Rebecca Ore Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) This one just passed QC, and is of a feral (possibly handled as a kitten, also possibly abused) tom (real problems with his spraying) who had been trying to invade the house by either slow blinking me or fighting the other cats. Lola the dog set a limit on permitted cats to three and chases any others. The little tom beats up my calico female, and won't be welcome until he's fixed, if Luis catches him again (cat carrier door hit the house door and opened the only time Luis did get him crated for a while). I've tried petting him, but get swatted, though with claws retracted. I had a camera out checking lenses when he showed up. High ISO noise fixed with the new AI noise reduction. Old Sandinista. Marco Gonzalez, Nicaraguan lawyer, son of a lawyer who opposed Somoza, from an FSLN family, fought during the rebellion against Somoza, also lived in Russia, Cuba, Sweden, Guatemala, the USA, and Venezuela. Brother of a friend. Currently in seclusion because of ill health, photo take before then.

zxzoomy Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 5th February, 2014. Time is about 10.50 am. Emergency service vehicles block Oxford Road, Manchester, University of Manchester area, UK, as fire brigade officers try to free people trapped in two cars after a serious road traffic accident. Police have closed the road with a cordon and it is filled with police, paramedic and fire engine vehicles. (Additional info: The Manchester Evening News reported at the time: 'A man is seriously ill in hospital after a car and private hire car collided outside Manchester University. Police believe the red Lexus car and silver Toyota Avensis collided head-on outside the Oxford Road campus this morning. The 24-year-old driver of the Lexus, which overturned in the smash, is being treated at the Manchester Royal Infirmary. His condition has been described as serious. The 48-year-old cab driver suffered fractured ribs. Neither vehicle was believed to be carrying any passengers.'). (Personal: I came out of the dental hospital re. my tooth and arrived at this. The quality is only just good enough to be uploaded as archival. A policeman told me to stop taking photos from outside the cordon with a dslr, despite dozens of students next to me taking photos with phones. . He threatened to take my camera away as it 'might contain evidence relevant to a crime'. I left at that point and made a complaint to GMP. A senior officer and the local Police Commissioner then confirmed that it was up to the police to set a cordon as large as they wanted and people had the right to take photos from outside the cordon.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zxzoomy Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Manchester, UK, 26th July, 2023. An accessible toilet at Piccadilly Station, Manchester, UK, is 'out of use'. Street scenes or hidden corners, central Manchester, UK. Credit: Terry Waller/Alamy Live News. (A personal note: by frequent lobbying I think I've got the up escalator from the Metrolink tram platform at this station working consistently: Metrolink staff say young people switch it off for fun. Staff then use a key to switch it on. I think the UK is going backwards on access issues. In many other countries, like Turkey, Qatar, UAE, Thailand, Vietnam, similar services work, are switched on, and the toilets are open and clean).

zxzoomy Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Useful, I think, to be familiar with the Gerasimov doctrine re the Russian war on Ukraine and further afield. eg. France riots. A good book: War With Russia: A Menacing Account by General Sir Richard Shirreff, publ. 2016. Manchester, UK. 21st July, 2023. Hundreds of school children, mainly teenagers, stampeded, while often screaming, in city centre Manchester, UK. Police summoned reinforcements to set up a line near Market Street Metrolink tram stop to prevent crowds of youths going further into the city centre. The Manchester Evening News reported that someone threw eggs and drinks at police, children 'ran riot' and, at 17.27, that 'Police have just announced there is now a dispersal order in place - and if you don’t move when asked “you may be arrested”'. Credit: Terry Waller/Alamy Live News Manchester, UK. 21st July, 2023. Hundreds of school children stampeded in city centre Manchester, UK. Police summoned reinforcements to set up a line near Market Street Metrolink tram stop to prevent crowds of youths going further into the city centre. Someone threw eggs and drinks at police, local media reports, saying children 'ran riot'. Today was last day of school in many schools. At 17.27 the local paper reported that 'Police have just announced there is now a dispersal order in place - and if you don’t move when asked “you may be arrested”' Credit: Terry Waller/Alamy Live News I think these women (centre, holding each other) were upset and anxious. To get home they seemed to want to walk forwards. The local paper reported incidents of people being assaulted by groups of the youth crowd, who may look like children on these photos.

Bryan Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It's a struggle trying to find an original shot of a well photographed landmark, so I was pleased to spot these two swans feeding in sight of Durham Cathedral. Mind you it took a while to clone out the plastic bottles etc floating in the river, some people ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
