Amherst Town Tomb.
Commonly seen in older New England cemeteries and built in the mid to late 1800s is what was known as the "receiving tomb". Previous to this when grandma kicked the bucket in the middle of winter you would store her in the barn until spring and the ground was soft enough to dig a grave. But in the 1800s many cemeteries built these tombs to receive the dead and store them until warmer weather (or for whatever other reason the final resting place wasn't ready) at which point their graves would be dug and the bodies moved to their final resting places. With the invention of the steam shovel and other powered digging tools there was no longer as much of need for these and they are not seen in newer cemeteries.
However they have not completely fallen out of favor. The one at Lowell Cemetery built around this same time frame is still used for this purpose today sometimes including holding bodies temporarily for other nearby cemeteries.

It was amazing to see what the tide would do to the water level ... In the morning, you could jump from pool to pool - in the late afternoon, you could kite surf at the same spot. Just amazing! #Tanzania #beach-life
For a few weeks at least, a Class 92 is temporarily a rare sight on the Highlander. With the Mk5s rolled-out on the Lowlander and all bar one CAF-modded Class 92s converted to 1500v ETS to work them, it has been almost all hired-in Freightliner 90s working the old stock on the Highlander.
Fresh from a rare trip to Dollands Moor/HS1, Class 92, 92 010, was stepping in whilst the 90s undertook A Exams. Working 1M16 south through Acton Bridge in the dawn light, there won't be too many more occasions to capture 92010 (or any 92) on the old sleeper stock.

The cicadas arrived in droves but they won't be here for long. They only live a short time once they leave their subterranean lives behind.
The remains of the temporary scaffolding railings along the promenade during refurbishment of the Knightstone Island complex and the Marine Lake. The recent weather and storm surge probably responsible...
Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.
R694DNH rests in our Poplar Farm Depot, a temporary fleet addition owing to the demise of DD85, it will run on schools duties for us until our new double deckers arrive!
This is a very tricky one. I know many of you won't like it since there is no subject in it. Just the sea and the sky. But is that really important? If you think so, just skip this image...
Here's an attempt to explain it.
I've been a long time Hiroshi Sugimoto fan. Who isn't familiar with Sugimoto's U2 album cover? This very minimalistic photograph has been copied many times by other artists but somehow they always fail to capture the essence. So what is the essence? I've been thinking of this for a very long time until P R I M E R referred me to a very interesting interview on Sprayblog with photographer David Fokos.
I've been struggling for a long time to describe why I love minimalistic long exposure images. And this outstanding photographer David Fokos just hit the nail on its head. This is what he said (or just read the complete article):
(…)
I believe that our sense of experience is built up over time – a composite of many short-term events. I will often suggest this analogy: Suppose you meet someone for the first time. Your impression of that person is not a snapshot in your mind of the first time you saw that person, but rather a portrait you have assembled from many separate moments. Each time that person exhibits a new facial expression or hand gesture, you add that into your impression of who that person is. Your image of that person — how you feel about that person — is formed over time, rather than upon a single expression or gesture. Likewise, I believe that our impression of the world is based upon our total experience. For example, the ocean has always made me feel calm, relaxed, and contented. If I were to take an instantaneous snapshot of the ocean, the photo would include waves with jagged edges, salt spray, and foam. This type of image does not make me feel calm — it does not represent how the ocean makes me feel as I stare out over the water. What I am responding to is the underlying, fundamental form of the ocean, its vast expansiveness and the strong line of the horizon, both of which are very stable, calming forms that I find relaxing. So, I had to find a way to brush away the messy, “visual noise” of the waves to get to the essence of my experience. I have done this by using my camera’s unique ability to average time, through the use of long exposures. In this way I am able to quell the visual noise (e.g. the short-term temporal events like breaking waves or zooming cars) to reveal a sort of hidden world. It is a very real world to be sure – the camera was able to record the scene – it is just not one that we normally experience visually.
Our bodies respond to many types of stimuli. What we see – the visual information – is just one type of stimulus, though it is often the most overpowering of the senses. However, due to the short wavelengths of visible light, this information is presented to us in an infinite series of frozen snapshot moments. Our bodies also react to other types of stimuli on longer time scales – our sense of touch, smell, hearing, etc. The wavelengths of sound waves are much longer than those of light so it takes our body longer to capture a “sound snapshot”. Our skin reacts to sunlight, another stimulus, but how long does it take for us to get a tan or sunburn? The point is that the world exists as a time continuum, not just a frozen snapshot. Our bodies respond to the world in a cumulative way, averaging our experience as we pass through time. Using my camera’s ability to average time through long exposures, I can reveal what our world “looks” like based on a longer time scale. My photographic process acts as a translator – translating from the “invisible” world of non-instantaneous events, into the visible world as a photographic print. In a way, it is like peeling back a page to reveal a world that, while very real, is not experienced visually. We feel it. We sense it. But in general, we don’t see it.(…)
And (…) When I make an image I know exactly on what I want the viewer to focus and what I want them to see and feel. By reducing my images to austere minimalist compositions I force the viewer to more closely examine what I have left in the frame thus intensifying the viewer’s observation and appreciation of the few things that remain in the image. Furthermore (…) To compose in a minimal way, I decide what it is that I wish to convey – what is it in the scene that I want the viewer to focus their attention upon, and what emotion I want to evoke. Then, I try to minimize anything else that competes with that. The composition becomes critical – specifically how the main elements interact with any lesser elements, the horizon, the positive and negative spaces created by their placement, the edges of the frame and the tension or harmony created by the positions of everything. (…) Please note that when I say “main element” I do not mean “subject matter”. My subject matter is the feeling I am trying to convey. The objects in my images are simply supporting characters.(…)
Well there you have it. Just trying to capture what I feel when looking at the sea by averaging our experience over time and trying to eliminate all other elements that can distract the viewer from the essence.

The people overhauling the wetlands had this temporary fence up so people wouldn't get into their working area.. I think they are just about thru with it now because when I was there last they had finished paving the parking area and the handicap parking is a long way from the trails.. I won't be using that if there are closer ones to the water.. Happy Fence Friday, Everybody!!!
This "love lock" is locked on a rope, on top of an active volcano. Eternal love (or until next eruption...)
it's all about temporary tattoos these days. we've been looking for batman tattoos all over, with no luck. so, if you know where to get such tattoos, or any super hero ditos, please with sugar on top, let me know...
The R&N Reading Turn has just returned from Reading Yard. Both units were adorned with temporary markings in honor of Memorial Day.
Bonkers, freshly washed (with a damp pet wipe) and groomed with a nice comb, resting on the bed. He was purring gently while I cleaned him up (lately, he’s fallen into the litter box and smells a bit like urine - the pet wipe helped with that particular issue but his tunic needs to be washed). He’s still purring softly next to me...
Hana and Archie resting on a bed in the computer room. The resting is only temporary before they enter crazy mode again (which at their age, is most of the time they are awake).
Venturing out in the rain is so much fun when you have a rainproof camera (Olympus EM1.1 and 12-40 Pro lens) ... let's not talk about the supposedly waterproof shoes, though. Anyhow, this little stream bed is usually empty and just a trickle of water flows off the hills into the river. But during yesterday's heavy rainfall, it suddenly swelled up into raging rapids ... just for an hour, but it still made for a very interesting subject.
[ENG] The complex of Wetlands of Sastago-Bujaraloz constitutes a set of endorheic lagoons without drainage, temporary and saline, considered as the most extensive and important in Europe, being unique for its peculiarities. It is located between the towns of Bujaraloz (Huesca, Spain) and Sástago (Zaragoza, Spain) between the regions of Los Monegros and the Ribera Baja de Ebro. These lagoons are flooded after the rains, and some - located below the water table - They also receive underground water, the latter being the ones with the highest concentration of salts. The evaporation exposes the bottom of the lagoon with a characteristic white saline crust. The vegetation that lives in the salt flats is adapted to low rainfall and extreme temperatures, and is arranged in concentric rings depending on its tolerance to salinity, the macrophytes appearing inside the buckets. Among the inhabitants of the salt flats, the aquatic invertebrates that have adapted their cycle to the presence of water stand out. And in its vicinity you can see foxes, rabbits, garden dormouse and ocellated lizards, as well as the birds short-toed snake eagle, Eurasian stone-curlew, golden eagle, common sandpiper, lesser kestrel, Dupont's lark, black-bellied sandgrouse and pin-tailed sandgrouse.
The Salada de la Playa is the largest of the whole and with the greatest presence of water, in which there are ruins of constructions related to the exploitation of salt dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, between those that include evaporation terraces, wells, salt store and barracks of soldiers guarding the farms.

[ESP] El complejo de Humedales de Sástago-Bujaraloz constituye un conjunto de lagunas endorreicas (sin desagüe), temporales y salinas, considerado como el más extenso e importante de Europa, siendo único por sus particularidades. Está situado entre las localidades de Bujaraloz (Huesca, España) y Sástago (Zaragoza, España) entre las comarcas de Los Monegros y la Ribera Baja de Ebro. Estas lagunas se inundan tras las lluvias, y algunas –situadas por debajo del nivel freático- también reciben agua subterráneas, siendo estas últimas las que tienen mayor concentración de sales. La evaporación deja al descubierto el fondo de la laguna con una costra salina blanca característica. La vegetación que vive en las salinas está adaptada a las lluvias escasas y a las temperaturas extremas, y se dispone en anillos concéntricos en función de su tolerancia a la salinidad, apareciendo en el interior de las cubetas los macrófitos. Entre los moradores de las salinas destacan los invertebrados acuáticos que han adaptado su ciclo a la presencia de agua. Y en sus proximidades se pueden observar zorros, conejos, lirón careto y lagartos ocelados, así como las aves culebrera europea, avutarda, archibebe común, alcaraván, ágila real, andarríos chico, cernícalo primilla, rocín o alondra de Dupond, ganga ortega y ganga común.
La Salada de la Playa es la mayor de todo el conjunto y con mayor presencia de agua, en la que existen ruinas de construcciones relacionadas con la explotación de la sal que datan de los siglos XVII y XVIII, entre las que se incluyen eras de evaporación, pozos, almacén de sal y cuartel de soldados que custodiaban las explotaciones.

I know that wasps have their place in how things interrelate, but even so I was content to see how this might play out - Id hardly expect a small garden spider to do battle with something as formidable as this, but the spider proved a no-show. The wasp freed itself and then continued with its wood scrapings, seeming none the worse for its short term residence in the extraordinarily fine web that'd snared it.
First Leeds received 3 enviro 400 double deckers during late August for the A65 bus lane launch although non are expected to stay. Here 33706 is seen inbound on the new bus lane complete with first Leeds branding, adverts for the A65 improvements and FWY legals.
Street Night market at singapore Chinatown. Each year two weeks before lunar new year, chinatown singapore will have a night market with more than 100 temporary stalls selling chinese new year food and decoration. Stall usually open from evening 5pm till midnight 2 to 3 am. Be prepared to squeeze in between the crowds but it has full of chinese new year atmosphere.

180 Avonside Drive, Avonside, Christchurch
Could this painting at the Climate Action Campus, by Kayla Morris, perhaps be a representation of the great Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo?
= = = = =
The Feb.2011 major earthquake wreaked severe damage on Christchurch, including the Avonside Girls High School buildings.
The following year, after demolition of the old damaged buildings, a small village of ‘prefabs’ sprang up. These safe, single-story buildings ensured Avonside students continued their education, while the future of the school was explored.
The school functioned in this temporary setting for the next 7+ years, until it eventually co-located with its brother school, Shirley Boys High.
Those ‘prefabs’ remain on the original site, now known as the Climate Action Campus (the first of its kind in New Zealand). Students come from more than 50 schools, and are involved in projects to help bring about positive environmental change.
the princesses attic,and we call it that because we're sort of just dumping all their belongings to this new room I made them,of course it is still a work in progress.
