MOSQUE OF THE EL JEBEL SHRINE TEMPLE (1770 Sherman Street Event Complex)
1770 Sherman St.
National Register 10/24/1997, 5DV.2892
This 1907 building, one of the best examples of Moorish-inspired architecture in Colorado, utilizes Middle Eastern architectural styles to create ceremonial spaces in keeping with the spirit and rituals of the Ancient Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The architects, the Baerresen Brothers, reached the pinnacle of their prolific practice with its design. The exterior is one of the best examples of Moorish-inspired architecture in Colorado, and the interior exhibits an incredible collection of architectural styles, ranging from Moorish and Egyptian to French Provincial, Elizabethan, and Arts and Crafts. No other interior space in the state surpasses the mosque for its high level of artistic detail and craftsmanship.
College of DuPage staff got an early look at the McAninch Arts Center following completion of a 14-month, $35 million renovation project. Work on the 25-year-old MAC began in fall 2012 and included updates to the facility's three performance spaces, construction of a new art gallery and outdoor patio stage, and improvements to the infrastructure and patron service areas.
This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon held at Lusk, Co. Dublin, Ireland on Easter Saturday, 19th April 2014 at 09:00. The race started and finished in the grounds of Lusk United Soccer Club (goo.gl/maps/luVz1). The marathon route followed four loops of a route around the back roads north of Lusk village. The rural roads were perfect for the marathon as there was very little traffic except some movement of agricultural machinery between various farms. This area of Co. Dublin is famous for it's vegetable growing industry. A water and feed station was provided at the end of the loop [here goo.gl/maps/A1JU1]. This was almost the perfect day for marathon running. There was little or no breeze. However temperatures were unseasonably high with temperatures close to 18C (64F) during the race.
The East Of Ireland Marathon Series aims to make marathons affordable and convienient for the runners of Ireland. The serires organisers aim to promote marathon running and to make the process as stress free and enjoyable as possible. All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys. However all finishing times are accurately and officially recorded. This is to keep the price down and keep the races as affordable as possible. The East of Ireland Marathon series is all inclusive and welcomes runners who are new to marathon running as well as experienced veterans.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

I am a big fan of women, they are nice to look at, they are often smiling and they smell good. Some of them even decide to have kids and to become a Mum, a great thing that we guys can't do, I mean, obviously, we're doing our share to make them a Mum, but they do all the hard work and suffer the pain, so they get all the props and compliments and they are well deserved. I'd like to thank all the Mums out there for the great job they're doing, you are the best, without you we'd be useless and lost :)
Happy Mother's Day to all you lovely Moms out there, enjoy your special day!

The origins of the Society are traced by some to about 1586 and the foundation of the College of Antiquaries. This Society seems to have dealt with 'antiquity' rather than 'antiquities' and to have been more in the nature of a debating society. It had the aim of establishing a 'cultural longevity' for England. In 1614, however, 'his Majesty (James I) took a little Mislike of our Society…yet hereupon we forebare to meet again…'
There are some indications of an informal society existing in the seventeenth century and at times the Royal Society (charter granted in 1662) displayed an interest in archaeology. It was not until the opening years of the eighteenth century that the Society was founded or, as some Society documents have it, 'refounded'.
Early meetings
The first minutes of the Society record that, on Friday, 5 December 1707, a meeting was held at the Bear Tavern in the Strand. The following January the Society agreed to meet in the Young Devil Tavern. The first President was Peter Le Neve, Norroy King of Arms, and it was agreed that the business of the Society should be the subject of antiquities, particularly as they related to the history of Great Britain. The period of study was that which pre-dated the reign of James I.
The Society encountered a few problems before it became firmly established, the bankruptcy of the owner of the Young Devil as well as matters of a more complex political, Jacobite nature. However, from 1717 the Society was established in the Mitre Tavern, Fleet Street, and there is a continuous series of minutes from then until the present day. The minute books of the Ordinary Meetings are still composed in manuscript.
The Royal Charter
In 1725 the Society moved to rented rooms in Gray's Inn, followed by rooms in King's Bench Walk and a return to the Mitre in 1729. Amongst the members was 'honest Tom Martin of Palgrave', whose 'thirst after Antiquities was as great as his thirst after liquors'. In 1736 the Society was presented with an iron mace to be laid before the President at each meeting, a practice which continues today, using a silver mace. In 1751 the Society was granted a Royal Charter and took on its present form.
The role of the Society was, and continues to be defined as 'the encouragement, advancement and furtherance of the study and knowledge of antiquities and history in this and other countries'. The basic structure of the governance of the Society, with the annual election of Officers and Council on St George's Day (23 April) was also put in place at this time.
Somerset House
The Society left the Mitre Tavern in 1753 and moved into the former Robin's Coffee House in Chancery Lane. In 1780 the Society again moved to new premises in Somerset House granted by George III . These rooms, which now form part of the Courtauld Institute Art Galleries, still have the intertwined SA monogram of the Society as part of the ceiling decorations.
Burlington House
The Society remained at Somerset House until 1874. From 1856 onwards, however, the growth of the Government Civil Service, in particular of the Inland Revenue, led to increased pressure on space in Somerset House and a move for the Society became inevitable. Although the Society was reluctant to move, it was offered a suite of purpose-built apartments in Burlington House, Piccadilly, designed by architects Banks and Barry, which would give it significantly more room than was available in Somerset House. The move finally took place in December 1874.
It was designed for a die hard Chicago Cubs fan and inspired by the ivy-covered right field wall at Wrigley Field - where he always sits. Now he can take his coat, along with his hopes of the Cubs ever winning and hang it up.
• Wrigley Field ivy in brushed steel
• Mirror etched with right field distance
• Custom coat hooks
• 20” h X 32” w
--testimonial-- “We needed a new coat rack and Riggs worked with us on some ideas…a consultative process to be sure! We were floored by the options he presented but living one block from Wrigley Field, the decision was easy. He transformed a wall coat rack into a work of art that truly reflects the personality of our home.”
— Billy I.

These are twining tendrils of native Wild Sweetpea (Lathyrus vestitus) in the Fabaceae plant family. I was thinking of this for the Macro Mondays assignment this week with the theme of "Fasteners" - see the description here. The tendrils do indeed fasten the plant to other plants (and itself), but the group describes a fastener as "a device that attaches something firmly to something else". I don't believe this counts because the tendrils are part of the things attached and not something extra, so I have to think of something else - but this is still a nice photo to post here!

Like yesterday, today was clear and warm - though there's still a breeze, and it's still chilly at night. I took my usual walk in the canyon. It seems that I really have to hunt for subjects to photograph right now.

The body consists of an authentic looking faux Mother of Pearl cabochon that glimmers with pearly opalescent colors. There are dozens of diamond like glass rhinestones inlayed in the wings, and two large Sapphire blue rhinestones in the center of the wings. These faceted “rhinestones” may be crystal because of their intense sparkle and vibrancy. This vintage brooch is not stamped or signed by the designer. The ladybug is solid metal, and feels a little heavy for it’s size. Looks like the metal may be gold plated, but I cannot guarantee this, because it has not been chemically tested, and there are no gold content markings.
The brooch’s pin, and locking clasp are in flawless condition, as well as the rest of the piece. This vintage estate ladybug / beetle brooch measures 1 1/8” long by ¾” wide.

As part of the August bank holiday heritage running days at Blackpool, it had also been arranged for some more special members of the as-yet inactive heritage fleet to see some sunlight and be the focus of camera lenses. And so here on Blundell street we see the two remaining members of what was possibly the most beautiful class of single deck tramcar to be built, the Coronation cars.
304 is the only surviving Coronation with it's VAMBAC control system still in place, and has seen use in the Beamish museum as well as having featured on Channel 4's Salvage Squad programme. 660 is one of the 'Z Car' conversions, having been fitted with control equipment donated from redundant English Electric Railcoaches, the controllers were Z-type controllers hence why the name stuck... the conversions shed some weight of the Coronations, whose weight more closely matched that of a small house than a tramcar! The VAMBAC system had been quite unreliable, not helped by the fact it needed lots of ventilation, and open vents for electrical equipment beside the seaside isn't a great mix, and so on almost all the Coronations the system was replaced. 660 is currently the only tram of the two which has a trolleypole fitted - but neither of them can as yet run on the system, as electrical transponders and other bits and bobs need to be fitted first
A wet and windy day at the Cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare Ireland. Desaturation of the cliffs to compliment the grey clouds. I like the almost black and white look. It is a 3 exposure HDR processed in HydraPro.
The Cliffs of Moher (Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north. The cliffs receive almost one million visitors a year.
The Legend of Hags Head
At the southern point of the cliffs, near the ruins of the signal tower there an unusual rock formation known as Hags Head. In Irish, this is called "Ceann an tSean Chailligh" or "Head of the Old Sea Witch".
Irish legend tells the story of an old hag called Mal who fell in love with the great Irish hero, Cú Chulainn. Sadly for her, Cú Chulainn did not return her feelings and in fact, he ran all over Ireland trying to get away from her! He finally escaped by jumping back to the Cliffs of Moher using the sea stacks as stepping stones (as only a legendary Irish hero could..)
Mal tried to follow him but she was not as nimble on her feet - she missed her footing and fell to her death at Hags Head where her blood is said to have stained all the sea.
The town of Miltown Malbay was named for her and the "Wave" at Loop Head was also called after her "Tonn Mhal,". This wave was said to raise a voice of unutterable anguish, foretelling death and disaster.
So... poor Mal definitely left her mark on the area if not on her man!
Card X of the tarot's major arcana, the Wheel of Fortune.
Symbolism: A carnival Wheel of Death substitutes for the more traditional wheel. The figure has quite literally put her fate in the hands of Dame Fortune. The daggers are potential perils to be overcome with a bit of luck and perhaps some advanced planning (the I Ching divination system that forms the card's background). The sphinx may be viewed as a challenge to be dealt with or alternatively as a guardian.The mandala forms are used in a loosely Jungian fashion to represent centeredness/wholeness/inner understanding (i.e. the preparation necessary to deal with the twists and turns of life and to take full advantage of any luck that happens by).
The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is situated beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Designed by the architect Senemut, the mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amon-Ra and is located next to the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, which served both as an inspiration, and later, a quarry. It is considered one of the "incomparable monuments of ancient Egypt.
De tempel van Hatsjepsoet, was gebouwd in Deir el-Bahari en was een huis van miljoenen jaren dat diende om de cultus van de overleden koningin verder te zetten.
De tempel is gedurende zijn verdere geschiedenis onderworpen aan verschillende beschadigingen. Zo heeft Thoetmoses III de tempel van Hatsjepsoet zwaar beschadigd toen hij probeerde haar naam te verwijderen. Onder Achnaton werden talrijke beelden van Amon vernietigd en onder Ramses II worden de Osirisbeelden verwoest. De Koptische christenen gebruikten de tempel als klooster en hebben daarbij de gezichten van de goden weggehaald.
