In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 Japanese to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps.
On October 9, 1990, a ceremony was held to present the first reparations checks. Nine elderly Japanese received $20,000 each and a formal apology signed by President George H. W. Bush. Payments to surviving internees or their heirs continued until 1993, Clinton Administration.
This is one of my first digital photographs. I’m standing on the ground of the Topaz Internment Camp, where Japanese and Japanese Americans who resided on the West Coast were relocated and interned during World War II. The land is isolated and harsh, sealed off by walls of mountains to the west.
I was experimenting with taking digital photographs on trips while phasing away from SLR film photography. I was not pleased with the quality of the photos with this point-and-shoot digital camera compared to my old Nikon SLR film camera, but digital was convenient.

Ermine, living underneath our house is always a good thing. They keep the rodent population down, plus I get to see the adorable kits if I am lucky. On this particular day, I watched as they were hauled out from under the house and whisked away across the lawn and driveway to the safety of an old tree stump.
Toujours partants pour un petit tour de capsule spatiale ! La journée a commencé avec un tour de piste, à proximité de l’ISS (une soixaine de mètres), pour changer de place de parking (Shane a maintenant sa chambre à l’étage, sur le dessus de l’ISS, plutôt que sur le devant). C’était agréable (et une très sérieuse opération) d’enfiler nos scaphandres et de réaliser toutes les procédures de départ… mais pour mieux revenir, il n’est pas encore temps de rentrer !
A good day to take our spacecraft for a spin! Just a short trip around the block, to re-dock to the zenith Space Station port and free up the forward parking spot for upcoming spacecraft, yes, there’s a lot of traffic up here! It felt good to put on our spacesuits and leave the International Space Station… just for a little while, it’s not time to go home just yet. 😃

On October 25 two historic street cars switched places at the workshop owned by Stichting De Nieuwe Blauwe Tram.
Amsterdam trailer 754, that was restored the past few years, returned to Amsterdam. Its place was taken by Amsterdam open trailer 606, that will be restored the next few years. Both historic cars are owned by the Amsterdam Museum Tram (EMA in Dutch).
Work on the NZH A619/A620 is progressing rapidly.
Since my boyfriend moved in with me in January the closet/doll room was reassigned as his computer room/ mancave. Since my house is not that big, all of the dolls now live in the living room. It is kinda nice that i can now see them from the couch when i watch t.v.

This brown chafer (Serica brunnea) had taken a wrong turn somewhere and was crawling around inside my house when my wife found it.
So with the camera in my other hand, I brought it outside into the garden and placed it on a random pink flower for an impromptu photo session and this one came out better than expected.
When driving to Elgol to passed this old church ruins with a beautiful snow-capped mountain behind and just had to stop and photo it.
Cill Chriosd (Christ's Church or "Kilchrist") is a ruined former parish church of Strath , on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It was constructed around the 16th century, replacing an earlier Medieval church on the same location, and was used until 1840 when the Parish church was relocated to Broadford. It lies on the B8083 Broadford to Torrin and Elgol road.
The ruins of the church lie at the top of a small mound, surrounded by the graveyard. It has been described by Miers as "The long, low, rubble ruin of the post- Reformation parish church of Strath has roughly dressed quoins and jambs, and a balustraded burial enclosure added to the east gable in the early 18th century for the Mackinnons."
The church doorway, in the south wall, has splayed jambs and check and square sconsions. The south wall also has three windows, with check and inward splay; the east gable has a similar window, which is now built up. The insides measure 52 feet 9 inches (16.08 m) by 17 feet 6 inches (5.33 m). The side walls are 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and 2 feet 3 inches (0.69 m) deep, with the gables 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 m) in thickness. The church is 30 degrees from due east-west, and has no openings in the north and west walls.
The church is the remains of the parish church of Strath, including the cleared villages of Boreraig and Susinish.
The location is thought to have a heritage of Christian worship dating back to the 7th century, when St Mael Ruba preached from nearby Cnoc na-Aifhreann ("hill of the mass"). The original Parish church for Strath was located at Ashiag, and was founded by St Mael Ruba in the 7th Century AD; the new parish church was relocated to this location in the later Middle Ages. The present ruined church probably replaced the first medieval stone church in the 16th century. Written records for the church date back to 1505, although the earliest records only give a list of the names of the ministers. In 1505 the chaplain Kenneth ("Kensoch") Adamson succeeded John MacGillebredison, before being replaced by John Johnson, and then John Ronaldson in 1508 after Johnson's death.
On 19 June 1627, Neil Mackinnon became the first Protestant minister of the church, however he "is remembered primarily for his meanness and his greed". During his appointment ceremony he 'gave his grite and solemn oath that he all treulie according to his knowledge, give up the Clerk of Councell the names of all the Papists he knew within the Isles'. It is recorded that he only allowed his workmen one meal on Sundays (rather than two, as for other days) as they were resting. However, one Sunday two hungry workmen waited until after MacKinnon had finished preaching and had left the church before setting to work with their foot plough. Following this, the preacher allowed them two meals every day.
Cill Chriosd was replaced by a new parish church in Broadford in 1840.
Records from 1913 show that there were a pair of unusual gravemarkers in the graveyard - one dedicated to Chief Lachlan Mor and carrying "obscure hieroglyphics", the other possibly dating from the pre-Christian era. However, both have since vanished. Most graves are connected to Clan MacKinnon, and are from the 18th and 19th centuries. One memorial, in the inner wall of the burial enclosure, is for "Charles Third", who was apparently born in Corry near Broadford as a MacKinnon but later died in Australia after emigrating. A worn medieval slab carved with an ornate cross is located in the south corner of the graveyard.
The churchyard also has an amorial stone, as well as a possible fragment of the necking and lower arms of a crude cross, with one side plane and the other side bearing two animals carved into a relief on the lower portion. The graveyard also contains a slab of slate with a foliated cross, with one side preserved but the other side worn away.

Cuteness overload. Red squirrel (Eurasian squirrel) relocating at least 4 youngsters from one tree to another. First attempt to jump did not work out, so it is climbing down and up with the precious load.
During WW2 Retford train station in Retford, Nottinghamshire was on a busy railway junction, many WVS volunteers passed through the station and used its facilities, at its peak between 1940 and 1946, the station kitchen served over 1,000 meals per day.

The builders of the PGE began the line from North Vancouver to Prince George in 1913 not knowing it would take more than 40 years to complete and connect it's several sections to the railway. PGE was taken over by the provincial government in 1918 after financial problems and only became profitable in 1980 by which time it was known as B.C. Rail.
The city bought the station in 1971 and relocated it to Mahon Park. It was returned to its old site in 1997 and its old railway tracks are now being used by CN (which bought B.C. Rail in 2004) They are now in a tunnel below Esplanade Avenue.

Prior to draining and desilting the pond on Feltham Green, the fish are being relocated. I saw some small fish being removed but was too late to see the big ones.

Rode around with a friend this past Saturday trying to get a few captures for his website.
I plowed snow myself for 4 years, so it's nice at this point to be able to enjoy a snow storm for it's beauty instead of burning myself out.
