"…the study of world history [is] little more than the study of war."
- Brian Zahnd, UNconditional?
"It shall come to pass in the latter days…that
nations shall beat their swords into ploughshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation;
neither shall they learn war any longer."
- Micah 4 / Isaiah 2
Store front window display at Pieces., 2015 Every Remembrance Day, Sarah & David Gordon have closed their store for the day to honour our veterans, despite the fact that there are a greater number of tourists visiting Steveston on holidays who would be visiting their store and making purchases from their incredible selection of beautiful decor-ware. piecesinsteveston.ca.
Today, on CBC TV's coverage of Remembrance Day 2022, a 98 y.o. veteran was featured who recently helped fight real estate developers who wanted to put in a condo complex on Juno Beach. The Canadian Government pitched in $4M to ensure that that didn't happen, and that the beach, where so many soldiers lost their lives, has been preserved as a sacred site. Lest We Forget....
To Mark the 100th Anniversary of the end of the Great War...and in Rememberance...

The Dunkirk Cemetery's peace and quiet was momentarily broken by the sound of whining traction motors and steel on steel contact. Briefly passing by the resting souls of this small town's hallowed grounds was UP 1943, Spirit of Union Pacific, then leading a highly publicized Q131 on CSX's Toledo Branch.
Some of the headstones in the cemetery included the names and service stars of men and women whom fought in our nations previous conflicts, from Vietnam, all the way back to the Civil War. Even in these small towns, their sacrifices for our freedoms, and way of life, should be remembered. They will not be forgotten.

Fort Minor - Remember the Name

This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name
Hoy se cumplen 2 años del robo con violencia de mi equipo fotográfico. He vuelto por primera vez desde entonces al lugar, y he repetido la última foto que hice con mi anterior cámara, es esta imagen, a mi querida Tula . Su delicado estado de salud me hace suponer que no habrá más recuerdos de esta fecha con ella. Por ello, he sacado fuerzas, he vencido el pánico que aún tengo, y recordar que ella me acompañó en tan triste suceso.

If you are at the Thanksgiving dinner table today, don't bring up politics or religion. You might end up having to leave the table quickly, with your food in your mouth, LOL.
I hope all of you here in the USA have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, I am going to a close neighbor's house for a ham dinner and I am taking a homemade lemon meringue pie. They only live a very short distance from me which is great because my dogs are all getting so elderly I don't like leaving them for any long periods now.
Anyway, have a wonderful day everyone!
Une nouvelle série. Rupture du format carré, pas de titre sinon que "gravé" sur chaque photo les coordonnées GPS "d'un lieu d'un instant revécu". En effet toutes les photos de cette série sont issues de mes 1ères photos faites en 2009 avec un modeste Samsung.
Merci à celui ci que j'ai épuisé, fini avec du Scotch pour son étanchéité ...
et qui m'a offert une "ouverture" au monde !

A new series. Out of square format, no title except that "engraved" on each photo GPS coordinates "a place of reliving a moment." In fact all the photos in this series are from my 1st photos made in 2009 with a modest Samsung.
Thank you for this one I've exhausted, finished with Scotch for his seal ...
and offered me a "window" to the world!
I’m afraid Cinderella is late to the ball and there’s no sign of those mice and their carriage. Looks like I’ll have to pick up my skirts and walk! This is a seriously beautiful satin ballgown from Junbug that you can still get for a few days more from the Enchantment event. If you’ve got any sense you’ll go and buy it!!
Going back 12 years ago, CP tested these RailMate trailers from Superior to the Twin Cities. On this first test run of April 23, 2008, they called a special train to bring the bogies from Superior to Minneapolis. If I remember correctly, these RoadRailer like trailers were loaded with aggregate off the Iron Range, destined for the western suburbs of Minneapolis. I believe this was the only special RailMate train CP ran and subsequent runs of these things were on the regular 482. The RailMates didn't last long and ended up stored along the TC&W at Hopkins for much longer than they ran.
Here is CP 8802 West on the test train, just west of Saunders, WI on April 23, 2008, running as CP 482. I took this shot from the former Soo grade that all Soo Line trains used to take out of Superior. Just ahead this test train will diverge onto BNSF's Hinckley Sub. and run as a southbound to the Twin Cities.
Didn't plan on going out this morning and got up at 6.00 which is late for me and took one look at the sky and knew it was going to be a great sunrise by the look of the cloud formation. I decided to go to the Mt Gravatt Cemetery as it was only a 5 minute drive. I went to visit my dad's grave ....he passed away last September. I lit a candle for him as we always do when we visit him and placed it inside a miniature church which my very talented brother Peter made as a temporary candle holder and thought what a fitting sunrise it was for a beautiful and humble man that will always live in our hearts.
Yiannis Papamanolis RIP
Tizzy was the sweetest gentlest cat. I adopted him when he was already old - his owner had died & Tizzy was terrified in the cattery. He was a wonderful pet. The photo shows him enjoying the sunshine through a window. Sadly he was only with me for just over a year, but I’ve always been glad he was mine for a while.
Happy Caturday.

Another dull morning here - though there is a promise of a blue sky when it can be bothered to show itself...
Rarely seen in these heavily farmed areas, but recalled from childhood hedgerows and meadows. Now they are mainly seen as the flowers of remembrance as Armistice Day approaches. Beautiful and delicate - brightly they shine!

I was riding my bike in Orlando Florida when I seen this mural dedicated to remembering September 11 it was very big on the side of a gas station I took a lot of pictures of it but the eagle was the number one thing I wanted to use I tried to do my best to honor the original mural . Orlando Florida 12/11/20
snowdrops and two twin suns - somehow it looks at leat like that.
sun shine through the bloom.
I used Macro Extension Tube 11mm and the Fujifilm XC. To increase the depth of field aperature moved to f8 and to 31mm.
In the middle distance of this view from the heights of the Launceston City Park we can see a strange object. It is indeed a cannon, a remnant of the Crimean War (1853-1856). It was manufactured in St Petersburg in 1840, and was captured by the British after the siege of Sebastopol (1854-55).
The cannon was awarded to the citizens of Launceston for raising large sums of money to support the war. In fact Lancestonians raised the highest average contribution of any Australian city. The gun arrived in 1860.
It is from cannons like this that the bronze is cast to make Victoria Cross medals for military bravery to this day.
In relation to the Infra Red shot itself, I find that shooting into the sun produces the most interesting (backlit) results.
