I was either 23 or 24 years old. More than half my life ago. I’d dropped out of college after 2 years, finding it inadequate. In reality, I was. It was a difficult notion to apprehend at that age, for me. So I returned to my hometown, found work with an optician, and settled back into a life of discomfort and failure, my dreams gone AWOL. Then, my older brother had a child. My parent’s first grandchild, my first nephew. Odd, being an Uncle. And a great responsibility, I thought, as I had two such creatures and was extremely fond of them both. I remember holding the baby at the window, watching birds, with which he was fascinated. They perched wildly back then and made every tree in the front yard look like Christmas. One of his first words, pointing toward the winged messengers, was... “bird.”
The boy had toys, including stuffed animals, but I thought he needed an exceptional teddy bear. I suppose this was because of my extraordinary love of the work of A. A. Milne. His books were always a philosophical comfort to me. Subconsciously, I expect I’ve always pursued an intimate simplicity in life. My father used to read to my nephew from “Now we are six,” (before the boy was that age) and I always loved the cadence and simple lilt of the lines flowing from Dad’s cigarette-darkened voice.
Finding such a bear proved to be no simple task. So I decided to make one for him. Now this was a curious notion, coming from a naive young man who knew nothing whatsoever about sewing or crafts. Though I believed my future was bleak, I also had, and still have, this particular belief: “There are no problems, only solutions waiting to be discovered.” So I read all I could on the subject. There was no Internet in that era. Google was the local library. Books. Books with pages of paper, not code, that smelled musty, used and loved. When you ran your fingers down the spine, there was a thrilling texture to the imprint or “boss.”
But making bears took more than books. It involved a lot of trial and error. It meant designing a pattern and then constructing an entire bear to see the results. Rather like editing. My revisions seemed endless. They were also costly, as the materials were expensive and had to be purchased in bulk from a wholesaler. Many months passed before I had a pattern I liked well enough to keep. Having studied the German methods for constructing a jointed bear -- with the arms legs and head able to move -- I now began the painstaking process of making (too long to go into any detail here) my first “real” bear. I presented it to my nephew and was surprised by the reaction. Now folks of all ages were asking me to make bears for them. I had some business cards made, emblazoned with the title “The Southern Goblin Co.” I had intended to eventually design other, stranger, animals.
I made about 30 bears and sold them all. They cost the customer either $35 or $45, depending upon the quality of material used. Alas, I was young and without guidance. Factoring in the value of the materials and my labor (and all was done by hand, as I thought of a sewing machine as somehow monstrously mass-producing and impersonal), I lost an enormous amount of money by selling them at that price. Had I known of the term “cottage industry” it is quite likely I would have prospered in time.
I have four bears left. I will post a photo soon of “the gang.” Hugh was for my own self, and he is worn from years of love. Still, after a quarter of a century, he is sturdy, hale & hearty. And he remains a special friend.
A Snowdrop with a little bit of iPiccy magic :-)
I am going to the opticians shortly to have the back of my eyes photographed, this entails having drops put in them that affect my vision for the rest of the day. Tomorrow I am going to hospital to see a surgeon for a check up and hopefully getting some news on when the reversal operation can take place. I will try to catch up with everyone over the weekend :-)

SR-71A #61-7972 is on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. From 1991 until September 2003, #972 was in storage at Washington Dulles International Airport in a building specifically constructed for this aircraft. There, it was under strict surveillance by National Air and Space Museum representatives, who regularly adjusted humidity levels to ensure the best possible preservation conditions. This aircraft is no doubt the best-looking of the remaining SR-71s, along with SR-71A #976.
This aircraft holds many records that were set on 6 March 1990, when it was flown from Palmdale to Dulles in what was intended to be the last USAF flight of the SR-71. It also holds the New York to London record of 1 hour, 54 minutes, 56.4 seconds set in 1974. You may have noted the Skunk Works insignia on the rudders of #972. After SR-71A #955's last flight on 24 January 1985, #972 became the Palmdale test aircraft. This aircraft's assembly started 13 December 1965 and was rolled out on 15 September 1966.

The pit Bindweide is a visitor's mine in Steinbach / Sieg in the administrative district Altenkirchen. The history of this pit decreases to 1837, at that time the claim of the pit field occurred. However, already about 1810 a deep tunnel was attached in the area. In 1852 the mining law were lent, and in 1864 the mining company began work.
Spavin and brown iron ore was extracted before all hematite, besides also. In 1869 the annual support amounted to 7.393 t of ore, in 1880 there were already 26.142 t of brown iron ore and hematite as well as 218 t of spavin iron stone.
Already in 1889 one reached a support of 99.491 tons of hematite and brown iron ore as well as 14.912 t of spavin iron stone. The extraction per month lay with maximum 10,000 tons. All together one promoted 5,123,810 t of iron stone. On the 30th of September, 1931 the company was concluded, but because of the rest stocks of approx. 11 million tons the pit was led as a reserve mine.
Hence, it was possible to alter the pit Bindweide in a visitor's mine. This happened from 1981, in 1986 the visitor's mine was opened. In June, 2006 300,000 visitor's borders was crossed.

The Grumman A-6 Intruder was an American, twin jet-engine, mid-wing attack aircraft built by Grumman Aerospace. In service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps between 1963 and 1997, the Intruder was designed as an all-weather medium attack aircraft to replace the piston-engined A-1 Skyraider. As the A-6E was slated for retirement, its precision strike mission was taken over by the F-14 Tomcat equipped with LANTIRN pod. A specialized electronic warfare derivative, the EA-6B Prowler, remains in service as of 2011.
Lots of bin bags for the windows, a +0.25 converging lens from my optician allows light to hit the wall focused at 4m (to form a camera obsura) but at the same time providing a larger aperture for more light. I blocked off all the light hitting the ceiling & floor to provide the most contrasty image possible. Nevertheless it’s hard to see much colour when your are actually there.
The sunlight was best in the late morning when it catches the windowsills of the pink building. In all the exposures were shorter than I expected, the cameras histograms help determine the perfect exposure time.

Adalaj Stepwell is a unique Hindu 'water building' in the village of Adalaj, close to Ahmedabad town in Gandhinagar district in the Indian state of Gujarat. The stepwell was built in 1499 by Muslim king Mohammed Begda for Queen Rani Roopba, wife of Veer Singh, the Vaghela chieftain. The step well or 'Vav', as it is called in Gujarati, is intricately carved and is five stories in depth. Such step wells were once integral to the semi arid regions of Gujarat as they provided basic water needs for drinking, washing and bathing. These wells were also venues for colorful festivals and sacred rituals.
Stepwells, also called stepped ponds, built between the 5th and 19th centuries, are common in the west of India; over 120 such wells are reported in the semi-arid region of Gujarat alone, of which the well at Adalaj is most popular. Stepwells are also found in more arid regions of the subcontinent, extending into Pakistan, to collect rain water during seasonal monsoons. While many such structures are utilitarian in construction, they sometimes include significant architectural embellishments, as in the Adlaj stepwell, which attracts a large number of tourists. In the past, these stepwells were frequented by travelers and caravans as stopovers along trade routes.
This optician's claims to have been founded in 1924. Let's just remember that following the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, this province, Shandong, was under Japanese protectorate.

Tristan Otto – the sons of the two owners lent their names to T. rex – will be available to the Museum für Naturkunde free of charge for the coming years for research and exhibition purposes. It originates from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana and was discovered in 2010. Its recovery and preservation took four years.
Since January 2015, the Museum has been working intensely on the exhibition and research programs focusing on the future crowd-puller that will be accessible to all visitors from 17/12/2015. At the same time, research on Tristan Otto will be ongoing, using cutting-edge technologies. Over the coming years, research results will be gradually fed into the exhibition.
Hi all!
Happy Easter! Hope you all have nice weekends planned?
Dull day yesterday! Woke up to grey skies and drizzle... set off for the optician for a something or other contact lens session, basically to check i'm not ruining my eyes by putting in the lenses. All fine.
Snapped this shot as it was too drizzly to get the camera out outside and this was the only thing I could think of! Set the camera to ISO 100 and rested it down on the floor and clicked the shutter. Took a few but this was the best aligned shot of them all! Definitely want to try this again with a person going up it! I got a 2ish second exposure I think which was ample to blur the movement of the steps.
Came home and spent the afternoon lazing about doing very little! Same story for the evening too really. NEeded to rest my legs! I'll keep telling myself that.
No real plans for today yet, take it as it comes I think. Sure something will present itself!
Have a cracking day and enjoy if you have a day off!

I have to pick up a new pair of glasses tomorrow from the opticians. It is not that I do not want to go, I just do not want new glasses. Not that they are very different from the ones I have now: they are very similar, in fact. So similar that I can guarantee it will take most people I see on a regular basis about six months to notice that they are different. They had some really cool octagonal (at least I think they were octagonal) frames that I liked, and some really cool round frames, but my face is too round for round frames (or even octagonal frames) to work. So, I stick to black, rectangular frames that are never as cool as you are promised when you are a child. See, the thing is, I was always told as a child that I could be really cool and have really cool glasses, like Harry Potter, and the glasses were never cool. Last time I asked for Star Wars glasses, but the lady in the opticians said I was too old for Star Wars glasses. I was not happy. Not that I ever am when it comes to glasses, because they are always too expensive (this time I opted out of paying £45 to have the lenses thinned down because I did not actually have any money with me at my appointment and so if I did not have them thinned, which I normally do, they would be free because the NHS still pay for them) or they get dirty really easily – that is the problem with wearing glasses all day every day, or they get in the way. Or they fall off. Or I fall asleep wearing them. Or I lose them – in that respect, at least, I am following in my father’s footsteps. And what annoys me the most is that my brother, who does not need to wear his glasses all the time, can pull glasses off so well.
Three guesses as to who is still bitter about their poor eyesight.
Graffiti Grove
For art like this you need no optician
It's in your face, instant cognition
Graffiti is art without permission
And there's no greater treasure trove
Than Waterloo Station's Graffiti Grove
A bit of London set apart
For wild daubs and urban art
But wait, my friend, what's happening here
Should fill street artists with mortal fear
For when such work has official sanction
Its funeral rites have been said and done
Guerilla art is no longer plied
Official endorsement is suicide

Peter and I have been friends for 49 years!
Each time we see him, he wears another pair of glasses, always the latest!
He is a live advert for his business!
Not many remain friends THAT long nowadays, people move more, then loose sight.
Not here, we live in different countries but always see each other when we can.
This was after the meal, a relaxed moment in the balmy night, on one of the most iconic places in Brugge, the Rozenhoedkaai.
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Back to the Optician today but too wild and windy to take my camera so I placed my new readers on top of this book when I got home. It’s a coffee table book entitled ‘100 Welsh Heroes’, quite an eclectic mix of them too. The page here is about the poet R.S. Thomars whose poetry I didn’t really appreciate as a student but developed an understanding for it in latter years. I added a Lightroom preset to give it a warmer look.
Today Jackie had a very expensive trip to the opticians but she's worth every penny. Anyway enough silliness. I walked the girls in the very muddy nearby woods not that they cared in the least and so five images of birds and moss for the walk.
The topmost sign has a phone number with an "ALB" exchange name. These 3 letter exchanges were phased out by the early 1960s when STD dialling was rolled out. This is therefore a very old sign. I looked it up and found that ALB stood for "Albert Dock"
Not really :) This optician shop is fairly contemporary (established 'last century' - in 1995), as is its sister (parent?) general medical clinic in the same building. What they share with the rest of the Temple area is respect for tradition and commitment to historic values - this sign is fully in style with the gem of a building they are blessed with...
Helia was trying on glasses in the optician's where I work. I walked up to her and asked if she could find a pair of glasses to her liking. We started talking about fashion design, graphic design, photography and about her job interview she had just had. She fell for these Tom Ford glasses. When I suggested she do an eye test she said that was not necessary, her vision was perfect. She wanted glasses for looks. Brilliant. If that's not luxury... (I hope she gets the job!)
last few pics of this wee guy, last one shows his bad eye, don't no if any of my flickr contacts are Opticians but any feedback would be appreciated.

Nassau Castle, located in Nassau, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, was the original seat of the House of Nassau. The ruins of the castle are situated on a rock outcropping about 120 m (390 ft) above the Lahn River. The House of Nassau was an aristocratic dynasty among whose descendants are the present-day monarchy of the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The castle was founded around 1100 by Count Dudo-Henry of Laurenburg (German: Dudo-Heinrich von Laurenburg), the founder of the House of Nassau. In 1120, Dudo-Henry's sons and successors, Counts Robert I (German: Ruprecht; also translated Rupert) and Arnold I of Laurenburg, established themselves at Nassau Castle with its tower. They renovated and extended the castle complex in 1124.
Because the castle stood at that time on the territory of the Bishopric of Worms, a bitter feud developed between the family of the two brothers and the Bishopric of Worms. Even when Robert I in 1124 inherited the position of the Bishopric of Worms' vogt in Weilburg, whose territory had included the former Königshof Nassau since 914, the conflict was not settled. When Robert I began calling himself the Count of Nassau after the castle, the Worms Bishopric disputed the title.
The dispute was only solved (and the title confirmed) in 1159, about five years after Robert’s death, under his son Walram I by the intervention of the Archbishop of Trier, Hillin of Falmagne. The Laurenburger family gave up their claim to allodial title and in return were given the fiefdom over the castle and town of Nassau from the archbishop. Thereafter, the Laurenburger family were titled the Counts of Nassau.
Walram I's son Henry II the Rich (Heinrich der Reiche) constructed the late-Romanesque main building (palas) of the castle between 1220 and 1230. In 1255, the Countship of Nassau was divided between Henry II's sons, Walram II and Otto I, in the so-called "Brothers' Division" (Bruderteilung). Nassau Castle, however, remained a common possession of the two brothers (the so-called Ganerbschaft in ancient Germanic hereditary laws).
In the first half of the 14th century, the still-extant five-sided 33 m (108 ft) high bergfried (similar to a keep) was built. A second castle tower is mentioned in 1346, but it no longer exists. During a family feud in 1372, the housing of the castle keepers was destroyed.
The counts lived in the castle until the end of the Middle Ages, at which time they gave it up as their residence. An etching by Matthäus Merian from 17th century shows an intact palas and bergfried as well as a gate building, but in the final phase of World War II, the remaining ruins were destroyed. When archeological surveys were done in 1970 to uncover the rectangular walls, only ruins were found.
The castle came into the possession of the State Castle Administration of Rhineland-Palatinate (Staatliche Schlösserverwaltung Rheinland-Pfalz) in 1965. Starting in 1976 restoration of the bergfried took place. Its hipped roof and merlon, as well as the side towers, were again reconstructed after the etching by Merian and the six to eight metres high arcaded vault in its interiors were restored. Furthermore, the opening to the dungeon of the tower was cleared. The reconstruction of the palas and its knights hall followed from 1979 to 1980. During the course of the restoration the late-Gothic window-arcades were rediscovered.
The main building today accommodates a restaurant, while the bergfried can be visited free of charge.

Akihabara is a district in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (autumn leaf field), which ultimately comes from Akiba, named after a fire-controlling deity for a firefighting shrine built after the area was destroyed by a fire in 1869.
Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly after World War II for being a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market.
Nowadays, Akihabara is considered by many to be an otaku cultural center and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and computer goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés are found throughout the district.
The area that is now Akihabara was once near a city gate of Edo and served as a passage between the city and northwestern Japan. This made the region a home to many craftsmen and tradesmen, as well as some low class samurai. One of Tokyo’s frequent fires destroyed the area in 1869, and the people decided to replace the buildings of the area with a shrine called Chinkasha, meaning fire extinguisher shrine, in an attempt to prevent the spread of future fires. The locals nicknamed the shrine Akiba after a deity that could control fire, and the area around it became known as Akibagahara and later Akihabara.
In 1890, the Akihabara Station became a major freight transit point, which allowed a vegetable and fruit market to spring up in the district. Then, in the 1920s, the station saw a large volume of passengers after opening for public transport, and after World War II, the black market thrived in the absence of a strong government. This disconnection of Akihabara from government authority has allowed the district to grow as a market city and given rise to an excellent atmosphere for entrepreneurship. In the 1930s, this climate turned Akihabara into a future-oriented market region specializing in household electronics, such as washing machines, refrigerators, televisions, and stereos, earning Akihabara the nickname "Electric Town".
As household electronics began to lose their futuristic appeal in about the 1980s, the shops of Akihabara shifted their focus to home computers at a time when they were only used by specialists and hobbyists. This new specialization brought in a new type of consumer, computer nerds or otaku.
The market in Akihabara naturally latched onto their new customer base that was focused on anime, manga, and video games. The connection between Akihabara and otaku has survived and grown to the point that the region is now known worldwide as a center for otaku culture, and most otaku even consider Akihabara to be a sacred place.
Spent a lot of time waiting for Dad at the Opticians..they told him to keep an"eye" on it ..lol so what did i do..yep snap snap! :)

On the way home from the optician, I asked to stop at Columbia Lake to take a shot for 100x, the landscape project. They had put drops in my eyes to dilate the pupils, making them light sensitive, so I had to shoot the photos blind. With sunglasses I could see the landscape, but not the phone screen.
I've had a lot of trouble with vision lately. The good news is, my eyes are healthy. The prescription has shifted only slightly in 3 years. The problem seems to be mostly to do with fatigue. I have one eye that's slightly lazy. I've known about it for years, but I never noticed the problem until this year. It's getting harder to focus on things in front of me, especially when I'm tired -- in other words, most of the time.

Things I have learned today.
Never go and get your haircut during your break at work and ask the hairdresser to give you a shortie - he will take you at your word and you'll then have to go back to work and have everyone look at you with a sort of "wow, that's quite short" sort of look in their eyes.
Secondly, don't ask the optician to leave your tester specs on when you're having your eyes tested and tell her it's so you can take a photo of yourself or you may find that she will fall about laughing and telling you that's the best thing she's heard in ages :o) She was lovely actually and very accommodating to my 365 needs - new glasses have now been ordered so expect them to make an appearance in the next week or so ...

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.
It was so hot, today!! I took a walk at my lunch time and right away needed something cool to drink and I quit soda drinking seven years ago and I am more of a Pepsi but this looked so inviting, than I realized I was looking at an opticians store window and this was just a decor!!! LOL!! Had to have a shot of it, and the eye glasses so cool exactly the same same shape of mine but different colors!! hmmm, should maybe get this one too or instead a camera lens!! hahaha, I guess a camera lens!! I am satisfied to have this shot!! and it reminded me of a song by Charles Aznavour titled "Formidable", nothing to do with this shot since it is a romantic song, but could be for the CocaCola or the eyeglasses!!! why not!!

STS-61-A (also known as D-1) was the 22nd mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program. It was a scientific Spacelab mission, funded and directed by West Germany – hence the non-NASA designation of D-1 (for Deutschland-1). STS-61-A was the ninth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger. STS-61-A holds the current record for the largest crew - eight people - aboard any single spacecraft for the entire period from launch to landing.
The mission carried the NASA/ESA Spacelab module into orbit with 76 scientific experiments on board, and was declared a success.[1] Payload operations were controlled from the German Space Operations Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, West Germany, instead of from the regular NASA control centers.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn's Class 52 was a German steam locomotive built in large numbers during the Second World War. It was the most produced type of the so-called Kriegslokomotiven or Kriegsloks (war locomotives). The Class 52 was a wartime development of the pre-war DRG Class 50, using fewer parts and less expensive materials to speed production. They were designed by Wagner who was Chief Engineer of the Central Design Office at the Locomotive Standards Bureau of the DRG. About a dozen classes of locomotive were referred to as Kriegslokomotiven, however the three main classes were the Class 52, 50 and 42.
Many locomotives passed into Russian ownership after the Second World War. In the U.S.S.R. the class were designated TE (TЭ). Other operators of the type included Poland (as class Ty2) and Romania, Bulgaria, Norway and Turkey. In Yugoslavia locomotives of the type were classified JŽ 33.
100 were built for Romanian State Railways, becoming their Class 150.1000
Over 150 were in use by the Bulgarian State Railways as Class 15.
10 were built for Turkish Republic Railways, forming the TCDD 56501 Class. Turkish Railways acquired 43 additional locos at the end of the war, these had previously been on hire.
Several have been preserved. One of these is preserved on the Nene Valley Railway in Peterborough, England. Another one is still in service with the Franconian Museum Railway in Bavaria, Germany.
The DR in East Germany had 200 machines reconstructed to the new DR Class 52.80.
74 locomotives were sent to Norway during WWII and were confiscated as war reparations following the war. The Norwegian classification was class 63, and was nicknamed "Stortysker" (Big German). One engine is extant at the Norwegian Railway Museum which has been restored by the Norwegian Railway Club.
The ČSD Czechoslovak state railways used hundreds of 52s post-war, partly left here by the Nazis after the liberation in May 1945, partly brought in as war reparation and/or (re)built by the Škoda Works in Plzeň. They bore designation of typová řada (type line) ČSD 555; several dozen were subsequently adapted, as the 555.3, to burn mazut, a large surplus of which was generated in Czechoslovak synthetic fuel plants by the Fischer-Tropsch method of producing petrol from brown coal, abundant here. The 555.3 differed visibly (besides the differences brought about by use of the semi-liquid fuel) also by having a lid on the smokestack to slow down cooling of the refractory lining in the flue passage, to prevent its cracking.
The MÁV Hungarian State Railways acquired 100 locomotives from the Soviet Union that were brought there as war trophies in 1963. They were retired from the MÁV and the GYSEV in the 1980s. They served under the classification 520.
The Kriegslokomotiven are featured in the third sequel of the successful computer game series Railroad Tycoon under the name "Kriegslok 2-10-0". A DRB 52 Kriegslokomotive was also used in the official music video for Extreme's "Stop the World" in model railway form. An actual Kriegslokomotive was also used for the video. An inconsistency can be seen where the model DRB 52 used for the opening (and briefly near the end) has boiler fins, while the real DRB 52 that is shown afterwards does not.
