“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― The Time Keeper
Of the photos that I took at the zoo today, this is my favorite. The rain came on suddenly. It was brief and heavy. Alissa is one of the zookeepers that simply keep doing their job, no matter what nature dishes out.
As part of the Festival of Flowers 2013 internationally acclaimed landscape architect, Craig Pocock, and well-known Nga Puhi artist Darren George combined their talents to create a state of the art, five metre high, installation. The artwork was named Kaitiaki or Keeper to give the people of Christchurch a guardian to watch over them and provide hope for the future of the city.
The site of the work was important in the concept behind The Keeper. Kaitiaki is the Maori word for Keeper and can be seen in the sculpture. This is significant in relation to the roles that the Botanic Gardens and the Canterbury Museum play in our community’s identify and well-being. The other word in the sculpture is Atua the Maori word for God. The significance of this word can be read in relation to the text carved into the façade of the Canterbury Museum, “Lo these are the parts of his ways. but how little a portion is heard of him.” (Job Chap.22 v14.)
The installation has a wooden frame made in sections with irrigation built into the felt-covered base. Holes were cut into the felt to take pots with potting mix and plants. The bottom section was hung first and it
built upwards from there. The Keeper will remain on-site for two years and will be replanted each time the annual beds in the Botanic Gardens are changed.

Just a side note............ My one year anniversary here on Flickr is in a few days. One year ago, i had a cheap point and shoot , i had no idea what HDR was or even how to take an image in manual mode, three cameras later , i am still learning each and everyday. Just want to thank all of you for your great support and friendship!!! I feel honored to view and comment on your great work. So again Thank you for the 175,000 views and 124 Explored photos. Your CC has been so helpful, you know who you are out there. Have a great week everyone, and most of all your wonderful words have been the high point in my rather crappy year.
Interesting Info
Construction on the lighthouse was authorized by the Second United States Congress, under President George Washington in 1792. Construction began on June 7, 1796, and was completed on November 5, 1796. The lighthouse and adjacent Camp Hero were heavily fortified with huge guns during World War I and World War II. Those gun emplacements and concrete observation bunkers (which are also at nearby Shadmoor State Park) are still visible.
It was the first lighthouse in New York State, and is the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States. The tower is 110' 6" high. The current light, equivalent to 2,500,000 candle power, flashes every 5 seconds and can be seen a distance of 18 nautical miles (33 km)
I did not want to make anyone think that I was against the mule rides up to the towns. They all seemed well cared for. I have nothing against them at all, I just felt more like walking than making them haul me back up those stairs. Here is a photo I took of the mule keepers waiting for some clients. I took this on my iPhone looking back up the trail.
I came upon a lighthouse,
at the end of the road,
top of the highlands,
watching the tides come and go,
I looked for a keeper,
but there was none,
only the wind,
the clouds,
the woods and the sun,
I asked the lighthouse if loneliness transpassed here on and on,
he smiled and looked around,
my friends,
my keepers,
he said,
are the wind, the clouds, the woods and the sun...........

While deleting some old photos, I was cleaning out a file labelled "Sort". Thought I'd keep this series. It was taking at a Photo show while testing some different modifiers. I didn't get her name.
Keeper's Pond is a man-made lake in Wales, also known as the Forge Pond or Pen-ffordd-goch Pond, located on the edge of the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. Originally built in the 19th century to supply water to the Garnddyrys Forge, it is now a popular spot for outdoor activities like walking and wild swimming, offering scenic views of the Brecon Beacons, particularly the Sugarloaf mountain.
