Sculpture of St George by one of the three great portals of Cologne Cathedral's south transept facade.
The doors of this facade were destroyed by bomb blast during the Second World War and replaced by intriguing contemporary designs.
Also damaged were some of the sculptures at the outer extremities of the portals; these were completely removed in the postwar restoration and have only recently been reinstated with newly carved replicas, which in their whiteness currently stand out in contrast to their older companions (this work began in the 1990s, on my previous visit here in 1995 eight of these new figures were being temporarily exhibited inside the south transept.)
Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
History of the 41st Regiment of Foot Fife & Drum Corps
The young men who served the English Crown during the 18th and 19th century as fifers and drummers were disciplined, courageous and held positions of responsibility. Sons of soldiers, they were old enough to take on a role in the regiment and its daily functions. It was up to these professional musicians to act as a communication system and as musical entertainment for the army. They played music to inspire the men, remind them of home, and to help them deal with the hardships of military life.
As duty drummers (a name used both for fifers and drummers), they took turns on a 24-hour guard shift and were expected to know and be able to beat play any Order at any time. Incompetence was not tolerated. They beat performed their duty calls every day, starting with Reveille to wake the garrison, and ending with the Taptoo to warn that the gates of the garrison were to close for the night.
41st Regiment of Foot Band of Music s a unique musical program , which focuses on the more popular, social music of the 18th and early 19th centuries. A Band of Music could be made up of officers, soldiers or civilian musicians, who provided entertainment for the upper classes through concerts, plays and dances. This music was quite different from the repertoire of the Fife and Drum Corps, whose main purpose was to act as a form of communication on the battlefields.
I did not really even know who George Ezra was, but I volunteered to accompany Flo and Audrey into DC last night for his concert at the Lincoln Theatre. I was pleasantly surprised with some good music and an entertaining evening.

In the latter half of the 19th century, Sigmund Freud failed in his efforts to study, reconstruct, and understand the human brain. And for over a century man’s attempts have all been for naught in this endeavor, until there was George Hart. George Hart may look to be a geometric sculptor, but he’s actually the only person ever to reconstruct accurate models of the living human brain. You’ll see all the intricacies and facets of the mind in each and every represenation. This makes his work incredibly rare and ultra-valuable. Only a select few will ever be fortunate enough to see these marvels in real-life, consider yourself lucky. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com
George Court, an alleyway to the Adelphi from the Strand
"A narrow entrance easily missed and not many yards east of Buckingham Street leads by steps down the hill towards the river. The court is contemporary with the adjacent property of the Adelphi, and got its name from the fact that it is connected George Street, Adelphi (laid out in 1675 and now called York Buildings), with the Strand. These York buildings were called after York House, the residence acquired by the Archbishops of York during Mary's reign, but little used by them. The York water-gate, Buckingham Street, commemorates the name."
