St Pancras New Church (so entitled to differentiate it from an older building that remains several blocks away to the north east) was built in 1819-22 to the designs of William & Henry Inwood and is a remarkable example of the then prevalent taste for Neo-Classical architecture. Few churches can claim to be as Grecian in style as this one, which boasts the unique features of two porticoes flanking the east end copied directly from the famous caryatid porch of the Erectheum on the Athenian Acropolis, complete with column figures in terracotta (molded in sections around cast-iron columns). The spindly octagonal tower is a major landmark to visitors arriving at nearby Euston Station just over the main road (as it has welcomed me on many visits to the capital).
The interior of the church continues the theme of Classical severity, with a broad flat coffered ceiling spanning the nave with the apse beyond adding a touch of enrichment. The Victorian glass in the windows does make the space a little gloomier than it could be. The galleries remain and create side aisles beneath them but otherwise the interior retains the impression of a large unified space.
I am unsure what normal opening times are for this church but I believe it is usually open in office hours during the day.

INTRODUCTION
This slideshow accompanies a paper entitled Solving The Great Steel Caper: DEW-Demolition Contrary Evidence By Dr. Gregory S. Jenkins.
I have chronologically organized 110 photographs from various perspectives to illustrate some points. The chronology with the associated time-stamp allows the viewer to gauge the variations in perspective even though the differing views are of the same event. True differences in the character of the debris plumes and clouds which develop over time can be quickly and directly observed. Misleading perspectives can easily be judged based upon other photographs.
The main points emphasized in the slideshow are the following:
-The north and south tower plumes before collapse traveled virtually horizontally with the prevailing wind
-during and after the collapse of the south tower, the smoke and debris did not move upwards since the smoke emanating from the north tower which blew directly over the south tower remained unperturbed
-during and after the collapse of the north tower, the smoke and debris did not move upwards since the generated debris never rose above the position of the original plume from the fires
-during and immediately after the collapses, all debris moved horizontally outward and downward due to the expulsion of air from the collapsing buildings. Clouds of dust moved outward resembling a pyroclastic surge, a specific type of low density flow to be discussed, engulfed lower Manhattan. Generated air currents responded to the local topology with some currents moving upward along the face of buildings, while other air currents were channeled through the canyons of NYC. Turbulence maintained particles in suspensions while concurrently transporting the particles horizontally.
-As the debris flows slowed, the larger particles settled quickly leaving behind the finer particles giving the debris clouds the appearance of a ‘diffuse’ cumulus like cloud. The resemblance, which will be discussed later, is not serendipitous: the cloud density and particle sizes are about the same as that of a cumulus cloud
-some of the smaller particles continued to be carried by the prevailing air currents
-the wind currents at 1400’ were about the same as those at 600’ since no significant sheer forces manifested in elongated clouds
-fires began developing within 20 minutes or so after the collapse of the north tower and increased in intensity. As the original debris cloud settled and drifted from ground zero, the whitish plume was replaced by a carbonaceous plume mainly from fires in the vicinity of WTC 5, 6, and 7.
These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.
Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.
It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.
So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?
The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.
Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.
When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!
You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.
The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

July 11, 2023 - Palácio Nacional de Sintra (Sintra National Palace) "The Palace of Sintra is first referenced by Al-Bakrî, a 10th century Moorish geographer, in conjunction with the castle that he placed in the lofty peaks of the surrounding hills, today entitled the Moorish Castle. In 1147, following the conquest of Lisbon by Afonso Henriques, the Almoravids of Sintra surrendered to bring an end to over three centuries of Moorish domination. On the site of the current palace, then named Chão da Oliva, there probably once stood the residence of the Moorish governors but with the remains still for discovery.
Practically every king and queen of Portugal spent some time in residence at the National Palace of Sintra for varying lengths of time but nevertheless leaving behind their own respective marks and memories of their lives. Over the course of time, the palace was shaped by different styles influenced by the different artistic trends prevailing in each period, reflected today in the various architectural styles with the Gothic and Manueline particularly evident. There is also a very heavy emphasis on the Mudejar style – a symbiosis between Christian and Muslim art – particularly to the fore in the exuberant Hispano-Moresque tile finishings. The current building configuration stems broadly from the construction campaigns undertaken during the reigns of kings Dinis, João I, Manuel I and João III.
The first document testifying to the existence of a palace in Chão da Oliva dates to 1281. This stems from a contract reached between King Dinis (reigned 1279-1325) and the free Moors of Colares. Dinis lowered their fiscal burdens in exchange for their efforts to conserve the palace. At this time, the Royal Palace extended only to the upper section of the current palace and a chapel dedicated to the Holy Divine Spirit, whose worship was introduced to Sintra by Saintly Queen Elizabeth, wife of Dinis.
The Palace and town of Sintra and the surrounding lands were bestowed upon Saintly Queen Elizabeth in 1287 by King Dinis. While the property remained in the hands of the crown, the queen became the beneficiary taking receipt of all income and tax revenues. A century later, the gifting of Sintra to queens had become a constant practice. On receiving the town and its palaces, the Queens of Portugal became masters of a vast area with the income ensuring they could maintain a House, that is, the large number of people who directly depended on her. The House of Queens was therefore the set of palace, properties, rents and persons in her charge for safeguarding: ranging from noble ladies and officers down to servants and enslaved individuals.
During the reign of King João I (1356-1433), the palace was subject to fairly wide reaching interventions. That which was the palace of Queen Philippa of Lancaster was also becoming a favourite of the king who here wanted to, through the opulence displayed in the new rooms, affirm his statute as founder of the new Avis dynasty, as is the case with the Swan Room. The new palace was structured around the Central Patio and also fitted with a kitchen complete with two enormous conical chimneys.
It was in the Palace of Sintra in 1413 that King João I received the spies sent to the court of Sicily on a supposed diplomatic mission but with the real objective of collecting strategic information on the port of Ceuta. Such information was essential to the attack launched by the Portuguese king against that city with its conquest symbolically marking the beginning of the Portuguese period of expansion into North Africa.
During the 15th century, the presence of the king in the palace became more frequent. The hunting was one of the main attractions bringing the court to Sintra as the region brought together perfect conditions both for hunting larger (wild boar, deer) and smaller (hare, partridge) animals. Another reason was the progressive emergence of Lisbon as the bureaucratic centre of the kingdom’s governance and hence leading the court to circumscribe its travels to an increasingly narrow radius around the leading Portuguese city. Throughout this period, the town of Sintra maintained the House of Queens even while the palace also steadily became a home for the kings of Portugal.
Under Manuel I (1469-1521), the Palace received the decorative features that still today make up its distinctive characteristics, especially the Hispano-Moresque tile finishings. He added the imposing Room of the Coat of Arms, with its cupola ostentatiously displaying the coats of arms of Manuel, his children and the seventy-two most noble households in the kingdom. The Eastern Wing also dates back to this period. By the end of his reign, the Palace of Sintra was one of the most grandiose of all in Portugal, with its rooms decorated in the gold brought back from the lands in the meantime colonised by the Portuguese.
During the reign of King João III (1502-1557), a new Palace was built through interconnecting the main chambers to the south with the north-eastern wing of the Palace that housed the Room of the Coat of Arms and the chambers of Queen Catherine of Austria (1507-1578). The palace was under frequent habitation throughout the 16th century and was one of the favourite places of King Sebastião (1554-1578).
In the 17th century, there came more sombre times for this royal residence. Following six years in exile on Angra do Heroísmo, to where he had been sent by his brother who deemed him incapable of ruling, Afonso VI arrived at the Palace of Sintra. There, he was incarcerated in the room that still today bears his name from 1674 to the time of his death that took place nine long and wearisome years after.
Following the major earthquake of 1755, which severely impacted on this complex, the Palace of Sintra underwent reconstruction while retaining the silhouette that it had already displayed ever since the middle of the 16th century and is still present today.
With the end of the Ancien Régime and the founding of a Constitutional Monarchy in 1822, the Palace of Sintra was adapted for a royal family that was no longer the centre of political decision-making. The utilisation became more domestic oriented and closer to contemporary models.
The revolution of 1910 brought an abrupt end to the time of the Palace of Sintra as a royal residence with Queen Maria Pia, widow of King Luís, the final monarch to live in the Palace and from where she departed into exile. In this same year, the National Palace of Sintra was declared a National Monument.
However, it would take until the late 1930s for the Palace to open its doors to the public on a regular and museum-like basis. Throughout this decade, there was deep reaching work undertaken so as to portray an image of Portugal’s grandiose past. Already under the dictatorial Estado Novo regime (1933-1975), this highlighted the positive role of Portugal in the globalisation process even while overlooking the true scale of its impacts.
In recent years, the Palace of Sintra has re-emerged as one of the most important cultural poles in the heart of Sintra. This forms an integral part of the Cultural Landscape of Sintra, registered by UNESCO as World Heritage on 6 December 1995. Ever since September 2012, the monument has been under the management of Parques de Sintra and accepted as a member of the European Royal Residences Network in 2013.
In this palace, Parques de Sintra has carried out a range of different conservation initiatives with the most recent incorporating the full restoration of the Preta Garden, which can be visited free of charge. The company has also invested in enriching the monument’s collections and, in 2019, integrating into the exhibition circuit a rare 17th century State Bed, a unique piece in the Portuguese context. In museum terms, there was the recent restoration and opening to the public of the Chambers of Maria Pia of Savoy. This new exhibition and museum project integrated into the visitor route a total of eight new areas and around 100 new pieces and works, ranging from furniture to paintings and the decorative arts that had hitherto been inaccessible to viewing by visitors" Previous description: www.parquesdesintra.pt/en/parks-monuments/national-palace...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weigela is a small genus of about 12 species of deciduous shrubs in the family Caprifoliaceae, growing to 1-5 m tall. All are natives of eastern Asia.
The leaves are 5-15 cm long, ovate-oblong with an acuminate tip, and with a serrated margin. The flowers are 2-4 cm long, with a five-lobed white, pink, or red (rarely yellow) corolla, produced in small corymbs of several together in early summer. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous small winged seeds.
Weigela species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail.
The genus is named after the German scientist Christian Ehrenfried Weigel.
The British Weigela national collection is held at Sheffield Botanical Gardens; along with the national collection of the closely related Diervilla genus.[1] The german Weigela national collection is held at Sichtungsgarten Weigela in Buckow, Maerkische Schweiz [2]
Several of the species are very popular ornamental shrubs in gardens, although species have been mostly superseded by hybrids (crosses between W. florida and other Asiatic species).

Sculpture of an elephant family entitled "You can buy my heart and my soul" by South African artist Andries Botha.
"In African mythology the elephant reincarnates carrying the soul of a murdered God. It is thus the embodiment of the transmigration of souls. It is also the metaphor for the world's preoccupation with Africa as an exotic location. The elephant thus embodies the world's romanticism with Africa. In part it is the Colonial panacea: wildness can be contained, civilised and taken back to the ballrooms of the First World as a trophy."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geranium
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. It is found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. These attractive flowers will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semi-ripe cuttings in summer, by seed or by division in autumn or spring.
The species Geranium viscosissimum is considered to be protocarnivorous.
The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane. The genus name is derived from the Greek γέρανος, géranos, or γερανός, geranós, crane. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. Their rose, pink to blue or white flowers have 5 petals.
Cranesbills are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail and Mouse Moth.
Confusingly, "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which were formerly classified in the cranesbill genus. In the United States, true Geraniums are frequently distinguished from the less hardy Pelargoniums as (rather redundantly) "hardy geraniums" by gardeners and in the horticultural trade. One can make the distinction between the two by looking at the flowers: Geranium has symmetrical flowers, while Pelargonium has irregular or maculate petals. Other former members of the genus are now classified in genus Erodium, including the plants known as filarees in North America.
