Decorating the Apocalypse is a playful investigation of themes related to cultural identity. Images of masks and faces function as the primary signifiers in Fowler’s work. Through sculpture, painting and printmaking, he questions the ‘mythologies’ or artificial constructs surrounding issues of identity.
Cheap, plastic, Chinese-manufactured toys are sourced locally before being deconstructed and re-configured to finally emerge – through the ancient process of casting – as intricate, bronze masks. Similarly, kitsch, wooden, ‘primitive’ masks, found in flea markets in Paris and Melbourne, are methodically vandalised, painted and re-presented as cultural artifacts of contemporary society. Complementing his sculptural work, a suite of intricate, dry-point etchings mark Fowler’s experimentation with his own ‘counter-currency’. Through these prints that assume the form of banknotes, he explores themes of monetary and cultural value, and the role of the artist as creator of value. By building up different layers of meaning into his work, Fowler creates multi-dimensional pieces that remain open to interpretation by the viewer.

Question Mark Butterfly, This rather plain looking butterfly is a lifer for me.
This is the light phase of the Question Mark, so the signature Question Mark in the back wing, from which it gets its name and is so visible in the dark phase is very difficult to see. Question marks are a moderately common woodland butterfly.
They are definitely the most difficult butterflies to photograph that I have ever encountered, Firstly they do not feed on nectar so they do not visit flowers, secondly they live on the edge of woods and will retreat ligh into the trees if disturbed, thirdly they are extremely skittish - and generally will not let a person get closer than ten or twently feet. Lastly they only sit for a few seconds before they flit away. So although I have seen Question Marks on several occasions, I have never even come close to getting a shot until this.- next time I get the spectacular black orange and violet upper wing.
Question Marks are a member of the Comma family of forest butterflies.

This the first and last question mark I've ever seen! Was thrilled to see it, so it's included in my 2015 favorites.
“Illiam Dhone: A Manx Historical Drama which won the Chruinnaght Gold Medal, 1924”
by J. J. Keen
Published by Yn Chruinnaght Vanninagh Ashoonagh, as “Publication No. 1”, in 1926
Printed by S. K. Broadgate & Co. Ltd., Douglas
A seven-scene play on the life, death and aftermath of William Christian (“Illiam Dhone”).The play is a masterful handling of the contentious question of the traitor/nationalist status of Illiam Dhone in handing the island over to the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War. Kneen manages to leave the question still open in the play, despite making Dhone a very strong and heroic character.
That J. J. Kneen (1873 - 1938) was perhaps the leading Manx linguist as well as scholar and nationalist of his day would not come as a surprise after reading this play. He had a great many articles and translations to him name, although his most famous work is probably the translation the Manx National Anthem into Manx.
Kneen was a keen playwright also, writing many plays on Manx topics and themes. This play of ‘Illiam Dhone’ is a curious instance in that Kneen deals with Dhone and the complex issues surrounding him masterfully while giving the play a very strange format - effectively splitting it into three parts:
(1) the Manx “rebellion” (in which Dhone does not appear throughout the first scene, when the Derby Monarchist rule is overthrown),
(2) the arrest, trial and execution of Dhone, eleven years later,
(3) the story of Dhone son’s overcoming a rival to marry the daughter of one of Dhone’s accusers.
It should be clear what a daring opening act it is to leap straight into the rebellion, but also what a curious final act Kneen gives the play. It almost feels as if the play would be better titled, ‘Illiam Dhone and the Curse of the Clan Christian’.
Some of the characterisation is wonderful, particularly the interplay of Lady Molineux and Bishop Rutter in Scene I, where Rutter’s almost camp reactions to her outspoken attacks of the Roundheads is brilliant when set against the raucous songs that are left to us by the historical Samuel Rutter (Bishop 1660-1662/3). But this is nothing to the brilliant handling of Dhone himself, who is heroic, clearly drawn and yet vague at the same time. This is perhaps shown in one of the key lines in the play when Dhone is refusing to try to escape from the troops out to arrest him:
Christian:
Were it a crime to be a patriot, then am I a criminal indeed. I ever placed my country before aught else.
[...]
‘Twould be as well for a mouse to struggle against a lion, as for our puny little Isle to attempt to dictate to the armed forces if the English State.
[Scene III., p. 11]

One question leads to another
Hermes wondered if fused material like trinitite had been created during the Soviet Union's first nuclear test, Joe-1, in 1949.
It had. The sample Hermes obtained from the site of that test differed externally from trinitite, but he expected its radiological signature to be the same. The Joe-1 device was an exact duplicate of the Trinity Site device.
Yet gamma-ray spectroscopy showed radiological differences between the fused soil from the original American and Soviet test sites. Why?
Mystery solved
Upon inquiry, Hermes learned that the Soviets' original Ground Zero had been used a second time. The sample of fused material was a mixture of soil that had been remelted and remixed with debris from the second test.
The story doesn't end here
In science, the questions never end. Understanding how trinitite was formed is only a step towards understanding what went on inside the radioactive cloud created during the Trinity test. Many more questions remain to be answered. That's the challenge of science!
Grand question of the day: how do they harvest that clam juice, what exactly IS it, and why not oyster juice?
This is a photograph from the 1st round of the 2016 Pat Finnerty Memorial 5KM Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
