One of the local 'Stolpersteine', which are cobblestone-sized memorials commemorating victims of the Holocaust; here Kalman Glick
Stolpersteine / [stumbling stones], by artist Gunter Demnig, are now found in many of the countries where the Jewish population was decimated in the Holocaust, including Norway.
The hair! The faces on the people around them........the doorman who you can't see in this photo that asked them to "calm the dancing down". Hahahahahahahahahaha!
I have seriously started a Lauren Fanclub. She's the person who gets the most comments & favourites out of all my photos. I think I can safely say you can 'hire' her for a party for the small price of getting her really, really drunk.....
She is also a free spirit now that she graduated today.....That is correct people....she is also very intelligent as well as being a pretty face.......(pretty sure she has an English degree now or something)
She is going travelling throughout Europe this summer so if you want her to come to your party let me know!
Notes and description of specimens collected on the Philippine Expedition of the Steamer Albatross, circa 1908

The bucket list:
Kicking a bucket into a deep well
is far off comprehensive reality.
But if you can get it out again
and fill it with words to your gain,
checking off some tasks you have do
it's more than what people might mean!
My last presentation of a few pages from my note book was well received.
The comments inspired me to develop the idea. To that end I've tried this approach. The day was 17th June 1979, the event was Doncaster Works open day. I had arrived behind the Doncaster Derby rail tour hauled by 20066 and 20162.
The watermark is 55004 turned out in ex works condition but if i remember rightly she had donated her engines to keep others going.
The notes show part of the locos seen at the works and some observations as the rail tour went up the east coast mainline. Also a few local notes from the 23/6/79.
I keep a paper record of the photos I add to my two 365 groups. This is the list for the daily self-portrait group 365 Days of which (by dint of long-service) I'm one of the admins.
You will note that this is photograph 3543 of my daily selfies. Early in 2007 I saw Flickr folk posting daily self-portraits but I'd missed the obvious starting point of the First of January so I waited until my 65th birthday on 21 April 2007
The hereios of the We're Here! group have paid a visit to a group which we have each set up for the purpose. I have set up the Bulldog clips group. Admission is free to all, but submissions will be ruthlessly moderated. BULLDOG is a registered trademark of Brandsley Limited which is licensed to Faire Bros & Co Limited. Its registration as a trademark in the United Kingdom dates back to 1944.
Stuck for an idea for your daily 365 shot? Try the hereios of the We're Here! group for inspiration.
Having bagged his spot on a trolley, a spotter notes down 86030 as it runs through Crewe light engine on 30th May 1978. White Adidas bag is a classic!

An age old form of communication. From the elementary notes passed furtively from desk to desk in the classroom between giggling children to the more serious messages of eternal love penned by lovestruck teenagers then stuck in lockers or jacket pockets. As parents we leave these in our children's lunches for them to find as a treat along with their cookies.
They served their purpose as they still do. Like a love letter they are by nature short and to the point; "see you, love you, til later, til then." Short on paper but long on meaning.
There is nothing better than to find one of these jewels, a touching note, a humorous jibe, a reminder to accomplish, or maybe a date. Handy little things these notes are. But mostly, they are a reminder that I'm thinking of you and soon I'll be with you; hopefully sooner, maybe later, but I am thinking about you enough to write it.
This particular love note embellished with one of phyl's anniversary roses.
Love you!

I was inspired by the "Happy Days" music video by my KWEEN Brooke Candy! I love ha!
...don't leave your camera lying around. These are NOT my boobs. I carry my camera with me everywhere I go. Today I took it out of my purse and laid it on my desk. A coworker snapped this pic at some point without me knowing it. I think I know who this is and tomorrow i'll ask to see her boobs just to make sure. OK not really but other than me, there is only one other person at work who would do this...
It's been a while since i've posted anything here. I need to get my act together. I've been so busy with work and life and there was an unexpected death last week that just put us in a funk for a few days...not that any death is ever expected.
Some note cards I made at shutterfly.com, with sketches from my moleskine sketchbooks. Tapas sketch was don at Bar Cesar and sushi at Miyuki, both in Berkeley.

Getting a note from our 3 1/2 year-old granddaughter in the mail is a wonderful surprise. Since I didn't have children of my own, it is an especial delight to see an envelope addressed to Nana (amd Papa). And no, I do not know why there's a rocket on here. Or wait, maybe it's something else entirely!
ODC: Note
Note : - Ref Nos 283, 294 and 364 are from the same manuscript.
This is an historiated initial from the superbly illuminated Llangattock Breviary produced in Ferrara, Italy, c.1441-1448.
Set within the swirls of the initial "S" a bearded old man in a green cloak, with yellow modeling, hands up in prayer, and with a halo The size of the initial is 23mm x 20mm (9/10ins. x 8/10ins.).
The initial opens the Third Epistle of saint John which is addressed to Saint Gaius who became Bishop of Ephesus. This could be a depiction of Saint Gaius or it could be a depiction of Saint John as an old man (which would be very unusual).
Category A listed historic townhouses designed in 1791 by Robert Adam. They were constructed 1803-07.
"Charlotte Square is a garden square in Edinburgh, Scotland, part of the New Town, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The square is located at the west end of George Street and was intended to mirror St. Andrew Square in the east. The gardens are private and not publicly accessible.
Initially named St. George's Square in James Craig's original plan, it was renamed in 1786 after King George III's Queen and first daughter, to avoid confusion with George Square to the south of the Old Town. Charlotte Square was the last part of the initial phase of the New Town to be "completed" in 1820 (note- the north-west section at Glenfinlas Street was not completed until 1990 due to a long-running boundary dispute). Much of it was to the 1791 design of Robert Adam, who died in 1792, just as building began.
In 1939 a very sizable air-raid shelter was created under the south side of the gardens, accessed from the street to the south.
In 2013 the south side was redeveloped in an award-winning scheme by Paul Quinn, creating major new office floorspace behind a restored series of townhouses.
Edinburgh Collegiate School was located in Charlotte Square.
The garden was originally laid out as a level circular form by William Weir in 1808.
In 1861 a plan was drawn up by Robert Matheson, Clerk of Works for Scotland for a larger, more square garden, centred upon a memorial to the recently deceased Prince Albert, the consort of Queen Victoria.
The commission for the sculpture was granted in 1865 to Sir John Steell. The main statue features an equestrian statue of the prince, in field marshal's uniform, dwarfing the four figures around the base. It was unveiled by Queen Victoria herself in 1876. The stone plinth was designed by the architect David Bryce and the four corner figures are by David Watson Stevenson (Science and Learning/Labour), George Clark Stanton (Army and Navy) and William Brodie (Nobility). The statue was originally intended to go in the centre of the eastern edge of the garden, facing down George Street.
This remodelling featured major new tree-planting which took many years to re-establish.
The central open space is a private garden, available to owners of the surrounding properties. For the last three weeks in August each year Charlotte Square gardens are the site of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
The railings around the gardens were removed in 1940 as part of the war effort. The current railings date from 1947.
On the north side, No. 5 was the home of John Crichton-Stuart, 4th Marquess of Bute (1881–1947), who bought it in 1903 and gave it to the National Trust for Scotland on his death. It was the Trust headquarters from 1949 to 2000. Bute did much to promote the preservation of the Square.
Nos. 6 and 7 are also owned by the National Trust for Scotland. No.6, Bute House is the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland. In 1806 it was home to Sir John Sinclair creator of the first Statistical Account of Scotland. No. 7 was internally restored by the Trust in 1975 to its original state, and is open to the public as The Georgian House. The upper floor was formerly the official residence of the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. The building includes one fireplace brought from Hill of Tarvit in Fife in 1975.
West Register House, formerly St. George's Church, forms the centre of the west side. It was designed by the architect Robert Reid in 1811, broadly to Adam's plan. The church opened in 1814 and was converted to its current use in 1964. It is one of the main buildings of the National Records of Scotland.
The New Town is a central area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. A masterpiece of city planning, it was built in stages between 1767 and around 1850, and retains much of its original neo-classical and Georgian period architecture. Its best known street is Princes Street, facing Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town across the geological depression of the former Nor Loch. Together with the Old Town, the New Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbərə/; Scots: Edinburgh; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Èideann [ˈt̪uːn ˈeːtʲən̪ˠ]) is the capital of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. Historically part of the county of Midlothian (interchangeably Edinburghshire before 1921), it is located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore.
Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the supreme courts of Scotland. The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the monarch in Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, philosophy, the sciences and engineering. It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom (after London) and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most visited tourist destination attracting 4.9 million visits including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018.
Edinburgh is Scotland's second most populous city and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. The official population estimates are 488,050 (2016) for the Locality of Edinburgh (Edinburgh pre 1975 regionalisation plus Currie and Balerno), 518,500 (2018) for the City of Edinburgh, and 1,339,380 (2014) for the city region. Edinburgh lies at the heart of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland city region comprising East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.
The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of four in the city, is placed 20th in the QS World University Rankings for 2020. The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Birds on wires in Paull, East Yorkshire. I can't read music, but if I could would these music notes formed by these birds be Leonard Cohen's 'Bird on a Wire"?
Note from a photographer: She's the star! Tight frame. The shallow DoF focuses on the face of the lady dancer while everyone else is slightly blurred. The red trim line of the dress leads the viewer to her face. The nose of the male dancer points right to the lady's eyes. So does the nose of the sitting woman. The bright red bonnet draws attention to the dancing lady's face as does her partner’s yellow hat. Blue, yellow, red, and white–stunning complementary colors–all faintly mirrored in her dress too.
