A little rain cleans the streets, and heaven knows, they need cleaning. You can probably tell which corner of SF I work by the repeat pictures I take.

Spent the day in a hotel conference room yesterday, this is a picture from the lobby. Mel Brookes filmed High Anxiety here, which in turn was a parody on Hitchcock's Vertigo, Birds and some other films. Hard to capture with my cell phone, but the inside is somewhat like an inverted pyramid with the floors directly above me extending further out as they got higher, each with a clear view directly down over empty space. Definitely vertigo inducing.

Nos crimes contre l’Humanité…
Comment peut il y avoir un dieu lorsqu’il a détourné les yeux de ces millions de miséreux humiliés, tués, bafoués pour avoir seulement existés ? C’est aux hommes de cœur, aux Justes, aux Sages, à ceux qu’ainsi l’on nomme dans de biens lointains paysages qu’il faut ici bas rendre hommage.
Malgré le peu, voire le pas, de religion cultivé, avoué sans pardon, mon âme se déchire et pleure lorsque je pense à leurs malheurs. Ces êtres humains bafoués jusque dans leur seule dignité je les vois alignés, rangés, comme de vulgaires paquets, des tonnes de viandes à brûler sans un remord et sans pitié.
Des images en noir et rouge défilent en mon regard hagard, toutes ces mères sacrifiées, tout ces enfants déchiquetés, ces humains simplement, gazés au nom de « nobles » idéaux. Encore aujourd’hui, pas fini, on assassine sans vergogne, on tue, on meurt et on massacre pour des icônes de métal qui grogne de bonheur létal des sacrifices de ces fléaux.
C’est un violon qui me l’a dit, c’est lui qui sanglote en mon lit lorsque sans raison aux poèmes la haine fait place la peine. Tous autant que nous sommes nous pleurnichons sur nos si bas maux alors qu’il y a un demi siècle et quelques années de monnaie des gens de peu, des gens de bien, des tous les jours, des trois fois rien montèrent comme du bétail dans des wagons pour le foirail.
Itzhak m’a redit aujourd’hui ; « Repense à Schindler et n’oublie jamais que c’est avec les mots, les notes, les images et du cœur que l’on évitera au monde de parjurer nos crimes contre l’Humanité… »
[Christine Lebrasseur] – 05/07/2006

Nuestros crímenes contra la Humanidad...
¿Cómo puede haber un dios que ha desviado la mirada a millones de seres miserables y humillados, matados, y ridiculizados sólo por haber existido? A los hombres de corazón, a los Justos, los Sabios; a esos cuyos nombres nos llegan desde paisajes alejados, es a quienes homenajeamos.
A pesar de haber practicado poco la religión, reconozco que sin perdón, mi corazón se rasga y grita cuando pienso en sus desgracias. A estos seres humanos que pusieron en ridículo su dignidad los veo alineados, arreglados como vulgares paquetes, toneladas de carne que se quemarán sin remordimiento ni compasión.
Las imágenes en rojo y negro desfilan ante mi mirada despavorida; todas esas madres sacrificadas, esos hijos despedazados, esos seres humanos simplemente, gaseados en nombre de “nobles” ideales. Aún hoy, esto no ha terminado Se asesina sin vergüenza, se mata, se muere y se masacra para símbolos de metal que protestan por la felicidad letal de los sacrificios de esta plaga.
Me lo dijo un violín, él es quien llora en mi cama cuando sin razón en los poemas el odio deja sitio al dolor. Nosotros lloriqueamos sobre nuestros tan bajos males mientras que hay un medio siglo y algunos años de moneda de la gente de a pie, de la gente de bien, de la gente de todos los días, de las "tres veces nada" subieron en vagones como el ganado va a la feria.
Itzhak me repitió hoy; “Recuerda a Schindler y nunca olvides que con las palabras, las notas, las imágenes y el corazón, evitaremos que el mundo vuelva a que uno evitará en el mundo perjurar nuestros crímenes contra Humanidad…”
Homenaje a Itzhak Perlman, Oskar Schindler y a los millones soldados, deportados o simples ciudadanos de todos países muertos durante la segunda Guerra Mundial...

Our crimes against Humanity...
How can there be a god when he diverted the eyes of these million humiliated paupers, killed for having only existed ? It is to the men of heart, to "les Justes", "les Sages", those which thus we name in so far landscapes that we should here returned homage.
In spite of the little, even the nothing of religion cultivated, acknowledged without forgiveness, my heart tears and cries when I think of their misfortunes. These human beings ridiculed until in
their only own dignity I see them aligned, arranged, like vulgar packages, tons of meats to be burned without pity.
Images in black and red ravel in my losted glance , all these sacrificed mothers, all these shredded children, these human, simply, gazed in the name of "noble" ideals. Still today, not finished , one assassinates without shame, one kills, one dies and one massacres for metal icons which scream of lethal happiness of the sacrifices of these plagues.
It is a violin which said it to me, it is it which cry in my bed when without reason for poems hatred makes place the sorrow. All of us, we cry on our so low evils whereas a half century plus a few years of currency, people of little, people of good, the "everydays", the "three times nothing" went up like cattle in coaches for the market place.
Itzhak repeated me today; "Reconsiders in Schindler and never forgets that it is with the words, notes, images and the heart which one will avoid in the world to perjurer our crimes against Humanity..."
Tribute to Itzhak Perlman, Oskar Schindler and to soldiers, deportees, millions of ordinary citizen of all countries died during the second world war...
Camped out for an hour or so, looking for the albino jackrabbit once more. It turned up. It has two buddies which would have been much easier to photograph, I wonder does it sense that it contrasts more with its surroundings, it's so much more nervous, last to step forward, first to bolt.
Anyway, likely to be my last effort this summer. I don't have time to come back for quite a while. Something a bit magical about seeing it, I can see why so many myths and superstitions surround white offspring of any species, sadly so much being negative and hostile, because of the alleged "demon" eyes. The good news is that it seems to be accepted by the other rabbits in the group.
Look at the camera instead. A Red-winged Blackbird keeps watch over their nesting area, these birds nest in the reeds by the side of a lake, and the males keep watch for hawks from various vantage points along the shore, taking shifts. They're very cooperative, equally spaced out about 20 feet from each other, keeping watch right down the side of the lake.

Wandering around west Main on Christmas day. The Old Western Saloon was open. Prince Charles had a pint here once.
Baby Kat tried her best at blending in with the surroundings, but as you can see, it didn't work too well. Not unless cats also come in green color. She's gone now, but her memory lives on through the pictures I've taken of her.

James looks out from behind Seljalandsfoss, a huge waterfall that has a trail going behind it. Again on the south coast, one of our cloudier days. He has a ghost image reflected on the water.

Rainy Season in the Tropics, 1866

Today is day 262 of Project 365
Shy exploring one of the Crooked River tributaries yesterday. This is weather, he was made for. Still offline, be back later this week.
the Week is the spiral galaxy NGC 2566, which sits 76 million light-years away in the constellation Puppis. A prominent bar of stars stretches across the centre of this galaxy, and spiral arms emerge from each end of the bar. Because NGC 2566 appears tilted from our perspective, its disc takes on an almond shape, giving the galaxy the appearance of a cosmic eye.
As NGC 2566 gazes at us, astronomers gaze right back, using Hubble to survey the galaxy’s star clusters and star-forming regions. The Hubble data are especially valuable for studying stars that are just a few million years old; these stars are bright at the ultraviolet and visible wavelengths to which Hubble is sensitive. Using these data, researchers will measure the ages of NGC 2566’s stars, helping to piece together the timeline of the galaxy’s star formation and the exchange of gas between star-forming clouds and stars themselves.
Several other astronomical observatories have examined NGC 2566, including the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. The Webb data complement this Hubble image, adding a view of NGC 2566’s warm, glowing dust to Hubble’s stellar portrait. At the long-wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum, NGC 2566 has also been observed by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). ALMA is a network of 66 radio telescopes that work together as one to capture detailed images of the clouds of gas in which stars form. Together, Hubble, Webb and ALMA provide an overview of the formation, lives and deaths of stars in galaxies across the Universe.
[Image Description: An oval-shaped spiral galaxy. Its core is a compact, glowing blue spot. A bright bar of light, lined with dark reddish dust, extends horizontally to the edge of the disc. A spiral arm emerges from each end of the bar and follows the edge of the disc, lined with blue and red glowing patches of stars, to the opposite end and a little off the galaxy. Blue stars are scattered between us and the galaxy.]

[A set of 5 photos of a Tudor style home] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work.
Built in 1935. the Harold C. Foreman House, situated on the Pasquotank River in Elizabeth City (Pasquotank County), North Carolina, is a fine a fine example of the Tudor Revival style house in architecture. The most prominent feature is the garage with a steeply pitched roof, a front wing of the house; it is not a separate building but is an integral part of the home, perhaps indicating the social significance of the automobile. The house is asymmetrical, 1 1/2 stories tall with a main cross gable with a combination of windows--many of the dormers in pairs; a pair of Tudor diamond windows is on the garage, facing the street. Three large chimneys accent the roofline. Throughout is the use of skintled brick, that is bricks projected or recessed beyond the wall surface. It appears the skintling on this house consists of projecting bricks in an irregular placement. [ www.bricksalvage.com/blog/skintled-brick--a-style-from-th... ] The entrance, not especially visible, is small and covered with the characteristic steeply pitched roof. At the time of the nomination form, the roof had hexagonal shingles on the roof. That doesn't exist in these photos.
The house was designed by nationally known architect Stratton Hammon (1904-1997) of Louisville, Kentucky. It was erected by contractor William S. Chesson, Jr. for Harold C. Foreman, a lumberman who apparently preferred brick as the building material of his home. According to Zillow, the building has 2,444 square feet on a 3/4-acre lot; it has three bedrooms and 3 baths. It's a contributing structure in the Riverside Historic District of Elizabeth City, The district was entered on the National Register of Historic Places March 11, 1994 with reference ID 94000165. A pdf file of the nomination form is found at files.nc.gov/ncdcr/nr/PK0832.pdf

I took this shot at the hypocenter of the nuclear blast in Hiroshima, which is the surface location directly below the nuclear explosion.
On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, and detonated approximately 600m directly above this exact spot, immediately killing at least 70,000 and destroying 70% of the city's buildings. In short, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, anybody standing within 3/4 kilometer of where I was standing ceased to exist instantaneously. Of course the casualty numbers expanded dramatically over the coming days, and indeed months.
Truth be told, I'm not a bleeding heart, and can understand those who rationalize the necessity of this event, as much as those who believe it is an inexcusable horror that should never have happened. It did happen though, and the consequences were real and undeniable, and still can be felt when you stand in a place such as this. If you have the means and opportunity to visit Hiroshima sometime in your life, do.
