Rip Rap are the remains of cement or ashphalt that's been torn up to be replaced or otherwise used. I found a large amount of it across the road from where the new Marietta, GA ballpark is being constructed. Shot with my Sony NEX 6. Hugely modified using three apps: Aviary, CameraBag 2 and PhotoToaster!
Timmy worked with me for a short while last year. I am off island at the moment but heard he was killed in a motorcycle/car accident in miami yesterday. This is a horrible shock to many of us in antigua. antiguaisland.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Like most cities, at least in Europe, Paris has huge subterranean cavities, built in 2000 years of history for many purposes: quarries, religious hideout, beer cellars, subways and bunkers. Most of the excavations are located at the base of the three "mountains": Montparnasse, Montrouge and Montsouris. There are approximately 300km of galleries all together, not all of them are connected. The most extended connected system of tunnels is located under the 5th, 6th and 14th districts, and is about 100km long.
The name catacombs is derived from the usage as graves. This name is sometimes used for all the underground caverns of Paris, but the tourist spot, open to the public, are the graves. They do not really promote them to tourists, but they are open to the public.
At the end of the 18th century, the French government began converting several subterranean rooms into mass graves. This was necessary to meet desperate overcrowding in the medieval cemeteries in the center of Paris, which also became a hygienic problem. From 1785 to 1786, in 15 months, millions of bones and rotting corpses were tranported from the unsanitary city cemetery in Les Halles to this place. It was a monumental project to transport the bones in huge carts at night across the city.
And here they are, in huge piles, arranged as crosses, as faces and in other different configurations. Above the door outside are the words (in French): Stop! This is the empire of death. This bone collection of 5 to 6 million people has 11,000m bones.
Just before the Revolution, Charles X threw wild parties in the catacombs. During World War II the French Resistance set up its headquarters here.

I was very saddened to hear of the sudden death of John Clarke while bushwalking and photographing Australia's beautiful birds. I remember him with his famous Fred Dagg "Gumboots" song, the less than 100m track in the satirical "The Games" TV program and his trans-Tasman accent. He was dry, naughty and biting in his political satire with Bryan Dawe. RIP John Clarke. You made the world a better place. I hope you enjoy your farnackling up there. youtu.be/2MeCLILELNc

I was so very sad to hear the news that Trevor Trev Stumpy Swan has passed away. Trev was a little guy with a huge heart. Trev had a great sense of humour and was a very thoughtful guy. He was Pompey ( Portsmouth FC ) through and through and I loved going to away games with Trev on the coach. My thoughts and love go out to Trevor's family, friends and Portsmouth FC family. Photos taken in 2019 with my Samsung phone camera in a pub garden on the way to Wycombe Wanderers FC. Trevor loved his Portsmouth Republic flag
