Celebrating our birthdays with a 4-day trip to Banff.
This stand of trees is actually on a peninsula, but heavy snowfall and lake ice have created the illusion of an island.
In order to facilitate the DNO (electric main) connection to the hew booking office building, a temporary generator was installed. One evening the switch between the buildings was completed, and the next night the old building was demolished. This is all that is left of the old building, and next to go will be the portable cabin nearer the camera which formerly housed the Virgin Trains despatcher, who now has a cubicle on the end of the new building.
If this was in California, there would be rolling tomato brown-outs for days. Seen in Tualatin, Oregon.
Best seen large.
Another shot from the same shrine grounds in Kyoto, this time showing the temporary 'shelters' (cannot call the really restaurants, despite the title) where people can have some food while wtaching at the trees - typical setting for matsuris in general, not only hanami.
To Support Displaced Youth from Fallujah
Inauguration of Temporary Premises of Fallujah University (Dorms and Classrooms)
in Abu Ghraib, Baghdad
On 23 June 2016, the temporary premises of Fallujah University, located inside the Veterinary College, Baghdad University in Abu Ghraib, were inaugurated. With the generous contribution from the Government of Japan, the temporary premises of Fallujah University were established by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) providing 25 classrooms and 128 residential units that can accommodate 512 students, in addition to basic site infrastructure and an administration building. The project aimed at supporting displaced youth who bear enormous and long-lasting human, social and economic costs.
His Excellency Mr. Sohaib Al-Rawi, Governor of Anbar, who attended the event, commented that while the Anbar Governorate has been supporting institutions displaced by violence outside and within Anbar, including Fallujah University, the ongoing financial crisis has affected all aspects of people’s lives and limited the government’s capacity to support. The Governor acknowledged the efforts of UN agencies and the ongoing support of UN-Habitat on housing self-repair and shelter projects within Ramadi. He expressed his gratitude to all those who stand with people of Iraq, and specifically of Fallujah, in the midst of the hardship they face.
On UN-Habitat’s side, Dr. Erfan Ali, Head of Iraq Programme, pointed out that lack of access to education among youth is one of the key factors that fuel a cycle of poverty, hopelessness and frustration. He expressed his hope that these new premises of Fallujah University will enable young women and men from Fallujah to continue their education and play an active role as agents of positive and constructive change.
Mr. Hirofumi Miyake, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim, Embassy of Japan in Iraq, stated that Japan also has its own internally displaced persons, resulting from disasters of tsunamis, earthquakes, debris, and the latest nuclear accident, and therefore the people of Japan understand very well the importance of support to displaced persons in Iraq. He further emphasized that Japan will continue to sustain the efforts of UN-Habitat to improve the living conditions of the displaced persons in Iraq.
Dr. Ibraheem Abdulkareem, Deputy President of Fallujah University, stated that the completion of the new premises of Fallujah University has provided a glimpse of hope in the heart of displaced students, and he recognized that the inauguration is concomitant to the liberation of Fallujah.
On his part, Mr. Sattar Nawroz Khan, General Director of Migration at the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, praised the joint cooperation and partnership between multiple actors, including the Governments of Iraq and Japan, Anbar Governorate, Fallujah University, and UN-Habitat, that enabled the positive results of the overall project.
This project was implemented within the framework of larger programme titled “Humanitarian Support to Internally Displaced Persons in Iraq through Provision of Durable Shelter,” funded by the Government of Japan, aiming to improve the living conditions of internally displaced persons in Iraq through the provision of prefabricated durable shelters, and thereby to support and strengthen their self reliance.

The look of the street doesn't help: heavy lorries have broken many paving stones, so the County Council recently replaced a lot of them with 'temporary' tarmac. Hopefully the 'Square Routes' scheme will see this removed. News story: virtual-lancaster.blogspot.com/2011/07/council-gets-set-f...

Psalm 90:5-6
You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep; In the morning they are like grass which sprouts anew. In the morning it flourishes and sprouts anew; Toward evening it fades and withers away.
Psalm 103:15-16
As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.
1 Peter 1:24-25The Message (MSG)
22-25 Now that you’ve cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That’s why the prophet said,
The old life is a grass life,
its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers;
Grass dries up, flowers droop,
God’s Word goes on and on forever.
This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.

"Sitting on the cold dirty floor
I want to finish the counting of days on the walls
I build a ladder from broken wish bones
And square-shaped stones
That my friends threw down in the hole
Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wonder while
Looking at the sun..."

On Oct. 16, 2009, the 80 year old Champlain Bridge between Crown Point, NY and Addison, Vermont was closed. It was demolished on Dec. 28, 2009.
Since the bridge was the only land route between Essex County, NY and Addison County, Vermont, it was finally replaced by a free 24/7 ferry on February 1, 2010. A new bridge should be finished by the latter part of 2011.

This is a part of Entergy of Mississippi's project to replace the old wooden poles on this line with taller ones as well as installing a second set of triple-phase electrical power lines or a second circuit as the crew calls it, delivering more electrical power to the ever growing Rex Lumber Company Mill which was drawing way more power than the current grid could handle and with a newer transformer installed over at the nearby Brookhaven Substation, the Rex Lumber Company Mill can operate more efficiently without putting too much strain on the rest of the system.
This project is being done by a subcontractor called Shelton Energy Solutions... a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is based in Alexandria, Louisiana.
I am one of many graffiti-archeologists, trying to preserve these temporary artworks for future generations with a camera.
Graffiti is indeed temporary art, sometimes it stays several years, sometimes it survives several months, sometimes only days. But in the end it will be either get painted over, or erased by city officials, or the wall will get torn down. Besides, not all locations are easily accessible (distant, hidden, dangerous,..) so not everyone has the chance to stumble upon this art by accident.
Graffiti-archeologists take pictures in order to preserve art and give everyone access. Many artists understand this symbiosis and are happy to share a beer in exchange for a photo. Some aren't convinced, and prefer to keep their work hidden and secret.
What's your view?
