Manzanar internment camp. I have photographed and posted this monument before, but I'm often compelled to revisit it.
On May 16, 1942, Matsunosuke Murakami, 62, became the first of 150 men, women, and children to die in camp. He and 14 others, most infants and older men without families, were laid to rest in the Manzanar cemetery. The cemetery was outside the barbed wire fence in an old peach orchard from Manzanar's farming era. In the shadow of majestic Mt. Williamson their somber funerals and memorials were attended by hundreds of mourners.
While some deceased were sent to hometown cemeteries, most were cremated. Their ashes were held in camp until their families left Manzanar. Six burials remain today.
Visiting the cemetery can be a personal pilgrimage: of reflection, worship, remembrance, or protest. Some people leave offerings: coins, personal mementos, paper cranes, water and sake, and religious items. These are tangible expressions of the ongoing, unspoken conversations about America’s past and its future.
For more than six decades, the large concrete monument in the Manzanar cemetery has memorialized those who died here. The monument’s Japanese Kanji characters read, “Soul Consoling Tower” on the front and “Erected by the Manzanar Japanese, August 1943” on the back.
My own TARDIS console room design with Nth Doctor and her two companions.
Built for New Elementary's parts festival. More on Cyclopic Bricks.
Sorry it's so smeary. Traffic was approaching quickly, and there was no shoulder to pull off on, so this was a quick phone snap while I might've still been rolling at a small fraction of 1 mph.
Since Max got a game console on his birthday, it has become his favorite toy! :-( He rebuilt his gaming setup with LEGO bricks - guess which console it is? ;-)
This is mostly me wanting to give GunnBuilding's TARDIS arch design a go, coupled with working up a proper powered time rotor from my previous test model.
Featuring a potential incarnation of the Doctor, full wheelchair access (really bugs me that this isn't something modern console rooms have ever had) and a few special guests lurking in the catacombs!
Here's a sneak peek of stuff I'm getting ready for brickworld. Luckily this is very small compared to some stuff I have in the works. Pictured are Clara, the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor Who and the Other Doctor, featured in the fiftieth anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.

"The first three days are designated for crying,
the most intense period of mourning.
No work can be done by the mourner.
Many people do not come to console the mourner.
During the first three days unless they are close
to the mourner or there is a need..."
This is taken with my BRILLIANT new Nikon D7000 which I've had for 2 weeks now.
I am amazed by it! It is really SUPER.
I love the way it feels and the way it handels itself in very low light!!!
We are going to be long and good friends!
I'm sorry for my 'absence' at the moment, but there is mourning and consoling... I thank you all for your empathy.
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thanx, M, (*_*)

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
