Taken at Lord's cricket ground before the T20 Blast game between Middlesex and Surrey, Thursday July 13th. Though it gave me a chuckle, the lady was right to reserve seats for her friends as the ground slowly filled to a near-capacity 27,205.
Note: The historic Life Saving Station was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. These photos are of all that remains.
What is now the Takanassee Beach Club was originally known as U.S. Life-Saving Station #5. It is a rare survivor from the era of frequent shipwrecks, when sand bars, shallow waters, and winter storms made the waters of New Jersey treacherous to the busy coastwise trade. In 1900 New Jersey contained 42 life saving stations situated three and a half miles apart between Sandy Hook and Cape May. From September to May their crews patrolled the beaches nightly looking for ships at peril. From this root the United States Coast Guard grew, but today only a few of the stations survive.
This property still has its three original buildings, and each, only moderately altered, is an architectural gem. The oldest, a handsome stick style building with prominent decorative trusses in each gable, was built in 1878-79 after a model designed for the 1876 Philadelphia centennial exhibition. The second building is shingle style, designed cica 1897 as living quarters for the life-saving crew. The third building from 1903 lies closest to the beach. It is a one-story, shingled boathouse with a tall square lookout tower facing the ocean. All three of the buildings are the only ones in New Jersey. No other location in the United States retains as many original Life-Saving Service buildings.
Deactivated by the Coast Guard in 1928, it subsequently became the Takanassee Beach Club. Today the former U.S. Life-Saving Station #5, is in need of rescue itself. What no northeaster or hurricane accomplished in 135 years, a developer’s bulldozer could soon achieve. The site is under threat of demolition for a proposed townhouse development, although the project is currently on hold pending environmental review. The prospective builder has only offered to move the buildings.
The buildings of Life-Saving Station #5 are irreplaceable survivors of an earlier at the shore. PNJ thinks preserving them at their original sites through some form of adaptive use should be the highest priority, to avoid losing these unique reminders of our maritime heritage.
Assemblyman Sean Kean organized a forum to discuss the future of the Beach Club property. Those interested in the preservation of the property are working with the Assemblyman to try and secure funds from various resources such as the Green Acres to be able to purchase the property.

Home energy saving kits are now available to borrow at all Dublin City Public Libraries.
The Home Energy Saving Kits have been developed by Dublin's energy agency Codema and contain six practical tools to help the public save energy at home. The items in the toolkits address three key areas of energy use in the home - space heating, hot water and electricity consumption - and can help identify common problems such as lack of insulation, poor ventilation and the appliances in the home that might be driving up electricity bills.

Greenpeace campaigners in London joined forces with a samba band outside the Brazilian Embassy to save the Amazon rainforest. They hoisted a banner saying Save the Amazon and the band played for the embassy staff. The activists were part of a worldwide effort which saw similar activities take place around the world, including Paris, Rome, Berlin, Mexico City and Washington DC. These global activities are aimed to remind Brazils President Dilma Rousseff that almost 80 per cent of Brazilians want the Amazon protected.

One of many old facades around the Christchurch CBD, that're currently secured to stacks of shipping containers...in hopes that "one day" they may be incorporated into the frontage of a new building.

After an eternity of saving, I was able to take advantage of the Nikon FX sale (on the last hour of the last day) and get the Nikon D810 and the AF-S Nikkor 24-70 F2.8.
My first full frame! My first of the Nikon Trilogy lenses (now to save for the other 2).
Of course, Luke was my first picture. It's always about the cats.
P.S. The EXIF Data is slightly wrong. I hadn't 100% set it up. This wasn't taken January 13, 2014. It was taken April 16, 2015 after I unboxed the camera. I've got it all set up now.
