All of my memories keep you near, your silent whispers, silent tears
Virginia War Memorial
South Belvedere Street
Richmond, Virginia
Shrine of Memory. At the south end of the Virginia War Memorial's Shrine of Memory stands a 23-foot marble statue of a woman, titled Memory, intended to reflect both sorrow and pride regarding those lost in battle during World War II and later wars; an eternal flame burns at her feet. When built in 1955, the Virginia War Memorial listed on the walls (glass to the east, marble and glass to the west) the names of Virginians killed in action (numbers in parentheses) in World War II (9,398) and Korea (850); those killed in action in Vietnam (1,379) were added in a 1981 addition to the north, while those killed in the Persion Gulf (7) were added in 1996. A more recent addition, extending back from the NE corner of the Shrine of Memory, is the Paul & Phyllis Galanti Education Center, whose offerings include museum displays and films. The War Memorial sits on Gambles Hill, between Belvidere Street (US 1 & 301) and 2nd Street, a short distance north of the James River; at the foot of Gambles Hill are the west end of the Richmond Canal Walk and the Civil War Center at the old Tredegar Iron Works. The buildings in the distance behind Memory are on the opposite side of the river.
I met Whisle at Virginia War Memorial in late afternoon last December, hoping for a starburst at sunset beside Memory statue, but sky was much more overcast than forecast; we stayed until after dark for shots with lights on the statue.

Thanks to the group "115 Pictures in 2015" this Teddybear sat perky and bright.....although a little bit worse for wear after 35 years in the loft. Teddy now at 69 years old, was Janina's (my cuddly wife) favorite when she was 3 years of age.
Theme #47 - A Childhood Memory
Mum made this rug using clothes I had outgrown. The blue is school uniform, the green a tracksuit, the stripes a t-shirt etc... Actually for a while the t-shirt was worn by Big Ted, before he upgraded to a SuperTed costume (also made by mum).
The only thing not worn by me is the unbelievably awful and uncomfortable 1970s bright pink NYLON bedsheets!!

One of the most serene places I have visited on my trip in Dorset. I came up half an hour before sunset. Birds such as Chiffchaff and Song Thrush were singing. I wish I came earlier but maybe the place looked its best before sunset as the last of the sun' rays added a golden touch to the green grass.

In memory of San Francisco Fire Department Lieutenant Vincent Perez and Firefighter - Paramedic Anthony Valero who were fatally injured while fighting a house fire on June 2 2011 , Coit Tower was bathed in red light. Coit Tower exists in great part due to a bequeathment by Lillie Hitchcock Coit (1842 - 1929), a wealthy wacky woman of San Francisco who greatly admired the Fire Department. It is probably no small coincidence Coit Tower greatly resembles the nozzle of a firehouse.
RIP, Firemen, and thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your sacrifice won't be forgotten.
【Kerman, Iran】 Water fountain at the entrance of the Iran - Iraq imposed war museum of Kerman. I randomly arrived to this place and I learned many things which changed many of my views about Iran, such as official documents of the US support for Saddam Hussein's gassing of Iraqi minorities and Iranian people with chemical weapons. Ironically the US foreign minister Kerry has called the supposed use of chemical weapons in Syria a "moral obsenity". One should guess, when the allies of the US government use chemical weapons it no longer is obsene.

"Memories For Sale"....I pass this old timey place in town and wish I could go in and spend time among the wonderous things ....every nook and cranny has something I'd like to have ...maybe just to look at and sketch and remember olden times. I'll leave it up to those around town, to recognize where it welcomes all to enter.
Our memory is a landscape, our bodies are its map. We can trace lines with our fingers that will take us down roads, we can find markings that symbolize a monument in our past; these are our scars.
For a series on mapping, I took to photographing the physical and psychological impression scars leave on a person. The ambiguity of the physical in the photograph is to pair with the ambiguity of the quote, not depicting the incident or injury, but acting as a brief view into the human psyche. Rather than romanticized and sensationalized, the photographs are gritty depictions of gritty truths.
The series Memory Markings has been made into a limited edition book which can be bought at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel briefly.
Memories are never recalled completely. This series shows parts of a complete photographic recording of a memory intertwined with an object from that memory.
Tho the memories are but fleeting
They can't help but keep receding
All the dreams they keep repeating
My mistakes so long ago...
Memories, memories, memories fading
Why oh, why I feel so jaded?
While I sit here, while I'm waiting
The truth it grips me so...
I know, I know He's all around me
Telling me to stop compounding
Stop compounding, and just let go
of all those sin's of long ago..
I
My brother and sister gave me this rose in a pot in memory of my late husband. The first bloom came well ahead of the usual flowering season.

Even when the mind forgets
The body remembers.
Put in a certain position
I’ve ground my teeth in rage
Put in another and tears have spouted
A hot spring newly excavated.
In another I’m in bliss, as if born for this.
All the while, my mind is in the dark
No inkling as to why I have these reactions.
1000 hours in meditation might
Illuminate these mysteries
But I probably don’t want to know.
My body is releasing its reservoirs of poison
On its own, in its time, without supervision
And I suspect it’s protecting my conscious self
Knowing how fragile it is
Despite its arrogant bravado.
They say the mind controls the body
But I don’t think that’s completely true.
Whenever my mind falls short
It’s my body that carries me home.

As the nights start to get longer and you can feel a chill in the air the scorching heat of the summer seems a distant memory.

"Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. It introduced the song standard, 'Memory'.
The musical first opened in the West End in 1981 and then on Broadway in 1982, in each case directed by Trevor Nunn and choreographed by Gillian Lynne. It won numerous awards, including both the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony Award for Best Musical. The London production ran for 21 years and the Broadway production for eighteen years, in both cases setting historical long-run records. Actresses Elaine Paige and Betty Buckley became particularly associated with the musical.
Cats has been performed around the world in numerous productions and has been translated into more than 20 languages. It was also made into a 1998 video that has been broadcast on television.
Cats was first shown in London's West End Theatre West End, at the New London Theatre. May 11, 1981. There was trouble during the beginning as Judi Dench, cast in the role of Grizabella, snapped a tendon during rehearsals prior to the London opening. The role of Grizabella was subsequently taken over by Elaine Paige; the role was beefed up for Paige and the song 'Memory' (originally to be sung by Geraldine Gardner in the role of the red cat Bombalurina) was given to Paige. It was originally produced onstage by Cameron Mackintosh and Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group. It was directed by Trevor Nunn, associate director and choreographer Gillian Lynne, designed by John Napier with lighting by David Hersey. It played a total of 8,949 performances in London. Its final performance in London's West End was on its 21st birthday, May 11, 2002, and broadcast on a large screen in Covent Garden to the delight of fans who could not acquire a ticket for the final performance. It held the record as London's longest running musical until October 8, 2006, when it was surpassed by Les Misérables." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cats_(musical)
GRIZABELLA:
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
SILLABUB:
Sunlight, through the trees in summer
Endless masquerading
GRIZABELLA AND SILLABUB:
Like a flower as the dawn is breaking
GRIZABELLA:
The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
