Yet another shot from one of the highlights of my 2008 Edinburgh Fringe, 'Children of the Khmer' at St George's West. This was part of The World Festival where I was made very welcome, essentially having official photographer status (allowing me to get some fabulous shots of the various shows).
My thanks are due (in the first instance) to Alex Hewitt from The Scotsman for helping me to get permission to photograph this show. However they are also due to Toby, John, Dickie, Dickon, Carol, Jerome and Master Ieng Sithul for making me so welcome.
I photographed this show three times in total and it was great to get that degree of access. My other pictures from this show are in my Children of the Khmer set.
Please consider supporting the work of Cambodian Living Arts (the charity who funded this show) in some way.
Since no shrine visit-counting-abacus is available at Hiyoshi Shrine, the stones on this latern have been used to count the number of times that someone has paid their respect. With each visit they have picked up and placed another stone on the lantern. It seems someone has visited this shrine ten times in a row.
Something to help you get to sleep!!!!!!!
Some of the many sheep that posed for me in Somerset, How can people say they are all the same & boring!
Originally, Zoë & I had tickets toward the middle of the floor to the far left. However, this lovely lady (whom, I think was there mainly for Rob Thomas) gave us her tickets on her way out which happened to be in the second row, dead center. So blessed to have been able to have such an amazing experience!

Any queen conch within one meter on either side of the five transects are counted. This information will yield the queen conch density at the site.
Kidding of course, even when we were there we didn't try to count the bison and that would be just the kind of thing we normally would do... Utah State Parks says the herd numbers between 550 - 700 animals. Take away a few for the ones off screen here and the ones we we saw elsewhere and that's ... a lot of bison. Made us wonder what the west must have looked like long ago before we got here when the herds numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
I wish I could have gotten the sound of the grunting better, that's one thing that really added to the experience of seeing them. A lark sparrow and a few meadowlarks made it into the audio before the plane flew over so that's something, but I wanna go back and keep trying until I get it all in!

June 23rd, 2013 - 44 Quiet Nights, Day 25 - Woke up near Causey Reservoir east of Ogden, Utah with the intention of revisiting one or both of the Cottonwood canyons but it was so cold last night we changed our minds and detoured to try for a campsite and a shower and a quick warmup on Antelope Island. Maybe we could add a few more bison to the trip...
Count Friedrich wears typical German armour of the mid-14th century: knee cops, thigh defences (note the rivets), mail chausses, a shortened surcoat, plate gauntlets, a coat-of-plates with chains connecting his arms and a bascinet with a camail and a loose-hanging nasal.
By counting each fruit that falls (called cocos in Peru for their resemblance to coconuts) and weighing the nuts inside, the scientists aim to measure whether logging near Brazil nut trees affects how much they produce. “The aim of this research is to inform the debate in a scientifically sound manner,” says senior CIFOR scientist Manuel Guariguata.

My newest crochet pattern. It was inspired by my sons, who are learning their numbers and counting. They love to take the cookies out of the jar one by one and tell me which number it is.

Every time I count this rapidly and impressionistically, I come up with the same SEVENTY THREE "amethysts" -- jewel-like little skylights in the sidewalk. If I were to count slowly and rationally, there are some others that might be included: those that show some purple, but not translucent or reflective jewel-like purple. I've noted one such on the photo; you can no doubt find others.
I'm interested to see how others count this ... whether I can get any support for 73.
This morning, there was a cluster of trains on the east end of Bensenville, which included numerous standard cabs.
From left to right:
CP SD30C-ECO #5032 switches the intermodal ramp.
CP GP20C-ECO #2237 and a CSX AC4400 on a grain train.
UP SD40N #1947 and a CP GEVO on G41.
CP SD60s #6248, #6247, #6245, an AC4400, and a GP38-2 on 281.
CP GP38AC #3019 (Pacman) and GP20C-ECO #2302 sitting off Mannheim.
That's nine standard cabs (ten if you count the SD60 buried in the yard).
Looking at pages of Peter Koch's edition of Joseph Brodsky's Watermark. Venice, 2008
I'm not positive I took this picture.* It may have been taken by Peter's wife Susan Filter. I found it among my photos of Venice, and I know I was sitting right there, but the size of the image suggests it might not have come from my camera. Still I thought it ought to be shared, so I gave it a polish and here it is! It was an amazing afternoon; the light from the water three stories below were dancing across the fresco behind the Count.
Brodsky was a guest in this palazzo while writing Watermark.
Here's Peter on the same trip. I definitely took that one!
*Postscript: I have now confirmed the original file definitely came from Susan's camera!
Arteth counts coins that have been hammered into the trunk of a fallen tree - she found five or six trees like this over the week. I've not seen this elsewhere.
Wikipedia's page on Wish Trees mention Penrith, which is near Keswick, so this could be a local tradition, but it's worth bearing in mind that Keswick gets a lot of foreign tourists - for all I know, this could have been done by people from Hungary, Japan or London.
Update: This page has examples in Yorkshire and Derbyshire, so it does seem to be a tradition in northern England.
Arteth's images are here in Coins In Trees
