Enjoying the pleasure of eating outside this beautiful, spring morning I know summer is coming when sitting on the backporch for breakfast appeals. The birds singing, the breeze whispering through the trees, and a cold poodle nose pressed against my leg...what other cliches should a picnic breakfast include?

Video of a cabinet display panel showing the FYA operation. This is a simple T intersection, but our display panels show a 4-leg intersection, with all options of overlaps and FYA for the lefts. This is in case the intersection is modified, we can simply hook up new field wires.
The left turn phase is phase 2 (not 5). Note at the end of the video, the FYA is delayed coming up after phases 4 and 8 go green. The delay is programmed in the controller. In this case, the driver seeing the left turn indication sees a red arrow for 2 seconds after the main street green occurs. After 2 seconds of red, the controller begins displaying the FYA to the left turn driver.

Red-waisted Florella Moth - Hodges 5284 (Syngamia florella) feeding on Spanish Needle (a.k.a. Beggarticks, Hitch Hikers, Black-jack, Farmer'sFriends; Bidens pilosa) - Dan Click's Ponds, Rockledge, Florida
I've been seeing these little guys flitting around for about a month now,
and here I've finally got one to sit still long enough to make a capture!
It was pretty breezy yesterday, so I searched out a place where my subjects would be sheltered from the wind, and the trees in the back right corner of the far Click pond sheltered the Spanish Needle and blooming Bitter Gourd (a.k.a. Wild Balsam Apple; Momordica charantia linnaeus) very nicely from the wind.
Shutter speed and/or flash will go a long way in helping to freeze a moving subject, but with macro, subject movement can often be too large for DOF to be very helpful on windy days, and focus & shutter lag become the real issues when flash and shutter speed can't deal with sudden changes in subject to camera distance. :{(
So, working on a calm day, finding a calm place, or waiting for an eddy in the turbulence to find your subject are often your only options.

Old St Nicholas' Church dates from around 1080, but a wooden church is thought to have been on the site in 700 AD. It is partially ruined, with the nave roof missing. It was remodelled in the late Middle Ages, and restored in 1846. The porch was rebuilt in 1904, but the church has been semi derelict since the opening of the new St Nicholas' Church in 1944, down the hill. It is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, but services are still occasionally held there. It was locked today.

Syon House is located near Isleworth and Twickenham on the outskirts of central London. It was the home of the Duke of Northumberland and owned by the Percy family.
It is now run by the Historic Houses Association (more on the HHA here…http://www.hha.org.uk/Property/932/Syon-House).
Please note the the house and gardens are only open at certain times of the year and only on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
On this visit we chose to spend our time in the beautiful conservatory and the grounds rather than visit the house. The pictures give an indication of the beautiful gardens and the conservatory benefitted from lots of sunshine. The shadows make it look really spectacular!
Feel free to comment on any of the pics. As usual I’ve also made black and white copies for those of us who hark back to the days when monochrome was king! It works on some, and not on others but the comparison is always interesting.
There’s no sign. Nothing. No indication why 12 ostrich sculptures stand in Parc Léopold next to the European Parliament. Seven have their heads buried in the sand, while five are standing up. One English tabloid newspaper saw the birds as symbolizing the European Union, but they got the story wrong.
The birds were put up as a reminder that the park was originally a zoo, founded back in 1850 but closed in 1877, leaving just two square entrance pavilions on Rue Belliard.

The history of roses in the People's Garden
The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:
1000 standard roses
4000 Floribunda,
300 rambling roses,
(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.
Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:
1859 - Rubens
1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods
1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier
The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:
730 tree roses
2300 Floribunda
132 rambling roses
100 shrub roses
That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.
Molineux 1994
Rubens 1859
Medialis 1993
Swan lake 1968
Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes
1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made multiple extensions.
The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)
What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.
Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.
Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.
1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

Classifications of roses
(Wild roses have 7 sheets - prize roses 5 sheets)
English Rose
Florybunda
Hybrid Tea Rose
Rambling Rose
At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:
Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;
Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;
English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.
Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose
Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)
Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses
Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).
All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".
Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )
Other classifications are:
(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.
Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds
Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other
English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)
4000 Floribunda
Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy
There are few smelling varieties
Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms
New concept of color: from red to light yellow
The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

Standard tree rose Maria Theresa
Floribunda aspirin
The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

300 ambling roses
The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Schlingrose Danube
Schlingrose tenor
Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

Charles Bedford Morris was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War. His Medal of Honor citation reads: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Seeing indications of the enemy's presence in the area, S/Sgt. Morris deployed his squad and continued forward alone to make a reconnaissance. He unknowingly crawled within 20 meters of an enemy machinegun, whereupon the gunner fired, wounding him in the chest. S/Sgt. Morris instantly returned the fire and killed the gunner. Continuing to crawl within a few feet of the gun, he hurled a grenade and killed the remainder of the enemy crew. Although in pain and bleeding profusely, S/Sgt. Morris continued his reconnaissance. Returning to the platoon area, he reported the results of his reconnaissance to the platoon leader. As he spoke, the platoon came under heavy fire. Refusing medical attention for himself, he deployed his men in better firing positions confronting the entrenched enemy to his front. Then for 8 hours the platoon engaged the numerically superior enemy force. Withdrawal was impossible without abandoning many wounded and dead. Finding the platoon medic dead, S/Sgt. Morris administered first aid to himself and was returning to treat the wounded members of his squad with the medic's first aid kit when he was again wounded. Knocked down and stunned, he regained consciousness and continued to treat the wounded, reposition his men, and inspire and encourage their efforts. Wounded again when an enemy grenade shattered his left hand, nonetheless he personally took up the fight and armed and threw several grenades which killed a number of enemy soldiers. Seeing that an enemy machinegun had maneuvered behind his platoon and was delivering the fire upon his men, S/Sgt. Morris and another man crawled toward the gun to knock it out. His comrade was killed and S/Sgt. Morris sustained another wound, but, firing his rifle with 1 hand, he silenced the enemy machinegun. Returning to the platoon, he courageously exposed himself to the devastating enemy fire to drag the wounded to a protected area, and with utter disregard for his personal safety and the pain he suffered, he continued to lead and direct the efforts of his men until relief arrived. Upon termination of the battle, important documents were found among the enemy dead revealing a planned ambush of a Republic of Vietnam battalion. Use of this information prevented the ambush and saved many lives. S/Sgt. Morris' gallantry was instrumental in the successful defeat of the enemy, saved many lives, and was in the highest traditions of the U.S. Army." Sergeant Morris is resting in the Morris Cemetery in Fancy Gap, Virginia.
EDITED later (with apologies to artWannabe and his comment below...) > To avoid confusion, this explanation:
One might call this a surreal or semi-abstract performance? The performance is me visiting my abstracts in a 'gallery'. The gallery is my recent 100 or so abstract macro images at their biggest resolution (1600x1200 pixels) run as a slide show from one of my digital cameras.The slideshow is fed onto my living room quite-large TV screen through a video/AV lead. I sit near the TV and light myself from below/side with my table lamp. At the same time I have another camera, my Olympus mp3 player camera, on a tripod, shooting me visiting this mock gallery slideshow continuously. I get it to shoot automatically about once every 4 seconds via a modification I made at the camera.
(do you think where possible, it's better to have the gallery visitor in black & white, like in this image, via Photoshop.......or better to leave him in colour?)
from 'Abstract Will Eat Itself' project.
a.k.a. 'Jam's Poor Man Gallery'.
It finally happened. You 1 or 2 guys who've been teasing me about stick this one or that one in a gallery have got your wish. I was curious (and gullible : ) enough to go with it.
Abstract image: is from my photostream and some of you have seen it before www.flickr.com/photos/28727333@N05/4252054665/in/set-7215... .

View of the “Albanian Geographical Indications and Traditional Cultural Expressions” exhibition co-organized by WIPO and the Government of Albania.
Held on the sidelines of the WIPO Assemblies, the exhibition featured geographical indications and traditional cultural expressions from Albania.
The WIPO Assemblies took place in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 8-17, 2025.

Here's what I'd written up in my description for this photo (until today).: "No indication who this stylish silver guy with the slicked-back hair is on this monument. (The anonymity is part of its charm.) I suspect this is an educational institution and he's a graduate, ready to take on the world with his book, outfit, hairdo, and determined expression. I passed this bldg. walking into town having just hitched in from Mir. Here it is on google maps. (The convex bit faces north.): www.google.ca/maps/@53.5985897,25.8390775,130m/data=!3m1!... "
Update: Nope. This is a young Lenin (I shoulda guessed), and the bldg. had been a courthouse and was used as part of an internment or concentration camp for local Jews from at least Aug. 1942 to Sept. 26, 1943. I've just learned of the existence of the Jewish Resistance museum in former barracks just to the left of this courthouse on the site of what had been a Nazi-run concentration camp (I think. It's referred to as a 'ghetto' in the video in the next link below, but appears to be a small camp to me.) The museum opened its doors in 2007, 2 yr.s before I passed by, which I guess would explain why it wasn't in the Bradt guide that I had at the time. A vintage photo of the courthouse is shown and the bldg. is discussed from the 21:05 min. pt. in the virtual-tour video in the next link; a model of the camp or ghetto is seen at the 23:30 min. pt., and it's unmistakable. It was filled with workshops where the prisoners were put to work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiuGHzxJaFg
- From a plaque in the museum captured in a video that's now off-line: "Workshops and stables of the courthouse were used as barracks for the ghetto inmates from Aug. 1942. More than 500 people lived here. Close to 300 prisoners, mainly women and children, became victims of the 4th massacre on May 7, 1943."
- The famous Kushner family hailed from Navahrudak. Photos of Jared's great-grandparents are on display in the museum, and according to the article in the next link, his grandmother Rae was born here and it was here that his great-grandmother and great-aunt were murdered by the Nazis.: lareviewofbooks.org/article/navahrudaks-native-sons-a-rep...
"During World War II, Rae, her father, and 3 siblings were held in the town’s small Jewish ghetto [here], where they helped dig a 600-foot earthen tunnel through which they and about 170 local Jews escaped the same fate. They fled into the nearby Naliboki forest where they were taken in by a group of partisans, one of whom, Yosl Berkovitz, later married Rae and became Joseph Kushner, taking his bride’s more prominent surname. Rae’s brother, Chanon, was killed during their flight; Charlie Kushner, Jared’s father, was named after him, and has made regular pilgrimages to this small Belarusian hamlet for three decades. ... The Kushners’ remarkable escape is also depicted in 'Defiance', a 2008 motion picture about the Bielski partisans starring Daniel Craig." www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP0CXXWogIM
- Here's a clip or a trailer from a documentary re the search for and excavation of the tunnel.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSmZlLvv1vU
- Scenes and photos from Nahahrudak filmed and taken in 1918 and 1931 (with an intense sdtrk.), the synagogue is seen at the 1:33 min. pt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pohHdCPEDes
- "During Mickiewicz’s time, Jews made up over 50 % of the local population, and Muslim Tatars composed another 20 %. “It was a kind of Jerusalem,” Vershitskaya [a local] says. In her mind, Navahrudak is notable for being a place where Muslims, Orthodox Christians, and Jews long coexisted, a thoroughfare for marauding armies and tradesmen, a place accustomed to shifting borders and the close presence of foreigners. The Belarusian city has, over the centuries, belonged to Lithuania, Poland, and the Soviet Union. ... The city center was bombed 4 times during the war; the synagogues and Jewish prayer houses were destroyed, but the town’s mosque and several churches still stand. Of the city’s prewar population of 6,000 Jews, @ 5 remain."
- Now this from the same article: "A silver stone bust of a young Lenin marks the entrance to the site where the Kushners were once imprisoned. Behind it stands the hulking white former courthouse, where the town’s Jewish residents were imprisoned. Around the corner, in the old barracks, is Vershitskaya’s three-room museum. ... A few years ago, survivors of the Navahrudak ghetto returned to help find the remains of the escape tunnel, uncovering a few of its decaying wooden walls beside the trade school’s garage for disused tractor trailers. Charlie Kushner has donated $36,000 to support the museum and pledged another $44,000 toward a project to preserve their findings and to build a memorial dedicated to those who were interned in the Navahrudak ghetto."
Update March 2024: Nope, Jared Kushner does NOT sound like a nice guy. In a recent interview at Harvard (on Feb. 15) he "praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip. ... Asked by Masoud about fears on the part of Arabs in the region that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, would not allow Palestinians who flee Gaza to return, Kushner paused and then said: “Maybe. I am not sure there is much left of Gaza at this point. If you think about even the construct, Gaza was not really a historical precedent [sic]. It was the result of a war. You had tribes in different places and then Gaza became a thing. ..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaz...

Arion rufus (Arionidae). Beech (Fagus sylvatica) forest on Westerberg, Göttinger Wald, Göttingen, Germany, 11 May 2010.
There is a saying in Germany that when debris is clinging to the tail of the slug (in this case beech bud-scales), it will rain. And, sure enough, it did rain that night! Thanks to Erwin Bergmeier for this ethnomalacological detail.

Indication of the track to the summit of Monte Zucchero, as seen after passing point 1783 (have a look at the map at the very beginning of this set). When we reached the path at the very bottom at the right side, we were ascending already for approx. two hours (and approx. 600 vertical meters).
The total ascent was approx. seven hours, the descent more than four hours. The cool beer I had in a typical Grotto in the valley at the end of this great day was, therefore, well deserved…
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard produced by Sunbeam Photo Ltd. of 82, Sweyn Road Margate. There are no indications as to the identity of the individuals or the date of the photograph.
Walking Pictures
The group 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.

(From Wikipedia): Times Square is the name given to a principal intersection, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Like Red Square in Moscow, Champs-Elysées in Paris, Trafalgar Square in London, or Tiananmen Square in Beijing, Times Square has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and has become a symbol of New York. Times Square is principally defined by its lighted and animated advertisements. Times Square consists of the blocks between Seventh and Ninth Avenues from east to west, and West 39th and West 52nd Streets from south to north (40.75659° N 73.98626° W), making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.

Multiple indications that this thing really flows in the spring runoff- big sandbars and boulders all over, plus a lot of full-size trees washed out by the roots lying sideways six feet above current water level. It's very cold, since it's snowmelt from further up the mountain. Sherwood and Nottingham Campgrounds are fine, but the entire Robin Hood Campground disappeared in a flood a few years ago. The river just took it downstream. In addition to the spring runoff, they also have flash floods from fall thunderstorms.
Little indication of COVID-19 social distancing at Highfield during the Tommy Wilson Trophy T20 final between hosts Fulwood & Broughton and Northern Premier League rivals Netherfield.
Netherfield pipped Fulwood & Broughton in a low-scoring thriller that went to the last ball. Needing one to tie and two to win, with one wicket remaining, the hosts completed a single but suffered a runout going for the second. Having lost fewer wickets, Netherfield were able to celebrate. Some felt ‘super overs’ should have been used to determine the winner.
A difficult wicket and a damp outfield ensured both teams had trouble putting runs on the board - despite Highfield being a relatively small ground. With bowlers in command, each team managed only one six. Fours were in short supply, too. The Kendal-based visitors were 50-3 after 10 overs then 66-4 after 15.
At tea, few would have put money on a Netherfield win. However, Fulwood & Broughton lost two wickets, before scoring a run, in the first over. Game on! The hosts were 49-3 after 10 overs then 67-5 after 15. Twenty-five was needed from the last 18 balls then 13 off the final over. A valiant effort, late in the game, gave Fulwood & Broughton a sniff of the cup but they fell agonisingly short.
