Work continues on the 28 Million $ land reclamation project of the Onehunga foreshore along Orpheus Drive.
~The construction of 6.8ha of new park land;
~The construction of a pedestrian and cycle bridge;
~The creation of three new sandy beaches;
~The creation of five gravel/shell pocket beaches;
~The construction of a boat ramp;
~The construction of a pedestrian walkway and cycleway; and
~The construction of amenities including: a toilet, park furniture and the upgrade of Orpheus Drive carpark.
Many of us are against this as residents in the area. Last we heard, a contract after completion of the project to oversee that the area is regularly kept tidy would be for 2 years...after that it is dependant on the council who currently tend very sporodically to the upkeep of Orpheus Reserve. Rubbish is left along the foreshore front and tagging on rocks etc. I can't see this changing. Also, taking the land out and upto the hillside now makes many homes even more vulnerable to burglaries. There is an excellent neighbourhood watch group in this area at least.
I will be regularly adding photos from the same vantage point as the project progresses.

To continue a tradition Ted and I started of traveling for New Year’s Eve (last year we drove to Toronto and Chicago), we decided to visit our favorite city in the world – and add a new one to our list, Dublin. First was London, where we spent four nights, including New Year’s Eve. Because we’ve both seen so much of the city, we just wandered the streets, took photos and enjoyed delicious food (including the best Thai food I’ve ever had). Check out more photos from London on my website and Ted's, too.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Day 95 of the Expedition, the team continues for the third day along the Suwannee River, an important natural corridor between the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge at its headwaters and Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge 242 miles downstream along the Gulf of Mexico. They make camp in a beach exposed by low water levels, adjacent to timberlands owned and managed by Rayonier in southern Georgia.

Here's a shot of the B&O canal towpath that wasn't all fenced up.
After getting home from Great Falls I planned lessons some more, and once I got all that settled, I went to Fairfax Station Gold's Gym. I was thinking about shaving off my beard and decided to go ahead and do that at the barber shot and have a haircut too. There's a barber a couple of doors down from the gym. I had them cut it down to number 2. A talkative Vietnamese lady was cutting my hair but I couldn't understand her with the clippers going. I asked her to stop after she was done with my hair so I could check how I looked with the beard and short hair. I decided to go ahead and shave it anyway. It can grow back if I want. My beard was getting "tired", lol.
The operation cost $18, plus I left a tip. The barbers heavily encouraged me to come back. I might.
At gym I tried to do my leg routine but I guess the BGT used up all my stamina. I could do everything, but not as manny reps as usual. My calves started to cramp and decided I needed to let everything rest. Came home listening to Johnny Dollar on the Big Broadcast.

Continuing Accountability
Kelly Greene
April 21 - May 17, 2022
Artlab Gallery
The Artlab Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition titled “Continuing Accountability” by current Indigenous Artist-In-Residence Kelly Greene. Presented in partnership with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives and the Department of Arts and Humanities, this exhibit brings together work completed by Greene over the course of her nearly thirty year artistic career.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
This exhibit is a continuation of my exhibit “Accountability” that was briefly on display at McIntosh Gallery for a week in March, 2020 before everything shut down. But “Accountability” has another meaning besides referring to the previous exhibit, as this word was and is the premise for both shows, since it encompasses the concepts of the artworks.
Some topics include alternative viewpoints of historic occurrences once viewed as celebratory by most, though now wondering when history books will be changed. And since recent revelations have been made of resulting conditions from enforced ownership, we may question how reparation can be made.
Yet despite it all, somehow Indigenous cultures, traditions, and languages are still alive. Although they’ve struggled to remain alive, the onus to pass knowledge from one generation to the next is imperative so nothing more will be lost.
Moreover, it is the responsibility all humans must now offer to care for our Earth, our Mother, who has endured much devastation especially during the past century after the industrial revolution and the rise of technological advancements. We are now in a position to make drastic changes to ensure that the future may somehow be free from the current conditions we’re experiencing, resulting from us making strides without heed of repercussions.
My hope is we’ll be able to outrun the machine we’ve created.
Kelly Greene is a multi-media artist whose work includes painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. She is of Mohawk-Oneida-Sicilian ancestry, a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, and a descendant of the Turtle Clan.
Greene has lived in London, Ontario since 1989 where she obtained a BFA from the University of Western Ontario. She began her visual art studies at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where she moved with her family when she was a child.
She has exhibited in Canada and the United States for over thirty years in solo and group exhibits, primarily at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario but also Banff, Alberta; Vancouver, B.C.; Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Toronto, and London, Ontario; Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Howes Cave, New York. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, and in 2012 and 2015 she was commissioned to complete two permanent outdoor installations at the Woodland Cultural Centre. She has been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council and was most recently awarded the first Indigenous Artist in Residence at Western University in 2021.
Her art focuses primarily on environmental and political topics, as well as revealing stereotypes that are still prevalent towards Indigenous cultures, using ironic humour when possible. Recognizing the impact colonization has had on our Earth and the First People who have always lived on the land now known as Canada, Greene specifically refers to the Haldimand Treaty granted to the people of Six Nations, as well as the Mohawk Institute Residential School, or “Mush Hole”, where her beautiful Grandma attended in the 1920’s. Another concern is Colony Collapse Disorder, or the current plight of bees vanishing due to pesticides and monoculture. The ever-alarming condition of our planet has inspired Greene to create works that represent our Mother Earth as human, appealing to our species’ egocentricity, hoping empathy will be instilled and respect given so future generations will continue to be revived and thrive.

Continuing the look back on my April 2006 trip to Shirakawa-gō up in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture in Japan. I believe that this is the gate to a Shinto Shrine, but there was so much snow that we couldn't go all the way up to it. You can read about this trip on my blog.

The mountain of Schiehallion looks magical and to some it is magical. The theories that point to, or arise from mount Schiehallion continue to form like the clouds that veil and reveal this mountain which has several false summits that deceive the climber of the slopes that they are approaching the one true summit. From biblical accounts to the pages of 2000AD Schiehallion has inspired authors and readers to conjure with scene and setting that some have located in Perth, Scotland. By some calculations Schiehallion is stated to be at the centre of Scotland. Schiehallion for some is ‘Mount Heredom’ and this is the mystic location of much labelled mythology, but also categorised as not yet proven. In Masonic mythology the First Grand Master is said to have held council here and so it is the source for the ensuing fraternity that has continued to this day. The magical rites of Masonry have inspired others through several Orders and Societies and the Heredom of those has links back to the philosopher’s mountain from Alchemy. Alchemy is the magic named after and supposedly from Egypt, or based on the perceived rites of the ancient culture. The conical shape of Schiehallion gives rise to ideas inspired through the notion of it resembling a pyramid. Some believe that the mountain is a hollow home to a network of mystical tunnels that await the perfected amongst us who are welcomed into the magic of the builders, the architects and the spiritual designer of this work of Sacred Geometry.
In the images presented here do chance to look out for wings, hills and vales all opening and closing over time to reveal the grand design. Think of the letters u and n when they are set down the same shape reversed and of how the shapes of V and N together make a continual connection. Envision the letters Vau and Nun if you wish and go on to see the nail and fish with the iconic images of the Hierophant and Death on hand to continue to unlock the potential? If you wish to ignore the last three sentences then the fourth asks that you look at the horizontal join in the images not as a horizon, but as the expression of light and time catching and releasing each other in what we can be see as the prospect of a plane through the workings of an illuminated hour glass.

The Schiehallion Experiment
“When the Reverend Nevil Maskelyne spent the summer of 1774 living high up on the sides of Schiehallion, a 3,400 foot mountain in Central Scotland, the astronomical observations he made there enabled him to disprove one of the ideas then current about the earth's interior.”
“Fortunately, however Perthshire afforded us a remarkable hill, nearly in the centre of Scotland, of sufficient height, tolerably detached from other hills, and considerably larger from east to west than from north to south, called by the people of the low country Maiden-Pap, but by the neighbouring inhabitants Schiehallion, which I have since been informed signifies in the Erse language Constant Storm; a name well adapted to the appearance which it so frequently exhibits to those who live near it, by the clouds and mists which usually crown its summit.”
1774 Rev Dr Nevil Maskelyne DD FRS FRSE
