Koneswaram temple of Trincomalee historically known also as the Thirukonamamalai Konesar Kovil, the Temple of the Thousand Pillars and Thiru-Konamamalai Maccakeswaram Kovil, is a Hindu temple in Trincomalee, Eastern Province, Sri Lanka venerated by Saivites throughout the continent. It is built atop Swami Rock, a rocky promontory cape overlooking Trincomalee, a classical period harbour port town. The primary deity is the Hindu god Lord Shiva in the form Konesar. There has been a kovil at this site since the 3rd century, possessing a hoary history with various dates of establishment and development attributed at different points before the classical era. At its zenith, the original Konesar temple was the main shrine of the Trincomalee Koneswaram Temple Compounds, one of three ancient connected Hindu temples on Swami rock with a considerably sized gopuram in a complex of nine major courtyard compounds. The Konesar temple stood distinctly in the middle of the cape at its highest eminence, with other shrines to deities Ganesh, Vishnu (Thirumal), Ambal-Shakti and Murukan stretching across the cape complex to its extremities. Heralded as one of the richest and most visited temple compounds in Asia, Koneswaram became one of the most important surviving and influential structures in the world by the early 17th century, inspiring a rich corpora of devotional and descriptive literature, inscriptions and art by royals and pilgrims.

He does a lot of this kind of gesturing now to communicate with us, since his spoken and sign vocabularies are still pretty small.
If I remember correctly, he was pointing up toward a squirrel in the tree above us, who was chattering away in defensive mode while we took a little water and animal cracker break outside the Stokes Nature Center, on our hike along the River Trail in Logan Canyon
Went on a photo safari again for the annual Little Five Points Halloween Parade in Atlanta, Georgia. The heavy clouds made for some somewhat flat pics, but Bhavini loaned me her new 16-35L lens. It's a great super wide angle lens that's perfect for this type of event. People really get distorted on the peripherals, but it allows for a lot of space to compose a story.
There were about 5,000 people at the parade and it was a great loud and rowdy neighborhood festival. The costumes were amazing as always and it was great to see so many kids getting in on the fest.

Bangor bash Barban boys
by Roger Corbett
On a perfect afternoon for rugby, Bangor maintained their good winning streak by recording another bonus point victory against Dromore, eventually winning by 38-17.
With Bangor and Dromore looking secure in 3rd and 4th places respectively in the league, this game could have been viewed as a dead fixture. However, with Dromore no doubt wanting to reverse their earlier defeat, and Bangor wanting to maximise their points tally, the game was certainly competitive.
Bangor got proceedings underway, playing into a slight breeze that was blowing diagonally across the pitch. From the outset, Dromore used this slight advantage to gain good ground through well taken positional kicks. However, were equally happy to run the ball back and produced several good attacks in reply. In fact the home side could have been a couple of scores up in the first quarter, but the ball didn’t run for them at the crucial moments. However, the breakthrough eventually came when the handling across the backs was crisp and secure, giving Neil Cuthbertson on the right wing the opportunity to stretch his legs and dive over in the corner for a well-taken try. The difficult kick was missed, but the scoreboard had started in Bangor’s favour by 5-0.
The next twenty minutes were almost a copy of the first quarter, with Bangor making most of the attacking opportunities, only to be thwarted by a stubborn Dromore defence. For Dromore’s part, they also had their chances, and came close from a kick through that Cuthbertson managed to shepherd into the goal area and get the resulting twenty two drop-out. However, a slack response by Bangor handed the initiative back to Dromore who, after several surges, managed to push over for their first try in the right hand corner, levelling the scores at 5-5 with just a minute or two left in the first half.
Bangor’s reply from the restart was immediate and in complete contrast to how they approached the previous drop-out. Mark Thompson’s kick hung in the breeze, allowing Jamie Clegg to leap for it and continue running at the static Dromore defence. He then passed inside to Jason Morgan who then passed again to Mike Weir at outside centre. Although Weir had the option of Cuthbertson on the wing, he fooled the Dromore defence and made a charge for the line, just managing to squeeze over in the right hand corner. The conversion was missed, making the score 10-5.
With 2 minutes of stoppage time having elapsed, there was just enough time for Dromore to restart once more. However, another apparent lapse in concentration by Bangor in securing and then clearing the ball, allowed Dromore to come straight back and score an opportunist try in the corner and level the points at 10-10. As the referee blew for half time, the home supporters were stunned, feeling their side should have been well in front by this time.
As the teams turned around, Bangor produced their now familiar second half surge. Within 5 minutes, a good break by James Henly was stopped just inside the Dromore twenty two. Although the ball went to ground, good support play by Curtis Stewart saw him pick up and run through to score under the posts. Cuthbertson’s kick was good, and Bangor were back in front by 17-10.
An injury to full back Chris Morgan resulted in changes to both the forward and backs line-up, with Adam Rushe coming off the bench to take James Henly’s wing forward position, allowing Henly to move to outside centre, and moving Mike Weir to full back as a result. There followed a brief period of settling to this new structure, before Bangor struck again. Seeing a flat Dromore defence ahead of him, Jason Morgan chipped over their heads and began the chase for the line. The ball bounced favourably for him, and he just managed to gather and touch down ahead of the nearest defender. The kick was successful extending the lead to 24-10, and now with the additional bonus point.
Although Dromore maintained their own pressure, it was Bangor who were calling most of the shots. Just 7 minutes later, the ball went wide to Mark Widdowson on the left wing whose pace and footwork left several Dromore players floundering, before darting through to score under the posts. The addition of the simple conversion brought the score to 31-10.
With only 5 minutes remaining, Dromore produced a late push and brought play deep into Bangor’s twenty two. Although Dromore won their scrum close to Bangor’s line, it looked like Bangor had the attack covered. However a defensive mix-up left a gap that provided a simple run through for Dromore to score beside the posts. With the successful conversion, the gap had closed to 31-17.
Obviously annoyed by this mistake, Bangor came back at Dromore, forcing the visitors to concede a penalty inside their twenty two. Spurning the kick at goal, Thompson kicked for touch and an attacking line-out. With the ball safely won, Bangor started to drive forward, but the strong Dromore pack held it up. However, the ball was quickly recycled by Ricky Armstrong to Mark Thompson, who then passed to Jason Morgan who pushed off his tackler to score the final try of the day and, with the conversion, bring the final score to 38-17.
This was a good day for North Down sides playing Mid Down opposition. Bangor’s success against Dromore was matched by neighbours Donaghadee who produced an inspired performance to beat Ballynahinch 2nds and earn a place in this year’s Towns Cup final as a result – congratulations to all.
Bangor’s final fixture in this year’s league is away to Cooke next Saturday. The weekend is then topped off on Sunday afternoon with what should be a highly entertaining game between the Perennials and a Bangor Select XV. With several familiar faces from seasons past, this is sure to be a fun event, and one to come along and enjoy.

Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.
