This is the gatehouse and beech lined avenue to what appears to be a stately home. In actual fact, this is a relatively new build.
It was built by a local businessman.
Thousands of years ago, the area’s native people inhabited Antelope Island; some of their prehistoric artifacts have been found at the ranch. In modern times, the ranch house is the oldest Anglo building still standing on its original foundation in Utah.
Fielding Garr Ranch is located at Garr Springs. Indigenous people and wildlife used this water source long before Fielding Garr built the ranch.
The first permanent structure at this site was a small log cabin built in 1848 by Fielding Garr. Garr had been assigned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to establish a ranch on the island as a stronghold for managing the church tithing herds. Within two years, Garr had expanded the ranch compound to include the adobe ranch house and other out buildings. The ranch was continually inhabited from that time until 1981.
The LDS Church operated the ranch until the mid-1870s. During this era, ranching operations encompassed the entire island. In 1869, the railroad came to Utah, and with it came the first federal surveys of the land. Because the only improvements on the island were around the ranch itself, the federal government opened the rest of the island to homesteading. By the turn of the century, most of the homesteaders had failed to prove their claims. John Dooly Sr., and enterprising businessman and rancher, purchased the entire island and a price of $1,000,000 (approximately $27,800,000 in 2018), and it became the home of his Island Improvement Company.
The ranching operation continued uninterrupted through several owners. Just after the turn of the 20th century, the focus of the ranch turned to sheep. Under the direction of John Dooly Jr., the sheep operation expanded to more than 10,000 sheep to become one of the largest and most industrialized ranching efforts in the western United States. When sheep ranching became unprofitable in the 1950s due to a failing wool market, the operation turned again to cattle. The island ranch continued to function as part of one of the largest commercial cattle operations in the state until the island became a state park in 1981.

Nashville, Tennessee (April 21-23, 2015). This is the statue for John W. Thomas, the businessman and President of the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition in 1897. It was dedicated in 1908 and within site of the Parthenon - the most notable legacy of the fair. The words carved into the benches are his business traits (I think). These include: Accounting, Roadway, Administration, Charity, Executive, Devotion, Justice, Courage, Promptness, Wisdom, Integrity, & Transportation. The sculpture was by Enid Yandel

Meine lieben Jungens!
Hier sende ich Euch eine Ansicht von meinem Büro.
Wie gefällt Euch dieselbe?
Nun betrachtet mal meinen recht langen Brief.
Hier gibt’s fast nichts Neues.
Am Sonntag war ich in Bremerhaven
und habe die Europa besichtigt.
Herzliche Grüße von Haus zu Haus

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".
Classiebawn Castle was largely built in the late 19th century and has been occupied by several generations of decedents. It was inherited in July 1939 by Edwina Mountbatten, who, with her husband Admiral of the Fleet Louis Mountbatten, made several improvements, installing electricity and a mains water supply. After his wife's death in February 1960, Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, spent his summers there until his death when his boat was blown up off the coast of Mullaghmore by the IRA in August 1979. The castle and surrounding lands are now owned by the estate of Hugh Tunney (1928–2011), a deceased businessman from who bought the castle and surrounding estate in 1991 after having leased it for many years. - Wikipedia
There is no public access yet it stands out so elegantly against the cliffs behind it that it is possibly one of the most photographed privately-owned castles in Ireland
This rare one off 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 by Bertone is one of seven built by Bertone, and is the only coupe of the seven. Powered by a modified 2.9L, 140hp engine, and seen and photographed at the 2024 Greenwich Concours Show. Here is it's story by Sotheby's:
The tale of Stanley H. “Wacky” Arnolt II is well-known to sports car enthusiasts, but bears a rapid repeating: The Warsaw, Indiana businessman made his first fortune as a manufacturer of marine engines, then branched into the selling of British automobiles in Chicago in late 1950. In 1952 he commissioned Italian coachbuilder Bertone to build a limited run of custom-bodied MG TDs, known as Arnolt-MGs, for sale through his showroom. This relationship soon expanded, with Bertone collaborating with “Wacky” on, most famously, the Arnolt-Bristol, as well as Bertone-bodied Alfa Romeos, Bentleys, Ferraris, and other fabulous coachbuilt creations.
There were seven Aston Martins dressed by Bertone under Arnolt’s auspices, or, as the relentlessly self-promoting Arnolt would have preferred they be known, Arnolt-Aston Martins. Their designs differed from series to series and car to car, but DB2/4 chassis number LML/765 is the only coupe. It was and remains a thing of beauty, with lines that are more crisp and elegant than some of the other Bertone creations, arguably more finely tailored and cohesive and especially striking as a coupe. As noted by historian Stanley Nowak in his article on the Bertone Astons in Automobile Quarterly, Vol. 26 No. 4, the car’s dramatic creases in its flanks and a pronounced wraparound rear window were both signature touches of Bertone’s Franco Scaglione.
Build records at Aston Martin Dorset indicate that LML/765 was commissioned by Arnolt on 20 August 1954 for “Monsieur Henrey Pagezy” of Paris and delivered on 7 January 1955. Given the somewhat mangled spelling, it is believed that this client was actually Henri Pigozzi, founder of Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile, better-known as Simca. This is likely, as a few features on LML/765, most notably the taillights, were borrowed from Simca automobiles—an impressive signature.
According to Nowak, Arnolt’s Bertone representative claimed that the coupe was intended to have been the first in a small run of cars, but by the time it appeared Aston Martin had refused to supply any more chassis to the effort. Supporting this statement, the car was shown, well after its completion, at both the 1957 and 1958 Turin Motor Shows—finished in white and then in blue, respectively—each time on the Bertone stand. It is believed that the coachbuilder borrowed the car back both years in an effort to entice Aston Martin to consider them as a new firm to develop the upcoming DB4, a role that eventually went to another Italian coachbuilder, Touring of Milan.
The Bertone coupe later made its way to the United States in 1976, into the hands of John G. Gyann. It was subsequently owned by Dr. Jim Pavlatos of Palos Heights, Illinois, and restored under his care, then passed through the hands of Chicago-based sportscar dealer Bill Jacobs and the Blackhawk Collection. In 1987, it was acquired from Blackhawk by Roger Karlson of California, who would own the car for eleven years and spent much time and spared no expense meticulously sorting the mechanicals of the largely cosmetic restoration that had been undertaken prior to his ownership. The car was shown later in 1987 at Pebble Beach while under Mr. Karlson’s ownership.
In 2019, the special Bertone Aston was acquired by the current owner, who commissioned Aston Martin specialists Kevin Kay Restorations in Redding, California to undertake a full concours restoration. As part of this work, the car was faithfully returned to its “show stand-correct” metallic blue shade, matched to traces of the original finish located below the headlight bezels and in the trunk area. In addition, the correct front bumper and taillights, which had been modified over the years, were fabricated to replicate the original 1955 units, as was the bonnet trim, sun visors, and much of the interior trim hardware. Down to the original red exhaust tip, visible in a surviving 1958 color photograph, no small detail was overlooked during this extensive restoration, which cost over $800,000 and was completed just in time for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2023. The restored car retains its original numbers-matching drivetrain, per its build documentation, with the original engine having been rebuilt to a high-output specification with elevated compression, DB MK III-style valves and camshafts, and an uprated oiling system.
At completion of the work, the car was debuted at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it was honored with First in Class, a remarkable achievement. It has yet to be shown publicly since, leaving the door open for the next caretaker to enjoy participation in virtually any top-level concours event on the planet. In fact, the Bertone Aston has already been invited to be displayed and compete at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Accompanying the sale is a document file featuring restoration photographs and invoices, as well as a copy of the Automobile Quarterly article and other historical information, including a detailed letter account by dedicated former owner Roger Karlson.
This unique Aston Martin DB2/4 is a singular and exquisite automobile, representing the epitome of English sporting heritage, but inspired by American ingenuity, passion, and ambition, and styled and built by Bertone and Italy’s finest artisans. In so many ways, the Bertone Aston represents the ultimate iteration of company owner David Brown’s “gentleman’s express.” A lively, smooth performer, it is a consummate English gentleman indeed, but clothed in a bespoke Italian suit.
J'ai toujours vu ce costume cravate comme un uniforme et je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé les uniformes.

NAHLIN seen at Sandon Dock Liverpool after whilst up for sale following her repatriation from Romania.
At the time the yacht brokers were very unhappy about photographs being taken of the vessel and myself and other enthusiasts were chased away despite holding Photographic Passes issued by the dock company.
Fortunately on August 08, 2003 members of the Merseyside Branch of the World Ship Society were taken on a cruise around Liverpool Docks on board the pollution control vessel POLGARTH from which this photograph was taken and with water between us and the resident security!

NAHLIN is one of the last three large steam yachts to be constructed in the UK. Built for Lady Yule [Annie Henrietta] a jute millionairess and widow the NAHLIN carried a crew of 58. Her first appearance was at Cowes Week, August 1930. She had been designed by G.L. Watson & Company and built by John Brown & Company of Glasgow.
The vessel was originally furnished with six en-suite staterooms for guests, ladies sitting room with sea views on three sides and a library.
In 1936 NAHLIN was chartered by the "Duke of Lancaster" who was King Edward VIII and used by him in the company of Mrs. Wallace Simpson during their love affair.
NAHLIN was purchased by the Romanian government in 1937 for the sum of £120,000. The yacht was renamed LUCEAFARUL [The Evening Star] by King Carol who also had the vessel’s gymnasium replaced by a stateroom.
Following King Carol's abdication, she remained the property of the Romanian Government and survived the years of Communist rule serving as a passenger ship and latterly as a restaurant on the River Danube. The ship was renamed LIBERTATEA [Freedom] in 1948.
In the latter part of 1999, the yacht was shipped to the UK aboard the Dockwise Heavy Lift Ship SWIFT.
When LIBERTATEA arrived in the UK she was laid up at DML's Devonport Dockyard and remained there until the end of April 2000. She was brought to Liverpool and arrived on May 3, 2003, being berthed at the then Cammell Laird owned Clarence Dry Docks adjacent to Stanley Dock where she was expected to undergo the initial phase of what was expected to be a $35million dollar restoration.
In October 2000 G.L. Watson & Company the yacht's original designers were appointed as special consultants to the restoration being supervised by Yachtworks Ltd.
LIBERTATEA was removed from the Clarence Dry Docks around July 23, 2001, to a berth in Sandon Dock. Since her arrival G.L. Watson's sister company, Yachtworks, have removed over 450 tones of asbestos insulation, heavy fuel oil and debris and the interior surveyed. The ship was given her original name NAHLIN and port of registry – Glasgow whilst at Liverpool.
On July 27, 2005 NAHLIN was loaded aboard the heavy lift ship CONDOCK V at Liverpool and taken to Rendsburg it was reported she had be bought by German interests.
It later transpired the purchaser was businessman Anthony Bamford of JCB digger fame. Her refit was continued in Germany.
As refitted, she has berths for 14 passengers and up to 47 crew. She was then taken to Hamburg, where Blohm+Voss replaced her steam turbines with a new diesel-electric powertrain. MTU Friedrichshafen supplied a pair of 16-cylinder diesel engines, each of which is rated at 2,502 bhp (1,866 kW). They drive a pair of electric generators, which in turn drive a pair of electric motors, one powering each propeller. Each electric motor is rated at 2,000 kW (2,700 hp).
During restoration, the ship’s original mahogany-hulled 6.4 m (21 ft) ship-to-shore tender, believed lost for 60 years, was found in Scotland, having been fully restored by owner Willie McCullough. It has now been reunited with the yacht.
In 2006 Inventor and entrepreneur Sir James and Lady Dyson acquired the yacht from Anthony Bamford.
In 2010 NAHLIN returned to service.
