this is AWN doing his thing with some quickly mocked up lightpainting equipment
AWN and i decided to do a photo session one stormy evening. it was mid week and the wind was high. we decided on an old abandoned naval base on the east side of portsmouth. some kids had made a hole in the fence so we used that as our entry point. walking along the sea defences we managed to get drenched with water and almost swept out to sea on a couple of occasions. once we were inside the base we were safe from the water but the addicts were waiting. we explored one from top to bottom, at about 12 midnight we had done the building and were so wet a could we decided to go home. however are egress was blocked by the risen tide and deadly waves. we were trapped and it was raining. for the next two hours we explored the rest of the base (no photos sorry) and the addicts stayed out of the rain leaving us to wander the wet and cracked concrete

HISTORIC AVATAR DECLARATION DAY - 20th October, 1940
The year 1940 was very significant. Satyanarayana Raju - Sathyam, Raju, Sathya, as he was affectionately called by his play mates, classmates, villagers, members of his family and even his teachers revealed his identity, his reality in three phases The first one was in 8th March 1940; the second one on May 23rd and the final Declaration on 20th October, the same year, which brought a total change in the entire town of Uravakonda. Sathya from that day onwards gave up his studies – declared that he was Sai Baba and that his devotees are calling him and that he would carry on his task and left the house and family.
On the twentieth day of October, 1940, Sathya started for school as usual at Uravakonda. The Excise Inspector of the place, Sri Anjaneyulu, who was very much attached to the young Baba, accompanied Him as far as the school gate and reluctantly went home. He seemed to see a superb halo around the face of Baba that day, and he could not take his eyes away from that enchantment. Within a few minutes Baba also turned back to the house. Standing on the outer doorstep, He cast aside the books He was carrying and called out, "I am no longer your Sathya. I am Sai." The sister-in-law came from the kitchen and peeped out; she was almost blinded by the splendour of the halo which she saw around Sai Baba's Head! She closed her eyes and shrieked. Baba addressed her, "I am going. I don't belong to you; Maya (illusion) has gone; My devotees are calling Me; I have My Work. I cannot stay any longer." So saying, He turned and left in spite of her pleadings. The brother hurried home on hearing of this, but Sai Baba only told him, "Give up all your efforts to 'cure' Me. I am Sai. I do not consider Myself related to you." Neighbour Sri Narayana Sastri heard the noise; he listened and realized that it was something serious. He ran in. Seeing the splendour of the halo, he fell at Sai Baba's Feet. He too heard the historic declaration: "Maya has left; I am going; My Work is waiting."
Seshama Raju was non-plussed. He could hardly collect his wits to meet the new situation. A boy, just fourteen, talking of devotees, work, illusion, and the philosophy of "belonging"! He could think of only one plan. Sathya was entrusted to him by his parents, and it was therefore his task to inform them and keep Sathya in the house until they came to Uravakonda for Him.
But Sathya would not step into the house again. He moved out into the garden of Sri Anjaneyulu's bungalow and sat on a rock in the midst of the trees. People came into the garden from all directions bringing flowers and fruits. The very first song which He taught the astonished mass of humanity was an invitation to surrender to the Feet of the Guru who had so mercifully appeared. It also contained a lesson that Baba has always emphasized since then that Bhajan or reverential adoration must be a mental upsurge, not an oral exercise. It ran thus:
Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam,
Dustara Bhava Sagara Taranam
Guru Maharaj Guru Jai Jai
Sai Natha Sad Guru Jai Jai
"Meditate in thy mind on the Feet of the Guru.
This can take you across the difficult sea of existence in birth after birth." (Sathyam Sivam Sundaram Part I)
I held the hand of Narayana Raju, the then Municipal Commissioner of Bellary and asked, “What is this?” He said, “It is my hand.” I took out the pen from his pocket and asked, “What is this?” “It is my pen”, he said. “You say, it is my hand, my pen, my body, my mind, my senses, etc. The word ‘my’ indicates that you are different from all this. Then who are you? I asked him. Then everyone started thinking, “Yes, what Raju says is correct. We say, this mine and that is mine, but we do not know who we are.” Everybody was silent. They accepted that they did not know their true identity. I told them that I had come down in human form only to make people realise their true identity.
It is the eye that sees and the mind that thinks. (Showing the ring and handkerchief. On what basis can you say that it is a handkerchief? You say, my mind is the basis for all this. What is mind? Whom does it belong to? You do not know. What you think you know, in reality, you do not know, that is your true Self. Make efforts to realise it.
From that day (20th October 1940) onwards, many seekers of Truth started visiting Me. They used to say,”Raju, What You are saying is correct. But how are we to realise our true identity?” People quote from scriptures and talk high philosophy but do not know their real meaning. “You say, this is my ring, my body, my handkerchief, so on and so forth. Then who are you?” I questioned them. They had no answer. Then I started explaining thus: “There are two important aspects that you have to consider, one is Drishyam (seen) and the other is Drastha (seer). Yad Drishyam Thannasyam (all that is seen is bound to perish). So, whatever you is only an illusion. You are Drashta that is your true identity.”
The English lecturer, H.S. Ramana was a noble person. His house was on the way to My school. He used to sit in the front verandah of his house. As soon as he saw Me, he used to call 'Raju!’, take Me into his house and offer Me coffee and snacks. But, I was not interested in these worldly things. Earlier I used to address him as 'Sir’. But, from that day onwards, the worldly relationship of teacher-student had ceased between us. I used to tell him that all that was seen by the eye is merely Drishyam, which was perishable and that one day one had to go beyond and search for the Drastha. From that day onwards wherever I went and whomever I met, I used to teach these higher principles.
The, one day Ramana called Seshama Raju and told him. ”Seshama Raju! Do not trouble yourself much in trying to understand the behaviour of Sathyam. This boy is delving deeper and deeper into the mysteries of life. It is not possible for anybody to fathom His true nature. Let us wait for some time and see”, saying thus, he took Me into his house and offered snacks, coffee, meals, etc., with great love. Poor man! He did not realise that I was never interested in those worldly maters. I did not touch any of those food stuffs. In My view, they were all worldly things which underwent constant change. They were never permanent. I explained to him, “you brought this Upma for Me. How real is this stuff? Only till one consumes it. What happens o it after eating? Nobody can see its shape thereafter. It just disappears. You are all considering these unreal worldly things as real.” Thus, I started teaching them higher Vedantic concepts. H.S.Ramana was astonished at MY knowledge of these higher principles. Till then, he was addressing Me as Raju! Raju!” But, from then on he started addressing Me as ‘Guruji’! Holding My feet, he pleaded with Me “Guruji! Please come to my house.” Those who were witnessing the scene were amazed that this elderly gentleman was holding the feet of this young boy, his student. Then Ramana declared in front of all those people, “Not only me; a day will come when the entire world will fall at His Feet.” The people gathered there on that occasion were all powerful, holding high positions in society. There was a neighbour by name Ramnarayana Sastri, who was an astrologer. He was called in and appraised of all those higher truths of life which I was explaining to them. Sri Sastri was amazed at My knowledge of Vedantic concepts at such a young age and shed tears of joy. One or two drops of tears fell at MY feet. From then onwards, everybody in Uravakonda started addressing Me as Sathya Sai Baba. I told them that I had come only for the purpose of revealing this truth. Unable to comprehend the full truth about My revelations, some of them questioned Me, “How can You declare Yourself to be Sai Baba?’ I just took some flowers in My hand and threw them on the floor. Lo and behold! The flowers arranged themselves as Sathya Sai Baba in Telugu letters. On witnessing this miracle, they were wonderstruck and dumbfounded! Then, everybody started chanting in chorus “Sathya Sai Baba Ki Jai”, “Sathya Sai Baba Ki jai”!
I emphatically told them that this was a name which they themselves had ascribed to Me and, in fact, I had no name at all! I declared thus on the occasion thus:
Know that I am Sai in reality,
Cast off your worldly relationships.
Give up your efforts to restrain Me,
The worldly attachments can no longer bind me,
None, however great he may be, can hold Me. (Telugu Poem)
I got up and started walking away. In the meanwhile, all those assembled there including Ramana and Sastri tried to follow Mw, but to strive for self- introspection and mental transformation. Since I am not the body, none can hold Me. Therefore, I advised them to follow My ideals. Only then can they realise My true nature.
In this vast expanse of the universe, right from the minutest atom to the mightiest, everything is permeated by the Atmic reality. It appears as minutest of the minute and mightiest of the mighty. In fact, the principles of microcosm and macrocosm is the fundamental reality which You have to enquire into. That is why Ramana Maharshi used to say, “Enquire, who you really are?’
You are not a single entity.
You are. In fact, three in one,
The one you think you are, (body)
The one others think you are (mind) and
The one you really are (Atma).
The Atma is known as conscience and the body which consists of the senses is called conscious. The Chaitanya (consciousness) which is present in all, transcends the senses. There is yet another principle that is beyond consciousness. It is called Super consciousness.
In the earlier days, not many people knew who Sai Baba was. He was considered a Muslim saint. When I first returned to Puttaparthi declaring Myself as Sai Baba, people thought that I had taken a Muslim name. But, no one can bind Me to a particular religion like Hinduism or Islam.
The Vaishnavites say that the Lord Vishnu is the greatest
While the Saivaites declare that Lord Siva is the greatest of all. Ganapatyas (the worshippers of Ganapati) declare that Ganapati is the greatest.
The educated say Goddess Sarada is the greatest.
Shaaktas (worshippers of Shakti) proclaim that Goddess Shakthi is the greatest.
My devotees say I am the greatest. Some others say all are one.
People may speak on the basis of their feelings but in truth,
There is only one GOD and that the rest are names. (Telugu Poem)
Different people may ascribe different names to the Atmic Reality and try to define it in different ways. But The underlying Atma Tattwa is one and the same. This truth has to be explained to the people in an understandable language. You can see that thee some houses beyond. In the front portion of the house, you will find a verandah; then a living room and then kitchen. Thereafter, you will find a bathroom and a toilet. Thus, there are different names for different utilities. How did they acquire these names? It is only because they are so divided by walls, for different purposes. But, the truth is they are all parts of the same house. Similarly, different people have different relationships with people like mother, brother, etc. From where did you acquire these relationships? Everything is your making. Remove these barriers. What remains is a vast expanse of oneness. One person refers to Divinity as Atma, another refers it as Brahman and the third one calls it as Vishnu. These are only names ascribed by human beings in the nameless, formless, attributeless Divinty. The Brahma Tattwa is one that has no names ascribed to it.
Where did this Brahma come from? The Atmic consciousness that permeates every living being is referred as Brahman. When it is individualised, it is called conscience. It is also referred to as Jiva. When the Atma Tattwa is encased in a body, it becomes an individual. The individual, the Atma and consciousness – ALL THE THREE ARE ONE AND THE SAME. People think they are different because they are given different names. Remove the names. There is only one Atma Tattwa in every individual. It has no form. It assumes different forms by joining different individuals. Supposing you name this object (showing handkerchief) as Atma. It is a handkerchief in common parlance. But, when you look at it from a spiritual angle, it is an object. I call it a thread. Again, after some time I refer to it as cotton; whether we call it as hand kerchief or thread or cotton, it refers to only one object. Only different names are given to the object. Take for instance the names of Rama and Krishna. Rama was not born with particular name. He was christened Rama only after His birth. Similarly, the name of Krishna. Since He was an embodiment of bliss, He was referred to as Krishna. Akarshana sakkti Iti Krishna( because He attracts, He is Krishna). But, His real nature is Ananda. He is Ananda Swarupa (embodiment of bliss) The same principle has taken different names. This one single principle Ananda is:
Brahmanandam, Parama Sukhadam, Kevalam Jnanamurtim,
Dwandwateetam, Gagana Sadrisham, Tattwamasyadi Lakshyam,
Ekam, Nityam, Vimalam, Achalam, Sarvadhee Sakshibhutam,
Bhavateetam Trigunarahitim
(God is the embodiment of Supreme bliss, He is wisdom absolute, the One without a second, beyond the pair of opposites, expansive and pervasive like the sky, the goal indicated by the Mahavakya Tattwamasi, the eternal, pure, unchanging, the witness of all functions of the intellect, beyond al mental conditions and the three Gunas of Sathwa, Rajas, and Thamas).
Divinity has no attributes. How can one give a name to it? Since it is not possible to assign any particular name to this principle, they named it as Atma. This Atma Tattwa is permeating every individual. It has no specific form. Explaining thus, I told those people that it is only for making them realise this principle that I have come. Then, Seshama Raju put a big question. He was a Telugu Pandit. Whatever question he put, had a certain value. He questioned, “Who are You?’ I answered. “Since you are calling Me as Sathya, I am Sathya. Since you are referring to Me as your brother, I am your brother, Since you call Me as a student, I am a student. By whatever name and form you refer to Me, I assume that name and form. In fact, no one is able to realise the truth, No one has any relationship whatsoever with Me. Call Me by any name, I will answer. If you call Me “Sai”, I will answer. If you call Me, “Baba”, I will respond. By whatever name you call Me, it is the same for Me. All these names are only names ascribed to Me. I have, in fact, come to make you realise thus truth” (DD 20th & 21st October 2003 p 7/12)
Bhagawan Baba Assures us: "Call Me whenever you need Me; I shall be with you". All belong to Me and I belong to all. My only wealth is love. Do not entertain any doubt or weakness. I am ready to give whatever you require. Be courageous. Why fear when I am here? "

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken by the end of the 3rd week of September, 2017.
The levels of activity have fluctuated along this stretch of the riverbank, and especially around the Irish Rail bridge, informed by the tides and priorities.
Since Summer 2016, this is where the heavy-duty engineering works have been taking place.
This is a section of the flood protection scheme that I have not covered in detail -- it's inconvenient for me to access, and others cover it much better.
Standing on the new riverside walkway alongside Seapoint Court, we could see construction activity sited along the Ravenswell Road, temporarily closed due to on-going works.
That was the site of the old Bray Golf Club -- hotly contested as a (potentially) poorly considered as a site for a shopping centre development complex, and still an area of ground that has to act as a flood plain in the event of tidal surges.
As well as raising a heightened flood protection wall, they've created an access ramp down to the riverside.
The area in the background, site of the old Bray Golf course, was both a works compound and vehicle route for the transportation of material to/from the other sectors along the River Dargle involved in construction works.
By now, most of the heavy works have been completed.
Along the Ravenswell Strip, the guys are now accessorising the wall, creating viewing platforms along this ('to be') pedestrianised walkway.
=========================================================
Between Bray Bridge and the Railway Bridge there was a wooden footbridge linking Ravenswell Road and the Seapoint Road, this bridge was built at the time of the railway coming to Bray.
It closed in 1870 and was removed shortly afterwards.
"The Little Book of Bray and Enniskerry" by Brian White.
==========================================================
The Irish Rail Bridge, Bray Harbour:
Phase 1 flood defence works to the Irish Rail bridge commenced in August 2016.
Phase 2 flood defence works will be completed during May to September 2017. This work is being undertaken directly by Irish Rail.
The work includes strengthening the integrity of the bridge by creating buttresses around the base of each pillar.
To do this they have to pile-drive sheets into the river bedrock.
The work is complicated by;
(a) the need not to damage or disturb in any way the actual bridge itself (Irish Rail train and DART carriages pass overhead on an hourly basis), (b) the confined spaces under the bridge, and (c) the twice-daily rising tides from Bray Harbour which spill upriver into the newly expanded basin.
The length of the Ravenswell Road is to be landscaped into a pedestrian 'experience', with plants, seating and viewing points created in the sea-wall. I think this might link up with a new road and pathway being constructed around to Little Bray.
Through the past few weeks/months, we can see the construction in and around the Irish Rail bridge, where new and extensive reinforced concrete collars are built up to support the existing support pillars/piers. The river and sea beds are also engineered to control the flow of tides and river flows.

The P1 Hand Phaser prop is "fired" by rolling the thumbwheel on top, forward. First the hooded "sight" rises, and then with the wheel at its extreme forward position, the light bulb in the emitter tip is lit. (this means that the actors always "fired" their phasers on the maximum setting!)
The actors also had to simultaneously seem to be pushing the stud on the bottom of the weapon, since that was supposed to be the actual trigger! (the button on the bottom wasn't connected to anything and actually did nothing).
Later in the series the actors were given non-functional dummy props. Eventually they got into the habit of holding their phasers to make it appear as though they were pushing something on top to fire the phaser. This is why fan drawings, including the semi-official Franz Joseph Starfleet Technial Manual, show the "rising sight" on top labeled as the trigger!
