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.

RAF Thorpe Abbotts is a former Royal Air Force station located 4 miles east of Diss, Norfolk. The station was built for the RAF use but handed over to the United States Army Air Forces in 1943 and upgraded for heavy bomber squadrons.
RAF Thorpe Abbotts was built during 1942 and early 1943 for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a satellite airfield for RAF Horham but the rapid buildup of the Eighth Air Force resulted in both airfields being handed over to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The thirty-six hardstandings originally planned were increased to fifty. Two T-2 hangars were erected, one on the east side of the flying field and one on the south side adjacent to the technical site. This and several of the domestic sites were in woodland stretching south and bordering the A143 Diss to Harleston road.
Thorpe Abbotts was given USAAF designation Station 139, (TA).
The 100th Bombardment Group (Heavy) arrived at RAF Thorpe Abbotts on 9th June 1943, from Kearney AAF Nebraska. The 100th was assigned to the 13th Combat Bombardment Wing, and the group tail code was a ''Square-D''. Its operational squadrons were:
▪︎349th Bombardment Squadron (XR)
▪︎350th Bombardment Squadron (LN)
▪︎351st Bombardment Squadron (EP)
▪︎418th Bombardment Squadron (LD)
The group flew the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress as part of the Eighth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign. In combat, the 100th operated chiefly as a strategic bombardment organization until the war ended. The group gained the nickname ''The Bloody Hundredth'' due to its heavy losses during eight missions to Germany when the group experienced several instances where it lost a dozen or more aircraft on a single mission, whereas most units suffered losses in consistent small amounts.
From June 1943 to January 1944, as part of the Combined Bomber Offensive the 100th Bomb Group concentrated its efforts against airfields in France and naval facilities and industries in France and Germany. The 100th BG received a Distinguished Unit Citation for seriously disrupting German fighter plane production with an attack on an aircraft factory at Regensburg as part of the Schweinfurt–Regensburg mission on 17th August 1943.
On 10th October 1943, the bomb raid that the 100th BG made on Münster, ended up with the only surviving 100th BG B-17 that went out on the raid, the ''Royal Flush'' (s/n 42-6087) commanded that day by Robert Rosenthal and flown by his regular crew, returning safely on just two working engines and both waist gunners seriously wounded, to RAF Thorpe Abbotts.
''Masters of the Air'' is a 2024 American war drama miniseries created by John Shiban and John Orloff for Apple TV+. It is based on the 2007 book of the same name by Donald L. Miller and follows the actions of the 100th Bomb Group, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit in the Eighth Air Force in eastern England during World War II. Masters of the Air recounts the story of the 100th Bomb Group during World War II and follows bomber crews on dangerous missions to destroy targets inside German-occupied Europe, especially the doomed october 10th 1943 mission to Münster Germany, when only one B-17 flown by Robert Rosenthal came back.
The Bloody 100th bombed airfields, industries, marshalling yards, and missile sites in western Europe, January – May 1944. Operations in this period included participation in the Allied campaign against enemy aircraft factories during ''Big Week'' 20th – 25th February 1944. The group completed a series of attacks against Berlin in March 1944 and received a second Distinguished Unit Citation for the missions.
Beginning in the summer of 1944, oil installations became major targets. In addition to strategic operations, the group engaged in support and interdictory missions, hitting bridges and gun positions in the transportation plan preparations for the invasion of Normandy in June 1944. The unit bombed enemy positions at Saint-Lô in July and at Brest in August and September. Other missions were striking transportation and ground defences in the drive against the Siegfried Line, October – December 1944; attacking marshalling yards, defended villages, and communications in the Ardennes sector during the ''Battle of the Bulge'', December 1944 – January 1945; and covering the airborne assault across the Rhine in March 1945.
The 100th Bomb Group received the French Croix de Guerre with Palm for attacking heavily defended installations in Germany and for dropping supplies to French Forces of the Interior, June – December 1944. The 100th BG flew its last combat mission of World War II on 10th April 1945 which was number 306. In December 1945, the group returned to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. Group personnel were demobilized and the aircraft sent to storage. The unit was inactivated on 21st December 1945 and redesignated as the 100th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy).
After the war, the airfield was transferred to the RAF on 27th June 1946. After many years of inactivity, RAF Thorpe Abbotts was closed in 1956. With the end of military control, the airfield was largely returned to agricultural use with most of the perimeter track, runways and hardstands removed. A small airstrip was built on a part of the former perimeter track which is used for light aircraft. The control tower was restored in 1977 and was turned into the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum. Several World War II era buildings remain in various states of decay.

Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.

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
To promote forest health and reduce hazardous buildups of brush, branches, and needles that could result in a catastrophic wildfire, the Airport Road South Prescribed Fire was conducted on May 11, 2016, by the BLM Carson City District-Sierra Front Field Office. This photo shows low fire consuming needles, brush, and branches, making more room for the Jeffrey pines to grow and reducing the chances of wildfire.
This is a drawing done on sketch paper as an exercise to practice building up a drawing. If I was going to do a finished drawing, it would have been best to choose a good "drawing" paper.There is a difference. Charcoal is best on charcoal paper, ink works well on bristol paper, pastel grabs the texture of pastel paper best and drawings work best on drawing paper.
1.) In the above drawing I took my measurements first, blocked in the figures's proportions first.
2.) Next, I suggested the darks and lights.
3.) Third, I blended the whole thing and softened the pencil lines up a bit by erasing into them against the stroke to "cut" it up a bit.
4.) Then I looked for the strong shadow primiters.
5.) Again, I blended it all in to soften and refine it.
6.) Lastly, I erased back into it to pull out some hilights.
If I was going to refine it any further, I would go back and forth a few more times sharpening up the darks, then the lights and then blending it.

Tirana, Albania -- With the initial buildup of forces for Joint Task Force Sustain Hope and a few days of intermittent rain, the base camp is a mud pit in the making. Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Sustain Hope, is a combined NATO and joint U.S. military humanitarian relief effort, in conjunction with civilian relief agencies. Sustain Hope is bringing relief to thousands of refugees in Albania displaced by the current unrest in the region of Kosovo, Yugoslavia. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.Chris Steffen)

Omg; this was so over the top to us. The buildup to the Vietnam war was getting to over 500,000 troops stationed over there; the daily body count of U.S. Soldiers ranged somewhere between zero and 200 per day (I think the U.S. now admits that over 58,000 American soldiers died in the Vietnam war). But, the Jefferson Airplane was coming to play at my old High School. At that time, The Doors got second billing, and we and my friends could bluff our way into a nightclub and see them, with just barely over 100 people there. Oh, and please notice that the total price to gain admittance was $3!
Philadelphia, November 15 – In response to a significant U.S. military buildup near Venezuela, over a dozen Philadelphia organizations joined more than 60 coordinated actions in 8 countries to demand “No War on Venezuela!” and to oppose growing U.S. intervention in Latin America and the Caribbean. The local peace and social justice coalition held a rally and march starting at City Hall and ending in front of a U.S. military recruiting center to call for the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the region and for the establishment of a genuine Zone of Peace in the Americas.
The coalition asserts that the overt threats of regime change in Venezuela and Colombia constitute a blatant violation of international law and the sovereignty of nations. They draw a direct line between militarism abroad and repression at home, highlighting increased defense spending while critical domestic programs like SNAP benefits and healthcare face cuts.
The Philadelphia demonstration against U.S. imperialist aggression was organized and endorsed by Anakbayan, Black Alliance for Peace, Code Pink, Democratic Socialist of America, Free Congo, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, International Concerned Family & Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Juntos, Koreans for Decolonialization Penn, Korea Peace Committee, Mobilization4Mumia, Philadelphia Palestine Coalition, Philly Bund, and Workers World Party.
The actions come as the United States deploys an aircraft carrier battle group, including destroyers, jet fighters, and nuclear submarines, to the Caribbean. Over 67 people have been extra judiciously killed by the US strikes on boats in the Caribbean so far. The Trump regime has openly called for the military overthrow of Venezuela's President Maduro and the replacement of Colombia's President Petro, following decades of hybrid warfare against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
“This is a build-up to another endless U.S. war – a war to militarize the whole Western Hemisphere,” said Sara Flounders of the Workers World Party, a rally organizer. “Meanwhile, the use of Federal troops and thousands of ICE agents in raids and mass arrests, along with massive increases in health costs and cuts to government services, are an attack on all working people in the U.S.”
Activists condemn the U.S. government's justification for the escalation. Trump’s narrative of “narcoterrorism operations” have resulted in six recent missile strikes off the coast of Venezuela that have extrajudiciously killed over 67 people, with no due process. They argue this pretext masks the true economic motives behind the aggression.
“This move towards all-out war has nothing to do with drug trafficking, cartels or the wellbeing of Americans facing a drug crisis,” stated Joe Lombardo, Co-Coordinator of the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC). “Venezuela possesses the greatest known oil reserves in the world. The Venezuelan government refuses to be dominated by the U.S. and is determined to use its own oil, gas, and mineral resources for the benefit of its own people, not for U.S. corporations.”
The message from the growing movement is clear: it is time for the public to take to the streets to resist these government and corporate attacks on the people of Latin America and the Caribbean, and to stop the simultaneous militarization and repression of people within the United States.

This nationwide mobilization is supported by over 35 organizations: United National Antiwar Coalition, Venezuela Solidarity Network, US Peace Council, All-African People’s Party-GC, All-African People’s Party, Alliance for Global Justice, Code Pink, Chicago ALBA Solidarity, Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition, Peace and Solidarity Commission of the Communist Party USA, School of the Americas Watch, Task Force on the Americas, Alberto Lovera Bolivarian Circle, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Minnesota Solidarity Network of the Americas, Sanctions Kill Campaign, Workers World Party, Periodismo de Verdad, Resist U.S. Led War, Honduras Solidarity Network, Cross Border Network, National Network on Cuba, Black Alliance for Peace, Anti War Action Network, Women Against Military Madness, Kawsachun News, Popular Resistance, International Action Center, Casa Baltimore Limay, Friends of Latin America.

Pileus cloud developing over cumulonimbus buildup west of Phoenix, AZ.
Quote from Wikipedia
"Iridescent clouds are a diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals individually scattering light. Larger ice crystals produce halos. If parts of clouds have small droplets or crystals of similar size, their cumulative effect is seen as colors. The cloud must be optically thin, so that most rays encounter only a single droplet. Iridescence is therefore mostly seen at cloud edges or in semi-transparent clouds, and newly forming clouds produce the brightest and most colorful iridescence."
Years of neglect and buildup on the glass panes of the Key Systems Building, which closed in 1989 after the Loma Prieta earthquake.
The lights in the bottom panes are from a rooftop courtyard on an adjacent building.

Border crossing at Nogales, Sonora, Mexico -- These hills, with their relatively dense buildup of homes, are on the Mexico side of the border with the U.S. Without warning, they spring up all at once as you drive around a bend and crest a hill after a 50-mile drive through a sparsely-populated part of Arizona. It's quite a colorful effect that is unique to places with absolute barriers, both artificial and natural. At the end of that drive, you find yourself coming down a slope in your car and staring at a small city that seems strangely different from what you're accustomed to seeing; and then you realize you are looking at Mexico, not Arizona. This seemingly misplaced clutter of buildings blanketing a narrow valley and its steep slopes, announces that you have arrived at Mexico's doorstep. Mexico's streetlife is infinitely more lively than that of its neighbor. Arizona, of all the 50 states, has some of the least peopled streets, thus, it sets you up for a real contrast.
From the looks of the massive buildup, this pipe has been leaking for decades. Considering that this site has been abandoned for decades, this is entirely possible.
There is an abandoned brick factory visible from New York Avenue on the grounds of the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, DC. The brick kilns here were owned by a company called United Brick Corporation and were apparantly just one of many brick factories along the Anacostia at one time. The site is now on the National Registery of Historic Places, but has fallen into massive disrepair.
mindgutter has a set of photos of the complex that complements mine well.
