Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.
In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.
This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.
The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.

After 93 years in 1990 the VFL decided to change its name to the Australian Football League (AFL) to further represent its national identity.
This Image is Dedicated to my dear late Father. This is his old Bombers VFL Beanie.
He loved the Mighty Bombers with a passion! :)

These Giant Binoculars are 45' tall and were created from 1989-1991 by Claes Oldenburg and his wife Coosje van Bruggen. They were originally designed for a project in Venice, Italy that fell through. Architect Frank Gehry liked the design and incorporated it into his Chiat/Day Buildin in Venice,California. The binoculars themselves function as office space.
Claes Oldenburg was born in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of a Swedish diplomat stationed in New York. In 1936 his father was transferred to Chicago where Oldenburg grew up, attending the Latin School of Chicago. He studied at Yale University from 1946 to 1950, then returned to Chicago where he took classes at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While further developing his craft, he worked as a reporter at the City News Bureau of Chicago. He also opened his own studio and, in 1953, became a naturalized citizen of the United States.
The most memorable aspects of Oldenburg's works are perhaps, the colossal sculptures that he has made in partnership with his late wife, Coosje van Bruggen. Sculptures, though quite large, often have interactive capabilities.
Many of Oldenburg's large-scale sculptures of mundane objects elicited public ridicule before being embraced as whimsical, insightful, and fun additions to public outdoor art. In the 1960s he became associated with the Pop Art movement and created many so-called happenings, which were performance art related productions of that time.

Amsterdam has been called the "Venice of the North" for its more than one hundred kilometres of canals, about 90 islands and 1.500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.
Brouwersgracht means "brewers' canal. Construction of the canal belt began here in 1614. The canal gets its name from the many breweries established here in the 17th and 18th centuries, most of which have been converted into trendy warehouse apartments.. This canal has a friendly feel and is known for its picturesque humpback bridges and many houseboats. If you have time, explore a longer stretch of this canal, beyond the Prinsengracht.

De Oranjebrug, bouwjaar 1898. IJzeren ophaalbrug 146, tussen de Binnen Oranjestraat en de Willemsstraat te Amsterdam.
Deze ophaalbrug ontleent haar naam aan de straat waarin zij ligt. De herkomst van deze straatnaam is onzeker. Mogelijk verwijst zij naar het huis ‘De Prins van Oranje’, dat hier vroeger dicht bij de Haarlemmerdijk heeft gestaan.
Vanaf 1612 werd vanaf de Brouwersgracht de grachtengordel in zuidelijke richting gegraven. De gracht dankt sinds 1894 zijn naam aan de vele bierbrouwerijen die in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw in deze buurt waren te vinden
i do not fear heights.
in my profession its not at all uncommon to find myself high up in the air, with heavy things in my hands. Whether it be on a 20' ladder, a scissor lift, genie, or catwalk... lights get places up high, often in hard to maneuver places. i own my own 5 point full body fall arrest harness, all my tools are rigged to tie off to my body, and i use carabiners for more than just keychains.
i fear spiders. i do not fear heights.

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.

"Shorts Creek begins its journey west of Terrace Mountain. It winds through the hills, bubbles under Westside Road and flows calmly under the bridge at the park entrance. Between these two roads, it makes a wildly exuberant dash down to the delta, leaping out into space at three separate points. The first cataract is fairly sedate, the second is more enthusiastic and the third, closest to the delta, is spectacular.
BC Parks has made it easy for waterfall-watchers. A sturdy staircase leads up to the largest cascade, then the steps parallel the gorge up to the middle falls. You can safely enjoy watching tumbling water in one direction and beautiful Okanagan Lake in another. (There are lots of landings along the 400-step climb, so you can catch your breath as you appreciate the scenery.)
These falls were Dun-Water’s greatest ally when he was moulding the isolated, undeveloped delta into an estate. He captured the creek’s power in a system of wood stave, wire wrapped pipes so ingenious that European engineers, said was “absolutely impossible” even when they were looking at it. The harnessed water allowed the Laird to have spray irrigation for orchards and gardens plus running water in houses and barns while neighbors relied on pails and pumps. He also used this “hydro” power to grind grain and run a respectably sized sawmill. By tying a Pelton wheel into the system he generated electricity. He even had his own telephone network linking the main buildings."
Chances are, you’re probably familiar with the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, or if not, you have probably heard about it. But, unless you live near the Tampa, Fla.- area, you probably haven’t heard about the Airstream Ranch. Located off the I-4. Frank Bates’ (owner of Bates RV) pays homage to Airstreams.
Bates, a former Texan native, came up with this idea as a way to honor Airstream’s 75th birthday celebrated a couple of years earlier. He recalled reading an interview with Stanley Marsh, the creator of the Cadillac Ranch, who said his creation was a way pay respect to Cadillacs, which he referred to them as the premier automobile people drove as they explored America. Well, the Airstream to Bates is the premier RV that people used (and still do) to camp in across America. Using a backhoe and crane, he buried seven big ones and one little on to represent 75 years. copied
The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engined medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. It was used by many Allied air forces, in every theater of World War II, as well as many other air forces after the war ended, and saw service across four decades.
The B-25 was named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. By the end of its production, nearly 10,000 B-25s in numerous models had been built. These included a few limited variations, such as the United States Navy's and Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber and the United States Army Air Forces' F-10 photo reconnaissance aircraft.
The B-25 first gained fame as the bomber used in the 18 April 1942 Doolittle Raid, in which 16 B-25Bs led by the legendary Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle attacked mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The mission gave a much-needed lift in spirits to the Americans, and alarmed the Japanese who had believed their home islands were inviolable by enemy troops. While the amount of actual damage done was relatively minor, it forced the Japanese to divert troops for the home defense for the remainder of the war. The raiders took off from the carrier USS Hornet and successfully bombed Tokyo and four other Japanese cities without loss. However, 15 subsequently crash-landed en route to recovery fields in Eastern China. These losses were the result of the task force being spotted by Japanese fishing vessels forcing the bombers to take off 170 mi (270 km) early, fuel exhaustion, stormy nighttime conditions with zero visibility, and lack of electronic homing aids at the recovery bases. Only one landed intact; it came down in the Soviet Union, where its five-man crew was interned and the aircraft confiscated. Of the 80 aircrew, 69 survived their historic mission and eventually made it back to American lines.

De metaalindustrie ontwikkelde zich in Europa in eerste instantie op plaatsen waar ijzererts in de grond werd gevonden. Zo de omgeving van Neurenberg in Beieren, het graafschap Vianden, de omgeving van Luik en de Engelse Midlands. Pas door het treinvervoer kon de metaalindustrie zich op andere plaatsen vestigen.
In Nederland kwam slechts ijzeroer voor, bijvoorbeeld in de IJsselstreek. Daar ontstonden in de 18e eeuw enkele ijzergieterijen/hoogovens, waarvan die in Deventer de grootste was. Een veel langere levensduur was echter die in Ulft beschoren: DRU bestond als ijzergietrij van 1754 - 1973.
De belangrijkste metalen binnen de industrie waren koper, tin en zink en later ijzer. IJzer werd gebruikt om staal mee te produceren.
On April 19, 1917, H.J.E. Wenckebach and others proposed to setup a steel plant in the The Netherlands with a purpose to reduce Dutch industry's dependence on imports. A Founding Committee for the Dutch Blast Furnace, Steel and Rolling Works was formed on May 31, 1917, to raise the funds. Once the funds had been raised, the company was founded as Koninklijke Nederlandsche Hoogovens en Staalfabrieken N.V. (Royal Dutch Blast Furnaces and Steel Factories) in The Hague on September 20, 1918. The seed capital was provided by City of Amsterdam, Government of The Netherlands, various private investors and Dutch companies. To provide easy access to ports, the plant was located at IJmuiden, the city on the North Sea coast at the mouth of and created by the diggers of the North Sea Canal, which had been created to accommodate the deeper drafts of steam-powered ships traveling to the port of Amsterdam.
On 6 October 1999 the company merged with British Steel Plc to form the Corus Group, one of the world largest steel producers. On 20 October 2006 the board of directors accepted a $7.6 billion takeover bid from India's Tata Steel.

British Pathe Newsreel Clip from the 1920s Camps Bay Tram Ride
A tram ride described in an old Cape Town guide as being “without doubt the most beautiful in the world”, the trams brought all the peninsula to Camps Bay to turn it into the region’s favourite holiday resort.
The construction was authorized by special Act of Parliament passed on 20 October 1899.
The Camps Bay Tramways Company encouraged people to travel to Camps Bay – of course by tram – by providing amusements. These included an amusement park with a switchback railway, paddling and swimming pools, a promenade and refreshment pavilion. Competitions such as athletics and building sand castles were organized.
The first tramline between Sea Point and Camps Bay was opened on 9 November 1901 (the birthday of King Edward VII). There was a fleet of 17 long, low chocolate and cream coloured single decker cars. Seven had open sides seating 65 passengers. Seven had a small glassed-in screen in the centre seating only 54. They all had a powerful headlight switched on at night which threw out an eerie sweeping beam across the then deserted slopes.
From the car sheds and power station in Camps Bay a second line was laid from Cape Town to Camps Bay over Kloof Nek. This opened on 9 November 1902, with a press preview on the 8th. The cost for land and construction was £200,000.
Passengers could now ride a circular route around the mountain. The 12 miles round trip took just over 40 minutes.
There were also three freight trams. Two were open while a covered tram took coal to the power station and delivered Camps Bay beach sand to builders in Cape Town.
Both these lines were considerable feats of engineering as the cars had to safely negotiate steep gradients.
An added difficulty was the fact that the whole of the work was carried out during the progress of the Boer War. Not only did this prevent easy shipping facilities but serious trouble arose from the difficulty of obtaining adequate labour. Despite this, the nine miles of difficult track work was completed without serious delay.
Conditions of some of the native labourers are described by Gwynne Shrire in her book Camps Bay, an Illustrated History. She quotes a Lawrence Richardson who visited Cape Town in 1902 on a fact finding mission for the Quakers (the Religious Society of Friends). She quotes:-
This morning we have been to see a “native location” a couple of miles from here (at Camps Bay). About 200 Kaffirs working on a tramline are living in little huts made of corrugated iron. They were “raw” or red blanket Kaffirs, i.e. uncivilized. They come from various parts of the country. On Sundays and holidays they leave off their European clothes and go back to their blankets. We were told that they earn up to 4 shillings per day and as they live on 4 shillings per week they soon save; when a man has saved about ten pounds he goes home to live in idleness till it is spent. They are generally orderly unless they get liquor.
In fact the main objective of the tramway was not to make money by providing transport but as a means of opening up Oranjezicht and Camps Bay in order to sell land for development of private residences.
In 1898 a syndicate was formed by building contractor Samuel Solomon Mills, engineer George Paling and others. They bought all the freehold land in Camps Bay for £33,000 and also obtained the tract of “perpetual quit-rent” land originally granted to the one time Attorney General Sir Anthony Oliphant in 1839. To guarantee adequate supplies of water, the syndicate leased Oudekraal, the area to the south of it and a farm at Oranjezicht.
On 6 May 1899 a group of mining houses and financiers who already had shares in Cape Tramways registered a company called Cape Marine Suburbs which purchased land on the False Bay and Atlantic coasts.
The companies purchased vast tracts of land including much of Camps Bay. After the Jameson Raid, Cape Town was inundated by refugees from the Transvaal. However, the depression following the end of the Anglo-Boer War foiled these development plans. It is estimated that in 1902 some 27,000 people left Cape Town so Camps Bay continued primarily as a venue for recreation.
With little “commuter traffic” the trams remained mainly a tourist attraction.
In 1924 the Cape Town Tramways started its own bus service between Clifton, Camps Bay and Bakoven and the SA Railways ran a bus service to Camps Bay and Bakoven. The trams had proved less profitable than hoped and land prices remained low.
The last tram finally ceased running on 16 February 1930. Usable parts of Camps Bay trams were used to build “new” Cape Town tramcars.
In the next few years, the power station chimney was demolished. Brighton Court was erected in 1937 as an apartment block of ten units on the site of the running sheds. The council removed all the tram rails and the overhead lines and remade the road to provide a circular motor route.
Route of the trams
It must be recalled that for only part of the distance the trams ran on the Company’s own tracks. The remainder of the journey was on the tracks of the Cape Town Tramway Companies. This enabled passengers to travel on an uninterrupted journey from Adderley Street to Camps Bay and back to Adderley Street.
The spectacular line from Kloof Nek to Camps Bay was on an unnamed track afterwards called Camps Bay Drive. This was intended exclusively for trams. It only became a public road for cars after 1930.
Early on, the route in the Cape Town area was altered*, so for most of its history the tram route was as set out below.
Starting in central Adderley Street, the trams proceeded up Wale Street and Buitengracht to the corner of Burnside Road. Here the line joined the Company’s own track up Kloof Nek Road and over Kloof Nek. Descending into Camps Bay, the terminus was in front of the Rotunda Hotel in Victoria Road.
Continuing back to Cape Town, one could either return the way one came or go on through Sea Point along Kloof Road which joined the Cape Town Tramway Company’s track on Main Road Sea Point at the junction of Regent Road.
At the Cape Town end, the trams proceeded down Somerset Road and Waterkant, turning briefly into Long Street and down Strand Street back to Adderley Street. Trams coming the other direction ran down Long Street to Strand Street and so to Adderley Street.
*Because of congestion on Kloof Street Cape Town, in 1905 the Cape Town Tramways built a new line in the Buitengracht from Wale Street to Burnside Road and from this time the Camps Bay trams used Buitengracht to reach Kloof Nek Road.
The Electrical Engineer magazine of 23 May 1902 describes some of the technical problems of the route as follows:-
Commencing at the Round Church, Sea Point (described elsewhere as a beautiful round, thatched Congregational Church chapel built in 1878 which was afterwards torn down by the Municipality), where connection is made with the Cape Tramway, the line commences on an easy ascent (on what is now called Kloof Road) but though gradual it has reached at the end of the first mile an altitude of nearly 300 feet and grades of 1 in 12 or 8.33 per cent have been encountered. Continuing southward, Upper Clifton is reached and at this point a magnificent view is obtained of Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles. Continuing in a scarcely perceptible descent, the line passes the Old Toll House (the site was at the junction of Victoria Drive and what is now Lower Kloof Road). At Camps Bay the track leaves the roadway and continues its course over land purchased by the (tramway) company. Some three quarters of a mile distant stands the power house (now Theatre on the Bay).
After passing the powerhouse the tramway leaves the existing roadway and is laid over the private estate of a local land company, following a new road way which has recently been made for the purpose, the most southerly point of the tramway is reached at (according to the journal) Oudekraal. Here the line diverges in a north easterly direction and after encountering the heaviest grades at the system the highest altitude is reached at Kloof Nek.
At this point, some 800 feet above sea level, there is obtained “one of the finest views in the Colony”.
To give some idea of the difficulties of construction, the journal observes that the average grade from Kloof Nek “to the terminus at Burnside Road, a distance of little more than 1.25 miles, is slightly steeper than 1 in 12. Severe though this may be, it is exceeded in other places, where grades of 1 in 9 are encountered for short distances.
The writer observed that the laying of the permanent way involved more than usual difficulties. It called for not only a considerable length of new roadway but more than 75 per cent of the existing roads had to be widened and graded. Blasting operations on a large scale were necessary. Besides making provision for carrying off the heavy rains by means of capacious drains and culverts, massive retaining walls had to be constructed consisting of dry stonework laid in courses. In places these were of exceptional strength, measuring from 6ft to 10 ft thick at the base and from 20 ft to 25 ft in height crossing the deep sluits of water-courses on the estate.
The magazine also gives considerable technical detail. The gauge of the tramway was 4 ft 8.5 ins, the same as the Cape Town tramways.
The complete magazine can be found at South African National Library in Queen Victoria Street where it can be read and photocopied but not taken out as this is a reference library only.
In “Track and Trackless” it is explained that because the main route was exceptionally steep and sharply curved, the usual overhead trolley system would have been impractical. An impossible number of poles and line fittings would have been required to keep the trolley wire above the centre of the track. Fortunately, a new type of swiveling trolley head had been invented which allowed the trolley pole to swing out while remaining fully engaged with the power supply cable.
The book also describes the exceptional braking system essential for tramcars travelling up and down such steep gradients.
Tramway Power Station
What is now Theatre on the Bay began its life as a power station and tram sheds. Its tall red chimney served as a barometer. Smoke veering seawards announced the South-Easter wind and fine weather. Smoke going towards the mountain meant the wintery North-Western.
Camps Bay residents could purchase unlimited amounts of electricity for 5 shillings a month: no meters. However, when the last tram came home around midnight, the engines were shut down and the lights went out.
The power station was closed in 1926 with the boilers being retained to heat the water for the swimming bath and power was supplied to Camps Bay from Cape Town.
The covered sea water swimming bath measuring 100 ft x 50 ft had been opened in 1904 opposite the power station. It was fitted with electric light and with water heated to 72 degrees. It was forced to close in April 1974 as the heating apparatus was inoperable and the building unsafe.
The site of the pool can be made out opposite the theatre – all the buildings were demolished in the early Sixties and the area is now a small park.
War Memorial
The park in which the war memorial stands is where ashes and clinkers from the furnaces of the power station used to be dumped.
Stone Cottages
Stone cottages for employees were built in Lower Geneva Drive – today they are one of the sites in Camps Bay protected from demolition or exterior alteration. There are
seven cottages, four of stone, three of brick.

Clouds moved in on Wednesday afternoon, making views of Crater Lake sparing, at best. I was a bit disappointed, as I really wanted to get another chance at a sunset shot from the north side of the lake. As I was driving back to camp, though, I came across this. With everyone else up on the rim looking at the lake, I got to enjoy this scene for 30 minutes or longer with not one other person around.

Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (26 August 1740 – 26 June 1810) and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (6 January 1745 – 2 August 1799) were the inventors of the montgolfière-style hot air balloon, globe aérostatique. The brothers succeeded in launching the first manned ascent, carrying Étienne into the sky. Later, in December 1783, in recognition of their achievement, their father Pierre was elevated to the nobility and the hereditary appellation of de Montgolfier by King Louis XVI of France.
Wasted and wounded, it aint what the moon did, Ive got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Im an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And Im tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks english, and everythings broken, and my stacys are soaking wet
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cabs parking
A lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old bushmills I staggered, you'd bury the dagger
In your silhouette window light go
To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
Now I lost my saint christopher now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
Youll go waltzing mathilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
They want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
And the old men in wheelchairs know
And mathilda is the defendant, she has killed about a hundred,
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,
You'll go waltzing mathilda with me
And its a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on an
Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
And goodnight to mathilda, too
waltzing mathilda, or, Tom Traubert's blues - Tom Waits

Another shot taken on a recent trip to Narooma on the NSW south coast.
A liitle bit about it.
Narooma is a town in the Australian state of New South Wales on the far south coast. The town is on the Princes Highway. The name is said to be derived from the Aboriginal word meaning ‘clear blue waters’. At the 2006 census, Narooma had a population of 3,100 people.[1]
Montague Island, a National Parks and Wildlife Reserve, is eight kilometers offshore from Narooma. The island was sighted off the coast by Captain Cook in 1770.
The heritage town of Central Tilba is nearby to the south.

La avefría europea (Vanellus vanellus) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Charadriidae. Es un ave muy fácil de ver en España de octubre a marzo, durante los meses más fríos, de donde deriva su nombre común.
Características
Es de colores vivos: vientre blanco, pecho negro y parte superior de las alas de color verdiazul. Además tiene un característico penacho en lo alto de la cabeza. Al volar se distingue por su batir de alas lento, semejante al de una mariposa. Visto desde abajo cuando vuela se distinguen dos franjas de color blanco y negro. Mide de 28 a 31 cm. de pico a cola.
Comportamiento
Gregaria, suele criar en grupos, en tierras de labranza y campos extensos. Conocida en algunos lugares de Castilla y León como francesina. También se la conoce como "pibi" por el característico sonido que emite.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.
QUE ENTRIN ELS CLOWNS
(Send in the clowns/A little night music)
Música i lletra: Stephen Sondheim
Oi que és bonic! Oi que fa goig,
quan finalment he aterrat, tu alces el vol...
Que entrin els clowns.
Que és divertit, és com un joc
tu que no saps on parar, jo que no em moc.
Però on són els clowns? Feu que entrin els clowns.
Ara que vinc per tornar amb tu
ara que veia que l'home que vull,...eres tu,
que faig entrada altra cop amb el meu bon estil,
segura de mi, no em queda res.
Quin desengany, qui hauria dit
que el senties per mi ara ho sento per tu.
Ara ho entenc, quan ja te n'has anat.
Feu que entrin els clowns.
Oi, que és bonic, oi que fa estrany
perdre't a la meva edat. No et sembla trist?
Però, on són els clowns, feu que entrin els clowns...
be,potser l´any vinent...

When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.
It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.
The heroic rescue of the ship's crew
When the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. Down the ramp to her aid went the Burnham lifeboat, the John Godfrey Morris which had been on station at the town for the last ten years.
Launched down the rails on the jetty, the lifeboat with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands.
The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.
Wreck remains there today
After the rescue, the sea pounded and smashed the ship and although attempts were made to lighten and refloat her, she was finally sold as a wreck.
Today, when the tide goes out, children play amid the timbers of the ship wreck, which lies just north of St Mary's Parish Church at Berrow, just south of Brean.
But when the wind blows and the big seas start to roll in, it doesn't take much imagination to see again that gallant rescue of not so long ago.
Acuarela-Mujer ( picasso en mis ojos / Diego "el cigala")
pinta,,mata ,rie,llora,,vive,
toca los albores de mi boca,
llename con aquarelas locas
llevame a la forma que me sigue
me desprendo de mi sol
mi infierno de quimeras
me desprendo de mi sol
porque para una vez quisiera
la acuarela que es el pozo
del color de los poetas
pinta,,mata ,rie,llora,,vive,
toca los albores de mi boca,
llename con aquarelas locas
llevame la forma que me sigue
y cual es el color de la pena
si el blanco se siente vacio
y cual el color de mi condena
si el hombre se mece en el rio
el cante que brilla largo
las dos cazarras cantando
pinceles que pintan amargos
los cantantes vienen, que vienen
que vienen,encima pintando

Historical plaque near the convergence of Bay Street and Davenport Road, just south of Jesse Ketchum Public School. Toronto, Canada. Summer evening, 2022. Pentax K1 II.
A biography of Jesse Ketchum from: www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=4519
KETCHUM, JESSE, tanner, politician, and philanthropist; b. 31 March 1782 at Spencertown, Columbia County, N.Y., fifth son of Jesse Ketchum and Mollie Robbins; m. first Ann Love (d. 1829), by whom he had three sons and three daughters, and secondly Mary Ann Rubergall, by whom he had three children; d. 7 Sept. 1867 at Buffalo, N.Y.
Following the death of his mother when he was six years old, Jesse Ketchum was taken into the home of a tanner in Spencertown where he probably learned the tanning trade. Unhappy in his foster home because his efforts to attend school were frustrated, Ketchum ran away at the age of 17 to join his brother, Seneca*, who had come to Upper Canada in 1796 and was farming on Yonge St north of York (Toronto).
On the outbreak of the War of 1812 some recent arrivals from the United States left Upper Canada rather than serve in the militia or swear allegiance to the crown. One such individual, John Van Zandt, an American tanner at York, was obliged to dispose of his property at once, and no doubt at a sacrifice. Ketchum was the purchaser. Like other merchants, he profited greatly from the wartime demand for supplies for the troops. A shrewd businessman, Ketchum invested his profits in town property in York, and also bought and sold farms in the county of York.
At the beginning of the war Ketchum joined the 3rd Regiment of York militia, and was among those paroled after the capitulation of York to the Americans in 1813. Nevertheless, his loyalty came under suspicion during the brief American occupation, and he was one of those whom Attorney General John Beverley Robinson was subsequently directed to have arrested and tried if, upon inquiry, that action seemed justified. No arrest occurred, but the episode no doubt had a lasting effect upon Ketchum.
Ketchum was a public spirited and generous man. He subscribed to the rebuilding of the Don bridges after the war; he became a member of the Society for the Relief of Strangers in Distress (renamed the Society for the Relief of the Sick and Destitute in 1828); and he was on the board of health. After the passage in 1816 of the Common Schools Act, which provided legislative support for administrative costs but not for the erection of school buildings, Ketchum subscribed to the building fund of the first common school in York. It was completed in 1818, and he was elected by the townspeople to its board of trustees. In 1832 he provided at his own expense for an infant school for children under seven.
Ketchum first became opposed to the Family Compact and sympathetic to the radical party in 1820 as a result of John Strachan’s involvement with the common school of York; Strachan persuaded Lieutenant Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland* to withhold funds for the school, and, when the elected trustees resigned, was successful in replacing their choice of teacher, Thomas Appleton, with his own Anglican nominee, Joseph Spragg*. A second factor was the clergy reserves question. Although a Methodist himself, Ketchum was no narrow sectarian. He attended St James’ Anglican Church when it was the only church in York, and, with gifts of land and money, he helped to establish a Methodist chapel in 1818, as well as a secessionist Presbyterian church (later Knox Presbyterian Church) in 1820. He taught Sunday school in the Methodist church and took a keen interest in Sunday schools of all denominations. In 1823 he founded the York Sunday School Union to establish libraries for children attending these institutions. This broad-minded man was chosen chairman of a public meeting called in December 1827 to protest against Strachan’s famous “Ecclesiastical Chart” and his efforts to secure the clergy reserves wholly for the Church of England. Ketchum’s name headed the list of those from the Home District who, in 1828, petitioned for a liberalization of the charter of King’s College. In 1831 another petition was drawn up by Ketchum and Egerton Ryerson* and signed by “Friends of Religious Liberty,” asking the imperial parliament to place all denominations in the province on a footing of equality and to appropriate the clergy reserves to general education and public works.
By 1828 Ketchum had become well known as an opponent of the Family Compact. In that year the county of York elected him and William Lyon Mackenzie to the assembly. Ketchum held his seat until 1834, when he declined to run again, disliking the hurly-burly of politics. During these years he had so much influence with Reformers, supported them so fully, and worked so closely with Mackenzie for constitutional and other reforms that his opponents called him “King Jesse” and Mackenzie “King Jesse’s jackal.” Ketchum opposed the expulsions of Mackenzie from the assembly, did his best to have him reinstated, and in the process suffered in the York riots of 1832.
Ketchum’s withdrawal from political life in 1834 did not mean withdrawal from public affairs. He helped to organize the Canadian Alliance Society, founded in December 1834 to further the demand for reform, and he was an active member of the society’s vigilance committee which collected much of the material Mackenzie included in The seventh report . . . on grievances (1835). When in 1836 Sir Francis Bond Head* dismissed the Executive Council and replied rudely to delegates presenting a petition of public protest, Ketchum helped to draw up the indignant and sarcastic response of the Reformers, and he and James Lesslie* were delegated to deliver it to the lieutenant governor. Ketchum continued to hope to secure reforms by peaceful means, though talk of rebellion began in 1837. He did not attend the meeting of Reformers at John Doel*’s brewery on 31 July 1837, because he knew that Mackenzie would propose a coup d’état. He refused to sign the resulting declaration of Toronto Reformers, broke with his former political associates, and took no part in the rebellion.
Soon after the rebellion Ketchum, though he remained in Toronto, moved his tannery to the outskirts of Buffalo, a location which gave his business wider prospects and which provided security for his son, William, who had fled Upper Canada in the aftermath of the rebellion. Moreover, the Toronto site had now grown too valuable for use as a tannery. Ketchum invested his profits from the Buffalo tannery in nearby farm lands which, as the city expanded, became very valuable. He had many interests to keep him in Toronto, including large real estate activities. In 1845, however, he decided to turn over his property in Toronto to the children of his first marriage and, with his second family, move to Buffalo where his extensive real estate developments now required his presence.
In Ketchum Toronto lost a generous citizen who had given building lots to his employees and who, before leaving for Buffalo, secured employment for them. He was vice-president of the York Temperance Society, founded in 1830, and built two halls for the society’s meetings. He was a founder of the Upper Canada Bible Society in 1828, and of the Upper Canada Tract Society established in 1832. He also endowed these societies with funds to enable them to present prize books annually to school children and to the Sunday schools. He was a founder, in 1830, of the Home District Savings Bank which served the town’s working class, and two years later helped to organize the York Mechanics’ Institute. In Buffalo Ketchum continued his benevolences to churches, schools, and temperance societies and he made annual gifts of books to the school children. He died in 1867. On the day of his funeral the schools of the city were closed in his honour.
This is a detail (re-arranged by me) of the original by Chicago artist, John Bakker, in a solo exhibition of his recent work (in the Hansen Gallery, Wheaton College, Illinois, Feb-March 2010), that invites audience engagement, and, if desired, re-arrangement, and thus reinterpretation.
Bakker, discovering that he is only the first interpreter of his own work, has thus taken a further step than is normative, by intentionally inviting his audience to engage with, and, if desired, re-arrange, and thus reinterpret his work.

The work, of which this is a detail, is itself based on Albrecht Durer's 1525 woodcut of a man demonstrating one means of perspective drawing, of a recumbent nude woman, as seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/59118828@N00/4373770841/
Langs de richting Sevanpas (2114m) komt men aan het standbeeld van een jonge Armeense vrouw. Hier wordt het Armeense kloostereiland Aghtamar in het Van-meer in Turkije in herinnering gebracht door het uitbeelden van de daaraan verbonden legende:
Her verhaal van onze gids:
Een jongeman werd verliefd op de mooie Tamar die woonde op het Van-meer. Om haar geliefde de weg naar het meer te wijzen, ontstak de jonge vrouw iedere avond een vuurke op de oever van het meer. Op zekere avond werd het vuur gedoofd door jaloerse jongelingen. De verliefde jongeling verloor zijn oriëntatie en verdronk terwijl hij uitriep "Ach Tamar", vandaar de naam van het eiland: Ahgtamar

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akdamar_Island
Een gelijkaardig verhaal:
Tamar, de vrouwe van het meer, loodste reizigers veilig over het meer met haar fakkel. Ze was echter niet in staat, haar geliefde, die haar elke dag bezocht, van de verdrinkingsdood te redden toen zijn boot tijdens een storm kapseisde.. Een jaloerse man had rondom het meer vuren aangelegd, waardoor hij ook de weg kwijt was.. Terwijl hij verdronk riep hij de woorden Ach Tamar. Tamar door het verdriet overmand, stierf kort hierna. Sinds die tijd heet het eiland Aghtamar.

Help! What does one do with excess candy canes?
Since I was tagged by kirs, here's some random facts about me.
1. I check flickr as much as I check twitter and email. Which is like majority of the day!
2. Before getting a DSLR, I had ~50 GB of pics! I have a ton of film too! o_O
3. See kirs' number 6. Love taking pics, but not of me! Unless in a group or in a photo shoot like this one from tenchiboyx's photo stream.
4. See kirs' number 9. :P I too, am obsessed with puzzles, i.e. Rubik's Cubes. See this cube for instance.
5. I get bored easily. Like, really easily. I can be the most busiest person in the world, yet still be bored at the same time. It's analogous to being lonely in a group of 100's of people.
6. I volunteer my time as an event planner at several venues (trade show/convention/festival). Director for 2 of them, Manager for 1, and a point of contact for a city festival.
7. On top of event planning, I intend on going to Los Angeles and Las Vegas several times, Chicago, Hong Kong, Macau, and several other places all in 2010.
8. I honestly have no idea how I'll afford number 7, along with photography. :P
9. I wish to make more friends in Europe/Asia so I have people to talk to when I'm up :)
10. I still have candy canes to give out. :(
Hmmm... who to tag, who to tag....
(Yes, you have to do it again for the nth time! Your random facts are so amusing! XD)
And... anyone on twitter that is discreetly looking at my photos when I tweet about them! At least tell me if you have a photo stream! :P

02/01/09 Riomaggiore (SP) - Italy -
The "Via dell'Amore" (Pathway of Love) is a pathway linking Riomaggiore to Manarola and is probably one of the most famous and renowned touristic routes of "Le Cinque Terre". There's a very impressive panoramic view on the cliffs. At the end of the path, it is covered with a gallery of arches, wihich is an art gallery indeed, all covered with paintings and murales (freely made by tourists).
