Scott is a linguist and historian who speaks several different ancient languages, including Gaelic, Welsh and Russian. He was explaining to me the fine differences between Scottish Gaelic, Ulster Irish, Munster Irish, Argyll Gaelic and Manx when my cellphone rang and I was called away. Before I left, I asked Scott for a few quick shots, and quickly explained the 100 Strangers project. I'm glad he agreed to be photographed.
Thank you, Scott, for being stranger number sixty-three in my 100 Strangers project. I wish I would have been able to spend some more time listening to the different dialects. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.

A Montessori Poem .... Today I did my math and language, practical life too, I used my eyes, my ears and hands, my senses the whole day through. I added and subtracted, learned patience all the day I used tweezers, blocks, and puzzles, And worked with the scrubbing tray. I learned how to mix colors, And learned how to weigh. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “DID YOU BRING ANY PAPERS HOME TODAY?” You see, I’m sharing as I play, Learning self-control throughout the day, I’m learning to listen and speak clearly when I talk, To wait my turn and when inside to walk, To put my words into phrases, To balance along the “Red Rod” maze, To find my name and write it down, I do it with a smile, not a frown. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “WHY DON’T YOU HAVE ANY PAPERS TODAY?” I learned about a snail, I learned about a worm, I learned about flags and maps, And how to take a turn, I helped a friend when he was stuck, I learned that water runs off a duck. I looked at words from left to right, Agreed to differ, not to fight. Today I sang the continent song, I learned the difference between right and wrong, So mom and dad, please don’t say, “DID YOU ONLY PLAY TODAY?” Because yes, I played the whole day through, I worked to learn the things I do, Encounter a problem, find the clue and work it out for myself, I do. My teachers set the scene and stand near-by, They want me to succeed and teach me how to try. They pose the questions, and help me to think, They keep me afloat and would never let me sink. So don’t get discouraged and frustrate me, I try my best and I’m learning each day. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “HAVEN’T YOU DONE ANY WORK TODAY?” -Author Unknown-

A fascinating bi-fold English language tourist brochure to "Neighbouring Zeeland", the Dutch province, and issued by the National Tourist Office that was then based in Den Haag/The Hague. With fine colour covers, it gives many details of travel, transport, locations and destinations in the province that forms the south western extremities of the Netherlands. At the time the province had direct ferry services to England via the lonstanding Flushing/Vlissingen to Folkestone steamer services that are heavily advertised in this brochure; however it is a tipped in notice, issued by the operator the Zeeland Steamship Company (Stoomvaart Maatschappij Zeeland) that helps give a date to the brochure. From 1 January 1927 the company's services transferred to Harwich and were then operated in conjunction with the London & North Eastern Railway's ferry services to the Hook of Holland/Hoek van Holland. This change somewhat renders much of the brochure's advertising slightly erroneous!
There are many other pages of information and adverts, a selection of which are scanned here. The busy central spread shows a mixture of information and photographs. The main feature is a route map of the Zeeland Company's Flushing to Folkestone ferry route indicating the safety of the route, 92 miles of sea, thanks to land features and seamarks such as lightships and lighthouses. Needless to say it is this page that has tipped to it the poster advertising the change in route from Folkestone to Harwich. The photos show the interior of the Grand Hotel Britannia in Flushing/Vlissingen, one of the SMZ's vessles, and a picture of local inhabitants outside the church at Koudekerke on Walcheren.
The Hotel, built in 1885 and renamed as the 'Britannia' in 1924, was used by the occupying German forces during WW2 and subsequently destroyed during the Allied Liberation of the Netherlands. A modern, brutalist structure was constructed to replace it but this was closed and demolished in c.2010.

Urmia (Turkish language: Urmu, Urmiyə, اورمیه; farsi: ارومیه) variously translitterated as Oroumiyeh, Orūmīyeh and Urūmiyeh, is a city in and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 577,307, with 153,570 households.
The city lies at an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chay river (City River). Urmia is the 10th most populated city in Iran. The population is mainly mainly Azerbaijanian Turkish(85-90%), with Kurdish, Assyrian Christian, and Armenian minorities.
Urmia is situated on a fertile plain called Urmia Plain, on western side of Lake Urmia; and eastern side of Turkish border and marginal range of mountains.
Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (especially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown. An important town by the 9th cent., Urmia was seized by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.

Taplan. 8 kms from border.
Taplan means “grass tree” in an Aboriginal language. Taplan railway siding and yards, the life blood of the town in early years, opened in 1913. Like most Murray Mallee railways it closed in 1992 and sadly the rail lines were removed soon after in 1995. The tiny settlement soon had a general store and Post Office which finally closed in 1982 but a community Post Office still operates. The town was in the midst of a grain farming centre. It was declared a town in 1913 and by 1915 Taplan had 35 adults on the local electoral roll. After World War One this increased as in 1919 the SA government bought 14,000 acres of scrubland near Taplan for a soldier settlement community. The land was divided into thirteen farms for soldier settlers who arrived in 1921. Few were successful and the land was sold to other farmers. In the early 1920s a number of German background Lutheran families moved to the Taplan district. Like most communities the locals soon wanted an institute for social events, meetings, weddings etc. The Taplan Institute opened in 1917. The building of the Institute caused a major community division. One person offered land for an Institute associated with the Institutes Association and another offered land for a Public Hall. The institute group won and work began on its construction in 1916. The Commissioner of Crown Lands opened the new Institute on 15 April 1917. The Taplan School opened in the first Institute in July 1917 with Isabella Oliver being the first teacher. The first Taplan Institute was not big enough for the community and a new Institute was opened by a local politician in 1924 which had been added on to the original Institute. It was still part of the Institutes Association but called the Taplan Hall. The new expanded hall was to be used for showing movies by the 1930s. Eventually the Institute became the Hall and it closed and was sold in 1994. A new government school building opened on July 25 1927 despite the sign saying 1929. This school room closed in 1967. The other public building of the town was St John’s Evangelical Lutheran church. Its dedication service was held in October 1923 but the Lutheran congregation was formed in 1918. Services were held in German and records written in old German script but a number of young Lutheran men joined the Australian forces in World War One to support king and country. Services and records continued in German until January 1940 when English was adopted for some services. But one service a month was still held in Luther’s German. From 1941 English language Bibles were in use. It was 1959 before the church became St Johns (not St Johannes) and English was adopted for all services including Holy Communion. The porch was added to St Johanne’s church in 1948. Taplan has a cemetery run by the Lutheran Church. Methodist Church services were held in the Institute in 1920s. The Lutheran Church recently closed and is now a private residence. Family names for burials in Taplan Lutheran cemetery are: Hampel; Jaeschke; Koch; Maudsley; Obst; Pech; Schneck; Teusner; Vogelsang; Zacher; Zimmerman. In 1982 the Tapalan Post Office and general store closed but a Community run Post Office now exists there.
In 2013 for the town’s centenary a stone cairn and plaque was unveiled at the site of the former railway station. Although Taplan is well above Goyder’s Line it is now fairly viable farming country. The grain farms that began with 2,000 acres or less in 1913 are now between 10,000 and 15,000 acres each. This increase in acreage led to rural depopulation and the new massively big computerised seeders, harvesters etc allow these farms to be run with just one or two people. The 1913 farms with their eight draft horse teams for seeding, ploughing and reaping usually had around 5 or six workers to run them. Farms around Taplan now produce viable incomes for those who remain here and throughout the Murray Mallee.
