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. Or put in his own words: "we're based around giving local residents an opportunity to savour high quality of world cuisine without having to travel to the centre of London." 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.

Dr. Anurag Batra is a serial Entrepreneur and mentor to many successful entrepreneurs. He also an author, TV show host and an angel investor and the founder of the iconic exchange4media group and chairman BW Businessworld group. According to him, India needs more sportsmanship. As Indians we do not support failure, we only celebrate success and the beauty about sports is that it helps you celebrate failure.

 

Addressing India's sports Congress held 6 years ago, Anurag Batra the chairman of BW Businessworld stressed 2 things. One is the fact, that he believes that India has been media core. It’s a debatable topic and one can either agree or disagree with his statement. It’s because India does not have a sports culture. According to Anurag Batra, India’s media core is everything. India hasn’t produced a lifesaving drug or we haven’t done an invention that changes life. We are doing the Flipkart for the world which is great but they are cheap imitations of what happens in the West and he believes the reason we haven’t got a product or service that is world-class out of India, in the way Silicon Valley does it, is because we do not have a sports culture.

 

As Indians we do not support failure, we only celebrate success and the beauty about sports is that it helps you celebrate failure. Because there is nothing like a failure, there’s another game tomorrow. you can extend like that so there is no failure. He thinks sports as a culture glue, as a game-changer in the real sense of the nation’s destiny can play a big role. And he is particularly happy that BW has been doing conferences like this in exchange for media for the last 10 years and we’ve been talking about how non-cricket sports should come to the forefront. when this conference is conducted in the last 3 years, for the first time we can say that non-cricket sports are finally coming to the Fort. He means tomorrow we are the protesting league starting who imagine 5 years back there. Be it a pro wrestling league and you know every possible sport is getting more attention more money and more mind space which occurs well for this country.

 

Anurag Batra has 2 young children and if there is a choice on their career, he would want them to be sportspeople for the reason that I told him explained above. He also mentioned the event conducted by his team may act as a catalyst to the development of sports in the country.

 

Chairman of BW Businessworld Mr Anurag Batra believes India is struggling to get one of the top positions. Being a developing nation from more than 5 decades, India is still on the path of development. He concluded by saying we should worship sports as a religion, study as a science and play with enthusiasm as it accepts failures and encourages and inspires to win the next.

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.

I could sit there for hours, turning the crank, watching the "marbles" (ball bearings) race around the track.

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".

Randy Moss at the First Annual Links for Learning Tournament.

This is a photograph from the second annual running of the Killyon National School 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held at Hill-of-Down, Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland at 11:00 on Sunday 21st June 2015. The race is held as a fundraiser for the local primary school. Killyon is actually a parish rather than a town or village. With that the race started and finished at the well known Hill-of-Down where the Royal Canal and Dublin Sligo rail line run parallel and cross under the Kinnegad (Westmeath) to Trim (Meath) road. The 5KM route took in a final KM on the beautiful towpath of the Royal canal and finished outside Moran's Pub beside the Canal. Overall the race was very well organised with excellent stewarding and organisation. There was a great spread of refreshments afterwards and participants and families mingled and chatted beside the canal. The race took place on Father's Day and the Summer solstice making the day with the longest duration of day light. The race attracted very good local support from the surrounding areas with local runners, joggers and walkers in attendance.

  

We have an extensive set of photographs from the start and finish of the race at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157654448993629

  

Photographs from last year's (2014) race are also on our Flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644887755947

BUT..... Wait there a minute....

We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not charge for our photographs. Our only "cost" is that we request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, VK.com, Vine, Meetup, Tagged, Ask.fm,etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us or acknowledge us as the original photographers.

 

This also extends to the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.

 

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

 

This is a photograph from the 4th and final round of the 2015 Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 27th May 2015 at 20:00. The weather was perfect for running and racing again and gave bright sunshine with some breeze. The weather conditions were favourable for runners this evening. As this was the final night of a very successful league there were many category prizes up for grabs with runners having to ensure they ran their races to gain the required finish times for the overall calculations. There was a great atmosphere at the finish as spectators cheered on the runners. This year's 5KM is ran on a modified route based on the route from the last couple of years. The final 1KM is within the Belvedere Gardens bringing runners down to the lakeside for a second time and finishing along the aptly named Stream Of Life. The route modification means that the race offers a slightly faster route than the hill finish of previous years. In the prize giving and awards in Belvedere House Cafe there were refreshments served for runners and this brought the curtain down on the Road League for 2015.

The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Runners can also choose to just run one race without being considered for the overall league placings. Over 330 people took part in tonight's event bring the total from the four nights to so far to well over 1,400 runners. As with all of the previous weeks the new finish area provided a nice space for runners to stay around and chat in the evening sunshine. The Mullingar Road League 2015 is now over but has continued successfully and looks to add to the success in the history of this great series. Despite the bright evenings the photographic conditions in Belevedere are difficult so this photograph is part of a smaller than usual photograph set as there were many blurred photographs this evening.

The "Road League" is something of a misnomer but is an indication of the League's origins on the roads around Ladestown Mullingar prior to it's move into Belvedere in 2008. The Road League is the envy of many other races in the country as the Belvedere locations offers a completely traffic free 5KM route.

 

We have an extensive set of photographs from tonight in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157653157747838

 

Timing and event management was provided by Precision Timing. Results are available on their website at www.precisiontiming.net/result.aspx?v=2710 with additional material available on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/davidprecisiontiming?fref=ts) See their promotional video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-7_TUVwJ6Q

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

Leipzig is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. It lies at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the southerly end of the North German Plain.

 

Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. The city sits at the intersection of the Via Regia and Via Imperii, two important Medieval trade routes. Leipzig was once one of the major European centres of learning and culture in fields such as music and publishing. Leipzig became a major urban centre within the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) after World War II, but its cultural and economic importance declined despite East Germany being the richest economy in the Soviet Bloc.

 

Leipzig later played a significant role in instigating the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, through events, which took place in and around St. Nicholas Church. Since the reunification of Germany, Leipzig has undergone significant change with the restoration of some historical buildings, the demolition of others, and the development of a modern transport infrastructure. Leipzig today is an economic centre and the city in Germany with the highest quality of life, according to the GfK marketing research institution. Oper Leipzig is one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany.

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]

... to try to drink from this fountain.

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.

 

This is Mark (the title is Marlon because that's what he's often called. Why? no idea). I'm really pleased with this for numerous reasons, where to start...

Well it's my first real attempt at an intentional portrait and I think it went alright, candid portraitures tell you to keep your subjects relaxed, help them forget you're there, so I told him I was doing some funky shit with the window; sorted!

Secondly, it includes some of the things that one would associate with Mark: the Cider bottle on the window ledge, sat on my bed playing the xbox, his position etc...

 

Those that know him are aware that he's not a great lover of movement, which brings me to the third and final reason I really like this photograph: It's a thirty second exposure.

'nuff said.

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.

Dimmuborgir is a large area of unusually shaped lava fields east of Mývatn in Iceland. The Dimmuborgir area is composed of various volcanic caves and rock formations, reminiscent of an ancient collapsed citadel (hence the name). The dramatic structures are one of Iceland's most popular natural tourist attractions.

The collapsed lava tube was formed by a lava lake flowing in from a large eruption in the Þrengslaborgir and Lúdentsborgir crater row to the East, about 2300 years ago. At Dimmuborgir, the lava pooled over a small lake. As the lava flowed across the wet sod, the water of the marsh started to boil, the vapour rising through the lava forming lava pillars from drainpipe size up to several meters in diameter. As the lava continued flowing towards lower ground in the Mývatn area, the top crust collapsed, but the hollow pillars of solidified lava remained. The lava lake must have been at least 10 meters deep, as estimated by the tallest structures still standing.

The lava flow surface remains partly intact around the Dimmuborgir area, so that the Dimmuborgir itself sits below the surrounding surface area. The area is characterised by large hollow cell- or chamber-like structures formed around bubbles of vapour, and some dramatically standing lava pillars. Several of the chambers and pillar bases are large enough to house humans, giving rise to the term "castles" (borgir).

In Icelandic folklore, Dimmuborgir is said to connect earth with the infernal regions. In Nordic Christian lore, it is also said that Dimmuborgir is the place where Satan landed when he was cast from the heavens.

 

This is a photograph from the Father Murphy AC 5 Mile Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday 20th April at 12 noon.

This is the fourth successive year when the race has been staged in Kildalkey with races previous to 2011 held in the neighbouring parish village of Ballivor. The routing is a modification on the two previous years. This race combined an open 5 mile race and the annual Meath 5 mile road race championship.

 

The weather was almost perfect, if a little breezy, for almost 200 runners, joggers, and walkers participating in the event. There were some great post-race refreshments available for competitors in the Kildalkey Community Center afterwards. Well done to everyone involved - from the members of Fr. Murphy AC, to the neighbouring clubs in Co. Meath - all of whom helped to continue to fine tradition that this race has built up over the past number of years. Fr. Murphy AC was formed in 1970 from the amalgamation of several smaller local clubs and now offers some very fine facilities to the people of this part of Co. Meath.

 

This photograph is part of a larger set taken mostly at the 1 mile mark and at about 1 mile to go in the race. The full set is available at: [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644175251925/]

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.

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.

This is a photograph from from the Naomh Mhuire AC Daingean 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held in Daingean, Co. Offaly Ireland on Sunday 26th June 2016 at 12:00. The race started and finished close to Daingean village in the GAA club grounds and took a right handed loop out towards Tullamore and back in country roads to the main street and back to the finish. The course could be described as mostly flat and fast however the final 400m sees a reasonably significant climb up to the finish in the GAA grounds.

This race is race number 4 of the Offaly Race Series 2016 which sees seven 5KM road races being held over the summer in County Offaly hosted by Offaly-based athletics clubs.

The Naomh Mhuire AC members and helpers put on a great race - well organised, well stewarded, accurate course etc. There was also a very big spread of refreshments after the race in the tent beside the GAA club building.

The race was event managed and timed by MyRunResults.comOur full set of photographs from this race are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157670171879676

..is constantly judging you.

Southwell Minster is a remarkably preserved piece of Romanesque church architecture, dating from between 1108-50. The only English church to retain its full set of three complete Norman towers, the nave and transepts retain their original 12th century appearance, whilst the eastern limb was replaced by the present early Gothic choir in c1230 after its Norman predecessor was found to be too small. The last substantial addition to the building was the fine Decorated chapter house on the north side a few decades later in 1284.

 

The Minster was originally built as a collegiate church but stripped of this status at the Reformation, becoming merely a parish church (albeit one of the grandest in the country) for several centuries until finally being elevated to cathedral status in 1884 as the seat of the new Nottinghamshire diocese. Though on a more modest scale than most of our great medieval cathedrals, Southwell Minster fits its cathedral status so well that it is hard to imagine it not being built as such, though Southwell itself does seem a surprisingly quiet location for so grand a church, a small rural town that has become England's smallest cathedral city.

 

Inside the Norman character of the church is preserved in the subdued lighting of the 12th century nave and transepts, whilst east of the crossing, beyond the fine medieval choir screen, all is Gothic in the 13th century choir and aisles, light, airy and lit by tall lancet windows.

 

Perhaps the most famous part of the building is the octagonal chapter house entered from the north choir aisle via a vestibule. Whilst a gem of medieval architecture in its own right, the building is most renowned for its superb foliate carvings, the finest and most delicately carved to survive from medieval England The technical skill and unusually naturalistic treatment of the carved capitals and spandrels here means the 'Leaves of Southwell' should not be missed by any visitor.

 

Little remains of the Minster's original furnishing or decoration, following Civil War damage and a major fire caused by lightning strike in the early 18th century (which affected the high wooden ceilings of nave and crossing and the pyramid spires of the west towers, later replaced to their original design). It has however been embellished in more recent years with some outstanding glass including the huge west window installed at the end of the 20th century.

 

Southwell Minster is a delight to visit, and perhaps the most peaceful of all English cathedrals. For more see the link below:-

This is one of the many tugboats in service at the canal.

 

The Pacific Ocean is on the west side, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east side of the Americas. However, Panama, located in the Central America isthmus, is a long and narrow country with its long axis running from west to east. Our transit of the Panama Canal is from the Pacific Ocean in the south, and goes northwest to the Caribbean Sea (Atlantic Ocean) in the north.

 

France began work on the canal in 1881, but had to stop because of engineering problems and high mortality due to disease. The United States took over the project in 1904, and took a decade to complete the canal, which was officially opened on August 15, 1914. The Panama Canal greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan.

 

The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for handover to Panama. After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government in 1999, and is now managed and operated by the Panama Canal Authority, a Panamanian government agency.

 

This is one of my favorite shots from my last engagement session. The water splashing on the rocks caught me by surprise a couple times. My camera got pretty wet but didn't damage it, fortunately.

 

Angera is a town and comune located in the province of Varese, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. In Roman times, it was an important lake port and road station. Formerly known as Anghiera, Angera received the title of city from Duke Ludovico il Moro in 1497. The town is situated on the eastern shore of Lago Maggiore.

 

The earliest known inhabitants of the area were hunter-gatherers who made use of the cave known as the Wolf's Den (Tana del Lupo), at the foot of the cliffs. By the Roman era, Angera (then known as Statio, a place for changing horses) was an important lakeside port on a trading route, but by the fourth century it was in decline, and in 411 it was destroyed, along with Milan, by the Visigoths. By the eleventh century, the area had passed into the ownership of the Archbishops of Milan, and the first castle was built on a strategic site above the town. The district came under the rule of the House of Visconti in the thirteenth century, and in 1449, it was sold to the Borromeo family. It received the title of city from Duke Ludovico il Moro in 1497. Later the town was under Spanish rule for two centuries, followed by Austrian rule which lasted until 1861. By the year 1580, the city name was listed as Anghiera on the Vatican Gallery of Maps.

 

In 1776, the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta first discovered methane in the marshlands of Angera while on his summer holidays. He succeeded in isolating the gas, which he called inflammable air from marshlands, in 1778. It was what we nowadays call methane.

For Christians, Pentecost is a holiday on which we commemorate the coming of the Holy Spirit on the early followers of Jesus. Before the events of the first Pentecost, which came a few weeks after Jesus’ death and resurrection, there were followers of Jesus, but no movement that could be meaningfully called “the church.” Thus, from an historical point of view, Pentecost is the day on which the church was started. This is also true from a spiritual perspective, since the Spirit brings the church into existence and enlivens it. Thus Pentecost is the church’s birthday.

 

The English word “Pentecost” is a transliteration of the Greek word pentekostos, which means “fifty.” It comes from the ancient Christian expression pentekoste hemera, which means “fiftieth day.”

The Metamorphoses is the only Latin novel that has survived in its entirety. It is an imaginative, irreverent, and amusing work that relates the ludicrous adventures of one Lucius, who experiments in magic and is accidentally turned into an ass. In this guise he hears and sees many unusual things, until escaping from his predicament in a rather unexpected way. Within this frame story are found multiple digressions, the longest among them being the well-known tale of Cupid and Psyche.

 

The Metamorphoses ends with the (once again human) hero, Lucius, eager to be initiated into the mystery cult of Isis; he abstains from forbidden foods, bathes and purifies himself. Then the secrets of the cult's books are explained to him, and further secrets revealed before going through the process of initiation which involves a trial by the elements in a journey to the underworld. Lucius is then asked to seek initiation into the cult of Osiris in Rome, and eventually is initiated into the pastophoroi—a group of priests that serves Isis and Osiris.

Indiana was the first state to pass a compulsory sterilization law. Dr. Harry Sharpe perfected and performed vasectomies at the Indiana State Reformatory. Even before the 1907 law, Dr. Sharpe had been conducting illegal sterilizations at the Reformatory. People with mental disabilities, including developmental or insanity, who were confined to institutions were subjected to the procedure.

  

This is a luxury bike rack in Wolfheze in the Netherlands. It is situated at a carpool lot.

 

It is meant to stimulate people from the nearby village to take their bicycle to the carpool transfer location, before they step into their friends car.

 

It has bike racks, two benches for waiting guests, and a roof against rain and snow. Beautifully laid out and well maintained.

 

It is rather new, just a few people use it, but it is good and brave that the provincial authority makes a statement in favour of sustainable transport and cyclists. I hope this statement leads to more and "as a matter of course" use of these facilities.

Is coming, when Daffs are £1.00 a bunch in the supermarket.
