Wisdom includes being in one's garden when the town is oveeflowing with Memorial Weekend extravaganza outdoors exploitations, with the sounds of blaring horns of cars whose owners haven't figured out how to stop them yet, and rock climbers, beer drinkers, kitsch buyers etc. etc. so the advice I was given is: make your yard your refuge. design it so in summer you can't see your neighbor's houses, avoid straight line, grow bird friendly bushes, lots of berries, and a cherry tree to drool over everey year...i't really hard to leave this Garden of Eden, as there's always something to pick , to plant, to trim, to separate, and with all, I play the creator, the decider...no time for Memorial Day Parties.

The Big Five: Elephants. Kruger Park. South Africa. Oct/2018
Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Three species are currently recognised: the African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African forest elephant (L. cyclotis), and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, members of the order include deinotheres, gomphotheres, mammoths, and mastodons.
All elephants have several distinctive features, the most notable of which is a long trunk (also called a proboscis), used for many purposes, particularly breathing, lifting water, and grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks, which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. Elephants' large ear flaps help to control their body temperature. Their pillar-like legs can carry their great weight. African elephants have larger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs.
Elephants are herbivorous and can be found in different habitats including savannahs, forests, deserts, and marshes. They prefer to stay near water. They are considered to be a keystone species due to their impact on their environments. Other animals tend to keep their distance from elephants while predators, such as lions, tigers, hyenas, and any wild dogs, usually target only young elephants (or "calves"). Elephants have a fission–fusion society in which multiple family groups come together to socialise. Females ("cows") tend to live in family groups, which can consist of one female with her calves or several related females with offspring. The groups are led by an individual known as the matriarch, often the oldest cow.
Males ("bulls") leave their family groups when they reach puberty and may live alone or with other males. Adult bulls mostly interact with family groups when looking for a mate and enter a state of increased testosterone and aggression known as musth, which helps them gain dominance and reproductive success. Calves are the centre of attention in their family groups and rely on their mothers for as long as three years. Elephants can live up to 70 years in the wild. They communicate by touch, sight, smell, and sound; elephants use infrasound, and seismic communication over long distances. Elephant intelligence has been compared with that of primates and cetaceans. They appear to have self-awareness and show empathyfor dying or dead individuals of their kind.
Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of around 20,000 square kilometres in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west.

Os elefantes são animais herbívoros, alimentando-se de ervas, gramíneas, frutas e folhas de árvores. Dado o seu tamanho, um elefante adulto pode ingerir entre 70 a 150 kg de alimentos por dia. As fêmeas vivem em manadas de 10 a 15 animais, lideradas por uma matriarca, compostas por várias reprodutoras e crias de variadas idades. O período de gestação das fêmeas é longo (20 a 22 meses), assim como o desenvolvimento do animal que leva anos a atingir a idade adulta. Os filhotes podem nascer com 90 kg. Os machos adolescentes tendem a viver em pequenos bandos e os machos adultos isolados, encontrando-se com as fêmeas apenas no período reprodutivo.
Devido ao seu porte, os elefantes têm poucos predadores. Exercem uma forte influência sobre as savanas, pois mantêm árvores e arbustos sob controle, permitindo que pastagens dominem o ambiente. Eles vivem cerca de 60 anos e morrem quando seus molares caem, impedindo que se alimentem de plantas.
Os elefantes-africanos são maiores que as variedades asiáticas e têm orelhas mais desenvolvidas, uma adaptação que permite libertar calor em condições de altas temperaturas. Outra diferença importante é a ausência de presas de marfim nas fêmeas dos elefantes asiáticos.
Durante a época de acasalamento, o aumento da produção de testosterona deixa os elefantes extremamente agressivos, fazendo-os atacar até humanos. Acidentes com elefantes utilizados em rituais geralmente são causados por esse motivo. Cerca de 400 humanos são mortos por elefantes a cada ano.
Elefante é o termo genérico e popular pelo qual são denominados os membros da família Elephantidae, um grupo de mamíferos proboscídeoselefantídeos, de grande porte, do qual há três espécies no mundo atual, duas africanas (Loxodonta sp.) e uma asiática (Elephas sp.). Há ainda os mamutes (Mammuthus sp.), hoje extintos. Até recentemente, acreditava-se que havia apenas duas espécies vivas de elefantes, o elefante-africano e o elefante-asiático, uma espécie menor. Entretanto, estudos recentes de DNA sugerem que havia, na verdade, duas espécies de elefante-africano: Loxodonta africana, da savana, e Loxodonta cyclotis, que vive nas florestas. Os elefantes são os maiores animais terrestres da actualidade, com a massa entre 4 a 6 toneladas e medindo em média quatro metros de altura, podem levantar até 10.000 kg. As suas características mais distintivas são as presas de marfim
O Parque Nacional Kruger é a maior área protegida de fauna bravia da África do Sul, cobrindo cerca de 20 000 km2. Está localizado no nordeste do país, nas províncias de Mpumalanga e Limpopo e tem uma extensão de cerca de 360 km de norte a sul e 65 km de leste a oeste.
Os parques nacionais africanos, nas regiões da savana africana são importantes pelo turismo com safári de observação e fotográfico.
O seu nome foi dado em homenagem a Stephanus Johannes Paul Kruger, último presidente da República Sul-Africana bôere. Foi criado em 31 de Maio de 1926

Each house includes a DuPont StormRoom. It is comprised of a sandwich of foam, Kevlar, and plywood. It's rated to survive a Cat 5 hurricane, and I think the feller installing it said they can withstand an EF5 tornado as well. The ones in Joplin survived.
The logo on the rooms was covered during filming. Even though the rooms were donated, DuPont didn't pay for advertising, so they don't get product placement rights.

1 Candy Cane Circle
"Hansel and Gretel¹s dream house!"
Make this delicious beauty your new home! Built using the most sustainable of candy craftsmanship, this decadent abode includes a rain barrel water-collection system, large windows and a skylight for natural lighting, a solar-powered water heater, a green roof, and indigenous landscaping. A one-level ranch is also accessible, it will age gracefully along with you. This cozy fairytale home measures around 60 square inches - perfect for your ginger family!
Few homes can boast of such robust construction, known in the industry as "C.O.B." (Confections Over (ginger)Bread); hearty gingerbread walls and royal icing mortar provide a sound foundation for the chocolate brickwork on all 4 sides, all of which means sound insulation and lower heating bills!
The roof is covered with green sprinkle sedum, which gets ample light, sharing space with the passive solar panels for the water heater, and promotes drainage into the cookie gutters that flow into the pretzel stick barrel. This gray water system has proven ideal for the gumdrop garden that surrounds the home on all sides.
A candyman¹s special this one won't last long! Serious inquiries from ginger people only please.

An afternoon of tinkering with the Alfa. An upgrade of sorts, adding a hazard warning light switch and associated wiring. A worthwhile modernisation, especially given the increase in smart motorways, with no hard shoulder. Luckily, I could mount the switch in a spare hole in the dashboard, previously blanked off with a rubber bung.
The other switch is a dimmer for the instrument panel, which takes it from dim to even dimmer.

Daucus carota (common names include wild carrot, (UK) bird's nest, bishop's lace, and (US) Queen Anne's lace) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe, southwest Asia and naturalised to northeast North America and Australia; domesticated carrots are cultivars of a subspecies, Daucus carota subsp. sativus.
Daucus carota is a variable biennial plant, usually growing up to 1 m tall and flowering from June to August. The umbels are claret-coloured or pale pink before they open, then bright white and rounded when in full flower, measuring 3–7 cm wide with a festoon of bracts beneath; finally, as they turn to seed, they contract and become concave like a bird's nest. The dried umbels detach from the plant, becoming tumbleweeds.[1]
Very similar in appearance to the deadly poison hemlock, Daucus carota is distinguished by a mix of bi-pinnate and tri-pinnate leaves, fine hairs on its stems and leaves, a root that smells like carrots, and occasionally a single dark red flower in its centre....Wikipedia
Work includes new window installation, flooring prep for new carpet in open offices and construction of new stair in expanded core.

The SMUD Headquarters is truly a landmark of mid-century modern design. After 60 years of continuous use, a complete renovation is in process of their headquarters building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Restoration work included paring the building back to its steel structure, upgrading all dated materials and systems. Glazing, solar shades, precast concrete and Wayne Thiebaud’s mosaic tile mural Water City, were also be carefully preserved; new efficient lighting and HVAC and data systems have been fully integrated to bring this iconic headquarters into the 21st century.
Also included in this renovation are site and landscape improvements designed to historically maintain significant site features.
Khiva (Uzbek: Xiva/Хива, خىۋا; Persian: خیوه, Xīveh; Russian: Хива; alternative or historical names include Khorasam, Khoresm, Khwarezm, Khwarizm, Khwarazm, Chorezm, and Persian: خوارزم) is a city of approximately 50,000 people located in Xorazm Region, Uzbekistan. According to archaeological data, the city was established in the beginning of the Christian era.[1] It is the former capital of Khwarezmia and the Khanate of Khiva. Itchan Kala in Khiva was the first site in Uzbekistan to be inscribed in the World Heritage List (1991)
Khiva is split into two parts. The outer town, called Dichan Kala, was formerly protected by a wall with 11 gates. The inner town, or Itchan Kala, is encircled by brick walls, whose foundations are believed to have been laid in the 10th century. Present-day crenellated walls date back to the late 17th century and attain the height of 10 meters.
The large blue tower in the central city square was supposed to be a minaret, but the Khan died and the succeeding Khan did not complete it.
The old town retains more than 50 historic monuments and 250 old houses, mostly dating from the 18th or the 19th centuries. Djuma Mosque, for instance, was established in the 10th century and rebuilt in 1788-89, although its celebrated hypostyle hall still retains 112 columns taken from ancient structures.

The property includes a selection of eleven penal sites, among the thousands established by the British Empire on Australian soil in the 18th and 19th centuries. The sites are spread across Australia, from Fremantle in Western Australia to Kingston and Arthur's Vale on Norfolk Island in the east; and from areas around Sydney in New South Wales in the north, to sites located in Tasmania in the south. Around 166,000 men, women and children were sent to Australia over 80 years between 1787 and 1868, condemned by British justice to transportation to the convict colonies. Each of the sites had a specific purpose, in terms both of punitive imprisonment and of rehabilitation through forced labour to help build the colony. The Australian Convict Sites presents the best surviving examples of large-scale convict transportation and the colonial expansion of European powers through the presence and labour of convicts.
Our itinerary today was designed to include many of the lesser known and visited temples of the Angkor archaeological park since we were due to visit the more major ones over the following days. All these sites would be major attractions in their own right anywhere else, but in Angkor there is simply too much for the regular visitor to take in, but since we're not regular visitors we aimed to try our best regardless!
Our second stop was Pre Rup, one of the earlier temples of Angkor dating back to the 10th century when the state religion was still Hinduism, thus the shrine was originally dedicated to the god Shiva.
The temple forms a 'temple-mountain', a type of structure found at several sites in Angkor where the shrine is formed by a succession of raised terraces (accessed by very steep and narrow stairs) with the main focus being on a group of gopura towers at the summit of what otherwise appears to be a truncated pyramid, Here the main materials were brick and rough red laterite stone for the bulk of the structure with the sandstone best suited to fine carving used only for doorways and lintels. Much more ornamentations was originally added in stucco over the brickwork of the towers, but most of this has been lost over time, leaving a few sections and figures at the upper level to indicate how much richer the original effect would have been.
Pre Rup is an impressive site and well worth exploring and ascending its upper levels, if one can cope with the climb (ascending many of the taller Angkor temples is not for the faint hearted!). It hasn't the riot of decoration found in the later temples but the select areas where it is used are fine quality and reward seeking out.
Includes Peplum, Belt, and Petticoat.

Volatinia jacarina
(Linnaeus, 1766)
The Blue-black Grassquit, Volatinia jacarina, is a small bird of the family Emberizidae, which also includes the buntings. It breeds from southern Mexico through Central America, and South America as far as northern Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, and on Trinidad and Tobago. It is the only member of the genus Volatinia.
This is a common bird in semi-open areas, including cultivation and gardens. It makes a small cup nest, with a typical clutch of one to three pale green eggs blotched with reddish brown. Both sexes incubate for 9–10 days, with about the same period again for the young to fledge.
Adult Blue-black Grassquits are 10.2cm long and weigh 9.3g. They have a slender conical black bill. The male is glossy blue-black, with a black tail and wings; the white inner underwing is visible in flight or display. Female and immature birds have brown upperparts and dark-streaked buff underparts.
Blue-black Grassquit feeds mainly on seeds. It is quite gregarious, and forms communal evening roosts.
The male has a jumping display, often performed for long periods, which gives rise to the local name Johnny Jump-up. This is accompanied by a persistent wheezing jweeee call.
Um texto em português:
O Tiziu, nome vulgar utilizado para identificar Volatinia jacarina, é um passarinho da Família Emberizidae, que mede cerca de 11,4cm. Estes pequenos pássaros são vistos com grande freqüência, geralmente aos pares, em áreas alteradas, descampados, savanas, campos e capoeiras baixas da América do Sul, exceto no extremo sul. Alimentam-se principalmente de sementes verdes, encontradas no próprio colmo das gramíneas ou no chão, ou de insetos. Adultos e jovens, fora da época reprodutiva, são pardo-oliváceos no dorso e levemente amarelados no abdômen, com estrias no peito e flancos. Os machos adultos, durante a época de acasalamento, assumem uma brilhante plumagem nupcial preto-azulada, com uma mancha branca nas penas axilares. Estes são facilmente reconhecidos nesse período pois, além da coloração nupcial vistosa, executam uma exibição que consiste de pequenos vôos verticais, ao mesmo tempo em que fazem vocalização da qual resultou seu nome: "tis-ziu". o vôo é repetido seguidamente, sobre o mesmo puleiro, em média cerca de 12 a 14 vezes por minuto, e com pequenos intervalos entre as repetições. Essa exibição é executada principalmente durante a época reprodutiva: todo ano em Belém, no Pará, e restrito ao verão em regiões meridionais, em função da alteração na oferta de recursos alimentares. Através das exibições, os machos delimitam seus pequenos territórios, que podem variar de cerca de 13 a 73m2, também atraindo as fêmeas para o acasalamento. O ninho, feito com raízes emaranhadas e com formato de taça, é construído dentro do território do macho, sempre a 50cm ou menos do chão, recebendo normalmente uma postura de dois ovos. Tanto o macho quanto a fêmea participam dos cuidados com os filhotes.
Os vários nomes vulgares deste pássaro, como tiziu, bate-estaca, serrador e serra-serra, fazem alusão ao canto e ao pulo vertical de cerca de 1 m que o macho executa na época da reprodução, partindo de um galho seco. Durante estes saltos, ele canta, bate as asas, expões a mancha branca das penas axilares e produz um ruído característico com as rêmiges. O macho delimita um território tão pequeno que está entre os menores observados para os pássaros. É uma espécie migratória, desaparecendo de São Paulo durante o inverno.
JULIANA BOSI DE ALMEIDA Programa de Pós-graduação em Ecologia Universidade de Brasília
o macho adulto é inconfundível por ser todo preto, exceto por uma pequena mancha branca na parte inferior das asas, já as fêmeas e imaturos são quase idênticas a várias outras espécies da família, especialmente às fêmeas dos papa-capins ( gênero Sporophila ).
Espécie muito conhecida em nosso país, principalmente pelo hábito dos machos fazerem apresentações de corte e defesa do território boa parte do ano. Estas apresentações são geralmente feitas a partir de poleiros não muito altos como mourões de cerca e arbustos. O macho voa verticalmente cerca de 60cm e em seguida solta o corpo, mostrando as manchas brancas nas asas e retornando ao poleiro. Esses movimentos são muito rápidos e repetitivos e a ave vocaliza enquanto voa, lembrando seu nome popular ``tiziu´´.
Alimenta-se principalmente de sementes de gramíneas como a braquiária, mas também captura insetos.
É muito comum nas áreas rurais e também em cidades, especialmente em terrenos baldios.
A fêmea constrói o ninho em forma de bola entrelaçando gravetos finos e folhas de gramíneas. Geralmente são postos 3 ovos. Os pais se revezam na alimentação dos filhotes. A mesma fêmea pode ter mais de uma cria no mesmo ano.
The Tiziu, popular name for the Volatinia jacarina, is a bird of the Emberizidae family, whose size is 11.4 centimeters. These small birds, usually in pairs, are frequently seen in plains, prairies, open fields and cleared tracts of land in South America, except in its Southernmost part. They feed mainly upon insects or green seeds, which are collected in the stem of gramineous plants or on the ground. Whenever they are out of their reproductive season, the adult and young bird's back looks dark gray with shades of olive green, while its abdomen looks yellowish with lines on the chest and flank. During their breeding season, the adult male takes up a shiny bluish black nuptial feathering, with white spots in the axillary feathers. They are easily recognized in this period because, besides wearing their showy nuptial feathering, they perform vertical flights, while singing the sound they are named for: "tis-ziu". These flights are repeated over the same spot, at a rate of 12 to 14 times a minute, with short intervals among them. This performance takes place mainly during their reproductive season, which lasts basically all year round in Belém, State of Pará, and is restricted to the summertime in Southern regions. due to variations in food resource. Through these performances, males draw the lines of their small territories, which may range from 13 to 73 square meters, and also attract females for breeding. The nest is built with woven roots in the shape of a cup. It is within the male's territory, always up to 50-centimeter high, and usually receives an offspring of two eggs. Both male and female take part in looking after their issue.

The gardens include some glasshouses of architectural importance, such as the Palm House and the Curvilinear Range.
The Curvilinear Range was completed in 1848 by Richard Turner, an Irish iron-founder and pioneer in the constructional use of wrought iron; it was extended in the late 1860s. This structure, and the nearby Palm House (built 1884), have been restored (using some surplus contemporary structural ironwork from Kew Gardens) and this work attracted the Europa Nostra award for excellence in conservation architecture.

I wouldn't normally include a bird that was in aviary enclosure, but I have wanted to see a Harpy Eagle up close for a long time. This might be my only opportunity to ever see one with my own eyes. It is an incredible bird!
In Brazil, the Harpy Eagle is also known as royal-hawk (in Portuguese: gavião-real). They are monogamous and pair-bonds last for life.
The species name 'harpyja' and the word 'harpy' in the common name Harpy eagle both come from Ancient Greek 'harpyia'. They refer to the Harpies of Ancient Greek mythology. These were wind spirits and were said to have a body like a vulture and the face of a woman. (hmm, I object to that!)
Harpy eagles possess the largest talons of any living eagle and are able to lift prey up to equal their own body weight.
(89-99cm / 35-39") Females are bigger than males!
Harpy eagles may measure from 34-42" (86.5 to 107cm) in total length. They have a wingspan of 5'9" inches to 7'4" (176 to 224cm). The average talon size in males are 3.4" (8.6cm) in males, and 4.8" (12.3cm) in females.
Female harpy eagles typically weigh 13-20 lbs. (6-9 kg)
Male Harpy Eagles weigh 8.8 to 13.2 lbs (4 to 6 kg)
Sutton Panoramic camera with water-filled lens, about 1861. Includes a Silvy roll-holder back and a water-filled integral spirit level. No manufacturer's plate but probably Thomas Ross of London.
Info from the Science Museum London:
Thomas Sutton (1819-1875) graduated twenty-seventh Wrangler at Cambridge University in 1846. The following year he moved to Jersey where he opened a well-known photographic studio under the patronage of Prince Albert. In 1856 he founded the magazine Photographic Notes. Apart from his liquid lens, Sutton invented the first reflex camera in 1861 and also worked on the development of dry photographic plates, an innovation often associated with Richard Leach Maddox. He returned to England in 1874 and died at Pwllheli in Wales in the following year.
For his panoramic lens, Sutton was initially inspired by one of the ‘snowstorm’ souvenirs popular with the Victorian tourist. With one brought home from Paris, he observed how images were projected onto the curved glass surface by light passing through the water-filled sphere. This led to his discovery that a sphere of glass filled with water could be made into a wide-angle lens.
In order to make it more suited to photography, Sutton introduced into the centre of his lens a butterfly-shaped diaphragm to equalize the exposure over the whole angular field. The field of view could be up to 120°, but was reduced somewhat to cut down on distortion caused by spherical and chromatic aberrations.
The London camera maker, Frederick Cox, began the manufacture of Sutton’s lens and a camera for use with it in January 1860. By November Cox was advertising the camera as being available in four sizes, of which the most expensive, using curved photographic plates of 6 × 15 inches, cost £26. However, the manufacture of the water-filled lenses gave Cox many difficulties and he sold very few cameras, perhaps not more than half a dozen.
In January 1861 Sutton announced that the manufacture of his lens would be taken over by Thomas Ross, one of the earliest members of the Royal Photographic Society, operating at that time from the Featherstone Buildings in High Holborn. Ross had his first panoramic camera ready by the beginning of May 1861, with a considerably improved lens.
Ross purchased Sutton’s lens patent from him in August and by November was advertising the camera in a total of three different sizes. He was evidently proud of his achievement, choosing to describe the camera in a lecture to the Royal Photographic Society on the 3rd December, but his sales may not have been much better than Cox’s. The London firm of Bland & Co subsequently advertised the camera and kit, but they ceased business in 1864, when their entire stock of photographic material and optical and meteorological instruments was taken over by Negretti and Zambra.
The panoramic camera in the Museum’s collection is signed ‘Sutton’s Patent Panoramic Lens, made by T. ROSS, London. N1 234’. Apart from its curved back, with curved focusing screen, plate holder and glass plate, it is essentially just a conventional mahogany box camera, 250 × 270 × 210 mm in size. This was the smallest in Ross’s range and sold for £22.
The lens is fitted with a central stop of f12 and the shutter is of a very simple construction, consisting of a mahogany flap that hinges in front of the lens. Focusing is by means of a screw situated at the back, and there are spirit levels to ensure that the camera is horizontal. The kit supplied by Ross included a tripod and carrying case, curved sensitizing baths and twelve glass plates. Panoramic prints on paper were made from the glass negatives by using a curved printing frame.
One of Ross’s first customers was Camille Silvy, aristocrat, diplomat and keen amateur photographer turned professional. While on diplomatic service in London in 1859, Silvy bought a grand house in Porchester Terrace which he turned into a fashionable portrait studio, becoming one of the most sought-after society photographers. Cecil Beaton gave him the title the ‘Gainsborough of commercial photographers’ and high society vied to be among his sitters.
Silvy was noted for his use of innovative techniques, not just in portrait work but in landscape photography. One technique that he exploited was to combine different negatives for the sky and the ground in the creation of artistic scenes. Panoramic photography was therefore a natural choice for him to experiment with.
Although little is currently known about the work Silvy undertook, he must have viewed it as having some promise, since in 1867 he patented a roll film holder for the Ross camera, an example of which is preserved in the collections of the National Museum of Science and Industry. By using roll film he would have been able to circumvent many of the problems inherent in curved glass plates and thus open up fully the creative possibilities that Sutton’s panoramic lens had to offer.
Studio 26, assignment on creative thinking -- -- a shot to include three objects assigned to me by someone else: ice or snow, a pine cone, & the letter A.
I did so enjoy this assignment! Kind of like a cross between a puzzle & a still life. And it was hard to settle on one favorite. This one was fun & also tricky to assemble, as the icicles were slippery & not very stable. They do seem emblematic to me of how our winter has been. And I'm wondering what Dave [https://www.flickr.com/photos/46709051@N03] had in mind when he assigned me the letter A.
(Cropped for compositional reasons -- though I know we were supposed to do minimal processing.)
Set of my various approaches:
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler, III recently visited the Camp Zama installation on a tour of Japan and Korea. Chandler met with Camp Zama’s senior leaders to include Gen. James C. Boozer and Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie, the commander and command sergeant major of U.S. Army Japan and I Corps (Forward) respectively. Chandler spent time talking with Soldiers, USARJ and Japan Ground Self Defense Force senior leaders and touring the Edo Museum in Tokyo. Before departing Camp Zama, Chandler conducted a roundtable discussion with enlisted senior leaders to address the importance of leadership in the U.S. Army. (U.S. Army photos by Yuichi Imada)

This is a photograph from the Forest Marathon festival 2013 which was held in the beautiful Coillte forest of Portumna in Co. Galway, Ireland on Saturday 15th June 2013. The event includes a 10k, a full marathon, a half marathon and two ultra-running events - a 50k and 100k race. The races started at 08:00 with the 100KM, the 50KM at 10:00, and subsequent races at two hour intervals onwards. All events started and finished within the forest with the exception of the half marathon and marathon which started outside of the forest. All events see participants complete 5KM loops of the forest which start and end at the car-park/amenity end of the forest. There is an official Refreshment/Handling Zones at this point on the loop.
The event was organised by international coach Sebastien Locteau from SportsIreland.ie and his fantastic team of volunteers from Galway and beyond. Congratulations to Seb on organising a very professionally run event and an event which is growing bigger and more prestigious with each passing year. There was an incredible atmosphere amongst the runners, the spectators, and the organisers. Hats off to everyone involved.
The marathon, 50KM, and 100KM events are sanctioned by Athletics Ireland and AIMS (the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races). The event has also achieved IAU (International Association of Ultrarunners) Bronze Label status for 2013.

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 www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
