This is from a group of self-sown poppies, which managed to over winter and grow into six foot mutants, both the China Pink and the Bush Poppies are very hardy and both share the same type of foliage. China Reds grow to about 4-5 feet tall with large red through to pink flowers with round medium sized pods; White Bush Poppies grow to about 2.5 feet tall with flowers that resemble that of the Tasmanian poppies, medium sized round pods. With its height I took it to be a self-sown China Red, but I have now come to the conclusion that this is a cross between them both.
China Pink x White Bush Poppy
Very robust poppies to at least 6 feet, flowers very large striped pink through to white with purple base spots, large round pods, very hardy with both cold and pests, a true beautiful freak.
This trendsetting coupe is truly Porsche’s “ancestor car”. Its chassis design, rear engine, aerodynamics, and shape anticipated all postwar Porsche cars. In 1931 Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the dynasty, opened a design consulting office in Stuttgart, Germany. A brilliant engineer and theoretician, Dr. Porsche was responsible for the original Volkswagen. In 1937 he and his staff, including his son Ferdinand (“Ferry”), began work on a sports car version of the VW, called the Type 64. Then Porsche decided to build his own sports car, to be called the Type 114 or F-Wagen. The mechanical drawings were never completed, but by 1939 the car had been conceptualized in detail.
The Type 114’s engine was to be located between the passengers and the rear axle. Porsche planned a then-radical 1.5-liter V-10 power plant, anticipating present-day Formula-One engines. Designer Erwin Komenda styled modern body. Porsche anticipated producing this car once world tensions subsided.
Despite the war, automakers had begun to create special cars for a Berlin-to-Rome road race. Porsche and his colleagues built three sports coupes based on the VW Type 60 (a.k.a. VW Type 60K10 Rekordwagen). Komenda’s design had fully skirted fenders. The seats were staggered to permit room for two occupants. Twin spare tires and the fuel tank were located under the hood. The new car was ready, but the ill-timed race was canceled.
The coupes were then fitted with horns and driven on the road. One was damaged in a collision; Ferdinand Porsche and his chauffeur used the other two. Only one complete Type 64, formerly owned by the Porsche family, survived the war. This re-creation was assembled on a Porsche-built VW chassis with original parts from the number 2 Type 64. The alloy body took three years to build.
This is the Philae Temple Complex, located on Agilkia Island, though it was originally located on Philae Island at Aswan in Upper Egypt. Constructed between 380 and 362 BC under Nectanebo I of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the primary temple structure of the complex was built to honor Isis, the mother goddess and most important female deity in the Ancient Egyptian religion. The temple also gained quite a few smaller temples dedicated to various deities, including Hathor, and it is believed that the site was the last active Ancient Egyptian religious site after all pagan religious practices were banned by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, in favor of Christianity, with the last known Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic carving being found at the site, dating to the late 4th Century. In 537 AD, religious ceremonies were halted at the site by the local commander, and the structure then became the Church of St. Stephen, with many of the carved reliefs being vandalized and the stone columns and walls having carvings of crosses and other religious symbols being added, while the temple structure itself remained largely intact for over a millennia. The temple complex includes the Vestibule of Hadrian, a tall Roman-era structure, and several Ptolemaic-era column capitals that were never completed, and remain in an unfinished state. The temple attracted a lot of attention in the 19th Century due to its picturesque location, immaculate state of preservation, and lack of sediments or debris obscuring the structure. The darkest period in the structure’s history began in 1902, when the British government, which controlled Egypt at the time, constructed the Aswan Low Dam on the Nile River, with the water level behind the dam rising up over the base of the temple, damaging the structure. The dam was raised twice, further covering more of the structure and leading to yet more damage. When the Aswan High Dam was under construction in the 1960s, UNESCO stepped in and moved the temple to higher ground, rescuing it from its watery grave.
Holt is located on wooded high ground of the Cromer-Holt ridge at the crossing point of two ancient by-ways and as such was a natural point for a settlement to grow. The town has a mention in the great survey of 1086 known as the Domesday Book. In the survey it is described as a market town and a port with the nearby port of Cley next the Sea being described as Holt’s port. It also had five watermills and twelve plough teams and as such was seen as a busy thriving viable settlement then.
The first Lord of the Manor was Walter Giffard; it passed to Hugh, Earl of Chester, who then left it to the De Vaux family. By this time Holt had a well-established market and two annual fairs which were held on the 25th of April and the 25th of November. Over the years Holt grew as a local place of trade and commerce.
On 1 May 1708 the town of Holt was devastated by a fire which destroyed most of the medieval town in the matter of three hours. The fire started at Shirehall Plain and quickly spread through the timber houses of the town. The church was also badly damaged with its thatched chancel destroyed and the lead melted from the windows with the flames spreading up the steeple. Local reports of the time state that the fire spread so swiftly that the butchers did not have time to rescue their meat from their stalls on the market.
With most of the medieval buildings destroyed in the fire the townsfolk set about rebuilding the town. The rebuilding made Holt notable for its abundance of Georgian buildings, that being the style of the day at the time when the town centre was rebuilt. However, the town repaired and retains its Norman parish church, which is dedicated to St Andrew.
This is the only stave church remaining in Vestfold and built in two phases. The first part was built around 1150, in the Roman style, with the second phase following approximately 100 years later and built in the Gothic style.
It is is one of only three preserved stave churches having a stave or pillar in the middle of the church.
The church has 12 different staves symbolising the apostles, in addition to the one in the middle, which symbolises Christ, all of which serve to support the building. Each stave is unique among the others. Along the walls one can see 8-10 crosses which were dedicated at the time the church was first used.
Originally, the church had an earthen floor, with benches along the walls where old and weak people might sit. Others had to remain standing during the mass.
The altar dates from around 1630.
The church was restored in 1948. Under the floor, 5 well preserved skeletons were found without coffins and just a thin layer of dirt over them. A man, two women and two children. They were left in place. It is believed they were victims of the Black death around 1349.

This is a route that goes all around the perimeter of the municipal area of L´Escala, with the exception of Cinclaus, going along the coastal strip and returning inland.
Technical Specifications
- Departure point: Cala Montgó
- Type of route: Round
- Distance: 18 km
- Time: 6 hours
- Difficulty: High (because of the distance involved)
To follow the route:
The route starts at Cala Montgó and from the beach itself you head towards L'Escala, along Carrer Trenca Braços, on the right, coinciding with the GR-92. Once at the top, in front of Illa Mateua Beach, in Carrer Punta Montgó, turn left to follow the sea, following the GR-92 markers. Go past the Punta dels Cinc Sous, Cala del Salpatx and Les Penyes until you get to Port de la Clota.
Then cross over the port by Carrer Romeu de Corbera, until you come to Riells Beach. At the beach, walk along Passeig del Petit Príncep until you get to Passeig del Mar, which takes you, following the coast, to the old centre of L'Escala. Carry along Passeig Lluís Albert and Port d'en Perris to La Platja. From La Platja (the main town beach) take Carrer Cargol and then Ronda Mar d'en Manassa, on your left, following the coastline. Go past La Creu small bay where you will see the fishermen's huts. This coastal path takes you to the place known as L’Oberta, from where you can see the beaches of Empúries. Walk along the Ronda del Pedró for about 200 metres and when you get to the Lampadòfor (the lamp bearer, the sculpture built to commemorate the arrival of the Olympic flame) turn right to take the Empúries Promenade.
The Empúries Promenade is two and a half kilometres long and runs parallel to the beaches of Empúries. It takes you past the Platja del Rec, Platja del Portitxol, Platja de les Muscleres and Platja del Moll Grec beaches, and you come to Sant Martí d'Empúries, which is the end of the route.
Go past the village of Sant Martí d'Empúries, heading south, taking the main road that leaves the village. From the same road, take the left at the first path you come to, and continue along this path towards Mas Sastruc. At the crossroads with Mas Sastruc, carry straight on and cross over the main road at its narrowest part. On the other side of the road, near the Tourist Information Office, take a path there is on the left that will take you to Les Corts farmhouses, signposted as "Camí de les Corts a Empúries", go between the farmhouses and turn left towards El Molí de L'Escala restaurant, until you come to Camp dels Pilans, in Carrer Muntanya Rodona. This will take you to a path that heads south, right at the edge of the houses. You will find a signpost that labels the path "Via Heraklea" and from here on, follow the livestock path which winds between the pine trees. You will come to the large pine tree known as Pi Gros, carry on towards the south until you reach the road to Bellcaire. Cross over this road and go into the car park of Els Recs farmhouses, from here go to the football pitch and take the path behind it heading south, until you get to Cortal Nou. From Cortal Nou, take the "Termes" Path heading east, go through the old sand quarry, following the green and white markers, cross over Carrer Punta Milà and following the perimeter of the campsites, you will get to the end of the route, Cala Montgó.
Others values:
The value of this route lies in the combination and variety of spaces and landscapes; on the one hand the route takes you along the coast, going past a large number of beaches and small bays and panoramic viewpoints. On the other hand, it takes you past farmhouses and along rural paths with great landscape and botanical interest.
This is a photograph from the 5th annual Clongowes 5KM road race and fun run which was held at Clongowes Wood College, Clane, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 20th March 2016 at 11:00. The race is held annually as a fundraiser in aid of Clane Athletic Club and the Order of Malta International Camp and Lourdes fund. The weather was very good for road running. A cold dry crisp spring morning with clear skies and little wind. The race starts within the grounds of Clongowes Wood College at the Gold Course Side. The race proceeds out the golf course exit onto the Clane Kilcock road (the R407) and heads towards Kilcock. At the next junction (Borehole Cross) the course then takes a left and heads towards Prosperous village on the R408 known locally as 'the straight road'. About 1KM after the turn the course turns left in Ballynaboley and makes its way along a small boreen road which brings runners to join up again with the Clane Kilcock road. The race then runs right towards Clane and soon the runners see the famous landmark of the gates of the entrance to Clongowes Wood College. There is about a 400m straight stretch down the avenue to the finish as runners look down the straight avenue to the finish and the backdrop of the historic college buildings. Overall the course is flat and fast with a small incline over the first 2KM before the race turns off the Clane-Kilcock road.
The race is supported by Clane Athletic Club which is one of Ireland's newest athletic clubs. The club was reformed in 2012 with the principal aim of promoting athletics for all ages in the village of Clane and surrounding areas.
The grounds of the college provide a historically significant backdrop to the race. The school can trace its history back to a large estate owned by a local family in the 1400s. The estate became a school in the 1800s. While Clongowes is well known in the educational domain it is also well known for its strong history in schools rugby union. Today Clongowes Wood college is a voluntary secondary boarding school for boys.

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.

This design doesn't have a lot to it. They defiantly chose this font because of it modern feel to the store, which coincides with NW 23rd, a very modern part of portland. The could use some sort of imagery to it, the font selection that they choose was defiantly strategic. The font defiantly has a modern feel to it which goes with the trendiness of the store its self.
This is a shoot for a recent University brief. The brief was set around 3 words, one of the words being "Taste", i took this interpretation of taste in a fashion and style sort of way. I decided to dress my model in 3 fairly different outfits, so you got a different feel from each, a different fashion genre on each of the outfits. There's not a massively obvious definition, but i think it is subtley there.
This is one of the first proper fashion shoots i have ever done, i have never felt as though i was good enough at it to produce anything that looked half decent, but i am very pleased with the way this has turned out. It took a lot of practice with lighting and a lot of watching other people in the studio for me to learn the basics, but with these images, i feel as though it has more than definately paid off.
I will definately be a bit more confident in the future and persue fashion images a bit more. I have some time over easter, so i might experiment a bit more then with locations, poses, styling and models.
Massive thank you to the beautiful (skinny minnie) Aimee for modeling for me :)
Djenne is made almost entirely of mud construction, and this includes the very famous great mosque, the largest mud structure in the world. Mud must be renewed twice a year. In the foreground is a pit used for mixing the mud with animal dung to make the building material.
Those of you who know me or who have followed my photostream for any length of time will know that I greatly enjoy the juxtaposition of this great building and the mud and shit hole it is made from. Glory is in the intention, and magnificence can come from humble origins.

This is Cuenca, whose historic centre has the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Its buildings blend in perfectly with stunning natural landscapes. This fusion of art and nature give this city in the Castile-La Mancha region, in inland Spain, a special atmosphere.
Cuenca is 170 kilometres from Madrid, in the Castile-La Mancha region. The first thing you will notice is the cultural heritage of a city that maintains intact its appearance of a medieval fortress, with its palaces, stately houses, towers, churches, convents, streets, squares and walkways. Its historic centre is packed with civil and religious buildings of different artistic styles, the majority constructed between the 12th and 18th centuries.
Before strolling through the centre of Cuenca, we recommend that you take a look from a distance: seeing how the city "hangs" from the rock is spectacular. From the San Pablo Convent, now home to a Parador Hotel, you will be able to enjoy this view, with the San Pablo Bridge suspended over the Huécar Canyon, along with the façades of the Hanging Houses, the city's most emblematic structures, defying the gorge below. These buildings are excellent examples of traditional architecture. They are currently home to the Spanish Museum of Abstract Art, not to be missed, given that it has one of Europe's best collections in the genre.
The following await you in its streets: the Cathedral (12th-13th centuries), the first example of Gothic architecture in Spain. Its façade is the only one in the country in Anglo-Norman style; the area surrounding Plaza Mayor Square, with emblematic buildings such as the Town Hall; networks of narrow streets, hills, staircases, underground passes and stone walls that lead to places such as Nuestra Señora de las Angustias Shrine and San Miguel Church, from where you can enjoy stunning views of the area

This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.
This is a photograph from a large set of photographs from the SSE Airtricity Dublin Half Marathon 2015 which was held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland on Saturday September 19th 2015 at 10:00. This half marathon is the final race in the SSE Airtricity Dublin Race Series which sees four races organised over the summer months in preparation for the Dublin City Marathon in October. This half marathon is one of the largest mass participation sporting events in Ireland and is by far the largest individual half marathon race in Ireland. Almost 7,000 participants took part in the race today which is ran almost entirely in the Phoenix Park. To help with congestion on the race course the race starts in three separate waves which allows faster runners start first. The weather was cool and dry with just a little breeze. Overall the weather was very suitable for road racing and running. The next challenge or race for those taking part today is the Dublin City Marathon at the end of October 2015.

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.

Het is week van het Nederlands en dat vonden de Voetbalbond, Voetbal Vlaanderen, vzw de Rand en de Taalunie het goede moment om een gratis zakwoordenboekje uit te brengen voor anderstalige voetballers. Het wordt in 10.000 exemplaren verspreid en is bedoeld voor alle professionele en amateurclubs. Het is een boekje dat van pas kan komen voor voetbalclub FC Damme. Daarbij spelen heel wat asielzoekers die verblijven in het opvangcentrum van het Rode Kruis in de vroegere militaire basis in Sijsele.
Het boekje telt zo’n 500 woorden en is opgedeeld in 10 korte hoofdstukken zoals "het voetbalveld", "mijn voetbalzak", "de training". Daarnaast besteedt het boekje aandacht aan de kleedkamer, leert het jongeren te vertellen waar ze pijn hebben of hoe ze een drankje bestellen in de kantine. De kleurrijke tekeningen en de spelelementen maken het boekje heel toegankelijk. Zo is er onder meer de woordpuzzel "Welke 7 kledingsstukken is Lukaku vergeten?". Het zakwoordenboekje is bedoeld voor anderstalige voetballers, hun ouders en hun trainers.
Vooral bruikbaar voor kinderen?
William Deroo is coördinator van de beloften bij FC Damme. Hij is blij met het initiatief, maar vindt dat het vooral van pas zal komen voor de kinderen: "De kinderen van de mensen uit het opvangcentrum gaan zoals hun leeftijdgenootjes van het dorp naar een school in de buurt en pikken daar het Nederlands zeer snel op. Voor hen en voor hun ouders zal het van pas komen. Voor mijn groep, ligt dat wat moeilijker. www.kneistikrant.be/fc-damme-blij-met-gratis-zakwoordenbo...
Larnaca is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus and the capital of the eponymous district. It is the third-largest city in the country, after Nicosia and Limassol.
Finikoudes beach is considered as one of the most famous beaches in south Cyprus. The heart of Larnaca town is just behind the beach, divided from the shore by the coast road, Athenon Avenue. Finikoudes beach was named after the small palm trees planted here back in 1922.
The seaside promenade of Piale Pasha in Larnaca has been transformed into one of the most picturesque streets, completely renovated through facade refurbishment works just before its final stretch.
The buildings along the bustling street, connecting Phinikoudes with Mackenzie, have been adorned with color, showcasing the character of the Turkish-Cypriot neighborhood of Scala.
