Approximate indication of the location of the warehouse: find the red dot. The little black square in the left of the map is the exact centre of amsterdam. North of that, you'll find central station. The island north of the red dot is Java-island.
This whole area 'Oostelijk Handelsgebied' used to be a harbour and is now famous for its modern dutch architecture.
This is one the most densely populated areas in the Netherlands, although you would certainly not have that feeling, because of smart periferal and architectural design.

The Postcard
A postally unused Sunbeam Series postcard that has a divided back.
There are no indications as to the identity of the ladies, who look like mother and daughter, or the date and location of the photograph.
Walking Pictures
The two ladies would have been approached by a speculative photographer and asked if they would like to have their photograph taken. This genre of photography is known as a 'Walking Picture' or 'Walking Photograph'.
Commercial street photographers in seaside or tourist towns would snap away at holiday makers offering them the chance to call later at the studio to pick up a print of their photograph.
Such photographs were generally taken while an individual or group was literally walking along, although they were sometimes engaged in other activities, e.g. sitting on a bench or on the beach, bathing in the sea, or even riding a donkey.
These walking pictures were also offered to the customer as postcards for them to send back home to friends and relatives.
Sunbeam
Sunbeam specialised in taking walking pictures, and on a busy day its large team of photographers would take many thousands of images.
gohomeonapostcard.wordpress.com tell us the following about Sunbeam:
John Milton Worssell began taking photographs of bathers and people on the beach in Margate around 1912. After WW1 he took over an existing business run by G E Houghton in 1919 and named it The Sunbeam Photograph Ltd. His wife ran the sales kiosk.
As the popularity of seaside souvenir photographs grew, Sunbeam expanded, with help from Frederick Lewis Pettman (Mayor of Margate 1932-1934), who owned trading rights along the coast and offered to fund expansion and help pay for a new lab.
Sunbeam then moved into other towns along this part of the East Kent coast including Westgate, Cliftonville, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. It’s possible they expanded by taking over smaller businesses. Certainly there were other operators in some of these towns, with W. P. Dobbs, Remington’s Fotosnaps, J. Easton Snaps and Walker’s Holiday Snaps operating in and around Margate in the 1920’s.
Sunbeam also opened in Folkestone, with a photo office on the promenade ‘near the fish market’.
At their peak Sunbeam (often referred to by workers simply as The Beam) employed up to 300 people, many on a seasonal basis.
The company started using large format cameras and glass plate negatives, moving to single postcard size paper negatives around 1929.
From 1934 or so they were using Thornton Pickard cameras which were fitted with new paper negative roll holders. These could take up to 100 postcard size images. Anthony Lane has figures which suggest Sunbeam could take around 35,000 walking images on a busy Bank Holiday before the war, with cameraman Dickie Tombs taking 3,000 on a single day at Ramsgate.
The thinking was that the more images taken, the more sales were likely. Every hour the rolls would be collected by car and taken back to the labs for processing.
The finished prints would be taken out to a Sunbeam kiosk (there appear to have been several, including one cut into the rock at Palm Bay in Cliftonville), where holiday-makers could view the results and find their own photo.
In 1946 numbered tickets began to be handed out, and by producing your paper slip with the reference number the following day, you could see and purchase your photograph. You could also order further copies by post later, though we have no details of how Sunbeam archived the originals or for how long.
At first reference numbers were scratched into the glass plates, then done in ink on the card negatives. Later the darkroom staff used numbering machines to identify each frame. The reflex cameras were all numbered as well, and this number was cut out in brass and fixed inside the camera so it showed in the edge negative and could be tied to the photographer’s shift.
Sunbeam’s first office was in Dane Hill, before they moved to a shop with cellars round the corner at 156 Northdown Road. Their main office (and lab?) was later opened at 82 Sweyn Road in 1925 (thought to be the first purpose built film processing works in the country), At some stage (pre 1953) they had a big lab at Rosedale Road.
John Milton Worssell's two sons Jack and Richard came into the business full time after WW2. Jack took over a walkie business in Hove and later had a kiosk on Brighton pier, while Dick ran the Margate end.
Sunbeam developed their own camera design, around fifty of these were made and they used these until at least 1959, although standard 35mm Leica cameras came in around 1948 for other types of work.
In 1957 the firm was charging 2/- for a postcard print (or 2/9d for two half postcard prints – on a postcard). They offered enlargements up to 8″ by 6″, and even prints ‘finished in solid water colours’, which may mean hand coloured postcards.
The company moved on to offer small colour walkies in 1964 at 5/-. The firm used half frame 35mm Olympus Pen cameras for this colour work, and most of their old black and white machinery was scrapped.
Some female camera operators were also used from around 1959. During the off-season, Sunbeam concentrated on more traditional studio portrait work, as well as scenic photographs and material for newspapers. They offered wedding photography, and to cover conferences, parties, school sports days, etc.
For most of the firm’s life Sunbeam also had a changing collection of animal props including a life size felt donkey, large cats and dogs, and a real stuffed tiger, which were placed in suitable locations. Children (and often adults!) would sit on these to have their portrait taken.
The family decided to retire, and the company was bought out in 1972 by LRC plc and then taken over by United Photographic Laboratories (based in Wiltshire) along with other labs owned by LRC in 1974, to streamline the amateur photographic processing trade.
We do not know exactly when Sunbeam finished with the walkie trade, but assume during the 1960's. UPL closed the firm in 1975.
Cloche Hats
There is no date on the card, although it is obvious that the photograph was taken in the 1920's when there was a fashion for women to wear cloche hats that looked like inverted flower pots.
Cloche hats of the type worn by the daughter were the most fashionable form of women's headgear during the 1920's.
They were close-fitting, helmet-shaped hats that hugged the skull. They had deep rounded crowns with no brim, or just a small curve at the edge. Cloche means bell in French, and these hats were so-named because they resembled large bells.
By the end of the 1920's, it had became fashionable to turn the brims on cloche hats upwards.

This is a photograph from start of the fifth annual running of the AON Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Sunday 17th March 2019 (St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2019) in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photographs have been taken at Millie Walsh's bridge on the old Dublin Road. Following on from the incredible success of the first four years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016, over 1200 in 2017 and yet again over 1200 in 2018. This year over 1,500 people took part. Proceeds raised by the AON Mullingar Half Marathon will go directly to T.E.A.M (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands) finding safe & secure accommodation for homeless women and children. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year except for the weather. Last year's bitterly cold day was replaced by a wet and windy today with temperatures suitable for running. The wind had a significant impact on the race with the first 8 miles eastwards having the benefit of a strong westerly wind for the runners. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong headwind for 4 - 5 miles from around Flynn's Machinery/Junction 14 M4. To give some indication of wind strength - on the Royal Canal around mile 10 the canal was level with the bank due to recent rain. But the wind was actually blowing the canal water onto the canal pathway creating a small flood for runners to run through.
<
The weather didn't stop the race growing in size again. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel. The frequent heavy rain showers around midday onwards didn't allow participants to linger too long after their races had finished.
Timing and event management was provided by www.myrunresults.com/. Their website is here [www.myrunresults.com/] and will contain the results to today's race.

Zihuatanejo is our go to fall vacation for the past 29 years.
The city is a Pueblo Magico of Mexico added to the ever growing list in 2023.
As of 01 August, 2023, there are 177 Pueblos Magicos in Mexico. IMO the program has lost some of its original significance, maybe too much political influence in adding locations?
A Pueblo Magico is a Mexican town granted Pueblo Magico status by the Mexican government for its “magical” qualities. This could be its beauty, historical importance, or its natural wonders.
Ultimately, the term “Pueblo Magico” is supposedly a mark of excellence and an indication the town is worth exploring for a day or two.
The Pueblo Magico Program was created by Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism in 2001.
Initially, there were three Pueblos Magicos: Huasca de Ocampo in Hidalgo, Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi, and Tepoztlan in Morelos.
The Renault Avantime was produced to give an indication of Renault's future styling direction. A nice features of this car is the two-tone colour scheme, perhaps because it is rare to see, or perhaps because the colour scheme works well with the window lines. The use of glass is also very important to the car's success. The vertical curved rear window, the long side window and the glass roof all contribute to the effect. A window like the rear one here is expensive to produce. The structure separating the glass roof and the long side window is clever and strong. The shape of the Avantime is a very clever mix of saloon (sedan) and people-carrier. It doesn't have the typical blob shape of a people-carrier but cannot be described as a typical car either. The c-pillar where the two colours meet is generously sized pointing to a luxury family car. The overall feel of this car is one of clean but well thought-out shapes.
The MGB defined the meaning and character of the sports car, and gave it life. My MGB proved to be a fun to drive performance car, that is easy to maintain, and inexpensive to own. No other sports car makes such eminently good sense, which is why there are so many MGB's in regular use. But there's more to a MGB than commonsense practicality. These cars have lots of charm, neat styling and forgiving handling - they're friendly in every way. As long as your motoring ideals aren't focused on 0-60 mph figures and nuances of on-the-limit handling, a MGB is capable of giving immense pleasure.

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, Harlton, Cambridgeshire
From the Eversdens, I crossed the Cambridge to Sandy road into the lovely village of Harlton. Now, I lived in Cambridge for twenty years, and I cycled out into the countryside frequently, but I do not ever recall visiting Harlton before. Cambridgeshire has a group of villages close together with similar names - Harlton, Hauxton, Harston - but I am sure I would remember it if I'd been here. It is a super little village, feeling more remote than it is, and the church is set away from the High Street in the grounds of the Hall.
This is a large perpendicular church but with a stumpy tower, making the church seem less interesting and perhaps even bigger than it is. The artist and writer Gwen Raverat has a memorial in the porch. The exterior gives no indication of how splendid the interior will be. There are no clerestories, but this is because the arcades are so tall they reach right up to the nave roof, a spectacular sight. To the east is Cambridgeshire's only stone rood screen. The Fryer memorial of the 1630s stands as big as a bus in the south aisle. It features life size polychrome kneeling figures of Sir Henry Fryer and his parents Sir Thomas and Lady Mary. The most startling figure, though, is his step-mother Lady Bridget, who reclines full-length at the foot of the memorial. On the Sunday after my visit the churchwardens noticed that her nose had been vandalised, and seeing my name in the visitors book they contacted me to see if it had already been vandalised at the time of my visit (I was there on a Thursday). My photograph was able to show that it was, and therefore the police know this was not a Hallowe'en prank. It looked to me as if someone had tried to climb on the monument and their foot had slipped off of Lady Bridget's head.
The medieval reredos survives with 13 niches, and these are now occupied by 1920s figures of the 12 apostles by Henry Ian Ellison in Eric Gillesque style. He is also responsible for the Madonna and Child in the churchyard. I think he was the son of the Vicar who died in 1925, in which case the figures are probably a memorial to him. The central niche is now occupied by a tabernacle, indicating the very High Church sympathy of the time. In Medieval days it probably contained a crucifix.
All in all a super church, and along with Kingston my church of the day. I was close to the orbit of the city now, so broke away to head clockwise past the Lord's Bridge radio telescopes towards one of my ancestral parishes, Comberton.
There are vague indications that Thame Youth Theatre started in the 1950s. However, if it did, it needed to be restarted in 1969, when Lord Williams's master Colin Brookes decided to set up a drama group for all local youths and not just those at the Grammar School. In fact most of the attendees were from LWGS and Holton Park Girls Grammar...with a smattering from the Wenman and other local schools. It met in the Youth Wing of the Wenman School. In 1971, the group was taken over by another LWS teacher, Mike Samuda, and then in 1972, Lindsay ? took over. At some stage it might have stopped as an entity as its current history on the web-site starts in 1988. The members on this subscrition list include: Mark Crampton-Smith, Penny Day, Tony Bamborough, Judith More, Val Whittle, Andy Matthews, Sue Eby, Graham Thomas, Karen Draisey, Karen Bowles

The only indication you've reached the ghost town area is this sign for the nearby sugar processing facility
Okeelanta was a planned community, started in 1913 by Thomas Will and ostensibly owned and operated under the business name Okeelanta Corporation. The name itself was derived from a combination of Okeechobee and Atlantic. It was meant to become a model example of how the Everglades could be made into successful farming land. Early settlers included R.A. Little, S.A. Hughes, Herman Walker and Lawrence Will.
Despite many problems such as floods, freezes, wild animals and mosquitos, by 1920 Okeelanta had 200 residents, a school and town hall. Irish potatoes, corn, beans, tomatoes, and eggplant were grown and shipped out. After surviving more problems thru the 1920s, Okeelanta was flooded and destroyed by the Hurricane of 1928. Thomas Will attempted to rebuild and re-start the community, however due to lack of financial backing The Okeelanta Corporation soon declared bankruptcy and the town was finished.

This is another of SPG's photos for which we have no clear indication of when or where it was taken. What interests me about it is the contrast between the young face, and the very old hands. The time between exposure of the three plates seems to be very short (and of course, the subject managed to sit very still), making it relatively easy to align the layers of the image. I also love the way that SPGs process is able to capture the yellow lichen on the weathered wooden boards. The successor site to Temples.ru has an explanatory title which reads – "near Putivl in Kursk Province." They also note – in their "Chronology" section (for which click on Home, top left, then on the Home page look for "Chronology" in the links on the right hand side of the page) – that SPG was in the Ukraine in the summer of 1906, so this photo probably dates from that time. Still, this is the only photo of SPG's that appears to have been taken in this area, so I wonder if it was a quickly stolen shot as he passed through the town. Wikipedia indicates a monastery and an interesting church in the town of Putivl, but no shots of them by SPG are recorded in the LOC database.
We can see from the way the light falls that it is around noon (shadows are nearly vertical) and it's early summer, as the blossoms are gone, but the cherries are ripe. Blurred coloured shadows behind the fence probably indicate chickens on the move. The fence itself is an odd combination of prepared planks, and beams taken from locally felled trees, unstraightened, barked, and with the stubs of the boughs adzed away. It's difficult to see, but the log the woman sits on extends back to the right along the base of the fence, and we can see that it was felled with a saw – probably a two-man type – the cut extending almost all the way through, and then probably pulled down with a rope; we can see the area where the wood finally snapped and gave way just beyond the sawn area. One wonders too, whether the planks themselves were milled mechanically, or prepared in a saw pit; in another SPG shot, of the building of a dam, we can see sawyers working to create planks with an elevated contraption that functions like a saw-pit, so perhaps these two were prepared by hand.
May 2012: I've redone the picture and reposted. Not a lot of difference, but I did manage to line up some of the tree boughs, and reduce the fringing on the far right of the plates.
Female Grass Snake (Natrix helvetica). Despite having 3 post ocular scales which can be about 80% accurate indication of male, this stunning specimen is female and accurately measured at 805mm total length with vent to tail length of 70mm.
Our largest snake, the grass snake, is particularly fond of wetland habitats, but can also be found in dry grasslands and in gardens, especially those with a pond nearby.
During the summer, grass snake can be spotted basking in the sun near their favourite ponds or swimming in the water.
They hunt amphibians, fish, small mammals and birds. Females lay 10 to 40 eggs in rotting vegetation, such as compost heaps, incubating them until they hatch in early Autumn. Like all reptiles, grass snake hibernate, usually from October to April.
The British population of grass snake belongs to the distinct subspecies Natrix natrix helvetica, but new research published in August 2017 proposed that it should be elevated to full species status, with the name barred grass snake, Natrix helvetica.

Albania deposited on June 26, 2019 its instrument of accession to the Geneva Act of the Lisbon Agreement on Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications.
The instrument of accession was deposited with WIPO Director General Francis Gurry (right) by Ambassador Ravesa Lleshi, Permanent Representative of Albania to the United Nations in Geneva.
The Geneva Act provides producers of quality products linked to origin with faster and cheaper access to the international protection of their products' distinctive designations.
The Geneva Act further develops the legal framework of the Lisbon System, which helps promote many globally marketed products such as, for example, Darjeeling tea and Café de Colombia.
Accession by Albania brings the number of instruments of accession to the Geneva Act to 3. The Geneva Act will enter into force three months after five eligible parties have deposited their instruments of ratification or accession.

Hungary deposited on June 10, 2021 its instrument of ratification of the Geneva Act of the Lisbon Agreement on Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications ("Geneva Act") with WIPO Director General Daren Tang (right).
The instrument of ratification was deposited by Mr. Ferenc Dancs, Deputy State Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary.
The Geneva Act provides producers of quality products linked to origin, with faster and cheaper access to the international protection of their products' distinctive designations. It further develops the legal framework of the Lisbon System, which helps promote many globally marketed products such as Bananas of Costa Rica, Champagne, Tuscan Oil, Bohemia Crystal, and, for Hungary, products like Herend porcelain and Tokaj wine.
