Today it's my turn to pick a group for FGR, so I chose Spot the Difference - with the added bonus that these pics can also go into the Diptychs group.
Can you spot the differences? Have a look at the large version and then put notes on the ones you can see.
I may do another version later today if I get more time.
A boy raised in the depression to learn the difference between want and need.
A young man who led many to battle in the Pacific
A man who loved his country and worked to strengthen its politics
A man who was who loved my mother and raised eight children
A man who held on to life, long after others would have rested and lived to love 18 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
My Father, Thomas Edwin Adams, June 28, 1920 – May 13, 2010
I love you dad!
Thomas Edwin Adams, Jr. passed away peacefully at his daughter''s home in Centreville, Virginia on May 13, 2010 with his family at his bedside.
Son to Thomas Edwin Adams, Sr. and Agnes Kennedy Adams, Tom Adams was born on June 28, 1920 in Washington, D.C. A proud native Virginian, he graduated at age 15 from Fairfax High School class of 1936. He was an excellent athlete and an accomplished tenor. Married in 1942, he was the devoted and loving husband of 44 years to Mary Ellen (Estes) Adams, who passed on Oct.19, 1987.
Tom Adams graduated from American University in Washington, D.C., with a B.A. in History and Government in 1946. He attended Washington & Lee University Law School in Lexington, VA. A veteran of WWII, Tom Adams received the Bronze Star for Bravery and the Purple Heart while serving in the Pacific campaign with the 17th Infantry Regiment as a platoon leader and company commander. During the Korean conflict he served in the 2nd Battalion of the 15th Infantry, 3rd Division as a rifle platoon leader. Before retiring from the U.S. Army in 1967, Lt. Col. Adams served as legal officer for the 15th Infantry Regiment in Fort Benning, GA, as Boards and Investigations Officer at Ft. Myer in Arlington, VA and as military historian at the Pentagon.
Tom Adams pursued a second career on Capitol Hill as the Legislative and Special Assistant to U.S. Congressman Joel T. Broyhill (10th Congressional District) of Virginia and for U.S. Congressman W.C. (Bill) Wampler Sr. (9th Congressional District). He retired from politics in 1984 following his service on the staff of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee. Tom Adams worked to pass legislation to create and fund the Washington Metro rail system and to fund the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He was the principal staff architect of the agriculture title of the 1977 Food and Agriculture Act. Tom Adams'' retirement after 42 years of Federal service appeared in the Feb. 1, 1984 U.S. Congressional Record.
Tom and Mary Adams retired to Highland County, Virginia to start another chapter of their lives enjoying grandchildren and great grandchildren, their children, and many family and friends of the surrounding mountains and Shenandoah Valley.
Tom Adams will be remembered as a Virginian, an American, a devote husband and father, and as a man that instilled character and comfort in those he touched.
Tom Adams is survived by his eight children: Ellen Price, Susan Stanhope, Thomas Edwin, Laura Lewis, Elizabeth Kennedy, Samuel Glenn, Joseph Estes, and James Benjamin, 18 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, and siblings Robert L. Adams, Betty A. Baker, and Joan A. Vipperman. Tom Adams was also pre-deceased by loving brothers Bert and John, and sister Anne Gresham.

BACKSTORY: We didn't erase the whiteboard between Clint's birthday party and Carolyn's birthday party, so this is a combination of parties.
I have updated my Art-Craft model after some thought, making it a little more difficult to get to fine art from a very craft operation like a factory robot operation (still programmed by a highly skilled human, though), I also added a 'juvenile' area, the place where we all start from when we are born.
To make it slightly less like a graph and more like the image in my mind, I have added some graphics - the organisation of Craft, the unmapped forest of Art, and the natural ascent into skill (by balloon).
We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.
With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.
We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.
We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.
We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.
Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw.

The contract to erect this bridge was fought for and lost by John Monash, the loss producing a number of angry letters from Monash on what he regarded as the inferior and costly construction opted for by the two shires concerned, rather than his moderately priced and `absolutely permanent' reinforced concrete model{ Melbourne University Archives Monier collection #589}. He cited the success of his design (Doggett's Bridge, demolished) for the Romsey Shire which had withstood the disastrous 1906 floods. A minor controversy arose when the Romsey Shire's consulting engineer, Herbert Crowther BA MCE, called for tenders to erect two large road bridges, one at Daly's crossing and another at Donovan's crossing, in October 1906. New prices were required when Crowther extended the length of each bridge but the decision on whose price was chosen was left to a conference between the Romsey and Springfield Shires in November 1906. Some councillors favoured timber, although its supply in the area had been somewhat reduced, but most favoured steel or concrete. Choosing between the Reinforced Concrete & Monier Pipe Construction Co. P/L concrete bridges and the Ballarat firm, Jenkins Brothers steel versions, the councillors ignored the 400 pounds price difference in favour of concrete and went for steel. Monash wrote letters to C Catani at the Public Works Department, the secretary to the minister and the newspaper, noting that the chosen design was `flimsy' and `unsafe' but to no avail. The bridge was portrayed in early postcards{ R&LDHS postcard}.

I was hoping not to have to run one set of stained glass straight into another from a different church, but sadly my computer is playing up again and doesn't recognise my disc drive or external card readers. So I am slowly amassing a stash of images with nowhere to put them. :(
There are still others from the Catholic Cathedral but I thought a break was in order, here's something from All Saints Church just down the road. Same but different - this is in fact fibre-glass! :)
For more information on 'All Saints Church' which was originally built in between 1868 & 1872, devastated by fire as the result of an incendiary bomb in the Second World War and then re-built in the 1960's; look here.
