Grandmother Canzler gave them all a lecture about the dirtiness and danger of the alley and insisted that they only play in their back yard. She went on and on about how inappropriate it was to be outside of the fence at their age. She also added that she would tie them to the clothes line if they were her children.
The boys, Honey (the dog), and Harriet listened attentively.
(My grandmother actually did that to my father as a toddler!!!! Today, CPS would get involved. She was actually a great mother - most of the time).

Mon budget vacances passe dans les livres. A chaque histoire je m'évade dans des pays lointains et dans des endroits plus proches mais toujours avec autant de plaisir à "voyager" ....
Je vous souhaite à toutes et tous un bel été et continuez à bien prendre soin de vous et de la planète.
This is Garn Ddyrys, site of the first significant ironworks of the industrial revolution. The pool in the foreground is made-made, being the reservoir of water used to cool the molten iron when it was poured out of the furnace into the molds as 'pig iron'. There is no longer a pool here normally, but the recent rain has partially refilled it.
Where the two sheep are you may be able to make out a gap in the wall. This is the outflow for the pool, where water was drained off into the ironworks which sat immediately downslope from this pool. The pool was then maintained by a series of feeder ponds higher on the hill, including Keepers Pond, which is visible in several of my other photos.
As such, this is a very significant industrial heritage site, and is part of the Blaenavon World Heritage site.
In the background can be seen the peak known as Sugar Loaf, which 10 minutes previously had not been visible at all because of the hailstorm that preceded this photo.
'Lecture mode off'
A huge thanks to Brynn Tannehill, Morgan Thomas, and Val Popke for a fantastic panel discussion following my presentation on the value of (transgender) diversity in the military and to AFRL for hosting us. After the audience (and 6 VTC sites) suffered through an hour of me, they were delighted with 90 minutes of Q&A with Brynn, Morgan, and Val. The power of their stories, their authenticity, and their command of facts was incredible.
Our host, the AFRL Vice Commander, summed it up best by describing the audience. She said "I didn't see a single person look at their phone the entire time; they were enthralled." For 2.5 hours, that's pretty much the definition of magic these days.
(Val's not pictured as she had to run to an appointment prior to the crowd asking all their follow-up questions and draining out)
The inspired hill of Vézelay
The Burgundy hill of Vézelay, which French writer Paul Claudel named “eternal”, has been drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims (nowadays more likely tourists) since time immemorial. It has also drawn strife, battles and pillage: the big monastery was no less than six times destroyed by fire, and always rebuilt. Here, the Second Crusade was preached on Easter Day of 1146 by Bernard, abbot of Clairvaux, whom King Louis VII of France had summoned to be lectured on the sort of penance his royal person should submit to to atone for his many sins: Bernard chose the Crusade. Crusaders congregated here as well for the Third one, in 1190.
The history of Vézelay began around 850, when Count Girard de Roussillon founded a nunnery at the foot of the hill, in the locale now occupied by the village of Saint-Père-sous-Vézelay. Fifteen years later, the nuns had been replaced by monks for reasons that never reached us. What we know is that further to a Viking raid on Burgundy in 887, the monks took refuge at the top of the hill, in the remnants of a Roman oppidum, and never went down again.
Originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the monastery they built on the hilltop was placed in 1050 under the patronage of Mary Magdalene, further to the claimed transport of her bones from the Holy Land by a monk named Badillon. This so-called “transposition” was validated by the Pope, but the people of Provence rebelled fiercely against that ruling: it had indeed always been well known that the saint, who had been the very first, even before the apostles, to see Christ resuscitated, had left the Holy Land and come to France where she finished her life in the mountains of the Sainte- Baume, which were named after her. Her bones had been kept in the basilica of Saint-Maximin, the largest church in the whole of Provence.
Thus sanctioned by the Pope, and confirmed yet again by Pascal II in 1103, the claim of the Vézelay monks drew immense crowds (and brought enormous riches). The fact that they also claimed to have the bones of Martha and Lazarus were not for nothing in the considerable attraction the abbey had on a pilgrimage-hungry Christendom. However, the Provençal people were victorious in the end, when they revealed that the bones of the Magdalene, which had been hidden during the 900s as the Saracens drew nearer, were opportunely re-discovered in 1279. This time, Pope Boniface VIII found in their favor and that ruling was never overturned: the pilgrimage to Vézelay was dead, even though the big church kept its dedication.
The rest of the history of Vézelay is a long downhill walk. In 1537, the Benedictine monks are replaced by canons. In 1568, the Protestants seize the church and burn it again. Finally, in 1819, lightning strikes and sets the church aflame for the last time. When architect Viollet-le-Duc, mandated by Minister Prosper Mérimée, arrives on-site in 1840, the abbey church of Vézelay is but a gutted carcass, ready to collapse. That same year, the church was put on the first list of French Historic Landmarks (“Monuments historiques”) and restoration works were undertaken urgently; they were to last until 1861, and many other such works have been undertaken since.
The church was granted basilica status in 1920, and in 1979 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, as it is the starting point of one of the major Paths to Compostela, the Via Lemovicensis, so-named because it runs through the large city of Limoges.
On that day of June 2024 I went to Vézelay as a side trip during a photographic expedition for the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, one of the non-profit heritage organizations I work for as a pro bono photographer, it was raining. Therefore, I took no photo of the outside, but instead concentrated on the inside. Furthermore, a lot of what can be seen on the outside, including the façade and the tympanum, are re-creations of the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc, and thus much less interesting for our purpose.
Just as the southern portal in te narthex depicts scenes from the early life of Jesus (even events that took place before He was born), the northern portal, shown here, depicts scenes of His later life (and even after His death).
The top scene is the Ascension, while the lower register shows the story of the Disciples of Emmaüs through three different scenes: from left to right, the apparition of Jesus to the two disciples; Jesus breaking the bread; and the disciples returning to Jerusalem.
This portal is not quite as spectacular, artistically speaking, as the southern one, but it is still of great value.

Photo Lectures at the University of Aschaffenburg.
Today: Panorama photography. Students and me? Behind the camera :-)
We calculated all that necessary stuff:
- step width (according to Teta / view angle)
- aperture
- focus distance (according to the hyperfocal distance)
They did the pano by themselves, and it worked out pretty well. :-)
>>> Gear used:
Old, trusty EOS 500D with Sigma 10-20 zoom, on 10 mm. Tripod. Nodal point adapter from Rollei.
