I had an opportunity to be an observer of a Prescribed Burn training exercise. Many agencies took part in this event, with more than 100 people present. This young man participated along with other Native Americans in a ceremony and small test burn.
A pow wow (also powwow or pow-wow) is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities. The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning "spiritual leader". A similar gathering by California Native Peoples usually in the fall is called a Big Time.
Texture Ipiccy.

(Well, save for a few who had places to go!)
Thank you all for taking on this challenging golf course this summer! I'm certain the next time you face this, it'll be laughably easier! (It's always intimidating the first time!)

76006 is surrounded by tour participants at Penistone during a photo stop on the LCGB "Christmas Tommy" railtour of 30th December 1980.
Chaotic scenes at Penistone when the train halted for a photo stop with 1Z09 09:13 Liverpool - Wath LCGB "Xmas Tommy" railtour. The group ran a final tour over the line in April - the "Easter Tommy" before it closed.
And of course there’s the little discussed fact that the “Tommy’s” were only ever the class 77s - the 76s were just Bo-Bo’s 😏
The most spectacular ritual of Vanuatu is probably the naghol or land diving practised in the southern part of Pentecost island. It has both an initiation and an agrarian significance as it takes place in April and May just after the first yams have been harvested. The men throw themselves from the top ofa tower built of branches that can be up to 30m high. Pieces of vine tied around their ankles prevent them from hitting the ground and killing themselves. Each man builds his own jumpingplatform a sort of diving board at his preferred height and cuts his own length of vine. The pieces of vine are carefully chosen: if they are too dry they will snap and if they are too long the man will hit the ground and kill himself. The ground around the tower is cleaned and softened because the divers' heads must lightly brush the ground. On the day of the dives the men and women of the village gather at the base of the tower. The men sing and sway in a hypnotic movement while the women merely dance with Croton leaves in their hands
Between 20 and 60 men will perform the land dives. The youngest go first. Their platform is set at a modest height. The most experienced and the boldest go last and dive from the top of the tower. The divers balance themselves on the edge of their platform concentrate and lift one or both arms to the sky. Some make short speeches to the spectators. Then they dive with their arms crossed over their chests and their knees bent. Somewhat groggy on their arrival on the ground they are helped to their feet and praised by the spectators who chop off the remaining vines from their ankles with a machete.
Le rituel le plus spectaculaire du Vanuatu est probablement le saut dans le vide, ou naghol, pratiqué dans le sud de l’île de Pentecôte. À la fois rite initiatique et agraire, il a lieu aux mois d’avril et de mai, peu après la récolte des premières ignames. Les hommes se jettent du haut d’une tour construite en branches, qui peut atteindre trente mètres. Ils sont attachés aux chevilles par des lianes qui leur évitent de s’écraser au sol. Chaque homme construit sa plate-forme, utilisée comme une sorte de plongeoir, à la hauteur de son choix. Il coupe à la longueur nécessaire ses lianes. Le choix de la liane est d’une importance critique : trop sèche elle peut se briser, trop longue elle peut entraîner la mort. Le terrain, au pied de la tour, est nettoyé et amolli car le crâne du participant doit effleurer le sol. Le jour du saut, hommes et femmes se réunissent au pied de la tour. Les hommes chantent en se balançant en un mouvement hypnotique tandis que les femmes, feuilles de croton à la main, se contentent de danser. Entre 20 et 60 hommes vont s’élancer dans le vide. Les plus jeunes débutent. Leur plate-forme est située à une hauteur modeste. Les plus expérimentés ou les plus audacieux passeront en dernier et se jetteront du sommet de la tour. Les sauteurs se tiennent en équilibre au bord de leur plate-forme. Ils se concentrent, lèvent un bras ou les deux vers le ciel. Ils peuvent aussi adresser un petit discours à l’assistance. Puis ils se jettent, les bras repliés sur la poitrine et les jambes fléchies. Légèrement groggy à son arrivée au sol, le sauteur est remis sur pied et fêté par des assistants qui coupent ses lianes à l’aide d’une machette.

If I have confused you my friends and contacts, I apologize! I was really getting tired of that image of me so felt I needed a picture of my boss, my master, the CEO. Picking Leo was easy, he is younger, better looking, a people magnet and my best Bud.

125 participants started from the Badstrand in Vlissingen on Saturday 20 August 2022 . Once in the water, they had to deal with strong waves…
The heroic swim between Vlissingen and Breskens was last held in 2014. And that was the first time in fifty years.
Between 1930 and 1964, the swimming race for the Scheldt Cup was held regularly, but that stopped because shipping traffic on the Western Scheldt became too busy.
It is quite a logistical operation to allow all those water rats to swim safely to the other side. Shipping (including to and from Antwerp) is not allowed to pass for two hours.
The distance over the Western Scheldt is about six kilometers.

125 deelnemers gingen op zaterdag 20 augustus 2022 van start op het Badstrand in Vlissingen. Eenmaal in het water kregen ze te maken met stevige golven …
De heroïsche zwemtocht tussen Vlissingen en Breskens werd voor het laatst in 2014 gehouden. En dat was voor het eerst in vijftig jaar.
Tussen 1930 en 1964 werd de zwemrace om de Scheldebeker regelmatig gehouden, maar dat stopte omdat het scheepvaartverkeer op de Westerschelde te druk werd.
Het is een hele logistieke operatie om al die waterratten veilig naar de overkant te laten zwemmen. De scheepvaart (o.a. van en naar Antwerpen) mag namelijk twee uur lang niet passeren.
De tocht over de Westerschelde is ongeveer zes kilometer.
