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!”

Whilst researching online about British FI Tommy Rose (www.flickr.com/photos/23638019@N05/8054026007/in/photostream). I found this article on the Brighton "Our Story" website (www.brightonourstory.co.uk/newsletters/summer06/tales.htm) and this rather precious image of Sonny Dawkes, who formed a partnership with Tommy Rose in the post WW2 years, in fact there is a caricature of them and other pantomime performers on the V&A website (collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O86533/gary-webb-sonny-dawkes-...).
Rather than simply lift the image to share here, I have attempted one of my colourisation attempts. The Brighton Story article indicates that Sonny sadly passed away in June 2006, but it provides a wonderful insight into Female Impersonation in the British during those times.
As always, if the subjects family and/or current copyright holders object to my reproduction of this image I will gladly remove.

So many lovely variations in colourisation and patterns on these. And I just love the way the walls flatten their bodies out to maximum the coverage for heat intake.
I thought it was time to look out some more of my old family photos and give them a bit of a 'polish'.
This is my Great Grandfather Norman Jones McAuslan with his 'penny farthing' bicycle taken at the studios of J. Clark of Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. Assuming Norman is in his late teens in this picture, the photo would have been taken in the late 1870s.
In his adult life, Norman was a photographer himself with a small studio in Belper, Derbyshire. Sadly, he suffered from tuberculosis and died in Australia in 1905, aged 43.

Austrian Schwarzlose machine gun mountain unit between Monte Cevedale and the Gran Zebrù, Northern Italy, c. 1917. The Italian Front, known in German as the Gebirgskrieg ("Mountain war"), was the front that saw hostilities between Austria-Hungary and Italy during World War I. After secret promises made in the Treaty of London, Italy entered the war to take Austria-Hungary southern territories. This manoeuvre was intended to be fast and to take the Austrians at another front. The Austrians, however, answered the offensive with trench warfare and gained terrain into Italy, eventually being defeated when general Díaz took command over general Cadorna and pushed over the Veneto.

The Schwerer Gustav was a railway gun, the largest-calibre rifled weapon used in combat, the heaviest mobile artillery piece built in terms of overall weight, and that which fired the heaviest shells of any artillery piece. It was developed in the late 1930s by Krupp in Darłowo as siege artillery for the purpose of destroying the main forts of the French Maginot Line. Gustav was deployed in the Soviet Union after the Battle of France, where it didn’t see action, where it destroyed a munitions depot. The gun was moved to Leningrad, and may have been intended to be used in the Warsaw Uprising. Gustav was destroyed by the Germans near the end of the war in 1945 to avoid capture by the Red Army.

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.

The German crew of a captured British Mark IV ‘male’ tank named ‘Heinz’ pose for the camera, May 1918.
The officer in the center is said to be 2nd Leutnant Heinrich Köhler, commander of tank 207 'Heinz', tank No.4 of Abteilung 14. If this is indeed Panzer 207, according to other photos, 'Heinz' was lost in action during the fighting near Fort de la Pompelle on June 1, 1918.

A German observer jumping from his observation balloon, 1917-1918. While this picture's original description written on 13 November 1918 reads "German aviator escapes from attacked ballon. German Soldier jumping from gondola of his observation balloon during an attack by allied aircraft. His parachute has not opened yet", it is difficult to know if this is a staged photograph. Instead of a real action photo, this seems to show a German official demonstrating the method of escape from an observation balloon in the event of attack. However, this image is featured in a collection of war stamps. Its caption reads: "The spring battle at Arras. April 2 - May 25, 1917. Parachute jump of an artillery watcher from a captive balloon during an enemy air raid. From the official material of the Reichasarchiv Potsdam." Others point it was taken by a nearby aviator. The original was most likely taken by a German soldier or photographic unit, which was later captured by American soldiers. That would explain its presence in the archives labeled as "Enemy Activities - Miscellaneous" and without the date of shot. Reconnaissance balloons hanged up to more than 1000 metres above the ground and, while they had by anti-aircraft batteries and machine guns, were easy but fortified victims. Shooting a balloon down counted as taking down any other aircraft (1).

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
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).

A British lieutenant briefs his section leaders (note a 2nd lieutenant at his right) during an exercise in the snow by troops of the 1/7th Battalion, Warwickshire Regiment, between Douai and Orchies, taken by Captain Leonard 'Len' Arthur Puttnam, 26 January 1940. The 1/7th Battalion had just arrived in France in time to join the British Expeditionary Force, which was assigned the task of reinforcing French units and stopping any attempt of German advance. It seems the Company H.Q. was established in the Forest of Flines, near Douai (1). In May, German and British forces clashed in the Ypres-Comines Canal, near the French-Belgian border, south of Dunkirk (2). By the end of the month, only 15 officers and 200 soldiers were left, being ordered to retreat north to Dunkirk, where they were repatriated back to England. Their actions in Belgium were essential to delay the German advance and secure the withdrawal of the BEF. All men in the picture are unnamed. The very same day the photograph was taken, Brisbane registered its hottest day ever, at 43.2 °C.

Rogier van der Weyden (ca. 1399-1464)
Adoration of the Kings (St. Columba Altarpiece)
Central panel: Adoration of the Magi
Left wing: Annunciation
Right wing: Presentation in the Temple
Alte Pinakothek, Munich
Inv. Nr. WAF 1189, WAF 1190, WAF 1191
Acquired in 1827 from the Sammlung Boisserée
The artist captures the display of splendour at court while combining realism in the detailing with religious symbols and typological references. The solemn earnestness of his figures and the careful depiction of the human face are characteristic of his work. While the Annunciation scene provides a view of a middle class bedchamber as would have been found in one of the houses in the background, van der Weyden skillfully links the interior used for the 'Presentation in the Temple' with an exterior view in the central panel. The retable was originally in St Mary's Chapel in St Columba's, which was built by Johann Rinck, a major benefactor of this church in Cologne, between 1458 and 1464. He is, however, not the donor depicted in the painting.
========================================================
Rogier van der Weyden (Dutch: [roːˈɣiːr vɑn dɛr ˈʋɛi̯də(n)]) or Roger de la Pasture (1399 or 1400 – 18 June 1464) was an Early Netherlandish painter whose surviving works consist mainly of religious triptychs, altarpieces and commissioned single and diptych portraits.
He was highly successful and internationally famous in his lifetime; his paintings were exported – or taken – to Italy and Spain,[1] and he received commissions from, amongst others, Philip the Good, Netherlandish nobility, and foreign princes.[2]
By the latter half of the 15th century, he had eclipsed Jan van Eyck in popularity. However his fame lasted only until the 17th century, and largely due to changing taste, he was almost totally forgotten by the mid-18th century.
His reputation was slowly rebuilt during the following 200 years; today he is known, with Robert Campin and van Eyck, as the third (by birth date) of the three great Early Flemish artists (Vlaamse Primitieven or "Flemish Primitives"), and widely as the most influential Northern painter of the 15th century.[3]
Very few details of van der Weyden's life are known.[4][5] The few facts we know come from fragmentary civic records. Yet the attribution of paintings now associated to him is widely accepted, partly on the basis of circumstantial evidence, but primarily on the stylistic evidence of a number of paintings by an innovative master.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogier_van_der_Weyden
Van der Weyden worked from life models, and his observations were closely observed. Yet he often idealised certain elements of his models' facial features, who were typically statuesque, especially in his triptychs. All of his forms are rendered with rich, warm colourisation and a sympathetic expression, while he is known for his expressive pathos and naturalism. His portraits tend to be half length and half profile, and he is as sympathetic here as in his religious triptychs. Van der Weyden used an unusually broad range of colours and varied tones; in his finest work the same tone is not repeated in any other area of the canvas, so even the whites are varied.[6]

Soviet soldiers holding PPSh-41 while defending the outskirts of Stalingrad, November 1942. The PPSh-41 is the abbreviation of “pistolet-pulemyot Shpagina”, which means "Shpagin machine pistol". It was a Soviet submachine gun designed by Georgi Shpagin as a cheap, reliable, and simplified alternative to the PPD-40. The PPSh saw extensive combat use during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the major infantry weapons of the Soviet Armed Forces during World War II. Around six million PPSh-41s were manufactured, and was still used by Vietnamese Viet Cong as late as 1970. A common nickname in Russian is "pe-pe-sha" (ППШ), which means "daddy".

John "Jack" Gaghan was born at Petersburg or Tarcowie, South Australia, on 7 October 1897 to Sarah Gaghan, née McDonald, a presbyterian mother (1). In 1915 he was single and worked as a labourer in Tarcowie, a small town in South Australia. He decided to enlist at Keswick on 24 March 1915 and served with the 10th Infantry Battalion. Gaghan embarked on HMAT Kanowna A61 in Adelaide on 23 June 1915 (2). After a time in Egypt he was redirected to London, where he suffered injuries and was then placed for combat. He was shot in his right forearm on 21 September 1917 and wounded again on 31 May 1918, this time a gunshot on his right knee (1). He recovered in September and rejoined his unit, and eventually returned to Australia in 1919 (3), where he received the Victory and British War Medals three years later, as well as a 1914-15 Star. He had served 4 years and 105 days. Gaghan was married to Noemie Ashken Arzeian and died 20 December 1933 (4).
