This is the first of 4 rather 'odd' collections of slides found in a box at RAF Kinloss MRT but labelled RAF Stafford. Some of the people and places are recognisable but many are not. Ray Sefton kindly gave up much of his spare time to scan these slides into digital format for uploading. If you recognise a place or a person/event please add a tag or e-mail brican@talktalk.net with the photo number and details and he will do it for you!
Happy Valley Tea Estate is a tea garden in Darjeeling district in the Indian state of West Bengal. Established in 1854, it is Darjeeling's 2nd oldest tea estate. Spread over 437-acre, it is situated at a height of 2,100 m above sea level, 3 km north of Darjeeling, and employs more than 1500 people.
HISTORY
The estate was established in 1854 making it the 2nd oldest tea estate of Darjeeling (after Steinthal Tea Estate which was established in 1852), and at a height of 2.072 m, it is also one of the highest tea factories in the world. David Wilson, an Englishman, had named the garden Wilson Tea Estate and by 1860 had started cultivation of tea. In 1903, the estate was taken over by an Indian, Tarapada Banerjee, an aristocrat from Hooghly. In 1929, Banerjee bought the Windsor Tea Estate nearby, and merged the two estates under the name of Happy Valley Tea Estate. G.C. Banerjee was the next owner of Happy Valley Tea Estate. He with his wife Annapurna Devi and three daughters (Nonimukhi, Monmaya and Savitri) lived there for some time. Annapurna Devi was related to the Ganguly family of Khandwa; her maternal uncle was Kunjalal Bihari, father of the famous cine Gangulys.
In March 2007, after remaining nearly dormant for nearly four years as the tea industry had experienced a slump, the estate was bought over by S K Bansal, of Ambotia Tea Group, which established a new factory within the premises, and started modernization process, replating and switching to organic farming. Finally, the estate reopened to public in 2008, with the original factory turned into a working museum. It also displayed single piston slow-speed engines, and the shaft machines and sells tea-related mementos. Today, over 1500 people worked in the tea estate and processing unit.
In 2008, the hand-rolled tea produced by Happy Valley was chosen to be sold at Harrods in UK, with price ranging from ₹5,000 (US$75) to ₹6,000 (US$91) per kg, besides this, it is also available at Mariage Freres in France.
OVERVIEW
The tea estate is spread over 437 acres, at a height of 2,100 m. The bushes in the garden are very old — the minimum age is 80 years, and some are 150 years old. Very little re-plantation has been done in the recent past. Situated around 3 km north of town, below Hill Cart Road, accessible via Lochnager Road from Chowk Bazaar, this tea estate is the closest tea estate to Darjeeling town, and tourists often visit the garden. The months of March to May are the busiest time here. when plucking and processing are in progress. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Here it is! The quintessential Route 66 photo op is at exit 269. You've seen a few of the signs advertising the Jack Rabbit by now, you better go ahead and stop! Retired senator, Glenn Bassett, bought the trading post back in 1967, and used his influence to get exit ramps off of 1-40 right out front. (Really, what else is around?)
Back in the heyday of Route 66 travel, silhouetted jack rabbits adorned billboards from Springfield, MO to Joseph City, (about 1,000 miles) courtesy of the original owners. They are almost, but not quite, as ubiquitous as the non-66 Wall Drug billboards.
In the Pixar movie "Cars", the fictional town of Radiator Springs features a "Here it is" sign near Lizzie's shop, inspired by the Jackrabbit Trading Post's billboard. (Joseph City, AZ)

Monterey Bay Aquarium is a nonprofit public aquarium in Monterey, California. Known for its regional focus on the marine habitats of Monterey Bay, it was the first to exhibit a living kelp forest when it opened in October 1984. Its biologists have pioneered the animal husbandry of jellyfish and it was the first to successfully care for and display a great white shark. The organization's research and conservation efforts also focus on sea otters, various birds, and tunas. Seafood Watch, a sustainable seafood advisory list published by the aquarium beginning in 1999, has influenced the discussion surrounding sustainable seafood.
Early proposals to build a public aquarium in Monterey County were not successful until a group of four marine biologists affiliated with Stanford University revisited the concept in the late-1970s. Monterey Bay Aquarium was built at the site of a defunct sardine cannery and has been recognized for its architectural achievements by the American Institute of Architects. Along with its architecture, the aquarium has won numerous awards for its exhibition of marine life, ocean conservation efforts, and educational programs.
Monterey Bay Aquarium receives around two million visitors each year. It led to the revitalization of Cannery Row, and produces hundreds of millions of dollars for the economy of Monterey County. In addition to being featured in two PBS Nature documentaries, the aquarium has appeared in film and television productions.
When Monterey Bay Aquarium opened on October 20, 1984, it was the largest public aquarium in the United States. On opening day, 11,000 visited it and around 30,000 people attended the day's festivities. In reference to the disappearance of sardines (through overfishing), which caused the canneries to close, the aquarium said that "the fish are back!" Throughout the following year, 2.4 million people visited, which influenced assumptions about "the ability of marine life to entertain, educate, and promote a city." Within five years, it was reported in the Los Angeles Times that it was among California's most popular visitor attractions. By 1994, it was the most attended aquarium in the United States. For its design, EHDD was awarded a National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects in 1988. The institute's state chapter in California gave the facility its Twenty-five Year Award in 2011 and, in 2016, it was awarded the national Twenty-five Year Award, described as "a benchmark and role model for aquariums everywhere."

This is a photograph from the 3rd running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 7th of October 2018 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. Participants are advised to use this long distance race as a preparation for the Dublin City Marathon and to pace themselves accordingly. This year was the third year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons several times per year. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshade, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The locally famous Blackshade bridge at 17 miles provided the largest climb of the day. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. The south Meath countryside around the course looked on a beautiful with some lovely quiet traditional 'Irish'-type roads to run on. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. As usual the weather is the only variable that cannot be controlled. Subsequently, the only negative from a runners' view was the very very strong headwind from the turn at 6 miles right through Killyon and Hill-of-Down. However, other parts of the course offered a strong tailwind and flat terrain.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race mostly taken on the Ashfield road at the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157674229321898

Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall that can be fully encircled, situated on the South Coast of Iceland with a drop of 60 metre. Seljalandsfoss waterfall, part of the river Seljalandsá, has its origins underneath the glacier Eyjafjallajökull.
The most distinguishing feature of Seljalandsfoss is a pathway that stretches around it. The cliffs behind the falls have a wide cavern, and rocks and paths allow guests to fully encircle it in summer.
This photo is taken from the deck of a Glacier Cruise vessel returning to Whittier, AK, in the afternoon. Alaska Railroad SD-70Ace 4321 leads 7 cars into town, probably bringing a new load of passengers from the Anchorage airport to ride the Sapphire Princess south to Vancouver or Seattle. The cars are all ultra domes and include an ARR car sporting an upper level outside covered porch, a McKinley Explorer ultra dome with a small lower level porch and 5 Princess Cruise Line ultra domes, four with lower porches of various configurations.
Coughton is a real treat for the church crawler; not only is it's fine medieval church situated next to the impressive facade of Coughton Court it is also has an attractive Victorian RC church as it's neighbour to the south (built for the Court's owners, the Throckmortons, who being Catholic needed another church!). Best of all both churches are kept open for visitors (and unlike the Court don't charge hefty entrances fees!).
St Peter's is easily one of the most rewarding churches in the area, a late medieval building with much of interest within. The monuments are not of the finest quality but worth seeing, but my favourite pieces here were the fragments of late medieval/early Renaissance stained glass in the traceries of the chancel windows, fine quality and obviously the work of Flemish glaziers, tantalising tiny glimpses of what we've lost. The east window has more substantial remains with three female figures in lavish costume, but all their heads look like Victorian replacements by Hardman's. There are earlier fragments in some nave windows and by contrast little Victorian glass (keeping the interior light), a dull Hardmans piece on the north side and a much finer Powells window sadly difficult to see in the tower.
There are substantial elements of late medieval woodwork in the chancel, fairly plain and easily missed, but the four figure carvings are worth seeking out.The large Throckmorton tomb beside the altar tempts one to step over the altar rails for a closer look, though this can be tricky as with a steady flow of visitors to the neighbouring Court one is rarely entirely alone in here!
Hekla is a stratovolcano in the South of Iceland
Height of 1,491 metres (4,892 ft). Hekla is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874.
During the Middle Ages, Europeans called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell".
Hekla is part of a volcanic ridge, 40 kilometres (25 mi) long. The most active part of this ridge, a fissure about 5.5 km (3.4 mi) long named Heklugjá, is considered to be the volcano Hekla proper. Hekla looks rather like an overturned boat, with its keel being a series of craters, two of which are generally the most active.
The volcano's frequent large eruptions have covered much of Iceland with tephra and these layers can be used to date eruptions of Iceland's other volcanos. 10% of the tephra created in Iceland in the last thousand years has come from Hekla, amounting to 5 km3. The volcano has produced one of the largest volumes of lava of any in the world in the last millennium, around 8 km3.

This is a photograph from the annual Navan Athletic Club 6KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held at Claremont Stadium, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Friday 8th May 2015 at 20:00. The race is organised as a memorial to former club members Simon Cumbers and Paddy Hyland. The weather defied its position in the calendar as a race in early May with dreary wet conditions for the race. However the conditions for running were actually reasonably good considering the weather of the previous 24 hours. The race starts about 1KM away from the Claremont Stadium with the finish on the tartan track.

This is a photograph from the finish of the 36th Michael Manning Memorial "Dunshaughlin 10KM" Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 20th June 2015 at 19:30. This race is widely acknowledged within the Irish running community as one of the best races in Ireland. While being very well attended and competitive it is also one of the oldest 10KM races in Ireland. The numbers for this race have exceeded expectations year on year for the past number of years. In 2008 a record field of 306 took to the start line but by 2012 this number had more than doubled with 647 runners taking part. The starting numbers in 2013 topped this again at 668. Last year, 2014, the numbers rocketed to a new record of 883. This year 862 finished the race showing that the race continues to attract very substantial crowds. This year, as in previous years, the race attracted runners from not just all of Leinster but from the four corners of Ireland. Who knows but this race could reach 1,000 entrants next year? The work of the organising committee must be commended on making this event possible. The Dunshaughlin 10KM has earned it's place at the top of the pedestal of Irish running through the sheer hard work of Dunshaughlin AC over the years. Road race events do not survive on their own. There must be dedication, hard work and a development vision amongst the committee and the host club. Well done to all.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race tonight taken at the 9KM mark and at 400M to go. The full set is available at: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157654823417232

Criccieth is a town and community on the Llyn peninsula in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd in Wales. The town lies 5 miles (8 km) west of Porthmadog, 9 miles (14 km) east of Pwllheli and 17 miles (27 km) south of Caernarfon.
The town is a seaside resort, popular with families. Attractions include the ruins of Criccieth Castle, which have extensive views over the town and surrounding countryside. Nearby on Ffordd Castell (Castle Way) is Cadwalader's Ice Cream Parlour, opened in 1927, whilst Stryd Fawr (High Street) has several bistro style restaurants. In the centre lies Y Maes ("The Field", or town square), part of the original medieval town common.
Easter is the apex of the Church's liturgical year and is the solemnity upon which the rest of the year revolves. It was on the first Easter Sunday that the Lord's disciples discovered the empty tomb, indicating that Christ had risen from the dead.
By His Resurrection Jesus Christ triumphed over death, paid the debt that came through the sin of Adam, and thus opened the gates of Heaven to mankind. Thus, the Lord's Resurrection on Easter thus marks the turning point in salvation history.
It is for this reason that Christians have great reason to rejoice in the new life brought to us by the Risen Savior. Salvation has come at last! For this reason, the Church resumes the use of the word "alleluia" which is said with even greater frequency and fervor for the rest of the fifty days of the Easter season, also known as 'Paschaltide.'
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is no mere historical event relegated to history but a living reality which Christians experience again and again each year. It is an ever ancient and ever new mystery that is re-presented each year. May all discover and receive the new life to be found in the Risen Savior.

It shows the area known as Rocketts, just below Richmond, at was the site of the Confederate Navy Yard during the war (foreground), with another construction yard across the James River. John Coski's Capital Navy reproduces part of the original image, with this cation:
A view of Rocketts from Libby Hill/ April 1865
The only Civil War-era photographs of the Confederate navy yards were taken -- by Mathew Brady or his assistant, or Levy & Cohen of Philadelphia -- after the Federal capture of the city. On the near (north) side of the James River is Rocketts. A few residences and businesses of the Rocketts neighborhood are visib1e in the left foreground. The Rocketts landing, with its permanent sheds or shelters, can be seen near the right edge of the photo. Visible in middle of the photo is the captured Confederate artillery shown on page xiii.
Across the river is the yard (usually called the "Yard opposite Rocketts") where the C.S.S. Virginia II was constructed. On the point of land to the left are ways used for constructing the wooden frame of vessels. The unfinished vessel on the ways was probably an unnamed ironclad warship designed by William A. Graves. On the beach directly across the river are additional ways where a smaller vessel (probably a torpedo boat) was under construction. Archaeologists have recently [1996] discovered the foundations of the substantial building near the right side of the photograph. To the right of that structure (just beyond the frame of the photograph) were buildings and tents which were probably used by the laborers at the southside yard.
The vessels in the river are Federal ships. The sunken ship visible at the far left of both photographs is probably the Confederate school ship Patrick Henry. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
This is a photograph from the 12th running of the Donadea 50KM and the National 50KM Championships held in Donadea Forest Park, Staplestown, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 11th February 2023 from 10:00 onwards. The 50K at Donadea is now firmly established as one of the most popular ultramarathon running distance races in Ireland. This year a field of well over 200 participants started the race.
The race is run on a 5KM looped trail of Donadea Forest Park which is a beautiful Coillte-managed forest amenity near the village of Staplestown. The race is promoted by Donadea Running Club and the timing and event management was delivered by Kildare-based company Popup Races. The Popup website www.popupraces.ie will have full results of the event available.

*This is Maddy.
Maddy is feral.
He lived on my patio after I trapped him and had him neutered about a year and a half ago.
The patio is gone.
A tragedy happened last September. My house was burned down and my life is forever changed.
I still take care of Maddy as much as he'll let me. We are survivors.
My house is still being rebuilt. The sink Maddy is laying in is one of 4 beautiful Talavera sinks going into my new house.
Maddy is so sweet and funny. This is the first time I've seen him bathe in the sink.*
The Limited Edition Celebration Merida 18'' Doll is posed side by side with the newly released Talking Merida 17'' Doll.
The Talking Merida Doll is a 17'' inch doll, with the same body and sound mechanism as the Disney Princess Singing dolls. She has articulation in her neck, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. Her feet are fixed in an angled position even though she wears flat shoes (that resemble leather boots). Because her head is flatter (shorter in height) than the other princess dolls, she is actually about 16.25'' tall, rather than the 16.5'' of the Singing Princess Dolls. Because of the LE doll's stand (whose base is 1/2 inch tall), she is apparently 1/2 inch taller than the Talking Merida, although they are actually the same height. She has the same bow as the LE 17'' Merida Doll, with only one arrow (rather than the three of the LE doll) and no quiver. She is wearing a larger version of the Adventure dress and cape that the Classic 12'' Merida wears. The dress is dark teal (blue-green) with gold ruffled trim on the long sleeves and collar. It is satin densely covered with tiny blue glitter, which does shed quite a bit. The cape is a black knit that is very stretchy (the same construction as the cape on the 12'' doll), and tends to stick to the dress. Her hair is the same color and style as the LE 17'' Merida (and 12'' Classic Merida), but is not quite as full or curly. She has the same head mold as the LE 17'' Merida, but her face has a pleasant slightly smiling expression, rather than the fierce determined look of the LE 17'' Merida or the bulging eyes and goofy smirk of the 12'' Classic. She is a very pretty doll, and well worth the price.

Worcester Cathedral is the commanding presence on the skyline of the city, perched on high ground overlooking the River Severn. It is one of England's most rewarding cathedrals, though denied first rank status owing to the heavy handed Victorian restorations it underwent, an unavoidable consequence of being built of soft red sandstone (a problem shared with Chester and Lichfield) and thus a 19th century feel pervades inside and out in it's mostly renewed external stonework and furnishings.
The cathedral impresses with it's scale, one or our longer churches, crowned by a magnificent central tower (originally surmounted by a lead spire, lost sometime after the Reformation; subtle alterations to the tower's design were made when it was refaced in the Victorian restoration) and with a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir (as at Salisbury, Lincoln, Rochester & Canterbury). Of the former monastic buildings the cloister and Norman chapter house have survived (along with the refectory, now part of neighbouring King's School), making this a more complex and enjoyable building to explore.
The earliest parts are of the Norman period with the superb 12th century crypt under the choir. The west end of the nave is also Norman work, though very late and unusual in design, with transitional pointed arches. However the bulk of the building we see dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, the east end in Early English Gothic style (where most of the windows were restored to stepped lancets by Sir George Gilbert Scott during the Victorian restoration, having been altered over the centuries), whilst the remainder of the nave and tower are largely of the Decorated period (the cathedral originally also possessed a detached octagonal bell tower with a lead spire, which stood near the north east corner but was demolished in 1647).
Of the original furnishings little remains beyond the fine set of misericords in the choir stalls. The stained glass too is nearly entirely Victorian (only some meagre, much restored medieval fragments survive in traceries of the south aisle). However, much of the Victorian glass is really quite impressive, particularly the great east and west windows by Hardman's.
Worcester is however especially rich in tombs and monuments of all periods, with medieval effigies of bishops, knights and ladies, not all in good condition but worth seeking out. There are also several large tombs from the post-Reformation period (especially in the cluttered south aisle) and some fine Baroque work in the north transept.
The most significant of the monuments here are Royal; in the centre of the choir lies the fine 13th century effigy of King John, best remembered for signing the Magna Carta (and my 21st great-grandfather I've recently discovered!). Nearby is the superb chantry chapel of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, whose premature death aged 15 changed England forever (one of the most pivotal moments in our history, had he survived, the Reformation may never have happened). The gorgeous late Perpendicular Gothic chapel stands to the south of the High Altar and is remarkable for it's rich sculpted detail.
Business is good for Britain... is Britain good for Business?
Lord Jones has served at the highest levels of both business and
government and in this event he shares his experience and (often
forthright) opinions about what British business needs to do to thrive in
an increasingly global economy.
Knowledgeable, authoritative and independent, Digby argues how untenable
the status quo is in the UK, and sets out how Britain can get back in – and
stay in – the globalised game.
In a long standing relationship with Lord Jones, Harvey Nash is delighted to
be championing The Power of Talent as a key competitive advantage for
UK businesses.
This is the White, Yellow, Pink, and Blue Fairy. When I first purchased her from the thrift store, she had blonde hair and was wearing a one-piece swimsuit. I dyed her hair blue using Liquidtex Phthalocyanine Blue acrylic paint mixed with water. I decided to keep the swimsuit but I fashioned a skirt out of felt and lace using suggestions from Tina Casey's book Fabulous Fashion Doll Clothing You Can Make. The accent on the skirt and fairy wings were made out of polymer clay.

This is a railway themed 'museum' at Ngongotaha, on the now-closed Rotorua Branch. The park consists of a miniature railway, model railway display and railway shop.
Unfortunately the park is currently at a very real risk of shutting down, mainly due to financial problems.
There is little to report here, except the observation that the stands on the Pakistan side are slowly filling as well. Notice the India (left) and Pakistan (right) flags fluttering along in the foreground. These will be later taken down and retired to their respective sides of the border while the border itself closes for the night. Apologies for the poor photo quality- this was due to a defective zoom lens, oil stains on the lens filter thanks to kid the previous night in Amritsar and the general late afternoon haze. (India-Pakistan border at Wagah, near Amritsar, India, Nov. 2017)
The Verkehrshaus is the most visited museum of Switzerland.
From the train station you catch the bus (N° 6 or 8) up to the station "Verkehrshaus". The bus drives every five to ten minutes. At the entrance you'll find an old VW beetle full of stickers.
At the museum you can see a lot of different means of transport (airplanes, trains, ships, and so on) and things about communication. Further you can walk on the Swiss map and with a lens you can accrete every point of Switzerland (Swissarena). Not to forget: the planetarium.
If you're tired of the museum, you can visit the IMAX right beside of the musem. You can also have a kombi ticket (museum + IMAX).
The museum offers a lot of things, so keep free enough time.

Chania is the second largest settlement on the island after Heraklion.
This area appears to have been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. It was built as a city in the Minoan period (3000–1900 BC) under the name Kudonija. According to ancient tradition, the city was founded by the mythical King Minos. Cydonia reemerged after the end of the Minoan period as an important city-state. The first major wave of settlers from mainland Greece was by the Dorians who came around 1100 BC. In Homer's Odyssey the inhabitants of Kydonia are mentioned twice.
After centuries of war between the Cretan cities, the island became a Roman province in 67 BC. Due to its pro-Roman stance, the city was granted the status of a free city. The Roman conquest of Crete marked the end of the civil wars and the beginning of a long period of peace and economic prosperity.
After the end of the Roman Empire and the division of the empire in 395, Chania was ruled by the Byzantine Empire (395–824) and then by the Emirate of Crete (824–961). During the second Byzantine period (961–1204), the city was known in Greek as Chania. To ward off further Arab invasion, the Byzantines heavily fortified the city, using materials from ancient buildings in the surrounding area.After the fall of Constantinople during the 1204 Fourth Crusade, Crete was sold to the Venetians In 1252, the Venetians managed to subdue the Cretans and Chania flourished as a commercial centre of a fertile agricultural region. Contact with Venice led to close intertwining of Cretan and Venetian cultures.
The city walls were reinforced at this time, but could notnot prevent an Ottoman army from capturing it from the Venetians after a two-month siege. Many Cretans fled to escape persecution while numerous Turkish Muslim settlers arrived changing the ethnic mix of the city.
The city remained under Ottoman control despite fighting during the Greek War of Independence and the Cretan Revolts in the 19th century until Crete moved towards independence that eventually led to Crete's union with Greece on 1 December 1913.
The Archaeological Museum of Chania is located in the suburb of Chalepa housed in a large modern building.

Kibworth Harcourt church is a handsome building whose tower stands proudly by the main road and has a medieval appearance aside from an apparent freshness to the stonework, which is explained by the fact that it is a rebuilding from 1832 following the fall of the original tower and spire some seven years earlier. The rest of the building however is genuine medieval work, mostly dating from the 14th century.
The interior is impressive and light despite a reasonable quantity of Victorian glass, the main east windows of the chancel and both nave aisles being large 5-light openings with many traceries. There are also curious small mouchette windows over the chancel arch, which peer down the nave like a pair of eyes. Below this is the wooden chancel screen, which I didn't pay much attention to believing it to be 19th century but according to Pevsner some parts may be genuine medieval work. The font at the west end is 14th century, apparently ejected from the church by a Puritan minister until restored to it in 1864 having braved a couple of centuries of weathering. The sedilia and piscinas are also fine examples of 14th century masonry.
The glass is mostly of Victorian date by several different firms, the best being the richly floral east window of the north aisle and a fine Kempe window at the west end of the south aisle. The most conspicuous contemporary feature is the mixed media / paper white figure sculpture of an angel suspended from the chancel arch, benignly gazing down upon all who pass below.
This church is normally kept locked outside of service times so it may be necessary to make an appointment to see inside unless visiting on Ride & Stride day in September like we did.

Brown pelicans, found on the western coast of the U.S., are the smallest type of pelican; the Peruvian pelican is often considered a subgroup of the brown pelican. Brown pelicans flock together to hunt and have a remarkable ability to spot fish from as high as 60 feet in the air. Females generally lay three eggs, but both adults share in the incubation responsibilities. The brown pelican's beak can hold up to two gallons of water, and this species can live for up to 40 years.

This is just some of the massive amounts of new residential construction currently taking place in the unincorporated community of Clarksburg, in the Northern part of Montgomery County, Maryland, USA. Clarksburg is a Northern, outer ring suburb of Washington, DC that is currently enjoying massive amounts of population growth and real estate development. in the 2000 census, the Clarksburg unincorporated area had a population of only about 1,800 people. By the 2010 census, Clarksburg had a population of 13,766 people, an increase of over six times the population in just 10 years, and probably has significantly more people by now, nearly three years after the 2010 census was conducted on April 1st of 2010, probably about 15,000 to 20,000 people by now, judging by the fast pace of residential development since then. This is easily on track toward the projected population of 40,000 people in Clarksburg in the year 2030, when the area is expected to be completely built out. Clarksburg is currently an affluent, family oriented community with a young and very diverse population. Montgomery County, Maryland is located just North of Washington, DC, is the most populated of the 24 counties in the U.S. state of Maryland, currently has a diverse population of about 990,000 people, and is growing relatively fast in population. Montgomery County, Maryland is the second most populated county in the vast Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, behind neighboring Fairfax County, Virginia, which is in turn also the most populated county in the U.S. state of Virginia, with an also diverse current population of about 1.1 million people, and growing in population at about the same relatively fast rate as Montgomery County, Maryland. This photo was taken on Yesterday, January 20, 2013.
