My wife tells me there is something special about 3am. For lack of myself I honestly can’t recall exactly what it was at the moment, I’m just glad I wasn’t scheduled to work the bays this morning. For me I suppose there is something special about that particular hour thou. Even surrounded by my kin in this little house of ours, at 3am I am very alone. Free to my thoughts, and my drives. There is clarity in that hour. Whether or not that is a good thing often depends on what the thoughts are that keep me awake. Tonight. I suppose tonight I was contemplating just about everything.
This decade has been one hell of a roller coaster ride, hasn’t it. Come to think of it, this year alone has been something of an aw inspiring “what the f***?” for me. It’s end drawing near, this year delivered nothing short of a prodigiously epic and adverse grand finale. I’d started right out of the gate with Marley’s distressing arrival last January, and I’ve been going full tilt ever since. There had been my original 365 challenge. I’d finished up last April having only missed three days in all. A small accomplishment, but an accomplishment none the less. I’ve reunited with old friends I thought I would never hear from again, said good bye to others and written the final bitter chapter of my life revolving around my oldest daughters estranged biological mother. After working on it nearly half my life I finally finished Syndicate, and now it would seem in a sense I have to rewrite the entire thing over again. Not a bad thought there. Nope. Once I’ve acquainted myself with the terrain, it’s going to be written into a grid script format, so it can be produced into a graphic novel series. Yeah, you read that right. I’ve partnered up with a small local company that is taking Syndicate public. There interest in seeing FOF, as well. I don’t mind saying I’m very excited about that…If I ever finish it. And after waiting six years ANR’s, one and only professionally recorded album is finally reaching completion. The album will never go public, but none of us have ever felt right about just walking away from the project after putting as much time, effort, energy, and money into it as we did. The mastering should be completed within the next week. Something I’ll undoubtedly be sharing here once I have it in hand.
A vast unexplored and often unfriendly sea we’ve traveled this year, filled with mind boggling ups and soul stirring lows. I feel that I’ve not only learned a great deal about myself, but in many aspects I’ve grown a great deal as well. It has most certainly been a year I will never forget.

Running underground for nearly 14.5km, the Hanlan Water Project is the largest tunnel of its kind ever undertaken in the Region of Peel. Designed to bolster the capacity of the regions aging water distribution network and ensure the viability of future growth, the project has been years in the making, and will continue to shape the future of our community for decades to come. Costing nearly $500 million, the project is a considerable undertaking, but one needed to meet the future needs of Mississauga, as well as the city of Brampton, Caledon and York Region.
The project involves the subterranean installation of a 2400mm RCP feedermain and a series of 1500mm sub-transmission mains along roadways and under existing communities. The primary feedermain will run north up Dixie Rd. from the Lakeview Water Treatment Plant at the foot of Lakeshore, eventually terminating at the Hanlan Reservoir and Pumping Station at Tomken and Britannia Rd. The work includes a number of ancillary projects to roadways and other local distribution works, and will span roughly 6 years. Combining a mix of open-cut and underground tunnel boring, the project has had to contend with the challenges to staying on schedule while managing the needs of traffic and residents alike.

Bougainvillea is a genus of flowering plants native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia from Pakistan to Afghanistan, and South America from Brazil west to Peru and south to southern Argentina (Chubut Province). Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. The name comes from Louis Antoine de Bougainville, an admiral in the French Navy who discovered the plant in Brazil in 1768.
They are thorny, woody, vines growing anywhere from 1-12 meters tall, scrambling over other plants with their hooked thorns. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4-13 cm long and 2-6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colors associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.
Bougainvillea are relatively pest-free plants, but may suffer from worms and aphids. The larvae of some Lepidoptera species also use them as food plants including Giant Leopard Moth.
[edit] Cultivation and uses
Bougainvilleas are popular ornamental plants in most areas with warm climates, including India, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia, the Mediterranean region, the Caribbean, Mexico, South Africa, and the United States in Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, and southern Texas.
Numerous cultivars and hybrids have been selected, including nearly thornless shrubs. Some Bougainvillea cultivars are sterile, and are propagated from cuttings.
Bougainvillea are rapid growing and flower all year in warm climates, especially when pinched or pruned. Bloom cycles are typically four to six weeks. Bougainvillea grow best in very bright full sun and with frequent fertilization, but the plant requires little water to flower. As indoor houseplants in temperate regions, they can be kept small by bonsai techniques. If overwatered, Bougainvillea will not flower and may lose leaves or wilt, or even die from root decay.
Symbolism
Various species of bougainvillea are the official flowers of the island of Grenada, of Lienchiang and Pingtung Counties in Taiwan, and of the cities of Tagbilaran, Philippines, Camarillo, California and Laguna Niguel, California. For consideration during game play of Scattegories: Bougainvillea should be considered both a flower and a vine.

Wellington buildings on an autumn evening.
The building on the right is the largest wooden building in New Zealand. It is known as the Old Government Buildings and it houses the Law School of Victoria University. It was completed in 1876, and until 1998 was the second-largest wooden building in the world.
The oddly shaped building in the centre is known as The Beehive but the official name is the Executive Wing of the New Zealand Parliament Buildings.
The building on the left is Bowen House and is currently occupied by Parliamentary Services. It is connected to the rest of the parliament buildings by an underground tunnel.

Knives - Experimental night for 365 today, so not perfect in anyway, but it gives me something to work at in the future as I progress through my project.
My current photography project is on the local shop keepers of Horbury and their businesses. I have been taking images of the owners and colleagues in their premises. The focus is on the person with all their products in shot, showcasing their shop as it is on an average day. I started this because I think local independent shops are a part of what keeps small communities together. As I have spent time taking the photos I have come to see the good relationships the shop keepers have with the local public, how many of them are on first name terms and how much the local community supports the local shops and services.

Just along the road from my hotel.
I walked to the park then on to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The V&A is one of my 'happy places'. I looked at the clothing collection, had a nice meal, then went back to my hotel to change before going to the Adelphi Theatre to see Kinky Boots the Musical.

It's now complete..............well as far as I am concerned. It still looks a bit sterile in places, but I think I will call it a day. Question to myself, do I attempt to recreate the same place in the late 70s ?..........answer, probably not.
