Sometimes, we choose a hike not for it's elevation gain or views, but for its wildflowers. And while the wildflowers were amazing, we encountered a family of Marmots, a family of Chipmunks, and several interesting butterflies as well. We walked just around 14 km's, gaining about 750 m's altogether.
This is a photograph from the SSE AIRTRICITY Dublin Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday 26th October 2015 at 09:00.The Dublin Marathon has been held annually since 1980. The marathon course starts at Fitzwilliam Square in the city center and finishes at Merrion Square. For the past number of years there have been some changes to the configuration of the route at the start and finish due to traffic and transportation infrastructure work around the city center. However the majority of the race proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction around the city passing through the Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Inchicore, South Circular Road, Walkinstown, Terenure, Clonskeagh, UCD, Stillorgan Dual Carriage Way, Ballsbridge and finishing up Northumberland Road and Mount Street. As always the organisation is first class and this seen just under 13,000 people complete the marathon course.
The weather conditions were not very good for marathon running with runners facing race and windy conditions around much of the course.
Overall the poor weather conditions did not make for very good photographic conditions particularly around the start and finish area where it was a little darker around the tall buildings and streets.
The full set of photographs from the start and the finish are available at our Flickr set for Dublin Marathon 2015 https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157658064057124

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.

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
Sometimes you just get lucky!!!
Especially as I had my kids with me, what a great sighting for them.
For me the point of making these particular types of Kinetic Photographs is that the camera is not in my hands or under my control when the photograph is actually made. I set the camera’s self-timer, throw the camera into the air (sometimes as high as 15 feet or higher), the shutter releases—capturing the photograph—while the camera is airborne, and I hope that I catch my camera without dropping it. The photographic cycle is complete and all that remains is for me to upload my shots and see what has been captured and how. I upload most of the photos in the same orientation in which they were captured.
None of these photos are Photoshopped, layered, or composites...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will fail to catch my camera and thus drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and my kinetic photography you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

These poor mannequins. They thought they'd be shilling fancy digs in Bloomingdale's windows; instead they're getting on a truck wearing fetish schmata.
sometimes, after a long week, you sous vide a big ass pork chop, slice it like sashimi, drown it in a spicy mustard sauce, and then drink scotch.

Roma - Coronavirus, Papa Francesco: "Non sprecate questi giorni difficili" - Intervista al pontefice. "Quanto ha scritto Fabio Fazio su Repubblica è vero. I nostri comportamenti influiscono sempre sulla vita degli altri. Ho chiesto al Signore di fermare l’epidemia: fermala con la tua mano. Ho pregato per questo.Ringrazio chi si spende per salvare gli altri. E chiedo che tutti siano vicini a coloro che hanno perso i propri cari".

VATICAN CITY - “During these difficult days we can find small, concrete gestures expressing closeness and concreteness towards the people closest to us, a caress for our grandparents, a kiss for our children, for the people we love. These are important, decisive gestures. If we live these days like this, they won't be wasted.”
Pope Francis spends his days in the Vatican following closely the news on the coronavirus emergency. Two days ago he went to Santa Maria Maggiore and to the church of San Marcello al Corso to pray. He tells la Repubblica what these days are teaching him.
Holy Father, what did you ask for when you prayed in the two Roman churches?
“I asked the Lord to stop the epidemic: Lord, stop it with your hand. That’s what I prayed for.”
How can one live these days so that they are not wasted?
“We must rediscover the concreteness of little things, small gestures of attention we can offer those close to us, our family, our friends. We must understand that in small things lies our treasure. These gestures of tenderness, affection, compassion, are minimal and tend to be lost in the anonymity of everyday life, but they are nonetheless decisive, important. For example, a hot meal, a caress, a hug, a phone call... They are familiar gestures of attention to the details of everyday life that make life meaningful and that create communion and communication amongst us”.
Isn’t it how we always live?
“Sometimes, we only experience a virtual form of communication with one another. Instead, we should discover a new closeness. More concrete relationships made of attention and patience. In their homes, families often eat together in great silence, but not as a result of listening to each other, rather because the parents watch television while they eat, and children are on their mobile phones. They look like monks, all isolated from each other. Here there is no communication, whereas listening to each other is important because that’s how we can understand the needs, efforts, desires of the other. This language made of concrete gestures must be safeguarded. In my opinion, the pain of these days should open us up to this concreteness”.
Many people have lost loved ones, many others are fighting on the front line to save lives. What can you say to them?
“I thank those who give themselves in this way to others. They are an example of this concreteness. And I ask everyone to stay close to those who have lost loved ones, to be close to them in every possible way. Consolation must now be everyone’s commitment. In this respect, I was very impressed by the article Fabio Fazio wrote for Repubblica on what he is learning in these days”.
What, in particular?
“Various passages, but in general the fact that our behaviour always affects the lives of others. He is right, for example, when he says: ‘It has become evident that those who do not pay taxes do not only commit a felony but also a crime: if there are not enough hospital beds and artificial respirators, it is also their fault’. I was very impressed by this”.
How can those who do not have faith have hope in days like these?
“They are all God's children and are looked upon by Him. Even those who have not yet met God, those who do not have the gift of faith, can find their way through this, in the good things they believe in: they can find strength in love for their children, for their family, for their brothers and sisters. One can say: ‘I cannot pray because I do not believe.’ But at the same time, however, he can believe in the love of the people around him, and thus find hope”.

It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air; you can almost hear it. And this bag was just dancing with me, like a little kid begging me to play with it… for fifteen minutes. That’s the day I realized that there is this entire life behind things and this incredible benevolent force that wanted me to know that there was no reason to be afraid ever. Maybe it was a poor excuse I know. But it helps me to remember. I need to remember. Sometimes there is so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it and my heart is just going to cave in.
If I think of how long I will be dead compared to how long I will be alive, and then I take a step back and laugh at the top of my lungs.
I ask myself.. so now Im supposed to take that time and judge somebody's skin colour, sexual preference, religious or political point of views?
Fuck that I have a life to live!
Exercising a critical point of view and coming up with my own conclusions.
Peace to All.
