According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.~ Anais Nin
It's a pretty miserable Monday morning - weather wise; unrelenting, cold rain. I couldn't be in a better mood this morning though - which is a feat in of itself given the aforementioned conditions, I didn't sleep all that well and I'm scheduled to see a neurologist for a surgery consult later this afternoon (I have a pretty severely herniated disc in my lumber spine).
But I feel inspired... and eager! So on this Monday - here are just a few of small pieces of my mosaic; the things that make up my truths, my happiness:
- Imported (German) gummi bears... seriously, I love them and I'm not sure I'd be the same if they ceased to exist.
- Family; they're pretty dandy too!
- Friends who love and support me, my dreams, my ambition... even if I do stumble over and doubt myself.
- Music: I'm not a musical artist (the closest I ever come to that was a failed attempt to play trombone my third-grade year - it was what was available to use for free when I was a foster child), but I am a LOVER of music... with a VERY eclectic taste in that regard.
- My lilac linen spray.
- And it should go without saying, but photography... I'm so happy to share with all of you.
Happy Bench Monday, my friends!

She helped me pick my best photo's in a few categories.
It was hard work since I got a few thousants photo's worth saving, hundreds of good shots and i wanted to end up with about 50 best of the best.
( I still have about 150 shots)
We made a first selection on Flickr (which you can find in this set)and on my hard disk.
You could help me out with pointing your winner to me in the comments.
But after all, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Somnathpur, Near Bangalore,Karnataka
December 2002.
Shot on Film format Canon EOS Elan 100.
Somnathpur, is a tiny village on the banks of the Kaveri, 140 kms, south-west of Bangalore.
"There is a stillness and everlastingness about the past, it changes not and has a touch of eternity" wrote Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in his 'Discovery of India'.
This place boasts of one of the last and the grandest of Hoysala monuments - the Kesava Temple built 740 years ago.By the year 1268 A.D., the year in which the Kesava temple at Somnathpur was built. The riches and splendour of the Hoysala court were already evident in their grand temples at Belur and Dvarasamudra (present day, Halebid).
Histroy :The reigning monarch was Narasimha III (1254-91 A.D.) whose full regal title runs into a sizeable paragraph: "Sri Vishnuvaradhana, Pratapa Chakravarti, Hoysala Bhujabala, Sri Vira Narasimha, Maharajadhiraja, Raja Paramesvara, Sanivarasiddhi, Giridurgamalla etc.
The temple, however, was built by his celebrated army commander, Somnath. Some year ago he had founded a village on the left bank of the Kaveri River, which he named Somnathpur, after himself.

Located in southwestern Ohio, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is a 265-acre park and outdoor museum combining the nature with art.
ohiomag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=586CA122EB394032BD4AA3B686...
Hamilton attorney Harry Wilks started to build his dream house in the country, and ended up creating a nationally acclaimed sculpture park. At 80, Harry Wilks lives alone in an underground house atop a hill surrounded by woods, meadows and huge sculptures. When he drinks his morning coffee under his glass pyramid roof, he can enjoy his collection of antiquities: . . . When he climbs his two-story tower, he looks out on his 265-acres "yard" and surveys a landscape unlike any other. On a hill to the west stands "Abracadabra," a giant crimson swirl of steel set in a field of green. . . . At every turn, sculpture — in steel, bronze, stone, and wood — creates a thrilling medley of nature and art.
This is Pyramid Hill, the retired Hamilton attorney's home . . . It's also the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum, one of only five in the nation. …It all started, Wilks says, with a chain saw. "I wanted to move out of town when I retired, so I bought 40 acres out here. Then I bought a chain saw and a machete and started to clear the brush. Then I needed to hire a bulldozer to put in the roads and lakes and the bulldozer driver was a golfer, so he suggested a golf course. I built eight and a half holes of golf and I stopped." As adjacent land became available, Wilks bought as much as he could, until he had 265 acres of hilly woodland on the Great Miami River, a mile southwest of Hamilton in Butler County. "I think it was one day when we were cutting down trees that I saw a dogwood in bloom, and it was so beautiful and I thought, 'By God, I have to save this.' I began to love nature. After I built my house out here I put in the eight lakes and I already had the tennis court and the hiking trails. My friends would come to visit, and they started to offer me money for some of my land. They were offering $100,000 and $125,000 an acre. These were wealthy men. I had eight offers in four months and they totaled almost a million dollars. And I thought, 'What the heck's going to happen to all this when I die?' My two daughters have places of their own. They would have to sell it. And I thought of all the work I had put into this, building roads, acquiring more land. I had done it all myself, with no master plan, no engineers, no architects. So I stopped, in the middle of the ninth hole. I thought, 'How can I prevent this land from being sold?'"
"I see myself as the caretaker of the land while I am here," he says, "and I want this to be here for hundreds of years."
سيدة الموانىء البحرية المهندسة لميس القاعاتي : طموحي أكون سفيرة سلام لبلدي سوريا
حاورها: محمد كريزم - دبي - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "
wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=11402
سورية الأصل والإنتماء، إماراتية الولاء والعشق، راكمت من الأعمال والإبداعات ما جعلها ترتقي لأعلى الدرجات العلمية وتتبوأ أهم المسميات الوظيفية حتى أصبحت مشعلاً وضاءاُ تنير الدروب التي تسلكها، عقلها مع عملها الذي تتميز وتبدع به عن الأخرين، وقلبها مع بلدها " سوريا "، تتنقل عبر الموانىء البحرية العربية والعالمية، وتحرص على حضور المؤتمرات العالمية، وتساهم في الحراك الإجتماعي نحو الأفضل، تناصر المرأة العربية وتساند قضاياها في كافة المحافل الدولية، لديها من قوة الشخصية والتأثير ما يؤهلها لتكون سفيرة السلام والمرأة.
هي سيدة الأعمال ، المهندسة السورية لميس القاعاتي، عضو مجلس سيدأت أعمال الإمارات، ومؤسسة منظمة مجتمع سيدات سوريا " سيريان لايديز " وتدير أعمالها من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة التي شهدت ميلادها، والتي أسست على أرضها كيان إقتصادي خاص بها.
" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورت سيدة الأعمال لميس القاعاتي، وفيما يلي نصه:
* بطاقة تعريفية لسيدة الأعمال المهندسة لميس القاعاتي؟
- من مواليد أبوظبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة ، سورية الأصل. استكملت دراستي الثانوية في الإمارات ثم انتقلت لمونتريال كندا في عمر 17 سنة لاستكمال الدراسة الجامعية و حزت على شهادة البكالوريوس في هندسة الكهرباء من جامعة ماجيل McGill الكندية و التي تعتبرمن الجامعات الرائدة عالميا. قضيت عشر سنوات في كندا بين العلم و العمل و حصلت على الجواز الكندي و عشت في بريطانيا 3 سنوات مع العائلة.
عملت مع شركة كندية في مجال الهندسة الإلكترونية ثم مع شركة فنلندية متخصصة في مجال خدمة الموانىء البحرية. و بعد ذلك أسست كيان اقتصادي على أرض الإمارات و أعمل حاليا كمديرة المبيعات الإقليمية و شريكة في شركة فيركات للمعدات الثقيلة و مناولة الحاويات والرافعات الشوكية المستخدمة في الموانىء البحرية و المصانع.
زرت معظم الموانىء البحرية في الشرق الأوسط لاسيما مصر وكنت أول سيدة عربية تزور ميناء صلالة البحري في عمان. شاركت في كثير من المعارض في مجال الموانىء في الصين و البلقان و أفريقيا و أوروبا وأمريكا. عضوة في مجلس سيدات أعمال الإمارات و شاركت في أول وفد تجاري الى جمهورية الجبل الأسود بحضور صاحب السمو الشيخ عبدلله بن زايد وزيرخارجية الإمارات و في جولات إقتصادية أخرى منظمة من مجالس سيدات أعمال الإمارات و العرب و غرف التجارة و الصناعة.
على الصعيد الإجتماعي كنت وراء فكرة تأسيس منظمة مجتمع سيدات سوريا " السيريان لايديز" الذي يختص بتبادل الخبرات و الموارد بين العضوات و يساهم في تدعيم المرأة و تمكينها في مشاريعها الريادية و جمع السيدات السوريات تحت مظلة دعم المرأة على اختلاف أطيافهم و تواجهاتهم السياسية و تبادل علاقات ودية و خبرات تساهم في بناء فكر المرأة . لها رسالة للمجتمع ودعوة موجهة للمؤسسات تحت عنوان لا للعنف من المرأة للمرأة و نعم لدعم المرأة.
على الناحية السياسية أؤمن أن المصالحة الوطنية و السلام هي الطريقة الوحيدة للأمام في سوريا.
وأنا متزوجة و أم لولدين وأتحمل مسؤؤليتهم في التربية و إدارة المنزل.
أؤمن بضرورة استقلال المرأة ماديا لتستطيع اثبات ذاتها و ذلك لا يأتي إلا بالجهد و العمل.
* هل لديك رؤية لصيغة حل لإنهاء الصراع في سوريا؟ وما هي أبرز نقاطه أو محاوره؟
- أرى أن الحل في سوريا هو السلام لأن سوريا فوق الجميع. أبرز نقاطه/ محاوره :
في الداخل السوري: المصالحة الوطنية بين الحكومة ورموز المعارضة ورموز الشعب و الشعب. الوحدة الوطنية و الجلوس على طاولة الحوار الهادف لرسم خطة تعمل على إعادة إصلاح العلاقات السورية السورية لوضع و صياغة و تطبيق خطة محكمة لقهر الإرهاب على يد حماة الديار الجيش العربي السوري. وإعادة اعمار سوريا سوريا الأمل بالمشاركة بين الجميع جيش و قيادة و شعب.
الخارج السوري: التعاون مع الدول الكبرى لمحاربة الإرهاب الذي بات يهدد مصالح جميع هذه الدول. وإعادة الإعمار في سوريا من خلال اجتذاب اللإستثمارات و الخبرات من الدول الصديقة. إعادة ترميم العلاقات السورية العربية بهدف إحداث السلام في المنطقة و حماية و تنمية إقتصاد الوطن العربي.
* بإعتقادك ما هي أفضل السبل الممكنة للتخفيف من معاناة المرأة السورية في معسكرات اللجوء والنزوح المنتشرة في عدة بلدان؟
- لن ينهي هذه المعاناة إلا توفير و تيسير السبل لعودة السوريات من مخيمات اللجوء إلى حضن الوطن
من هذه السبل :
في الداخل السوري: بناء مساكن إيواء للنساء اللواتي فقدن بيوتهن بسبب الأزمة والحرب.
توفير ورشات توعية تساعد هذه السيدات على التخلص من أثار ثقافة الدم لمساعدتها نفسيا و معنويا وحماية جيل المستقبل من مخلفات الحقد.
إشراكهن في مشاريع مستدامة ليكونوا جزء فاعل و منتج لرفع اقتصاد الدولة
و دعمهن في مجال التعليم المجاني و الطبابة و العلاج.
* ما تعليقك على ما يتم تداوله في وسائل الإعلام العربية حول النساء السوريات اللاجئات لاسيما زواج القاصرات منهن في البلدان المتواجدة فيها؟
- أستنكر هذا الفعل المشين بحق الإنسانية و المرأة والأم ،وأرى فيه إجحاف و إنتقاص من قيمة المرأة العربية و ظلم و استغلال للمرأة السورية.
* بصفتك سيدة أعمال وتواكبي أخر التطورات والمستجدات في مجال الأعمال الحرة، هل تعتقدين أن هذا المجال يمنح الفرصة الكافية للمرأة في العمل والمنافسة والمساواة الكاملة؟ أم أن الأمر خلاف ذلك؟
- في مجال التجارة و الأعمال هناك مساواة كاملة و المعوقات محدودة و الفرصة في هذا المجال تصنعها المرأة نفسها من خلال رسم خطة مدروسة لمسارها على صعيد العمل و الذي يبدأ بالعلم ثم اكتساب الخبرات من خلال العمل و تطوير الذات لجعلها مؤهلة لإدارة الأعمال و الشركات.
* كثيرا من سيدات الأعمال العربيات تعاني من قيود القوانين السائدة والإقصاء والتهميش في بلادهن، حسب رأيك هل حان الوقت لتشكيل تحالفات إقتصادية ومالية نسائية لتجاوز هذه العقبات والإشكاليات؟
- لا أعرف بالضبط ماذا تعني بتحالفات اقتصادية نسائية ؟! و لكن أجيبك أن
لا ينحصر التهميش على سيدات الأعمال فقط وإنما هو يشمل المرأة العربية عامة فهي مقيدة بتقاليد وعادات و مسؤؤليات الإنجاب و الزواج و إدارة المنزل....الخ. والقوانين العربية لم تنصفها و تدعمها في مجالات كثيرة للتمكن من القيام بمسؤؤلياتها و العمل معاً بتوازي. مثال على ذلك الفترة ما بعد الولادة و العودة للعمل أو مناصرتها ضد التحرش الذي تتعرض له المرأة خلال العمل و كثير من المعوقات المشابهة التي تثبط من المرأة و طموحها.
بالتأكيد وجود مجالس وجمعيات نسائية للحوار و تبادل الخبرات يساعد على تقدم المرأة في مجال الأعمال.على سبيل المثال من مهام مجالس سيدات الأعمال تطوير العلاقات مع البنوك و ذلك لدعم العضوات و تيسير السبل لهن في مجالات الإستثمار ومنح القروض لبدء مشاريعهن وأعمالهن. ربط سيدات الأعمال بغرف التجارة و الصناعة وإعطاءهن فرصة متساوية للمشاركة بالجولات الإقتصادية و البعثات التجارية للبحث عن فرص واعدة. و فتح مجالات جديدة في سوق العمل تناسب المرأة و مؤهلاتها.
* هل هناك فروق ما بين مسميات رائدة الأعمال وسيدة الأعمال وصاحبة الأعمال؟ وما هو تعريفك الشخصي لسيدة الأعمال؟
- نعم هناك فروق. صاحبة الأعمال هي سيدة تستثمر أموالها بأسهم في مشاريع و لكن لا تديرها و لا تكون جزء في بناء أو تطوير الشركة او المؤسسة. سيدة الأعمال هي سيدة تبوأت منصب إداري إما بصعود السلم الوظيفي أو بتأسيس شركة و هي تتحمل مسؤؤلية مباشرة في إدارة المشاريع أو الشركة و مشاركتها تكون لها تأثير مباشرعلى الناتج الربحي لهذه الشركة. رائدة الأعمال هي سيدة ذو فكرة متطورة جديدة خلاقة تتشارك فيها مع مسثمرين أو تبنيها بنفسها من الصفر.
* ما هي أكثر المجالات إستثماراَ لسيدات الأعمال العربيات بشكل عام والسوريات على وجه الخصوص؟
- أكثر المجالات استثمارا لسيدات الأعمال أرتبها كالتالي العقار و سندات الإستثمار و سوق الذهب ثم الأسهم. بالنسبة للسوريات أعتقد أن الإستثمار بالمشاريع الصغيرة قبل الأزمة أما بعد الأزمة الإسنثمار أعتقد أنه العقار.
* رغم القدرات المالية الهائلة لدى سيدات أعمال الخليج وقوة حضورهن الاقتصادي لكن لم يتم ترجمة قوتهن وتسييلها بإتجاه تقوية حضورهن السياسي وفتح أفق جديدة لمشاركة أوسع في المجالات الأخرى وتعزيز مبدأ المساواة والعدالة الاجتماعية ، ما تعليقك على ذلك؟
- أشيد بالقيادات الخليجية الرائدة و بالأخص الإماراتية. هذه القيادات الحكيمة ساهموا واستثمروا في بناء المرأة الخليجية و كرسوا المال و الجهد للنهوض بفكرها و دعمها بفرص التعليم المتطورة و فرص العمل و التدريب الواعدة على مدى العشرين سنة الماضية حتى أصبحت المرأة الخليجية تتبوأ مناصب إدارية و قيادية و باتت لامعة في مجالات الأعمال و المحافل الدولية. أما في مجال حقوق المرأة و السياسة فلا زال أمامها الكثير من العقبات وأولها مدى أن تكون مؤهلة و أضيف أن هذه خطوة لا تأتي إلا بعد أجيال من التطور الفكري و الحضاري للمرأة و لكن لا ننسى أن هناك حالات اسثنائية لسيدات مبدعات خليجيات برزن في مناصب في وزارة الخارجية و البرلمان وهن رمز لكل امرأة طموحة. من ناحية هي مؤهلة و من ناحية أخرى لولا دعم الرجل القيادي لها و إتاحة الفرصة المتساوية برحابة صدر لما تبوأت هذه المناصب.
* حاليا تقاس قوة تحضر الدول بمدى صونها وإحترامها للمرأة وتعزيز وتقوية مكانتها في كافة المجالات والميادين بخلاف ما تتم ممارسته في الدول العربية، ما تعقيبك على ذلك؟
- عندما ينشغل فكرالإنسان باحترام الإنسان و مناصرته في حقوقه و بناء الجمعيات و المؤسسات الإجتماعية الغير ربحية التي تنمي المجتمع والمرأة فهذا يكون مقياس على مدى تطور فكر الفرد و المجتمع و مدى استقرار الدولة اقتصاديا و سياسيا. وعندما تبني مجتمع فيه المرأة و الرجل منتجين فإنك حتما تنمي الإقتصاد و ترفع من مستوى معيشة الفرد و تطور فكر المرأة الذي ترضعه للأجيال القادمة فينشأ جيل متطور.
* هل لديك طموحات شخصية لتكوني قيادية سياسية ويكون لديك دور في المرحلة المقبلة؟
- أتمنى أن أكون سفيرة للسلام و المرأة لوطني سوريا و المساهمة في إعادة بناء و توطيد العلاقات السورية السورية، و السورية العربية والأجنبية.
* كلمتك الأخيرة لقراء ومتابعي " وكالة أخبار المرأة "؟
- شكرا لمديرعام وكالة أخبار المرأة الإعلامي محمد كريزم ولوكالة أخبار المرأة للمشاركة في تدعيم المرأة و إلقاء الضوء على فكرها ليصل إلى عدد أكبر من فئات المجتمع. و أختتم حواري هذا بشعار نعم لدعم المرأة.

View On Black I MALAY WEDDING ®©2011 Onephotostream / Bizzitone.
A Malay wedding is usually performed when either one or both spouses are Malay. Malaysian law defines a Malay person as a Muslim.Malay weddings are grand affairs where the couple is treated as royalty. The traditional wedding ceremony is in two parts. The first part is the akad nikah (marriage contract), which is the legal and religious part of the wedding. The second part is the bersanding (enthronement), which is a family celebration. It is usual for the two parts to be celebrated over two days. However, it is becoming common for there to be a gap between the parts of the wedding, during which the couple are legally married, but saving up for an elaborate bersanding. In cases where the couple have family spread around the world, a number of bersanding may be held in different countries to allow everyone to wish the couple well.

Allocated G18-149 to Bristol Aeroplane Company 22 Dec 1953 and was allotted to the Royal Pakistan Air Force as S4404 on 22 Dec 1953. Delivered to Royal Pakistan Air Force during 1954.
S4404 was sold abroad 24 Aug 65 to SAFE and registered as ZK-CLT ‘Merchant Hauler’ on 1 Jun 1965. Delivered to Auckland 24 Aug 1965 and entered service 17 Dec 1965 named 'Merchant Hauler'.
Ownership was transferred to Safe Air Ltd. 31 Oct 1967.
ZK-CLT was one of the Freighters that were fitted out for the passenger capsule flights to Chatham Islands, retaining its fuselage windows for that purpose.
SAFE Air Bristol Freighter ZK-CAM was landing at Woodbourne on 14 Jan 1981 when the right undercarriage collapsed at end of landing roll due to fatigue in the structure. The aircraft was not repaired following this incident and the registration was cancelled on 14 May 1981. The rear fuselage was employed in a rebuild of ZK-CLT. rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/11951?page=2
Withdrawn from service 23 Sep 1986 with 19,022 hours and 18,720 landings.
It was then passed on to the RNZAF Museum and flown to Wigram bearing the unofficial serial NZ5913 on 21 May 1987. The engines were exchanged with the Museum's NZ5903. The proposed swap for a Bolingbroke project did not eventuate and NZ5913 was then flown back to Woodbourne on 25 Jun 1988 for an overhaul at SafeAir prior to being placed back on the civil register as ZK-CLT on 25 Jul 1988.
ZK-CLT was sold to Trans Provincial Airlines Ltd, Prince Rupert, BC, Canada on 25 Jul 1988. It left Auckland for Canada on 7 Oct 1989 and the registration was cancelled (for the second time) 12 Jan 1990. On arrival in Canada the Freighter became C-FTPA with Trans Provincial Airlines from 6 Jul 1990, ownership moving to MRS 4000 Investments Ltd., Vancouver, BC 21 Apr 1994 and Hawkair Aviation Services Ltd., Terrace, BC 1 Aug 1994.
C-FTPA crashed at Bronson Creek 24 Apr 1997, when the starboard undercarriage failed on landing ground looped on landing and the aircraft ran off runway into ditch.
Stripped of useable parts and hulk of fuselage left at Bronson Creek.

Map of Bronson Creek:
The Soligas are a tribe that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, India. Their population numbers close to 20000, although the population in and around Biligrirangan Hills is only 2000.
The word 'Soliga' means 'one who has come from within a bamboo'. The Soligas believe that their ancestors originated from the bamboo. The tribal settlement is called Podu. It consists of a group of usually 10 to 50 huts. The huts are made of bamboos and dried grass. The door is a portable bamboo frame and usually 3 feet in height.
The religion of the Soligas is the poetry of their life. They do not find God to be away or alien but feel His presence in the forest, in Nature and in every blade of grass. They revere a big Champak tree (Dodda Sampige in local tongue) in the interior forest.
"The Lord of Dodda Sampige Do protect us! The creeper that hangs over the tree Swings gently as a cradle for Thee."
Traditionally, the Soligas led a seminomadic life and subsisted on small game. Shifting cultivation, coffee and minor forest produce like honey, wild roots, tubes and fruits. Ragi is their staple food.
They are increasingly being brought to the 'main-stream' with an active Government and NGO initiative (such as VGKK). Many have been given lands closer to 'civilization' and most of the forest-dwelling population have been brought together into clusters called Podus. Nowadays their homes are being constructed with brick and with the arrival of DTH Satellite Television in the area, most houses have television sets as well!

Los asfodelos o gamones (Asphodelus spp.) son un género de plantas vivaces herbáceas, bianuales o perennes, oriundas del sur y centro de Europa; se han difundido hoy por todo el mundo como plantas ornamentales, gracias a sus grandes flores y la facilidad de su cultivo, requiriendo pocos nutrientes, escasa humedad y mucha luz. Son bulbosas, y varias especies producen tubérculos.
En la antigua Grecia, los asfodelos se colocaban en la tumba de los muertos y se empleaban en las ceremonias fúnebres, en la creencia de que facilitaban el tránsito de los difuntos a los Campos Elíseos, que se creía tapizado de éstos.
The asfodelos or gamones (Asphodelus spp.) Is a genus of herbaceous perennial, biennial or perennial, born in the south and centre of Europe, have spread throughout the world today as ornamental plants, thanks to their large blooms and ease of cultivation, requiring low in nutrients, low humidity and plenty of light. They bulbosas, and several species produce tubers.
In ancient Greece, asfodelos placed in the tomb of the dead and were used in funeral ceremonies in the belief that facilitated the transit of the deceased to the Champs Elysees, believed to trim them.

Inspirada na figura da MEDUSA, que é uma das três Górgonas, divindades da mitologia grega, filhas das divindades marinhas Fórcis e Ceto e irmãs das velhas Gréias. Ao contrário de suas irmãs Górgonas, Esteno e Euríale, Medusa era mortal [1].Medusa era portadora de extrema beleza juntamente com suas duas irmãs. Quando estava sentada num campo cercada de flores de Primavera, o deus do Oceano, Poseídon, une-se a ela que gere dois únicos filhos, mas estes só nascem no momento da morte de Medusa. As vidas das três irmãs, vidas debochadas e dissolutas, aborrecia os demais deuses, principalmente a deusa Afrodite. Para castigá-las, Afrodite as transformou em monstros com serpentes em vez dos seus belos cabelos, presas pontiagudas, mãos de bronze, asas de ouro, e seu olhar petrificava quem olhasse diretamente em seus olhos. Temidas pelos homens e pelos deuses, as três habitavam o extremo Ocidente, junto ao país das Hespérides e vizinhas de Nix (a deusa da Noite). A Morte de Medusa [1]. Perseu foi encarregado pelo rei de Sérifo, Polidete, de decepar e lhe dar de presente a cabeça da Medusa para, em sua vez, Polidectes oferecer como prenda a Énomao, rei de Pisa, com fim de desposar a sua filha Hipodâmia. Para isso, o herói Perseu encontrou-se com umas certas ninfas africanas que gentilmente lhe ofereceram objetos mágicos para o ajudarem no combate a Medusa, tais como: um alforge, um par de sandálias aladas, que lhe permitiam elevar-se como uma pena e escapar velozmente dos monstros, um escudo de bronze bem polido cujo reflexo neutralizava o olhar petrificante das irmãs de Medusa e um capacete que, uma vez colocado, o convertia numa figura invisível, possibilitando-o de se aproximar de Medusa sem este ser descoberto. Quando Perseu a decapitou usando uma foice com uma rigidez de diamante e bem afiada, uma oferta do deus Hermes, as grandes figuras mitológicas Pégasso (o cavalo alado) e Crisaor, com a sua espada dourada, nasceram do pescoço de Medusa. Perseu recolheu a cabeça decapitada de Medusa e colocou-a no alforge que as ninfas lhe tinham entregue para manter a cabeça bem tapada de todos os olhares, pois Medusa, mesmo depois de morta, seria ainda capaz de petrificar quem a fitasse nos olhos tal era a dimensão do seu poder. Durante a aventura de Perseu, na missão de entregar a cabeça de Medusa ao rei, teve a oportunidade de fazer da cabeça uma poderosa arma de defesa e transformar em pedra Atlas, o gigante titã, e a inteira corte de Polidectes. Com o rei então convertido a uma estátua de pedra, a cabeça de Medusa foi dedicada à deusa Atena que, por fim, colocou-a no seu escudo como adorno e símbolo apotrópico, que era uma arte comummente usada para afastar tudo o que seria malévolo.

Shot from a moving vehicle at 50mph!! A good but probably dangerous way to travel was to sit in the back of the utility vehicle we were using to get around. you get a 180 degree view with no windscreen distortion then.
Using a Trek Tech Optera minipod I was able to keep the 5D and great white lens steady. Having bright african light helps a lot for fast shutter speeds too
The Panagia Eleousa Monastery of Sindi is situated on the west bank of the Xeros river and was built around 1500, restored in the 18th century and renovated between 1994 and 1997 for which renovation it won the Europa Nostra Award in 1997.
The following is an excerpt from the book “Medieval Cyprus: A Guide to the Byzantine and Latin Monuments” by Gwynneth der Parthog published by Moufflon publications, which is highly recommended to anyone interested in this aspect of the history and culture of Cyprus.
“The monastery stands near the river, sheltered by the surrounding hills. Remains of cells and offices occupy three sides of a fairly spacious courtyard, the church itself being on the south side. The church is quite arresting: lofty, well-constructed, a ground-span of 15 by 6 metres and a high octagonal lantern with four lights under a tile covered dome - an astonishing monument to come upon in such a remote place. It has a tall three-sided apse containing a sizeable window under a hooded dripstone. Two of the three doorways have similar hoods: the immense main entrance from the courtyard, and the one at the west end. The smaller south door, now blocked, has a plain rectangular frame with a curiously built double lintel - a mid-18th-century style also found at the Tekke in Larnaka and at Arpera church. The walls are buttressed on the north and south. Inside is a single, lofty aisle, austere and impressive; in the apex of the west wall, a round window. The only ornament is the beautiful screen which divides the nave from the bema, glowing with icons. The screen itself is of plain ungilded walnut and its design of dragons, vines and flowers follows that of the 16th-century original. Part of this earlier screen is now displayed in the Kykko museum. The poor state of the monastic buildings necessitated a certain amount of rebuilding, especially on the east side; while, on the north side, the synod hall, refectory and kitchen have been carefully resored. In the centre of the yard is a deep, stone-lined well.
Sindi was erected on land belonging to a Latin overlord named Gautier de Moine and could well have been occupied first by Latin monks. During the Turkish period, it was put under the protection of Kykko monastery, which sent its own monks down. When the Russian Orthodox monk Barsky visited in 1735, he wrote that only three monks lived, the small amount of land unable to sustain more. He records that the monastery was thriving and possessed two water mills, one on either side of the river, a few fruit trees and land for growing corn.”

~ Finally made it to this cafe, it has been opened for a year, but for one reason or another I didn't go until now. They serve Intelligentsia coffee.
The Cafe's owner Paul Joo is a very friendly person, and he has extensive knowledge about his coffee.
I really liked this shop, well prepared coffee, small, but comfortable setting (they are expanding soon), humble, and great customer service. I think I'll be visiting this shop often. A great shop to get your good coffee in Koreatown, and they open late and that works great for me.

Taking a break from the coastal brown bears, I reflected back on the many bald eagle sightings that we were afforded on this trip. This is a shot of one of the eagles that we woke up to one morning right outside of our campground on Homer Spit, affectionately referred to as the "spit" by locals.
Homer is a wonderful artist community on the Kenai Peninsula. I have previously posted shots from there, including the "spit" itself and views across Kachemak Bay. It is by far one of the most beautiful towns in Alaska and a personal favorite of mine. It was the home of the infamous "Eagly Lady" and the site of most of the magnificent bald eagles shots in North America.
After our Katmai NP adventure, we camped out on Homer Spit. Upon waking up, it was such a gorgeous day so I wanted to take a walk on the shore (aka our backyard), so off I went armed with nothing but my sunglasses. I quickly had to retreat for my ammunition - my Nikon D300 and a nice long lens to shoot with. Why? Because there sat a pair of bald eagles basking in the sunlight.
This one was perched up on this rock, just looking off in the distance, so beautiful. I began to approach it more closely (from an angle, not direct). Others saw what I was shooting and began to approach them head on. I started shooting immediately, figuring that they would vacate the area quickly, but to my surprise, that wasn't the case. Respectfully I began to get closer myself. Both eagles never altered their behavior. When I got as close as I wanted to, in other words to where I could still get the entire eagle in, I sat down in the sand and shot away.
The bald eagle is the eagle unique to North America and is our national bird. It thrives in Alaska, where it is estimated that over 1/2 of all bald eagles live.
We do get to see numerous bald eagles in Florida, but not usually from this close of a range.
What a wonderful treat to see and spend time with - in my "backyard", even if it's my backyard for just a few days.
Thanks so much for your views and comments to my photostream. Both are appreciated! There will be more bear shots coming, but not for the next few days.

TRAMWAY BUILDING (Teatro Hotel)
1100 14th St.
National Register 1/5/1978, 5DV.140
The 1911 red brick office building and attached streetcar barn served as the headquarters of the city’s public transportation system until its purchase by the City of Denver in 1971. The prolific architectural firm of William E. and Arthur A. Fisher designed the three-part vertical block type structure with its striking white terra cotta accents. The property is associated with the Historic Resources of Downtown Denver Multiple Property Submission.
The Denver Tramway building was built in 1911 and held the city's public transportation system offices and attached street-car barn until 1971. The structure was designed by the firm of Fisher & Fisher and restored in the 1990s and is now home to the upscale Hotel Teatro.
The operation of Denver’s streetcar system impacted the business district in the first half of the twentieth century. Denver architects William E. and Arthur Fisher designed the 1912 Denver City Tramway Company’s corporate headquarters at1100 14th Street.
The Tramway Company, the major public transportation system of early twentieth century Denver, resulted from the consolidation of earlier street railway firms in 1899, and its route influenced the patterns of development of the city. The eight-story Renaissance Revival style red brick building with white terra-cotta trim had an attached three-story streetcar barn.

Well yesterday was a busy day with a wedding in the morning then a wedding party in the evening,
Julia + James got married in Las Vegas but had their wedding reception at the Boardwalk right next to the sea in Whitley Bay
I will be honest I never thought I would enjoy wedding photography but after doing quite a few now I think I have caught the bug,There is something lovely about spending the day with 2 very happy people and there family and friends!

Der Waldmaikäfer (Melolontha hippocastani) und der Feldmaikäfer (Melolontha melolontha) sind die bei weitem häufigsten Vertreter unter den Maikäfern.
Der Name Maikäfer ist sozusagen sein Programm: Kaum dass Anfang Mai frisches Grün die Laubwälder krönt, kommt der Käfer aus dem Boden und fällt darüber her. Doch das macht er keineswegs jedes Jahr, sondern er hält sich an einen Vierjahreszyklus. Wie kommt es dazu?
Wenn die Maikäfer mit lautem Gebrumm unterwegs sind, dann steuern sie stets Laubbäume an. Etwa drei Wochen lang fressen sie oft ganze Wälder kahl, wobei die Blattmasse dem Weibchen in erster Linie dazu dient, rund 100 Eier zu produzieren. Nach der Paarung werden die Eier in den Boden abgelegt, wo aus ihnen kleine Larven schlüpfen. Und jetzt beginnt das, was die Forstleute weit mehr fürchten als den Blattfraß der Käfer, denn die kahlgefressenen Bäume treiben Anfang Juni neue Blätter. Jedoch die Larve, auch Engerling genannt, wird bei einer Massenvermehrung, wie sie dieses Jahr im hessischen Ried zum wiederholten Mal stattfindet, zu einem kaum noch lösbaren Problem.
Denn diese Larve frisst zwar im ersten Jahr lediglich die Wurzeln von Gräsern und Kräutern, doch vom zweiten bis vierten Jahr macht sie sich über die Wurzeln junger Bäume her, so dass der Nachwuchs des Waldes in weiten Bereichen zwischen Lampertheim und Darmstadt keine Chance zum Überleben mehr hat. Etwa alle 30 bis 40 Jahre machen die Maikäfer solche Massenvermehrungen, wobei diese Überpopulation dann irgendwann meist aufgrund von Krankheiten zusammenbricht und man dann für lange Zeit den Eindruck gewinnt, die Maikäfer seien ausgestorben, was einst Reinhard Mey zu seinem sentimentalen musikalischen Nachruf "Es gibt keine Maikäfer mehr" veranlasst haben mag. Doch die Maikäfer erfreuen sich dank menschlicher Aktivitäten wie der Absenkung des Grundwasserspiegels bester Bedingungen, was sie mit nie da gewesener Vermehrungsrate belohnen. So kommt es, dass den durch Abgase und Trockenheit vorgeschädigten Waldökosystemen in der Rheinebene der Zusammenbruch droht. Doch statt den menschgemachten Ursachen für das Waldsterben zu Leibe zu rücken, will man nun den Maikäfern vom Hubschrauber aus mit Pilzsporen und Fraßgiften, die man aus dem indischen Neem-Baum gewinnt, ans Leder. Dieses Gift tötet die Käfer nicht, aber es soll ihre Vitalität und damit ihre Vermehrungsrate beeinträchtigen. Im Vergleich zu den 50er und 60er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, als man das Problem mit dem Insektizid DDT zu lösen versuchte und dabei in den Wäldern der Rheinebene für einen stummen Frühling sorgte, wäre das immerhin ein Fortschritt. Doch das Maikäferproblem lösen wird es wohl kaum.
Der Kampf gegen Maikäfer in früheren Zeiten war beschaulicher und darüber hinaus von einer kulinarischen Besonderheit begleitet, der Maikäfersuppe. Ohne Flügel und Beine wurden die Maikäfer in Butter geröstet und beispielsweise in Hühnerbrühe gegart. Der Geschmack soll dem von Krebssuppe ähneln. Eine weitere Kuriosität stellen Gerichtsverhandlungen dar, die man im Mittelalter gegen Maikäfer geführt hat. Dabei wurden die Tiere dazu verurteilt, binnen Dreitagesfrist ein mit Tafeln gekennzeichnetes Areal zu verlassen, ansonsten wären sie vogelfrei und der Ausrottung preisgegeben. Bevor jemand aus heutiger Sicht über so viel Naivität herablassend lächelt, sollte sie oder er sich allerdings einmal die Erfolgsgeschichte der modernen Bekämpfungsmethoden mit chemischen und biologischen Waffen genauer betrachten. Derzeit ist jedenfalls nicht erkennbar, dass sie wirkungsvoller als Gerichtsverhandlungen sind.
Wer wissen möchte, was man sonst noch alles mit Maikäfern machen kann, die man zuvor von den Bäumen geschüttelt hat, dem sei Wilhelm Buschs Geschichte von Max und Moritz empfohlen, doch gleichzeitig zur Vorsicht bei Nachahmung geraten, da die dort verbreiteten Rezepte mit dem Einhandeln von Ärger verbunden sind, den man unweigerlich mit seinen Mitmenschen bekommt.
