For more than a century, beginning in 1855, the North Point Lighthouse stood tall, overlooking the water and beaming out its light to protect and guide ships and watercraft. Keepers and their families lived and worked at the North Point Light Station, ensuring that the bright light was broadcast through fair weather and foul. It symbolizes a time in our history when waterways were the highways between cities. Lighthouses facilitated water travel and commerce on Lake Michigan, throughout the Great Lakes and beyond.
It has recently been restored to its early 20th century charm through the determined efforts of a group of committed volunteers.

Earlier this week, Broadcast turned 8 years old but, as she was very busy in her second grade class learning about adverbs at the time, we had to wait to celebrate her birthday on Caturday.

Auf dem Mauerweg, dem früheren Todesstreifen zwischen Westberlin und der umliegenden DDR kann man heute über hunderte Meter in Kirschblüten schwelgen: Zwischen Lichterfelde-Süd und Teltow stehen in der TV-Asahi-Kirschblütenallee etwa 1100 Bäume.
Die Aktion geht auf den japanischen TV-Sender TV Asahi zurück. Er rief 1990 zu einer großen Spendenaktion in Japan auf, bei der rund 20.000 Japaner umgerechnet rund eine Million Euro spendeten.
Im November 1990 begann man entlang des ehemaligen Mauerstreifens die ersten von rund 10.000 Bäumen zu pflanzen, ab April 1995 dann die TV-Asahi-Kirschblütenallee auf dem Mauerweg. Das seither Ende April gefeierte Hanami (Kirschblütenfest) wurde in diesem Jahr abgesagt.
On the Wall Trail, the former death strip between West Berlin and the surrounding GDR, you can today indulge in cherry blossoms for hundreds of meters: Between Lichterfelde-South and Teltow are around 1100 trees in the TV Asahi Cherry Blossom Avenue.
The action goes back to the Japanese TV broadcaster TV Asahi. In 1990 he called for a large fundraiser in Japan, in which around 20,000 Japanese donated the equivalent of around one million euros.
In November 1990, the first of around 10,000 trees were planted along the former wall strip, and from April 1995 the TV-Asahi cherry blossom avenue on the Wall Path. The Hanami (cherry blossom festival), which has been celebrated since the end of April, was canceled this year.

Broadcast turned 11 today! I don't know if cats understand that it is their birthday even when we talk to them about it but I do think she understands she's receiving a lot of extra special Caturday treats!
Broadcast is named after one of my favorite bands of all time:
**All photos are catrighted**
Giant whispering and coughing from
Vast Sunday-full and organ-frowned-on spaces
Precede a sudden scuttle on the drum,
‘The Queen’, and huge resettling. Then begins
A snivelling of the violins:
I think of your face among all those faces,
Beautiful and devout before
Cascades of monumental slithering,
One of your gloves unnoticed on the floor
Beside those new, slightly-outmoded shoes.
Here it goes quickly dark. I lose
All but the outline of the still and withering
Leaves on half-emptied trees. Behind
The glowing wavebands, rabid storms of chording
By being distant overpower my mind
All the more shamelessly, their cut-off shout
Leaving me desperate to pick out
Your hands, tiny in all that air, applauding.
Philip Larkin - Broadcast (1960)
Broadcast is as naughty as she is beautiful so that's fun. She turned 5 years old today.

The almost 370 meter (1214 feet) high Christmas tree in the Gerbrandy Broadcast Tower is a Christmas tree-shaped set of lights that are attached to the large radio transmission tower in IJsselstein, the Netherlands and is, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the largest Christmas tree in the world.

During high-speed travel, especially near the speed of light, everything in the universe would seem to lie in the same place, unseparated and undifferentiated, directly ahead. This bizarre wrinkle comes from the effect of aberration. When we drive through a snowstorm, the flakes seem to come from in front of us, while the rear window hardly gets hit at all. The same thing happens with light. Our planet’s eighteen-miles-per-second motion around the sun causes stars to shift position by several seconds of arc from their actual locations. As we increase our velocity, this effect grows ever more dramatic until at just below lightspeed, the entire contents of the cosmos appear to hover in a single blindingly bright ball, dead ahead.

As this Bull Elk approached, he began to bugle and broadcast his presence to his rivals. I was fortunate to be there in that time and in that moment.

Happy Caturday from Broadcast. Named after the very special British band whose lead singer, Trish Keenan experienced an untimely death when she was only in her early 40s. Trish wrote to me before she died and told me how much she liked the photos I had taken of her, which really meant a lot to me.

Cisco, Texas is a small town in Northwest Texas about 108 miles west of Fort Worth on the north side of Interstate 20 (I-20). I was on my way to another destination where I was going to camp for the weekend as I drove through Cisco.
For many years I have listened to a very popular local live radio broadcast, Wheels. Ed is a history buff and has a segment dedicated to a "back-in-time history story." This is where I learned that Conrad Hilton of the well-known Hilton Hotels chain opened his first hotel in Cisco, Texas, and about the famous Santa Claus bank robbery. Just reading the story of the famous bank robbery doesn't do it justice. You should hear the story told by Ed as he is a master story teller and sound engineer with special effects like all the gunfire in the streets and music. Unfortunately you can't hear the story, but I have enjoyed hearing it replayed every year at Christmas. Thus, when I arrived in this small town I immediately remembered the stories I had heard from Ed Wallace. Imagine my surprise to see this beautiful mural painted on the side of a building wall in Downtown Cisco.
Each of the letters spelling Cisco has its own artwork depicting an important event. The "C" features the Mobley Hotel which was purchased by Conrad Hilton. The letter "I" references the Santa Claus bank robbery on December 23, 1927. How I wish you could hear the story as told by Ed. You can read the story on Wikipedia, titled Santa Claus Bank Robbery.
This now tiny town of 3,899 in 2010 was once prospering at around 15,000 population was built at the crossroads of two railroads and later prospered due to the oil boom in west Texas. I was delighted to find this beautiful mural.
This view of southern California was taken by the Apollo 7 crew during their 18th revolution of the Earth, on Oct. 12, 1968. Photographed from an altitude of 124 nautical miles, the coast of California can be seen from Point Mugu southward to Oceanside. Santa Catalina can be seen below the off shore clouds. Details of the Los Angeles area are obscured by pollution which extends from Banning westward for 100 miles to beyond Malibu. In the upper portion of the photograph can be seen (left to right) the San Joaquin Valley beyond Bakersfield, the Techachapi Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, Owens Valley, Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.
Apollo 7, which launched on Oct. 11, 1968, and was nicknamed "The Walt, Wally and Donn Show," was the first crewed Apollo mission to launch. The mission demonstrated the capabilities of the Command and Service Module, mission support facilities' performance during a crewed mission and Apollo rendezvous capability, as well as the first live TV broadcasts from space.
