The picture was taken during a Flickr photowalk in Lisbon (blog.flickr.net/en/2019/04/29/flickr-photowalk-in-lisbon-...). It was a really great, inspiring and interesting photowalk through this beautiful city with Flickr's COO Ben MacAskill (www.flickr.com/photos/benmacaskill), local photographers, visitors and participants of the Creative Commons Summit. And for the first time in our holiday week in Lisbon even the sun came out.

Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.
This was taken at the Alejandro Robaina Tobacco Plantation in Cuba. It's a world famous tobacco plantation which grows tobacco for some of the most famous cigar brands. Including the Vegas Robaina! I've also just spent an amazing 10 days in Cuba and will get to editing and posting new work soon from the trip. Had a great trip and I'm looking forward to posting new work. This was taken in 2011 on my first trip to Cuba.
With all my ❤️ I thank you for your ⭐ or 💬 or just for 👀 it.

A man with a copy of Socialist Worker during Saturday's march in solidarity with Palestine and in memory of the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh.
"واحتج الآلاف في لندن على مقتل الصحفية شيرين أبو عاقلة "زهرة فلسطين
On Saturday 14 May, thousands assembled in London, both to commemorate the Nakba and also to protest the murder by the Israeli Army of the veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh ("the daughter of Palestine"), while she was covering one of many recent raids by the Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday 11 May, against the West Bank town of Jenin.
SHIREEN ABU AKLEH'S MURDER
"And if they ask you about Palestine, tell them:
In it there is a martyr,
nursed by a martyr,
photographed by a martyr,
sent off by a martyr,
and prayed for by a martyr"
( Mahmoud Darwish)
Initially, Israeli authorities insisted that she had been killed by Palestinian gunmen, but on the ground examination of the video used to support this claim by the leading Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem, clearly demonstrated that it was taken far from the location where Shireen had been shot dead in the face, despite the fact that she was wearing a flack jacket and helmet, both clearkly marked 'Press.' Other Journalists who were present at the scene also testified that it was Israeli soldiers who fired the lethal shots, and that there was no clash as was first claimed, a claim which was also echoed by the mainstream media in Britain and the United States.
Her murder came just days after the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and the International Federation of Journalists had filed an official complaint at the Hague against Israel for 'the systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists,' with an estimate of fifty having been killed in the last twenty years according to PJS records.
Palestinian anger mounted on Friday 13 May, when Israeli police attacked the mourners in East Jerusalem with batons as they exited St. Joseph's Hospital with the coffin on the way to a local church. Al Jazeera's live video coverage and the testimony of witnesses all seemed to indicate that the attack was entirely unprovoked, with no evidence of 'stone throwing' as suggested by Israeli authorities.
Even had there been any such incident, the police action was entirely disproportionate, with the Palestine flag ripped from her coffin, which was momentarily dropped as the police attacked even the pallbearers. As the assault was broadcast live around the world, it seemed to be yet further evidence of the complete impunity Israel believes it has, due to the almost unconditional support it receives from the United States, Britain and other Western nations. Diplomatic statements of concern are the most severe sanction the West ever imposes.
In a pathetic response to a question raised in parliament, Amanda Milling, Minister of State for Asia and the Middle East, explained that she had 'publicly expressed my sadness upon hearing the news of the tragic death of veteran Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, and called for a thorough investigation... The safety of journalists across the globe is vital and they must be protected when carrying out their critical work.' It seems Israel will once again escape any meaningful consequence for its actions.
However, it's not just that the United Kingdom turns a blind eye to Israeli violence - it also actively supports it.
Israeli pilots are routinely invited to the UK to train alongside the RAF, while the British and Israeli navies also routinely engage in joint exercises, all at a time when Israel's air force regularly attacks civilian infrastructure in Gaza (including Al Jazeera's offices in May 2021) killing 64 civilians since 2010 and when Israel's navy operates to blockade Gaza, where as a consequence one third of essential drugs are unavailable, 54% of the population are food insecure and 95% of the population have no access to safe drinking water.

Israel's largest arms company, Elbit Systems, also continues to run subsidiaries within the UK, and the UK continues to supply Israel with crucial military equipment, particularly for aircraft and radar systems.

COMMEMORATION OF THE NAKBA
Palestine solidarity demonstrations to commemorate the Nakba are held annually in London, usually on the Saturday before Nakba Day (15 May), the commemoration of the forced expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes by Israel, which accelerated following the declaration of establishment of the state of Israel on 14 May 1948.
Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion had informed his political and military colleagues that an Israeli state in which Jews made up only 60 per cent of the population was not viable. As Israeli historian Ilan Pappe points out, the obvious implication was that "the fewer Palestinians in a Jewish state the better."

The Nakba had already started as early as November 1947 as British forces. which controlled the Palestine mandate, withdrew to the Port of Haifa leaving Jewish paramilitary groups to control the remaining areas. By May 1948 300,000 Arab residents of the areas within Palestine designated to become Israel had already been expelled, including many Arab residents Jaffa, Safad, Beisan, Acre and Western Jerusalem. That amounted to nearly two out of every five Arabs living on what would be Israel's side of the demarcation line. Most of the remainder were forced out of their homes in the subsequent months.
Israel's military ethnically cleansed some 530 Palestinian towns and villages, destroying almost all the mosques and many of the houses and committing appalling crimes against those Palestinians who had chosen to remain despite the threat of violence. It is estimated that some 15,000 Palestinians were murdered.

Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa (Worker and Kolkhoz Woman) (Russian: Рабо́чий и колхо́зница Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa) is a sculpture of two figures with a sickle and a hammer raised over their heads. It is 24.5 meters (78 feet) high, made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of the socialist realistic style, as well as Art Deco style. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.
Recycling and waste sector employees have been granted 'key worker' status by the government recognising the key role of recycling and waste operatives. This means they will continue to receive educational and care provision for their children during the coronavirus crisis.
Ashleigh and her colleague pass me in their waste collection vehicle about 7 am each morning. They empty the 3 different recycling bins all along the coastal path. Both always have their protective masks and gloves on, even when they're driving.

Inmigrants are an important part of life in southern Sicily. In spite of problems of racism and intolerance this part of Italy has become an example of convivence.
Le Concerie di Fez, o Chouara, con il loro odore pungente, le enormi vasche di pietra piene di pigmento e le pelli stese ad asciugare una dietro l’altra, sono famose in tutto il mondo. Qui sono impiegati tutt’oggi i processi utilizzati nel XVI secolo, quando Fez si è imposta come leader nella loro produzione, per trattare le pelli di mucca, cammello, pecora e capra.

In 2124, when humanity had finally resolved all conflicts on earth and started gazing outwards, they needed a cheap and efficient craft to manipulate debris in space. The Worker Bee was the solution: cheap to build, cheap to maintain, but incredibly reliable. As its inventor Trevor McGregor always said: "It ain't designed to win no fancy awards, just git the job done."
I've been building on this small craft for more than six years. It has been wrecked by moves and children until I finally decided to finish it. I'm particularly pleased with the sliding mechanism in the center. It's held in place by an old M-Tron magnet and is really satisfying to slide back and forth.
