stand for very long, and Lucy having no idea what I wanted her to do (it was like I was suddenly speaking a different language), and her getting more and more confused the more I tried THIS is what I got. Not great, the shoes are cut off, and the focus is on her nose her eyes, but, at least I made the deadline. I hope things are better next week. Shooting is really difficult when you can only stand dead straight, not bend or kneel or move in any direction.

This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Clonard 4 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Clonard Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 14th September 2019 at 10:00. The race starts and finishes at St. Finian's GAA Park in Clonard Village with parking and race HQ in the adjacent GAA facilities. The race is organised to raise funds for the ongoing development of both the infrastructure and games development of Clonard GAA.

 

The race was held in glorious September sunshine along a well known running and walking route around the village. The four mile distance is somewhat unique these days but is very suited to the layout of the roads in Clonard as it allows the race to start and finish in the safety of the GAA grounds away from the busy R148 road. The race features two significant hills over the M6/M4 motorway. Otherwise the route is fair and a good test of runners of all abilities.

The Clonard GAA club and community organised the race to the highest standard with excellent marshaling and traffic management in place (with thanks to the local Gardai). There was also a wonderful spread of refreshments provided in the GAA club house afterwards.

For some reason, when I was emptying the trash last night Lucille freaked out and dove into the bathroom garbage can. She proceeded to try and wedge herself down into the bottom and was scratching at something even though the can was completely empty. She flailed around for the longest time and I thought maybe she was stuck upside down, but she'd get herself out, only to dive right back in. She's a bit crazy.

WELCOME TO INDONESIAN SAWDUST / WOOD CHIPS FACTORY

 

Sawdust is one of the wastes that we can get from the sawing process carried out by carpenters.

In general, there are some people who immediately throw away this sawdust, even though if you look at it more broadly, it turns out that this sawdust waste has a lot of benefits.

 

Our sawdust, as well as sawdust in general, is obtained from the process of sawing pine and sengon wood done by our expert team.

In the logs, the choice of saws is used for furniture / furniture, while the sawdust is used for other purposes.

 

One of the benefits of sawdust from an industrial point of view is that it can be used as a raw material for making mosquito coils, concrete flexibility, a mixture for making glue and also used as a raw material for making vehicle brake pads.

This wood powder is in great demand in the manufacture of several industrial and home products because of its friendly and environmentally friendly prices, so it can reduce production materials to a minimum and increase the marketing price as high as possible so that as much profit can be obtained.

 

THE BENEFITS OF WOOD POWDER

 

It turns out that apart from that sawdust still has a lot of uses that are environmentally friendly and good for our lives, now what are the benefits included are as follows:

 

1. As a raw material for making furniture

 

Sawdust has good benefits as a mixed raw material in furniture making. We can see some furniture factories that choose to replace wood products into aluminum and so on which are good for our growth and development as well as our children.

This is because the aluminum or plastic materials contain a lot of chemicals that are not good for the body. This is because wood raw materials are starting to be difficult to obtain due to land conversion into buildings.

For that we can use this sawdust as an additional material for making furniture for the manufacture of chairs, cabinets and other furniture products, so that it is more hygienic, environmentally friendly and good for body health because it does not contain excess chemicals.

 

2. As a brick making material

 

Modern technology, as it is today, also utilizes sawdust as a raw material for the mixtures in brick-making.

From the results of the study concluded that the mixture of sawdust in the brick can reduce production costs, and it is said that the quality of the brick made is also no less strong than the type of brick that does not use a mixture of sawdust.

 

3. As a base for keeping hamsters, rabbits, reptiles, cats and other pets.

 

Usually this sawdust is placed on the bottom of the hamster or guinea pig cage. The goal is to make the hamster or guinea pig feel comfortable, be able to warm the hamster's body and if you urinate it doesn't smell bad.

In addition, hamsters or guinea pigs also enjoy playing in cages filled with sawdust.

 

4. As a planting medium

 

The benefits of sawdust in agriculture can be used as a planting medium or fertilizer, because it is obtained from nature and made from natural raw materials. Wood powder as a planting medium will be very good and more natural with good results.

By using sawdust as a planting medium will be able to optimize the maximum absorption of water and nutrient elements in plants. With the increased absorption of water and nutrients in plants, the fertility of the planting medium and fertility will be better.

You can use sawdust or sawdust as a planting medium in polybags or small pots, and it can also be used as a growing medium for larger plants.

 

5. As a sausage casing

 

Do you often consume sausages? If you look in more detail, every sausage that is marketed must have an outer layer that covers the sausage meat.

The outer layer that covers the processed sausage meat is not the plastic wrap for sausage, but the layer of red or creamy processed meat on the sausage.

Well, it turns out that this layer is treated with the benefits of sawdust. However, don't worry, because the layer made from wood dust has been processed in such a way, and is safe for consumption. This will not endanger health, because it is already standardized internationally.

 

6. As a briquette from sawdust

 

In fact, for those who are creative sawdust can be used as a business opportunity, as well as the benefits of wood sawdust, it can be processed into briquettes.

This briquette can be used for everyday cooking. This briquette made from wood saw waste has a much cheaper price than coal briquettes and is certainly environmentally friendly. When compared with the use of natural gas and kerosene, briquettes from sawdust are much more effective and efficient, of course, can reduce the daily household expenditure budget.

For those who are able to process this sawdust into briquettes, it will certainly bring benefits to you, because it will increase your sales turnover. You can develop this sawdust briquette business until it becomes one of the big industrial forms again.

 

7. As a substitute for fuel

 

This sawdust can also be used as fuel for cooking, as a substitute for paper because it is easier to generate fire. This will be very helpful in cooking and it is faster to turn on the fire and the burning process is also better.

Those are some of the benefits of sawdust that we can list, but actually there are many more benefits of this sawdust such as paper making, food wrapping, brake lining and others.

This is a photograph from the inaugural Fr. Murphy A.C "Streets of Athboy" 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held in the town of Athboy, Co. Meath, Ireland on Friday 8th August 2014 at 20:00. The "Streets of Athboy" is a new addition for 2014 to the already very well populated Meath Road Race Running Calendar. The race started and finished in the town and followed a nice mostly flat route. The very rainy weather of recent days cleared off and the race was held in very good weather conditions for running. Refreshments were provided afterwards in St. James' Hall in the town where the race headquarters and registration took place. Athboy is located west of Navan on the N51 between Navan and Delvin. Athboy is also very close to the Westmeath border which is only a few miles away to the west of the town. About 260 participants took part in the event this evening which invited runners, joggers and walkers to Athboy.

 

We have a small set of photographs from tonight's event and they are available on our Flickr Photostream in this album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157646274860062

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 a picture of a branchlet from a dawn redwood tree (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) on the snow. The dawn redwood is one of three different types of redwood trees. Unlike the other two, the sequoia and costal redwood, it is able to grow in colder areas and its needles turn red and are shed every fall unlike other conifers (pines, spruces, etc.). It is smaller than the other redwoods (which can grow well over 300ft), but is still much taller than most trees, often grown over 150ft. However, the dawn redwood is not native to Illinois. Its seeds were brought over from China in the mid 1900s and now grows in many parts of the United States. I see it often around here, mostly in the Morton Arboretum. This tree can grow up to 5ft per year. One I planted a few years ago is close to 9ft. This makes me wonder if this species might be a threat to the local ecosystem. I have not heard of this plant causing any problems, but since it is non-native and grows very quickly, it must have some effect on the local plant or animal life that might be seen at some point in the future.

Is this considered photography?

Sometimes I can't figure it out.

 

There is little known but much speculated about Operation TRACER, and that was the way Naval Intelligence Division wished it to be. The operation was conceived in summer 1941, and was to involve a secret observation post to report on shipping movements even after the place on which they were constructed had fallen into enemy hands. In this case the place was Gibraltar, and the enemy, Operation FELIX (Germany's operation to capture Gibraltar).

 

A group of 6 men (originally 5) would be equipped with sufficient wireless equipment, supplies and water to keep them operating for a year underground.

The only surviving document detailing the operation sits in the National Archives, in the form of a 3 page TOP SECRET summary simply titled

TRACER, by C.L.M. (ADM 223/464, pages 268-270).

 

This rare and privileged visit was facilitated by the Gibraltar Museum, under whos custodianship the cave now falls. They permit a small number of visitors per year, and special permission was granted to permit me to take photographs.

 

I will conduct analysis of the images and fully intend to write a report on my conclusions and interpretation of the bunker. It will be published on frontlineulster.co.uk if you wish to read more.

is that it is june 10th!?

and the hoophouse still sits here, like this, overgrown with weeds and with last year's tomato vines and zinnia stalks still where they grew, with scraps of the plastic still attached from when it finally ripped to pieces in a windstorm last fall.

i've been such a slacker,

but it is NOT too late!

this is next up to be tackled in the coming few days, and there is more 6mm plastic in the shed to cover at least most of it again, for the next couple of years.

then, maybe we will invest in some real UV resistant greenhouse plastic.

This is the Swedish Mounted Guard, (a non profit organisation set up in 1985 by Swedish citizens to make sure that this beautefull tradition carries forward for generation to come) on route from their stables to the one of the Royal castles and back.

 

In the very front two sometimes three riding police men and women, followed by two black shire horses on which the rider plays big drums, followed by eighteen horses on which the riders play music, followed by thirty two riding solders and at the back a police horse or two.

 

The horses are owned by the members of the organisation. Between May and Sep there are about a dozen of these parades on a weekly basis whilst throught out the years the dircing horses are used for state visits.

Cassidy is a Rosen Lied Tuesday's Child Limited Chocolat Candy Cane. I think she is gorgeous! Her eyes are a pretty, super pale green with very dark brown/burgundy (not creepy) centers and her wig is basically platinum blonde. It isn't pure white and has a mixture of white and light blonde fibers. Normally I don't really care for blonde dolls, but she is most definitely an exception and I think the wig and eyes look perfect on her. She has just 2 tiny flaws- whoever did her faceup got the bottom edge of her lower lip very uneven (you can kind of see it in the photo) and her left eyelash has about twice as many fibers as the right which is odd looking and annoying.

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was 17?

Travis is my long lasting love.

Only edited for colour; the rain is actually just rain. PRESS L.

Today it rained really hard all day. But we were glad to see it, as the grass was getting yellow and crops were dying. So it's nice to see our good old friend back ;) That's England, I guess.

 

An exam tomorrow, then going to finish off my project with my friend :)

  

ANd thank you sososososo much Meggie for the testimonial; it means so much to me <3

The Pied Bushchat, Saxicola Caprata, is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It and similar small species in the family, are often called chats.

 

It is a resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from the Middle East through India and eastwards to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

 

It is found in open habitats like scrub, rough grassland and cultivation. It builds its nest in a hole in a wall or similar site, and lays 2-5 eggs.

 

The Pied Bushchat is slightly smaller than the Siberian Stonechat, Saxicola Maura, although it has a similar dumpy structure and upright stance. The male is black except for a white rump, wing patch and lower belly. The males of the race bicolor have vermiculated dark grey upperparts.

 

The female has dark brown upperparts and rufous underparts and rump. She has no white wing patches. Juveniles are similar to females.

 

This species is insectivorous, and like other chats hunts from a prominent low perch.

Intensive farming is a practice of reusing farmland season to season instead of the more traditional practice of shifting agriculture where an area of forest is slashed and burned, farmed out, then left behind. AS the populations grow and forests shrink shifting agriculture is no longer sustainable. Yayorin's intensive agriculture demonstration plot took over a burned area to show local communities how to compost, etc in order to be able to reuse a single, permanent plot of land season after season. From a March 2009 trip with writer William deBuys traveling to Indonesian Borneo (Central Kalimantan, Indonesia) to visit with NGOs Yayorin and Orangutan Foundation UK to explore the social and environmental dynamics of forest conservation in and around the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. The LWR is a release site for the Bornean Orangutans, the central area for an upcoming Rare Pride Campaign, and site of a proposed community-based carbon trading demonstration site for the UNDP's REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) program.

The Shire horse is a breed of draught horse (BrE) or draft horse (AmE). The breed comes in many colours, including black, bay and grey. They are a tall breed, with mares standing 16 hands (64 inches, 163 cm) and over and stallions standing 17 hands (68 inches, 173 cm) and over. The breed has an enormous capacity for weight pulling, and Shires have held the world records for both largest overall horse and tallest horse at various times. Throughout its history, the breed has been popular for pulling brewery wagons delivering ale to customers. This practice continues today, with the breed also being used for forestry, leisure and promotional pursuits.

 

In 1878, the British organization now known as the Shire Horse Society was created, with the American Shire Horse Association beginning in 1885. The breed was exported from Britain to the United States in large numbers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but popularity fell as mechanisation increased, reaching a low point in the 1950s and 60s. Popularity began to increase again in the 1970s and after. However, population numbers are still considered to be at critical levels by both the UK-based Rare Breeds Survival Trust and the US-based American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

Manzoor Ahmed is something of a heroic guy. His company, Fusionfoods, runs pop-up restaurants and catering in East London for people on low incomes.

Manzoor set up the business after struggling to find work in the restaurant industry as he got older, finding that employers favour younger workers with lower pay demands. As part of his business model he trains and providing employment for young people in local communities who are out of work. He's supported by the charity For Common Cause, so the whole thing is pretty legit

 

This was Manzoor's first popup at a new venue, Red Door studios, on Masterman Road, East Ham. The theme was dress to impress, but i'm not exactly sure how to do that without alienating a large group of people so i just showed up as my usual self and nobody seemed to notice (or maybe they did notice and were just too polite to mention anything - I WILL NEVER KNOW). Red Door is pretty cool - something of a hybrid between an art gallery, hall, open kitchen and recording studio. There is a skeleton sitting on a piano and an electric organ which may or might not work,

 

As for the cuisines he's fusing, on the main part it's Indo-Pakistani (where Mazoor seems to focus), Al Maghreb (an area in North West Africa that includes Morocco, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia) and a little bit of Mauritian food too. The event has vibe of a party being held in a community centre (which is, I suppose, what it is) - think kids running around, a real nice guy called Jonah playing the guitar, and everybody sitting at long tables, doing the BYOB thing, and I dunnoâ¦discussing the weather or some shit. It was a pretty good turnout. Manzoor is pretty hands on, speaking with all the diners and doubling as an MC for the evening as well. He's doing a good thing here and I am trying in my own way to raise his profile as best I can with the images I have taken and the things I have written. Well done Manzoor.

This is Sarah, my best friend and my other half.

Not the most beautiful pictures, but they make me laugh. But don't worry, we can be pretty as well, so expect at least one more photo :D

Tetraodontidae is a family of primarily marine and estuarine fish of the order Tetraodontiformes. The family includes many familiar species, which are variously called pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab. They are morphologically similar to the closely related porcupinefish, which have large external spines (unlike the thinner, hidden spines of Tetraodontidae, which are only visible when the fish has puffed up). The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey.

Pufferfish are generally believed to be the second-most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog. Certain internal organs, such as liver, and sometimes the skin, contain tetrodotoxin and are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan (as 河豚, pronounced as fugu), Korea (as 복 bok or 복어), and China (as 河豚 hétún) when prepared by specifically trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity.

The Tetraodontidae contain at least 120 species of puffers in 19 genera.[1] They are most diverse in the tropics, relatively uncommon in the temperate zone, and completely absent from cold waters. They are typically small to medium in size, although a few species can reach lengths of greater than 100 cm (39 in). (Wikipedia)

What is sane, anyway? I'll let you fine people ponder that one while I go off to take more pictures.

 

HDR of a fallen tree at Asylum Lake. Once again I spent my lunch hour taking pictures instead of eating (I can eat at my desk when I get back from work; I'd eat at my desk anyway, since there isn't any other place).

This is a photograph of Asha Bahtia who works as a teacher for the blind for one of the NAB projects in Mumbai. Although acceptance for the blind is still a problem, people like Asha are working to change that. She said that families, even though they do not abandon blind or seeing impaired family members, they may be overprotective or neglect them. Part of Asha's work is to educate families and also to assist the seeing impaired to become more independent. Asha is standing near a huge traffic light that she says is used to teach the seeing impaired about crossing the street. Seeing impaired people are helped to learn everyday life skills, including navigating the trains, which is difficult even for fully sighted persons.

 

This particular project also offers accredited paramedical training in accupressure, physio-therapy and massage. Because it is a professional course, students have to pay a small, but affordable fee. The approach is to promote independence for seeing impaired people as much as possible. The school also has a garden project. Students are taught how to tend plants and this particular project grows and sells wheatgrass. Asha, an MBA graduate, called working for this project, "the most satisfying experience".

Sequoia National Park is a national park in the southern Sierra Nevada east of Visalia, California, in the United States. It was established on September 25, 1890. The park spans 404,063 acres (631.35 sq mi; 1,635.18 km2). Encompassing a vertical relief of nearly 13,000 feet (4,000 m), the park contains among its natural resources the highest point in the contiguous 48 United States, Mount Whitney, at 14,505 feet (4,421 m) above sea level. The park is south of and contiguous with Kings Canyon National Park; the two are administered by the National Park Service together.

 

The park is famous for its giant sequoia trees, including the General Sherman tree, one of the largest trees on Earth. The General Sherman tree grows in the Giant Forest, which contains five out of the ten largest trees in the world. The Giant Forest is connected by the Generals Highway to Kings Canyon National Park's General Grant Grove, home to the General Grant tree among other giant sequoias. The park's giant sequoia forests are part of 202,430 acres (81,921 ha) of old-growth forests shared by Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Indeed, the parks preserve a landscape that still resembles the southern Sierra Nevada before Euro-American settlement.

Wikipedia: Little Moreton Hall is a moated half-timbered manor house 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Congleton in Cheshire, England. The earliest parts of the house were built for the prosperous Cheshire landowner William Moreton in about 1504–08, and the remainder was constructed in stages by successive generations of the family until about 1610. The building is highly irregular, with three asymmetrical ranges forming a small, rectangular cobbled courtyard. A National Trust guidebook describes Little Moreton Hall as being "lifted straight from a fairy story, a gingerbread house". The house's top-heavy appearance, "like a stranded Noah's Ark", is due to the Long Gallery that runs the length of the south range's upper floor.

 

The house remained in the possession of the Moreton family for almost 450 years, until ownership was transferred to the National Trust in 1938. Little Moreton Hall and its sandstone bridge across the moat are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and the ground on which Little Moreton Hall stands is protected as a Scheduled Monument. The house has been fully restored and is open to the public from April to December each year.

 

At its greatest extent, in the mid-16th century, the Little Moreton Hall estate occupied an area of 1,360 acres (550 ha) and contained a cornmill, orchards, gardens, and an iron bloomery with water-powered hammers. The gardens lay abandoned until their 20th-century re-creation. As there were no surviving records of the layout of the original knot garden it was replanted according to a pattern published in the 17th century.

This is a photograph from just after the 7 mile mark of the 8th annual running of the Trim AC 10 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 5th February 2023 at 12:00. The race attracted over 1,600 finishers which demonstrates again the popularity of this race. Indeed the event shows growth year on year mirroring the growing popularity of the race. The race started on the Trim/Athboy road on the town's ring road and proceeds to take an anti-clockwise loop out towards the village of Dunderry and townland of Kilbride before returning back to the Trim Industrial Estate for the finish. The route is held on quiet country roads with some hills at 3, 6, 8 mile segments. The road is well marked and marshaled and is comfortable able to accommodate the race at its current size.

  

Timing and overall event management was provided by the Co. Kildare based company Popup Races. The results and more details about the race will be found on their website at www.popupraces.ie

Wolf's Lair is the standard English name for Wolfsschanze, Adolf Hitler's first World War II Eastern Front military headquarters, one of several Führerhauptquartier (Führer Headquarters) or FHQs located in various parts of Europe. The complex, which was built for Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, was located in the Masurian woods, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the small East Prussian town of Rastenburg, now Kętrzyn in Poland.

 

The Wolf's Lair was the location of the 20 July plot to kill Hitler. During the period of reconstruction of the Führer Bunker in the summer of 1944, the daily strategy meetings were moved to the little building known as the Lager barrack, where staff officer Claus von Stauffenberg carried a bomb hidden in a briefcase into the meeting room and placed it just a few feet away from Hitler. At 12:43 pm the bomb devastated the interior of the building but left Hitler only slightly injured. However, four others died from their wounds a few days later. The force of the blast was diminished because, Hitler called the meeting slightly earlier than expected at the last minute leaving Stauffenberg enough time to arm one of the two bombs he had prepared. However Stauffenberg may have had the time to arm both bombs if it wasn't for a war injury on his hand, preventing him from working at a faster rate; and a staff officer unknowingly moved the briefcase on the opposite side of a thick wooden table leg from where von Stauffenberg had placed it, probably saving Hitler's life. It is believed that had the bomb exploded in the massive concrete Führer Bunker as originally intended, everyone in the structure including Hitler would have been killed.

 

The original bunker system was constructed by Organisation Todt, but the later planned enlargement was never finished; the expansion work was stopped only a few days before the Russian advance to Angerburg (now Węgorzewo), only 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away.

 

Hitler first arrived at the Wolf's Lair late on the night of 23 June 1941,[1] and departed for the last time on 20 November 1944. Overall, he spent over 800 days there during that 3½-year period.

 

The complex was blown up and abandoned on 25 January 1945, but many of the bunkers were so thick that their damaged walls and ceilings remain. The remains are located in Poland at the hamlet of Gierłoż (German: Forst Görlitz) near Kętrzyn.[2]

This is a photograph from the Mullingar Harriers "Pat Finnerty Memorial" 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 8th May 2019 at 20:00. This race follows on from the famous and well loved Mullingar Road League of years gone by which was held in Belvedere Gardens outside the town on every Wednesday in May. This league is now compressed to a once-off-race and the race started and finished at Mullingar Harriers' Training Facilities on the Clonmore Link Road. The course was a two loop, left handed course. Electronic timing was provided by MyRunResults.com. Over 100 people took part. The conditions were not ideal for 5KM running with a unseasonably cold evening with a stiff breeze.

 

Richmond is a town in North Yorkshire which boasts a sizeable ruined medieval castle on a strong defensive position high above the River Swale.

 

The town features a large Market Place with the former Trinity Church, now the Green Howards military museum, at its heart, in addition to the Obelisk. This marks the location of a large (now disused) underground reservoir that was key to supplying the town with fresh drinking water when constructed in 1771.

 

The former Railway Station and Goods Shed, built by the North Eastern Railway Company and disused since the closure of the branch to Darlington in the 1960s have been tastefully converted to an arts and social hub, retaining many original features of the buildings.

 

The famous enamelled AA sign for the 1927 Solar Eclipse is a unique survivir and can be found on Victoria Road.
