The Royal Australian Navy's afloat support capability is provided by the underway replenishment ships HMAS Sirius and HMAS Success (II). The Afloat Support Force provides operational support for the rest of the fleet by providing fuel, stores and ammunition, thus significantly extending the RAN's operational reach and endurance at sea. It can also provide limited support to deployed Army and Air Force units.
HMAS Sirius was built as a double-hulled commercial product tanker, MV Delos and purchased by the Commonwealth Government on 3 June 2004. Named Sirius, the ship underwent modification for underway replenishment. In addition, a flight deck was fitted for helicopter operations.
The ship can carry over 34,806 cz (cubic metres) of fuel including 5,486 cz (cubic metres) of aviation fuel for use by RAN helicopters. Sirius can replenish ships at sea by day and night, and is capable of replenishing two ships at a time. She has transfer points for fuel, water and stores.
Sirius is the first RAN ship to carry this name, however HMS Sirius (I) was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1780 as the flagship of the 'First Fleet'. The name was selected because of its historical connections with the First Fleet and the import role the ship played in providing logistic support to the struggling economy. Her motto is "to serve and provide".

"Breadth of Capability": Land Rover celebrates 60 years
Text on plaque beneath sculpture:
"Since the very first Land Rover made its debut at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, this celebrated British marque has set the standard for traversing any terrain and rising to any challenge.
Now - 60 years and four million vehicles later - its unique breadth of capabilities has ensured that the Land Rover name has entered everyday language as the generic term for go-anywhere vehicles.
This sculpture by Gerry Judah represents the firm foundations on which Land Rover builds a commitment to future growth in a changing world."
Vehicles displayed are: Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Freelander, and Range Rover.

Stowe landscape garden is most notably the work of two people: Lord Cobham and his nephew, Earl Temple. At one time this family was once richer than the king. The Temple family spent a fortune creating and extending the garden to further their political ambitions. Stowe was 'Capability' Brown's first major commission. Stowe reached its social peak in 1822 when Richard Temple was created 1st Duke of Buckingham, but by this time his and his ancestors extravagence had taken the family to the brink of financial ruin with debts of more than £1 million. The 2nd Duke fled and the scandel rocked the English aristocracy.
Stowe was rescued in 1922, when it was turned into a school.

A rererdos is an altarpiece, screen or decoration behind the altar. St Michael's reredos is believed to have been carved by Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721).
St Michael's was built in the c15th as the domestic chapel for Rycote Park manor house for its owner, Sir Richard Quatremaine. Quatremaine died without issue, and ownership transferred to the family of Sibil, Quatremaine's wife. In 1521 the manor house was passed over to Sir John Heron, Treasurer of the Household to both Henrys VII and VIII; it's probably during this time that the manor hourse was demolished and replaced by Rycote Palace. On Heron's death, the land passed over to his son, Giles, who was forced to sell it in 1539 to Sir John Williams (who was closer in favour to Henry). After Williams's death, the land passed into the Norreys family via Williams's son-in-law, Henry Norris, 1st Baron Norreys. On the 2nd Baron's death, the lands and title passed onto his nephew James Bertie, and remained in the family until the early c19th. During this time, the palace was rebuilt after a fire in 1745 and Lancelot Capability Brown (1716-1783) redeveloped the landscape in 1778. However, the manor was past its heyday, the house was sold off in lots early in the 1800s. A manor house (of sorts) remains, with the stables converted in the 1920s.
Perhaps the height of the palace was during the Tudor period, Henry VIII and Catherine Howard spent their honeymoon here; Henry's daughter Elizabeth visited Rycote on her way to her confinement at Woodstock (Williams being instructed to be her guard by Queen Mary I), Elizabeth would visit a further 5 times during her own reign.
Throughout all this time, the chapel remained alongside; slowly changed inside, shifting from Roman Catholic to High Anglican, extended and redecorated, always watching.

A pre-booked visit to Westbury Court Garden in Gloucestershire. Was a rainy couple of hours. The garden was quite small, but the rain eventually stopped.
Westbury Court Garden is a Dutch water garden in Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire, England, 9 miles (14 km) southwest of Gloucester.
It was laid out in 1696–1705, a rare survival not to have been replaced in the 18th century by a naturalistic garden landscape as popularised by Capability Brown. It is situated facing the high street of the rural village, extending on low-lying water meadows adjacent to the River Severn; the flat watery ground makes the site well suited to a Dutch-style garden, of which Westbury is the outstanding survival in Britain.
The two-storey Dutch style red-brick pavilion is close to the entrance. It was restored by the National Trust in the 1970s. Not listed.
Due to the pandemic, the upper floors were not open to the public.
Seen from near the T Shaped Canal.
Testing out the resolution capability of a Pentax K3 11 with Pixel Shift Resolution OFF (I'll shoot some more with it on to compare).
Used a Tamron 90mm Macro, no flash, but did use a pretty bright LED torch about half way through the shoot. As you can imagine the disk is quite small, being out of a Toshiba laptop. Let me know if you want a copy of the original RAW files though. Minor processing in Lightroom. I alos think I might have voided my warranty by doing this!!!!

Claremont estate
The first house on the Claremont estate was built in 1708 by Sir John Vanbrugh, the Restoration playwright and architect of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard, for his own use. This "very small box", as he described it, stood on the level ground in front of the present mansion. At the same time, he built the stables and the walled gardens, also probably White Cottage, which is now the Sixth Form Centre of Claremont Fan Court School.
In 1714, he sold the house to the wealthy Whig politician Thomas Pelham-Holles, Earl of Clare, who later became Duke of Newcastle and served twice as Prime Minister. The earl commissioned Vanbrugh to add two great wings to the house and to build a fortress-like turret on an adjoining knoll. From this so-called "prospect-house", or belvedere, he and his guests could admire the views of the Surrey countryside as they took refreshments and played hazard, a popular dice game.
In the clear eighteenth-century air it was apparently possible to see Windsor Castle and St Paul's Cathedral. The Earl of Clare named his country seat Clare-mount, later contracted to Claremont. The two lodges at the Copsem Lane entrance were added at this time.
Landscape garden
Main article: Claremont Landscape Garden
Claremont landscape garden is one of the earliest surviving gardens of its kind of landscape design, the English Landscape Garden — still featuring its original 18th century layout. The extensive landscaped grounds of Claremont represents the work of some of the best known landscape gardeners, Charles Bridgeman, Capability Brown, William Kent (with Thomas Greening) and Sir John Vanbrugh.[2]
Work on the gardens began around 1715 and, by 1727, they were described as "the noblest of any in Europe". Within the grounds, overlooking the lake, is an unusual turfed amphitheatre.
A feature in the grounds is the Belvedere Tower, designed by Vanbrugh for the Duke of Newcastle. The tower is unusual in that, what appear to be windows, are actually bricks painted black and white. It is now owned by Claremont Fan Court School, which is situated alongside the gardens.
In 1949, the landscape garden was donated to the National Trust for stewardship and protection. A restoration programme was launched in 1975 following a significant donation by the Slater Foundation. The garden is Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[3]
Capability Brown's mansion, built for Lord Clive of India
The Duke of Newcastle died in 1768 and, in 1769, his widow sold the estate to Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive, founder of Britain's Indian Empire. Although the great house was then little more than fifty years old, it was aesthetically and politically out of fashion. Lord Clive decided to demolish the house and commissioned Capability Brown to build the present Palladian mansion on higher and dryer ground. Brown, more accomplished as a landscape designer than an architect, took on his future son-in-law Henry Holland as a junior partner owing to the scale of the project. John Soane (later Sir John Soane) was employed in Holland's office at this time and worked on the project as a draftsman and junior designer.[4] Holland's interiors for Claremont owe much to the contemporary work of Robert Adam.
Lord Clive, by now a rich Nabob, is reputed to have spent over £100,000 on rebuilding the house and the complete remodelling of the celebrated pleasure ground. However, Lord Clive ended up never living at the property, as he died in 1774—the year that the house was completed. The estate then passed through a rapid succession of owners; first being sold "for not more than one third of what the house and alterations had cost"[5] to Robert Monckton-Arundell, 4th Viscount Galway, and then to George Carpenter, 2nd Earl of Tyrconnell, and finally to Charles Ellis, 1st Baron Seaford.[6]
A large map entitled "Claremont Palace", situated in what is called "Clive's room" inside the mansion, shows the mansion and its surrounding grounds; giving a detailed overview of the campus. The map likely dates back to the 1860s, when the mansion was frequently occupied by Queen Victoria (thus it having been christened "palace"). However, the exact date is still unknown. The relief in Claremont's front pediment is of Clive's coat of arms impaled with that of Maskelyne, his wife's family.

Our mayor couldn't stand the broken windows and marred facade so he got it to be torn down for 15 or so spaces for the Super Bowl. What's sad is that this historic building designed by Albert Kahn is in great condition, and they left everything inside, lobby details, motown papers, marble, etc.
