Bangkok railway station or also know as "Hua Lamphong station" , the classical railway station with western modernism architecture that attended for foreigner or Thai traveler to take photos and travel by train and away taking transportation by people who live in this neighborhood.
In the end of 2021, Government had a plan to change main station to Bangsue Grand Station, abolish train travel from Hua Lamphong station and will made them to other space (Ex. park or mall with original station building). Among the sadness of people who love this station, they are opposing these plan.
Me in that time, I felt sad when this station will be closing and I toke slide film with the latest camera to take memorial picture before they are going to the end.
However, after I take this picture around 1 month. Government listen oppose and "Change" plan back to still able train traveling with will made them to be "Living museum". That's good news for us!
This picture I took with Nikon F4, Nikon 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 AF-D lens and Kodak Ektachrome E100 film.
Jarash, Jordan Oct 10 2010
In Jarash they get to work; the Environment Society is organizing a "Cleaning Campaign" as a solution to climate change and to urge politicians to pass clean energy policies.
This was one of over 7,000 climate action events taking place in in 188 countries around the world on 10/10/10 as part of “The Global Work Party.” This synchronized international event is organized by 350.org, and is expected to be the largest day of environmental activism in history.

Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

to the left my trusty JP 80/20 bronze lights. I opted for a slightly heavier .13 phosphor bronze wound. I kinda regret that choice, but let's wait and see what happens when played in.

I was trying to capture the dark clouds setting in over the Southern Coast of Sri Lanka...quite tough cos the gloomy lighting didn't help my poor phone camera.
Location: Galle, Sri Lanka
Here's a closer look at that power plant on the opposite shore of Cayuga Lake, 4.2 miles north of where I was standing in Taughannock Falls State Park as the Google Earth line lies. This is a coal-fired plant built in 1955 with a 323-megawatt (MW) capacity, and it supplied a significant percentage of the electricity used in central New York for a little more than 50 years. The company that built it sold it in 1999, but the company that bought it went bankrupt 12 years later, so somebody else bought it at fire sale prices and came up with a plan to convert it from coal to natural gas.
This wasn't a unique plan. According to the internet, since 2011, about a third of the nation's 360-someodd coal-fired power plants have converted to natural gas in response to stricter environmental controls coupled with a sharp drop in natural gas prices thanks to advances in gas production technologies. (Think fracking.) The benefit to the world at large from this is that electricity is cheaper to produce with natural gas, natural gas production isn't as environmentally destructive (mostly), and natural gas power plants emit about 40% as much carbon per unit of electricity as coal.
The downside is that natural gas is still a fossil fuel, and though its impact on the environment is considerably less than coal, it's still not nothing, and in some places it can be pretty destructive. In short, the power doesn't come without consequence, and the people of New York wanted consequence-free power. The people living around the Finger Lakes protested the conversion, and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo put a stop to it. He wanted New York to be free of fossil fuels by 2050, and he thought a natural gas conversion would slow that transition down. The result of the denied permits was that the Cayuga Lake Power Plant shut down for good in 2019.
So, does this qualify as an environmental win? I wouldn't be so fast. Even if you ignore what the removal of 323 MW from New York's electricity supply does to the grid and where the state might be turning to make up for the loss, there's the question of what happens to the plant itself. The company that bought this plant in 2011 has no interest in just leaving the plant here to rot, so they decided to convert the property into a server farm devoted to mining cryptocurrencies. You know, bitcoin and ethereum and other digital Ponzi schemes. They wouldn't be producing any power here, but a server farm consumes an enormous amount of electricity, and a shuttered power plant already has all the transformers and transmission lines a server farm needs to handle all that. The internet quotes local officials as saying this server farm would use enough electricity to power 16,400 homes. I work that out to a constant draw of about 20 MW.
This has inspired the people of New York to step back and say, "No, wait ... that's not what we meant," because if there's a more pointless use of 20 MW (12 of which would be produced by a natural gas plant just like what they don't have here) than the invention of fake internet money on an increasingly overburdened grid, I can't think of what it'd be. The last report I saw in my quick internet survey about this was published in January, though, and the last eight months have seen a precipitous collapse in the price of tulips ... er, I mean cryptomoney, so I don't know if this is still a thing or not.

The David Bowie tribute fundraising concert was a resounding success. Holy moly! Thanks to everyone who came out to the Stage on Herr to support the Susan Giblin Foundation for Animal Wellness & Welfare. What a night of music and fun! In the past 2 years, we have give out over $10,000 in funds to animals in need. Rock and Roll is our tool.

The living room has had a teensy wee bit of a change-round ~ yet again! There is a jolly good reason for it, though, which I have posted about on my blog: lavenderandpearls.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/looking-to-futur...
I know it's still a minimalist's nightmare but a fair 'ole bit of decluttering/downsizing has gone on in here ;-)
Nothing makes me happier than divesting from fossil fuels and supporting CLEAN, RENEWABLE ENERGY!
HAPPY DIVESTMENT DAY!

Fuck you hippies.
Hah! When Olivia and I had our day at the park on Tuesday she pointed out that someone had written "Be The Change" on the parks gazebo. I made fun of her for being a hippie. It's a on going joke, don't worry.
P.S
I went to schiller camera today and bought some basic things. But I'm super excited! I got a remote :) a UV filter (finally) and just some lens cleaner (much needed).
It may be lame, but I love buying things for my camera, even if its not much. I'm pretty sure its my child.
A walk with Roy, Keith, Bramble and Andy on 11/3/2020 from Weston Hills LNR, Baldock. It was a mild and qute windy morning with clouds and sunshine. Climbing up out of the nature reserve, heading East, the sound of a multitude of Skylarks filled our ears, only briefly exceeded by the traffice in the A505 cutting and tunnel. The ground underfoot was extremely wet and in places muddy. The light changed every second and each scene before us changed from dark to bright and back. Ahead we came up to a field gate proclaiming "Free range chickens" but no mention of the three guardian Alpaccas. We advanced via Green End along the "Hertfordshire Way" and arrived in the church at Weston, resting for coffee etc in a comfy seat in the sun. The churchyard was a mass of Spring flowers. Leaving and onward towards "Hall Green" and round heading West into Weston Park with it's land of amazing ancient oaks. Eventually we settled in the lee of one of these fallen giants for lunch before circling back to Weston counting down with the local schoolkids as the assembled for end of lunchtime break. We got lost briefly in the yard of "Horseshoe Farm" but a horsey lady shouted the way for us and so we reached "Green End" and eventually crossed the A505 to the car for thanks and farewells.

Toogoolawah – C17s N°994 & N°705 – 28.11.69 C17s N°994 & N°705 stand at Toogoolawah with 359Down goods train in the late afternoon of Friday 28th November 1969. Toogoolawah trainmen have just relieved their Yarraman counterparts and the SM and guard walk towards the fireman standing on the platform while three enginemen are crouched beside the leading engine having a chat. No doubt this discussion was tinged with nostalgia and some apprehension of the future as it was the last time such an exchange would take place as trainmen were withdrawn from both places with dieselization of the branch in two days time. The event has historical significance also because this train was the first of only two on the Brisbane Valley Branch to be worked with attached C17 engines. Previously only a PB15 engine was permitted to run attached to a C17on this line. Firemen’s shovels lean against the wall of the cream shed which had long been the accustomed place for enginemen to leave their equipment.

20th ASOS conducts a Change of Command Ceremony 20 July, 2018 at Fort Drum, New York. Lt. Col. Richard Fournier relinquishes command to Lt. Col. Scott Hazy.
NGO ‘Cooperation for Development’ has held round tables and discussion with
local citizens, farmers, women and youth in 5 mountain villages of Rasht
valley, Tajikistan. They raised the awareness on climate change threats for
local agriculture which based on glaciers water. As glaciers melt faster
the water reserves shorten. Both scientific evidence and peoples
observations witnessed that Tajikistani farmers need to take urgent
measures towards climate change adaptation and conservation of agricultural
biodiversity. Overall 200 people took part in the discussions.
