CATARSIS" POLICE IN HELICOPTER Bodysuit - LEGACY

These butterflies are tiny and beautiful and really don't deserve the moniker 'common'. I think they look stunning with their wings up and their wings down. This particular specimen was in great condition. I know it looks like I've artifically blurred the background but that's a consequence of the focus stack which creates an abrupt end to the depth of field.

So I observed their head butting sessions from my side of the wall

Bushbuck is a type of African antelope and can be found in the Sub-Saharan and Eastern parts of Africa. Bushbuck is a solitary and shy creature. This antelope preferred habitat is dense bush and is always found close to permanent water courses.They are not very fast runner, but it is a good swimmer and it is able to jump ±6 feet in the air.

Unlike other antelopes, bushbuck does not tolerate birds that remove insects from its fur. As a consequence, bushbucks are filled with ticks. Besides diseases transmitted by insects, bushbuck is prone to the viral disease called rinderpest.

Size: Shoulder Height ±700mm. Maximum mass ±54 Kg.

I failed to lock down the ball head enough to prevent movement when i pushed the shutter button. Hence the camera tilted just enough to capture this abstract of the forest. Much better technique than my usual efforts at photography, huh? Maybe i am on to something here :)

Auf dem gegenüberliegenden Ufer erhebt sich eine Kirche, die wir zunächst überhaupt nicht einordnen konnten wegen ihres etwas eigenartigen Turms. Wie wir später herausfinden sollten, handelt es sich um die gotische Schjlosskirche, die sich als eine der größtten Überraschungen unseres Besuchs erweisen sollte. Davor steht das Schlossbergmuseum, das stadtgesichtliche Museum Chemnitzs, eingerichtet in einem ehemaligen Kostergebäude.

 

On the opposite bank stands a church that we initially couldn't quite place because of its somewhat unusual tower. As we later discovered, it is the Gothic Palace Church, which turned out to be one of the biggest surprises of our visit. In front of it stands the Schlossberg Museum, Chemnitz's city museum, housed in a former monastery building.

 

Das bis dahin dünn besiedelte Mittelgebirgsvorland wurde seit dem 12. Jahrhundert auf Betreiben der deutschen Könige und Kaiser planmäßig erschlossen und ausgebaut. Als Stützpunkt gründete Kaiser Lothar von Süpplingenburg 1136 ein Kloster, das dem Benediktinerorden unterstellt wurde. Von diesem Kloster ging wenige Jahre später die Initiative aus, einen Fernhandelsmarkt zu gründen. Damit waren wichtige Impulse für die Anlage der späteren Stadt gegeben. Aus bescheidenen Anfängen entwickelte sich das Benediktinerkloster St. Marien zu einem der bedeutendsten Klöster in Sachsen. Es wurde ein Zentrum für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Umfangreiche Einkünfte aus den umliegenden Dörfern sowie dem erzgebirgischen Bergbau bildeten die Grundlage für opulente Baumaßnahmen. Im späten 13. Jahrhundert entstand unter Beteiligung der Meißner Dombauhütte der Ostflügel des Kreuzgangs mit seiner prächtigen Bauplastik. Bereits 1483 wurde der heute als Schloßteich bezeichnete große Fischteich unterhalb des Klosters angelegt. Den Höhepunkt der wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Entwicklung erlebte die Anlage im späten 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert: Unter den Äbten Heinrich von Schleinitz und Hilarius von Rehburg kam es zu einer groß angelegten Reihe von Um- und Neubauten, die sich mit den bedeutendsten Schloss- und Kirchenbauten im Land messen konnten. Die heutige Schloßkirche, vollendet 1527, gehört zu den großen spätgotischen Hallenkirchen Sachsens. Für die Ausstattung gewann man führende Künstler wie die Wittenberger Cranach-Werkstatt oder die Bildhauer Hans Witten und Franz Maidburg. Ein europaweit einzigartiges Kunstwerk ist die so genannte „Geißelsäule“. Als eine Folge der Reformation hörte das klösterliche Leben 1541 auf. Den riesigen Besitz kassierte der Landesherr und wandelte ihn in ein herzogliches Amt um. Die Gebäude standen eine Zeit lang leer, bevor sie der Dresdner Hof als fürstliche Sommerresidenz entdeckte und repräsentativ ausbauen ließ. Der Renaissancesaal im heutigen Schloßbergmuseum mit seiner prächtigen Gestaltung lässt noch etwas vom höfischen Glanz ahnen. Allerdings ließ das Interesse schnell wieder nach. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg kam es nach 1632 zu schweren Plünderungen und Verwüstungen. Seitdem wurde die weitläufige Anlage nur noch teilweise benutzt und verfiel allmählich. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert riss man dann große Teile ab, sodass nur noch die Kirche und zwei Flügel der anschließenden Klausurgebäude übrigblieben. Einen Teil der Kirche nutzte man als Salzlager. Die verwahrloste Kirche wurde 1866 – 1897 gründlich restauriert und erhielt einen 87 Meter hohen neugotischen Turmhelm. Bis zu seiner Beschädigung im Jahre 1945 und dem anschließenden Rückbau auf die jetzige Höhe von 48 Metern war er ein markantes Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Die übrigen Gebäude wurden 1929 – 1931 zum Museum für Stadtgeschichte – das jetzige Schloßbergmuseum – ausgebaut. In einer groß angelegten Rekonstruktionsphase wurden zwischen 1985 und 1994 der fehlende West- und Nordflügel modern ergänzt. Bis heute sind hier die wertvollen Sammlungen untergebracht, die der Verein für Chemnitzer Geschichte seit 1872 zusammengetragen hatte und die seitdem systematisch ergänzt wurden. Schloßkirche und Schloßbergmuseum bilden heute als historische und bauliche Einheit nicht nur eines der ältesten, sondern auch eines der wertvollsten Baudenkmäler der Stadt Chemnitz.

This is where the history of the city of Chemnitz began a good eight centuries ago. The previously sparsely populated foothills of the low mountain range were systematically developed and expanded from the 12th century onwards at the instigation of German kings and emperors. As a base, Emperor Lothar von Süpplingenburg founded a monastery in 1136, which was placed under the Benedictine order. A few years later, this monastery took the initiative to establish a long-distance trade market. This provided important impetus for the establishment of the later town. From humble beginnings, the Benedictine monastery of St Mary's developed into one of the most important monasteries in Saxony. It became a centre for art, culture and science. Extensive income from the neighbouring villages and the mining industry in the Ore Mountains formed the basis for opulent building projects. In the late 13th century, the east wing of the cloister with its magnificent architectural sculpture was built with the involvement of the Meissen cathedral building workshop. The large fish pond, now known as the castle pond, was created below the monastery as early as 1483. The complex experienced the peak of its economic and cultural development in the late 15th and early 16th centuries: Under the abbots Heinrich von Schleinitz and Hilarius von Rehburg, there was a large-scale series of remodelling and new buildings that could compete with the most important castle and church buildings in the country. Today's castle church, completed in 1527, is one of the great late Gothic hall churches in Saxony. Leading artists such as the Wittenberg Cranach workshop and the sculptors Hans Witten and Franz Maidburg were brought in to decorate it. The so-called "Flagellation Column" is a unique work of art in Europe. As a consequence of the Reformation, monastic life came to an end in 1541. The huge estate, which also included Rabenstein Castle, was confiscated by the sovereign and converted into a ducal office. The buildings stood empty for a while before the Dresden court discovered them as a princely summer residence and had them converted into a prestigious residence. The Renaissance hall in today's Schloßbergmuseum with its magnificent design still gives an idea of the courtly splendour. However, interest quickly waned again. After 1632, the Thirty Years' War saw heavy looting and devastation. Since then, the extensive grounds have only been partially used and gradually fell into disrepair. In the 18th and 19th centuries, large parts were demolished, leaving only the church and two wings of the adjoining cloister buildings. Part of the church was used as a salt store. The neglected church was thoroughly restored between 1866 and 1897 and was given an 87 metre high neo-Gothic spire. It was a striking landmark of the town until it was damaged in 1945 and subsequently reduced to its current height of 48 metres. The remaining buildings were converted into the Museum of City History - now the Schloßbergmuseum - between 1929 and 1931. In a large-scale reconstruction phase between 1985 and 1994, the missing west and north wings were added in a modern style. To this day, the museum houses the valuable collections that the Chemnitz History Society has been amassing since 1872 and which have been systematically added to since then. Today, the castle church and the Schloßbergmuseum form a historical and structural unit that is not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most valuable monuments in the city of Chemnitz.

“I write our names on the page.

What of it, if the paper will be burned?

I write our names in the sand.

What of it, if the shore will be washed by waves?

I write our names on trees that will be cut

and benches that will be painted,

but what of it?

I will keep on writing our names

because in this world of ephemera,

You and I are the only constant.”

That was a windless day

This image is a bit of a mystery.

 

In the 1977-79 period I generally used Kodak transparency film however I did not like the cardboard mounts and changed them to plastic mounts using spare mounts recovered from my none kodak rejects. I still have a couple of boxes of spare empty Agfa mounts and a couple of days ago noticed that one of the mounts actually has a transparency in it.

 

This is that transparency and it is 45129 on an early evening (angle the sun) Nottingham – London St Pancras express at Lenton South Junction. As to the date well after comparing photographs of 45129 it is in the period 1977 -79. During that period I did shoot a couple of rolls of Agfacolour but having checked my records none taken at Lenton South, so I can not date this any more accurately.

 

So why did this transparency not make the collection, well the composition is poor, When mounted in the mount the back of the train is cut off and the train is generally to far to the left of the overall composition. Now forty odd years ago I must have remounted this transparency in the Agfa mount to see if it “improved" the composition failures and decided it did not, hence it failed to make the collection. Luckily it escaped the waste paper bin and by scanning it without the mount and a bit of cropping on the right hand side we have an acceptable image.

 

Locomotive History

45129 was originally D111 and was built at Crewe works, entering traffic in September 1961. It was initially allocated to Derby MPD and would spend almost its entire career associated with the Midland Main Line and Toton MPD. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and D111 was one of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its Stone Vapour steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works in June 1974 as 45129. The end of the 1986/87 winter timetable in May 1987 marked the demise of class 45/1 scheduled passenger diagrams on the Midland Main Line and a consequence of this was the remaining twenty-one class 45/1 locomotives were reduced to eighteen by the withdrawal of 45129/37/42. In comparisons to a lot of the Peaks withdrawn at this time 45129 did not linger long and was broken up by Vic Berry, Leicester in December 1988.

  

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.

The unique animal world of the Himalayas has now found its way into an area of 60,000 m². Climbers will not only encounter well-known mountain dwellers such as red pandas, snow leopards and bearded vultures, but also lesser-known species such as takin, goral, Pallas'scat and satyr tragopan. After a construction period of just over a year, the 60-metre-high mountain of rubble was transformed into an Asian mountain landscape with numerous new vantage points. Around 100 individuals from 22 different animal species - most of them endangered in the wild - have found their new home in Berlin's high mountains. (Source: Tierpark Berlin)

Built under the Roman Republic, the House of the Vestals and Temple were forbidden to any person, except the King and priestesses.

It was rebuilt after the fire under Nero in 64 AD

 

Six priestesses, the Vestals, were in charge of the cult of Vesta, the goddess of earth, fire and hearth. They should maintain the sacred fire - on an altar in the cella of the temple - which should never be extinguished, because it symbolized the continuity of the city of Rome.

A breach of copyright has legal consequences

Why do people do things without considering the consequences, not just for themselves but for the people that care about them?

 

Why is it that people push others to actions that inevitabely lead to pain and suffering - but not for the asshole that prompted it?

 

Why is it that good people, of which there are far too little left, are taken away?

 

Why is it that there are days like today when I wonder why we brought our children into this shitty world?

 

If there is a God then he has a fucked up sense of humour.

 

For what it's worth

Ces arcs de 2,5 tonnes ont été acquis par la ville de Liège en 2006.

Comme déposés sur l’eau… Les 4 arcs en acier corten de l’artiste français Bernar Venet avaient été engloutis par les flots lors des inondations de juillet 2021.

Ces arcs de 2,5 tonnes chacun ont été récupérés et restaurés par des spécialistes en chaudronnerie.

Et un an après leur récupération dans la Meuse, ces sculptures ont été replacées.

Sur cette photo on peur voir les conséquences des dernières crues de février mars 2024.

 

These 2.5 ton arches were acquired by the city of Liège in 2006.

As if placed on the water... The 4 corten steel arches by French artist Bernar Venet were swallowed up by the waves during the floods of July 2021.

These arches, each weighing 2.5 tonnes, were recovered and restored by boilermaking specialists.

And a year after their recovery in the Meuse, these sculptures were replaced.

In this photo we can see the consequences of the last floods of February March 2024.

Ne me quitte pas.

One of several police dogs deployed on Friday 24 March 2023, as hundreds gathered in central London to protest the rolling out of a red carpet at Number 10 Downing Street for Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

 

يوم الجمعة 24 مارس 2023 ، تجمع المئات في وسط لندن للاحتجاج على طرح السجادة الحمراء في رقم 10 داونينج ستريت لرئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو

 

ביום שישי 24 במרץ 2023, מאות התאספו במרכז לונדון במחאה על פריצת השטיח האדום ברחוב דאונינג מספר 10 עבור ראש ממשלת ישראל, בנימין נתניהו

 

Israeli liberals, angry at Netanyahu's attempt to crush the independence of the judiciary and protect himself from a corruption indictment, joined Palestinian and other activists infuriated by 56 years of Apartheid, since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967.

 

Netanyahu is still on trial for corruption in three separate cases. In 2019 he had already been officially indicted for breach of trust, accepting bribes and fraud, and, as a consequence, he lost the support of his coalition partners in parliament. However, last November, he returned to power in coalition with the ultra-orthodox and ultra nationalist factions, forming what almost all commentators agree is the most right wing government Israel has witnessed since its independence in 1948.

 

Israel has been rocked by massive protests and strikes ever since Netanyahu's justice minister, Yariv Levin, revealed the government's plan to overhaul the country's justice system in January. Activists pointed out that its intent was clear. To weaken judicial independence and to shield Netanyahu from corruption charges.

 

Resistance to the government's proposals escalated even further two days after this photograph was taken when Netanyahu returned to Israel and fired his defence minister, Yoav Gallant. Within an hour tens of thousands had taken to the streets in central Jerusalem and also surrounded Netanyahu's home.

 

Returning to Friday morning in London when this photo was taken, protesters waiting peacefully on the pavement opposite 10 Downing Street were doubtless surprised at the huge number of police, including dogs, deployed on Whitehall. Later, and despite heavy rain, around a hundred protesters made their way to the Savoy Hotel where Netanyahu was rumoured to be staying, where the police presence was far more low key.

 

Many activists carried placards such as "democracy and occupation cannot coexist" and "Free Palestine = Free Israel." They pointed out that Palestinians live in what both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have concluded is an Apartheid state, many without any access to clean water or electricity, many fearing the demolition of their homes and others the detention for lengthy periods of their relatives and children for protesting the continuing occupation. Meanwhile, Britain's ongoing military and diplomatic support for Israel make us complicit in the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.

A nice consequence of this, though, is the inclusion of Narnain's ridge-line shadow (which I was standing on at the time) being projected onto the lower half of the image.

 

Here's a shameless reminder of a personal favourite Cobbler photo I took some years ago:
