This is one of the many tugboats in service at the canal.
The Pacific Ocean is on the west side, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east side of the Americas. However, Panama, located in the Central America isthmus, is a long and narrow country with its long axis running from west to east. Our transit of the Panama Canal is from the Pacific Ocean in the south, and goes northwest to the Caribbean Sea (Atlantic Ocean) in the north.
France began work on the canal in 1881, but had to stop because of engineering problems and high mortality due to disease. The United States took over the project in 1904, and took a decade to complete the canal, which was officially opened on August 15, 1914. The Panama Canal greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan.
The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for handover to Panama. After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government in 1999, and is now managed and operated by the Panama Canal Authority, a Panamanian government agency.

September is EOP Month at California State University, Northridge and the Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) was proud to host a celebration event to commemorate 48 years of continued student success.
On Wednesday, September 27, 2017 the CSUN EOP community gathered to celebrate the history of EOP by partaking in trivia games, food fundraisers and other fun activities.
During the event, there was also a remembrance table in honor of the late EOP Director, José Luis Vargas, whose dedication allowed for EOP to expand.
Since its inception in 1969, CSUN EOP aims to serve historically underrepresented, low-income, first-generation college students by providing them with access to academic services and support.
EOP Month takes a moment to reflect on the program’s history and to celebrate years of success.
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 Naval Memorial is located to the north of the town alongside the A47 (previously A12) Yarmouth Road, approximately one mile north of the harbour. The War Memorial is in a prominent position within the local authority gardens, known as Bellevue Park. The park is on the top of the cliffs and the War Memorial itself is on the edge of the cliff so providing an unobscured view of the foreshore and sea. Commemorating almost 2,400 men of the Royal Naval Patrol Service who have no grave but the sea, the War Memorial consists of a fluted column rising from a circular base almost 40ft in diameter surmounted by a bronze ship device (Lymphad) the uppermost point of which is over 49ft from ground level. Around the circular base are arranged bronze panels that bear the names. The panels are set in recesses and protected from the weather by a cornice. A Portland stone panel at the front of the War Memorial, flanked on either side by the Naval Crown with wreath and Fouled Anchor, faces towards the sea.
The War Memorial was designed by Mr. F. Hamer Crossley (FRIBA) who won a competition to provide the design, the winning design was chosen by Sir Edward Maufe. The Royal Naval Patrol Service War Memorial was unveiled by the First Sea Lord (Admiral of the Fleet) Sir Rhoderick McGrigor on the 7th of October in 1952.
Inscription on the base reads :-
THESE OFFICERS AND MEN
OF THE ROYAL NAVAL PATROL
SERVICE DIED IN THE DEFENCE
OF THEIR COUNTRY AND HAVE
NO GRAVE BUT THE SEA
1939 - 1945
THESE RANKS AND RATINGS DIED ON SHORE
BUT HAVE NO KNOWN GRAVE.
(There are 2,400 names on the Memorial, far too many to name here, please follow link :-
www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/names/search?filters%5BmemorialS... )
Lowestoft was chosen as the site for the War Memorial to those men of the Royal Naval Patrol Service who have no other grave than the sea. This was because it was the Depot for the Royal Naval Patrol Service during World War Two, developed from the pre-war Royal Naval Reserve Trawler Section Depot. At the outset of World War Two the Men of this Service were mainly the fishermen of the requisitioned trawlers and drifters used on Patrol Work, but later it included men from all walks of life and various types of small craft. In the spring of 1944 the Royal Naval Patrol Service reached its maximum strength of some 57,000.
Between 1942 and 1946 new construction ships and craft manned by the Service totalled 1,637, among them Minesweepers of various kinds, Corvettes, Fuel Carriers, Motor Launches and Naval Seaplane Tenders, their objective was to maintain Wartime Patrols and safeguard the coasts of Britain.
Usually when we talk about energy, we are refering to an ongoing source of power, something that is able to generate power, such as an electric generator. In a similar manner, when we speak of an energetic person, we usually mean a vigorous person, someone who possesses enormous energy. When we are around such a person, we feel there is a bank of energy happening. That person works so hard that we feel guilty being idle around him or her. We feel that we should do something too, and we begin to work very hard. Then no one can say that we have been bad boys and girls, that we haven't done our chores, washed the dishes or ironed the sheets. Because we feel that person's enormous energy, we begin to perk up, and we stop being idle. We begin to take part in the energy.
Then there is another kind of energy, which is self-existing. Self-existing energy is not dependant on something or somebody else; it simply takes place continuously. Although the source of such energy is difficult to track down, it is universal and all-pervasive. It happens by itself, naturally. It is based on enthusiasm in the sense that we trust what we are doing, and freedom in the sense that we are completely certain that we are not going to be imprisoned by our own energy, but instead, freed constantly. In other words, we realise that such energy does come up by itself, and that we can work with it. This self-existing energy is the potentiality of siddhi, a Sanskrit word that refers to the ability to use the existing energies of the universe in a very special and appropriate way.
Self-existing energy is difficult to describe in words or concepts. When we try to describe this pattern of energy, we are only fingerpainting. Basically, it is the energy of the psychological realm. No matter what state of mind we are in, we experience a particular quality of life, that is, we experience an emotion. We begin to feel an electric spark taking place. That energy can come out of having a quarrel with our wife or out of having a severe accident or a love affair. It comes out of being either rejected or accepted.
This energy is created both when we fail to do something and when we accomplish something. Rejection or acceptance by the world does not mean that the energy is either invalid or valid. Rather, there is transparent energy happening all the time. Whether we are in a appropriate situation, in accordance with the laws of the universe, or we are in a inappropriate situation, not in accordance with the laws of the universe, energy is constantly taking place. This energy, from the vajrayana or tantric point of view, is simply the energy that exists. It does not mean being hard-working or extremely industrious, always doing things, being a busybody, or anything like that. This energy can come from all kinds of challenges, in the positive or negative sense. Such energy takes place constantly.
Self-existing energy permeats all of our emotional relationships: our emotions towards our relatives, our lovers, our friends, and our enemies. It also permeats our philosophical beliefs: either something is happening "right" according to our beliefs, or something has gone "wrong" according to our beliefs. Some situations try to dislodge us from our philosophical or religious commitments, and some situations try to draw us into certain commitments. All kinds of energies take place. So when we talk about energy, we are not talikng about vigor alone but about that which exists in our lives. It is as though flint and steel were rubbing against each other and sparking constantly, again and again. That is, the phenomenal world exists, and we either rub against it or with it, and that rubbing is constantly creating a spark.
According to the tantric understanding of reality, energy is related to the experience of duality, the experience that you exist and others exist. Of course, both those concepts are false, but who cares about that? -- at the time, anyway.The deceptive existence of you and other rubs together, nevertheless. Sometimes you are conquering the world and sometimes the world is conquering you. It is like riding on a balloon in the ocean: sometimes the balloon rides on you and you are underneath the ocean; sometimes you ride on the balloon and the balloon is underneath the ocean. That play of duality takes play constantly; that kind of electricity takes place all the time.
So the basic notion of energy is nothing particularly magical or miraculous. It is simply rubbing together of the duality of you and the phenomenal world, you and other. We are talking about that spark, that fire. It is real fire, real water, real earth, and real air: the real elements are working with you. Still, at this point we have no idea who you are, actually. Let's just say we are talking about the basic you. Let's leave it vague at this point; otherwise it is going to get too complicated. Just leave it at you, this vague stuff that exists somewhere or other in the middle of the cosmos.
At this point the question arises of how we can handle, or utilize, such energy. In fact, that has been a question for a long, long time. For 2,500 years the same question has been asked: how can we handle self-existing energy; how can we work with it? Fundamentally, that question is the question of how to handle duality, or the basic split.
The split between self and other is taking place constantly, constantly creating energy, and we are always trying to work with it. Our approach is usually to try to unify the split in order to avoid the energy. We may say, "I am a good man; I am a bad man; I am Joe; I am Mary". In doing so, we are trying to bring self and other together in a superficial sense, as if no energy existed at all, as though everything were going smoothly: "There is nothing to worry about; everything's going to be okay. I am Mary, and that's smooth. There is no gap between I and am and Mary at all". Or we try to avoid the split by refusing to say "I am". Instead we might say, "My name is Mary." Still we have a problem. That approach of smoothing things out and trying to make everything presentable and respectable brings enormous problems, enormous questions. In fact, instead of getting rid of the energy, it raises further energy.
The attempt to define who we are and who we are not is basically split into two approaches: the theistic approach and the nontheistic approach. In the nontheistic approach we simply acknowledge the dualistic gap rather than trying to unify it or conceal it. In the theistic approach, there is an ongoing attempt to conceal that gap completely. There is a notion of spiritual democracy. In fact, that approach is often used in dealing with political and social problems: "Blacks are not against whites -- we are all the same species. Since we all live on the same earth, we should regard ourselves as a brotherhood".
That approach of covering up of separateness, pretending that the black man is a white man, is the cause of all kinds of problems; but the theistic approach can go much further than that, to the point of covering up any differences: "Let us have real unity. We can conceal this problem. We can iron it out completely, like a cloth. Let us work in such a way that when we have ironed our sheet we can even conceal seams. In fact, we can make the whole sheet seem to be made out of one big cloth. God is in us and we are God. It's all one, so don't worry".
Another way to cover the gap is to try to eliminate discomfort. The modern world has provided us with all sorts of conviniences: television, beautiful parents, lots of toys to play with, automobiles, and so on. There are notices everywhere offering entertainment and telling us how to handle ourselves. Even while we are flyingin an airplane, we have food to entertain us. The world has provided all kinds of entertainment to make us feel better, to make sure that we do not feel bad or lonely. When we board an airplane, the stewardess says, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you have a comfortable flight. Call us if you need any help". That is a theistic remark, and such remarks occur all the time.
On the other hand, we could act without guidelines. This possibility may be completely unappealing to people who are used to their luxury. Nevertheless, it is a very thruthful way to relate with things, and there is no room for deception. In this approach there is no hospitality; we have to provide our own hospitality. We have to work on ourselves. We are provided with kits, K-rations, booklets, and our own parachutes, and off we go.If we land on the top of a tree, we try to make the best of it; if we land in a gorge, we try to make the best of it. That is the nontheistic lifestyle: we can't do everything for one another. We have to make do for ourselves. We have to learn how to live with nature. So the nontheistic tradition is much harsher than the theistic tradition. It is very skeptical, unyielding, and somewhat outrageous.
We are not comparing Eastern and Western philosophies here, but theistic and nontheistic traditions, wherever they occur. We might hypothesize that Easterners think in a different way than Westerners, and that Eastern philosophy expresses this different style of thought. But philosophy is not that neatly divided into East and West. The basic thinking processes of the East and the West are the same. The only difference that exists is between the thinking style of ego and nonego. Failing to acknowledge that difference in style becomes a tremendous problem.
The standard approach to ecumenicism is to try to pretend that theism and nontheism are not different. But this is another theistic attempt to conceal the discomfort or the energy that comes from experiencing duality. We should be aware that differences exist. Then true ecumenicism, or continuity, can come about Because of the differences.
In comparing theism and nontheism, we are discussing different approaches to separateness. In the theistic approach, we know that things are separate, but since we don't like it, we feel we should Do something about it. We don't like the separateness; so we try to overcome it to the best of our ability, and that becomes an enormous problem. In the nontheistic approach, we also know that things are separate; therefore things are unified. Things are different, but that is not regarded as a problem. Fire is hot and water is cold, but still they can co-exist. Fire can boil water, changing it into steam, and water can kill fire. We should not be embarrassed about the functions of the universe.
We are still talking about energy -- energy and reality. And we are concerned with what actual reality is. Is reality a gap, a crack, or is reality a big sheet of cloth, all-pervasive. In the nontheistic tradition of Buddhist tantra, when we begin to have a relationship with the world, we do not try to make sure that the world is part of us. In fact, the question of separation does not come up at all. According to the nontheistic tradition, we do not believe ourselves to be creatures. We are some kind of being -- or nonbeing, for that matter -- but we were never created, and therefore we are not particularly creatures. Nevertheless, there is a sense of continuity, without hysteria, without panic, without any congratulatory remarks or attempts to smooth things out. The world exists and we exist. We and the world are separate from that point of view -- but so what? We could regard the separateness as part of the continuity rather than trying to deny it.
In the nontheistic approach, there is continuity, openness, and oneness -- but in the sense of zeroness rather than even oneness. The nonexistence of a dualistic barrier does not quite mean that we are one, but that we are zero. Nontheism is the basis for understanding that. Tantra is continuity, so the thread of tantra runs through our life from beginning to end. In a sense, the beginning is part of the end, so a complete circle, or mandala, is formed. The beginning is the beginning of the end, and the end is the beginning of the beginning. That continuity is tantra. It is the continuous thread of openness that we could experience throughout our lives. Because of that, whatever sense perceptions or realms of experience come up, we can work through them.
From this point of view energy is very simple, extremely simple: energy is separate from you; therefore, energy is part of you. Without You separateness cannot exist. That is the dichotomy in Buddhist logic: you have form; therefore you do not have form. You cannot have form if you do not have formlessness, if you do not acknowledge or perceive formlessness. In the same way, you exist Because you do not exist. Such riddles are regarded by Buddhists as the truth.
According to the tantric tradition of nontheism, energy is vital and important. Of course, in this approach we are viewing the world purely as a psychological process: if we do not have mind, we do not exist. The world comes out of our mind; it is created by our mind. From that point of view, working with energy, or developing siddhi, means that we do not have to depend on feedback but that we relate with life as straightforwardly and directly as possible. We relate directly to our domestic world, our enemies, our friends, our relatives, business partners, policemen, the government, or whatever happens in our life. We relate directly with energy as much as possible.
We are not talking about centralizing energy within ourselves, making ourselves into little atom bombs and then exploding. Working with energy in a tantric sense is a decentralized process. That is very important point. We are talking about energy as something spreading, opening. Energy becomes all-pervasive. It is all and everywhere. If we centralize energy in ourselves, we are asking for trouble. We will find that we become like baby snakes who are vicious and angry but still very small. Or we may find that we are like extremely passionate, horny little baby peacocks. So it is important to remember that, in Buddhist tantra, energy is openness and all-pervasiveness. It is constantly expanding. It is decentralized energy, a sense of flood, ocean, outer space, the light of the sun and moon.

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.

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.

This is a project I have done almost a year ago, but just got the printed book a few days ago.
It' s a book cover designed for one of mine professor's book called "Psihologija boja" or "Co-
lor psychology".
----The book itself explains history of color definition, perception and psycological influence of
colors on human mind. It also teaches designers how to use colors to get an specific emotion
from a customer or client, or simply how to use color for subliminal perception.
Book is written by one of mine college professor Igor Zjakić and his colleague Marin Milković.

September is oogstmaand op Landgoed De Peerdegaerdt, traditiegetrouw de maand dat het Strijense landgoed haar Plukfestijn organiseert. Vandaag vond de opening van dit Peerdegaerdts Plukfestijn plaats door ruim 130 leerlingen, waarvan 6 leerlingen het eerste kistje stoofperen hebben geplukt. Tijdens de kick-off van het nieuwe programma "Ieder in zijn kracht" werd dit kistje stoofperen door wethouder Ina van der Werf overhandigd aan Zorgwaard, zodat de bewoners heerlijke stoofperen kunnen eten.
In totaal kwamen zes verschillende scholen met hun leerlingen langs voor een ochtendvullend programma in de boomgaard van het landgoed. Jakoline van Bezooijen, werkzaam bij de Peerdegaerdt, vertelt enthousiast: «Op De Peerdegaerdt willen we mensen graag in hun eigen kracht zetten, door ze met de natuur in contact te brengen en te laten beleven hoe fijn het is om buiten bezig te zijn. Deze ochtend hebben we een heel gevarieerd programma voor de kids samengesteld. Zo gaan alle kinderen peren plukken, maar ook staat het maken van insectenhotels, pluizen van uilenballen, cartoons tekenen, zelf jam maken en het maken van je eigen moestuintje op het programma. Daarnaast leren de kinderen te praten met paarden, gaan ze olijfolie maken, wol verwerken en leren ze meer over bijen. We hopen dat de kids dolenthousiast en met mooie verhalen naar huis gaan.»
Aan het einde van de ochtend had voorzitter Bert Tuk van CSG de Waard gezorgd voor een bijzondere verrassing. Als dank dat elk jaar scholen van CSG De Waard tijdens de openingsdag van het Plukfestijn aanwezig mogen zijn, overhandigde hij aan de organisatie van het plukfestijn het gedicht "fruitoogst" van Ingrid van den Oord, dichter van de Hoeksche Waard. Ingrid was zelf aanwezig om dit prachtige gedicht voor te dragen in het zonnetje onder een ruim 100 jaar oude Zwijndrechtse Wijnpeer.
Mijlpaal zorgboerderij gemarkeerd door kick-off programma "Ieder in zijn kracht"
Tijdens deze openingsdag van het Plukfestijn werd ook een mijlpaal van de zorgboerderij bereikt middels de kick-off van het programma "Ieder in zijn kracht". Wethouder Ina van der Werf nam de honneurs waar door kort in te gaan op het belang van kleinere zorgaanbieders, zoals zorgboerderijen. De wethouder zegt hierover "We zien kleinere zorgaanbieders vaak een ander soort dagbesteding aanbieden, als waardevolle aanvulling op de wat grotere reguliere instellingen voor dagbesteding" en refereert hierbij naar het nieuwe programma "Ieder in zijn kracht" dat de zorgboerderij van De Peerdegaerdt vandaag tijdens de opening van het Plukfestijn gelanceerd heeft. "Dit past bij de visie van de Peerdegaerdt, waarbij gekeken wordt naar de mogelijkheden van alle mensen die hier door de poort komen".
Anneke Goud is sinds dit jaar de zorgcoördinator van De Peerdegaerdt en is erg enthousiast over het nieuwe programma "Ieder in zijn kracht". "We zijn dit jaar een traject gestart om een verdere professionalisering van onze zorgboerderij in gang te zetten. We hebben SPV-er en klinisch epidemioloog Patrick Leenen gevraagd ons hierbij te ondersteunen en zijn uiteindelijk uitgekomen op een structuur van ontwikkelpaden, welke gericht is op de begeleidingsbehoefte van onze cliënten. Vanuit onze thema’s Mens, Dier en Natuur hebben we de ontwikkelpaden vormgegeven, waarbij we een onderverdeling maken tussen laag complexe en hoog complexe werkzaamheden.
Op deze manier sluiten we veel beter aan op de ontwikkelmogelijkheden van de deelnemers van onze zorgboerderij. Het onderscheidende is daarnaast dat we hiermee gaan werken vanuit de begeleidingsbehoefte van individuele cliënten en niet zozeer vanuit een doelgroep benadering. Hierbij maken we gebruik van de positieve kracht van onze mooie locatie, waarbij de energie van de natuur voelbaar is en we mensen zoveel mogelijk willen uitnodigen tot een gezonde levensstijl."
Deze kick-off werd luister bijgezet door de overhandiging van het eerste kistje stoofperen door de wethouder aan Zorgwaard en een krat groentes voor het initiatief "Samen Eten" van Het Molenschaer.
Peerdegaerdts Plukfestijn
Het Plukfestijn gaat nog het hele weekend verder, waarbij ruim 50 vrijwilligers meewerken om van het Plukfestijn een succes te maken. Tijdens het Peerdegaerdts Plukfestijn staat het zelf plukken van fruit uit de karakteristieke hoogstamboomgaard centraal. Bezoekers zijn welkom tussen 11 uur ‘s ochtends en 17 uur ‘s middags zo lang het fruit voorradig is. Voor 10 euro kan een plukzak gekocht worden om het geplukte fruit mee naar huis te nemen. Bezoekers kunnen daarnaast kennis maken met het kweken van eetbare paddestoelen, communiceren met paarden en het maken van insectenhotels. Uit de veldkeuken komen heerlijke gerechten met ingrediënten van het eigen landgoed of uit de streek, die ter plaatse gekocht en genuttigd kunnen worden. Een kleinschalige ambachtelijke markt maakt het Plukfestijn tot een sfeervol geheel.
De Peerdegaerdt
Tijdens de landbouwcrisis in 1915 is de Peregaard in Strijen aangelegd. Een karakteristieke hoogstamboomgaard met oude rassen perenbomen, waarvan de aanwezige 100 jaar oude hoogstamfruitbomen nu nog steeds getuigen. Inmiddels is deze bijzondere plek dankzij een enthousiaste groep medewerkers en vrijwilligers uitgegroeid tot De Peerdegaerdt, een Landgoed Nieuwe Stijl, waar natuurbeleving centraal staat. De zorg- en activiteitenboerderij is één van de kernactiviteiten die afgelopen jaren op De Peerdegaerdt is ontwikkeld.

This is a photograph from the finish of the second annual running of the Fr. Murphy Athletic Club 10KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday March 27th 2016 at 11:30. This road race also features the Meath 10KM Road Race Championships which is open to entry from any athlete who is a full member of a Meath AAI club. The race starts and finishes in the village of Kildalkey and follows a right handed rural route out towards Rathcormick, Ballivor and Moyrath before returning on the same 2KM as the start which runners will easily remember as a long straight stretch of road. The route brings the runners through beautiful Meath Countryside on low-traffic country roads. The conditions were not very suitable for road running with a very stiff breeze and cold dry conditions. The 10KM version of this race replaced the traditional annual 5 Mile road race which was promoted by the Fr. Murphy athletic club and was held previous in Athboy on St. Patrick's Day, then Ballivor before a move to Kildalkey on Easter Sundays. There was approximately 150 participants in the race with a very large support from athletics clubs in Meath.

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.

London is such a great walking city - and with a hikers body (long legs, strong back, weak mind) I can walk there all day - but I sure feel it at night any more. I was in London for a few days in January 2013 and it was like coming home to an old friend since I've been there so many times but there is always something new to see. On this trip I just bopped from place to place without any real plan as to what to see - and it turned out fine!

This is a beautiful blue roan wild horse, now captive at BLM's Broken Arrow facility.
I briefly caught this glimpse of him, as the wagon we rode in, quickly passed him by. He seems to question what we are there for, maybe to take him home? His hopes sorely diminished in the fleeting moments racing by him. I think he could sense, that we were not about all this pain & suffering, and maybe, just maybe we could help him.
My girlfriends little four year old grand daughter looked at this image, and exclaimed, "He looks sad". ; ((
How I wish I could have returned him to his wild freedom on the range. ; ((
Help stop the roundups, the persecution of America's wild Horses & burros must end. In the meantime, adopting one of these beautiful spirits is an option, even if you don't have room at home! Its doable!
I rescued/adopted a wild mare, a medicine hat paint from BLM. Its one of the best things I ever did in my life! She is living free again at The Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown,California. I am forever grateful to Diane Nelson & the board of directors for accepting her, as the sanctuary is always full. You can sponsor a horse at the sanctuary if you wish to help in the care of those living there, FREE AGAIN!
Save a wild horse or burro today! <3

This is a 32 page in house document document in a 20 ring binder with 8x10 glossy photos and hand typed pages. Called "Kodak presents the Kodak Chevron Camera". The first 17 pages describe the Chevron camera, the rest are covering the Pony 135 model B, Bantam Rangefinder, Brownie Holiday and the Signet 35. I assume this was an in house project that was supposed to become a printed brochure or catalogue. But never made it to the printing press. Or at least I have never seen a printed version. I am not sure why they did not amend the title to include the other cameras described
This shot is cropped down from a shot that just didn't work. It took me a while to see that crop and to see that it could work. Sometimes I'm blind.
I haven't seen Jen since she asked me to do her vampire photoshoot back in September 2009! We have another shoot planned now, but this time it's my concept. Haven't scheduled it yet, so don't expect anything too soon. I have another "theme" photo planned for the weekend, though.
In case you give a damn.
Coming soon: A return to dreary monochrome building photos with dramatic clouds.

This is a very recent arrival in Essex, UK with records over the last 4 years from Layer Marney and Writtle. Thanks to John Clifton of ALS for the ID. As far as I am aware in autumn 2011 there are no records yet in Norfolk and only one in Suffolk. The larvae feed on Bristly Ox-Tongue. It is likely that it will spread rapidly with such a common food plant.
