Temporary absence with the occasional look-in

 

Media_httpbadgefacebo_cjxvd
Sorry for my absence here lately, Tumblrs, but any of you who are on Facebook and following events in the Middle East … please get in touch with me there.

In view of the massive amount of wordage being generated by the flotilla massacre, and my long-standing interest in Palestine, Facebook is the only place to be for continuous links and discussion.

Tumblr will get priority again when I feel “caught up” or Gaza is free, which ever comes first.

I do hope it doesn’t take forever …

Why has my dashboard turned black?

 

Would it be too optimistic to think the Tumblr powers-that-be are leading us in the mourning for nine men who died for the cause of Gaza and Palestine, shot in the backs and branded as “terrorists”?

Anyone, how that’s how I’m choosing to see it.

Update

OK, I have an answer, via Sita, HERE

I thoroughly support the sentiments and will now mourn for thousands of fish and birds, the Gulf of Mexico shoreline, the Caribbean Sea and nine assassinated men.

Hadn’t seen the message from Tumblr, Sita; haven’t been around here much, I’m afraid. (Just busy elsewhere)

Rule, or Roel, is a young Belgian photographer who says:

i used to visit some places in the neighborhood without a cam. Then my intrest in photography grew and i documented a few places, searched a bit on the net without even knowing the term Urbex.

But he was a natural for urbex; his photos are stunning!

Englishman Howzey has more than 2000 photos on Flickr, arranged by place and subject matter into something like 75 sets. The odd abandoned mansion was inevitable!

Anders R. Naesset’s specialty is seascapes in his native Norway. Absolutely must viewing, IMO!

Posted on the rather high-brow Palestinian-friendly Pulse blog for a little light relief.
