Remembrance mosaic panel made for 3 sisters who lost their oldest sister last year. Will be hung in the lobby of an Elder Care with Special Needs Center where she volunteered for many years.
In my neighborhood there used to be a huge factory belonging to OM, a very old truck company (founded 1917). Milan is an industrial city, and OM is very much a part of the history of the city, and the factory has been a landmark of this part of the city.
The factory shut down at some point, and was a ruin for a long time. A few years ago the whole area was demolished and a big renovation project was created; housing and office blocks were built, with green spaces and all that.
A large part of that area has been dedicated to three parks. One of them is very appropriately known as "Industrial Memories Park" and is dedicated to the memory of the man and women that have worked in this area.
They kept some machinery from the old factory and build a garden in and on and around the. From an industrial world a new world is born where iron tools mingle with nature in a new embrace.
The Hall of Memory
The Hall of Memory in Centenary Square, Birmingham, England, designed by S. N. Cooke and W. N. Twist, is a war memorial erected 1922–25, by John Barnsley and Son, to commemorate the 12,320 Birmingham citizens who died in World War I.
Built directly over a filled-in canal basin of Gibson's Arm, it was the first structure in an area (now occupied by Centenary Square and the International Convention Centre and Symphony Hall) purchased by the council for the creation of a grand civic scheme to include new council offices, the mayor's residence, a public library, and a concert hall. The scheme was abandoned after the arrival of World War II with only half of the planned Baskerville House having been built.
Made from Portland stone, from the Isle of Portland in Dorset, the foundation stone was laid by HRH The Prince of Wales on 12 June 1923 and it was opened by Prince Arthur of Connaught on 4 July 1925 to a crowd of 30,000. Construction had cost £60,000 and was funded through public donations. The four statues around the exterior are by local artist Albert Toft. They represent the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and Women's Services.
The interior features three carved bas-relief plaques (155 cm x 223 cm) by William Bloye representing three tableaux: Call (departure to war), Front Line (fighting), Return (arrival home of the wounded). These bear inscriptions:
OF 150,000 WHO ANSWERED THE CALL TO ARMS 12,320 FELL: 35,000 CAME HOME DISABLED
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
SEE TO IT THAT THEY SHALL NOT HAVE SUFFERED AND DIED IN VAIN +*+
There is also a roll of honour illustrated by Sidney Meteyard.
The hall was upgraded on 27 October 2014 to a Grade I listed building from its previous Grade II.
The colonnade, now in St. Thomas' Peace Garden
During the Birmingham Blitz, on the night of 11 December 1940, all but the fine tower and classical west portico of St. Thomas' Church, Bath Row, was destroyed by German bombs. The church was never rebuilt. The First World War Memorial colonnade, which had been built alongside the Hall of Memory in 1925, was relocated there when Centenary Square was laid out 1989. The gardens were re-designed as the St. Thomas' Peace Garden in 1995 in commermoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II, as a monument to peace, and as a memorial to all those killed in armed conflict.
took this photo in the fog this morning. It reminded me of the "Bare Trees" album by Fleetwood Mac, and my college days. Back then the girls (sorry) would all rave over this album - swoon may be more accurate. The guys would agree, but and then put on Exile On Main Street by the Stones. I drove everyone crazy playing "Can't you hear me knockin?" over and over very loud. - Just a memory I thought I would share from the 70s.
i'll miss you, guys :( Let's have a nice summer \m/

This is a 'memoryware' mosaic.
Mr. Turtle has a story to tell! Below the sea... think of all of the items.. that once were special to someone. Perhaps an earring lost when swimming on a late summer afternoon. Perhaps a nail from a sunken ship... or a coin fallen from the pocket of a man who jumped over the side of a boat to save a child. Or even... a jewel tossed from cruise ship after a lover's spat!
One never knows... what treasures are buried in the sand for only the sea creatures to find!
This is the best way to still remember your friends !!
Miss you guys .

في غ ـير الزمان
[...مرتني الذكرى وانا واقف...]
في نفس المكان
مرتني الذكرى وانا واقف
في ذا ضحكت ايام لكني بكيت
في ذا حلمت احلام لكني صحيت
ومنها ابتديت وفيها انتهيت
إلا من الذكرى
قالت لي الذكرى كلام عني
كلام والله بغيت انساه
وصاحت ربابة شوق واثر النغم مني
يشكي وانا شكواه
وغنى صوت في ليلة فرح
وهلت عين وقلب انجرح
في صوتها جرح او تعب
وفي عيونها نظرة عتب
وشفت ابتسامه عليها هلت الدمعة
ونظرة ملامه من الماضي على ربعه
وانا مع الذكرى
في نفس المكان
في غ ـير الزمان
.
.
.
.
.
تعطيني الذكرى ولا تاخذ ابد
تحكي لي الذكرى ولا تسمع لاحد
وانا عندي كلام ممنوع حتى عن الخاطر
لا ياخذه امسي ولا يقبله باكر
ماقدر اوضح غايم الصوره
ولا ازود للمسا نوره
.
.
.
.
.الله يا ذكرى ياما فهمتيني خطأ
يا ما قدم رجلي على جمرك وطأ
واليوم هيضني هواي
اشكي ولادري وش بلاي
هو من شقاي اللي مضى والا هناي
وانا مع الذكرى
في نفس المكان
في غ ـير الزمان
