On European Heritage Day, I visited the Pavilion with the extraordinary sculpture by Jef Lambeaux on the Human Passions. The Pavilion was one of the early works of Victor Horta, one of the greatest Art Nouveau architects.
The building was closed for many years, and we could only get a glance at the sculpture by spying through a peephole. It took a year to renovate it, and the day I visited was the first day it was opened to the public. I had not expected the sculpture to be so impressive, so massive and so thought-provoking.
In future, it will be possible to visit it, by pre-arranged appointment and with a guide. More information on the pavilion and the sculpture here :

Here's a fun thing. About halfway into Diamond Caverns, you come to this little altar assembled from bits of translucent travertine formations from broken speliothems collected from different parts of the cave. The people who owned Diamond Caverns used to perform weddings here in the early part of the 20th century. This would have been a pretty cool place to have a wedding, sort of the geographical opposite of Las Vegas.
There's no evidence that Diamond Cavern was known to Pre-Columbian native people. I can't imagine there wasn't somebody in here at some point, though it's possible the cave itself didn't open onto the surface until recent times. Modern Kentuckians first came across the cave in 1859, when a slave owned by a landowner named Jessie Coats stumbled across the hole at the bottom of the rocky valley. The hole involved a vertical drop of unknown distance, so a bunch of people lowered the slave into the hole by a rope and had him take a look around. The slave saw a bunch of crystals sparkling in the light of the lantern and thought they looked like diamonds, so the cave came to be named Diamond Caverns. Unfortunately, Kentucky being what it was, nobody thought to write down the name of the slave.
Mammoth Cave five miles away was already something of a tourist attraction for rich folks at this time, and the people who owned this land saw dollar signs. The mouth of the cave happened to be located a short distance from William Bell's Tavern, so Jesse Coats partnered with William Bell and built a building over the cave entrance, a staircase into the cave, and a bunch of paths over the cave floor. The cave opened to tours in August of 1859, and aside from a few shutdowns during the Civil War, it's been running ever since.

On Thursday 23rd September we were given our new project briefs titled 'Human Impact'. We went on a trip to Two Tree Island to do this project however due to terrible weather we hardly got any of the work done there. Seeing as I didn't really feel there was much visible 'Human Impact' at TTI (Other than dog waste everywhere, now THAT is human impact..) I decided to do my project in Paglesham. Here I created a series of images showing 'human impact' around the area. The brief said we had to have two final images printed and mounted for critique on Tuesday 28th, however I had a hard time picking two final images, so I settled with four. I shot all images in RAW format for the first time ever, after reading about editing RAW files. I really liked this project and I feel I have shown well thought-out pictures about the human impact on Paglesham.

"Once poverty is gone, we'll need to build museums to display its horrors to future generations. They'll wonder why poverty continued so long in human society - how a few people could live in luxury while billions dwelt in misery, deprivation and despair."
