Back in 1972 a rich businessman Stanley Washington found out his wife Agnes Washington was pregnant with twin boys. He wanted to give them world – literally. His own father never paid attention to him and his goal was to make sure he could be there every moment for his boys and work with them together to create something new and amazing. Jason and David Washington were born in August 1972 and that’s when Stanley had.....

Tyntesfield (TINTS-feeld) is a Victorian Gothic Revival country house and estate near Wraxall, North Somerset, England. The house is a Grade I listed building named after the Tynte baronets, who had owned estates in the area since about 1500. The location was formerly that of a 16th-century hunting lodge, which was used as a farmhouse until the early 19th century. In the 1830s a Georgian mansion was built on the site, which was bought by English businessman William Gibbs, whose huge fortune came from guano used as fertilizer. In the 1860s Gibbs had the house significantly expanded and remodelled; a chapel was added in the 1870s. The Gibbs family owned the house until the death of Richard Gibbs in 2001.
Tyntesfield was purchased by the National Trust in June 2002, after a fundraising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it would be open to the public. The house was opened to visitors for the first time just 10 weeks after the acquisition, and as more rooms are restored they are added to the tour.

John Yates Chisholm (1849-1918) was a prominent Bloomington businessman and real estate dealer. In 1888, he commissioned architect George H. Miller to design this Victorian Romanesque-style office building in the 200 block of E. Front St.
Miller, whose work has been seen throughout this McLean County series, delighted in the variation of colors and textures. Like many architects of the late 19th century, he was intrigued by the abundance of new ceramic products which were coming to market. The Chisholm building shown here was an early example of the use of terra cotta panels and other ceramics.
Miller believed businessmen wanted their buildings to be distinctive and be clearly distinguished from those of their neighbors. Both the Higgins Marble Works building next door (also designed by Miller and previously featured in this series) and the Chisholm Building are Victorian Romanesque-styles; yet the facades are quite distinct from each other. Today the Chisholm Building is a mixed use property with professional offices on the ground floor, and condominiums above.
The John Y. Chisholm Building is contributing architectural property in the Bloomington Central Business District listed in 1985 in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The district includes roughly twelve square blocks of the city and encompasses 140 buildings, 118 of which are contributing buildings to the district's historic character.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is home to State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and Beer Nuts. Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring twin city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
The Nederlander Theater has had many names since opening in 1921, originally the National Theater, then the Billy Rose Theater and before its current name the Trafalger Theater. Nederland is one of the two big dogs in New York City’s Broadway Theatre business, the other being Schubert. Unbeknownst to many Nederlander first venture in entertainment was actually in Detroit Michigan, a 99 year lease on the Detroit Opera House was purchased by young bright businessman David T. Nederlander in 1912. His son James M. in 1964 just as visionary as his father came to New York City and purchased the Palace Theater, the start of one of the most successful privately own entertainment companies in the world and this beautiful historic playhouse which is the southernmost theater of the Broadway Theater District was renamed after his father the David Tobias Nederlander Theater in 1980. - [x] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @kehcamera @mpbcom #omd #microfourthirds #olympus #micro43photography #usaprimeshot #tamractales @nycprimeshot @nycurbanism @nybucketlist @nederlanderlive @broadwayplus
Mont-Saint-Hilaire è una montagna situata a circa 40 km da Montreal, nel Québec, in Canada, rinomata per la sua varietà di ambienti naturali e i sentieri escursionistici. Il lago Hertel si trova al centro della montagna, in una depressione glaciale, ed è circondato da quattro cime principali. La montagna e il lago appartenevano un tempo a un ricco uomo d'affari inglese, Gault, che lasciò in eredità la proprietà all'Università McGill, che ora la gestisce e la mantiene come riserva naturale. L'ex tenuta Gault, situata sul lago, funge anche da centro congressi e stazione di ricerca. Mont-Saint-Hilaire offre diversi sentieri per raggiungere le quattro cime principali che circondano il lago Hertel.
Mont-Saint-Hilaire is a mountain far about 40 kms. from Montreal in Quebec, Canada, renowned for its diverse natural environment and hiking trails. Hertel Lake is located in the center of the mountain, in a glacial depression, and is surrounded by four main peaks. The mountain and lake were once owned by a wealthy English businessman, Gault, who bequeathed the property to McGill University, which now maintains and manages it as a nature reserve. The former Gault estate, located on the lake, also serves as a conference center and research station. Mont-Saint-Hilaire offers several trails to reach the four main peaks surrounding Hertel Lake.

I have been using this plaster cast head of Hermes (the Olympian Hermes, that is) as my photographic punching ball for years. The reason is that he has got endless amounts of patience with me. This shot was done outdoors, using a reflector. I like to shoot wide-open and, with a proper lens, one would get satisfying results. Compare this shot to the other one, number 1, taken with a different lens, though PP was exactly the same (edited in Fuji's raw converter and refined in Luminar). This shot was taken with the 7Artisans manual lens wide-open (F 1.2). This lens will not produce sharp focus wide-open and at close range. And yet it produces images with "character".

Marimurtra, Blanes, La Selva, Girona, España.
Situado en Blanes, en la Costa Brava, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra es uno de los jardines más bellos de la orilla del Mediterráneo. Sobre unos acantilados que bordean el mar se pueden contemplar algunas de las panorámicas más espectaculares de la costa y conocer más de quatro mil especies vegetales, la mayoría exóticas, así como un buen número de ejemplares extraordinarios por su edad o dimensiones.
Marimurtra es la obra de un hombre apasionado por la naturaleza. Carl Faust (Hadamar, Alemania 1874-Blanes 1952), empresario establecido en Cataluña, dedicó su ilusión, su esfuerzo y todo su patrimonio a la realización de su sueño, el Jardín Botánico Marimurtra.

As the late morning sun climbs higher over St. Louis, UP PJCPB 13 sweeps around the curve beneath the towering factory walls, streaking through the industrial corridor with UP 6079 leading a 10-car business train made up of Union Pacific’s streamlined heritage fleet cars. Navigating the city was no challenge for the stockholder special, having green signals all the way south before even crossing the river for a crew change.

Alderlea, meaning meadow of Alder trees, was constructed circa 1867 for Kenneth Chisholm, businessman, political figure and son-in-law of John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton.
Designed as an Italianate villa, Alderlea is one of Ontario’s finest examples of this architectural style. The original grandeur of the estate included a large front lawn and garden, which is now Gage Park, Brampton’s first municipal park. 128
JAWA is a well-known motorcycle manufacturer, founded in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1929. This year it is celebrating its 90th anniversary and brand’s fans all over the world are organizing meets, trips and other events. However, one JAWA’s creation is not going to be participating in any of them – the only surviving JAWA 750 is residing in National Technical Museum in Prague.
JAWA was founded by a Czech businessman and inventor František Janeček. He bought a motorcycle division of a German company Wanderer and immediately started making affordable motorcycles called JAWA (JAneček and WAnderer). At some points in its history JAWA was hugely successful, exporting its motorcycles to more than 120 countries. However, the company found itself on the edge of bankruptcy several times and nowadays JAWA-branded motorcycles are manufactured in India.
Although JAWA has a lot of fans in many countries, few of them know that JAWA was once a manufacturer of automobiles as well. Janeček always wanted to make cars and was looking for ways to do that. In 1933 he signed a license agreement with Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen of DKW, which allowed him allowed him to make JAWA 700, based on the DKW F2. 1,002 of these cars have been produced between 1934 and 1937, when 700 was replaced by a brand new 600 Minor. This car reached production levels of over 14 thousand with around half of these cars being exported. However, in 1946 JAWA 600 Minor has been replaced by Aero Minor – a car that did not wear JAWA’s badge.
But let’s come back to 1935. JAWA wanted to participate in the famous 1000 miles Czechoslovakia race. In fact, JAWA was supposed to be participating even a year before, but its modified 700 simply wasn’t reliable enough. This time JAWA made 6 cars – three roadsters and three coupes to take part and eventually win the race. And what a car the 750 was!
JAWA 750 is rather small – it is only 3650 mm long and very narrow. Its body is made from sheet metal, formed around a wooden frame. Aerodynamic shape is pleasing to the eye and a bit Bugatti-esque. Being as slippery as possible was so important that JAWA 750 didn’t even have mirrors or door handles. Keeping the weight down was crucial too, which is why this car has only one windscreen wiper. Coupe JAWA 750 weighed only 705 kg – roadster version – 5 kg less.
All these efforts were put into this car in order to compensate for its rather weak 750 cc twin-cylinder two-stroke water-cooled engine, producing just 26 bhp. This minute powerplant was driving the front wheels through a 3-speed transmission. And boy, was it fast – its top speed was 120 km/h, while the average speed during the race reached 83,7 km/h – totally enough to win!
Not only JAWA 750 won the 1000 miles Czechoslovakia race in its class, it occupied the entire podium! This was enough to grant the President’s award for the most successful team. However, JAWA could not repeat this achievement.
Due to poor economic situation, 1000 miles Czechoslovakia race did not come back the next year. JAWA continued being involved in racing, but this time with its motorcycles. Surviving JAWA 750 models fell into the hands of private users and majority of them perished in rust. The only surviving example came into the hands of the National Technical Museum in Prague in 1992. In 2005, 70 years after its legendary triumph, the restored JAWA 750 was revealed to museum’s visitors.
The building is located at 164 North 8th Avenue (Rosa L Parks Blvd) in Nashville, the county seat of Davidson County, Tennessee.
In 1925, Samuel Berger, a businessman, purchased the land as an investment. He hired architect O. J. Billis to design this two-storey building. It was completed in 1926, and Berger leased it to other businesses for commercial use.
When Berger died in 1934, the building was willed to Vanderbilt University.It belonged to the university for the next two decades, until they sold it in 1954
