Sometimes an armature nature photographer gets lucky and is able to witness and photograph a predator/ prey conflict. This series shows a Coopers hawk trying to catch a Ringed-neck Duck for dinner. but the duck got tangled in the Lilly pads and the Hawk unable to take flight, so it just held it underwater for maybe 5 to 8 min. long enough that the Hawk almost drowned itself, eventually it let the Duck go and with a great deal of energy was able to fly away; the duck popped up, righted itself, shook it off, then swam away apparently quite all right. I think the pictures tells a compelling story of how raw nature can be!

I haven't been able to get out much lately, so out of boredom, I tried some macro shots of a few of my guitars with the Leica Q2. These shots are all SOOC jpegs with no processing, other than a little cropping in a couple of images.
I yearn to be able to string together the most effective words possible to describe the unbelievable specialness of this gift I received from my friend Mel. I'm posting this 3 months later than I would have liked to, but in the months since receiving it, treating myself to a listen of this crazy sweet compilation of tunes has become an almost daily ritual for me! As the likes of the riveting Neko Case, Tori Amos and Imelda May float over my eardrums - it's like the miles between Mel & me disappear! She suddenly seems like she is right there in my living room or in the passenger seat of my car and nothing can dampen my mood or keep my from happily tapping my toes! I just have to get my act together & finish up the mix CD I plan to reciprocate with! ;) Oh Melly my Melly, the things you do to my poor heart and belly! Thank you endlessly for loving me so much, even with all my many faults! You make my life so very good! <3

We were able to have the 22" chrome KMC 651s custom drilled for Dixit's 2007 Escalade ESV. He shipped us his TPMS sensors and we installed them for free while mounting and balancing the wheels to a nice set of Nexen Roadian HP (305/45/22) tires.
Fast forward to the the end product...and it looks awesome!

Steve,
I know I said I would send you pics of the wheels on the Escalade but completely forgot and just remembered. This was the day I got the wheels and got the lugs from the local shop here and threw the wheels on and was loving the slightly more aggressive look of it compared to the factory 22s. I have to lower it as well now, but also have some trimming to do on the wheel well lining on the rear cause it slightly rubs on the inside, nothing that a little snipping or dremel of the plastic lining wont take car of.

Today I was able to get out further than I did yesterday. The devastation is very obvious, living on the Southern end of Fort Bend County I was able to to see results of what it left behind. Luckily I could only see property damage and the results of foolish decisions to try and drive in high water, (don't do it). I'll post more tomorrow.
I am not able to remember the name of this over the water hotel near Bocas Del Toro, Panama. We didn't stay there.
On our usual late winter/spring walking and sunseeking trip to Tenerife in April, on our alternate day walk up to Los Olivos and Adeje, at the foot of the mountains and the entrance to the Barranco del Infierno, I spotted a big muckshift taking place They looked to be in the middle of moving many thousands of tonnes of volcanic rock. There was a fleet of Cat and Volvo 360’s parked up along with a few Case wheeled loaders and various other bits and pieces. On the Sunday that I first saw them parked up, I saw an old Cat crawler, from a distance it was either a 955 or 977. With security around, although the site was fairly open, I didn’t go for a nosy. Later, when the machines were working, they were a long way from public access. If I had been on my own I would have risked getting closer but I thought I had better behave myself.
On our last full day, I couldn’t believe my luck, the Cat shovel, A 977L, was working near to our usual route so I was able to spend a while watching it work. Although I was only wearing running shorts it was actually drizzling very slightly out of the very low cloud hanging on the mountains and it made a good backdrop to my photos.
The Cat 977 was my dream machine when I was driving our Case 1150’s in the late 70’s and early 80’s. The truth is it was too big for our needs and nowhere near as versatile in the handling and steering department as the 1150. This was a nicely renovated machine, they still seem to like crawler loaders over in Tenerife. The ground that this was working on, was the worst sort, in my opinion, to work with a crawler. Boulders of an unknown size in a dry and abrasive softer material. Very uncomfortable on a solid seat in a tracked machine. I assume the driver was on an hourly hire rate as he was tiptoeing around very steadily. I was itching to give it full throttle and push hard. The driver was certainly treating his machine with respect though, which was good to see. I’ve made three videos and have a lot of photos to upload at some point in the near future.
We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.
With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.
We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.
We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.
We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.
Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw.
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

scanning a drawing from my sketchbook, I place my sketch upon the vast space of white that is the illustrator pasteboard. I trace the drawing, perfecting the curves, straightening, reducing, minimalising, precise-ing--all lines, eliminating any shade--to a 0.5pt stroke.
Focusing on a particularly enjoyable piece of the illustration, a flourish cap-thing, I began a tangent into a thought process that evolved to the right, then down.

This was Cape Town Municipality's first power station. It was able to run on steam (the chimney stack has since been removed) as well as water. It was also the first hydro electric station in South Africa.
*****************************************
City Space: Molteno Reservoir – What could it become?
Posted by Robert Bowen on October 30, 2012 in All, Architecture, Image Gallery, Public Space ·
Those of you who have been painstakingly searching for a venue to host your three-legged biathlon, take a deep sigh of relief. I have found a location that not only covers the stipulated 800m distance but also provides aquatic facilities.
Molteno reservoir, positioned just above the ridiculously dog friendly De Waal Park, is an unusual place. It is fortunately accessible to the public, despite being property of the waterworks. Its 800m circumference makes it a popular destination for upper middle-aged women looking to chat with their friends and other runners too.
The History
Built from 1877 – 1881, the 200 000 kilolitre water storage facility was commissioned by Premier John Molteno. The shell of a power plant and now missing its smoke stack is the Graaf Electric Lighting Works, the first hydro-electric plant in South Africa and also the first power plant in Cape Town. However, if we’re talking architecture and power, the new timber guardhouse beside it surely trumps out. The little man inside it came to me and deleted a large portion of my images seemingly at random.
Industrial by nature, the site is not an obvious space of recreation. Save for the solitary precast Greco bench, the site does nothing to welcome visitors. The ground is pot-holed asphalt, the grass, trees and bushes are unkempt. An ancient rotten skeleton of a bench sits beside a ramshackle guardhouse. Yes, to say the visitor is considered is to tell an easily read lie.
It is a pleasant walk (or run) though; it must be something about the changing aspect of the surrounding scenery which is enchanting. The mountain looms like a lush mossy garden wall at your back whilst the city paves a floor below you off towards the ocean and endless horizon. Beside you is the still mountain water resting in this rather antiquated reservoir. The solid stone walls are dotted with rusting hooks, some of which suspend a green across the berth. Its purpose unknown, it remains a curiosity of the meander.
Not unlike the folly we find positioned off-centre of the reservoir. It surely serves/served a purpose at some point. Accessed by a yellow and black girder bridge, the rounded hut is a bit like the architectural prop to a Rapunzel meets Atlantis fairy tale.
Whatever its purpose may have been, it is likely it has now been replaced by this contraption: a vital well- ruler-wine bottle contraption with access restricted by a forceful barrier.
The Future Space
While the reservoir is a fantastic space and usable by the public it hardly is encouraged by the management who have instructed security to fiercely enforce the draconian rules prohibiting everything save running or walking(these images are illegal).
This space could be so much more; convert the shell of a power plant into a restaurant or function venue, build a pontoon and allow people to swim. In no time you’ll have a popular and profoundly unique Cape Town space that is also a tourist attraction and the best part is everything is already there!

Tactical shooting requires agile and adaptive thinkers able to handle the challenges of full spectrum operations in an era of persistent conflict. To meet this requirement, TAPS delivers a comprehensive, systematic, progressive Train-the-Trainer shooting program focused on fundamental mastery and built for Law Enforcement officers, military personal, and qualified civilians. Designed for leaders and trainers, the TAPS course also applies to the patrol-level officer, basic level Soldiers, and civilian self & home defense minded shooters. The approach to instruction is through coaching and mentorship and both demonstrates and transfers a training method that is safe, effective, combat relevant, and encourages a continuous thought process that demands accountability. Training is conducted on the range and focuses on advanced refinement of the basic fundamentals of marksmanship as applied to the primary and secondary weapons systems. Utilizing a building block learning model, TAPS combines the pressures and dynamics of competitive shooting and tactical application. While course of instruction is on the firing range, the TAPS training approach also translates into training venues outside the range.
Course Outline:
The 2-day course offering provides the following training and instruction:
- Lecture on proper weapons handling and safety
- Refresh the fundamentals and grouping exercises
- Conduct a diagnostic course of fire
- Conduct a discussion on the importance of performing a focal shift during training and avoiding mundane drills that do not encourage a thought process
- Other topics covered and practiced are; grouping exercises with both primary and secondary weapon systems, target discrimination, use of barricades, movement, close quarter battle techniques, immediate action drills, ballistics 101, transitions, magazine changes
- Escalation of training and intensity will vary depending on number of students and their skill level though the core of the course will always remain the same
- This course is marksmanship intensive.

I was able to make it to my usual spot a little after the 24 mile mark on the east side within Central Park. I understand the need for some added security because of the Boston attack but in my opinion the tens of blocks of barricades and numerous garbage trucks used to block streets could have caused serious problems if god forbid something happened and thousands of people started to run in all directions.
With that said it's always a great experience to see people from all over the world, of all ages and abilities come to take part in this storied race. Boston was very well represented! I've noticed over the three or so I've attended that the French contingent is huge. I like this spot because you get a great range of exhaustion, pain, elation, joy, sweat and tears. Congratulations to all those who participated no matter what your time, or mode of taking part!

Rotary Club of Nagpur conducted 'Udaan', a sports festival for specially abled children on Wednesday. On this occasion, around 650 physically challenged children from 45 special schools of blind, deaf and mute, mentally challenged and physically disabled category competed in events like - relay, fancy race, shotput, sack race, pick and run races all through the day. A showcase volley ball match between deaf and mute and students of regular school was also held.
This is "second" time i have been able to capture a large bee in flight... and the trick is ... manual focus at 300mm... that's not as easy as it sounds :).. i am happy i made it... first time it was in US but the bee was small and the main subject was a flower :)
On this one... I wish i could capture some part of the eye, but on the other hand i love the legs formation and clarity.. need to give something to get something.. see couple of out-takes below..

Noel Fleming history of Sarsfield House Ken Larkin thank you Ken for reposting the article I was able to see it .
The Sons of Divine Providence were founded by St Luigi Orioni
After WW2 .
Thousands of children were orphaned in Italy and he saw the need to care for them so he opened up homes to care for them .
The order grew and spread and eventually they decided to set up a home in Ireland and were given land beside the Ranch where the built a church and a Home for Wayward Boys . There were live in house parents to look after the boys who were for the most part teenagers…
The first priest from the order to live there was Fr Victor who made a great impression on the local people.
They took him under their wing and helped in any way they could . The order worked with the probation services to help keep some of the young men from going down the wrong road … Joe Duffy was a house parent there before joining RTE .
Fr Victor became great friends with our aunt Lucy who ran the little shop on First Avenue and then our Aunt Enda retired from working in the Shelbourne Hotel together with some more local women formed a little committee to make curtains , soft furnishings or whatever was needed for the house or church .
It became a focal point for the community and many local people became traders or Eucharist Ministers in the church.
Fr Victor oversaw the building of the flats on the back field of the Ranch calling them Fr Bidoni Court
And in the complex was a common room for people to meet and this became the place where all the sewing and knitting took place .
My brother SEAMUS worked in a sports wholesalers and often came across material or wool that would be getting dumped and he would bring it home and the ladies in the common room would use their skills to make stuff for Fr Victor to use ….other priests also lived there I can’t remember their names and eventually Fr Victor retired and returned to Italy and the new priest Fr Michael came … in the meantime the need for working with young wayward boys ceased and the original home was converted into flats , so the head priest became an administrator for the complex .
Our great grandparents on both sides came to live in the Ranch when it was built , our grandfather and grandmother were born in the Ranch and to make a point before the boys home was built the land was used as allotments and football was played on the land beside the allotment’s , this area was called the Liffey Hill , generations of children played here , they also played games and football on First Avenue since it was built .
Our family have lived on First Avenue since it was built and we as children played there.
Anyway along comes Fr Michael to take over and a couple of weeks in he was driving out of the gate from the home and some children including my youngest brother Billy’s two sons were playing football there .
He got out of his car and gave out to the children and told them they were not allowed to play there anymore…
When my nephew’s told their dad that evening about the incident, Billy was mad and anyone who knew Billy knew that he wouldn’t let this go so he went over to the home to see Fr Michael who threatened to get the police for him. Needless to say the children continued to play on the avenue.
They eventually found out that Michael had been a policeman in England before becoming a priest , he had a very dictatorial attitude and was never as popular as Fr Victor.
Billy became ill and was in hospital for fifteen months before he passed away and on several occasions Fr Michael came into see him but Billy would never let him anywhere near him .
A lot of local men and women ended up living in Fr Bidoni Court which was great for them in their old age ….
Thanks Ken for sharing that and I hope you don’t find this too long winded …
Kind regards NOEL FLEMING

Thank you Noel for that great history and I will add it to the site and send you the link. My own Mother use to cook for the Boys in the late 70s / 80 and worked long side her great friend Joan Tyrrell from Ballyfermot Crescent. Fr Victor along with the other Priests and Brothers were regular callers for Tea to the house. One funny story one of the priests were in our house for their tea and after they left. I was sitting on the couch when I sat on something hard when I looked down one of the older priests had left his false teeth on the couch. When I dropped them down to him the following day he had forgot where he left them. My mother had lovely memories working there. Thanks again Noel

This current incarnation is one of the Police Interceptors. It features an enlarged burst fire thruster, two "Bumblebee" drones and two variable munitions projectile cannons.
It is nested on it's landing pedestal.
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see.

I was able to spend two awesome days completely alone in Waikiki which was so relaxing and filled with so much fun and exploring. There was even a night of some pretty hot sex, which made things super special.
I wish I could have spent one more day in Waikiki, just not at that dive of a hotel I was located.
Wasn't able to use my own camera for these shots, used my friends Alexander. I still like the outcome of them though.

I've never been able to capture a plane with such clarity before. This is my favorite picture my camera has ever captured. It's more than a picture, for me, it's an illustration. The colors, and hues, paint my day and bring me back to this exact moment.

Since I have been leaving school early, I've been able to get out of the house and take pictures. Unfortunately, I am EXTREMELY clumsy. I was going to take picture down by my creek, but, on the way there I slipped and fell all the way down the damned hill. So, then I was climbing back up so I could wipe myself off and as soon as I was about to get out, I tripped AGAIN. It was just bad. My knees were so dirty. Anyways, this old barn is close by my house and I've been DYING to get picture by it, so I took a chance of getting yelled at and took pictures there. Hope no one minds. :)

Plumbing Hints You Need To Hear Today
When you employ a plumber, it can cost a lot of cash for even a very easy repair that you might have done yourself. Read on for a few tips on solving your own personal plumbing problems with tools you have at home.
There is never an unsolvable problem when it comes to plumbing. You must try to take a break from that which you are working on, if you believe yourself becoming frustrated with all the job. The greatest errors start to occur when you walk outside , so take a rest and then become inpatient and angry.
Professionals should only do plumbing in the event that you do not comprehend plumbing or if you have a major difficulty. A lot of the huge problems that plumbers deal with, really have solutions that are simple. The plumber should be called in the end, anyhow.
There are simple methods to test your toilet for leaks that could finally result in great cost savings in the future. The most easy way to do that is always to pour a small amount of food dye into the holding tank of your toilet. In the early hours, if you have any color in the basin then you realize you’ve got a leak that needs some focus.
A proven way to avoid pipes from freezing during the winter will be to keep cupboard doors in your house which contain the conduits open. This can ensure that they get sufficient heat to maintain warm. Be sure additionally, to unhook and kind of hose outside and run a little water to clear any remaining water going outside’s conduits.
When it comes to plumbing an ounce of prevention is the best thing to stop things from going haywire. To be able to prevent clogging avoid doing things that might clog drains. Do not pour oil down the kitchen sink, and install hair catching filters in all your tubs. This can prevent lots of unneeded clogs.
Make sure you let a slow drip within the night time when you experience the chilliest of winter weather. A general rule is, when there is snow on the ground, make the water dripping. This reduces your own risk of waking up to frozen pipes that may cause an excellent deal and keeps a steady flow.
Hope isn’t lost in the event you drop a little thing or earring right into a sink drain. You can probably retrieve the thing, by carefully removing the U shaped trap underneath the sink. Bear in mind that the trap will soon be full of water, however, so have something to catch the spills.
As you read in the beginning of the particular article. Professional-plumbing services are expensive, and many plumbing problems can be solved by anyone who knows what must be achieved. Ideally , this short article has provided you the knowledge to prevent an expensive call to a professional plumbing service later on.

We were able to work with a local hotel and make minor adjustments as far as removing the beds and adding some extra tables for more counter space. We created a place for the advocates and clients to speak when in the office while using the partitions. We currently have six rooms at the hotel, not including the office. All rooms are full. The hotel has also been very helpful in allowing us to use small conference rooms for special projects such as when Santa came by to drop off presents!
