Joy hands these stickers out to the miners and they usually stick them on their dinner bucket or hard hat. Some miners collect them. They are often displayed in photo albums.
The continuous state of drought in the West turned the Santa Fe River into a trickle. In 2004, downtown Santa Fe lost at least eight stately cottonwood trees along the river in front of the El Castillo. instead of turning the old trees into firewood, the city decided to have the trunks of the tree crafted into public art. Artist Don Kennell sculpted one of the tree trunks into a fish swimming upward through flowing water. Santero Jose Lucero carved the above angel and 6 others from the cottonwood trunks.

Sandys Row Synagogue
Unknown
Hidden gem at the very heart of London. Built originally as a Huguenot chapel in 1763, this extraordinary building has been in continuous use as a synagogue since 1860. Oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in London.
The Building's History
Sandys Row Synagogue is the oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in London, and the last remaining synagogue in Spitalfields. ‘Once the heart of the Jewish East End and the home of its renaissance’.
The main synagogue building is almost 250 years old and Grade II Iisted. In 1763 a French Huguenot community purchased an old chapel and its freehold on this site on a corner of Henry VIII’s artillery ground. L’Eglise d’Artillerie was dedicated in 1766 and remained open until 1786, when it merged with the London Walloon Church. For the next fifty years, the church was let to several Baptist congregations, becoming known as Salem Chapel and then Parliament Court Chapel.
In 1854, 50 poor Dutch Ashkenazi Jewish families founded a chevrah, a type of Friendly Society with a small synagogue attached known as the ‘Society for loving-kindness and truth’. The first of its kind! By 1867, it had grown to five hundred members when it acquired the leasehold of the French chapel, having found a champion in the architect, Nathan Joseph. The site was particularly suitable because it had a balcony and was on an East-West axis, albeit facing westwards. Joseph blocked up the original entrances, which are still visible, and formed a new one in Sandys Row, together with a new three-storey building for offices and accommodation.
The community’s independent streak, which perhaps goes a long way to explaining its longevity, was first evidenced in 1870, when the leading Sephardi rabbi, Haham Benjamin Artom of nearby Bevis Marks Synagogue, formally consecrated this Ashkenazi place of worship.
The Chief Rabbi at the time, Nathan Marcus Adler, had publicly opposed the establishment of any new synagogue by the poor East End Ashkenazi migrant community and refused to be associated with it. In November 1887, Sandys Row Synagogue was the largest of the East End congregations that founded the Federation of Synagogues. It left the Federation in 1899 and was refurbished for the 50th anniversary of the community after acquiring its freehold, becoming an Associate of the United Synagogue in 1922. In 1949 it returned to independent status.
Links with the Local Community
For many years the Synagogue acted as the secretariat of the Stepney and Whitechapel Street Traders’ Association, bringing together all the market traders from both Petticoat Lane and Whitechapel Markets.
Sandys Row Synagogue is committed to opening its doors, and sharing its stories and its unique, rich heritage with all sections of the community. Many groups arrange private visits. These include school groups and guided walking tours. In recent years we have hosted live music, community and heritage events. In addition we participate in Jewish Heritage Open Days and Open House London.
Sandys Row Synagogue holds a wealth of artefacts, many of which originate from its early beginnings. Thanks to recent donations and support, some of them, including a framed paper plaque commemorating the 50 founding families, have been preserved for future generations.

Continuous improvement doesn't mean beating yourself up every time you feel that you've messed up or under performed. Continuous improvement is to acknowledge the times you feel you could have done and been better, forgive yourself for your mistakes, see where you can do better next time, and feel at peace doing it. There's no point stressing over what you could have done- that's not what happened. You could have done an infinite amount of things differently, but you didn't. Embrace your decision and either love it, or know where to act differently in the future. 🙏🌎 . . . #selfimprovement #forgiveyourself #progression #goals #thankfulforthestruggle #vancouver #vancity #yaletown #love #instagood #me #smile #follow #cute #photooftheday #followme #girl #beautiful #happy #picoftheday #instadaily #swag #amazing #TFLers #igers #fun #instalike #bestoftheday #smile #instamood

I was doing a full set of tests on a DIY solution to continuous lighting, with a budget under 30 dollars. The sample bulbs were from Home Depot, made by Phillips, they are the Daylight brand CF bulbs. I posted 3 images from the process, and this was the third, and probably best balanced light sample.
The bulbs do produce nice white light, if you white balance for fluorescent, the image is decidedly blue. I used a custom white balance for these shots to keep the whites white, and the blacks nice and dark.
The bulbs work well, providing a nice even light, even bare. They work particularly well when bounced off or shot through an umbrella.
Two other major plus marks for the fact that a set of two is about 20 dollars, and they stay nice and cool, meaning less sweaty faces.
The downside is they are much lower in output than even the basic flashes I normally use, putting out the equivalent of a 100 watt bulb each. This means larger apertures and longer exposures, a tenth of a second rather than 1/60th. This means they'll be great for this kind of static portrait, or if you want to produce a single light source image of a model (or product) that does not move a lot. For small children, or capturing and freezing motion, strobes are still your best bet.
Hundreds picket in front of the White House June 14, 1953 for clemency for the Rosenbergs.
Picket lines in front of the White House were continuous in the months leading up to their execution.
The Rosenbergs and a third man, Morton Sobell, were tried together for passing classified information to the Soviet Union related to an atomic bomb.
Part of the prosecution strategy was to emphasize their ties to the Communist Party at a time when hysteria over communists in the U.S. was at an all time high during the Cold War and with U.S. troops battling in Korea against forces aided by both the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China.
The Rosenbergs were convicted, sentenced to death and then executed June 19, 1953 despite an international outcry for clemency. Sobell served 17 ½ years of a 30-year sentence.

Paphos is a coastal city located in the southwestern part of the Republic of Cyprus. Its rich history dates back thousands of years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In this 1000-word overview, we will explore the key historical periods and events that have shaped Paphos into the vibrant city it is today.
Paphos has a mythical origin linked to Greek mythology. According to legend, the city was founded by Agapenor, one of the heroes of the Trojan War, who was said to have established Paphos as his kingdom. The city's name is derived from "Paphia," an epithet of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, who was believed to have been born in the region.
The city flourished during the Hellenistic period, particularly under the Ptolemaic dynasty, which ruled over Cyprus from the 4th century BCE. Paphos became the capital of the island and a thriving center of culture and trade. The city was adorned with impressive buildings, including temples, theaters, and a grand agora.
During the Roman period, which began in 58 BCE with the incorporation of Cyprus into the Roman Republic, Paphos continued to thrive and gained even more prominence. The city became the administrative center of the island, attracting wealthy Romans who built luxurious villas in the area. One of the most famous attractions of this period is the Paphos Archaeological Park, which houses the remains of ancient Roman villas with exquisite mosaics.
In the 4th century CE, Cyprus and Paphos experienced a significant shift with the rise of Christianity. The Apostle Paul is said to have visited the city during his missionary journeys, converting the Roman governor, Sergius Paulus, to Christianity. This event marked the beginning of Paphos' association with the spread of Christianity and the establishment of several early Christian communities in the region.
During the Byzantine era, which followed the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Paphos remained an important religious center. Several early Christian churches and monasteries were built, and the city became the seat of a bishop. However, Paphos faced several challenges during this period, including raids by Arab pirates and conflicts between Byzantine factions vying for control of the island.
The 12th century saw the arrival of the Crusaders, who conquered Cyprus and established the Kingdom of Cyprus. Paphos became the capital once again, and the city experienced a revival under Frankish rule. The Crusaders built a fortress near the harbor to protect the city from pirate attacks, and Paphos became an important trading hub.
In the following centuries, Paphos came under the control of various powers, including the Venetians and the Ottomans. The city experienced a decline in prosperity, with many of its inhabitants leaving for other regions. The once-great city became a small fishing village, overshadowed by other centers on the island.
Cyprus came under British administration in 1878 and remained a British colony until 1960 when it gained independence. Paphos remained a relatively small town until the late 20th century when tourism started to develop on the island. The city's historical sites and beautiful coastline attracted visitors from around the world, leading to significant growth and economic development.
In recent years, Paphos has become a popular tourist destination, known for its archaeological sites, picturesque harbor, and vibrant cultural scene. In 2017, Paphos was designated as the European Capital of Culture, further enhancing its reputation and attracting even more visitors.
Today, Paphos continues to thrive as a cosmopolitan city that beautifully blends its rich history with modern amenities. Its archaeological treasures, including the Tomb of the Kings and the Paphos Archaeological Park, are UNESCO World Heritage sites, drawing history enthusiasts and tourists alike.
In conclusion, Paphos, Republic of Cyprus, is a city with a fascinating history that spans thousands of years. From its mythical origins and Hellenistic and Roman splendor to its association with early Christianity and its subsequent periods of decline and revival, Paphos has experienced a remarkable journey. Today, it stands as a testament to its past, attracting visitors who are captivated by its historical treasures and natural beauty.
It rained almost continuously from when I left the hotel before 8.30 a.m. till after 3.00 p.m, and heavily during the several hours after reaching Rancho Naturalista. Luckily I could see many hummingbirds (in particular) from the lodge balcony and take some photos too. This meant the rain was not as disruptive as it might have been.
This was the most colourful of several species seen regularly.

This is a photograph from the 38th Michael Manning Memorial "Dunshaughlin 10KM" Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 24th June 2017 at 19:30. This race is widely acknowledged within the Irish running community as one of the best races in Ireland and is Ireland's oldest continuously held 10KM race. This year, as in previous years, the race attracted runners from not just all of Leinster but from the four corners of Ireland. The work of the organising committee must be commended on making this event possible. The Dunshaughlin 10KM has earned it's place at the top of the pedestal of Irish running through the sheer hard work of Dunshaughlin AC over the years. Road race events do not survive on their own. There must be dedication, hard work and a development vision amongst the committee and the host club. Well done to all.
The route starts on the town bypass and proceeds eastwards into Dunshaughlin village itself. The race then takes a left turn and follows a northerly direction towards Ratoath. At approximately 5.7K the race turns off this road into a small downhill section. After another 400m the race takes a right turn and turns southerly to head back to Dunshaughlin. At this point the only two significant hills of the race are encountered. From here the race is a straight route right back to the finish in Dunshaughlin village.
The race carries on its own fine long tradition but also that of the many very well known and well attended Meath Athletic Club road races which are hosted in the county over the year.
The weather was reasonably good for running - it was a warm summer evening but breezy in places.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race tonight taken at the 1 mile mark and then at the 400M and 600M to go mark. The full set is available at:

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

Erta Ale is an impressive, continuously active volcano. It is located in the Afar Region, in northeastern Ethiopia. Erta Ale is a basaltic shield volcano. It resides within the Afar Depression. This is a desert area which spans the border of Eretria. It is an extremely low elevation volcano. In fact, the region immediately surrounding the volcano is entirely below sea level. Erta Ale is also the most active volcano in the country of Ethiopia. Surprisingly little is known about Erta Ale. The local terrain is incredibly inhospitable. Also, the local inhabitants are notorious for rarely allowing outsiders into the area.
Erta Ale Geology
Erta Ale stands approximately 2,011 ft (613 m) high. The activity is continuous, but variable. There is always at least one lava lake, sometimes two. These will occasionally flow out the south side of the volcano, to the terrain below. Erta Ale is best known for the longevity of its lava lake. This lava lake has been present and active since at least 1906! Lava lakes are exceedingly rare. Erta Ale is one of only six volcanos known to possess such formations. The geolgical marvel of the lava lake at Erta Ale is the longest continuous one on earth.
Erta Ale Activity
Erta Ale is centered over what is known as the East African Rift. This provides it with a continual flow of fresh lava. Aside from these generalities, little specific data is available. Though activity is continual, actual eruptions are rare. The last major eruption occurred on September 25, 2005. At that time, thousands were forced to flee the nearby area. Another, slightly smaller eruption occurred in August of 2007. Several hundred local residents were forced to flee, and two went missing, never to be found. #ourbreathingplanet

Overlooking the Delaware River, Historic New Castle is the oldest continuously occupied town in the Delaware Valley. And, thanks to preservation efforts, this vibrant, fully occupied community remains one of the most important Colonial/Federal villages in America – second only to Williamsburg, Virginia in the number and authenticity of its historic structures. The New Castle Court House Museum is part of the the First State National Historical Park.
New Castle, originally named Fort Casimir, was founded in 1651 by Peter Stuyvesant, who was sent to provide the Dutch with command of all river traffic. Because of its strategic location, ownership of the settlement was constantly changing. The flags of the Netherlands, Sweden and Great Britain have all flown over New Castle.
The three counties which make up the state of Delaware were added to William Penn’s lands in America. In 1682, Penn came ashore at New Castle and took possession, but these counties, which were well established, became dissatisfied with Penn’s rule. In 1704, when he granted them a separate legislature, New Castle became the colonial capitol of Delaware. The lively town also briefly served as the first state capital, and continued as the county seat until the 1880’s.
New Castle’s location made it an ideal transfer point for trips up and down the coast. As a result, New Castle was a thriving community throughout the 1700’s and early 1800’s. The courts and general assembly also attracted various judges, lawyers and government officials who built handsome houses, many of which still remain. The Great Fire of 1824, which started in the stables behind the Jefferson House, claimed many of the inns and warehouses located on The Strand. Among the buildings destroyed was the modest home of George Read, signer of the Declaration on Independence and the Constitution.
Unlike many historic communities, New Castle is a residential town where people live and work. Each house reflects the individuality of its past and present owners. Because New Castle has been named a National Landmark Historic Area, all renovations and restorations are carefully supervised.
This small, picturesque City allows vacationers, as well as business travelers, a refreshing respite from the pressures of daily life. Whether you are enjoying the beaches, the Brandywine Valley, or other treasures of Delaware, be sure to include New Castle in your itinerary.

Ingredients: Two Chinese light stands, two CFL continuous bulb holders, two 1" 1/4"/20 bolts, two wing nuts to fit, a little Devcon epoxy, a little krazy glue between a T-nut and the Vivitar 550FD (foreground - set on "full manual" - only setting), a shoe optical slave, a Nikon SB600 (in the back, on 1/64th manual) attached via an SC-28 cord to a Nikon D3000, f22 and 1/200th (forgot that I had it at 1600 iso). The T-nut is on the front side of the Vivitar. One of the CFL holders has the bolt epoxied to the top (90 degrees), and the other (the one in front) has it on the angled surface.
Gerald just got back from a week in San Francisco and he was telling us all about his trip. I had just received my fluorescent continuous lighting kit from Adorama. I bought a simple "starter" kit to play with. It included two 70 watt fluorescent (350 watt each equiv.) lamps with softboxes and stands.
I also purchased a couple of fluorescent 105 watt (500 watt equiv.) lamps. This photo was shot with one 105 watt lamp in a softbox -- single light source. I just sat there and shot while Gerald told his Mom all about his trip.
