Thought I'd just update my Flickr Friends on the last of the Greylag Goslings hatched in February. This last one is now at that gangly, teenage stage. Not quite so cute, but still gorgeous!

Alternative for Germany (AFD) is a far-right to right-wing extremist party in Germany.
The AfD is increasingly open to working with far-right groups like Pegida.
Parts of the AfD are racist, anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, xenophobic and homophobic, associated with far-right movements such as neo-Nazism.
The AFD of Lower Saxony has its state party convention in Oldenburg (Oct. 27 and 28, 2018).
Oldenburg shows that there is NO PLACE for the AFD in Oldenburg!

Lonely tree precariously perched on the rim of the Grand Canyon. I like how this photo came out but I still am disappointed in the black and white conversion. I also had trouble making the tree pop from the background. I do like how the clouds were in the background. The reason I did this in black and white is because it just wasn't punchy enough in colour. I'm still going through my vacation photos from the summer to see what I can do with them now that I have Aperture.

Taken at the Manitoba Stampede in Morris MB. I couldn't help but think of the gunfight at the OK Corral when I saw professional action photographer Rick Hiebert standing inside the stampede arena. Rick's precision to each shot is evident as he moves strategically yet gracefully among the action of each event.
And while I was using Canon it became painfully evident that for this event size mattered and clearly Nikon won the day......:-)))
Waiting for a coal train that only passes by but no longer stops, the five cooling towers of Willington Power Station stand sentinel when all other remains of this once busy and vibrant complex have long been razed to the ground.
The 300' high cooling towers, which dominate the skyline for miles around, may yet see future use - planning consent was granted to build a new 2400MW power generating facility, three times the power of the original complex. Whether it will be built or even feature these towers is another matter, and meantime a pair of peregrine falcons are said to have taken up residency.
Not a shot for the purists........

Imperial Elegy
Not one corner of a foreign field
But a span as wide as Europe;
An appearance of a titan's grave,
And the length thereof a thousand miles,
It crossed all Europe like a mystic road,
Or as the Spirits' Pathway lieth on the night.
And I heard a voice crying
This is the Path of Glory

Hunters G742 TBD, a Leyland Olympian , an ex-Isle of Man vehicle, previously in use with Geoff Amos. I believe this is the last of the ex Isle of Man Olympians now in service, as G729TBD, and G801 TBD seem to have been taken off the road.
It is seen here along Royal Oak Way, returning to the Daventry depot after finishing it`s days school work.

Castlerigg Standing Stones Circle including one of my student photographers Matt. Just so happened that he had a top to go with the place.
Have a go at viewing in glorious cinematic technicolor.
Even better Large and Dark.
Thanks to everyone for helping this one make it to explore - I'm so chuffed!
I was lucky enough to attend an event in the former rotating restaurant at the top of the Post Office Tower BT Tower last night - given the murky evening it was not an ideal night for any long shots into the distance for panoramic views of London (also the glass was super-reflective) but with the help of Dominic's tripod (the official photographer at the event) I got a few good shots looking down to the streets below...
.. and behold - Middlesex Hospital chapel looking rather forlorn in the middle of the vaste site that was previously the hospital.
The first part of Middlesex Hospital was in Windmill Street in Soho and opened in 1745 - the site here was the second location and was built between 1755 and 1757. At the time the residents of London complained that the location was too far out of the city and that you had to cross the Soho fields to get to it. Seeing the extent of London now it's hard to imagine how this must have looked.
The hospital was extended over the years and numerous buildings were added - in 1929 a large area of the original hospital was demolished as it was in danger of collapse and was replaced with the a large seven-story 'H block' which opened in 1935 and was a familiar landmark known to all visitors.
Alongside this were a number of other buildings - notable here are the row along Nassau Street and 10 Mortimer Street. I mention these as the front walls of the buildings on Nassau Street remain and can be seen on the right of the site... 10 Mortimer Street is in the top right corner of the wasteland and is Grade II listed. Built in 1898 in red brick and Portland stone it started out as offices for an iron founders but was soon incorporated into the hospital. Interesting that the style of 10 Mortimer Street is "Art and Craft" which is the same as used by Ebenezer Howard, founder of Letchworth Garden City, my home town, as seen elsewhere in my photostream.
The chapel was started in 1891 and is rather different as the interior vaults were built in the Italian Gothic Style and are all marble and mosaic - quite stunning. The original architect was John Pearson although the building wasn't actually finished until 1929 when the demolition of much of the old buildings allowed the East window to be completed - the architect for this was one Frank Pearson, his son. John Pearson was one of the foremost Victorian church architects and if you're of a mind you can pay homage to him in Westminster abbey, which I think gives an indication of the esteem in which he was held.
The mosaics in the chapel are by Maurice Josey who's work can be seen across the country, most notably in St Pauls cathedral, Westminster Abbey and The Church of the Sacred Heart in Droitwich which is absolutely stunning Regardless of whether you're into the style I can recommend a visit if you're in the area just to marvel at the work.
The hospital closed in December 2005 and services moved to the University College London Hospital on the Euston Road - from all accounts by this stage the buildings were unable to support modern hospital requirements although the staff appear to have enjoyed the surroundings.
In order to pay for the new hospital the site here was sold for development (but not before being used as a location for a film "Eastern Promises" where it appeared as Trafalgar Hospital). The sale for £200M (thought to be some £25M over value and even £175M was way more than expected due to the rising cost of property - good news for UCL hospital though) completed in June 2006 and the site was cleared, save for the chapel and 10 Mortimer Street, and there it all starts to go horribly wrong.
The developers were (you can tell where we're headed can't you - were) the Candy brothers, Christian and Nick who planned a £1bn development called NoHo Square. Now this would be fine if London had a Houston Street and you could have South and North of Houston.. but the history of Soho has nothing to do with South of anything so NoHo is completely meaningless.
I'll spare you the details of the innovative/thrusting/blue-glass residential/retail plans - this article in Property Week is fairly descriptive and contains much knob-waving by Candy and Candy over how spanky their plans were going to be.
Roll forward to late 2008 and Famine's Hand doth Stalk the Developer's Land in the shape of Robert Peston the Credit Crunch. The upshot of this was that the Candy brothers pulled out and 'swapped' developments with one in Beverley Hills - the fact that an informal valuation of the site puts it now at £120m may have something to do with this.
So now we have an empty site owned by the Icelandic bank Kaupthing (yes - that one which was nationalised) and in the current climate little chance of movement for some time. I can only hope that the chapel survives it's lonely existence in the middle of this barren landscape.
Who knows what may happen to architectural trends between now and when work re-starts... green glass instead of blue?! The shot here reflects the multitude of styles in the area and hopefully this can be reflected in the plans. I always like the way streets appear when viewed from above at night - the tones are lovely and the way the light shines up buildings at night, reflected from the street, as opposed to down is most pleasing...
.. enjoy
P.S I couldn't help think of the song Nightporter by the popular 80's beat combo "Japan" - those of synth and haircut fame. No porters in this hospital anymore...
Could I ever explain this feeling of love?
It just lingers on
The fear in my heart that keeps telling me
Which way to turn
We'll wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide
The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside
Here am I alone again
A quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away
I'll watch for a sign
And if I should ever again cross your mind
I'll sit my room and wait until nightlife begins
And catching my breath, we'll both brave the weather again
Here am I alone again
The quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering
Nightporters go
Nightporters slip away
