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.
Red Unicorn
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."

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

Given the incredible work they do, the name of this "road" at Maldon is very appropriate.
In Melbourne for an event, I took advantage of the opportunity and once again used Vline to travel to Castlemaine, and then spent a very enjoyable few hours on the Victorian Goldfields Railway. Bright early afternoon sun is hardly the best lighting but I'm not going to complain. 8 December 2024.
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.

The town's name was given by French military forces who founded the Fortress of Louisbourg and its fortified seaport on the southwest part of the harbour, in honour of Louis XV. The French fortress was demolished after its final capture in 1758 and the site was abandoned by British forces in 1768.
Subsequent English settlers built a small fishing village across the harbour from the abandoned site of the fortress. The village grew slowly with additional Loyalists settlers in the 1780s. The harbour grew more accessible with the construction of the second Louisbourg Lighthouse in 1842 on the site of the original French lighthouse destroyed in 1758. A railway first reached Louisbourg in 1877, but it was poorly built and abandoned after a forest fire. However the arrival of Sydney and Louisburg Railway in 1894 brought heavy volumes of winter coal exports to Louisbourg Harbour's ice-free waters as a winter coal port. The harbour was used by the Canadian government ship Montmagny in 1912 to land bodies from the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
Incorporated in 1901, the Town of Louisbourg was disincorporated when all municipal units in Cape Breton County were merged into a single tier regional municipality in 1995.
[edit] Name Pronounced "Lewisburg" by its largely English-speaking population, the present community has been identified by slightly different spellings over the years by both locals and visitors. The town was originally spelled Louisburg and several companies, including the Sydney and Louisburg Railway adopted this spelling. On 6 April 1966, the Nova Scotia House of Assembly passed "An Act to Change the Name of the Town of Louisburg" which resulted in the town changing its official name to the original French spelling Louisbourg.

A literary treasure buried for more than a century has been unearthed by Zachary Turpin, a grad student at the University of Houston.
It's a work of short fiction: a 36,000-word novella published anonymously, in six parts, in a New York newspaper in 1852. The discursive nature of the manuscript's full title — Life and Adventures of Jack Engle: An Auto-Biography; In Which The Reader Will Find Some Familiar Characters — places it squarely in its literary era, as does its subtitle, A Story of New York at the Present Time.
The find was announced on Monday as the full book was published online in the literary journal Walt Whitman Quarterly Review; the University of Iowa Press is releasing it in book form.
What's notable about the novella is its author — the beloved American poet Walt Whitman — and its place in Whitman's literary career. Just three years after Jack Engle saw print, Whitman would publish the work that would enshrine him in the American canon: Leaves of Grass.
Given to me by my beautiful friend Sharnel last Christmas, these are actually a Christmas tree decoration...but they so needed to be taken to the beach and photographed!!!
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 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.

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 Monday 28th December 2015 at 13:00. In an opposite turn to last year's frosty icy weather participants today were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. 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. 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 bad weather made photography particularly difficult but we did manage to get the start of both races and the first handful of finishers from the 10 mile race. They are available on Flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157662725299342]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 GPS traces of both routes can be found at these links:

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
Joy. McCandless could have given up his plans of his Great Alaskan adventure for that. For simple happiness and company who adored him. He did not. He continued to have the drive and, “the wish to find lonely places, where these anchorites might dwell in peace, undisturbed by the turmoil and temptations of the world.” Time had passed, “malnutrition and the road have taken their toll on his body. Over 25 pounds lost. But his spirit is soaring.”
The hatred for his past and his family still burned in his heart. The so named Mr. Franks, a so-called father figure for the lost adolescent left him believing, “when you forgive you love, and when you love, God’s light shines on you.” Christopher McCandless lived out his dreams, “no man with any juices of boyhood in him has forgotten those dreams. The peculiar thing…was that he went out and did the things he dreamed about, not simply for a two-weeks’ vacation in the civilized and trimmed wonderlands, but for months and years in the very midst of wonder…I now walk into the wild.”

Was given a free ticket to Goodwood , Cheers for that Dave !
Never been before so didn't quite know what to expect , what a great day I had took loads of shots and met some really nice people , lots of interest in my Lensbaby , seems like no one else was using one , so maybe my shots will be a little different .
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.
added these inserts to hide all of the stuff inside:) they aren't permanently attached yet...still deciding.
St Peter, Neatishead, Norfolk
Here we are in the gently rolling fields and woods to the west of Barton Broad, a gentle patchwork of small hamlets sprawling towards Hoveton. This area of Broadland is not touristy at all, but intensely agricultural, which is perhaps surprising given its proximity to Wroxham. But there is a feeling of remoteness. Neatishead is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, a large parish with several settlements and in one of them, Three Hammer Common, you find the church. At first sight this is a relatively insignificant little building set back from the road at the end of a long avenue of pollarded trees. However, the more you look at it the more interesting it gets, for what you see today is in fact merely the surviving chancel of what was once a vast church, stretching back as far as the road.
The church was probably the work of the 14th Century, and the surviving remnant was patched up in the 1790s. The tower had come down about a century earlier, and perhaps this was what damaged the nave beyond repair, although of course the change from an emphasis on private devotional worship to public congregational worship at the Reformation meant that parishes with a small population had no longer any need of a huge church, and there are many examples in East Anglia of aisles being demolished to make the nave smaller, and a couple of examples in Suffolk of the nave being demolished leaving only the chancel for worship, which is effectively what has happened here. No traces remain at all of the ruins.
Because of the date, the reimagining of the church was done with a preaching house rather than a sacramental building in mind. The entrance at the west end is simple and apparently old. Pevsner thought it might be a reuse of the original west doorway, but it is just as likely to have been a former south or north aisle entrance. Above it was reset a strange relief that is presumably the side of a former memorial tombchest. It serves no purpose and probably they did it just because it looked grand.
Inside, the overwhelming sense is of a well-kept, well-loved building. A watery light plays across dark wood and the font, a trim traceried work of the 14th Century which survives from the medieval church. Some of the woodwork also survives from the earlier church, including a 16th century pulpit and, most memorably, an unusual 15th Century bench end of what appears to be a gryphon holding a bearded head in its beak, probably a reference to St John the Baptist.
There are several glimpses of the life of Neatishead a century ago. A rare surviving Girls Friendly Society banner hangs at the west end. This Anglican society began in the years before the First World War to care for girls away from home in service. Surprisingly, it still survives today in a different form, working with girls in deprived areas. And the church has no less than three separate memorials to young men killed in the First World War. They were all in their mid-twenties.

the Maltese has been given many names, such as the "Melitae Dog," "Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta," the "Roman Ladies Dog," "The Comforter," the "Spaniel Gentle," the "Bichon," the "Maltese Lion Dog," and the "Maltese Terrier." Today, he is known simply as the Maltese.
This elegant toy dog breed is famed for the silky white hair covering his body. Straight and thick, the coat falls all the way to the floor. Many years ago, Maltese came in many colors, but these days they are always white. When a properly built Maltese moves, he seems to float beneath his cloud of white hair. Because he doesn't have an undercoat, the Maltese sheds little, and many people consider the breed to be hypoallergenic.
But the Maltese is more than his coat. Completing the picture is a slightly rounded skull, black nose, drop ears, dark, alert eyes, short, straight legs, and a graceful tail. He's a sweet, intelligent dog who is devoted to his people. And as one of the smallest of the toy breeds, he's well suited to apartment or condo living. Wherever he lives, the Maltese is responsive to his environment and makes an effective watchdog.

“Grace is the name given to a steel sculpture of a woman balanced in a yoga pose on a piece of rusted and barnacle encrusted cannery slag in Bellingham Bay. No one seems to know who created her, or put her in the middle of a lagoon, about 70 feet from a boardwalk. She just simply seemed to appear one day in March (2021) without permits or permission, her arm gently pointing toward the Salish Sea. . .” – Naseem Rakha at Medium.com
