Text taken from the information board beneath the sculpture:
"Mazda started European motorsport in the late 1960s to prove and promote its rotary engine in the tough environment of endurance racing. Mazda rotary engine cars have won 100 IMSA races; GTU victory in the Daytona 24-hour race; IMSA manufacturer and driver titles; the Spa 24-hour race; five class victories at Le Mans; two British Touring Car titles; and most famously, Le Mans in 1991 with the 787B, the only Japanese manufacturer to have won Le Mans and the only rotary to win the world's most demanding race.
In the United States more people race Mazda cars or Mazda engine vehicles on any given weekend than any other marque.
The sculpture represents Mazda's Kodo design philosophy of strength, beauty and tension found in the instantaneous movement of living things and the simplicity that reflects Japanese aesthetics. Gerry Judah's interpretation of Kodo is a beautiful an simple form that expresses tension, lightness and movement that belies the complexity of the structure.
The two cars are the 1991 Le Mans winning 787B and the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo car, previously a virtual car designed for the GT6 game, Mazda built this car specifically for the Goodwood central feature."

Indoor Wall Water Fountain Feature - Features / Fountains
Add ambiance to any room with beautiful indoor wall fountains. We currently have many styles to choose from in a wide variety of frame materials and waterfall face choices. Our skilled artesians are adept at metal fabrication. The metals available for the frames on your water wall have been chosen for attractiveness, durability and ease of fabrication. The most common metals used are copper and stainless steel. The unique marbled or patina finish is applied to the copper of the indoor wall sculptures one piece at a time. A clear coating is then applied to the metal to give it a high gloss finish as well as to protect the copper from naturally developing a green patina over time. On some of our most recent water wall models we will even go further and apply custom artwork or custom patina shading to the metal making your wall sculpture a true piece of unique art.

Graffiti on Toronto’s streets was flourishing in the mid-1990s. Heavily influenced by the scene in New York City in the 1970s, graffiti artists talked about their inspirations and their battle with the idiots of graffiti: the tagger.
Editor-in-Chief: David South
In 1994 a huge schism had grown in Canada between youth and the wider media. Young people were not reflected anywhere and their views were ignored. That is, until Watch Magazine exploded onto the streets of Toronto and into the halls of the city’s high schools. I was hired by Youth Culture to be the Editor-in-Chief for this unique business: a magazine staffed by high school students but covering the wider worlds of pop music, culture, fashion, politics and the arts.

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 30th December 2017 at 13:00. This year's race featured the change from last year's race where the race seen the introduction of chip timing, a new start and finish in the middle of the village at the community center and, a slightly amended route.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157688852560892
The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. The remainder of the race is The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was very cold and windy. The rain managed to stay away but a very cold northerly breeze certainly made conditions cold. Whatever wind advantage there was for the runners was not experienced until the second half of the race. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and last year in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 event seen very suitable weather for road racing.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town.

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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

I used my Nikon S2600 for taking this photograph while I attended a model railway exhibition at Pearth Green Community Centre in Brockley Whinns on March 17th 2012. This layout is an O gague which featured a nice mixture of GWR, LMS and NE steam locomotives and rolling stock. The image shows a GWR 0-6-0PT waiting with it's goods at Whinny Hill Station.
Since Shopko is one of the very few discout retailers remaining, I'll document a few of them for you. It won't be the main store to be feature on here but will be here. This Shopko was one of those vision 2000's stores they tried out in the 90's. Unlike the Belvidere Shopko, this one is in a busy shopping area.
I am so excited! This book authored by Marty Crump, and published by Chicago Press, comes out in Oct. And your Dancing Snake Nature Photographer has 14 photos that will be featured. It's my first National publishing, and I could not be more honored.

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Romford, Essex here are the details of the project.
The Wildlife Garden in Romford, Essex RM6 4YH
Brief: The plot in this project was a small, tired looking, sub-urban back garden. Its boundaries were a mish-mash of different fences with an unattractive and rickety wall along its back perimeter. The existing flooring consisted of reasonably good quality concrete paving, which the clients were happy to utilise in the redesign to reduce costs.
The clients requested a low maintenance space and specifically did not want lawn.
Solution: This is a fairly fluid design, featuring a series of interconnected circular areas of hard flooring to provide ample room for seating and relaxation while maximising the available planting space.
The existing fences and wall were removed and replaced along the entire boundary with new shiplap panels. A new shiplap gate was erected in the left hand corner of the space to allow access to an alley beyond.
The centre of the space features a gravel circle edged with red brick, to create an area large enough to accommodate a table and chairs for alfresco dining. This area also features a 12ft crab apple tree planted off centre within the gravel. 'Growing' from this main circle is a crescent of red half-bricks retaining a bed of loose cobbles.
Also adjoining the main circle is a smaller, brick-edged circle of crazy paving close to the house, constructed using the client's exiting paving and edged with red brick. This smaller circle has a crescent of loose cobbles adjoining it to the right. In the top right of the space we find a second circle of brick-edged crazy paving. This is joined to the main gravel circle by a railway sleeper bridge running over a crescent shaped butyl-lined pond. The pond itself is also brick edged and features two 'geyser'-style spouts, one on either side of the sleeper bridge.
The area in the bottom right hand corner of the garden has been set aside for a small storage unit, utilising the clients existing paving to create a cost-effective hard standing.
A wild-life oriented planting scheme provides the finishing touches to the space. Featuring hot colours, reds and yellows with splashes of purple, the flora was been chosen to provide year round interest and consists almost exclusively of perennials and evergreen shrubs and trees to keep maintenance to a minimum.
Testimonial: "Earth Designs have transformed a desolate concrete wasteland that we never used into a beautiful space in which we spend time almost every day. Katrina listened carefully to what we wanted and her first design was just perfect for us.
The build team worked hard to make sure every detail was to our satisfaction. If we move and need another garden transformation, we'll be using Earth Designs again."
If you dig this and would like to find out more about this or any of other of our designs, please stop by our web-site and have a look at our work.

If you’re not too tired of reading about me yet, I was interviewed by Kathy Temean for her terrific blog, Writing and Illustrating, which was posted today. Learn a little more about me, my stained glass mosaic illustrations process, and see lots and lots of photos of my art.
Kathy’s blog is such a great resource for published and unpublished authors and illustrators. She posts information she gets from her interactions with editors and agents in the industry and shares thoughts and techniques of other writers and illustrators in the field. I always look forward to her weekly “Illustrator Saturday” posts, and now I am a feature! Check it out and leave a comment if you wish - we’d love to hear from you. Thanks so much, Kathy!! kathytemean.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/illustrator-saturday...

The Illuminated feature tram 732 “Tramnik One” also known as “The Rocket” in use as an illuminations tableaux / advertising hoarding. Gynn Square roundabout, Blackpool N.S. Saturday 22 September 2012.
At one time this roundabout was very nice with well-kept flower beds and a large Daily Mail clock mounted in the centre of it. These days it is just a complete mess with Blackpool Council no longer having any pride in its appearance and upkeep. The Rocket has just been dumped on a piece of track which unfortunately is located in a bad position so the tram faces towards Dickson Road rather than either northbound or southbound illuminations traffic travelling along the Promenade. At first the tram was surrounded by tatty temporary metal fencing but even this has now been removed leaving the tram exposed to vandalism.
The future of the Rocket like many other Blackpool trams stored outside along the Fylde Coast and in Merseyside must be in doubt especially with the two proposed museum schemes (Copse Road, Fleetwood and Thornton Gate) unlikely to go ahead. I personally hope that the tram has a bright future (no pun intended) as it was one of the most popular illuminated trams along with the Santa Fe western train. However I very much doubt that it will ever operate again but we shall see; only time will tell although being honest I think the cutters torch will be the only future that many of the stored trams will see during the next few years.

Woolpit church is one of Suffolk's finest and also an all time favourite of mine. I have loved this church since I first set eyes on it as a young child in the late 1970s whilst attending the wedding of one of my cousins here. I was mesmerized by the riot of wood-carving within, the angels gazing down from the ceiling and the animals perched on the bench-ends, it was so unlike the austere 1960s building we attended mass in at home!
You could say my interest in churches began here; though it had been sparked by an earlier visit to Norwich (which I still recall despite only being at the age of three), Woolpit church and the artwork within it galvanised my resolve to see and learn more, pushing me in the direction of churchcrawling and even choosing a related career as a stained glass artist.
Woolpit was the family home of my Uncle, Aunt and cousins so has been familiar over many visits since childhood. Later the ashes of my maternal grandparents (the only ones I knew) were buried here in the churchyard close to the north door, and more recently my Uncle Rod joined them nearby following his funeral here. He spent his last years living in the cottage next to the churchyard. It is a place full of memories to me.
Back in the late 1990s I submitted a design for a Millennium window for this church based on the famous local legend of the Green Children of Woolpit. It received some support and even Diocesan approval but was rejected in the end on the understanding that the village needed to mark the event with something for everyone, not just the church so an allotment was provided instead. My late Uncle's calligraphic text on the Green Children legend has hung in the church for many years.
So why is this church otherwise so special? It is a beautiful mostly 15th century building, distinguished externally by a handsome two-storied porch and an elegant tower and spire (a 19th century addition after the collapse of previous towers). Within however the real glory is in the medieval roof, the double-hammerbeam angel roof over the nave is one of the finest anywhere (the angels are skillful Victorian recreations by Henry Ringham after the originals were lost to iconoclasts centuries earlier but restore the intended effect beautifully).
The medieval benches are particularly special here, all of which feature animal carvings at either end which were spared by the iconoclasts since animals didn't offend them the way saints and angels did. The benches nearer the front of the nave are careful recreations following the originals but the whole set works as a united whole and the parade of quirky creatures up the aisles is a delight to behold.
My photos here don't do the church justice, I didn't have the chance to take any pictures here on my recent visit as I was catching up with family, so for the moment can only upload some handheld shots from previous visits, so until I get the chance to return and spend a while longer in here this meagre selection will have to do.
The church is usually kept open for visitors and shouldn't be missed, it is in my opinion one of the loveliest in East Anglia.
