Going through my library. I have too much pictures! I saw a few I want to edit and shit, but we shall see if I have time. Work has been annoyingly busy. So very tired now.
Taken last year I think. Around this month. Or maybe august/september. I'm not really sure. I look skinnier. I was less happy. I'm glad my life moved on.
Ohio was crazy cold! I will maybe post pictures eventually. I left my camera in my real house. *sigh* Lake Placid, you are only good for working.
So the birthday is coming up soon. I want to buy a new cam! But the funds are lacking. Meh. I need birthday funds!
Celebrating its 31st year of tradition, Sunset Hills Elementary School will host the annual lambatha event.
"Because of Tarpon Springs' large Greek community, the Greek word "lambatha" was substituted for "luminary" when the tradition began more than 30 years ago.
The event was established after a group of Sunset Hills students developed a project to raise money for the Pinellas County Schools Economics Fair. As a form of advertisement, the group sold bags to local businesses and proposed their plan to light up the bayou.
Once the idea was approved by the school principal, mayor, city manager and fire department, the project was set in motion.
On Christmas Eve in 1986, the bags were placed along Spring Bayou and the candles were lit at dusk. The city experienced its first lambatha display.
City officials were so impressed with the outcome, it became an annual event and even made its way onto the city calendar."

A larger-than-life-sized copy of the 1994 painting by local artist Christopher M. Still decorates the Welcome Center of the Tarpon Springs Chamber of Commerce. It was unveiled in March 2020 and depicts the sponge fishing scene on the Anclote River of a century ago. It is a very familiar work as my wife bought a print of this painting some years ago, and I have long admired it.
The Tarpon Springs chemical plant that was an important customer of local railroads is just an empty field in January of 2011, after the government cleaned up chemical wastes on the site. In the upper image, a fence blocks the entrance where ACL and SAL trains once entered the property. In the lower image, rail crossing markings incredibly still show on the pavement where the tracks crossed the road, even though the tracks were removed way back in the late 1980s. This is near the portion of Anclote Boulevard (County Road 84) where the ACL and SAL tracks came together before entering the plant along a shared spur. Courtesy Ken Ramp Jr.

Ft. Howard Park, Tarpon Springs, FL
Holding hands in solidarity:
opposing oil drilling,
supporting renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal; NOT nuclear or fossil fuels).
Over 210 people protested on our local beach at noon on June 26, 2010.
Not ready to mourn the death of the Gulf of Mexico.
Can only hope that this beach will still be beautiful this time next year.
I took these Nine Photographs on December 31, 2005 at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Tarpon Avenue in Tarpon Springs, Florida during the Christmas Season.
We made Kit Kat ice cream. Grammy had the idea of making chocolate bowls by melting chocolate, dipping balloons into the chocolate, allowing it to harden, then popping the balloons.

Howard Park in Tarpon Springs, Florida, on July 4th, 2006 - everyone started slowly turning or walking to the west and it took a minute for us to glance over and see. Anyone who was there will also remember this first time in many years they opened the park for Independence Day then with a vehicle accident, authorities kept thousands stranded on this inlet for hours.
