Tuesday.
Work day.
And the hottest day of this, or any other year, in Hamburg.
I woke up refreshed as the air con in the room just about made sleep possible, so I got up, showered and dressed and was down for breakfast for half six.
In an unusual move, I thought I would walk to the office, I guessed at three miles, I had nearly four hours to do it in, and being still early, should be bearable.
I walk out of the hotel, cross the road and at the intersection cross via a subway to the path that ran beside the large lake, which in the still of the morning reflected the sky and moored boats perfectly.
As I walked, people jogged and cycled past, all in a hurry to get somewhere, or get fit. I just wanted to log up the steps on my new smartwatch and take some photos as I went.
In about half an hour, I reached where the main road crossed the lake via a bridge, and I guessed, rightly, that I needed to turn into the city to go past the railway station. Up a side street, past a posh hotel wjere a concierge was dressed in top hat and cape, sweating buckets, because impressions are everything. Up to the main street beside the station. I cross by the road bridge so I could see the ICE expresses come and go, but really was already too hot for standing in the open sun.
It was nine, and I was thirsty, so I go into Starbucks to by an iced latte, and site under an umbrella watching the city wake up, as it was still a little before nine. A young woman, no more than 25 , swigging from a half litre bottle of beer was going round begging for change; she seemed more confused than anything, but she wanders off looking for someone to light a cigarette she had just cadged.
I make the coffee last nearly an hour, then walk down to the Rathaus, past that and along Neuer Wall, past the nearly endless rows of designer shops selling overpriced poorly designed clothes and shoes. None had any customers.

Protesters reflect on another protester’s sun glass.
A protest was organised by Free Media Movement (FMM), Sri Lanka Tamil Media Alliance (SLTMA), Sri Lanka Muslim Media Forum (SLMMF), Sri Lanka Working Journalists Association (SLWJA), Federation of Media Employees Trade Union (SLMETU),Media Movement for Democracy (MMD) and South Asia Free Media Association (SAFMA).Nearly 47 journalists from Colombo traveled to Jaffna by A9 highway to show solidarity. They condemned the brutal assault by protesting in front of the Sri Lanka Transport Board bus stand in Jaffna on 16th of August 2011. It was a rare protest for the Peninsula people to witness. “ஏதாவது பிரச்சினையோ?” ~ “Is there any problem?”, “என்ன பிரச்சினை?” ~ “What is the problem?”, “இங்கை என்ன நடக்குது?” ~ “What is happening here?” a few onlookers, passers ~ by and shop keepers asked me while the protest was getting underway on a balmy day in Jaffna. “இங்கை உண்மையா என்ன நடக்குது? ~ “What is actually happening here” asked the owner of a newly built restaurant, while I was running to the restaurant roof top to capture the moments on my camera.
There was chaos as the protesters arrived in Jaffna town with placards in Tamil. Police in the vicinity came closer and asked them not to block the traffic. Verbal argument took place between the Police and the protesters. But the protesters kept chanting and walking. The traffic came to a standstill for a couple of moments, as the protesters took the space on the mot busiest road in Jaffna, the Hospital road while carrying the placards in Tamil ~ “யாழ்ப்பாண ஊடகவியலாளர்களுக்கு யார் பாதுகாப்பு?” ~ “Who is responsible for the lives of the journalists in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரம் பாதுகாக்கப்பட வேண்டும்” ~ “Media freedom needs to be protected”, “எப்போ முடியும் யாழ்ப்பாணத்தில் அடக்குமுறைகள்?” ~ “When will the suppression come to an end in Jaffna?”, “ஊடக சுதந்திரத்தைப் பாதுகாக்க ஒன்றுபடுவோம்” ~ Let’s unite to protect media freedom”, “குகநாதனுக்கு விழுந்த அடி உண்மைக்கு விழுந்த பேரிடி”~ Assault on Kuganathan is an assault on the Truth, “ஊடகத்துறைக்கு எதிரான அடக்குமுறையை ஒழிப்போம்” ~ Eradicate Suppression Against the Media” “ஊடகத்தின் மீதான தாக்குதலை உடனே நிறுத்து” ~ “Stop Attacking the Media Immediately”, “ஜனநாயகத்தின் குரலை ஒடுக்காதே” ~ “Don’t Suppress the voice of Democracy”, “தேர்தலில் தோற்றவர்களா மண்டையைப் பிளந்தார்கள்?” ~ “Did they split the head those who lost the elections?”
The protesters chanted “Let Us Write”,“Continue; Continue; Continue to Write”,“Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill; Do Not Kill Us; Do Not Kill the Journalists, Do Not Kill the Democracy”,“Uthyan was attacked, but nobody was arrested”, “Bring the culprit to the courts”“Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack; Do Not Attack the Media”, “Take Your Hands Off Media”“Stop; Stop; Stop the Suppression” “Kuganathan; Kuganthan who wrote the plight of the people”, “Kuganathan was attacked with Iron rods”,“Kuganathan; Kuganathan; Keep Writing, “Lift the Emergency Immediately” in Tamil and Sinhala. There were nearly 350 journalists, activists and politicians participated in the protest according to the organisers.

My newest photo project - Parking lot Jetsam.
We all park and go to the stores or...; so when not checking out vanity license plates, I looked for interesting discarded items on the ground.
In the Meijer's Supermarket Parking
At the right place, at the right time, selling the right stuff. Popsicles that is. Tulum, Mexico. SOOC.

This image reminds me of Aphex Twin's “Come to Daddy” video by Chris Cunningham.
It shows the effect of vertical refresh rate in a CRT (as a blank horizontal band). And what's more interesting, the moiré patterns that appear when your digital photo camera downsamples the image. (Next image shows what moiré patterns are).
Blossom World’s Home Refresh Series 5 was concluded on 28 September, Saturday! Our cleaning and painting quest continues in the Western part of Singapore, specifically in Bukit Batok and Jurong West.
Thank you to all volunteers of diverse backgrounds for coming here today with the #SpiritOfCaring to our beneficiaries in fostering social cohesion and multi-generation interaction in the Bukit Batok and Jurong neighbourhoods.
Once again, we would like to show our appreciation for the support by Jurong Central, Bukit Batok & Bukit Batok East IRCCs, South West CDC and Bukit Gombak Grassroots Organisations towards our youth-led initiative. Special thanks also go to Mediacorp Cares group, NP Leo Club, NYP Community Service Club, SP Swimming Club, NP Rotaract Club, SP Student Union, SUTD Rotaract Club and SP String Ensemble.
"Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness."
