I was sitting in my car waiting for my grand-daughter to come out of the hall where she was at her dancing class. When the security light came on it made patterns on the car door as it shone through the rain on the car window.
The 2022 : one photo each day group has chosen Doors for Week 9 of the weekly theme.
George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an Academy Award-winning American director, writer, actor and producer for film, stage, radio and television. Welles first gained wide notoriety for his October 30, 1938 radio broadcast of H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. Adapted to sound like a contemporary news broadcast, it caused a number of listeners to panic. For above and more, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Welles

“In short, it’s necessary to become free concerning perceptions and feelings; neither to cling to them nor to reject them. Ultimately their presence in prayer depends on the teaching method of God. Sometimes the Lord grants perceptions and feelings to inspire us and help our weakness. Sometimes God takes them away to help us mature, purify our prayer, and grow in faith, hope, and love for God.” by Segundo Galilea in Temptation & Discernment (1996 ICS Publications, Institute of Carmelite Studies, Washington, D.C.) translated by Stephen-Joseph Ross, O.C.D.

I guess they are trying to tell me something???
If there's a story to my day today, then it's about making this scene happen.
I started with a walk, then at about ten got straight into wrestling with drills, cables and conduit.
Since the cabin went in, the lighting in the garden has needed some changes. I wanted to make the route from the kitchen nice and bright, but without using a really high mounted monstrous floodlight that would rile the neighbours.
The solution was pretty easy. I've put up three tiny little 10W LED floodlights. They're really small, not much bigger than those big packs of "cook's matches", but they do pack a punch. And of course, running at 40 milliamps you can fit several and not worry about energy costs.
Like I said, I started at ten, and started putting tools away at two thirty, though I was then another hour after that with my old man doing the connecting up.
I'm not a naturally gifted DIYer and work very, very slowly.
Nevertheless, I'm delighted with the results. :)
Our side is all apartments while the opposite side, as you can see, is the swankier side.

STERILE AREA –
RAF Barnham Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility was heavily secured and at the time was probably one of the most secure locations in the United Kingdom. The security element was the responsibility of the RAF Police (RAFP). Personnel from differing operating periods at RAF Barnham have stated that there were up to three varieties of RAF Police specialisations working at the site: 'Provost' 'Station' and 'Qualified Police Dog' (dog handlers).
As well as a standard outer fence and main gate picket post, the facility included an inner perimeter fence and within that an inner concrete wall with another picket post. The area between these two latter perimeters was classed as ''sterile'', with trip wires and flares in the gap between them and atop the wall, to alert the guard force to intruders. Pole-mounted lighting was positioned at regular intervals within the sterile area and halfway between the towers was a V-shaped bulge in the fence to allow patrolling guards the ability to look up and down the fence line from a small path that ran within the area. A telephone post was located at these bulges.
Two electric sliding gates at the outer and inner fence and a traditional style split middle wire gate acted as ''vehicle traps'' for any vehicle driving in or out. At the front sliding gate was a personnel turnstile controlled by the RAFP guardroom. At the rear sliding gate was personnel access to the inner picket where flammables and other contraband (matches, cigarettes, lighters etc) were surrendered before entering the ''Danger Area''.
RAFP Dog Handlers patrolled the site and the RAFP station staff manned the watch towers and pickets. The area between the outer and middle fence was patrolled by the Dog Handlers, with elements of the outer perimeter reportedly just spools of barbed wire.
Five Watch Towers, one at each point of the pentagonal fence, were located on the inside of the middle fencing when the site was decommissioned. These were accessible along the path within the sterile area near the fence line, some elements of which are still visible under the moss and foliage. A 6th vantage point was located on the maintenance building towards the centre of the compound. Each tower could see the others at the time of operational use (trees get in the way now) and were fitted with searchlights at a third of the way up and right at the top, possibly similar to those used on ships. It has been reported that the angle of the lights had to be limited as the Officer Commanding RAF Lakenheath had made complaints that his pilots were getting dazzled by RAF Barnham's watch towers.
The existing tall metal towers were believed to have been installed in late 1959/early 1960. Prior to this there were wooden ones, described as being pretty basic and about 15ft high, with a base around 6ft square with a large searchlight mounted in the centre which could be swung almost 360° in either direction. Access was reportedly by a wooden ladder and there was a single railing round about waist height. There was a field telephone at the top of the ladder and ''special'' binoculars were issued. The platforms were in roughly the same positions of the new towers but on the inside of the concrete path. It has been reported by another source that when the new towers were built, the fences had to be modified to accommodate them, via a U-shaped cut-out, visible on the site today.
A former RAFP Dog Handler stated that before being posted to Barnham, you and more importantly your dog had to gain at least 90% in exams/tests, meaning they had some of the best personnel and animals in the trade. In comparison, the RAFP Station staff stated that they received no special training as such for the role. They did get sent on a special security course, but that it was of little relevance or use to RAF Barnham. They simply classed it as another security related job. Some have stated that they spent a lot of time on the range, with many of the Police being marksmen. It has been reported that the RAFP were issued automatic 9mm pistols towards the end of the site's operational period, replacing the Smith and Wesson .38 that had been in common use.
The shift pattern recalled by most RAFP personnel spoken to consisted of 9 consecutive shifts comprising 3 evenings (1500-2300), 3 midnights (2300-0700) and 3 days (0700-1500) which would then be followed by 2 days off. Approximately 14 Station staff were on shift, comprising of one Sergeant shift controller, one Corporal deputy shift controller and 12 others, some made up of National Service personnel. Therefore, with an off duty shift, this meant a guard force of around 56, plus all of the ''X'' flight staff (the term used for those involved with the weapon convoys), which had around 14 personnel. It was usually an hour on and an hour off on the old wooden watch towers. The Dog Handler shift patterns were (1800-0000) and (0000-0600), with no day patrols, around 8 dogs were on site at a time.
This and other RAFP sources have said that the security personnel knew very little about the goings on inside, even with the vantage points of the towers. It is reported that all movements were specially screened to be hidden from view, with even the large bombs themselves sheeted. One RAFP officer had even reported as quipping to a convoy commander about ''another glider'' coming in, making reference to the similarity between the ''Blue Danube'' pantechnicon and a glider trailer.

A Greater Manchester Police inspector of the South Manchester Division with a low energy bulb.
The Force has been handing out the bulbs to encourage residents to leave a light on when they go out to increase home security.
For further home security information visit our website.
Today's story is about a little bit of DIY. There's a security light at the back of the driveway which has been blown for literally years.
When I was clearing the cellar room I chanced across a small security light fitting with the right bulb in, so I swiped the bulb to swap out today.
As it goes, I couldn't get the case open as the screws were welded shut, so I replaced the whole fitting.
Among my manifold DIY skills is an enviable, even unparalleled talent for dropping critical screws in unfortunate places.
Today's place was the pile of soggy dead leaves you can see in the bottom of the picture.
As you can imagine, rummaging through that lot wouldn't be a whole pile of fun, so it was science to the rescue!
Dead leaves tend not to be attracted to magnets. Screws do tend to be. It took a few sweeps, but the trust magnet on a long bar did the business for me.
You'll be unsurprised to learn that this isn't the first time it's got me out of trouble. ;)
Greater Manchester Police is urging residents to avoid the nightmare of being burgled this autumn by remembering to leave a light on.
Statistics show say that offences of burglary are continuing to fall across Greater Manchester. However, people need to be particularly on their guard at this time of year as dark afternoons and evenings can provide extra cover for criminals seeking out homes to target. Leaving a light on can keep burglars guessing on whether your home is occupied and encourage them to give it a wide berth.
Research involving interviews with convicted burglars supports this simple tactic as an effective deterrent to thieves.
Leaving a low-energy light bulb on mid- afternoon to late evening when you are out can cost just couple of pence per day.
Visit our web pages on home security for more information.

Greater Manchester Police is urging residents to avoid the nightmare of being burgled this Halloween by remembering to leave a light on.
Officers say that burglary is continuing to go down. Latest figures shown a 10 per cent decrease in the six months between April – September this year when compared to the same period last year meaning 1,004 fewer victims of this crime.
However, they warn that people need to be particularly on their guard at this time of year as dark afternoons and evenings can provide extra cover for criminals seeking out empty homes to target. Leaving a light on can keep burglars guessing on whether your home is occupied and encourage them to give it a wide berth.
Recent research involving interviews with convicted burglars supports this simple tactic as an effective deterrent to thieves. It is also cheap and environmentally friendly as leaving a low-energy lightbulb on mid- afternoon to late evening when you are out can cost less than a penny a day.
Detective Superintendent Mark Bell who leads Operation Storm, Greater Manchester Police’s fight against burglars, robbers and thieves said: “Burglary is a distressing crime that deprives victims of valued possessions and can leave them feeling frightened and vulnerable in their own homes.
“Summer crackdowns this year saw more than 1,000 burglars, robbers and thieves being arrested. Criminals and residents can be assured that we will be continuing this level of activity into the autumn and winter months.
“Halloween, Bonfire Night and the clocks going back can all lead to an increase in burglaries as thieves use the cover of darkness to target empty homes when people go out for the evening.
“Leaving a light on, using timer switches, setting your burglar alarm and shutting and locking all doors and windows could save you coming home to a nasty shock.”
Suspicious activity can be reported to police by calling 0161 872 5050, online at www.gmp.police.uk or through Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Always call 999 in the case of an emergency, where there is a threat to life or a crime in progress.
A transformation of the annoying security light outside, taken last December. Amazing what you can do with a sheet of paper, an annoying light, and condensation on the window - very "Blue Peter home experiment" in style!

This is the second of the two pictures (out of six) that did not make the final cut for my column in the magazine. I posted the photograph that did not have the name of the sim and slurl type faced on.
This sim is amazing, and I LOVE every corner. It was so very difficult to chose a spot, but when I saw this, it was perfect and I knew I found the right one.
This is the photo of the two that (I feel)definitely needs in for integrity reasons, and I am going to ask for a correction and to have it (the slurl/name one) put in this upcoming issue.

I'd just nodded off when one of my lodgers came home. She was absolutely silent but the security light woke me. Perfect opportunity for this shot!

I figure sticky & scratchy shrubbery were chosen for the site as part of a package of graffiti-abatement measures — but must those who merely wish to innocently touch the gas meters be drawn into the same preëmptive punishments?

Went on a little road trip. Visited Kirksville, MO, as well as a few little towns along the way and back. Didn't have any specific goal in mind other than to go somewhere I hadn't been before and take some pictures.
I got curbside pickup of some grilled salmon on the way home, which was disappointing.
I have seen this road sign a couple of times on flick r it was originally on a wall at the cross roads opposite Hartest institute i can remember it in the 40's & s50's.
I am not sure if you could get from Hartest green to either Londons marble arch or charing cross which are supposed to be the destination in sixty four miles

I teach a night class on Monday night that goes until 9:30. Often by the time I get through talking with students, answereing questions and such, I am not back in my office until 10 or so... then I have to often check email, organize for the next day, whatever various chores need to be done before I go home... so I often do not leave until much after my class is over... by the time I leave.... I am usually keeping my eyelids open with toothpicks... Tonight I just briefly stopped at the security light to take my SP before I went to my car. I had no idea how they would turn out, but I was so tired, I just went with it... it was all I had..... I was surprised at some of the results... and... as it always seems to go... when I think I "got nothin'"... is when end up having a hard time deciding.... so... mutliple posts on this one.... maybe they will get widdled down as the days go on....
for FGR : "Single Source Club" is M i k e B's pick today... my source of light was my security light shining in through the windscreen when returning from Macca's (McDonalds) - I had tried the drive thru sign, but it just wasn't doing the job...
why did I go to McDonalds? To get a prop for my shot in the car... you'll all know what that movie quote is.. and that's for Dave T's pick for TRP for today "Movie Quotes"
In New Zealand we have the metric system and have done since.. well, since long before I was born... but we know what a Quarter Pounder is... and we dropped the 'with cheese' part, because honestly, who would have a Quarter Pounder without cheese?!
This was my first real attempt at HDR. I took 8 exposures ranging from 4 seconds down to about 1/16th of a second and used "Merge To HDR" in Photoshop.
I then made a feathered selection around the tree and darkened the rest of the image.
I'm quite pleased that I managed to capture far more tonal range than my eyes could!

Or at least good enough for downtown Muscatine!
Do authorities just look the other way when it's a basket crane that's violating a no-parking zone, vs a car or truck.
This boom lift is casting a short shadow so maybe it's lunchtime and maybe that's why it looks abandoned right now: Its operator has gone off someplace to eat a sandwich.
