I am of the era when Excelsior meant Ford/Plaxton, so with heavily tinted side windows and no chrome wheel trims these really looked the part.
If you do stay at the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, some of the rooms have a view down the harbour. I bet that is gorgeous!
The Sprenger Brewery was built in Lancaster in 1873. It eventually consisted of several buildings, the most notable of which is this one, Excelsior Hall. The brewery closed in the 1890s, and in 1905 the Westenberger, Maley & Myers furniture store opened here. Westenberger et al. closed in 1977. The building then sat vacant until about ten years ago, when the Excelsior event space opened up.

If motorbikes have hoods, then this is my reflection in the hood of this 1950s English Excelsior motorbike.

Excelsior Geyser is actually not a geyser anymore, but rather a hot spring, though at one time it is belive to have been tha largest geyser in the world. Aside from two days of small eruptions in 1985, the last known eruptions occured in the 1880's. it is believed that these large eruptions caused a collapse in the internal plumbing system of the geyser, cutting off sufficient thermal energy to erupt, but still provides enough energy to discharge as a hot spring, churning out over 4000 gallons of water per minute from its pool into the Firehole River just below the ridge of its sinter. The ridge has several streams lined with colorful bacteria. The addition of this water, which flows out of the pool at a temperature of 199˚ F (93˚ C), raises the temperture of the Firehole River several degrees and can be as much as 18˚ F (10˚ C) warmer here than up river before it enters the geyser basin areas of Yellowstone. The river flows through the Upper Geyser basin and by the Biscuit Basin before reaching the Excelsior and the Midway Basin.
Byriah was very kind and shared the diagrams for this kusudama with me, and I love it! It has unusual angles which makes it interesting and sets it apart from other modular models, and it works great with five colours :)
Thanks Byriah!
Geysers are hot springs that episodically erupt columns of water. They occur in few places on Earth. The highest concentration of geysers anywhere is at the Yellowstone Hotspot Volcano (northwestern Wyoming, USA).
Excelsior Geyser is the namesake of the Excelsior Group of Yellowstone’s Midway Geyser Basin. Its basin has an irregular shape, with the longest dimension of the water-filled portion about 110 meters and the greatest width almost 80 meters. A jagged cliff borders most of Excelsior’s basin. Two major runoff channels drain to the north and northeast, into the Firehole River. Over 4,000 gallons of hot water are discharged every minute (see Bryan, 2018 - The Geysers of Yellowstone, Fifth Edition). Excelsior experienced very large eruptions in the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s, followed by more or less permanent dormancy to the present day. Eruptive activity also occurred in 1985 and 2000.
