Laeuferinnen des sechsten Startblocks des 10km-Rennens werden auf die Strecke gelassen, im Rahmen des Schweizer Frauenlaufs am 10. Juni 2012 in Bern, Schweiz.
This actually started as an entry into the podracer contest on fBtB, but my lack of sand green for the engines sent me in a different direction. I couldn't waste a perfectly good Lego igloo, though, so I threw together this scene for the ice fisherman. He seems to be doing quite well.
As a side note, is there anything I can do to help improve my pictures without buying a new camera or making a light box? I got a desk lamp, and that's helped quite a bit, but if there's more I can do without spending a fortune, I'm all ears!

Today was pretty rough, starting with my Photoshop professor telling me I didn't know how to take pictures to a friend's gecko pooping on me to a terribly boring Photo II class. Luckily, my roommate is awesome and was willing to jump around on the hill before the sun totally set.

...for Arriva Cymru's 'Open Top' tour is Gloddaeth Street, Llandudno (opposite the former Palladium, now a Wetherspoons). The two hour long tour takes you through the town and around the Great Orme headland offering spectacular views of the cliffs with their former lighthouse and a bird's eye view of the properties with £million plus price tags along the western shoreline. From the heights of he Great Orme the tour continues via the West Shore in Llandudno and the delightful coastal village of Deganwy, with its new marina, passed the ancient river crossings to Conwy, nestling in the shadow of its magnificent castle and town walls.

We started on the very south in Kerala. Visited Fort Cochin, watched a crazy Kathakala traditional dance, floated down the backwater canals on a little row boat until our butts got sore. Headed down to Varkala, a beach surrounded by big cliffs. Our train rides this time were better, maybe we were more experienced and tolerant. Took a wrong train once and missed our destination, boarded an unreserved train cart and also boarded an overnight train without confirmed tickets – woo! Visited the British tea plantations in Munnar. Spent time in Goa, dodging the western hippies and meeting Indians with Portuguese names. Unavoidably met the hippies in Hampi but the ruins and temples made up for it.
The North
We visited Mumbai and nearby Aurangabad, Ajanta and Ellora. In Rajhastan, we visited Jodhpur, Ranakpur, Udaipur and Pushkar. Kept heading north towards Punjab and visited Amritsar and the Pakistani border. Looped around to hippie-center Rishikesh and back to Delhi, once again after our first visit 5 years ago.
Our seedlings are doing awesome. It is unbelievable to us to see the
kind of yields we get from using starter trays in doors vs. just
planting in our garden beds outside. At least a 5x improvement. Wendy
planted some herbs inside today. Thyme, rosemary, marjoram, oregano,
shiso, dill, lavender, and cilantro. We are still waiting our back
ordered block press for doing seed starts. We also have been planting
garbanzo beans from our bulk food order. They make a really pretty
plant and don't seem to have any problem growing our climate.
While I watied for the return of my Sparrow, I test drove this recumbent bike with electric add-on motor. It was a lot of fun, but when riding with traffic I felt more vulnerable than on a regular bike. I prefere to be taller than a car. This bike would set me back $5,000. This makes the eGo cycle a lot more reasonable at $1,000. The motor also tends to shut off when it gets too hot. When this happened he put me on one with two motors so I could switch back and forth between them, but that made the bike a little too heavy for me to handle. It reminded me too much of riding a motorcycle - heavy and not too safe.

This is a photograph from the second running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 14th September 2013 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The "Flatline" also included an option for a full marathon which was fully supported by the Marathon Club of Ireland and the East of Ireland Marathon Series. This allowed participants to run the Flatline twice for the qualifying marathon distance. About 80 people took part.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the start and finish of "The Flatline" 2013. The URL of the main set is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157635495089498/. There are some photographs of the finishers of the marathon.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 1,000 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost perfect for running. The runners were bathed in warm September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a stiff breeze but nothing major.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

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.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Picture taken as a teenager at Zandvoort: the start of the last GP at Zandvoort, as seen from the Esso VIP box in F1's ultimate turbo year.
Digitisation was done by projecting the original slide directly onto a Nikon D200's image sensor, before the overexposed picture was further processed using Adobe Lightroom. The photo was originally taken by a Konica FS-1 analogue SLR camera.
