Often called the Munnar Rose Garden, this attraction is actually the KFDC (Kerala Forest Development Corporation) Floriculture Centre, located on the Mattupetty Road, a short distance from Munnar town. It was developed as part of KFDC's eco-tourism initiatives to promote conservation awareness and showcase ornamental and useful plant species.
Perched amidst the misty hills of Munnar, the KFDC Rose Garden is a vibrant celebration of Kerala's rich flora. Beyond its famous roses, the garden showcases exotic flowers, medicinal herbs, spice plants and tropical fruits, all set against the backdrop of rolling tea plantations. Every corner bursts with colour, fragrance and natural beauty, making it a paradise for photographers, gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike.
لحظات فرح تتحرر من بين ركام الحزن وانسكاب الدمع لتنعش حياتنا

Breakfast was at the Moonraker narrowboat, which we discovered earlier in the year. We do like it in there! Good quality breakfast and lovely friendly staff.

A visitor’s comment (Struan Robertson – Operation Hunger) about Red Location during the 1980’s:
“Set out on barren beach-gravel, just west of the main railway line, were rows of small gable-ended houses, made of corrugated iron.”
“Originally one of three camps (the other two being White and Blue Locations), it had been build at the turn of the Century as transit accommodation for British troops beings shipped to the Boer War”
“The wind and rain of 88 years had long since stripped the metal, not only of the paint but also of galvinising”
“The salt air had got to work and now the houses were the rust-red colour of the hematite their iron sheets had been fashioned from”
“Gales had pulled off roof panels and salt had corroded holes in roofs and walls”
“Yet people were living there. We entered one house where the wind whistled through gaps and found eight people wrapped in blankets on four beds, two to a bed and all sick”
“The wooden ceiling above them was rotten with damp and through gaps I could see sky where the iron roof had rusted away”
“As we went back to town along the freeway, with the grey silhouette of central Port Elizabeth ahead over the green sea, I found myself seething with anger”
“Places like Red Location are, in the truest sense, obscene; ‘repulsive, loathsome, repugnant’ as the Concise Oxford gives it” end Quote
Red Location became a “hotspot of struggle” against the former Apartheid Regime
A number of significant struggle events took place in Red Location. One outstanding event was the 1952 Defiance Campaign against the Pass Laws.
The national Defiance campaign was launched during 1952 and the first arrests were done in Red Location.
On 26 June at 05h00, after praying the whole night at the New Brighton Civic Centre, under the leadership of Raymond Mhlaba, the first group of activists entered the “Europeans only” section of the New Brighton Station. They were arrested by 06h30.
Nompi Njongwe, the wife of Dr Njongwe led the first group of 21 women defiants. Dedeka Heliso, who later married Raymond Mhlaba in Robben Island prison, was part of this group.
The implementation of the M-Plan (Mandela Plan = street and area committees) as well as the first cell of Mkonto weSizwe originated from Red Location
Many well known people such as Raymond Mhlaba, Dora Nginza, Ernest Malgas, Wilton Mkwayi, Florence Matomela, George Pemba, etc. were either born or lived in the area
These cottages have been earmarked for preservation under the Red Location Cultural Precinct.

A weekend in Derby to visit Gemma and go for a visit to Dovedale in the Peak District.
Saturday morning was our trip to Dovedale. This place is so beautiful, it takes my breath away. Words can't describe really, it's paradise!

My original comment about this high cross read as follows: As you walk along a lonely country lane from the LUAS tram stop at Laughanstown to the old church at Tully the first thing of note that you will see is a well preserved high cross. The cross was saved from destruction by James Grehan in the later part of the nineteenth century. The road next to the cross was being lowered and James Grehan had this small wall built and the cross placed upon it at it's original height.
Today it is nearly the end of 2017 and I have just realised that Dublin [Greater Dublin] is now changing faster than I can photograph the changes and as a result I really do need to review my programme for 2018. I think that the changes are more rapid than in the Celtic Tiger period.
Today as the sunlight was magical I decided to use my 15mm Voigtlander with my new Sony A7RIII body and I was more than a little bit surprised by the results. I am now convince that the Sony A7RIII is very much superior to the A7RII. Also while I was inclined to avoid using the Voigtlander 15mm until now I must confess that I was really impressed by it when combined with the A7RIII.
Every time I publish photographs of Laughanstown I receive mail advising me that I made a spelling error and that the name of the area is Loughlinstown. I am one hundred percent certain that there is no tram stop named Loughlinstown but to be fair I cannot blame anyone for being confused as it could well be argued that Laughanstown is in Loughlinstown.
Today, I met a very helpful lady on the tram who was convinced that I was totally confused about my destination. Even when I showed her photographs of the old church and graveyard she was not at all convinced that I was not confused.
I think that I last visited the area about a year ago so I was not really expecting to see any changes. In the past I was able to access the historic sites via a narrow country lane. Today I was a bit disappointed to discover that access to a really old historic cross was barred because of a major redevelopment. I met a gentleman, walking his dog, and was surprised to discover that he was East European [he look like a local farmer and I suspect that he actually was a farmer] but he explained to me that the area was being redeveloped as a public park with a major road passing through it and that I could only gain access to the site from Carrikmines. As the sunset was approaching I decided that it was best to come back at a later date.
[UPDATE... Further Research Resulted In The Following Information]
Tully Park is located at the centre of the Cherrywood development, and the park itself is centred on the ruins of the Tully Church and Graveyard. Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park.
Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections.
Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone which includes a large play area for kids, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns, meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
Tully Park will be located beside a primary and secondary school. These schools and the local community will be able to avail of the outdoor recreational facilities and open space within Tully Park.
I was looking through several members' streams and found on Boo_Boo_Kitty's that she has started watermarking her photos because of the current furore on usage of copyrighted photos posted to Flickr.
Below was my comment.
Re your note, I saw this too. I am annoyed by this too but wouldn't go so far as to watermark my photos. I think it spoils the photo.
The questions for me was 'Am I ever going to try and sell any of my photos?' and 'Would I enjoy seeing my photos used or published?' For me it was no and yes in that order so I chose Some rights reserved with Attribution. You must give the original author credit.
I have, for example, a book on Asia on my bookshelf with my photo of the Great Wall, a travel guide for South Africa with my elephant photo on the front cover and my car club magazine with my photo of my car on the front cover (OK I submitted the last one!)
If you put All rights reserved anyone who does use your photo is not going to tell you and you will only be annoyed if you find out. If you allow usage with accreditation you will find many (of course not all) people still asking if they may use your photo and offering a copy of the publication or the link to their web site.
I have seen several of my photos published and even created a set for published photos.
Putting all possible restrictions on uploaded photos can't stop someone doing a screen grab and using that as mobile phone wallpaper, in a blog and so on. Even your faint watermark would be barely visible on a mobile phone.
If I had a photo I wanted to sell or have restricted usgae I wouldn't put it on Flickr.
Hope I don't seem like I am on my soapbox, it's just my point of view.
What do others think?
Loughborough, Leicestershire based animal feed supplier GLW Feeds Limited has just entered into service two Scania G424LA4x2MNA Highline tractor units complete with twin axled, multi compartment trailers built by Priden Engineering with a special rear steer trailer bogie. This enables greater efficiency for the transport/supply of different animal feed types but within a single aluminium body allowing the vehicle combinations to deliver to several farms without returning back to the feed mill. This, in combination with a rear steer bogie, gives excellent access to farms that, ordinarily, would not be able to be serviced by an articulated combination, only a rigid vehicle.
Neale Jones comments that he selected Scania again on the basis of their low running cost in the GLW Feeds fleet of vehicles (currently standing at 36 vehicles of which 20 are Scania).
The deal was agreed between Neale Jones and Account Manager Ivor Morris of Groby ( http://keltruck.com/ivormorris ) and included Keltruck's full aftersales service offering to support these new vehicles.
Keltruck's repair & maintenance facilities at the Groby ( http://keltruck.com/groby ) & Burton ( http://keltruck.com/burton ) depots now take care of the whole of the GLW Feeds fleet of vehicles including 2 Hino trucks, 2 Foden trucks and 2 DAF trucks - one stop shopping as Mr Jones commented.

"Tragedy In Waiting"- OAR
It's a tragedy in waiting
when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
It's a tragedy in waiting when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
Call it pleasure if you lie
But believe me when I say a busy mind will learn to change it all
It's not like I am asking for the world to fall apart
I know that it's eventually to come
Sometimes we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
Have you ever left your suitcase open long after you land?
And you're scared to fold away all of your clothes
Destiny may wait, but the present day's at hand
They forgot to tell me how to end this show
Could it be that I'm the one who tied my hands behind my back?
I know that it is possible for now
Sometime we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me
I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me
I've got a mind that wonders off in search of something
And I'm gonna get there
Sometimes we might fall
Stand up taller
Someday we may fall away
Sometime we might crawl
Stand up taller
Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
~~~~~~~~~
