Blackfriars Train Station`Giving Me A Bit Of Promotion`Via Pop Up Board...Cheers`

The very sad news that I recieved today relating to the death of Steve really knocked the wind out of me… I'm still coming to terms with it. I'm doing a little more of a writeup on my blog about it here...

 

But for now, let me tell you a bit about this photo:

 

I'm a firm believer in the philosophy that it's "Easier to seek forgiveness than seek permission.." — I apply this thought process to a fair deal of the activities I engage in, balancing it of course against risk and legality. But in most cases, I'll jump a fence or cross a few lines to get a good photo. This has happened a fair few times, and I'm still here, unscathed and loving the results.

 

On this occasion, I needed to 'trespass' onto some farmland to get a photo that I saw coming a mile away… One of those situations where you can see time moving and know exactly where you need to be and when. The rather interesting thing about this photo was that it actually caused me to be well over 40 minutes late for an important study session regarding my pilots license. But I can partially put that down to poor navigation and planning on my part, completely underestimating the time it would take to drive to my destination...

A Paan shopkeeper on the way to Bhimashankar from Pune, India. I was charmed by the multitude of novelties he had in his petty shop apart from paan( and it's friends); including, but not limited to, imported cigar(ette)s of the brands like Marlboro, 555, etc., insence sticks, a wide gamut of key chains, perfume, talc powder, shampoo and even bread.

 

The cap he wears, which looks identical to Jawaharlal Nehru's, is called the Gandhi cap, made out of Khādī, is part of the ethnic dress of Maharashtra; started during the pre-independence era in Mahatma Gandhi ji's Khādī Movement, it became a symbolic tradition for freedom activists to wear it in independent India.

Crystal Shrine Grotto is a historic artistic tribute to the life of Jesus at Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis, TN. Cemetery founder E. Clovis Hinds wanted a tribute to Jesus to uplift the mourning visitors to the cemetery. The Grotto features many years of work by Dionicio Rodriguez, but many of the sculptures inside the cave were added decades later by David Day, Luther Hampton and Marie Craig. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places as "Sculptures of Dionicio Rodriguez at Memorial Park Cemetery."

 

Here is the description from Wikipedia:

In 1935 Mexican artist Dionicio Rodriguez was hired to beautify the park with sculptures. Annie Laurie’s Wishing Chair, Broken Tree Bench, Abrahams Oak, Pool of Hebron and Cave of Machpelah are some of the most important sculptures that can be found in different locations throughout the cemetery.

 

In 1938, construction of the Crystal Shrine Grotto began. The grotto is a 60 ft deep, hand-built cave in a hillside near the center of the cemetery, filled with 5 tons of quartz crystal, hence the name Crystal Shrine Grotto. The grotto was completed after Rodriguez' death in 1955. The shrines in the grotto illustrate the stages of "Christ's Journey on the Earth from Birth to Resurrection".

Photos uploaded on Easter Day 2019.

Ralph Thompson was born in 1904. He was the youngest of six children of Thomas and Mary Anne Thompson - Ezra, Mac, Ruth, Theodore, Danecourt and Ralph. He grew up on the family farm east of Harlowe and attended the old one-room Harlowe “Union” school, so-called because it was a boundary school between Barrie and Kennebec townships.

 

On July 8, 1936 Ralph married Annie Cook (1907-1994) on the hottest day on record during the 1936 heat wave. Annie had come from Arthur, Ontario to teach at the Harlowe School. They first lived with his parents on the Gull Lake Road past Viking Lodge in a house that burned down from a chimney fire on a bitter cold night February 22, 1938. Ralph then built the last house on Thompson Road before the lake and raised his family there.

 

Ralph was blind in one eye from a childhood accident that prevented him from going out West with his brothers to work in the wheat fields. He did not let that get the best of him and worked on his dad’s and later his own farm; he built cottages and guided in his dad’s and later his own tourist operation - in the photo he is taking someone fishing.

 

Ralph began working for the township of Barrie when he was in his twenties and worked there for 45 years, retiring in 1975. He started as Clerk and worked at whatever was needed, adding the jobs of Road Superintendent, Building Official and Treasurer over the years. Much of his township work was done in his parlour at home where he had his home-made desk and chair. The safe for the township was in his parlour too, until it was moved into the Cloyne Pioneer Museum with a great effort, where you can see it now. He was Superintendent of Harlowe’s Standard-Wesleyan Sunday School for a number of years.

 

One big event of his work was a trip taken in January 1963 with a group of Councilmen. The Champion Road Machinery Company flew them to Goodrich, Ontario to investigate a new grader that would replace Barrie’s single grader, initially drawn by a team of horses, later by truck (see adjacent photo). Some young men who were still in school remember their excitement when they saw the new grader being driven past the school; the girls could not have cared less.

 

Ralph’s life wasn’t all work. He enjoyed taking pictures, especially of scenery, painting pictures and fishing. He enjoyed travelling to other parts of Canada when he visited some of his kids in Canada’s North and West, especially when he could fly in his son Doug’s plane. He made innumerable trips to watch the process of building the St. Lawrence Seaway, being curious to see how they built the bridges and dams.

 

Ralph passed away on December 18, 1977. Both Ralph and Annie are buried in the Harlowe Cemetery. Ralph’s was a life well lived.

 

Thanks to Eileen Flieler who spent time with Dorothy Thompson, Ralph’s daughter for the photos and writeup.

Quote: An English Proverb

 

So many people doubt the powers of Mother Nature and test her patience more and more. Somebody keeping calm/patient shouldn't be mistaken that he/she is timid and inert; one of these days, if She shows a little wrath of hers, it will be unbearable for incompetent, selfish creatures like us. It's time we show a little respect to someone from whom we get our body, mind and soul. It's all Hers and little time will it take for Her to take them back.

 

Also, for people who think they are helping Nature; Sorry, you are misinformed. 4 billion years ago did She stay a hotbed for life and even after so much of destruction by man will She happily stay so. Why? She has all the time in the world to rejuvenate, for resilience is her inherent excellenc. Hence, if you are doing something, it's purely for us, humankind, for we has very little time to save ourselves.

At WonderCon 2012 ← writeup

Oh man, I don't even know where to start. This weekend was absolutely epic. I guess i'll share my 3 day long adventure with all of you flickr folks.

 

My weekend started Friday afternoon when I decided to drive down to Patrick's (Quickworks Photo) house, 2 hours south of where I live. I got there around 8pm due to traffic. At Patricks I met up with Mike (TokenMediaGroup) and Carlos (Quickworks). Originally we had planned on leaving Saturday morning around 4am but then we said why not just leave tonight? Shortly after, it was 1AM and we were on our way to Wek'Fest LA. With tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera gear in the trunk, we proceeded to instagram our road trip. Yes, we did instagram our way down.

 

I'm starting to realize if I keep explaining my weekend in this much detail i'm going to have to write a book so i'm going to make this more brief starting meow.

 

When we arrived at Patrick's cousins house at 5:30am we started sleeping, only to wake up up for Wek'fest 3 hours later. Fuck yeah! sort of. Once we woke up for Wek'fest we realized everybody had tooth brushes, but no toothpaste was nowhere to be found so we ended up buying toothpaste and brushing our teeth in the Mens Target bathroom. Except for Kreayshawn, she went to brush her teeth in the Womens bathroom.

 

Upon arrival to Wek'fest I met some awesome people and i'm going to try to list them all right now but i'll probably fail. John Zhang (1013mm) Courtney Michelle Wingfield (I<31013mm) David Do (Mayday Garage) Antonio Alvendia (Motormavens) Joy Abdalla (Super cool SEMA STi Driver) Katie Smith (Ruble Wagon, I know you know this car! She owns it) Laura Keller, Vinnie Nguyen, Kevin Sang, William Joon Lee, Alex James, Steve Demmitt, and Luke Munnell. If I missed you which I may very well have, I apologize in advance.

 

When Wek'fest was over, Patrick, Carlos, Mike and I went to Rachaels house in Long Beach to meet up with Heather (Mah Girlfran). We met up with the majority of the people mentioned above to go out and about in Downtown LA until 3AM.

 

Well, it's a good thing I didn't post this as a facebook status. I think I would have been befriended by every friend I have on Facebook.

 

All in all this weekend has been an absolute blast! It was a pleasure meeting everyone and I look forward to seeing you guys at future events.

 

If you have read this far, I congratulate you. :D

This was taken on the night before my grand parents 80th anniversary wedding @ my native village. This is our house, which is the place of venue for all marriages of the family. The interiors you see are the typical signatures of Chettinad houses.

 

In almost all of 60th/80th anniversary weddings of South India, some form of Shiva Shakthi will be the centerpiece. They are to Hinduism what Yin Yang is to Taoism. They denote the duality of nature and yet one can't exist without the other. They complete each other. Shiva is thought and Shakthi is action. Shiva is the male force for which Shakthi is the female energy. She's is the morning while He is the night. The list goes on.

 

The brass pot adorned with garland is called kumbam (கும்பம்); it contains holy water (water with herbs) in front of which sacred hymns are sung in praise of the divine couple. There are 80 of them to denote 80 years. On the day of the wedding, each well wisher will sprinkle this water on the actual couple, after this the wedding happens.

 

And yes, happy birthday to me :)

Here's the local LA Times writeup for the Inaugural Event held in Dec 1924.

The 1924 AAA Season saw the last race (Feb) to be held at the wonderful Beverly Hills Track and the first at its replacement. Benny Hill won the inaugural in the former Miller House Car built in the Fall of 1923 for Argentinian playboy Martin de Alzaga who ran out of cash and rich American socialites and so Miller put Benny Hill in the seat with great success. (Michael Ferner) After a good finish in the car at Indy 1924 Miller decided to give in and installed the first ever SC in a Miller 122 in the car (Mark Dees) Hill went out and immediately won the Culver City Inaugural. On a sad side note the Hill win sealed the deal for the deceased Jimmy Murphy who was posthumously awarded the 1924 AAA Driving Championship.

This is a late submission for our church's Decade on Purpose project. I'm not entirely happy with this writeup yet, but it adequately describes my thought process here. This one is cropped to a 16x20 ratio, but there's more empty desk available on each side if we need a wider print.

 

Born in 1884, Thomas Russell Hollingsworth became a Presbyterian minister in southeastern Nebraska, most notably in the town of Adams. More importantly than teaching his flock, he taught his two children to love God. His son Robert learned that lesson well and passed it on to his three boys. John followed suit, passing his father's and grandfather's faithfulness on to his own four boys. This wonderful heritage continues today, as Ben attempts to model this to his three children. Our prayer is that Micah and the others will be intentional about continuing this heritage for future generations.

 

This writing desk is the one on which T.R. prepared many of his sermon notes like the ones pictured here lying on his Bible. The Bibles shown here belong to each of the five generations mentioned. Photos illustrate the link between the generations and the importance of intentionally teaching the next generation of God's love and faithfulness.

 

The reference on the small sermon note is from the parable of the prodigal son -- a poignant reminder of the consequences of failing to teach the next generation. The remainder of the sheet contains a number of God's attributes, including, "So God is a Father (Jesus loved this title)." God himself models our role as parents, and we are never more like him than when we care for our children.

 

There are a few details in this picture that would be visible in a large print, but aren't on Flickr:

 

* Names embossed on three of the Bibles identify the most recent three generations: John, Ben, and Micah. Incidentally, all three of us are pre-school Sunday School teachers at Berean because we understand the value of teaching the next generation about Christ.

 

* The four lower photos have dates printed along the borders. From left to right, they are APR 61, NOV 72, 1898, and JAN 2010. The old photo on the right is T.R. as a youth, circa 1898. The top (undated) photo is my grandpa Robert, taken around 1980. The far left photo is Robert and his three boys standing in front of T.R.'s house in 1961. Robert is 2nd from left and my 15-yr-old dad (John) is far right in the yellow vest. Next to that photo is my dad holding me at 21 months, standing in front of First Baptist church. The lower right photo is my 10-yr-old son Micah and me building his Cub Scout Pinewood Derby car in our garage this past January.

 

* The article underneath the front Bible identifies T.R. as pastor of the Adams Presbyterian Church.

 

* The lower of the papers sitting atop his Bible is the schedule for a church service. The topmost paper contains notes from a sermon.

 

I need to thank my mom for all her work in tracking down the two older Bibles, Pappy's sermon notes, and the older photos. I also want to thank my dad and brother Casey for their help in coming up with the layout of the objects that you see here. This is a "family photo" in a somewhat unconventional sense.

This house is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It is supposedly perched on the highest point between Weldon, NC and Raleigh NC. It daces the railroad and is across the street from a large abandoned factory I am trying to identify to post pix of. It received the name Mistletoe Villa because back in the day Mistletoe hung thick in the surrounding trees. It is the second huse on the foundation and appears to be under restoration. See the link below for a old picture and also the wiki writeup.

As part of the activities of the 2013 Railfest at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, Southern Railway's EMD FP7 #6133 made a visit. This Diesel locomotive built in 1950 was used to pull their excursion, the Missionary Ridge Local throughout the weekend. It is normally on display at the North Carolina Transportation Museum which offers this writeup:

"Southern Railway #6133: The locomotive was built by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in 1950. This FP-7, operated by the Southern Railway, was the property of the CNO&TP (Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific). The FP designation meant the locomotive could be used for passenger or freight trains, using a 567-B 16 cylinder prime mover, generating 1500 horsepower. These were F-7 freight locomotives with a steam generator placed at the rear of the locomotive, increasing body length by four feet. FP-7 locomotives were used on small branch-line passenger trains throughout the Southern Railway System. By the late 1970s, there were very few FP-7s left on the roster due to Southern eliminating many passenger trains. The 5-8 left were used for excursion trains as part of the Steam Program begun in 1966. The 6133 was donated to the NCTHC in 1980, and restored by the volunteers to its original green/ imitation aluminum paint scheme. It is used to pull the train ride around the property when needed."

 

I took more photos of #6133 than I have posted to flickr. You can also see quite a thorough collection of photos of the highlighted steam locomotive Southern #630, the Missionary Ridge Local with #6133, and other rolling stock on the grounds. This gallery is on my website here:
