Walking around Victoria's Chinatown yesterday, I stumbled across this antique safe at the end of an alley. What a lucky find, this is definitely off the beaten path.
I setup my tripod at its 2nd lowest setting and zoomed my 28-300mm lens to 50mm, using Live View to level my camera and set the composition where I wanted it. To maximize sharpness, I set my usual 2 second exposure delay, and triggered the shutter with my infrared remote.

The old night safe on the Commonwealth Bank building in Forrest Place. Welded shut as the highly historic building is now (for some stupid reason) a surf wear store.
One of the destinations for the first Not So Amazing Race. They actually found this one surprisingly quickly as Ryan insisted on dragging everyone to Forrest Place as soon as he saw the word "bank" in the clue. No one noticed that "For a rest place" = "Forrest Place".
Bapco Holds a Major Incident Exercise
With the objective of evaluating the overall response to emergencies, Bapco held a full-scale major incident exercise on 12 April, 2012.
The exercise, namecoded TAKREER, lasted for 3 hours and involved fighting a simulated fire in one of the crude units in the Refinery. Bahrain Civil Defence participated in TAKREER and more than 100 Bapco and contractor employees were involved.
A similar exercise was held on 21 December, 2011 in marketing terminal in Sitra. “The more we practice, the more confident we become in managing emergencies” said Hafedh Al-Qassab, General Manager Refining and TAKREER director. “We have learnt a lot in this exercise and will certainly utilize the learning in improving our procedures and resources” Mr. Al-Qassab continued.
The exercise observers, some of whom were non-Bapco employees, were pleased with the outcomes of TAKREER and praised the effective and efficient command of the exercise. “The adverse impact of a major incident can be minimized if the incident is managed well at its initial stages” commented Mr. Ebrahim Talib, acting Chief Executive of Bapco. “On behalf of Bapco Management, I thank all those involved in the preparation and implementation of the exercise. The present resources and organizational structure make us confident to manage any emergency, and we intend to further improve our processes and practices in this critical area.”
we are continuing our quest to be as safe and visible as possible, we have the neon tights, the neon tops, reflective belts, bands, etc, we have the ANSI / OSHA certified class III reflective vests, but we continue the quest to have outfits that are visible as well as comfortable to wear as we walk, run or bike.
These are the neon yellow outfits we have tried, from the company in Florida, we have some neon orange outfits, the neon orange color may be the better color for wear during the summer, as the orange contrasts with the greenery we have here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The neon yellow appears better for the late afternoon, evening and nights when paired with reflective belts, bands and / or vests.
Since we both usually run in races together, the neon outfits we wear show up in the sea of black, and blues and white outfits. There have been a number of comments by local media about the couple with the neon yellow (or green or orange) outfit we may be wearing. One local station has made several comments how we stand out in the sea of runners, walkers, sorry we do not do bike races, to dangerous. We have a couple of other couples who run with us, along with their kids, and we all wear the same color outfits when we race, and we tend to run as a group, 10 runners in neon yellow tights and tops, grouped together really tend to stand out as a right spot in all the other non-neon clothing.
we have had a number of negative comments from some others who make fun of our visibility, like guys do not wear neon yellow, neon green or neon orange is the usual comment form the guys in their black shorts and tights. After several cyclists have been hit here in he Mobile area there appears to be a subtle change occurring, there are now a couple of others who have adopted neon yellow, green or orange. There are now a few more folks out for walks and runs with reflective materials.
as mentioned above, there are a few others who share the desire to be seen and safe.
older post below:
determined that I needed to be more visible while we rode out bicycles on and near roads.
most bikers wear a colored top, not necessarily neon and black shorts and bottoms, really not that visible. A lot of the colored tops act more like camouflage rather than being visible as a solid color would be.
we found the neon tops at a local sporting goods store and the tights come from a company in Florida. who has them in 51 colors, a number of them neon.
we have some zentari suits we wear that are neon, wearing over bike clothing stretches them in the waist and bottom area, kind of baggy for running, we found these work better able to replace as needed when worn.
we get stopped regularly by others who tell us we stand out from a long distance, we are quite visible..
Recently Betty slipped out of her collar and went missing. This ended up as a happy story because of some caring folks and a stroke of fortune that she was taken to a vet used by greyhound rescue. This photo was taken right after she was safe and sound at home.
Her owner, Rita, sent us this letter: "How can I describe the joy of experiencing a miracle and, indeed, that is exactly what finding Betty was. Given where this happened (she slipped out of her collar with tags) .... The traffic, the multitudes of people, the wild and wooly wash and canyon. Well, Betty is home with hardly a scratch to tell of her adventure. The effort and support on the part of all who came to help find her was awesome. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
Please, have your dogs micro-chipped and/or wear a house collar with tags with current information. Check out our website for info on how to keep your dog safe and for suggestions on how to find a lost dog. www.azgreyhoundrescue.org/html/lost-and-found.htm
If you are an AGR adopter and your dog goes for a walk without you, call AGR immediately.

The other day we went to Tzfat, one of the four holy cities for Jews and the center of Kabbalah study. It was a grown-up trip. Petya rented a car, and we joined him. Tzfat is all about mountains, up and down, just like our Haifa. And lots and lots of Haredim—“those who tremble before God”—religious Jews. Yeshivas (institutions of higher learning in Judaism, where the Talmud and other traditional Jewish disciplines are studied, as well as preparing candidates for the rabbinate) are everywhere. Many young Haredi men with suitcases—they came to study.
We were, I believe, very lucky. We stumbled upon a wedding. I was hesitant to take photos. I suppose it’s a part of my current stage of growing older. But I couldn’t resist—I joined the crowd of photographers and clicked the button a couple of times. The bride was stunning.
The crowd was friendly. We went down another street because Petya wanted to visit a very old synagogue, the Abuhav Synagogue, with painted ceilings. We tried to bypass the wedding procession, which is no easy task in the narrow streets of Tzfat. And we ran into them again.
They were just entering the synagogue. We were invited in, too. Everyone was given a cookie.
