José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda was a Filipino nationalist and reformist. He was the most prominent advocate for reform in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era, which made him one of the Philippines greatest national heroes. He was wrongly accused of being the leader of the Katipunan Revolution. This false charge led to his execution on December 30, 1896. December 30th is now celebrated as Rizal Day in the Philippines.

Now, apparently I've been tagged and am supposed to put up a selfy and tell 10 things that people might not know about me. Jave I will get you back for this. Sleep with one eye open my friend. Mooohahahaha LOL....
So apparently, some genius came up with this stupid game to annoy millions of flickrites. I strongly oppose the whole idea and premise behind this non-sense. LOL. OK, seriously, No-one wants to see the faces behind the camera. There is a reason we are behind the camera. Our mugs are meant to be hidden from the world. So that the delusion and fantasy of beautiful people making beautiful images stays alive and well. Then someone comes along with this game and shatters the dream of so many and cripples the very fabric of our existence. OK a little too dramatic, I know :-).....but its late and I had to get this up before midnight for a friend because the timing fits so well.
10 Things you probably don't know about me......
1) Today is my birthday....and yes I share it with the 1st President of the United States of America.....Yeah....I know...Its pretty cool......LMAO.....
2) I died several times in the hospital soon after I was born and then a few times after I got home, I've been told by my parents. Not sure exactly what that means, the doctors couldn't really explain it to my parents at the time. Maybe I was just too lazy to breath. That, or it was just too damn cold when I got out. ???
3) I grew up in East San Jose and still live in the same neighbor hood that I grew up in, although I now send my kids to private school. There was 6 shootings and 2 murders in my High School when I attended it, and my limit is 5 shooting and 1 murder, so I decided on private school for my kids....hey...a limit is a limit...right ???
4) My family lived in a 20 foot trailer for a couple of years (not exactly sure how long), while my father was building our house from the ground up by himself, when we first moved to San Jose. My first toys were re-bar and cinder blocks. Possibly some cement or sand. Some kids had Linkon Logs, me and my brother had cinder blocks. Hey....they worked....but it got a little sketchy when we stacked them too high.....Ouch....Mommy....I ...need...a...band aid....LOL.....
5) The one thing that I've done longer then photography (25years) is playing the guitar (30 years). That is also the only thing that I've spent more money on as well. I have over a dozen guitars and half a dozen amps. But my first guitar I found in a trash dumpster behind a building when I went to work one day with my dad. It was beat to $hit and could barely stay tuned (thus being in the trash) but it lit a spark which still burns today. In fact, I was playing one of my guitars before I sat down to post this.
6) I love riding motorcycles. I own a Harley Davidson Road King and can not see a day that I would every want to get rid of it. I plan on handing it down to my son. Although, I do not get to ride it as often as I like, when I do, it is something that feeds the heart and soul, relaxing the mind and giving a true feeling of freedom in a place that feels more or more stifling everyday, as our cities get more crowded and freedoms feel less free.
7) I am a pessimistic Optimist. I see that the glass is half empty, but can imagine what it would be like if it was full. Then I figure out a way to fill it. Half full my a$$. :-)
8) I am the son of two immigrants. I am the first of my family to be born in the United States of America and the first to graduate from a University. My elementary school doesn't exist any longer, wiped off the face of the earth and my high school called Mt. Pleasant was neither on a mountain or pleasant in so many ways. I graduated from Santa Clara University, which opened my eyes to both how much more life could encompass and also how cruel it could be in the process.
9) My Hero in my father. Our relationship has been both turbulent and rewarding. It is through watching him that I have become the man that I am and have determined what it is that I aspire to be.
10) Yes, that is barbed wire behind me in the photo. And no, I've never been stuck behind a wall of that nature (as I've already been asked) :-). I won't tell you where it was taken and can't really say why I picked this scene. I think its a symbolic type thing. Something about breaking through barriers or limits. Use your imaginations. Break down walls, limits, restrictions, whatever. Do what needs to be done, to accomplish what you want in life. Whether it be that next photo or that next job. Don't see the glass as half empty or half full. Figure out a way to fill you glass to the rim and then drink it. Then laugh when your done. That's what life's all about.
Stay healthy and safe.
Enjoy :-)
I wrote software that creates delaunay triangulation behind the mouse. I printed it out on an inkjet and used a lightbox to trace it with pen.
I feel it's time for something slightly darker after bokeh flowers and Santa Claus. I've been away for a while, moving to a new house, but we have the internet again, so will try to comment and visit people soon! I'll also upload more pics soon too.
This one is an edit of a shot I took of the noose used to execute prisoners in Freemantle prison, western Australia. More of an experiment with layers really.
[Edit. Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one anymore, I did a bit of a rush job on it - was more of a prototype really....Anyone got any ideas?]

Danube Park
Danube Park with Danube Tower
Map of the Danube Park
The Danube Park is a park of 800,000 m² in area in the 22nd District of Vienna Danube city (Donaustadt).
Location
The Danube Park is conveniently located between the Wagramerstraße, the settlement Bruckhaufen, the Arbeitertrandbadstraße and the Hubertusdamm. Immediately adjacent to the originally extending to the Wagramerstraße Danube Park are the UN headquarters with the Vienna International Centre and the Austria Center Vienna, more to the south of which the Danube City and to it the Copa Copana with the Danube island to the New Danube terminating. In the north the Danube Park with the beach resorts along the Alte Donau (the old one) finds its borders.
History
Irislake
Butterfly meadow, in the background the "UNO City"
Between 1871 and 1945 existed here the firing range Kagran for target practices of the military. During the Nazi period it was also used for numerous executions. It occupied a large area of today's Danube Park. In the north, near the Chinese restaurant, there is a plaque to the victims, which on 5 November 1984 was unveiled. Every year around 27 October a memorial service takes place.
By 1960, large parts of the territory of present-day Danube Park were used as landfill. To use the area after refurbishment as a recreational area was an obvious choice, since it is only 4 km air- line distance away from the city center and close to the main traffic artery to the Reichsbrücke. The City of Vienna decided in conjunction with an International Garden Show the establishment of the park. With the overall planning the former city garden director Ing. Alfred Auer was commissioned.
On 16 April 1964 the Danube Park together with the Danube Tower at the occasion of the Vienna International Garden Show (WIG 64) was opened. The Danube Park Hall was built, too. A now defunct chairlift served then to transport visitors to the exhibition. In addition, a floating stage was created and there was a own cinema. The area also was referred to as TIG grounds and later old TIG (in contrast to the WIG 74 in the park Oberlaa). Today, only few remains of the elaborate park furniture of the 1960s among the trees can bee seen.
1983 celebrated Pope John Paul II on the occasion of the Catholic Congress on a close to the Danube Tower located part, later called Papstwiese (Pope meadow), with a size of approximately 20 hectares, of the Danube Park a Holy Mass, which was attended by around 300,000 believers. For this purpose, the so-called Papal cross was erected, which remained as a temporary arrangement and in 2011 was renovated
1993 the by an old stock of silver poplars lined Irislake was renatured. During the construction of the Danube City thereby also the much needed further renovation of the areas of former landfill has been made.
Infrastructure
Train of the Donauparkbahn
The Danube Park is easily accessible by public transport, by bicycle and by car. With the U1 line of the stations Alte Donau or Kaisermuehlen/VIC or with the bus routes 20B, 90A, 91A and 92A. The Danube Park is well connected to the Vienna's cycle paths. Over the Reichsbrücke (bridge) and the Brigittenauer Brücke the park can also be reached by car. Directly at the Danube tower there is a small parking area, there are larger parking spaces along the Arbeiterstrandbadstraße, the largest being at the junction with the Danube Tower Road (Donauturmstraße).
The range of recreational activities in the park is diverse. There are playgrounds, skate parks and public tennis courts. With the Danube Park Railway, a miniature railway with 381 mm track gauge, you can take a 3.3-mile round trip through the park. On the stage Danube Park in the summer months concerts are offered with free admission, organized by the cultural association Danube city.

In those days, the new year under the old Julian calendar began on 25th March (the date of the Immaculate Conception -exactly 9 months before Christmas).
1st January only became the start of the new year in England when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1752.
Hence the alternative years given on the plaque 1586/87 - in the 16th century, Queen Mary's execution took place in the penultimate month of 1586 but by our calendar, it took place in the second month of 1587.
“The targeting of civilians, mass executions, and countless reports of rape by Russian forces have gone largely unchecked"
We must take action to put a stop to these atrocities.
Words matter, but so do our actions,” Kinzinger is quoted as saying in the statement. “I’m introducing this AUMF as a clear redline so the administration can take appropriate action should Russia use chemical, biological, and/or nuclear weapons.
We must stand up for humanity and we must stand with our allies.”
Zelenskyy reiterated Ukraine’s resolve to fight.
“Honestly, I do not know — the lives of people destroyed, burned or stolen property will not do anything to Russia, but will increase the toxicity of the Russian state and the number of those in the world who will work to isolate Russia,” Zelenskyy said. “The Armed Forces of Ukraine are responding to the aggressors with all their blows and will continue to respond until the occupiers leave our land.” — Catherine Clifford
My comment:
I agree with Kinzinger: Putin is getting away with murder!
It feels like Putin, the Kremlim & the Oligarchs are being dealt with very, very leniently getting off lightly with it all
It looks like the West/USA are starting to show their teeth and preparing to tell Putin that he's overstepped the mark by miles and so reluctantly the free world is getting ready to correct the situation

Another day spent floating on Long Island Sound! The nice thing about being on a boat in a snow storm is no fear of sliding off the road into the median. Driving an hour and a half to get to the boat is another thing...
And yet again, this is the closest I've ever been to New York City. =)

Demonstrators protesting the pending execution of Willie McGee chain themselves to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. May 6, 1951.
McGee, charged with raping a white woman in Missisissippi in November 1945, was executed two days later despite a six-year campaign by the Civil Rights Congress that involved protests and legal maneuvering that resulted in two re-trials and numerous postponements.
The demonstrators pictured had earlier picketed the White House.
McGee wrote to his wife the night before his execution, “Tell the people the real reason they are going to take my life is to keep the Negro down.... They can't do this if you and the children keep on fighting. Never forget to tell them why they killed their daddy. I know you won't fail me. Tell the people to keep on fighting. Your truly husband, Will McGee.
McGee was executed May 8, 1951.

Henri Regnault (1849-1871)
Summary Execution under the Moorish Kings of Grenada
1870
Oil on canvas
H. 305; W. 146 cm
_______________________________________
Henri Regnault was born in Paris in 1843 and killed in 1871 in one of the last battles of the Franco-Prussian war. Yet the young man had already made a name for himself in the Paris art scene. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1868, he was the first not to spend the three compulsory years in the Italian capital that went with the prize but obtained permission to discover other cultures. He went to Spain, whence he sent to the Salon of 1869 the gigantic painting General Juan Prim, also in the Musee d'Orsay, then briefly to North Africa, bringing back a number of astonishing canvases, flooded with light.
Taking his inspiration from local legends, he painted this Summary Execution under the Moorish Kings of Grenada in 1870. Against an architectural background based on the Alhambra in Granada and infused with an orange glow, Regnault has painted a scene of decapitation. The low angle and vigorous rising composition give the main character an imposing presence.
The executioner's detached attitude and commonplace gesture contrast with the foreground in which the blood dripping down the steps joins the severed head to the body. The colours also take part in this opposition because the executioner's caftan, which picks up the orange tones of the background, contrasts with the victim's green and black clothing.
The painting was acclaimed by the critics and bought by the State from Regnault's heirs, in 1872, to honour the artist's memory in the Musée du Luxembourg, Paris.
Saddam's execution was certain, but it seemed an act of revenge, his death is not a milestone reached in the war over iraq, but an un-justified attempt by US led forces to prove themselves right and the most powerful. It was war not for anything else but "OIL", i am very sure the US army would stay in iraq for many more years to come, again acting like a godfather to people of iraq.
US believed that saddam has weapons of mass destruction, which they never found.. the fact is that they themselves had what they were searching for. Bush and Blair are the ones responsible for messing up with asia, this mess would turn this world more hostile, even more worst place than now. Actions are bound to have opposite reactions.. and US can not defy this rule. Fucking each others lives is not going to lead us to some peaceful wonderland, but we all are digging our own graves.
vietnam, afghanistan, iraq.. all got victimised.. now the focus is on iran and north korea... i dont expect to see any change in the behaviour of leaders who fight this so called "war against terrorism" , that is just name.. it is infact a war to gain oil and power... saddam was just a pawn in this large one-sided game.
May his soul rest in peace... ... ...
Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.

We got a new printer for the box office. So, really, we had to get rid of the old one. Quoting office space in the process.
From "The Life of Garibaldi" (undated) 19th Century with color litho illustrations. An early example of color printing in a book. I bought the book in Lancaster at a Vintage Book Shop not far from the Judges Lodgings.
Routine Iraqi executions of Kuwaiti citizens. This one was taken by the bay and many were brought there to watch as intimidation technique.
