Plan C worked for Macro Mondays Low Key theme.
Plan A was nabbed by Jacqui (see my version taken today in my photostream), then the model for Plan B (me) wasn't being very cooperative, so I fell back on an idea that was the back-up for Condiments if my planned image hadn't worked...

Extract from "More Rough Travel Notes with an Architectural Eye - 2012":
We pass in through the Gothic entry doorway to a most impressive interior. But it’s more Norman/Romanesque in its round-head colonnading, its directness, and light-quality marching forward into the distance. As we move to the right, into the south-west transept, and look up, we see unfussy round-head arching stepping up to the light, and way above, a ceiling of coloured decorative panels.
Well, this starts to tell us of changes over time, yet an integrity of unity.
Ely, “ship of the fens”, was begun in 1083 in Norman style, but Norman that can be referred to as Transition because it also fused some Gothic pointed arches. Then in 1322, as you may know, the Norman tower collapsed and was replaced by a larger, octagonal tower surmounted by a timber vault carrying an octagonal lantern. This crossing is unique in medieval English architecture. Most of the original Norman work survives in the partial west front, nave, and main transepts. The choir was rebuilt, then in the 14th C a Lady Chapel was added to the north transept side. And externally, change also reflects in stonework detail such as the sky-edge of crenellations of the west portion, and crocketted Gothic pinnacles to the east.
The great cathedrals often took generations, even centuries to build, yet resulted in a unity. Many suffered collapses requiring major updated work, but carefully-related consistency. Designers experimented with new ideas in spatial form and lighting. Neither out-of-keeping fashion add-on, nor myopically-Ludite imitative reversion — instead, integrity and sensitive judgement over time. And think of the space-and-light splendour of half-gone Beauvais.
As might be expected, Ely has also undergone several maintenance restorations. The first major restoration took place in the 18th C. Then in 1839 a second project began — with input from architect Gilbert Scott the building was recovered sympathetically-updated. In 1986 it was ascertained that some roofs, timber, and much stonework were becoming unsafe. A third restoration was soon begun and completed in 2000. Further work continues.
As we arrive at the start of the nave, we find a lengthy labyrinth-pattern in the flooring — intended to suggest a pilgrim-path of meditation. Resolved in the architecture. Tiered round-head arcading stretches into the distance and brings light in at high level, coming through broad windows and reflecting rhythmically off the arches. The overall length of Ely is 537ft, and its nave is one of the longest in Britain.
The lofty ceiling is 72ft high, and is completed with painted panelling from Victorian times — Gothic-revival. It’s closely set up to fit the interior, appropriate in detail, and painted in place — like Michelangelo’s Sistine chapel but so much larger. Scenes show the “Creation” of the world and Ascension along with others. It turned out that my camera had better eyes for detail high above.
Farther along processioning structure, we approach the expansive, uplifting crossing, rising high in geometry to flooding light.
This early 14th C work fuses a then-new attitude to space — the octagonal transition broke from the 13th C discipline of right-angles. The diagonal axes, with their large windows, flow between nave, aisles, and transepts. The lower stone octagon becomes one of timber higher up — the forms stepping in 22½ deg movements — all revealing the incoming light from the lantern above. Its construction, employing the largest oaks available in England is regarded as one of the wonders of the medieval world; for 12 years the country was scoured for suitable oaks for members 65 ft long, and then the problems of transport. But today the 400 tons of lead-covered wood hangs seemingly in space, held by timbers reaching to eight stone pillars.
But this was means to an end. That vast 3-aisle crossing lifts and lights that lengthy church space — a super-sized magical lantern, patterned in changing three-dimensional geometry — a polygonal crossing of maximum climax. No wonder it’s such a distinct “ship of the fens” feature from miles around.
I’ve taken photos of course, but such spaces have to be experienced!

The pools at the Riu Palace Guanacaste are gorgeous and were really nice. This upper pool area wasn't that crowded. that was more my speed. I am always afraid to sit at the bar pool, because really, I saw a lot of alcohol consumed, but almost no one going to the rest rooms.
Resort review: Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica
Resort grounds:
The Riu Palace in Sardinal, Guanacaste, CR is right next door to the Riu Guanacaste, which is the "lesser" resort. The Palace certainly looks more upscale, departing from the traditional "Riu look" with the Moroccan lobby and open air feel. The design is very modern, and I hate to say, generic. It was very pretty, but in 5 years will look extremely dated. This is true for the rooms and the restaurants and pool areas. Still, at least for 2013, it's pretty. The layout of the place makes no sense though. Everything is a bizarre set of twists and turns to navigate, and it's easy to end up having to take large detours if you went the wrong way. In contrast, the Riu Guanacaste next door seemed much easier to navigate, but was very crowded in comparison.
The resort itself was about 30 minutes from the airport, but the bus I took made several stops, so it ended up taking over an hour to get to the resort. The road there is paved, but still a pretty bumpy ride, and I got a little motion sick.
The hotel does not have a place for the travel agency staff, so they camp out in one of the bar areas. It was kind of weird, but seemed like an arrangement that worked out.
Room:
My room was on the east side facing the pools and beach. It was clean, well maintained, and well appointed. The sofa was super uncomfortable, but that is the fashion these days I guess. The bed was quite nice. The whirlpool bathtub is really in the middle of the room like in the promotional pictures. The sinks right next. It is all open. The shower and toilet are behind doors. The shower is a walk in which worked nicely. There's a safe, of course, and the balcony has a nice view. The room has alcohol dispensers (Scotch, rum, tequila, and vodka), and the mini fridge has beer, soda, and water. The A/C worked well, and I ended up turning it off or down, to the point where the resort sent a maintenance staff to make sure it was okay. It was fine, but it made my room like a refrigerator.
Like most resorts, there were people coming into my room all the time. Housekeeping, drinks, towels/linens, supervisor (she honestly was there just to make sure everyone else did their job). There was no turndown service, like at Dreams/Secrets, which was at least one less person in my room than I was used to.
The power is governed by a room key. Without placing a room key into the wall unit, the whole room was without power. I have no idea why they do this. It wasn't a big deal. The toilets did just fine with toilet paper. The water from the tap is non-potable, as usual for most resorts.
Beach and pool:
The beach is dark, volcanic sand and is reasonable to walk into the water without too many rocks and such, but there's a pretty strong riptide, and I was afraid to go out deep. There was no lifeguard that I could see. There are some chairs, and it wasn't a bad place to lie out, but the wind was pretty strong and blew sand everywhere, and eventually, I couldn't take it and went back to the pool area. The beach seemed pretty secluded and safe, but there were a fair amount of locals. There was security present at all hours. It was also quite a walk. They put the resort pretty far from the beach, and it was a pain to go down beachside, clearly discouraging beachgoers.
There are several pools, all of which seem well maintained. I saw staff checking the chemicals frequently. The upper pool (pictured) was not crowded, and had a waterfall that went down into a lower pool (the waterfall was decorative, not a slide) where a volleyball net was in place. The bar pool was crowded, with a swim up bar. Then two additional pools on the sides were large and could accommodate a large number.
My biggest criticism of the pools is that there is no bathroom anywhere nearby. You had to go to the nearby restaurant or the hotel for a restroom. I saw plenty of people in the bar pool for quite some time, but no one going to the bathroom. You figure it out.
There were plenty of chairs and areas to sit by the pools, and some had overhead shades if the sun got too strong. They opened and closed with a drawstring, which was convenient, but sometime had to be opened up when the wind got too strong.
Restaurants:
There were several a la carte restaurants which looked nice, but I only ate at one, the steakhouse. The other restaurants only seat 50 covers a seating, and seated at two times. They nixed the reservation system that Riu uses for all the restaurants except the steakhouse, but as a result, it was hard to get into the other restaurants. Few seats and no way to reserve a spot. I gave up after the first night. Anyway, the buffet wasn't bad at all. My criticism of most resorts is a lack of local food, but the buffet actually had some great local food. Every meal had beans and rice, plantains served at most meals, and lots of fresh local fish. The other food options at the buffet looked decent, but I was mainly eating rice and beans.
They had burgers and fries, chicken fingers, sushi, pasta, and a lot of other things that I passed, because honestly, I am not going to Costa Rica to eat sushi. And I'm certainly not going to eat burgers and fries in another country. Please.
The lunch buffet was in the steakhouse, and was pretty similar to the dinner buffet in just about every respect.
The hotel has a bunch of bars, all of which offered the same sorts of things. The bartenders all seemed to know their business, but I felt like a lot of the drinks were watered down. But hey, drink as much as you want. The coffee bar was kinda lame. Considering Costa Rica is a country that is one of the best places on Earth for coffee, I couldn't believe it was so hard to get a decent cup. Other than in the buffet, all other coffee is espresso drinks, so I drank a lot of cafe americano's, which are lame.
Service:
The staff was very friendly and helpful, and it wasn't hard to find someone. The poolside waitstaff wasn't the best as far as coverage: there is a large area to cover, and not a lot of people, so most of the time, no one ever came by depending on where I was sitting. The restaurant staff was friendly. The housekeeping staff was nice, and when I accidentally left stuff out, nothing was taken.
Things to do:
Like all Riu's, they do a lot of poolside and on-site activities, mostly catering to the younger crowds. There were also crafts, fitness things, spa, art, and nightly shows. The shows were kind of lame. There was live music most nights. I went on an excursion but because of the remote location of the resort, most everywhere is a 90 minute drive. There are some shops and things for spending money on site. They have the standard things for tourism: random supplies, souvenirs, etc. The prices, as you expect, suck.
My biggest criticism is the gym. It was LAME. There were a few treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. There was a lat pulldown machine, and I think a leg extension machine. That was it. I think there were 5 and 10 lbs free weights. Otherwise nothing else. I was prepared for a lame gym. I was planning on doing a body weight program of pull ups, dips, pushups, etc. but no dip station, no pull up bar, no free weights, no bars, nothing. If you like to lift, this gym was terrible. In the end, I didn't do any exercise other than push ups in my room and running on the beach.
Overall:
The resort itself is beautiful with a modern design, friendly staff, great pools, and decent food. The on site activities were standard fare and nothing exceptional. The gym sucked. The beach was decent, but far away and windy and not really pleasant. While I had a great time, and other than the gym, I have nothing explicitly bad to say about this resort, I think I will steer away from Riu and stick with Dreams/Secrets, and most likely head back to Punta Cana next year.

The Dry Tortugas, a small cluster of reefs, islands and shoals 70 miles from Key West, are the terminal link in the Florida Keys. Juan Ponce de Leon anchored here on June 13, 1513, and due to the abundance of turtles on the islands, christened the area Las Tortugas. Later, the islands appeared on maps as the Dry Tortugas, alerting mariners that the area offered no fresh water. The collection of islands includes Loggerhead Key, Bush Key, Garden Key, Middle Key, Hospital Key, Long Key, and East Key.
In 1819, Spain ceded Florida to the United States, although the treaty was not officially ratified until 1821. Shortly after gaining control of the territory, the federal government dispatched Commander Matthew C. Perry to survey the Floridian coastline. Recognizing the danger posed by the reefs surrounding the Florida Keys, Perry recommended the construction of lighthouses at Cape Florida, Key Largo, Sand Key, and at the Dry Tortugas. In 1822, the Treasury Department requested $8,000 for the construction of the Dry Tortugas Lighthouse, and Congress responded two years later with the necessary funds.
The site selected for the lighthouse was Garden Key, located near the center of the Dry Tortugas. From Garden Key, the light would cover all the islands and also mark the fine harbor just north of the island. In route to Florida, the ship carrying the building supplies was lost at sea, delaying the start of construction on the lighthouse until 1825. The conical brick tower rising to a height of sixty-five feet was completed in March of 1826, however the appointed keeper didn’t arrive for several more months.
A U.S. revenue cutter was sent to transport John R. Flaherty, along with his family and belongings, from their home near Baltimore to the Dry Tortugas. The cutter was unable to accommodate all of the family’s baggage, which should have been the first sign that this appointment to an isolated station just wasn’t going to work. On July 4, 1826, the Garden Key Light, consisting of fifteen lamps set in metal reflectors, was first exhibited by Keeper Flaherty.
Flaherty’s wife Rebecca strongly disliked the heat, boredom, and mosquitoes associated with her new environs and communicated her discomfort to the wife of President John Quincy Adams. Flaherty was described as a lazy and incompetent keeper whose mismanagement of the light led to the buildup of a thick coat of soot on the lantern glass, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the light. After fourteen months at Garden Key, Flaherty swapped positions with the keeper of the Sand Key Lighthouse near Key West, where he and his wife would be closer to civilization.
Even after the departure of Flaherty, mariners continued to complain about the inadequacy of the light. Captains claimed that a vessel would run aground on shoals and reefs before seeing the light. The original fifteen lamps were replaced by twenty-three new lamps and reflectors, however, this improvement did not stop the complaints.
The lighthouse at the Dry Tortugas was critical for all vessels transporting goods from the Mississippi River or the western shore of Florida, as they had to round the islands before heading up the eastern seaboard. The U.S. military also realized early on that any power, foreign or domestic, that controlled the Dry Tortugas would also control navigation in the Gulf of Mexico. Accordingly, work on Fort Jefferson, which would become known as the "Gibraltar of the Gulf", began in 1846 at Garden Key. The brick walls of the six-sided fort stand forty-five feet high and are eight feet thick. The fort encloses most of the sixteen-acre island, and the lighthouse was located in the angle of Bastion C.
Work on the fort continued for three decades, but it was never completed. Although the fort was not involved in any battles, it did house over 2,200 prisoners over a ten-year period, with a peak of 900 prisoners in 1864. The most noteworthy prisoners were four individuals convicted of complicity in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Edman Spangler, who worked at Ford Theater, was convicted of aiding John Wilkes Booth’s flight from the murder scene. Both Samuel Arnold and Michael O’Laughlen were sentenced to life for conspiring with Booth on an earlier plan to kidnap the President. Dr. Samuel Mudd was found guilty of conspiracy and harboring Booth during his escape, at which time Mudd set and splinted Booth’s leg that was broken in his jump from the State Box onto the theater’s stage. The four prisoners arrived at Fort Jefferson in the summer of 1865.
An outbreak of yellow fever struck the fort in 1867, and among those who died from the disease were the fort’s physician and O’Laughlen. Dr. Mudd, though he also contracted the disease, assumed a leadership role in caring for the sick. A petition in support of Mudd was later signed by noncommissioned officers and soldiers at the fort and sent to the federal government. In early 1869, the three surviving prisoners at Fort Jefferson connected to Lincoln’s assassination were pardoned by President Andrew Johnson.
To answer the call for a better light, a 150-foot-tall tower was built on Loggerhead Key, three miles west of Garden Key, in 1858. After the completion of the new lighthouse, the one on Garden Key was downgraded to a fourth-order harbor light, renamed the Tortugas Harbor Lighthouse. A hurricane in October of 1873 delivered a devastating blow to the Dry Tortugas. The Garden Key Lighthouse was badly damaged, and although repairs were made, the lighthouse inspectors recommended the tower be torn down and replaced by an iron structure erected on the walls of the fort. Congress appropriated $5,000 for the new structure in 1875, and the hexagonal, three-story tower made of boilerplate iron was in place atop Bastion C for its first lighting on April 5th of the following year.
A fire on Garden Key in 1912, destroyed the keeper’s dwelling and led to the installation of an automated acetylene light that same year. The light was discontinued in 1921, although a decorative light was later placed in the tower. The remote grouping of islands was designated the Fort Jefferson National Monument by President Roosevelt in 1935, and became Dry Tortugas National Park in 1992.

JASPER COUNTY, S.C.—Work continues on the back dike raising at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor dredge disposal area "14A" shown here Aug. 29, 2013. Col. Thomas Tickner, commander for the Corps' Savannah District, and his staff visit the work site and meet with Chad Brown, vice president of Ashridge Construction, the prime contractor. The project includes the placement of 198,000 cubic yards of dredge material to raise the back dike, plus an additional 40,000 cubic yards of sediment, according to Brown. It also includes the placement of 170,000 square yards of geotechnical fabric, which is layered under the dredge material to improve the structural stability of the dike. The team is also installing wick drains to help dissipate the groundwater. Construction began in the spring of 2013 and is slated for completion in October. The Corps' Savannah District is responsible for operating and maintaining the Savannah shipping channel (and its associated dredge disposal areas) to ensure commerce has safe and adequate access to and from the Garden City Ocean Terminal. The Savannah Harbor is the nation's fourth busiest container port. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard.

JASPER COUNTY, S.C.—Work continues at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor dredge disposal area "12A" shown here Aug. 29, 2013. Col. Thomas Tickner, commander for the Corps' Savannah District, and his staff visit the work site and meet with David Snodgrass, a quality control manager from Edgefield Construction, the prime contractor for the 12A improvement project. The project includes the placement of 1.2 million cubic yards of dredge material to raise the dike, and the placement of 158,000 cubic yards of dredge material to place on inshore bird island, according to William Lane, Corps quality control inspector. The bird island will be topped with an additional 30,000 cubic yards of coarse sand, relocated from dredge disposal area "14B." The sand will form a two-foot layer to provide adequate nesting habitat for birds. The project also includes repairing five weirs—structures that control the flow of water to the disposal area—and expanding walkways on the weirs. When complete, the 12A project will increase the Corps' capacity to hold more dredged material from the Savannah Harbor. Construction began Sept. 2012 and is slated for completion in October 2013. The whole 12A interior spans 1,100 acres and is the Corps' largest disposal area for the Savannah Harbor.

So I'm now in Hanoi. In the last week or so I did:
6 hr bus from Da Lat to Nha Trang, great, cheap hotel overnite in Nha Trang (decent beach, good food/bar scene that I skipped, no waves...lots of paragliding). Pondered trip to Budapest and Krakow, maybe Bratislava.
Nite bus from Nha Trang to Hoi An, morning nap and hotel overnite in Hoi An (cute town with neat shops of silk fabrics, ceramics, lamps, carvings, paintings....i bought a tshirt for 1.75 usd, I have three now, so less washing).
4 hr bus to Hue, stayed on nite in Hue - not very exciting place. Pondered trip to Istanbul & turkey
10 hr train to Ninh Binh one nite, next day Tam Coc, then bus to Hai Phong. Pondered Alaska
2 hour hydrofoil to Cat Ba island. 2 nites in Cat Ba
4 hr boat ride to mainland (pondered Beijing and great wall of china, and ____ with terra cotta warriors), then 3 hr bus to Hanoi - pondering beating the crap out of the guy sleeping on my arm....like it wasn't hot enough without A/C
Now here in Hanoi where I'm happy, fat and comfy. Good internet near my 12 dollar room (which has hbo, cinemax, lots of football - if the a/c worked well i'd be in there all day).
Ha Noi is cool already, has a very distinguished feel in the old quarter, but I'm tired of vietnam and will be moving on. So I'll leave indochine soon, maybe for NC, but I guess I'm still open. Not ready for the real world, but ready for something more constructive and a little less transient.
JASPER COUNTY, S.C.—Work continues at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor dredge disposal area "12A" shown here Aug. 29, 2013. Col. Thomas Tickner, commander for the Corps' Savannah District, and his staff visit the work site and meet with David Snodgrass, a quality control manager from Edgefield Construction, the prime contractor for the 12A improvement project. The project includes the placement of 1.2 million cubic yards of dredge material to raise the dike, and the placement of 158,000 cubic yards of dredge material to place on inshore bird island, according to William Lane, Corps quality control inspector. The bird island will be topped with an additional 30,000 cubic yards of coarse sand, relocated from dredge disposal area "14B." The sand will form a two-foot layer to provide adequate nesting habitat for birds. The project also includes repairing five weirs—structures that control the flow of water to the disposal area—and expanding walkways on the weirs. When complete, the 12A project will increase the Corps' capacity to hold more dredged material from the Savannah Harbor. Construction began Sept. 2012 and is slated for completion in October 2013. The whole 12A interior spans 1,100 acres and is the Corps' largest disposal area for the Savannah Harbor. The Corps' Savannah District is responsible for operating and maintaining the Savannah shipping channel (and its associated dredge disposal areas) to ensure commerce has safe and adequate access to and from the Garden City Ocean Terminal. The Savannah Harbor is the nation's fourth busiest container port. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard.
DAYTON, Ohio - Members of the 315th Maintenance Squadron out of Charleston Air Force Base, S.C., work on a stand for the B-17F Memphis Belle's wing during a two-week stay at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, where the group worked in the restoration hangar at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.

The Sedilia have many carvings, at the top are St Edmund, St Peter with his key, St Clement, St Ann with a lily, St Margaret of Antioch and a dragon, and St Mary Magdalene with her vase of ointment. The saints are being crowned by angels.
Lower down there are two figures in oak trees, men cutting grapes, one with a comb, and a pelican feeding her young by piercing her side. All these references are symbolic to wine at the last supper and Christ shedding his blood.
There is also numerous foliage, small heads and animals carved in the sedilia.
14th C. work very similar to Heckington.

Date: 1490s
Current location: Debno, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland
Description of work: The wooden church in Debno is one of the most famous in Poland. Built in the 1490s out of larch wood and using no nails at all, it is a monument to the country's tradition of rural folk architecture. The church entry, reached by low stone steps, is protected by a small covered portico, with a niche in the gable holding a statue. The half-hipped detail is typical of traditional architecture in the Podhale region, and its use on this church shows it dates back at least to the 15th c.

Slab & shingle chapel built on land donated by James Nicol, opened 1857, demolished 1874. Cairn erected 18 Nov 1956 at centenary service – “Mt. Ephraim Cemetery. 42 burials 1857-1915. Pioneer Methodist Church erected here in 1857. Demolished in 1874. Replaced by buildings at Prospect Hill and Bulls Creek.”
“Wesleyan Methodist Missions . . . a series of missionary meetings . . . and the following sums have been subscribed . . . Mount Ephraim, £3.” [Adelaide Observer 19 Sep 1857]

It was explained that it had been decided to amalgamate the congregation worshipping at Spring Grove and Mount Ephraim by building a large and commodious chapel in a central position.” [Register 2 May 1873]
“The Committee had besides subscribing carted all the material, including stones from the quarry, sand from the pit, slates from Willunga, timber from the city, &c., work amounting in value to £57 11s. 6d.
