A nostalgic view of the past awaits the visitor to the quaint old town of Talbot in central Victoria - Australia. Talbot is located within what was a very rich gold mining area between Maryborough and Clunes. Originally servicing a mining population of over 15,000 during the 1850s, today only a few hundred people live in Talbot. The town retains a number of historic buildings from its prosperous gold mining days.

“I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose.” - R.J. Anderson

[It has been so long since I've posted a photo. I've missed, so much, taking my weekly photos, and editing in my dark room with my ambient music humming quietly and putting me in a trance-like state. I've gotten sadder, not being as on top of my art lately. So to remedy that, I'll be getting back into the swing of regularly producing images. May was a...challenging month, but here we are almost in July, and I'm ready to get cracking.
This image has something hiding in it for you. It's a word so laden with meaning for me that I got a tiny typewriter-font tattoo of it on my left wrist, actually. It's something my mom told me to do. A lot. She always did say my head was in the clouds, and that I was off in la-la land. And she was right.]

The primary purpose of the Porte de Trèves (square tower measuring around 8m in length and 17m in height) is to enable access to the city.
In the year 1332, John the Blind, count of Luxembourg and La Roche, king of Bohemia and Poland, grants the City a Charter. In exchange, the city is obliged to ensure the upkeep of the city walls, which the citizens must keep guarded. In 1688, the city walls are demolished by order of the king Louis XIV, and the Porte de Trèves is converted into a prison and halfway house until the First World War.
Restoration work was carried out during the 19th century. The damage caused by the Von Rundstedt Offensive in 1944-1945 also almost destroyed the building.
To this day, the Porte de Trèves is the last remaining vestige of the fortifications that surrounded the city in the middle ages.

The date and purpose of the construction the ramparts at Carl Wark is uncertain, it has been described as being "unlike any other structure found in Northern England."
It is widely postulated to be a hill fort of Iron Age origin, perhaps dating from the 8th to the 5th centuries BC...

Besorah for the Brokenhearted
Isaiah 61 The Ruach of Adonai Elohim is on me,[a]
because Adonai has anointed me
to proclaim Good News to the poor.[b]
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound,
2 to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor
and the day of our God’s vengeance,
to comfort all who mourn
3 to console those who mourn in Zion,
to give them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,[c]
the garment of praise
for the spirit of heaviness,
that they might be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of Adonai,
that He may be glorified.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins.
They will restore former desolations.
They will repair the ruined cities,
the desolations of many generations.
5 Strangers will stand and shepherd your flocks,
children of foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
6 But you will be called the kohanim of Adonai,
They will speak of you as the ministers of our God.
You will eat the wealth of nations
and boast in their abundance.
7 Instead of your shame, double portion.
instead of disgrace they will sing for joy.
Therefore in their land they will inherit a double portion;
they will have everlasting joy.
8 For I, Adonai, love justice.
I hate robbery in the burnt offering.
In faithfulness I will reward My people
and cut an eternal covenant with them.
9 Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
their descendants among the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them,
for they are the seed that Adonai has blessed.
10 I will rejoice greatly in Adonai.
My soul will be joyful in my God.
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me in a robe of righteousness—
like a bridegroom wearing a priestly turban,
like a bride adorning herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
and as a garden causes things sown to spring up,
so Adonai Elohim will cause justice and praise
to spring up before all the nations.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the asteroid Dimorphos was taken on 19 December 2022, nearly four months after the asteroid was impacted by NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. Hubble’s sensitivity reveals a few dozen boulders knocked off the asteroid by the force of the collision. These are among the faintest objects Hubble has ever photographed inside the Solar System. The ejected boulders range in size from 1 m to 6.7 m across, based on Hubble photometry. They are drifting away from the asteroid at around 1 km per hour. The discovery yields invaluable insights into the behaviour of a small asteroid when it is hit by a projectile for the purpose of altering its trajectory.
[Image Description: The bright white object at lower left is the asteroid Dimorphos. It has a blue dust tail extending diagonally to the upper right. A cluster of blue dots surrounds the asteroid. These are boulders that were knocked off the asteroid when, on 26 September 2022, NASA deliberately slammed the half-tonne DART impactor spacecraft into the asteroid as a test of what it would take to deflect some future asteroid from hitting Earth. Hubble photographed the slow-moving boulders in December 2022.]

Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility is an important maritime location situated on the River Tees in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England. With a rich history dating back several centuries, this facility has played a significant role in the region's maritime activities. In this historical account, we will explore the origins, development, and importance of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility, providing a comprehensive overview of its evolution over time.
Origins and Early History:
The story of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility begins in the late 18th century when the River Tees emerged as a vital industrial waterway. The river provided an essential transport link for industries such as coal mining, iron and steel production, and shipbuilding. The natural sheltered area known as Paddy's Hole, located on the southern side of the river's entrance, became a favored spot for local fishermen and boat owners due to its calm waters and proximity to fishing grounds.
During the 19th century, Redcar witnessed significant growth as an important coastal town. The expansion of the local fishing industry prompted the need for a dedicated facility to store and maintain fishing boats. Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility was established in response to this demand. The exact date of its establishment is uncertain, but records suggest it was in operation by the mid-19th century.
Development and Growth:
In its early years, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility consisted of basic storage facilities and moorings for local fishing vessels. As the fishing industry flourished, the facility underwent several improvements and expansions. By the late 19th century, it had evolved into a well-equipped storage and maintenance facility, accommodating an increasing number of fishing boats.
During this period, the construction of the South Gare breakwater in the late 1860s provided further protection to Paddy's Hole from the turbulent North Sea. This development enhanced the facility's suitability for storing and maintaining boats, attracting more fishermen to utilize its services. The South Gare breakwater also facilitated the growth of other maritime activities, such as pleasure boating and recreational fishing, contributing to the facility's increasing importance.
World Wars and Post-War Era:
The two World Wars had a profound impact on Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. During World War I, the facility played a crucial role in supporting the war effort. It served as a base for several naval activities, including patrol vessels, mine clearance operations, and the training of naval personnel. Additionally, Paddy's Hole became a temporary home for fishing vessels requisitioned by the government for wartime purposes.
Similarly, during World War II, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility played a strategic role. The facility served as a base for coastal defense and anti-submarine operations. Its proximity to the North Sea made it an ideal location for monitoring and protecting the coast against potential threats. After the war, the facility reverted to its primary function of serving the local fishing community, contributing to the post-war economic recovery.
Modern Era and Recreational Use:
In the latter half of the 20th century, changes in the fishing industry and the decline of traditional fishing practices led to a shift in the role of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. With fewer fishing vessels requiring its services, the facility began to adapt to new market demands. It gradually transformed into a multipurpose facility catering to recreational boating, yachting, and watersports.
To meet the needs of the changing demographic, various amenities were added to the facility. These included boat ramps, mooring pontoons, storage sheds, and maintenance workshops. The facility became a hub for boating enthusiasts, attracting visitors from across the region and beyond.
In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and enhance the historical significance of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. Conservation projects have been undertaken to maintain the original structures, while new developments have focused on creating a more inclusive and accessible space for the community. The facility continues to provide storage, maintenance, and launch services for a diverse range of watercraft, catering to both commercial and recreational users.
Conclusion:
The history of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility reflects the ever-changing dynamics of maritime activities along the River Tees in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England. From its humble beginnings as a local fishing boat storage facility to its modern-day role as a versatile boating hub, Paddy's Hole has witnessed and adapted to the shifting needs of the community.
Throughout its existence, the facility has played a pivotal role in supporting local industries, providing essential services during times of war, and fostering recreational boating and watersports. Today, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility stands as a testament to the region's maritime heritage, serving as a vibrant center for boating enthusiasts and a reminder of the area's enduring connection to the sea.

Facts
Purpose....... earlier the House of Political Education of the City Committee of the CPSU in Kamensk-Uralsky, nowadays the Social and Cultural Center.
Location........ Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia
Style..... Soviet Modernism
Year of putting into operation....... 1981
History
In 1978 in the Kamensk-Uralsky by the city committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) the ideological organization of the House of Political Education (HPE) was founded. Its main activity was the political study of propagandists, political reformers, agitators for the city's enterprises.
The building for the HPE have being built almost ten years on funds of party fees and was the property of the CPSU. In July 1, 1981 the object was put into operation, and the party library moved first in it. It was an elite organization, closed to the public access. There were a lot of rare books in the library in a single copy.
After August 1991, in the city as in the whole country anarchy reigned for two months, the building was sealed. HPE as an ideological organization ceased to exist. The building was transferred to the department of culture, and it housed a new organization - the Social and Cultural Center, which exists to this day. Various city events, concerts, exhibitions, competitions, etc. are held here. The Great Hall is also a philharmonic hall where you can hear classical, jazz, popular and folk music.
About the model
The model is built on a scale of 1: 700. The building located on a natural elevation, so the cascade of stairs leads to the main entrance. A massive parallelepiped above the central entrance rests on columns, on the right and left glazed wings. The whole appearance of the building corresponds to the architectural style of the 70-80s. In order to adequately convey all the altitudinal differences in the model, a transition to half the height of the plate was used.
This pic was taken a week ago..the glittering ice is now buried under piles of stupid snow after the "blizzard". It snowed for two freakin' days, people! Winter needs to go away...it serves no purpose!
So you can see why I need to force myself to see the beauty and the magic in this wretched season!
Ground portable, general purpose and bombing use. Fourth generation model issued to troops in all armored and cavalry divisions, and many infantry units.
Capable of firing a 3kg slug at mach 2.1, delivering 481 force-pounds of disruption, troops nicknamed it "Knock Knock" for its quick and effective power against armored units.
The impractical and incredible amount of force is countered with an internally collapsing stock, with a carbon fiber balloon inside; the balloon is crushed, taking the force of the shot down immensely. Users still complain of broken or dislocated collar bones, among other injuries.Reports of burst eardrums also have been filed as the rifle is said to be extraordinarily loud.
Due to this system, the rifle takes longer to make safe to fire than it does to reload.

When you know who you are;
when your mission is clear
and you burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will;
no cold can touch your heart;
no deluge can dampen your purpose.
You know that you are alive.

The purpose of this place of worship was to ensure the religious assistance of the military within the Aviation Unit in Bacau and of the believers in the area. The church was built by the voluntary contribution of the aviation military and the Christians who attend this place of worship during the days of prayer. The works began in 2006 and were completed in 2010.
The monument with a MIG-21 supersonic plane was placed there in memory of the aviators dropped on Bacau Aerodrome over the years, when it was the Aviation training center.
I know these are for ceremony purposes, but that did not stop my mind from wandering a little while I passed by these giant mountains of flowers. When I was a little kid, near the end of the year in autumn I would enjoy jumping around in giant piles of leaves. How could I not imagine a little what it would be like to fall into one of these giant piles of flowers. I would probably get my ass kicked for doing something so disgraceful or get stung by hundreds of bees hiding in the flowers. There must be other people thinking this.
Not a senior session, not boudoir. Just fun. I did her hair & makeup! It was like being in high school again.

"The secret of success is constancy to purpose."

My Dad passed away over 20 years ago (in 1999). However, the last time I visited my Dad and my Step-Mom in the States (on my 44th Birthday in 1998), he gave me this lovely orchid's leaf which was legally prepared for me to carry thru Customs in Japan.
I have been nurturing this Epithelium Angulier orchid cactus and this is the first time to have a flower blossom that opened!
Thank you Daddy for your love and all of the lessons you taught me about growing orchid cactus.
Thanks for stopping by
and God Bless,
hugs, Chris
