German students are raising awareness about the need to invest in birth registration – one fingerprint at a time!
The unique initiative calls on people in Germany to lend their support to Plan's Count Every Child work by donating a fingerprint.
Since November, Plan Germany's Youth Advisory Panel and Plan Action Youth Group have been running activities to collect as many prints as possible. The final display will be handed over to the German government as a kind of petition to call for the realisation of universal birth registration within effective, comprehensive and rights based civil registration and vital statistics systems.

This is the entrance to a bar called The Counting House. So called because it was an old bank of Scotland building. It's next to George Square in St Vincent Street. In days gone by all the financial institutions were in this part of Glasgow.

...and we're back!
After about a year's break and giving up the previous iteration of Project 116.3, I'm giving it a "take two", with a shocking twist of a finale. Currently the plan is to shoot soley with the Canon EOS 5D mk II and the EF 24-105mm f/4 L lens for 6 months straight. Each week I give to you one of the many recent and relevant photos I've shot with this camera. This is in many reasons to show what all this lens and camera is capable and limited to. This iteration has me with a zoom lens, which is very flexible in its focal lengths on what it can do, and back in the day when this camera was "the camera to own" it was often paired with this lens in bundles...and for good reasons which I hope to explore.
I digress. Last year was a rough year personally when it came to motivation and oddly one of the last photos I took with this camera was a nest of baby finches around this time last year. I find it all too ironic that I get back in the saddle, and my first photo is a shot of a new nest again in our front porch made by what appears to be a Mourning Dove...but a dove for sure. As the mother went out for a snack I took my stepladder to see how the eggs where and if I could identify them, but it looks like the little ones hatched! The nest itself was made inside a hanging planter no bigger than a good sized coffee cup, and it amazes me that the mother can fit herself all the way in, barely visible only to occasionally pop her head out to make sure the area is safe. To ensure we don't upset the area we've had to cancel barbecue season...
...but with the way the world has been I think it's just one more thing that has to have a raincheck put on it. Still though with how 2020 has been a dumpster fire you gotta take time out to see the silver lining in these dark clouds over us and make sure we've counted our blessings.
Thanks all.
No links to my new site/store/or social links today... Maybe next week.

From Wikipedia:
"The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, whom the park was named after. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park (in the Catalan language spoken in Catalonia where Barcelona is located, the word for "Park" is "Parc", and the name of the place is "Parc Güell" in its origin language). The site was a rocky hill with little vegetation and few trees, called Montaña Pelada (Bare Mountain). It already included a large country house called Larrard House or Muntaner de Dalt House, and was next to a neighborhood of upper class houses called La Salud. The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güell's suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906.
It has since been converted into a municipal garden.Park Güell is skillfully designed and composed to bring the peace and calm that one would expect from a park. The buildings flanking the entrance, though very original and remarkable with fantastically shaped roofs with unusual pinnacles, fit in well with the use of the park as pleasure gardens and seem relatively inconspicuous in the landscape when one considers the flamboyance of other buildings designed by Gaudí.
The focal point of the park is the main terrace, surrounded by a long bench in the form of a sea serpent. To design the curvature of the bench surface Gaudí used the shape of buttocks left by a naked workman sitting in wet clay. The curves of the serpent bench form a number of enclaves, creating a more social atmosphere. Gaudí incorporated many motifs of Catalan nationalism, and elements from religious mysticism and ancient poetry, into the Park. The visitor was originally greeted by two life-size mechanical gazelles (a major euphemistic symbol of 'the young beloved' in the Hebrew strand of the medieval love poetry of the region), but these have since been lost during the turbulence of war.
Roadways around the park to service the intended houses were designed by Gaudí as structures jutting out from the steep hillside or running on viaducts, with separate footpaths in arcades formed under these structures. This minimized the intrusion of the roads, and Gaudí designed them using local stone in a way that integrates them closely into the landscape. His structures echo natural forms, with columns like tree trunks supporting branching vaulting under the roadway, and the curves of vaulting and alignment of sloping columns designed in a similar way to his Church of Colònia Güell so that the inverted catenary arch shapes form perfect compression structures.[2]
The large cross at the Park's high-point offers the most complete view of Barcelona and the bay. It is possible to view the main city in panorama, with the Sagrada Familia and the Montjuïc area visible at a distance.
