I was browsing through my "flickr potential" folder tonight and this happened to be the first photo that caught my eye. I have many pictures from vacation and the grand Yosemite Valley/Park that I could post, so you'd think I'd be able to drag myself away from posting yet another picture of the St. John's Bridge.
You'd think.
But this bridge and the sunsets that take place there are just too gorgeous to drag one's self away from, mentally or physically. And thus we have this image, recorded by my Pentax K1000 during one dramatic spring sunset in Portland.
Bummer. I've just learned that they're pulling the plug on the Flock browser, which I've been using for quite a few years now. Flock was promoted as "the social browser" and came with many social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, integrated. Flickr was one of these ...my main reason for choosing Flock when I found that every third mouse-click on Internet Explorer brought some sort of security threat or malware alert. Mrs B also became a Flock user, but support and maintenance ceases on April 26th, so we're having to make other arrangements.
For some time I've had Google Chrome installed as an alternative, but have never particularly cared for it. Mind you, I've never used it much or gone into it very deeply. Yesterday evening I downloaded Mozilla Firefox, but it didn't seem to like me and I uninstalled it earlier today. So it looks as though I'll have to get used to Google Chrome. I've just spent several hours "migrating" my bookmarks which, unfortunately, can't be done automatically (only from IE or Firefox). You Tube favourites were the biggest pain in the neck, but I've now got them out of the way. Pity about Flock. Worked for me.
Browsing through the archives this evening and found some shots of Warehouse Row in downtown Roanoke. The reflections were awesome and the clouds looked like smoke so.... :-D

Well before I begin a much belated New Years letter I want to get you in the mood. And there is no better way to do this than with music. So if you are online and have speakers click here www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4M99WfqsUk and just let it flow. I set this YouTube page to greet me every time I start my browser.
Happy New Year. I had a lot of fun this year partaking in a countdown ceremony at the National Park in Azumino City. Set at the foot of the Japan Alps, they had 2.000.000 illuminations, hot air balloon, free food, light displays, the George Michael Christmas song, and thousands of visitors throughout the season. And for the countdown they had me; dressed in a smart suit with bunny ears (it is, after all, the year of the rabbit) dancing to Queen "I was born to love you" Oh Baby Yeah! Just a side note here. I'm not a big fan of lavish wastes of electricity (or petroleum based candle nights for that matter), but I have to hand it to them. All the lights were powered by bio diesel and they kept the whole thing 80% tack free*. Oh and I was metaphorically sh*tti*ng myself, yes. But it was a lot of fun. Thanks for coming.
…And I just got back home and uploaded the best photo of me. I'm still wearing the suit and bunny ears waiting to skype my folks back home. Anyway, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The new year has this effect on me too, I guess. How about you? So, I find myself here, at home, writing this, thinking of you and the year gone by. Sorry its been a while since my last letter - I have a lot of updates.
HILL
Lets start with the Land. My lady and I recently chipped in our small savings and placed a bit on a plot of land somewhere in Yasaka, Omachi City, Nagano, Japan - yes, Japan. Well, the good news is that we won. The bad news is that… well, there are a lot of trees that need chopping down. It breaks my heart but that's what we need to do to create a healthy, natural forest. It's a south east facing plot, about 500m by 100m with a notable incline. It's big and there are a few flat spots, so we are planning what to do.
HUT
To make our time there more comfortable on the hill we are building a little hut. When I say we - I really mean I. Rest assured I have help at hand to somewhat guarantee the thing does not collapse. First, I begged a local carpenter to allow me to become his apprentice and to teach me the basics of Japanese carpentry. Since most of the houses in Japan are made of wood, "carpentry" mainly refers to "house building". Then, I rented two carpark spaces near by to work on the wood once it arrived. Thirdly, I bought all the tools. And because I have no experience in making houses I decided to do it without power tools. This meant that I would be renting the carpark spaces for quite a while. However, I find it really amazing that I can carry a toolbox in one hand and a massive hammer in the other and say - "This is all I need to build you a hut, mate!" and literally I can do it anywhere, without electricity.
HOPE
When you have dreams and they come closer to being fulfilled there is always fear that they might not come true. In the end, the dream is not as important as you think. It's all about the process, it's all about HOW you archive your dream. There is still a lot of work to be done. If you have time and energy to spare, or even the slightest interest in finding out more, you are always welcome to visit, stay, and become part of the process. If you are interested in how to build a hut look out for my next book. I really enjoy working on the hut and I want to share the whole it with even more people. I think it's worth making a well illustrated book about the hut, the hill and the hopes and dream that are attached to it. Living off grid, growing your own food, depending and contributing to the community is the way forward. Some people say it might be a step back from modernity, but I think we have gone far enough. The limits of or planet (or rather our subsistence on it) are being tested. I would like to test our resilience to living in nature, with nature, as nature. How bad can it be?
CREATIVE
Fukuro Chan will be three years old in February !! For those of you who don't know, Fukuro Chan is a plastic bag cartoon character that I draw for a local newspaper. Its time to revamp a few things so we found a local printer that will help us print new books, postcards, etc on FSC** paper. And the price is nice. Wohooo! We are also producing hand made cotton cuddly toys and mobile phone straps. As usual we fund a tree with each item sold. Recently we have bumped up our trees to a total of 1400 trees thanks to a new Afforestation Partnership program. We are now asking local companies to fund trees through us and offer them a green spotlight and some good press. It's all new to me and very exciting. Even more exciting is that our newly produced short animated comic strips are going to be shown in Tokyo and Osaka busy shopping district on massive outdoor screens. Look out for all that on YouTube via the usual address www.ex1st.com This is all happening rather fast thanks to everyone involved. You guys are the best. Thank you.
The plans for 2011 include a new website by mid January, goods by February, a city wide newsletter aimed at schools in April, a Fukuro Chan Festival in May at Katakura mall, participating in the Bon Bon Festival in August, and hopefully another exhibition in October. Our animated content might be televisable, and we would like to get our comic strips in more newspapers/magazines across Japan.
LOOKING BACK
A few too many close friends left town this year. (I wish you) All the best guys. We miss you. And, as life goes on, a few new faces have become familiar. Also great to meet all the extremely interesting people in Yasaka. No exaggeratio - pure hearts, calm minds, wonderful people indeed. Talk about meeting people... thanks to Michael Todd I dived into Facebook and Twitter - very interesting tools indeed. Thanks again to all the people helping make Fukuro Chan big in Japan. I'm honored to know you and I really appreciate your effort. Oh, I almost forgot. I want to thank Richard and John for helping me recapture my underwater swimming record of 50m! That was a highlight for like a whole week! Finally, there are two world-cyclists in Japan, both Spanish. I had the pleasure of meeting one of them online and I look forward to seeing them some time soon here in Nagano. Ride safe.
DREAM ON
I'm still working on convincing my lady to join me on the 5 year world bicycle trip, but it looks like it will have to wait. We are "planning" on giving up all our free time for the next 16 years. Some of you might know what this means. Still, better keep those dreams alive. One day you might finally have the chance to make them come true. Be sure not to miss it. Thats it for now, I might update this letter later. By the way, I did eventually skype my mom. There was a staggering 21,400,000 people using the service, so we did lose the connection a few times. Well worth it all the same. Free to me and you, but let us not forget the hidden cost.
Peace, Love, Nature, Friendship !

You are invited to stay and browse through my stream. Here's a quick index to my little corner of Flickr:
Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "countryside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

The final result of my conversion project - based on illustrations potentially made or at least published by Ikuto Yamashita. I originally found them while I was browsing at miotd.com, together with other dojinshi Evangelion character "versions". I liked this short-haired Asuka version with its pink plugsuit from the start, and it took almost a year to get the project to the hardware stage.
The conversion basis is a recast kit. What I like about this figure is its sitting pose on the barrier, just with one shoe tip on the ground. The kit comes complete with figure and barrier, but I also added a small base to present the figure.
I did not change much of the basic figure kit, but did some customizing work according to the reference illustration. On the legs I tried to incorporate as much from the original details as possible, e .g. filling the room between the black stripes on Asuka's legs and butt with Tamiya 2C putty and elongating this "material cushion" towards the knees. There was also a lot of modifications done in the chest and hip area. There I sculpted details for the way different plugsuit of the dojinshi illustration with 2C putty or small polystyrene plates and pieces. A tough job, but it paid out.
The hair had to be cut down dramatically to match the dojinshi Asuka - and in order to make room for a wire collar that rund around the figure's neck. Additional work also went into the upper arms, where I fixed polystyrene "plates". The headset is part of the original kit, but it is originally supposed to hang aound the figure's head. Since this was not possible with the wire collar, the headset (with an additional spiral cable) went into the left hand, adding to the relaxed pose.
Painting was done with a coat of grey primer and an additional thin coat of white. Basic pink was applied in three tones and with rattle cans, for light shading effects. From there, anything else was applied with a brush and a black fine liner. A black ink wash was also applied to create depth and visually smooth out corners and edges.
Finally, everything was sealed under a matte varnish - all in all the kit took three weeks.

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.

One may wonder, browsing my photostream, at the way I am drawn to the graves of veterans wherever I go. I find so many, silent and still and largely unvisited, unremembered and sadly, untended. I can trace back through my father's lineage, a Hendricks in the service of this country as far as the Revolutionary War. As a descendant of Albertus Hendricks, a Dutch/German settler from 1668 on the banks of the Delaware at Chester PA, a great many of our ancestors have served our country down the centuries. I am in the process of documenting these connections and wish to honor all veterans of the past who have lived, fought and died in order for us to lives the lives we lead today.
Please take a moment to listen to this song. You will not be disappointed:

"A Soldier's Silent Night"
Written By James M. Schmidt,
T'was the night before Christmas
He lived all alone,
in a one bedroom house
made of plaster and stone.
I had come down the chimney
with presents to give
To see just who,
in this dwelling did live.
I looked all around
A strange sight to see
No tinsel, no presents,
Not even a tree.
On the wall hung pictures
of far distant lands.
Metals 'n badges, awards of every kind;
A sobering thought came alive in my mind.
This house was different...
it was dark, it was dreary.
I had found the home of a soldier,
I could see that most clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping,
Silent, Alone;
Curled up on the floor
In this one bedroom home.
His face was so gentle,
The room in such disorder;
Not at all how I pictured
a United States' soldier.
Was this the hero
of whom I'd just read;
Curled up on a poncho,
the floor for a bed?
Then I realized the other families
I saw this night,
Owed their lives to soldiers
Who were willing to fight.
In the morning, round the world,
Children would play;
Grown-ups would celebrate
A bright Christmas Day.
But they all enjoy freedom
Each month of the year,
Because of soldiers
Like the one lying here.
I couldn't help but wonder
How many lay alone,
On a cold Christma Eve
In lands far from home.
The very thought
Brought a tear to my eyes;
I dropped to my knees,
I started to cry.
The soldier awakened
I heard his rough voice,
"Santa don't cry,
This life is MY choice.
I fight for freedom,
I don't ask for more;
My life is my God,
My country, My corps."
The soldier rolled over,
and drifted to sleep.
But, I couldn't control it,
I continued to weep.
I kept watch for hours,
So silent and still;
As both of us shivered
From the cold night's chill.
I didn't want to leave him
On that cold, dark night;
This guardian of honor,
So willing to fight.
Then, the soldier rolled over,
In a voice soft and pure,
He whispered, "Carry on Santa,
It's Christmas Day, all is secure."
One look at my watch,
I knew he was right.
Merry Christmas my friend,
May God bless you this night.

This is a photograph from the annual BHAA Government Services/Social Protection Group's 5 Mile Road Race took place on Tuesday 27th May 2013 at 20:00 in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland. The course is a fast flat course which begins on the Dunboyne-Maynooth Road between the two entrances to Dunboyne Castle Estate. The race then proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction back to the Dunboyne Athletic Club on the Rooske Road in Dunboyne. The race reaches higher standards with every passing year. Paul Gorey and his team of volunteers must be given great credit for putting on such a wonderful race event. Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs taken at the finish line area of the race. There are also some races of the buildup and the start of the race. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644466844507/
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 500 participants .
Weather: A bright sunny evening with little breeze
Course: This course is fully left handed with very little in the way of inclines. Good road surface. These are nice narrow country roads with shelter provided by mature hedgerows. This year the race finished with 3/4 of a lap of the Dunboyne AC track.
Refreshments: Lots and lots as is the tradition with BHAA Events - served outside the scouts hall at the track.

I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

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!

Los domos de sal y glaciares salinos son una característica común de la cordillera de Zagros. Los domos de sal son un estadio de los diapiros salinos. Los diapiros son una estructura importante para la exploración de petróleo, ya que la sal impermeable atrapa con frecuencia el petróleo debajo de las capas de rocas. (Wikipedia).

You are invited to stay and browse through my stream. Here's a quick index to my little corner of Flickr:
Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

While waiting for next photgraphing session I browsed my archives. Found the Moon!
It is taken some three years ago through 11" Celestron with a Watec guarding video camera. There are actually 28 takes, each of which some 10-15 seconds. Each take has been stacked by Registax -program. So I had 28 puzzles which I finally fitted together.
It is a pity that Flickr refuses to accept the real resolution photo which is 2853 x 3104 pixels! Anyway, try the large size, too.
Photographed in 2009 at Country Classic Cars in Staunton, Illinois.
