Brooklyn Neighborhood, Portland, Oregon, June 2016.

If you are visiting Bury St Edmunds then the Cornhill is the central hub for shopping particularly on Market Days on both Wednesdays and Saturday when up to a 100 stalls can be browsed .
Perhaps the star attraction on the Cornhill is Moyse's Hall a 12th century building. It has served as the town's bridewell , workhouse , gaol, police station and now as a museum.
On the Cornhill is a Boer War memorial of a soldier of the Suffolk Regiment with rifle leaning on a rock The memorial lists the names of 193, inc 8 officers and 147 N.C.O.'s . The memorial was unveiled on 11th November 1904.
One of the finest buildings on the Cornhill is the Market Cross built in the 18th century to a Robert Adam design. Once a Corn Exchange with a theatre upstairs. You may spot the panels with masks and musical instruments. The theatre closed in 1819 . In a short life as a music venue Liszt performed here 1842.
If you look above the mock Tudor frontage of Boots Chemists you will see statues with a Suffolk connection Agricola, St Edmund , Edward 1st and Edward 6th.
Unfortunately Everard's Hotel where we had our wedding reception closed in 1987 and is now Pizza Hut. Other pubs I used to visit in the Cornhill included the Griffin (now Edmundo) , the Castle (now Superdrug) .

Well I think it was a Trailblazer, but to be honest it's hard to tell. (In fact it's a Grand Cherokee, see comment from Mazda6 below)
It was really foggy this morning, so some kind of roadside chaos was to be expected, but this one is pretty fearsome. Bad, bad Milt drove past taking photos, which is a big no-no, not to mention ghoulish. Still, at least I didn't stop in the middle of the road and have to be chased off by the cops, like some of the other clowns.
I assure you, Requium is spelt like that on purpose. (Inside thing).

The future of browsing type?
These are pages from the Berthold Headlines E3 catalogue from 1982. The fine grade typeface classification results in groupings that enable designers to easily compare typefaces with similar characteristics. Designers often have a feeling of about which characteristics a certain typographic element in their design should have. Italic, light, bold, narrow, wide … but that is just the start. What can a type browser do for a designer who is looking for an elegant italic with thin hairlines for a fashion magazine? a sturdy roman for an e-Book? a condensed sans for the ingredients section on a packaging design? a typeface that might fit the historical or artistic context of the subject? a fresh sans serif with large apertures for a signage project? a typeface with an x-height that is big enough to be read by people with low vision? a trendy humanist slab serif for the headings of a brochure? an italic for a series of medium level food products which cannot be ‘served’ with a fancy script? a typeface with angular serifs that fits the low-polygon craze?
Most type browsers do not enable designers to compare typefaces this way though. When comparing romans, italics and other family members usually are ‘in the way’. In many browsers it is impossible to directly compare condensed or italic styles, let alone a more precisely defined style. The typeface styles that might fulfill the criteria designers and their customers are looking for are usually hidden in alphabetical lists, family groupings and ‘special interest’ lists made up by users or meticulously edited staff-picks. Or even worse: classification names of which most designers forgot what they actually mean (let alone what they might be good for) after they left the art academy. Or from which they never heard when they were trained as an online-designer. Shure, these are all wonderful things that help designers to find what they need, but they are time-consuming and when it comes to the typical day-to-day designer jobs as sketched out above, one has to ‘know’ where the styles one is looking for might be hiding. I think that most designers do not prefer to think in names and the systems behind typeface classification, they are visual people who like to think that they take their decisions by intuition. As a result, designers either stay with families they know, or pick something that currently is ‘in the picture’. Thousands of excellent but lesser known typefaces are not being used, because designers are not aware of them or simply overlook them. The big question of type browsing today is how to help designers in picking the best in a way that suits their thinking.
Today, type browsing could (easily) be made much more advanced than the analogue Berthold catalogue from 1982 shown here. The fine grain classification descriptions could be hidden behind sample characters. One would not have to go through the alphabetical index to find out the number of the page on which hard-to-classify-on-the-spot typeface may be shown. It could also be faster and more up to date. It could be combined with text, type size, line length and line feed defined by the user. It could allow the user to change the bandwidth of the grouping. Maybe with sliders or buttons that show sample characters that illustrate what ‘slant’ or ‘old style’ actually may look like etc. We have seen several attempts like the Type Navigator that went in this direction. A similar system has been implemented by Google fonts. And of course the FontBook is a huge step forward. Still, the possibilities of Berthold Headlines E3 has not yet made it into the current state of type browsing.
Who is going to take this challenge today?

A tapir (pronounced “ta-pier”) is a large browsing mammal, roughly pig-like in shape, with a short, prehensile snout. Tapirs inhabit jungle and forest regions of South America, Central America, and Southeast Asia. There are four species of Tapirs: the Brazilian tapir, the Malayan tapir, Baird’s tapir and the Mountain tapir. All four species of tapir are classified as endangered or vulnerable. Their closest relatives are the other odd-toed ungulates, including horses and rhinoceroses. — Tapir, Wikipedia

Rock-It-Man CDs and DVDs, a local business in Flagstaff. I took the photos for a class foto assignment; photograph a corporation and their product. i decided to do a small local record store called Rock-It Man Records, because one day, it sadly may not exist. You know, because of MP3's and that shit. Also, I support local business and not starbucks and converse.

I've been working on creating my own image browser. It's still a work in progress and I have a ways to go.
Features working so far:
* Image upload
* Title, Description and Keyword metadata editing. The updated metadata is also written to the EXIF / IPTC fields.
* View all images on a map, or view an individual image on the map.
* Add an image to the map.
* Album creation, update and deletion.
* Rate an image.
* Apply a color label
* Keyboard navigation and shortcut keys for every interaction.
* Endless scroll (load images on the fly as you scroll down the grid)
* Zoom in feature
* Browse the library by dates.
* Search filters
* Full screen slideshow.
* Change thumbnail sizes.
* Select Mode - select a bunch of images and only show the "selects" - useful for bulk operations.
* Address look up when GPS coordinates are present.
* Displays top 10 most prevalent colors in the image.
* Displays weather data for when the picture was made based off of camera time and GPS location.
* Thumbnails are rendered using the AVIF image format - saves about 50% of storage space when compared to saving JPG files. No quality is lost.
Tech Stack:
* API Application - Node.js
* MongoDB
* Client Application - Node.js, MithrilJS
* Nginx
* Docker
* Kubernates
There's still a lot to do, but I'm making progress.

I have somewhere between 30 and 40 images in my "possibly post to Flickr" folder, and lately I've had some trouble trying to decide which ones to edit and post. I have a difficult time posting certain images that I know might not be 'popular' on Flickr, which is a ridiculous notion - as long as I like the picture I post, why should I care about a lack of comments? But I think that thought enters most of our minds when we browse through Flickr potentials.
And it's not entirely a bad thing... though for some it's a popularity contest, for so many well-meaning others it's a chance to share those images and memories that stirred our emotions and quickened our hearts. It's a chance to bring a little extra beauty into the world, or, rather, to bring to light the beauty that already exists, so long as we choose to notice and acknowledge it.
So that's what I try to do here - share the kind of photos that make the rest of the world smile, or wonder, or simply... pause, react, acknowledge, connect.
Anyway. This image was taken near the boating ramp at Crescent Lake on the Olympic Peninsula, with my digital Nikon.
Satellite: Sentinel-2. Sensor: MSI (MultiSpectral Instrument).
Visualization RGB: bands 8 (NIR), 4 (red), 3 (green). False color.
La imagen tiene 30 km de ancho (aprox.)
En la visualización en falso color la vegetación se ve en color rojo, mientras que las ciudades y el suelo desnudo se ven en tonos de ocre. En color gris claro se destaca n los ssedimentos de la estrecha llanura de inundación del río Irawati.
The source of the Indravati River is located in the south-facing slopes of the Himalayas. Its upper course is characterized by a steep gradient, precipitous slopes, huge boulders and rocks in the river valley, and large rapids. It flows through alpine, sub-alpine and temperate forests. Settlements occur along its lower course. The Indravati's catchment area includes the eastern slopes of the Kathmandu basin and extends to the Indravati – Sun Koshi water divide.

Today, type browsing could (easily) be made much more advanced than the analogue Photolettering catalogue from 1971 shown here. The fine grain classification descriptions could be hidden behind sample characters. One would not have to go through the alphabetical index to find out the number of the page on which hard-to-classify-on-the-spot typeface may be shown. It could also be faster and more up to date. It could be combined with text, type size, line length and line feed defined by the user. It could allow the user to change the bandwidth of the grouping. Maybe with sliders or buttons that show sample characters that illustrate what ‘slant’ or ‘old style’ actually may look like etc. We have seen several attempts like the Type Navigator that went in this direction. A similar system has been implemented by Google fonts. And of course the FontBook is a huge step forward. Still, the possibilities of this catalogue have not yet made it into the current state of type browsing.

Nintendo released their Opera browser for Wii today. The "Trial Edition" aspect really shows, though. Yes, you can watch YouTube videos, but I've already managed to crash the Wii hard by logging into Gmail, going to another page, then hitting "back". Also, IMing in Gmail doesn't quite work because there's no "send" button, and there's no way to hit enter in the text field. (When you click the text field, you get a separate keyboard screen to type in, similar to what you might get on a cell phone. On this screen, you can type enter, but that just becomes a carriage return in the text.) Oh, and I tried to use Meebo, but the text entry screen kept disappearing immediately after appearing for no reason. So I've yet to manage to send an IM via my Wii. :( I can send emails, though!
P.S.: You can, however, turn the cursor by turning your Wiimote, as you can in the normal Wii menus. Now that's one thing you can't do on your computer! :D
