When they say that parallel lines never
meet, what do they mean?
When they say that only one straight line can pass
between two points, what is the meaning?
When do the lines in our lives connect to the picture?
But if we truly want – we will understand
that parallel lines can meet.
It's all a matter of our will and the ability
to see these lines
from a different place.
And yes –
it's also possible to draw more than one straight line
between two points.
Lignes Parallèles
Quand on dit que les lignes parallèles ne se rencontrent jamais, que veulent-ils dire ?
Quand on dit qu'il n'y a qu'une seule ligne droite qui peut passer
entre deux points, quelle est la signification ?
Quand est-ce que les lignes dans nos vies se connectent à l'image ?
Mais si nous le voulons vraiment – nous comprendrons que
les lignes parallèles peuvent se rencontrer.
C'est juste une question de volonté et de capacité à voir ces lignes
d'un endroit différent.
Et oui –
il est aussi possible de tracer plus d'une ligne
droite entre deux points.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the third week of October, 2016.
Between the M11 motorway, and the Upper Dargle Road / Hazelwood areas, a stream has run for many years. As well as running from the Fassroe region (west above the M11) this also funnels much of the water run-off from the motorway itself.
There is a culvert running under the road and draining directly into the river opposite The Slang/Rehills. A branch also runs parallel and through the Egan Business Park before exiting under the road and into the Dargle close to what is identified in historic Ordnance Survey maps as 'Rose Cottage - Laundry'.
There are plans to lay a proper pipe system to channel this water directly across to the Dargle. No doubt a welcome relief to householders along this stretch of road, given that their properties have been victim to the flash flooding that is happening more often due to changes in the meteorlogical systems, compounded by developments on the opposite side of the motorway.
The downside of this work is the removal of many trees here, and the consequent unwelcome exposure to said properties.

Major upgrades have been made to Abbotsford Airport as a result of a collaboration between the Canadian and British Columbia governments and Abbotsford International Airport.
Included in the improvements are an improved departure lounge, security area, guest check-in counters, new washrooms, a new tourist information centre, and new flooring and finishes.
A new taxi way stretching 9,600-ft parallel the primary runway, an expansion of the west apron and various electrical lighting and surface rehabilitation projects will all help double the airport's passenger capacity and allow YXX to start attracting major aerospace companies and additional commercial air service.
The Los Angeles bunker from which Hitler planned to run the Nazi empire after the war. It sounds like the bizarre script of a Hollywood B-movie.
In a parallel universe the Nazis have won the war, Adolf Hitler moves to LA where he mingles with the stars of the silver screen while running his evil empire from a luxurious ranch deep in the LA hills.
But during the 1930s, American sympathisers were so confident this exact scenario was actually going happen they spent millions building a deluxe compound ready for their fuhrer's imminent arrival.
Equipped with a diesel power plant, 375,000 gallon concrete water tank , giant meat locker, 22 bedrooms and even a bomb shelter, the heavily guarded estate was home to a community of Hollywood fascists who hoped to ride out the war there.
There were further plans to build five libraries, a swimming pool, several dining rooms and a gymnasium with money from Germany.
But on the day after Pearl Harbour, as America entered World War Two, police raided the premises and rounded up the the 50 or so American fascists who were living there.
Today the eerie landmark lies in ruins, daubed with graffitti, and awaiting the bulldozers so it can be turned into a picnic area for hikers - a soon-to-be forgotten slice of American history.
Close to the homes of actors and directors such as Stephen Spielberg, the site has been a magnet for historians, curiosity-seekers and modern-day nazis.
At one point after the war it became an artists colony and was home to the novelist Henry Miller.
It was built by the Silver Shirts, a sinister group of 1930s fascists who took their name from Hitler's Brown Shirts grass roots organisation.
Fascism had been on the rise in the wake of the Great Depression and the Silver Shirts were one of the most fanatical organisations.
The 55-acre ranch, was sold to mining fortune heiress Jessie Murphy in 1933 by screen cowboy Will Rogers.
In the next few years, Murphy struck up a relationship with a German man known only as Herr Schmidt. Unbeknown to her Schmidt was Hitler's agent in America.
He persuaded her to invest $4million ($66 million today) to transform the property into a nazi stronghold fit for Hitler.
Historian Randy Young told the Sunday Express: 'This was supposed to be the seat of American fascism from where Hitler would one day run the United States.
'The neighbours were a little freaked out by the construction and weird happenings, but until war broke out, they thought they were ju
Now I had a few possible shots for this weeks theme but thought i'd take a wander around the town centre today just in case I could come up with anything else, and whilst passing the Jubilee Library noticed that the huge glass panes that make up the building seemed to provide some pretty clear reflections. So I held my camera tight to the glass and directed it down the street where people were passing by and this one of the couple and their young child seemed to be the best of my efforts. I think because of the bright light today that the colours in the shot aren't the greatest but I was happy with the effect and so am gonna submit it anyways!...
Just west of Phillipsburg, the Wallaceton Line (now on the ex-PRR Tyrone & Clearfield at this point) parallels US 322. It's here that RJ Corman stops to split loaded trains from Leslie in half as the grade west of here is too steep to make without stalling.

The Nemours Estate is a 300-acre country estate with jardin à la française formal gardens and a French neoclassical mansion in Wilmington, Delaware. Built to resemble a French château, its 105 rooms on five floors occupy nearly 47,000 sq ft. It shares the grounds at 1600 Rockland Road with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, and both are owned by the Nemours Foundation.
Nemours was created by Alfred I. du Pont in 1909–10 as a gift for his second wife, Alicia. It was named for the north-central French town of Nemours, which was affiliated with his great-great-grandfather, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours. Carrère and Hastings designed the mansion, which is in the Louis XVI style of French architecture.
The house contains rare 18th-century French furniture and an eclectic collection of notable antiques, works of art and tapestries. Artworks range from 16th-century religious works to paintings by the European masters to early works by Americans Frederic Remington and Sidney Lawrence.
Of particular interest is a rare Louis XVI musical clock, circa 1785, by David Roentgen and Peter Kinzing, which plays four tunes on a dulcimer and pipe organ. Another clock at the mansion with a connection to French royalty is one made for Marie Antoinette, which she never received.
The mansion also has a chair from the 1937 coronation of King George VI, an event which was attended by Alfred I. du Pont's third wife Jessie, and a chair from Independence Hall. Alfred I. du Pont's own portrait is also in the mansion.
The estate has the most developed and largest jardin à la française (French formal garden)-style landscape park and collection of individual gardens in North America. The design is patterned after the gardens of Versailles surrounding the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles. Their central axis extends ⅓ of a mile from the mansion facade, paralleling the main avenue leading to the house. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with plantings, fountains, pools, a carillon tower, statuary, and a pavilion surrounded by naturalized woodlands.
The named features include:
The Boxwood Garden – French parterre garden with boxwood edging and a central faun fountain.
The Colonnade (1926) – memorial to Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours and his son Eleuthère Irénée du Pont, designed by Thomas Hastings.
The Maze Garden – a maze garden with main hedges of Western Arborvitae 'Spring Grove', inner hedges of Japanese Barberry 'Crimson Pygmy', and central statue of Achievement, by Henri Crenier, atop a base with images of Triton and Neptune's face.
The Reflecting Pool (1 acre) – 40 feet in diameter, with 157 jets, backed by Japanese cryptomeria, pink flowering horse chestnut, and pin oaks.
The Sunken Gardens – designed by Alfred Victor du Pont and Gabriel Masséna. Features large lake, grottoes, and 1930 statue by Charles-Marie Sarrabezolles (1888–1971). A. V. du Pont (1900–1970) was the only son of the owner and an architect trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
The Temple of Love – in classical style, with life-sized statue of Diana (1780) by Jean-Antoine Houdon.
The Nemours mansion and gardens reopened its gates on May 1, 2008, after closing in 2005 for a 3-year, $39 million renovation. The work, commissioned by the Nemours Foundation, was performed by world-class conservators, artisans and craftspeople who refurbished furniture, fabrics, tapestries, interior finishes, paintings, and sculptures. The comprehensive reconstruction included replacing the entire electrical system, draining and repairing the 800,000-gallon reflecting pool, and landscape restoration of the extensive formal gardens plantings, constructed design elements, and statuary.
August 16 -- at a small service area close to the tunnel of Arlberg, Austria, about 300 km from home.
I'd been driving till 04:00 AM. We slept a few hours, had a small breakfast, and let it happen that a Romanian long-haul truck driver, a friendly guy about 60 who had parked his truck next to us, stroke up a conversation.
"I'm orthodox," he told us, "but I think the real paradise is here" -- he pointed at the surrounding mountains and the place we stood -- "and not in heaven."
I was still pretty tired and had not been very concentrated on the conversation -- until I heard these words. Suddenly I was wide awake and looked attentively at the speaker. Our eyes met, we smiled at each other, and involuntary I streched my hand out and touched his arm: "So do I."
"Let me show you the most beautiful places in Romania," he said, "in case you return sometime. You will return -- will you?"
I felt confused, but said: "Yes, I'm going to return, someday."
We spread the map of Romania on the ground.
"Here," he said, and touched my hand, and pointed out to the map, "and here... and here... and there, too... all over there, you'll find the most beautiful graveyards you've ever seen."
I nodded in silence, and drew little circles around the places he pointed out. It felt like a promise.
And I knew that neither my companion nor I had mentioned with one single word that I had fallen in love with the Romanian graveyards.
"Isn't it weird," I asked my companion later, "that someone (a stranger you just became acquainted with) doesn't want you to see the showplaces, but the most beautiful graveyards of his country? And isn't it weird, too, that we touched each other like Greek or Romanian women do when they are lost in a very intimate and important conversation? I do not understand what happened... but please, don't lose his phone number, I'll surely need it somewhere along the way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We live our lives of human passions,
cruelties, dreams, concepts,
crimes and the exercise of virtue
in and beside a world devoid
of our preoccupations, free
from apprehension -- though affected,
certainly, by our actions. A world
parallel to our own though overlapping.
We call it "Nature"; only reluctantly
admitting ourselves to be "Nature" too.
Whenever we lose track of our own obsessions,
our self-concerns, because we drift for a minute,
an hour even, of pure (almost pure)
response to that insouciant life:
cloud, bird, fox, the flow of light, the dancing
pilgrimage of water, vast stillness
of spellbound ephemerae on a lit windowpane,
animal voices, mineral hum, wind
conversing with rain, ocean with rock, stuttering
of fire to coal -- then something tethered
in us, hobbled like a donkey on its patch
of gnawed grass and thistles, breaks free.
No one discovers
just where we've been, when we're caught up again
into our own sphere (where we must
return, indeed, to evolve our destinies)
-- but we have changed, a little.

The airport has two parallel runways (60 m. wide, 4,000 m. and 3,700 m. long) and two parallel taxiways to accommodate simultaneous departures and arrivals. It has a total of 120 parking bays (51 with contact gates and 69 remote gates) and 5 of these are capable of accommodating the Airbus A380 aircraft. With a capacity of handling 76 flight operations per hour, both international and domestic flights will share the airport terminal but will be assigned to different parts of the concourse. In the initial phase of construction, it will be capable of handling 45 million passengers and 3 million tonnes of cargo per year. Between the airport hotel and the terminal building are the two 5-storey car park buildings with a combined capacity of 5,000 cars

Das Kunsthaus Zürich präsentiert einzigartige Ausstellung, die die künstlerischen und biografischen Parallelen zwischen dem chinesisch-kanadischen Maler Matthew Wong und Vincent van Gogh beleuchtet. Im Fokus stehen 40 imaginäre Landschaften und Interieurs von Matthew Wong, die erstmals in der Schweiz zu sehen sind, ergänzt durch ausgewählte Meisterwerke von Vincent van Gogh.
Matthew Wong malte dynamisch und farbintensiv, wobei sein Schwerpunkt auf Landschaften von expressiv-lyrischer Kraft lag. Als Autodidakt kam er erst mit 27 Jahren zur Kunst, schuf jedoch in nur acht Jahren ein beeindruckendes Œuvre. Wongs Werke sind stark von der euro-amerikanischen und chinesischen Kunst beeinflusst. Er bezog Anregungen von Künstlern wie Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Shitao, Gustav Klimt, Yayoi Kusama und Alex Katz. Trotz vieler stilistischer Anspielungen bleiben seine imaginären Landschaften und Interieurs ausserordentlich persönlich und originell.
Van Gogh ist in Wongs ausdrucksstarkem Farbgebrauch und Malstil als Vorbild besonders präsent. Beide Künstler brachten ihre emotionalen Zustände direkt und ungefiltert in ihren Werken zum Ausdruck. Ihre Lebensgeschichten weisen auffällige Parallelen auf: Beide litten unter psychischen Herausforderungen und nahmen sich letztlich das Leben. Wong, der an Depression, Tourette-Syndrom und Autismus litt, starb 2019 mit 35 Jahren. Van Gogh, der unter psychotischen Anfällen und Halluzinationen litt, beging 1890 im Alter von 37 Jahren Suizid.
Nur noch bis zum 26. Januar 2025!
There was a steepness in the darkness
I wanted to cut it like a comet crash
Hit the city, where you had echoed from a flash
Made it all seem not so bad
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
Don't dare repeat this
But when I lay alone that night
I let the city see me cry
And in my weakness
I wish you hadn't closed your eyes
Crossed the city, open mine
'Cause we were parallel lines, running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
I watched you comb your hands through the light
Every detail spilled from your outline
All at once you filled my eyes
And I could see it all for the first time
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
(The whole sky)
And even in the low light, we were aligned
(We were aligned)
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
(Whole time)
And even in the divide, you and I

Favoriten street is a major business and shopping street in the 4th district of Vienna, Wieden, and in the 10th district, Favoriten.
History
A path from the historical Vienna to the south
The Favoriten street was, and is, beside the Wieden Main Road, the most important road to the south of the 4th district. While the way since the Middle Ages via the Wieden Main Road and the Trieste street leads to Wiener Neustadt and further to Italy, one got over the Favoriten street in the southeast direction to Hungary. Its original name was Wimpassing was (after the old Hungarian border town of Wimpassing at the river Leitha on the way to Sopron), after the erection of the imperial pleasure castle Favorita in today's 4th district it was called Emperor way.
At the beginning of the street facing the city center, followed already in the 17th century a dense development, then the road as a track lead further to the gate Favorithen-Thor, where once again stood a smaller group of houses and a chapel. On the Wien plan of Vasquez from the year 1830 appeared the name Favoriten Linien street (line = gate in the Linienwall, a fiscal frontier). In the 19th century the character of the street changed due to numerous buildings of Gründerzeit. It was opposite of the former pleasure castle Favorita, where the Theresian Academy, an elite school, was housed, a noble residential area around 1900. In 1903, the Himberg street from Wieden Belt and from the later South Tyrolean square (which interrupts the numbering of the Favoriten street) was included in the Favoriten street as far as to the city boundary at the Danube landing railway. South of the railway remained the old name until today.
On the west side of the road, at the crossroads with the Gudrun street, a little bit moved away from the road, stands in the 10th district near Kepler square, interrupting the house numbering, the church Keplerkirche, long the only church of favoriten. A block of houses farther south, arose already after 1870 a market square (also on the western side of the street), named Viktor-Adler square since 1919; it also interrupts the house numbering of Favoriten street. The Viktor-Adler market is located on the square to this day.
The Reumann square interrupts the Favoriten street at the southern end of today's pedestrian zone. There the Amalienbad, an urban indoor swimming pool, was opened in 1926. Opposite, since 1955, the Ice Saloon Tichy, known beyond the district, is located.
The Per-Albin-Hansson settlement with the building elements West, North (both west of the road) and East was erected in 1947-1977 on the southern slope of the Laaer mountain on former agricultural land. It covers more than 6000 communal social dwellings. In 1959, the Laaerbergbad, a large urban summer bath, was opened directly south of the hilltop.
In 1970, arose instead of the crossing of the Favoriten street with Grenzacker street and Ludwig-von-Höhnel alley on a tip of the Laaer mountain, the roundabout Favoriten with accesses to the city motorway called Südoststangente, Austria's most heavily frequented road, and to Laaerbergbad. Since 1981, this traffic area has been officially called Old Estate.
From 1974 onwards, a large pedestrian zone was established between Columbus square and Reumann square in the 10th district, making this section the lively center of the district. Later the section from the Belt to Columbus square was also included and the here remaining tram line O was moved to the parallel Laxenburg Street.
Directly at the intersection of the Favoriten street with the Belt at South Tyrol square is the 2015 finished Vienna Main Railway Station.
Die Favoritenstraße ist eine bedeutende Geschäfts- und Ausfallstraße im 4. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, Wieden, und im 10. Bezirk, Favoriten.
Geschichte
Ein Weg vom historischen Wien nach Süden
Die Favoritenstraße war und ist neben der Wiedner Hauptstraße die wichtigste Ausfallstraße des 4. Bezirks nach Süden. Während der Weg seit dem Mittelalter über die Wiedner Hauptstraße und die Triester Straße nach Wiener Neustadt und in weiterer Folge nach Italien führt, gelangte man über die Favoritenstraße in südöstlicher Richtung nach Ungarn. Ihr ursprünglicher Name war Wimpassinger Weg (nach dem altungarischen Grenzort Wimpassing an der Leitha auf dem Weg nach Ödenburg), nach der Errichtung des kaiserlichen Lustschlosses Favorita im heutigen 4. Bezirk wurde sie Kaiserweg genannt.
Am stadtzentrumsseitigen Beginn der Straße erfolgte bereits im 17. Jahrhundert dichtere Verbauung, anschließend führte die Straße als Feldweg weiter zum Favorithen-Thor, bei dem wieder eine kleinere Häusergruppe mit Kapelle bestand. Auf dem Wien-Plan von Vasquez aus dem Jahr 1830 erscheint der Name Favoriten Linien Straße (Linie = Tor im Linienwall, eine Steuergrenze). Im 19. Jahrhundert veränderte sich der Charakter der Straße durch zahlreiche gründerzeitliche Bauten. Sie war gegenüber dem einstigen Lustschloss Favorita, in dem nunmehr die Theresianische Akademie, eine Eliteschule, untergebracht war, um 1900 eine vornehme Wohngegend. 1903 wurde die Himberger Straße vom Wiedner Gürtel und vom späteren Südtiroler Platz (der die Häusernummerierung der Favoritenstraße unterbricht) bis zur damaligen Stadtgrenze an der Donauländebahn in die Favoritenstraße einbezogen. Südlich der Bahn verblieb bis heute der alte Name.
Von der Straße etwas abgerückt steht im 10. Bezirk beim Keplerplatz, der die Häusernummerierung der Favoritenstraße ebenfalls unterbricht, am westlichen Straßenrand an der Kreuzung mit der Gudrunstraße die Keplerkirche, lang die einzige Kirche Favoritens. Einen Häuserblock weiter südlich entstand schon nach 1870 (ebenfalls am westlichen Straßenrand) ein Marktplatz, seit 1919 Viktor-Adler-Platz benannt; auch er unterbricht die Hausnummerierung der Favoritenstraße. Auf dem Platz befindet sich bis heute der Viktor-Adler-Markt.
Der Reumannplatz unterbricht die Favoritenstraße am südlichen Ende der heutigen Fußgängerzone. Dort wurde 1926 das Amalienbad, ein städtisches Hallenbad, eröffnet. Gegenüber befindet sich seit 1955 der über den Bezirk hinaus bekannte Eissalon Tichy.
Auf früher landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen wurde 1947–1977 auf dem Südabhang des Laaer Berges die Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung mit den Bauteilen West, Nord (beide westlich der Straße) und Ost errichtet. Sie umfasst mehr als 6000 kommunale Sozialwohnungen. 1959 wurde unmittelbar südlich der Bergkuppe das Laaerbergbad, ein großes städtisches Sommerbad, eröffnet.
1970 entstand statt der Kreuzung der Favoritenstraße mit Grenzackerstraße und Ludwig-von-Höhnel-Gasse auf einer Kuppe des Laaer Berges der Verteilerkreis Favoriten mit Zufahrten zur Südosttangente genannten Stadtautobahn, der stärkstfrequentierten Straße Österreichs, und zum Laaerbergbad. Seit 1981 heißt diese Verkehrsfläche amtlich Altes Landgut.
Ab 1974 entstand zwischen Columbusplatz und Reumannplatz im 10. Bezirk eine große Fußgängerzone, die diesen Abschnitt zum lebhaften Zentrum des Bezirks machte. Später wurde auch der Abschnitt vom Gürtel zum Columbusplatz einbezogen und die hier verbliebene Straßenbahnlinie O in die parallele Laxenburger Straße verlegt.
Unmittelbar bei der Kreuzung der Favoritenstraße mit dem Gürtel beim Südtiroler Platz befindet sich der 2015 fertiggestellte Wiener Hauptbahnhof.
Not my finest shot, but an unexpected capture of LNER Azuma units running side-by-side on 4th September 2020. Repairs to damaged overhead line equipment near Biggleswade resulted in Class 801/1s Nos.801110 and 801104 (left) taking the Up Slow on the 1A07 06:30 Bradford Forster Square to London Kings Cross. Upon passing Holme Green crossing, the formation was overtaken by Class 800/1 No.800105 on the 1Y08 05:40 Sunderland to London Kings Cross, running on diesel power.

This model features the Slimline variation of the design.
The 650SS was a Norton motorcycle made by between 1962 and 1967 at Norton’s Bracebridge Street works in Birmingham. Developed from the Norton Dominator, the Featherbed frame was altered so that the top rails were closer together to create what became known as the 'slimline featherbed'. A 650cc twin carburettor engine was installed which was capable of 110–115 mph (180–185 km/h).
The 'SS' stood for Super Sports and the 600cc models were discontinued to concentrate on production of the 650SS, which quickly earned a reputation as the best of the Dommies.
Fitted as standard with twin Amal Monobloc carburettors with the intakes angled downwards. Twin exhausts replaced the 99SS two-into-one and the headlight nacelle was replaced with a modernised speedometer and tachometer. The 650SS was finished in a black frame with silver fuel tank and optional chrome fenders.
In February 1962 Motor Cycling magazine achieved a best one-way speed of 119.5mph at MIRA with a 650SS, more than 10mph faster than the rival Triumph Bonneville tested the previous summer.

This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2017 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 30th June 2017. This superb road race is now firmly established again as one of the fastest and best organised road races of its kind in Leinster. The race follows a left handed course around a well known local walking route around Laragh and in the closing kilometer runs parallel to the Royal Canal into the finish at the railway station in the town having started at the primary school close to the St. Coca's running track. In fact for several hundred meters after the 4KM marker towards the finish the course runs parallel with the railway, canal and the R148 between Kilcock and Maynooth. This geographic feature is one of only a small number towns with this parallel configuration in all of Europe.
The members of St. Coca's AC and the many volunteers from the local community must be given great praise for organising another fantastic night of racing for runners, joggers, and walkers. The 5KM course is very flat with the exception of short incline up a motorway overpass and makes its way along narrow country lanes sheltered on either side by hedgerows. These roads offer a great contrast from the urban population of Kilcock which has grown as a satellite town of the greater Dublin area. The nice summer evening made for an enjoyable night for everyone with a large crowd gathering at the finish to cheer on participants. Refreshments and prize awards were held in the Gaelscoil near to both the race start and close to the St. Coca's running track. Running clubs and groups from all over Leinster and beyond were represented in the race tonight.

If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.
I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Ever since our trip to Peru, and the challenging Shamanic ceremonies that almost ended me, I feel like Vanessa and I have been living in a parallel universe, one that is more surreal and we continuously evolve in an unending ceremony.
In October 2005 there was a ‘Plandampf’ event in Rhineland-Pfalz region of Germany. This entails certain local services being turned over to steam traction.
Twice a day, the small junction station of Winden would see parallel departures, one heading north to Neustadt and the other up the branch line to Bad Bergzabern.
Despite the gloomy skies, it was still quite a sight.
