I wold have explored the architecture of the Palau de les arts Reina Sofia.
All you get is a quick snap of part of the building taken whilst I was out for a smoke.
This concert was given to celebrate the life, career and talent of Oldham Music Service's late Head of Strings and Deputy Head, Peter Martin.
Almost all of the programme was selected from his compositions and arrangements with performances given by the current players as well as a 'Reunion Orchestra' formed of current Youth Orhcestra members and returning ex-members that had known and learnt with Peter. This final group was delighted to play Peter's 2015 commission, Saddleworth Festival Dances, which brought the concert to a rousing and greatly appreciated conclusion.

Old fashioned dimmer switch has dimmed it's last. Not being a fan of electrickery nor or it's little handmaidens of doom I thought it best to label the wires before essaying it's replacement.
It seems the whole room was once painted a somewhat daunting shade of Rectory Red.
Volex, trhe original makers of te switch are now "your total global solution for data and power". And if that doesn't put the lights out I don't know what will.
Anyway, along with Wylex, Crabtree et al it's all be subsumed by the omnipresent Siemens Group.

Kollosus, given name Kirk Young, was born in Jamaica and moved to America as a young teen. This timely transition in cultures offered him what has proven to be the best of both worlds in music, arts and entertainment. His rhythmic hip hop style and his staccato reggae flow give him a unique swag that compares to none. This combination makes him an excellent artist for the international market. Kollosus has strong work ethic, determination and strives for perfection. To quote him, “I have always been willing to do what needed to be done to be on top of everything I do, and I have set the mode to be on top of the music game. Right now, where I sit, I cannot see anything but sunshine and clear skies. Relax and take notes.”
Currently, Kollosus is an independent artist working with Gary “DJ Caesah” DaCosta of Soundproof Records in partnership with KBM “Known Business Men”, Kollosus’ own company. Kollosus’ new single Foreign, which features Future, is currently ripping the clubs and airwaves in the southeast. Foreign is a colossal leap from Kollosus first major feature, which was on “What Is It” starring Rick Ross and Gorilla Zoe, and solidifies his position as the next major player in hip hop.
Kollosus is well respected in the industry and has contributions from some of supreme artists and producers including, but not limited to; Gucci Mane (feat “Setting Standards”), Travis Porter (feat “Swing”), Rock City (feat “One Day”), Young Scooter (feat “Cash Out”), Cool and Dre, DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, Zytoven, F.L. Y., Young Jeezy, and Gorilla Zoe.
He’s able to leap continents in a single verse. Is it hip hop? Is it reggae? No, it’s Kollosus, the International Hip Hop Hero and his secret weapon is Super Flow.

The CPMR’s Intermediterranean Commission (IMC) has given its full backing to key plans for a territorial alliance aimed at developing a long-term strategy to build a sustainable future for all citizens in the Mediterranean.
The ‘Mediterranean Cooperation Alliance Joint Declaration’ was signed by political representatives from 5 Mediterranean organisations - including the IMC, the Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée (EPM), MedCities, Latin Arc, and the Adriatic-Ionian Euroregion - at a major international seminar on ‘The Future of the Mediterranean Region after 2020’, held in Barcelona on 4 February being co-organized by the Catalan Government, the EPM and the IMC and attended by more than 200 participants.
This event and signature were performed in the broader framework of the “Mediterranean Catalonia Forum,” that focused on reinforcing the importance of the Mediterranean worldwide and the crucial role of regional cooperation in the EU and Euro-Mediterranean agenda and policies.
It was held back-to-back with the renewal of the Presidency of the Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée, from the Government of Catalonia to the Balearic Islands, and the organisation of the CPMR Intermediterranean Commission Political Bureau.
The signature of the “Mediterranean Cooperation Alliance” was attended in particular by politicians of all the involved networks and will remain open for other key actors to endorse it in the future.
Its priorities, among others, are as follows:
• The demands that governing institutions – considering the post-2020 horizon and the two next programming periods – work harder towards the implementation and integration of emerging sea basin, macro-regional strategies and other connected initiatives and cooperation instruments, so as to build a common, more cohesive sustainable and co-owned Mediterranean macro-region involving all the territorial actors;
• Structuring a strong and operational multi-level and multi-stakeholder network, in order to work – together with EU and Euro-Mediterranean Institutions - in a more integrated way in the long run, to design and develop common projects and to support policies based on capitalization of results (e.g. from the Interreg MED Thematic Communities);
• Offering firm support to cooperation at political and technical levels between regional and local stakeholders in the EU, the IPA countries and non-European Mediterranean partner countries, as well as among all the components of the four helix: public and private sector, academia and non-governmental organizations/civil society.
Given the alternating heavy showers and brilliant sunshine this afternoon, rainbows were inevitable.
Given a good trailer, you can launch a Drascombe onto grass and recover it - by hand. Why would you want to? Perhaps so that you can get the centre plate out (in this case, to send it to be re-galvanised). If the mast is in place and properly stayed, you can put your weight on the main halyard to tip the boat onto her beam ends. See also www.flickr.com/photos/jandsw/26204317774

George Wright was an artist who lived in Annan for many years. This sketchbook was given to a young child to draw on in the 1920’s. This wee girl is now a grandmother and has kindly allowed me to copy the book and make the images available on-line. Thankfully her mother saw the significance of the book and did not allow her to draw in the book. We all hope you enjoy looking at these lovely sketches, which include locations around Annan and in the Scottish Borders.

Given that our hiking group is heading back to the Grand Canyon tomorrow for a 25-mile Rim-to-Rim hike, I thought I'd post some shots from our May hike in the Canyon. This is our campsite for day two at Boucher Creek, just a mile and a half up from the river.
Photo was taken from US Hwy.14 south of Sheridan , Wyoming . ( 11 of 25 this set )
Shot given , and brand applied.
This wonderful photo was given by Paw Paw Elvis to my mom as a gift. This is more how I remember him from the early 90s, though this photo may be from the mid-to-late 90s when he was living in Dowagiac. He's owned and decorated several "art cars," though I doubt he's called them that. A local treasure!
Given recent discussions, I'm not entirely sure about putting this photo in the Bristol pool. I mean, it's a photo taken in Bristol, of an outdoor view visible in Bristol, but I'll admit the subject does lie a teensy bit outside the Bristol postcode area, for example.
Is this a uniquely Bristolian view of the moon? I had to crop out a Bristolian telephone wire...
For anyone interested, here's Wikipedia's entry on the near side of the moon.
a present given to me at the bar on a night that i felt so stupidly lonely surrounded by friends, so once home i kept going to my living room to look at it so i could tell my brain to shut the fuck up. a pillow from toto, who i tried to convince to get a flickr account since her artwork is Amazing...she has a blog and hopefully when we hang out when i'm not working she'll tell me what it is and we won't be too drunk that i don't remember.
After eight months of designing, building and testing, the middle school, high school and college and university teams launched their rockets as part of NASA Student Launch on Saturday, April 6. The rockets and their payloads are designed to fly to between 4,000 and 5,500 feet in altitude before deploying recovery systems that brings them safely to the ground.

Given the camo upper body, the underside is surprising. Shot helped by strong aquarium lighting and some PS magic.
Due to objections received, as stated on the overlaid sticker, the line didn't close when originally planned and soldiered on for another three years. It would never have closed at all nowadays.

Given the almost 90-degree heat, fans were happy for a rather quick moving game to that point with low pitch counts for both hurlers.
Just when I had almost given up hope, our super said a package came for me. :^)
Now, Kaiser's free cap fits him much better than my free cap fits me.
How well will yours fit? Go get one from www.doomanddickson.nl/!

The Postcard
A postally unused card bearing an early image of a calf hiding behind its parent.
There is no publisher's name on the card.
Percy Shelley
The quotation on the card is drawn from 'Prometheus Unbound' by Percy Bysshe Shelley (not Shelly!).
Shelley was born in 1792, and sadly died young in 1822, having lived for only 29 years, 11 months and 5 days, or, to put it another way, 10,930 days.
'Prometheus Unbound' was published in 1820.
The quotation, which is from Act II, Scene V, is spoken by the character Asia. In context, it is as follows:
'All love is sweet,
Given or returned. Common as light is love,
And its familiar voice wearies not ever.
Like the wide heaven, the all-sustaining air,
It makes the reptile equal to God;
They who inspire it most are fortunate,
As I am now; but those who feel it most
Are happier still'.
Further Thoughts From Percy Shelley
"The soul's joy lies in doing."
"I have drunken deep of joy, And
I will taste no other wine tonight."
"A poet is a nightingale, who sits in
darkness and sings to cheer its own
solitude with sweet sounds."
"War is the statesman's game, the
priest's delight, the lawyer's jest,
the hired assassin's trade."
"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips."
"Fear not for the future,
weep not for the past."
"Our sincerest laughter with some
pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs
are those that tell of saddest thought."
"O, wind, if winter comes, can
can spring be far behind?"
