Located at Bold Venture Park in Darwen, Blackburn.
One historic feature of the park is the war memorial, (listed grade II) close to the main entrance. It was unveiled in 1921 and stands symbolically for the five years of World War I, on five stone steps.
The park is now listed in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens (grade II).
Creo que era el edificio de Lloyd's o algo así. Ya me veis a mí tirado en la acera para poder mirar por el visor de la cámara, que estaba colocada sobre el trípode a la menor altura posible para conseguir un mayor ángulo. A mi lado, Rosa y Ewa ensayando un paso de samba, pues de alguna manera tenían que entretenerse mientras me esperaban. Y en esto que sale el segurata del edificio de enfrente y, acuclillado, entabla conversación conmigo: "mira, legalmente no te puedo decir que no hagas eso, pero sí te puedo pedir que te limites a los detalles arquitectónicos y no saques ninguna foto del interior de nuestro edificio". Como si el mostrador de recepción me interesara lo más mínimo al lado de esta perspectiva... Por cierto, que vaya paranoia tienen en Londres con las fotos, tres veces me quisieron echar de las zonas de oficinas. Con buenos modos, eso sí...
In der östlichen Ausfahrt von Weimar konnte man wunderbar den Vormittag verdödeln. Bei gutem Überblick konnte nichts verpasst werden außerdem war nicht mit dem BGS zu rechnen. Am 25.4. 2001 waren Interregios erklärtes Einsatzziel. Den Auftakt machte 8.56Uhr IR 2106 Frankfurt/Main-Stralsund. Eine Stunde später um 10.07 Uhr folgte nach Lokwechsel IR 2453 "Kurhessen" Dortmund-Gera. Wiederum eine Stunde später um 11.07 folgte IR 2104 "Caspar David Friedrich" Frankfurt/Main-Binz. Güterverkehr/ Nahverkehr gab es ntürlich auch und als das Mittagsglöcklein schlug war der erste Diafilm schon voll.
My entry to day 5 of Vignweek 2021. The theme of the day was "future," but apparently that includes Star Wars, so I made a Clone Wars MOC.
I'm not really happy with how this one turned out. I was lacking both time and inspiration.
Scanned lith print.
Rolleiflex T w/ Tessar 75 mm + Rollei IR filter.
Rollei IR 400 in Rodinal 1+100, semistand 1 h.
Lith printed on old Kodak Medalist F-3 (single weight FB, thanks Travis!), washed in a warm water bath for about 2 min and then developed in Moersch Easy Lith (15A+15B+H2Oqs800).
Fixed in Moersch ATS alkaline fixer.
Untoned.
PS borders.
2nd print in the bath. Moderate fogging of paper base, hence PS borders.
Pre-dev washing in warm water was a tip from my US Flickr friend Robin, since I previously have had problems with artifacts in homogeneous areas like skies (se below) with this paper, probably due to aged developing agents in the paper emulsion which will be washed away during this process. And I must say that I think it works! Thanks Robin (and Alfred!).
Sweden was "neutral" in WWII. However, we were preparing for the worst. Several "War Airfields" were built and this one (close to where I live) is kept for historical purposes.
There are no winners in war, everyone killed is someone's loved-one !!!!!!!
My tribute to those that lost their lives, no matter what side.......
Two merged images. One from Lacock at war, the other, poppies on crosses laid at a war memorial.
And we REALLY don't like Joe Lieberman.

Portion of Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Iowa State Capitol grounds, Des Moines. Iowa Capitol is in background.
The monument is 135 feet tall and was completed in 1894. It is often referred to as the Civil War Monument.
This memorial commemorates the residents of Campbeltown who were killed or missing in World War I (405 names) and World War II (118 names). Quoted from Traces of War.

A stained glass war memorial in Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire UK. It depicts soldiers, miners, land workers and the minster building. It was installed in the 12th century cathedral in 2016.
Ominous skies above the Korean War Monument, located outside the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan-dong, Seoul, South Korea. From 1950 to 1953 the Korean War was fought between North and South Korea. The war involved a United Nations force led by the USA fighting for the the South against a Chinese and Soviet Union backed North. Fighting ended on 27 July 1953, when an armistice was signed. The agreement created the Korean Demilitarized Zone, 55km North of Seoul, to separate North and South Korea. No peace treaty was subsequently signed, and the two Koreas are technically still at war.
Periodic clashes, many of which have resulted in casualties, continue to this day.

China, Beijing,…autumn sunset over the Forbidden City, the “Zǐjinchéng”, in China now it is usually called Gùgōng, is the centre of Beijing. The Palace was for 276 years, 1368 –1644 the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty & until the end of the Qing Dynasty, established in 1636 & ruling China from 1644 to 1912.
Built from 1406 to 1420, was it the home to twenty-four Chinese emperors, from the Ming dynasty & 1420 until the end of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of Puyi in 1912. The Palace served as the home of emperors, their family circle, as well as the ceremonial & political centre of Chinese government for over 500 years.
The 980 buildings complex with officially 9.999 rooms, as a room is considered the space between four pillars. The palace represents traditional Chinese impressive architecture, it influenced cultural & architectural developments in East Asia.
The whole complex was built without a nail or a screw only with dowels & interlacing, the general renovation which started in 2002 is done with same technics & craftsmanship as in past hundreds of years & will need a couple of more years, by the year 2020, 85% by 2020 to be finalized & open to the public. During the imperial centuries it was forbidden to build any house higher than the Palace buildings, hence during thunderstorms it was the main object in Beijing to be hit by lightning
After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, some damage was done to the Forbidden City as the country was flounced up in revolutionary fanaticism during the Cultural Revolution. However, further destruction was prevented when Ordered by Mao Zedong, the Premier Zhou Enlai, sent an army battalion to guard the Forbidden City to prevent further devastation.
Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong was the Chairman, founding father & intellectual leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The Imperial Palace, built in only 14 years from 1406 to 1420, is a rectangle covering 720,000m2 with 961 mtr from north to south & 753 mtr from east to west. Crossing the Forbidden City through to the Tiananmen Gate, which is decorated with a portrait of Mao Zedong, the forecourt & the Meridian Gate to the north gate on Jingshan Hill it is a length of slightly more than 1,5 km. The Forbidden City is enclosed by a 7,9 mtr high & 6 mtr wide defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km, surrounded by a 52 mtr wide ditch.
The Forbidden City is documented as one of the most important five palaces in the world, with an area of 72ha it is the largest & ancient palatial structure in the world
The palace is 960 mtr long & 750 mtr wide, has formally 9,999 rooms, a room being the space between four pillars. The Forbidden City is enclosed by an almost 8 mtr-high defensive wall, which has a circumference of 3,430km.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork & artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming & Qing dynasties.
Approximately 15 million tourists visit the palace every year.
About 25% of the museum's former collection is since the Chinese Civil War located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, both museums descend from the same institution.

I did not know that little boys still played war like this. It made me remember being just a child again and I thought maybe he will grow up to be a great General someday...... or maybe we will have destroyed the world before then. I hope not.

Driving and walking rovers competed to survey a shadowy analogue of the south polar lunar surface for useable resources during the inaugural ESA-ESRIC Space Resources Challenge. Some 13 teams from across Europe and Canada took part in last month’s field test, with the winners due to be announced shortly.
The Space Resources Challenge – supported by ESA and the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) in Luxembourg – is asking European (and Canadian) researchers and institutions to develop and demonstrate a system of one or more vehicles capable of prospecting resources on the Moon in the near future.
Massimo Sabbatini, overseeing the contest for ESA, comments: “ESA is analysing the results of the first field test of the Challenge and the competition is fierce. There was a wide range of participants and technological solutions to the problem of prospecting: notably different locomotion techniques – legged, wheeled, tracked, and so on – and approaches, such as single versus multiple vehicles and aerial vehicles. The jury is out!”
The emphasis of the contest is on prospecting: pinpointing promising resources within a difficult lunar environment then characterising them in as much detail as possible, such as through visual inspection or spectral analysis.
The lunar poles are a focus of interest for future exploration. They do not experience the crippling temperature extremes of the Moon’s two-week days and nights, and frozen water and other deposits are believed to be buried within permanently shadowed polar craters.
The Space Resources Challenge teams gathered at Valkenberg in the Netherlands had to contend with challenging illumination conditions and potential loss of signal events to locate resources, including mapping a small impact crater in the vicinity of the rover’s lander – all within a two and a half hour time limit.
The five winners will be awarded €375 000 in ESA contracts, with a larger prize pool on offer after a follow-on field test hosted by ESRIC next year.

I made an update to my Bacta Tank MOC, I am more satisfied with the overall shape now.
After watching the first episode of the new Star Wars show featuring Boba Fett, I thought about building a MOC around it. I chose the Bacta Tank in which Boba Fett sleeps and cures his injuries.
Showdown: Why China Wants War with the United States arrived with today's mail. Looks like a good book.
Have you ever been invited to play a friendly game of scrabble and it turns to something completely else - like a full blown war with a lot of verbal violence and insults? You and your friend start out as good buddies... but leave the table as sworn enemies. You promises yourself that you won't play anymore scrabble. Never ever again!
If not, you have missed something! ;-)
as a Battlefield fan, i'm really hyped for Battlefield 1. Thought i'd do a little figure thing after watching how awesome the gameplay looked. Enjoy! :)
Situated at Pecket Well overlooking Hardcastle Crags and Hebden Bridge this memorial commemorates those from the Wadsworth area killed during WW1 (34) sadly another six names were added after the second world war.
War, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
Oh, war, has shattered many a young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Peace, love and understanding, tell me
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
War,
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Taken at War
