On an unseasonally warm February afternoon at Lincoln Road, Bromsgrove Sporting goalkeeper Jonathan Brown takes a swig of water during a first-versus-second clash with Peterborough Sports. Brown's visitors led 2-0 after 21 minutes and went on to win 2-1. Victory saw them leapfrog the Turbines into top spot in the Southern League Division One Central table. Biggest talking point for the division's biggest crowd - 391 - of the day came in the 51st minute when a cynical foul by Bromsgrove's Liam Spink on Josh McCammon sparked a mass brawl. Referee Robert Dadley booked three and sent off Sports' Paul Malone for an apparent headbutt.

I was trying a new technique with a couple of these shots. I used rear curtain flash and set the shutter speed a bit slower than usual.

Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup - Silverstone - 12th May 2019
A three alarm, fully involved house fire driven by winds in the 15 to 20 mph range occurred yesterday afternoon along the 2800 block of County Road 771 in the North Walter community of southeastern Cullman County.
A 911 call was received concerning the burning structure around 1:00 pm Monday. Multiple firefighting units from Walter Fire Department as well as Holly Pond and Berlin Fire Departments were dispatched to the location.
Captain Jerry Ferrell of Walter Fire Department describes the situation as he arrived at the scene:
“When we first arrived on scene, the home was almost totally engulfed in flames with approximately one-half the structure already gone. With winds coming from the north at 20+ mph, things moved much faster than normal on this fire.”
In addition to the high winds, the residence’s construction and building materials were also contributory to the intensity of the fire. Much of the interior of the home was lined with Ponderosa pine wood paneling according to Ferrell. There was also a basement under the main floor that allowed winds to stoke the fire from underneath. As a result, it was unsafe for fire fighters to enter the structure on either floor due to flooring that was already beginning to collapse as they arrived.
If there is any good news in this fire incident, there were NO occupants inside the home at the time of the blaze. There were no injuries sustained by emergency responders, residents or neighbors.
Firefighters worked for over 2 hours to finally get the flames extinguished and/or under control. Almost 8,000 gallons of water were used in subduing the blaze.
In addition to the fire departments above, a deputy with the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office was on scene to control traffic and hold down security around the perimeter of the fire. Live electrical power serving both the home and a nearby burned out-building was flowing through feeder wires during most of the firefighting effort. Cullman Electric Cooperativeultimately did arrive and disabled power to the structure making the end game of the operation safe for all parties involved.
Cullman Emergency Medical Services were also staged at the locations as a precaution in case of injuries to responders and/or occupants.
The Cullman chapter of the American Red Cross was summoned to the largely destroyed home to provide disaster relief and emergency assistance to the home’s occupants. The Red Cross assured that the occupants have suitable short-term living support arrangements in place until they can sort out their next steps.
Captain Ferrell was uncertain as to the cause of the fire:
“Unfortunately, this structure will almost certainly be deemed a total fire loss. What I am uncertain about is the exact cause of the fire; I cannot comment on that specifically until a fire investigation is made and completed. However, I can say that this time of year, residents of homes, trailers, apartment, etc. need to be VERY careful with open space heater, electric portable heaters and all types heating equipment. With the dry air and high winds, a small malfunction of such equipment can turn into an out-of-control house fire. I urge everyone to have multiple smoke alarms in their homes.
Also, I can’t say enough about the efforts of the folks from Holly Pong and Berlin Fire. Their mutual assistance and teamwork to our department was invaluable in this fire.”
The caring, close knit nature of neighbors and passer-bys in the North Walter area was on full display during the incident. A handful of folks systematically made cell phones calls from the scene attempting to insure that all occupants of the dwelling were out of the structure. They also worked tirelessly notifying the homeowners and other interested parties in as rapid of a fashion as possible.

8 September 2024: we are back to hot weather, 30C. Sunny. Hopefully, people will follow the water restrictions more responsibly, as Calgarians continue to use too much water while the water main is still being repaired. They reckon there are still another two and a half weeks till repairs will be finished.
After nine days at home, including the long weekend when I knew that there would be so many people on the roads and everywhere, I finally got out the day before yesterday, 5 September 2024. My daughter had a free day, so was able to join me.
There were a couple of long roads that I had longed to drive, one of which I had never driven before, but I just kept putting it off, feeling not quite brave enough to do it by myself. So, yesterday was the day, and it turned out to be a great day. Not many birds to see anywhere, though several hawks, but a number of new-to-us old barns.
Most of the drive was on main roads, with just very few rough back roads. This was to save time, as I wasn't sure how long the total drive would take. From Calgary, we first headed S and then SW. The first road travelled was a road that I had been along several times a few years ago. However, this was with car-pooling and so I never drove. Part way along this road, the road split into two directions. I have driven the S way, but never W. Yesterday, we went W, passing through a coulee which had forest on the S side of the road and hills and rugged cliffs on the N side. I had been on a number of wonderful Christmas Bird Counts over the years, along this road. Several farms/ranches looked familiar as we had called in at various locations to chat with the owners and check what birds were being seen. How I miss those days!
The rest of the drive along this road, as far as one of the highways going S, was beautiful, with rolling hills and very scattered farms. Fortunately, the weather was good, though there was a lot of haze which made zoomed photography a real challenge, if not useless.
At one point, my daughter said she could see some very distant barns - her eyesight is so much better than mine! Turning along a rough back road, we eventually found a wonderful cluster of old barns, really the highlight of our day. Such a treat to see something new. Several curious farm horses were nearby and came to say Hi just as I was turning my car around. Further along the main road, we stopped to take a few very quick photos of a Swainson's Hawk perched on a rather ugly fence post. So happy to see a bird and actually get a photo or two.
Once we reached the main highway, we went N and quickly checked along one side road before getting on to another main highway going from W to E, A highway that I had driven before, a number of times. Stopped to capture a farmer working hard to harvest his huge field. Thank you to ALL farmers!
A barn or two later, we eventually reached the other main highway going S to N, in the area where we stopped for an old grain elevator. A few clicks and then we were on our way home, going N. A sudden thought that perhaps we could call in at the Saskatoon Farm as it was still only mid-afternoon. I was able to pick up a few beets and potatoes, lettuce and a small Patty pan squash, as my daughter was able to carry them out to the car for me, which was great.
My favourite kind of day, so I'm feeling very lucky.
This is the high ground of Sandy Hollow Heritage Park and marks the “Sunset Stand” as slowly the Colonials were driven back by overwhelming forces and firepower. Dusk was closing in, ammunition was low, and many of the three and four pounder cannons had been lost. Both sides were exhausted by long marches and a four to five hour battle. It was here, as the Colonials retreated, that Count Casimir Pulaski gained Washington’s approval to form an instant cavalry unit which then made a stunning charge against the astonished British forces. Near here too, Greene’s division, under Weedon and Nash, came in behind the pursuing British to inflict heavy casualties on the pursuing 64th and 44th regiments.
According to records by British Jaeger Captain Ewald, “There was a terrible firing and half of the Englishmen and nearly all of the officers were slain.”

These are two of a half-dozen tunnels driven into the hard rock of
this hill during the second world war. They'd been used for ammunition
according to the general rumour in my childhood in the 1950s and '60s.
After the war, they were just locked and shut for decades (like the
picture on the left). And they were left as a great mystery. In the
1980s they were put to use as a mushroom farm for a season, but not
long after the farm left the tunnels, they reverted to no use again.
About fifteen years ago the road going by them was widened and some of
the doors were filled with concrete with only an iron plate about 50
cm square opening into the tunnels, and that plate welded to prevent
anyone getting in (like the picture on the right).
In 1978, or thereabouts, a friend showed up at my house one suppertime
with a couple of flashlights and suggested we try to get in them.
They'd been a great mystery to us and we decided we'd find out what
was in there. Back then they weren't welded and shut with concrete.
Without my going into much detail about how (I actually forget), we
got inside three or four of them. They were tall tunnels -- probably
big enough to drive a car or small truck in if necessary. All the
tunnels we got into had the remains of rails going along the floors,
travelling in about 50 or 60 metres to a dead end. One went much
farther -- I remember the tunnel going perhaps 100 metres but memory
plays tricks -- and opened into a large room. Deep inside the hill, it
was pitch black dark except for our weak, dying flashlights. It felt
and sounded like a cathedral and we could not get to the far end of it
because of a big pile of wooden pallets and discarded furniture that
was dangerous to crawl over in the dark. The tunnel might have gone
farther but we couldn't know.
I cannot pass these doorways into the hill without thinking of that
small adventure. But this week I emailed my friend to ask about it.
He could not remember the event at all! No, boy, he said, you're
mixing me up with someone else. Maybe I am. Memory is a weak thread
at the best of times.
These two pictures were taken this week.
