The Postcard
A postcard published by Hartmann which shows the road leading up to Richmond Park. There is a milestone out of shot to the right which is in the same position to this day, even though the tree and the greenery of the triangle have long gone.
The card was posted in Mortlake on Friday the 10th. July 1908 to:
Miss Lucy Wright,
The Fort,
Bristol.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"The Gables.
I was so pleased to get
your card, dear. I have
often wondered if you
were at Bristol.
I hope you are both
well.
I am quite myself again
now & glad to say I hope
to go to Somerset early
in September. I wonder
if we can meet.
Love to both.
Yours as ever,
E. E."

Reto Badrutt
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 10th. July 1908 marked the birth of the Swiss ski jumper Reto Badrutt. He competed in the individual event at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
Reto died in Arosa, Switzerland at the age of 65 in April 1974.
Donald Peers
The day also marked the birth in Ammanford, Wales of Donald Peers.
Donald Rhys Hubert Peers was a popular Welsh singer. His best remembered rendition and signature song was "In a Shady Nook by a Babbling Brook".
Donald Peers - The Early Years
Donald Peers was born in the Welsh mining town of Ammanford, Carmarthenshire. His father was a colliery worker, and a prominent member of the Plymouth Brethren who disapproved of the variety theatre, and never heard or saw his son work.
Peers' family were hoping that he would become a schoolteacher, but he had other ambitions, and left home at the age of sixteen.
Peers travelled around the country working as a house painter and, for a time, went to sea as a mess steward on ships. He met Gertrude Thomson whom he married in June 1930, and they had a daughter, Sheila, in 1931.
Donald joined a dance band as a singer and continued his day job as a painter. His first BBC Radio broadcast took place on the 17th. December 1927, with the London Radio Dance Band. One of the songs he sang was, "In a Shady Nook by a Babbling Brook", which became his most requested song and, later, his signature tune. The song had been written by E. G. Nelson and Harry Pease in 1927.
Donald's London debut took place in a revue at the Bedford Theatre in 1929. He struggled on until 1933 when, after an appearance on the BBC Music Hall programme booked as The Laughing Cavalier of Song, he got a recording contract with HMV Records. During that year he made two television broadcasts.
Donald Peers in WWII and After
In 1940 Peers enlisted in the Royal Army Service Corps as a clerk, where he served until D-Day in 1944, when he was invalided out. When in service, he entertained his fellow troops in shows.
In 1944 he recorded "In a Shady Nook by a Babbling Brook." Other 1940's recordings included "I Can't Begin To Tell You", "Bow Bells", "Far Away Places", "On The 5.45" (a vocal version of "Twelfth Street Rag", with lyrics by Andy Razaf), "Powder Your Face With Sunshine" (one of his biggest successes), "Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)", "A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky)", "Everywhere You Go", "Clancy Lowered the Boom", "It Happened in Adano", "A Rose in a Garden of Weeds", "I'll String Along with You" and "Down in the Glen".
Peers found a favourable audience in Australia. In 1950 alone he placed the following 12 songs into Australia's Top 20: "Music! Music! Music! (Put Another Nickel In)", "I Told Them All About You", "(If I Knew You Were Comin') I'd Have Baked a Cake", "Harry Lime Theme", "Twenty Four Hours of Sunshine", "Dearie", "Tennessee Waltz", "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)", "Oh, You Sweet One", "Rolling 'Round the World", "My Golden Baby", and "Daddy's Little Girl".
Donald Peers' Touring and TV Appearances
Donald toured in variety, building up quite a following in the provinces, and, in 1948, after a big break on BBC Radio, became a West End star. Henry Hall booked him with Billy Russell and Norman Wisdom for a new show called Buttons & Bows in 1949 and, in the same year, he performed his one-man show at the Royal Albert Hall and the London Palladium.
Peers appeared in the 1950 Royal Variety Performance. He was given his own radio show, Cavalier of Song, and had hits with, "On a Slow Boat to China". In the early 1960's Peers was given his own television programme, Donald Peers Presents, and, in that programme, he introduced Tom Jones and also scientist and writer Brian J. Ford, this time playing boogie piano.
Donald Peers in Film
Donald appeared in several films including, The Balloon Goes Up (1942) and Sing Along with Me (1952), and continued recording with songs such as, "The Last Mile Home", "Dear Hearts and Gentle People", "Out of a Clear Blue Sky", "Music! Music! Music!", "Dearie", "I Remember the Cornfields", "Beloved, Be Faithful", "Me and My Imagination", "Mistakes", "In a Golden Coach" (a celebratory number for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II), "Is It Any Wonder" and "Changing Partners".
Donald Peers' Later Hits
After several years at the top, Peers left for Australia, where he stayed for two years. When he returned to the UK in 1968, his fans had all but forgotten him, and he had to work back to stardom via the club circuit, which had taken over from the variety theatres.
He made a comeback with "Please Don't Go" (a ballad set to the tune of Offenbach's "Barcarolle" from The Tales of Hoffmann), which reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart in 1969. This was followed by a string of singles and albums by Peers, but it was not until 1972 that he had another hit record with "Give Me One More Chance", which reached the UK Top 40.
Donald Peers - The Later Years
Donald Peers often sat in the garden of his Surrey home playing ukulele and singing while his wife and daughter worked on the plants in the garden.
Peers died at the age of 65 in a Hove nursing home on the 9th. August 1973. The Brighton & Hove Gazette and Herald announced his demise.
Donald was cremated in the Downs Crematorium, Brighton. His memorial tablet in the Garden of Remembrance, now weather-beaten, reads:
'Donald Peers, August 1973,
Loved by Kates, "In a Shady
Nook by a Babbling Brook"'.
“Positions of the Unknown” locates the current whereabouts of these mysterious objects by simply pointing at them as they revolve around Earth. Missing the legal proof, those unidentified artefacts remain entities of pure speculation, secret companions of us and our planet. Even so they have been sighted several times and their ubiquitous presence is therefore somehow validated, they linger in a state between existence and non-existence. Quadrature’s 52 small machines constantly follow their paths and serve as silent witnesses of the unknown.

Exercise #2....I took a shot of Mickey with the flash 45° to my left, then a shot from the flash's point of view.
Now its done. Thanks to Hans Kerensky, I managed to put this back properly. Left photo is the cocked position and right is the proper open position when the shutter is pressed.
French rock musician Matthieu Chedid (who has the stage name of -M-) playing with Lamomali at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris (Dec 2017). This is from the second of two gigs at this venue and was also the final night of the tour.
Last summer, I photographed Lamomali at WOMAD and loved them musically and photographically.
Fortunately, my pics were a hit with -M-. 😎
I asked nicely if I could photograph the final two gigs of their tour (at a 20,000 capacity arena) and received permission. Woo-Hoo!
Lamomali is a single album collaboration (rather than a band), between -M-, Toumani and Siddiki Diabaté and Fatoumata Diawara.
You can see videos of songs from the album at these links:

This is a shot from our camping position at Mt Potts in New Zealand looking over at the hill (Mount Sunday) where they built the Edoras set for the Lord of the Rings films.
The scenery was absolutely incredible here and I can see why it made for such great footage on the film.
There's more info on the set and a video showing it here
I have a full panorama of this scene, but I'm not too happy with the softening which the canon software has done. I may try again with PTGui or similar.

Amur Leopard - Colchester Zoo, Colchester, Essex, England - September 2008.

This is the same Leopard that's on my profile page...and was taken through the glass, after he came up to me and stopped and had a look around..:O))
I had to clone out my reflection on the glass as well...:O)))
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ The Amur Leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is critically endangered. It is one of the rarest felids in the world with an estimated 27 to 32 individuals remaining in the wild (2007 snow track count).
Its common names are Amur leopard from Amur River or Far Eastern Leopard.
Appearance ~ Of the eight subspecies the Amur, or Far Eastern leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) shows the strongest divergence in coat pattern. The coat is pale cream (especially in winter) and has widely spaced rosettes with thick, black rings and darkened centres. The length of the coat varies between 2.5cm in summer and 7.5cm in winter.
Status in the wild and in zoos ~ The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) is the northernmost of the eight leopard subspecies. The Amur leopard's range is overlapping with that of the Amur tiger or Siberian Tiger which range extends further to the north. The Amur leopard's historic range extended throughout northeastern ("Manchurian") China, the southern part of Primorsky Krai in Russia and the Korean Peninsula. This range shrank dramatically during the 20th century, due primarily to habitat loss and hunting. Today, it is critically endangered with only 27 to 34 individuals remaining in Southwest Primorye. There are probably up to 10 animals scattered throughout the Chinese Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces, with the majority of animals concentrated near the Russian border.
The Amur leopard probably went extinct in the wild in South Korea in the late 1960s, although some recent, unconfirmed reports suggest that a few leopards may remain in and around the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. There are likely still leopards in the rugged northern region of North Korea near the Chinese border, and it is also likely that animals from Southwest Primorye in Russia occasionally cross the border into North Korea, but reliable information is lacking.
The Amur leopard is listed as Endangered by the IUCN and is on CITES Appendix I for protection status.
There are approximately 300 Amur leopards in captivity, mostly in zoos in Europe, North America and countries of the former Soviet Union. Most, but not all, of these leopards are in zoos participating in managed conservation breeding programmes.
Ecology ~ Male Amur leopards weigh 32-48 kg, with exceptionally large males up to 60-75 kg. Females are smaller than the males at 25-43 kg.
The main prey species of the Amur leopard are roe and sika deer, along with hares and badgers.
Whilst it has been found in other regions that leopards do not do well in areas where they share territory with tigers, this has not proved to be the case in Russia. Studies have indicated that an increased tiger population in the Southwest Primorye area has not adversely affected the leopard population.
Amur leopards in zoos show some evidence of breeding seasonalilty with a peak in births in late spring/early summer. After a gestation period of around 12 weeks cubs are born in litters of 1-4 individuals, with an average litter size of just over 2. The cubs will stay with their mother for up to two years before becoming fully independent. Females first breed at an age of 3-4 years.
In the wild, leopards live for 10-15 years and they may reach 20 years in captivity.
