In honor of all those who have given their lives to protect others.
My country,' tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our fathers' God, to thee,
author of liberty, to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.
America (or My Country, 'Tis of Thee) text by Samuel F. Smith, (1808-1895)
This small plaque is at the highest point on Hadrian's Wall, not everyone notices it but I always take a moment to think of this young man.

"The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America - they have served the United States of America."
Barack Obama, August 28, 2008

On the west side of the Route 50 bridge where several large houses now stand
there was once a cool shopping village called Shanty Town. It was torn down
in the early 2004.
The NS RoadRailer trains that once passed through Northeast Ohio, usually came through in daylight hours. The westbound train is shown in Olmsted Falls, Ohio.

Remembering Malayan Tiger Jalil
The staff at the Zoo and especially the keepers in Night Hunters are mourning the loss of our male Malayan tiger, Jalil who passed away on Tuesday during a procedure that revealed significant age-related medical issues. We knew he was in decline and past the life expectancy for his species, but it’s still hard. Jalil is the father of 3 cubs with the female Cinta. Cubs are on display at the Night Hunters Exhibit.
sometimes savoring the memory is almost as sweet as the moment that created it....
peace to you and yours...ACE
Another visit to the Battle of Britain Memorial, and on this visit someone had left a red flower on the Airman's jacket. This colour image is as it was.
Used to love campfire Marshmellows...mostly I remember them in wax paper...a Five pound tin must be for a boy scout cookout. Or the Kkwwwuuusssshhhhhh of Maxwell House Coffee, pop the key off the top, lift the tab and insert it into the key and roll it around the top of the can...forthose of you familiar with a 12 inche black and white TV with tubes in it, you could here the sounds on the Maxwell House commercial for 'I Remember Mama"
Not my usual style, but I wanted to push myself outside my 'comfort zone' in order to finish up this year's AP art concentration on 'Memento Mori'.
This a combination of two photographs: One which I took at the haunted Fairview Asylum, and another which I took at a museum in Seattle. In case you are wondering, the answer is yes--that's a real mummy.
And, if any of you are in the Portland Area, you might be interested to know that Lakeridge High School is having their annual AP Art Showcase tomorrow from 4:00 until 7:00. There will be art for sale, and FREE FOOD! I'll be selling a few of my own prints. Yay!

Metra 612 leads an Outbound Milwaukee District Scoot around the curve at Canal St. in Chicago, IL. Long before the great view was blocked.
Remember the buzz when as a young travelling enthusiast there were places like this to discover, It happened regularly. For me the sparkle died within a couple of decades as the number of such operators disappeared, vehicle variety diminished and you were aware of what was where. Personally I was able to prolong things a little by travelling to places like Malta and Portugal in search of AECs. However, I digress, this was a sight which greeted you as you looked up from the edge of Maesteg town at the Llynfi Motors garage circa 1979. I'm pleasantly surprised that I actually bothered to take the photo, as most shots which weren't a front three quarter were considered to be of little use.
Every so often you will find yourself with the people you treasure most. You will often find yourselves reminiscing of those times. The time when Joey didn't put on sunscreen, or when Shannon locked herself out of her car. It is those kinds of moments that shape you as a person and that people will remember you by forever.
Do you remember the time when...
