Ramon #62 of 100 by Richard

I managed to get an afternoon in London to try and get a few strangers. The afternoon started off a complete wash out. It was chucking it down. Ever hopeful I hung around Carnaby Street for a while and explored the area in the rain. After spending some time in a shop I came out to sunshine - yeah!

The rain however had put a dampner on my spirits and for some reason made me feel very nervous about approaching people. I think it was being on unfamiliar ground. Strange really.

Ramon is a bike (push) courier. I've got a picture in my mind contianing a bike and person so bike courier's are on my list of people to look out for. Whilst Ramon seemed happy to have his picture taken I could tell he wasn't up for direction so I kept things pretty safe and will leave my bike picture for another time.

Ramon does about 70km roughly 45 miles a day! Trust me that's a lot of miles. I'm a keen cyclist and do 100km off road and 90 mile road ride events. When I'm training for these we tend to do a couple of 35mile and 1 80 mile ride a week. So to do that mileage ever day takes some doing. Especially on a fixed gear single speed bike. For those who don't know that means the back wheel and pedals have to keep turning and you've only 1 gear. Ramon cannot free wheel his bike, his legs have to keep pedalling. From what I understand couriers choose these bikes so there is less maintenance on them. Less moving parts to go wrong. I guess London is pretty flat so having 1 gear isn't a problem if it's the right gear.

Of course doing that much exercise means you can eat what you want! Hence that well known energy food the Lion Bar.

This is #62 in my 100 strangers assignment. More street portraits and strangers from around the world on the Photo challenge: 100 strangers web site!

Found this outside my apartment building the other day, above the buzzers.

Turns out it's a checkpoint where the letter carrier has to scan the barcode so their movements can be tracked. (mudbay.wordpress.com/2010/05/07/managed-service-points/)

Not sure why it has to have a particular apartment number -- MY apartment number -- for a 20-apartment building, but...

ROMA ARCHEOLOGIA e BENI CULTURALI: SITAR Web-GIS: A Tool for Managing Archeological Data in the Cultural Heritage Conservation and Town Planing, SSBAR (2013). by Martin Conde

ROMA ARCHEOLOGIA e BENI CULTURALI: SITAR Web-GIS: A Tool for Managing Archeological Data in the Cultural Heritage Conservation and Town Planing, SSBAR (2013).

The SITAR geospatial databank is a project of the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma that draws on the talents of a team consisting of archaeologists, topographers, and computer experts. SITAR uses RDBMS architecture to record the archeological data that enter the data base directly, analytically and without interpretation. The logic of the system is designed to organize, within one single databank, data deriving from bibliographic and archival research, as well as data from the entirety of the various territorial investigations (including remote sensing, boreholes, geophysical surveys, preventive excavations, etc.).The system is structured on three logical levels of detail which enable data deriving from a given number of corresponding conceptual categories to be archived and also allow very heterogeneous types of data sets to be organized.

The cognitive and analytical path works either bottom-up or top-down, and has as its primary goal the description of any given archaeological context. In order to acquire and use the geo-topographical information, an optimal procedure for the digitization of archive materials has been developed. This consists of successive steps of rasterizing, georeferencing within the cartographic system shared by the other offices that deal with town planning, vectorizing and entry into the databank. This procedure produces an archaeological GeoDatabase that can be used both internally by the Soprintendenza and externally through sharing and exchange with other offices and universities.

Rufus Castle in May 2018, down Church Ope road, Portland, Dorset. England. by G. Knowles

The day I visited Portland Bill was on the 15th October 2017. Sadly it was not a very clear day and fairly dull. Hence I did not manage to get the sunny, spectacular views you can normally get from the very top of this Bill. I did, however, return on the 1st May and on the 24th May 2018. Portland is thought of as an island although this isn’t wholly correct in the true sense of the word as it’s reached over a causeway along, what is known as Chesil Beach. Just 4 miles long by a mile and a half wide at its broadest point, this plate of Jurassic limestone is tilted from north to south. This means that if you are on the elevated northern side of the island you are rewarded with stunning views across the Chesil, Portland Harbour & Weymouth.

Portland Bill is a narrow piece of land ( or bill ) at the southern end of the Isle of Portland, and the southernmost point of Dorset. One of Portland's most popular destinations, the popular attraction Portland Bill Lighthouse is found here. The surrounding coast of Portland, namely Portland Bill and Chesil Beach, have been notorious for the many vessels that became shipwrecked in the area over the centuries. The dangerous coastline, which features shallow reefs and the Shambles sandbank, was proven more hazardous due to the strong tidal race is known as the Portland Race. The Bill is still an important way point for coastal traffic, and three lighthouses have been built to protect shipping, in particular from its strong tidal race and shallow reef. The original two lighthouses guided vessels around the coast from 1716, until they were replaced in 1906 by the current lighthouse.

Overlooking Portland Harbour in Dorset stands one of Henry VIII’s finest coastal forts, built in the early 1540’s to protect against the French and Spanish invasion. Portland Castle was built as a consequence of international tensions between England, France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely. Today it provides a great day out for visitors and its audio tour, included in the admission price, tells of the castle’s 450-year history and the part it played in the First and Second World Wars. Portland Castle offers lots to do for families and couples alike, and only four miles from Weymouth, this historic adventure can easily be combined with some more contemporary seaside fun.

Church Ope Cove is located on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. The beach consists of soft limestone pebbles ( although they do feel pretty hard to walk on ) and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides which provide shelter from the often strong breeze in the area. As the beach faces south, it is also something of a sun trap throughout the day. Here, it is first recorded in 789 AD the first Viking raid on the British Isles happened. This cove was believed to be the place they landed. The exposed location was later defended by a Norman 12th Century Rufus Castle, built on the cliff-top overlooking the beach. This remaining castle which can be seen today dates from the late 15th-century.

The cove's area was also used for the building of Portland's first parish church, St Andrews Church, which was probably first established above the cove by the Saxons. St Andrews churchyard, where the ruins stand right on the edge of the east cliffs, has long been the infamous Pirates Graveyard. Built in 1475 on the site of an earlier building, St Andrews was destroyed by fire during a raid. Its rather dubious reputation as a pirates graveyard is based entirely on the fact that some of the headstones and table tombs, both inside and outside the church, have skulls and crossbones carved on them.
