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:

Boats lined up in the Mooloola River Marina on the Sunshine Coast. The Police vessel is an important addition in busy waterways - not long after we arrived it left and never came back during the following week. May 2022.
Nijo Castle's legendary Ninomaru Garden and it's koi pond, which is lined with decorative boulders gathered throughout all corners of Japan, were designed in 1626 on the castle grounds for Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate (1603–1867). If you have read James Clavell's novel "Shogun" or watched the Shogun TV series, you're already familiar with Tokugawa Ieyasu because Clavell based the warlord 'Lord Toranaga' on him.)
Lord Tokugawa unified Japan in 1600, following twenty six years of civil war at the end of the 16th century. In 1601 he directed Japan's daimyos (feudal lords) to construct Nijo Castle as his Kyoto residence in a location very close to the Imperial Palace.
The castle grounds, completed in 1603 (amazingly after only two years!), are spectacular, covering 68 acres (27.5 hectares) which include 86,000 sq ft (8,000 sq m) of buildings including two palaces, ponds, rock gardens, and inner- and outer moats. It is now a World Heritage Site.
Upon completion, Tokugawa moved in and hosted a ceremony wherein Japan's Emperor announced to the gathered feudal lords his appointment of Tokugawa as Shogun. Tokugawa's main residence and his new seat of government was in Edo (now called Toyko), so this huge Nijo Castle was akin to his 'country home' used primarily whenever he visited the emperor in the Imperial Capital.
In 1614 the shogun led his samurai army from Nijo Castle on his victorious Siege of Osaka Castle which ended the line of the Toyotomi family, his last political opposition, and established himself as the absolute polical ruler of Japan. His shogunate lasted two hundred sixty four years. In 1857 the 15th Shogun of his line, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, ended shogunate rule and returned political control to the Emperor as Japan opened to the world.

Since the recent attacks in the UK a visible presence of armed Police has sadly become the norm...however, the Police are as much as possible trying to allay fears especially with children.....they are making a good job of this as seen in this image.

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.
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

Polizeibehörde!?
Polizeibehörde (Einheitssystem) – in Ländern mit polizeirechtlichem Einheitssystem (Baden-Württemberg, Bremen, Sachsen) eine Behörde, die Aufgaben der Gefahrenabwehr wahrnimmt. Sie ist organisatorischer Teil der Polizei, gehört aber nicht zum Polizeivollzugsdienst. Aha .. 😁👌
Police authority!?
Police authority (unified system) – in states with a unified police system (Baden-Württemberg, Bremen, Saxony), an authority that performs hazard prevention tasks. It is an organizational part of the police, but not part of the police force. Aha... 😁👌
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.
