It was quite a surprise to see 'plain Jane' Arriva blue 57316 helming the 'Snowdonia Statesman' charter, I'd assumed that this had surrendered the blue for the infamously drab maroon some time ago. It turns out the rear loco, 57313, hadn't either. The 06:00 Cambridge - Blaenau Ffestiniog clatters through Glan Conwy running some 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
I took this photo at 11:35 and I'd rolled out of bed at only 11:00. With no time for any means of breakfast, I sprinted for the X19 bus and caught it with about five seconds to spare.

Palm Springs Air Museum. The ceremony took place on the USS Missouri, which was anchored in Tokyo Bay on Sept 2, 1945 (almost a month after the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima).
Here's some photos from a figure giveaway contest I entered last year. I didn't win but I really enjoyed just participating.
I kept it pretty simple.
I wanted to focus on the German. He managed to get enough courage up to surrender, but now will he help the enemy by giving away German positions?

Week 14 of Project 52 - Surrender
A shot from my trip to Bangkok, Thailand in December 2010. Taken at the BTS station, a stray that seemed pretty listless and lethargic. It was 10am, the start of a new day, but this poor buddy had risen the white flag.

Hostilities are stilled

Built as church & school for Poonindie Mission Station, first service 17 May 1855, known as St Matthew’s by 1867, renovated 1913, 1954 & 2005, still in use. Poonindie Mission Station founded 10 Sep 1850 by Archdeacon Matthew Hale, lease surrendered by 1894 and aboriginal people transferred to Point Pearce & Point McLeay, 300 acres dedicated as an aboriginal reserve.
“Poonindie was founded in 1850 by Archdeacon Hale, now Bishop of Brisbane. It consists of 15,455 acres of fair land, some arable, and all good sheep country. Of this 250 acres are under crop — 220 wheat and 30 hay. This year the yield has been 2,400 bushels of wheat and about 60 tons of hay; 9,000 sheep are depastured, from which the clip last season gave 115 bales. There are also 150 head of horned cattle and 30 horses. . . There is quite a little township, consisting of a chapel, school, store, Superintendent's and farm manager's residences, eleven neat brick and eight upright log cottages standing close together, all as spotlessly white as whitewash can make them, and three detached cottages for boundary riders.” [Register 15 Feb 1876]
“Dr. Hammond, late of the Assay-Office, goes to Port Lincoln this week, to succeed the Archdeacon in the management, of the Poonindie Institution.” [Register 2 Jul 1856]
“The church had a cellar, a chimney, and living rooms upstairs because it was occupied by Archdeacon Hales and his family. It was also used for a time I think, by his successor, Rev. Hammond.” [Port Lincoln Times 20 May 1954]
“Cutting up the Poonindie Mission Station. —The Government are negotiating with the trustees of the Poonindie Mission Station to obtain possession of the land belonging to the station, so that is may be cut up into small holdings. . . the land would grow wheat, and that it was suitable for vineyards and orchards; in fact, admirably adapted for small holdings and working men's blocks.” [Register 9 May 1893]
“St. Matthews, Poonindie. . . This being the jubilee year of the church it was decided that the event be celebrated by an effort to commemorate the work of Bishop Hale, the founder of the Poonindie Natives' Institution, and afterwards Archdeacon of Adelaide, and successively Bishop of Perth and Bishop of Brisbane. It was suggested that a memorial window be placed in the church.” [Register 23 Apr 1901]
“The public schoolroom at Poonindie has been engaged by the Baptist Missioner, Port Lincoln, for Divine worship. The services are to be conducted on every alternate Sunday afternoon. The head teacher of the Poonindie School (Miss Ada Archer) was at one time engaged in Zenana work at the Baptist Mission in India.” [Register 28 Jun 1913]
“Mr. J. Burke has begun renovations to St. Matthew's Church, Poonindie, which is more than 100 years old. The church, notable for its two chimneys, is closely associated with the early pioneers of the district and was connected with a native mission. The building will be provided with a new floor and ceiling and will be repaired and painted.” [Advertiser 31 Mar 1954]
“The Bishop of Willochra (Rt. Rev. Dr. R. Thomas) will conduct the reopening ceremony at St Matthew's Church, Poonindie, on July 25. More than £700 is being spent on renovating the church, which was founded as a native mission station more than 100 years ago by Archdeacon Hale.” [Advertiser 12 Jul 1954]
