The is a photograph from the third running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") which was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 13th September 2014 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The event has grown from just over 600 in 2012, to over 900 in 2013 with around the same number finishing in 2014. Entry to the race closed weeks in advance.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the start and finish of "The Flatline" 2014. The URL of the main set is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647516503901. This photoset contains photographs of the start (at the 600 meter mark) and then of the finish (at the 400 meter mark to go) up to a finish time of about 1:45.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 850 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost too warm for running which is a very rare complaint in Ireland. The runners were bathed in hot September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a cooling.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

URBANE PSYCHONAUTEN
Vergleichbar mit einem Astronauten, der sich in die Weiten des Weltraums begibt, reist ein Psychonaut in die Tiefen der eigenen Psyche. Die imaginäre psychonautische Landkarte schließt dabei als Pole eines kaum zu überblickenden inneren Raumes beglückende Bereiche und bedrohliche Abgründe mit ein.
Meist sind die psychonautischen Reisen für Außenstehende nur schwer nachvollziehbar. Manchmal entsprechen sie dem Durchschreiten eines durchlässigen Spiegels. In anderen Momenten finden sie auf grauen Betonmauern einen kreativen Ausdruck.
Die individuelle Motivation für den gezielten Übergang in einen transzendenten Bewusstseinszustand kann sehr unterschiedlich sein. Verbindend ist vielfach die Sehnsucht nach der Erfahrung des inneren Fließens, wie es beispielsweise während eines Trance-Tanzes oder einer sexuellen Verschmelzung empfunden werden kann.
Es ist jedoch ein Trugschluss zu glauben, dass es möglich ist, sich diesem inneren konkreten Utopia auf einer rein persönlichen Ebene anzunähern und dabei die gesellschaftliche Realität zu verdrängen. Über die momentane Erfahrung hinausgehend ist ein Freiraum notwendig, der in der Wechselbeziehung zwischen persönlicher Entwicklung und gesellschaftlicher Veränderung wurzelt.
Das konkrete Utopia als ein Ort auf der psychonautischen Landkarte wird erst dann erfahrbar, wenn es gelingt Vision und Realität konsequent miteinander zu verbinden.

URBAN PSYCHONAUTS
Like an astronaut who travels through the vastness of outer space, a psychonaut travels to the depths of his or her own psyche. The imaginary psychonautical map comprises the poles of an almost incomprehensible inner realm containing pleasing areas as well as dangerous abysms.
Mostly it's not possible for an outstanding person to follow such psychonautical journeys. Sometimes they are like a flow through a permeable mirror. In other situations they find on concrete walls creative expressions.
The individual motivation for a well directed transition into a transcendental state of consciousness and thus a psychonautical journey may vary largely. A connection is often found in a subliminal level in the search of a concrete inner utopia as a place on the psychonautical map, which detached from external repressive structures and inner emotional blockage opens a feeling of flowing.
A fundamental first step on the long way is realizing that it is possible to approach this utopia through personal practice and social change, as distant and suppressed as it may seem from the outside. We may reach the stars, but only if we really try.

Vom 07. bis zum 09. November 2014 ist das innerstädtische Berlin von der Bornholmer Straße über den Mauerpark und die Gedenkstätte Bernauer Straße, über den Reichstag, das Brandenburger Tor und den Checkpoint Charlie bis zur East Side Gallery vorübergehend geteilt: Eine Lichtinstallation mit 8000 weißen, beleuchteten und mit Helium gefüllten Ballons auf einer Länge von 15 Kilometer erinnert an die ehemals geteilte Stadt. An Stelen entlang der Strecke konnten die Besucher die Geschichten von Menschen nachverfolgen, in deren Leben die Mauer eine wichtige Rolle gespielt hat. 2 Millionen Menschen besuchten zum Jubiläumswochenende die Lichtgrenze.
Ausgangspunkt der Idee war die Erkenntnis, dass Einheimische wie Touristen sich vor allem für die Berliner Mauer und die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus interessieren – aber nur noch die Hälfte der Berliner die Mauer aus eigenem Erleben kennt. Da lag der Gedanke nahe, die Menschen an die authentischen Orte zu bringen und zu zeigen, wo genau die Mauer 28 Jahre lang die Stadt durchschnitten hat und welche dramatischen Szenen sich dort abgespielt haben.
Die nach einer Idee von Christopher Bauder und Marc Bauder entwickelte Installation ruft durch ihre emotionale, visuelle Kraft die Dimension der Mauer in Erinnerung.

25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall - a light installation with 8000 balloons, Berlin 2014
From 7 to 9 November 2014, inner-city Berlin will be temporarily divided from Bornholmer Strasse to Mauerpark and the Bernauer Strasse memorial, via the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie to the East Side Gallery: A light installation with 8000 white, illuminated and helium-filled balloons over a length of 15 kilometres commemorates the formerly divided city. At steles along the route, visitors could follow the stories of people in whose lives the Wall played an important role. 2 million people visited the border of light during the anniversary weekend.
The starting point for the idea was the realisation that both locals and tourists are primarily interested in the Berlin Wall and the National Socialist era - but only half of Berliners still know the Wall from their own experience. So the idea of taking people to the authentic sites and showing them exactly where the Wall cut through the city for 28 years and what dramatic scenes took place there was an obvious one.
The installation, developed from an idea by Christopher Bauder and Marc Bauder, evokes the dimensions of the Wall through its emotional, visual power.

Heian-Kamakura period, 12th - 13th century
From the Museum's description plaque:
"The teachings of Buddhism state that as people repeat the cycle of life and death, they transmigrate between six realms as either punishment or reward for their deeds. These realms are: hell, the realm of the hungry ghosts, the animal realm, the asura realm, the human world, and heaven.
This illustrated scroll depicts the realm of the hungry ghosts and its tortured inhabitants. This is said to be the realm into which the greedy and immoral people fall. The inhabitants of this realm can neither eat nor drink, no matter how much they may yearn, or have only filth as food, and are tormented by constant hunger, thirst and agony. This work is thought to be a pictoral depiction of the Hungry Ghosts chapter within the Shobonenjo-kyo sutra, which describes the six realms in detail.
In its present state, the scroll lacks text, being comprised of ten adjoined segments featuring illustrations only. At the time of its production, however, it is thought to have included both explanatory text and illustrations of all 36 types of hungry ghosts described in the Shobonenjo-kyo sutra -- or if not, at the very least it is thought to have included more scenes than the present version.
The depictions of the customs of the time through the subjects of the work -- the hungry ghosts -- and the background are vibrant and detailed, and a strong sense of playfulness and wit prevents the work from seeming ghastly. This very playfulness, however, quite conceivably derives from a deep seated fear of falling into the realm and being subjected to its agonies. The painter's skillful representation of the beliefs and elegant pastimes of of courtly nobles, who would have been the target audience of the work, is one of its outstanding features."
-Okimatsu Kenjiro, Curator at Tokyo National Museum

Took part in last years one and managed to get into this years at the last minute (thank you Peter for the reminder!).
Beautiful day, great ride into the city on the scooter and then spent a couple of hours wandering around Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, QUT, the Old Government House, Parliamentary Annexe and the Parliament taking pics.
Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
Scroll down to the first comment or view original size (actions menu, above) to see the stereo illusion.
