Edward Snowden should have been at the European Parliament this week to give his testimony
Instead, MEPs failed to support a Green call to protect him as a whistleblower. This display of cowardice sends out a negative message that whistleblowers who expose injustice will not be protected.
It's a cop-out, from a desire not to "offend" the US, whose own citizens are equally shocked. And it's made worse by the failure to support calls for a suspension of negotiations on an EU-US trade agreement (TTIP) until the US ceases its mass surveillance of EU citizens.

The serial # of my Micro-Nikkor 200mm ƒ 4 ED-IF AF-D, with the last two numbers obscured (for my privacy). Taken in Albany, CA by a Nikon D610 at ISO 400 with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm ƒ 3.5 AI lens. Exposure is 1/50 sec @ ƒ 3.5, with a 1:2 (1/2 life-size on the image sensor) shot.
I was unaware that "privacy laws are on the books in France" (John Goldsmith) that might make this photo illegal - or possibly actionable in a civil suit.
After I took it, a woman (who is not visible in the shot) said that her mother (who is) objected to her photograph being taken. I had enough understanding of French to follow what she meant, but not enough mastery of it to reply effectively. The chap wearing the headphones was not so constrained and after a short voluble exchange she retreated.
It is my belief that the principle holds: no-one can have any reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place. These days not only does nearly everyone have a camera - the lack of people using smart phones in this shot is actually remarkable in itself - but everywhere is covered by cctv. There is at least one such a camera visible in this shot. In using the metro, the person in question ought to have known that she would be observed by thousands of people and many cameras. I doubt that any law in Europe would stand up to a challenge. And this in a country where the principle of human rights were first declared, and street photography was born.
And, by the way, the construction of the Paris Métro coincided with the start and spread of photography. A new book couples the two. trib.al/dcTVFvv

This is Keith Hall, a fine mansion house, standing in a large wooded estate only a mile to the east of the town of Inverurie, but with its privacy protected by the River Urie to the west and long drives to north, south and east. I used to live here - not in the 'big hoose' needless to say, but tucked away up the back of the estate in the East Lodge, where I lived happily in sin with my future wife, back in the days when such things still mattered. Well, it mattered to my eventual mother-in-law anyway!
So why, I hear you ask, the interest in such an obviously un-fortified building? The answer is that this, in the words of Nigel Tranter, is a 'Jekyll and Hyde building'! The south front, seen here, was added in the late 17th century to a fine towerhouse, which still survives round the back. And in the next photo, 'we'll ging aroon' the back un' hey a wee keek at it'!

Panel on privacy at MIT museum
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Snaresbrook, London here are the details of the project.
The Steel Garden in Snaresbrook, London E11
BRIEF:
The client of this project had very clear ideas about what the space was to be used for and how she would like it to function. The existing bay tree, ivy and lavender bush was to be kept, as was the existing shed. The existing fences were old and worn and needed to be replaced.
The space should be both relaxing and suitable for entertaining, with a shaded area for ‘quiet time’ and a sunny area for
al fresco dining, and need be designed for adults only.
The only practical consideration within the space was that a significant proportion of the space is overshadowed by a large beech tree in the next-door garden, which would influence the positioning of foliage and hard landscaping features within the garden..
SOLUTION:
This garden was styled along the lines of a contemporary courtyard garden utilising a fusion of materials. ‘Old’ materials were mingled with ‘new’ in the use of stainless steel planters
on cobbles, and slate chippings bordering decking. The existing fences were replaced and the space was given extra privacy with the addition of trellis to the top of the new fences.
A planting palette consisting of hardy and half-hardy specimens was chosen, with heavy emphasis on foliage and architectural plants.
A combination of evergreen and semi evergreen plants, intertwined with scented white blooms, were selected to give year round interest to the space, with ‘showstoppers’ such
as 'Dicksonia antarctica‘ and 'Cortaderia selloana‘ used to give the garden an added ‘wow’ factor. A sense of perspective and the impression of different levels was achieved with plants growing up through decking laid directly behind the house.
A spacious cobbled area gave the space a lived-in feeling, with the addition of large established plants to further detract from the sense of ‘newness’ that is so often present
in a recent build.
The layout of the garden used the idea of ‘screening’, carefully placing materials and plants to create different areas in the garden and generate the illusion of space.
TESTIMONIAL:
“Choosing Earth Designs to design and landscape my garden was a great decision!
Katrina really listened to what I wanted - and to what I didn't! The proposed design totally fulfilled my brief and what's more was on budget, with no hidden extras. I also appreciated the various options that Katrina had considered and built into
the proposal.
The actual implementation was carried out thoughtfully and totally professionally, with the minimum of inconvenience and mess. And the final result is just stunning.”
