Shots from Saturday 15 September 1973 before the Race of the Year at Mallory Park. This was a practice day and at the time I took these shots no bikes were on the track until Read took the MV out after a plug change. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end as I watched from the footbridge as he entered Gerrards Bend.
I have read where the “experts” say there are 500 billion galaxies and 500 billion universes. There is no way to dispute that statement.
However, let’s just say for a moment that “they” are wrong. What if that number is half as much? How many chances are there that Earth like planets exists? One, ten, 100, 1000 or a million? Who could possibly know?
As I ask in the other photo… do you believe? Do you believe that life is “out there?”
What if “they” are wrong on the opposite side of the scale? What if that number is double what “they” think?

"I can read with my left eye. I can read with my right. I can read Mississippi with my eyes shut tight! Mississippi, Indianapolis, an Hallelujah, too! I can read them with my eyes shut! That is very hard to do! But it's bad for my hat and makes my eyebrows get red hot. So... reading with my eyes shut I don't do an awful lot." ~Dr. Seuss

Today Charlie and I took a walk to Burlington to buy a Dr. Seuss book (I couldn't believe that I didn't have one hanging around. Although I might have some in my boxes of books in storage at my Parents') and to just go for a walk. I picked up I Can Read With My Eyes Shut and then painted myself up like a kitty! Meow!
Random Fact: While I can't read with my eyes shut...I can read upside down and in a circle, which is something that my second graders love.

I saw this frame the moment i saw the flowers. This is uncropped, otherwise unprocessed, except for some levels-sat-resize-usm
The only advise i want from people who have shot sonkusum earlier is how on earth do you avoid those twigs cluttering your frame. Some twigs add to the pic, but too many are a crowd.
And dont ask about the itch you get after you come out of the thicket!

I sponsored Kikusui Boko/Hoko, one of the festival floats, in Gion Matsuri 2006 bu bying this talisman, made of bamboo. By placing it over door frame, it will collect bad spirits for an year, but then it must be returned to where it was bought, to be ceremonially destroyed (burned?). By bying one of these you also get the right to climb to the boko and see the festival streets from up high. During the parades musicians sit up there with the doll representing the divine child.
[Kikusui boko's] celestial child doll is named "Kiku-jido" (kiku=chrysanthemum jido=child), who, according to a Chinese tale became an eternally young by drinking from a chrysanthemum. (According to the Kikujido legend, if four lines of the Kannon sutra (four lines out of eight that praise the Kannon) are written on a chrysanthemum leaf, the dew that forms on this leaf will become an elixir that brings 800, 900 or even 1000 years of life, also giving those who drink it a youthful appearance.)
The orginal Kikusui boko float was destroyed during the civil war of 1864 and the present one is the exact replica which was rebuilt in around 1947-53 (sources I checked disagreed on this). A large golden chryshantemum risies above the float on a pole, which is parked in the corner of Shijo-dori & Muromachi-dori during the Gion festival.

One of the Gion Matsuri floats, Ashikari Yama, has great English website, with pictures and information on the traditions and history of the float and it's ornaments:
Honestly, I haven't fully realized how lucky I am. Let me take you through my full story :)
June 22nd, 2009:
It was bright, sunny and the first Monday of summer, so naturally, I was online. I had recently bought tickets to see the Jonas Brothers on their World Tour. I was browsing Ticketmaster for the night I wasn't seeing (the JB were coming to Philly for 2 nights and I had tix for the first night). I searched for 3 seats (one for me, one for Gabbi and one for Grace) and I read the numbers that came onto the screen. They were as follows: Section 102, Row 4, Seats 1,2 and 3. I did a doubletake and almost exited the page involuntarily. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Had I just scored 4TH ROW to a JONAS BROTHERS concert?!!!!!?!?!?!
Yes. Yes I had.
I instantly got up and ran as fast as my legs would take me outside to tell my mom. "Mom! Mom! HURRY UP!!" She thought I was dying or something and ran straight inside. I showed her the tickets and the time I had left to buy them. I dialed my dad's number as my mom paced. She didn't want me to spend another 90 bucks on the SAME concert. I was getting nervous.
The time was ticking "1:39, 1:38, 1:37..." My dad said he would let me and my mom agreed. She said it was ONLY because they were such good seats. I clicked buy, put in the number and bam. I was set to see JB in fourth row. I was in utter disbelief.
"What do I do now?" I thought.
Scream? Naw. Too teeny.
Run up and down the street like a maniac? Eh, not right now.
OHMYGOD. I need to tell my friends that they're seeing JB in 4th row!
I called them both and we exchanged insanely loud screams through the phone. I apologized to my phone for the screaming afterwards.
"This is it." I thought.
But it still didn't hit me.
July 24th, 2009:
The day of my concert was something I cannot even put into words. I had already seen the show the day before, so I knew what to look for and where I would be sitting. That's one of the advantages of seeing the show twice.
Anyways, I went to my seats and still didn't realize what was happening. The night before, we noticed Big Rob and the band walking by where we were going to sit tonight. This time, we were on the lookout. Suddenly, he came out from the tunnel. Gabbi, Grace and I sprinted to front row and squeezed in to give him high fives. I. Just. High. Fived. Big. Rob. HOLY FREAKIN MOTHER OF JONAS! So here we are in front row, talking to BR. All of the sudden, darkness.
Dun dun dun. Dun dun dun. Dun dun dun. Dun dun dun.
We will, we will ROCK YOU!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
We were baddd girls and just stayed in front row. I kept saying "This is it. It's what we've waited for." Over and over again to Gabbi and Grace. Goosebumps covered my body and I was shaking up a storm.
All of the sudden, they came out from the middle. Shall we recall my thoughts at that exact moment?
Jonas. Brothers. Joe. Kevin. Nick. Front. Row. Right. There. OHMYGOD. This. Is. So. Amazing. I can't even process my thoughts right now. It's just so- OHMYGOD!!! JOEEEEE!!!!! Here he comes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah, here comes Joe. SNAP! I take this picture and bam. Gone :(
So we enjoy the first three songs IN FIRST ROW, something so many fans never get to experience :( and then the security guard kicked us back to our seats. I cried about it during "Fly With Me", but you can't stay sad at a Jonas concert.
That is my front row story.
I'm SO SORRY IT WAS SO LONG!!
Anyways THE POINT OF THIS STORY IS:
I never ever believed I would see front row. I never believed JOE JONAS would throw a guitar pick to ME (granted, I didn't catch it, but it's the thought that counts :). I never believed I would be this lucky and this happy. So to all you fans who have NEVER seen front row, STOP HOPING, START BELIEVING.
You WILL see front row if you're meant to. And for fans who have seen it, don't think you're time is over or that wishing to see it again is being selfish because IT ISNT. Front row is an adrenaline rush I wish I could have EVERY day. But I can't. And seeing front row more than once isn't taking away from people unless you DON'T ENJOY IT. So believe. Always believe.

Not many people know this:
Between the years 1964 and 1973, the United States flew more than half a million bombing missions, delivering more than two million tons of explosive ordnance (more than the US dropped in whole WWII), in an attempt to block the flow of North Vietnamese arms and troops through Laotian territory during the so called "secret war". The ordnance dropped include more than 266 million submunitions (known as “bombies” in Lao) released from cluster bombs. With then 2.5 million people made Laos the most bombed country in the world!
On top of normal Ho Chi Minh trail targets, on failed bombing runs over North Vietnam, pilots would before returning to bases in South Vietnam and Thailand only land their planes after dropping their ordnance on "secondary targets" in Laos.
It is estimated that up to 30% of all ordnance did not explode. Such unexploded ordnance (UXO) continues to remain in the ground, maiming and killing people, and hindering socio-economic development and food security as of today.
At the UXO information centre in Vientiane, capital of Laos, visitors learn more about this secret war and have the opportunity to watch the great documentary "Bombies" ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vru9c_ffQSA ) a must see for all those that have never heard of the secret war in Laos that even Congress didnt know about...
We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.
The Third Annual Celebration of the National African American Read In was hosted by Charlotte Mecklenburg Library at Sugar Creek Charter Elementary.
