Carla La (pictured) gesticulates while explaining something to David Teter and I. The 3 of us went out shooting last night and had a great night out. This was in a bar on Polk St. whose name I forget. =)
I explained to my grandson the guys were watching football and untangling his fishing line was beyond my capabilities. He decided to just play with the worms while we visited :)
simonstown, western cape-
kramats of tuan ismail and his son tuan jaliel
family members (williams and anthony) tending to the kramats of their loved ancestors
***************************
The fact that there were of runaway slaves in the False Bay area early in the seventeenth century probably explains the presence of Kramats in Muizenberg and Simonstown.
For hundreds of years residents of Simonstown had known of the existence of two holy shrines situated just above Runciman’s Drive, there in a forest clearing above Goede gift. People from far and wide came to pay their respects. In the early years of Simonstown, the Muslim community was a small and concentrated one-all living within the immediate proximity of the two shrines. While the precise identity of these Auliyah could never be verified, regular visitors have been unanimous in their opinion that those buried in these graves are indeed the “friends of Allah”. Typical of all Kramats, the area has always been enveloped in an aura of calm and tranquility.
It was only earlier this century ( 21st) that a translation of a kitaab, a bound book passed from generation to generation, revealed with some certainty the identity of the Auliyah buried here. Written in ancient Sumbawanese, the kitaab identifies these Auliyah as Iman Abdul Karrien bin Imam Jalil bin Imam Islam of Sumbawa in Indonesia. (aka-Tuan Ismail Dea Malela and Tuan Dea Koasa).
In 1969,a second part of the “mystery” was put to rest by a UCT student, a certain Mr Muller who conducted his theisis on the Muslim community in Cape Town, and specifically Simontown. His research findings revealed what oral history had claimed for centuries – that Tuan Ismail Dea Malela and his son, Tuan Dea Koasa are of royal descent. His research cites the kitaab as the most valuable piece of evidence linking the families of the Dea royal family in Pemangong, Sumbawe, Indonesia and Sultan Kaharuddin to the Dea family in Simonstown.
excerpts above from the cape mazaar society's- kramats of the western cape'
************************************
A Kramat is a shrine or mausoleum that has been built over the burial place of a Muslim who's particular piety and practice of the teachings of Islam is recognised by the community. I have been engaged in documenting these sites around Cape Town over several visits at different times over the last few years. They range widely from graves marked by an edge of stones to more elaborate tombs sheltered by buildings of various styles. They are cultural markers that speak of a culture was shaped by life at the Cape and that infuses Cape Town at large.
In my searches used the guide put out by the Cape Masaar Society as a basic guide to locate some recognised sites. Even so some were not that easy to find.
In the context of the Muslims at the Cape, historically the kramats represented places of focus for the faithful and were/are often places of local pilgrimage. When the Dutch and the VOC (United East India Company aka Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) set up a refuelling station and a settlement at the Cape, Muslims from their territories in the East Indies and Batavia were with them from the start as soldiers, slaves and 'Vryswarten'; (freemen). As the settlement established itself as a colony the Cape became a useful place to banish political opponents from the heart of their eastern empire. Some exiles were of royal lineage and there were also scholars amongst them. One of the most well known of these exiles was Sheik Yusuf who was cordially received by Govenor van der Stel as befitted his rank (he and his entourage where eventually housed on an estate away from the main settlement so that he was less likely to have an influence over the local population), others were imprisoned for a time both in Cape Town and on Robben island. It is said that the first Koran in the Cape was first written out from memory by Sheik Yusuf after his arrival. There were several Islamic scholars in his retinue and these men encouraged something of an Islamic revival amoung the isolated community. Their influence over the enslaved “Malay” population who were already nominally Muslim was considerable and through the ministrations of other teachers to the underclasses the influence of Islam became quite marked. As political opponents to the governing powers the teachers became focus points for escaped slaves in the outlying areas.
Under the VOC it was forbidden to practice any other faith other than Christianity in public which meant that there was no provision for mosques or madrasas. The faith was maintained informally until the end of the C18th when plans were made for the first mosque and promises of land to be granted for a specific burial ground in the Bo Kaap were given in negotiations for support against an imminent British invasion. These promises were honoured by the British after their victory.
There is talk of a prophecy of a protective circle of Islam that would surround Cape Town. I cannot find the specifics of this prophecy but the 27 kramats of the “Auliyah” or friends of Allah, as these honoured individuals are known, do form a loose circle of saints. Some of the Auliyah are credited with miraculous powers in legends that speak of their life and works. Within the folk tradition some are believed to be able to intercede on behalf of supplicants (even though this more part of a mystical philosophy (keramat) and is not strictly accepted in mainstream contemporary Islamic teaching) and even today some visitors may offer special prayers at their grave sites in much the same way as Christians might direct prayer at the shrine of a particular saint.
Can somebody explain this "camera on a stick" thing to me? Is this a navigation aid?
To me, it looked like they were simply filming themselves everywhere they went (kind of a photographer equivalent of public masturbation).

Adam Fysh of UNISDR explains how the Sendai Framework has expanded the scope of disaster risks we must consider and calls for an understanding of the systematic nature of risk. "These are uncharted waters. Epidemics, industrial accidents, plant blights, and even droughts can't be modelled in the same way as other hazards. Exposure growth is making a farce of traditional return periods and vulnerability is barely understood from a risk data perspective.”
UNISDR is the secretariat of a new initiative known as the Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF) that will seek to both grapple with those challenges and come to terms with the uncertainty native to such an understanding. GRAF is open, collaborative, transparent & practical.

today was an excellent day! i got up, got a call on my cell phone and it was the FedEx guy, and he had a parcel for me that i have been waiting for a long long time. can't explain the joy i felt when someone on the phone asked "is this Annina? i have a parcel for you, be at your door in 2 minutes!"
ohhhh yeahhhh, you sure were mister FedEx, and you brought me my beloved Lightpainted Doll Axana.
i then went back in and looked back, it was raining slightly, guess what i saw, a rainbow!
checked my email to let Ilona know my dolly was here, and had the email about the resin waiting list from Marina in my inbox. wow, some days just are better than you can imagine.
(on top of everything, Calle and his parents, who all work together as architects, got a huge project that we weren't sure was going to be ours, oh my!)
anyway, back to my parcel, had to be patient, eat breakfast first and help out renovating our kitchen (it's gonna be done in about a week, will upload pics of progress!) and then finally got to open my parcel.
oooh em gee, you can see it yourselves in the photos, she is so so beautiful, i am beyond pleased, she is amazing. the long wait was worth it in the end, i'm totally in love with her.
she is the tiniest cutest little creature, love her painting, love the feel of the porcelain and love what a character she is!
thinking about names, not sure yet.
thank you so much Ilona, she is a dream come true! ♥

Corps resident engineer Floyd Bolton (right) explains some of the features of the new bypass to Napa Valley Register reporter Kevin Courtney during a site visit Sept. 24, 2014. The bypass will shortcut floodwater to avoid a horseshoe-like bend in the river that often backs up and causes flooding into downtown Napa. Construction of the bypass is the latest of several Corps projects to reduce the risk of flooding in Napa, and is scheduled for completion in summer 2015. (U.S. Army photo by Tyler Stalker/Released)
David Eakin explains the vitues of the trike to a couple of members of the public at the open day. Admission to the TEFC Open Day was by gold coin and thanks to the generosity of local Darwinites a good sum was collected for Camp Quality by day's end. The Top End Flying Club is based at MKT Airstrip off Jenkins Road at Noonamah. The majority of aircraft based at MKT are registered with Ra-Aus and flying training is available most days of the week. An open day is held every two or three years and is always well attended by the Darwin public.
Commissioner Aggarwala meets with Parks Commissioner Sue Donoghue to explain the storm sewer work and tree saving in Central Park near the 86th St Transverse, April 25, 2023
This work must be explained in parallell with this latest work for I used the same technique- but in that case I used this technique as a background.
Being in love with the work of Jan Saudek and loving particularly a movement of two bodies of one of his photos, I decided to reproduce it with this background. I draw this movement with black and white chalk stick. To start I would like to make it only with black chalk but I quickly realized that one’s could not really distinguished this drawing. Then I decided to add some white colour. Nethertheless I have to acknowledge that this drawing still not really highlights and still muffles by the colourful and movementful background.
Actually I think I have to learn to control more my technique, and spread my paint in a «cleaner» way. For when I spread it on my sheet there is kind of «dirty» stain on it. As a consequence in that case my body sketch could have been more enhance. I could have also put more application on my drawing.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
