Redhill-bound 32 bus stop on the western edge of Albury, named 'Surrey Hills'.
The name seems to be derived from an adjacent house, not the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that the majority of the 32 runs through on its way between Guildford and Redhill!
You can (just about) see the Albury Village sign between the tree foliage.
Chilworth Road, Albury, Surrey.
Europa: Pasajes de Invierno es una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.
Chemsex involves using one or more (specific) drugs to enhance sex.
Taking drugs to deliberately enhance sex is a different kind of recreational drug use, and has specific sexual health risks.
The three main drugs used for chemsex are GHB, mephedrone and crystal meth. Each one has very different mental and physical effects.
Participating in chemsex is never 100% safe, but there are precautions you can take to stay safe and protect yourself from HIV.
If you’ve had chemsex and are worried you’ve put yourself at risk of HIV, get advice from a sexual health professional as soon as you can.
Chemsex (also known as chemfun, party and play or PNP) involves using one or more drugs to enhance sex; it can last for many hours at a time, and often with multiple sexual partners.

I'm starting to purchase some relatively expensive gemstones. I wanted to know how I could be sure of what I was purchasing when there are some misleading trade names and vendors that may not ask as many questions of their supplier as they should.
Calculating the specific gravity of your new sparklies is a good method and can be done fairly inexpensively.

Haleakala Crater hike on Haleakala Crater Hike on 7/9/2019
I caught the first Hawaiian Airlines flight to Maui from Oahu which left at 5:05 am, arrival at 5:44 am.
I took a carry-on duffel bag and a photo backpack ( no checked bags )
Picked up my rental car from Alamo and first stopped at 7-Eleven for water, food and snacks.
Maui Airport has changed. All the car rental companies moved to one central location reachable by tram. Additionally a specific Airport Access road was constructed and in use by this trip.
7:40 am left 7-Eleven for Haleakala.
7:30 am arrived at park entrance. $25 entrance fee by credit card only.
8:00 am arrived at Halemau'u trail head parking lot. Filled my CamelBak bladder with 3L of water, redistributed my equipment and used the bathroom to add a thermal underwear layer for the cold.
8:40 am left the parking lot and went to the Hitchhiking spot to wait for a ride. I was picked up by the 3rd car to come along. A single young male on vacation by himself. As I was grabbing my things to get into his car a mother and young son came up and asked to share the ride. I only waited maybe 5 minutes to catch a ride.
9:00 am arrived at the Summit Visitor Center parking lot. The driver had never been up to Haleakala even after visiting Maui a couple of times before, and he was considering doing a short hike while up there. I would be passed by him and the other hitch hiker about a mile down the trail later.
9:15 am after a short look around at the lookout and tightening up my boot laces, I started on Keonehe'ehe'e ( Sliding Sands Trail )
11:51 am I would get to the bottom of the crater and the trail for Holua cabins or Kapaloa, Paliku cabins. Ate lunch of one Spam musube.
12:06 pm I would start on the trial to Holua Cabin
12:59 pm top of the ascent to "Ka Moa o Pele"
1:24 pm trail juncture on the left of "Halali'i"
2:14 pm Silver Sword loop begin ( did not take the loop )
2:22 pm Silver Sword loop end
3:05 pm Holua Cabin - rested
3:32 pm left Holua Cabin and headed out on Halemau'u trail and the crater rim.
4:13 pm arrived at base of crater rim and the start of the switchbacks up the crater wall. rested and stretched.
4:27 pm started up the crater rim switch backs.
6:56 pm I would reach the flat narrow spot I consider the end of the switchbacks.
7:00 pm the temperature would be 56 degrees and dropping down to 52 degrees ( not including windchill )
7:10 pm Sunset, and I was hiking in dark shadow. Too dark to take meaningful pictures or pics of my watch.
8:00 pm I would reach the Halemau'u parking lot and my car.
8:30 pm I would finish unloading and repacking bags for going to my hotel and possibly doing some astro-photography.
8:45 pm arrive at Kalahaku overlook to check out the possibility of astro-photography. The 50% moon washed out the Milky way too much, stars were visible and I was starting to yawn. So I didn't, and I left at 9:05 pm for Kahului and a shower.
I used up all my water, when I got to my hotel and check, the hydration bladder was flat. Possibly one or two sips left in the tube. This was the 2nd time hiking this trail. Both times I brought a collapsible water bag w/filter to refill water at Holua and did not. If I do this again I really, REALLY need to refill water at Holua cabin.
The weather reports for the previous week were about the possibility of hurricane Barbara hitting the islands the day before my trip. Fortunately Barbara down graded and by the time of my trip and predictions for the summit were somewhat cloudy with occasional showers. While hiking I only encountered a few light drizzle/drops from the clouds that didn't require me to break out any of the rain gear I brought or to stow my cameras from rain.
The weather at the summit was cloudy and approximately 65 degrees with windchill. Along the hike until the ascent up the crater rim at the end, the temperature would not seem as cold as I expected or remember from my previous hike a couple of years ago. Possibly due to my wearing thermal underwear, hiking pants, a medium thick long sleeve athletic shirt beneath a button long sleeve hiking shirt and my broad brimmed hat of course. While moving I felt cool and relatively comfortable temperature wise, while raising a slight glistening sweat. At least it wasn't dripping into my eyes.
Keeping to my expected and normal average hiking pace of around 1 mph or less going down hill and across the flats, I would take pictures about every 1-2 hundred feet of the trail. Boring, but I like to document the trail condition. In addition to any interesting views, scenery or recording the weather.
I kept one of my watches attached to my sleeve so it would not be in skin contact and would mostly dangle in my body shade. This would give me a way of tracking my elevation and mostly the temperature.
There were many more day hikers actually crossing the crater along the same route I was going. Most notable was the mother and son that caught a ride with me. They met up with her husband and other son who caught another ride a bit later.
Probably all the hikers that were crossing the crater caught up to me and passed me, and they all started later than I did. The only people who caught up but didn't pass me were 3 female park rangers on their way to Holua Cabin and pretty much started doing their park ranger stuff in the area where they caught up to me and didn't catch up again.
I was constantly annoyed by the hikers I would see taking short cuts along the trail. I had to remind myself to not get pissy with them. I'm tempted to think the only other hikers on the trail that did not take short cuts were the park rangers I met.
Personally, I started the hike with a kinda sharp lower back pain, which had been ongoing since the previous week. But since this hike was already book and paid for I wasn't going to cancel. All thru the hike my back would be in constant pain and I would continually think I might have to give up hiking if my back doesn't get better. It was most painful going down hill, while the flats and going up weren't as bad.
I was hoping the strain and constant back movement would loosen up my lower back and aleviate my pain. Surprisingly, while getting on my stomach with all my gear still on me, when I got up my lower back was better. The pain would come and go, but could now be aleviated for short periods of time by taking off all my gear and bending over to stretch my back. When I would get home, my lower back pain issues would return to "normal"
Evidently, the dry cold air and constant breeze caused my face and lips to chap, which showed up a day after I got home.
Once again I brought chapstic but didn't use it.

I brought both cameras to reduce the amount of time spent changing lenses and the possibility of getting grit on the camera sensors. Turns out I never changed to the 16-28 so never removed any lens. Yay, no spots in my pictures, Bo, lugged another heavy lens around for nothing. At least I left the 100mm macro in the car already.

We spent the morning in Thira (pronounced Fira) the largest city on the island. No specific destination, just wandering around the back alleys and we walked down about 660 steps to the old port. At the bottom we checked out some of the cave houses, build right into the side of the cliff. Heather went into one and there was a bare chested dude in there cooking spaghetti. He invited her to stay but we passed - bummer. We were dreading the climb back up but Heather had her heart set on a donkey ride. I thought it would cost an arm and a leg but it was extremely reasonable - 6 euros - about $7 US $. Wow! It was actually fun. The donkeys always headed for the shade and if there were people in the way they would plow right into them. We checked out more of Fira and then ambled back to the hotel to rest and relax - what a great day!
I took these photos at the end of September 2019.
In a site-specific installation, Artistic Bokeh presents a collaboration with Georgios Papadopoulos (GR) and Société Réaliste (FR) thematizing the symbolic value of artistic production and its subordination by the valuation of markets.
"There is never enough money, especially for cultural production; but also too much since money and market tend to impose their interpretation of artistic and cultural value. The system of prices organizes an order of meaning, where taste, subjectivity and community are reconfigured according to the mandates and the geopolitics of the market. In this hostile environment, the artist needs to create new possibilities of independence at the same time as she has to survive and thrive, despite the exploitative conditions of employment that more often than not define artistic work. Too Much Money is not the solution. but a tiny a reminder of the poverty of the artist in a system that celebrates (and profits from) the value of art."

Supplied with Enve wheels and rims these rim specific pads work flawlesly. Braking is smooth and ample in the wet but be ready to make frequent pads changes as they last about 1/4 of a regular pad.
This specific automatic door in this crappy picture (located at the Market Mall in Saskatoon) is actually powered by a Stanley panel. However, the sticker with the arrow on it is normally used on doors from Horton Automatics. It looks unusual, because it appears to have been cut from a normal "automatic door - keep moving" decal.

Matter is the great pool from which the physical body is formed. The life process shapes the body into a specific structure and becomes the pathway for consciousness.
An analogy is the light bulb. It is fashioned from metal, wire and glass. This unique shape will allow light to manifest when the correct voltage is applied. Different wire, different glass, different shape, or different voltage and you get a different light or no light at all. It is the same with our bodies, a very specific shape is necessary for consciousness to manifest. Disrupt that shape and consciousness will no longer be possible.
Food is the "electricity" that powers our bodies, raising our energy to a level where consciousness can manifest. Our need for food, and our body heat, are the simple proofs that we are maintaining this higher energy form. Matter-energy is never destroyed only converted from one form to the other. Disrupt the flow of external energy that we call food, and you will drop below the threshold for consciousness, and if disrupted for long enough, you will become food for the next wave of life. Nothing is wasted in this world.
We possess a survival instinct, a desire to maintain consciousness, a desire to continue our existence at this higher energy level. The only food that will maintain a living being is that which was also once alive, that is to say, highly organized organic matter. The process of digestion reduces the organization of the food to an elemental level and in the process, energy is released to maintain the body. So, in the death of another, we are given life. When we realize that life cannot exist without death, then life and death will not seem to be separate processes but just one process. Paradoxically, duality becomes one. Death is your birthright, and a destiny that will not be denied.
We, the living, like a drop of water that has been splashed into the air, shine, and for a time, tremble with life, knowing our individuality. When that drop of water falls back to the ocean, it still exists, it is still the same water, but loses its individuality as it once again becomes part of the whole. So too, when we give up our life, both the physical body and our conscious energy are dispersed back to the whole to be reassembled into the new lives of tomorrow.
The life process will once again refashion this elemental stew into a myriad of new life forms all designed to produce a continuous steam of consciousness, always unique, never to be exactly repeated. This stream of consciousness seems to be a mandate in this world and if a purpose to this world was to be stated, I believe that we would have to say, it is to produce a never ending stream of unique consciousness. This is the harvest from this earthly garden. Who is the gardener?
Two identical life forms have never been created. Indeed, it cannot happen because the mixture is in constant flux. Time is the ultimate safeguard to prevent exact duplication because even if an identical life form was created, it will always exist in a unique time. Every life form is a one-time event, composed of bits and pieces and thoughts of all of the creatures that went before them. This is why a creature in this world does not carry an individual memory of a previous life when it enters this world at birth. All previous lives are reduced and then reassembled into the present wave of life.
Sit quietly in the woods and observe. You will see the life process in action. The seed places a root into the soil. It accumulated matter from the decaying leaves that went before it. Its physical structure allows it to become self-aware and like you, understand itself as an individual being in this world. And after the summer of its life has passed, the matter that composed its body becomes the food for the next wave of life, raising a new life to its own unique level of consciousness. It is a closed system, circles within circles. Life, begets life, begets life.
Remember that by the nature of mixing, you are different from any other creature that has lived, yet kindred to all things in this world, all from the same pool of energy, all from the same matter, continually in motion, continually conscience. As you grow you accumulate matter / energy and when you die you disperse that same energy back into the world, to be used by the next wave of life. You have this moment in time. Respect the world. It is all that ever was, and all that will ever will be. It is your ancestors and it will be your grandchildren. We are mortal and immortal at the same time. Diversity should be celebrated. Every living being is a work of art.

I thought it might be interesting to see all the character exclusive LEGO head molds in one shot.
I had to use a couple extra pieces to get some of the head pieces to stand up.
It's fascinating how many character-specific head designs LEGO have produced over the years.
In this photo, I thought I'd go a little further and photograph every non-standard head piece I have.

The patrol race, specific to the cadet program, is tailor-made for cadets, because it puts more emphasis on teamwork, and on the interdependence between both teammates. Although they have to cover the ski loop at the same pace, they can also take advantage of each other's strengths on the shooting range and in the penalty loops. Indeed, the teammate who has the most difficulty to hit targets, can count on the other to complete the work by hitting his or her targets in crossfire. In addition, if they must ski penalty loops because of missed targets, the one with the greater physical endurance can perform loops, thus giving a break to the other teammate. Or they may share the task. Real teamwork!

A former hairdressers on Arachovis Street forms the context for an installation of “smart” lights programmed according to statutory international working hours. Operating at fixed hours, they take into account the limits to weekly working hours, periods of rest and holiday. James Bridle employs the increasingly widespread technology of the “internet of things” to make visible the EU Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) which was created to protect workers’ rights. When activated, the light bulbs shine continuously during working hours, go dim and change colour during overtime and non-working hours. In addition, the lights change periodically to visualise the different actual working hours around the globe.
Cheaper by the Dozen continues James Bridle’s interest in algorithmic law, the processes of automation, and the political implications of the "internet of things". By addressing the guidelines to working hours in the context of a deactivated hairdressers shop, the artist draws upon the sensitivities and prejudices inherent to national working rhythms and the gross domestic product. More specifically, Bridle took inspiration from Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, pioneers of scientific management and the study of time and motion, who measured and assessed workers’ productivity through the technique of light painting. Their theoretical heritage was fundamental to the deployment of labour practices in the 20th century, just as the implementation of often opaque political intent in software is fundamental to those of the 21st century. By inserting other social values into the software layer of contemporary labour practices, the work seeks to challenge the logic of technodeterminism and alienation deployed by late capitalism.

By inserting other social values into the software layer of contemporary labour practices, the work seeks to challenge the logic of technodeterminism and alienation deployed by late capitalism.

In the 19th century, specific buildings for entertainment appeared in many cities, including stone circuses. Ghent also joined this international trend. In 1894, the so-called "Nieuw Cirkus" was built, designed by architect Emile De Weerdt .and was eventually inaugurated as a stone circus, where numerous companies gave performances, also during the winter.
Shortly after World War II, the Winter Circus was transformed into Ghislain Mahy's garage. In this transformation, the entire circus interior was lost. In its place came a completely new concrete structure with an elaborate system of ramps that allowed cars to drive all the way to the top. In 1978, the garage closed its doors and the building continued to serve as a depot for vintage cars for two more decades. After that, the building stood virtually empty.
n order of the City, sogent purchased the historically valuable building in 2005 with the intention of renovating and repurposing it with respect for its rich heritage value.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno es una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.

The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.
I'm starting to purchase some relatively expensive gemstones. I wanted to know how I could be sure of what I was purchasing when there are some misleading trade names and vendors that may not ask as many questions of their supplier as they should.
Calculating the specific gravity of your new sparklies is a good method and can be done fairly inexpensively.
