there is probably some evil foreshadowing in this shot. details later. and i'm done crying about it finally. stay tuned... :(
M60A1 (RISE) Main Battle Tank (E1993.128) - Successor to the M48, another General Patton
One major criticism of the M48 was its relatively poor armour protection which left it vulnerable to the Soviet T-54. When the M60 appeared in 1960 there was little evidence of change in this respect; the lower hull was thicker but armour thickness on the upper hull had been slightly reduced. In terms of firepower and performance there were great changes which had been foreshadowed in later M48 production. M60 carried the British 105mm gun and employed the 12 cylinder Continental diesel engine which gave it a very lively performance.
Like M48 the M60 is a large tank, made bigger by the enclosed commander's cupola, virtually a little turret in its own right. Early models featured a turret similar to M48 but the M60A1 has an elongated turret with an improved shape at the front. Later changes included modifications to the engine under the Reliability-Improved-Selected-Equipment programme or RISE.
The M60 has also been supplied to many of America's allies, most notably to Israel where it has seen considerable service and been extensively modernised. The M60 was never used in Vietnam but it did see service with United States forces in the Gulf War. Our exhibit came from US Army stocks in Germany and is finished in a typical camouflage scheme.

Hetch Hetchy, Yosemite National Park
The hike at Hetch Hetchy was a perfect start of our West Coast trip, as it foreshadowed the many grand and epic hikes we would have in the next few days. At that moment though, we were just letting the bright sunshine shower us, the rocky terrain stretch our legs, and the waters and mountains calm our minds.
1941 opened peacefully for GSWC. The last and most impressive WPA project, the Library, was dedicated in Spring of 1941. Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady and a family friend of the Reade’s, came down to dedicate the library, later named Powell Hall. Mrs. Roosevelt foreshadowed the war to come when she warned in her dedication: “Your day offers the problem of whether a rule of force shall dominate the world or shall a rule of reason. . .prevail”
Watching the trees turn from a uniform green to all varieties of gold, yellow and red is a spectacular experience. However, the changing colors foreshadow the arrival of a long cold winter.

There are worse remote falls than these all over Australia and they are still open to sensible and stupid people!
According to the Canberra Times of Jan 16th 2024 it's all closed, and the roads blocked off for the foreseeable future!
Why not let the Darwin Awards be earned by more silly people who pose for Instagram shots on the edge of the falls!
“Animal imagery seems their inevitable lot,” wrote the cultural critic Jonathan Culler. “They are said to move in droves, herds, swarms or flocks; they are as mindless and docile as sheep but as annoying as a plague of insects.”
The appetite for self-delusion foreshadowed by the Claude Glass — for manipulating the object of the tourist gaze until it subscribes to preconceived desires — has become universalized. People converge on celebrated sites, taking turns to have their photo taken at the viewpoint, while out of shot a queue of other aspiring influencers await their turn.

ca 1985- Fr. Ed Bradley (l) helped spearhead an early "Service Program" for Prep students. An evening's effort at a local food bank helped package donated food items collected there. His efforts foreshadowed the current comprehensive program, which offers dozens of service opportunities to classes, clubs, teams and individual students and their families.
Hotham St Oswald has no less than six windows designed by the major Scottish artist Douglas Strachan, inserted between 1939 and 1945. This is one of the larger ensembles of his work in England.
The east window at Hotham shows the Adoration of the Magi and the Shepherds, with above the shepherds and magi angels bearing symbols that in part foreshadow the child's future suffering. At the foot of the centre light is the Annunciation and in the tracery the Agnus Dei surrounded by symbols of the four evangelists and the dove of the Holy Spirit.
"Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead," said Scrooge. "But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!"

and from the Preface:
Preface
I have endeavored in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humor with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D.
December, 1843.
The south aisle was added during the 15th century, when this classy entrance was built. Although strictly Perpendicular in period, it foreshadows later Tudor style, with its four centred arch, and the decoration in the spandrels, and the drip mould, have a very "cotswold" feel to them. The door itself is made from five jointed oak boards, cross boarded and braced on the inside, and studded with iron nails. It has been sympathetically restored at some time in the past, new sections being inserted near the base. I'm not sure of its exact age, it is certainly very ancient, and may well date from the time of the construction of the south aisle, and thus could be 500 + years old.

I never have had dreams that foreshadowed anything that actually ended up happening - until just the other night. It was the oddest thing that has happened that i can recall and I don't need it to happen again... unless I dream that I win the lottery.

A photo of Kitty Genovese in her 60's height-of-fashion crinoline.
From her family.
So lovely, so doomed, the entire sordid event so very sad.
Abandoned by her fellow townspeople who 'just didn't want to get involved'.
Her murder so damned meaningless.
Anyways... perusing, I noticed that everything was clear in the shot but one blurry spot. Strange.*
A Green Man?
Hmm, not quite. Not a typical one, anyways.
So, what does her killer actually look like?
But before looking his picture/mugshot up, I note certain characteristics of the anomaly:
--somewhat full lower lip; top lip, not so much
--fu manchu mustache
--overexaggerated cheekbones (well, just one cheekbone, really)
Her killer couldn't look like that, right?
Nahh...
*Don't see it? Parallel with Kitty's left arm on the far right edge of photo, note the blur -- the only blurry image in the entire photo
n.b. This was an attempt, seemingly unsuccessful, to enlarge without the proper photo editing software. Gotta fix that.

The restoration of the Yale University Art Gallery reawakens one of America’s great architectural beauties from a slumber that has lasted too long. Like the return of a long-lost friend, however, it may resurrect a few old wounds.
Overseen by Polshek Partnership Architects, best known for producing sleek contemporary designs, the restoration puts Louis I. Kahn back on the pedestal he so richly deserves. All the elements of his genius are here: the bold geometric forms, the crisp lines, the sensitive use of light, the tactile love of materials. The first of his great masterpieces, the building foreshadows the atavistic landmarks of his late career.
Years of callous alterations have now been reversed, restoring those elements in all their glory. The west facade has been rebuilt so that its glass and steel frame regains its original lightness; a sunken exterior court that was senselessly roofed over to make room for more gallery space has been restored, allowing light to spill down once more into the lower galleries.
The elegance of that west wall, gently set back from the street, contrasts with the forceful concrete-block facade of the main entrance, an opaque, expressionless screen. Inside the building this quality of restraint gives way to an intoxicating blend of muscularity and delicacy. The deep triangulated beams of the ceilings, with their deep shadows, lend the rooms a mystical air; the stark silolike concrete cylinder housing the staircase reaffirms the galleries’ status as sacred space.
Even the minor alterations are dead on. The lobby was renovated by Joel Sanders, a rising New York talent who shows Kahn the proper respect without kowtowing to the master. Mr. Sanders’s subdued contemporary furniture and discreet ebony cabinets reinforce the building’s intimate atmosphere, transforming the lobby into a welcoming living room.
From here you gaze out at one of the original building’s strangest features: the incorporation of an old rough-hewn stone retaining wall that Kahn used to frame his outdoor courtyard to lock the building into its historic surroundings. But the true revelation occurs when you step into the galleries.
Every museum director and curator embarking on a new building project should be required to tour these rooms. The potent thrust of the concrete-beam ceiling draws you into them as if you were being lured into a sacred tomb. You gaze up in awe, and then turn to the paintings.
Most of the paintings, which range from early Italian Renaissance to contemporary, are displayed on partitions supported on steel legs that break the rooms down into a series of small informal spaces. Paintings by Monet, Renoir and Pissarro hang in big gilded frames along the concrete-block wall that runs the length of the main facade.
These are not the crude concrete blocks associated with prisons and old college dormitories. Custom designed, their small dimensions — four by six inches — look comparatively refined. The paintings pop.
As with all of Kahn’s great buildings the entire space is animated by his masterly handling of light. Big plate-glass windows are discreetly hidden behind thin white scrims. A narrow vertical slot of glass overlooking the entrance court gives visitors an opportunity to orient themselves vis-à-vis the outdoors and allows a stream of light to wash down a back wall.
The stunning variety of the light and the tension between the forms and materials — the delicacy of the partitions, say, versus the brute weight of the concrete — keep us alert. Everything here feels warmly alive.
Nothing, nothing in my days
Foreshadowed this
Half-beast, half-fish,
This powerful creature of land and sea.
I liked the sweeping vista of the valley and the hints of red in the trees -- foreshadowing of the autumn colors yet to come.
Taken from a lookout point off of Hobbs Highway just east of Arbutus Hill Road, southeast of Traverse City, MI (not far from the Brown Bridge Quiet Area). Much of this is the valley of Boardman River from ancient times.
Shot this one on the beach in Atlantic City the other week.

January 22, 2017 - Bottlenose Dolphins Selection – Taiji, Japan
Day Three; the nightmare hasn’t ended.
The day started early again as the first of the skiffs arrived at 06:51am, followed by the others, full of trainers, by 07:00am. The boats drove straight through the pod; a scene that would foreshadow the rest of the day.
By 07:35, during the first of the group selections, a young dolphin thrashed itself so hard against the side of the skiff that it bled. 3 days without food, left in the freezing cold and shallow water, these dolphins were frightened and exhausted.
We noted the first 2 skiffs leaving with 2 dolphins each at 09:21am. They were slung up onto the sides of the boats and dragged through their family, away to their morbid new “home,” alone, hungry and scared. The skiffs continued to plough straight over the families as they were frantically thrashing.
At 11:19am, 3 very small baby dolphins were put into slings and dragged past their frantic mothers, taking the abduction count up to 41 over the past 2 days of selection. There was horrific sights of trainers separating a mother and baby as the mother dove head-first toward the skiff in order to be by her child. The laughing and talking from the trainers rang out through the cove as we watched a complete decimation of a family unravel before our eyes. We were watching a mother’s worst nightmare. We were watching a helpless being have her only friend and companion torn from her.
The hunters took a moment for lunch before resuming, stealing another 6 small bodies for slave labour at around 1pm. At 1:46pm, the last of the babies were stolen for the day, taking the total count up to 53; that was 30 yesterday and another 23 today.
The process of assessing, marking, terrorising and torturing continued until we noticed the tarps start to be withdrawn at around 2:30pm
Another 7 gruelling, nightmarish hours saw the end to the third day. Unfortunately, we are sad to announce that the process isn’t over. The - once - super pod of 200 dolphins will spend yet another night netted into the cove, awaiting scrutiny and invasion of their sacred bodies and that of their children’s, before either being rejected as “not beautiful enough,” or abducted for their profitability potential.
This is all done in the name of marine park revenue. Aquariums, zoos and marine parks alike who keep once wild animals, all play a part in the horrific, six-monthly dolphin hunt that occurs here in Taiji. The captive industry is responsible for the heartache of mothers having their babies dragged away in front of their own eyes. The captive industry is responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths of innocent animals. The captive industry is responsible for the decimation of the ocean’s diverse and rich ecology. Say no to marine park tickets. Animals behind glass didn’t wilfully give up their free lives.

1953 Cadillac Le Mans at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
To foreshadow Cadillac's look for the mid-1950s, GM styling produced this handsome, short-wheelbase two-seater roadster. This one originally built for Fisher Body President J. E. Goodman, was the second of four prototype cars to be made drivable by GM. It was updated with 1959 body panels, quad headlights and revised tailfins, a detachable hardtop, a new 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine, and a low-profile Harrison radiator. It was initially Sea Mist Green, then was repainted and reupolstered in matching Silver-Grey

1961 Chevrolet Corvette
Chassis No. 10867S103251
By 1961, the Corvette had evolved into a very credible sports car. Styling was carefully updated under GM design chief Bill Mitchell with a subtle new grille design, while the new rear end treatment foreshadowed the upcoming Sting Ray with a neat ducktail design incorporating four cylindrical taillights. In addition, the growing list of standard equipment now included a tachometer, seat belts, sun visors, dual exhaust, carpeting, an electric clock, outside rearview mirror and an aluminum radiator.
This brawny 1961 Corvette displays an older, yet very well presented resto-mod refinish in silver and white side coves over black interior upholstery. A white vinyl top, cowl hood, vintage Firestone Firehawk radials, steel wheels and chrome wheel covers complete the presentation.
Cabin amenities include a tachometer, clock, defroster, AM/FM radio with premium sound system, and Hurst t-handle shifter. The car’s small-block V8 engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission provides more than enough power to get this vette up and going in a hurry!
The older restoration has begun to show its age in areas, but remains well suited for continued use as an attention grabbing weekend cruiser. This Corvette is sure to please its new owner with a great combination of timeless styling, performance and modern upgrades.
Desirable Early Solid-Axle Corvette!
Classic Resto-Mod!
Beautiful Presentation & Well Outfitted!
Travis Siehndel, KU alumnus
Travis Siehndel lives in Washington D.C., but he still comes back to explore KU whenever he can. Siehndel graduated with a bachelor of music in tuba performance in 1999. He is entering his 15th year in the U.S. Navy and plays tuba in the Navy Band.
On a recent trip home, Siehndel explored KU with his wife and 17-month-old son, Dean. They stopped to enjoy Potter Lake, the Hill and the Campanile. He snapped this photo of the not-so-superstitious Dean toddling through the Campanile.
“I really love the idea that a couple of decades from now we might be able to get the same photo of him getting ready to pass through the Campanile in a cap and gown on his way to his own graduation,” Siehndel says. We can’t wait for that moment!

Arthur Phillip (1738-1814) was an English naval officer and the first governor of New South Wales. His views of predominantly free settlers foreshadowed the sentiments of the later emancipists.
Arthur Phillip was born on Oct. 11, 1738, in London and attended the Greenwich school for seamen's sons before serving an apprenticeship in the merchant navy. During the Seven Years War (1756-1763) he transferred to the Royal Navy and rose to the rank of lieutenant. Subsequently he retired on half pay, becoming a farmer in Hampshire. In 1774 the Admiralty allowed Phillip to serve as a captain in the Portuguese navy, and he later rejoined the Royal Navy during the American War of Independence. At 48 Capt. Phillip was offered a position as governor of a penal colony about to be established at Botany Bay, Australia.
The 11 ships of the 1st Fleet reached Botany Bay in January 1788 after a voyage of 8 months. As the site for a permanent settlement Phillip chose Sydney Cove inside a great natural harbor a few miles north of Botany Bay. Three-quarters of the 1, 030 persons who disembarked there were convicts, the remainder marines and officials.
For 5 years Phillip, with unflinching optimism, struggled to create a viable colony with unsuitable human material. Convicts, mostly lower-class criminals from Britain's burgeoning towns, were granted small farms on the expiry of their sentences, but this did not transform them into an industrious peasantry. The marines, who initially received no land, were dissatisfied because they could not advance their personal fortunes in such a remote outpost. Only 13 free settlers of the kind that Phillip wanted in order to create a thriving colony arrived during his term as governor.

Is this a foreshadowing of things to come? Let’s hope so! It was a spectacular debut for Forgeline-equipped teams, at the 2017 IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge season opener at Daytona International Speedway this past weekend! Porsche Caymans on Forgeline wheels swept all three spots on the GS class podium, and two of three spots on the ST class podium! In the GS class, we congratulate Bodymotion Racing on their GS class victory and CJ Wilson Racing for their 2nd & 3rd place finishes. And in the ST class, we congratulate Murillo Racing and RS1 for their respective 2nd and 3rd place finishes. What a great way to start the 2017 racing season!

This series will be the last of my uploads for the trip I took to southern Burgundy in September 2023.
Listed as a Historic landmark in 1900, the Romanesque church in the out-of-the-way village of Gourdon is one of the secret wonders of Burgundy. Not particularly outstanding from the outside, its large silhouette nevertheless foreshadows an impressive interior, and indeed it is, with its combination of a whooping three-level, Cluny-inspired elevation, its three naves and its generalized system of groin vaulting. Its collection of sculpted capitals is also famous, as are the alfresco paintings that were discovered in the 1940s as the plastering that was applied to hide them in the 19th century began to peel away. More such discoveries were made in the 1970s and restoration lasted until the early 1990s.
Located on a hilltop in the département of Saône-et-Loire, Gourdon has been inhabited since time immemorial. Valuable traces of Roman presence were found in 1845 and promptly shipped to a museum in Paris (the Cabinet des Médailles) where the are still being exhibited to this day. A monastery was founded here very early on, as there is a written trace of a dependency of the Le Puy cathedral chapter in 534, but claims that it was “a Benedictine priory” seem to me a bit overambitious, in spite of my sympathies for that order: let’s not forget that Saint Benedict died only in 547 in Monte Cassino, and I doubt that his Rule was so well-known in Gaul in his own lifetime that it could have been adopted by a small religious establishment in Burgundy... The monastery did certainly exist, though, as Saint Gregory of Tours visited it in 570 and there met with Didier (or Desideratus). About this last figure, History hesitates between the quality of abbot (that would indeed rather be prior if Gourdon were a priory back then) and that of hermit. In any case, by 1104, when the completed parish church is mentioned (there remains no trace of the in-between period), there is no further mention of that monastery, which must have disappeared in the meantime; it was probably little more than a hermitage, as by Year 1000 the rule had been largely propagated by Saint Benedict of Aniane († 821) and Benedictine houses were flourishing all over the Western world. An already existing priory would most likely never have been so abandoned and shut down. No physical traces of that establishment were ever found by archæologists.
Since around 1100, the church has been left almost intact, except for the bell tower which collapsed in 1881 and was rebuilt in 1889, exactly as it was before.
