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.

“Go and tell the world my story. Tell about my brother. Tell them about me: The Count of Tuscany…”
- From Dream Theater’s ‘The Count of Tuscany’
LUGNuts' founder Lino Martins has graciously given me permission to replicate his series of automotive illustrations based on various mixed alcoholic drinks.
The first in this series is a Lego -model replication of 'Count Chocula' - Cadillac Coupe DeVille.
In Lino's own words.
"My second installment of a holy trinity of cars is a ‘73 Cadillac DeVille customized as a show car. Brown is an excellent color for 70’s era cars so I figured Count Chocula would be best suited for this one and also fits into the role as “The Father”. A gasser style fuel tank is installed in the grille and massive exhaust pipes adorn the sides all the way to the rear tires. Large flashy chrome rims and a deep chocolate paint scheme with a subtle gold flake adds bling to this ride. A chopped roof and a lowered stance exaggerates the DeVille’s already elongated features. Tan leather adorns the interior while the hood boasts plenty of real estate for full Count Chocula graphics. What do you think? Stay tuned for the final installment soon."

The fellow in the purple fez is Count Smokula, a regular at the Doo Dah Parade. I had tried to snap a photo of him and the genie (magician? wizard? fortune teller?) but they were surrounded by photographers and videographers for much of the parade. I finally managed to capture this shot with my long lens but I never got them full-frame. I would have loved to get a full view of those shoes!
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.
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.

The highly detailed effigy of count Gottfried IV von Arnsberg (+1371), made around or shortly after his death by the 'Master of the St. Peter Portal Apostle'.
The armour depicted shows the typical German style of the years between 1360 and 1380: a diverse combination of much mail and plate (or cuir bouilli), an already globose breast of the coat of plates, a jupon, and retention chains. By 1380 full plate for the limbs would become generally more adopted, a trend that started much earlier in England and France.
The count wears (Westphalian/North Western German) armour of the 1360s:
- a rounded bascinet with a camail attached by vervelles on a very decorative band
- a jupon with edges ending in trefoils, probably worn over a coat of plates, depicting the Arnsberg arms: the eagle being 'canting arms', a pun on the Middle Low German word for eagle. 'Arend' is still the present-day Dutch word; 'Adler' being the High German word.
- three retention chains for the sword, dagger and great helm are attached to the breast
- a hauberk with three-quarter sleeves and a skirt ending in four points (front, sides, behind)
- a decorative hip belt; the bronze dagger and sword are more recent replacements
- splinted vambraces (similar to www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/8602415024/in/album-721... ), worn under the mail sleeves, and early hourglass gauntlets
- rerebraces, attached by points, which are apparently typical for Western Germany/Westphalia; compare to those seen in the almost contemporary Osnabrücker Altar: www.flickr.com/photos/roelipilami/51117835883/in/album-72...
- plate (?) cuisses made up of two parts, the upper part ending in a toothed edge
- poleyns with early wings worn over those cuisses and mail cuisses as well (?) (the edge is visible), which are worn over mail chausses with narrow indented greaves (similar to the rerebraces)
- narrow sabatons on the feet and rowel spurs
Note the crested tournament helm (with an eagle and hearts) on the sides of the tomb.
one of the major public areas in Paris. Here they were preparing for the Bastille Day celebrations
A fountain in the Place de la Concorde, created by Jacques Ignace Hittorff in 1836. Hittorfff was entrusted with redesigning the Place de la Concorde in 1833.
This fountain to the north is the Fontaine des Fleuves.
The Fountain of the Rivers, to the north, closer to the Madeleine church, has large figures supporting the vasque who represent the Rhône River and the Rhine River. The other major figures represent the main harvests of France; Wheat and Grapes, Flowers and Fruit.
The figures above the vasque who support the cap represent the spirits of River Navigation, Agriculture and Industry.
The Hotel Crillon is behind the fountain.
The Hôtel de Crillon in Paris is one of the oldest luxury hotels in the world. It is located at the foot of the Champs-Élysées on the north side of Place de la Concorde.
The five-star Crillon, with 103 guest rooms and 44 suites, occupies one of two identical stone buildings, divided by the rue Royale, constructed in 1758 under the auspices of architect Louis François Trouard as a result of a commission from King Louis XV. Initially, both structures were built as government offices, and the eastern one continues to this day as Headquarters of the Royale, the French Navy.
In 1788, François-Félix-Dorothee Berton des Balbes, the Count of Crillon, acquired the hotel, only to have it confiscated shortly thereafter by the government of the French Revolution. It was eventually returned to the Count of Crillon's family who ran it until 1907, at which time it underwent a two-year-long refurbishing by the Société du Louvre under the supervision of architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. Today, through the Concorde Hotels & Resorts, the Crillon is still part of the Société du Louvre whose shares are listed on the Paris Stock Exchange and is controlled by the Taittinger family holding company.
Taken on the coach, so some minor reflections in the window.
"A Long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last..."
A Long December: Counting Crows, Recovering the Satellites
For a lot of reasons I feel that I have to believe that 2010 will be better than 2009. This song really inspired me when it first came out because this was just one of those songs where the music blended with the lyrics to perfectly portray a cold winter with change around the corner.
I remember leaving a party one night in college, and I had smoked far too many cigarettes for having bronchitis. I felt so sick so I drove myself to my parent's house in San Antonio. I remember lying in the bath tub with just a little bit of water- desperately trying to catch a full breath. I finally got out and got dressed and drove myself to the Emergency Room at Brooke Army Medical Center. When I got out of the car it was blistering cold (yes, even Texas gets really cold spells), and I remember looking up at the street light as this song was playing. I knew what it was like to wrapped in the emotions of the singer. It wasn't the first time I felt that kind of a connection, but it was one of the strongest times.
When I hear this song I always imagine walking through the snow on New Year's morning, after a hard December which I just happened to have. I imagine the hope being summoned for the new year. Maybe Adam had something different in mind when he wrote this- but this is what I took away from it.
Lyrics:
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as You were leaving
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things You could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should
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!
