The card that signifies the essence of your celebrations in the earthiest of manners, this brown colored scroll card has leaf impressions in overall printing as the background. There is a central traditional shaped window in the center with golden outlines. Defining it are golden border and mast designs in true traditional style. The card is stuck round cylindrical bars in red and golden.
The large scrolls of a “Murex” shell emerging from the sand of the long coast of Bahrain, have inspired the Italian architect Giancarlo Zema for the design of the iconic pedestrian bridge connecting the water restaurant with the artificial island that houses the Four Seasons Hotel. A highly sculptural and poetic sign to donate to the city of Manama something more than just a pedestrian link. An ideal place to meet and socialize all day round to enjoy the magnificent and unusual sight in the heart of Bahrain Bay. The sinuous architectural shell made of tubular steel with bright terminals, stretches out on both sides for 250 meters above the water, to a maximum height of 10 meters. The pedestrian pier made of teak has a variable width from 6 to 40 meters and in the middle hosts a charming terrace, equipped with rooftop garden with solar lighting, and a seating area in back-lit stone. In support of the bridge, it emerges an intriguing and elegant rooftop restaurant of 1,200 sqm on two levels, located in the middle of the sea, with a large floating platform of 1,500 sqm, to enjoy suggestive dinners and cocktails outdoor. Usually we hear the shells to hear the sound of the sea, in this case in MUREX – Bahrain Bridge Restaurant will echo the voices and thoughts of the people who work hard every day to give the city a better future development and happiness, the sound of Bahrain Bay. With MUREX project – Bahrain Bridge Restaurant, the city of Manama is enriched with a new icon, for local residents and visitors, that includes a “starred” restaurant, a unique and full of magic place for leisure and business.
Milo is the most recently appointed Partner in Law firm Windsor & Maverick. Hot shot Milo impressed Senior Partner and law firm founder Callum Windsor with his razor sharp intelligence, prodigious ability to digest copious amounts of complex text and his charismatic courtroom style. When Milo was headhunted by a rival firm, Callum offered him a partnership role and an enticing Golden Handshake (enough to make Milo turn down the rival offer) Sergio is new to the firm, just arrived. His fashionable yet quirky style (city pinstripes with mountain hiking/ski boots) and personable charm has made him the office darling. But what the office doesn't know (yet) is that Milo and Sergio are in a long term relationship which started in law school... will they keep it a secret or let everyone know?

Being an obsessive cartography nerd I photographed around the whole thing and threw together a compilation here.

Ian Davies, who I will deem here as the "Teenage Wiz-Kid Birder" expertly led a small group of birders through parts of the Arlington Reservoir and Busa Farm in Arlington Massachusetts.
We saw a long list of bird species, including an Osprey and a Northern Harrier passing through (not photo'd).
It was great practice for me with my new 400 f/5.6 L. I'm quickly learning the rule of thumb that you need at LEAST a shutter speed 1 / focal length to hand-hold. And you often actually need a lot faster shutter speed. Gotta start using the tripod.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 texts from the Hebrew Bible and extra-biblical documents found between 1947 and 1956 on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea, from which they derive their name. They were specifically located at Khirbet Qumran in what was then the British Mandate for Palestine, now the West Bank.

Got some really bad news while finishing this cake: Had to finish the boarder in seconds with my hands SHAKING!
Calligraphy was done first, starting with the cadell.
The wording Lady Katryne chose for this particular piece is based on The German Mass and Order of Divine Service, Jan 1526, by Martin Luther. Script was crafted over Birka weekend (1-31-09), as the assignment had a short lead time. (3 weeks).

All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available offline, free, at no cost, at full image resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort.

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 www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

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).

Auf ein ganz besonderes Experiment lässt sich Sängerin Romy Haag jetzt in ihrer neuen Show ein: Musikalische "Blind Dates" stehen im Fokus eines Projekts, das spannende Überraschungen und echte Entdeckungen bereithält. Denn auf der Bühne wird es zu Begegnungen mit Künstlern kommen, mit denen Romy noch nie zuvor gearbeitet hat, darunter etablierte Sänger sowie Musiker aus dem Underground, neue spannende Namen, die dem Berliner Publikum vielleicht noch nicht bekannt sind und auch Romys ganz eigene Geheimtipps.
Gekonnt spannt Romy Haag dabei den Bogen vom Vertrauten zur Magie des Neuen. Dabei bleibt sie sich stets treu und wird erneut ihrem hohen Anspruch gerecht, einen rockigen, avantgardistischen und unterhaltsamen Abend zu präsentieren.
Romy Haags Konzerte gleichen stets einem bezaubernden Rendezvous. Sie sind ergreifende Begegnungen mit Menschen und Themen, die in den letzten Jahrzehnten das facettenreiche Leben der Künstlerin geprägt haben. Romy Haag ist emotional, persönlich berührend und auch politisch in ihren Songs. Ihre liebgewonnenen und neuen "Lieblingslieder" präsentiert sie jedoch stets ohne reumütigen Blick zurück. Stattdessen sind die Songs geprägt vom Hier und Jetzt.
Ergänzt mit interessanten Anekdoten aus den verschiedensten Stationen ihres aufregenden Lebens, versprechen die „Blind Dates“ zu einer fesselnden Show zu werden.

ROMY HAAG Blind Dates
Singer Romy Haag is now embarking on a very special experiment in her new show: Musical "blind dates" are the focus of a project that holds exciting surprises and real discoveries in store. Because on stage, there will be encounters with artists Romy has never worked with before, including established singers and musicians from the underground, exciting new names that may not yet be known to Berlin audiences and Romy's very own insider tips.
Romy Haag skillfully spans the arc from the familiar to the magic of the new. In doing so, she always remains true to herself and once again lives up to her high standards of presenting a rocking, avant-garde and entertaining evening.
Romy Haag's concerts always resemble an enchanting rendezvous. They are poignant encounters with people and themes that have shaped the artist's multifaceted life over the past decades. Romy Haag is emotional, personally touching and also political in her songs. However, she always presents her cherished and new "favorite songs" without a rueful look back. Instead, the songs are characterized by the here and now.
Supplemented with interesting anecdotes from the various stages of her exciting life, the "Blind Dates" promise to be a captivating show.

Let the ground shake and the mountains tremble at the words of His Majesty Logan Ebonwolf, inspired by the wisest under the Eternal Blue Sky, Rowan Berran McDowell, Queen. All those who dwell in felt tents and foreign strangers pay heed that we wish to recognize Chagan Khulan for her loyalty and service. She brings much honor to her Khan and our Crown with her profound knowledge of Mongol culture, customs, and art which she freely spreads to people throughout many Lands.
To this end, with much rejoicing, We do induct her into the Order of the Pelican.
