Last week was Police Week. During this week, there is a shooting competition between all the different agencies, including the air force security forces. I was lucky enough to get to go and photograph the shootout....thanks to my husband. Since I work for the security forces squadron now, I get to enjoy their activities. A lot of the guys out there were using their issued weapons. This particular fellow used his personal weapon and the grips caught my eye.
To round off 12th night the company head off to Crossbones Graveyard & Garden of Remembrance where the Green Man blesses the garden.

Crossbones Garden is on the site of a disused post-medieval burial ground on the corner of Union Street and Redcross Way in Southwark, south London. Up to 15,000 people are believed to have been buried there. Crossbones is thought to have been established originally as an unconsecrated graveyard for prostitutes who were known locally as "Winchester Geese" because they were licensed by the Bishop of Winchester to work within the Liberty of the Clink. By 1769 it had become a pauper's cemetery servicing St Saviour's parish. It was closed in 1853.
It's a shame this one has been destroyed. Probably one of the oldest stones in the state. Likely late 1600's

Crossbones Cemetery, Redcross Way, Southwark.
A cemetery for prostitutes licensed (pimped) by the Bishops of Winchester Palace in Southwark. When they died, after years of paying their dues to the church from their work, they were buried in this unconsecrated ground by the bishops. Later it became a burial ground for paupers, still unconscrated. It is believed that there are 15,000 people, men women and children buried here.

I took this picture while researching Financial Times articles found at www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2358ae66-ffb8-11dd-b3f8-000077b07658.html, www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9da6ea4c-ffb9-11dd-b3f8-000077b07658.html and www.ft.com/cms/s/0/0c99d484-0751-11de-9294-000077b07658.html

Edited Digitized Sky Survey 2 image (by way of the European Southern Observatory) of the field around NGC 2467/the Skull and Crossbones Nebula.
Original caption: This vivid picture of an active star forming region — NGC 2467, otherwise known as the Skull and Crossbones nebula — is as sinister as it is beautiful. This image of dust, gas and bright young stars, gravitationally bound into the form of a grinning skull, was captured with the FORS instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). Whilst ESO’s telescopes are usually used for the collection of science data, their immense resolving power makes them ideal for capturing images such as this — which are beautiful for their own sake. The image is a colour composite made from exposures from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2), and shows the region surrounding NGC 2467. The field of view is approximately 2.4 x 2.0 degrees.

My cool hat version 2.0. I had this same hat, but I lost it on the subway in Toronto over the holidays. I have now replaced it, just in time for my trip to Yellowknife.
