Murten – Centre Loewenberg
The steel skeleton system MIDI in combination with the installation system ARMILLA of => Fritz Haller, using the example of the SBB training center in Murten, Switzerland.
Developed in the 1960s and 1970s.
Based on the realization that the globalized society could no longer afford the luxury of an expensive, inflexible and partitioning monument mentality, Haller saw in the utilization of industrial assembly methods a possibility, in constant dismantling and construction, the shell of working and living according to the respective define functional requirements. This led to the three systems MAXI (from 1963), MINI (from 1969) and MIDI (from 1980), which have since been used internationally not only in industrial, but also in school buildings and in some cases even in residential constructions (MINI).
Fritz Haller was also instrumentally in the development of the USM Haller furniture system, which gained a worldwide renown.

Still playing leap frog with the BNSF 7972, I exited I-94. Lacking a place to park, we went to the entrance to Pompeys Pillar National Monument. Trains are my national monument, so my mom entered the historical site and I walked a half mile to an overpass. 40 minutes later, it wasn't the train I expected. It was a westbound oil train.
Doing a bit more research I found "The Official Northern Pacific Railway Guide: For the Use of Tourists and Travelers" books.google.com/books?id=JA5FAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA151#v=one...
In April 1880 Sir Frederick Borden shewdly purchased a valuable house and property on Main Street, Canning, N.S. Canada from Edward Harris for only $2,100, a property that Harris had bought for $4,000 and on which he had done some $1,000 worth of repairs.The Old Place as Borden initially named it, later bore the grander,more dynamic title " Borden Place ". It is now a federal and provincial heritage property.

This is the prize we were after on our Half Dome hike in early October. The idea for this shot came from landscape great, David Muench. Here's a link to his version. David's work is my #1 source of inspiration for my own photography. But, some flickr contributors are also amazing me with their work, and I'm indebted to their work as well.
A note about this tree: you'll notice, if you compare the 2 pictures, that branches have been removed from the tree since David's picture was taken. We presume they became fuel for a nearby fire pit. I wish there was some way to protect treasures like this. It seems just you and I 'see' the beauty of such creations and respect them enough to leave them alone.
Thanks for viewing. Comments appreciated.
Information on the subject:
I thought this was the most unusual thing I saw on the Alaskan cruise in the water. These two bodies of water were merging in the middle of the Alaskan gulf and there was a foam developing only at their junction.
I thought this was an example of a Halocline described on Wikipedia. A few people have commented that a Halocline is more of a horizontal phenomenon and this is more vertically oriented.
I am pretty confident that what you are seeing is a result of the melting glaciers being composed of fresh water and the ocean has a higher percentage of salt causing the two bodies of water to have different densities and therefore makes it more difficult to mix. I'm told they will eventually mix given enough time.
People have asked me if I just happened to look out over the edge of the ship deck and see this. Actually I had been on the deck for quite some time when I noticed what appeared to be a shadow cast by clouds over the ocean about 5 miles in front of the ship. As we approached the shadow I realized it was something different. I took many shots up to the point I shot this one, but never posted them until a year after this image went viral. I really posted them to convince people I did not Photoshop this image. See the other shots here.
Information on the photograph and high view count:
On January 20, 2011, this image was viewed 71,000 times in one day. That was more times than all my other photos, sets, collections, and photostream for the 18 months prior to that date and on that date this photo was not even registered as my most interesting according to Flickr. You can see them here in my other most interesting photos according to Flickr.
On September 20, 2011, this image went through another viral surge and was viewed 177,456 times that one day, almost 50% of the total number of views it had seen since I first posted it. The following day it only saw 98,285 views. And by the 3rd day it was back to it's prior daily view level of about 500-1000 views per day.
On September 22, 2011, I was asked by Yahoo News if they could use the photo on their images of the week pages. news.yahoo.com/photos/snapshots-week-of-june-3-1307133161...
If you want to read about this amazing high view count phenomenon see this link with the details.
The original site to start all the craziness was Tumblr and as of Jan 22, 2011, the number of comments on Tumblr alone was over 6,400. On March 7, 2011 Tumblr recorded 24,546 likes, comments, and rebloggs. As of Dec 23, 2011 16:00 the Tumblr notes were over 58,000 and climbing about 75 per minute.
The interestingness finally changed and on Jan 22, 2011 this photo was up to #23 in my photostream. As of February 13, 2011, it is up to #20. You can view all of them with a black background and they look much more impressive. As of February 12, 2011, it hit 100,000. On April 2 it hit 200,000 views with 352 favorites and 3 galleries.
In April 2012, the image reached 750,000 views and reached 1,000 favorites. On August 30, 2012 it hit 800,000 with 1,085 favorites and 10 gallery entries.
The AlaskaDispatch ran an article by Ben Anderson on February 5, 2013, discussing this phenomenon and linked back to this page referencing the large number of views it has seen. You can read Ben's article here.
On November 20, 2013, Hoax or Fact reported this was the 7th most viewed of the articles on their site www.hoaxorfact.com/Most-Read.html
In early December, in honor of the image crossing 1,000,000 views I created a Merging Oceans Facebook page just for fun. Technically the view count crossed 1 million on December 11, 2013, but a problem with Flickr view count froze all views that day and did not continue counting lifetime views until December 12. That afternoon it showed the 1 million view crossing. People have commented that Flickr changed the view count system a while ago and made views arbitrarily higher than in the past, not necessarily related to the actual views, but this image has seen a pretty constant run of views per day since it first went viral, long before the view count system change.

"The imagination is not a State: it is the Human Existence itself
Affection or Love becomes a State, when divided from Imagination
The Memory is a State always, & the Reason is a State

I took this photo as a slide in 1977 but never knew anything about the building. It disappeared a year later and has been parking space for the neighboring businesses. I found out recently through the Goshen Historical Society Museum that it was built as a car dealership called REO or Ransom Eli Olds in 1914 on the main drag in downtown Goshen. It served as a dealership and garage. REO was a huge supporter of good roads and announced plans to build the REO Highway to the Great Lincoln Highway, connecting Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.

(James Waltz & LeRoy Noel - 1914-20 - selling Reo autos. Later Dodge (1921-42), Buick (1954-57), Edsel-Lincoln (1957). Demolished in 1978)
I wonder if the wheel you see in the historic photo was still inside the enclosure seen here?
UPDATE: I talked to Rod Pletcher at the Goshen Historical Museum yesterday who remembered the car dealership that was here when he was a kid. I asked about the REO wheel in the peak and he said it was still inside of the enclosure you see here when the building was demolished in 1978. The owner was willing to give it away but no one rescued it. Apparently the building was damaged so badly during the blizzard of 1978 when the roof of the back addition collapsed under record snowfall.
I have had this bottle in the window for many years but just found out how many medical problems the Chamberlain family claimed could be fixed by taking their concoction:
Eczema, yellow fever, Asiatic cholera, chilblains, catarrh, sea sickness, diphtheria, pimples, bee stings, dysentery, scarlet fever, sour stomach, measles, cramps, neuralgia, hysterics, cholera, diarrhea, bloody flux, nervous headache, sprains or wounds, toothache, cold feet, bloody flux, spotted fever, nervous tremors, bilious fever, sore throat, chicken cholera and coughs or colic in man or beast.
If we were living at the turn of the last century it would probably be easier to understand what half of those even are.
Nice bottle though!
A pair of June 1998 shots looking down the short Burlington branch alongside Sangamon Street in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood- this one looks north from Cullerton. This trackage has now been removed.
This trackage connected the mainline to the Lumber District trackage at Cermak. At this datet it was still in use- but I've only ever seen one photo of a train along this stretch- hopefully someone out there has some (hint).
I also found this fascinating 1914 accident report involving a CB&Q freight and a Chicago streetcar at the Sangamon / 22nd St. intersection: books.google.com/books?id=m2EaAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA256&d...

Description: Orthemis is a neotropical genus of dragonflies in the order Odonata, subordem Epipocrita (= Epiproctophora), infraorder Anisoptera, superfamily Libelluloidea, family Libellulidae and subfamily Libellulinae. The males and females of O. aequilibris possess varying tones in coloration as can be seen in a link below. In all, this is a male.
You can see more pictures of Orthemis here: www.allodonata.com/
The larvae are aquatic predators.
There is a wing membrane surrounding the hyaline nodus with a black costal vein. 10 abdominal segments seem to be present. Through observation alone and measuring with a ruler without a specimen in hands, I believe the wingspan lies somewhere around 105mm or close. Males in this genus tend to have more impacting colors than females.
Supposedly, they are of Neotropical distribution
Adults of Orthemis are aerial hunters and will predate insects in general. Their eyesight is pretty much on pair with all Odonata I've seen. They are often seen perching on a twig and can be found in humid habitats, most often forests, suburban and rural habitats.

Straw Hat Day, when it was customary for men to put away their winter felt hats and don their summer straw hats, used to be a widespread tradition during the month of May.
The exact date for this seasonal switch from "felts" to "straws" differed from place to place, with May 13, May 15, May 25, or the second Saturday in May variously cited as the appropriate day to begin wearing straw hats. On some campuses, Straw Hat Day was a student celebration, and in other areas, it was an opportunity for clothiers and hatters to promote their wares.
Someone created this card with an unlucky black cat as part of a Straw Hat Day observance, but I'm not sure how it was used. Perhaps it was an advertisement of some sort. See below for examples of newspaper ads and articles that confirm that Straw Hat Day was "unlucky for felts."
--------
"Unlucky? Are you superstitious? May 13th, unlucky for felts. Straw Hat Day. Get yours at the Co-op. $2.50--$3.00--$3.50--$4.00. Technology Branch, Harvard Co-operative Society...." Advertisement, The Tech (Cambridge: Massachusetts Institute of Technology), May 12, 1924, p. 4.
"Official Straw Hat Day. Wednesday, May 13th. Unlucky for felts! Select your straw hat now and be ready for the big day. New straws are now on display. See the windows tonight, then visit your favorite clothier tomorrow for a fitting. Don't be under a felt when Wednesday the Thirteenth dawns." Advertisement for clothiers, Lawrence Daily Journal-World, May 8, 1925, p. 10.
"Tomorrow, Thursday the 13th, will be 'unlucky for felts.' Tomorrow has been designated 'Straw Hat Day' and 'hay hats' will be all the rage and felts taboo. Even the black cat shown above [in an accompanying illustration] is reaching for a straw 'skimmer' and promises bad luck to all wearers of felt hats." "13th to Be 'Unlucky for Felts,'" San Jose News, May 12, 1937, p. 7.
Paris & London have this difference, that Paris exists for the foreigner, serves him; whilst in London is the Londoner, who is much in the foreigner's way. England has built London for its own use. France has built Paris for the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
copyright with permission of Harvard University Press - (page 390) of His Journals…. (18471856)
And for my friends the French spoken 'market' (we're SO global - WHEN will I have my Swiss German spoken Flickr site?! LOL ):
Il y a, entre Londres et Paris, cette différence que Paris est fait pour l'étranger et Londres pour l'Anglais. L'Angleterre a bâti Londres pour son propre usage, la France a bâti Paris pour le monde entier.
I also loved what Emerson wrote just before the a.m. quote! It's about the 'economy of water'.....
In Paris the stranger is struck with the beautiful fountains on the Place de la Concorde and gives Paris the preference to London. But this water is not drinkable, & the houses in Paris have no wells or pumps & buy all their water by the bucket from water carriers who bring it from certain springs..... - (and, later on, dated May-June 1848:) Paris has great merits as a city. Its river is made the greatest pleasure to the eye by the quays & bridges: its fountains are noble & copious..... (next page is not accessible on the web)
For us, nowadays, drinking water is NOT a problem, and in any case, nobody would be tempted by the waters of the Seine - but THAT is not the point!!! The Seine is there to dream about, to boat, to eat a highly overpriced meal ON the waters of this history and dream-laden river, it's mostly to walk along on the Left and Right Bank, to visit also the two islands which must be the most expensive ground of the whole of France....
We had loads of fun on our (so far) four trips on the boats cruising the river Seine, it's quite simply and most definitely the best way to see this city! THEN, when you've done the cruise, you can still decide to either go on to the Jardin du Luxembourg or any other park, or to do some light shopping or just walk to any of the close by museums, churches, cross the bridges and stare down in the same fashion as we starred up just some time ago, from our boat....

Charles Gesner van der Voort (1916-1991) was working in Shanghai for Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC). When he arrived in 1939, Huang Lijun (or Richard Huang in English; 1907-1971), was already working for the company.
His son Huang Weixin in Rotterdam contacted me when he read about the research for my book “Charles in Shanghai” and recognised his father in a 1936 office group photo: www.flickr.com/photos/161392673@N02/33096482348/
He told me his father did not tell much about his time with Holland-China Trading Company. After the People’s Republic of China took over the Republic of China in 1949, it was not considered positive to have worked for a foreign company in China. Huang Weixin, however, does remember his father and mother discussing helping HCHC employees in an internment camp in Shanghai. From March 1943 to August 1945, foreign enemy nationals were interned by the Japanese. Something else he heard was that ‘frozen company assets’ in Indonesia were released after WWII and this was positive, as his father received some extra money because of this.
During the cultural revolution (1966-1976), many things related to the past like photographs and documents were burnt. This is the reason his parents had almost no photos of themselves and so Huang Weixin and his brother and sister were very happy to find a photo of their father in my Flickr account: the 1936 company group photo. The fact that Huang Lijun was sitting in the front row, next to senior staff, indicates he had an important position in the company.
Huang Weixin studied International Economics at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and, surprisingly, came to Rotterdam himself in 1986 through an exchange program at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He finally got a Dutch PhD. He has been working for a Dutch bank - ex-Mees Pierson (Fortis, now ABN-AMRO) as a banker for commodity trade finance - the same business line of his father but from the banking side. Besides working as a banker, Huang Weixin has been teaching as well. He has continued some teaching activities after his retirement as a banker.
Upon arriving in the Netherlands in 1986, he tried to find out more about the company where his father had worked. However, knowing only the company name in Chinese - 好 时 洋行, Hǎo shí yángháng, which is the sound of the abbreviation Ho Chi plus yángháng , a special name of foreign companies before 1949 - he was not able to find anything.
Having retired a couple of years ago, his interest for his father’s history increased. Searching the internet for the Chinese name 好 时 洋行, he found an item for sale which had this name and the name in English (Holland-China Trading Company). This led to finding information on the internet about the research for my book.
If you read this and you also have relatives who worked for Holland-China Trading Company, please contact me at charlesinshanghai1939@gmail.com.

I added a filter in post-processing to this image, trying to minimize the really bad heat haze distortion that had given the photo a rather unpleasant bluriness. Never before had I seen The Famous Five from this angle, as I had never driven along this particular road. You can see the new coniferous trees that were recently planted along the fence line and within the field, added by the new landowners. I really hope that they let the row of granaries stay there.
In the morning of 25 September 2015, six of us were lucky enough to explore a tiny part of the land belonging to Frances and David Dover. For two of us (myself and our leader), this was our second visit - for the rest, it was a first time there. This photo was taken looking across the large pond on the Dovers' property.
I will copy and paste the description I posted on Flickr from our first visit to the Dover's acreage, on 7 August 2015 (to jog my own memory!):
"Yesterday, 7 August 2015, four of us were extremely fortunate to have the chance to visit the home and highly varied topographic 62-acre property belonging to Frances and David Dover. We felt honoured and privileged to meet and spend time with Frances and David, and also their daughter Carolyn and her husband Clair. A delightful family who welcomed us so warmly into their home and land.
This acreage of grassland, forest, rolling hills - and special gardens - is not far from Millarville, SW of Calgary. In fact, it's in an area that I often drive through when I only have time for, or only feel like doing, a short drive. Amazing what little gems exist out there.
This is not just a beautiful property, but is very special for various reasons. For one thing, read any history of Alberta and you will find the Dover family, including David's mother, Mary Dover. Second, among the trees and open "lawns", there are Peony flower beds, containing 100-150 heritage Peonies, each one different, that have now multiplied to more than 300 plants. Unfortunately, they bloomed a couple of weeks early this year, and all the flowers had gone to seed. Another open area had a different kind of ground cover - Thyme, which smelled wonderful. If I remember correctly, this was the open space where the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra performed on one occasion!
There are two large ponds on the property and another smaller area of water that they hope to turn into a Japanese Garden. It was while walking around the latter that a large brown 'shape' could be seen through the dense trees - a handsome Moose buck. I will look properly at the four or so photos I just managed to get and will slip one of them into my photostream sometime soon, just for the record, definitely not for the photo quality : ) This was also where a Great Horned Owl was seen flying through the trees by some of us (not me, ha!).
There are grassy paths winding through the acreage, up and down hill, that take David seven hours to mow. They are not pristine, velvety paths, but instead, they seem to take nothing away from the wildness of the whole area. One of the animals that have passed through is the Cougar. In fact, several years ago, I saw a video taken on a nearby (or adjacent?) property, where a 'kill' and night-time camera had been set up and a total of six different Cougar individuals were seen!
Even the Dover's home is unique and beautiful. It is completely built of concrete - floors, walls, ceilings, roof, deck, and so on. A Hummingbird feeder and regular bird feeders, set up on the patio, attract a variety of birds. We sat on the patio after our walk to eat our packed lunches - and to enjoy a delicious Orange Pound Cake that Frances had made for us, along with refreshing Iced Tea - thank you so much for this, Frances! Yesterday, while I was waiting for one of three tiny Calliope Hummingbirds to come back, I was lucky enough to see a little Mountain Chickadee, along with many Pine Siskins. We could also hear a Red-tailed Hawk in the area.
There is just so much I could write about this visit and family. Instead, or for now, I will add several links to more information on the Internet. This was a memorable day for us. Thank you so much, Frances and David, Carolyn and Clair, for being so kind and welcoming us into your home and gardens.

David's mother, Mary Dover (her father was A. E. Cross), was "a dynamic and distinguished Calgarian, particularly known for her work with the military during World War II." As well as being an army officer, and an alderman, she was also a preservationist. See the following link.

After our visit to the Dover's on 25 September 2015, I decided to drive eastwards along a road that I'd never driven before, until I reached the main road going south. From there, it was a fairly short drive to the Saskatoon Farm. As usual, I wandered round the grounds with my camera and then, when I was ready to leave, I ordered a pizza to take home with me. The inside of the gift shop has recently been renovated and they now have a pizza oven and area. Or should I say, they "had", as the last time I called in, I was told that they no longer make the pizzas.
Seen on a 1950 Fargo Panel Van.
On my way back home I decided to take the N4 as a short-cut between Luxemburg and Liège. Right before nightfall I came across an oldtimer garage along this N4. I was really astonished what I discovered there...
This unknown Fargo truck was in fact a rebadged Dodge vehicle. It also could have been a De Soto truck, while the Chrysler Corporation used these different brand names for the same utility vehicles.
I can't find any more info about this van.

Yesterday, 7 August 2015, four of us were extremely fortunate to have the chance to visit the home and highly varied topographic 62-acre property belonging to Frances and David Dover. We felt honoured and privileged to meet and spend time with Frances and David, and also their daughter Carolyn and her husband Clair. A delightful family who welcomed us so warmly into their home and land.
This acreage of grassland, forest, rolling hills - and special gardens - is not far from Millarville, SW of Calgary. In fact, it's in an area that I often drive through when I only have time for, or only feel like doing, a short drive. Amazing what little gems exist out there.
This is not just a beautiful property, but is very special for various reasons. For one thing, read any history of Alberta and you will find the Dover family, including David's mother, Mary Dover. Second, among the trees and open "lawns", there are Peony flower beds, containing 100-150 heritage Peonies, each one different, that have now multiplied to more than 300 plants. Unfortunately, they bloomed a couple of weeks early this year, and all the flowers had gone to seed. Another open area had a different kind of ground cover - Thyme, which smelled wonderful. If I remember correctly, this was the open space where the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra playing on one occasion!
There are two large ponds on the property and another smaller area of water that they hope to turn into a Japanese Garden. There is a total of seven wetland basins, including these. It was while walking around the latter that a large brown 'shape' could be seen through the dense trees - a handsome Moose buck. I will look properly at the four or so photos I just managed to get and will slip one of them into my photostream sometime soon, just for the record, definitely not for the photo quality : ) This was also where a Great Horned Owl was seen flying through the trees by some of us (not me, ha!).
There are grassy paths winding through the acreage, up and down hill, that take David seven hours to mow. They are not pristine, velvety paths, but instead, they seem to take nothing away from the wildness of the whole area. One of the animals that have passed through is the Cougar. In fact, several years ago, I saw a video taken on a nearby (or adjacent?) property, where a 'kill' and night-time camera had been set up and a total of six different Cougar individuals were seen!
Even the Dover's home is unique and beautiful. It is completely built of concrete - floors, walls, ceilings, roof, deck, and so on. A Hummingbird feeder and regular bird feeders, set up on the patio, attract a variety of birds. We sat on the patio after our walk to eat our packed lunches - and to enjoy a delicious Orange Pound Cake that Frances had made for us, along with refreshing Iced Tea - thank you so much for this, Frances! Yesterday, while I was waiting for one of three tiny Calliope Hummingbirds to come back, I was lucky enough to see a little Mountain Chickadee, along with many Pine Siskins. We could also hear a Red-tailed Hawk in the area.
There is just so much I could write about this visit and family. Instead, or for now, I will add several links to more information on the Internet. This was a memorable day for us. Thank you so much, Frances and David, Carolyn and Clair, for being so kind and welcoming us into your home and gardens.

slider sunday- this is the result of sort of an experiment. took this picture of a b&w photograph that i liked for a scavenger hunt and when i got it up on my laptop, i realized that the plastic sleeve had caused crinkles. so i played with the sliders, rendered it in sepia to minimize the 'texture', cropped it down and blurred the edges. instant "family heirloom" ~grin~

This is the second photo from a photo shoot on the University of Akron campus last week. Best seen in large size.
This is one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen in terms of reflective glass. I spent an afternoon a week ago in meetings here and of course had to capture this scene. Best seen in large view.
Polymer science (the study of macromolecules) has long been a research strength of the University of Akron (Akron, Ohio). Breakthroughs in the field over the years have given rise to many generations of rubber, plastic, and composite materials and products. Now one of the most innovative uses of polymers is in the medical devices and supplies field. The economic development importance of polymers was not well recognized until the late 1970s and early 1980s. I worked with a team back then giving birth to the idea of the "Polymer Valley" in Northeast Ohio, akin to the Silicon Valley in California's Bay Area, as a strategy to catalyze economic and job growth in the Akron and Cleveland areas.

This summer, I've been to more places that have Pine Siskins and so I have had a better look at them and, actually, have become quite fond of them. This one was seen near the feeder at Frances and David Dover's home, taken two days ago, on 7 August 2015.
"Flocks of tiny Pine Siskins may monopolize your thistle feeder one winter and be absent the next. This nomadic finch ranges widely and erratically across the continent each winter in response to seed crops. Better suited to clinging to branch tips than to hopping along the ground, these brown-streaked acrobats flash yellow wing markings as they flutter while feeding or as they explode into flight. Flocks are gregarious, and you may hear their insistent wheezy twitters before you see them." From AllaboutBirds.

The Spanish Custom House.
At the corner of Grand Rte. Saint John Street on Bayou St. John in New Orleans, La. 70119
Built in approx. 1784 for Don Santiago Lloreins.
Rebuilt after 1807 by Robert Alexander for Capt. Elie Beauregard.

Octan Energy's entry into the Wipeout series of races was a fast and feisty handful for its pilots. Built for speed, it was equipped with two massive engines from Whatt & Pritney. Much of the underside of its nose was given to heat exchanger pipes. This cooling array boosted the power of the engines considerably. If the designers had paid as much attention to the steering it might have been a successful racer.
"Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow."

This ship was inspired by images that I've seen of the Wipeout computer games. I've never played them, so I might have got some wrong ideas!
An iconic if pooly captioned(?) image from the Lawrence Collection today. Galway is famous for many things and the window in the foreground is one of those, perhaps even more than the beautiful church in the background?
And so today's discussion reflected the two main visible subjects: "Lynch's Window" to the foreground, and the Church of St Nicholas to the rear. The latter has captured our attention before - with today's discussion focusing on how the lack of a clock in the tower helps date the image to before 1898. The former, Lynch's Window, we hadn't previously discussed (despite practically gazing through it a year or so ago :) ). While the inscription below the window reflects a local legend (of a 15th century magistrate who prioritised loyalty to law and city over loyalty to family - and hung his own son), it could well be a folly of it's day. The suggestion being that the window and structure surrounding it were built of otherwise unrelated architectural fragments in the early 19th century. Whether the story or the structure are 15th century truths or 19th century follies, we're absolutely delighted that both remain part of the fabric of such a vibrant and historic city.....

CASTLEGAR is the second-largest community in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. In the Selkirk Mountains, at the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers, it is a regional trade and transportation centre, with a local economy based on forestry, mining and tourism. Castlegar was recently cited as one of the Top Eight Places in British Columbia for most promising growth. It is home to Selkirk College, a regional airport, a pulp mill, and several sawmills. Its population of 7,259 includes many Doukhobors, who were largely responsible for much of the town's early development and growth. The area which became Castlegar was an important centre for the Sinixt (Lakes) Peoples. Outside the city limits are the small surrounding communities of Ootischenia, Brilliant, Robson, Robson West, Raspberry, Tarrys, Thrums, Glade, Shoreacres, Fairview, Genelle, Pass Creek and Krestova, and the much smaller communities of Deer Park, Renata, and Syringa on Lower Arrow Lake. These outlying areas have a further population of about 8,000 people.
(from - Wrigley's 1918 British Columbia Directory) - CASTLEGAR - a Post Office and station at junction of the C.P.R. Nelson-Vancouver line, the Nelson-Rossland branch, and the Nelson-Arrow Lakes-Revelstoke line. Is 26 miles west of Nelson and 1 1/2 miles from Robson, the landing point of the Arrow Lake steamers, in the Trail Provincial Electoral District. The population in 1918 was 60. Local resources: Lumbering and farming.
The CASTLEGAR Post Office was established - 1 April 1902.

46s Exposure
Full Moon Feb 2011
Patrick Kavanagh and his mother
got lost, with their horse and cart, in a myriad of roads between Ardee and Iniskeen. Fairyland is a story from the Green Fool. They eventually find themselves at this exact spot. Strange little people were running around with bulbus faces. Walty Gernon appeared from the darkness on the right. Only for him (and his directions), Kavanagh and his mother would still be traveling the nebulous veins of County Louth.

.....not so far from the ancient roman columns of San Lorenzo, in the heart of Milan (Italy)
you can find the artistic street art which represent all the history of this magic city through the main important characters and events...
the citizens of Milan love this place near Porta Ticinese, one of the most characteristic place of the city... they love its history...
this is the creative imagination, the magic hands describing the history....

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SECESSION WAR BETWEEN THE SFORZA AND VISCONTI FAMILIES (RULERS OF MILAN)........
The advent of the Visconti signoria was accomplished in ways not much different from those which saw the affirmation of signorial regimes in so many other cities at that time. The definitive breach with past practice seemed to come in the late thirteenth century, firstly with Napoleone Della Torre and then, after the victory at the battle of Desio in 1277, with the new signori Ottone Visconti, Guglielmo, marquis of Monferrato, and Matteo Visconti. Certainly, even during the Francesco Sforza era, Milan as the capital continued to enjoy a series of privileges in taxation and food-supply compared to other cities of the duchy. The defeat of Lodrisio Visconti at Parabiago in 1339 marked the definitive containment of Mastino II Della Scala ambitions in western Lombardy and the indisputable primacy of the signori of Milan.

This is a child's grave site in Louisville, Kentucky. The statue over the grave is one of an angelic child praying. The image also reminds me of Cupid, the Roman god of affection. The ancient Romans liked to use the imagery of Cupid, typically chiseled as a child with two wings, on the sarcophagi of deceased children. It suggested "eternal childhood," which gave comfort to parents. Cupids also transcended boundaries.
Note on 2 January 2022: I have just found out that David Dover died on December 1, 2020. Such very sad news.
calgaryherald.remembering.ca/obituary/e-david-dover-10810...
In the morning of 25 September 2015, six of us were lucky enough to explore a tiny part of the land belonging to Frances and David Dover. For two of us (myself and our leader), this was our second visit - for the rest, it was a first time there.
A few minutes before reaching their property, I just had to pull over and take a couple of shots looking west over our beautiful foothills. The morning sun made the landscape almost glow. This area looks so beautiful in the winter, too. Talking of winter, snow was in the forecast for Saturday/Sunday but I see that has changed to just rain on Saturday, with a high of 5C, and sun for Sunday! Then we should be back to the low to mid teens again.
I will copy and paste the description I posted on Flickr from our first visit to the Dover's acreage, on 7 August 2015:
"Yesterday, 7 August 2015, four of us were extremely fortunate to have the chance to visit the home and highly varied topographic 62-acre property belonging to Frances and David Dover.

After our visit to the Dover's on 25 September 2015, I decided to drive eastwards along a road that I'd never driven before, until I reached the main road going south. From there, it was a fairly short drive to the Saskatoon Farm. As usual, I wandered round the grounds with my camera and then, when I was ready to leave, I ordered a pizza to take home with me. The inside of the gift shop has recently been renovated and they now have a pizza oven and area.
In 1686 the french historian Antoine Varillas wrote Histoire des révolutions arrivées dans l'Europe. Some 300 years later i bought the first volume of this book in a used bookstore in Tours (France). It's the oldest book in my library.

For Monday we have the installation of one of the most powerful and controversial figures in Ireland during the middle years of the last century. The name John Charles McQuaid still reverberates in Irish consciousness. With thanks to today's contributors, including swordscookie, sharon.corbet, and guliolopez, we have confirmation of date (late 1940), principal subject (John Charles McQuaid), location and a full description of the event in question - including details on those present, and their attire allowing us to name some of those who would otherwise be anonymous backs and nameless tops-of-heads....
