Fort St., looking west and leaving downtown Victoria, BC, June 2011.
This section of bike lane was one of the city's first facilities, implemented in 1995. Design of this section has remained constant and performed adequately, if not spectacularly.
On street parking is metered, well used and enjoys high turnover. Delivery trucks and buses signficant users of the corridor.
Parking lanes are 2.5 metres and bike lanes are 1.5 metres wide. Further upstream, on-street parking is free, less frequently in constant use and with lower turnover rates. Newer bike lanes are 1.7 metres wide, the road has lost a lane, and traffic calming features have been added to the roadway, including landscaped medians and curb extensions. A near complete corridor has been improved in phases that reach from this section to Victoria residential and urban village neighbourhoods, and via other bike laned or off arterial routes to Camosun College and the University of Victoria.
The design of this section has been stable over its 16 year history and bike friendly improvements to the rest of the corridor have established a useful continuity that supports significant bicycle use. Bicycle traffic here is probably double regional averages for all trip purposes and over 10% for journey to/from work trips, a very healthy mode share.
The value of simple, on road marked bike lanes is in facilitating the orderly flow of traffic alongside a heavily used commuter corridor for transportational cyclists, the travel market segment (for all modes) that drives all transportation infrastructure and system design.
Cyclists, no less than other drivers, will not be following set patterns along the corridor. Numbers arrived from different points downstream from the intersection behind me (through movements and turns from Quadra, a busy cross street), feed traffic onto this section of Fort. Upstream, and within the flow of traffic, individual cyclists were traveling in adjacent lanes, merging from left turns onto the street, or conversely, merging left (north), to left turn lanes at subsequent intersections.
Turnover for bikes is no less fluid for bikes than it is for vehicles. Sidewalks along Fort are peppered with bike racks for the many businesses located along the corridor and numbers of cyclists enter from or leave the traffic stream to access businesses and services along their journey.
Cycle track designs are floating into the conversation around the future of this and other locations in Victoria. More of the issues are illustrated in recent photos added to my flickr site.
The Daily Shoot #270: Find a repeating pattern and make a photo of it today.
I didn't feel very creative with the camera today so this is also my 365 shot.

"We've told their story annually for the past few years, but it is always worth repeating for the good cause that they serve.
They are the 'Cotton Jazzmen', comprising of a good natured workpeople from the Stubbins Vale Mill of Porrit Brother and Austin Limited, most of them the depicting the 'Black and white Minstrels'. They toured the various departments of the mill and
later, the department of the company's Broadway Mill at Haslingden, where the employees assembled. A collection was taken at each mill.
In a ten man dancing troupe were Mr. Bob Rothwell (piano accordionist) and the creator of the 'Jazzmen' and Messrs. George Mellodew (drums). Brian Fant, Brian Lamb, Brian Isherwood, Alistair Sim and David Loftus (musical submarine), Joe Roscow and Stewart Storey (mouth organ) and George Crook (cymbals). They were dressed in black and white satin trousers, red stockings, clogs and wore wigs. Their faces were blacked in minstrel style.
Messrs Alec Henderson (trombone), Roger Hoyle (cornet), John Lomax (concertina) and Derek Perry (side drums) made a four man band.
Others in the 'Jazzmen' party were Sheila Rothwell, Doris Scott, Margaret Bromley, Joan Wright and Janet Law as collectors.
A highlight of the dancing was a portrayal of 'Hello Dolly' by drum major Henry Martin wearing a brown wig, black frock coat edged with yellow ribbon, yellow satin trousers and yellow stockings and David Loftus, who did a quick change into a mini-skirt and blouse and white nylon wig for the occasion.
The 'Jazzmen' walked in procession through Stubbins village, residents of which contributed to the collection. Motorists in passing cars threw money into the street for the cause.- The Ramsbottom Old Peoples' Welfare Association, for which all told, £32 was raised."
My half-scale model in action. The Chinese repeating crossbow was a masterpiece of functional design, made entirely from bamboo and other wood. It was widely used for centuries, right up to the 20th Century. Less powerful than the old European crossbow, but still powerful enough to kill. And just watch how fast it could shoot! I managed 10 shots in 8 seconds.

"She is not the bride. She is not the bride. She is not the bride." That's what I had to keep repeating in my head; otherwise I would have taken 5 hours of photos of this girl.

Yesterday my daily image was of my youngest daughter,Eleanor, performing with the band Rankin Steady. Being a Bank Holiday, the guys have been very busy and have been out again today. This little girl was bewitched by watching my 'little girl'! What has shocked me more than anything,now I have processed the image is that ,actually, this view of the tiny fan is an identical image to that of my own daughter that this child is watching at the same age! It has taken my breath away!,,,
(I have just shown the image to Eleanor herself &,remarkably for her,she is speechless!
God bless them both!
Gave a workshop for a few friends today on how to shoot long exposure motion. We had 3 great models, 2 dancers and one martial artist.

The Spencer repeating rifle was an early American lever-action firearm invented by Christopher Spencer. It was used in the Battle of Chickamauga. This was the world's first military metallic cartridge repeating rifle, produced from 1860. Offered to the US Army right after the Civil War broke out in 1861, the view by the Department of War Ordnance Department was that soldiers would waste ammunition by shooting too rapidly at the enemy with repeating rifles, and thus denied a government contract for all such weapons. Shortly after the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, the repeating rifle was demonstrated to President Abraham Lincoln, who was impressed and ordered the Army to adopt it for production, but the Army disobeyed the order.
At the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center. I visited this place on April 16, 2018, returning after having there the previous day.
In Sep 1863, the US Army under General Rosecrans seized the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a railway center and gateway to the Confederate industrial centers of Atlanta and northern Georgia. The Army advanced about 10 miles (16 km) past the city, almost to West Chickamauga Creek, southeast of Chattanooga. The Confederate response was to reinforce their army under General Bragg and counterattack later that month. The counterattack, known as the Battle of Chickamauga, succeeded in driving General Rosecrans and two of his three corps commanders in headlong retreat back to Chattanooga. The third commander, General Thomas, held firm, allowing the fleeing forces to recover and earning for himself the nickname "The Rock of Chickamauga." With 34,600 casualties for both sides, the Battle of Chickamauga was second only to the Battle of Gettysburg in Civil War losses.
Saw this while grocery shopping at Walmart. I kept pressing "Continue," and the dialog continued to pop up. Makes the kiosk unusable. Glad I didn't need a Rug Doctor!
Meet Passiflora 'Chez bijoux' - the first flower opened today. it is a hybrid sharing an almost identical pedigree to P. 'Hummingbird' & P. 'Anna Irvine' (2009). P. 'Chez bijoux' came from seed produced in 2014 from repeating P. xbuzios x P. 'Jutta'. See parents below:
Well this didn't really turn out the way I would have liked but it was fun trying. Actually there are about 7photos here. I wanted to capture that ever repeating image effect with photos rather than video. Photo, open, photo, open, repeat.

Title vignette, repeating number 7 in a series of 10 illustrations in which a hermit ("Der Ainsydel" [i.e. Einsiedler]) with crucifix (and sometimes beads) speaks to a figure representing one of the ten ages of human life, accompanied by an animal symbolic of that age. In this illustration we see a man of seventy years carrying a stick and accompanied by a dog (symbolizing reflection on past glories, perhaps in conjunction with the sun above).
For a brief overview of this trope, see J.W. Jones, "Observations on the Origin of the Division of Man's Life into Stages," in Archaeologia 35 (1853), p. 167-189, especially p. 177-182.

These three are all from Santa Maria la Blanca, the oldest synagogue in Spain. It was designed by Mudejar (Muslims that remained in Toledo after the Christian reconquest) architects, so has an incredibly Moorish feel. It was converted into a Christian church after all the Jews were expelled in the 1400's, but they left most of the architecture alone. A really gorgeous place. That intricate plaster work between the pillars and the horseshoe arches is actually carved instead of molded, so each is slightly different. And there are a lot of them...
