Amherst Town Tomb.
Commonly seen in older New England cemeteries and built in the mid to late 1800s is what was known as the "receiving tomb". Previous to this when grandma kicked the bucket in the middle of winter you would store her in the barn until spring and the ground was soft enough to dig a grave. But in the 1800s many cemeteries built these tombs to receive the dead and store them until warmer weather (or for whatever other reason the final resting place wasn't ready) at which point their graves would be dug and the bodies moved to their final resting places. With the invention of the steam shovel and other powered digging tools there was no longer as much of need for these and they are not seen in newer cemeteries.
However they have not completely fallen out of favor. The one at Lowell Cemetery built around this same time frame is still used for this purpose today sometimes including holding bodies temporarily for other nearby cemeteries.

For a few weeks at least, a Class 92 is temporarily a rare sight on the Highlander. With the Mk5s rolled-out on the Lowlander and all bar one CAF-modded Class 92s converted to 1500v ETS to work them, it has been almost all hired-in Freightliner 90s working the old stock on the Highlander.
Fresh from a rare trip to Dollands Moor/HS1, Class 92, 92 010, was stepping in whilst the 90s undertook A Exams. Working 1M16 south through Acton Bridge in the dawn light, there won't be too many more occasions to capture 92010 (or any 92) on the old sleeper stock.
The cicadas arrived in droves but they won't be here for long. They only live a short time once they leave their subterranean lives behind.
we are back to black (well, zebra-striped) mountains and brown fields for exactly ONE day — snow in the forecast tonight and back into the negative teens for temps…

This is a very tricky one. I know many of you won't like it since there is no subject in it. Just the sea and the sky. But is that really important? If you think so, just skip this image...
Here's an attempt to explain it.
I've been a long time Hiroshi Sugimoto fan. Who isn't familiar with Sugimoto's U2 album cover? This very minimalistic photograph has been copied many times by other artists but somehow they always fail to capture the essence. So what is the essence? I've been thinking of this for a very long time until P R I M E R referred me to a very interesting interview on Sprayblog with photographer David Fokos.
I've been struggling for a long time to describe why I love minimalistic long exposure images. And this outstanding photographer David Fokos just hit the nail on its head. This is what he said (or just read the complete article):
(…)
I believe that our sense of experience is built up over time – a composite of many short-term events. I will often suggest this analogy: Suppose you meet someone for the first time. Your impression of that person is not a snapshot in your mind of the first time you saw that person, but rather a portrait you have assembled from many separate moments. Each time that person exhibits a new facial expression or hand gesture, you add that into your impression of who that person is. Your image of that person — how you feel about that person — is formed over time, rather than upon a single expression or gesture. Likewise, I believe that our impression of the world is based upon our total experience. For example, the ocean has always made me feel calm, relaxed, and contented. If I were to take an instantaneous snapshot of the ocean, the photo would include waves with jagged edges, salt spray, and foam. This type of image does not make me feel calm — it does not represent how the ocean makes me feel as I stare out over the water. What I am responding to is the underlying, fundamental form of the ocean, its vast expansiveness and the strong line of the horizon, both of which are very stable, calming forms that I find relaxing. So, I had to find a way to brush away the messy, “visual noise” of the waves to get to the essence of my experience. I have done this by using my camera’s unique ability to average time, through the use of long exposures. In this way I am able to quell the visual noise (e.g. the short-term temporal events like breaking waves or zooming cars) to reveal a sort of hidden world. It is a very real world to be sure – the camera was able to record the scene – it is just not one that we normally experience visually.
Our bodies respond to many types of stimuli. What we see – the visual information – is just one type of stimulus, though it is often the most overpowering of the senses. However, due to the short wavelengths of visible light, this information is presented to us in an infinite series of frozen snapshot moments. Our bodies also react to other types of stimuli on longer time scales – our sense of touch, smell, hearing, etc. The wavelengths of sound waves are much longer than those of light so it takes our body longer to capture a “sound snapshot”. Our skin reacts to sunlight, another stimulus, but how long does it take for us to get a tan or sunburn? The point is that the world exists as a time continuum, not just a frozen snapshot. Our bodies respond to the world in a cumulative way, averaging our experience as we pass through time. Using my camera’s ability to average time through long exposures, I can reveal what our world “looks” like based on a longer time scale. My photographic process acts as a translator – translating from the “invisible” world of non-instantaneous events, into the visible world as a photographic print. In a way, it is like peeling back a page to reveal a world that, while very real, is not experienced visually. We feel it. We sense it. But in general, we don’t see it.(…)
And (…) When I make an image I know exactly on what I want the viewer to focus and what I want them to see and feel. By reducing my images to austere minimalist compositions I force the viewer to more closely examine what I have left in the frame thus intensifying the viewer’s observation and appreciation of the few things that remain in the image. Furthermore (…) To compose in a minimal way, I decide what it is that I wish to convey – what is it in the scene that I want the viewer to focus their attention upon, and what emotion I want to evoke. Then, I try to minimize anything else that competes with that. The composition becomes critical – specifically how the main elements interact with any lesser elements, the horizon, the positive and negative spaces created by their placement, the edges of the frame and the tension or harmony created by the positions of everything. (…) Please note that when I say “main element” I do not mean “subject matter”. My subject matter is the feeling I am trying to convey. The objects in my images are simply supporting characters.(…)
Well there you have it. Just trying to capture what I feel when looking at the sea by averaging our experience over time and trying to eliminate all other elements that can distract the viewer from the essence.

The idea for the hotel was first conceived by a man by the name of Harry Bralove, who had plans to build a combination of temporary and residential living. Bralove hired noted architect Joseph Abel to build the place. The doors of The Shoreham Hotel opened on October 30, 1930 with a building cost of $4 million. Rudy Vallee, a legendary bandleader and entertainer, was flown out to perform for the grand opening.
The Omni Shoreham has hosted a gaggle of famous entertainers over the years in the legendary Blue Room and the Marquee Bar and Lounge. Some of those entertainers include: Judy Garland, Phyllis Diller, Benny Goodman, Aretha Franklin, Peggy Lee, George Kirby, Pearl Bailey, Eartha Kitt, the New Journeyman, Smothers Brothers, Bill Cosby, Tony Bennett, Bob Hope, and countless others. The Blue Room is also the place where John Kennedy brought Jackie Kennedy when they were still courting and where Liza Minelli had her first public performance.
The opening of on Halloween night might have been a foreshadowing of the historic hotel's apparent haunting. The strange occurrences have been reported in the rooms where a maid and young girl died and thus, those rooms have been named "The Ghost Suites."

This "love lock" is locked on a rope, on top of an active volcano. Eternal love (or until next eruption...)
Bonkers, freshly washed (with a damp pet wipe) and groomed with a nice comb, resting on the bed. He was purring gently while I cleaned him up (lately, he’s fallen into the litter box and smells a bit like urine - the pet wipe helped with that particular issue but his tunic needs to be washed). He’s still purring softly next to me...
It was amazing to see what the tide would do to the water level ... In the morning, you could jump from pool to pool - in the late afternoon, you could kite surf at the same spot. Just amazing! #Tanzania #beach-life
So this custom was an attempt to see how much I could customise a body aesthetically. I bought this temporary tattoo and applied it on after spraying the back with matte sealer then applied it like I would on human skin.
MSC for some reason really emphasised the edges of the clear parts but Testors Dullcote helped it blend onto the plastic really well heh.

Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.
