Note that only about half the kilns have roofs. I talked to a county worker while I was there and he said the county simply doesn't have the money to preserve the kilns. They're falling apart and it is enormously expensive to stabilize them, let alone preserve them.
Bit late with my new year check in having not posted since mid December. Had a quiet Christmas and New Year some family time on Christmas day itself then I was pretty much on my own for a week or so after. To be fair I enjoyed the quiet time to myself in any case, as I very much prefer my own company.
I did however head to Leeds first Friday last weekend for the first time in almost five years. As is me I hadn't organised to meet anyone and after attending a more casual event in the afternoon I found myself a little lost at sea on the night itself. I was about to jump ship as it were, but got stopped by someone who recognised me. Got chatting to her for a little bit which calmed my anxiety for a while (thanks Abbie) and then ran into a friend who I've known for a few years, and spent an entertaining evening with her and a couple of others until around about 4am when I eventually called it a night.
I really should know better than just turning up to these sort of things on a whim, especially as big gatherings (even with friends) are prone to turn my anxiety up to ten. I did also get recognised later on by a girl whose name I can't remember (and it was very loud where we were). But being recognised from my photos always makes me embarrassed and a little uncomfortable, (there's so many pics on here with me wearing sometimes very little) so hopefully I didn't come across as being too standoffish. I also happened to walk past her the following day (along with her friend, whose name I also can't remember) both of whom were looking somewhat more glamorous than I. Thankfully they either didn't spot me, or recognise me in drab old bloke mode.
Belated happy new year everyone

At the Nippombashi Street Festa 2014, in Osaka. Based on the manga "Death Note" (this is like the one cosplay I actually recognized, from having seen the movie version 9 years ago. well I mean it also helps the notebook actually has "Death Note" written over it)

"Thanks for your patronage. The compliments of E. S. German's Son, bookseller and stationer, 28 South Second Street, Harrisburg, Pa. Please call again"
From the "Business Notes" section, Publishers Weekly, Aug. 27, 1881, p. 214:
"Harrisburg, Pa .--E. S. German's Sons, booksellers and stationers, have dissolved partnership. Philip German continues, under the name of E. S. German's Son."
Note the tiny insect on one of the seeds.
The background bokeh is sugar maple leaves, in the city they tend to stay on the trees longer than in the rural surrounding areas, which are now pretty much devoid of leaves. This is a city garden near where I work.

NOW ADRIFT IN THE WAKE OF THIS GLORIOUS SLAUGHTER,
HE'D SEEN MANY A SOUL CLEANSED IN FILTHY WATER.
SEEN GODLESS MEN REACH OUT FOR THE BIBLE,
AS LEAD TORE THE FLESH FROM BOTH FRIEND AND RIVAL,
SOON HOME TO THE JOY AND CELEBRATION OF KIN,
DRUNKEN SLAPS ON THE BACK AT A FAVOURITE INN,
BUT HEAVY IN HIS POCKET LIES A SMALL PIECE OF CARD,
AND THE NOTE WRITTEN ON IT WILL BREAK A MOTHER'S HEART.

FYI, this is not the way to leave a note to avoid a parking ticket. I found this in my archives and it came from a buddy who works in parking enforcement.

From the China's Tibet collection. See the link for all photos and the book.
_____________________________________________________
Tibetan man at a pass near Nyalam in Tsang. Whenever you cross a high pass like this one (probably about 5000m or so) there are huge amounts of prayer flags draped all over the place, something of a thank you to the gods (tibetan buddhism is much more shamanistic than I had realised!) for allowing safe passage.
It's also worth noting that Tibetan men are usually stereotypical cowboys, they wear these fantastic wide brimmed hats during the summer. It took me about 3 days to realise how burnt my lips were getting in the dry, thin air and the glaring high sun and buy one. Even if it made me look like Indiana Jones.
Here is an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again
I just made this from a Moleskine Cahiers mini-note book, and I've already put it into play. There are 6 parts to a WUP - which can be any kind of notebook, pda, tape recorder - you just have to use it!
1. Carry it everywhere - memory faulty, pen and paper, reliable.
2. Scan - the world and write down what you see, without comment or judgement. Observe, don't judge.
3. Eavesdrop - listen to what people are talking about - live, radio, TV - don't judge, just listen, and write it down.
4. Ponder - read over what you've seen/heard and think about it. Write down some implications.
5. Talk about it - bounce your thoughts off others - everyone who matters - who are observing and interacting, too. Here's what I'm seeing/hearing/noticing - and kick it around together.
6. Do something about it! Stick out your neck and try something new.
The concept is from Radical Edge, by Steve Farber - excellent book on how to stoke your business, amp your life and change the world. How could I not want to do those three things?
