Irish settler Edward William Murphy first purchased the site, now containing Marchant Park, on the 29th of September 1868. Murphy paid ₤186 for Portion 587 that comprised 504 acres of land in the Chermside area then known as Downfall Creek being named after the nearest large watercourse. Portion 587 became known locally as Murphy’s Paddock. After Murphy’s death on the 19th of May 1881, the land passed to his spinster sister, Mary Murphy, of Sydney. On the 10th of February 1885, the title to Murphy’s Paddock was transferred to Michael Ballinger of Brisbane. By December 1891, Murphy’s Paddock had been subdivided, leaving Ballinger with the deed to the smaller allotment comprising 101 acres 2 roods 8.2 perches. By 1897, a road, later named after Murphy, ran through Murphy’s Paddock to connect to Gympie Road.
At the northern corner of Murphy and Gympie Roads was a 4-acre block of land that contained a blacksmith shop run by a German migrant, August Christian Vellnagel. On the 16th of March 1897, William Henry Hacker purchased resubdivision 1 of subdivision 1 of Murphy’s Paddock. The four-acre block had been bought by Vellnagel but registered in Hacker’s name. Vellnagel commenced a blacksmith business on this site and “Vellnagel achieved a good reputation for shoeing horses”. On the 3rd of February 1899, Vellnagel finally acquired the title deed to the block containing his house and blacksmith shop.
On the 24th of August 1899, George Marchant, the owner of a successful aerated waters factory, gained title to resubdivision 2 of Portion 587 that comprised 97 acres. This gave Marchant control of all of the land that was Murphy’s Paddock, other than the 4 acres owned by Vellnagel. Marchant wanted the land to use as a spelling paddock for his company’s horses. Thereafter the land became known locally as Marchant’s Paddock. A man of considerable wealth, Marchant not only owned factories in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Newcastle but also held the world patent on a bottling machine. He was a philanthropist, contributing ₤82,000 towards the construction of the Temperance Union’s Canberra Hotel in the City, as well as donating to the Montrose Crippled Children’s Home, the Kings Home for Soldiers, the Garden Home for the Aged, the City Mission Home, the Paddington Creche and Kindergarten, and Chermside’s H.M. Wheller Gardens Settlement aged care facility.
After the declaration of war on the German Empire on the 5th of August 1914, 120 Australian Light Horsemen, from northern New South Wales, encamped at the northern end of Marchant’s Paddock but later shifted across Murphy Road to butcher Alonzo Sparkes’ paddock. This was the start of ‘Military Training Camp Chermside’, an Army establishment that operated out of both paddocks from 1914 to 1918. Marchant’s Paddock was used as a Remount Depot for the Queensland-raised 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiment. Both it and Sparkes’ Paddock “were ideal for the Light Horse as the land had largely been cleared of low scrub to allow both businessmen to use them as rest paddocks for their workhorses”. After the departure of 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiment for overseas service on the 14th of September 1914, Marchant’s Paddock remained a Remount Depot, with wild horses brought in by train to Zillmere Station and then herded up to the Camp. As well, during World War I, Marchant’s Paddock was used as a training camp for the Australian Imperial Force (1st AIF) artillery and machine-gun units. Some temporary buildings were erected in Marchant’s Paddock including a gun park for the artillery’s 18 pounder guns.
In 1917, before the end of the Great War, George Marchant offered to donate his paddock to the Kedron Shire Council for use as a park. Marchant placed, as a major condition of his donation, the requirement that Vellnagel’s land also had to be acquired by the shire council. This would allow the whole area bounded by Gympie, Murphy and Ellison Roads (Murphy’s original paddock) to become a park. Marchant also asked the Council to pay him £200 compensation for the caretaker’s cottage that he had built in his paddock.
On the 20th of March 1917, the Kedron Shire Council decided to resume Vellnagel’s land. Council did try and buy two acres of land from Sparkes’ Paddock but Alonzo Sparkes refused to sell though he did offer to donate one acre from his paddock to help in the negotiations with Vellnagel. The Council offered ₤150 for Vellnagel’s four acres, a further ₤75 for loss of business plus one acre at the corner of Short Street and Gympie Road, to where they would move his blacksmith’s shop and house free of charge. Vellnagel had a thriving business of 20 years and a family home with improvements such as crops and fruit trees on his land, so he rejected this offer.
After the resumption notice was advertised in the local newspapers, Vellnagel attended a Council meeting on the 21st of May 1917, where he presented a written objection to the resumption of his land. As well, a number of ratepayers, led by Councillor Ruskin, pushed for a rejection of Marchant’s offer of land. Vellnagel probably found himself in a difficult situation as World War I was reaching a climax. There was some anti-German sentiment within the local districts as they contained many farmers who had migrated from Germany in the nineteenth century. Vellnagel possibly felt bullied not only by the stipulation that he had to shift his blacksmith business and family home but also by the inadequate compensation package being offered by the Council. So he refused to move and make way for the park.
Several public meetings followed. A plan to relocate Vellnagel to a nearby Council Reserve set aside for a public hall was declared illegal. On the 3rd of September 1918, the Council expanded its offer to include the digging of a well on any site accepted by Vellnagel, as well as allowing “him to remove all his crops and any flowers or shrubs he chooses.” As well, the Council formed a Park Committee and also decided to indemnify any Council officers, should the matter end up in the court.
The controversy dragged on into the post-World War I period. At the Council meeting of the 13th of March 1919, controversy was raging over how the Shire could raise the ₤1,000 needed to outfit a new park, plus compensate both Marchant and Vellnagel. While the former Chairman of the Council had arranged a ₤1,000 loan from the state government, this had never been approved by the rest of the Council and so was described by some councillors as “a dirty, underhand business”. By the 1st of February 1921, Marchant was threatening to withdraw his offer of land by the 1st of July, if the issue of moving Vellnagel off his land had not been resolved.
At this time, the Council had changed its offer of compensation to Vellnagel. He was offered 3 acres, 2 roods and 20 perches of land bordering Downfall Creek and directly across Gympie Road from his existing site, but no money. Vellnagel was given until the 3rd of March 1921 to accept the Council’s offer. On the 2nd of March, Vellnagel grudgingly accepted the land swap but he also requested ₤300 compensation for loss of business and cultivation, deprivation of fruit trees, and personal inconvenience. The Council accepted Vellnagel’s request on the 8th of March 1921. On the 12th of April 1921, Isaac White was awarded a contract for ₤180 to shift Vellnagel’s house, blacksmith shop and other improvements across Gympie Road. Vellnagel left behind a row of pine trees along Gympie Road. These were incorporated into the new park, which was to be named Marchant Park.
First thought of placing a war memorial at Marchant Park seems to have been in July 1917 when the Kedron War Council wrote to Kedron Shire Council asking them to consider opening Marchant Park on the 29th of September 1917 as it was “their special day of effort in aid of the Repatriation Fund”. But because of the acquisition problems, the Council declined. At the Council meeting of the 13th of March 1919, a number of shire war memorial ideas were discussed, including a memorial stone at either the intersection of Hamilton and Gympie Roads or outside of the Shire Hall, a memorial circular water trough, memorial marble tablets for the Zillmere and Aspley schools and for Zillmere Railway Station. Later a Kedron War Memorial Committee was formed with the explicit purpose of building a war memorial but had not made much headway, for in June 1920:
A committee of citizens representing the Kedron Shire War Memorial Committee waited on the Council and expressed their inability to bring to a successful issue the undertaking for the erection of a War Memorial in the Shire, and asked Council to take over the duties. It was finally decided, after some of the committee had been heard on the matter [... indecipherable word], that the Council take over the responsibility.
Also at this meeting, notice was received that the new Australian War Memorial Museum, in Canberra, was preparing a list of memorials planned or already erected throughout Australia. The following month, in July 1920, the Council received a further public deputation about the erection of a war memorial in the Shire. In September, the War Memorial Committee asked Council for permission to erect a soldiers’ memorial in Marchant Park and recommended that the Council peg out roads in the park, “to enable the committee to permanently fix the position of the memorial”.
At the same time, the Bald Hills War Memorial Committee had approached the State Trophy Commission and successfully secured a captured heavy machine gun and bipod for its proposed John Street war memorial. The Bald Hills Progress Association had already planted a row of pine trees, in 1919, in honour of Ernst Feuerriegel, the first soldier from the Bald Hills district killed in World War I. After learning of the Bald Hills success, Kedron Shire applied for a war trophy. There had been a heated debate as to whether the Bald Hills trophy was meant for Bald Hills alone or the whole of Kedron Shire. The debate ended with support for the Bald Hills case but an application was made for two artillery guns for Kedron Shire.
The debate seems to have inspired further action on the proposed war memorial for, in November 1920, the Council Chairman moved “to erect a memorial to represent the whole shire and that as soon as the form has been decided upon particulars will be forwarded” to the Australian War Museum in Canberra. The Kedron Shire War Memorial Committee was replaced by the Kedron Shire Anzac Day Committee, which was formed in March 1921. Kedron Shire Council began fund-raising for the erection of the proposed war memorial gates. The Council donated ₤30 and a further ₤445 was raised through public subscription to pay for the total cost of £475 for the sandstone gateposts, iron gates and four marble tablets. One of the prominent local identities involved with the war memorial project was builder Walter Scott Barrett, the treasurer of the Aspley Progress Association.
On Saturday, the 3rd of May 1924, the former commander of the 1st Division (1st AIF), General Sir William Glasgow officially unveiled the Kedron Shire War Memorial Gates at the entrance to the new Marchant Park. Among the other dignitaries, who were present, were Mr. D.S.J. Barker (presiding), Mr. W. Kelso M.L.A., Kedron Shire Councillor Marquis and the Reverend S. MacDonald. Two marble tablets on the gate posts listed the names of the 273 men from Kedron Shire who had enlisted during World War I, a third tablet listed the names of the 53 local men who had died during the war, while a fourth tablet listed the names of the five local men who had enlisted to fight in the Boer War. General Glascow stated “that he knew the district well for a strongly patriotic place” and that as “a trooper in the mounted infantry long ago, he had served in Kedron, and many happy memories had he of it.”
Kedron Shire Council was incorporated into the new Greater Brisbane City Council (BCC) in 1925. Marchant Park along with the Kedron Shire Quarry at 41 Turner Road, Kedron and Lutwyche Cemetery at 418 Gympie Road, Kedron, remain the only places that had been operated by the former Kedron Shire Council. So Marchant Park passed under the control of the BCC. The BCC connected town water to Marchant Park in December 1928.
That year, Marchant Park was leased to the Warehouse Cricketers’ Association (WCA) for £5 per wicket per season, plus £123 for the construction of two dressing sheds towards which the Council would contribute labour costs. The lease was for 10 years from the 22nd of September 1928 to 22nd of September 1938. The terms of the lease stipulated that the WCA would not interfere with the right of public access to the park, other than when a game was in progress, and that it could only be used for cricket, with “no dissolute or disreputable behaviour”, nor “games of chance”. Sabbath days were to be observed, alcohol prohibited, and “no offensive trade, business occupation or calling” could be carried out at the park. The Returned Soldiers, Sailors Imperial League of Australia (RSSILA, later the RSL) could use the park for 14 days a year, upon notifying the Warehouse Cricketers’ Association. In return, the BCC agreed to clear away the tree stumps on the site that possibly were left after trees were felled at Military Training Camp Chermside. In order to complete the tree stump removal, in 1930 the WCA applied for a grant under the Unemployment Relief Scheme that operated during the Great Depression (1929 - 1939).
Eventually six pitches were completed, making Marchant Park a major amateur cricket facility around Brisbane. The WCA now leases an area of 101 acres, 2 roods and 8 perches, virtually all of the old Marchant’s Paddock. But it had to survive a challenge, supported by Mr Harry Moore, the BCC Parks Superintendent and other notables, when application was made for nine-hole golf course in 1928 - 1929. The BCC refused the application ostensibly on the grounds of the quantity of green timber that would need to be destroyed in order to build the fairways. The George Hastie Cricket Pavilion was erected in the memory of the long-serving secretary and founding member of the WCA. In 1936, a severe storm swept across the park dragging one shed off its stumps and smashing the other, leading to a dispute between the Council and cricketers about who was responsible for the costs of repair work.
During World War Two (1939 - 1945), Marchant Park was utilised as a component of the Chermside Army Camp that was established across Ellison Road (in Sparkes’ Paddock) on the 7th of October 1940. Marchant Park was designated as “Camp Area “J” and, because it was a public space containing important cricket facilities, the park was to be used only for training purposes. No Army buildings were placed in the park, but, by the end of the war in 1945, vehicle training had caused some damage to the park’s cricket pitches.
George Hastie Players Pavilion:
A rectangular, freestanding single-skin timber hiproofed pavilion with a projecting gabled porch, the players’ pavilion provides perimeter seating for players and a scorers’ table centre front.
Marchant Memorial:
A squat rectangular monolith of quarry-faced granite set in the narrow oblong garden near the memorial gate entrance on Murphy Road commemorates the donation of land for the park by George Marchant in 1921.
The Kedron Shire War Memorial Gates were badly vandalised around 1972 and one of the marble tablets was smashed. Due to the efforts of the Chermside & Districts Historical Society, particularly research work undertaken by Pat O’Shea, the names of the servicemen on the destroyed tablet were rediscovered. A new tablet was produced and was positioned on the Kedron Shire War Memorial Gates at a ceremony held on the 30th of August 2003. Another mindless vandal attack on the Memorial Gates’ marble tablets, in early 2005, resulted in $480 damage that was repaired by the BCC. A detailed report about the maintenance and repair of the Memorial Gates was prepared by the BCC in October 2005. Damage to the Memorial Gates piers by a BCC bus resulted in another repair report prepared in July 2006.
An arson attack occurred on the WCA’s facilities at Marchant Park on the 25th of April 2006. While a storage shed, containing a mower, a pitch roller, and other WCA equipment was destroyed, the George Hastie Cricket Pavilion remained undamaged.

Van 3 t/m 6 september 2025 ben ik weer met mijn treinenspotmaat een paar dagen in Tsjechië geweest om weer te genieten van het mooie materieel en de fraaie landschappen. Deze keer hebben we wat meer lokale diesellijntjes bezocht. De modernisering van de Tsjechische diesellijnen gaat snel. Mooie klassieke series als de 810 en 854 verdwijnen steeds meer van het spoor, stationnetjes worden gemoderniseerd en klassieke beveiliging is ook nog nauwelijks meer in gebruik. Tijdens deze paar dagen in Tsjechië hebben we genoten van de fraaie oude dieseltreinen en tussendoor werden enkele stekken langs de hoofdbaan gepakt.
Na een lekker propvolle eerste dag met veel zon en mooie treinen op de zowel de diesellijntjes alsook een aantal hoofdlijnen, werd voor de laatste opname een diesellijn in de buurt van ons hotel opgezocht. De spoorlijn Pečky-Kouřim wordt al jaren met opheffing bedreigt. Een deel van de stoptreinen rijdt zelfs niet verder dan Plaňany. De fraaie lijn behoort nog steeds tot het inzetgebied van de Broodtrommels. Deze dag zat ook nog een leuke kleurvariant in de omloop die wij nog niet eerder hadden gespot. Reden te meer om in het laatste zonlicht nog een stekje aan deze lijn te zoeken.
Hier zien we de Čd 810 298-0 met Os 19334 Pečky-Kouřim bij Dobřichov op 3-9-2025. Op het digitale bordje achter het voorraam staat overigens het voorlaatste station Bošice, dus we laten maar in het midden waar de trein uiteindelijk "gestrand" is ;-).

Sherpas (of sorts) lug their gear up and over the steep dune path to The Beachcomber parking lot. It is a steady line of people in the afternoon, which reminded me of the bottleneck of mountain climbers approaching the "Hillary Step" section of Mt. Everest. (Which I guess is no longer there.)
Due to heavy erosion, the path has been reduced to "one lane." Beach-goers LEAVING the beach, who are heading up the slope have right of way, so if you are trying to go down the dunes in the afternoon, you might have to wait a bit. No problem though, because the view from the top is incredible. Done with the beach for the day.

Na de mislukte Slag om Arnhem in september 1944 worden duizenden achtergebleven geallieerde militairen opgevangen en verborgen door het plaatselijke verzet op de Veluwe. In de omgeving van Ede worden zo’n 400 airbornes verborgen gehouden. Men besluit hen zo snel mogelijk terug te brengen naar hun eigen troepen in bevrijd gebied, ten zuiden van de Rijn. Tijdens Operatie Pegasus I in de nacht van 22 op 23 oktober 1944 ontsnapten op deze manier 139 man.
In november 1944 werd een tweede ontsnappingsoperatie gepland, genaamd Pegasus II.
Op 16-11-1944 verzamelen 90 Airbornes zich in Meulunteren en gaan door slecht weer op pad en bereikten 's nachts het Wekeromse Zand en de volgende nacht boerderij Westerode. Via het Mosselse Veld trok men door naar de Planken Wambuis. Door het slechte weer liep men flinke vertraging op en besloot commendant Maguire de route in te korten. Dit tegen het advies van het verzet in. Het bleek een slecht besluit.
Aangekomen bij de Heidebloemlaan (de weg langs deze plas) bleken nog slechts 40 man aanwezig te zijn. Toen de achterblijvers weer op pad gingen richting de voorhoede aan de Heidebloemlaan, kwamen zij onder Duits vuur te liggen. Hierbij vielen gewonden en er werden krijgsgevangen gemaakt. Leider van de achterhoede majoor Coke raakte bij het wegkomen verdwaald en werd ’s nachts door Duits vuur gedood.
Maguire en de overgebleven groep hoorden dit vuurgevecht achter hen toen ze op weg waren van de Heidebloemlaan naar de straatweg Ede-Arnhem (nu is dat de N224). Bij het oversteken daarvan volgde vijandelijk mitrailleurvuur van alle kanten. De ontsnappers vluchtten in paniek alle kanten op en verscholen zich in het bos. Van de voorhoede zijn uiteindelijk nog 17 man bijeen, waaronder Maguire en twee Nederlandse gidsen. Ze passeren de in aanleg zijnde Rijksweg (nu A12) en stopten langs de spoorbaan. Daar werden ze in de vroege ochtend van 18 november 1944 gevangen genomen.
Slechts kleine groepjes wisten de Rijn te bereiken en slechts 7 deelnemers bereikten uiteindelijk vanaf daar bevrijd gebied.

Photograph taken at 11:48am on Wednesday 11th September 2013 between torrential rain showers, off the A821 Duke's Pass on the Three Loch's Achray Forrest Drive, beside Loch Achray, where the River Turk feeds into it's Southern forest edge.
Loch Achray is a small but extremely beautiful loch right at the heart of the Trossachs and only a mile from its larger neighbour, Loch Katrine. A popular fishing loch for brown trout, sea trout, perch, pike and salmon, it is situated near Callander where we were staying at the Abbotsford Lodge, in the Stirling Council area of Scotland.

Technical: I have set a personal best record for Photoshopping on this one. Almost all elements (peas, "torches", signs) were made with an AB400 in socked beauty dish at camera right triggered with pocketwizard. I shot everything from the exact same camera position and lighting so that they would all "seamlessly" mesh in the picture. Unfortunately, peas were destroyed in the making of this image.

The day before yesterday, 29 September 2020, I decided to drive out to the Kananaskis area of the mountains. A familiar drive, apart from the nasty overpass confusion on the southern edge of the city. For the second time this week, I ended up going in a direction that I most definitely did not want to go in. It took a lot of back-road driving to eventually get to a main highway going south. At the end of the day, I knew there was no way I wanted to face that overpass again, so I had a long drive cross-country over to the main highway that goes north/south. I did find a few things that I hadn't seen for a number of years, that I couldn't remember if I had taken photos of previously or not.
Normally, I don't do so many long drives, but I did want to get out and capture the glorious fall colour before it all fades away. Here in Alberta, the main colour of fall is yellow, with an occasional tree or bush that is orange or even red. On a sunny day, the yellow leaves still colour the city and countryside. This day, I noticed that the leaves on some trees are already beginning to lose their colour.
Having already done a lot of driving this past week, I knew roughly how far I wanted to travel yesterday. The Pikas were near the top of my mental 'wish list', and I was lucky enough to see one in the short time I stayed there. It came down the scree slope close enough for me to to get half a dozen photos, so I was happy. A few members of the Bighorn Sheep herd were down near the bottom of the mountainside when I arrived, and I watched as they climbed all the way up to the top of the mountain. Such nimble creatures.
These little Pikas/Rock Rabbits are only 6-9 inches long and are usually seen far away, running backwards and forwards over the scree (talus) slope that they call home. Very occasionally, one happens to come closer, usually for just a quick moment.
"The American Pika is a generalist herbivore. It eats a large variety of green plants, including different kinds of grasses, sedges, thistles and fireweed. Although pikas can meet their water demands from the vegetation they eat, they do drink water if it is available in their environment. Pikas have two different ways of foraging: they directly consume food (feeding) or they cache food in haypiles to use for a food source in the winter (haying). The pika feeds throughout the year while haying is limited to the summer months. Since they do not hibernate, pikas have greater energy demands than other montane mammals. In addition, they also make 13 trips per hour to collect vegetation when haying, up to a little over 100 trips per day." From Wikipedia.

A couple of short YouTube videos in case anyone wants to hear and see these absolutely cute creatures:
When I reached one area that I wanted to photograph, a large sign was warning people that there were multiple bears in the area. I only needed to walk a few steps, but the word 'bears' was in my mind.
A few quick stops to photograph a few of my favourite peaks were all that I managed. For most of the drive, there always seemed to be at least one vehicle behind me whenever I wanted to quickly stop. Not even a weekend, but there were so many people wanting to hike at this beautiful time of year. Ha, this time last year, we were dealing with a dreadful snow storm!
On September 29th, 1973, a new School house ROCK music video was played for the first time alongside your regular American Saturday morning cartoons such as Scooby-Doo, old Rocky and Bullwinkle show episodes and maybe some Johnny Quest. This new music video featured a diminutive stereotypical train conductor, two hobos (one fat and tall, and one small and skinny), and a train with words on it... not just any words, but CONJUNCTIONS, as the name of the video and location is Conjunction Junction. This train is shown below, with comments about what it could possibly be carrying in the fictional ROCK-verse.
All together, these train cars taught (and entertained!) generations of school-age children and some older adults about Conjunctions, and other videos taught about American history, the environment, math (multiplication tables up to 12 but skipping the number 1), science, money and even early home computers! (among MANY other subjects) All of them can be found on Disney +, as Disney owns ABC, which is who made the original music videos, and the newer ones up to 2009.
Photograph taken at 13:08pm on Thursday 12th September 2013 off the A85 in front of The Four Seasons Hotel, a one time house built in the 1800's that has been subsequently extended into a luxury hotel on the shoreline of Loch Earn in St Fillans, Perthshire, Scotland.
The sculptures are called "The Four Seasons" by Rob Mulholland, an installation artist who graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1986 and is now acclaimed internationally. The figures suggest anticipation,awaiting the return of others on a distant passage, a sense of homecoming, a return to and reconnection with our ancestral roots. Time, the passing of it, and the cycle of seasons are also reflected according to the artist.
They stopped me in my tracks as I drove past, and I returned to photograph them, completely mesmerized by them.

I was on the wrong side of the sun and 6508's new paint is a royal bitch to get a proper white balance off so I elected for the older feel with the black and white.
Funny the difference two years makes: www.flickr.com/photos/93850525@N02/10535602615/in/album-7...
In September 1979 Pat Filer took over four Bedford coaches from Country Kitchen Foods Ltd of Churchill , who were a well known local non-psv operator providing staff transport to their mushroom farm at Langford. When I was travelling to school in the mid 1960s they had four Leyland Royal Tigers with ECW C39F bodies , PHN801-4 , which were new to United in July 1952.
By 1979 they were running four Bedfords , VAMs HAR595G , BPX998G , and VALs VYT494G and BAA885J , and a Ford UYG973L.
VYT494G was a Bedford VAL70 / Duple Northern C53F new in May 1969 to Richmond, Epsom. It was painted in Filer's blue / cream livery by January 1981. It was used by Pensford Scouts as a non-psv from March 1984 , and last taxed to November 1986.
Parked in front of VYT494G is BPX998G , a Bedford VAM70 / Duple C45F new in June 1969 to Anstey, Haslemere.
HAR595G was a Bedford VAM70 / Duple Viceroy C45F new in May 1969 to Premier, Watford. It retained the brown livery with Filers and was out of use in the corner of the yard by June 1981.
Filer continued to provide the staff transport for Country Kitchen for a number of years.
It's 5 years since the last time we were here.
The view northwards from Holme Moss moor over Holmfirth with Huddersfield in the left distance. We were taking Woodhead Road over to the A638 and stopped to enjoy this view.
The tallest free-standing building in the UK is not that recent southern upstart, the Shard in London, but the 1083ft Emley Moor transmitter mast which opened in 1971. It can be seen in the distance, mid right.
In the very distant distance, far right, the North Yorkshire Moors could be seen on this very clear day.

Have a fabulous Thursday Ya'll.:)
Red Legged Seriema ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-legged_seriema ~ The red-legged seriema or crested cariama (Cariama cristata) is a mostly predatory terrestrial bird in the seriema family (Cariamidae), included in the "Gruiformes" in the old paraphyletic circumscription, but increasingly placed in a distinct order Cariamiformes (along with three extinct families). The red-legged seriema inhabits grasslands from Brazil south of the Amazon to Uruguay and northern Argentina. The area over which it occurs is estimated at 5.9 million km², though the bird is not found everywhere in this region of course. The species is absent from the Mata Atlântica and planalto uplands along the coast of Brazil.
Description ~ It is 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 in) long and weighs about 1.5 kg, with a fairly long neck, tail, and legs. The plumage is medium brown above with black markings; pale brown on the head, neck, and breast; and white on the belly. The tail has a black band near the tip and a white tip. The beak and legs are red, and the eyes are yellow. Soft feathers emerge from the base of the bill to form a fan-shaped crest.
Many other characteristics are shared with the black-legged seriema (Chunga burmeisteri), the only other living member of its family. Some of these traits are discussed in the Cariamidae article.
The song has a quality described as "a cross between 'the serrated bark of a young dog and the clucking of turkeys'".[3] At the loudest part of the song, the bird has its neck bent so its head is touching its back. Both members of a pair as well as young down to the age of two weeks sing; often one member of a family starts a song just as another finishes, or two sing simultaneously. The song can be heard several kilometres away; in Emas National Park, Brazil, in 1981–1982, observers often heard four red-legged seriemas or groups singing at once.
The full song consists of three sections:
Repeated single notes at constant pitch (1,200 to 1,300 Hz) and duration but increasing tempo
Repeated two- or three-note subphrases of slightly higher pitch with increasing tempo
Subphrases of up to 10 notes, shorter ones rising in pitch and longer ones falling, two-subphrase combinations increasing in number of notes and tempo and then decreasing in tempo.
Ecology ~ The red-legged seriema prefers grassland habitat to any other. Though it likes to inhabit lush meadows near rivers, it will not readily move into wetlands or crop fields. It is usually seen singly or in pairs, but sometimes in groups up to four, apparently families. It typically walks on the ground and can easily run faster than a human in its habitat. It will flee a car on foot at speeds up to 25 km/h (15 mi/hr) before flying.
In one conflict between two birds, they jumped at each other feet-first, keeping their balance by flapping.
This species nests on the ground or in a bush or tree up to 3 m above the ground. In the latter case adults jump into the nest rather than fly.
September 1963
A high wall stops even the most determined child in the class from trying to escape.
The art lesson features the rotten jars of liquid paint, that stops any young budding artist experimenting with other colours and shades, each jar has its own brush and they must not be mixed.
At the start of the lesson you were given two or three jars of paint, later you would swap your jars for different colours, Once you had gone through all the colours you could then repeat the range until your painting was finished.
They thought I was strange at the age of six, by not wanting to use all their jars of these bright colours. For most of the time I wanted to keep the jar of black paint - All railway steam engines were black in the early 1960s (weren't they?).
When we started the lesson one of the jars would be black or brown (made up of the paint from the previous day, plus two colours of the teachers choice. Later they would be changed for a different set.
For the previous five years I had never been made to share things, now I found having to change to different colours or the like a bit of an annoyance.
Breaking off in the middle of the lesson to go for a pee was allowed, what was annoying on return was finding that another child had decided to dip their brush in your paint whilst you were away, yellow now took on a greenish hue, white might now be pink.
Others had found a easy solution by not leaving their easel, a puddle on the floor was put down to spilled water from your brush washing up jar, when outside, there was never any evidence. When I was told to wear waterproof pants after minor accidents during rest time, I too never left my easel to visit the toilet.
---------------------------------------------------------
I didn't much like the idea of school - there were too many other children, I started school at the age of six (a year later than the others). "Philip is gradually learning to be a co-operative member of the group"
At my second infant school at the age of six and a half, I was put back a year and was with a class of five year olds, more fun and play at this school.
Then another move just before I was seven, I was then on my third infant school, and managed to become the first infant in many years to receive the cane from the headmistress. "His work was generally messy and untidy. He is highly strung"
It made a good start for my next seven Junior & primary schools until I was eleven.

September 15, 258/365 (1354/1461)- One of my students was playing with her long hair when I was thinking about photos of girls doing this in the water with wet hair, didn't think we should go down to the pool right then. We tried several different angles that all worked, but most of the students liked this one with the "Sonic the Hedgehog" look to it the best.
Strobist- SB900 overhead and slightly behind her, 2 SB900's camera left and right about waist level and behind her, all zoomed tight and aimed at her hair. All fired TTL CLS, -1.0ev. Lots of fun but I imagine she has a pretty good headache by now.

September 1963.
A close up view of a summer art session at school.
Someone with a degree in child psychology will be able to work out what a six year old boy in the early 1960s has on his mind, and why he wants to wear his wellingtons in school on a dry summer day.
To me, a sand dune that had a clump grass in it with some barbed wire with a dead seep caught up in it, or some totally different idea a child can put down from their mind if a teacher does not interfere.
The one positive matter about painting outside the classroom is that cleaning up afterwards is a lot easier, after the jar of paint falls over.
------------------------------
I started school in January 1963 at the age of six.
Burnham on Sea in Somerset seemed to be one massive snow drift. Having lived in London up to this point I had never seen so much snow.
I really did not know what to expect with this new idea of school, for the first few days of the term, just a few pupils turned up as it was impossible for most of the children to even manage to get close to the school. I had no excuse for not turning up, together with another boy we were boarders, I think it was the only school were I got a mark for most days of the term.
The weather was poor, we were allowed outside in the small garden and playground, most of us wore wellingtons in class during our lessons to stop having to change several times during the day.
Due to the freezing weather, the water to the boys toilet had frozen solid for several days, those of us aged five to nine we were sent out to a remote area of the garden if we wanted a pee, out of sight of the girls and adults. Those under five were allowed to use the girls lavatory, these were also for us if we needed to be seated.
With so few of us in lessons, the first part of the term was not very productive in work, if one of the teachers could not make it in, two groups were put together.
For fun there was often the request made by us in the middle of a lesson, that we needed to have a pee again, it might have been the cold, but the fun of peeing in the garden was probably more on our minds.
After a few months I was sent to an ordinary local infants, my lack of school at the age of five meant I was well behind the others, so a move was thought best for me.
------------------------------------------------------
My second infant school at the age of six and a half was much more fun than my first infant school, other than some written work, there was much more play in lessons instead of been sat in rows of desks.
The only things I did not like about this second infant school, was that I had to learn the ITA English alphabet with its 44 letters, I could not understand it, I could already read with the normal 26 letter alphabet.
The other matter was a short afternoon rest period when the teacher read us a story, we were meant to lie face down on the mats or camp beds, due to weak bladder muscles, I ended up with a small damp patch on my shorts. I was then sent to school wearing waterproof pants, until my fidgeting got me sent out to spend the period in the playground, I was not alone a girl from the same class was sent out with me for not wanting to listen to the stories. There was a little embarrassment as I still was sent to school in the waterproof pants, my mother not realising that I had been sent out of the rest period for been a naughty fidget, it was easier to let her think I still went for an afternoon nap and needed to wear my waterproofs under my shorts, which was ideal to cover up any damp underpants that had happened during the day.
During art lessons, we started the lesson often with just three jars of paint, one of the jars would be black or brown (made up of the paint from the previous day), plus two colours of the teachers choice. Later they would be changed for a different set.
For the previous five years I had never been made to share things, now I found having to change to different colours or the like a bit of an annoyance.
Breaking off in the middle of the lesson to go for a pee was allowed, what was annoying on return was finding that another child had decided to dip their brush in your paint whilst you were away, yellow now took on a greenish hue, white might now be pink. Others had found a easy solution by not leaving their easel, a puddle on the floor was put down to spilled water from your brush washing up jar, when outside, there was never any evidence, I too never left my easel to visit the toilet.
At this second school at the age of six, I was shown and taught by a five year old girl, what our differences were.
Not having been with any other children before the age of six, I knew there was some differences between boys and girls, but exactly what was what - I had little knowledge of.
In an isolated quite area of the playground, the girl told me that she wanted to find out what was in my underpants and did it behave the same as her brothers' when she touched it, he was two years older than her.
I was so innocent of the facts of life.
On another break I was given a demonstration of how she had to go for a pee once she had removed her knickers.
Later when no other children were around, I had to demonstrate to her how accurately a boy could pee.
At my third infant school I was allowed to go without waterproof pants, a thick pair of very absorbent underpants and a pair of shorts that look like ordinary school shorts but were actually waterproof themselves solved any future problems.

Five more photos taken on 24 September 2021, on an autumn drive to Kananaskis.
These little Pikas/Rock Rabbits are only 6-9 inches long and are usually seen far away, running backwards and forwards over the scree (talus) slope that they call home. Very occasionally, one happens to come somewhat closer, usually for just a quick moment.
"The American Pika is a generalist herbivore. It eats a large variety of green plants, including different kinds of grasses, sedges, thistles and fireweed. Although pikas can meet their water demands from the vegetation they eat, they do drink water if it is available in their environment. Pikas have two different ways of foraging: they directly consume food (feeding) or they cache food in haypiles to use for a food source in the winter (haying). The pika feeds throughout the year while haying is limited to the summer months. Since they do not hibernate, pikas have greater energy demands than other montane mammals. In addition, they also make 13 trips per hour to collect vegetation when haying, up to a little over 100 trips per day." From Wikipedia.

A couple of short YouTube videos in case anyone wants to hear and see these absolutely cute creatures:
On 24 September 2021, the day could not have been more beautiful, especially for seeing the spectacular fall colours. The colours simply glowed! Unfortunately, we aren't lucky enough to have the amazing red colours of Maple trees, but our mainly yellows with some orange are still breathtaking.
My day started at 8:45 am and ended when I arrived back home just before 7:00 pm. A total distance of 418 km. As usual, I drove south from the city and then northwards on the highway that goes through Kananaskis. Unlike my previous trip, I drove further north so that I could call in at two or three extra locations. I was sure that one in particular would be looking spectacular with all the fall colour.
Again, I stopped to see if I could see one of the tiny Pikas/Rock Rabbits and I was in luck briefly. Travelling further north, I stopped at my usual places to photograph my favourite mountain peaks. At one of them, I couldn't resist checking to see if there were still any of the Shaggy Mane mushrooms growing. Amazing how 50 or so of them can vanish without a trace. How lucky I was to see them on my previous visit. So beautiful, but so temporary.
Despite the fact that it was a Friday, there were so many people making the most of the great weather. Parking lots for various hiking trails were overflowing way down the highway in both directions. Endless motorcyclists and a few regular cyclists, too. So many cattle everywhere.

September morning.pen and ink, sketchbook. In many of my more recent drawings I've used a Pentel artist's grey felt tip to give shadow in places. One of the noticable thing is as one moves through the year is that one observes changes in light and clarity of objects. I hope these are reflected in my current drawing. I still use both pages, this helps with the compositional unity of each piece.
These drawings have been influenced by David Hockney's sketchbooks of his native Yorkshire in recent years and also Van Gogh's reed pen drawings.

Photograph taken at 11:30am an altitude of One Thousand, eight hundred and sixteen metrres on Sunday 14th September 2014 having taken the Creekside Gondola up to Whistler mountain, in the Fitzsimmons Range of the Pacific ranges of coastal mountains on the Northwestern edge of Garibaldi Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.
The mountain stands Two thousand, one hundred and eighty one metres tall and is approximately One hundred million years old. I stayed for three days at the Whistler Blackcomb resort at The Crystal Lodge in the village, and could not wait to visit both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains via the world famous Peak 3 Peak Gondola.
The peak 2 peak gondola at Whistler Blackcomb took two years to construct, connecting the alpine of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and spaning 4.4km in length. The ride time takes Eleven minutes with one cabin, capable of seating Twenty eight people, departing every Forty nine seconds. The Gondola runs on an 8,850 metre long, 56 millimetre thick centre haul rope, with two 56 millimetre outer track ropes to support the weight and has a maximum speed of 7.5 metres per second.
The Gondola system holds three world records for longest unsupported span, highest lift of it's kind and the world's lonmgest continuous lift system. A two day adult pass, allowing you to travel twice on the peak 2 peak gondala and as many times as you wish on the smaller additional chair lifts at either mountain, costs just $62 (a single day pass is ten dollars less). To reach the summit of Whistler mountain also required an additional open ski chair lift ride which was totally awesome.

September 26
First thing this morning, I got the RED all built and ready, and Emily and I drove to the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. Today was actually just the part where people show off their bikes and enter a contest or something, but there were some really cool bikes there! We saw Brandon and hung with him a little bit, but mainly I got some shots that I needed for Sofi’s video. I’m really close to being finished with that thing!
When the shoot was over, we drove back to Dallas, unloaded camera gear, loaded up with boxes, and drove back to Denton to dump it all into our storage unit. Based on our first load, the size of our unit should be perfect. We saw my people back at Westridge, and we all determined that we were starving. For lunch we went to Tex Tapas. It wasn’t bad! They have a lot of weird food and weird drinks, but everything we tried was very good, albeit a tad pricy.
While we were eating lunch, I made the mistake of pulling up Zillow. I found an amazing new build that is in our price range and fits our style really well. At my mother’s suggestion, we drove out to see it and found that there’s an entire neighborhood being built that is made up of these mid-century-style homes. We actually discussed the idea of just buying the place today, but we decided to wait until some of the other ones finish being built so we can buy one of them instead. Jeez.
Finally, we wandered around Westridge Manor with my peeps and talked about its needs. The place is destined for a deep clean in the near future for sure. I’m actually a bit excited to see the place all sprucy and clean.

Thanks to Wendy for doing my make up.
When I saw this challenge I had an idea to splatter colored powder all over my face. However I don't know where to buy colored powder and couldn't figure out how to make it stick without ruining it. So then I thought maybe I would have paint wars to get my effect. So I went with Wendy to see what we could find. Of course found no paint that was thick enough to not run after it splatted. I happened to come across colored sand. Perfect! So I got blue and Wendy got green and we decided to have fun playing with sand. Wendy is much better at putting the sand on than I am. I suck at putting make-up of any sorts on people. I must admit it was a lot of fun. Although we were very limited on time b/c the glue was starting to peel. I am still pulling sand out of my nose, hair, and ears.
I think there is a booger in my nose. I so want to pick it out. It is distracting me.
I NEED A TITLE? Any suggestions?
