This is a photograph of my Grandfather taken in November 1918 when he was aged 30, he survived the Battle of the Somme. The strain of War is etched in his face.
Hefty concrete supports beneath Centre Point, a 34-storey tower block in Central London. In the centre, the staircase linking it to the adjoining restaurant deck (above my head as I took this).
Completed in 1966, the building was designed by Richard Seifert and Partners.
The Detroit Industry Murals are a series of frescoes by the Mexican artist Diego Rivera, consisting of twenty-seven panels depicting industry at the Ford Motor Company. Together they surround the Rivera Court in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Painted between 1932 and 1933, they were considered by Rivera to be his most successful work.
The two main panels on the North and South walls depict laborers working at Ford Motor Company's River Rouge Plant. Other panels depict advances made in various scientific fields, such as medicine and new technology. The series of murals, taken as a whole, represents the idea that all actions and ideas are one.

Taken in September 2009, looking across Thirlmere at the Straining Well and Valve House from the reservoir's south bank.
It was built in 1885-1894 by G H Hill (engineer), for Manchester Corporation Waterworks Committee. According to Historic England it consists of coursed slate nibble walls, with red sandstone dressings and battlemented parapets. The circular tower with lower double rectangular valve house structures, forms an overall V-shape when seen from above. It is a mock castle-like building with plain openings and slit vents. It was given Grade II listed building status in 1985.
I had been taking advantage of almost mirror-like still waters although the wind had picked up a little at this point...
Thirlmere is an artificial lake, having been dammed at its northern end (off to the left above) in 1889 by the Manchester City Corporation Waterworks, resulting in a rise of over 30m in the water levels, drowning two adjoining lakes and two small settlements.

Last night I was able to capture some light from the 1-trillion stars (literally) within the "nearby" Andromeda Galaxy. This is the closest major galaxy to our Milky Way, but it is still 2.5 million light-years away. The little blur above the galaxy is a satellite galaxy of Andromeda Galaxy referred to as Messier 32 (M32).
I took this photo in my backyard, last night... around 11pm. It was a 61-second exposure at 200mm, using an equatorial mount. I'm definitely interested in trying more experiments like this! :-D
This concludes my themed-share of this week... the week of stars/space #weekofstars #weekofspace
He just managed to catch it. His friends sure throw the ball hard.

Abraham Joshua Heschel says: “Much of what the Bible demands can be comprised in one word, ‘Remember.’”...
...It is no exaggeration to say that the suffering we most frequently encounter in the ministry is a suffering of memories. They are the wounding memories that ask for healing.

Jane took a few of this C series climbing out of Marsa and its steeper than it looks that tight bend and it takes some some good driving skills and commitment to get it round there and the hope that nothing is coming down the hill at the time to interupt his progress!
A Daf 95 had a real struggle trying to set off again when it got slowed just for a couple of seconds!
I went to Gaja today for really no reason. I accidently took a wrong turn and ended up at this Wat. I was hoping to get a shot of this monk sweeping, but he stopped to rub his back right when I pulled the trigger. The shot's a little blurry as a result, but I really like the pose and crop out of camera so I don't want to pass it up.

420 Strain G13 IPA
From Sweetwater Brewing Company's website:
"This aromatic super-hybrid sticky IPA is first and foremost a phenomenally delicious and drinkable beer, with the added bonus of an olfactory experience that mimics that of the legendary G13 cannabis strain. The IPA base brew has a great body, good head and nice amount of haze at a pleasurable 6% ABV. To work with the malt bill, the brewers added some of their dankest hops, Columbus and Simcoe, plus two dry hop additions. To achieve the aroma, our brewers found the perfect botanically-sourced, strain specific terpenes and married them with proprietary natural hemp flavor, both perfectly complementing the hops in the IPA."
"Olfactory experience"? The beer tastes pretty good and doesn't smell half bad ... I didn't get the munchies, though.
