2019 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Silverstone Circuit, near Silverstone, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. Race Day, Sunday 14th July 2019.
About the subject.
This is the British driver Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes AMG-Petronas F1 W10 EQ Power+ single-seat, open-wheel formula car, with number 44 painted on it, which is his personal racing number. Note the white lettering on the tyres (tires), indicating hard compound tyres.
Here, he is seen at the end of the race, driving off the track to get closer to the grandstand, so fans can get a closer view of him waving at them. I took the photo from my front row seat.
At that time, he won his 7th race of the 2019 season, and his 6th at his home race.
Hamilton, whose full name is Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, was born on 7th January 1985, in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. His father bought him a go-kart when Hamilton was at the age of 6, and promised to support him in his racing career.
At the age of 8 in 1993, he started proper karting, and shortly afterwards started winning karting races and championships. One day he asked McLaren boss Ron Dennis for an autograph and also said he wants to drive F1 when he grows up.
In 1998, Dennis offered him a place in the McLaren driver development programme, and by 2007, he got a seat in a Formula One race. Making him, to date, the first and only black driver to drive in F1.
He came so close to winning the World Driver’s Championship in 2007, short of only just 1 point, but by the following year, in 2008, he won his first Championship.
In 2013, he moved to join Mercedes, and went on to win 6 more championships, making a total of 7 titles, equalling Michael Schumacher.
The F1 W10 EQ Power+ was developed by Mercedes-Benz for the 2019 Formula One season, and took 15 wins, 10 pole positions, 9 fastest laps, and the 2019 Constructor’s Championship.
Although Mercedes had been in F1 back in the 1950s, and withdrew from motor racing in 1955, the current Mercedes-AMG F1 Team started 2010 after buying Brawn GP. The team then went on to win 7 Constructor’s Championship.

The owner of the lighthouse gets supplies via boat.
By luck we were near the trig pillar when the owner was heading to towards the jetty.
We had a nice chat and I think with got all the points - 3pts each for the caves we found, 5pts for doing the scramble and 10pts for getting the view to the west.
And we got a much better higher route back, seeing both red deer and later when we came down to the coast, seals.

Personality: Normally Orison is a very quiet and pious young man. He reads his bible regularly and prays the rosary every night repenting for his sins and asks for penance for his inability to stop his wrath. He fights it every time but the rage is too strong for him. While Berserk, he is a merciless fighter. Not one to shy away from anyone or thing, he throws himself into battle and strikes down anything in his way, leaving destruction in his wake.
History: At the age of 5 years old, Orison's parents began noting that the young child although normal most of the time had a very mean streak to him at other times. When spanked for misbehaving, he'd throw the worst tantrums that his parents and even psychologists had ever seen. Prescribed to medication to calm him down did nothing to lessen his violent nature.
Growing up he was always a small lanky boy which just fueled bullies to pick on him and tease him. He couldn't help that he was small, he was born 4 weeks premature and hadn't grown to his full size yet. In his early teens, his anger became clear to all and no longer explainable as tantrums. HE played junior league hockey until he was thrown out for hospitalizing the entire bench of the opposing team.
After each attack, orison would rush to the local church and confess all his sins and do penance regularly. Numerous times, he begged the priest to perform an exorcism upon him to get the demon of hate out of him. However, the priest never gave into the request. He believed Orison just had anger issues.
Upon reaching high school, things didn't get much worse. Orison developed a sense of altruism because of his study of the Scriptures, he couldn't see harm come to other people. On a day that forever is burned into his mind, Orison tapped into his true power along with the first willing use of his berserker spirit. Some weak minded student had lost touch with reality and brought a gun to school. He open fired inside Orison's class.
The screaming from the scared and wounded triggered something within the man. Their painful wails filled his body with a sense of power and Orison turned rage-filled eyes upon the shooter. From the pious man's lips poured, “Between Heaven and Earth stands Azriel with blade drawn in hand, and he is destruction of all.” The rational mind of Orison became sealed away by the anger and rage he felt towards the school shooter.
Charging through the remaining rounds that the terrified youth unleashed at him, Orison took two shots to the stomach and onto to the shoulder but still he charged. When the bloodlust cleared, Orison awoke staring into the lifeless eyes of the shooter before being carted away to the hospital. Orison was sickened by the murder of the shooter. It took many months of religious and psychological counseling for him to come terms with his actions that night.
His parents, hearing of the institute met and spoke personally with the dean about their son Orison. They wanted their son to attend in hopes of him being able to learn to control his powers.
Berserker trigger: “Between Heaven and Earth stands Azriel with blade drawn in hand, and He is destruction of all.”
Berserker suppression: “Pray to he who presides over every suffering and every wound of the son's of man, the Holy Raphael.”
~ Additional Information ~[/b]
Berserker: The powers of the berserker is unleashed in one of two ways. The first of which being pain. Any amount of pain that causes the afflicted to wince will trigger the blind fury of pure rage. The second method is by use of a trigger phrase, the afflicted can condition their berserking rage to take affect by an uttering of the phrase. Since this is a willful use of anger, the power of the berserker increases slightly when compared to the pain induced rage.
With much thanks to his dear priest, Orison developed a phrase that would lessen his rage and drain away some of his fury. The phrase would cut the time left in his frenzy in half but it needed to be spoken calmly, and clear enough so that Orison could hear each word and intonation.
Either way, when berserk the afflicted can no longer rationalize the world around him. Anyone caught in his path will be viewed as an enemy and dealt with in an appropriate manner, mainly being attacked ruthlessly. While in this frenzy, his body is under constant strain and can only tolerate the stress of berserking for two minutes per dot level.
Because of the terrifying and uncontrollable rage bubbling inside him, the State has mandated that for 22 hours per day he is to be strapped and chained into a steel reinforced electric wheel chair with his arms, legs and chest buckled down and covered with another metal plating to help limit the risk of him breaking free if enraged. At night, he must be strapped and chained down to a metal bed that has a metal lid than is lowered then bolted into place leaving only his head free. This ensures that he doesn't sleep frenzy
Enfield batting against Lancashire League rivals Walsden at Dill Hall Lane. The hosts went down to the league newcomers by seven wickets at the Clayton-le-Moors venue.
Opting to bat, Enfield struggled for runs. Professional Shashrika Pussegolla hit a fairly laboured 78 but the next highest contribution was extras (21), a reflection of weak batting. Walsden were in no hurry to reach their modest target. After taking 2-28, Jake Hooson opened the batting and top-scored with 67 not out. Nick Barker departed three runs shy of a half-century. Thankfully, professional Umesh Karunaratne wasn't in a mood to dawdle and injected some urgency in hastening the visitors towards a comprehensive win. Umesh, unbeaten on 40, clinched victory with a big six.

Enfield Cricket Club were formed in 1859, and the following year played the first games on a part of what is now their Dill Hall Lane ground. The site was levelled in 1860. The first recorded game at the venue, on the border of Clayton-le-Moors and Accrington, was on May 28th that year. The visitors were Church & Oswaldtwistle. In 1892, Enfield became founder members of the Lancashire League. The club are still members today. Enfield have engaged professionals since 1859. Arthur Appleby, from Clayton-le-Moors, was the club's first professional. He went on to play for Lancashire, and toured Canada and the US with an MCC squad also featuring W.G. Grace. Appleby played his final game for Enfield in 1902. He was 59. During the first two decades of the Lancashire League, Tom Lancaster was Enfield's star player. He set batting and bowling aggregate records that still stand. Famous players to have worn Enfield's colours over the years include Eddie Paynter (he played in the 'Bodyline' Test series), Clyde Walcott, Conrad Hunte, Dik Abedspent, Madan Lal, Damien Fleming, Shane Lee (Brett's older brother), Martin van Jaarsveld and Alviro Petersen. Enfield have topped the Lancashire League on five occasions, in 1909, 1943, 1968, 1971 and 1977. They lifted the league's knockout Worsley Cup trophy in 1978, 1979, 1989 and 1991, and were beaten finalists in 1953, 1973 and 1977.

The first recorded game at the venue, on the border of Clayton-le-Moors and Accrington, was on May 28th that year. The visitors were Church & Oswaldtwistle. In 1892, Enfield became founder members of the Lancashire League. The club are still members today. Enfield have engaged professionals since 1859. Arthur Appleby, from Clayton-le-Moors, was the club's first professional. He went on to play for Lancashire, and toured Canada and the US with an MCC squad also featuring W.G. Grace. Appleby played his final game for Enfield in 1902. He was 59. During the first two decades of the Lancashire League, Tom Lancaster was Enfield's star player. He set batting and bowling aggregate records that still stand. Famous players to have worn Enfield's colours over the years include Eddie Paynter (he played in the 'Bodyline' Test series), Clyde Walcott, Conrad Hunte, Dik Abedspent, Madan Lal, Damien Fleming, Shane Lee (Brett's older brother), Martin van Jaarsveld and Alviro Petersen. Enfield have topped the Lancashire League on five occasions, in 1909, 1943, 1968, 1971 and 1977. They lifted the league's knockout Worsley Cup trophy in 1978, 1979, 1989 and 1991, and were beaten finalists in 1953, 1973 and 1977.

Stamford Bridge batting at Fitzwilliam Sports Association, Old Malton, as they ease to a nine-wicket Premier Division victory over Yorkshire Premier League North rivals Malton & Old Malton.
On a green wicket, with the outfield damp after recent rain, run scoring proved difficult.
Brandon Barber, Stamford Bridge's Australian professional, was an exception. With the sun out, and drying the surface, the confident Queenslander struck 68 off 69 deliveries.
Both were promoted from the league's Championship second tier in 2022. Stamford Bridge were champions. Runners-up Malton & Old Malton are this season playing at ECB Premier Division level for the first time. After four league games, they await a first win.

Crossbank Methodists Cricket Club First XI line up for the camera at The Rumbolds before a Bradford League Conference division fixture against Oulton. Both teams went into the match having lost their opening three league games. Oulton, who unlike Bankers had the benefit of batting in sunny conditions, eased to an eight-wicket victory. William Harrison (55 not out) and Jonathan Anson (35) added 80 for the second Oulton wicket.

Crossbank Methodists Cricket Club were formed in 1904. Little is known about their origins, but it's obvious the church was a major influence. Bankers' ground, The Rumbolds, off Lea Road in Birstall Smithies, is named after father and son Alf and Kenneth Rumbold. Alf bought the land in 1953 and Kenneth, who served the club as player, president, chairman, secretary and groundsman, later sold it to them for a token sum. Kenneth was president in 2000 when he died. Crossbank played initially in the Dewsbury & Batley District Sunday School League, a buoyant competition offering a full fixture list. After lifting the League Cup in 1956, they stepped up to the more challenging Dewsbury & District League. The League Challenge Cup found its way to Bankers' trophy cabinet in 1966 and 1971. In the 1980s, the club switched to the Huddersfield Central League, topping Section A in 2003, their centenary season. After a brief decline, back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013, and a place in the Premier League, prompted Crossbank to join in 2015 the Central Yorkshire League. A new pavilion at The Rumbolds was opened that April by Dewsbury-born Yorkshire player Richard Pyrah. In 2016, Bankers became members of the Bradford League upon its merger with the Central Yorkshire competition, and finished a respectable seventh in the Conference division in their debut campaign.
The clubhouse at Stamford Bridge Cricket Club. Captured before a relegation battle with Yorkshire Premier League North rivals York, who won by seven wickets.
Defeat, coupled with Harrogate's surprise six-wicket victory at Dunnington, saw Stamford Bridge plunge a place into the relegation zone. Beaten at Harrogate on August 7, they are now two points from safety. Driffield Town, well adrift at the bottom, gave themselves a glimmer of hope of avoiding the drop after winning, by five runs, at Sherriff Hutton Bridge.
To be frank, Stamford Bridge looked relegation fodder. They batted poorly and their fielding was much less secure than York's.
Having opted to bat, Stamford Bridge soon slid to 9-2 then 36-3. Dominic Blampied, in at No 3, rode his luck in hitting 26. He played and missed a few times, and edged several shots over the slips. No 6 Martyn Woodliffe enlivened proceedings by hitting a four then a six in consecutive deliveries before departing for 15.
From 93-8, the hosts did well to post 131. They were indebted to tailender Jake Dickinson, who contributed an unbeaten 28 and, with William Robertson (9), added 34 for the ninth wicket. Ryan McKendry (3-22) had the best figures. Simon Lambert finished with 2-6.
York, a big club rarely in such trouble in this division, adopted a patient approach when replying. Stamford Bridge had them 55-2 but, at 73-2, dropped No 3 McKendry (34). The culprit appeared to lose his footing. Finlay Bean (40 not out) and McKendry compiled a third wicket stand worth 50. Dave Chaplin took 2-43.

Mature poplars are a striking feature of The Rumbolds, home to Crossbank Methodists Cricket Club. A group of visiting Oulton supporters basks beneath them in late afternoon sunshine as their team close in on an eight-wicket victory in the Conference division of the Bradford League. Both teams went into the match having lost their opening three league games. Oulton, unlike the hosts, had the benefit of batting in sunny conditions. Forming a decisive partnership, William Harrison (55 not out) and Jonathan Anson (35) added 80 for their second wicket.

The substantial red-brick Dill Hall Lane turnstile block at Enfield Cricket Club. A concrete 'Enfield Cricket Club' sign was positioned above the central door. The turnstile block is a relic of an era when Lancashire League cricket - indeed, league cricket as a whole - attracted crowds numbered in thousands. Captured before a seven-wicket defeat by league newcomers Walsden.
Opting to bat, Enfield struggled for runs. Professional Shashrika Pussegolla hit a fairly laboured 78 but the next highest contribution was extras (21), a reflection of weak batting. Walsden were in no hurry to reach their modest target. After taking 2-28, Jake Hooson opened the batting and top-scored with 67 not out. Nick Barker departed three runs shy of a half-century. Thankfully, professional Umesh Karunaratne wasn't in a mood to dawdle and injected some urgency in hastening the visitors towards a comprehensive win. Umesh, unbeaten on 40, clinched victory with a big six.

Ilex Mill, a former spinning and weaving mill, dominates the south side of the Worswick Memorial Ground, home to Rawtenstall Cricket Club. The formerly derelict mill, which dates from 1856 and has Grade II listing, was converted into apartments in 2004. The 'old' Bacup road passes between mill and ground, located in the steep-sided, narrow valley of the Irwell. Pictured with Rawtenstall fielding during the closing stages of a three-wicket defeat by Lancashire League rivals Burnley. The visitors, the 2015 league champions, won with just eight balls to spare.

Rawtenstall Cricket Club, established in the early 1880s, were founder members of the Lancashire League, which they joined in 1892. They have topped the table on six occasions, including back-to-back triumphs in 1981 and 1982, their most recent. Rawtenstall secured the league and Worsley Cup double in 1976. Of the 15 clubs that have contested the Lancashire League, they rate the seventh best in the all-time table.
The narrow, steep sided Irwell Valley provides a delightfully scenic backdrop to cricket matches at the Worswick Memorial Ground, Rawtenstall. Burnley are batting, and an off drive is edging the visitors closer to a three wicket victory - with eight balls to spare - in a Lancashire League fixture.
