A HOT DAY IN TUCSON:

 

To escape the heat of 110+ degrees in the valley in Tucson, Arizona, on June 17, 2007 we drove up to the nearly 8,000 ft. elevation of Mount Lemon, where the temperature plumeted to 78 in the 40 minutes it took to drive to the top. This is a photo I took at Windy Vista Point about halfway up the mountain. You can see the road we traveled up through the mountains, and in the far distance the city of Tucson. It was a spectacular view at Windy Vista Point for we could see the city of Tucson sprawled out in the valley below, and the mountains of Sonora, Mexico in the far distance.

 

I lived south of Tucson from 1984 until 1999 (in Green Valley, Amado and Sahuarita) and worked in Nogales and Tucson for several years before moving to Washington DC. This photo was taken on my the first trip back to Tucson in over 8 years... it sure was sure nice to see the "old pueblo" again and the beauty of the desert, mountains and wide open spaces of the beautiful State of Arizona.

 

INFORMATION ON MOUNT LEMMON:

 

Mount Lemmon is in the Santa Catalina Mountains located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, AZ. It is 9,157 feet above sea-level, and receives approximately 180 inches of snow annually. Mount Lemmon was named in honor of Sarah Lemmon, wife of botanist John Gill Lemmon, who trekked to the top of the mountain with her husband in 1881.

 

A small town called Summerhaven is on the mountain, which includes many cabins only occupied part of the year. Much of this town was devastated by the Aspen Fire of 2003, and recovery is still taking place. It is near Ski Valley which is the southernmost ski destination in the continental United States.

 

The location 'Windy Point' was built by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, using a large number of prisoners over a period of 18 years.

 

The Catalina Highway goes from the east side of Tucson up to Summerhaven, at the top of Mt. Lemmon. The beautiful, curving road is a favorite drive for tourists, for locals escaping summer's heat, for motorcyclists, and cyclists. The highway has been improved recently, but the speed limit has also been lowered to 35 MPH (56 km/h) due to concerns about the highway's safety during peak traffic times.

"La solitude est une condition nécessaire de la liberté" 2005.

Exposition "Portrait au Palazzo Madama" de Turin, une série de portraits, de portraits vidéo que l'on sent palpiter sous notre regard, portraits disséminés au milieu des tableaux et des oeuvres permanentes du musée. Une découverte amusante et parfois impressionnante comme la succession de plusieurs expressions dont j'ai fait un collage... plus ou moins réussi... Trois expressions de Gao Xingjian, prix Nobel de la littérature en 2000 pour son oeuvre fascinante, oeuvre d'un peintre, d'un poète et d'un philosophe. En particulier "La Montagne de l'âme", roman complet de la "sinitude" retrouvée, tour à tour autobiographique, récit picaresque ou burlesque, introspection, reflet critique de la réalité, poème lyrique..., la Montagne de l'âme est le grand roman asiatique de la fin du XXème siècle.

 

J'ai eu l'occasion de le rencontrer lors du festival de littérature (Letteraltura) qui a lieu tous les ans, fin juin, à Verbania. J'ai surtout pu échanger avec lui une conversation, et conserver ainsi la beauté et la force intérieures de cet homme que j'ai trouvé Grandissime malgré sa petite taille... Un moment inoubliable.

 

(L'auteur de ces portraits vidéo est Robert Wilson, qui a défini ses portraits comme des "fenêtres ouvertes sur un autre monde", résultat d'une perfection technologique, mélange de lumières et de couleurs, de respirations que l'on perçoit, tout comme des battements de cils ou de paupières qui s'entrouvrent, etc).

Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)

In late summer the brilliant scarlet of Cardinal Flower flashes from the marshes, stream banks and low woods. Called "America's favorite" and "spectacular", its extremely showy blossoms can be recognized at considerable distance. Few native plants have flowers of such intense color as this common herbaceous perennial.

The blossoms are delicate, gradually opening from bottom to top on two to four foot spikes. Five petals are united into a scarlet two-lipped corolla. The lower lip has three very prominent lobes; the upper lip has two small ones. Five stamens are joined forming a red tube around the style and are topped by bearded anthers which form a mustache-looking brush.

 

Beneath the flower spikes are numerous dark green leaves, tapered at both ends. A moderately tall plant, stout and erect, it is the favorite of our ruby-throated hummingbird, who obliges as a pollinator. The many seeds come in two-celled pods which open at the top.

 

Cardinal flowers can be grown in full sun or very light shade but probably grow best in filtered light. Mulch to keep the roots moist. Seeds planted in the summer form rosettes of foliage which stay green through the mild winter of the South. Be careful to keep leaves and debris from smothering these rosettes.

 

Beautiful but deadly, this plant has been used as a medicine but is also very poisonous. It contains fourteen alkaloids similar to those in nicotine. Extracts of the leaves and fruit produce vomiting, sweating, pain and finally death.

 

The Cardinal Flower is a member of the Bluebell Family, Campanulaceae. It was named after the Flemish botanist, Matthias de L'Obel (1538-1616).

From Wikipedia:

Lobelia cardinalis, the Cardinal Flower, is a perennial that grows 2-4 feet tall and is found in wet places, streambanks, and swamps. Leaves are lanceolate to oval and toothed. The plant flowers during the summer, with vibrant red blooms cited by Roger Tory Peterson as "America's favorite". A white form is also known. Discovered in Canada by explorers, it was sent back to France in the mid 1620s. The name Cardinal flower was in use by 1629, likely due to the similarity of the flower's colour to the miters of Roman Catholic Cardinals [1]. It can be found in North America from New Brunswick, to Florida to Texas to Minnesota, though it is most concentrated in Southern Ontario, New Brunswick, Michigan, and Minnesota[2][3]

North American indigenous peoples used root tea for a number of intestinal ailments and syphilis. Leaf teas were used by them for bronchial problems and colds, inter alia. The Meskwaki people used it as part of an inhalant against catarrh. Although related to tobacco, it was apparently not smoked, but may have been chewed. [4] The plant contains a number of alkaloids. As a member of the genus Lobelia, it is considered to be potentially toxic.[2]

Lobelia cardinalis is related to two other wildflowering plants common to the Eastern United States: Indian Tobacco and Great Lobelia, all of which display the characteristic "lip" petal near the opening of the flower and the "milky" liquid the plant excretes. It has been known to cause an upset in the digestive system when consumed.

OpenCV, simpleCV etc are very useful libraries for toying around with images. You can get interesting results without a lot of effort. But the more serious you get about image recognition, the more you find that you can't use them globally across the image. Finding the yellow car in the parking spot is a good example of the usefulness of the library and also its simplistic capabilities. It recognized a yellow patch in the image and it doesn't recognize a car in a general way.

From My Blog

 

I have only a couple of weeks left here in Japan and kept realizing that there were quite a few shots that I did not have due to my short notice move to Turkey before last summer. Now that I am back, I now have only a few weekends left before leaving Japan for good. We basically only had this last weekend as our only time when we don’t have something planned and getting a good shot of Fuji was one of “those shots” I was missing out on. So we threw our sleeping bags into our small little Toyota Starlet to camp out on Friday night for a 4am viewing of Fuji across Lake Motosu as long as our luck way for clear viewing conditions.

 

Two people sleeping in a Toyota Starlet goes against the grain of the universe and I would never recommend anyone ever try that. On top of not being able to sleep in 3 cubic feet worth of space, I also omitted my allergy meds, and allergies in Japan kick my ass. Luckily the weather cooperated and we had our first clear skies in what seemed like weeks. Not only did we get an awesome viewing at Lake Motosu, but we were also able to get some nice warm light paint on Fuji across nearby Lake Saiko.

My return home from Pennsylvania required a stopover in Phoenix, Arizona. Remind me to never fly so far south when flying across the country -- going from Pittsburgh to San Francisco by way of a city near the Mexican border doesn't do anything to shorten your travel time.

 

On the flight from Phoenix to the Bay Area, I sat next to the most nervous flyer I've ever encountered. On the ground, she was friendly, conversational, ordinary. In the air, she was wild-eyed and terrified. When the plane hit turbulence, she'd cower into the wall next to her window seat. Sometimes she'd flail her arms or cover her face. Her hands shook. I'd never been around someone who was feeling such primal terror.

 

The weather was stormy in the Bay Area, and the landing approach was rough. Her convulsions reached a frenzy, and she turned to me and apologized. I put my hand on her arm. "It's okay. Just remember: this is safer than the car you're getting into when you land. It's the safest way to travel."

 

"I know. I'm trying." Then she looked at me. "My sister and her husband were killed in a plane crash."

 

Oh.

 

Nothing refutes statistics like experience. All I could do was sympathize and share a similar story. I'm not sure it helped, but at least we were on the ground by the time I was done.

 

Incredibly, my fearful flyer has to face her terror every two weeks. She likes to sit in the front of the plane, where she can watch the flight attendants when they're strapped into their takeoff and landing seats. "If they look nervous, then I know something's really wrong."

 

Every two weeks she faces the worst demons in her world. She stares down the scars of the past in order to make her way. I guess you can't ask more than that of anyone.

 

It's good to be home.

I was shooting Gina in a halter top and had the idea of throwing this on top of her. I love this shawl....lol I have used it in many different ways and I keep finding new ways to use it.

 

I wanted to shoot Gina as a beautiful and sexy woman but, with class!! I am tired of seeing glamour photography that shows the model in the wrong light.

 

Please do not ask and/or invite any of these images to a group where nudity is displayed.

The portico is sculpted in polished alabaster, following the designs of Yáñez de la Almedina (like in the door frames of the high altarpiece and in the organ furniture). It is one of the first and best examples of the Roman or Spanish renaissance style (around 1500)

 

The lower arches are noteworthy, as well as the composition of pilasters and arches, leant on the columns and entablature, bas-reliefs with vertical motifs and a rich variety of eagles, roses and plants.

 

The high-relief of alabaster depicting the Resurrection of the Lord is made by Gregorio de Biguerny. It was placed in that place in early 16th century. It still keeps remains of the polychrome and of the gilding that decorated the original appearance.

 

Retro choir

 

Reconstructed in the 18th century though it keeps elements from the original one. It is a monument to the Holy Eucharist.

 

Relic of St.Vincent the Martyr

 

St. Vincent, deacon of Saragossa, was tortured

in Valencia during the persecution of Diocletian in 304. His worship spread across the Church rapidly and was considered one of the main representative saints of Spain.

 

Towards 1104, the Bishop of Valencia of the time went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and carried with him the left arm mummified of St. Vincent. As this ecclesiastic died suddenly in Bari (Italy), the relic was left there and was being passed on up to being in possession of Mr. Pietro Zampieri from Vigonovo (Venice). In 1970 he gave it to the Cathedral together with the bronze reliquary made in a Venecian style.

The small sparrows strained themselves by the grate, they pecked the food of the parrots, and fled quickly.

 

Los pequeños gorriones se colaban por la reja, picoteaban la comida de los loros, y huían veloces.

 

ENGLISH

The White-fronted Amazon, Amazona albifrons also known as White-fronted Parrot, or adopted slang term Spectacled Amazon Parrot is a Central American species of parrot. Not to be confused with the Red-spectacled Amazon Parrot.

 

The White-fronted Amazon is relatively small when compared to other Amazons. At maturity this species will grow to a typical length of only nine to ten inches. This species is named for the bright white patch of feathers which is seen on their foreheads, although the amount of white varies from individual to individual. They have green plumage throughout, red coloring around their eyes (in some individuals almost like a mask) and blue coloring on their outspread wings and behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Unlike other amazon species, males and females can be distinguished by appearance (sexual dimorphism): males have bright red feathers on their shoulders (alula), while females have green shoulders. The species is divided into three subspecies, differentiated by slight colour differences: the White-fronted Amazon (A. a. albifrons), the Lesser White-fronted Amazon (A. a. nana) and the Sonora White-fronted Amazon (A. a. saltuensis). Like other large parrots, the White-fronted Parrot has a long life span, usually around 40 years when properly cared for. They also can imitate a range from 30 to 40 different sounds.

--------------------------------

 

CASTELLANO

El loro frente blanca, frentiblanco, amazona frente blanca o cotorra (Amazona albifrons) es una especie de loro endémico de América Central.

 

A pesar de que el loro frente blanca tiene un tamaño promedio cuando se le compara al resto de los loros, es relativamente más pequeño cuando se le compara a otros pertenecientes al género Amazona. Esta especie se desarrolla hasta alcanzar, en la madurez, una talla típica de solo 22 a 25 cm. Recibe su nombre por la mancha blanca brillante que se le observa en la frente, a pesar de que la cantidad de blanco varía de un individuo a otro. Tienen plumaje verde en todo el cuerpo, con un anillo rojo alrededor de los ojos (en algunos individuos forma casi una “máscara”) y plumas azules visibles al desplegar las alas y detrás de la mancha blanca de la frente.

 

A diferencia de otras especies de amazonas, existe dimorfismo sexual (machos y hembras pueden ser diferenciados a simple vista): Los machos presentan plumas color rojo brillante en la alula, mientras que las hembras no la poseen o se distingue muy poco. Esta especie se divide en tres subespecies diferenciadas por cambios menores de color: el loro frente blanca (A. a. albifrons), El loro frente blanca menor (A. a. nana) y el loro frente blanca de Sonora (A. a. saltuensis). Como la mayoría de los loros mayores, el loro frente blanca tiene un período de vida bastante largo, comúnmente alrededor de 50 años o mas.

I’ve lost them.

 

I was away for 3 weeks and returned to a shell that left nary a sign of its past existence.

 

Only 3 weeks ago, I was standing in the living/bedroom with an old woman while she watched television from her couch. I had walked up to the second floor with a low attic where the son slept, that had a narrow window looking out to towering corporate buildings.

 

I planned to return with photos for them and inquire more about their new home that supposedly had new toilets and better electricity fixtures.

 

But I took for granted that they would be there when I returned. After all, they did say that they were holding out to the end when the place would be flattened in December.

Bit more of a close up of the fort at Port Sultan Qaboos.. (Mutrah part of Muscat in Oman)

 

From AI -

The forts surrounding Port Sultan Qaboos in Muscat, Oman, primarily Al-Jalali and Al-Mirani, were built by the Portuguese in the late 16th century to defend the strategic harbor. They were constructed following an Ottoman raid on the city, aiming to secure Portuguese rule. Al-Jalali, also known as Ash Sharqiya fort, sits on rocks overlooking the harbor and was formerly used as a prison before being restored into a museum, according to KLM United Kingdom. Mutrah Fort, located in the harbor area, was built by the Portuguese in the 1580s and served as a defensive structure against the Ottoman army.

Article by: Dr. Augusto V. de Viana

 

In facing his critics, RM harbored no ill feelings toward them. One of his most bitter

critics was Congressman Mario Bengzon who had the habit of hitting the President

on the floor of Congress. When Magsaysay met Benzon face to face during a

social function, the President embraced him and told him that he is doing a great

job in Congress. RM.s gesture so disarmed the Congressman that he never spoke

against the President again.

 

As the highest official of the land, Magsaysay was dedicated to the reform

of the government and its machinery. Otherwise he feared that the people would be

driven to the arms of the communists who were promising heaven on earth. Even

when he was Secretary of Defense he dismissed outright military personnel who

were remiss in their duties. In one of his midnight inspection trips he personally

surprised a sleepy sergeant guarding an ammunition dump in Central Luzon and

outrightly dismissed the commanding of!cer. As President he !red people whom

he perceived as corrupt. He never hesitated to punish the guilty public of!cial,

no matter if he was a relative or a friend. He was also tough on his relatives and

supporters did not want the people to think that their closeness to him would give

them favors.

 

Magsaysay canceled a contract entered into by his uncle, Ambrosio

Magsaysay, to supply coal to the Cebu Portland Co. although his predecessor had

approved the documents. RM withdrew approval of a trip to Europe by his brotherin-

law, Aurelio Bengzon, and instructed his cabinet secretaries not to permit any

of his relatives to go abroad on of!cial missions. RM dismissed his Executive

Secretary, Fred Ruiz Castro, for approving the hiring of a nephew-in-law, Feliciano

de la Gala, in Washington, D.C. as a casual employee, even Mrs. Magsaysay

requested for it. He also dismissed Gregorio Lecaros of the Central Bank for

soliciting donations to the Christmas festival held annually at Malacañang.

 

Magsaysay forbade his younger brother Gene to run as a political candidate

and barred the entry of 2,000 Chinese immigrants because three senators lobbied

for it. He withdrew approval by Col. Osmundo Mondoñedo for the exchange of

!rst-class Philippine rice for an imported foreign brand. He told his friend Joseph

Arcache that he could not approve the re"oating of a Japanese submarine for

scrap iron because the businessman had offered half of his pro!ts in the deal.

 

On March 15, two days before his tragic death one of RM.s cousins,

newsman Vicente del Fierro, came to the President.s bedroom and asked him

to donate a band for the district !esta of Project 4 (Quezon City). The President

asked if it was necessary to donate a band. His cousin replied that Sen. Claro M.

Recto who was eyeing the presidency that year had already donated one. The

President laughed saying .Never mind. If the election was to be decided by a

band, let Recto win.. Del Fierro left the bedroom without getting anything.

 

When RM.s family left Malacañang a week after his death, all that was

left of his paycheck was P650. When asked why so little was left of RM.s pay,

Mrs. Magsaysay explained that this was the average (sometimes P1,000) that she

received from the President.s monthly salary because all their family expenses

were deducted from it from the very !rst day he assumed the presidency.

 

In fact she said, .he even instructed the Palace kitchen to deduct from his

salary the cost of food consumed when our children brought their classmates in

for lunch or merienda.

 

The Magsaysay administration was so spotlessly transparent that the

gaffes attributed to him and circulated apparently to "aunt his ill mastery of English

must have been launched by the spurned lobbyists who saw no other way to get

back at him than to poke fun at his shortcoming.

Raccoon ~ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~The raccoon (Listeni/ræˈkuːn/, Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in) and a body weight of 3.5 to 9 kg (8 to 20 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates against cold weather. Two of the raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask, which are themes in the mythology of several Native American tribes. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks for up to three years. The diet of the omnivorous raccoon, which is usually nocturnal, consists of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods, and 27% vertebrates.

 

The original habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, raccoons are now also distributed across the European mainland, the Caucasus region and Japan.

 

Though previously thought to be solitary, there is now evidence that raccoons engage in gender-specific social behavior. Related females often share a common area, while unrelated males live together in groups of up to four animals to maintain their positions against foreign males during the mating season, and other potential invaders. Home range sizes vary anywhere from 3 hectares (7 acres) for females in cities to 50 km2 (20 sq mi) for males in prairies. After a gestation period of about 65 days, two to five young, known as "kits", are born in spring. The kits are subsequently raised by their mother until dispersal in late fall. Although captive raccoons have been known to live over 20 years, their average life expectancy in the wild is only 1.8 to 3.1 years. In many areas, hunting and vehicular injury are the two most common causes of death.

Remember my previous picture of the little ECC88 Valve?

Well here's the wee beastie that it belongs to and she's a beauty :-)

 

This is a 1969/1970 Telequipment S51 Oscilloscope proudly bearing a small metal plate simply stating, "Made In England". Most of the components in there bear similar motifs as well as 'Made in Great Britain' and fair old chokes me up that we used to build such marvels. Not anymore....

 

This example I bought as a non-worker and after some scrounging about, (without paying through the nose!), I obtained some replacement valves for her and spent some time tidying up historic fiddles, (others previous attempts at repair!)

After a bit of a clean up and final checks I hooked her up to the mains and she finally sprung to life. I stood there with the biggest grin on my face ever :-)

 

Total cost of purchase and replacment parts - a massive £12:50, very nice.

(Considering there's 5 Mullard valves and a couple of Brimars I did rather well as most 'audiophiles' pay more than that for a single valve!!! Doesn't bear thinking about?!)

 

Will she languish on a shelf as a 'collectable'? Of course not, she's a good old workhorse and I'll soon be cracking that whip. An addition of a component tester I've already started to build, (makes my DIY electronics from scrap parts much simpler - the amount of times I've scrounged a part from a broken piece of equipment to find the scrounged component was one of the faulty ones!!), and plans for a curve tracer she'll be pressed into hard service. Of course an infra red interface will come in damn handy for checking and adjusting the shutter speeds on my old cameras too.

 

Much like those valves I get a warm fuzzy feeling that she's working. Unfortunately I'm as old as this piece of equipment and probably smell just as musty, (Ha, ha!)

ENGLISH

Solanum dulcamara, also known as bittersweet, bittersweet nightshade, bitter nightshade, blue bindweed, climbing nightshade, fellenwort, felonwood, poisonberry, poisonflower, scarlet berry, snakeberry, trailing bittersweet, trailing nightshade, violet bloom, or woody nightshade, is a species of vine in the potato genus Solanum, family Solanaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia, and widely naturalised elsewhere, including North America, where it is an invasive problem weed. It occurs in a very wide range of habitats, from woodlands to scrubland, hedges and marshes. It is an invasive species in the Great Lakes region and was first spotted in 1843.

 

Bittersweet is a semi-woody herbaceous perennial vine, which scrambles over other plants, capable of reaching a height of 4 m where suitable support is available, but more often 1-2 m high. The leaves are 4-12 cm long, roughly arrowhead-shaped, and often lobed at the base. The flowers are in loose clusters of 3-20, (1-1.5 cm) across, star-shaped, with five purple petals and yellow stamens and style pointing forward. The fruit is an ovoid red berry about 1 cm long, soft and juicy, poisonous to humans and livestock but edible for birds, which disperse the seeds widely. As with most Solanum species, the foliage is also poisonous to humans.

 

Bittersweet is used in naturopathy and herbalism. Its main usage is for conditions that have an impact on the skin, mucous membrane and the membrane (synovial membrane) around the joints. Bittersweet is considered by some to be a herbal remedy for treating herpes and allergies.

 

Although fatal human poisonings are rare, several cases have been documented. The poison is believed to be solanine.

 

Other common names for Solanum dulcamara include trailing nightshade, bittersweet, trailing bittersweet, climbing nightshade, blue bindweed, bitter nightshade, fellenwort, dogwood, woody nightshade, poisonflower, poisonberry, snakeberry, and scarlet berry.

CASTELLANO

Dulcamara es una planta trepadora del género Solanum. Es nativa de Europa y Asia, extendiéndose por todo el mundo, en Norteamérica esta considerada un problema por ser una hierba invasora. Se desarrolla en todo tipo de terrenos.

 

La dulcamara es una planta herbácea perenne capaz de alcanzar los 4 metros de altura, aunque la mayoría no llega a los 2 m. Las hojas son de 4-12 cm de largo en punta de flecha y lobuladas. Las flores están en racimos de 3 a 20 y están formadas por cinco pétalos púrpura y estambres amarillos. La fruta es una baya roja ovoide, venenosa para los humanos y el ganado pero comestible para los pájaros que dispersan sus semillas. El follaje es también venenoso para los seres humanos.

 

La Dulcamara se utiliza como planta medicinal para afecciones de la piel y alergias del Herpes.

 

El botánico francés Gastón Bonnier, quién conoció la planta en Manaos-Brasil y en el alto Amazonas, al llegar a Paris, cura a muchas personas que padecían un número de enfermedades. Los misioneros salesianos le dieron el nombre de dulcamara ya que en latín significa “agridulce”, también se la conoce como hoja de la vida.

 

El tallo o la raíz es la utilizada para las infusiones, las hojas se las digiere puras, no se las puede poner en agua caliente porque le quita todo el valor curativo.

 

En tintura madre, el extracto total de dulcamara es empleado en fitomedicina para el tratamiento de las alergias; sola o asociada a otras plantas. Debe cuidarse la dosis para no acarrear toxicidad.

"Traffic on Charoen Mueang road (taken in 1971)"

 

From: library.cmu.ac.th/ntic/en_picturelanna/detail_picturelann...

 

"San Pa Khoi area is an area situated opposite to Wat Gate area and with Charoen Mueang road in the middle. Before the arrival of railway to Chiang Mai, this San Pa Khoi area was a small community. The first community to settle here was the Ban-tha-sa-toy community (see detail of Tha-sa-toy community) at the back of the present San Pa Khoi market.

 

With the arrival of railway to Chiang Mai, a lot of Chinese from Bangkok moved into the area to make a living. This resulted in the area becoming an important business center in the city. Shops lay on both sides of Charoen Mueang road making it the center for sending goods to Bangkok. The agricultural products from the surrounding areas of Chiang Mai were rice, pig, tobacco and sealing wax. The community was also the site for distributing goods from Bangkok to other markets around Chiang Mai and upper Chiang Mai. One native of Chiang Mai mentioned that at that time San Pa Khoi area was filled with warehouses for transporting goods to other areas and it was always busy with buyers and ox carts which could be hired to haul goods. The majority of businesses was owned by Chinese business men, like Mr. Song Sae-ung (Ungkhapairoj). He remembers that he rode the train to buy salt, sugar and shrimp paste from Bangkok to be sold at his shop. Merchants from Lam-yai market and other surrounding markets would come to purchase his goods. Khun Anukornburee (an ancestor of Nimakorn family) started Leochunlee shop by selling bicycles shipped from Bangkok by rail.

 

The important center of this area was Kad-San Pa Khoi (San Pa Khoi market). There are no documents of when this market was established. However, it was believed that it might have been before 1926 because when King Rama VII visited Chiang Mai, the market already existed. There is evidence showing that there was a joint investment between Pra Pijitosod, Khun Anupolnakorn and Major General Anirutteawa (ML Feun Puengboon). At present, this San Pa Khoi market is a market which is well-known for delicious food, especially Chinese. There are shops on both sides of Charoen Mueang road. The famous Salapao Wikul (Chinese steamed bun) and Charoen Mueang restaurant can also be found here.

The center for Buddhists in this area is San Pa Khoi temple. It is situated at the side of San Pa Khoi market. Originally, its name was Wat Nang Leo and was located on the Ping river bank. But when the temple was flooded, it was moved to the present site. Thus, it was called Wat San Pa Khoi after the name of the area. There is evidence showing that the chedi in this temple was built in the era of Prachao Kawilowrojsuriyawongse and the ceremony for the chedi was in 1868. From the survey of this temple, it was found that the present viharn was completed on 14 March, 1929.

 

Though this area has a separate Chinese temple for Chinese merchants, it is understood that this temple is also the center for Chinese Buddhists in the area.

 

The San Pa Khoi area met its decline when the road construction between Bangkok and Chiang Mai was completed. The road transportation replaced the railway because it was faster and because the train ran only two days a week. Furthermore, having cars meant that people could go directly to the production sites without having to go through the middlemen at San Pa Khoi market anymore.

This Tuesday we had a beautiful day. -10 degrees C, clouds but no snow, and no wind. I decided to head outside the city for some serious winter photography. Just before my bus stop I spotted this beautiful deer stag standing in the snow! Well, when I got off the bus I stalked around a hill and mounted my long lens to try and capture it, thinking I had the chance for my photo of the year. But as soon as I spotted it, it spotted me. Darn! I stood still for a few minutes but it wouldn't leave me with its eyes. As soon as I took a step it ran away. And yeah, by then the other stag and the two does had become visible too. So I had to settle for a few shots of them flying away. It's not great, not well focused, but I had to upload it anyway. Also, I'm running away to Stockholm now! Will be back before New Year.

 

ps. The rest of the day resulted in some amazing winter scenics, which I will share with you next year. So it wasn't a total bust after all, far from it!

 

Take care for now! :)

El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.

 

Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.

 

Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.

 

The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.

 

Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.

 

The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

 

Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.
