This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2022 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 25th June 2022. The photograph was taken at around the 200m to go mark.
This long established road race is widely regarded 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. Over the last 10 to 15 years Kilcock has undergone very extensive and development particularly in housing. While these changes have taken place the race route has almost remained untouched by this. There were around 500 finishers of the race. The race was organised last year (2021) within the permitted public health guidelines of the COVID-19 pandemic response. This seen a maximum entry of 200 runners. It is a great relief to all involved that this road race has returned to the normality of the past.
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 warm 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.

試圖成為水面，不再和波面抵抗，
順著那流，無限地延伸四肢，
向前方匍匐是垂直的點，
怔怔地看著一旁飛馳的是線，
不做為主體的一切，願為自己盡興，
在此時此刻。

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.
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.

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.
