“My Last Duchess

 

That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall,

Looking as if she were alive. I call

That piece a wonder, now: Fra Pandolf’s hands

Worked busily a day, and there she stands.

Will’t please you sit and look at her? "

― Robert Browning, My Last Duchess

Adagio Cantabile con Expresione

 

Feliz fin de semana mis queridos Amigos

It was icy cold when I arrived at about 07:45am, so much so that my tripod had signs of frost and my right hand was extremely cold due to its continued exposure to elements and in arranging my camera settings. Waiting patiently, 20 minutes or so, for the moment when the sun cast it's early morning light on the house and the hill to the left was rewarding as was going back to the warmth of my car.

 

Dower house on the horizon was built in 1563 as a private stately home and has over the centuries undergone various transformations. Currently, it has been converted to private flats. Due to its location alongside the motorway leading in and out of the city, it is a prominent landmark.

Duchess of Sutherland's run from London to Bath and Bristol in brilliant winter conditions was the perfect way to sign off mainline steam for Bath in 2022. The weather was immaculate throughout with blue skies on a very chilly day would make for amazing exhaust from the Duchess against a think frost. The trip was to run via the South Western Main Line towards Salisbury before heading to Bath and Bristol via Westbury. Here we can see the Duchess pass the River Avon between Freshford and Avoncliff

Villa Carlotta is a palace and museum in Italy, located on the shores of Lake Como in Tremezzo.

 

Giambattista Sommariva, politician and patron of the arts, bought it in 1801 and transformed it into a true museum, making extensive renovations in the gardens.

 

The Villa received its name in homage to the other owner Charlotte, Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen (daughter of Princess Marianna of Prussia), who received the palace in 1843 from her mother as a marriage gift.

 

Although the palace is beautiful and contains some furniture and works of art on two floors open to the public, it is really the garden that attracts attention.

 

As I said earlier the ample garden and woodland surrounding the palace, in addition to offering a pleasant atmosphere for tour and relaxation, are very beautiful and interesting.

 

And they also include some tropical plants (various palm trees) as well as exotic flowers (orchids, bromeliads, succulents). A small and well maintained Botanical Garden.

She can’t see a thing, but she sees with her heart – even though her heart doesn’t tell her everything and she still bumps into the furniture.

With a clear road ahead, the Duchess of Sutherland roars towards York with the York Yuletide Express of December 17th 2016. Enough to raise the hairs on the back of anyone's neck!

10th December 2002 and in superb conditions 6233 Duchess of Sutherland is seen on the approach to Clapham Junction. I had discounted this shot due to the modern unit, 450003, but decided to process as it shows the old and the new of transport at the time

I took the liberty of making her a duchess because she seems so poised and has the air of royalty. I like the way she looks you right in the eye, too. Wyoming, DE

As darkness approaches, the Duchess of Sutherland roars past Stockber with the return leg of the Tyseley Steam Trust Settle and Carlisle tour of 12th March 2022. The evening was calm after a windy day and the engine could be heard for miles, a memorable experience.

Due to an unfortunate incident at Ealing Broadway, the Duchess never really recovered from the 50 minute late start in the morning. She passed me at Little Fenton just under an hour late. This worked to my advantage though, as the sun had moved round enough to make the shot, had she been on time it would have been down the line.

 

Stanier 'Princess Coronation' 4-6-2 no.46233 'Duchess of Sutherland', having passing through Sherburn-in-Elmet, powers along the flat, straight, at Little Fenton with the late running "York Yuletide Express".

The light was perfect.

 

The hair was behaving.

The makeup was behaving.

And Nikolai Fellini had just said the most dangerous words a photographer can say:

 

“Do not move.”

 

So the Duchess held the pose.

 

Perfectly still.

Perfectly composed.

And quietly wondering whether the photograph might be every bit as beautiful as the moment felt.

 

This still was captured during the filming of the Duchess’s latest Second Life beauty shoot — a poised, intimate moment between Her Grace and her favorite photographer.

 

Naturally, she is now dying to see the final portrait.
