On some positive notes. Humans and bees can peacefully coexist.

Giant bee city discovered in the State of New York, it's not a hive but a complete ecosystem.

Anton makes a minor mistake about NYC and New York State but honestly, I don't even know why I know that, it's not even important to me, because I live on the other side of our ball.

The Angel's Vigil

Kapunda Cemetery, Kapunda, South Australia.

Kapunda is home to two primary historical cemeteries: the Kapunda Cemetery (the main town cemetery) and the St John’s Catholic Cemetery, which is located a few kilometres outside of town and carries a more somber, legendary history.

Kapunda Cemetery serves as a record of the pioneers who built the copper mining town.

The first recorded burial took place on 9 November 1851, for Christopher Biggs, who tragically drowned at Light Bridge.

BLOG POST: How I wrote 'Damnatio Memoriae', the eighth story in my new collection 'Thin Places in Hard Concrete'. It also explains why I'm in the habit of collecting names from headstones.

Roaming Towards Myself May 6

Quick Q and A!

Which is the best thing to do in your city? Which is the best thing to do in your city?That’s a tricky question for me at the moment because I don’t really have a city. I have a backpack, a small suitcase, a very confused sense of direction, and a growing collection of temporary homes across the UK.Right now, “my city” changes every few weeks.

Silent Sentinels of the Barossa Valley.

Angaston Cemetery, Angaston, South Australia.

As the town of Angaston grew and the original cemetery became too small, twelve local citizens purchased four acres from Johann Gottfried Hanisch in 1867 to establish a new cemetery.

These men, among them Charles Holmes, James Jepson, and David Tavender, ran it as a private concern until the District Council of Angaston acquired it in 1911.

The cemetery has since remained a key historical and genealogical site for the region. It’s now located at 302 Angaston Road, with thousands of memorials documented and photographed.
