Retouched extention tube photo. Removed teh background line becaus eI didn't use my white gaffing tape or rolled paper to shoot on. Opened it up a stop too.
The extent of the social life here at KAF. Numerous shops, peddlers, and fast food (TGI Friday's, KFC) including a Nathan's, all the way from Coney Island!
The westernmost extent of Sullivan's campaign to destroy the villages of the Native Americans who sided with the British. This was ugly business all around and displaced and killed native americans and british allies culminating in the battle at Newtown. John Burgoyne was stalled coming south from Quebec and St Ledger was scared off by Benedict Arnold's campaign against fort Stanwix. Howe was busy trying to glorify himself with a major victory in Philadelphia and Henry Clinton was holed up in New York City, showing no signs of relieved the beleaguered Burgoyne. Sullivan was tapped to go west and destroy the Native American British allies. Ant-indian sentiment was high after Burgoyne allied and sent out thousands of Mohawks Senecas and other tribes to harass rebels. To be fair, their warrior traditions were not well understood and was taken as simple savagery. Native American war was personal and stealthy and brutal. Additionally ritual canabalism (which has been practiced by most societies the world round at some point) ...was considered particularly vile. However it should be noted that hangings and drawings and quarterings were still public spectacles in London. So barbarism is a matter of perspective. As a result the sullivan;s campaign was particularly brutal.
Boyd and parker were rebel officers captured, tied to a free and tortured to death by the tribe at Beards viliage. This site commemorates them and the men who were captured. As it was created in 1928 it is a bit one sided. Tragedy abounded in the revolution and in the true light of history it is hard to fault the Native Americans who responded with equal brutality. to the campaign. They were in a difficult spot....Europeans were closing in to their territories pushing them ever further west. Thus they decided to choose the British as the better ally. THe British at least promised them their own land (modern day Indiana). Additionally the British looked like the better bet to win. The American army and Militias were pretty rough.
The Battle at Newtown is considered a critical battle to collapsing the British northern campaign. But as with all things history there are many competing truths...often complementary truths that should all be known and honored. In this case the campaign was a critical part of the war for Liberty.....In the case of the rebels it was a win. For the Native Americans of Western NY the revolution was also a battle for liberty but ultimatley a defeat....followed by a sad history. I wish in the light of history all these competing truths and and heroic deeds of all men on all sides could be noted. And I so wish the people of the past (what will they say about us in 200 years) had the chance to create a society that was for all the people of the Americas.
This is my first attempt at macro shooting with a set of Phottix Extension Tubes... I tried stacking all three tubes on a 50mm f/1.8 but that gave me unusable DOF so I settled for using only the 36mm tube on a Nikkor 105mm DC f/2.0... It did not get me the ultra macro close-ups but gave enough working space and acceptable DOF... Phottix Extention Tubes highly recommended for people who don't or can't buy a dedicated micro/macro lens !
.. and I loved it.

On the right, where the wall is, and where it cuts off. THAT is where you would be able to find the extention. Back then it was just a straight out patio all the way through

Regardless of the extent of the ongoing tyranny and oppression I have been forced to deal with in Greece for nearly a decade under the harshest environment, my efforts in finding Justice and Freedom for my life have not stopped and it never will until my last breath.
Hence, on December 23rd, 2022, while enduring day 140th of my 4th Hunger Strike outside the UNHCR office in Athens, I left my shelter again to reach the Indian Embassy and plead for their help in providing urgent Humanitarian aid and mediation with this UN Agency.
Although I managed to speak with two Embassy representatives and even though they said they would help, ultimately they had gotten the Police involved to take me away. This time I was held in Police Custody for 2-hours before being let go.

Day 6. The full extent of the fresh snowfall in full view from Coire nan Laogh on Beinn Alligin. Shortly after I took this photo we were enveloped in cloud - as I recorded in my journal, "In a couple of minutes our view was reduced from fifty miles to fifty yards." We reached the top of Tom na Gruagaich but with such rapidly changeable weather, limited visibility and fresh snow the teachers wisely decided to take us back down rather than continue around Beinn Alligin.

For two weeks every May my school took the entire third year of secondary away to locations around Scotland to engage in outdoor pursuits. I spent the fortnight in Torridon, an experience that turned my youthful enthusiasm for hill walking into a lifelong pleasure. The Torridon area has remained one of my favourite locations ever since and I have been back many times, to walk and climb if I can, or just to look if it's all that time allows.
Unfortunately, on this first trip in 1977, aged 13, my embryonic photographic interest was equipped only with a cheap Kodak Instamatic camera, and I offer the results here for sentimental rather than aesthetic reasons. I have previously scanned a couple of the original prints made at the time, and these scans from the original negs are scarcely an improvement. They are slightly cropped top and bottom from the almost square format on account of the 35mm film holder on my scanner and the quantity of dust on them was not worth cloning out. They also seem to have acquired a yellow cast which was difficult to process out entirely in many cases.

Every year in London there is one singular opportunity to get caffeinated in a style and to an extent that is far beyond any other. Part festival, part industry gathering and ALL coffee - The London Coffee Festival is, as far as I can tell, the biggest java palaver / caffeine powered and related event in our glorious capital. I look forward to it every year...
Founded back in 2011 and attracting a âmereâ 7,500 visitors, the festival has grown, year on year, with over 23,500 coffee aficionados, neophytes (and everything inbetween) making their way to the legendary Truman Brewery (on Brick Lane) last year. They come for many reasons, amongst these (presumably); the specialty teas, artisan foods, educational seminars, live music/DJs, and a predictably insane combination of coffee - in all its myriad and magical forms. The festival also serves as the focal point/launch for UK Coffee Week, and is the host of the Coffee Masters Competition - where 16 top notch baristas compete for the title, the fame and a £5000 cash prize.
This year saw over 250 stalls - everything from an espresso bar set up by Illy and Campari to chocolate tastings/pairings with Hotel Du Chocolat and tastings of unusual blends from independent coffee roasters such as Caravan and Origin. Asides from this, thereâs an area called Milk & Sugar dedicated to coffee related design and fashion (and restaurants). âBasicâ tickets start at £14.50 - you can quite happily spend no money, floating around purely on a haze of free espressos and cold brew (though youâll have to get in line for most of theseâ¦). That said, half of the proceeds from ticket sales go to the excellent Project Waterfall, a charity that brings sanitation and clean water to coffee-growing communities in Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
The Cromwell Museum Huntingdon Cambridgeshire contains collections exploring the life of Oliver Cromwell and to a lesser extent his son Richard Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell was born in Huntingdon in 1599 and lived there for more than half his life. The museum is located in the former grammar school building in which Cromwell received his early education from c1610. (also the diarist Samuel Pepys)
The building has fragments of the medieval infirmary hall of the Hospital of St John the Baptist (c1170-90) which was an almshouse for the poor founded by David Earl of Huntingdon. Keeping to an Augustinian rule, the masters of the hospital were appointed by the mayor and burgesses of the town until the suppression of chantries and hospitals in 1547.
Vested in the corporation of the town, the hospital building then became the Grammar School being extensively modified and shortened. The building was remodelled and partially rebuilt in 1863, and then heavily restored in 1878 by architect Robert Hutchinson at a cost of £900 paid for by the dramatist Dion Boucicault in memory of his son, killed in the Abbots Ripton rail accident of 1876. The school closed in 1896
The building had been encased in brick and when this was removed a blocked Romanesque doorway was discovered. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/U3g2Ce The exterior has a bellcote, 5 decorative arches on its west front and 2 bays of the hall's nave and aisles
Following a temporary exhibition in 1958 to mark the anniversary of Cromwell's death, Huntingdonshire CC it was decided that the vacant grammar school would be a suitable location for a museum which opened in 1962 .

Situated on a slight rise about 200m NW of the original extent of Manorhamilton town and separated from it by NE-SW section of the Owenbeg River. Sir Frederick Hamilton received a grant of over 5,000 acres in 1621-2 which he proceeded to increase, and by 1631 he had over 16,000 acres. He had undertaken to build a castle, which was probably not finished until 1636. In January 1642, Manorhamilton was besieged by Irish rebels under such leaders as Brian McDonogh and Owen O'Rourke or Teige O'Connor Sligo, who were encamped at Lurganboy. On January 30th they burnt the town but failed to capture the castle, and they lifted the siege on April 3rd. In the following year Hamilton used the castle as a base for raids as far afield as Sligo and Donegal. Hamilton left Ireland in 1643-4 and died in Scotland in 1647, but the castle seems to have survived until it was burnt by the earl of Clanrickard in 1652.
The castle is a two or three-storey rectangular house, although most of the third storey does not survive. There are two wings projecting on the N side which are not separated from the main house by party walls. The house is U-shaped and open to the N. The wings have a court between them, but its S wall, which would have had the original doorway, does not survive. There is a sallyport which is partly below ground level at the centre of the S wall of the house. There are four slightly rhomboid corner-towers which have three storeys at SW and SE, but those at NE and NW have five and four storeys with the use of mezzanine floors.
The house had two large transom and mullion windows in the S wall at ground and first floors, but these are either robbed or blocked and there are smaller windows, either blocked or robbed, on the E and W walls. The NE wing was probably the kitchen as its W wall at the ground floor has a large robbed fireplace. The main house was poorly provided with fireplaces with only small ones at the S end of the E and W walls and in each wing at the first floor.
Each floor of the corner towers usually has a window and two gun-loops, and some even have fireplaces. The corner towers communicated with the main house through lintelled passages, but there are no garderobes or latrines in the house.
All the quoins, except those from two angles of the corner towers, have been robbed, as has most of the dressed stonework from windows and doorways. There is a plinth all around and string-courses externally over the ground and first floors. The corner towers have three courses of banded masonry only on their outward-facing walls over the first floor.
The house is within a bawn defined by a reconstructed wall at W and remnants of the N end of the E wall. The interior is flush with the surviving top of the S wall, but there is evidence of corner towers only at SW where the W wall survives to three floors, and at SE where the foundations of a tower are visible. Elsewhere the bawn is defined by more modern walls, but there is no indication of where the original entrance may have been. Archaeological testing in the vicinity of the castle has failed to produce any related material, but an excavation inside the bawn has produced evidence of a cobbled surface in the courtyard and evidence of a basement within the castle. The castle has now been conserved, and guided tours can be had for a modest fee.
This is my recent purchase; a set of 3 extension tubes for Pentax K-mount. (12mm, 19mm and 26mm ).
Now I can use any standard lens as a macro lens, but the only drawback is that autofocus and aperture settings doesn't work on modern lenses without an aperture ring. However it's perfect on my old manual 55mm lens which by the way I used to take this picture.
A short explanation:
Extension tubes are mounted between the camera and the lens. They increase the distance between the two, thus allowing closer focusing and therefore a higher magnification ratio. The longer the extension, the closer the distance to the object.
The westernmost extent of Sullivan's campaign to destroy the villages of the Native Americans who sided with the British. This was ugly business all around and displaced and killed native americans and british allies culminating in the battle at Newtown. John Burgoyne was stalled coming south from Quebec and St Ledger was scared off by Benedict Arnold's campaign against fort Stanwix. Howe was busy trying to glorify himself with a major victory in Philadelphia and Henry Clinton was holed up in New York City, showing no signs of relieved the beleaguered Burgoyne. Sullivan was tapped to go west and destroy the Native American British allies. Ant-indian sentiment was high after Burgoyne allied and sent out thousands of Mohawks Senecas and other tribes to harass rebels. To be fair, their warrior traditions were not well understood and was taken as simple savagery. Native American war was personal and stealthy and brutal. Additionally ritual canabalism (which has been practiced by most societies the world round at some point) ...was considered particularly vile. However it should be noted that hangings and drawings and quarterings were still public spectacles in London. So barbarism is a matter of perspective. As a result the sullivan;s campaign was particularly brutal.
Boyd and parker were rebel officers captured, tied to a free and tortured to death by the tribe at Beards viliage. This site commemorates them and the men who were captured. As it was created in 1928 it is a bit one sided. Tragedy abounded in the revolution and in the true light of history it is hard to fault the Native Americans who responded with equal brutality. to the campaign. They were in a difficult spot....Europeans were closing in to their territories pushing them ever further west. Thus they decided to choose the British as the better ally. THe British at least promised them their own land (modern day Indiana). Additionally the British looked like the better bet to win. The American army and Militias were pretty rough.
The Battle at Newtown is considered a critical battle to collapsing the British northern campaign. But as with all things history there are many competing truths...often complementary truths that should all be known and honored. In this case the campaign was a critical part of the war for Liberty.....In the case of the rebels it was a win. For the Native Americans of Western NY the revolution was also a battle for liberty but ultimatley a defeat....followed by a sad history. I wish in the light of history all these competing truths and and heroic deeds of all men on all sides could be noted. And I so wish the people of the past (what will they say about us in 200 years) had the chance to create a society that was for all the people of the Americas.

The extent of Broken Tor is seen here running up the hillside from a vantage spot on the Lade Hill descent. This photo shows the scattered remains of the tor but the lowest section here is not too impressive. The little outcrop atop the slope on the right is the start of a most ruined tor that extends along the East Dart on its west side to the south. The large rock in the river is a Ring Rock.
