At Lowestoft this local traditional Broads One Design fleet gets together for sea racing.
Extracts from the Broads One Design website,
"The BoD, (Broads one Design) was designed by Linton Hope in the early 1900's and is still sailed to this very day in different countries across the world.
The BoD is more commonly known as a Brown Boat due to the first yachts having varnished hulls.
Although there are still some original wooden BoD's in competive sailing to this day, most are now built using fibreglass hulls, however all are true to the original design to allow for a competitive sailing.
This is my local Starbucks, only a two minute walk from where I live and where I'm treated like Her Majesty, The Queen of Customers. I asked the Manager here about the lights and the rules of photo taking and was told that the logo, the lights and people are all okay but the machines, the display board and the merchandise shelves are off limits. That makes more sense.
Oh, and this is a "Wind" store. Apparently in honor of Hsinchu, also known as the windy city.
In places like Tetepare, natural history is helping to bridge the gap between discovery and rediscovery. Through a combination of science and traditional knowledge, natural history is providing Tetepare’s customary landholders a mutual language that they can use to rediscover and legitimize their indigenous history and empower their beliefs. Working with the Tetepare Descendants' Association and their rangers to strengthen and expand existing community-based monitoring programs, the Museum’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation strives to empower these local communities to steward everything that is unique and mysterious to Tetepare.

Doing a lot with a little~
This is a plain paper print of an old photograph. It is taped to the inside of the front window of a modern store on Main Street. Several stores featured these as one walked along the street, each showing information about a largely vanished Buchanan, VA--although happily many of the structures still stand, now used for other purposes.
The librarian told me these were left over from a Civil War reenactment celebration several weeks ago. She said also that they were proving so popular that perhaps they would remain in place.
What a simple way to bring history to Main Street!!
