Coca-Cola used to have a bottling plant in Mattoon, Illinois, but it closed years ago. The building still stands and is used by a refrigeration business. However, carved in stone over the front entrance to the building is this reminder of what was here for a few decades.
A lasting memory this summer was the tragic terrorist attack in Norway. I took this picture before the massacre but it made me think of what happened.
This is my contribution to the Swedish photo project Fotosöndag (Photo Sunday). This weeks theme is "sommarminne" (eng: memory of summer)

Parcevall Hall Gardens are a lasting testament to the remarkable insight of Sir William Milner (1893-1960), 8th Baronet of Nun Appleton, nr York; who in 1927 began on a project to rebuild the derelict 16th /early 17th century shell of Parcevall Hall at Skyreholme, near Appletreewick in North Yorkshire.
Sir William, although standing at a formidable 6’7”, had the reputation of being a gentle giant and despite his title, and having HRH Queen Mary, a frequent visitor to Parcevall Hall, as his Godmother, he was a reluctant socialite.
The final major project of Sir William’s lifetime was as a founder member and second Honorary Director of the Northern Horticultural Society (1955-60), pioneering the establishment and development of Harlow Carr Gardens, near Harrogate.
Once completed, the Hall was to become Sir William’s home for thirty years and he continued to develop the gardens up to his death. Sir William took full advantage of the geography to create a unique garden that provides year round interest.
As a gardener Sir William chose his site wisely. At the top of the gardens the alkaline soil overlays the limestone rock and at the foot of the hill the soil is acid over gritstone, which makes it ideal for a wide range of species and many of Sir William’s hybrid rhododendrons.
For the horticulturist an extensive range of specialist plants flourish throughout the year. This includes an interesting collection of old apple varieties. A wide variety of alpine and woodland plants, unusual perennials and many specimen trees and shrubs.
Visitors will find formal terraces provide vantage points from where they can pause to appreciate the stunning rocky outcrop of Simons Seat
The structured areas are balanced with woodlands that are a haven for wildlife, inter-linked with many garden rooms to discover on the way. For the energetic, a Cliff Walk overlooking the limestone valley of Trollers Gill provides a dramatic vista.
After Sir William’s death the gardens declined up to the mid 1980s. A restoration program commenced; forever changing the gardens are enjoying a vibrant renaissance having been returned to its former glory
But the work does not stop there, the gardens continue to evolve.
The Hall itself is not open to garden visitors and since 1963, has been used by the Bradford Diocese as a retreat house and conference centre; its architectural features can be appreciated at close range from several vantage points.
Tandy (RadioShack) batteries - definitely Longer Lasting! Just look at the expiry date on the bottom, '10 2002'.
I removed these from a Tandy alarm clock last night and they are the original batteries...
Tandy (Radio Shack) stores closed down in the UK between 1999 and 2001, so these batteries must be at least 10 years old.

So much for Scotland’s lasting Commonwealth Games legacy!
Edinburgh's Meadowbank Velodrome, built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games, is to be demolished and luxury flats built on the site.
It is where many of Scotland's greatest cyclists started out, including Sir Chris Hoy and Craig MacLean.
Meadowbank has twice hosted the Commonwealth Games, in 1986 as well as ’70.
In the 1970 Games Scotland’s Brian Temple won silver in the 10-mile scratch race. In 1986, Scotland’s Eddie Alexander took bronze in the sprint, while England’s Colin Sturgess won silver in the individual pursuit and Chris Boardman led England’s team pursuiters to bronze.

The 10 Best High-Mileage Cars
The 10 vehicles that last longest with proper care are:
The Acura RDX is on the list for its initial quality and mechanical reliability along with the above-average durability ratings from Consumer Reports.
The Chevrolet Avalanche, a pickup truck and full-size SUV combination powered by a hefty V8, receives good marks from Consumer Reports and Forbes. Sadly, it is being discontinued after this model year.
The V6-powered Honda Ridgeline is more for active families than it is a work truck.
Lexus RX 350 is a midsize luxury crossover SUV that has been well received by critics and drivers alike.
The tiny Mazda MX-5 Miata is a fun ride that can last as long as you do not mind climbing in and out of such a low-slung roadster.
The so-ugly-it-is-beautiful Scion xB continues to sell well for good reason; it’s a dependable ride with plenty of cargo capacity.
The subcompact Scion xD hatchback is on the list for the same reasons that its uglier, older cousin is.
The Toyota 4Runner is a midsize SUV that has built a strong reputation of being a tough vehicle that performs as strongly off-road as it does on the pavement.
The smallish Toyota RAV4 crossover is just the ride for a young family.
The Toyota Yaris is a subcompact that can be had as either a two- or a four-door hatchback. It’s simple approach to the road gives it less opportunity to go bad.
It takes more and more patience, but its still possible to find some pretty nice roses in the Maplewood Rose Gardens....Conveniently located a block away from an awesome waterfall!

How many days I´ve been living in this space as an outer piece of it?
More than two thousand days I´ve been here. First, I painted the furniture and then I have added layer upon layer of thoughts, emotions, actions
I have moved objects around the room, I have cleaned and enjoyed special celebrations and random meals. I´ve been sitting there with friends and family and even with my cats, I have laugh a lot and cry a bit. (...)
