Grade ll* listed.
There is a pair of ancient oak stalls, c14. The origin of these is unknown. (The oak stalls could possibly be from Roche Abbey in Rotherham.)
They feature 2 misericord hinged seats with a carved face on one and a green man on the other. Carvings on the elbows have faces and animals on them.
There is also a bench which looks like it was originally a stall with misericords. The centre section has been removed (you can see a gap), but they have fine carved elbows at each end.

There is a third, similar gate with the word "THERE" over the top. (My battery gave out before I was able to shoot it.) Taken alone, it could be taken as a rebuttal to Gloria Steinem's "There is no there there" remark concerning the city, Oakland, where this garden is located. Taken in concert with the other two gates they constitute the title to the Beatles song "Here, There and Everywhere".
Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, located in Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. It is the second most populous city in Scotland and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is home to the Scottish Parliament and the seat of the monarchy in Scotland. The city is also the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. It is the largest financial centre in the UK after London.[

First of all, this is the first photo me and little Mac have taken since we started this album way back in April. I have to thank her so much because if she hadn't gone out with me the first time back then, I wouldn't be pursuing this now. Today I also remembered why she is my favorite person to shoot, all my friends are natural models, but she will always be the one I adventured with first, and that will make every shoot with her special. And she also does crazy things with me... like wake up at five AM to catch the five forty five sun rise, when not many people would do that.
Many of these photos would have worked for what in the end I think I was trying to portray. I also feel like Mac and I also feel this more than a lot of my friends, being from out of state. While her family moved to Kansas last year, her friends and life- where she grew up- is back in New Hampshire. That is her home. And mine is back in Minnesota. But then we have another life in Kansas, a completely different life. They're both separate, and we would never want to combine them. But at the same time it's hard. We'll always be missing something, but we're becoming better at it. :)

This is the "film d'essai" (test film) of my newly-arrived Rollei 35 (year 1973), Lyon, France, March 2, 2023,
After blank mechanical tests and a detailed inspection the day before, the Rollei 35 camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Fomapan Creative 200 film exposed for 200 ISO. Fomapan 200 is a regular panchromatic film sensitized in the red to 690 nm, a bit more than the common panchromatic films as Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5 with a cutoff around 650 nm. The 35mm perforated Foma film is coated on a regular cellulose acetate base tinted in grey-blue to avoid halation. Technical Foma data indicate that the nominal sensitivity is more around 160 than 200 ISO.
Expositions were determined using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. Typically, 1/500s, to 1/125s, were used at f/8 to f/16. Most of the view were taken with a 24mm screwed Rollei filter "Gelb-Mittel" (medium yellow) fitted on the Tessar 1:35 f=40mm lens (Made by Rollei under a Carl Zeiss licence o ft the original Tessar lens for the Rollei 35). The coefficient "+1,5" of the medium yellow filter is equivalent to 0.5 stop.

France
After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (=Agfa Rodinal R09) developer at dilution 1+50, 20°C for 10 min.
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the camera and the lens:
This original Rollei 35 is equipped of the collapsible 40mm Tessar lens "Made by Rollei" under Carl Zeiss licence who designed the first 1:3.5 f=40mm Tessar lens for the Rollei 35. Original Rollei 35 were manufactured by Rollei Franke & Heideke company originally in Germany starting year 1966 then later in Singapore until 1981. Originally, the build-in CdS cell was design by Gossen and the central shutter by Compur. Diaphragm and shutter are operated mechanically by two wheels on the front of the camera. The CdS cell is coupled to both. The Rollei 35 was a miniature 35 mm camera weighting around 320g, about 100g more than the Rollei 35 LED for instance with less mechanical parts. Overall more than 2 millions of Rollei 35 camera were produced over 15 years under different versions. According the serial number (3 410 XXX) of this chrome-plated camera was produced by Rollei Singapore between 01/1971 and 06/1973 and likely after 04/1973 due to the Tessar lens "Made by Rollei" instead of formally Carl Zeiss Tessar (ref : rollei35.eu/rollei35numbers.php#r35ge). It came with its original leather pouch, the wrist strap, a Rollei soft collapsible shade hood, Rollei 24mm screw-on UV and medium yellow filters, and the original user manual.
Australia Day is often seen as a celebration of national pride by Australians but in a nation of immigrants I see it as a chance to celebrate togetherness in diversity.
Melbourne's Docklands put on a fireworks show that I was fortunate to attend with good friends from Australia and from Overseas. A few days from now a good friend and his family will go through their citizenship exams to become one of the latest batch of immigrant Australians.
Happy (belated) Australia Day to Australians old, new and yet to come!
This is from a large album of photographs* that was put together by an employee (or multiple employees) of Empire Gas & Electric in the Finger Lakes region of New York; whether this archive of photos was officially sanctioned or undertaken unofficially, I don’t know.
Most photos are from roughly 1916 to 1925 or so, with a handful from the 1930s, and document the men and women (mostly men, entirely white) who worked for the company as it built the infrastructure that would light and heat the homes and businesses of Auburn, Geneva, Palmyra, Seneca Falls, and many other communities** in that part of the state.
I am so grateful to my friend Rikki in New York for this album and for the kindness and generosity she has shown in both sustaining and feeding my interest in old photos and ephemera.
* Pictures of the entire assembled album are flic.kr/p/2p4H87P and flic.kr/p/2p4KGYg.
** From the Wayne County Journal of Palmyra, New York, September 13, 1923:
The Empire Gas and Electric Company was formed in 1911, merged into itself the Central New York Gas and Electric Company in 1916, and on November 1, 1920, the Company purchased the by-product plant of the Empire Coke Company.
The Empire Gas and Electric Company does the entire electric light, power and gas business of Auburn, New York. It also supplies without competition electricity to Geneva, Cayuga, Seneca Falls, Newark, Waterloo, Phelps, Palmyra, Clifton Springs, Lyons, Clyde, Weedsport and other places; and supplies without competition gas to Geneva, Cayuga, Seneca Falls, Newark, Waterloo, Phelps, Palmyra and Lyons.
With the exception of the season of the steam heating business, the Company's electrical requirements is supplied entirely by electricity generated hydro-electrically.
The estimated population served is 130,000.
This is a photograph from the Portumna Forest Marathon, 50KM, 100KM, and Half Marathons which were held all during Saturday 11th June 2016 starting at 07:00 in Portumna Forest outside Portumna in Co. Galway Ireland. This is a very popular distance running event held annually in the forest. There is a series of loops in the forest which make up a 5KM loop which starts and finishes at the car park/amenity center in the forest itself. The route is predominantly flat and has a very good surface. Shade is provided in many parts of the course with the mature forest which has grown up and is manged by Coilte the Irish Forest service. In the photographs in this set you will mainly see 50KM, 100KM and 1/2 marathon runners. The 50KM runners have BLUE bibs, the 100KM green bibs while the 1/2 marathon runners have red bibs. The marathon distance race starts at 12:00 and these photographs are mostly taken between 07:00 and 11:00. The location and organisation is excellent and there is a great atmosphere amongst all of the runners, joggers and walkers who take part in the various distances.

There is very little left now to mark the site of ‘Fairbottom Bobs’, an interesting piece of industrial history, which stood close to the River Medlock, about half a mile from Park Bridge, Ashton under Lyne.
The structure was a Newcomen atmospheric engine - a very early steam engine. It was built in an area known as Fairbottom, possibly around 1760, to pump water out of the Cannel coal pits, which were about 200 feet deep. These were part of the Fairbottom group of coal mines (the Mary, Park, and possibly the Stubbs mine). Bobs was part of the Fairbottom group of mines which included Fairbottom / Bridge pit / Coperas House colliery (later Woodpark) and the Bardsley pit. All were coal mines in the middle coal measures, the only one to survive into the 20th century was Woodpark colliery which closed in 1957 and was 510 yards deep.
The ‘Bobs’ name arose from the bobbing motion of the wooden beam. Total output power from this engine was approximately 20 horsepower. The engine ran at an estimated 14 strokes per minute, had a bore of 28 inches, and a stroke of 72 inches. The water was pumped along a wooden trough to top up the level of the Fairbottom Branch Canal, 200 metres away at Fenny Fields Bridge.
The engine ceased to be used in 1834 and by the 1880s, had become a local curiosity, sometimes mistakenly called ‘Watt's First Engine’. After falling into a bad state of repair, it was bought by Henry Ford in 1929 and taken to America where it is now on display in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, alongside other machines which helped bring about change. .
Henry Ford compensated the locality for the loss of its famous relic by paying for the construction of a footbridge across the river.

Kecak is one of Balinese dances and considered the most popular performance. Created in 1930s and performed by many dancers, mostly male. Tens of bare-breasted men sit in a circle, around the flickering light of an oil lamp chandelier. They start dancing to the rhythmic sound of their own voices, who yell "cak" and raise their hands to the sky and bodies shaking in unison.
Kecak dance performances usually adopts the story of "Ramayana", the great epic of Hindu from India and was known since Treta Yuga [400 years before Christ]. The parts of the story setting is usually about the kidnapping of Princes Sita, until the killing of Meganada, Rahwana's son, in the battle.
Kecak dance also adopts the story of "Mahabharata" which the parts of the story setting is usually about the marriage of Arjuna with goddess Supraba in the Nirvana.
NT Chastleton House & Garden, Oxon 10/5/2015 SP248291
Chastleton House (/ˈtʃæsəltən.haʊs/) is a Jacobean country house situated at Chastleton near Moreton-in-Marsh, Oxfordshire, England (grid reference SP2429). It has been owned by the National Trust since 1991 and is a Grade I listed building.[1]

History[edit]
Chastleton House was built between 1607 and 1612, for Walter Jones, who had made his fortune from the law,[2] although his family were originally Welsh wool merchants. The estate was bought in 1604 from Robert Catesby, although his residence was demolished to make way for the new house and no traces of the original building on this spot remain. The house is built of Cotswold stone, round a small courtyard, called the Dairy Court.
External and internal features[edit]
Chastleton House is different from other houses of its type in several respects. It has never had a park with a long, landscaped approach such as many other houses of its era. Rather it was built within an existing settlement, Chastleton village, which provided many of the services for the house which would otherwise have been attached, such as a laundry, a fishpond and a bakehouse. Secondly, until its acquisition by the Trust in 1991, it was owned by the same family for nearly 400 years. Its treatment by the Trust was similarly unusual, with a policy of conservation rather than restoration, enabling visitors to see the house largely as it was when acquired.[3] As a result of the Trust's approach, a large number of the rooms in the house are open to the public.
Of particular note is the Long Gallery, with its barrel vaulted ceiling. No other gallery of such a length 72 feet (22 m) and date survive. Like much of the house, the Long Gallery ceiling has been subject to damage. The neglect of the roof for almost two centuries led to the failing of part of the plaster ceiling in the early 1800s, but it was not repaired until 1904-05, when two local men were engaged to make good the losses.[3]
Also of interest is the impressive Great Chamber. Designed for the entertainment of the most important guests and for the playing of music, the design scheme has its roots in Renaissance Italy and is the most impressive in the house. The setting out of the panelling shows some inspiration from the classical, as do the painted roundels around the frieze, depicting the twelve prophets of the Old Testament and the twelve Sybils or Prophetesses of Antiquity. Also in the Great Chamber are a set of Jacobite Fiat glasses engraved with the Jacobite emblems of roses, oakleaves, and a compass rose, which betray the families eighteenth-century sympathies. These probably belonged to Henry Jones IV, who was the president of the Gloucestershire Cycle Club, one of the oldest established Jacobite clubs.[4]
Other items of interest in the house include the Juxon Bible, which is said to have been used by the chaplain, Bishop Juxon, at the execution of Charles I. Juxon’s family lived locally in Long Compton until his family died out in the eighteenth century, when it is thought to have been given to John Jones II because the Jones’ were another family with Jacobite sympathies.[4]
In 1919 a number of significant tapestries were discovered at the house, and were interpreted as evidence for the establishment of a tapestry-weaving venture at the manor house of William Sheldon (d 1570) at Barcheston, near Shipston on Stour, Warwickshire.[5] One of these tapestries is currently on display in the Middle Chamber, and another is in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Chastleton Garden[edit]
The Grade II listed garden at Chastleton has undergone a number of revisions since the completion of the house in 1612. There is no archaeological evidence of a garden on this site before this date: indeed, the North Garden is split by an old field boundary.
There is no map or written evidence to suggest how the garden was laid out by Walter Jones in 1612, but the walls that enclose the garden are 17th century and archaeological evidence that suggests that the garden has been laid out the same way for the last 400 years. It is laid out according to the recommendation proposed by Gervase Markham in The English Husbandman (1613) [6] – a fore court to the front of the house, with the base (or bass) court on one side, which included the stables and other farm buildings. The other two sides of the house should be composed of gardens, divided into an orchard, a kitchen garden and a best (or pleasure) garden, planted with more ornamental plants[7]
At the time, the Forecourt at Chastleton described the entrance area below the House court (the area directly in front of the house). The House court was raised slightly above the forecourt by a small retaining wall, probably with a balustrade on top. There were likely to be few plants in the front of the house in the early 17th century, with the House Court possibly being paved or having two grass plats on each side of the central path like the Forecourt.[7]
To the east of this was the Pleasaunce or Pleasure Garden. This was the Best Garden, which was levelled, but with a viewing terrace along one side which also gave entrance to the church at the opposite end. The design of this garden is not known, but it was almost certainly surrounded by high walls with fruit trees trained against it. The Best Garden was laid out in the circular pattern we see today by Dorothy Whitmore Jones in 1833,[7] although it is suggested that there were already box plants there. Beds were added within the circular hedge in the 1890s or 1900s and then grassed over again by 1972. During the periods of time when money came into the family the planting in this garden was always renewed.
To the north are terraces, levelled from the sloping ground. There is evidence of a medieval cultivation terrace and the remnants of the old boundary wall of the garden. There was a Bowling Green on the Middle terrace and the third terrace may also have been the site of the original kitchen garden.[7]
Today, the middle terraces are the site of two croquet lawns, originally laid out by Walter Whitmore-Jones in the 1860s. His version of the rules of croquet published in The Field in 1865 became definitive, and Chastleton is considered the birthplace of croquet as a competitive sport[8][9]
The Kitchen Garden as it is now was enclosed in 1847 and was formed of the existent garden and from part of the adjoining field. It was laid out as four plots on one side of a broad path and two on the other side, and the kitchen garden today has been recently rejuvenated to form this pattern as well.
Film Location
Chastleton House was used as one of the locations for the 2015 BBC Two television series Wolf Hall and represented 'Wolf Hall' home of the Seymours.[10]
This is a photograph from the finish of second annual running of the Renault Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Thursday 17th March 2016 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photograph was taken in Mullingar Town Park at the 21KM mark approaching the finish. Following on from the incredible success of the inagural year of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015 to over 900 this year. As was the case last year the nominated charity was Childline. The roots of the success of the event last year was the perfect running weather, excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year. Incredibly the weather was almost a carbon copy of last year - cool, clear, still fresh Spring weather presenting runners with little or no wind. Participants traveled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race's early start time was to facilitate the annual St. Patrick's Day parade which brings a large number of local visitors to the town on an annual basis. Parking is free in Mullingar town for the entire day.
The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross the M4 at Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel which is the Race Headquarters. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.
Timing and event organisation was provided by Irish company MyRunResults. You can find all of the results of the race on their website at www.myrunresults.com

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
Brighamia insignis is an endangered plant that is endemic to sea cliffs on the Na’Pali Coast and Ha'upu Ridge on the island of Kauai. Overgrazing, human development, and competition from invasive weeds have reduced this species to only twenty individuals in four naturally occurring populations. The extinction of its pollinator, a sphingid moth, has made it all but impossible for Brighamia insignis to reproduce. Plant conservationists go to great lengths -rappelling over steep cliff edges - to exchange pollen among plants and to collect seeds that can be grown and stored in botanical gardens and seed banks. www.usbg.gov/plant-collections/conservation/Brighamia-ins...

Common Crane
The common crane (Grus grus), also known as the Eurasian crane, is a bird of the family Gruidae, the cranes.
A medium-sized species, it is the only crane commonly found in Europe besides the demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo). Along with the sandhill (Grus canadensis) and demoiselle cranes and the brolga (Grus rubicunda), it is one of only four crane species not currently classified as threatened with extinction or conservation dependent on the species level.
The common crane is a large, stately bird and a medium-sized crane. It is 100–130 cm (39–51 in) long with a 180–240 cm (71–94 in) wingspan. The body weight can range from 3 to 6.1 kg (6.6 to 13.4 lb), with the nominate subspecies averaging around 5.4 kg (12 lb) and the eastern subspecies (G. g. lilfordi) averaging 4.6 kg (10 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 50.7–60.8 cm (20.0–23.9 in) long, the tarsus is 20.1–25.2 cm (7.9–9.9 in) and the exposed culmen is 9.5–11.6 cm (3.7–4.6 in).
This species is slate-grey overall. The forehead and lores are blackish with a bare red crown and a white streak extending from behind the eyes to the upper back. The overall colour is darkest on the back and rump and palest on the breast and wings. The primaries, the tips of secondaries, the alula, the tip of the tail, and the edges of upper tail coverts are all black and the greater coverts droop into explosive plumes. This combination of colouration ultimately distinguishes it from similar species in Asia, like the hooded (G. monacha) and black-necked cranes (G. nigricollis). The juvenile has yellowish-brown tips to its body feathers and lacks the drooping wing feathers and the bright neck pattern of the adult, and has a fully feathered crown. Every two years, before migration, the adult common crane undergoes a complete moult, remaining flightless for six weeks, until the new feathers grow.
It has a loud trumpeting call, given in flight and display. The call is piercing and can be heard from a considerable distance. It has a dancing display, leaping with wings uplifted.
This species is found in the northern parts of Europe and Asia. Formerly the species was spread as far west as Ireland, but about 200 years ago, it became extinct there. However, it has since started to return to Ireland naturally and there are now plans to help it return to Ireland on a greater scale. The common crane is an uncommon breeder in southern Europe, smaller numbers breeding in Greece, former-Yugoslavia, Romania, Denmark and Germany. Larger breeding populations can be found in Scandinavia, especially Finland and Sweden. The heart of the breeding population for the species is in Russia, however, where possibly up to 100,000 cranes of this species can be found seasonally. In Russia, it is distributed as a breeder from the Ukraine region to the Chukchi Peninsula. The breeding population extends as far south as Manchuria but almost the entire Asian breeding population is restricted to Russia.
The species is a long distance migrant predominantly wintering in northern Africa. Autumn migration is from August to October and spring migration is in March through May. Important staging areas occur anywhere from Sweden and Germany to China (with a large one around the Caspian Sea) and many thousand cranes can be seen in one day in the Autumn. Some birds winter in southern Europe, including Portugal, Spain and France. Most eastern common cranes winter in the river valleys of Sudan, Ethiopia, Tunisia and Eritrea with smaller numbers in Turkey, northern Israel, Iraq and parts of Iran. The third major wintering region is in the northern half of Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan. Minimal wintering also occurs in Burma, Vietnam and Thailand. Lastly, they winter in eastern China, where they are often the most common crane (outnumbering black-necked cranes ten-to-one). Migrating flocks fly in a "V" formation.
It is a rare visitor to Japan and Korea, mostly blown over from the Chinese wintering population, and is a rare vagrant to western North America, where birds are occasionally seen with flocks of migrating sandhill cranes.
In Europe, the common crane predominantly breeds in boreal and taiga forest and mixed forests, from an elevation of sea-level to 2,200 m (7,200 ft). In northern climes, it breeds in treeless moors, on bogs, or on dwarf heather habitats, usually where small lakes or pools are also found. In Sweden, breeders are usually found in small, swampy openings amongst pine forests, while in Germany, marshy wetlands are used. Breeding habitat used in Russia are similar, though they can be found nesting in less likely habitat such as steppe and even semi-desert, so long as water is near. Primarily, the largest number of common cranes are found breeding in wooded swamps, bogs and wetlands and seem to require quiet, peaceful environs with minimal human interference. They occur at low density as breeders even where common, typically ranging from 1 to 5 pairs per 100 km2 (39 sq mi).
In winter, this species moves to flooded areas, shallow sheltered bays, and swampy meadows. During the flightless moulting period there is a need for shallow waters or high reed cover for concealment. Later, after the migration period, the birds winter regularly in open country, often on cultivated lands and sometimes also in savanna-like areas, for example on the Iberian Peninsula.
The global population is 600,000 (2014 estimate) with the vast majority nesting in Russia and Scandinavia. In some areas the breeding population appears to be increasing, such as in Sweden, whereas on the fringes of its range, it is often becoming rare to non-existent. In Great Britain, the common crane became extirpated in the 17th century, but a tiny population now breeds again in the Norfolk Broads and is slowly increasing and a reintroduction has been underway since 2010 for the Somerset levels. In Ireland, it died out as a breeding species in the 18th century, but a flock of about 30 appeared in County Cork in November 2011, and a smaller flock a year later. It was additionally extirpated as a breeder from Austria around 1900, from Hungary by 1952 and from Spain by 1954. The recovering German breeding population of 8,000 pairs is still also a fraction of the size of the large numbers that once bred in the country. Poland has 15,000 breeding pairs, 50 pairs breed in the Czech Republic and 2009 was the first confirmed breeding in Slovakia.
The main threat to the species, and the primary reason for its decline in the Western Palearctic, comes from habitat loss and degradation, as a result of dam construction, urbanisation, agricultural expansion, and drainage of wetlands. Although it has adapted to human settlement in many areas, nest disturbance, continuing changes in land use, and collision with utility lines are still potential problems. Further threats may include persecution due to crop damage, pesticide poisoning, egg collection, and hunting. The common crane is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
Ochsenfurt is a small medieval city in the district of Würzburg (Bavaria land) situated on the left bank of the River Main in the historical province of Franconia (Franken). The town has a centuries old history and many beautiful old buildings, some dating from the 12th century. The city is partly surrounded by walls. It was one of the places in Germany that King Richard I of England was detained in 1193 while returning to England from the Third Crusade, after having been captured shortly before Christmas 1192, near Vienna, by Leopold V of Austria, who accused him of arranging the murder of his cousin.
Although not much mentioned by the travel guides, Ochsenfurt is well worth at least a one day visit. The city is easily accessible by train from Würzburg: the trip takes less than half an hour.
Ochsenfurt este un orăşel medieval din districtul Würzburg (landul Bavaria), situat pe malul stâng al râului Main, în provincia istorică Franconia (Franken). Are o istorie seculară şi multe clădiri vechi frumoase, unele datând din secolul al XII-lea. Oraşul este parţial înconjurat de ziduri de apărare. Este unul din locurile din Germania unde a fost deţinut în 1193 regele Richard I al Angliei la întoarcerea din a Treia Cruciadă, după ce a fost capturat în 1192 cu puţin înainte de Crăciun, lângă Viena, de către Leopold al V-lea al Austriei care l-a acuzat că a organizat asasinarea vărului său.
Deşi nu prea este pomenit în ghidurile de călătorie, Ochsenfurt merită o vizită de măcar o zi. Se ajunge uşor cu trenul de la Würzburg: drumul durează mai puţin de o jumătate de oră.
Poiana Uzului is a large dam that has been constructed in the years 1967 - 1973 to provide water supply (drinking and industrial) for localities in the zone (Darmanesti, One,ti, Bacau). It is a buttress dam of 80 m height with a storage capacity of 90 Mil m3 and is equipped with a spillway with a capacity of 900 m3/s. Because of flood events in 1984 and immediately starting water infiltration the dam safety does not comply to national Romanian or international dam safety requirements. In particular, increasing
water infiltration in spite of different measures (drainage drillings and injections) has been observed which resulted in a lowering of the basin water level by 7 meters and in
additional observation measurements. From the view of dam safety the refurbishment of the dam and its equipment is generally necessary.
If an accident will occurs, the following consequences have to be considered:
- A high tide flow of 70,000 cu.m per second will affect about 25,000 inhabitants downstream;
- A number of about 450 households will also be affected;
- The production of 27 companies, including Darmanesti refinery, will be
affected;
This is some of the new residential development that is currently taking place at the Linton at Ballenger subdivision, in the Southern part of the Ballenger Creek area of Frederick County, Maryland, USA. The Ballenger Creek area of Frederick County, Maryland is located directly South of the City of Frederick, Maryland, and is in fact contiguous with the City of Frederick, meaning that there is no undeveloped land between the City of Frederick and the Ballenger Creek area, just like in a typical major American metropolitan area, between the main city and the immediate inner suburbs, such as, for example, between Washington, DC itself and Bethesda, Maryland. In this sense, Ballenger Creek is an inner suburb of Frederick City, Maryland, even though Frederick County, Maryland is, in turn, also, in a way, an outer suburb of Washington, DC. The Ballenger Creek area began development in the early 1980's, currently has a young, diverse, and relatively fast growing population of about 20,000 people, and is where many, but by no means all, of the large commercial office and retail developments in Frederick County are located. The City of Frederick, Maryland is the county seat and largest, principal city of Frederick County, Maryland, USA, located in the Central part of the county, and has a young and diverse population of about 66,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Frederick County, Maryland, USA is located two counties North of Washington, DC, and shares its opposite, Northern border with the neighboring Eastern U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Frederick County, Maryland is currently the eighth most populated of Maryland's 24 counties, with a current population of about 237,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population, due to both its location as an outer suburban commuting area for Washington, DC and its inner suburbs, as well as to its strong, growing economy in its own right. located in between Frederick County, Maryland and Washington, DC itself is the heavily populated Montgomery County, Maryland, with a diverse and relatively fast growing population of about 990,000 people, making it the most populated county in the U.S. state of Maryland, and the second most populated county in the vast Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, behind neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia, which in turn has an also diverse and relatively fast growing population of about 1.1 million people, and is the U.S. state of Virginia's most populated county, as well.

This is the last one I SWEAR. I only put this one up because my friend Ian told me to. It's his favorite out of all the series.
This is terribly difficult to photograph well. It needs to get "showy" or I'll grow something else. My beef is that once the top of the flower turns brown, it takes a month or so for the bloom to progress to the tip. They never look like long streaming flowers. Grumble.

śikhā is a long tuft, or lock of hair left on top or on the back of the shaven head of a male Orthodox Hindu.
Though traditionally all Hindus were required to wear a śikhā, today it is seen mainly among Brahmachari (celibate monks) and temple priests.
Unlike most other eastern cultures (including ancient Egypt) where a coming-of-age ceremony removed childhood locks of hair similar to the śikhā (e.g. a forelock or pigtails in China, a topknot in Thailand, a sidelock in Egypt etc.) in India this prepubescent hairstyle is left to grow throughout the man's life, though usually only the most orthodox religious men will continue this hairstyle.
The śikhā is tied back or knotted to perform religious rites. Only funerals and death anniversaries are performed with the śikhā untied or with dishevelled hair. Dishevelled hair is considered inauspicious, and represents times of great sorrow or calamity.
The śikhā reportedly signifies one-pointed (ekanta) focus on a spiritual goal, and It is also an indication of cleanliness. [1]
The tomb is very austere in appearance, is located at the intersection of the two arms of the L–shaped building which constitutes the madrasa. Entry to the tomb is through a passage in the south leading to the doorway. The passage wall is raised on a plinth which depicts the shape of a fourteen-faced polyhedron built in stones. Three horizontal units laid over eight vertical posts that are chamfered constitute the plinth. Squinches and muqarnas are seen in the solid interior walls of the tomb and these provide the basic support to the octagonal spherical dome of the tomb. The maximum height of the tomb is on its face overlooking the reservoir. The entrance hall has fifteen bays and terminates in another doorway which is identical to the gateway at the entrance. This second doorway leads to the tomb chamber and cenotaph, which are accessed from the gateway through the L–shaped corridor. The ceiling in the dome depicts a circular gold medallion with Quranic inscriptions in Naksh characters. Foliated crenellations are seen on the outer faces of the base of the tomb. Interesting features seen on the northern and southern sides of the tomb, considered typical of the Tuglaq period layout, are the ceremonial steps provided at the ground level that connect to the larger steps leading into the reservoir..
The tomb, a square chamber, is made of local quartzite rubble with a surface plaster finish that sparkled in white color when completed. The door, pillars and lintels were made of grey quartzites while red sandstone was used for carvings of the battlements. The door way depicts a blend of Indian and Islamic architecture. Another new feature not seen at any other monument in Delhi, built at the entrance to the tomb, is the stone railings. There are three graves inside the tomb, one is of Feruz Shah and two others are of his son and grandson..
.
The tomb was repaired during the reign of Sikandar Lodhi in 1507 AD, as is evidenced from an inscription on the entrance.

Whole shoot was very fast, at it's barely satisfactory, but due to time constraints this will have to do. Happy President's Day, Mr. Obama.
Somehow these Green Day lyrics came to me after staring at this shot for some time. Maybe because it was holiday, or maybe because we are about to understand what the Chinese mean when they use the curse "May you live in interesting times".

This is a photograph from the finish of the 36th Michael Manning Memorial "Dunshaughlin 10KM" Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 20th June 2015 at 19:30. This race is widely acknowledged within the Irish running community as one of the best races in Ireland. While being very well attended and competitive it is also one of the oldest 10KM races in Ireland. The numbers for this race have exceeded expectations year on year for the past number of years. In 2008 a record field of 306 took to the start line but by 2012 this number had more than doubled with 647 runners taking part. The starting numbers in 2013 topped this again at 668. Last year, 2014, the numbers rocketed to a new record of 883. This year 862 finished the race showing that the race continues to attract very substantial crowds. This year, as in previous years, the race attracted runners from not just all of Leinster but from the four corners of Ireland. Who knows but this race could reach 1,000 entrants next year? The work of the organising committee must be commended on making this event possible. The Dunshaughlin 10KM has earned it's place at the top of the pedestal of Irish running through the sheer hard work of Dunshaughlin AC over the years. Road race events do not survive on their own. There must be dedication, hard work and a development vision amongst the committee and the host club. Well done to all.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race tonight taken at the 9KM mark and at 400M to go. The full set is available at: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157654823417232

I want to download these pictures to my computer or device?
You can download this photographic image here directly to your computer or device. This version is the low resolution web-quality image. How to download will vary slight from device to device and from browser to browser. Have a look for a down-arrow symbol or the link to 'View/Download' all sizes. When you click on either of these you will be presented with the option to download the image. Remember just doing a right-click and "save target as" will not work on Flickr.
I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?
If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.
I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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

Buntzen Lake is a 4.8 kilometres long lake in Anmore, British Columbia, Canada, in the Greater Vancouver area. It is named after the first general manager of the B.C. Electric Co., Johannes Buntzen.
Area: 182 ha
Surface elevation: 123 m
Mean depth: 30 m
Inflow source: Coquitlam Lake
Province: British Columbia

The Buntzen Lake Recreation Area, located just north of Anmore and a 45 minute drive east of Vancouver, is a nature lover’s paradise. Buntzen Lake is flanked by Eagle Ridge/Mountain (1,240 m) to the east and Buntzen Ridge (560 m) to the west. Indian Arm Provincial Park and Belcarra Regional Park make up a large portion of the surrounding hiking trails, which are suited for all levels of experience and physical abilities.
Buntzen Lake, once named Trout Lake and later Lake Beautiful (by a group of hikers), was named Buntzen Lake in 1905 in honour of the first general manager of the BC Electric Railway Co., Johannes Buntzen. Buntzen Lake is an active hydroelectric reservoir that was once Vancouver’s main electricity source.
Today, the Buntzen Lake Power Plant produces less than 0.4% of the power produced by all BC Hydro generating facilities. However it has the distinction of being the first hydroelectric generating plant to supply the Lower Mainland of BC. In the early years it was considered to be an engineering marvel and after over 100 years – it still produces inexpensive power. In 1972, BC Hydro completed the formal development and beautification of the Buntzen Lake Reservoir Recreation Area.
