The monument dedicated 'by the residents of Bundamba in honour of the brave men who enlisted in the A. I. F. during the Great War..' was unveiled on the 29th of November 1919 by the then Governor, Sir Hamilton J. Goold-Adams. It lists the names of those who served from the District in World War I (WWI), 84 in all. There were Bundamba men represented in all of the divisions of the Australian Army, some of whom had seen action at Gallipoli. At the time of the unveiling it was intended that the park be developed so as to serve as a model. The mason was Frank Williams of Ipswich. The memorial was originally 'enclosed by a neat iron fence' with wooden flagpoles at each corner, and had some simple plank seating surrounding it. These both appear to have been removed sometime in the 1970's, and the present brick gates may date from this time. The original wooden flagpoles have been replaced with metal. The park fence was once a timber picket fence.
Bundamba, Queensland:
Bundamba is a former coal mining area, 5km east of Ipswich. The Bundamba coal field included the Welsh settler village of Blackstone immediately south of present day Bundamba. Each is now a recognisable suburb within the Ipswich City local government area, and each had its own primary school.
Although known for its coal industry, there were pre-existing activities in the area. Earliest was Aboriginal stone quarrying on the Bundamba Creek, and it is thought that the name 'Bundamba' derives from an Aboriginal expression referring to the local stone deposit. On the shoreline of the Bremer River north of River Road there existed a flour mill, boiling down works, brickworks, and a wharf, begun by Joseph Fleming in 1852. Blackstone was apparently named after the Irish town of the same name.

Elgin Cathedral is a historic ruin in Elgin, Moray, north-east Scotland. The cathedral—dedicated to the Holy Trinity—was established in 1224 on land granted by King Alexander II outside the burgh of Elgin and close to the River Lossie. It replaced the cathedral at Spynie, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the north, that was served by a small chapter of eight clerics. The new and bigger cathedral was staffed with 18 canons in 1226 and then increased to 23 by 1242. After a damaging fire in 1270, a rebuilding programme greatly enlarged the building. It was unaffected by the Wars of Scottish Independence but again suffered extensive fire damage in 1390 following an attack by Robert III's brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, also known as the Wolf of Badenoch. In 1402 the cathedral precinct again suffered an incendiary attack by the followers of the Lord of the Isles. The number of clerics required to staff the cathedral continued to grow, as did the number of craftsmen needed to maintain the buildings and surrounds.
The cathedral went through periods of enlargement and renovation following the fires of 1270 and 1390 that included the doubling in length of the choir, the provision of outer aisles to the northern and southern walls of both the nave and choir. Today, these walls are at full height in places and at foundation level in others yet the overall cruciform shape is still discernible. A mostly intact octagonal chapter house dates from the major enlargement after the fire of 1270. The gable wall above the double door entrance that links the west towers is nearly complete and was rebuilt following the fire of 1390. It accommodates a large window opening that now only contains stub tracery work and fragments of a large rose window. Recessed and chest tombs in both transepts and in the south aisle of the choir contain effigies of bishops and knights, and large flat slabs in the now grass-covered floor of the cathedral mark the positions of early graves. The homes of the dignitaries and canons, or manses, stood in the chanonry and were destroyed by fire on three occasions: in 1270, 1390 and 1402. The two towers of the west front are mostly complete and were part of the first phase of construction. Only the precentor's manse is substantially intact; two others have been incorporated into private buildings. A protective wall of massive proportions surrounded the cathedral precinct, but only a small section has survived. The wall had four access gates, one of which—the Pans Port—still exists.
The number of canons had increased to 25 by the time of the Scottish Reformation in 1560, when the cathedral was abandoned and its services transferred to Elgin's parish church of St Giles. After the removal of the lead waterproofing of the roof in 1567, the cathedral fell steadily into decay. The building was still largely intact in 1615 but in the winter of 1637, a storm brought down the roof covering the eastern limb. In the spring of 1711, the central steeple above the crossing collapsed taking the walls of the nave with it. Ownership was transferred from the Church to the Crown in 1689 but that made no difference to the building's continuing deterioration. Only in the early years of the 19th Century did the Crown begin the conservation process—the stabilisation of the structure proceeded through until the end of the 20th Century with the large scale improvements to the two western towers.
I am a great animal lover. But can never seem to get a good shot of any animals.
I am always in awe of those of you that get good shots of animals.
In a garden in Oregon, these two storks were my kind of subject!
Made of bronze they "posed" while I could get out the camera, focus, compose and shoot.

Dedicated to inspire and educate visitors about the rich and varied cultural, economic, political and social history of the Dallas County Area, the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture serves as a symbol of Dallas heritage. Built in 1892, the beautifully restored Old Red Courthouse contains some of Dallas County’s most fascinating historical artifacts. There is a special exhibit gallery located on the first floor, while the second floor of Old Red is filled with exhibits, 41-touch screen computers, an educational learning center and four mini theatres.
The Old Red Museum is located at a crossroads of activity in downtown Dallas – adjacent to the JFK Memorial and Dealey Plaza, a National Historic Landmark District, across the street from a replica of Dallas founder John Neely Bryan’s cabin and just a block from The Sixth Floor Museum and the historic West End of Dallas.

My grandpa was buried on this day, 21 years ago. Ever since, thinking of him I felt pity for myself.... Never thought of how she is truly feeling about losing her dearest friend, her father. Children are so selfish....

The wonderful thing about landscape photography is that when you shoot a sunset, the colours and patterns of the sky changes rather quickly. In this shot, the sun was peeping through the clouds.
Check out the other HDR shots taken and posted earlier. The colours were different!

Virgina, by Tori Amos
Summer leaves are gone and the time has come
For the plans you made long ago
Hear the engines roar as we walked throught the doors
I just can't believe this dream is over
Virginia look up in the sky, don't it bring you sorrow
We know when ever you gonna fly, I will be there tomorrow
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
It's easy to release me when you're three thousand miles away
You no longer care, when I'm no longer there
And all the love we have will fade away, fade away
Virginia please hold on to me, don't leave it all behind
Is there something I can say, that will change your mind
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
So look around you now at this faceless crowd
You can walk right out and forget it
Virginia we got too much love to bring it to an end
And I know if I let you go, I'll never see you again
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Dedicated to my wife, Shelly
Right now my wife is spending a couple weeks in NYC visiting her daughter, attending a writers conference and is hard at work on her first novel. Her first chapbook of poetry was published last fall. Besides working with me at our small business she is a writer, educator and speaker. I miss you! Keep working on the book babe, when you sell it we are going to be rich!! :-)
This was taken in the fall of 2000. On my first day ever to NYC she took me to Brooklyn Heights for this majestic view of Lower Manhattan!! I will never forget!

Dedicated to Saint Peter, the abbey church of Champagne is not located, as one would think, in the bubbly-producing hills of northeastern France, but much further south, on the banks of River Rhône, between Lyon and Valence, in the northern part of the département of Ardèche, i.e., in the old province of Vivarais.
Stylistically, this large church, built right next to the busy and noisy thoroughfare that Highway 86 is today, is very homogeneous and was built around 1150, replacing an older, 11th century church of which two capitals have been re-used in the nave. Numerous sculpted fragments from the previous church were also gathered as demolition progressed and reinserted haphazardly in the new one. But built by whom exactly, and for what exact purpose? That is much more mysterious.
From the scant written evidence that has come to us, we can surmise that it was originally built by the Albon family of powerful local lords, probably for regular canons of one or the other obedience. In 1275, it has become a priory of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Chef. In 1172, the canons of the chapter of the Saint Maurice Cathedral in Vienne had given a number of churches to the abbey of Saint-Chef, but the charter doesn’t specify which ones. If we are right in thinking that the Champagne church was originally owned by canons, it is possible that those canons were the ones from the Vienne chapter, and if so, the Champagne church may have been among those turned over to the abbey in 1172. The deal would have been facilitated by the fact that, from 1119, the archbishop of Vienne was also the protector of the abbey of Saint-Chef. Furthermore, it has been noted (in particular in my Zodiaque collection reference book, Vivarais et Gévaudan romans, by Robert Saint-Jean) that the Champagne church offers many similarities with the abbey church of Saint-Chef, in a more accomplished version, as the former came half a century after the latter.
The link between Saint-Chef and Champagne, however, did not last. Because of deep and enduring management problems at Saint-Chef where the monks could not elect a new abbot, the archbishop of Vienne was first appointed as abbot ad perpetuitam by a papal Bull of John XXII in 1320. A second Bull, in 1328, took away from the abbey the Saint Peter Priory, under the pretext that its income was not sufficient to support the prior and his monks. The church then became a simple parish church. However, let’s not forget that, at the time, the Rhône River was the border between the kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire: the archbishop of Vienne had his seat on the left bank, on the Empire side, while the Saint Peter Priory was on the right bank, on the kingdom side; the archbishop may have wanted to be able to take refuge in France in the event things went sour on the Empire side... which would explain why the priory compound was indeed fortified at the same time!
Seriously damaged during the Wars of Religion in the 1560s, the church undertook important repairs during the early 1600s: it is then the the three cupolas on squinches roofing the nave were put in place in lieu of the previous Romanesque barrel vault. The church, much too big for such a small village, continued to degrade over the decades. By 1750, the upper floors of the tower-porch that framed the western entrance were in ruin, and one century later, what was left of that tower-porch was razed to allow for the enlargement of what was then the royal road number 86. This veritable act of vandalism prompted the authorities to protect the monument in 1854 by listing it as a Historic Landmark.
A systematic restoration took place between 1888 and 1894, during which (it is a rare enough occurrence to be duly noted and lauded!) all the add-ons erected after the end of the Romanesque period were eliminated. The original church was saved. In 1968, three regular Augustinian canons from a Swiss convent came and settled in Champagne, reviving the Saint Victor offshoot of the Augustinians which had been dead since the French Revolution. They proved extremely successful and in 1976, Pope Paul VI elevated the priory to abbey status. Today, the church is both canonical and parochial.
However, the very exceptional characteristic of this abbey is that, because the original monastery buildings had been destroyed after the French Revolution and replaced by ordinary village houses, the Augustinians had to build anew where there was space available, i.e., a couple hundred meters away from the church...! Thus, there is no proper enclosure, the canons live in the middle of the village, and walk across it to go attend to their duties. This is much too in sæculum for my taste, and not a proper way to practice the life of a so-called “regular” canon. I understand the appeal that the church may have had, but my opinion is that, owing to the present-day configuration of the village, it should have been deemed unsuitable. Likewise, the liturgy of this congregation does not truly meet with my approval, the same way “reality TV” doesn’t: a floor-heated church, cleverly designed lighting everywhere, a discreet and elaborate sound system... quite a bit too Hollywoodian for me. But obviously, just like reality TV, it does have its appeal.
As announced yesterday, this is a closeup view of one of the twin-arched openings into the side wall of the nave, seen from the tribune. These openings are located in front of the high windows and allow some light to pass into the upper nave. In the background, you can glimpse the same opening on the other side of the nave.
- I feel pathetic by this cold-blooded act of terrorism in Peshawar. How inhuman and senseless it is to kill young and innocent children just for the sake of REVENGE.
Well, in this photograph, I tried to portray the feelings, thoughts and situation of the children who must be trapped there.
May those kind souls Rest In Peace.
