This is Lijiang's Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site. there are tons of alleyways like this one that criss cross the Old City that are lined with vendors selling all kinds of stuff. except, they all sell the same stuff, which gives you an advantage in bargaining because you can use the walk away method, or the "the other guy gave me this price" method. except it doesn't matter, because they'll all end up ripping you off in the end. my guess is, on every item we bought anywhere in china that didn't have fixed price, we paid on average at least twice what a chinese person would pay. it's called the "foreigner tax", or as I call it, "the whitey tax".
anyway, I found the Old City to be neat the first day, but after that we'd pretty much seen it all. but there were some nice places to eat, like the one this picture is taken from, with some really good food. and I loved the guesthouse we stayed at, so all around I'd say I enjoyed the Old City.
Caesarea is a town in Israel located mid-way between Tel Aviv and Haifa, on the Israeli coastal plain near the city of Hadera.
The town was built by Herod the Great about 25–13 BC as the port city Caesarea Maritima. It served as an administrative centre of Judaea Province of the Roman Empire, and later the capital of the Byzantine Palaestina Prima province during the classic period. Following the Muslim conquest in the 7th century, the city had an Arab majority until Crusader renovation, but was again abandoned after the Mamluk conquest. It was populated in 1884 by Bosniak immigrants, who settled in a small fishing village. In 1940, kibbutz Sdot Yam was established next to the village. In February 1948 the village was conquered by a Palmach unit commanded by Yitzhak Rabin, its people already having fled following an attack by the Stern Gang. In 1952, a Jewish town of Caesarea was established near the ruins of the old city, which were made into the national park of Caesarea Maritima.
Genoa is the capital of Liguria and the sixth largest city in Italy, with a population of 604,848 within its administrative limits on a land area of 243.6 km2 (94 sq mi). The urban zone of Genoa extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of 718,896. The urban area of Genoa has a population of 800,709. Over 1.5 million people live in the metropolitan area. Genoa is one of Europe's largest cities on the Mediterranean Sea and the largest seaport in Italy.
Genoa has been nicknamed la Superba ("the Superb one") due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Part of the old town of Genoa was inscribed on the World Heritage List (UNESCO) in 2006 (see below). The city's rich art, music, gastronomy, architecture and history allowed it to become the 2004 European Capital of Culture. It is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus.
Genoa, which forms the southern corner of the Milan-Turin-Genoa industrial triangle of north-west Italy, is one of the country’s major economic centres. The city has hosted massive shipyards and steelworks since the 19th century, and its solid financial sector dates back to the Middle Ages. The Bank of Saint George, founded in 1407, is among the oldest in the world and has played an important role in the city’s prosperity since the middle of the 15th century.

This is a highly detailed, original watercolor painting of the 1982 Washington Redskins uniform. It was created as part of a collection of 16 pieces of original art celebrating the history of the uniforms of the NFL's Washington Redskins franchise (originally the Boston Braves, then the Boston Redskins). This original painting, and more than 1500 other NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAA football and CFL uniform paintings, is available for sale at our Heritage Sports Art website.
To get a good understanding of the art, the history behind this whole project and what the art looks like when it's framed, please check out our Washington Redskins Artwork YouTube video.
You can also read several Washington Redskins history posts at our Heritage Jerseys and Uniforms blog including a history of every home stadium the Redskins have ever played in - and also several hundred other NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAA football and CFL posts too.
(IMG_7469) I'm pretty sure they were brothers, but it is hard to read. Anthany is spelled differently on the stone than one usually sees it. I don't know if it should be Anthony, or if his family spelled it Anthany. Someone wrote to me on September 7, 2010 and mentioned the little footstone that says L. M. and thought that might have been their mother, Livina Moore. I did a close up of just the L. M. foot stone, and posted it on FaG on Livina Moore's memorial page. In another part of the cemetery, there is a Lavinia Thurman. I wonder if she remarried. There are so many misspelling and mistranscriptions in this cemetery, Lavinia for Livina would not be a big stretch.
Nördlingen is a town in the Donau-Ries district, in Bavaria, Germany, with a population of approximately 24,000. It was first mentioned in recorded history in 898 and in 1998 the town celebrated its 1100th Anniversary. The town was also the location of two battles during the Thirty Years' War, a war which took place between 1618–1648. Today it is one of only three towns in Germany that still has a completely established city wall, the other two being Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Dinkelsbühl.Another attraction in the town is the Saint Georg's Church's 90 m steeple, called "Daniel", which is made of a suevite impact breccia that contains shocked quartz. Other notable buildings are the town hall (which dates to the 13th century), St. Salvator church and the Spital, a former medieval hospital. The Ries crater museum is located in the well-preserved medieval tanner's quarter.The city is home to several other museums, such as the Bavarian Railway Museum, the Nördlingen city museum (Stadtmuseum), the city wall museum (Stadtmauermuseum) and Augenblick museum with panoramas, magic lanterns, silent films, barrel organs, pianolas, music boxes and gramophones.Nördlingen is also known for the Scharlachrennen, a horse riding tournament that was first mentioned in 1463.(further informations about this remarkable town is to be found in WIKIPEDIA)
This is a Fennec Fox. According to David Attenborough and Living Planet's Baking Deserts, it is found in the Sahara of North Africa. So why do we think it is inspirational?
Firstly, because it has great dual-purpose ears that have excellent hearing (it can hear its prey moving underground) as well as a cooling system for the extreme heat. Secondly, they can live without free water which means they can take in water from the food they eat. And thirdly, they have furry boot feet that protect their soles from the hot desert sand.
And lastly, they like to party hard and socialise. Oh, and they're also the national animal of Algeria.
Whilst the Fennec Fox is a bit of a cutie, The Living Planet has much to be praised for. As part of the nine Life Series, they explore the planet in ways that no one has done before. Fascinating, beautiful and often brutal.

Makkah Masjid (Arabic: and Urdu: مکہ مسجد, Telugu: మక్కా మసీదు) is one of the oldest mosques in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, And it is one of the largest Mosques in India. Makkah Masjid is a listed heritage building in the old city of Hyderabad, close to the historic landmarks of Chowmahalla Palace, Laad Bazaar, and Charminar.
Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, commissioned bricks to be made from the soil brought from Mecca, the holiest site of Islam, and used them in the construction of the central arch of the mosque, thus giving the mosque its name. It formed the centerpiece around which the city was planned by Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah
Makkah Masjid was built during the reign of Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the 6th Qutb Shahi Sultan of Golconda (now Hyderabad). The three arched facades have been carved from a single piece of granite, which took five years to quarry. More than 8,000 workers were employed to build the mosque. Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah personally laid the foundation stone. The construction was later completed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb after conquering Hyderabad.
Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, the French explorer, in his travelogue observed;
"It is about 50 years since they began to build a splendid pagoda in the town which will be the grandest in all India when it is completed. The size of the stone is the subject of special accomplishment, and that of a niche, which is its place for prayer, is an entire rock of such enormous size that they spent five years in quarrying it, and 500 to 600 men were employed continually on its work. It required still more time to roll it up on to conveyance by which they brought it to the pagoda; and they took 1400 oxen to draw it.
Architecture and design
The main hall of the mosque is 75 feet high, 220 feet wide and 180 feet long, enough to accommodate 10,000 worshipers at a time. Fifteen arches support the roof of the main hall, five on each of the three sides. A wall rises on the fourth side to provide Mihrab.
At the peak of the minarets flanking the mosque is an arched gallery, and above that a smallish dome and a spire. Inscriptions from the Qur'an adorn many of the arches and doors. The main structure of the mosque is sandwiched between two massive octagonal columns made out of a single piece of granite. The cornices running around the entire mosque structure and the floral motifs and friezes over the arches remind the tourist of the great attention paid to detail in Qutub Shahi architecture. They have a close resemblance to the arches at Charminar and Golkonda Fort.
On the four sides of the roof on the main mosque, the ramparts are made of granite planks in the shape of inverted conches perched on pedestals. From the cornice of the mosque, its minarets are not as high as the minarets on the mazaar (Nizams tombs) haven from their cornice. The octagonal columns have arched balconies on level with the roof of the mosque with an awning for a canopy, above which the column continues upwards till it is crowned by a dome and spire.
[edit]Tombs
The entrance courtyard of the mosque, a rectangular, arched and canopied building houses the marble graves of Asaf Jahi rulers. This structure came up during the rule of the Asaf Jah rulers. It contains the tombs of the Nizams and their family.
At both ends of this resting place for the Asaf Jahs and very much a part of it, are two rectangular blocks with four minarets each. These minarets have elegant and circular balconies with low ornamental walls and arches. Above them is an octagonal inverted platter from which the rest of the minaret soars till it is arrested by a dome and a spire.
This is my 21st Century re-interpretation of Percy Bysshe Shelley's wonderful poem 'Ozymandias' and depicts my vision of how such a monument might look commemorating a latter day day Ozymandias. It is based on a photograpah the 'Big Head' sculpture (which is also a six story building) in Nice on the French Riviera.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled hp and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
.And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my works. Ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
As in the original poem this depicts a monumental human form abandoned long after the civilization which created it has disappeared and turned to dust by the passage of time and history. The statue is now merely a monument to one individual's hubris, and as in the poem it is also a statement about the insignificance of even powerful human beings over the passage of time.
The continuing popularity in Shelley's poem also demonstrates the fact that great art long outlasts the legacies of power.
Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to tie the Darari Obi. I'm sending this to you because I left the kimono mock up with Julianne to rehearse in. I don't know if she'll actually need to tie the obi for rehearsal, but I wanted to make sure you had the option. Here are some other videos to help with putting the kimono on.
Here is the link to the original photo of the tutorial if you're finding this hard to read. You'll need to click "download image" on the right hand side. It should be just bellow the button that says "add to favorites." yuna19.deviantart.com/art/Darari-Obi-tutorial-32519522
This one shows how to put the kimono on. The main thing here is it shows how to adjust the length of the kimono so that it doesn't drag on the ground. For the wedding kimono we'll use the full length with the train, but for the less formal kimono we'll want to shorten it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXb3EiM0Bhs&feature=youtube_g...
This shows how to tie the Obi Age (the padded piece that helps shape the obi in the back):
Here is everyone that I managed to capture - some slipped through! Feel free to add notes of who is who.

Arnara is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Frosinone in the Italian region Lazio, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) southeast of Rome and about 6 kilometres (4 mi) southeast of Frosinone.Arnara borders the following municipalities: Ceccano, Frosinone, Pofi, Ripi, Torrice.The standstone hill overlooking the Sacco valley on which Arnara rests seems to have given origin to the name of this small town, which in Roman times was a quarry from which was exctracted porous rock or tufa for building purposes. During the war against the Papacy for the conquest of the Roman Duchy, the Longobard King Astolfo took possession of Arnara for its excellent strategical and defensive position in his effort to control the Via Latina, the ancient artery which connected central Italy with southern Italy. Astolfo was responsible for the construction of the so called "Torre longobarda" in 756 A.D.Over the remains of this tower there was subsequently built a 11th century castle followed by a series of square turrets (ca 15th cent.) of which only one remains (the others having been incorporated within successive building projects). Only one circular shaped turret was built and is still visible today. In 1167 the town was invaded and destroyed by Normans; subsequently, Arnara belonged to the earldom of the Counts of Ceccano until 1450, the town then passed over to the Colonna, the feudal princes of Salerno, vassals of the Holy See. Thanks to its favourable geographical position, Arnara’s territory is rich with vineyards (Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Malvasia, Maturano, Pamparano and Moscato). Arnara’s wine is available in most outlets and restaurants as "vino della casa" (house wine).
Arnara è un comune italiano di 2.395 abitanti della provincia di Frosinone nel Lazio.Arnara sorge a 250 m.s.lm., sui bassi rilievi collinari della Valle del Sacco,ultime propaggini degli Ernici. Nel territorio comunale scorre il Fosso d'Arnara, un piccolo fiume affluente da sinistra del fiume Sacco, e il più meridionale Fosso Meringo, anch'esso piccolo affluente di sinistra del Sacco.Il paese, posto al culmine di una collina a circa 270 metri di altitudine, sulla sinistra del fiume Sacco, sorge attorno al castello di origine medievale nato sui resti di una Torre fatta erigere dal re longobardo Astolfo per contrastare le truppe pontificie. .Appartenne alla potente famiglia dei Conti di Ceccano e fu attaccato nel 1121 da Papa Callisto II°, che voleva punire la famiglia per la loro appartenenza al partito dell’Imperatore. .Nel XV° secolo passò alla famiglia Colonna, che lo tenne fino a quando vennero abolite le proprietà feudali in Italia. .Arnara, per la sua posizione panoramica sulla Valle del Sacco, ebbe sempre un ruolo militare importante nel complesso sistema difensivo delle famiglie feudali che si contendevano il territorio del basso Lazio..

I'm increasingly being drawn to eyes. Renado works in an outside coffee shop at Camden Lock and has wonderful blue eyes. When I looked at the picture on my computer screen I decided that it was better in B&W but I couldn't let the eye colour go completely so settled for a bit of desaturation.
Renado is from Latvia and has been in the UK for about two years. He wants to travel to Africa but is waiting to save for a 'professional camera'.
We had quite a long chat before a customer arrived so I had to let him get on with it and he told me that he doesn't actually drink coffee but prefers tea. As a fan of good coffee I found that hard to bare but since he'd just helped me out with a good picture for my project I chose not to take him to task on that.
Thanks Renado, I hope you raise the cash for a good camera soon and I hope your travels come about quickly but don't end too soon.
In the comments I've posted a Black & White and a Colour version of this picture. Please tell me which version you prefer.
Bakewell is the only market town within the Peak District National Park boundary.
Its attractive courtyards, independent shops, cafés and its scenic location on the River Wye (about thirteen miles southwest of Sheffield) make it a hugely popular destination for Peak District tourists.
Bakewell is best known for a confection made by mistake. In the 19th century, a cook at the Rutland Arms was baking a jam tart, but misunderstood the recipe, and so Bakewell Pudding was created. Now, almost every visitor to the town samples this culinary delight.

Old House Museum
A typical 16th-century yeoman's house that now houses a museum.
The museum tells the story of the house as well as the lives of people from Bakewell and this part of the Peak District.
The house was originally owned by the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield, and was built as a tithe collector's dwelling.
Built in 1534, extended in 1549, reflecting the growing prosperity from tithe collecting.

Difficult to photograph due to the rooms being small and packed with interesting exhibits. My pics were taken to record my visit rather than as an attempt to showcase my photographic prowess.
Albi Cathedral is one of the most unique, awe-inspiring churches ever concieved, quite simply one of the wonders of the medieval world.
Although contemporary with the great gothic cathedrals of Northern France, this largely 13th century structure is radically different, being constructed almost entirely of brick and built like a mighty fortress; mostly unadorned walls rise uninterrupted from the ground like sheer cliff-faces of brick. The simplicity of the design gives it an almost modern appearance, and the massive scale gives it a quite overpowering presence.
The cathedral's powerful fortified appearance is largely down to two factors, the shape of the building is consistent with local forms of gothic churches in southern France and northern Spain, whilst thr fortified solidity can be associated with the supression of the Cathars in this area during the Albigensian Crusades, the building serving a lesson in strength and permanence as a warning to any rebellious locals.
The plain exterior was relieved in the more stable climate of the 16th century by the huge flamboyant porch on the south side of the nave, more like an enormous spikey canopy open on three sides. It remains the main entrance to the cathedral, the base of the enormous tower being so massively constructed as to leave no room for a traditional west entrance.
On entering this vast edifice one's senses are overwhelmed yet again, this time by the profusion of decoration in the cavernous interior. The walls and ceilings are entirely covered by frescoes dating from the early 16th century (mostly in Renaissance style, much of it colourful geometric patterns. The most memorable sections are the earliest frescoes at the west end from an enormous Last Judgement; the central section was sadly removed in the 18th century but the extensive and graphic depiction of the torments of Hell remains.
In addition this cathedral is rare in preserving it's 'jube' or choir screen), a late medieval masterpiece of decoration an sculpture which extends into a lavishly sculpted choir enclosure adorned with a riot of angels and saints.
All in all this unforgettable cathedral is a monument that defies description alone and bombards the senses!
Beijing, formerly romanized as Peking, is the capital of the People's Republic of China, the world's third most populous city proper, and most populous capital city. The city, located in northern China, is governed as a municipality under the direct administration of the central government with 16 urban, suburban, and rural districts. Beijing Municipality is surrounded by Hebei Province with the exception of neighboring Tianjin Municipality to the southeast; together, the three divisions form the Jingjinji metropolitan region and the national capital region of China.
Beijing is an important world capital and global power city, and one of the world's leading centers for politics, economy and business, finance, education, culture, innovation and technology, architecture, language, and diplomacy. A megacity, Beijing is the second largest Chinese city by urban population after Shanghai and is the nation's political, cultural, and educational center. It is home to the headquarters of most of China's largest state-owned companies and houses the largest number of Fortune Global 500 companies in the world, as well as the world's four biggest financial institutions. It is also a major hub for the national highway, expressway, railway, and high-speed rail networks. The Beijing Capital International Airport has been the second busiest in the world by passenger traffic since 2010, and, as of 2016, the city's subway network is the busiest and second longest in the world.
Combining both modern and traditional architecture, Beijing is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history dating back three millennia. As the last of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China, Beijing has been the political center of the country for most of the past eight centuries, and was the largest city in the world by population for much of the second millennium A.D. Encyclopædia Britannica notes that "few cities in the world have served for so long as the political headquarters and cultural center of an area as immense as China." With mountains surrounding the inland city on three sides, in addition to the old inner and outer city walls, Beijing was strategically poised and developed to be the residence of the emperor and thus was the perfect location for the imperial capital. The city is renowned for its opulent palaces, temples, parks, gardens, tombs, walls and gates. It has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Ming Tombs, Zhoukoudian, and parts of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal— all tourist locations. Siheyuans, the city's traditional housing style, and hutongs, the narrow alleys between siheyuans, are major tourist attractions and are common in urban Beijing.
Many of Beijing's 91 universities consistently rank among the best in China, such as the Peking University and Tsinghua University. Beijing CBD is a center for Beijing's economic expansion, with the ongoing or recently completed construction of multiple skyscrapers. Beijing's Zhongguancun area is known as China's Silicon Valley and a center of innovation and technology entrepreneurship.
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

Is anyone else have trouble searching on Flickr? I search something and it comes up with no photos..
This is a friends NP Z-8 which started out as a Key Models import from Korea, made by Samhongsa. He purchased the remains of this model, the boiler and tender, but it was missing the complete running gear. He asked me to piece it back together, and he located a mechanism from an older D&RGW L-105 Max Gray. He sent me the pieces and these pictures are what I was able to make out of them. It's a bit of a Frankenstein, but, if it had a professional paint job, it could pass for the NP model even though there are some slight differences in some of the running gear details. I thought it came out pretty good, considering the starting point.
This is my kid's outfit after he did his thing.
This just in, for Halloween!

I have a seasonal blog entry I'd like to call your attention to. It's called "Fear of Fright Night and is available at the following URL: doctornoemedia.blogspot.com/2007/10/from-hell.html

The image above is a 2000 X 1250 pixel scan from an original slide. Anything that is not from an original Kodachrome™ is noted as such, including later digital images and a limited number of scanned prints. The vast majority of Kodachrome™ shots were scanned during the period 2007-2014. As of 2022, there remains thousands of scanned, and unscanned images yet to go.
Early uploads were done in a 1024 X 683 pixel size. Since then, technology and software has improved, so I am beginning to re-upload in the much larger 2000 X 1250 pixel size, with the eventual goal of having only that format.
The images in the various galleries come mostly from my slide collection, gathered over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and others acquired over those years through trading, purchasing, and attending conventions.
This photostream was created in 2017 for the sole purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, and has had over 10 million image views (to 2022)

Get a fresh take on new homes, apartments, neighborhoods and the way life’s lived in Chicago at YoChicago.
Leilani is grounded, so today I made her suffer through taking some pictures. lol She had fun, but she is 5 and got bored fast. lol
I just can't believe how pretty she is. My goodness. She is going to break a lot of hearts.
Oh and that bench there. FREE. The hotel that I work at is doing renovations and getting rid of a bunch of old stuff. This bench was really ugly, but I refurbished it and now it's AMAZE-BALLS!
The Lighthouse in Glasgow is Scotland's Centre for Design and Architecture. It was opened as part of Glasgow's status as UK City of Architecture and Design in 1999.
The Lighthouse is the renamed conversion of the former offices of the Glasgow Herald newspaper. Completed in 1895, it was designed by the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The centre's vision is to develop the links between design, architecture, and the creative industries, seeing these as interconnected social, educational, economic and cultural issues of concern to everyone.
The Lighthouse Trust went into Administration in August 2009. At its peak the Lighthouse Trust employed around 90 staff. Its Directors moved on: Nick Barley is now Director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Following a substantial redundancy programme the remaining staff were transferred to Architecture and Design Scotland (A+DS) and Glasgow City Council (GCC). The Lighthouse building remains in the ownership of Glasgow City Council, which has made financial provision to meet the costs of operating the Centre, re-establishing it as Scotland's National Centre for Architecture and Design.
A Steering Group - made up of representatives of Glasgow City Council, Glasgow School Of Art, Scottish Enterprise, Creative Scotland, and various independent architects and designers - has now implemented a range of permanent and temporary uses within the building including a conference/events programme, catering facilities, temporary and permanent exhibitions, a limited amount of business space, and a design shop (TOJO) on the ground floor. Architecture and Design Scotland (A+DS) now occupy one of five floors of the building and continue to run a range of programmes on that floor. The remaining staff have recently been awarded extended contracts of employment with GCC.
One of the key features of The Lighthouse is the uninterrupted view over Glasgow's cityscape available from the Mackintosh Tower at the north of the building, which is accessible via a helical staircase from the third floor.
There is also another modern viewing platform at the south of the building, on the sixth floor and is only accessible via lift
This is a photograph from the Leinster Cross Country Championships which was held at Moyvalley Hotel and Golf Estate at Balyna Estate, Moyvalley, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 25th October 2015 begining at 11:00 until the final race at 14:20. The programme for today included Boys and Girls even ages, Junior male and female, Novice male and female and Masters male and female. The races were run on a superb course beside the Moyvalley hotel where the vast acres of prime farmland provided a large space to have a fair but challenging course on good firm ground.
The Leinster event was hosted by local club Na Fianna from Co. Meath. However the venue was actually just inside Co. Kildare in a part of the county where Meath and Kildare borders intersect several times along the route of the old N4/N6 road. The luxury Moyvalley Hotel & Golf resort is set amidst 550 acres of historic Kildare countryside and is easily accessed from the M6/M4 at Enfield or Kinnegad.
Results can be found at MyRunResults.com and their website www.myrunresults.com/results.html
Balyna Estate where the races were held can trace its history back to the 1500s. More recently the estate was owned by the Bewley Family of the Bewley Cafe fame. The hotel and resort were taken over by new management in 2014 who are implementing big plans to expand Moyvalley further.
Our full collection of photographs from the races today are available on Flickr at this set www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157659898745159

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

This is a photograph from the 2nd Annual Rock 'n' Roll Dublin Half Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Monday 4th August 2014 at 08:30. The Rock 'n' Roll Dublin Half Marathon also incorporated the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National Half Marathon Championships which was open to all eligible runners registered with an AAI affiliated athletics club. The race started in Dublin City center at North Wall Quay and Castleforbes Road on the Liffey. The route then went West out of the city bringing runners along the famous South Quays to Inchicore and then taking a slight northerly direction into the Phoenix Park. The race finished in the Phoenix Park with runners following over half of the course within the grounds of the famous park. Over 7,000 people took part. The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon series is one of the largest running series in the world with events primarily taking place in North American Cities. However, recently the franchise has spread to Europe. One of the unique aspects of the race is that every course features live bands along the course along with cheering teams of supporters at water stations. In the Phoenix Park today there was a large entertainment area at the Finish line for competitors, families and friends to enjoy.

Lania is one of the grape cultivating villages of the island. Whilst its residents were mainly employed in the cultivation of vines - and the production of wines, Zivania (spirit) and Soutzoukos (grape sweet) in older times - due to urbanization, there are now only a few harvesters and grape producers left.
According to tradition,the village got its name from Lana, daughter of Dionysus, God of Wine, or it may be derived from the word ‘valania’ (acorn), due to the fruit of the oak trees growing abundantly in the region.
Interesting sights include the old wine press, the Commandaria Storage Museum, and an old olive press. The church of Panagia Valana is located in the centre of the village.
This is the village, where I did my resettlement course on 'Ethnic Woodturning' after serving 8 yrs in the PMRAFNS. I considered it quite a coup. : )

Rondreis Polen met Djoser van 11 t/m 24 mei 2019 ...
This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the Japan Earthquake.
After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.
With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.
He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “
The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.
The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s love for her child!!
It is amazing, that with just two changes of train, I can get off at Brussels Centraal. Or with just one, get off at Brussels Midi.
The Southeastern services from Dover even link up with a stress free change at Ebbsfleet, so the whole experience is enjoyable.
Only downside is, I have to travel 45 minutes up to Ebbsfleet, on the banks of the Thames, only to get on another train that will go back down the line I have just come up. And that would happen on the way back too as well.
But then with a panoramic view from the terminal looking over the junction with the Medway Valley line and then as HS1 plunges into the Thames Tunnel, plenty to see and enjoy.
This is part of the Portrait Project.
I met Donna one night at Union Square Park. She was walking down Geary, sobbing and talking out loud to no one in particular. As she passed, she said "Every day is f***ed up for me!"
She turned back, and asked for a dollar. I explained the $2 portrait project to her, and she nodded her head, wiped tears from her eyes, and posed for her portrait.
I asked her how long she had been in San Francisco, and she said "two years", while trying to hold back tears. She seemed uncomfortable talking, so I wished her well and she went on her way.
She is a Work in Progress.
It took a lot of hard work and ingenuity to create this girl (considering you cannot buy spray paint in the city of Chicago). I had to use other tanning methods to get the perfect shade of Ebony . I think it turned out well for my 1st time
Another 1st for me, Boil perms :/
Also i applied my Opalescent porous skin tone technique to the final coats.
With all these firsts I figured Edison would be a good name for her.
Details:
1) Nose, Eye, and Philtrum Carving
2) Painting of face and body in Ebony color
3) Pure Azone Flextion Body upgrade
4) the face and body was treated for a Opalescent porous skin look
5) AllProtected with UV MSC
6) Lips painted with Acrylic red paint and gloss varnished
7) Eyes bogggled and gaze corrected
8) Sleep eye
9) 2 custom color eye chips by Me
10) Factory face plate and eye mechanism used with a Nicky lad Scalp, which has been boil permed
Thank you Melly Kay for the tips. Even though I could not use spray paint, your kind words of encouragement pushed me through this process. :D
