Feeling nothing has become so easy like a life with horse blinders on . My brain consciousness goes numb from the reported daily comic display of the top 1% . An acidic fog has settled in obscuring the largest and the smallist of details and needs of the remaining 99 % . The essence of perserverance can be choosing to ignore or take refruge from the storm of money . Election of 2012.......
"Perserverance" awaits the rest of the train.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flat tires called Jobs, but if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perserverance, a driver called Will Power, you will make it to a place called Success. — at 大沼国定公園.
Slot canyons would be a common feature during this race. Sometimes there is water at the bottom, and sometimes they are dry. Some of them have wide, flat sandy bottoms that we can run quickly through, and sometimes they are so narrow, we have to get down on hands and knees to crawl through.
Here Aloysius is crawling through a slot canyon and needs to jump down to where I am. The dust thrown up is caught in the camera's flash and shows up as specks in this shot.

Had to do this in double-time so Flickr would load it. I like it better in real time, & uploaded it to YouTube that way.
Perseverance Fire Company No 13
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery
120 City Park Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana
circa 1840
The vaults of Perseverance Fire Co. No. 13 are erected at the entrance of Cypress Grove.
This tomb was designed by architect John Barrett in 1840.
Cypress Grove / Firemen's Cemetery was built on the banks of what was Bayou Metairie at the end of Canal Street in 1840. In 1841, the remains of firemen buried elsewhere in the city were moved to Cypress Grove. The entrance pylons and lodges were designed in the Egyptian style by Fredrick Wilkinson for a cost of $8,000. Many Protestant began to be buried here when the Girod Street Cemetery began to deteriorate. The cemetery is lined with Wall Vaults many of which contain the remains of volunteer firemen. There are also several large multi-vault tombs of volunteer fire companies such as Perserverance Fire Co No 13, Philadelphia Fire Engine Co No 14 and the tomb of Eagle Fire Co No 7. Elaborate tombs such as those of the Robert Stark and the WH Letchford families stand in the cemetery alongside the cast iron tomb of former mayor foundaryman, Charles L Leeds. One of the most interesting tombs, is the Soon On Tong Association tomb used as a temporary burial space of Chinese residents. The remains were once brought here for ceremony before being shipped back to China. The tomb of Maunsell White, veteran of the Battle of New Orleans and promoter of the use of hot peppers and pepper sauces (still used today), is buried here.

Here, there appears to be some school-sanctioned graffiti (art).

In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.
Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.

From Cambodia,
the beamish & beautiful
Roth works at a liquor
store with her sister on
Second Avenue in Long Beach.
She was slightly embarrassed
by my request to take her
picture, but agreed. Noticing the adorable photo of my son prominently featured in my wallet, she asked me about him, and though he's only six, asked, "Man.. or Woman?" I said he was a little boy.
When
asked her for her name,
she said what sounded like
'Raut.' "Raut," I asked?
No, "Roth," she corrected,
pointing to the name on
a bottle of liquor on
the shelf behind her, as she
and her sister giggled.

I fell in love at the sight of this majestic church. For me, this architecture is a major feat of human perserverance. Kudos 2 Dresdeners!

I have to admit it is exciting when my pictures have made it on Explore regardless of the ranking and they were all taken by my well loved P&S. Well 44 out of 45 made it on Explore by me but AC's capture of the "Rays of Christmas Hope" were taken by her. Thanks to all that viewed the pictures . . . Have a great new year ahead!
