Casket for the Roll of Honour, Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street, London. 1939. The shrine takes the form of an altar on a boat. It contains a continuous illuminated scroll inscribed with the names of the fallen and flanked with lettering in metal: “Live thou for England” and “We for England died”. At the four corners guarding the scroll are the four kneeling figures representing the armed services. At the four corners of the body of the Shrine winged seraphs stand ready with trumpets to herald the arrival of pilgrims, alongside the national patron saints. The face of the Shrine has four gilded figures: Moses with the Tables of the Law; Joshua at the battle of Bethoron; Solomon in his wisdom; St. George for England. Binding all these figures together is a band of symbolic flowers. In the centre of this the soul of man rests in the Hand of the Almighty. There are some little boat-shaped forms at the base supporting the shrine and resting on the stone on which the waters of everlasting life are carved. Material: bronze cast, chased and enriched with patines obtained by acids, chemicals, wax and lacquers. The statuettes are fire-gilt. Work conceived, designed and modelled by Walter Gilbert. This shrine is Freemason Gilbert’s last – and greatest – work. The importance attached to it by Gilbert himself is evidenced by the rare occurrence of an inscription crediting the artist. The mercury vapour used to gild the figures may have been instrumental in the lung damage which caused his death. Contemporaneous photo commissioned by Walter Gilbert.

Dried Up is based on the curled up dried leaves I found while unpacking my dahlia bulbs for replanting this spring. I love the way they bend, and curve, and crinkle and crumple in all different directions. Dried up has been folded and formed in my usual manner, and then I put her on a piece of soft wood and hammered some of the crumples in by hand. She's a bit more organic and natural looking than most of my bracelets,
In 1494, the Jewish square unter the name of Schulhof (Schoolyard) formed the central center of the Jewish Town which was first mentioned in 1294 as the "schoolyard of the Jews". The Jewish city stretched to the north to the church of Saint Mary on the Strand, the western side was bounded by the Deep Ditch, the east side by the Tuchlauben. The south side was formed by the square Am Hof/At Court. The ghetto comprised 70 houses arranged in a way that their back walls formed a closed bounding wall. The ghetto could be entered through four gates; the two main entrances were on Wipplinger street (Wiltwercherstrass). The square was surrounded by fifteen houses and five streets led to it. Around 1400, 800 inhabitants lived here: traders, creditors, scholars in Kammerknechtschaft (Servi camerae regis (Latin: "servants of the royal chamber", German: "Kammerknechtschaft") was the status of the Jews in Christian Europe in the Middle Ages).
On the place itself was located the synagogue (mentioned for the first time in 1204), the only stone building among the private and communal houses, which occupied a third of the square in the west, the hospital (now Jewish square No. 10, House of the Cooperative of the Dressmakers), the house of the rabbi and the Jewish school on the grounds of the municipal garden (now the Collaltopalais), which was one of the most important in the German-speaking world. Here famous rabbis taught and worked and turned the city into a center of Jewish knowledge. After the school, the square then was named "Schoolyard". Later, this name was transferred to the smaller square of the Jewish Garden lain to the north behind the church At Court, which still today is listening to this name. The original school yard has been given the name "New Square" (on the Newn plac) since 1423, since 1437 it is called Jewish square.
For the construction of the memorial to the Austrian Jewish victims of the Shoa excavations were carried out from July 1995 to November 1998. These are regarded as the most important urban core investigations in Vienna. On the eastern half of the square were furthermore found the dry-stone walls, a well and cellars of a whole block of houses, which had stood here at the time of the synagogue. The in 1995 excavated remains under the Jewish square of the in 1421 destroyed synagogue bear testimony of the medieval community life and its destruction. In 2000, the Museum Jewish square was opened as the second location of the Jewish Museum in Vienna. In this museum, a permanent exhibition on the history of the Jewish square as well as the foundations of the destroyed Or-Sarua Synagogue can be visited directly under the memorial (see also: Jews in Vienna).
The complete redevelopment of the square and its conversion to the pedestrian zone was completed in autumn 2000 with the inauguration of the Holocaust memorial. The city of Vienna was awarded the special prize of the City of Vicenza in Italy for the design of the Jewish square by the Dedalo Minosse International Prize's Jury.
Der Judenplatz bildete unter dem Namen „Schulhof“ bis 1421 den zentral gelegenen Mittelpunkt der Judenstadt, der 1294 als „Schulhof der Juden“ erstmals erwähnt wurde. Die Judenstadt erstreckte sich nach Norden bis zur Kirche Maria am Gestade, die Westseite wurde vom Tiefen Graben, die Ostseite von den Tuchlauben begrenzt. Die Südseite bildete der Platz Am Hof. Das Ghetto umfasste 70 Häuser, die so angeordnet waren, dass ihre Rückwände eine geschlossene Begrenzungsmauer bildeten. Durch vier Tore konnte das Ghetto betreten werden, die beiden Haupteingänge lagen an der Wipplingerstraße (Wiltwercherstrass). Der Platz wurde von fünfzehn Häusern umsäumt und fünf Straßenzüge mündeten in ihn. Um 1400 lebten hier 800 Einwohner: Händler, Kreditgeber, Gelehrte in Kammerknechtschaft.
Am Platz selbst befanden sich die Synagoge (erstmals 1204 erwähnt), der einzige Steinbau unter den Privat- und Gemeindehäusern, die im Westen ein Drittel des Platzes einnahm, das Spital (heute Judenplatz Nr. 10, Haus der Genossenschaft der Kleidermacher), das Haus des Rabbis und die Judenschule auf dem Grunde des Gemeindegartens (jetzt das Collaltopalais), die eine der bedeutendsten des deutschsprachigen Raumes war. Hier lehrten und wirkten berühmte Rabbiner und machten die Stadt zu einem Zentrum jüdischen Wissens. Nach der Schule führte der Platz damals seinen Namen „Schulhof“. Später wurde dieser Name auf den nördlich gelegenen kleineren Platz des Judengartens hinter der Kirche am Hof übertragen, der heute noch so heißt. Dem ursprünglichen Schulhof gab man seit 1423 die Bezeichnung „Neuer Platz“ (an dem Newn placz), seit 1437 heißt er Judenplatz.
Für die Errichtung des Mahnmals für die österreichischen jüdischen Opfer der Shoa wurden von Juli 1995 bis November 1998 Ausgrabungen durchgeführt. Diese gelten als die bedeutendsten Stadtkernuntersuchungen in Wien. Auf der östlichen Hälfte des Platzes wurden außerdem die Bruchsteinmauern, ein Brunnen und Keller eines ganzen Häuserblocks gefunden, der zur Zeit der Synagoge hier gestanden war. Die 1995 unter dem Judenplatz ausgegrabenen Überreste der 1421 zerstörten Synagoge geben Zeugnis des mittelalterlichen Gemeindelebens und dessen Vernichtung. Im Jahr 2000 wurde das Museum Judenplatz als zweiter Standort des Jüdischen Museums Wien eröffnet. In ihm sind eine Dauerausstellung über die Geschichte des Judenplatzes sowie die Fundamente der zerstörten Or-Sarua-Synagoge direkt unter dem Mahnmal zu besichtigen (siehe auch: Juden in Wien).
Die komplette Neugestaltung des Platzes und seine Umwandlung zur Fußgängerzone wurde im Herbst 2000 mit der Einweihung des Holocaust-Mahnmals abgeschlossen. Die Stadt Wien wurde für die Gestaltung des Judenplatzes von der „Dedalo Minosse International Prize's Jury“ mit dem Spezialpreis der Stadt Vicenza in Italien 2002 ausgezeichnet.
Taken at Chipping Campden School at around 3pm with a Sony A100 and Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm and F16. A five set HDR (1EV steps) merged in Artizen 2.5.21 and tone mapped with Lock05. No other post processing was done (other than to remove a dust smudge). This is a relatively new block for the kids that replaced some awful wooden huts.

Trumpet, flugelhorn: Nick Ashwood
Trumpet, melodica: Steve Pretty
Alto & baritone saxophones: Cath Roberts
Tenor saxophone: Tom Ward
Trombone: Dave Odams
Trombone: Jonathan Sweeney
Trombone: Magnus Dearness

The radius of the curves that I want to end up with is 16'. In order to allow for the "spring back" of the steel, the bending form is 10' radius. The form is mounted to a hydraulic jack and Harbor Freight pipe bender. I used chains to restrain the ends of the tubing during the bend. Everything is mounted to the steel edge of my outdoor workbench.

"L’oggetto è costituito da una serie di contenitori modulati a forma di spicchio, disposti circolarmente attorno a un asse verticale, al quale ogni spicchio appoggia il suo lato rettilineo mentre tutti i lati curvi volti verso l’esterno, danno nell’assieme come forma globale, una specie di sfera.
L’insieme di questi spicchi è raccolto in un imballaggio ben caratterizzato sia come materia sia come colore: abbastanza duro alla superficie esterna e rivestito con un’imbottitura morbida interna di protezione tra l’esterno e l’assieme dei contenitori. Il materiale usato è tutto della stessa natura, in origine, ma si differenzia in modo appropriato secondo la funzione. L’apertura dell’imballaggio avviene in modo molto semplice e quindi non si rende necessario uno stampato allegato con le illustrazioni per l’uso. Lo strato d’imbottitura ha anche la funzione di creare una zona neutra tra la superficie esterna e i contenitori così che, rompendo la superficie, in qualunque punto, senza bisogno di calcolare lo spessore esatto di questa, è possibile aprire l’imballaggio e prendere i contenitori intatti. Ogni contenitore è a sua volta formato da una pellicola plastica, sufficiente per contenere il succo, ma naturalmente abbastanza manovrabile. Un debolissimo adesivo tiene uniti gli spicchi tra loro per cui è facile scomporre l’oggetto nelle sue varie parti tutte uguali. L’imballaggio, come si usa oggi, non è da ritornare al fabbricante ma si può gettare. Qualcosa va detto sulla forma degli spicchi: ogni spicchio ha esattamente la forma della disposizione dei denti nella bocca umana per cui, una volta estratto dall’imballaggio si può appoggiare tra i denti e con una leggera pressione, romperlo e mangiare il succo. Si potrebbe anche, a questo proposito considerare come i mandarini siano una specie di produzione minore, adatta specialmente ai bambini, avendo lo spicchio più piccolo. Oggi purtroppo con l’uso delle macchine spremitrici tutto viene confuso e gli adulti mangiano il cibo dei bambini e viceversa. Di solito, gli spicchi, contengono oltre al succo, un piccolo seme della stessa pianta: un piccolo omaggio che la produzione offre al consumatore nel caso che questi volesse avere una produzione personale di questi oggetti. Notare il disinteresse economico di una simile idea e per contro il legame psicologico che ne nasce tra consumatore e produzione: nessuno, o ben pochi, si mettono a seminare aranci, però l’offerta di questa concessione altamente altruista, l’idea di poterlo fare, libera il consumatore dal complesso di castrazione e stabilisce un rapporto di fiducia autonoma reciproca. Gesto cordiale e signorile, non come certi produttori contemporanei che offrono una mucca a chi compra venticinque grammi di formaggio.
L’arancia quindi è un oggetto quasi perfetto dove si riscontra l’assoluta coerenza tra forma, funzione, consumo.
Persino il colore è esatto, in blu sarebbe sbagliato. Tipico oggetto di una produzione veramente di grande serie e a livello internazionale dove l’assenza di qualunque elemento simbolico espressivo legato alla moda dello styling o dell’estètique industrielle, di qualunque riferimento a figuratività sofisticate, dimostrano una conoscenza di progettazione difficile da riscontrare nel livello medio dei designer. Unica concessione decorativa, se così possiamo dire, si può considerare la ricerca “materica” della superficie dell’imballaggio trattata a “buccia d’arancia”. Forse per ricordare la polpa interna dei contenitori a spicchio, comunque un minimo di decorazione, tanto più giustificata come in questo caso, dobbiamo ammetterla".

As the snow melted slowly, a sheet of ice slid down the glass covering to the entry creating a beautiful flat lacy sculpture while it froze again.
I had no idea what these strange flowers were when I first saw them, but I believe these are the new leaves forming on a shagbark hickory tree.

I've been studying black and white "fine art" lately. This was a clean white VW beetle sitting in a parking lot catching some pretty white sun. Gave it a shot. Your thoughts?
Mauna Loa is one of five volcanoes that form the Island of Hawaii in the U.S. state of Hawaiʻi in the Pacific Ocean. Mauna Loa is the largest subaerial volcano in both mass and volume, and has historically been considered the largest volcano on Earth. It is an active shield volcano, with a volume estimated at approximately 18,000 cubic miles (75,000 km3), although its peak is about 120 feet (37 m) lower than that of its neighbor, Mauna Kea. The Hawaiian name "Mauna Loa" means "Long Mountain". Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica-poor, and very fluid; eruptions tend to be non-explosive and the volcano has relatively shallow slopes.
Mauna Loa has probably been erupting for at least 700,000 years, and may have emerged above sea level about 400,000 years ago. The oldest-known dated rocks are not older than 200,000 years. The volcano's magma comes from the Hawaii hotspot, which has been responsible for the creation of the Hawaiian island chain over tens of millions of years. The slow drift of the Pacific Plate will eventually carry Mauna Loa away from the hotspot within 500,000 to one million years from now, at which point it will become extinct.
Mauna Loa's most recent eruption occurred from March 24 to April 15, 1984. No recent eruptions of the volcano have caused fatalities, but eruptions in 1926 and 1950 destroyed villages, and the city of Hilo is partly built on lava flows from the late 19th century. Based on the hazards it poses to population centers, Mauna Loa is part of the Decade Volcanoes program, which encourages studies of the world's most dangerous volcanoes. Mauna Loa has been monitored intensively by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory since 1912. Observations of the atmosphere are undertaken at the Mauna Loa Observatory, and of the Sun at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory, both located near the mountain's summit. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park covers the summit and the southeastern flank of the volcano, and also incorporates Kīlauea, a separate volcano.
