The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.
The official date of foundation of the company is considered to be 1849. This year, on December 6, the confectioner "had the good fortune to deliver" products of his skill to the table of members of the imperial family, and for those products he received the highest approval of the Empress and Grand Duchesses. Already 2 years later, in 1851, a workshop for the production of sweets and chocolate, opened according to Württemberg by Theodor Ferdinand von Einem, began work on the Arbat. In 1867, an entry appeared in the directory "Factory enterprises of the Russian Empire": "Einem. The partnership of the steam factory of chocolate, sweets and tea cookies". After the October Revolution, the factory was nationalized and received the name "State Confectionery Factory No. 1, formerly Einem". In 1922, she was given the name "Red October".
Официальной датой основания предприятия считается 1849 год. В этот год 6 декабря кондитер «имел счастье поставлять» изделия своего мастерства к столу членов императорской семьи, и за те изделия удостоился высочайшего одобрения Императрицы и Великих Княгинь. Уже через 2 года, в 1851 году, на Арбате начала работу мастерская по изготовлению конфет и шоколада, открытая поданным Вюртемберга Теодором Фердинандом фон Эйнемом. В 1867 году в справочнике «Фабрично-заводские предприятия Российской империи» появляется запись: «Эйнем. Товарищество паровой фабрики шоколада, конфет и чайных печений». После октябрьской революции фабрика была национализирована и получила название «Государственная кондитерская фабрика № 1, бывшая Эйнем». В 1922 году ей присвоили имя «Красный Октябрь»..

Another of the many block posts on the Marches line, Tram Inn is an 1894 built structure working to Hereford in the north and Pontrilas in the south.
Having riddden on the Brompton from Hereford to Moreton-on-Lugg and then down to Tram Inn, I could have done with a bit of luck in photographing the one decent train booked to pass when I was there - unfortunately 1V96 1133 Holyhead to Cardiff was "blunt end first" with DVT 82229 leading the way and 67017 at the rear.
My luck ran out even more when I got the third puncture of the day (the roadside hedges had recently been trimmed, leaving a cocktail of thorns and spikes on the road) - this time trashing the inner tube. With 7 miles still to go I was in for a long walk, until a passing motorist stopped and kindly offered a lift back to Hereford.
A new set of tougher Brompton tyres have already been ordered!

The announcement made in October 2009 by General Secretary Kim Jong-Il, the North Korean leader, to have built 100,000 apartments in Pyongyang by 2012 officially aims at facing the housing shortage in the capital city. But it also represents a challenge to give evidence of the communist regime overall prosperity. The Stalinian regime had already pretended to amaze the rest of the world in the 1950’s claiming its ability to construct an apartment for a family in 14 minutes only!
This time it might be a little different. Despite the university students’ conscription and the mobilization of the army, many observers doubt the ability of North Korea to complete the buildings by its founder’s 100th birthday in 2012. In fact, it is not only a matter of housing: the energy and water supply as well as transports for 100,000 families need the building of extra-infrastructure.
Lately, reports have emerged of construction projects having been downsized and sites idling due to materials shortages. By the end of 2011, only 500 units are built, which forces the authorities to reduce the target to 20,000 to 25,000 apartments in total.

I almost missed this amazing sunset. I was planning to photograph the sunset over at Windansea Beach in La Jolla, but the drive would have taken too long in order to make it in time.
So at the last minute I decided to go to one of my favorite “secret” sunset photography spots in San Diego close to home, the J Street Marina in Chula Vista. I love photographing there because of the boats in the foreground and the fact that I am usually the only photographer around.
The sky was ablaze with vivid colors that evening and lasted just long enough for me to capture a couple of frames before it faded into darkness.
And no I didn’t take this with my Apple iPhone 4S. I used its bigger, more expensive cousin the Canon 5D Mark II.
Check back for more of my photographs around my hometown of San Diego! One more photo in the comment section.
Happy Travels!

The Scaligeri Tombs, located in the historical center of Verona, is a monumental funerary complex in the Gothic style of the Scaliger family. Intended to contain tombs of some of the family's distinguished representatives, including the biggest Lord of Verona, they are located next to the church of Santa Maria Antica. The French historian Georges Duby in his Medieval Europe has defined the tombs as one of the most distinguished and significant monuments of Gothic architecture.
Усыпальницы трех правителей Вероны из династии, правящей там в 13-14 веках — единственное в своем роде «подвесное» захоронение, памятник средневековой готики. На гербе семьи изображена лестница (ит. scala), от этого слова произошла фамилия основателя рода — Мастино делла Скала, который, будучи «Капитаном народа», продвигал владения Вероны на север.
