I snapped this on the steps of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne.
I love their expression and the framing of the railing on the left. However, I wish I had moved around to capture at least a three-quarter face rather than this angle.
Their eyebrows suggest to me they are concerned about something. Or perhaps they are observing their surroundings with deep contemplation. What do you think they are thinking about?

On Thursday, March 31, Erie observed the International Transgender Day of Visibility for the first time. Transgender community members and their friends and family came together to talk about the discrimination and difficulties faced by transgender people, but also their strength and growth, and to advocate for Pennsylvania to pass the Fairness Act. Currently, there is nothing at the state level that protects people in the areas of employment, housing and public accommodations on the bases of gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation. Those categories have been covered by the Erie County Human Relations Commission since March 8, 2002.
Erie Times News covered the event and included a photo and article in the next day's edition.
Speakers at the event included Caitlyn Strohmeyer, Melanie Shubitowski, Tyler James Titus, and Jewels, an 11 year old trans girl. Supporters spoke as well, including Ashley, a professor at Behrend writing a children's book for trans youth as a community project.
The event was initially organized by Daye Pope of Equality PA Trans and Caitlyn Strohmeyer of TransFamily of NW PA. The event was originally slated to be in Perry Square, but was moved to the Mental Health Association of NW PA, 1101 Peach St, Erie PA, due to thunderstorms in the weather forecast.

這張記錄着當年我們在新竹尖石鄉新樂國小觀星的回憶。這裡是新竹唯一可以觀星的地方。我並沒有拍到比較好的雙子座流星雨，因為我那時不斷地改變鏡頭的方向，只為了尋找流星雨，但我總是把鏡頭對準流星雨出現的相反方向。不過後來我才發現到，這張比單純拍到流星雨要更有意義，因為我記錄了更多的人性。愛這張。
Observe the sky, Dec. 14th, 2012.
We were here at Hsin Le elementary school, Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County, Taiwan. It is the only acceptable place for observing night sky in Hsinchu. I didn't take a shot of Geminids meteor shower, since I constantly shifted my camera in order to search the meteor shower. However, I always point my lens toward a sky opposed to the meteor shower. Finally, I came out with that this shot is more meaningful than those only contain meteor shower, because I recored people in the scene that give us more humanity. Love it.

Working on assignments in Soho in the late 1960s, Elvin Brodie covered routine street scenes and night work with the police and charity workers - including raids and rescue missions - as they watched out for young peope in danger of being caught up in Soho's criminal underworld.

From Shot In Soho (October 2019 - February 2020)
Although the area of Soho is relatively small (one square mile) and bordered by some of London’s richest and most commercialised streets, it has remained a complex place of unorthodoxy, diversity, tolerance and defiance.
Shot in Soho is an original exhibition celebrating Soho’s diverse culture, community and history of creative innovation as well as highlighting its position as a site of resistance.
Through a range of photographs, ephemera and varied presentations, the project reflects the breadth of life in a part of the capital that has always courted controversy and celebrated difference. It comes at a time when the area is facing radical transition and transformation with the imminent completion of Cross Rail (a major transport hub being built on Soho’s borders) set to make a landmark impact on the area.
This is a rare opportunity to see outstanding images from renowned photographers including William Klein, Anders Petersen, Corinne Day, alongside other photographers whose work in Soho is lesser known such as Kelvin Brodie, Clancy Gebler Davies and John Goldblatt. The show also includes a new commission by Daragh Soden.
The exhibition draws on the history, the myths and the characters of this hotbed of unpredictability, disobedience, eccentricity and tightly-knit communities.
Part movie-set, part crime scene, part unfolding spectacle, Soho in recent decades has been the centre of the music, fashion, design, film and the sex industry – a place of unresolved riddles, a place of shadows and also somewhere to call home for incoming French, Italian, Maltese, Chinese, Hungarian, Jewish and Bengali communities – perhaps here is the prototype for multicultural open London.
Aston-ishingly Soho has remained a village at heart – maybe due in part to the way it was purposefully hidden from view behind Nash’s sweeping Regent Street crescent – there tucked away and locked within a tight street grid that has remained unchanged for centuries.
In many ways Soho has remained London’s rebellious teenager. It has been a place where anything goes and as creative as it has been sleazy.

PAKISTAN OBSERVES THE SECOND INTERNATIONAL MEDIA ETHICS DAY 2012
Mishal Pakistan in collaboration with the Center for International Media Ethics (CIME) and the Center for Media Research and Development celebrate the second International Media Ethics Day in Pakistan at the Royal Palm Country Club, Lahore.
CIME Ambassador, Puruesh Chaudhary in her opening remarks said “the media industry, think tanks, academia, civil society organizations, public and private need to realize the significance of globalization, understand the social, cultural, political and religious values, which strengthens the fundamental rights of individuals and societies”.
Joining the debate on ethical dilemmas and the future of journalism were Adrian Monck, Director Communications at the World Economic Forum, Kirsten Mogensen, Assistant Professor Roskilde University, Amjad Hussain Honorary Executive Director and Founder, Center for Media Research and Development, Shafqat Abbasi, Chairman Press Council of Pakistan, Amir Jahangir, CEO Mishal Pakistan, Dr. Anjum Zia, Chairperson Mass Communication Department Lahore College Women University.
The aim of the Media Ethics Day is to mobilize the journalism community and provide journalists around the world with an opportunity to discuss the challenges faced on the media ethics issues, examine case studies, and participate in role-plays and debates related to the various ethical dilemmas they might expect to face on the job.
From the World Economic Forum, Adrian Monck said the future of journalism is digital and data. The hope for journalism is being more data focused and a more digital savvy group of people who still want to bring interesting information to the public domain, who have skills and the tools to successfully share knowledge”. I hope that the journalism education can be that bridge, he further added.
In 2011, there were more than 300 participants in 11 countries, this year the event has doubled in size, with 23 locations globally. Amjad Hussain, Honorary Executive Director and Founder, Center for Media Research and Development, said there is a need to create more industry-academia linkages, which can foster collaborations to enable a knowledge-based society.
Amir Jahangir, CEO Mishal Pakistan, on the occasion said the Pakistani information ecosystem needs to develop a mechanism, which can distinguish between good and bad journalism. Only then the society can appreciate the quality of ethical journalism in the country. A media credibility barometer or index can ensure in raising the bar of journalism standards in the country.
The CIME Forum also organizes an annual event that brings together media professionals for training, panels and discussion in ethical practices. The Forum is held each year in a different region in the world, in order to reach a wider community of journalists and connect ethical issues of local relevance with those of the broader international media community.
The International Media Ethics Day is being celebrated in: Albania (Tirana), Benin (Cotonou), Cameroon (Yaoundé), Ghana (Accra), Germany (Calw /Baden-Württemberg), Hungary (Budapest), Ivory Coast (Abidjan), India (Jamshedpur), Myanmar (Mandalay), Nepal (Kathmandu), Nigeria (Lagos), Nigeria (Mkar), Pakistan (Lahore and Islamabad), Peru (Monterrico), Romania (Iasi), Russia (Moscow), Vanuatu, Afghanistan (Herat), Nigeria (Abuja); Palestine (Birzeit); Uganda (Mbarara); Argentina (Buenos Aires)
The Center for International Media Ethics - CIME, a non-profit organization with staff members operating across several continents teamed up with Mishal Pakistan, a social enterprise, specializing in media and communication for policy design in a bid to bring together a network of journalists and students in Pakistan to provide training, discussion and expertise in the ethics of their profession.
CIME and Mishal Pakistan, along with several other stakeholders intend to promote respect for truth, accuracy and privacy by engaging relevant stakeholders to create dialogue on ethical practices through training programmes on quality reporting that results in educating the public. The two organizations would drive the emphasis that journalists together have the power to formulate a tacit code of ethics as a status quo of their profession, which is evolved and observed, mutually by the community, the regulatory authority and relevant stakeholders.

Day Four in Prague ... the New Town ... and the Prague Botanical Garden, even though it is winter!
Although December is just about the least visual time of year to visit an outdoor botanical garden in a cold-weather country, we really wanted to see it. Although most of the flowers were hibernating for winter, there were trees and other things of interest ... plus the glasshouse.
Prague Botanical Garden is located in the Troja Chateau (Trojský zámek) section of the city. The garden was first established in 1969 for scientific purposes but is now open to the public. The garden covers about 4.5 hectares and is located close to the Prague Zoo.

Copenhagen based photographer Thomas Rousing, captures the beauty of everyday life in the city. He seeks to explore the interestingness of making images filled with endless details and beautiful colors.
This photo of a Herring Gull, Larus argentatus, flying over a lake in the common area of Corner Stone Lake Park was taken on Friday, March 20th, 2020. Herring Gulls build their nests in open areas close to shallow bodies of water. This is done so they can see potential predators and prey. They hunt by soaring to great heights, and plunge-dive to scoop up prey located near shallow water. Typical diets include fish, marine invertebrates, and insects. The natural system observed in the photo is in dynamic equilibrium. This means that there is constant change between inputs and outputs of the system that are directed towards a steady state.
If invasive species (e.g. filter feeder quagga mussels) were introduced to the dynamic system above, it would become a non-steady system. This means that inputs would be far greater than the outputs (or vice versa) and leads to a runaway system. An invasive species is non-native and would competitively exclude native species in the area for resources. This leads to harmful effects on the ecosystem. We are able to prevent true invasions by using the precautionary principle. Anything that we do not fully understand the effects of should be resisted at all costs.

I observed about two dozen of these Common Nighthawks flying over our house heading in a southerly direction. By the time I grabbed my camera, most of them had already passed!
Painting inspired by the scanner art, acrylic paint on canvas, approx A1. This goes with the squirrel conversation.
in these days its possible to feel too seen... that we are observed and recorded in too much detail... that this is there for others to infer and imply... in the guise of our own safety we are exposed like no other time whether by choice or chance decisions are made on those footprints left... accounting for a disembodiment of self that is necessarily abbreviated... strange times indeed.
On Sunday afternoon, 19th January 2020, the Reverend Paul Robinson was welcomed to his new ministry in the Diocese of Cork, as priest–in–charge of the Parish of Saint Anne, Shandon, and as Chaplain to Saint Luke’s Home, Cork.
The Bishop of Cork, the Right Reverend Paul Colton, presided and, having welcomed the Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Dr John Sheehan, asked the congregation, as of first importance, to observe a minute’s silence to remember Cameron Blair and his bereaved family. Cameron Blair, a young 20–year old student from the Diocese, was killed on the previous Thursday night in the city.
Saint Anne’s Church, Shandon, was full for the occasion with parishioners, clergy and readers from the Diocese, visiting clergy and readers from England and Wales, representatives of partner organisations of the parish, and a contingent of 60 parishioners from Paul’s former parish in the Diocese of Liverpool.
The preacher was the Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon, Dean of Llandaff, in the Church in Wales. Among the clergy of the Diocese present were the Deans of Cork, of Cloyne and of Ross. The Rev Paul Robinson was presented to the Bishop by the Archdeacon, the Venerable Adrian Wilkinson. All of the arrangements were overseen by the Rural Dean of Cork City, Canon Dr Daniel Nuzum.
The choir of Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork, crossed the river to sing the Service. The organists were Adam Nuzum (parish organist in Shandon), Robbie Carroll (Assistant Director of Music at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral), and Peter Stobart (Director of Music at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral).
Saint Luke’s Home was represented by the CEO, Tony O’Brien, Mrs Joan Jeffery, and by social worker Eugene Browne, as well as by some of the members of the Board of Directors: Alan Campbell, Derek Dunne and Ann Hevers.
Remarking that this is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, the Bishop welcomed especially ecumenical visitors: Fr John O’Donovan together with a group of his parishioners from the Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Anne nearby, Sister Antonia Murphy (Presentation Sisters) Sister Placida and Sisters at the North Presentation Convent, Fr Maurice Colgan, Dominican Pope’s Quay, the Rev Mike O Sullivan, Non–Subscribing Presbyterian Church, Dr Bejoy Philip from Mar Thoma Community, Cork, as well as representatives from Trinity Presbyterian Church, and the Religious Society of Friends.
Other local organisations in the city that work in partnership with the parish represented included: the Firkin Crane Centre, the Shandon Area Renewal Association, Eco–Congregation and Climate Justice. Pádraig Rice, Coordinator of the Cork Gay Project was present, as were representatives of LINC, and Choral ConFusion. Cllr Dan Boyle (Cork City Council) was also present.
Following the licensing and and speeches of welcome by the Bishop, Stephen Spillane (on behalf of the Parish), Tony O’Brien (on behalf of Saint Luke’s Home). Paul Robinson himself spoke about his strong sense of God’s calling to this new place and ministry, and he thanked everyone for their welcome. Afterwards everyone enjoyed the hospitality of the parish in the Maldron Hotel next door.

Lições de outros animais, por Adair Philippsen*
“Os animais são melhores que nós!”
Ernesto Sabato
Pena que, dos demais seres do reino animal, só imitemos o sorriso da hiena, as lágrimas do crocodilo, os amigos da onça, a ferocidade do leão (do IR). Pena que só concebemos bodes expiatórios, vacas de presépio, ovelhas negras, abutres, parasitas, chatos, sanguessugas etc. Lamentável, pois as lições dos bichos são bem diversas.
Mantêm suas moradas, andam, voam e nadam libertos na natureza, sem a ficção do Estado constituído. Seus líderes não comandam por medidas provisórias. A convivência, até com os vegetais, não é regrada por textos legislativos. E nem eventuais litígios são dirimidos por tribunais. Movem-se em paz, sem moeda, e sem Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário e o restante do aparato estatal de segurança (as gazelas perseguidas pelos guepardos que o digam), transporte (a colisão de borboletas no ar ou o excesso de carga das formigas passam ao largo de regulamentos), saúde (não dispõem de rede hospitalar e sequer têm acesso a drogas químicas), previdência (o abate do velho boi de canga é o exemplo clássico da falta de aposentadoria por tempo de serviço), turismo (a circulação de andorinhas de outras freguesias acontece sem vistos de entrada, passaportes, alfândegas). E funciona. E como funciona.
Os cães permanecem de guarda 24 horas sem lhes ocorrer exigir a redução da jornada de trabalho. As vaquinhas nas estrebarias jamais exigiram adicional de insalubridade (em contrapartida, já são acusadas – por nós é óbvio – de contribuir com seus gases para o aumento do efeito estufa). Os pássaros canoros não exigem cachês por seus concertos. As cigarras não entram em greve: recolhem-se. O tico-tico cria os filhos do chupim sem conceber a idéia de despejar os intrusos do ninho. O panda, sem cobrar direitos, não se opõe à livre circulação de sua imagem. O macho da viúva-negra, mesmo ciente de que servirá de pasto à aranha depois do amor, não procura analista e nem propõe separação à companheira. As gorilas não se submetem a cirurgia estética ou enxertos de silicone. As aves de rapina não se escondem por temor de ordem de prisão e contra elas não se tem notícia de instauração de CPI. Os herdeiros das cabras sacrificadas não visam à indenização sequer por dano moral. A zebra, desde sempre, contentou-se com o figurino listrado em preto e branco sem pensar em substituir a roupa, conquanto pareça que vai sair definitivamente de moda devido à ameaça de seu desaparecimento (por obra nossa, lógico).
Até em cativeiro, o comportamento dos bichos em nada lembra os humanos: está por acontecer o primeiro motim de ratos de laboratório ou de canários-belgas em gaiolas ou de hipopótamos em zoológicos ou ainda de peixes em aquário.
São ene as lições. O galo lidera o terreiro mesmo sem campanha, eleição, caixa 2, e nem por isso se faz totalitário. O joão-de-barro constrói a casa com a idéia fixa no encanto da amada e na sorte da prole e, se enganado, não impõe cárcere privado à la Lindembergs (des)humanos. E, ante a dor da perda de filhote por queda do ninho, o universo todo sabe que o infortúnio é obra do acaso sem a menor semelhança com o ímpeto bestial do pai que arremessa a filha pela janela do apartamento.
Talvez os exemplos comovam: fiquemos com o sabiá. É claro que nos deve sensibilizar o calvário dos animais sob risco de extinção (alarmantes 38% das espécies do planeta) e dos que são vítimas de maus-tratos (vide cavalos esquálidos atrelados a carroças, vira-latas arrastados pela cidade, pingüins encharcados de óleo lançado no mar, ursos-polares em agonia pelo degelo etc.). Mas nos fixemos nos solfejos do sabiá. É desnecessário compreender o canto: como lembra Rubem Alves, basta amá-lo. Pois, extasiados com sua melodia, quiçá notemos nela a mensagem de que não somos melhores que os outros animais só porque não aprendemos suas melhores lições. As lições dos selvagens...

St. Helens was established as a river port on the Columbia River in the 1840s. In 1853, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company tried to make the city their only stop on the Columbia River.[7] Portland's merchants boycotted this effort, and the San Francisco steamship Peytona helped break the impasse.[7]
St. Helens was incorporated as a city in 1889.[8]
The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through and camped in the area that is now St. Helens on the night of November 5, 1805 while on their way to the Pacific Ocean. While here the party encountered Native Americans and Clark observed "low rockey clifts".[9]
