First part of Bombing of Dresden series: “Dresden before”
This picture depicts two pictures in colour: the one in the left is an original colour photography of Dresden in the 1890s, the second one is a modern re-colourisation I’ve done. Dresden was and still is a city in Saxony, Germany, which lies in a valley on the River Elbe, near the border with the Czech Republic. Its population was 649,252 in 1933, and its historical and heritage, invaluable. In the left side buildings like the Dresden Frauenkirche can be seen, with the Dresden Cathedral at the left. The bridge’s name is Augustus Bridge. Some of these buildings were reconstructed in the 2000s, stone by stone. In just one night, between 13 and 15 February 1945 this skyline would no longer exist.

Taken in about 1901, this urchin looks sad and determined - I wonder how his life panned out.

Soviet soldiers uncovering and neutralizing Tellermine 43 anti-tank mines planted in the road by retreating German Wehrmacht Engineers following the Battle of Kursk, Kursk Oblast, August 1943. The metal probe was used to identify any sign of buried mines. The Tellermine 43 was a German circular steel cased anti-tank blast mine used from 1943 to the end of World War Two. A simplified version of the Tellermine 42, over 3.6 million Tellermine 43s were produced by Germany. Copies of the mine were produced by several countries including Denmark (M/47), France (Model 1948) and Yugoslavia (TMM-1).

Anyone who looks in at my photostream with any regularity will by now know that I enjoy a bit of colourisation. Not only that, they will also know that some of my earlier photographic offerings were a fair bit worse than my later ones. Occasionally I'll have a play when spare time permits, to see if I can improve any of those old pre 35mm images.
This is my latest effort. Back in 1977/8 we found ourselves in Oxford where the traditionally AEC fleet was in retreat under NBC ownership. There were still a number of AEC Renown double deckers working plus a handful of Reliances, but we only ever saw one Swift and this was it. 1966 built DFC 623D was photographed on Gloucester Green bus station (when it was a more useful size) in the company of a Reliance and a Bristol RELH coach. Sadly, like nearly all my output of the day, the result was somewhat unsharp. Hopefully its a little more viewable now even if the job seemed to take an age.
When the world has turned grey, and metal is dominant with rust the only thing growing nature will lead the resistance. It will take hold in the smallest of footholds and will fight back even against a seemingly overwhelming foe.

Soldiers from the Indian Legion being inspected by Luftwaffe officers, Bordeaux, France, February 1944. The Free India Legion, officially the Infantry Regiment 950 (Indian), and later the Indian Volunteer Legion of the Waffen-SS intended to serve as a liberation force for British-ruled India, it was made up of Indian prisoners of war and expatriates in Europe. Initially raised as part of the Heer, it was part of the Waffen-SS from August 1944. A maximum of 2,600 Indians joined or were drafted into the legion. The Indians fought on France, Italy, and In January 1942, 100 men from the unit were parachuted into Persia and infiltrated India to commit sabotage.

The Wallingford Screen is a spectacular reredos in St.Alban's Cathedral, Hertfordshire, England. Completed in 1484 by Abbot William of Wallingford, the statues are replacements of 1884-89 for ones destroyed during the iconoclasm of the Reformation.
For a limited time - which began in March 2023 - St Albans Chathedral has been able to show how wonderful the screen may have looked in medieval times by digitally "colouring" the statues.
The Cathedral has worked in close partnership with Hogarth, a marketing implementation agency (part of WPP group), to explore ground-breaking techniques for bringing history to life, using the latest technology from Panasonic and Epic Games.
Cutting edge scanning and projection techniques using Reality Capture software brought to life the 15th century screen and 19th century statues with a millimetre-accurate 3D scan and re-colourisation, based on historic research by Dr James Alexander Cameron.
The colours have been produced by artist Amara Por Dios, and the technology was used to train apprentices in WPP’s Creative Technology Apprenticeship programme, which aims to diversify the emerging technology workforce.

The official caption states: “Western Front. August 1918. German Army troops man handling guns into position”
This is most probably a photo of Bavarian Infanteriegeschützebatterie (Infantry Gun Battery) No. 2 taken at a training area, possibly near Rethel, France. Note the British Mk. IV and a French Snider tank in the background.
A typical Infantry Gun Battery consisted of 4 guns with a 6 man crew per gun which is the case here (the fourth gun is probably to the left, out of frame. Note the two shadows on the ground). Such units were formed on a divisional level and accompanied infantry for the duration of one operation. The unit would take position on the flanks of the second wave of infantry shock troops and would advance 1000 yards after the first assault wave. Guns would move in two-gun detachments, so that the two other pieces of artillery were always at the ready. The aim was to take out enemy strongholds at close range.
The guns have been identified as 7,7 cm Infanterie-Geschütz 18, a late-war model that never saw action and of which very few photos exist. There’s a camouflaged crate on top of each the guns which gives the illusion of an odd shaped shield.
Also of interest are the camouflaged helmets which seem to be painted unevenly with one single colour over the standard feldgrau. Discernible on some of the helmets is an unidentified crest.
I was unable to identify the binoculars the officer has.

I found this signed picture of female impersonator George Ellisia on ebay recently. The signature suggests that Ms Ellisia was a member of the cast of the movie "Splinters In The Air" details of which can be found on the British Film Institute (explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6b70d8b1) and seems to have been the last of the films that "The Splinters" ( a troupe formed during WW1 and featured elsewhere on my photostream) made.
It is not clear if Ms Ellisia was with the troup durting The Great War, but there are references to her appearing in other stage productions and pantomimes, if anyone reading this has further information I would be delighted to hear more.
Image manipulation performed: Brush cloning and healing to remove the signature. Auto white balance on the resultant image and personal colour interpretation.

My Great Grandfather Norman McAuslan again with a different bicycle. This time the shot is posed in his own studio, hence the painted backdrop. I guess it's still a self portrait, although he would have needed some assistance to take this shot.
The new bike now has a brake (a small pad pressing on the front tyre!), an acetylene lamp and pneumatic tyres.
Norman is wearing a wedding ring in this photo, which dates it after 1891 but before 1900, by which time he was too ill with tuberculosis to work.

Bit more playing with openflights data and orthographic projections.Perhaps haven't quite got the viewing angle in the best place but not bad for a first effort. Again, not exactly original, but I still think an effective image. Really like the raster topography colourisation.
Again shows all (or many) of the worlds flight paths; lighter colours = longer flights, darker colours = shorter flights. Backdrop is a NASA topography image.
Thanks to the internet (mainly stack exchange this time) for guiding me through the process and the wonderful community who have built QGis - truly brilliant bit of kit (and considering what we use at work amazing that it is free!).
I realise this isn't for everyone, but it keeps me out of trouble and I think its fun.
La Rambla is a street in central Barcelona, popular with tourists and locals alike. A tree-lined pedestrian mall, it stretches for 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) connecting Plaça de Catalunya in the centre with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell. La Rambla forms the boundary between the quarters of Barri Gòtic, to the east, and El Raval, to the west.
La Rambla can be crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season. Its popularity with tourists has affected the character of the street, with a move to pavement cafes and souvenir kiosks. It has also suffered from the attention of pickpockets and, especially towards its southern end, sex workers.
The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said that La Rambla was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end."

A Norwegian child being carried to an ambulance from HMS Onslaught at Gourock, Scotland, 1 March 1945. She was one of over 500 civilians recued by the Royal Navy after hiding from the Germans on Sørøya island. 525 Norwegians, who had been hiding from German patrols in caves on the snow covered mountains of Sørøya island, Norway for three months, were rescued by four British destroyers of the Home Fleet who raced in broad daylight, 60 miles behind enemy lines and took them safely to a Gourock.

Gooood morning!
Day off today, but a hectic one, last 2 days off before Uni on Saturday! Eek..
Dashing around the shops and Gran this morning/afternoon then meeting up with some mateys from school back up in London this evening for the last time in a while before we all go our separate ways... Sniff! Should be nice though! :)
Then tomorrow more hectic dashing around, other gran and packing I think! Blimey, where did the last 4 months go?!
So I spotted this beaut yesterday evening wandering around the Victoria area after running for a train and missing it by literally seconds!
Wasn't really sure how I could make it stand out, hence the colourisation, its pretty cheesy I'm afraid and could've done it better but I was frankly exhausted last night! 430 I do believe?!
Happy Tues all.

U.S. 38th Bombardment Group soldier reading a newspaper while working on something else, New Guinea zone, c. 1944. Why did I posted this photo? Today, believe it or not, is United Nations World Toilet Day! World Toilet Day (WTD) is an official United Nations international observance day, celebrated on 19 November, to raise awareness of the global sanitation crisis. Worldwide, 4.5 billion people live without "safely managed sanitation." The global sanitation crisis affects people in developing countries the most. The right to water and sanitation was officially declared a human right by the UN on 28 July 2010. During World War 2, the only way to go the toilet in desparate situations, such as air raids in shelters, people would use a bucket separated by a curtain. Doris Sloane said, “I remember one day, a Chartered Accountant, who was beautifully dressed, with a bowler hat, lent on the curtain, fell backwards into the bucket - his legs and briefcase flying everywhere!”

Shinty is a team game played with sticks and a ball. Shinty is now played mainly in the Scottish Highlands, and amongst Highland migrants to the big cities of Scotland, but it was formerly more widespread,being once competitively played on a widespread basis in England and other areas in the world where Scottish Highlanders migrated.
