Save Historic Olvera Street
Save the St. from commerical interests ?
the rental rates of the small stalls have increased dramatically on a bad economy so much that
small vendors are unable to make a profit selling on this
historic street. seems to be a message to small vendors to get out so commerical interests can come in.....maybe Starbucks, Taco Bell, and a Mcdonalds, ??instead of the local taco stand ?
Big Busine$$ against Small Business who wins ?
Trouble in paradise. This woodcut created by artist Gillyin Gatto is a protest poster against a proposed LNG terminal that is threatening Passamaquoddy Bay. This terminal will mean that huge LNG (liquified natural gas ) tankers would enter Passamaquoddy Bay through a channel between two Canadian islands, Campobello and Deer Island. They will the have to take a right hand turn passing near the "Old Sow" one of the worlds largest whirlpools before getting to the proposed terminal at the Passamaquodddy Reservtion across from Deer Island. These tankers would be escorted by gunships in case of terrorism. No ship can operate within 1000 yards of these tankers while in transit. The terminals will be lit up 24 hours a day within sight of St Andrews New Brunswick a very popular tourist resort. Fishing and all tourist boat traffic will have to cease during the tankers transit. Life as we know it will drastically change downeast. The LNG proponents are offering big $ to the towns and the Passamaquody Tribes to get this to pass. it has turned neighbor against neighbor in the hopes of jobs and tax breaks. The biggest hope we in Maine have that they won't be able to build these terminals in such a dangerous place, is that the Canadian Government has said it won't allow these tankers to pass through Head Harbour Channel. the LNG proponents argue that it is international waters. Canada was instrumental in stopping a Pittston oil refinery from being built in this area in the late 70's and we can only hope that they can help us win this fight,too.
RARE abandoned Mazda T2000 pickup truck at a scrapyard at Shek Kong, Hong Kong. It costs HKD$ 65,000. I hope someone would rescue it and restore it back to former glory. It's very heart-brokening to see a classic automobile being put outside rusting. She deserve a better life than sitting there.

What on Earth possessed me to take a manual focus lens to the beach this morning?
It was blowing a gale, which made my eyes stream, and I could hardly see, let alone look through a view finder and focus on something. But at least I'd tied my hair up :))
The lens is a Lensbaby Burnside 35 and the blurb says set it to f2.8 with your subject 3 feet away and the background then 12 feet away, and you'll get a perfect shot ... yeah, right.
February 18th 1967 and Bristol Omnibus 8008, a 1951 Bristol KS6B with an eight foot wide ECW 60-seat body (note the overhang between the front wheel track and the mudguard), is photographed climbing Park Street, Bristol, having recently left the Tramways Centre and heading out to Cribbs Causeway in the west of the city - now a huge out of town retail development, but then a small rank of houses on the outskirts of the city. Within a few yards the driver would probably have needed to change down a cog as he approached the junction with Park Row and the University and Museum buildings.
The bus was withdrawn a little later in the year and kept by the company for inclusion in a possible museum: however, ten years later it was sold for scrap.

Today starts in Pamplona The Running of the Bulls.
The magnificent animals who slip and slide on the streets of Pamplona during the “Running of the Bulls” are later barbarically killed – all in the name of “tradition”. Torturing and killing a defenceless animal should not be celebrated as tradition. People have always tried to use tradition to justify horrible things, such as child labour and slavery. But tradition doesn’t make something right. Bullfighting is a cruel blood sport that should have been relegated to the history books a long time ago. No matter what its history is, bullfighting consists of the torture, mutilation and slaughter of animals for entertainment.
