Hello, Well I expect to hear from some of you about this painting and not my spelling. Let me give you a little back ground. This comes from my own personally experience. I live near a vacant lot where people take their dogs to run and other little details. It seem people have to watch their dogs doing there business, even when I would take Sonja (claire's dog) out it was hard not to watch. The other part is the city of SBS brought a outside consultant to evaluate the Yampa river. The only problem he saw was the dog poop along the water and walk ways. Sorry, but was inspired.
Expect the unexpected! CONGRATULATIONS to MISS UNIVERSE 2015 Ms. Pia Wurtzbach, truly a Filipino pride! #MissUniverse2015 #BayangMatuwid

Much Hadham is a lovely church being much larger than one would expect for its village setting. The church guidebook acknowledges this and points out that the site was owned by the Bishops of London since some date after 952 AD when it was gifted by Saxon Queen Ethelfleda in her will - first to her sister and her brother-in-law Brithnoth, the alderman of Essex - and then to the Bishop after her relative's deaths. I think this is same Brithnoth (spelled variously) who died leading the Saxon resistance against the Vikings at the Battle of Maldon in 991 - see my Maldon church set earlier.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157630026001994/ to see the full set.
A Bishops' Palace was built nearby and the presence of that palace, and the desire of various London bishops for a more substantial church, led to the construction of the present church which the guidebook admits would not look out of place in a well-to-do town like Ware or Hertford. The building is 121 feet long and the tower is topped with a stiletto-like thin spire called a 'Hertfordshire Spike'.
Dedicated to St Andrew, the present church was almost certainly a Saxo-Norman site but nothing survives today earlier than about 1225. Frustratingly no documents survive before the 19th century as the records should have been in Fulham Palace's archives and should have been transferred to the Guildhall Library in London. Fulham Palace is the main London home of the Bishops of London. An on-site investigation has revealed three phases of construction which - for argument's sake - have been called 13th, 14th and 15th century. It is not possible to ascribe accurate dates to these phases (so far) but future dendrochronology could be used to date the roof timbers with some accuracy and might result in a clearer architectural history.
The oldest part of the church is a weathered door which has now been moved inside and is thought to date to about 1225. It was moved about 100 years later and cut down to fit. Sometime after 1225 the chancel was greatly expanded and this may have been enlarged to allow the bishop and his chaplains to carry out the elaborate rituals which would not fit into a narrow Norman-style chancel. This chancel is Early English in style. Some time later the expansion of the nave was commenced (say 1240-1250) with the building of the south aisle. The first three arches on the south side set the scale for this work and may have been the work of a London mason supplied by the Bishop. This enlargement work continued until around 1280 with two more simpler arches being built on the south side.
Moving into the 14th century (the Decorated style) windows were improved and the north aisle was commenced. In common with many other churches in England the Black Death, in the 1340s, would have brought a halt to any other work as a substantial proportion of the population died along with many skilled artisans. In some English churches it is possible to see where this work halted during the plague. Work at Much Hadham restarted in the Perpendicular style (1390 to 1450). The 90-foot tall west tower carries the arms of Bishop Braybrooke (died 1404) so his arms may date that work at least. Also added were the south porch, a clerestory to the nave and the enlarged east window.
The main furnishings of the church such as the font, some pews, the screen and stalls also date to the 15th century. The pulpit looks like it was made from medieval material but was probably constructed during in the reign of Elizabeth I.
Really wasn't expecting to see this in Dover today!, and this vehicle had brought a Student Group from Folkestone to Dover Castle!, and a big Thank You to this vehicles Driver Mr. Burnett for the freindly converstation and for posing this vehicle so we could both get better shots.
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw Very Recently!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
Don't expect clouds here, The Kohala coast of the Big Island of Hawaii is pretty much a dry desert of lava rock on the leeward side of the island. Expect very warm temperatures and constant sunshine.

The evening before the expected release of new methane regulations by the European Commission, the Gastivists Collective and local ally Tegengas organized a āguerrilla projectionā action at the Vilvoorde gas plant on the outskirts of Brussels. The action highlighted new infrared videos of methane leakage taken by Clean Air Task Force from fossil fuel infrastructure sites across Europe.
āJust weeks ago, at the COP26 conference, the EU signed the āMethane Pledgeā to reduce methane emissions. Despite this, there are still billions of euros of public money that is slated to go to new fossil gas projects. If we are committed to reducing methane emissions, we need to stop importing methane and start leaving it in the ground,ā said Kevin Buckland of the Gastivists Collective.
Methane, sold conventionally as fossil gas (ānatural gasā), is quickly being recognized as a false solution to the global climate crisis, and incompatible with the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, the continued expansion of fossil gas infrastructure is only possible through massive investments of public money that is obtained through relentless industry greenwashing and lobbying that tries to pass off methane as a climate solution. Fossil gas is blocking real climate action, and the reliable, decentralized, and renewable energy systems the people most vulnerable to global price shocks and fossil fuel extraction so desperately need.
Europe is the world's largest importer of fossil gas (much of which comes from fracking). New EU legislation, however, only calculates methane emissions of this dirty energy source from inside Europe, while ignoring the massive leaks from extraction and transport outside of EU borders. Europe needs to own up to its responsibility to the full lifecycle emissions of the energy it consumes, and move away from false solutions such as nuclear, hydrogen, and fossil gas.
Groups across Europe are demanding legislation that listens to climate science, and not the fossil fuel industry, and thus a full fossil gas phase-out by 2035. Any new fossil gas infrastructure that is approved today will either become a climate menace or a stranded asset. Our public money should be going to pay for a just climate transition, not to maintain industry share prices.
The current energy situation across Europe, from the conflict between Morocco and Algeria to Russiaās leverage of gas as a geopolitical tool, proves to us that energy is too important to be left in the hands of for-profit industry and rogue politicians and kings. The EU needs to have transparent and reliable methane emissions reporting, and make policy based on science - not by industry lobby groups such as ENTSOG. It is time for Europe to lead the world in developing locally-owned, reliable, and resilient energy systems, instead of continuing to burn public money through the relentless combustion of fossil fuels.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Police (ISP) and the Illinois Tollway were joined by their industry partners today to kick off National Work Zone Awareness Week with a reminder to all Illinois motorists: Expect the unexpected driving
through work zones. To signal the start of construction season and call attention to the dangers of driving in work zones, Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a proclamation designating this week
as āWork Zone Safety Weekā in Illinois.
āConstruction season is underway. That means crews will be out working on the roads, often times just a few feet away from traffic,ā said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. āPlease slow down and eliminate distractions while driving through work zones.
The rules are very simple: See orange. Slow down. Save lives.ā
The theme for this yearās National Work Zone Awareness Week is āExpect the Unexpected.ā
Whenever motorists are traveling through work zones, they need to be aware of sudden lane closures and shifts, the presence of construction equipment, changing traffic patterns and speeds, as well as a host of other factors that can make work zones potentially dangerous places. More than 4,300 motor vehicle crashes occur in Illinois work zones every year. Provisional data shows that 29 people, including three workers, were killed in Illinois work zone crashes in 2014.
āConstruction work zones can be hazardous to motorists and workers alike,ā said ISP Col. Mike Zerbonia. āMotorists should prepare for the unexpected by reducing speed and staying focused on the road ahead. Speeding and distracted driving in a work zone is a dangerous offense with tragic consequences.ā
Speed and inattentiveness are major contributors to work zone crashes. Workers are not the only ones at risk, either. Statistics show that approximately 90 percent of all work zone fatalities are
motorists.
This year, IDOT will be expanding on the Smart Work Zone technology introduced last year. The system utilizes computers to relay travel times via digital message boards in advance of an interstate work zone so motorists are aware of any backups and can seek alternate routes. Speed
indicator boards will be deployed again this year to increase awareness of work zone speed limits.
Illinois State Police also will continue to operate photo enforcement vans as another measure to reduce speeds in work zones. Signs are posted prior to motorists entering work zones where photo enforcement vans are stationed, with a speed indicator board above the van to give drivers one last chance to slow down.
āWith so much construction on the Illinois Tollway this year, itās important for drivers traveling
in work zones to use caution at all times,ā said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi
Lafleur. āTollway customers can avoid surprises in work zones by planning ahead and visiting
our website for the latest project information and tools to help plan your trip.ā
Fines for speeding in work zones are $375 for first-time offenders and $1,000 for a second offense, whether or not workers are present. If workers are present, motorists can lose their driverās license for up to 90 days after a second violation. The penalty for hitting a worker is a fine up to $10,000 and 14 years in prison.
In recent years, Illinois has adopted distracted driving laws that prohibit the use of all hand-held electronic devices while driving at all times, work zones included. The use of electronic
communications devices or any other electronic device, to text, e-mail, compose, read or send
electronic messages or access internet sites while driving a motor vehicle also is prohibited.

work zones.

Clay has been available for adoption for a few weeks now. No interest so far, but then I expected as much. He is certainly not the dog for everyone. I have to believe that there is a wonderful person or family out there looking for a dog like Clay. I am still persuing the rescue dog option and will be on the phone this week with some rescue dog operations. This beautiful, special boy needs a break (and honestly, so do we).
If you would like to learn more about this very smart boy, check out his Petfinder listing: CLAY'S PETFINDER LISTING

Much-loved Kandy personality served his country as lawyer and diplomat
Nissanka Wijesundera
āIf I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect troubles as an inevitable part of life, and when trouble comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye, and say: āI will be bigger than you, you cannot defeat meā.ā
The above is taken from the book āChicken Soup for the Surviving Souls of Cancerā by Jack Canfield. The book was read daily to Nissanka Wijesundera during the last months of his life.
Mr. Wijesundera was born on April 12, 1926 to a respectable Kandyan family in Meewatura, Peradeniya. His father, a strict and honest man, was a Registrar of Land in Kandy. His mother was B. M. Angunawela, whom he adored. He often recalled the difficulties the family experienced to come up in life. He was very proud that all of his family members were well educated and had excelled in their own fields. There were eight in the family. His older brother, the late Professor Stanley Wijesundera, gave him the courage and motivation to become an attorney. He spoke often about his sister, the late Soma Perusinghe, and his younger brother, the late Ashley Wijesundera.
He had his education at Dharmaraja College, Kandy, and was a fluent speaker in the debating team and a brilliant student in Latin and English. He was also a member of the cadet platoon.
In 1966, he married Padmini Dahanayaka Yapa of Waralla. They lived in a beautiful house with a large garden at Meewatura. He was a homely person who enjoyed getting involved in domestic work. He was proud of his garden and enjoyed getting into a banian and sarong to work in the garden. Clients coming to see him for a consultation would mistakenly take him for the gardener and ask to meet his āmasterā! He would then ask the clients to take a seat, go into the house through the back door, get dressed and come out to meet them. After completing his apprenticeship, he started his own practice in Kandy as a young lawyer.
His honesty, punctuality, hard work and dedication made him a highly successful lawyer. He once said: āI have immense confidence when conducting cases because my colleagues and clients trust me.ā He helped junior lawyers rise in the competitive world of the legal profession. He was happy to see his juniors doing well. This was duly recognised, and he was appointed President of the Kandy Bar Association in 1995. He was proud to have worked at the Kandy Bar for 49 years.
Mr. Wijesundera left for work very early in the morning, taking not only his children to school but also the children of friends. His small car was packed with children, whom he entertained by humming golden oldies as he drove them to school.
He was appointed an all-island Justice of the Peace in 1971. He held the post of unofficial magistrate for 36 years. He was a council member of the Senate at the University of Peradeniya, and served as a member of the development committee at the Kandy General Hospital.
He was an active member of the Parent-Teacher Association of Girlsā High School, Kandy for many years, when Mrs. T. K. Ekanayake was principal. He reached the pinnacle of his career when he was appointed Sri Lanka High Commissioner in Australia in 1993.
He was not a politician but a warm-hearted social worker. He felt for the villagers and helped them whenever the need arose. He initiated the construction of roads, wells and housing schemes in Meewatura. He was actively involved in religious activities in the Udunuwara area, building temples and libraries and forming many associations in his area.
He was in good health until the age of 81, when he was diagnosed with colonic cancer. Despite his ill health, he wanted to fight back. He continued to work even after surgery and chemotherapy. He would tell us: āYou gain strength, courage and confidence with each experience of looking fear in the face. I have lived through the horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.ā
He was very fond of the doctors who treated him, and gave them merit until he ended his journey. Consultant surgeon Dr. Gamini Buthpitiya and consultant oncologists Dr. Kanthi Perera and Dr. Hilmi, consultant urologist Dr. Udaya Pethiyagoda looked after him throughout his illness. He was happy to see Dr. Manil and Dr. (Mrs.) Sakunthala Pieris and Dr. Indika Bandara, who comforted him at home. They were not just professionals in medicine but people with humanity, who encouraged him to be himself.
His honesty and dedication gave us strength, for Nissanka Wijesundera was our loving father. We thank him for what we are today. We remember him on his first death anniversary, which fell on September 23. May he attain the supreme bliss of Nibbana.

My 2nd maternity shoot. Tried a few without the backdrop this time as the colours looked pretty good. Also, there wasn't loads of room to set up the backdrop due to the shape of the room.
For the shots without the backdrop I used both my Sony F42 flashguns with white shoot-through umbrellas.
For the backdrop shots I had a bare flash behind the backdrop and one camera right with a reflector on the floor aiming back up into Matt & Kiley.
There is one respect in which beasts show real wisdomā¦ their quiet,
placid enjoyment of the present moment.

Razia Gershon, a veteran Israeli sculptress debutes online gallery. Sculptures are presented in figurative classic style , based on and inspired by the human body, its movements and ballet steps. The sculptures are cast in bronze, and despite the hardness and rigidity of the material the statues are made of, the viewer can easily see and feel the movement, the elegance and the gentleness expressed in the statues. One of the better known series Razia created includes a bronze garden sculpture series of various animals and in particular sheep. The comic bronze figures are unique and have become the artistsā trademark in Israel.
