Norwich Cathedral is one of England's finest buildings and greatest cathedrals; It is one of the most complete examples of Romanesque architecture in the country (arguably the least altered Norman cathedral), has the second tallest spire in Britain and it's vaulted ceilings contain the largest collection of carved medieval roof bosses anywhere.
Surprisingly for so grand a building it is relatively inconspicuous from the city itself, standing on low ground and concealed within the old Cathedral Close, an enclave of tradition and relative peace apart from the noise of the city beyond it's gates. It's monastic past is much in evidence, particularly the magnificent cloisters, the largest and some of the finest in the country.
As stated most of the building dates from the 12th century and therefore exudes that solid Norman aesthetic, massively built but still graceful and beautiful. The central tower is unusually designed with arcading and windows beneath a double row of oculi, the tapering spire above it is a 15th century addition, aside from this the only major alterations to the ancient fabric externally are the tall 14th century clerestorey and flying buttresses of the choir and the gothic enlargement of various nave and aisle windows, principally the great perpendicular west window that takes up most of the west facade.
The interior is predominantly Norman too, except for the elaborate gothic vaulted ceilings that cover nave, choir and both transepts with a uniform design (originally these higher celings would have been of wood, stone vaults were added in the late medieval period to protect against fire, a job they performed well when the transept roofs were hit by incendiary bombs in World War II). These vaults display an unrivalled collection of narrative roof bosses, carved and coloured with Old & New Testament scenes (mainly in the nave and transepts, the choir bosses are mostly decorated with the emblem of their donor, Bishop Goldwell).
The cathedral has surprisingly few major monuments and sculptures compared to most of it's peers, but does have more exceptional medieval art in it's 14th & 15th century painted altarpieces, the most important being the Despenser Retable in the south east chapel, a unique survivial, hidden from danger during the Reformation & Civil War by being converted to the underside of a table. Further altarpieces here are formed of salvaged panels from redundant city churches. The medieval choir stalls also survive with a full set of carved misericords.
The stained glass by contrast is mostly Victorian and quite mixed (very little medieval glass survives). Striking modern glass by Keith New and John Hayward was installed in the north transept to commemorate the Millennium.
The cloisters to the south of the nave are one of my favourite places, all four walks are covered by yet more vaulted ceilings with over 400 more carved and repainted bosses (lower down and much easier to study than those inside the main body of the cathedral) spanning the long period of the cloister's construction throughout the 14th & !5th centuries.
Norwich Cathedral is special to me as being the subject of my earliest memories, recalling having been taken around the cathedral and cloisters as a 3 year old, which left a vivid impression on me and lead me to pursue an interest in church art and architecture years later, ultimately towards my present career in stained glass. Norwich Cathedral will always therefore have a touch of that nostalgic magic to me.

When you select Automatic Exposure Bracketing the camera will choose one exposure based upon what its metering thinks is right and then it will take one other shot on either side of this best guess, one over exposed and one underexposed. This way you end up with the three images in a series with exactly the same composition but at different exposures for you to select the best of later on. If you have the camera in burst mode (continuous shooting) the three shots will be taken if you hold down the shutter for a burst of three shots. If you’re in single shot mode the shots will take as you depress the shutter three times. Each digital camera has a different way of selecting AEB, so look at your owners manual to know how it works for your camera.
For this shot, I set the camera to AEB or +/-2 with the burst mode on. You can see the extreme differences in these two shots. This needs to be reset after each set is shot, or the exposure compensation dial set to the desired level.

Facing increasing competition from faster rivals and with development of its ageing six-cylinder engine nearing its end, Rolls-Royce turned to V8 power as the 1960s approached. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering was standardised. Immensely successful both at home and abroad, the Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 remained in production until the autumn of 1962.
As well as the factory-bodied cars, bespoke creations from coachbuilders James Young and the now merged firm of H J Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd (now Rolls-Royce-owned) continued to be available on the 'Cloud II chassis for those discerning enthusiasts wealthy enough to afford them. Indeed, as the factory did not offer a convertible or drophead coupé, a coachbuilt car was the only option if one's preference was Rolls-Royce-style fresh air motoring. Available in both Rolls-Royce and Bentley forms, H J Mulliner's two-door drophead coupé (Design No. 7504) was by far the most popular. Hand crafted style such as this attracted a hefty premium though, H J Mulliner's convertible being priced some 30% above the standard Silver Cloud II four-door saloon, which was already one of the world's most expensive cars. Out of a total of 2,417 Silver Cloud IIs built from September 1959 until August 1962, only 107 had the stylish and desirable drophead coupé body built by H J Mulliner, of which 74 were left-hand drive cars like this example.
Dating from the final year of production, this H J Mulliner-bodied Silver Cloud II drophead, chassis number 'LSAE89', was built to North American specification for Mr George L Jyurovat of Peninsula, Ohio, reputedly a NASA engineer. Special features specified included Sundym glass, electric windows, electric aerial, and a split bench front seat, while mirrors to both front wings were fitted in the USA by Rolls-Royce Inc. Mr Jyurovat kept the Rolls-Royce until his death. In June 1989 the car was sold from his estate, passing to Richard Gorman of Vantage Motorworks in North Miami, Florida.
When auctioneer Thomas Barrett bought the Rolls-Royce from Richard Gorman soon afterwards, it had covered only 20,982 miles from new. Although accompanying paperwork records the sale from Gorman to Barrett, a letter on file dated 15th June 1989 suggests that Gorman sold the car to Mr Charles Crail of Carpenteria, CA. Subsequently the Rolls-Royce passed to the late Don Williams, the highly respected American dealer/collector, Pebble Beach exhibitor and co-founder of the world renowned Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California where the car remained until 2011. It was then purchased by Maastricht-based Bugatti collector Jack Braam Ruben, who sold it on to a Belgian collector. Little used throughout its life, this remarkable Silver Cloud II has covered only 22,430 miles from new over the course of the last 60-plus years.
Offered fresh from extensive recommissioning by Automobile Saey of Beauvechain, this rare and exclusive coachbuilt Rolls-Royce drophead comes with their invoice for €10,408; copies of original factory paperwork; old bills of sale; assorted correspondence; Belgian registration papers; and a current technical inspection.
However...
The 'complete engine by Land Rover @ 40,945' on the hand made sign seems like almost a normal thing the seller has mentioned.
Land Rover has one of the worst reliability records of all vehicles manufacturers.
Mind you, most Discoverys of this age have rusted away by now.
"Land Rover revealed as the UK's least reliable car, as 71 per cent over three years-old break down at least once a year. It has an image of hard-wearing toughness. But Britain's Land Rover is the least reliable car on the road, according to a study of used vehicles."

Some examples by the Fauve painter André Derain, that I photographed in Basel and Zurich.
Since September 2017, I have been posting images that were taken in Art Galleries. Right now I’m building up some new works of my own , but I’m not posting these until I’m ready. In the meantime I hope that you enjoy these images that I find so inspiring.

Danzer's Orpheum
Danzer's Orpheum, preserved facade in Wasagasse 33
The stage of Gabor Steiner renovation since 1900
(Pictures, quite old ones, you can see by clicking on the link at the end of the site!)
Danzer's Orpheum is a former theater in the 9th District of Vienna Alsergrund at the Wasagasse 33. It contained after 1900 about 900 seats, 20 lodges and 450 standing places. The stage was mainly known as a theater for the operetta, vaudeville and revue.
Harmony Theatre
A syndicate of punters whose common capital was consolidated under the title of harmony, built the "stately", Liechtensteinstraße and Wasagasse road connecting Harmoniegasse. When completed, the financiers acquired by way of an actress and theater director Amalia Pasqualati (1818-1903) a "very broad" theater license with the aim by the establishement of a "temple of art" giving the complex of buildings larger value.
The theater was 1864/65 built by Otto Wagner instead of the so-called angel house and, as a sixth stage of Vienna, on 20 January 1866 under to the traffic area relating name, Harmony Theatre opened. By May 1867, was under the direction of the concession holder. The "pretty tastefully decorated" stage contained in just a gallery and 20 boxes 800 spectators. On opening night were given four one-act "novelties", two comedies and two operettas, including an adventure outpost (Ein Abenteuer auf Vorposten) of Hippolyte Kneissler (1831-1883, pseudonym for Erik Nessl) and music by Francisco Asenjo Barbieri.
Principal Conductor of the house was Conradin Carl Ferdinand (1833-1884), Second Kapellmeister (Chapel Master) Carl Millöcker. Ludwig Anzengruber appeared here as an actor. In the Schedules were Viennese operettas and farces.
The theater had a music halls concession and was only allowed to perform one-act plays. Compared to the Theater an der Wien, performing the plushly operettas for the upper classes, were here the lighter operettas such as of Ernst Reiterer to see, similar to the Strampfer theater or in the Prince Theatre.
Danzer's Orpheum
In 1872 it was taken over by the publican Edward Danzer, who gave it the name Danzer's Orpheum and mainly organized vaudeville programs.
By 1900, the theater was taken over by Gabor Steiner, shiny decked in neo-Baroque style and decorated as a winter venue of the Venice amusement park in Vienna. It was opened with the operetta Venus on Earth by Paul Lincke in the presence of the mayor Karl Lueger. The concession was extended, and it could also be given revues with greater stage effort. Eysler worked here as a coach. Here in 1903 the operetta The beautiful Greek of the later Hollywood composer Max Steiner was staged. By 1904 here became Fritzi Massary a star.
New Viennese stage

Poster for the Viennese premiere: Fools Dance by Leo Birinski 28 September, 1912.
1908 the theater received the name of New Viennese stage and devoted itself to the spectacle. For example, experienced its world premiere here in January 1910, the tragedy, the juggernaut of Leo Birinski. The director Emil Geyer made it in 1912 to a literary stage for the expressionist drama and performed writers such as Georg Kaiser and Ferdinand Bruckner. One of the 11 simultaneous premieres experienced here on 28 September 1912 , the tragi-comedy of fools dance by Leo Birinski. As an actor, worked here for instance Alexander Moissi. Since in 1925 the theater was again unsuccessfully converted to entertainment theater, it was closed in 1928. - New Viennese stage was also called a small theater at the Josefsgasse 8, which was in operation from 1957 to 1960.

Fatherhood was achieved on Father’s Day and will follow suit each day henceforth with a continuous movement where Fit Fathers commune for the benefit of their kids. We share and learn from one another to enhance positive experiences for our families, friends and community.
Naturally, Father’s Day in the Maryland, DC and Virginia area was ignited the “Fit Fathers” way for the 4th year in a row with exercise, laughter, dance, music and fun. We bring dads and father figures together annually to demonstrate the importance of being health conscious and leading by example through positive, nutritional choices. Hype for the event was built from engaging social media campaigns and coverage from Fox 5 DC, News Channel 8, CBS Radio, Radio One, SiriusXM, Black Enterprise and a host of other elite media outlets. Additionally, with $2,500 in prizes at stake for our fitness challenges, over 500 attendees came to the celebration ready for action which resulted in an eventful day.
Two Jumping Spiders (Araneae Salticidae) caught courting each other. As you can see from this example the female is larger and the male is smaller. The male has a smaller, more emaciated abdomen (due to hunger, male spiders will often starve themselves to provide "gifts" for the female, males will even sacrifice themselves to insure their success in courtships.) The male spider's palps are quite larger and much leaner (all the better to immobilize the female during the impregnation part of courtship.). The female's palps are smaller and thicker (though I have no idea why). Picture taken in Cass Lake, MN.

Athenian Agora - Odeion of Agrippa
The Odeon of Agrippa was a large concert hall located in the centre of the Ancient Agora of Athens. It was built about 15 BCE, occupying what had previously been open space in the centre of the agora. It was a gift to the people of Athens by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, a Roman statesman and general. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odeon_of_Agrippa
The Ancient Agora of Athens is the best-known example of an ancient Greek agora (open place of gathering), located in Athens, Greece. The agora in Athens had private housing, until it was reorganized by Peisistratus in the 6th century BC. Although he may have lived on the agora himself, he removed the other houses, closed wells, and made it the centre of Athenian government. He also built a drainage system, fountains and a temple to the Olympian gods. Cimon later improved the agora by constructing new buildings and planting trees. In the 5th century BC there were temples constructed to Hephaestus, Zeus and Apollo. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Agora_of_Athens
