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).
The scroll that the tuners will fit into. This was made from a number of pieces of wood, glued together. The shapes were made mostly with a bandsaw and tenon handsaw, with only a little bit of carving.

Stiftsgärten Quedlinburg
Die Stiftsgärten von Quedlinburg besitzen eine mehr als tausendjährige Geschichte. Die Anlagen sind entlang einer städtebaulichen Achse aufgereiht, die sich zwischen dem Burgberg und der Wilden Bode erstreckt und in Blickbeziehungen zum Harzgebirge ihren Abschluss findet.
Der Schlossgarten in seiner heutigen Form wurde in den dreißiger Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts durch die Berliner Gartenarchitekten Paula von Zelevski und Gustav Volkammer angelegt. Die strenge geometrische Grundform des früheren Renaissancegartens wurde aufgenommen und mit neuen Gestaltungsmitteln kombiniert. Der Abteigarten am Fuße des Schlossberges, in der Talniederung der Bode gelegen, wies im 18. Jh. beiderseits seiner auf das Schloss ausgerichteten Mittelachse neben Obstbäumen und Nutzbeeten aufwendig gestaltete Lustparterres auf. Infolge der Auflösung des Stiftes im Jahr 1802 wurde der Garten verkauft und diente fortan dem Erwerbsgartenbau. Als ein Zentrum der Saatzucht erlangte er internationale Bedeutung. Der südlich angrenzende Brühl wird erstmals 1179 als eine Waldung des früheren St. Wiperti-Klosters genannt und fiel im Zuge der Reformation an das Stift. Er wurde im 17. Jh. Als barockes Lustwäldchen gestaltet und im 18. Jh. Um einen landschaftlichen Teil erweitert. 1866 wurde zur Verschönerung der Parkanlage der Gartenarchitekt Eduard Petzold hinzugezogen.
Zu den wertvollsten Ausstattungstücken des Parks zählen die Denkmale für Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock und den Geographen Carl Ritter, beides Söhne der Stadt. Einmalig ist die Bärlauchblüte im Frühsommer im historischen Jagdstern. Mit der Wiederherstellung der barocken Achse durch den Abteigarten im Jahr 2006 ist das Gartenensemble heute wieder als Einheit erlebbar.

The Abbey Gardens look back at over 1000 years of history. They are lined up along an urban development axis which extends between the Burgberg [castle hill] and the Wilde Bode [river] and end with a view onto the Harz Mountains.
The castle garden, in today’s form, was created in the 1930s by the Berlin garden architects Paula von Zelevski and Gustav Volkammer. The strict geometrical shape of the former renaiisance garden was incorporated and combined with new design elements. Situated at the foot of the castle hill in the valley of the River Bode, the Abbey Gardens are grouped around a central axis that emanates from the castle. In the 18th century, this axis was lined with fruit trees and vegetable plots and had parterres (level areas of garden with ornately patterned flower beds) on either side. Following the dissolution of the royal convent in 1802, the gardens were sold and subsequently put to commercial use, quickly gaining international renown as a seed propagation centre. Adjoining the gardens to the south is a woodland park called Brühl. Formerly an area of forest („Broil“) which was first mentioned in 1179 and owned by St Wiperti Abbey, the Brühl fell to the royal convent during the Reformation. The park was built in the 17th century as a baroque wood park and expanded in the 18th century by a landscape part. In 1866, the garden architect Eduard Petzold was called in to improve the grounds.
The most valuable exhibits are the memorials to the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock and the geographer Carl Ritter both sons of Quedlinburg. The wild garlic blossom in early summer in very unique. The restoration of the Baroque axis in the year 2006 extending through the Abbey Gardens makes it apparent to visitors that they form an integrated whole.

The 12th scroll in my Alphabet Challenge: L is for Lion, who never backs down.
Inspired by an image from MS E. 45, f. 172v.
This is a photograph from the 2nd Annual Rock 'n' Roll Dublin Half Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Monday 4th August 2014 at 08:30. The Rock 'n' Roll Dublin Half Marathon also incorporated the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National Half Marathon Championships which was open to all eligible runners registered with an AAI affiliated athletics club. The race started in Dublin City center at North Wall Quay and Castleforbes Road on the Liffey. The route then went West out of the city bringing runners along the famous South Quays to Inchicore and then taking a slight northerly direction into the Phoenix Park. The race finished in the Phoenix Park with runners following over half of the course within the grounds of the famous park. Over 7,000 people took part. The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon series is one of the largest running series in the world with events primarily taking place in North American Cities. However, recently the franchise has spread to Europe. One of the unique aspects of the race is that every course features live bands along the course along with cheering teams of supporters at water stations. In the Phoenix Park today there was a large entertainment area at the Finish line for competitors, families and friends to enjoy.

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.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

In 1997, William McIlvanney led a group of fellow artists on a bus tour round Scotland in the run up to the referendum on the Scottish Parliament. They were listening to local people’s views on the kind of Scotland they wanted to live in after the referendum, whether they were voting Yes or No.
In May 2014 the Bus Party Listening Lugs tour went from Stromness to Stirling visiting 16 venues asking “What kind of Scotland do we want?” Artists included James Robertson, Karine Polwart, Billy Kay, Hamish Moore, Neal Ascherson and David Francis among others.
In April 2015 the Bus Party held a final event at the University of Scotland asking people again 7 months after the referendum "what kind of Scotland do we want?". The Bus Party collection relating to 1997 and 2014 is now held within the SPA archive.
The Scottish Political Archive is housed at the University of Stirling. The archive is home to the oral interviews, personal papers and associated material from prominent Scottish politicians.
