He seems happy enough, she looks terrified. It made it even more entertaining seeing her so horrified.
4466. Way back at pic NOs 187-191 we produced a series of five images of the 1370-2120-tons [full load] survey frigate HMAS BARCOO driven ashore at West Beach, Glenelg a beachside suburb of Adelaide on Saturday April 11, 1948. Ships in the Port of Adelaide had been hit by a freak storm at midnight on Friday, and BARCOO, with all but 50 of her crew ashore and her engines shut down, was one of four vessels to drag their anchors or break free of moorings, with three freighters seriously damaged in the port area.
With houses and other buildings unroofed, there was also a considerable amount of damage ashore. Along with the storm and HMAS BARCOO's dilemma, our story also repeated an account of the miserable experience of a local fisherman, ARCH PUDNEY, who was to spend two nights alone sheltering in a old kiosk, next to an old police shed at the end of the disintegrating Glenelg jetty.
Mr Pudney had been called out at the height of the storm to help cast off a police launch ARHIE BADENACH [which was almost immediately driven ashore]. Then, to the great alarm of Mr Pudney and a police constable left with him, the jetty itself began to break up around them. The policeman made a desperate but successful run across the disintegrating structure to safety. But poor Mr Pudney - a non-swimmer - had been too horror-struck by his situation to try it.
He spent a terrifying night seeking shelter in the kiosk, also threatening to break up around him.
The next day, five surf life-savinfg smimmers had braved huge waves and debris to reach him, but again the poor man, frozen and demoralised, could not bring himself to get into the rough water with them. He would spend yet another freezing night in the kiosk, before a boat reached him the next day and he was rescued - suffering hypothermia, but otherwise uninjured.
These notes were extracted from a Marine Life Society of South Australia online report, which can be found here:

HMAS BARCOO, meantime, had come ashore on the nearby beach, and would remain there for some time [reports of the time BARCOO was grounded vary, from between around 10 days up to several weeks]. The RAN's official website avoids the subject altogether. In any event, BARCOO received little damage, and once a dredge had scoured a channel she was towed back into open water, and departed with her survey companion, the sloop HMAS WARREGO [seen offshore above], under her own steam.
Later, the road leading to West beach pier would be named Barcoo Road, and the frigate would remain in the memory of the many hundreds of Glenelg residents, and other Adelaide residents, who turned out to see her.
One of these people was a 21-year-old local racing stable employee named James Batholemew Cummings, one of the local Glenelg thoroughbred trainer Jim Cummings's boys. Working then in his dad's stables as a strapper, the dark-haired young man would come down the beach doing slow work every day on a magnificent-looking animal that caught the eye of many sailors as he worked each day around bows of the Navy ship stranded on the low tide sandbanks close to the shore.
More than 60 years later, the rider would remember those days and write something about them.
But this was happening in the April of 1948. The rider on the horse was young Bart Cummings. And the name of the horse was Comic Court.

Week 28/52
That's me. I'm terrified. I am terrified to step out of the box and think.
This post is late because of a number of reasons, mainly because I have been putting my life first rather than anything else. This whole weekend from Friday to Sunday night, at 11:55 pm, I have been with friends. It's amazing to be driving down the main street in your town when there is practically no one outside and you and your best friend are listening to this song that has no meaning but soon will. And then you start sharing worries and tears, and you keep your eyes straight upon the road and you watch the snow falling down and you think life will never be perfect again. Those are the moments I will remember.
So. I now have about a week off until school starts up. This means that I can actually work on my week. The thing is I'm busy all day Tuesday, I'm working tomorrow, busy Wednesday and then I have Thursday and Friday which will be good. I plan to make next week's photo better. They have been nothing but lame close-ups in the bit of light I can get.
Also, partially because of the lame lighting and partially because of life, photography has taken a backseat. My friends and I are dealing with something. Also, my family and I are dealing with something else as well. I just want life to get better.
After working in collaboration with Solemen Indonesia, I witnessed one of their interesting and shocking cases regarding an extreme human rights violation.
Middle aged Made has a long history of mental health problems for which he received no treatment. His threatening behaviour was a symptom of his illness but his neighbours and family were terrified of him.
The last two years of his life had been spent naked in an empty cage attached to his house. The cage lacked even running water and a non functioning toilet. He also had untreated physical health issues.
Now after the commencement of treatment he spends time outside the cage and the film shows his first walk down the gang since his incarceration. His physical health issues have also been successfully treated.

We thought someone threw a rock when we heard a piercing scream. We craned our necks upwards and saw a body falling off the summit.
Then the parachute opened. Phew.

first time he was on a swing without being terrified. i guess it takes the special touch of his favorite aunt. :)
Terrifying. I didn't think that a mere block of ice could make Migs less attractive, but that was before THIS happened.

This was Rocco (then still called Joey), just after I picked him up at the shelter. He was terrified - picked up by a man.
He almost didn't move, as if that was his way to prevent me from getting mad at him, and beat him up afterwards.
Why a favorite? Because I know what became of him.
This feller had the unenviable job of being PaRappa the Rapper - the costume was stellar, but it actually frightened my girlfriend.
I don't blame her.
This image was taken for my photography documentary project on animal cruelty. It was taken at my local pound. Sadly in reality many of the animals in the pounds across the world are destroyed because of no fault of their own. Just that people don't want them. But still continue to breed unhealthy animals, without a thought of what they are contributing to the already over population of animals, desperately needing homes.
So please go to your local rescue centre and save a life!!!!

Well after making a trek through the northern USA my slergZ (tm) has arrived from my good friend here on flickr frogmuseum2 to it's new home here in Canada.
Although the slergZ (tm) was a little bit nervous about coming out of the box and seeing his new home for the first time but, with Libby acting as bodyguard, my slergZ (tm) felt that with an attack cat in the forefront that the opportunity to scope out the new digs was possible.
Thanks ever so much Michael for the toy for my granddaughter as well, you are too kind. I love the card, the slergZ (tm), the beans and the pink penquin!
I saw them on his photo stream and being an avid stuffed toy collector I immediately wanted one. He makes these all by hand and it was so worth the wait.. If you get a chance go and see his wonderful photos with his great sense of humour and his toys! Tell him Gangie sent you :-)
