I have no idea what these are - they were growing in a large pot at a local park.

Temporary snow melt flooding allowed for this reflection of the Brainerd Local zipping west to serve the mill in Brainerd for the last time. By the time I was on my way back this was nothing more than a black field.

Local market in Sheki (Azerbaijan).
Sheki.
Situated 700m above sea level, like an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains and forests of oak trees, Sheki rises above fertile yaylags (pastures) and fields. The area is very picturesque, with narrow gorges and green valleys, springs, water falls and mineral water springs framed by dense woods and alpine meadows. In the town, you'll see old brick houses, shaded streets, weeping willow trees and canals carrying spring water. The original settlement dates back to the late bronze age. Once we enter recorded history, invaders were frequent visitors. Its name is believed to originate from the name of saks tribe that arrived in Azerbaijan in VII B.C. The city became very well known as a center of Sakasena region of Alban kingdom. When Christianity spread in the Caucasus, Sheki became one of its important centers. During the 7th century Sheki was taken by arab invaders becoming dependent on a local emirate - Sheki suffered from Arab-Khazar war for 150 years. However in the 9th century with the weakening of arab power a Christian state was re-established by the last remaining forces of the Albanian kings. It was later taken by the Shirvanshahs, the Mongols under Tamerlane and the Safavids. By the 18th century Sheki was capital of its own Khanate, only to be taken by the Russian Empire in 1805. Following the Russian revolution the Red Army eventually only took Sheki in 1920.
Sheki is long famed as a silk centre and an important stop on the silk route, Sheki is still the site of a huge factory that was once the Soviet Union's largest silk plant (such a big factory was naturally named after Lenin... - now ask for the 'ipek kombinat'). In its golden period the factory employed over 7.000 (out of a population reaching almost 100.000). Nowadays the silk industry is still alive, but through smaller private workshops. The agricultural activity is quite important, with tobacco, grapes, grain, nuts, cattle and milk as the the main products.

From Sept. 7 through 9, 2007, we visited Chapel Hill, N.C. for "Camp Carolina," a three-day special event from Southern Foodway Alliance. It was an amazing three days, starting with a delicious local food, beer and wine reception at the classic The Carolina Inn (where we also stayed) through lectures, field trips and lots of opportunities for delicious Southern Food.
One of the highlights of the trips for me was meeting john T. Edge, one of my favorite food writers, who heads up Southern Foodway Alliance. I have all of John T.'s books, including "Southern Belly," "Fried Chicken," "Doughnuts" and "Hamburger." I had him autograph my copy of "Southern Belly."
John T. is an awesome guy and so passionate about his work. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and getting to know him.
Over the course of the next couple of days, we did several great things, including visiting the Carrboro Farmers' Market. This huge, seasonal market was amazing and filled with producers offering produce of all sorts, pork, beef, poultry and dairy, as well as prepared foods like jams, jellies and relishes.
We were fortunate that during our visit there was a special event - Southern Fare: Six Farm Fresh Recipes from Six Local Chefs who regularly shop at the market.
These chefs included:
Kevin Callaghan of Acme
Damon Lapas and Jonathan Childres of The Barbecue Joint
Charlie Deal of Jujube
Bret Jennings of Elaine's on Franklin
Amy Tornquist of Watts Grocery
Andrea Reusing of Lantern Restaurant
Speaking of Lantern Restaurant, later during our trip we visited for an incredible meal. The menu, written with the farm-to-table concept in mind, comes from chef Andrea Reusing, who also heads the local Slow Food USA chapter.
More food we loved came from Allen & Son Barbeque, just outside Chapel Hill. This was classic North Carolina-style barbecue, and some of the best I've had. The smallish, single floor wooden eatery was filled with country charm. Green gingham tablecloths, super sweet iced tea, piquant vinegar-based sauce, creamy cole slaw and perfect pulled pork made it an especially memorable meal.
An incredible meal was also enjoyed at Bill Smith's Crook's Corner.
Other stops included the area Whole Food to look at their selection of local produce. We didn't stop by A Southern Season, a gourmet purveyor, on this trip, but it is almost always on my must-visit list whenever I am in town.

As far as I know '202 Fashion', the shop selling this 'I (heart) Cheryl Cole' jumper, is an local independent retailer who happens to trade inside Eldon Square. Cheryl Cole shows very public support for her home city of Newcastle, and in particular the suburb of Heaton where she grew up, namely from her seat as a judge on popular television entertainment programme X Factor. In return the city shows a support (if a little tongue in cheek) to the star. I feel that there's a local geordie allegiance going on here.

A local Mosque near my hotel call the Little Hagia Sophia, Over 90% of residents here are Muslim and Mosques dominate the landscape like church steeples dominate (or at least used to) Montreal's. The most important being the beautiful Blue Mosque which was a 3 minute walk from my hotel. Several times a day (I believe 5) there is a calling to Prayer from the speakers on the Minarets and although you do see people praying and women in head scarves (and occasionally in full Burkas) the city residents seemed somewhat neutral or more likely they are very private about how they express their religion. This overlay on the city was one of the most fascinating to me.
