A bevy beautiful Playboy Playmates, models, and girls of golf highlighted the annual event at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. There was also a challenging day of golf. Much fun was had by all.
A tug heads west towards Vancouver after passing underneath the Ironworkers Bridge at Second Narrows. I spied this vantage point while driving home from a previous shoot and decided I had to return the following night for sunset. The bridge is heavily trafficked by vehicles (it is part of the Trans Canada Highway) and has a fair amount of vibration mid-span. You can just make out the other North Shore road connection, the Lions Gate Bridge, in the distance. I was lucky enough to have a tug picturesquely head towards the sunset. Thanks tug dude!
Market Church Hameln
The stemming from the 13th century Lutheran Market Church of St. Nicolai is after the Cathedral of St. Boniface the second oldest church of Hamelin and it forms together with the wedding house the center of the old town of Hamelin.
Historical background and construction history
The foundations of a first previous building have been found in 1957 during the reconstruction of the destroyed during WWII Market Church. These probably stem from a small single-naved, squared chapel with west tower from the first half of the 12th century. In the second half of the 12th century the chapel was converted into a three-aisled Romanesque basilica with transept, whose north- and south side with its arched windows still today have been preserved. Consecrated was the church to St. Nicholas.
After a fire of 1220/1230 was probably erected an early Gothic vaulted basilica and raised the West Tower. 1250-1260 the church then was converted into a hall church, in the process, the tower was again increased as well as the aisles extended and topped up. 1290-1310, the hall eastward has been extended by a fifth yoke and added a polygonal closed apse and a sacristy. Of these, still today the exterior walls, the eastern yokes with the apse and the western North door, the so-called bride portal, with the blessing Christ have been preserved.
After the Seven Years' War the Market Church 1764-1768 received a Baroque interior, new windows and above central and southern side aisle a gabled roof. 1899 the interior was redesigned in the neo-Gothic style. On April 5, 1945, the tower was shot to fire and fell into the nave and the neighboring Town Hall, both of which burned out.
The church was rebuilt in the years 1957-1959 according to plans of architect Eberhard G. Neumann as a basilica with a straight ceiling in central and side aisles which are supported by squared pillars. In the choir and in the two transepts the vault has been left. On the west wall was built a arcuate curved gallery on which the organ stands. On 6 December 1959, the feast of St. Nicholas, the church was solemnly consecrated. 1987 the Market church was thoroughly renovated and redesigned.
Marktkirche Hameln
Die aus dem 13. Jahrhundert stammende evangelisch-lutherische Marktkirche St. Nicolai ist nach dem Münster St. Bonifatius, die zweitälteste Kirche Hamelns und bildet zusammen mit dem Hochzeitshaus das Zentrum der Hamelner Altstadt.
Vor- und Baugeschichte
Die Fundamente eines ersten Vorgängerbaus wurden 1957 beim Wiederaufbau der im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörten Marktkirche gefunden. Diese stammen wohl von einer kleinen einschiffigen, quadratischen Kapelle mit Westturm aus der ersten Hälfte des 12. Jahrhunderts. In der zweiten Hälfte des 12. Jahrhunderts wurde die Kapelle zu einer dreischiffigen romanischen Basilika mit Querhaus ausgebaut, dessen Nord - und Südseite mit seinen Rundbogenfenstern heute noch erhalten sind. Geweiht wurde die Kirche dem Hl. Nikolaus.
Nach einem Brand von 1220/1230 errichtete man wahrscheinlich eine frühgotische Gewölbebasilika und erhöhte den Westturm. 1250–1260 wurde die Kirche dann zu einer Hallenkirche umgebaut. Dabei wurde der Turm abermals aufgestockt, sowie die Seitenschiffe verlängert und erhöht. 1290–1310 wurde die Halle nach Osten um ein fünftes Joch erweitert und eine polygonal geschlossene Apsis und eine Sakristei angebaut. Davon sind heute noch die Außenwände, die östlichen Joche mit der Chorapsis und die westliche Nordtür, das sogenannte Brautportal, mit dem segnenden Christus erhalten.
Nach dem Siebenjährigen Krieg erhielt die Marktkirche 1764–1768 eine barocke Innenausstattung, neue Fenster und über Mittel- und südlichem Seitenschiff ein Satteldach. 1899 wurde das Innere neugotisch umgestaltet. Am 5. April 1945 wurde der Kirchturm in Brand geschossen und fiel in das Kirchenschiff und das benachbarte Rathaus, welche beide ausbrannten.
Die Kirche wurde in den Jahren 1957–1959 nach den Plänen des Architekten Eberhard G. Neumann als Basilika mit einer geraden Decke in Mittel- und Seitenschiffen wiederaufgebaut, welche durch quadratische Pfeiler gestützt werden. Im Chor und in den beiden Querhäusern hat man die Gewölbe belassen. An der Westwand hat man eine bogenförmig geschwungene Empore gebaut, auf der die Orgel steht. Am 6. Dezember 1959, dem Festtag des Hl. Nikolaus, wurde die Kirche feierlich eingeweiht. 1987 wurde die Marktkirche grundlegend renoviert und neugestaltet.
The second week of camp was so much fun and the hot weather didn’t prevent us from enjoying all the wonderful activities. To honor this week’s theme, “Celebrate America,” the campers enjoyed making hand print flag t-shits. Check online for really cute pictures. The children also decorated sandwich cookies with red, white and blue sprinkles. Yum!
This week in Ceramics, The Willows learned how to pound out the clay into circles to make their hand or foot prints. The children were excited to meet, Billy or Rosie, the ponies and all were smiling while riding. Also, the children continued to master their techniques in swimming and can’t wait to demonstrate their skills on visiting day next week. In Woodcraft, the children had fun painting and coloring their wall organizers, All the campers had a terrific time in Mini-Golf, Soccer, Dance, Gymnastics and Tennis and each child has found his/her favorite activities.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday July 11th for our visiting day. Remember to label everything your child brings to camp.
Have a great weekend!

In the game Second Life, I play the avatar Juushika Redgrave.
I needed to take a break and stretch out from my adorable but remarkbly strange (for me) bunny avatar, so I'm back to my usual neko self. This outfit sort of fell together, turning out nothing like I intended, but I like it anyway. The PixelDolls overshirt was the start of the outfit, and I wore it with a skirt from Last Call, now of course retired. I added some shades of purple for some color—through the make up, shirt (from Celestial Studios, tinted), and laces thanks to the wonderful options on these Shiny Things boots. The hair is from ETD, a messy updo which just seemed to be the only hair that fit the look. I'm fond of the monochromatic with a hit of color, and like this style.

The second Q434 to show up on the scene in less than 10 minutes. I missed the first one while hiking up to this spot, but was rewarded with the lash-up on the second train. The first was was delayed by a day and they sent the delayed train up right ahead of the on time train. The crews where calling off as Q434-06 and Q434-07 to differentiate themselves.
