'Tis his season to be jolly, tho his jollies may not be the same as yours.
If he comes to your door on Halloween just throw a bunch of marshmallows at him.
He LOVES toasted marshmallows.
Happy Shocktober
British fully rigged steel sailing ship 'SV Lord Lonsdale' was built 1889. It had 3 masts, a tonnage of 1756 grt and was (or is) 69.1 x 12 x 7.1 m tall. Lonsdale caught fire on 6.10.1909 being on voyage from Hamburg for Mazatlan (West Coast Mexico) in Port Stanley Harbour (Falkland Islands) and was beached to extinguish the fire. It had been loaded with coal. It had been hulked after the fire and then beached again in 1940/1942 as a wreck south of Punta Arenas.
The Lord Line building opened in 1949 and was at the heart of Hull’s fishing industry. Sadly up to the 1980’s, 6000 fishermen lost their lives at the hands of the sea. The Lord Line building began winding down in 1975 when the dock closed and became completely derelict in 1990. Several fires have damaged parts of the building since 2010.
Lord Burghley’s Hospital consists of a historic set of almshouses situated beside the River Welland in the Stamford Baron area across the river from Stamford’s town centre and close to Stamford Bridge. The almshouses have a frontage on to Station Road. The almshouses are known as “Lord Burghley’s Hospital” or “Burghley Almshouse”. Today the almshouse is still in use and is home to both men and women who have lived and worked in Stamford for a number of years.

A Christmas family scene window display at Lord & Taylor!! I had promised you to post L&T's window displays and realized that this years theme at L&T is the same as last years. I guess they change the theme every two years or so. Lord & Taylor after displaying and season is over, they donate every to a charity to be auctioned. I think this is a very noble concept!! Don't you!!
To see more of my shots of the window displays you can browse my 2008 set at:

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!
This 'Saxon lord' was a living example of Saxon life at the Butser Ancient Farm, where they have recreated structures from various periods. Such a lovely place to visit.
Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble and dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will rot and their flowers wither. For they have rejected the law of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies; they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 5:24

The Lord Howe Island Group is an outstanding example of oceanic islands of volcanic origin containing a unique biota of plants and animals, as well as the world’s most southerly true coral reef. It is an area of spectacular and scenic landscapes encapsulated within a small land area, and provides important breeding grounds for colonies of seabirds as well as significant natural habitat for the conservation of threatened species. Iconic species include endemics such as the flightless Lord Howe Woodhen (Gallirallis sylvestris), once regarded as one of the rarest birds in the world, and the Lord Howe Island Phasmid (Dryococelus australis), the world’s largest stick insect that was feared extinct until its rediscovery on Balls Pyramid.
Another from that perfect day on Lord Howe Island.

The statue which faces the Menai Strait here may look like a product of the British euphoria and mourning after Lord Nelson met his heroic death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. However, the statue was erected much later, in 1873, by an artist experimenting with concrete. It was also a useful landmark for mariners.
Art lover and sculptor Lord Clarence Paget, a former Lord of the Admiralty, lived at Plas Llanfair, up the slope behind the statue. He had used concrete to make statues for his grounds and noticed they were more durable than marble in this exposed area. He found that concrete was much cheaper than marble, bronze or stone and could be manipulated easily.
Sir Llewelyn Turner, a former Caernarfon mayor, recalled in 1903 that a concrete statue of Neptune, Roman god of the sea, was originally planned but he told Lord Clarence: “What has Neptune done for us? Nelson is the proper subject.”
The Admiralty happened to be surveying the Menai Strait at the time, and Lord Clarence accepted its suggestion that, with only a small alteration to the statue’s planned location, the artwork would serve as a navigation aid for mariners travelling in either direction along this difficult stretch of water.
Portland cement and iron for the internal framework were donated by suppliers. At the unveiling ceremony in September 1873, Lord Clarence acknowledged the help he’d received in creating the statue from a “faithful and patient Welshman named John Jones”.
The Admiralty had already marked the statue on its newest chart by the time of the ceremony.
Lord Nelson became a British celebrity after leading the Royal Navy’s defeat of the French at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Shortly before his final battle against the French at Trafalgar, he used coloured flags on his ship HMS Victory to send a message to the whole fleet: “England expects that every man will do his duty.” The same words are inscribed on the base of the statue, facing the Strait.
Due to the new Pawtucket Station construction project Providence and Worcester PR3 made a rare trip down the Amtrak Shore Line down to Groton on Thursday and Friday. Here we see Friday's PR-3 heading east by Lord's Point in Stonington, CT.
BR Large Logo 37409 'Lord Hinton' drags Greater Anglia DVT 82103 and 9 MK3s past Bannold Road (Waterbeach) with the 5Z37 0614 Norwich C.Pt. T.&R.S.M.D to Bounds Green T&R.S.M.D tyre turning move. This service normally runs along the GEML, however, because the GEML was blocked between Norwich and Ipswich (due to engineering works), the drag had to be diverted via Ely, Cambridge and the ECML.
Imagine a tiny outcrop in the Pacific Ocean, covered in lush greenery, surrounded by aquamarine waters home to an untouched coral reef teeming with marine life, where only 400 visitors are allowed at any one time. It’s little wonder National Geographic named Lord Howe Island one of the world’s best destinations, and it's only one hour's flying time from where I live.

Lord Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, revered as the "Destroyer" in the holy trinity, or Trimurti, which also includes Brahma (the Creator) and Vishnu (the Preserver). Shiva is a complex and multifaceted god, embodying both ascetic and householder aspects. He is often depicted with a third eye, a crescent moon on his head, and a snake wrapped around his neck. His primary consort is Parvati, and together they have two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya.
Some key aspects of Lord Shiva include:
The Destroyer and Transformer: While he is known as the destroyer, his role is to remove the old and make way for transformation and new creation.
Meditation and Asceticism: Shiva is often shown in deep meditation, symbolizing detachment and spiritual wisdom.
Lord of Dance (Nataraja): One of the most famous representations of Shiva is as Nataraja, the cosmic dancer, who is believed to represent the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction.
Symbols:
Trident (Trishul): Represents the three forces of creation, preservation, and destruction.
Damaru (Drum): Symbolizes the cosmic sound and rhythm of the universe.
Ganga: The river goddess Ganga, which flows from his matted hair, signifies purity and divine flow.
Blue Throat: This is due to the legend where Shiva drank the poison during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) to protect the world.
The federal government's response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster stands as a testament to Our Leader's ability to pick the right people for the vitally important job of blaming Democrats for the Administration's failures.
