It’s truly amazing that Wolf has turned out to be such a great dog after what he has endured. His owner ran over his front (left) leg, breaking all bones in his foot and lower leg, and never took him to a veterinarian; instead, he was allowed to suffer in what must have been horrific pain for several weeks. The bones had fused in the wrong positions and he had to drag his useless foot/leg when he walked, resulting in calluses and open wounds. Finally, when the owner realized Wolf’s condition was not going to improve, he was dumped at a kill shelter.
Wolf’s sweet nature impressed the shelter staff and volunteers and they reached out to try to get him saved. SSRR took Wolf into rescue and immediately sought vet care; unfortunately his leg was too damaged to be saved and had to be amputated.
Wolf has made a great recovery. He lives in a foster home with four other Rottweilers and LOVES to run and play. He is always happy and everyone who meets him falls in love with him. It is our hope that Wolf will be adopted by someone who could have him trained to become an animal assisted therapy dog…. going to nursing homes and hospitals (especially hospitals for children as well as veterans); and/or, serving as a companion for a veteran. Wolf would definitely brighten anyone’s day!
Wolf is missing a leg, but he does not consider himself handicapped and neither should you….If you are looking for a truly special companion, this awesome guy exemplifies the statement “Who Rescued Who?”

H220 the one and only member of its class and known affectionately as Heavy Harry is the prize item in the museum.
Weighing in at 260 tons, H220 is the largest loco ever built in Australia and the largest non-articulated loco to run in Australia.
3 of the h class were planned, They were to haul "The Overland" Service between Melbourne and the border of South Australia where the train continues on to Adelaide.
Due to wartime restrictions the required Bride upgrades to the Western line never took place and the other two H class were never completed and H220 would see out its days on the only line that could take its weight, that being the North East line to Albury on the border with New South Wales.
H220 would haul freight as well as passenger trains and did quite well when filling in for a crack streamlined S class pacific on the Spirit of Progress at times.
Featuring 3 Cylinders H220 was completed in 1+41 and ran in service until 1956 when it was due for an overhaul. The loco was put into storage and never returned having been written off the register in 1958.
In 2008 H220 was added to the Victorian Heritage Register.

Affectionately known as "Lippy" because of the obvious damage to his lip. Maybe caused by fishing hook or fight with another male or eating too many spiny urchins. I'm not sure when the lip damage occurred, but it's a least 11+ years ago when I first saw him in 2011.

St Botolph's - affectionately known as the 'Stump' - is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church.
The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing a Norman church, but Christianity in Boston goes back to the 7th century when an Anglo-Saxon missionary monk named Botulph or Botolph is believed to have preached there, and founded a church.
One possible explanation for the town's name is that the place was called Botolph's Stone, later shortened to Boston. Medieval Latin documents show that Bostonians were known as 'viri Sancti Botolphi', St Botolph's men'.
The church, except the tower, was probably completed by about 1390. Early in the 15th century the eastwardly leaning pillars may have necessitated the reroofing of the church; at the same time the aisles were 'modernised'. The chancel was lengthened and repairs were carried out to the nave. The building of the tower was probably started early in the 15th century and took 70 yrs to complete. No one really knows why it is called the 'Stump', although it does resemble a tree with its boughs lopped ready for felling.

"FOUNDERING OF TYNE STEAMER. -- LOSS OF TWENTY-TWO LIVES. -- FEARFUL SUFFERING OF THE SURVIVORS.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM) -- The schooner Sam Slick, of Plymouth, landed at that port, on the 16th inst., Edward Simmons, of Liverpool, the carpenter, and Thos. Kelly, of Newcastle the only survivors of the crew of the steam' ship Bayard, Captain J. Everet, belonging to Mr Kay of Newcastle, and which was launched only June last, at Stockton-on-Tees.
The Bayard, which was of 963 tons register, left "New Orleans, on December 3rd, with cargo of wheat for Rouen. Her crew consisted of Captain Everett, Mr. Welsh, chief officer, a second officer, boatswain, carpenter, three engineers, six stokers, eight able-seamen, a cook, and steward, marking a total of twenty-four hands, natives of Newcastle, Sunderland, and London.
All went well with the Bayard until Sunday, Dec, 8, when a gale sprung up, and continued to increase until Tuesday. The seas then swept the deck, and at length the cargo shifted. Waves now broke over her continuously, and about 1 o clock in the afternoon a tremendous sea stove in the engine-room skylight, and filled the engine-room, putting out the fires. The crew were then on the bridge, the heavy seas washing through the forecastle rendering it impossible for them obtain shelter therein.
Two of the four boats on board had been stove in, and as the vessel began to settle down, the crew lowered the others (the lifeboat and quarterboat), in which they had placed provisions. The Bayard sank rapidly. As the crew got into the two boats, the captain took charge of the lifeboat, in which there were the, second officer, carpenter, and the greater part of' the crew, the chief officer taking charge of the quarter boat.
No sooner had the vessel disappeared than a heavy sea struck both the boats and capsized them, throwing the whole of the occupants into the water. The lifeboat rose again, and its occupants managed to right her and get into her, but the quarter boat had sank, and all her crew perished except two, who swam to and succeeded in getting into the lifeboat.
In capsizing, all the provisions were lost, and consequently the survivors found themselves without either food or drink. About three-quarters of an hour after a heavy sea struck and capsized the lifeboat a second time, but she was again righted, and all who had been on board once more got into her.
The weather was bitterly cold, and the two immersions which the men had undergone made them exceedingly uncomfortable. The night that succeeded was a terrible one. The hapless men had to cling to the boat to prevent themselves from being washed out; but cold and exposure told on them, till one by one they relaxed their hold and were swept away and drowned, or were devoured by the sharks that swarmed around the boats.
Thus perished fourteen of the sixteen on board, including Captain Everett and all the officers, only Simmons and Kelly remained.
The day that followed and those that succeeded were days of frightful suffering. There was nothing to satisfy their hunger; and in the hope of allaying their thirst they kept their clothes soaked with salt water, and at night lay on their backs with open mouths, that the falling dew might moisten their parched tongues and lips.
Thus day after day passed, and for the greater part of the time an enormous shark kept in close company to the drifting boat.
About mid-day on the 17th (a week after the foundering the Bayard), they were picked up by the Spanish brigantine Carnation, which was bound with cargo of pitch pine from Santo Maria to Ferrol, in Spain.
They were then in a very week condition, and it was doubtful whether they could have survived another twenty-four hours, but Simmons believed that he could have lived another three or four days.
They were treated with great kindness on board the Carnation, and on being landed at Ferrol the English Consul placed them board the Sam Slick, which conveyed them to Plymouth. They were sent to their respective homes on the 15th instant."

This is a photograph from the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 17th May 2016 at 20:00. The race is now firmly established on the Leinster road racing calendar with athletes travelling from all over the region to take part. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. It is one of the rare occasions around road racing circles these days where a very small club can organise a very successful large participation race. Today's race had another very large attendance with over 480 participants finishing the race following on from over 400 finishers last year. .
This race commemorates the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC. Na Fianna AC are typical of many rural sporting clubs who have a large catchment area which combines rural North Kildare and South Meath. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport.
The very changeable weather from the entire day made for an unpredictable night weather wise. There were several very heavy torrential showers of rain before the race. The race itself was ran in dry overcast conditions.
This race is part of the annual Meath AAI Road Race League despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Endenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants. The course is very fast and flat - it is a one loop course which is left-handed in terms of turns.
We have a large set of photographs from the finish of the race and they are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157667797591270

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Zoo Berlin, GER -
Affectionately known as the Zoo on the south-west corner of the Tiergarten, this is Berlin’s favourite family spot - a wonderfully kept urban Zoo with a huge playground, restaurants, and coffee shops, providing a whole day’s worth of family entertainment. A site Berliners are justly proud of, this large and very well-kept Zoo is home to 13,700 animals and 1,400 species. The Berlin Zoo and its animals are part of local life and most Berliners will be aware of the news of a new arrival.
Rare among city zoos, the Zoologischer Garten was founded in 1844 on the initiative of zoologists Alexander von Humboldt and Martin Lichtenstein and was the first Zoo to be built in Germany. Under Friedrich Wilhelm IV it became a joint project by Martin Lichtenstein and Peter Joseph Lennè who had redesigned the Tiergarten and allocated the southwestern tip of the Tiergarten as a zoological garden. Prior to this a Pheasantry had served the royal kitchen from 1742. The royal family’s private zoo had been on the Pfaueninsel (Pheasant Island) where pheasants can still be seen strutting around.
Numerous architects worked on the design of the urban habitats for the specific animal. The Antelope House dates back to 1872 and the Elephant House to 1873. The Hippopotamus House (1997) is an example of more modern concepts applied for the well-being of the animals. Under a 13,000 square feet glass solar panel roof the hippopotamuses can be viewed beneath the water and the animals are no longer simply on display.

German Junkers Ju 52/3m
Affectionately known in Germany as Tante Ju, or “Auntie Ju,” the Junkers Ju 52/3m was one of the most successful European airlines ever made. Designed for Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1932, the Ju 52/3m was a tri-motor version of the single-engine Ju-52. It could carry 17 passengers or 3 tons of freight and had excellent short-field performance. By the mid-1930s, airlines throughout Europe and Latin America were flying them, by World war II, they were the Luftwaffe’s primary transports, and some served as bombers.
A total of 4,835 Ju 52/4ms were built including 170 under license by Construccinoes Aeronauticas (CASA) in Spain and more than 400 by Ateliers Aeronautiques de Colombes in France. This airplane is a Spanish-built CASA 352-L. Lufthansa German Airlines acquired it for promotional flights, then donated it to the Smithsonian in 1987.
