Blickling Hall is a stately home which is part of the Blickling estate. It is located in the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in Norfolk, England and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1940. In the 15th century, Blickling was in the possession of Sir John Fastolf of Caister in Norfolk (1380–1459), who made a fortune in the Hundred Years' War, and whose coat of arms is still on display there. Later, the property was in the possession of the Boleyn family, and home to Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife Elizabeth between 1499 and 1505. Although the exact birth dates of their children are unknown, historians including Eric Ives are confident that all three surviving children were likely born at Blickling - Mary in about 1500, Anne in about 1501, and George in about 1504. A statue and portrait of Anne may be found at Blickling Estate which carry the inscription, "Anna Bolena hic nata 1507" (Anne Boleyn born here 1507), based on earlier scholarship which assigned Anne a (now thought highly improbable) year of birth of 1507.
The house of Blickling seen today was built on the ruins of the old Boleyn property in the reign of James I, by Sir Henry Hobart, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and 1st Baronet, who bought Blickling from Robert Clere in 1616. The architect of Hatfield House, Robert Lyminge, is credited with the design of the current structure. The Lord Chief Justice married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Robert Bell of Beaupre Hall, Outwell/Upwell, Norfolk, Speaker of the House of Commons 1572–1576. A grand display of heraldic material is present throughout the estate. During World War II the house was requisitioned and served as the Officers' Mess of nearby RAF Oulton. It was at this time that the house and its estate passed to The National Trust, under the terms of the Country Houses Scheme. RAF servicemen and women were billeted within the grounds in Nissen Huts, whilst RAF Officers were housed within Blickling itself. The National Trust has created the RAF Oulton Museum on site in tribute to the RAF pilots and ground crew who served in the Second World War, and this may be visited for no additional entrance fee.
At the end of the war, the house was de-requisitioned. The National Trust again let it to tenants until 1960, when the Trust began the work to restore the house to a style reflecting its history. The house and grounds were opened to the public in 1962 and remain open under the name of "Blickling Estate". The library at Blickling Estate contains one of the most historically significant collections of manuscripts and books in England. The most important manuscript associated with the house is the Blickling Homilies, which is one of the earliest extant examples of English vernacular homiletic writings. The Blickling homilies were first edited and translated in the 19th century by Richard Morris (Early English Text Society os 58, 63 & 73) and there is a more recent edition and translation by Richard J. Kelly (Continuum, 2003). It is said that every year, on the anniversary of her execution, Anne Boleyn's headless ghost arrives at Blickling in a carriage driven by an equally headless coachman. But she hasn't lost her head completely in the afterlife—she carries it along with her during her hauntings.
The exterior of the house was used as 'Maryiot Cells' at 'Maiden Worthy' in Buckinghamshire in the hit 1945 film The Wicked Lady.
It was voted the most haunted house in Britain in a National Trust survey in October 2007. A house and garden existed at Blickling before the estate was purchased by the Boleyn family in the 1450s, but no records survive to give an indication of their appearance. After Sir Henry Hobart acquired the estate in 1616, he remodelled the gardens to include ponds, wilderness and a parterre. A garden mount– an artificial hill in Blickling's flat landscape, was made to provide views of the new garden. With the accession of Sir John Hobart (later the 1st Earl of Buckingham) in 1698 the garden was expanded to add a new wilderness and the temple was constructed.
In the latter half of the 18th century John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, embarked on works that would radically change the appearance of the gardens. All traces of formality were removed, and naturally arranged clumps of trees were planted to create a landscape garden. By the 1780s an orangery had been built to overwinter tender citrus trees. Following the 2nd Earl's death in 1793, his youngest daughter Caroline, Lady Suffield, employed landscape gardener Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton to advise on garden matters. John Adey Repton would go on to provide designs for many garden features. The estate was inherited by nine-year-old William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th Marquess of Lothian in 1840. He later re-introduced the formality and colour schemes of the parterre. After his death at the age of 38, responsibility for the gardens rested with Lady Lothian and her head gardener Mr Lyon. Philip Henry Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian, inherited the estate in 1930. After disparaging comments in a publication of Country Life, Lothian engaged socialite gardener Norah Lindsay to remodel the gardens. In the parterre she replaced the jumble of minuscule flower beds with four large square beds planted with a mixture of herbaceous plants in graduated and harmonious colours. Other improvements included removal of a line of conifers in the Temple walk, which were replaced with plantings of azaleas.

A few photos... for better or worse I'm getting more daring/confident about taking more close-up photos.

hi all
in the beginning of this month,
most of my brothers were together on our big house, so I took the chance to take some shots using my trusty soft box =D and in the same time I gain a little more experiance in this field.
so, I'll start with this one. I used my 17-85 lens zoomed in all the way at 85mm
because I think it gives much more details and more accurate. and yes I'm into B&W so much =D
I also added a texture as the finishing edit.
and here is the color version
model: my brother Ibrahim
hope you all like it.
p.s. I was goin to upload self portrait as I promise but it can wait a little =]
Bella told me she found a new dress in a giveaway pile of clothes and wanted to shoot in it. She sent me a photo of it and I was hooked. We met at a cool park we shoot in and as usual had an awesome session. Once we get started we have a natural flow with the shoot. I have to shoot with her as much as possible before she discovers that there are so many photographers that are much better than me.
We did this shoot in mid-August 2023 in Caldwell, ID.

CHICAGO—It is 10:30 a.m. on Friday morning and the energy is a combination of nervous and confident among the Perspectives middle and high school students. They are about to debut a collaborative theatrical performance on the Classic Theatre stage as part of the Columbia College Chicago Manifest Urban Arts Festival.
Three years ago, it was almost impossible to envision two groups of students from independent Perspectives schools performing their own works in public and on stage.
Theater instruction was introduced to Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy (MSA) about three years ago through the Center for Community Arts Partnerships (CCAP) at Columbia College. Demetria Kedrowski, 6th grade art and English teacher at MSA, welcomed teacher artist students from CCAP to co-teach the arts during her 8th period English composition class. The after school program is now available at Perspectives Rodney D. Joslin Campus.
“We have created an amazing partnership between Perspectives and Columbia College Chicago that has fostered a very positive environment for both our students and the teaching artist students at Columbia,” said Kedrowski.
From in-class instruction of the arts, CCAP teacher artist resident Lydia Ellis-Curry started the first-ever after school Drama Club at MSA as a means to foster the arts with middle and high school students outside of the classroom.
“I began the Drama Club with very little resources and was assisted by Deja Anderson, also a teaching assistant at Columbia,” said Ellis-Curry. “We teach basic acting skills, and improvise our way into final scenes for school performances because these 7th-10th graders have very little to no experience with theater.”
In Drama Club students learn how to think on their feet and use their creativity to build confidence and pride in working together toward a final production. “They are working on their very own show,” said Ellis Curry.
The club partnered with Steppenwolf Theater by hosting students at their plays for youth. “Most of my students had never seen a play before,” said Ellis-Curry. “These kinds of field trips to plays, events, and Columbia College awaken their minds to the possibilities that the arts and theater can provide.”
Ellis-Curry worked with a stable of 15 students to produce original theater. “Lydia was a wonderful drama teacher and advocate for our students,” said MSA principal Julie Puzon. “She opened up new worlds of learning for many of our students by taking them to the Steppenwolf Theater and to Columbia College while helping them develop individually as artists and people.”
“We are so proud of the partnership between Columbia College and the two campuses at Perspectives Charter Schools,” said project manager at Columbia College Chicago Center for Community Arts Partnerships Alyssa Sorresso. “It was so lovely to work with such talented students.”
CCAP provides facilitators who work with the students at MSA and Joslin to create performances for Columbia's Manifest event (an all-day, school-wide showcase). “They come in as guest artists, and create a theatre lesson to help enhance the after-school curriculum,” said Sorresso. “It is a cool cross-school experience that exposes high school students to a college campus and performances.
The students from both Columbia College and Perspectives finished their performances with big and bright smiles.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park's baby gorilla, Joanne, is learning to crawl and can be seen confidently sitting and eating by herself. The now five-month-old gorilla usually rides on mother Imani's back, but when Imani pauses or stops to forage, baby Joanne climbs off and spends time sitting and crawling around the nearby area.
Animal care staff report that Joanne is much more active now that she is a little older. She is taking fewer naps throughout the day and has started sampling solid foods. Joanne is now estimated to have eight teeth, enough to help her chew fruits and veggies such as her favorites, kale and grapes cut in half. While her primary source of nutrition is still from nursing, the growing gorilla is curious of any food items that her mother is eating and she watches as Imani forages, mimicking those behaviors by picking up fruits and veggies on her own.
"We've seen Joanne crawl away from Imani a little bit while she's sitting on exhibit," Jami Pawlowski, keeper at the Safari Park, said. "Imani always keeps her eye on her but Joanne is testing out her independence and seeing how far she can get."
The young gorilla shares her habitat with seven other gorillas, two of which are curious youngsters, 3-year-old Monroe and 6-year-old Frank. Keepers say that the young males are eager to interact with the baby and even though the mother is very protective of her baby, she sometimes lets Frank briefly hold her. Monroe plays a more mischievous role, poking and peering at the mother and baby before quickly running away.
Joanne, named in honor of Joanne Warren, the first chairwoman of the Foundation of San Diego Zoo Global, was born at the Safari Park on March 12 after a rare emergency C-section was needed. www.sdzsafaripark.org
December 1: A confident woman is more attractive than anything else. I'm not sure I totally buy that (kindness, humor, wisdom, energy are pretty attractive too), but since confidence can be an issue for women, it's an important thing to keep in mind. Me, I'm confident in some areas, not so much in others. Something to think about.

When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.
What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.
His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.
Tyneside Roads
From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.
It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.
A revelation
When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.
First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.
From today's shooting. A shoot in a gym and hen a few portraits outside. I am more into the portraits but will share one fo the gym ones as well.
On most she is smiling, which is also beatiful but I did like her expression on this one very much. I think she looks very confident.
Let me know what you think.
