Flushing Meadows-Corona Park
In 1939 and 1964, at two great turning points of the 20th century, Flushing Meadows hosted the World's Fair. The fairs were visited by hundreds of thousands- my grandparents saw both of them, and my father and wife's mother were at the 1964 fair as little kids. I wish I could have seen them
All that remains now are scattered in ruins throughout the park-- Ruins of structures that represented the deepest ideals of their time and that expressed an imagined future of hope and progress. It is interesting and sad that many of the promises presented by both Fairs were completely trampled in the years immediately following them.
The park is woefully neglected and fantastically hard to access- finding open access points is abnormally difficult. Ironically, the highways built in the 1930's to bring visitors to the World's Fair now bind the park in such a way that keeps most people out.
But actually, all this is a blessing, as, once in the park, you can be nearly alone amongst the relics of 20th century idealism. There is a strange surreal serenity here- like the landscape of a 1960's post-apocalyptic, failed-utopia science fiction movie.
Also, the park's neglect means you can approach a lot of the structures un-bothered. There's no other place in the city where you can skateboard around and even CLIMB on such internationally iconic structures as the Unisphere.
This is an excellent site about the '64 Fair - the maps are especially superb: www.westland.net/ny64fair/
These are some pictures of the 1939 Fair:

ardenly: One of the points of Belle, expressed in its central metaphor of the portrait for which the cousins pose, is that someone is always at risk of being painted out of history. The film paints everyone back in. Director Amma Asante also addresses the issue of representation and how the portrayal of people of colour effects one’s self-perception through Dido’s political awakening and her development of self-acceptance.

Do you know about my FB page fb.com/bikerjunphotos? Where else would you like to see my photos? Let me know!
1/2 pound pasta
2 medium sized ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and roughly chopped (I used 1 small can of diced tomatoes)
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
6 to 8 large basil leaves, cut into thin ribbons (I used dried basil in a spice jar)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese, shredded
(I also added 2 cups of sauteed salad shrimp)
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Put tomatoes in a bowl with the garlic, basil and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drain pasta, add to bowl and toss well with tomato mixture.
Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and another few grinds of pepper.
*****
If you eliminate the parmesan cheese, the recipe is core. The recipe builder yields 6 servings at 4 points each.
DF and I will make this again, but we'll go light on the garlic. 3 cloves is a lot. It's a great way to get some healthy oils, and I love pasta. I tend to eat plain things and I'm picky, so it's a great compromise for us and made with things we always have in the house. Simple, fast, and tasty!

This is a photograph from the 6th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs 2015 which were held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 18th October 2015 at 11:00. This is the sixth year which Longwood GAA/Village have hosted race events. This year's event was an outstanding success and builds on the fantastic success of last year's race. The overall number of participants, including walkers, was over 440 which is up on last year's final numbers. There was over 220 runners and joggers in the 10KM while there was almost 200 runners, joggers and walkers in the 5KM. The events were organised as fundraisers for both the adult and juvenille teams at Longwood GAA club. The event also provided a fundraising opportunity for the local St. Vincent de Paul charity. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the event. There were photographs taken at the start of the races and the finishes of both races in Longwood GAA. The full set is available at this link www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157660017638535
Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway. The weather was almost perfect for road running. A beautiful crisp autumn morning with dry cool conditions. 5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
A set of old points on the Dockyard spur line from Inverkeithing. Despite having not been used for nearly 20 years and very overgrown, the line's status remains 'active' with signalling etc still in place. This old set of points were far enough along the line towards Jamestown that they may have pre-dated the reconfiguration of the old North Queensferry branch line following the Beeching Report to become the access line to what was at, that time, HM Dockyard, Rosyth. This photo was taken through the adjacent fence, incidentally.
A member of the footplate crew operates the points to allow Great Western Railway 4500 "prairie" class steam locomotive, 4555, to run around its train at Mendip Vale.

After spending all week in front of the computer, I decided to take yesterday afternoon off to enjoy the beautiful weather at Brazos Bend State Park. This feathered guy is probably the largest Heron I've ever seen. I just stood there and watched him for about 15 minutes.
Okay...now back to work. :)
As I look back, there are a few pivotal points in my life where I feel God has arranged circumstances so clearly that a lesson he has been trying to teach me for some time will be so painfully clear that it will finally make it's way through my thick skull. The last few months have been one of those times.
About two months ago, I was convicted that photography had taken a higher priority in my life than it deserved. Being the all or nothing kind of guy that I am, I removed the temptation by deleting my Flickr account which had taken over two years to develop. The funny thing was, that when faced with the decision between drawing closer to my family and becoming more "successful" as a photographer, it was an easy decision.
Over the last two months, my eyes have been reopened to the wonderful blessings I have right here at home. Exchanging Saturday morning bird hikes for pancakes at home and weeknight birding meetings for family meals and homework is a good trade!
As clearly as I was convicted to back off two months ago, God has also made it clear that it isn't time to give up photography, but to rediscover the joy in it when done for his pleasure, and in his time. Although I will never be perfect, he has taught me that if I keep my priorities straight, he will bless the time that I do get out to take pictures so abundantly that I'll know that I'm still on the right track.
As confirmation of this, after spending a week at my parent's house in Ohio helping my dad recover from surgery, I stopped by Patoka Lake on the way home to see if any Loons had arrived. Expecting to see 10-20, I was amazed to find over 400 Common Loons in several groups throughout the lake.
As I was looking out at these huge numbers of loons, this verse went through my head:
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen" Eph 3:20
Anyway, sorry for the long note, but just had to share.
Have a great weekend!
