The Queen Victoria Monument is a large neo-Baroque[1] or Beaux-Arts[2] monument built over the former site of Liverpool Castle[1] at Derby Square in Liverpool.
A large ensemble featuring 26 bronze figures by C. J. Allen (some in New Sculpture style),[3] it was designed by F. M. Simpson of the Liverpool School of Architecture, in collaboration[4] with the local architectural firm[5] of Willink and Thicknesse[1] and built of Portland stone. The foundation stone was laid on October 11, 1902, and the monument was unveiled on September 27, 1906. It is a Grade II Listed structure,[1] a preservation category for structures of special public interest
There are four groups of figures around the pedestal, representing agriculture, commerce, industry and education.[6] Among the figures representing education is a statue modeled on Sir Oliver Lodge.[3] A large (4.42 metres (14.5 ft)) statue of Queen Victoria is at the center, centered in four groups of columns which support a baldacchino-like[6] open dome (which Terry Cavanagh called the monument's "least successful feature").[7] Atop the column groups are four allegorical figures representing justice, wisdom, charity, and peace.[6] Atop the dome itself is a large figure representing fame
Etching is a method of making prints from a metal plate, usually copper or zinc, which has been bitten with acid. The plate is first coated with an acid-resistant substance (etching ground or varnish) through which the design is drawn with a sharp tool (burin or other). The acid eats the plate through the exposed lines; the more time the plate is left in the acid, the coarser the lines. When the plate is inked and its surface rubbed clean, and it is covered with paper and passed under a cylindrical press, the ink captured in the lines is transferred to the paper.
Aquatint often produces finished prints which resemble watercolors or wash drawings. It is a favorite method of printmakers to achieve a wide range of tonal values. The technique consists of exposing the plate to acid through a layer (or sometimes successive layers) of resin or sugar. The acid bites the plate only in the spaces between the resin particles, achieving a finely and evenly pitted surface that yields broad areas of tone when the grains are washed off and the plate is inked and printed. A great many tones can be achieved on a single plate by exposing different areas to different acid concentrations or different exposure times. Aquatint techniques are generally used in combination with etching or engraving to achieve linear definition.
Christchurch is a borough and town in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England. The town lies next Bournemouth in the west and the New Forest lies to the east. Historically and previously within Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974 and is the most easterly borough in the county. It covers an area of 19.5 square miles and has a population of around 45,000, making it the fourth most populous town in the county.
On the 10th June 2018, Christchurch Council held a Super Car event that was very well attended. The cars were displayed in Saxon Square and along the High Street. It was not easy walking around trying to get Videos and Photos of the event. The selection of cars that were on display was a credit to the event. A well-known TV chef appeared in his very own and very expensive and rare Ferrari. Various stalls were there selling all manner of food, drinks, and memorabilia. There was some confusion as to how the cars would arrive and many people waited in the wrong place waiting along the Christchurch By~Pass some did arrive this roadway but many were missed having arrived on the other road into Christchurch. However, they could still be seen on display in the High street.
The story of Christchurch Priory goes back to at least the middle of the 11th century, as Domesday says there was a priory of 24 secular canons here in the reign of Edward the Confessor. The Priory is on the site of an earlier church dating from 800 AD. In 1094 a chief minister of William II, Ranulf Flambard, then Dean of Twynham, began the building of a church. Local legend has it that Flambard originally intended the church to be built on top of nearby St. Catherines Hill but during the night, all the building materials were mysteriously transported to the site of the present priory. Although in 1099 Flambard was appointed Bishop of Durham, work continued under his successors, and by about 1150 there was a basic Norman church consisting of a nave, a central tower and a quire extending eastwards from the crossing. It was during this period that another legend originated, that of the miraculous beam, which was to change the name of the town from Twynham to the present day Christchurch.
Christchurch Quay, from the quay you can find a ferry called Wick Ferry, that will take you over to Hengistbury Head, also a little further along the Quay, there is a ferry boat that will take you across the river to the pretty village of Wick or even onto the Tuckton tearooms. This ferry started around 1880 by Eli Miller, and only cost then, a halfpenny to cross the river. Christchurch was founded in the 7th century at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour which flow into Christchurch Harbour. The town was originally named Twynham but became known as Christchurch following the construction of the priory in 1094. The town developed into an important trading port and was fortified in the 9th century. Further defences were added in the 12th century with the construction of a castle which was destroyed by the Parliamentarian Army during the English Civil War. During the 18th and 19th centuries, smuggling flourished in Christchurch and became one of the town's most lucrative industries. The town was heavily fortified during Second World War as a precaution against an expected invasion and in 1940 an Airspeed factory was established on the town's airfield which manufactured aircraft for the Royal Air Force.

This is a photograph the 4th running of the East of Ireland Marathon series in Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 26th September 2015 at 09:00. This East of Ireland Marathon Series also featured a half marathon and a 20 mile race. The Half Marathon and the 20 Mile Race were added to the agenda to provide measured official races for athletes preparing for next month's Dublin City Marathon. The races were run in almost perfect weather conditions - blue skies, no wind and not even a hint of rain. In fact temperatures 18C by midday which even made things a little warmer than is comfortable for marathon and distance running. There was over 150 participants in all of the three races which started and finished at Longwood GAA club. There was a wonderful atmosphere amongst all of the runners and the looped course meant that every passed by the race HQ every 5KM.

Yes - of course you can! Flickr provides several ways to share this and other photographs in this Flickr set. You can share directly to: email, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, LiveJournal, and Wordpress and Blogger blog sites. Your mobile, tablet, or desktop device will also offer you several different options for sharing this photo page on your social media outlets.
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!

This is one of my shots from the ISO shoot. Initially it didn't make the cut and since I was looking for a creative outlet to alleviate a minute or two of boredom I started adjusting. I converted to black and white, adjusted contrast, applied my favorite red filter and cropped a bit.
Manastir Zitomislic is a small, pretty monastery located in Herzegovina, not too far south of Mostar on the way to the Adriatic.
It's a Greek Orthodox monastery, which means it's for the Serbs. (Quick regional history lesson: Serbs are predominantly Eastern Orthodox, which is Russia's predominant religion; Bosnians tend to be Muslim, from Ottoman times; and Croats are usually Roman Catholic, from...well, Roman times.)
Southern Herzegovina -- and here, in particular -- lies close to the Croatian border, so the region tends to have more Roman Catholic/Croat influence than not. These pictures look pristine, almost as if everything were new and freshly painted. Why?
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the national factions began fighting each other. The biggest "difference" between the groups is their religious beliefs. (The sad thing? Genetically, the Slavs in the Balkans are 93% related to one another...according to two different guides I met here.)
I mention religion in passing here to talk about the history of this particular monastery. The Ottomans granted a local family permission to build this around 1600, on the location of an even older church. (First recorded history of monks here was in 1606.) By the early 1800s, there were guest quarters, access to fresh water, a vineyard, and a seminary. They also maintained their records well. They had many manuscripts and texts from the 16th and 17th century, and some Turkish documents as well.
In 1992, during the Bosnian War, the Roman Catholic Croatian Defense Council first emptied the treasury, and then dynamited every building to the ground, leaving the stones where they lay.
And that's why everything here looks new. In 2005, the Serbian Orthodox Church undertook the job of rebuilding this monastery as meticulously as they could.

This excellent motor museum is housed in a 1930s Art Deco bus garage at the far end of Moretonhampstead, on the edge of Exmoor. Unfortunately its up for sale as the founder owner now wishes to retire "properly" - this was his original retirement project! Some more unusual cars in this collection.
This is a 2023 upload of a scanned image from my collection. Probably 95% come from slides, the remaining 5% are prints or negatives. They include my own Kodachrome slides, as well as other photographers, which are noted accordingly when the identity is known. All have been collected over the past 40+ years of shooting, exchanging, and purchasing. I was fortunate enough to trade with some of the best aircraft photographers in the world.
This archive was created in 2017, to place my collection in an easily accessible venue.

Dunguaire Castle is a 16th century tower house in Kinvara, Galway, Ireland.
Reputed to be the most photographed castle in Ireland.
Buckbeak is a hybrid layer and a retiree from a local egg farm. Somebody -- probably a poultry distributor -- clipped her beak when she was a young pullet. Usually these girls grow their beaks back, but if it was clipped too far back, they can't. Some "overclipped" chickens have trouble eating, but Buckbeak doesn't. She's a big, strong girl.
No fences and beak clips for Buckbeak these days. She wanders over a couple of acres.
She still has a look in her eyes. Hard times.

This is a photograph from the 5th annual Braveheart 5KM Trail Run which was held in the wonderful historic grounds of Trim Castle, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 13th June 2014. This unique event is staged along the banks of the Boyne and will take in many of the medieval sites of the town through the Porchfields. The heritage trails of Trim are an excellent leisure resource, and always prove popular with runners. Trim Castle, the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland, was constructed over a thirty-year period by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter. Hugh de Lacy was granted the Liberty of Meath by King Henry II in 1172. This race is the envy of many in Ireland as it is an opportunity for runners to run in one of the world's most historic castles. This year over 600 runners took part. Congratulations to everyone in Trim AC for staging an incredible night of racing. The beautiful summer's evening made the event one which was raced in the most perfect of settings.
Our full set of photographs from the event are at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157645195984413/
The race is run completely within Porchfields in Trim. Views of Trim Castle dominate the race from almost all vantage points. The race starts close to the Yellow Steeple and proceeds clockwise around the upper field of Porchfields. The route then goes right down to the River Boyne and use the pedestrian underpass under the R154 to access the easterly field in Porchfields. The race then proceeds to complete a full loop of this field. Part of this loop is on grass and then remainder of the loop joins the tarmac walkway along the Boyne. The route then brings runners back under the road to the westerly field in Porchfields where another loop is done before heading up-hill towards the finish beneath the Yellow Steeple.

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
Is Martha Stevens well. During the civil war Martha Stevens stayed at her home, going out during the battles to get water from her well and also tearing strips from her clothes to help bandage wounded soldiers. Her house finally burned down around 1913 I do believe.
Hampsthwaite is a charming village near Harrogate, N Yorkshire, UK.
The name is of old Norse origin with 'thwaite' meaning clearing or meadow. 'Hamps' could mean the meadow or clearing of Hamr.
The village grew with the construction of a Roman road and bridge over the River Nidd.
Evidence of an earlier Saxon church was discovered with grave covers.
For the beer lovers - Joshua Tetley, the founder of Tetley's brewery, is buried in the church grounds.
This sign was commissioned to mark the millennium.
The first written record of settlement is from around 1180.

Oceanside is a census-designated place (CDP) and unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States. The population was 361 at the 2010 census. Oregon Route 131's northern terminus is in the community, which is just north of Netarts. Symons State Park is in Oceanside, while Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge lies just offshore. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanside,_Oregon)
This photo is of my friend Abby, it was taken in the community centre on a small ledge. I chose this location because there was something carved into the bricks in the back making the picture more interesting, and I wanted my picture to be of the model sitting, so the photo would be more simple. This photo tells a story because the first two clones on the right are gossiping, and the third one is just looking around, and the last clone is listening in on the conversation of the first two as it is very interesting. I used this technique to make this photo interesting because all the clones are doing different things and are posed in different ways including their legs. This photo is more interesting with this technique because it helps tell a story which wouldn't be there if there was just one Abby in the picture just sitting there. it also shows four different facial expressions and moods which help make the picture ore interesting and tell a story.
Egretta is a genus of medium-sized herons, mostly breeding in warmer climates. Representatives of this family are found in most of the world, and the Little Egret, as well as being widespread throughout much of the Old World, has now started to colonise the Americas.
The breeding habitat of Egretta herons is marshy wetlands in warm countries. They nest in colonies, often with other wading birds, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs.
These herons feed on insects, fish and amphibians, caught normally by cautious stalking.
Specie: Little Egret, Egretta garzetta or Ardea garzetta.
Guarujá is a municipality in the São Paulo state of Brazil. The population in 2006 was 305.171, the population density is 1,969.47/km² and the area is 143 km². This place name comes from the Tupi language. The population is highly urbanized.
Geography
Guarujá is located in Santo Amaro island, situated in São Paulo shore. Its main economic sources are seasonal tourism and port related activities.
Enseada. This huge beach is the most popular and common destination for the occasional tourist. Kiosks selling coconuts, beer and great finger food founded all over. Although crowded in the summer, it also has a rich nightlife that can make traffic chaotic during the high season.
Guarujá is a popular weekend destination for families from São Paulo, which can get there driving in less than an hour (through the Imigrantes highway). Traffic gets heavy during the evening in holidays. Guarujá also has relics from history such as the Barra Grande Fortress, built by the colonizers in 1584, the Forte Velho just 8 km from the centre. It accessed by the Santa Cruz dos Navegantes road, or by boat, from the Ponte dos Práticos (Pilot’s Bridge), and the Armação das Baleias, the first industrial plant set up in the state for the extraction of whale oil.
My sister's name is My Tam, she has just turned one year old since she was born. My Tam is a cute and quite mischievous girl. She has shiny, silky black hair that is always left loose like a princess. Although still small, My Tam is also quite chubby, her face is round, her cheeks are bulging along with pink and white skin that makes anyone looking at her want to take a bite. Small round eyes, big black, glittering like a longan, a small, pretty nose, a red-pink mouth, every time she smiles, she reveals her teeth that have not yet grown, looks very cute. Every day, My Tam was taught to speak and walk by her parents, each time, I witnessed her lovely moments.
When she learned to walk, because her legs were not steady, each step of Tam was supported and guided by her parents, and gradually she was able to limp a few short steps, making my whole family happy. no stop. With each step, her plump, round body rocked to the rhythm of her steps, looking like a cute little tortoise, her mouth was grinning like pride and pride. There are also times when the baby falls on the ground, but thanks to the encouragement and encouragement of the people around, he gets up and continues walking. She has always worked hard to learn to walk, so now she can walk a long distance without support. My Baby Tam is so good!
Learning to walk is one thing, but when My Tam learned to speak, she made my whole family have moments of laughter. In the first few days, she was taught by her mother to say simple words such as "dad", "mum", "sister", ..Wow, how lovely is that baby voice! Gradually, she was taught longer sentences, then relearned the words of those around her, following along to make everyone laugh. My family is very happy because now she can speak almost fluently the basic daily communication sentences.
Witnessing my little sister's lovely moments when she learned to talk and walk, I remembered myself back in the day, there were times when I was so immature and cute. I hope that baby My Tam will become more and more steady and speak fluently so that she can talk and hang out with me later.

It is Morag's sister's 60th birthday on Monday so the family gave a surprise celebration tonight at Rab Ha's in Glasgow. She had all her family there and we had a wonderful time. It is also Mark's 18th next week so we threw in a double celebration. Which means it was a birthday party between two generations. So after a bit of psychedelic manipulation this is my psychedelic Saturday pic.
"This is a Scrabo sandstone church, but one that has undergone little conservation. It exhibits a variety of decay types, including the rapid retreat of individual blocks. This occurs when a block loses an outer layer of material through, for example, the falling away of a large scale. The effect of this is to produce a hollow in which salts can continue to accumulate because it is sheltered from rainwash. This salt accumulation, combined with the higher humidity in the shadow of the hollow, creates an excellent environment for accelerated decay. This reinforcement process is known as 'positive feedback' and it means that once decay is 'switched on' in these kinds of weak sandstones it becomes very difficult to turn off.
Part of the detailing on the church includes a string course of Doulting limestone. This is a potential source of gypsum for the quartz sandstone, and it is possible to see how this has lead to the decay of blocks below the limestone. Gypsum can also wash out of the mortars and this can lead to the formation of gypsum crusts on the top parts of stone blocks. The final feature is the growth of algae and lichen on many blocks. There is anecdotal evidence that this greening of sandstone buildings has become widespread across Northern Ireland over the last couple of years and you will see other examples on buildings such as the Elmwood Hall at the other end of the Avenue. Recent work by the Weathering Research Group has suggested that this greening may be linked to changes in weather conditions in which winters have become milder and wetter. This has resulted in stonework remaining saturated for long periods of time, which in turn might encourage biological colonisation and growth. Whether this represents a short-term effect or is indicative of a longer-term change in climate will take more research. However, if it is indicative of a permanent environmental change, it might mean that we have to change many of our ideas about building stone decay. The frequency of the wetting and drying of salts could, for example, decrease and with it the effectiveness of salt weathering. But we would have to take the effects of biological weathering much more seriously. Likewise, conservators may find less call for the treatment of gypsum crusts and a greater interest in the effectiveness of biocide treatments."

JoJo is a female DSH Black and White Tuxedo, born May 2015. She was received from Putnam animal control with her eyes sealed shut from infection. With much care and oral antibiotic as well as antibiotic eye drops, we were able to save most of her vision. Her eyes have a slight film and although she has some vision impairment, she does not let it slow her down. She comes to her name when called, meows back and will follow you around the house, wagging her long sleek tail. She loves to play and loves a good neck rub.
JoJo is up to date on all her shots, FeLeuk and FIV negative and spayed.

Dresden is a robust kitty with a plush gray fur coat and big paws with extra toes. He was brought to Lollypop Farm as a stray. Dresden is a busy guy who has lots of kitty things to do and is filled with independence and curiosity. He loves to explore and find all kinds of things to check out. Dresden enjoys rough and tumble play, so he needs a special person who will gently remind him of his manners. Are you that special person? Come in and meet Dresden, it may be the beginning of a special relationship.
In many ways this is the most interesting old cemetery in Ireland and it is well worth a visit.
Back in 1979 I lived beside Mount Jerome cemetery and considered it to be a horrible depressing place. Even though three family members were buried there I did not visit it between 1980 and 2001. It is popular for Humanist Funerals and over the last ten years I have attended about fifteen funerals there but most were cremated or buried elsewhere.
Many of the monuments in Mount Jerome are not Christian and I would describe them as pagan classical (Roman) or Egyptian. Compared to other cemeteries in Dublin there are few Celtic crosses. It would appear that the purpose of many of the monuments was to proclaim how important the person had been in life [many were of note and more than a few were less inclined to boast].
Trees and ivy slowly took over and burrowing roots toppled monuments. The once boastful display of wealth and status became a junkyard and remaining gems were vandalised. In 1984 it was put into voluntary liquidation.
However with new owners in 1998 and the opening of a Crematorium in 2000, revenues recovered enough to allow a proper ongoing restoration and maintenance program that should prevent it falling into decline again.
Tameside - Safe4Summer
The initiative is part of the Government’s mission to restore and strengthen local policing in communities and reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour (ASB). As part of this, there will be a greater visibility of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers and partners as we work together across crime hot spot areas.
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: "We’re determined to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer place for everyone. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is a testament to our dedication to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
“By continuing to work closely with our communities and partners, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and can enjoy not only the summer but all year round and every year. We’ll be working hard to ensure our town centres are safe and welcoming for all.”
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “Our neighbourhoods are negatively impacted by various crimes such as the illegal use of e-bikes, drug dealing and other ASB.
“As a force, it’s our mission to listen to our community’s concerns and take action where crime is committed. Our proactive approach to tackling neighbourhood crime has meant that since 2021, we’ve reduced burglary by a third and vehicle crime by a quarter, thanks to the dedication of our local neighbourhood teams, working closely with partners across the region.
“Over the summer months, they will be focusing on increasing engagement with our communities to listen and respond to their concerns. Residents and business owners will also see an increase in the visibility of officers and partners, as we work together to ensure a safe summer for all. This isn’t about trying to spoil people’s fun over the summer months, it is making sure everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling unsafe or being hurt.
“We welcome the Home Office initiative, which perfectly aligns to the neighbourhood policing model our force implemented locally two years ago. Safe4Summer is the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of our partnerships in Greater Manchester, and our determination to minimise crime and disorder and to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer and more desirable place for all.”
TravelSafe Partnership Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: “While the vast majority of people using the Bee Network do so safely and responsibly, we know that crime and anti-social behaviour increases over school holidays, and that is not something we will tolerate.
“We work hard every day to keep people safe, whether that’s through our engagement programme or the many proactive operations that take place. We will have an increased presence across the Bee Network to prevent and deter incidents, helping people to travel and enjoy their summer safely and with confidence.”
In 2023, Greater Manchester Police made a commitment that every district ward has a named local police officer, and we would keep communities informed through our use of the community messaging service, Bee in the Loop, which provides the latest news on events and incidents straight to your email inbox.
In April 2025, we welcomed the opportunity to further strengthen our neighbourhood offer, with an increase in numbers of neighbourhood officers by 176, to help GMP to continue to deliver in tackling crime and working with partners and communities to keep our streets safe.
To receive free direct email alerts about how your Neighbourhood Policing Team is keeping your area safe, sign up to Bee in the Loop - www.beeintheloop.co.uk.
To report crime in your neighbourhood, contact the police via LiveChat at www.gmp.police.uk, or by calling 101 or dialling 999 in an emergency.

It is time for a gathering that begins from a place of gratitude within the heart; for life, all things large and small, young and old – inviting all music lovers, light workers and flowing yogis; the learners, teachers, and galactic pranksters to co-create a festival of pure positive intention unlike the Southeast has ever seen.
Gratifly is a gathering for those who are willing to rise to the challenge of making life creative, of expressing their truth, of letting go and living in the Now, and of dancing in ancient future joy, together.
Gratifly is a festival for all of the senses, all the regions of the mind and all the infinite expanses of the heart. Look forward to a multitude of artistic creation and authentic connection, a full workshop lineup every day of the event, and a music lineup of some of the most intentional and transformative electronic and live acts in the country.
We here at Gratifly are ready to see you sweat it out and connect in evolutionary ways on the dance floor and far beyond… all the way back home to where you sit now.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangū is the most important Shinto shrine in the city of Kamakura. For most of its history, until 1868, it was both a Hachiman shrine and a Tendai Buddhist temple.
As one enters, after the first torii (Shinto gate) there are three small bridges, two flat ones and an central arched one. The bridges span a canal that joins together two ponds dug in 1182, "Genpei ponds", named for two warring families, the Minamoto ("Gen") and the Taira ("Pei"). One of the islands in the Minamoto pond hosts a sub-shrine called Hataage Benzaiten Shrine (dedicated to Buddhist goddess Benzaiten). The sub-shrine was rebuilt in 1956, having been dismantled in 1868 under the religious separation order.
Tsurugaoka Hachimangū includes several sub-shrines, the most important of which are the Junior Shrine (Wakamiya ) at the bottom, and the Senior Shrine (Hongū ) 61 steps above. A couple of hundred meters to the right of the Junior Shrine lies Shirahata Jinja, near which an annex was created to allow the shogun to worship distant Yui Wakamiya (Moto Hachiman). To the left of the Senior Shrine lies Maruyama Inari Shrine with its many torii.
An unusual feature of the shrine is its 1.8 km approach, which has three torii gates and extends all the way to the ocean in Yuigahama along Kamakura's main street. The dankazura, a raised pathway flanked by cherry trees, has gone or is currently concealed behind boarding.
The year ahead is like a circus performance in a world devoid of gravity. The show begins with the illusion of control – a ringmaster in a tall hat calls the audience to attention, his voice trembling with uncertainty while straining to sound authoritative. The curtain rises, but instead of solid ground beneath their feet, everything is consumed by an endless weightlessness.
The clowns float aimlessly, their painted smiles stretched in desperation as they try to catch props that constantly slip from their grasp. The audience watches, but it’s unclear whether they are mere spectators or part of the performance – their faces flicker like holograms, always on the verge of disappearing.
In the centre ring, the trapeze artists launch themselves, but there is no safety net to catch them. Their flight seems infinite, directionless. They drift apart, their hands reaching for something invisible – a dream or a reality they can no longer grasp. The acrobats stretch the laws of physics to their breaking point, but their movements feel more like desperate attempts to cling to their own essence than to impress the crowd.
And then, there’s the hall of mirrors – a strange sideshow tent in the circus. Here, every projection is cast back at us – our hopes, our fears, our masked faces. But the mirrors are shattered, and each fragment reflects a different version of the year, a different story. Which one is real? Who can say?
The music is chaotic – a cacophony of pompous trumpets and distorted violins that cuts to the soul. It has no rhythm, no beginning, no end, only a constant sensation of something suspended in the air – a decision, a conclusion, an escape.
The circus goes on, floating in a vacuum between the real and the artificial. The performance never ends, for there is no “next act” – only an eternal, weightless dance towards something indefinable. The audience does not applaud. They cannot decide whether the show is beautiful or tragic. Perhaps it is both. Perhaps it is neither.
Poem:
The ringmaster calls with a tremor concealed,
In a voice that wavers, its authority steeled.
The curtain lifts; the ground is lost,
In a realm where gravity pays the cost.
The clowns float by with painted grins,
Hiding despair as the show begins.
Their juggling acts, a futile fight,
To hold the pieces in the weightless night.
Above, trapeze artists leap and soar,
Reaching for dreams they can’t restore.
No net below, no tethered line,
They drift apart in endless time.
The mirrored tent reflects our fears,
A kaleidoscope of fractured years.
Each shard a tale, a fleeting face,
Reality scattered in time’s embrace.
The music wails, a discordant plea,
A symphony born of entropy.
No rhythm to guide, no end in sight,
Only the weightless, eternal flight.
And still the circus spins its tale,
A cosmic jest, a fragile frail.
No applause, no final bow,
Just weightless dancers lost in the now.
Haikus:
Endless trapeze arcs,
No ground beneath, only air,
Dreams dissolve mid-flight.
Mirrors fracture truth,
Faces flicker, fade, and blur,
What’s real disappears.
Painted smiles drift on,
Clowns juggle what they can’t hold,
Laughter turns to dust.
Gravity undone,
The circus spins in the void,
Time is the tightrope.
Spiti is part of Himalaya, India. Located below Ladakh it has the same kind of mountains as Ladakh, but with less tourism. Eric Lon went several times to Spiti, trekking and also teaching yoga to young students, including young Buddhist monks.
There will be more and more pics of Spiti…
This set follows the snow leopards footprints.

Le Spiti fait partie de l’Himalaya indien. Il est situé sous le Ladakh, avec le même genre de montagnes, mais bien moins de touristes.
Eric Lon a passé de nombreux mois au Spiti, randonnant et enseignant le yoga à des jeunes spitiens, y compris à des jeunes moines bouddhistes.
Il va y avoir de plus en plus de photos du Spiti …

Is that a g-g-g-ghost? This was fun -- I've always wanted to do a "ghostly" shot and this assignment gave me the incentive to actually try it. Took quite a few attempts to get the timing right for a semi-transparent figure. Wish I had a white dress; I couldn't bring myself to dash around a public cemetery in a white sheet!

Fort Stockton is a city in and the county seat of Pecos County, Texas, United States. It is located on Interstate 10, Future Interstate 14, U.S. Highways 67, 285, and 385, and the Santa Fe Railroad, 329 mi (529 km) northwest of San Antonio and 240 mi (390 km) east of El Paso.
The population was 8,283 at the 2010 census.
Fort Lancaster sent 1st Infantry Co. H "to take post" along Comanche Springs on 12 April 1859. Fort Stockton (named Camp Stockton until 1860) grew up around Comanche Springs, one of the largest sources of spring water in Texas. The fort was named for 1st Lieutenant Edward Dorsey Stockton of the US 1st infantry, who died in San Antonio on March 13, 1857. Comanche Springs was a favorite rest stop on the Great Comanche Trail to Chihuahua, San Antonio-El Paso Road, the Butterfield Overland Mail Route.
Since the 1920s, Fort Stockton has experienced the economic boom-bust cycle of the petroleum industry. As of 2012, Fort Stockton is in a state of economic expansion as oilfield drilling and production has increased.
Fort Stockton is 100 mi (160 km) southwest of Midland International Airport. The town is within driving distance of the Big Bend country, including Big Bend National Park, 137 mi (220 km), and the Big Bend Ranch State Park, 171 mi (275 km), as well as the scenery of numerous day-drive locations in the area.
