Harry was 9 weeks when he died in a tragic accident at home.
He will be missed like you can’t imagine.
What a sweet, smart but fragile little bugger he was!
Though it sounds cheesy as hell; he will be in my heart forever.
May 1, 2013 - I live in Bucks County, PA where 17 people died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2011. A park - Garden of Refections- was built and dedicated to the victims and heros. The centerpiece is a beam from the World Trade Center. This is a composite of the beam and the park.
During my recent stay in Paris, my Dad and I took a trip around a large and very ornate cemetary.
The French certainly seem to spare no expense or effort in honouring their loved ones, who have been taken from them.
There were acres upon acres of tombs, statues and headstones, most of which were lavishly decorated with ornate stone carvings, stained glass windows and decorative ironwork. It was a sight like no other I've seen before and thoroughly more heartwarming than any English cemetary I've visited.
This was one of my favourites that we saw... there were many, many more that we didn't have time to appreciate.
I like the combination of the right colour in the glass and the decorative curls of iron.
Most of these tombs were about the size of two telephone boxes, stood back to back, narrow and upright, as if made to stand in. Some of the biggest memorials were perhaps twenty feet high.
Me enamorĂł tu mirada angelical y me perdĂ entre tu sonrisa cuasi perfecta. Me hipnotizĂł ese “cuasi” por su belleza y recorrĂ los rincones de tus palabras. LleguĂ© al paraĂso de tu pecho y, entre cicatrices de guerra, me encontrĂ© con tu ombligo, donde se mece plácidamente tu alegrĂa. RobĂ© una porciĂłn de ella y me escapĂ© en direcciĂłn a tu espalda. Conduje mis ojos por la autopista de tu cintura y paguĂ© con gusto el peaje de tu nuca con un beso apasionado. FotografiĂ© las montañas de tus brazos, cuyos caminos poco transitados habĂa tomado un color azul verdoso. DescansĂ© sobre la yema de tus dedos, que acariciaban gratamente mi cuerpo imperfecto. Al amanecer, tus pupilas alumbraron el reino de tus rodillas y me dispuse a seguir su luz. Anduve por los senderos que marcaban tus mulsos bien diferenciados y sobrevolĂ© las robustas praderas que se alzan sobre tus piernas. El tĂmido halo de tu respiraciĂłn meciĂł mis pensamientos, que brincaban alegremente sobre tu alma aniñada y sin prejuicios. Cuan perfecto fue el paraje del que mis insignificantes ojos quedaron prendados que decidĂ alojarme en Ă©l para toda la eternidad. Y allĂ sigo, tomando cafĂ© en el Ăşltimo poro de tu piel y contemplando la grandiosidad de tu mirada, sentada sobre tus párpados.

War Years Remembered is not a state-run museum. Due to the various lock-downs over the past year the museum has suffered greatly, with almost all of our annual income lost. All through lock-down the team at War Years Remembered has continued to support anyone requiring research from documentary makers and authors to families and veterans, all for free.
Our long-term goal for War Years Remembered is to find a permanent home and seek accredited museum status. Our dream is to become a major attraction that will provide an enjoyable, interesting and educational experience to all who visit.
We are fighting to survive the Covid-19 pandemic but we need your help. To survive and remain in our present location, we currently need to raise ÂŁ50,000. With this money we can continue our vital work in remembering our veterans and the collection will be preserved for the education of future generations.
We were inspired by our late veteran 'Captain Tom' and our younger volunteers came up with the idea to walk 'in the footsteps of heroes'. So, over the coming weeks we will be using treadmills to walk 602 miles, the distance from our museum in Ballyclare to the beaches of Normandy, a journey undertaken by so many young men and women who fought in the Second World War. We will be posting regular updates on our progress and we hope you enjoy watching our journey.
Please give what you can, please help save War Years Remembered.

Christchurch, September 2011. Aftermath from the Earthquakes
The 2010 Canterbury earthquake (also known as the Christchurch earthquake or Darfield earthquake) was a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, which struck the South Island of New Zealand at 4:35 am on 4 September 2010 local time (16:35 3 September UTC).
The quake caused widespread damage and several power outages, particularly in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand's second largest city. Two residents were seriously injured, one by a collapsing chimney and a second by flying glass. One person died of a heart attack suffered during the quake, although this could not be directly linked to the earthquake. Mass fatalities were avoided partly due to there being few houses of unreinforced construction, although this was also aided by the quake occurring during the night when most people were off the street.
The earthquake's epicentre was 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of Christchurch, near the town of Darfield. The hypocentre was at a shallow depth of 10 km. A foreshock of roughly magnitude 5.8 hit five seconds before the main quake, and strong aftershocks have been reported, up to magnitude 6.3.The initial quake lasted about 40 seconds, and was felt widely across the South Island, and in the North Island as far north as New Plymouth. As the epicentre was on land away from the coast, no tsunami occurred.
The National Crisis Management Centre in the basement of the Beehive in Wellington was activated, and Civil Defence declared a state of emergency for Christchurch, the Selwyn District, and the Waimakariri District, while Selwyn District, Waimakariri and Timaru activated their emergency operation centres. Initially, a curfew was established for parts of Christchurch Central City from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am in response to the earthquake. The New Zealand Army was deployed to the worst affected areas within Canterbury.
Aftershocks have continued into 2011, with some causing significant damage themselves. The strongest to date occurred on 22 February 2011 which is so far estimated at magnitude 6.3. It was felt from Invercargill to Wellington. 181 people have been confirmed dead.
Claims from the earthquake were confirmed at being between $2.75 and $3.5 billion NZD.
The June 2011 Christchurch earthquake was a shallow magnitude 6.3 ML earthquake that occurred on 13 June 2011 at 14:20 NZST (02:20 UTC). It was centred at a depth of 6.0 km (4 mi), about 13 km (8 mi) from Christchurch, which had previously been devastated by the February 2011 magnitude 6.3 ML aftershock of the major 2010 Canterbury earthquake. The June quake was preceded by a magnitude 5.6 ML tremor that struck the region at a slightly deeper 10 km (6.2 mi). It was separately reported by the USGS as a magnitude 6.0 Mw event, focused at about 9 km (5.6 mi) below the surface.
Subsequent severe shaking in the city registered at VIII on the Mercalli scale, destroying some buildings and causing additional damage to many structures affected by previous earthquakes. The damaged tower of the historic Lyttelton Timeball Station collapsed before dismantling work could be completed. The earthquake also downed phone lines and triggered widespread power outages, leaving around 54,000 households without power. Rebuilding costs were estimated to increase by NZ$6 billion (US$4.83 billion) due to additional damage from the quake.
Immediate reports following the quake indicated that at least 10 people were injured and hospitalised; however, the number rose to a total of 46 injuries the next day. One elderly rest home resident lost consciousness when he fell during the quake and died later that night, although the exact cause of death was unclear.
The Greater Cincinnati Foundation lost a dear friend on September 10, 2014 - William A. Friedlander. We remember Bill's many contributions to the Foundation and our Greater Cincinnati community.
War Memorials are important, if somewhat underappreciated these days. We must be careful, however, to use them to remember the victims of war, and not promote nationalism that spurs further conflict. Here my young cousin takes in the War Memorial in Wascana Park in Regina, Saskatchewan (2013)

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”
― Ernest Hemingway
Back in the 1920s Robert Doisneau didn't have too much trouble getting the stairs clear for his shot. Nowadays this place is crowded with tourists... :-(
I love these cuties and I got them for our wedding cake 8 years ago but we never used them. They have been in the closet ever since. This past weeks as my own recommended physical therapy I have decided to resort and let go of collectibles I know I will never display or buy again. Some have already been sold and I will never think of them again but this one...I think I need at least a picture for reminiscing.

This is one of the buildings at an abandoned ranch on Poison Creek Road, south of Grand View, Idaho. Many thanks to Chuck Knowles for the directions to this location.
This is my first attempt at using textures. This started as a 3 shot tonemapped HDR image which was shot a half hour past sunset, so my exposures were 15, 30, and 60 seconds. I then used textures from SkeletalMess who has lots of great free textures.
For this, I used Aborigine (overlayed at 75% opacity), Parched (overlayed at 50%), and then used Stoned Paper (to create the frame).
That's it, let me know what you think.
