The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow in Scotland wearing its characteristic traffic cone
Swindon Bus Company's YN55 NHK, named Duke of Cornwall, sits at Flemming Way halfway through working a 5 through to Park North. It's been a while since I've seen these out and about in Swindon and was a pleasant surprise to have these over the usual Solar's I'd have ended up spending an evening on.
These Scania N94's, new to Transdev London Sovereign in October of 2005, were named after locomotives that came out of Swindon Rail Works when they were purchased by Thamesdown back in 2013.
A great Bristol institution. The Old Duke has been providing live jazz and blues for many years as well as having one of the finest atmospheres and interiors of any pub in the city. Long may it continue
With St. James Passage to the right, & St. Botolph's Church to the left.
St. James Passage used to be Church Passage, & it used to be much narrower. It leads into Mitre Square. It was at this entrance to Church Passage where the three men (Joseph Lawende, Joseph Levy & Harry Harris) leaving the Jewish Imperial Club on Duke Street saw a man & a woman at around 1:35 AM on the 30th of September 1888. Catherine Eddowes was found murdered about 10 minutes later in Mitre Square.
Lawende was shown some of Eddowes's clothes & thought they looked the same as to what the woman he saw was wearing.
On this trip (which was in 2019), I took a fair few shots of this spot, because it just creeps me out just thinking of the three men walking by Eddowes & her killer.
Here is a similar shot on the same film but on a wider lens.

The site for the chapel at Duke University was selected by James B. Duke on what is now the West Campus. The architect was Julian Abele, chief designer with the Horace Trumbauer firm, of Philadelphia. Abele was America’s first black architect of renown. Duke Chapel was built on the highest ridge on the property and was completed in 1935.

Special Holidays Photo
My Cousin Duke, the shepherd/malamute husky mix, is now back home with his Mom and Dad.
We had hoped to keep him a bit longer but the heat and humidity are tough on the old boy, and though we got in one last walk this morning, temps are hitting 40C with the humidex today, and only slightly cooler over the weekend.
So we thought a collage of our few days together would be a nice way to send him off, which was what we did earlier this year when he visited for a few days. All of these are from or near the Prescott-Russell Trail in Ottawa, ON.
The photo from this morning sees me showing Duke all I know about tractors. He was not impressed, as my lesson consisted entirely of where you can pee on it.
But still, I think I'm slowly gaining his confidence, and though we don't really play together, and probably never will because Duke is not a touchy-feely kind of dog except with humans that he likes, we can at least share space without the tension of the past, and he certainly doesn't mind me alongside him when we're on our walks.
And that's good enough for me.
Here's the collage from May 19:

(No Saturday Morning Post for 7-23-16, as we've tried your patience enough this week with all the holiday photos. Thanks for the attention to Duke. We love him.)

The altar at the Duke Chapel, located on the west campus at Duke University in North Carolina.
Unfortunately, tripods weren't allowed for interior photos of this chapel, so I had to boost the ISO to 3200, in order to get a shutter speed I could hand hold. Luckily, my D90 can handle that.
Looking towards St. James Passage (where the red building is), which leads into Mitre square. At 1:35 AM on the 30th of September 1888, Joseph Hyam Levy, Joseph Lawende & Harry Harris were leaving a Jewish Imperial Club on this street, & at the corner of Church Passage (which was later renamed St. James Passage), they see a woman talking to a man.
Levy said to Harris "Look there, I don't like going home by myself when I see those characters about," referring to the couple. He couldn't give a description of them other than that the man was about 3 inches taller than the woman.
The woman had her back to Lawende, who described her as wearing a black jacket & black bonnet. He later described the woman as Catherine Eddowes, who was found horribly mutilated 10 minutes later in Mitre Square.
Lawende was able to give a description of the man he saw, of shabby appearance, looking about 30 years of age, about 5 ft 9, of fair complexion, with a small fair moustache, & wearing a red neckerchief and a cap with a peak. He did also say he don't think he could recognise him again.
Had to look onto casebook.org to refresh my memory on some of the details.

Looking toward St. James Passage (formerly known as Church Passage) that leads into Mitre Square. Around 1:35 am on September 30 1888, three men leaving the Jewish Imperial Club not far away walked by a couple standing near the entrance to Church Passage. One of them may have identified Catherine Eddowes as the woman he saw, who was found murdered about 10 minutes later in Mitre Square.
I think I may have underexposed this shot slightly for a more atmospheric darker look.

Sculpture garden
The mythical figure described is most likely Ariadne, abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos. She is sad and holding a letter wth the seashells at her feet.
At Duke Farms, the sculptures in the gardens are mostly 19th-century Italian works brought by Doris Duke’s family. In many 19th-century European and American gardens, these figures were placed as decorative statues, not always tied to a specific mythological name but rather to symbolic personifications. They often represent allegorical figures (Seasons, Muses, Nymphs).
