* Vacent pier where NCL Gem would have been tied up had they not diverted to the Bahamas because of TS Maria *
Carnival docks in Bermuda at The Dockyard which, at one time, was a Royal Navy base. TS Maria was working her way up the coast but we got into Bermuda before the storm passed us. Weather on our arrival day was great but the second day saw must of us staying aboard the ship because of 40-50mph winds and rain. We were able to venture out on the third day but conditions were VERY warm and humid, perfect for a dip in the pool after a morning seeing the sights. We purchased three day ferry/bus passes for getting around the island. Staying at the pier overnight also gave me the opportunity to capture some night time images.

This turned out terrible, made me look like a pink highlighter clown, and I didn't even get a picture of it. An application of baking soda (of all things) took about half of it out.
From our view high above the third turn, you can see the cars coming out of turn two, the back stretch, all of turn three, the short shute and most of turn four....and the snakepit!
The Phenomenauts were the third of four acts that night. I had initially seen this band several months prior with the Aquabats, and it was then that I discovered that the Phenomenauts are a band best seen live. Their stage presence is among the best I've ever seen (hence that show with the Aquabats was among the best I've ever been to). The venue is the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD.
NOTE - This video has horrible audio and I highly recommend muting it. I attribute this to the camera's audio capabilities and also to the fact that no matter where you are in this room, you're close enough to the speakers that you feel every note. Even a classical orchestra performing Brahm's Lullaby could cause hearing damage.

Strasbourg is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in northeastern France and is the official seat of the European Parliament. Located close to the border with Germany, it is the capital of the Bas-Rhin département. The city and the region of Alsace are historically German-speaking, explaining the city's Germanic name. In 2006, the city proper had 272,975 inhabitants and its urban community 467,375 inhabitants. With 638,670 inhabitants in 2006, Strasbourg's metropolitan area (aire urbaine) (only the part of the metropolitan area on French territory) is the ninth largest in France. The transnational Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau has a population of 884,988 inhabitants.
Strasbourg is the seat of several European institutions, such as the Council of Europe (with its European Court of Human Rights, its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and its European Audiovisual Observatory) and the Eurocorps, as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union. The city is the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine.
Strasbourg's historic city centre, the Grande ÃŽle (Grand Island), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honour was placed on an entire city centre. Strasbourg is fused into the Franco-German culture and although violently disputed throughout history, has been a bridge of unity between France and Germany for centuries, especially through the University of Strasbourg, currently the largest in France, and the coexistence of Catholic and Protestant culture.
Economically, Strasbourg is an important centre of manufacturing and engineering, as well as of road, rail, and river communications. The port of Strasbourg is the second largest on the Rhine after Duisburg, Germany. In terms of city rankings, Strasbourg has been ranked third in France and 18th globally for innovation.

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrasburgo
Estrasburgo (em francês Strasbourg, em alemão Straßburg, pronúncia em alsaciano Strossburi) é uma comuna situada no leste da França, na margem esquerda do Rio Reno. É a capital da região administrativa da Alsácia e do département (departamento) do Bas-Rhin (Baixo-Reno).
A aglomeração urbana prolonga-se até a Alemanha, à cidade de Kehl, que é o espelho geográfico de Estrasburgo do lado oposto do Reno.
História
Estrasburgo, conhecida pelos romanos como Argentoratum, foi fundada em 12 a.C. Era então um campo militar fortificado posicionado sobre o limes (fronteira do Império Romano) do Reno. Um canabae (aglomeração de habitações civis) desenvolveu-se ao redor do campo e em direção ao oeste, prelúdio ao desenvolvimento futuro da cidade.
Estrasburgo foi incorporada ao Império franco no século V. Em 842, a cidade foi palco dos Juramentos de Estrasburgo, mais antiga testemunha escrita das lÃnguas francesa e alemã.
A catedral de Estrasburgo foi terminada em 1439, tornando-se o mais alto edifÃcio do mundo entre 1625 a 1874, e permaneceu como a mais alta igreja do mundo até 1880, quando foi ultrapassada pela Catedral de Colônia, na Alemanha. Hoje é a quarta igreja mais alta do mundo. Durante a década de 1520, a a cidade abraçou as teses religiosas de Martinho Lutero, cujos adeptos estabeleceram uma universidade no século seguinte.
Cidade livre e autônoma do Sacro Império Romano-Germânico, Estrasburgo foi anexada à França somente em 1681, estatuto confirmado pelo Tratado de Ryswick (1697). Louis XIV mandou destruir simbolicamente parte das fortificações da cidade. Isso cria uma abertura pela qual ele entra em Estrasburgo, marcando assim a submissão da cidade ao poder real. Mandado pelo rei, Jacques François Blondel desenhou um plano de embelezamento de Estrasburgo que, por falta de financiamento, foi realizado apenas parcialmente. Estrasburgo deve a Blondel principalmente a construção da Aubette na praça Kléber e a reforma da praça Marché-Gaillot. Diversos edifÃcios clássicos foram construÃdos, o primeiro dos quais foi o Palácio Rohan, habitação de prÃncipes construÃda à s margens do rio Ill, face à s habitações burguesas. Mas foram principalmente as fortificações de Vauban que marcaram este perÃodo, com a construção de uma proteção sobre o Ill, face à s Pontes Cobertas (Ponts Couverts), e a de uma imponente cidadela ao sudeste, situada face à Alemanha. Com o crescimento da indústria e do comércio, a população triplicou no século XIX, passando a 150 000 habitantes.
Estrasburgo foi anexada ao recém estabelecido Império Alemão como capital do Reichsland da Alsácia-Lorena (Alsace-Lorraine) em 1871, após a Guerra franco-prussiana (Tratado de Frankfurt). Este perÃodo marcou o apogeu da dominação polÃtica e territorial de Estrasburgo. Beneficiou-se igualmente da intenção alemã de transformar a cidade na vitrine da cultura alemã, visando a atrair as populações locais e a mostrar ao mundo e à França a superioridade da cultura germânica. Estrasburgo recebeu então inúmeros edifÃcios públicos, entre os quais o Palácio do Imperador (atualmente Palácio do Reno), o parlamento da Alsácia-Lorena e o Palácio Universitário. A mais importante extensão urbana de Estrasburgo foi então planificada, tendo como resultado a duplicação da superfÃcie da zona urbana em trinta anos.
A cidade voltou à França após a Primeira Guerra Mundial em 1919, pelo Tratado de Versalhes. Tornou-se novamente parte da Alemanha durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, de 1940 a 1945, para retornar à França no final da guerra.
Além disso, vale lembrar que Estrasburgo possui uma das melhores bolachas amanteigadas. A cidade possui essas bolachas como um sÃmbolo da região, o que atrai muitos turistas e curiosos, para degustar esta iguaria.
Improv Everywhere is back to the beach with the 5th Annual Black Tie Beach for 2014. The premise is simple, put on your formal wear and head the water. This is my third year shooting Black Tie Beach and it is hands down my favorite Improv Everywhere event. It’s true when they say no one ever looks bad in a formal wear and when you add the beach you are stunning. We took further down the beach from Brighton this time, putting out blankets down in front of the Wonder Wheel. The bigger crowd made for even more fun and confusion. Also this year, the Improv Everywhere family grew a little bit, with a new Agent In Training. Charlie and Cody brought their ten week old son Charles on his very first mission. You MIGHT see a few photos of him out there, since every still photographer and videographer gave them the Red Carpet photo op treatment!
This is the third year that the Cork Diocesan Youth Council (CDYC) have run a Confirmation Retreat Weekend in the Carhue Centre in Bandon, County Cork. Even though in previous years, the weekend was held over the May Bank Holiday, this year it was decided to run it in conjunction with the Bishop’s Confirmation Morning in Canon Packham Hall in Douglas which was held on 2nd March.
Some of the candidates from around the Diocese arrived in Carhue on the Friday evening for some games, food and a worship session led by the Rev Cliff Jeffers and Marg Everett.
On Saturday morning, they were bussed to the Bishop’s Confirmation morning in Douglas. After a very enjoyable morning, the group were then taken to Leisure Plex in Cork for a game of bowling and Quasar. Once back at the Carhue Centre, later that afternoon, the group had dinner and a session on the Bible led by Mrs Judy Peters before more games and fun.
The weekend finished on Sunday morning, with the Leaders in Training group organizing the last session on prayer. With very detailed and well organized prayer stations set up around the conference room, the candidates worked their way through them very attentively and keen to spend time at each station.
This weekend is a great introduction into youth activities around the Diocese. It also encourages and enables the young people to make new connections and friendships making it easier for them to integrate into bigger diocesan youth events and being part of the Church of Ireland community on a wider scale.

...not sure if fence post works - I broke away from the B part at Red Pike and headed off into the mist - but was relieved when it lifted and I could stop going the wrong way off High Stile!

Local tradition knows that Dortmund was founded by Charlemagne in the course of the Saxon Wars. The first written mention of "Throtmanni" dates back to 882. In 1152, a court day was held in Dortmund under King Frederick Barbarossa. Craftsmen and merchants settled and so Dortmund developed into city. A fire in 1232 almost completely destroyed the town. The fire also caused the loss of the town's archives and with them all documents from the time before the fire. Dortmund's privileges, which had been lost in the fire, were renewed by Frederick II in 1236.
In 1293 the city was granted the brewing right and unprecedented development of the beer industry within the city began. In 1389, Dortmund survived the "Great Dortmund Feud" against the Count of the Mark and the Archbishop of Cologne. However, an economic decline was initiated. This process was continued and intensified by the Thirty Years' War and led to the city's decline, with the population falling to 4500 by 1793. Dortmund became an exclave of the Principality of Orange-Nassau. In 1808 Dortmund became part of the Napoleonic Grand Duchy of Berg. After the Prussian victory over Napoleon, Dortmund fell to the Prussian province of Westphalia in 1815. From the mid of 19th century, Dortmund's renewed rise and transformation into an industrial city began due to coal mining and steel processing. Since the opening of the railroad in 1847, Dortmund became a transportation hub in the Ruhr region. Another contribution to development came in 1899 with the opening of the Dortmund-Ems Canal. This infrastructure paved Dortmund's way to becoming a major city. The city grew beyond the narrow confines of the medieval ramparts.
By the outbreak of WWII, the townscape had changed from a farming town to a metropolitan appearance. During WWII, more than 100 air raids destroyed more than 90 percent of the city, including its historic churches. Reconstruction proceeded quickly, and by 1950 the city had 500,000 inhabitants.
Today, with about 590,000 inhabitants, Dortmund is part of the "Ruhr district", a polycentric urban area. With a population of over 5 million, it is the largest urban area in Germany.

There is evidence of a palatine church from the Ottonian period, which was destroyed during war unrest around 1060 and then rebuilt with a new outer crypt to house the St. Reinoldus relics, which may have been brought to Dortmund in 1065. St. Reinholdus (aka "Renaud de Montauban") is since Dortmund´s patron saint
This church was probably destroyed again during fighting between 1113 and 1115 and then rebuilt. The fire of 1232 destroyed the church a third time. It was built from 1250 to 1270, and is located at the crossing of the Hellweg (a historic trade route) and the historic road from Cologne to Bremen. From 1421 to 1450, the large council chancel was built.. After its completion of the tower in 1454, it was 112 m tall and was referred to as the "Miracle of Westphalia".
The furnishings of St. Reinoldi make it clear that an essential function of the building was the representation of Dortmund's imperial freedom.
In 1562 the congregations of Dortmund confirmed their adoption of Lutheranism in St. Reinold's Church. In 1661, the tower collapsed after being damaged during an earthquake. The foundation for the new tower was laid in 1662, and the building was completed in 1701, with a baroque ornament on the top.
The church was heavily damaged in WW II. The reconstruction, partly financed by donations, began in 1950 and lasted six years. In June 1956, consecration was celebrated in the rebuilt church.
The People's Convoy turned out to not be the wild collection of beflagged vehicles dominating the road I thought it might be, though there was an eclectic collection of trucks up near the front. The first two vehicles were just regular semi-trucks with regular trailers and American flags hanging on the back door. The third truck was, for some reason, hauling an ambulance. This was more like it.
Also, you'll notice, there was a Canadian flag, too. This was to honor their Canadian brethren, who started all these trucker protests over the winter when they shut down a border crossing into the U.S. and clogged the streets around the parliament complex in Ottawa. The Canadian government eventually had them all removed, which caused a great uproar about lost freedoms and government tyranny in right wing media right up until (and a little bit after) the moment Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.
Nous sommes arrivés en France! We are staying in this lovely country for two months this spring. Our primary residence is Lyon, the third largest city in France, located to the southwest. It is a historical, cultural, and very picturesque city founded as the Roman city of Lugdunum, spread out over two hills and two rivers -- the Saône and Rhône.
With side trips to locations as diverse as Paris, Perpignan, Aix-en-Provence, and more, Steve and I aim to get our fill of a country neither of us has seen in a decade, and enjoy the cuisine, culture, language practice, scenery, and generally, la vie quotidienne.

A friend and professional wedding photographer taking the opportunity to prove that a wedding can be shot on a micro four thirds Olympus system. The regional rep for Olympus supplied additional equipment to make this happen.
I took some time to catch some shots of him working with the system.
