On the edge of Kingsmere Lake, Mackenzie King spent almost 50 years (1903 – 1950) improving and expanding his estate, which he bequeathed to all Canadians. From the moment we enter this picturesque estate through wooded paths, we can enjoy the beauty of the Mooreside Main House and gardens where he hosted several important statesmen such as Winston Churchill among others. The spirits lead us to King’s historical ruins:

The Abbey Ruins

The stones from the Abbey Ruins were pieced together from remnants of other buildings, including

- the Canadian Parliament Building destroyed from fire in 1916,

- the crest of a former speaker of the House of Commons at Westminster, England,

- the stones from the printing office owned by King’s maternal grandfather, and

- the temple-like front piece (“Greek temple on a hill” he says) – came from a bay window removed from a Sandy Hill house about to be demolished. His imagination turned the bay window into the Acropolis.

Mackenzie King Estate, Gatineau Park, Québec, Canada

Au bord du lac Kingsmere, Mackenzie-King passa près de 50 ans (de 1903 à 1950) à améliorer et à agrandir son domaine qu'il légua à tous les Canadiens. Dès que nous entrons dans ce domaine pittoresque par des chemins boisés, nous pouvons apprécier la beauté de la maison principale et des jardins de Mooreside où il a hébergé plusieurs hommes d'État importants, tel que Winston Churchill. Les esprits nous mènent aux ruines historiques de King:

Les ruines de l'abbaye

Les pierres des ruines de l’abbaye ont été reconstituées à partir de vestiges d’autres bâtiments, notamment

- le Parlement canadien détruit par un incendie en 1916,

- l'emblème d'un ancien président de la Chambre des communes à Westminster, en Angleterre,

- les pierres de l’imprimerie appartenant au grand-père maternel de King et

- le morceau de façade en forme de temple « temple grec sur une colline », dit-il) - venait d'une baie vitrée retirée d'une maison de Sandy Hill sur le point d'être démolie. Son imagination transforma la baie vitrée en Acropole.

United Kingdom, London, Oxford Circus Tube Station, Winter 2024

The London Underground (also known simply as the Underground or as the Tube) is a rapid transit system serving Greater London and some parts of the adjacent home counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in England. It opened on 10 January 1863 as the world's first underground passenger railway. The network has expanded to 11 lines with 400 km of track with 272 stations and it collectively accommodates up to 5 million passenger journeys a day. The tube is an international icon for London, with the tube map, considered a design classic, having influenced many other transport maps worldwide.

Before you stands the great western divide. This ridge of peaks divides the kaweah river drainage in from of you from the kern River drainage on the other side. The great western divide rises high enough to block the view of Mount Whitney, tallest of the Sierran peaks at 14,494 feet.

In 1890, Sequoia National Park included the Giant Forest but not the peaks you see in the distance. Over time, ideas of what should be preserved in a national park changed. in 1926, this view became park scenery when Congress enlarged the boundary to the crest of Sierra Nevada.

Ferdinand Effinger, Sr., a German immigrant, founded the family brewing business in Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin in 1885. One of about 300 small breweries in Wisconsin when founded in the late nineteenth century, the Effinger Brewing Company was one of only 19 small breweries in the state in 1966, when the firm ceased brewing due to declining sales.

The original brewery complex, erected in 1885, housed Effinger's family and a saloon in addition to beer-making facilities. Eleven years later, Effinger was one of the earliest brewers in the state to begin producing bottled beer.

In 1911 Effinger reorganized the firm as a corporation owned by family members. In 1913-1914 the brewery was remodeled and expanded, providing space for new cellars, keg washrooms, and a mechanical refrigeration system.

With the advent of Prohibition in 1920, the company began producing root beer and near-beer. In 1921 the firm successfully converted to ice cream making and sales. Ten years later, the firm sold its ice cream business to the Borden Company and began reconverting the plant for beer production, which began in 1933. The firm continued its expansion program through 1948 when a new brewery building was completed and new bottling equipment was installed.

Throughout its 81-year existence, the Effinger Brewing Company remained a family-owned and managed business. The sons and grandsons of the founder served as corporate officers and as managers of the brewery. After the death of the founder in 1945, Ferdinand Effinger, Jr., became the firm's president and brewmaster, positions he occupied until the firm went out of business. Frederick J. Effinger, a grandson of the founder, served as secretary-treasurer and director (plant manager) from 1945 to 1966.

'Tiny Toblerones' - a gift for Huw from a friend. I know he'd be willing to share 😉

Caption definitely doesn't refer to how 'tight' I am with my money but to the fact that since Lockdown in March 2020 I haven't been to the Cashpoint to get any cash out with most places only accepting contactless card payments. In fact I bought this new purse last February but these days rarely take it out with me because my DD and donor cards fit nicely into my 'fraud safe' mobile phone cover. To give it a fairly aged look I put it through Lightroom CC

This is the ruins of Craigmillar Castle in Edinburgh, which was once the favoured home of Mary, Queen of Scots!

My daughter had a hospital appointment in Edinburgh, today and I drove her there which was fortunate as I managed to discover this old beauty!!

Today, space day, expand your thinking, expand your consciousness.

Taken from 1-Chome 15-1 Hanakawado apartment rooftop. A 25 seconds exposure captured both colors of the Skytree. The weather was cooperative at that moment, had to wait for the rain to stop though. Somewhat lucky! I hope it will be of interest to some of you. Once again, thanks for looking!

Your comments & faves are greatly appreciated!
