This photo was taken at a moment of utter loneliness. I had checked out of my relationship several days earlier and although we were together, I had never felt more alone.
Decency is knowing when to exit. Staying does no one a favour.
Trollhattan's workers union, shot on an evening walk, from great distance. Actually, I've been on an island in the middle of the river, and this was out on the riverside.
Pushed the camera to the very limits of decency, just for the proof of the concept: ISO1600, 105mm, 1/20s, f/5.6, handheld!
Why do people with bad breath always want to share their secrets with me? Had I not the decency to not to hurt them, I would have said to them ‘By Jove, you have a jungle mouth’.
CAPE MAY – Author and historian Richard Striner will sign his book “Summoned to Glory: The Audacious Life of Abraham Lincoln,” Wednesday, July 28 at 10:30 a.m. at the Carriage House Museum Shop at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St. The event is sponsored by the Cape May MAC (Museums+Arts+Culture) Lessons of History Team.
“In the troubling times through which we have been living, there is much to be learned from the decency of Abraham Lincoln's leadership, the brilliance he showed in confronting racial injustice, and the way he faced up to our very worst divisions to create a better future for the nation,” Striner said. “Even at this late date in the study of our 16th president, the Lincoln story is full of surprises.”
Striner taught history for over 30 years at Washington College, in Chestertown, Md. He is author of more than a dozen books, an acclaimed Lincoln scholar, and his books and articles have covered political history, presidential history, literature, economics, film, architecture and historic preservation. His most recent book, “Summoned to Glory: The Audacious Life of Abraham Lincoln” (Rowman & Littlefield, 2020), will be available for purchase at the Carriage House Museum Shop. Admission is free and open to the public for this book signing.

Raul Castro has offered to release some Cuban political prisoners in exchange for the release of Cuban agents held in US jails. The Cuban agents have been convicted of spying and plotting assassinations in the US. This offer has been directed at President elect Obama.
Clearly this is not a decent offer. The people held in the Cuban jails are just brave honorable people campaigning for ordinary freedoms that are standard in decent societies. The writers, journalists and democrats incarcerated in Cuban jails absolutely deserve to be free. The fact that they are in jail is just totally obscene. They utterly completely deserve to be free already...........they have committed no crime!
They deserve freedom so much that maybe Obama should take up the sordid offer. Even though It really is sordid to equate those who use the freedoms available in the US to plot the murder of others ...... with the actions of people campaigning for open democracy and the right to free speech. There can be no moral equivalence.
I have sometimes been amazed and impressed that Israel will release hundreds of prisoners to get back even the body of one Israeli solider. In my view making concessions to drag your enemy do what decency demands with no price makes the actions of your enemy look even more obscene. Maybe Obama should act in the same way. The freedom of even a single democrat or a single writer is worth the cost of releasing these disgusting murder plotters.
The newly elected Obama should and will tower above the sordid Castro brothers and their 50 years of clutching to power through their vile police state. In my view Obama should take this obscene offer just to win the freedom of people who should so clearly be free already and have never even been arrested in the first place......... and what's more....... Obama in my view should drop all restrictions on trade and movement. It's only the Castro's that have benefitted from Cuba's isolation it has allowed them to get on with oppressing the people of Cuba in private.

Though one of the buildings houses the local MacDonalds of Lugano, they had the decency not to spoil the style of the facade.
A golden morning after a long period of frost, as if spring won't be too long now.
The Library of Congress has a flickr account*, and it's one which I keep in my contacts list. Noticed today they had posted a front page from the New York Tribune, one from a little over a century ago. Apparently it was the paper's Thanksgiving Day edition of 1909. The headline is not exactly one that stands out and sums up an era. Still, though, it caught my attention -- perhaps because of its tone of understatement ("a few drawbacks") and something about the way it can be considered applicable not just to the winter of 1909-10, but now as well.
The other connection is, it seems like it does suggest a similar point to that which the President used in concluding his State of the Union address the other evening, when he said:
"These words and these stories tell us something about the spirit of the people who sent us here. They tell us that even in the most trying times, amid the most difficult circumstances, there is a generosity, a resilience, a decency, and a determination that perseveres; a willingness to take responsibility for our future and for posterity.
"Their resolve must be our inspiration. Their concerns must be our cause. And we must show them and all our people that we are equal to the task before us.
"And if we do – if we come together and lift this nation from the depths of this crisis; if we put our people back to work and restart the engine of our prosperity; if we confront without fear the challenges of our time and summon that enduring spirit of an America that does not quit, then someday years from now our children can tell their children that this was the time when we performed, in the words that are carved into this very chamber, 'something worthy to be remembered.'"
Sometimes, you've got to work at being optimistic, but it's better than giving in to the alternatives.

Catching up on some back shots from the beginning of the year
On a walk around the Addington Cemetery with a wonderful Flickr friend. February 13, 2016 Christchurch New Zealand.
There is so much damaged in the cemetery because of the earthquake we have had. It is such a pity as I don' think it will ever be fully repaired.
The Addington Cemetery was established in 1858 when the Scottish Presbyterians of St Andrew’s Church purchased land for a cemetery in Selwyn Street. Although not the first cemetery in Christchurch, Addington was in fact the first “public” cemetery, “being open to all persons of any religious community” and allowing the performance of any religious service “not contrary to public decency”.
The first burial took place on the 10th of November 1858. The cemetery has several persons of note buried within its grounds including activist Kate Sheppard, Christchurch Mayor Tommy Taylor and members of the pioneer family, the Deans.

Wagtale played another gig last night, this time with a hint of sophistication and decency as we performed under lamp light and with daffodils strewn across the set. I only played one song on my soprano however, as Sir Richard Riley (the saxophonist the band used to have till he went abroad) was back and stole all of the songs from me. He was darn good though!
This year's show brought students from both Lloydminster & Vermilion campuses together to show off their style, budgeting and presentation skills. Students had a $33.33 budget each to go out into the community and purchase an outfit and appropriate accessories for a Business Awards Banquet.
They were expected to practice their budgeting skills as they shopped for their outfits. Contestants had to show a good taste in fashion and decency. Finally, contestants were tested on their presentation and interpersonal skills as they walked up and down the runway and answered questions from our ‘celebrity’ judges.
The main idea here is to challenge the notion that students have to spend a lot of money to look good for work. Most students struggle with money and this show is a fun way of capturing budgeting, fashion and presentation skills.

On Leicester 76, the stairs were ‘reversed’, blocking the driver’s vision of traffic over his left shoulder. One of the steps was made with holes, providing the driver with a better view. To prevent the conductor from using this feature to view ladies ankles, a serious offence, a ‘decency flap’ was provided to cover the holes when not in use.
Djelibeybi's been replacing the beams in the bathroom and creating a new floor for the special floor panel for the shower. It freaks me out watching him working over the drop revealed by his having to remove the underside floorboards. He hasn't fallen through yet. Hoping he doesn't!
On the window you can see a rough mapping out of how we're going to reconstruct that wall

This bittersweet, comic road story affirms the possibilities of kindheartedness and decency even in the face of a world dominated by malice and hypocrisy.
A beggar on the main bridge in Budapest, Hungary. A few minutes later an American tourist walked past her and accidentally kicked over her change cup but didn't have the decency to apologise.
We still into the casino to be told by the receptionist that they weren't open. They blatantly were! They could have at least had the decency to tell us they didn't want us in there.
I was sat with Val eating our pre-booked breakfast after a very early start to go and see the Datchet Morris Men at the historic site of Runnymede.
I’d parked my camera safely on the edge of the table we were sitting at. Eventually I noticed that the early morning light in the Runnymede café was rather good. This gentleman was sat about three or four metres away with some of his friends (minding his own business, unlike me!) Instinctively I picked up my camera and took his picture.
I only wish I’d had the decency to approach him and mention that I’d taken these two photos of him. They were taken quickly and I put my camera down again. (Sometimes Val gets a bit anxious when I do this, and I can understand why, but if she’s uncomfortable with it I have to live with that!).
I have slightly cropped the two photos to try and get the balance right… and also to get rid of a small bit of the photo on the left that was a distraction.
Again, as is my wont, I’ve also done monochrome versions too.
I can’t add this either of these pictures to my 100 Strangers Project, which is a pity really. I could cheat and not play by the rules of the group, but I’d prefer to stick to them as it would always be on my conscience that I’d broken them!

I could be richer than you
Or poor

Or just my face in the mirror
But My decency , manners and knowledge is not something you can buy

this little bird was being slightly rude because he wouldn't fly away and let me take my picture. at least he had the decency to stand in the center of my shot. i wish he was in the middle on the circle but i guess that'd be asking for too much
A Beer Check both impromptu and illegal was staged in this Redwood fairy circle while a prayer meeting transpired just across the street. Have TIMMY!! and Hugh Heifer no decency whatsoever?!?
News.com.au ran a story about Banksy today. News.com.au didn't even have the decency to check all the artwork was actually by Banksy, let alone credit the photos to their respective photographers.
If this is your photo, you should write to News.com.au and complain.

Buck Henry and my dad field questions about the S.I.N.A. hoax during a press conference (1962). They posed as moral maniacs wanting to clothe all naked animals for the sake of decency.
West Point Club — Main “campus” of The United States Army Corps of Cadets at West Point, New York.
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring and I could be in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse and I could still find the time to stand still, raise my left-handed Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring up into the air, make a fist and yell out “Shazam!” By using his “Spidey” senses, my Aggie Ring can point me in the direction of a bar where I can get a bourbon.
While I was on West Point this last weekend for a football game, I violated every sensible Texas A&M protocol by using my Texas Aggie Ring to find a location to enjoy an adult beverage. “Have you no decency, Sir?” asked my Aggie Ring. “If any of the West Point Grads see me, they’re going to get jealous of not having an Aggie Ring.”
It was really nice inside the West Point Club. There were a couple of bars and the staff was really nice. I think that’s because many, if not most of the staff grew up in the shadow of West Point, or at least grew up around the military.
I knew I wasn’t supposed to be in there, but occasionally, I’d “knock” Aggie Ring on the table just like he was a West Point Ring and things went well. Basil Hayden’s was the best I could find. :-)
“On, Brave Old Army Team!” is what Aggie Ring always yells out at West Point.
