I'm an avid reader and I just finished reading my 352cnd book of the year on Saturday-The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa which is a haunting book (and also a bit of a book within a book) about the nature of memory and humanity both. Here's an NPR review:

hi you all! I am not dead if you where thinking that, just haven't had any time to upload stuff in a while.
Last friday night I got this assignment to photograph the police at work downtown Reykjavik. There has been allot of discussions here in Iceland about the violence that is taking place downtown every weekend. The police was trying to do something about it and had some extra men on watch. That night they arrested 40 people for fighting, braking bottles, peeing in public or showing the police disrespect. The disrespect was unbelievable and was the most shocking thing I witnessed.
This police barracks in Savannah, Georgia was opened in 1870 and is still in use today. The classic cars however are just for display.
Well - where is a Police Car when you need one ????
The Saturday Challenge is Bokeh Balls this week and for one reason or another getting out there and looking for them has not been easy . Therefore this silly idea came to me to have a police car come smashing through whole lot of blue lights in bokeh . I had a string of blue lights knocking about , so a shot of them out of focus was easy enough but have I seen a police car to get a shot of - no ?? Well I made this with a shot of police cars parked up about five or so years ago - so here is my imagination at work . However , the shot of the police cars is old so will not do for the challenge , so here it is just as a normal post today .
As it happens though , by chance for a shot for SSC did crop up last night - so all is not lost !!
Watch out !! Here comes the blues & twos !!
Early on Sunday morning hundreds of members of the Greek police force raided an unofficial refugee camp in the Greek port of Patras as part of a nationwide 'clean sweep" operation. The camp which has been in existence for nearly a decade was home to hundreds of immigrants, mainly from Afghanistan hoping to sneak aboard trucks headed for Italy.

Using bulldozers the local authorities razed to the ground the shacks and huts that until recently housed an estimated 150 people. Several fires were reported as a result of the raid and according to official police sources 44 minors were detained along with 30 adults who will be held in a reception centre until they are deported. The raid has been criticised as "inhuman" and called a "pogrom" by the left wing SYRIZA party and the Greek Communist party.
The ruling New Democracy party has also announced that it will set up internment camps throughout the country to house those who do not have a legal right to stay in the country. It should be noted that at present Greece grants asylum to 0.1% of those who apply for it and has been repeatedly criticised by Amnesty International, other European governments and the UNHCR for its treatment of refugees and immigrants.
On the other hand the latest poll carried out by Public Issue found that 93% of those questioned thought that Greece could not take in any more immigrants and that 62% said that immigration is probably harming Greece.
Stung by his party's poor showing in the recent European elections prime minister Kostas Karamanlis has decided to get tough on the issue of immigration in order to avoid losing more support to the far right LAOS party. With the possibility of general elections in either September or March 2010 at the latest Karamanlis is hoping that a tough stance on crime and immigrants will help bring back voters who have deserted the party in droves after two years of corruption and influence peddling scandals involving several government ministers

Criminals with ever faster spacecraft led the police to ask Llwyngwril Systems to design their sleekest, fastest interceptor ship. Originally named "Caledfwlch", the ship was the sword of justice bringing righteous retribution across the galactic disc (or something like that. We copied the last bit out of the sales brochure).
This ship was inspired by a series of sketches by Annis Naeem in the 2012 book "Blast", one version of which is here: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81H7s-BC3VL.jpg and another set are on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/By8Wvv1AV0d/
The famous historic police office in Arrowtown. Possibly the most photographed police office in the world! It just looks great in Autumn.
It was built in 1863 and is the oldest wooden structure in Arrowtown. It was constructed from pit-sawn red beech and had hand-cut shakes on the roof.
It originally was part of a police camp in Cardigan Street and was moved to its present site in 1991. The exact use of the building isn’t known, but it is suspected to have been used for storing gold during the gold rush.

Australian Federal Police's Naiad craft (24789) patrols Lake Burley Griffin during the memorial services for ANZAC Day.

This is the unusual result of a couple of factors - the reflection of the flash off the policeman's vest, and the camera being moved from a well-chilled English school into the swamplike humidity that is Kyoto in Summer. By all accounts, it's not really a Good Picture, but it's odd enough that I decided to keep it.
