'Tyne Cot' or 'Tyne Cottage' was the name given by the Northumberland Fusiliers to a barn which stood near the level crossing on the Passchendaele-Broodseinde road. The barn, which had become the centre of five or six German blockhouses, or pill-boxes, was captured by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917, in the advance on Passchendaele.
t is now the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the world in terms of burials. At the suggestion of King George V, who visited the cemetery in 1922, the Cross of Sacrifice was placed on the original large pill-box. There are three other pill-boxes in the cemetery.
There are now 11,961 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in Tyne Cot Cemetery. 8,373 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to more than 80 casualties known or believed to be buried among them. Other special memorials commemorate 20 casualties whose graves were destroyed by shell fire. There are also 4 German burials, 3 being unidentified.
The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.
The TYNE COT MEMORIAL forms the north-eastern boundary of Tyne Cot Cemetery and commemorates nearly 35,000 servicemen from the United Kingdom and New Zealand who died in the Ypres Salient after 16 August 1917 and whose graves are not known. The memorial stands close to the farthest point in Belgium reached by Commonwealth forces in the First World War until the final advance to victory.

The Battle of Orgreave is the name given to a confrontation between police and picketing miners at a British Steel coking plant in Orgreave, South Yorkshire, in 1984, during the UK miners' strike. In 2001 it was the subject of a historical reenactment. In 1991, South Yorkshire police were forced to pay out half a million pounds to thirty-nine miners who were arrested in the events at the Battle of Orgreave.
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) organised a mass picket of Orgreave for June 18, 1984, with the intention of blockading the plant, and ideally forcing its temporary closure. Aware of the plans by means of MI5 infiltration, the police organised counter-measures.
The NUM was represented by 5-6000 pickets from across the UK. The police deployed between 4000 to 8000 officers, and were deployed from ten counties. Of these a small number had been trained in new riot tactics following the Toxteth and Brixton riots, while most had little or no experience in dealing with such events. There were between 40-50 mounted police, and 58 police dogs. There were no women officers and only a handful of female picketers.
Unlike most of the strikes of the time, where picketers were kept well away from their intended positions, the strikers were escorted to a field to the north of the Orgreave plant. The field was flanked by police on all sides except the south, where the Sheffield to Worksop railway line runs. Opinion is divided as to whether this was a deliberate arrangement.

Lots of people I know have given up on eBay due to the large number of scammers, like the one in China who sold me the TAMRON-EOS adapter shown mounted here which has the lettering printed upside down!
Then you come across a good deal like this legendary Tamron SP 90mm that came with the optional macro extension tube, a couple of adapters (For N/AI) and lens hood, case, caps, UV filter, and instructions in like-new condition! They even threw in a nice book on macro photography.
Yes, it's a gamble. The seller makes all the difference. This seller has a 100% Positive feed back score. So, for that matter, do I!
I did not do so well on the adapters, but I gave him the feedback he deserved.
I never dreamed of getting this legendary lens and all the accessories at a very fair price. I l left that seller the best feedback I could fit in the allotted space.
Ignore seller's negative feedback at your own peril. In the case of adapters, it's a little tough because they mostly all come from china. Something is really needed here. Like some US distributors that are marking up the adapters by 400%.
I feel like Diogenes searching for an honest man, and growing weary in the process!
It helps to win every once in a while!
Shimmering color arched against grey sky,
Painted by dancing light on air-borne mist.
Wide flung by a sacred hand...
The Hand that formed of dust nothingness
The solid Earth below.
Beauty and promise together blended,
Beauty ethereal, promise divine.
Given to grace the clouds and the rain,
Given to bless the world-weary heart...
Shimmers... fades... brightens...
To vanish in brilliance...
Shines through the dark in my soul.

Was any consideration given to making one of these a hundred feet tall for the national memorial in DC.
The famous Smithsonian American Art Museum describes the statue thusly:
"Standing figure of Martin Luther King Jr. wearing a short-sleeved button-down shirt, a tie and trousers. He wears a watch on his proper right arm. He hold his jacket over his shoulder with his proper left index finger. His proper right foot is striding forward. He has shiny black marbles set in for eyes."

Given the weather, I wasn't planning to hang around after 60019, but no sooner had the Fiskerton crossing keeper opened his gates than he was closing them again, for the passage of 156415 on the 16:34 Lincoln to Leicester service. It is seen here speeding past Fiskerton's home signal (combined with Fiskerton Junction's distant) on the 12th June 2013. I'm trying to get photos of all the signals on this line, which are due to be removed by Network Rail in the next couple of years.

Taken from Luna Park, North Sydney - which given it is always overlooked can have a special mention:
Luna Park Sydney (originally Luna Park Milsons Point, also known as Sydney's Luna Park) is an amusement park, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Luna Park is located at Milsons Point, on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour.
The park was constructed at the foot of the Sydney Harbour Bridge during 1935, and ran for nine-month seasons until 1972, when it was opened year-round. Luna Park was closed in mid-1979, immediately following the Ghost Train fire, which killed six children and one adult. Most of the park was demolished, and a new amusement park was constructed; this originally operated under the name of Harbourside Amusement Park before resuming the Luna Park name. The park was closed again in 1988 as an independent engineering inspection determined that several rides needed urgent repair. The owners failed to repair and reopen the park before a New South Wales government deadline, and ownership was passed to a new body. Reopening in 1995, Luna Park closed again after thirteen months because of the Big Dipper rollercoaster: noise pollution complaints from residents on the clifftop above the park caused the ride's operating hours to be heavily restricted, and the resultant drop in attendance made the park unprofitable. After another redevelopment, Luna Park reopened in 2004, and as of 2010 is still operating.
These were given to me by Maxx on my birthday two years ago :) She got them at Aura at the Powerplant Mall in Rockwell. She also got herself a white pair although they were later stolen on the set of taping of a drama series. We both agree that Aura does carry the "strangest stuff!" Btw, they each sold for Php2K+ at the time.
My Mum has given up all of her free time to knit for me - well for baby as I doubt this'll fit me! The knitting of this seemed to cause a fair bit of stress and a few swear words were muttered!
It looks and feels amazing though - now just need the baby to make an appearance!
Spike had given me the idea to bring a camera into work one day, although there aren't too many opportunities to take pictures of interesting things at my work... I took this chance when I saw a new batch of heads coming out of the molds...
And for those who are freaked out... just know that I work for a company that actually designs and manufactures Crash Test Dummies...

Given the fact that this dog attended nearly every single meeting of the BIENE advisory board and toured the european web conference circuit, it must be one of the foremost experts on web accessibility in the canine world.
I was given this badge when I became a ‘Junior Soldier’ in the Salvation Army church, aged 7. We had a special meeting and I made a promise that I meant from the bottom of my heart. I wore this badge every week for 8 years. I feel like it shines and winks at me with hundreds of warm and loving memories.

Given the chain's uncertain future, I thought I had better capture the Newport branch before it potentially disappears. As a young child, a treat on shopping expeditions to Newport was lunch in the restaurant of BHS on the top floor.
BHS was started by American entrepreneurs seeking to emulate Woolworth's success, opening their first store in 1928 in Brixton. They expanded rapidly and in 1933 the company was floated. Expansion continued after WW2 and by the end of the 1960s they had 94 stores in the country. Business faltered from the 1980s and today the firm is in administration with an uncertain future.

Pátio do Colégio (in Portuguese School Yard, written in the archaic orthography Pateo do Collegio) is the name given to the historical Jesuit church and school in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The name is also used to refer to the square in front of the church. The Pátio do Colégio marks the site where the city was founded in 1554.[1]

Now the simple made divine

Given that almost all these were taken through dirty, double-glazed train windows they give a fair idea of my view on Friday as I headed west into the sunset on the line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh.
We were given a plain white t-shirt at work, to be decorated in a football theme for the World Cup..
I decided that rather than drawing on the shirt with marker pens like everyone else was doing, to be a bit creative and came up with this design.
An English lion in blue is set at each side of a red George Cross.
The shape was cut out of the shirt and felt patches sewn onto the inside.
Must mention my mummy who bought the material, cut out the holes and stitched the felt in - or otherwise did all the legwork for me!
Everyone at work thought I'd bought it from a shop!

These were given to me by a relative for my doctoral graduation. I have the documentation around somewhere... I do remember that they date from the second century BCE onwards. If I recall correctly, the glass vial is 1st C CE, the Greek vase 2nd C BCE, and the oil lamp is late (4th C CE?). I will have to dig up the paperwork sometime.
