Luang Prabang (ຫລວງພະບາງ in Laotian or Louang Phabang), commonly transliterated into Western languages from the pre-1975 Lao spelling ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ literally meaning "Royal Buddha Image," is a city in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site. It was listed in 1995 for unique and "remarkably" well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage, a blend of the rural and urban developments over several centuries, including the French colonial influences during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The center of the city consists of four main roads and is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. Luang Prabang is well known for its numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. One of the city's major landmarks is Mount Phou Si, a large steep hill which despite the constrained scale of the city, is 150 meters (490 feet) high, a steep staircase leads to Wat Chom Si shrine and an overlook of the city and the rivers.
The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. It had also been known by the ancient name of Chiang Thong. It was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos, until the Pathet Lao takeover in 1975. The city is part of Luang Prabang District of Luang Prabang Province and is the capital and administrative center of the province. It lies approximately 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of the capital Vientiane. Currently, the population of the city as a whole is roughly 56,000 inhabitants with the UNESCO protected site being inhabited by around 24,000.

The Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary flight.
34 Spitfires and Hurricanes took off from Goodwood in the space of about 20 minutes, from 1400. Arranged in groups of three or four planes, they flew to various destinations in the South of England, visiting many towns and sites of significance in the Battle on the way. Three Spitfires headed north-east to fly to Bentwaters (Suffolk). They are seen here passing over the former RAF Martlesham Heath airfield at 15.08.
From top to bottom they are
Supermarine Seafire Mk IIIc PP972 (G-BUAR, Markings 11 5)
Supermarine Spitfire Mk Ia X4650 (G-CGUK, Markings KL A)
Supermarine Spitfire T9 ML407 (G-LFIX, Markings vOU)
This is a two seater, based at the former airbase at Bentwaters, near Woodbridge.
The pictures aren't really up to my usual standard, but were taken on a Canon compact camera, as I didn't really think there would be much opportunity for perfection!
Children of Chemistry - Imaginer les genres autrement - Sébastien Provencher / Danse Danse
Après plus d’une quarantaine de représentations à travers le Québec, Sébastien Provencher propose une version inédite et adaptée de l’œuvre Children of Chemistry dans la vitrine de l'édifice 2-22, immeuble à vocation culturelle situé dans le Quartier des spectacles de Montréal.
Children of Chemistry s’inspire des standards masculins et féminins véhiculés dans l’univers médiatique et dans la culture populaire.
Sur un ton humoristique et sarcastique, le chorégraphe joue avec les codes du genre pour relater les absurdités qui nous amènent à concevoir notre société de façon binaire.
D’abord créé pour 5 performeurs, cette adaptation en vitrine réunira 12 interprètes.

Thousands of Nurses Hold National Day of Action Aug. 5 to Save Lives During COVID-19 and Beyond
As firsthand witnesses and actual victims during this COVID-19 crisis of a health care and economic system that prioritizes money over people, registered nurse members of National Nurses United (NNU) held on Aug. 5 more than 200 actions inside and outside hospital facilities in at least 16 states and the District of Columbia to demand that our elected leaders, government, and hospital employers take immediate action to save lives.

You, the shepherd without a flock, and these Internal dialogs and my biological clock, painless deaths beyond the hearing of dogs, under the mole people, bought but not sold, rigermole instead of hyperbole, you dare to be you, dare to never grow old, returner to the hive, bedbugs not ballyhoo, up on studio 55, keeper of the flame broiled, forrestdweller and circus seller, and the not-so well oiled, the cream of the crop dusters, knowing without knowing how, making wood out of paper, a smile but never a bow, beyond the times and the art crimes caper, never knowing what to need but to be, anti-pride in creed and country, spanning the globe, mis-advice on wardrobe, freewheeling and drugless dealing, planning your past, you touch God and never speak again, making it never ever last, doing time in your prime and plenty of divinty until infinity, the zip code of ethics make you sleep, laughter makes you weep, morality you hold but dont keep, hip is for the weak, cool can't touch the geek, you fill no bill, you are your own free will, so old your new, lie to me and I'll say its true, reving it up and giving in to living it down, you are the circus's lost clown, the irrelevance of joy, manipulator of the force, stay gold pony boy, whats right isnt always air tight and clean outta sight, you say, you will stay on the horse, you will stay in the saddle, you will keep on going, keep on hoping, though you know its a losing battle, you accept this, but still, you will not give up the journey into all that cannot last, the road from future to past, you are a being of lies and truth - insight and air, the jewel from your youth, you want all that isnt fair, forget the banks use a sock,
you are the shepherd without a flock.

A folding pictorial map of the area covered by the Southern Region of the newly branded British Rail and giving details of resorts, destinations and attractions that could be reach by their services. It also gives details of fares such as the bargain "Leg-Room Special" fares alongside mid-week, Holiday Runabout, Rail Rovers and Group Travel.

The folder is not dated but the two route diagrams - maps - shown are dated to 1966. They show that various branch lines have already been pruned under the Beeching "Axe" and, of course, there have been many subsequent changes to routes and service patterns particularly in the London Suburban area such as Tramlink and Thameslink.
This is the diagramattic version of the Southern's extensive suburban network that covered much of South London and the adjacent Home Counties. Largely electrically operated this was one of the world's largest and busiest suburban and commuting networks serving the main city termini of Victoria, Waterloo, Charing Cross, Holborn Viaduct, Cannon Street and London Bridge. There have been some substantial changes over the years such as Thameslink, Tramlink between Wimbledon and Croydon and some other losses.

The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls. (The actual boats used are each named Maid of the Mist, followed by a different Roman numeral in each case.) The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. The tour is available starting from either the Canadian or American side of the river, returning to the starting point in each case.

I'm sorry, but I didn't take any other pictures tonight. Tomorrow's will be better. This app is truly going to save this project though.
I've never seen so much snow.
These aren't even my clothes, because I'm so out of my element.
Since the roads suck, no one is driving.. but everyone is walking.
And I don't understand why (us included) think it's okay to walk miles in snow up to our calves...
I don't know. Tomorrow. Good night.

"Funeral of President Lincoln Washington" from the MOLLUS-Mass collection, Volume 44, page 2200R
As I continue to experience issues with the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center search engine, in finding specific items in their collection, I thought it might be of benefit to others (i.e., Civil War photo buffs) to post this page, which contains four different views of Lincoln's D.C funeral procession of April 19, 1865. I've annotated how each image here relates to the negatives held by the Library of Congress.
The image in the lower left corner is the "missing" right half (left side in a red cyan anaglyph) to the Library of Congress call number LC-BH823- 145. The LOC does not indicate that this image is from a stereograph, and just looking at it, it appears to have a portrait oriented aspect ratio, different than the landscape oriented matching half seen here from MOLLU-Mass. After determining that they make perfect 3D, it's clear that the Library of Congress LH-BH823- 145 is from a 4x10 stereo glass plate just like the two full stereographs in their collection, LC-B815-1275, and LC-B815-1273.
If you view the LOC half on their website, it's also clear that some portion of this half stereo was cropped out (or broken and missing) in the scanning. Obvious because of the different aspect ratio and the width of the scene - the Capitol is almost totally cropped out on the right and on the left there are many more buildings visible in the MOLLUS-Mass print. My theory is that they only scanned what they thought was the useable portion of the half negative. It's also of note that the LOC scanned this half stereo at four times the resolution of a half stereo from either of their two full stereo 4x10 inch glass plates. If I was able to pick two negatives for the LOC to rescan at a higher resolution, it would be these two full stereographs (links below) due to the presence of the Bell & Bro photographers (with their cameras) atop the roof of their gallery, in the far distance.
All four images, seen here on this MOLLUS-Mass page were full stereographs, most likely all taken by the same camera.

Located about 850 miles west of mainland Portugal, the Azores archipelago is known for its rocky coastlines and low-hanging marine stratocumulus clouds. In 2013, ARM established the Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) atmospheric observatory on Graciosa Island, whose coastline is pictured here. The ENA observatory provides long-term data regarding the response of low clouds to changes in atmospheric conditions—a major source of uncertainty in global and regional earth system models.

This is a scan of one of the slides kindly loaned to us from Marcus Roberts for our recent Victorian photography/magic lantern exhibition. We have been trying to figure out the locations of the images we had no information on and now thanks to my latest Flickr contact, I can tick another one off the list.
Sadly we have no details of who the photographer was or the date/year, but at least we now know where it was taken.
Many thanks to Wendy for posting a photo of the Abbey in her photostream :)

I have put together 16 compilations here as a tribute to each of the following Iconic institutions for their contribution to rich cultural heritage of the Nation and to SPICMACAY, its founder Dr Kiran Seth and voluntaries who have been working tirelessly to initiate every child to understanding the nuances of the art forms and unravel the mysticism within.

GERMAN CONTINGENT OF HQ ARRC WATCH WORLD CUP FINAL
It was celebrations for the Germans of Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps as they watched the World Cup Final at Imjin Barracks, Innsworth.
Some of the Officers and Soldiers, and their families, of HQ ARRC’s German Contingent gathered together to watch their team beat Argentina 1-0 in the 2014 World Cup Final.
As the game progressed the excitement continued to build and the guys were on the edge of their seats throughout.
In the end their perseverance paid off and Germany won the game. Well done Deutsche fussball nationalmannschaft!
Please credit photographer.

The Garden of Remembrance is a memorial garden in Dublin dedicated to the memory of "all those who gave their lives in the cause of Irish Freedom". It is located in the northern fifth of the former Rotunda Gardens in Parnell Square, a Georgian square at the northern end of O'Connell Street.
Queen Elizabeth II laid a wreath in the Garden of Remembrance during her state visit in May 2011, a gesture that was much praised in the Irish media, and which was also attended, upon invitation, by the widow and daughter of the garden's designer Dáithí Hanly.
Members of the Class of 1989 gathered on campus from June 12–15, 2014 to celebrate their 40th Dartmouth Reunion.
