This is the stamen of a single geranium flower. Until I started looking for something to take a macro photo of I didn't even realize it had such a lovely little mini-flower in the centre. I'm still working on getting the focus just right, even at f22 the DOF is very very shallow.
That was what we woke up to this morning being on the edge of the weather warning for today. All gone now, thankfully as it was slippy in the slush...

I visited the Tate Modern's new extension with it's viewing platform. As well as the new views on offer, arguably the most interesting views are that of the adjacent residential towers, which have been co-opted into an unwitting installation offering snapshots into people's lives.
Macro Extention tubes were fitted to the camera to get even closer to the subject. I like this because it creates an abstract picture which (from a distance) could be mistaken for something else like a Las Vegas style scene. The blurred reflections from all of the soldering look like car headlights in the distance. The large components look like Casino Buildings or other Buildings.

This shows the extent of the fading of the current setting figures on my BOC LD-185 welder today, but when I bought it in 1996 I wrote down the figures before it faded anymore than it had then. The figures have been put into the diagram in the previous picture to this one.
The 50 volt figures aren't too bad but the 80 volts ones are mostly unreadable now. I stopped cleaning the top of the welder some years ago to avoid removing even more information.
Urban extents illustrate the shape and area of urbanized places. Urbanized localities are defined as places with with 5,000 or more inhabitants that are delineated by stable night-time lights. For poorly lit areas, alternate sources are used to estimate the extent of cities.
Yesterday is gone, yet this day recalls,
There is no choice for fateful ways.
When worlds were stopped, inertia played the game,
Forward thrown, unsteady days, ricochet, and rebound!
Now more than hundreds past, but still they come,
Time is not straight, in all directions run,
An image comes, ‘conscience’ an internal fight,
Do I want to tell wrong from right?
The blade so Sharpe, perfection made, this ‘is’ art.
Now upon the ice we stand, and the sun is rising!
How to move from this undesired place,
Take the light, this gift is his, and it shows the way.
Taken then, direction without choice, what will it bring?
Does the knowledge rest in the pages of unread books?
Guide me from this edge, in trust you will not fall,
But tread upon a shore where time itself evaporates…

Note: Bereavement takes us all in different ways. The loss of a son or daughter, perhaps the more than most, will have the severest effect. I wrote these lines while suffering such a loss, my thoughts all over the place, and my mind spinning, as these words attest

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.

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.

To a great extent the convention was a social event. Although some attendees complained that more focus was directed toward social functions rather than religious educational activities, for many the convention was a rare opportunity to mingle with other Jains, make friends and potential spouses.

An extremely rare World WarTwo (one of few in England) 5.25-inch Battery, consisting of three Gun Emplacements, located within the western extent of Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp, the site is centred on TG 0975 4381. The group consists of a Command Post building and three 5.25-inch Gun Emplacements, one of which was constructed in the post World War Two phase of the camp, potentially post 1953. A national plan was devised in 1944 to construct 5.25-inch batteries across Britain, although the Weybourne guns may have been installed as late as 1946, although there are no available aerial photographs of the camp in between 1941 and June 1946, so it is possible that the guns were constructed earlier. However on the 1946 aerial photographs there are obvious signs of relatively recent construction and activity around the site.
The Command Post building is centred on TG 0982 4387 and measures 55ft 9in by 19ft 8in. This building now houses the Environmental Centre operated by the University of East Anglia.
The eastern emplacement is centred on TG 0977 4381, a circular encasement, 39ft 4in in diameter, surrounds the gun and a 18ft long magazine is located to the immediate southeast. The central emplacement is centred on TG 0972 4381 and the post war gun is located at TG 0968 4382. A loop of access trackway runs to the south, which continues to the south towards the airstrip.
The site of the World War Two and post war Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp located alongside the cliffs at Weybourne to the north west of the village. The camp originally started out as a temporary summer camp for the Anti-Aircraft Division of the Territorial Army in 1935. At first the majority of the camp consisted of wooden and tented structures, although in 1937 it was decided to make the camp permanent and more fixed structures and defences were erected. The camp closed in 1959. During World War Two the camp was surrounded by a perimeter Anti-Tank Ditch and defended by a system of Gun Emplacements and Barbed Wire obstructions. The interior of the camp consisted of groups of Nissen huts and barracks and other military buildings. The cliff top to the north was covered by a line of Heavy Anti-Aircraft Guns and Batteries, Slit Trenches and Pillboxes.
RAF Weybourne was a World War Two Anti-Aircraft Establishment, ''X'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based at the station between 16th May and 14th September 1939, with ''T'' Flt, No. 1 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit there between 25th February and 29th April 1942. No. 6 Anti-Aircraft Co-Operation Unit were based there between 7th December 1942 and 30th November 1943. Associated with the Anti-Aircraft Gunnery, the station operated the De Havilland DH-82B Queen Bee target drone aircraft, a radio-controlled target tug version of the Tiger Moth II.
Although the published closure date known for this airfield relates to the World War Two airfield, the Army maintained an Anti-Aircraft Training Camp across from RAF Weybourne using Bofors 40mm Anti-Aircraft Guns linked to AA4 Mk.7 Gun-Laying Radar. When that closed in 1958 the radars were transferred to the RAF. A very small permanent detachment was maintained there using the obsolete radar into the 1980's for cross-tell training, decoy work and to extend low level coverage. In the late 1980's, after the obsolete radars were removed, trials were carried out to confirm the site's suitability for deployment of the new mobile radars that were coming into service.
A Marconi Type 91 ''Martello'' radar was moved from RAF Trimingham to Weybourne in September 1996, operated by 432 Signals Unit acting as a Ready Platform (along with RAF Hopton and RAF Trimingham) for the IUKADGE Series II (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment) Radar System controlled from the R3 Underground Control Centre at RAF Neatishead. In October 1997 the Type 91 at RAF Weybourne was de-built, replaced when the Type 93 at RAF Trimingham became operational.

This full-year graph puts 2011 sea ice extent in context. The gray line shows the 1979 to 2000 climatology, thick blue-gray indicates the 1981 to 2010 (30-year) climatology. NOAA this year switched to using the period 1981 to 2010 for their thirty-year climate comparison period
2011 year in review
Arctic sea ice extent fell to its seasonal minimum on September 9, 2011, falling just short of the record low set in September 2007, when summer weather conditions were extremely favorable for ice loss. This summer, the weather was not as extreme as 2007, so it was surprising that ice extent dropped so low. The low ice extent, along with data on ice age, suggests that the Arctic ice cover remains thin and vulnerable to summer melt.
Northern Hemisphere snow cover retreated very rapidly last spring, with record and near-record low snow cover extents in May and June despite higher-than-average winter snow extent as of February and March.

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 extent of ozone depletion for any given period depends on complex interaction between chemical and climatic factors such as temperature and wind. The unusually high levels of depletion in 1988, 1993 and 2002 were due to early warming of the polar stratosphere caused by air disturbances originating in mid-latitudes, rather than by major changes in the amount of reactive chlorine and bromine in the Antarctic stratosphere.

Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front secures 499 out of 547 seats, with allied parties winning a further 35
Ethiopia's ruling party and its allies won 99.6% of parliamentary seats in Sunday's election, according to preliminary results, raising serious questions over the country's democratic direction.
The Ethiopian national electoral board announced today that the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) – the party of the prime minister, Meles Zenawi – had secured 499 out of the 547 seats, with allied parties winning a further 35.
Opposition candidates won just two seats. Results from 11 constituencies are still outstanding.
The result is a significant reversal of the 2005 poll, when the opposition made large gains despite questions over the fairness of the vote.
The subsequent imprisonment or exile of opposition leaders, coupled with a curb on basic freedoms, meant Sunday's triumph for the ruling party, though not its scale, had been expected.
The victory means Meles will have been in power in Africa's second-most populous country for almost 25 years by the time of the next election.
Addressing a crowd of tens of thousands from behind a bulletproof screen in the capital, Addis Ababa, he warned that opposition protests of the sort that saw 200 people killed – mostly by security forces – after the 2005 election would not be tolerated.

For some good reason a bunch of enthusiastic runners took the extent of the longest day of the year as a good opportunity to find out how far they could run in 24 hours. I know one of these people and 'finding out' is actually one short step away from pushing oneself to run further that ever before. You've met Steve before in these pages. He ran fifty miles today (since noon). That beats his current record by 17 miles. And he still has until noon tomorrow to add to his tally. He was taking on a medicinal dram the last time I saw him. He was plotting 'a metric tonne'. Steve's wife, Alexia, set a new personal best of fourteen miles, easily breaking the half marathon distance. I put in eight miles after work with Steve and two others. We hit the Tentsmuir forest just as the light faded. It was pretty atmospheric; it was a very fun run. I enjoyed running in a group, which surprised me. And I also enjoyed the chat which involved roadkill, French oak, home- brewing and written warnings. Aye, it was a nice wee jogette. This photograph was snapped very quickly and shows Monifieth from the Tentsmuir. It was pretty dark by then.
