I am back, briefly at least. To say my life lately has taken on overwhelming proportions of work, responsibilities and stress would be a fairly major understatement. Part of that is due to the fact I am in a stretch of teaching where I have classes three days of the week (including both of my normal days off) and mostly due to the fact that the store I work for, Blue Moon Camera, is preparing to close for three and a half weeks to undergo major renovations and remodeling. That last bit is incredibly exciting but the logistical issues that creates? Imagine the giantest can of worms you can then douse it in gasoline and set it on fire. Heh. Something like that. We are all frantically trying to A) Prepare a store for a three week closure that involves moving all the inventory out of the front of the store - thousands of pieces of it - in a fashion that will allow us to not lose anything and replace it in an orderly manner. B) Schedule the work that will take place over those three weeks in such a way that it all gets done properly and on time. C) Work with our thousands of customers letting them know about the closure and giving those who have photos, film or cameras with us a chance to get in to pick them up and D) Carry on the day-to-day business of running a camera shop as usual. Couple that with the fact that my boss has mostly been holed up in the back of the store overseeing the renovations that have already begun and that leaves me in charge of all this business going on frantically up front, in addition to my normal slate of responsibilities that more than fill an average work day.
So a bit more about all that (my main reason for posting this today). Blue Moon will officially close at the end of business hours on February 15th. We will remain closed through March 9th, reopening for business on the 10th. During this time, the store will be fully shut down, there will be no access to the front of the store, nor will we be answering the phones. The only way to get in touch with us will be e-mail, which we will check and respond to, though our inventory will all be packed away, so even if you desperately need to buy something, unfortunately we will not likely be able to accommodate those requests. Though we will be happy to answer questions and give you direction as to other places to get such services done.
In terms of the renovations, they are almost entirely of the cosmetic variety. The layout and function of the store will remain the same, but we are putting in hardwood floors, redoing the ceiling, replacing all the old, ugly fluorescent lighting and refinishing all the cases and cabinets. Clearing out clutter. Reorganizing shelves. Etc and so on. At some point we will be rolling out a new website too. But that is all the details I am going to provide about that for the moment. ;-) You will have to wait and see the rest for yourselves when we open.
So yeah, you may not see much of me on here over the next month. I just have not had the time and when I have had the time I have not had the energy. Looking back at my calendar, my last full day off was January 16th, and that is a streak that is going to continue until the 19th of this month. So four weeks without a day off has run me a little ragged. It is also not a terribly good time to send me e-mails through Flickr that need fast response. Much better to send them through my personal website at www.zebandrews.com. Other than that, I am still out here, and I am sure I will be back in full at some point. I am just concentrating much of my efforts on other things at the moment.
So, til we meet again, take care and keep up all the great photo work.
The description of the griffin is from D. P. Mortlock's authoritative "Guide to Suffolk Churches." The pulpit is universally acknowledged to be a very fine early 17th C. work. Mortlock says the steps [and, I assume, the railing and griffin] are "modern."
Roy Trickler, In the church guide, says the steps are "somewhat later" than the pulpit. Pevsner (back when) mentions the pulpit but no steps or rail. Whatever. It's a very nice piece of wood to hold on to while one climbs the steps. Trust me.
Alba na Mara is fi tted with three trawl winches
each carrying 800 metres of 20mm diameter
wire. These winches will allow her to operate
a single demersal trawl, a twin demersal trawl
or a pelagic trawl. The ability to twin trawl
is particularly useful as it augments Marine
Scotland’ ability to carry out fi shing gear
research to investigate technical measures.
The aim of these measures is generally to
facilitate selective escape of immature fi sh or of
particular fi sh species from the trawl. The single
demersal and pelagic trawls are used for stock
assessment purposes.
Handling scientifi c equipment
Alba na Mara is fi tted with a range of onboard
cranes, winches and net-drums to enable the safe
deployment of scientifi c equipment. Noteworthy
in particular is the Gamma Frame, a one-sided A
frame, that is used to launch scientifi c equipment
overboard and can also be used to manoeuvre
the scallop dredges.
Echosounders
As well as a Simrad ES 60 fi shing sounder,
Alba na Mara is fi tted with an EK 60 scientifi c
sounder which operates at 38,120 and 200 kHz.
The transducers for this system are mounted in
a pod fi tted to a shaft – enabling the pod to be
deployed up to one metre below the keel in an
attempt to improve acoustic performance.
lba na Mara was built by MacDuff Shipbuilders
Ltd for the Scottish Government and entered
service in 2008. Operating from her home port
of Fraserburgh, the vessel is used for fi sh and
shellfi sh stock assessment and environmental
monitoring in the North Sea and on the west
coast of Scotland. She carries a crew of eight,
and can accommodate up to fi ve scientists.
One of the most important functions of Marine
Scotland is to provide the Scottish Government
with expert advice on environmental and
fi sheries management. This can be achieved
only through the provision of scientifi c work
conducted at sea. To facilitate expert and
technical advice, it is essential to have research
vessels of a high calibre that can operate in both
inshore and offshore areas – Alba na Mara and
Scotia respectively perform this role for Marine
Scotland.
Primarily operating in the inshore zone, Alba
na Mara monitors fi sh, Nephrops and scallop
stocks in order to gather the independent data
required to aid the sustainable management of
fi sheries. The vessel also researches the wider
marine ecology, including the examination
of factors important in sustaining fi sh stocks
and other marine wildlife. Further research
evaluates the environmental impact of
aquaculture, and other anthropogenic inputs as
an adjunct to understanding the physical and
biological oceanography of the coastal zone.
Comfort
Alba na Mara has been built to an exceptionally
high standard by MacDuff Shipbuilders Limited
to provide a very fl exible vessel capable of
undertaking a wide variety of tasks. A vital
requirement for any research vessel is a stable
working platform to carry out scientifi c work,
I swear that the lunatics ran the asylum today. I have no idea what was going on today, but everything went kind of wrong. It was truck day at work, the truck didn’t show up, leaving a team of people without work and being given the choice to: a. go home b. go home and come back when the truck got there (yeah, right) c. work their regular shift or d. work their regular shift plus however long it took to unload the truck when it got there ( again, yeah ...right). So people were coming and going with little direction. I was good, I had a reset to do that I was able to work on, until one of my friends came up to me and said “I think I’m done.” “Done? What do you mean, done?” “Done with everything.” This led to an unauthorized run to Dunkin’ Donuts for Boston Crème and deep thoughts, which always leads to trouble (and usually no solutions). Sat in the breakroom with all of the truck team that had decided to work only their regluar hours, so the truck was not unloaded, which means that tomorrow will be truck day...again!
One of my friends pulls out his phone and shows me a photo of his 1957 Corvette and asked if he had shown it to me before... “Yes, you have and when....” “NO!!” “What do you mean NO?! When are you going to ...” “NO” .. .determined to NOT let me finish the question that I have asked before... “when are you going to teach me to drive a stick in the 57 Corvette?” Yeah, I get it... it’s not happening, is it? “I truly am hurt by your lack of faith in me”... all this, while my other friend is helping herself to pasta off my lunch plate... which I offered to let her finish because I don’t feel like eating because my stupid tooth hurts more now than it did BEFORE the root canal... which led to a series of “root canals gone wrong” stories from co workers that I really didn’t need to hear. The final straw was my manager telling me that he had let all of the managers in the district know that they have to fix their sucky unlinked shoe reports. “Really? Was that how you worded it?” “No, but next Friday you will be training the supervisors from another store.” Ugh, I HATE doing that!! Why can’t these people just do their jobs... afterall, it clearly is NOT rocket science. Then he tells me that I deserve a raise, but it is out of his hands. Have I mentioned before that our district manager thinks he is too sarcastic? So, because I am capable of doing this job right (probably because I have no life and spend way too much time at work) my reward is to become the training specialist for the district and not get paid for it. Yey, me!! I left after that, an hour early. I had had enough for one day. And there was soccer...
I wanted to surprise Dayna and show up at her soccer game today because it was her first game as a college coach. Her first time standing on the sidelines instead of playing on the field. So, I drove out to Paramus and got there just as the game was starting.... got TO THE COLLEGE just as the game was starting.... got to the field with 2 minutes left in the first half because I couldn’t find the field.... got to the field with a college security guard escort because I am sure that when I asked him directions he took one look at me and thought to himself... oh God, I’ll just take her... she’ll never find it (And he’d be absolutely right!!) Ugh!! Anyway, a 3-0 shut out for Dayna’s debut as a college coach. Not too shabby!! Got back home about 15 minutes before Dayna and she had to drive the team back to the college and drop off the van and get her car.... yes, something seemed to have gone awry on the way home too, even WITH the GPS!! Yes, I am totally and completely directionally challenged and hopeless.
My favorite thing about the game was the spectators that came with their own American Flag and posted it at the top of the hill overlooking the field. I am assuming it was because of 9/11, or maybe they bring a flag to every game, but I thought it was pretty great! So out of a whole bunch of really really bad soccer photos that I took today ( I guess I am really out of practice), this is one of the few that I liked, only because I was focusing only on the flag, but it has the soccer play in the background, the scoreboard showing Dayna’s team winning 2-0 at the time and Dayna standing on the sidelines on the far right (wearing her Rowan colors, brown and yellow) because she doesn’t have her CCM gear yet!! So, a fairly ugly day had a good ending. Congratulations to CCM on their first win and to Dayna for her first win as a coach.

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 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.

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.

There has always been a keen interest in culture, an eagerness for knowledge, among our Barrington people. The old Literary Society, the Debating Club, both before we had a high school, and the Chautauqua Circle which studied art, literature and history, and even an attempt at one time to establish the Barrington Academy evidences the literary craving of our forebears.
When a desire for the loan and exchange of books got to be frequent, Wm. J. Cammeron's drug store in what is now the east half of the Ben Franklin Variety store at 133 Park Avenue became the place to borrow a donated book. That was April 3, 1915. The Barrington Woman's Club was strongly behind this idea and boosted for books till a room on Cook Street over George Wagner's market -- formerly the Hank Abbott Drug Store -- was rented and different women of the Woman's Club took turns on certain days as librarians. Mrs. R.C. Work and Mrs. Gertrude (John) Schwemm were among the Club's committee who kept its needs and promotion ever before the public. Later the library moved to 119 E. Main Street over Ed. Rieke's confectionary store, -- now Marie's Bakery. Olive Dobson took over as librarian and did an excellent job in the work. To further this essential feature of civic welfare, several attempts were made to get permission of the voters to levy a small library tax but did not get it until April of 1924. By a vote of 670 to 285 a tax of one and one eighth mills through the village budget was allowed, and in 1926 a Library Board was elected.
Before the voting of the library tax, a stimulus to better library organization was the initial gift of $1,000.00 left by Mrs. Caroline (George) Ela who died February 28, 1914. Frank Hecht later gave $1,000.00 in memory of his mother.
In 1933 the library was housed, by the gracious permission of the Village Board, in the council chamber of the village hall. The trustees moved into a back room of the new addition.
The Woman's Club deserves credit, more perhaps than our Public offers, for the years of struggle that they put up to keep buying new books, to keep a librarian, to keep a place for the library and try to keep some one responsible for building fires and keeping the place warm and so forth. New books were added as funds could be spared. Many books were donated from Personal libraries. Good reference works and wholesome fiction has been the maintained policy of our library. The circulation, after inventory of 1956, was eleven thousand books.
The space in the village hall was too small for the book stacks alone and but little space was available there for reading and study. So, by a successful vote in November of 1953, the library board was permitted to purchase a site for a new library. A lot on South Hough Street at Monument Avenue 125 by 150 feet was purchased from Frank C. Weyer in the old Hawley pasture. One argument for this site so far from downtown was that with two-thirds of the library cards in the south half of the village this spot would be midway of the Hough Street and the Grove Avenue elementary schools. A library tax of four and a half mills in 1955 and a jubilee parade followed.
A building bond issue for $60,000.00 was authorized on June 5, 1956, by a vote of 279 to 83 and were bought by Scott, Wyandt of Chicago offering a premium of $102.60 and an interest rate of three and a quarter per cent. In September of that same year ground was broken and the building, as planned by architect Ralph Stoetzel, was under construction. Cornerstone laying was on October 14, 1956, and the building was completed in June, 1957. The beautiful building is of Williamsburg style, of one story on Hough and two story on the west with two large picture windows in the spacious base- ment reading rooms. The walls are of waxed elm throughout, with a fine office opposite the main entrance.
On July 2, 1957, the library in the old location in the village hall was closed and all was moved up the street to their new home. On July 8, it was opened to the public. A housewarming was held or Sunday, July 21, with a flag presentation by the V.F.W. It was a credit to the board and all the interested boosters who made the dream a reality. A beautiful terrace garden in memory of one of its former boosters, Mrs. Nellie Hammond, was laid at the north end of the building.

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.

Extract from "More Rough Travel Notes with an Architectural Eye - 2012":
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!

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.

1 years old, 1970, Fisher Price Music Box Teaching Clock
I've seen older brown versions of this with a square shape, but this was the 1968 redder version with an arched roof,it was supposed to be a schoolhouse. The version before this was called the Tick Tock Clock(1962-1967). They made this version here until 1983, so Im sure many people own/owned this thing.
Anyone who ever owned one of these things knows how dreamy and hypnotic that song is. "Grandfather's Clock", Henry C. Work, 1876. I'd love to get an mp3 of that!
This is definitely a family heirloom, it's been passed down from my older sister, to me, to my nephews, back to me, and while I was in California, to my nephews daughter(my great niece). I'm waiting for the day when she gets old enough to be tired of it so I can retrieve it

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.
Austin last week had a ww2 war propaganda poster to draw. He picked one he thought he could handle since he claims to have no art talent. I love watching him work, he often sticks his tongue out while concentrating and I think it's pretty adorable. Then again I do it too, he is the most like me out of the three. He finished up and said, he figured it was C work. He came home the next day and when I asked about it he smiled and said A+. He is doing well considering he is going through a rough patch.
Richard Evans, Haydock Foundry 0-6-0WT No.D of 1874 (although works plate fitted is incorrect - it is actually No.C) "Bellerophon" designed by Josiah Evans, departing Bitton for Oldland Common during the Avon Valley Railway Autumn Gala, 4 November 2017. No.C worked at the Haydock Collieries and later for the National Coal Board until 1964, a working life of 90 years! No.C had one of the earliest applications of piston valves; it had Gooch valve gear.

I loved this Renoir they have at the Rhode Island School Of Design's museum. In general I preferred their collrection of 20th C work to the impressionist collection but this one really spoke to me. Maybe because I love magazines so much!
