When you get tens of thousands of people in a small area for a brief time, you need some public service equipment. I leave it to my friends who enjoy such photos to properly identify make and model of this very necessary vehicle.
There's a lot of doom and gloom about at present and I want to do my little bit to lift it by posting a picture of these three smiling Irish cailins.
The name speaks for itself and brings to mind the words of the song:
When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
You might enjoy this version of the song:

YORK CITY & DISTRICT
2579 (KUB553V), seen across from the Railway Station, is a Leyland Leopard PSU3E/4R, with Plaxton Supreme Express body.
It was new to West Yorkshire RCC in January, 1980 and transferred to York City & District in August, 1988. It would later go on to Yorkshire Coastliner, Malton, when that company was formed in July, 1990.
When I went to check on my garden this morning, I was surprised to see this amaryllis blooming. (The water is from the morning sprinklers - it did not rain!)
Note: After I took the picture, I realized I hadn't changed the date back to California time, so it is off by ten hours. It's all fixed now.

The card was sent on 26th September 1903 to Miss Dorothy Cornelius, 11 Coleraine Road, Westcombe Park, Blackheath, London SE from Mr Bandran, 52 Avenue de St Cloud, Versailles, prés Paris. The front begins, towards the bottom, Dear Dorothy, Georges won't be cross any more, now. I sent him a card little time ago. Kind regards to you all. I hope you enjoy yourself now. Please let me know how is your finger now? Better surely.
It then continues on numbered lines at the top: Please, now, sent me the cards to Versailles. I shall put my address on the other side of that card. I shall soon send you some postcards from. I must tell you that when I ride on horseback I never wear any red clothes and never run into the bushes. In Paris, we never smoke like that boy on your P.C. But I think you saw Paul and I smoking so you must know now. Am waiting for some news. Sincerely yours, Gaston.
In 1903, Dorothy Cornelius was seventeen years old. She lived at 11 Coleraine Road Blackheath in the house of her parents Joshua and Ada Cornelius. Her father was an inspector for the Board of Agriculture. She had a twin brother, Joshua, and a younger brother Cecil.
The family do not appear to be on the 1911 census, and may have gone abroad.

when Night comes, it bellows. sweeping tree lines and waking the dead, Night lingers in the bark crevices, beneath rotting leaves, and in the folds of her blood dress. when He comes, she stands, alert, her blood thumping against the veins like a snake writhing as afarmer quickly chops the head off. Night is ideal for searching. three years have trudged on, but mother has not been found.
fear follows her, it lifts her up into the copper shadows, but it never waits or lingers. as quick as it is there, it is gone. she is left with only a brazen lantern, a candle's flame blinking in the wind, and a red dress that is just a reminder of a mother she never knew.
Lightbox this. It makes it larger and looks better
I'm really, really happy with this. I bought this dress for 5 bucks at a thrift store. It's hideous, but it has so much personality and so many stories behind it. Kudos to my friend Adam for the location and hair styling and to Sarah for being still since I shot with a longish exposure. I wanted this to look like a painting, and it does. It's always exciting when a photo looks exactly like it does in your mind. :)
Also, my junior year of college has began and I am swamped with homework, work, workstudy, my presidency of our Gay-Straight Alliance, and my 365. I'm going to keep photographing though!
P.S. That is Sarah Ann Loreth's lantern. :)
Remember back when we could all gather as a group?
Remember back when when we could go to a baseball game?
Remember back when we could shake hands with a new acquaintance?
Remember back when we could go shopping anywhere and have lunch or dinner at a restaurant?
Remember back when we were not afraid to leave our house?

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils..
-William Wordsworth
When I was a small boy " ; ) " and the internet was young, so young in fact that they didn't call it "The internet" not even the WWW it was called the World Wide Web, the marketing campaign for this phenomenon was "No borders and No rules“
The governments of this world was chocked!
No rules?! They cried.
No borders?! They wept.
Ever since that day a long time ago the different governments of this world have searched for a way of controlling the internet.
Up until now they had fought in wain, for the internet was run by corporations and universities.
Information wants to be free, you can't control the freedom of creativity. The universities said.
Impose restrictions? Then no one will pay for using it. The companies said.
Then something happened, 9/11and flukeish enough 911 days later the attack on Barcelona, and yes I know that the number of the American distress call is 911.
The world was in shock.
Do something, stop this! People screamed.
And the governments did, they invented the Patriot act.
( www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html )
"This stupid law is even in some use here in Sweden.
Sweden?! The one country in the world where all is welcome and the value of human life is greater than anything in the world"
And the people accepted this, if the people had not, then the internet would still be free. Now they have the power to control, the power to impose.
If you don't follow our rules, then to hell with you. The governments say.
I don't think it’s fair to blame the flickr team, yes they should have consulted us the paying users before they did this, but I think their only option was do this or shut down the German, Malaysian, Singaporean, Korean and Hong Kong servers. Blocking users of named countries from even watching flowers and landscapes.
We can fight as much as we want, we can scream as much as we want, it will be of no use.
But this is no reason to stop.
We will scream! We will fight!
But remember that a protest is a protest until someone throws a Molotov, then it's a riot.
As long as we are protesting within the boundaries the law, we will be able to keep this going, and maybe win this.
But as soon as someone throws that first Molotov we will shift the power over to them, and they will start to ban users and maybe even shut down the servers in the affected countries.
So instead of blaming the flickr crew you should help them, there are a lot of us flickr users out there and I’ll bet some of you living in Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea and Hong Kong and use flickr have a better knowledge of the laws in your countries than they have on flickr headquarters, mail them and give them some advice and show them the loopholes.
And please stop this crying of Nazis, Germany is one of the countries affected and our German friends have suffered enough of the war, there are not many left in Germany who actually participated in that horrid event so lay of the Nazi bit ok. Forgive but don't forget.
*****************************Remember*******************************
Play this straight and maybe we will win this.
English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
Francais:
Si votre compte Yahoo! est basé à Singapour, à Hong Kong, en Corée ou en Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui n'ont pas été marquées comme ayant un contenu qui peut choquer. Toutes les autres ne vous seront pas accessibles. Vous serez donc condamnés à ne voir que des paysages et des fleurs. Il ne faut pas laisser faire ça. Envoyez cette photo sur votre compte pour montrer à Flickr que nous savons nous mobiliser contre la censure !
Español:
Si tu Yahoo! ID está basada en Singapor, Alemania, Hong Kong o Corea sólamente verás contenido llamado seguro basándose en nuestros términos de servicio locales y no podrás deshabilitar el modo de búsqueda segura..
En otras palabras esto significa, que usuarios alemanes p.ej. ya no podrán acceder a fotos en flickr que hayan sido "flagged", es decir marcadas como no seguras y para todo público... solamente flores y paisajes para los alemanes ...
No permitiremos que ésto suceda! Copia y carga esta foto a tu cuenta de yahoo por favor para mostrar a flickr quienes somos!
Português:
Se você tem uma Yahoo! ID de Cingapura, Alemanha, Hong Kong ou Coréia você apenas será capaz de ver fotos classificadas como seguras e segundo seu termo de serviços não poderá desligar esta função.
Em outras palavras: alemães, coreanos, cingapurenses e os habitantes de Hong Kong não podem visualizar fotos no flickr que estejam classificadas como restritas ou moderadas.... apenas flores e paisagens para eles.
Nós não vamos deixar isto acontecer! Copie e faça upload desta foto - mostre ao flickr quem somos!
Name: James Currey
Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 27 July 1905
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-75-James Currey
Images are also available of his accomplices John Curry www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/16091228264/in/album-72157... and Robert Smith www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/19144732584/in/dateposted/.
The Shields Daily News for 28 July 1905 reports:
“THEFT FROM SMITH’S DOCK. THREE NORTH SHIELDS MEN SENT TO PRISON.
At North Shields Police Court today, Robert Smith (48), fireman, 9 Middle Street, Milburn Place; John Curry (39), 25 Front Street, and James Curry (35), 3 West Street, Milburn Place, marine store dealers, were charged on remand with having stolen from Messrs Smith’s Pontoon Dock, on the 25th inst., a quantity of brass valued at £4 17s 1d.
John Craigie, foreman fitter with the prosecutors, said that on the morning of the 26th inst. he went into the engine room of the pontoon and missed a quantity of brass. In the afternoon of the same day he accompanied an officer to No.25 Front Street, Milburn Place, and there identified a portion of the stolen metal.
James C. Smith, store keeper with Messrs Smith’s Dock Coy. Ltd, said that on the morning of the 26th inst. He missed a quantity of brass, and afterwards went to the Central Police Station. He was there shown a quantity of brass, which he identified as the property of Messrs Smith. The total weight of the metal was 116 lbs and the value was $4 17s 1d.
Joseph Garrick, a rigger and stevedore, said that on the 25th inst, he saw Smith and James Curry go into the Aberllelyn Arms in Front Street, Milburn Place. At a late hour on the same night he saw Smith go over the wall of Messrs Smith’s premises, enter the engine room and afterwards leave with a bag of metal. He gave information to the police.
PC Cuerton said that at 11.40pm on the 25th inst. he saw John Curry go into his house and at midnight he saw his brother leave the house and walk in the direction of his own.
Detective Sergt. Scougal said that at noon on the 26th inst. he went to the house of John Curry with a search warrant and found underneath the bed a quantity of brass, which was identified as the property of Messrs Smith by the witness Craigie. He then proceeded to No. 9 Middle Street, where he saw Smith. He told him he was going to take him to the Bull Ring Police Station, whereupon his wife said: “What’s the matter, Bob?”. Accused replied: “There has been some brass stolen from Smith’s”. Witness charged him with having stolen the brass, and he replied: “I know nothing about it”.
At five o’clock the same afternoon he met the two Currys in the Borough Road and told them he was going to take them to the Bull Ring Police Station. They both replied: “It is only a bit of spite because we would not do the same as him”. The following morning he charged the three of the prisoners with the theft. Smith replied: “I have nothing to say”. John Curry replied: “We got the best part of the brass from the saw mills, We only got two small pieces from Smith and gave him a couple of bob for them”. James in answer to the charge said they got most of the metal from the saw mills. Formally charged, the whole of the prisoners pleaded guilty.
Mr G.R. Duncan, who represented the accused, said that Smith, who could produce discharges covering a period of twenty years, showing an excellent character, had been employed for some time as a fireman by the prosecuting firm. Unfortunately, having got some drink, he yielded to the temptation while working on the night shift, and in consequence had lost his situation. Both he and his wife were most distressed about it. The two Currys were licensed marine store dealers bearing good characters.
The Chairman said the case was too serious to be dealt with under the First Offenders’ Act and the amount involved was too large to permit of a fine being imposed. The prisoners would each be committed for a month".
This may not have been Curry's last brush with the courts. The Shields Daily News for 15 November 1907 reports:
"WIFE ASSAULT.
James Curry, a young man, was summoned for having assaulted his wife on the 9th inst. Complainant said that on the date in question her husband came home drunk and without receiving provocation badly used her, blackening one of her eyes. He was frequently drunk and whenever he was in that condition he ill-treated her, using pokers, chairs and anything else he could lay his hands on. She had him before the magistrates nine years ago and she had then only been seven months married. Defendant promised to behave himself better in future. The Chairman (Coun. Addison) severely repromanded the dfendant in imposing a fine of 10s and costs or 14 days."

Remember when you were young,
You shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes,
Like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Rappelle toi quand tu étais jeune,
Tu brillais comme le soleil.
Continue de briller toi le diamand fou.
A present il y a un regard dans tes yeux,
Comme des trous noirs dans le ciel.
Continue de briller toi le diamant fou.

A extremely rare trip to London, to see a friend before she heads home to her native Germany... Couldn't resist the opportunity to snap the Eye for the first time. Although I've been on it and seen it a number of times, this is the only photo I've ever taken of it.
A great memory of the night.
When Kevin shot a short film, his friends came in full force. Some worked on the production and some just gave moral support. They had fun posing in a nearby parking lot afterwards.
To all of you, guys, thanks!
You can appreciate this better if Viewed on Black, i promise :)

About
The last leaf on a tree, for the 'Autumn' photo competition at work, almost ran out of time.
----
I've been away for a few weeks, sadly to say because my father in law died after a long struggle against an incurable lung desease.
I think this leaf is fitting.

This tranquil scene of 40 years ago might stir considerable nostalgia.
İstanbul in 1976 was peaceful, safe and - interesting. Very interesting. Imagine my great surprise when asked - by a teller at the bank where I was changing money - "What do you think of white Americans?"
(Eartha Kitt, the great African-American singer and actress, might have remarked, "Oh, those Turks!"
(Miss Kitt recorded a classic Turkish folk song, "Kâtıbim," in 1953; it is known in the U.S. as "Uska Dara (A Turkish Tale);" "Uska Dara" = Üsküdar'a, as in" Üsküdar'a gider iken." A "YouTube" audio is here. A "YouTube" clip of a 1967 television performance is here. Also of interest: "Üsküdar Vapurunda "Katibim" Sürprizi.")
Nostalgia aside, this photograph belies the political atmosphere of the times. The first "Nationalist Front" cabinet (Milliyetçi Cephe Hükûmetleri), a four-party coalition government organized by Süleyman Demirel during 1975, would collapse during 1977. Demirel's "Second Nationalist Front" cabinet (2. Milliyetçi Cephe Hükûmeti) would last for an even shorter interval . . .
In that era, pre-Internet, pre-social media (e.g. Twitter), a visitor who did not read the news might have come to İstanbul, stayed for a few days and then departed, all the while remaining blissfully unaware of Turkey's ongoing political turmoil.
UPDATE: I made the original scan of this image with the scanner set for too low of a resolution. I've made a "rescan" and uploaded it above (2021 October 27).
