Built 1880. Addition to the rear 1985. Built for William King. Then owned by Addison in 1901, Park in 1905, Talbot in 1914 and Williams in 1924.
Named for its location on the lands apportioned to Sir Osmond Gilles (the first Treasurer of SA) was built in the 1880's on land annexed from the Balhannah School House (next door; now a private residence) by the proprietor of the Balhannah General Store (the shops still standing across the road). The cottage was originally of only one bedroom and a living room, and was soon extended to three bedrooms & a living room as the grocer’s family grew.
The newest addition to our family. 105lb 8oz Baby Philip was born in mid September and is healthy as can be. I hope he keeps growing.
The top floor of this building was just added this year (you can distinguish the newer section by the windows.) The other roof top photos in this set were taken from the roof of this building.
The awning and light have been destroyed, probably by a falling tree limb. Also, the overgrowth is notable.
"This chapel was a fifteenth-century addition to the cathedral. It is almost identical in structure to the Chapel of the Corporal. The construction of this chapel (also known as the Cappella Nuova and Signorelli chapel) was started in 1408 and completed in 1444. It is closed off from the rest of the cathedral by two wrought iron gates. The first one closes off the right arm of the transept. It was signed by the Sienese master Conte di lello Orlandi (1337). The second gate stands at the entrance of the chapel and is of a much later date. It was signed by master Gismondo da Orvieto (1516).
"Originally called the Cappella Nuova, or New Chapel, in 1622 this chapel was dedicated to Saint Britius (San Brizio), one of the first bishops of Spoleto and Foligno, who evangelized the people of Orvieto. Legend says that he left them a panel of the Madonna della Tavola, a Madonna enthroned with Child and Angels. This painting is from an anonymous late 13th-century master from Orvieto, who was probably influenced by Cimabue and Coppo di Marcovaldo. The face of the Child is a restoration from the 14th century. This panel stands on the late-Baroque altar of the Gloria, dating from 1715 and made by Bernardino Cametti.
"Fra Angelico and Benozzo Gozzoli began the decoration of the vault of the chapel in 1447. They painted only two sections: Christ in Judgment and Angels and Prophets as they were summoned in the same year to the Vatican by Pope Nicholas V to paint the Niccoline Chapel. Work came to a halt until Perugino was approached in 1489. However, he never began. After being abandoned for about 50 years, the decoration of the rest of the vault was awarded to Luca Signorelli on 5 April 1499. He added the scenes with the Choir of the Apostles, of the Doctors, of the Martyrs, Virgins and Patriarchs.
"His work pleased the board and they assigned him to paint frescoes in the large lunettes of the walls of the chapel. Work began in 1500 and was completed in 1503. (There was a break in 1502 because funds were lacking.) These frescoes in the chapel are considered the most complex and impressive work by Signorelli. He and his school spent two years creating a series of frescoes concerning the Apocalypse and the Last Judgment, starting with the Preaching of the Antichrist, continuing with tumultuous episodes of the End of the World, finding a counterpart in the Resurrection of the Flesh. The fourth scene is a frightening depiction of the Damned taken to Hell and received by Demons. On the wall behind the altar, Signorelli depicts on the left side the Elect being led to Paradise and on the right side the Reprobates driven to Hell. He added to these expressive scenes some striking details.
• The Preaching of the Antichrist was painted shortly after the trial on charges of heresy and execution of the Observant Dominican friar, Giralamo Savonarola in Florence on 23 May 1498. The Antichirst is depicted under the influence of the incarnated angel named Satan who suggests him what to say, while touching his rib cage. The analogy of the Antichrist sowing discord by preaching slander and calumny, would not have been lost on late 15th-century viewers. To underscore the contemporary analogy, at lower right, Signorelli includes recognizable portraits of the young Raphael, in a striking pose; Dante; possibly Christopher Columbus; Boccaccio; Petrarch; and Cesare Borgia, and, on the left, he depicts himself, dressed in noble garments, and Fra Angelico, in his Dominican habit.
• In the left background the Antichrist is expelled from heavens by the archangel Michael, and his acolytes killed by a rain of fire. In the right background he depicts a large, domed temple in the Renaissance style.
• 'The End of the World' is painted over the arch of the entrance to the chapel. Signorelli paints frightening scenes as cities collapse in ruins and people flee under darkened skies. On the right side below he shows the Sibyl with her book of prophesies, and King David with raised hand predicting the end of the world. In the left corner below, people are scrambling and lying in diverse positions on the ground, producing an illusion as if falling out of the painting. This successful attempt in foreshortening was striking in its day.
• 'The Resurrection of the Flesh' is a study by Signorelli, exploring the possibilities of the male and female nude, while trying to recreate a three-dimensional setting. Signorelli shows his mastery in depicting the many positions of the human body. The risen, brought back to life, are crawling in an extreme effort from under the earth and are received by two angels in the sky blowing on a trumpet.
• 'The Damned are taken to Hell' and received by Demons is in stark contrast to the previous one. Signorelli has gone to the extremes of his fantasy and evocative powers to portray his cataclysmic vision of the horrible fate, the agony and the despair of the damned. He uses the naked human body as his only expressive element, showing the isolated bodies entangling each other, merging in a convoluted mass. They are overpowered by demons in near-human form, depicted in colours of every shade of decomposing flesh. Above them, a flying demon transports a woman. This is probably a depiction of the Whore of the Apocalypse.
• 'The Elect in Paradise' shows the elect in ecstasy looking up to music-making angels. The few extant drawings, made in preparation for this fresco, are kept in the Uffizi in Florence. They show each figure in various positions, indicating that Signorelli must have used real models in the nude to portray his figures.
"Below this are smaller paintings of famous writers and philosophers watching the unfolding disaster above them with interest. Legend states that the writers depicted here are Homer, Empedocles, Lucan, Horace, Ovid, Virgil, and Dante, but the identifications are disputed by modern scholars. Several small-scale grisaille medallions depicting images from their works, including the first eleven books of Dante's Purgatorio, Orpheus, Hercules, and various scenes from Ovid and Virgil, among others.
"In a niche in the lower wall is shown a Pietà that contains explicit references to two important Orvietan martyr saints, S. Pietro Parenzo (podestà of Orvieto in 1199) and S. Faustino. They stand next to the dead Christ, along with Mary Magdalen and the Virgin Mary. The figure of the dead Christ, according to Giorgio Vasari, is the image of Signorelli's son Antonio, who died from the plague during the course of the execution of the paintings. This fresco was Signorelli's last work in the chapel. But Tom Henry in his book "The Life and Art of Luca Signorelli" (Yale University Press, 2012) states that Vasari's story is not correct: "Signorelli had two sons, Antonio and Tomasso. Tomasso outlived his father and Antonio was alive when this Lamentation was delivered in February 1502, dying a few months later in July 1502." (Preface, p. xiii)"

This is an addition the Centennial Student Union. To the left there used to be an outside sunken garden area.
21 - Jun - 2012:
My latest addition to the iPhone photography gear arrived today from sunny California & is an update to my Diff case.
I got the Diffcase some time ago, it;s a hard plastic case for the iPhone which comes with two tripod bushes, you can see it on the photo of my Triggertrap a few days ago.
The only problem with the Diff Case is that when the iPhone is safely inside, you can't use the add-on magnetic lenses as the aperture for the lens is too small.
Someone in California obviously thought about this and they have designed a new back for the case. This one is solid rather than having an opening flap like the original, and the aperture is much bigger. They've also designed some lens holders into which you can slot the lens, insert it into the case and twist it so it gives the lens more protection against coming off the phone.
A couple of additions from yesterday's set at the Inn of Olde. I was fooling around with split toning.
Chad performed quite an interesting interpretation of "Drunken Sailor". He is a funny man.

In addition to the refuges in the Sacramento Valley we have a lot of rice farming which create ponds for geese habitat. these appeared to be resting. As we watched several groups flew in.
OSF St. Joseph Medical Center - Bloomington, IL - C-Section Addition – PJH was the construction manager to this addition to the existing birthing center. This project consisted of the build-out of a shelled room inside of the fully functioning C-Section suite. Thus detailed temporary barriers and infection control was required to maintain existing services at all times.
The area was originally a 3 season porch. The existing deck was supported while the demolition/construction of the addition was being performed. The entire structure was removed down to the foundation. The foundation was built to match the height of the existing house. According to the supplied architectural plans, the new structure was built. The roof lines were integrated into one another, siding was blended from old to new, and the deck was attached to the new addition. The new addition was to accommodate the new kitchen. All the necessary pluming, electrical, and structural work was performed. The new kitchen featured a cathedral ceiling, sky light, oak floors, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a teak center island and dining table.

Bolton’s Neighbourhood Team joined partners on Monday to seize nearly one-hundred canisters of nitrous oxide in addition to cannabis, illegal tobacco, and illicit vapes in a day of action.
The group, which included local officers, trading standards, immigration officials, the fire service, and specialist sniffer dogs carried out the searches at six premises on Derby Road, Bolton, including restaurants, shops, and takeaways.
The activity was carried out to ensure that work was being conducted legally and within the confines of their licenses. This included dealing with reports of illegal activity that have come in from the local community, such as anti-social behaviour, suspected drug-related criminality in the area, and more.
Immigration officials checked the legality of workers, the dogs checked for illegal tobacco and cash hordes, and the fire service checked to ensure buildings were adhering to the appropriate health and safety rules.
The day resulted in numerous positive results, including the recovery of 97 canisters of nitrous oxide gas from two vehicles which were identified by the sniffer dog team.
Nitrous Oxide became a Class C drug in 2023, which allows police further powers to seize and arrest those who possess and sell it for illegal purposes. The two cars were seized by officers.
In addition, a quantity of cannabis in snap bags was located, as well as illicit vapes which do not conform to UK standards. All were seized by police and trading standards.
The activity in the area will continue as officers bid to clamp down on suspected criminality, which will include further visits, proactive patrols, stops, and more.
Anyone in the Bolton area and who has information they would like to pass to police are asked to contact their local neighbourhood policing team. You can do this by speaking to an officer in the street, attending a PACT meeting, or by reporting the information online at gmp.police.uk.
You can also contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Sergeant Oliver Cooper, from GMP’s Bolton district, said: “When people let us know about suspected illegal activity in their area, we investigate it to the best of our ability and utilise all the resources we have available.
“Illegal business practices and illegal behaviour will be dealt with accordingly and with the safety and security of local people at the forefront of any decisions. Monday’s actions show just how much we are dedicated to reducing crime in the Bolton area.
“If you have any concerns or tips that you’d like to pass on, I would urge you to get in touch with us.”
