Wilbur is photographing a sign at a fork in the trail. The sign says Pebble Creek is .8 miles away and Camp Muir is only 2.7 miles away. Distances are deceptive at this elevation.
Sign was on another building up the street, the original Texas theater, which was burned for the insurance money in the '60s.
HKFP: Thousands gathered at Edinburgh Place on Wednesday evening calling on G20 countries to raise concerns about Hong Kong at the leaders’ summit on Friday, hours after staging a mass march to foreign consulates to lobby country representatives directly.
Crowds wearing all-black spilt out of the public square, many holding signs that read “Free Hong Kong” and “Democracy Now.”
Organisers, the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF), issued a statement urging a withdrawal of the government’s suspended extradition bill.
“If you believe in values like democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law like we do, please, we urge all of you to voice out during the G20 summit, and defend our rights together with Hong Kong people,” it read.
The pro-democracy coalition have led millions on marches over recent weeks against the bill, as demands have evolved into calling for universal suffrage ahead of the July 1 pro-democracy rally.
CHRF manifesto :
"Withdraw the Extradition Bill! Free Hong Kong!
A time when democracy and freedom are universal values that are inviolable.
Hong Kong people had urged for democratisation for over 30 years. When Hong Kong was handed over to China since 1997, as written in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, China promised that Hong Kong can enjoy One Country Two Systems and a high degree of autonomy. The Basic Law also promised universal suffrage to be implemented in the year of 2007 to 2008. But China broke these promises, and gradually intervened deeply in Hong Kong’s internal affairs.
Hong Kong people have always insisted on having universal suffrage – to let Hong Kong people rule Hong Kong. Unfortunately, we seem to be further and further away from genuine democracy. In merely 22 years after the hand-over, the One Country Two Systems principle barely survives. During the [legislative] process of the “Extradition Bill”, the Hong Kong Liaison Office blatantly intervened in Hong Kong’s internal affairs and scrapped the promises of [a] high degree of autonomy.
This year, the government decided to put the Extradition Bill through Legislative Council, in order to make all people in Hong Kong, including local citizens and expats, to be potentially extradited to China, or to countries which have less protection on human rights and the rule of law. This will destroy existing protection on human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong and will crack down the last defence to freedom and safety.
In our current political system, Hong Kong does not have genuine democracy. To stop this evil law from passing, 1.03 million followed by 2 million Hongkongers courageously took to the streets in the past two weeks. Some were even cracked down by the police with excessive, disproportionate force and lethal weapons. But the government only gave a shallow apology, without making any tangible changes.
As world leaders meet at the G20 summit, Hong Kong citizens now sincerely urge all of you, including Xi Jinping, to answer our humble questions: Does Hong Kong deserve democracy? Should Hong Kong people enjoy democracy? Can [a] democratic system be implemented in Hong Kong now?
Dear friends from around the world. I believe you have seen through media and the Internet, that Hongkongers spared no efforts to safeguard our freedom. Please bear in mind: if the Extradition Bill passes, when you come to Hong Kong to travel, study or for business, you may face unfair trials. If you believe in values like democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law like we do, please, we urge all of you to voice out, during the G20 summit and defend our rights together with Hong Kong people."

民陣昨晚在中環愛丁堡廣場舉行集會，有數以千計市民出席，大會以英語、普通話、日語等，呼籲包括國家主席習近平等各國領袖關注香港情况，集會人群擠滿愛丁堡廣場，更擠出大會堂對出的龍和道，警員需封閉東西行車線。
I'm still amazed at how quick Mother Nature changed gears. To recap what I said in my last photo, one week was the difference between 0°F and a deep snow cover to 50°F and plants growing and insects appearing.
This photo is a great example of just that. I found this Lady Bug walking around by my pond. That's a great sight regardless, because I haven't seen a true Lady Bug in years. In the background you can see some of my Lilies starting to grow. Yesterday, I was also surprised to see one of the Bullfrogs that hibernated in my pond. The pond is mostly frozen over but has thawed around the edges so it had just enough room to pop up and get some sun. It was a great sight to see.

One of the chic, retro-looking signs aboard the Disney Wonder. Sure, it's just a restroom sign, but I really like the design, OK?
Unsuitable for heavy traffic, Cross Lane, Bexley. At the other end on the road was a more modern sign in red with upper case plastic white letters.

This photograph of a popcorn maker was taken while sitting at a snack bar in the Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception (aka: the "Exploratorium") in San Francisco, California. These are not two separate photographs. I was actually looking through the glass window of the popcorn maker with this very colorful 'pop-art' (reminiscent of a 'Kieth Haring' work) sign on top.
Did you know that the popcorn machine was invented by Charles Cretors in 1885 and was introduced at the Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) in 1893?? The machine was steam-driven and popped the corn in oil. Prior to his invention vendors had popped corn by holding a wire basket filled with kernels over an open flame. The result was often a hot, dry, unevenly cooked confection. C. Cretors & Co., still owned by the Cretors family, continues to this day to manufacture popcorn machines and other concessions equipment.
One of the amusing signs you see on Annette Street and other roads here. Parking is a competitive sport in The Junction.
