This is Sirumali Mountains, famous for plantains (mountain fruits). This mountain is located near Dindigul.
Shot this (at Chinnalapatti) on the move from Train on my way to Madurai. Time should be around 6:30 am.
My native house is near by. I used to see this mountain every day in my child hood. It even comes in my dreams. Climbed this mountain with my friends around 1990 :-) Many reasons why I am nostalgic around this picture.
Bij het Scheldeplein gaat de caissontunnel over in de boortunnel. Niet te zien is dat het behoorlijk steil afloopt.
I finally managed to get out with the camera today.
Sorry for lack of comments, that thing called full time work taking up my time again, plus house stuff & a minor cold!

Bristol Indiana Parks Kids' Summer Program Begins Monday, June 6, 2016.
Bristol Parks Kids’ Summer Program began on Monday, June 6, 2016 at Hermance Park Pavilion (behind the old River Inn Restaurant. The Summer Park Program is for kids in K-6 grade. Park officials advise it will be an AMAZING SUMMER! The Campers will be taking part in the summer Library program, taking trips to the Splash Pad and having pizza in the park every Friday!!! Their centers will include board games, card games, Legos, play doh, Perler beads, reading fun, and a drawing table. They will have a large supply of outdoor games as well as chances to use the Parks outdoor playground equipment. The Campers attended the Wildlife program on Tuesday, June 7 at the Library. Alli Woods is the Director of the program this year, and Mary Wright is her assistant. If you’d like more information please call the Town Hall @ 848-7007.
July begins with a continuation of the leg show...though here it's more a result of a very tight skirt and very high heels than hem length.
Both the white crochet top and the red/white floral pencil skirt are from JC Penney ~ the top is from the St. John's Bay line, the skirt from Worthington, and they were bought on the same trip in August 2012; the shoes are Bumper white patent sandals, bought at Burlington Coat Factory in July 2008. Other accessories are white hat, gold jewelry, and skinny orange belt. I'm bare legged once again.
Residents begin streaming out of the flood zone, in this photo looking south down Wyoming Ave in Forty-Fort, PA. Thursday September 8, 2011.
Crews begin pouring concrete to replace 34 damaged concrete panels on southbound I-405 in Renton and Tukwila.
...........begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
always there
Have you run your fingers down
the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared
to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's
watching you
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's
someone there
Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's
always there
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone"
The Chao Phraya begins at the confluence of the Ping and Nan rivers at Nakhon Sawan ( also called Pak Nam Pho ) in Nakhon Sawan province. It then flows south for 372 kilometres ( 231 miles ) from the central plains to Bangkok and the Gulf of Thailand. In Chainat, the river splits into the main course and the Tha Chin river, which then flows parallel to the main river and exits in the Gulf of Thailand about 35 kilometres ( 22 miles ) west of Bangkok in Samut Sakhon. In the low alluvial plain which begins below the Chainat Dam, many small canals ( khlong ) split off from the main river. The khlong are used for the irrigation of the region's rice paddies.
The lower Chao Phraya has undergone several modifications through man-made efforts during the Ayutthaya period. Several shortcut canals were constructed to bypass large meanders in the river, shortening the trip from the capital city to the sea. The course of the river has since changed to follow many of these canals.
In 1538, Thailand's first River engineering of 3 km ( 2 miles ) long canal was built by the order of King Chairachathirat, and it was called khlong Lat or today known as Khlong Bangkok Noi. It claims to shortcut the route by 13-14 km, for the merchant ship travels from Gulf of Siam to its capital city - Ayutthaya.
In 1542, two kilometres long canal Khlong Lat Bangkok was completed or today called Khlong Bangkok Yai. It said to have shortened the river merchant route by 14 km ( 9 miles ).
In 1608, seven kilometres long Khlong Bang Phrao canal was completed and have shorten Chao Phraya original route by 18 km ( 11 miles ).
In 1636, Khlong Lat Mueang Nonthaburi was completed.
In 1722, two kilometres long Khlong Lat Kret Noi had shortcut the Chao Phraya by 7 km ( 4 miles ). This route was from the island of Koh Kret. It's also one of the Bangkok Metropolitan attractions.
Cities along the Chao Phraya include Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chainat, Singburi, Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, listed from north to south. These cities are among the most historically significant and densely populated settlements of Thailand because of their access to the waterway, with Bangkok alone having a population of over 12 million.
The major bridges that cross the Chao Phraya are in the province of Bangkok: the Rama VI rail-road bridge; Phra Pin-klao near the Grand Palace; Rama VIII, a single tower asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge; Rama IX, a semi-symmetric cable-stayed bridge; and Mega Bridge, part of the Industrial Ring Road. In Bangkok, the Chao Phraya is a major transportation artery for a vast network of river buses, cross-river ferries and water taxis, also known as long tails. More than 15 boat lines operate on the rivers and canals of the city, including commuter lines.
The principal tributaries of the Chao Phraya River are the Pa Sak River, the Sakae Krang River, the Nan River ( along with its principal confluent the Yom River ), the Ping River with its principal confluent the Wang River), and the Tha Chin River. Each of these tributaries ( and the Chao Phraya itself ) is further tributed by additional minor tributaries often referred to as khwae. All the tributaries, including the lesser khwae, form an extensive tree-like pattern, with branches flowing through nearly every province in central and northern Thailand. None of the tributaries of the Chao Phraya extend beyond the nation's borders. The Nan and the Yom River flow nearly parallel from Phitsanulok to Chumsaeng in the north of Nakhon Sawan province. The Wang River enters the Ping River near Sam Ngao district in Tak province.
The lowland areas of the Chao Phraya watershed in central Thailand have been designated as the Chao Phraya freshwater swamp forests, a tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests eco region, an area about 400 km ( 249 miles ) north to south and 180 km ( 112 miles ) wide. The original swamp forests have almost entirely been removed as the plain has been converted to rice paddies, other agriculture, and urban areas like the massive Bangkok, and much of the wildlife that once inhabited these plains has disappeared including many fish in the river systems, birds such as vultures, the Oriental Darter, White-eyed River Martin ( Pseudochelidon sirintarae ) and the Sarus Crane[ and animals such as tigers, Asian elephants, Javan Rhinoceroses and the much-hunted Schomburgk's Deer. Today we can only estimate a description of the original habitat and wildlife by comparing with that of neighbouring countries and it is believed that it would have consisted of freshwater swamps inland and salty mangroves on the coast and the river estuaries. The swamp would have been covered in Phragmites marsh grasses and today there is a small area of this remaining in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, a relic of the original landscape.
As so much has been cleared or altered the potential for creating large protected areas to preserve original habitat no longer exists. However much wildlife does remain in the rice fields and steps may be taken to preserve these as urban and industrial development on the plains is ongoing and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand has very little control or planning over this. Particular threats come from the conversion of rice paddies to large-scale production of prawns by pumping in seawater, and the use of pesticides to eliminate the introduced snail Pomacea canaliculata, which damages rice plants.
So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside
So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark
Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear
So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now, oh
This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark
Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don't fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us
This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark
It's all gone rather "Pete Tong" in a Large and Dark Styley.
So here we are at the results from the second roll of 120 film from my beloved Yashica and I have to say my "beginner's luck" with the Sunny 16 rule has dropped off signifcantly - as can be seen here I've developed a habit of under-exposure-itis and the bulk of the roll has come out in a similarly gloomy and dark fashion.
Woe is me.
Help from any film fans out there who can recommend a good, but reasonably priced, light meter is most welcome... as are thoughts on how to get a negative out of the plastic wallet and onto the scanner without it attracting every tiny spec of dust in a 100 yard radius. Post scanning I spent a good while with the 'heal' gadget getting rid of all these specs and my scanning is on hold until I find out how to avoid this.
I'm guessing it's to do with a static build up as the negative moves out of the wallet - maybe if I get some gloves or somesuch that would also help with handling in general? All help gratefully received as I'm at a bit of a loss.
Having said that I think the result - and this is a "straight scan" with no lightening or darkening - certainly reflects the location and the current state of the building... for here we have the Moorgate Telephone Exchange, a building which seems to defy the recording of any kind of architectural history whatsoever as there is simply nothing about it anywhere (At current stage of my search anyway).
Maybe it was one of those Cold War "secret buildings" that didn't appear on maps and never existed? You didn't see me as they used to say on The Fast Show.
The building is much beloved by my fellow Flickrite Beechlights whose photostream I can highly recommend, and not just for his shots of this location. Go on - have a look and Flickr-Surf (but leave a comment first!).
The building is up for development after BT sold it for a large wad a couple of years ago - there are some shots on the architect's website of the proposed new building. Interestingly the mockup still shows Ye Olde Highwalk and defunct booths on the right hand side.
Unsurprisingly the redevelopment is on hold and the building remains empty... although since taking this shot the formerly empty windows of the exchange are now, on the Barbican side, full of posters for Camelot with the tag protection through occupation as described in this article in Property week from 2007.
The Big Idea is that Camelot rent out living space in the building for anything between £20 and £60 a week and, in return, the owner get the protection of having people living there to keep the n'err to wells at bay. As is clear here some work is going to be required to make the adhoc living arrangements for prospective tennants.. which I think this gives some indication of how long it's likely to be before any kind of demolition begins
I've put in an enquiry as to the rent here as I rather like the prospect of living here. While I'm waiting for a reply and bemoaning my gloomy reel of shots I'll leave you to...
.. enjoy
The journey back to Mars begins with liftoff of the Mars Global Surveyor atop a Delta II 7925A expendable launch vehicle from Launch Complex 17A, Cape Canaveral Air Station, at 12:00:49.99 p.m. EST, Nov. 7, 1996. After an approximately 10-month interplanetary odyssey, the spacecraft will arrive at the Red Planet and begin a four- month aerobraking phase -- an innovative technique first demonstrated during the Magellan mission to Venus -- to achieve a mapping orbit. For a period of one Martian year or about two Earth years, the compact, 2,337-pound (1,060- kilogram) spacecraft will circle above most of the planet, its suite of sophisticated remote-sensing instruments building a comprehensive global portrait of Mars by mapping its topography, magnetism, mineral composition and atmosphere. Among the locations the Surveyor will pass over are the landing sites where the two U.S. Viking landers have stood since 1975 as silent monuments of the most recent successful U.S. mission to Mars. The Global Surveyor is the first of a trio of spacecraft being launched to the Red Planet this fall; up next is Russia's Mars '96 spacecraft followed by the United States' Mars Pathfinder. The Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Pathfinder missions are managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA; McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Corp. provides the Delta II launch vehicle.
