Now, I will show you some photos taken at the campus of Duke University.
Today 15,000 students go to this university and each of them pay at least $35,000 p.a. if they have no scholarship. That's maybe one reason why they have a very lovely campus.
Plenty of their buildings were built in Neo-Gothic-style or in Georgian-style. This building is the Hudson Hall (built in 1948) and is used for the Edmund T. Pratt Jr. School of Engineering.
One highlight of the Duke campus is Duke Chapel. With 210 ft / 64 m is the chapel the highest building in Durham County. Typically for the campus is the Gothic-style although it was bulit in the 1930s.
Inside are 1,800 seats for students and staff. Sometimes you can hear the carillon with 50 bells or the organ with 5,033 pipes.
There was a closed service on the day I took the photos, so I was not allowed to visit the chapel inside.
Once again, Resaurus hit the ball out of the park... how could an action figure line based on one of the most popular video game titles go wrong? Poor quality control and the video game company dropping the ball. Duke Nukem is dead and the toy's are worthless.

..once in a time there was a duke...
Svätopluk I (around 830 - 894) from the House of Mojmír was the prince of the Principality of Nitra (850s - 871) and then the King of Great Moravia (871 - 894). Under his rule Great Moravia reached its maximum territorial expansion.
Svätopluk was the nephew of Rastislav, King of Great Moravia and he was governing a separate territory in 869 when, in August, Carloman, the eldest son of the Eastern Frankish king Louis the German invaded and devastated his territories. In the next year, Svätopluk allied himself to Carloman who invaded and occupied Rastislav's country and divided it among his followers. Moreover, Svätopluk helped Carloman to arrest his uncle with artifice and King Rastislav was blinded on the order of King Louis. In 871, Carloman accused Svätopolk of breaking his oath of loyalty and imprisoned him in Bavaria.
At the head of the popular resistance against the subsequent Frankish occupation stood up the priest Slavomír from the House of Mojmír. Svätopluk was quickly released and sent with Frankish reinforcement back to Great Moravia. But he secretly allied himself with Slavomír and after defeating the Frankish forces, he became the sovereign ruler of Great Moravia in 871. In May 872, King Louis sent Thuringian and Saxon troops against Great Moravia, but they were defeated. Shortly afterwards, Carloman invaded Great Moravia but Svätopluk could defeat Carloman's soldiers he had left beneath to guard his ships.
In 874, Svätopluk concluded peace with Louis the German and his sons in Forchheim and he promised to pay an annual tribute to the king. In 880, Pope John VIII took up his kingdom "under the protection of St. Peter", which meant a status of legal equality to the Eastern Frankish Empire. The Pope also set up an independent ecclesiastical province in Great Moravia with Archbishop Methodius as its head and created a bishopric in Nitra.
Not sure how Flickr works nowadays , it's been nearly three years since I've last posted. And much has gone on in my life that's meant I haven't had time for Flickr ect. And much of the last three years I haven't had much chance for photography , with work changes , new home and relationship , mum sadly passing away.......all has led me to being away from all online activity's. Instagram , twitter have all grown since I've been away......And really need to find out how they work too. Anyway......back to the pictures , luckily where I have moved to in Dorset there are a number of beautiful butterfly reserves close by. And here are a few shots from some of the beautiful butterflies to be found at this time of year. Hopefully I can start to post again ..........so I'll be putting up some new things and some old from over the last three years. I'm hoping to catch up with some of my old followers in the coming days.
The statue of Duke Kahanamoku, which stands near Waikiki Beach. After winning multiple Olympic medals for swimming (in the 1912, 1920, & 1924 games), Kahanamoku introduced the world to a little Hawaiian pastime called surfing. Photographed with iPhone 4s, edited with Camera+ and Instagram.
Our wonderful dog, Duke, was adopted by Sharon Trippeer. It was love at first sight at the Pet-a-Palooza event.
