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.

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).

Although of poor quality, this photo is extremely interesting given that it seems to portray an actual frontline/combat situation. Something rare, given that most of the best-known Great War ‘combat’ photos are actually behind-the-line re-enactments done for propaganda purposes.
In this case, the soldiers’ body language seems to suggest that they are taking due care not to expose themselves in the somewhat shallow trench or perhaps trying to shelter from incoming artillery as the area appears to have been subjected to heavy shelling. Given that the photo is devoid of a date or location, one can only speculate as to the circumstances.

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 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.

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.

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.
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.

I bought this photo, from the same source as yesterday's offering, with the thought it might make a good colourisation. That was however, until the realisation dawned that I'd no real idea what colour TBU 598G wore during this period of its life! I'm imagining it to be a grey/blue green and white, but maybe I'm confusing it mentally with the Provincial Seddons and those (like this one) later operated by Green Bus of Rugeley. I'll prbably now discover it was red and white!
TBU was bodied 'in house' by Pennine Coachcraft (a Seddon subsidiary). Unlike the ex Rotherham RU operated by us at Stoniers in Stoke on Trent, this bus appears to have the same rear axle as used on the Pennine IV rather than an Eaton unit I was more used to.
A second colorised version of the same black & white photo of BR 2MT 2-6-2T 84004 in the bay platform at Oswestry.
This one has had Auto Color Correction and some sharpening applied using Photoshop Elements. The result is that the greenish tinge in version A has gone.

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."
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!”

A French Schneider CA1 tank and its crew, during the Nivelle Offensive at Berry-au-Bac (part of the Chemin des Dames general Offensive), April 1917.
This was the first time French tanks were employed in numbers, with 128 Schneider tanks taking part in the attack of April 16.
Like any other tank in 1917, the Schneider was a death trap, and a slow one: with a 60hp engine to move its 13,6 tons, it only reached a top speed of 8 km/h (5 mph). Armament: a 75mm gun and 2 Hotchkiss machine-guns.
Of the 128 tanks deployed that day, 76 were destroyed, 57 of which burned causing around 180 casualties. (Other sources state 132 tanks deployed and slightly different figures for tanks destroyed, KIA and MIA).

Violet Helleborine Orchid (Epipactis purpurata f. chlorophylla) with no anthocyanin on the North Downs, Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AONB, Kent England
We originally discovered this plant back in 2015, and we are so glad it made another appearance after missing it in 2016 due to predation. There are many opinions on this specimen but with the help of a few experts it is believed to be a Violet Helleborine (Epipactis purpurata) which is lacking anthocyanin, the colour pigments which make up the normal colourisation of these plants.
We are open to other interpretations if you care to share, but here are a few of the reasons for the ID. There are no other helleborines, specifically the other possibility being the Broad-leaved Helleborine, growing in this heavily canopied and dark woodland. It also grows alongside many other VH orchids, of which there were over 100 in this wood,
UPDATE confirmation of ID as Epipactis purpurata f. chlorophylla
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.
Hit 'L'
