^ Google the Port Arthur ruins if you want to see more convict ruins.

We were planning to go there but I got spooked out from the massacre.

^ Hm my mind was buzzing. Makes more sense now. "Convicts" weren't really convicts, just poor people being shipped off from overpopulated Great Britain. I figured that while they were still termed as "convicts" their settlements were mostly small like what you'd find on the American Frontier at the time, but I guess not. I wonder if there's much for old stone ruins on the East Coast.

^ I just read a brief history of it and the 1996 massacre. It seems like an interesting place to visit.
Are you still spooked enough to not go there?

^ I hope when I go back to Tassie I will be brave enough to visit.
I'd love to see it.
I just got this really bad feeling the closer we got, until I said, "Nope, don't wanna go there!"
It felt kinda like I'd be walking over people's graves, or being disrespectful, or something.

Adelong Falls gold fields ruins:

Don't they call that "Goal" down under?

It looks like a picturesque place. I'd love to visit that part of the Republic of Ireland. I never got past Dublin and the Boyne river, and County Donegal.

Some photos of my niece.

That's a good picture and all that pea green goodness as well.

Your niece is adorable. She's as cute as a button.

Well, I agree it's a nice, bright and positive colour, and our general literature is fairly positive as well, but I hope people don't think that we are the Green Party or some other loonies like that!



Thank you!

And how are you getting on?

It's been a while since I've walked through a cemetery. I need to do it again soon.

^ The stylized Irish high crosses are really interesting, did any of them have knot patterns?

First day using my new micro four thirds camera, almost three years ago. SOOC jpg.

I started using that format back in 1981 when it was called 110 film and the SLR was the Pentax Auto 110. I still use those lenses with an adapter.
