The Funeral of Akidi
they stared loss directly in the face
and let it soak into their skin
connected to the nature of it all
Part VI of "The Funeral of Akidi"
A selective color photography series meant as an exploration into the process of mourning, the depth of loss, and the fantastic beauty that is held within it.
This series was taken on April 9th, 2014 at a traditional Northern Ugandan funeral. It is paired with a collection of poems, wire wrapped necklaces and audio recordings.

The Shropshire Union canal starts from Ellesmere Port on the River Mersey traversing the Wirral peninsula to Chester. This stretch, which was completed in 1797, was originally part of the unfinished Ellesmere Canal. The industrial waterway was intended to connect the Port of Liverpool on the River Mersey to the River Severn at Shrewsbury via the North East Wales Coalfields. However only eight years after the completion of the contour canal between Netherpool and Chester, the proposed project became uneconomical. This meant the planned 25 kilometres (16 mi) mainline from Chester to Trevor Basin near Wrexham was never constructed. Instead the northern Wirral section was joined to the pre-existing Chester Canal; eventually becoming part of the network Shropshire Union.
Although the Ellesmere Canal was not completed as intended, the central section of the Ellesmere Canal was built. These sections now form part of the waterways: Llangollen Canal and Montgomery Canal. Both are actually branches of the Shropshire Union mainline, although for leisure purposes they are considered to be separate canals.

The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Pampering Complete
Crystal did Anna’s pedicure and Vicky did mine. Anna got Cowboys blue and silver on her toes and Crystal wrote Dak on one big toe and #4 on the other. Anna and I enjoyed our massaging chairs while we got our pedicures too. It was some much needed relaxation and pampering! After pedis, we went to Visionworks and got her glasses adjusted. The Cowboys lost on Sunday and there may have been a throwing incident. Oops.

WEEK 23 – Keeping Up with the McDonald'ses
A late January look at the finished Hernando McDonald's remodel. Not taken specifically for a McDonald's shot – rather, I was trying to get zoomed-out pictures of Commerce Street retail – but it'll have to do.
...and I do have to say, after these few months, it's grown on me ;)

You'll have to wait for my full thoughts on the iPhone 6/6 Plus and their cameras. And I haven't even looked at all of my photos yet. But I'm very pleased with many of shots I came home with today.
(OK, technically, "the shots I came to the Panera a few Green Line stops away" with.)
Reptons Coaches' ex-Countryliner MPD, KU52 RXX, entered service on the 478 in September 2013, in place of Enviro200 SL62 REP which was damaged in an accident in July.
Is the Enviro ever coming back does anyone know - it's looking less and less likely now?
In the meantime, KU52 RXX has been re-registered to SL52 REP, and now has the "Reptons" fleet name vinyls applied, as seen here.
All it needs now is blinds!

The switching layout is now pretty much finished. All areas are polished off and it’s a blast to operate. I’ve been quite happy with all the subtle details I’ve been able to model with this layout. It’s very fun to operate and I think really compliments whatever is running at the time!
The catenary is partly completed. Diesel trains are still operating on the Gawler line. In the meantime more construction is taking place on North Tce, © Henk Graalman
For various reasons we haven’t been down to the harbour arm much this summer. For one thing, on bank holidays the weather was so hot that the world and his wife seem to descend on Folkestone, so we stayed in the garden. But the improvement works have virtually been completed now it seems, so here is an up-to-date photo. You can see that the old signal box is being used as a bakery and wine bar, depending on the day and time.
20 choses sur moi :
{1} Je n'aime pas les vacances (enfin, celles-ci) parce que je m'ennuie à mort... Mais bon, ça m'a permis de réfléchir sur moi, et de mieux me connaître (et de me sentir encore plus seul)...
{2} Depuis que j'ai les cheveux longs (autour de mes 8 ans, je dirais...), on me prend tout le temps pour une fille... Beaucoup moins depuis mes 12 ans (la voix et la poitrine aidant...), mais toujours un peu...
{3} Je fraude tout le temps pour prendre mon train, j'ai une bonne excuse... Ça marche environ 1 fois sur 3, et les autres fois, je paie pas de supplément ;p!
{4} Je fais partie du groupe des "bizarres" au collège/lycée, on s'habille un peu différemment, on aime le Japon, on a des délires bizarres, on écoute pas la même musique que tout le monde...
{5} J'ai des goûts musicaux très variés, une des seules musiques que je déteste est le rap français... L'Américain, le Japonais et le Coréen, c'est pas mal des fois!
{6} Je suis interne dans mon lycée parce que depuis le début du collège, je fais de la musique en emplois du temps aménagés (la Maîtrise du Conseil Général de la Loire).
{7} Je suis un littéraire pur et dur (DOUM!), même si j'ai 19 de moyenne dans à peu près toutes les matières (en 3°, au lycée, je sais pas encore), sauf en sport, où j'ai 15 (mec qui se la pète). D'ailleurs, on "m'insulte" souvent d'intello, mais souvent je le prends bien, parce que ça permet de les remballer facilement ;)!
{8} Bien qu'assez fort en cours, je passe pour un gros débile dans la vie de tous les jours, et je suis pas très fut' fut'...
{9} J'aime me balader dans la rue, et assumer mes différences (l'amour des dolls, mon homosexualité, ma façon de parler, parfois ma façon de m'habiller...), sauf si je croise des gens que je connais... J'aime bien le faire sur internet aussi (vous avez remarqué, je pense...).
{10} Je ne suis jamais tombé vraiment amoureux, et c'est ce qui me manque le plus au monde... Pour le moment...
{11} Des fois, j'ai des gros coup de cœurs sur des musiques que je qualifie généralement de pourries... Comme en ce moment, "Smile" de Avril Lavigne... En même temps, cette fille est juste sublime *^*!
{12} Je n'arrive pas à me faire un personnage avec une pullip... Quelque chose me bloque la création dan ma tête... Alors que les tae', c'est le bonheur...
{13} J'aime le Yaoi... C'est génial! Mais pas trop le hard, plutôt le shonen-ai! Avec le excellent "No. 6" (un anime, mais même ceux qui n'aiment pas le yaoi peuvent regarder, c'est tous publics...).
{14} C'est assez rare (comme les baleines //VLAAN//), mais parfois je déteste quelqu'un à un point assez extrême... Pas au point de vouloir leur mort, mais plutôt leur retrait de la société... Comme quelqu'un avec qui j'ai passé 2 ans à l'internat... Ou encore Eric Zemmour, ou un psychologue avec des idées archaïques que j'avais vu dans un débat pour le Mariage Pour Tous (même si je n'aime pas ce nom...). Aussi, pour les personnes importantes de la Manif' Pour Tous, ce sont les personnes que j'abhorre le plus...
{15} Je me suis mis à pleurer quand je me suis informé sur la Résistance après nos cours d'Histoire... Je trouvais ça tellement beau... Comme quand les gens manifestent leur passion pour défendre quelque chose (je ne donnerai pas d'exemple, par peur de mauvaise interprétation...).
{16} Je déteste quand un parent demande à son fils s'il a une petite copine, ou à sa fille si elle a un petit copain... Vaudrait mieux demander si on a quelqu'un dans notre vie, ça réduirait un peu le taux de gens dans le placard déjà...
{17} Quelqu'un m'a tué un jour en me disant, sous prétexte d'un raisonnement soi-disant complexe et psychologique, que j'étais homophobe et raciste! Je me suis dit qu'il valait mieux rire de ces cas-là, on n'y peut rien s'ils n'ont aucune capacité de réflexion et qu'ils se donnent des airs...
{18} J'adore l'argumentation en français, et, sans vouloir me vanter, d'après ma prof de français de l'époque, j'avais un niveau de bac en dissertation en 3°... Je me fais peur à moi-même quelques fois...
{19} On arrive sur la fin là non? J'ai parfois des remarques dignes d'un manchot en pleine puberté...
{20} J'aime mes amis plus que tout, et je ne pourrais pas me passer de skype et de mon portable pour leur parler... Bien que j'habite à 50 km de chez eux... T~T
{21} Je suis un rebelle, et j'aime inventer des smileys : T~T / T^T / ^°^ / ¨^¨ / >:3 / §°§ / µ°µ /...
Voilivoilu! J'ai parlé de choses un peu graves dans ce tag, et de choses trèèèèès personnelles, mais je m'en fous, c'est ce qui m'a pesé sur le cœur et fait déprimer pendant toutes les vacances, ça me fait du bien de l'écrire...
Complete late 12c - early 13c Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Warmington Northamptonshire restored 1850 and 1876 by Benjamin Ferry and Sir G.G.Scott;
In his November 1504 will, Richard Fazakerley who owned part of the manor (acquired in 1504 by George Kirkham www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/07bG2m ) gave "to the high altar of the church of Warmington 4s 7d, and also the sum of 6s 8d for to sing a dirge for the wealth of my soul, and I also bequethe to the said church 6s 8d for dirges to be sung for my father and mother".
He made his will "being of Perfect mind though weak and ill in body, and about to go a journey see my relations" (I don't think he got far) and " I desire that my body shall be buried in Christian manner where it please Almighty God I shall depart this life, and for my sepulture and breaking of the ground in the church I will and bequethe 6s 8d",

River Don completes her journey through the highland hills eventually meeting the North Sea at this point , its a sight to enjoy .
My home is 5 minutes away from this magnificent site , I feel privileged to have access to this corner of the highlands .
Donmouth Local Nature Reserve is a beach site in the historic Old Aberdeen part of the City where the River Don meets the sea.
A great place to see seals and a range of interesting birds. The beach area has changed over time as the river has changed its course. There are lots of interesting plants in the dunes and beach area. Bird hide is an excellent shelter from which to watch the wildlife. The paths run across King Street to the Brig 'o Balgownie., the original bridge in to the City from the North, then down the other side of the river to the sea.
The site was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 1992
Paths are good although wheelchair access to the beach would be difficult as the boardwalk can get covered with sand.
There is plenty of free car parking on the Beach Esplanade and at the car park in Donmouth Road. There are cycle racks on Beach Esplanade
Bridge Of Don has five spans of dressed granite, and rounded cutwaters that carry up to road level to form pedestrian refuges. The spans are 75 feet (23 m), with a rise of 25 feet (7.6 m).
It was widened in 1958-59, from 24 feet (7.3 m), to 66 feet (20 m) by the construction of a new concrete bridge adjacent to the old one.
It now carries four lanes of the A956 road, and is the last bridge on the River Don before it meets the sea. The bridge is just downstream from a substantial island in the river. Around the area of the bridge is the Donmouth Local Nature Reserve, designated as a LNR in 1992.
Near to the bridge are a number of World War II era coastal defences, including a pill box.
Mudflats
Mudflats are formed when fine particles carried downstream by the river are deposited as it slows down before entering the sea, and to a lesser extent by fine particles washed in by the tide. The sand spit at the mouth of the Don provides shelter from the wind and waves allowing this material to build up. The mud flats are a very rich and fertile environment. Despite their rather barren appearance they support a surprisingly diverse invertebrate fauna which includes; worms, molluscs and crustacea. These invertebrates are vitally important to wildfowl and wading birds within the estuary.
Salt marsh
Along the upper shore of the south bank saltmarsh has developed. This habitat would once have been much more extensive prior to the tipping of domestic and other refuse in the area and the formation in 1727 of an artificial embankment to prevent flooding of the river into the Links. This habitat is now reduced to a narrow strip of vegetation along the river margins upstream from the Powis Burn.
The species composition of the salt marsh varies according to the salinity of the water i.e. the proximity to the sea. Close to the Powis Burn this habitat is dominated by reed sweet-grass (Glyceria maxima) with reed canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea), sea club-rush (Scirpus maritimus), spike-rush (Eleocharis palustris), hemlock water-dropwort (Oenanthe crocata) and common scurvygrass (Chochlearia officinalis).
Further inland reed sweet-grass continues to dominate but hemlock water-dropwort is more abundant with meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) and valarian (Valariana officinalis),
Sand dunes
Sand dunes are found in the more exposed parts of the estuary at the river mouth. Again, this habitat was once much more extensive in this locality with dune grasslands stretching from Aberdeen Beach inland as far as King Street, southwards from the estuary of the Dee, northwards to the Sands of Forvie and beyond. Many of the dunes formed part of Seaton Tip, and following tipping the area was grassed over. Other areas have been formally landscaped to form golf courses or planted with native trees in 2010 to create a new woodland area.
Some remnants of the natural dune flora can be seen in the 'roughs' on the Kings Links golf course and near the mouth of the river.
Above the high water mark, fore dunes with thick clumps of the pioneer grass species including sea lyme grass (Elymus arenarius) and marram grass (Ammophila arenaria) occur. Few other species are able to cope with the shifting sand. The largest area of these young dunes is to the north and west of the headland. Further inland where the dunes are sheltered from the actions of the wind and waves, and soils are more developed, more stable dunes are present supporting a more diverse grassland habitat.
Strand line plants which are able to tolerate occasional coverage by sea water include sea rocket (Cakile maritima), frosted orache (Atriplex laciniata), sea sandwort (Honkenya peploides) and knotgrass (Polygonum aviculare). Bur-reed (Sparganium sp.) has been recorded; presumably washed down by the river.
Marram grass (Ammophila arenaria) and sea lyme grass (Elymus arenarius) dominate the fore dunes. The latter species is not native to this area but appeared in 1802. It is thought to have been unintentionally introduced into the area by fishing boats. For a number of years it remained uncommon but from 1870 onwards it spread rapidly along the coastline (Marren, 1982).
In the more stable dunes red fescue (Festuca rubra), sand sedge (Carex arenaria), yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor), wild pansy (Viola tricolour), harebell (Campanula rotundifolia), bird's-foot-trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and lesser meadow-rue (Thalictrum minus) are abundant. Small amounts of kidney vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), valerian (Valeriana officinalis) and spring vetch (Vicia lathyroides) are present.
Scattered willows (Salix sp.) and sycamore (Acer pseudoplantanus) have seeded into this area. Gorse (Ulex europaeus) scrub has colonised the dunes in some areas and appears to be spreading.
Scrub
This habitat is almost entirely artificial with only the gorse scrub on the inner dunes being a semi-natural habitat. Alder and willow were planted along the south bank of the river in about 1970 and these shrubs are now generally well established. Further shrub planting on the south bank was carried out in 1990.
Willow (Salix sp.) and alder (Alnus glutinosa) were planted in the 1970's along the south bank of the River Don eastwards of the Bridge of Don. The trees to the west of this strip are doing considerably better than those to the east. More recent planting was carried out in 1990 with hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) elder (Sambucus nigra), goat willow (Salix caprea) and alder.
Underneath the scrub neutral grassland is present with cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata), false oat-grass (Arrhenatherum elatius), cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris), sweet cicely (Myrrhis odorata), hedge woundwort (Stachys sylvatica) and hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium).
Grassland
Much of the grassland within the reserve is formed on imported soil and is intensively managed. This includes grassland on the north and south sides of the Esplanade. Daffodils are present in the grassland on the north side of the road. On the north bank to the east of the Bridge of Don is rank grassland on a steep south-facing slope. This is unmanaged and contains some patches of scrub.
Rough grassland is present on the headland. This area has been modified by tipping, with rubble to the east and with grass cuttings to the west. The grassland contains a mixture of neutral grassland, dune grassland, ruderal, and introduced garden species. This area attracts flocks of seed eating birds in late summer and autumn.
Improved grassland is present on the headland and along the south bank of the estuary downstream from the bridge of Don. Much of this vegetation has developed on imported soil and contains a high proportion of ruderal species and garden escapes. On the headland, broadleaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius), nettle (Urtica dioica), coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara), spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare), cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris), hemlock (Conium maculatum) and hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) are abundant. Sweet cicely (Chaerophyllum bulbosum) is widespread and in late summer fills the air with the scent of aniseed.
To the south of the Esplanade the grassland is managed with an annual cut.. The grassland does flood to form pools. Early in the year cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis) is common, meadow foxtail (Alopecuris pratensis)is known to occur around the margins of these pools.
Woodland
Semi-mature woodland is present on the steep sided south bank of the river upstream from the Bridge of Don. Most of this woodland has been planted in the mid 1930's though some older oak and elm trees are present. These may be relicts of former woodland cover. The woodland in the reserve is part of a strip of woodland along the River Don corridor which continues upstream from the Brig 'o' Balgownie.
Woodland is present on the south bank upstream from the Bridge of Don.
Much of the woodland consists of even aged stands with willow (Salix sp.), sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), beech (Fagus sylvatica) and alder (AInus glutinosa). At the top of the slope mature oak (Quercus sp.) and elm (Ulmus glabra) are present. The ground flora contains tufted hair-grass (Deschampsia caespitosa), red campion (Silene dioica), ramsons (Allium ursinum) and lady fern (Athyrium felix-femina) .In a few areas dense shading is caused by the trees and in these areas the ground flora is poor.
On the north bank scattered trees are present, mainly willow and sycamore with some scrub.
Some of the work completed during it's last upgrade in 1963 is apparent. The double walls help to stabilize the solid rock ceiling. During the project, the tunnel clearance was increased three feet.
Completed in 1956, Beck Chapel is located adjacent to the Indiana Memorial Union on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington. Thousands of people, myself included, have been married in this chapel.
