I am saddened today to learn this morning about the sudden loss of a friend and colleague. We had just had a group dinner last weekend and everyone was seemingly happy and healthy. I had met this person from a previous job and as luck would have it, we ended up together at the same company again. I had known him for probably a good 9 years now. He'd say to me that he lives vicariously through me and my weekend adventures. I'd share with him my weekend outings to the middle of nowhere especially during my grain elevator escapades. Here's one last adventure bud:

This weekend I ended up doing the Grotto Canyon ice walk since I failed miserably at the Maligne Canyon one 2 weeks back. You can get down to the frozen river in Grotto Canyon in the Winter and walk on the beautiful blue ice to a frozen waterfall. Along the way, not far from the falls are these ancient paintings on stone right above the frozen river.

RIP.

It just came to mind that back when I was touring my grain elevators, he told me about the one in Stettler and that there's a working steam train that I can take there. I never got the chance to do this yet, but I'm thinking that I'm going to make that happen someday.

This was a unexpected effect. I'm still not used to the sounds my camera makes. I often move a bit too early and motion blur is then present, but every now and again there are some pleasant frames. It was taken on my way to home on a not very well lit cross road where the light from the headlights contrasts nicely.

Today's rapidly changing world faces multiple and overlapping challenges, from conflict to climate change to the lasting economic and social impacts of the Covid pandemic. Such challenges not only threaten livelihoods and curtail equal access to economic opportunity for many, but they also put at risk the gains made in the empowerment of women and girls over the past decades.

In order to tackle these challenges, we need to harness innovation, ingenuity and initiative from all parts of society – including the young and old, women, those in remote regions and urban centres, and all others who may face barriers to fully realising their potential. It is this combined human capital and talent that helps create effective approaches and solutions to overcome current crises. We can already see examples, such as young entrepreneurs inventing green solutions to tackle climate change, female scientists who developed one of the first COVID vaccines, and policymakers who deploy digitalization technologies for more inclusive infrastructure and urban spaces.

This event brought together inspirational speakers from a diversity of backgrounds to discuss responses to global challenges. They explored the role of policymakers and the private sector, highlighted case studies and discuss innovative policy approaches to promote equality, which is needed now more than ever.

A lasting legacy from the Herriot of Helmand

Captain Miles Malone is the British Forces’ only vet in Afghanistan. Dubbed “The Herriot of Helmand,” he has become a minor sensation in the province after starting a raft of veterinary clinics for local farmers.

His principal job is caring for the dogs that sniff for roadside bombs and provide protection to the troops on duty. Keeping them at their peak is important, as the work they do here saves lives.

However, in the seven months that he has been in Helmand, the 28 year old from Mount Bures, near Sudbury, in Suffolk, has begun a series of monthly clinics for the remote farming communities around the main British base, Camp Bastion, and they have proved wildly popular.

With only a few weeks to go before his tour of duty in Helmand comes to an end he packed his kit and prepared a selection of drugs for another clinic.

In two hardened cool boxes he can carry enough equipment to treat up to two thousand animals. While he has been running regular clinics, this one was different.

It took an RAF Chinook to fly him out to a small, newly constructed, patrol base established after the largest helicopter assault codenamed Operation Moshtarak pushed the Taliban out of Nad Ali.

After landing at Patrol Base Shaheed which was set up by soldiers of B Company, the 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh, he was straight out on a patrol to spread the word. Out here the range of animals are a little different but, to the farmers, they are their lifeblood.

“These animals are basically their back accounts. Some of these goats are worth $70 each. A lot of people round here are surviving on about a dollar a day so economically they are extremely important,” said Captain Miles Malone.

Over this tour the clinics have had a noticeable effect, not only on the health of the herds, but in loosening the grip of the Taliban over the people also. Captain Malone has treated over 8,000 animals, and this clinic at Shaheed has added a further 61 farmers to his program.

In contrast to the gentle adventures of James Herriot in North Yorkshire, Captain Malone’s work is at the other end of the spectrum, undertaken with the protection of well-armed Afghan and British soldiers.

“There is very little understanding among the local farmers of veterinary care or basic animal husbandry. So I split my time when I run clinics between treating the flocks and educating the farmers. The Taliban just cannot compete,” said Captain Miles Malone.

“The village that we are living in is largely an agricultural community. Having the opportunity for a vet to come down and deliver medication, treatment and also advice to the local farmers has been a real win. In part because it displays our intent to stay here and that our actions are in support of the community. But it also adds back to the economy here because it increases the value of the livestock and educates the farmers, so it is a win on both fronts,” said Major Ed Hill, officer commanding B Company 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh at Patrol Base Shaheed.

But what of the future and sustaining this work? Captain Malone’s replacement has just arrived and following on from his success a second military vet has been sent out to concentrate on expanding the clinics.

While the military may have started the ball rolling, they need the Afghans to take over and run it for themselves. This is where non-government organisations like the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad are helping. They are working to train Afghan veterinary technicians who can continue the work long after the British troops have gone home.

SN/NC: Jacaranda mimosifolia, Bignoniaceae Family

Jacaranda is a sub-tropical tree native to south-central South America that has been widely planted elsewhere because of its attractive and long-lasting violet-colored flowers. It is also known as the jacaranda, blue jacaranda, black poui, Nupur or fern tree. Older sources call it J. acutifolia, but it is nowadays more usually classified as J. mimosifolia. In scientific usage, the name "jacaranda" refers to the genus Jacaranda, which has many other members, but in horticultural and everyday usage, it nearly always means the blue jacaranda. In its native range in the wild, J. mimosifolia is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN.

Native of Brazil, it has its name inherited from the native tribe Tupi-Guarani and in Botanic is the only tree that keeps the same name in more than 200 countries across the world.

Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa, is popularly known as Jacaranda City because of the large number of trees, which turn the city blue and purple when they flower in spring. The jacaranda trees, far from their native Brazil, bloom every October.

The city of Grafton on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, is famous for its jacarandas. Each year in late October and early November, the city has a jacaranda festival.[

In the United States, the jacaranda is grown extensively in California, the Southwest, southeast Texas and Florida and even in Hawaii. It is such a beautiful tree and used as ornamental tree in many cities across the universe. The color captivates and it has also a nice smell attracting bees and butterflies. The wood is noble and a reason for a tirelessly hunt of this precious tree.

Jacarandá é uma árvore subtropical nativa do centro-sul da América do Sul que tem sido amplamente plantada em outros lugares por causa de suas flores atraentes e duradouras de cor violeta. Também é conhecido como jacarandá, jacarandá azul, poui preto, Nupur ou samambaia. Fontes mais antigas chamam-na de J. acutifolia, mas hoje em dia é mais comumente classificada como J. mimosifolia. No uso científico, o nome "jacarandá" refere-se ao gênero Jacaranda, que possui muitos outros membros, mas no uso hortícola e cotidiano quase sempre significa o jacarandá azul. Em sua área de distribuição nativa na natureza, J. mimosifolia está listada como Vulnerável pela IUCN.

Nativa do Brasil, tem nome herdado da tribo nativa Tupi-Guarani e na botânica é a única árvore que mantém o mesmo nome em mais de 200 países ao redor do mundo.

Pretória, capital administrativa da África do Sul, é popularmente conhecida como Cidade Jacarandá devido ao grande número de árvores, que tornam a cidade azul e roxa quando florescem na primavera. Os jacarandás, longe de seu Brasil natal, florescem todo mês de outubro.

A cidade de Grafton, na costa norte de Nova Gales do Sul, na Austrália, é famosa por seus jacarandás. Todos os anos, no final de outubro e início de novembro, a cidade realiza um festival de jacarandá.[

Nos Estados Unidos, o jacarandá é cultivado extensivamente na Califórnia, no sudoeste, no sudeste do Texas e na Flórida e até no Havaí. É uma árvore tão bonita e usada como árvore ornamental em muitas cidades do universo. A cor cativa e tem também um cheiro agradável atraindo abelhas e borboletas. A madeira é nobre e motivo de uma caça incansável a esta preciosa árvore.

La jacarandá es un árbol subtropical originario del centro-sur de América del Sur que se ha plantado ampliamente en otros lugares debido a sus atractivas y duraderas flores de color violeta.

La ciudad de Grafton en la costa norte de Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia, es famosa por sus jacarandas. Cada año, a finales de octubre y principios de noviembre, la ciudad celebra un festival de jacarandá.

En Estados Unidos, la jacarandá se cultiva extensamente en California, el suroeste, el sureste de Texas y Florida e incluso en Hawaii. Es un árbol muy hermoso y se utiliza como árbol ornamental en muchas ciudades de todo el universo. El color cautiva y también tiene un olor agradable que atrae a las abejas y mariposas. La madera es noble y motivo de una caza incansable de este precioso árbol.

Jacaranda is een subtropische boom afkomstig uit zuid-centraal Zuid-Amerika en die elders op grote schaal is aangeplant vanwege zijn aantrekkelijke en langdurige violetkleurige bloemen. Het is ook bekend als de jacaranda, blauwe jacaranda, zwarte poui, Nupur of varenboom. Oudere bronnen noemen het J. acutifolia, maar tegenwoordig wordt het vaker geclassificeerd als J. mimosifolia. In wetenschappelijk gebruik verwijst de naam "jacaranda" naar het geslacht Jacaranda, dat nog veel meer leden kent, maar in de tuinbouw en in het dagelijks gebruik betekent het bijna altijd de blauwe jacaranda. In zijn oorspronkelijke verspreidingsgebied in het wild wordt J. mimosifolia door de IUCN als kwetsbaar beschouwd.

De boom komt oorspronkelijk uit Brazilië en heeft zijn naam geërfd van de inheemse stam Tupi-Guarani. In Botanic is het de enige boom die dezelfde naam draagt ​​in meer dan 200 landen over de hele wereld.

Pretoria, de administratieve hoofdstad van Zuid-Afrika, staat in de volksmond bekend als Jacaranda City vanwege het grote aantal bomen, die de stad blauw en paars kleuren als ze bloeien in de lente. De jacarandabomen, ver van hun geboorteland Brazilië, bloeien elk jaar in oktober.

De stad Grafton aan de noordkust van New South Wales, Australië, is beroemd om zijn jacaranda's. Elk jaar eind oktober en begin november heeft de stad een jacarandafestival.

In de Verenigde Staten wordt de jacaranda op grote schaal verbouwd in Californië, het zuidwesten, zuidoosten van Texas en Florida en zelfs op Hawaï. Het is zo’n prachtige boom en wordt in veel steden in het universum als sierboom gebruikt. De kleur fascineert en het heeft ook een aangename geur die bijen en vlinders aantrekt. Het hout is nobel en een reden voor een onvermoeibare jacht op deze kostbare boom.

Le jacaranda est un arbre subtropical originaire du centre-sud de l'Amérique du Sud qui a été largement planté ailleurs en raison de ses fleurs violettes attrayantes et durables. Il est également connu sous le nom de jacaranda, jacaranda bleu, poui noir, Nupur ou fougère. Des sources plus anciennes l'appellent J. acutifolia, mais elle est aujourd'hui plus généralement classée comme J. mimosifolia. Dans l'usage scientifique, le nom « jacaranda » fait référence au genre Jacaranda, qui compte de nombreux autres membres, mais dans l'usage horticole et quotidien, il signifie presque toujours le jacaranda bleu. Dans son aire de répartition naturelle à l'état sauvage, J. mimosifolia est classée vulnérable par l'UICN.

Originaire du Brésil, son nom est hérité de la tribu indigène Tupi-Guarani et, en botanique, c'est le seul arbre qui conserve le même nom dans plus de 200 pays à travers le monde.

Pretoria, la capitale administrative de l'Afrique du Sud, est communément connue sous le nom de Jacaranda City en raison du grand nombre d'arbres qui colorent la ville en bleu et violet lorsqu'ils fleurissent au printemps. Les jacarandas, loin de leur Brésil natal, fleurissent chaque octobre.

La ville de Grafton, sur la côte nord de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, en Australie, est célèbre pour ses jacarandas. Chaque année, fin octobre et début novembre, la ville organise un festival des jacarandas.

Aux États-Unis, le jacaranda est largement cultivé en Californie, dans le sud-ouest, le sud-est du Texas, en Floride et même à Hawaï. C’est un très bel arbre et utilisé comme arbre ornemental dans de nombreuses villes à travers l’univers. La couleur captive et elle a aussi une odeur agréable qui attire les abeilles et les papillons. Le bois est noble et incite à chasser inlassablement cet arbre précieux.

Jacaranda ist ein subtropischer Baum aus Süd- und Zentralsüdamerika, der aufgrund seiner attraktiven und langlebigen violetten Blüten auch anderswo häufig gepflanzt wird. Er ist auch als Jacaranda, blauer Jacaranda, schwarzer Poui, Nupur oder Farnbaum bekannt. Ältere Quellen nennen es J. acutifolia, heutzutage wird es jedoch häufiger als J. mimosifolia klassifiziert. Im wissenschaftlichen Sprachgebrauch bezieht sich der Name „Jacaranda“ auf die Gattung Jacaranda, die viele weitere Mitglieder hat, im gärtnerischen und alltäglichen Gebrauch ist damit jedoch fast immer der blaue Jacaranda gemeint. In seinem natürlichen Verbreitungsgebiet wird J. mimosifolia von der IUCN als gefährdet eingestuft.

Der in Brasilien beheimatete Baum hat seinen Namen vom einheimischen Stamm Tupi-Guarani geerbt und ist botanisch gesehen der einzige Baum, der in mehr als 200 Ländern auf der ganzen Welt denselben Namen trägt.

Pretoria, die Verwaltungshauptstadt Südafrikas, ist im Volksmund als Jacaranda City bekannt, da es hier eine große Anzahl an Bäumen gibt, die die Stadt bei ihrer Blüte im Frühling blau und lila färben. Die Jacarandabäume, weit entfernt von ihrer Heimat Brasilien, blühen jedes Jahr im Oktober.

Die Stadt Grafton an der Nordküste von New South Wales, Australien, ist berühmt für ihre Jacarandas. Jedes Jahr Ende Oktober und Anfang November findet in der Stadt ein Jacaranda-Fest statt.[

In den Vereinigten Staaten wird Jacaranda in großem Umfang in Kalifornien, im Südwesten, im Südosten von Texas und Florida und sogar auf Hawaii angebaut. Es ist ein wunderschöner Baum und wird in vielen Städten im ganzen Universum als Zierbaum verwendet. Die Farbe ist faszinierend und der Duft lockt Bienen und Schmetterlinge an. Das Holz ist edel und ein Grund für eine unermüdliche Jagd nach diesem kostbaren Baum.

La Jacaranda è un albero subtropicale originario dell'America centro-meridionale che è stato ampiamente piantato altrove a causa dei suoi fiori viola attraenti e durevoli. È anche conosciuto come jacaranda, jacaranda blu, poui nero, Nupur o albero di felce. Fonti più antiche la chiamano J. acutifolia, ma oggigiorno è più comunemente classificata come J. mimosifolia. Nell'uso scientifico, il nome "jacaranda" si riferisce al genere Jacaranda, che comprende molti altri membri, ma nell'uso orticolo e quotidiano significa quasi sempre la jacaranda blu. Nel suo areale nativo in natura, J. mimosifolia è elencata come vulnerabile dalla IUCN.

Originario del Brasile, prende il nome ereditato dalla tribù nativa Tupi-Guarani e in botanica è l'unico albero che mantiene lo stesso nome in più di 200 paesi nel mondo.

Pretoria, la capitale amministrativa del Sud Africa, è popolarmente conosciuta come Jacaranda City per via del gran numero di alberi, che colorano la città di blu e viola quando fioriscono in primavera. Gli alberi di jacaranda, lontani dal loro nativo Brasile, fioriscono ogni ottobre.

La città di Grafton, sulla costa settentrionale del Nuovo Galles del Sud, in Australia, è famosa per le sue jacaranda. Ogni anno tra la fine di ottobre e l'inizio di novembre, la città organizza un festival della jacaranda.[

Negli Stati Uniti, la jacaranda è ampiamente coltivata in California, nel sud-ovest, nel sud-est del Texas, in Florida e persino alle Hawaii. È un albero così bello ed è usato come albero ornamentale in molte città dell'universo. Il colore affascina e ha anche un buon odore che attira api e farfalle.

الجاكراندا هي شجرة شبه استوائية موطنها جنوب وسط أمريكا الجنوبية وقد تم زراعتها على نطاق واسع في أماكن أخرى بسبب أزهارها الجذابة ذات اللون البنفسجي التي تدوم طويلاً. تُعرف أيضًا باسم شجرة الجاكاراندا أو الجاكاراندا الزرقاء أو البوي الأسود أو النوبور أو شجرة السرخس. تسميها المصادر القديمة J. acutifolia، ولكن يتم تصنيفها في الوقت الحاضر على أنها J. mimosifolia. في الاستخدام العلمي، يشير اسم "الجاكراندا" إلى جنس الجاكاراندا، الذي يضم العديد من الأعضاء الآخرين، ولكن في الاستخدام البستاني واليومي، فهو يعني دائمًا الجاكراندا الزرقاء. في موطنها الأصلي في البرية، تم إدراج J. mimosifolia ضمن الأنواع المعرضة للخطر من قبل الاتحاد الدولي لحفظ الطبيعة.

موطنها الأصلي البرازيل، وقد ورثت اسمها من قبيلة توبي غواراني الأصلية، وهي الشجرة الوحيدة التي تحتفظ بنفس الاسم في أكثر من 200 دولة حول العالم.

بريتوريا هي العاصمة الإدارية لجنوب أفريقيا، وتعرف شعبياً باسم مدينة جاكاراندا بسبب كثرة الأشجار التي تحول المدينة إلى اللون الأزرق والبنفسجي عندما تزهر في فصل الربيع. تزهر أشجار الجاكراندا، بعيدًا عن موطنها الأصلي البرازيل، في شهر أكتوبر من كل عام.

تشتهر مدينة جرافتون الواقعة على الساحل الشمالي لولاية نيو ساوث ويلز بأستراليا بأشجار الجاكراندا. في أواخر أكتوبر وأوائل نوفمبر من كل عام، تقام في المدينة مهرجان الجاكراندا.[

في الولايات المتحدة، تتم زراعة الجاكراندا على نطاق واسع في كاليفورنيا والجنوب الغربي وجنوب شرق تكساس وفلوريدا وحتى في هاواي. إنها شجرة جميلة وتستخدم كشجرة زينة في العديد من المدن في جميع أنحاء الكون. لونه آسر وله أيضًا رائحة لطيفة تجذب النحل والفراشات. الخشب نبيل وسبب للبحث بلا كلل عن هذه الشجرة الثمينة.

ジャカランダは、南アメリカ中南部原産の亜熱帯の木で、その魅力的で長持ちする紫色の花のため、他の場所でも広く植栽されています。ジャカランダ、ブルー ジャカランダ、ブラック ポイ、ヌプール、またはシダの木としても知られています。古い情報源では J. acutifolia と呼ばれていますが、現在では一般的に J. mimosifolia として分類されています。科学的に使用される場合、「ジャカランダ」という名前は、他にも多くの仲間がいるジャカランダ属を指しますが、園芸や日常的に使用される場合は、ほぼ常に青いジャカランダを意味します。野生の自生範囲では、J. mimosifolia は IUCN によって絶滅危惧Ⅱ類に指定されています。

ブラジル原産のこの木は、原住民の部族トゥピ・グアラニ族からその名前を受け継いでおり、植物園では、世界 200 か国以上で同じ名前を保っている唯一の木です。

南アフリカの行政首都であるプレトリアは、春に花が咲くと街を青や紫に染める木々がたくさんあるため、ジャカランダ シティとして広く知られています。ジャカランダの木は原産地のブラジルから遠く離れており、毎年 10 月に開花します。

オーストラリア、ニューサウスウェールズ州の北海岸にあるグラフトン市は、ジャカランダで有名です。毎年 10 月下旬と 11 月上旬に、市ではジャカランダ フェスティバルが開催されます。[

米国では、ジャカランダはカリフォルニア、南西部、テキサス南東部、フロリダ、さらにはハワイでも広く栽培されています。それはとても美しい木であり、宇宙の多くの都市で装飾用の木として使用されています。色は魅惑的で、蜂や蝶を引き寄せる良い香りもします。この木材は高貴であり、この貴重な木を精力的に狩猟する理由があります。

Lasting Images brings together a selection of works from the Guggenheim’s collection of global contemporary art, featuring pieces by Simryn Gill, Sheela Gowda, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Mona Hatoum, and Doris Salcedo. These works suggest that truly lasting images—those that are most affecting—rarely convey direct messages. Instead, the pieces in this exhibition use ephemeral materials to define spaces for the viewer that invite open-ended contemplation.

The tropical species seem to be lasting longer and getting bigger at Shelly Beach, Manly. There are a range of butterflyfish; dusky, citron, gunther's, threadfin, and even a Centropyge bicolor yesterday

By coincidence, my fellow Flickrite and peerless photographer and commentator Fray Bentos has just posted a photograph of his youthful father, observing how properly attired he was even at leisure. I can certainly make the same comment about my own father, as this is a holiday snap of August 1955 - a very hot summer, some of you might remember. This was actually on the final hours of our holiday: we are returning from two weeks with my grandparents in Colwyn Bay, for me an anticlimactic return to Grimsby, where I will be stuck for a full year before the next annual holiday. This was the first occasion we hired a car. Connoisseurs will identify it as a split-screen Morris Minor (with small rear window). It was a two-door model, light green and I remember its registration of GTL101. We are parked in a lay-by off the A6, having just passed Buxton. We had had a long slog via the A57, stuck behind a pair of slow-moving Pickfords tankers - Scammells, as I recall. My father looks relaxed here, but the tranquility is about to be disrupted by the 5-year old Yours Truly, who threw a tantrum when my parents tried to make me pose for a photograph by the car. I will not be posting THAT photograph on Flickr: it goes far to show why my parents decided enough was enough with me as their only child. GTL101 also misbehaved later into the marathon journey: the fanbelt broke in Gainsborough. But I recall us dropping into a garage in the town and we were soon back on the road with the fanbelt duly fixed. All this, so clear in my lasting memory, was nearly 60 years ago...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russet_sparrow

The Russet Sparrow (Passer rutilans), also called the Cinnamon or Cinnamon Tree Sparrow, is a passerine bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. A chunky little seed-eating bird with a thick bill, it has a body length of 14–15 cm (5.5–5.9 in). Its plumage is mainly warm rufous above and grey below. It exhibits sexual dimorphism, with the plumage of both sexes patterned similarly to that of the corresponding sex of House Sparrow. Its vocalisations are sweet and musical chirps, which when strung together form a song.

Three subspecies are recognised, differing chiefly in the yellowness of their underparts. The subspecies rutilans and intensior breed in parts of eastern Asia, where they are usually found in light woodland, and the subspecies cinnamomeus breeds in the Himalayas, where it is usually associated with terrace cultivation. The Russet Sparrow is the typical sparrow of human habitations in towns where the House and Eurasian Tree sparrows are absent. In the southern part of its range, the Russet Sparrow prefers higher altitudes, but in the north it breeds by the sea. The Russet Sparrow is known well enough in the Himalayas to have a distinct name in some languages, and is depicted in Japanese art.

This sparrow feeds mainly on the seeds of herbs and grains, but it also eats berries and insects, particularly during the breeding season. This diet makes it a minor pest in agricultural areas, but also a predator of insect pests. While breeding, it is not social, as its nests are dispersed. It forms flocks when not breeding, although it associates with other bird species infrequently. In some parts of its range, the Russet Sparrow migrates, at least to lower altitudes. Its nest is located in a tree cavity, or a hole in a cliff or building. The male chooses the nest site before finding a mate and uses the nest for courtship display. The typical clutch contains five or six whitish eggs. Both sexes incubate and feed the young.

Description

The Russet Sparrow is a small chunky bird, with plumage warm rufous in overall colour. It is a medium-sized sparrow at 14–15 cm (5.5–5.9 in) and 18 to 22.5 grams (0.63–0.79 oz).[2][3] It has a thick bill suited to eating seeds, which is black on the breeding male, horn-coloured on the non-breeding male, and yellowish with a dark tip on the female.[4] Wingspans for males range between 6.8–8.2 cm (2.7–3.2 in) and those for females from 6.7–7.7 cm (2.6–3.0 in). Tail, bill, and tarsus lengths are 4.3–5.1 cm (1.7–2.0 in), 1.1–1.3 cm (0.43–0.51 in), and 1.6–1.8 cm (0.63–0.71 in), respectively.[2][3] Measurements for the Russet Sparrow vary geographically, between the three subspecies, and also within the Himalayan subspecies cinnamomeus. The subspecies cinnamomeus is generally larger than the others, and within this form there is a tendency for birds at higher altitudes to be larger, and a clinal variation in size with the smallest birds in the west of the range and the largest in the east.[5] The iris is chestnut in colour.[6] The legs of both sexes are pale brown to pinkish-brown.[4] The flight of all sparrows is swift,[7] and that of the Russet Sparrow is described as swifter and more direct than that of the Eurasian Tree Sparrow.[8]

The sexes differ, or are dimorphic, in their plumage, and have a similar pattern to that in the corresponding sex of House Sparrow.[2][3] There is some variation between the three subspecies, especially in the colouration of the underparts. Birds of the subspecies rutilans are off-white on their cheeks and the sides of their necks, and have pale grey underparts.[2] Birds of the subspecies intensior have a pale yellow wash on their underparts and cheeks, as well as darker upperparts, while those of the subspecies cinnamomeus have a heavy yellow tinge to their underparts.[2][9] Moult is poorly recorded, the only records coming from Sakhalin and Himachal Pradesh. In Sakhalin, moult occurs in August and September, between the breeding season and migration.[10] In Himachal Pradesh, aviculturalist G. A. Perreau observed captive and wild birds and reported that they were yellow from December to spring and whitish during the remainder of the year, a pattern which may be atypical.[11][12][13]

The breeding male is bright russet or cinnamon red on its upperparts from its crown to its rump, with a black streaking on its mantle. It has a small black bib and black around its eye, separated from the russet of its crown by a very thin white supercilium, a stripe running from the bill to the rear of the head.[2] The side of its neck and cheek are off-white, and its underparts are pale grey or washed with yellow, varying geographically. Shoulders and greater coverts are chestnut, and its median coverts are black at the base with white at the tips. The rest of the wing is light brown with black tinges.[2][3][14] Its tail is blackish brown, edged with ashy brown.[6] The non-breeding male differs little from the breeding male,[15] being paler with more orange upperparts.[2][3] The only species with which the male is easily confused is the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, which differs in its black cheek spot and brown back.[16] The female has mostly pale brown upperparts, and pale grey underparts, so it resembles the female House Sparrow. It differs from the House Sparrow in its slightly darker, russet-tinged plumage. It has a conspicuous cream supercilium from above its eye nearly around its head, and a bold dark brown stripe through its eye. It has mostly greyish brown wings and a back streaked with black and buff.[2][3] The juvenile is similar to the female, though more pale and sandy. As the male reaches its first winter, it resembles the adult, differing in less bold chestnut and a dusky bib.[2][3]

Voice

The Russet Sparrow's vocalisations are described by most sources as "the sweetest and most musical" of any sparrow.[10] Its basic call is a cheep or chilp, similar to that of other sparrows. This call is monosyllabic, unlike the House Sparrow's chirrup call, and is softer than that of the other sparrows.[10] This call is given as a flight call, or by displaying males. Recorded variations include a chweep given by males at the nest and a trilled cheeep.[10] Sometimes the male strings calls together and sings them in a strident tone, to create a sort of short song, transcribed as cheep chirrup cheeweep or chreet-chreet-chreet. The song is interspersed with sibilant chu-swik notes similar to those of the White Wagtail.[10][17] A thin swee swee vocalisation not unlike that of an Indian Robin has been reported, but the context of this call is unrecorded.[10][17] During territorial disputes, males give a rapid chit-chit-chit call.[10]

Taxonomy

The Russet Sparrow was first scientifically described, as Fringilla rutilans, by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1835, from a specimen collected in Japan.[3] Its specific name comes from the Latin rutilus, "of a glowing or auburn red".[18] It has usually been placed in the genus Passer, and within this genus it is seen as a part of the "Palearctic black-bibbed sparrow" group, which includes the Eurasian Tree Sparrow as well as the House Sparrow. It has generally been seen as a close relation of the House Sparrow, and Richard Meinertzhagen even considered it to be the same species as the Somali Sparrow, one of the House Sparrow's closest relatives.[3][19] However, studies of mitochondrial DNA indicate that the Russet Sparrow is an early offshoot or basal species among the Palearctic black-bibbed sparrows.[20][21][22] While mitochrondrial DNA suggest speciation in Passer occurred during the Miocene and Pliocene,[20] British ornithologist J. Denis Summers-Smith considers the Russet Sparrow to have separated from the other Palearctic black-bibbed sparrows about 25,000 to 15,000 years ago, during the last glacial period. During this time, sparrows would have only been found in isolated ice-free refugia, such as the lower Yangtze valley, which Summers-Smith considers the most likely centre of evolution for the Russet Sparrow.[4][23]

Thirteen subspecies have been described, but only three are widely recognised, these differing largely in the colour of their underparts.[2][5] The nominate subspecies Passer rutilans rutilans breeds in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and southeastern and central China.[5] The subspecies intensior, described in 1922 by Walter Rothschild from Yunnan, breeds in southwest China and parts of India, Burma, Laos, and Vietnam.[5][24][25] In a large part of Sichuan intensior intergrades with the nominate subspecies, and a number of subspecies names have been proposed for the intergrades.[5] The subspecies cinnamomeus, described in 1836 by John Gould from the northwestern Himalayas, breeds from northern Arunachal Pradesh to Nuristan in Afghanistan.[5][26]

Distribution and habitat

The Russet Sparrow is found in parts of eastern Asia and in the Himalayas. It is not known whether its distribution is continuous between these two areas, since the political sensitivity of the Brahmaputra River's valley near the China-India border makes the area less accessible to ornithologists.[5] In the Himalayas the Russet Sparrow breeds from the far northeast of India through southeastern Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh to Kashmir and Nuristan in Afghanistan.[5] Here, the Russet Sparrow makes short movements to lower altitudes between November and April in many areas.[17] In eastern Asia, the Russet Sparrow is found in Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, a small part of mainland Russia, Japan, southern Korea, and part of northern China, where it is mostly migratory. It is distributed through southern China and Taiwan, and the mountainous parts of Burma, southern Northeast India, Laos, and Vietnam, where it is mostly resident.[5] The Russet Sparrow also occurs as a winter visitor in southern Japan, the further south of China,[5] and northern Thailand.[27] In eastern Asia, the autumn migration occurs between August and November.[5]

The Russet Sparow appears to be abundant in most habitats across most of its very large range,[28] and in the some areas it is among the most common birds.[29][30][31] In Southeast Asia, its range has contracted at lower elevations due to global warming, but it has also moved higher at high elevations and it remains common.[32] Although its global population has not been quantified, it is assessed for the IUCN Red List as Least Concern for global extinction.[28]

Breeding takes place in mountains and uplands across most of the range. This preference for high altitudes is influenced by latitude: in the farthest south of its range it never breeds below 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) above mean sea level, but in the northernmost part of its range it often breeds by the sea.[33] In eastern Asia, the Russet Sparrow prefers light woodland, but it is sometimes found in towns and agricultural areas.[33] In Sakhalin, it breeds mostly in riparian forest.[16] In Hokkaidō, the Russet Sparrow finds a greater food supply for its young in more remote forests, and has greater reproductive success.[34][35] In the Himalayas, it is strongly associated with terrace cultivation, and it probably only spread to the Himalayas when these agricultural practices arrived 3000 to 4000 years ago.[36] In towns where it occurs alongside the House or Tree Sparrow, it is found in gardens and less built up areas.[33] In those hill stations in India where both the House and the Russet Sparrow occur, the House Sparrow breeds around more-built up areas and bazaars, whereas the Russet Sparrow is "rather more up market at the larger houses with gardens and open spaces".[37] In towns where it is the only sparrow, it is not dependent on trees, breeding around houses and eating scraps in streets.[33] In the winter, migratory birds occur in open cultivated land and riverine grasslands, but are never far from shrubs or trees.[33]

Behaviour

In many aspects of its behaviour, the Russet Sparrow is similar to the House and Eurasian Tree sparrows. Like them, it feeds on the ground, but spends most of its time perching on branches.[38] Unlike those species, it prefers open, exposed branches for perching.[2] The Russet Sparrow is described as shy and wary by some observers, but J. Denis Summers-Smith found it approachable in Indian hill stations.[37] Flocking Russet Sparrows feed close to the ground, moving forward as birds from the rear of a flock move to the front, in what is called "roller feeding".[38] Outside its breeding season, the Russet Sparrow is gregarious and forms flocks to find food, though it infrequently associates with other birds.[29][39] Wintering flocks tend to keep away from human habitation. The Russet Sparrow is also social at night during the winter, and it forms large communal roosts in trees and bushes. In the breeding season, the female roosts in the nests and the male nests in foliage nearby.[38] The adult Russet Sparrow is mostly a seed-eater, eating the seeds of herbs and weeds as well as rice, barley, and other grains. Berries, such as those of the kingore (certain Berberis spp.), are also eaten when available.[10] Nestlings are fed mostly on insects, especially caterpillars and larval beetles obtained on trees and flying insects caught by aerial pursuit.[10][35] During the breeding season adults also consume insects.[10][34] Mortality rates in the Russet Sparrow have not been studied, but it is known that many young birds die from Isospora infections, to which the bird has little resistance.[40] Other recorded parasites of the Russet Sparrow include Protocalliphora blowflies,[41][42] and Menacanthus chewing lice.[43]

Breeding

The Russet Sparrow's breeding season is short, lasting about three months. The Himalayan subspecies cinnamomeus has been recorded breeding from April to August, the nominate subspecies breeds from May to July, and the subspecies intensior is believed to breed in March.[44] During its breeding season, the Russet Sparrow is not gregarious, and its nests are dispersed uniformly rather than clustered. Its nests are most frequently built in tree cavities, often disused woodpecker nests.[44][45] The Russet Sparrow has been recorded breeding alongside the Eurasian Tree Sparrow and White Wagtail in Black Kite nests, taking advantage of the territorial defence of the kites to avoid nest predation.[46] Other nest locations include the eaves of thatched roofs, stone walls and embankments, and electric junction boxes.[44] In Bhutan, it nests in holes in the outer walls of monasteries, often alongside the Eurasian Tree Sparrow.[17] In Sakhalin, it will sometimes build free-standing nests in bushes. The Russet Sparrow also uses the disused nests of the Red-rumped Swallow, and a pair of Russet Sparrows has been recorded attempting to oust a pair of Black-crested Tits from their nest.[44]

The male chooses the nest site, and uses it for his courtship display, spending much time calling nearby. When a female comes near a male at his nest the male begins to display by raising his head, drooping his wings, pushing his chest forward, and lowering his tail. He then bows up and down in front of the female, who will lunge and then fly away if unreceptive.[44] Both sexes take part in building the nest, which consists of a loose, untidy bunch of dry grass which fills the nesting cavity, lined with fur and feathers for warmth.[17][44][47] Eggs are elongated ovals, with a fine texture and a slight gloss. They are whitish in overall colour with a grey tinge and brown spots, streaks, or blotches.[47][48] The average size of the egg is 19.2×14.2 millimetres (0.75×0.55 in).[8] Eggs are similar to those of the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, differing in a duller colour and more narrow shape,[8] though they cannot be separated from those of the other sparrows with certainty.[49] Two clutches of four or sometimes five or six eggs are laid in a year.[44] In Hokkaidō, clutches are laid between early May and early July, with two peaks in laying around mid May and late June.[35] Both sexes incubate and feed the young, with the male often being more active in feeding the nestlings.[44] In Hokkaidō, nestlings hatch weighing about 2 to 5 grams (0.071 to 0.176 oz), and fledge fourteen or fifteen days after hatching, weighing 15 to 55 grams (0.53 to 1.94 oz).[35] The Common Cuckoo has been recorded in old literature as a brood parasite of the Russet Sparrow.[50]

Relationships with humans[edit]

In parts of the range, the Russet Sparrow inhabits towns, and in most of its range, it occurs near cultivation, and is a minor pest of agriculture. Though it damages crops, it also feeds its nestlings largely on insect pests.[37][38] In China, the Russet Sparrow has been recorded as a captive bird, kept with the Eurasian Tree Sparrow.[39] In Japan it was eaten in the 1870s and sold in the Yokohama game market.[51] The Russet Sparrow is known well enough in the Himalayas that in most languages it has a different vernacular name from the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Examples of these vernacular names include lal gouriya in Hindi and kang-che-go-ma in Tibetan.[52] The Japanese artist Hokusai portrayed the Russet Sparrow, and due to this, it has appeared on postage stamps featuring Japanese art in Japan, The Gambia, and Guyana.

The Lyrids are a meteor shower lasting from April 16 to April 26 each year. The radiant of the meteor shower is located in the constellation Lyra, peaking at April 22—hence they are also called the Alpha Lyrids or April Lyrids. The source of the meteor shower is particles of dust shed in the cometary tail generated by the periodic Comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher. The Lyrids have been observed for the past 2600 years.

Red Rock Canyon State Park was once home to the Kawaiisu Indians, who left petroglyphs in the El Paso mountains and other evidence of their inhabitation. The spectacular gash situated at the western edge of the El Paso mountain range was on the Native American trade route for thousands of years. During the early 1870s, the colorful rock formations in the park served as landmarks for 20-mule team freight wagons that stopped for water. About 1850, it was used by the footsore survivors of the famous Death Valley trek including members of the Arcane and Bennett families along with some of the Illinois Jayhawkers. The park now protects significant paleontology sites and the remains of 1890s-era mining operations, and has been the site for a number of movies.

A marionette is a puppet controlled from above using wires or strings depending on regional variations. A marionette's puppeteer is called a marionettist. Marionettes are operated with the puppeteer hidden or revealed to an audience by using a vertical or horizontal control bar in different forms of theatres or entertainment venues. They have also been used in films and on television. The attachment of the strings varies according to its character or purpose.

ETYMOLOGY

In French. marionette = "little Mary". One of the first figures to be made into a marionette was the Virgin Mary, hence the name.

HISTORY

ANCIENT TIMES

Puppetry is an ancient form of performance. Some historians claim that they pre-date actors in theatre. There is evidence that they were used in Egypt as early as 2000 BC when string-operated figures of wood were manipulated to perform the action of kneading bread, and other string controlled objects. Wire controlled, articulated puppets made of clay and ivory have been found in Egyptian tombs. Marionette puppetry was used to display rituals and ceremonies using these string-operated figurines back in ancient times and is used today.

Puppetry was practiced in Ancient Greece and the oldest written records of puppetry can be found in the works of Herodotus and Xenophon, dating from the 5th century BC. The Greek word translated as "puppet" is "νευρόσπαστος" (nevrospastos), which literally means "drawn by strings, string-pulling", from "νεῦρον" (nevron), meaning either "sinew, tendon, muscle, string", or "wire", and "σπάω" (spaō), meaning "draw, pull".

Aristotle (384–322 BC) discusses puppets in his work On the Motion of Animals.

The movements of animals may be compared with those of automatic puppets, which are set going on the occasion of a tiny movement; the levers are released, and strike the twisted strings against one another.

Archimedes is known to have worked with marionettes. Plato's work also contains references to puppetry. The Iliad and the Odyssey were presented using puppetry. The roots of European puppetry probably extend back to the Greek plays with puppets played to the "common people" in the 5th century BC. By the 3rd century BC these plays would appear in the Theatre of Dionysus at the Acropolis.

In ancient Greece and Rome clay and ivory dolls, dated from around 500 BC, were found in children's tombs. These dolls had articulated arms and legs, some of which had an iron rod extending up from the tops of their heads. This rod was used to manipulate the doll from above, exactly as is done today in Sicilian puppetry. A few of these dolls had strings in place of the rods. Some researchers believe these ancient figures were mere toys and not puppets due to their small size.

The Indian word "sutradhara" refers to the show-manager of theatrical performances (or a puppet-player), and also means literally "string-puller" or "string-holder".

SICILIAN MARIONETTES

The sides of donkey carts are decorated with intricate, painted scenes from the Frankish romantic poems, such as The Song of Roland. These same tales are enacted in traditional puppet theatres featuring hand-made marionettes of wood, an art form called "L'Opera deî Pupi" ("Opera of the puppets") in Sicilian. The opera of the puppets and the Sicilian tradition of cantastorî (singers of tales) are rooted in the Provençal troubadour tradition in Sicily during the reign of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, in the first half of the 13th century. A great place to see this marionette art is the puppet theatres of Palermo, Sicily.

MARIONETTE OPERAS

In the 18th century, operas were specifically composed for marionettes. Mozart as a child had seen marionettes. Gluck, Haydn, de Falla and Respighi all composed adult operas for marionettes. Lewis Carroll composed marionette operas and plays for his siblings' entertainment. Today in Salzburg in Austria, the Salzburg Marionette Theatre still continues the tradition of presenting full-length opera using marionettes in their own purpose-built theatre.

The Opera dei Pupi, Sicilian puppet theater, was relisted on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008.

MARIONETTES IN MODERN TIMES

Marionettes are sometimes referred to as "puppets", but the term "marionettes" is more precise, distinguishing them from other forms of puppetry, such as finger, glove, rod and shadow puppetry.

In the UK the renaissance of Marionettes during the late 19th and early 20th century was driven by W. H. Whanslaw and Waldo Lanchester, two of the co-founders of the British Puppet and Model Theatre Guild. The only purpose-built UK marionette theatre is The Harlequin Puppet Theatre (built 1958) in Rhos on Sea, North Wales, Founded by the late Eric Bramall FRSA and continued by Chris Somerville. Other theatres that occasionally perform with marionettes are the Little Angel Theatre founded by John and Lyndie Wright in Islington, London, Whose first ever show The Wild Night Of The Witches was a marionette play, It opened the theatre in 1961 and was revived for the 50th anniversary in 2011 The Norwich Puppet Theatre founded by Ray & Joan DaSilva sometimes present marionette shows and the Puppet Theatre Barge continue to perform using long string marionettes throughout the year, founded by Gren Middleton and Juliet Rogers. The barge is based in Little Venice, London during the winter months and tours to places such as Richmond Upon Thames during the summer.

In Scotland, Dr Malcolm Knight has championed the art form and over the last 25 years the Scottish Mask and Puppet Centre[12] has acted as a catalyst, a lead agency, and as a resource centre for all those with an interest in mask and puppet theatre.

In Austria the Salzburg Marionette Theatre was founded in 1913 by Professor Anton Aicher. Aicher was heavily influenced by Count Franz Pocci who founded the Munich Marionette Theatre in Germany in 1855. Until 2012, the Salzburg Marionette Theatre was under the artistic direction of his granddaughter, Gretl Aicher, who commented on her lasting interest in marionettes, "What then is the fascination of a life with marionettes? Is it the pleasure of performing? The appeal of mastering an 'instrument' to the point of virtuosity? The transformation of one's own self? For me, it is the process of empathizing with mind and soul, of feeling at one with music and movement that bring these much loved creatures to life. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre performs mainly operas such as Die Fledermaus and The Magic Flute and a small number of ballets such as The Nutcracker. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre productions are aimed for adults although children are welcome. There is also a marionette theatre at Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna. Marionette theatre also had a very long history in entertainment in Prague,

In the Czech Republic Marionette theatre has a very long history in entertainment in Prague, An important organisation is the National Marionette Theatre. Its repertoire mainly features a marionette production of Mozart's famous Don Giovanni. The production has period costumes and a beautifully designed 18th-century setting. There are numerous other companies including, Buchty a Loutky ("Cakes and Puppets") founded by Marek Bečka. Rocky IX and Tibet are just two works in the repertoire.

In Australia, like in many other countries, there is a continuing tradition of marionette puppetry. Norman Hetherington OAM, Peter Scriven, founder of the Marionette Theatre of Australia, Richard Bradshaw OAM and David Splatt (Smallpox Theatre) are notable puppeteers.

In Picardy, Lafleur is a marionette from Amiens. The Cabotans d'Amiens are hand carved, using wood, with a central rod and strings for the arms and legs. In France, the most famous puppet is the Guignol which is a hand puppet created in Lyon in 1808.

TELEVISION FILM

With the rise in popularity of television and film, marionettes found a rise in popularity especially in children's programming. The story of Pinocchio and its Disney adaptation (Pinocchio), which was released in 1940, is a story about a marionette. In 1947, Howdy Doody introduced marionettes to children's television, with Howdy Doody (the main character) being a marionette, as well as some other characters.

In the 1950s, Bil Baird and Cora Eisenberg presented a great number of marionette shows for television, and were also responsible for the Lonely Goatherd sequence from the classic film The Sound of Music. Bil Baird also wrote a classic book on his work. In Australia, a program called Mr. Squiggle, using a marionette central character of the same name, ran for just over 40 years (1959–1999). Another program for children using puppetry was the Magic Circle Club featuring puppets Cassius Cuckoo and Leonardo de Funbird.

From the 1940s onwards, the BBC in the United Kingdom, produced a wide series of marionette programmes for children and then created The BBC Television Puppet Theatre based in Lime Grove Studios from 1955–1964, Usually under the title Watch With Mother The various programmes included Whirligig, The Woodentops, Bill and Ben, Muffin The Mule, Rubovia a series created by Gordon Murray and Andy Pandy. Later in the 1960s, Gerry Anderson with his wife, Sylvia Anderson and colleagues made a number of hit series, Fireball XL5, Stingray and Thunderbirds, which pioneered a technique combining marionettes and electronics. This allowed for radio control moving of the mouth of a marionettes. The technique was patented and called "supermarionation". The programs have been shown all around the world and are now widely distributed on DVD. Anderson also made two films, Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6.[15] During the 1970s in the UK TV series using marionettes include The Adventures of Rupert Bear, Mumfie and Cloppa Castle. Some marionettes appear in Pipkins namely Octavia Ostrich. More recently marionettes are starting to re emerge on the TV screen, Coca Cola Have used marionettes to create a series of adverts based in an office and music videos use them regularly as metaphors.

Marionettes are featured in the 1999 film, Being John Malkovich. John Cusack played a manipulator who referred to himself as a puppeteer.

The BBC children's show Playbus (later Playdays) used many puppets during their commission, notably a singing and dancing marionette called Lizzie Dreams, sometimes paired up with another marionette called Nick.

Team America: World Police is a 2004 movie made by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker which uses a crude, naive, child like style of supermarionation as in Thunderbirds. Matt Stone and Trey Parker dubbed their version "Supercrappymation" due to the fact they intentionally left the strings visible among other reasons.

Also appearing in 2004 was the full-length, award-winning marionette fantasy film Strings, directed by Dane Anders Rønnow Klarlund.

A marionette was also used in the Doctor Who episode "The Shakespeare Code".

Pixar uses its own proprietary software called Marionette to create its animations but this has nothing to do with puppetry except in name.

TYPES OF MARIONETTE CONTROL BAR

CHINESE/ASIAN PADDLE CONTROL

This type of control has many strings attached to a rounded rectangular paddle with a short handle, all the strings are attached and hang from the outer edge of the paddle and are used by selecting each string with the opposite hand and pulling to control the figure which hangs below.

HORIZONTAL CONTROL

This control is a bar which is held in the hand in a horizontal plane. There can be numerous bars at right angles to the central bar, which in turn attaches via wires to the hands, shoulders, back, etc. A smaller plate is usually hung under the main bar, and this carries the head strings; likewise, a detachable clip usually holds the leg bar. This style of control is generally used in the USA for human figures and is also known as the American control. A similar control is almost universally used for quadruped animals; as it emulates the basic shape of the animal, rocking it from side to side will control the leg movements in unison. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre in Austria also uses a variant of this style for its human characters.

VERTICAL CONTROL

This type of control is an upright bar which has various smaller bars inserted at right angles from which the head, shoulder, back etc. strings etc. are attached to. This control usually has a detachable leg bar which controls walking when held in the opposite hand. The arms are controlled by wires which are inserted into a hole in the shaft bent at approximately 45 degrees to the shaft and hang loosely with a loop at the end to attach the hand strings, these are then moved by the fingers holding the main shaft. A tilt of the main upright, controls the head and body with a fine nuance, This type of control is usually called the British control. Another variation of the vertical control is found in Europe usually a rigid wire rod extends from the centre of the head upwards and fixed rigidly to the control, The leg bar is inserted through the main upright but pivots on a pin to allow movement of the legs.

STYLES OF MARIONETTES

SICILIAN MARIONETTES

Sicilian marionettes are among the simplest marionettes to operate. They are usually carved out of wood and have a sturdy rod which extends up through the body into the head. This rod, and one string attached to the hand, controls the manipulation of the puppet.

CZECH MARIONETTES

Czech rod marionettes are similar to Sicilian ones though they are more complex. They are hand carved, usually using lime wood. The marionettes have the central rod like the Sicilian marionette but also have strings for the arms and legs. Sometimes they also use string to control a mouth or movable ears. These require more skilled manipulation. Czechs also have marionettes that have no central rod and strings that are attached to the head, shoulders and back. These are the most difficult marionettes to manipulate due to the absence of the central rod. Miroslav Trejtnar is an acknowledged master puppeteer and teacher of traditional Czech marionette making skills.

BURMESE MARIONETTES

Burmese marionettes are all string operated and are a popular art in Burma. Marionettes are called Yoke thé (lit. miniatures) and are almost always performed in operas. A Burmese marionette troupe must have 27 characters, including a king, animals such as horse, elephant, tiger, monkey and parrot, ministers, prince and princess and buffoons A hsaing waing, a traditional Burmese orchestra usually provides the music. Burmese marionettes are very intricate and dexterous as they employ 18 (for male characters) or 19 (for female) wires, each puppet controlled only by one puppeteer.

Installation Views

Lasting Images

October 14, 2013–January 10, 2014

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

5th Ave at 89th St

New York City

Lasting Images brings together a selection of works from the Guggenheim’s collection of global contemporary art, featuring pieces by Simryn Gill, Sheela Gowda, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Mona Hatoum, and Doris Salcedo. These works suggest that truly lasting images—those that are most affecting—rarely convey direct messages. Instead, the pieces in this exhibition use ephemeral materials to define spaces for the viewer that invite open-ended contemplation.

** It has just come to my notice (10/12/23) that the Download option below and to the right of the media _does not_ allow you to download the full version, only the 3 minutes available here. So, I am going to try and 'fix' this for all videos lasting more than 3 minutes, this is the link to obtain the full version shown here-

* Introduction

A long time in the making, as they say, and this it has certainly been. The link access to Adrian's Blog-

www.adrianwynn.co.uk

no longer works, and having contacted Google, who operate the Blogger program/application, and having got nowhere with them to remedy the problems, some one on the online 'Help' team suggested that the URL had been disabled. Not having access to his account meant I couldn't fix this but fortunately, in early September, a month after he died, I using the Google Cache facility to download all 5 sections/chapters of his Blog and stored them on my Workstation PC. Over the last week or so, I have been working on getting the complete set ready to host on my own, 'tightfitz', site and this required some tidying and adapting of the code to make it presentable without all the Google additions which, now he is no longer with us, were rendered useless anyway, e.g. the comments section and his email. This was completed, finally today, Saturday 30th November and his blog at the URL above is now fully available, via simple navigation page, at-

www.adrianwynn.tightfitz.com

I have appended my own e-mail in case anyone wants to contact me or has any comment.. As stated on the gateway page, the blog content is a snapshot from the beginning of September but is of course how Adrian left it when he went into hospital for his heart operation which, although surviving the long operating procedure, resulted in him becoming very ill during the ensuing week. He died in the early hours of Friday August 2nd and was cremated at the Grenoside Crematorium on Wednesday 14th August; he would have been 70 on 23rd October, this year. I put a short, 'In Memoriam' piece on Flickr on the day I heard he had died, see-

www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/48440198022/

and since that time I have been working on an idea to present a video, a re-visit of some of the locations, which featured in his Blog but, as mentioned above, this vanished at the beginning of October. Fortunately, I was able to recover the material due to my expedience in making sure I had local copies of the material, this I have now put back on line, hosted by my own web domain, tightfitz.com at the address above.

* The Videos

During the ensuing weeks, the total time spent on the video, it has now turned into two as there is a natural division of the material, is currently around 35 hours and this doesn't include what I now expect to be a lengthy pair of narrative texts to accompany the two 'films'.

This first one, 95Mby/6mimns 9sec long, covers Attercliffe, Wardsend Cemetery, Parkgate & Aldwarke, Waverley & Orgreave and Treeton & Orgreave. The second, 82Mby/5mimns 20sec long, covers Parkwood Springs, Neepsend & Riverside, Meadowhall & Brightside and Tinsley & Atlas. It is another very great shame that just 2 weeks before Adrian went for his operation he was talking about some music he had heard which 'had speaking in it', with little else as a prompt I immediately knew, because I had heard the same material and been a fan for about 6 years, that it was the band, 'Public Service Broadcasting' who mix various aspects of sounds from the Second World War, as background clips to their music, see-

www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/

It was clear, when I commenced doing the two videos, that the music to accompany them would have to be from the 1st album the band produced, 'The War Room E.P.', and the two videos therefore have 'If War Should Come' and the 1st half of 'Spitfire' in Part I and the the 2nd half of 'Spitfire' and 'London Can Take It' for Part II.

So, the two videos are split as-

1. Attercliffe.

2. Wardsend Cemetery.

3. Parkgate & Aldwarke. 153330 taken on 21st November, 2010.

4. Waverley & Orgreave.

5. Treeton & Orgreave.

and

6. Parkwood Springs.

7. Neepsend and Riverside.

8. Meadowhall and Brightside.

9. Tinsley and Atlas.

which match the items, but with some additions of my own in a particular area, in his 5-part Blog, newest to oldest in order at

www.adrianwynn.tightfitz.com/

are-

5. Day Return to Swinton: Railway Edgeland in the Lower Don Valley, 2019

4. Fire & Water: An Upper Don Walk, 2019

3. Broomhall: Slight Return, 2019

2. Kilnsea: Edge of the Land, 2018

1. Orgreave: Landscape & Memory, 2018

Adrian was working on the last part, about a day trip to Swinton in the weeks before he died, which was partly based on a small booklet he and Ruth Midgley had produced in 2011, and was the basis for an exhibition of the photographs and poems at Swinton Library, that year. The Blog page relating to this is unfinished in terms of narrative text and maybe images too and is something I was looking forward to seeing completed; the pictures however stand up for themselves irrespective of all this. I guess re-visiting the sites and taking the pictures for the two videos which subsequently resulted, from my perspective, helped me towards trying to get over his untimely departure; I still had a lot to discuss with him and its a tragedy this now can't happen. The purpose behind the two videos is just to reflect what a good photographer and narrator he was and I greatly enjoyed his text style and flow as demonstrated in the Blog pages above with my introduction on the 'wrapper' page for the 5 pieces.

Taking the first 5 sections listed above for the first video, a description of the shots taken to reflect Adrian's work as it stood at the beginning of August this year, and archived by me, a month later, in early September.

1. Attercliffe sequence. A view of the Brightside Steelworks drop forge, moved to this location when the original location was re-developed. Buddleia replaces the red berries at Norfolk Bridge with a T.P.E. class 185 on the 1B76, Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes service crossing over. At the old Attercliffe Station site and Northern 1588901 passes north on the 1Y16, Nottingham to Leeds service, the station site is just in front of it. 'Dirty Fries' anyone! Heading into Sheffield, photographed at one of Adrian's locations, this is Northern 144022 heading past a different set of billboards on the 2B15, stopper, Huddersfield to Sheffield service. Featured in a channel 4 TV documentary, see-

thetab.com/uk/sheffield/2017/01/05/sheffield-brothel-tv-l...

but not in any of Adrian's pictures, this is 'City Sauna', a local brothel on Warren Street, a Cemex cement truck passes by on Attercliffe Road. Burton Weir, accessed via 'The Five Weirs Walk' gateway is juts along Warren Street and the next view shows the River Don with Northern class 142 passing over the Burton Weir bridge on a Leeds to Sheffield service, yet another Cemex cement truck passes along underneath on Leveson Street; the Attercliffe Station site is just behind the DMU. Another, slightly different liveried Cemex truck passes by in the opposite direction, for a refill possibly as there's a lot of building work going on in this area, whilst having had an hour's layover in the Brightside Sidings, Freightliner class 66, 66619, 'Derek W. Johnson MBE', passes south on a light engine working, 0M02, from Leeds Balm Road to Hope, Earles Sidings. And its around an hour later so another T.P.E. class 185 passes over the bridge, heading south to Sheffield on the 1B79, Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport service. The view along part of the 'Five Weirs Walk' towards 'Salmon Pastures Nature Reserve', follows next with the Veolia Recycling facility off to the right and followed by two close-up shots of the light engine working, slowly edging south towards Sheffield though the Attercliffe Station site. Moving further east now in the direction of Brightside and yet another Drop Forge from the Brightside Steelworks, this time set amongst new build housing on Britnall Street. And finally in this section, at Brightside itself and a headstock wheel from the old Brightside Colliery. Looking in the other direction from the Headstock Wheel, the Midland Main Line out of Sheffield passes through the area and in front of the Forgemasters Steel works which forms the backdrop to the next pictures, the first, a local passenger DMU in the form of Northern grey/green liveried class 150, 150107 on the 2N16, Leeds to Sheffield stopping service. The next shot, another of the regulars, this time, once more, a couple of T.P.E. class 185 coach sets hooked together on the 1B81, Cleethorpes to Manchester Airport service; quite a long train on this one. Lastly in this section another location of Adrian's at the Cement Works on Carlisle Street, serendipitous were these elements as a cyclist and an Ambulance vehicle came by within seconds of each other forming components for this picture. Adrian's shot here which is about half way through the Swinton section shows a very similar scene but with a L'Oreal advertisement hoarding prominent on the right, supported by the 4 sets of supporting legs, which now are all that remain of it; the phone box is however present in both pictures.

2. Wardsend Cemetery sequence. Adrian, and me, had interest in this old, now disused, Victorian Cemetery between the River Don and the Stocksbridge Branch line at Owlerton and the first shows both the northern edge of the old cemetery and the railway line which normally carries only one return steel train a day between Aldwarke U.E.S. and the Ellen Wood Sidings, east of Stocksbridge Works. His interest, according to the 'Fire & Water: An Upper Don Walk, 2019' section of the Blog was related to a character, Mark Cooper, who had died in the flood caused by the Dale Dyke dam collapse which flooded the whole valley in the early hours of 11 March 1864. He relates the details of this story and I'll not repeat it here, suffice it to say that these are pictures taken in the area of various aspects of this and the industry which once existed along Club Mill Lane which extends from Wardsend along the River Don side to Neepsend. However, some information about Mark Cooper taken from a piece of mine, now not shown on this site and not recounted in Adrian's Blog, 'Fire & Water: An Upper Don Walk in 2019'-

www.adrianwynn.tightfitz.com/

is given here in an edited version of the original-

...'A walk around what is now 'The Wardsend Cemetery Heritage Park', where many of the victims of the Dale Dyke reservoir wall collapse, in 1864, are buried, he was one of the victims of this disaster, though he didn't die due to the direct impact of the flood, but shortly after. His name is listed on the Sheffield Flood Monument near Millsands on the bank of the River Don in Sheffield and having obtained a plan of the layout of the cemetery and the reference location of the plot, R272, from the 'find a grave' site for the Wardsend cemetery-

www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2149031/wardsend-cemetery

it was possible for me to try, like Adrian, to find his plot. After a protracted search, chiefly routing around in burgeoning undergrowth in roughly the centre of the section near the Stocksbridge branch line, nothing could be found of his grave, as I had the same problem which Adian had faced, around a year or so before.

One of the shots shows the remnant of the old Neepsend Power Station, now a sub-station and various remnants of the works and two signboards with information about the newly designated 'Wardsend Cemetery Heritage Park' and the last shot, an information board relating to the old Works, the old bridge which was swept away in the Summer, 2007 floods and to the 'Friends of Wardsend' who look after the Cemetery's well-being.

3. Parkgate & Aldwarke sequence. This section forms part of the 'Day Return to Swinton: Railway Edgeland in the Lower Don Valley, 2019' section of the Blog and this was the only way I could deal with matters at the time, splitting material up geographically on separate days; this applies to all sections of both videos. The first shot here, of the green saddle-tank locomotive and the DMU passing through the Parkgate area, was one of the first pictures we took together when I arrived back in the UK in 2010. This one being taken, on a Sony DSLR borrowed from Adrian, during the few weeks when I had sold the Canon EOS40D and was in the process of purchasing its replacement, the EOS5D MkII; at the end of November, 26th, of that year, so just a tad over 9 years ago. As I write this, December 4th, the sky in that picture looks just like it did today, bright, cold and clear and the colours come out well, though unlike Adrian's picture, I missed including the whole of the bright red car on the right; he obviously saw something I didn't .. quite! Passing by is be-grimed, single coach, Northern class 153, 153330 heading north from Rotherham Central on what may possibly be, for the time of day, the 2R65, Sheffield to Adwick service.. Moving closer to Rotherham and the Oil Terminal on Northfield Road where the 'Exol Pride' docks to unload its 400 tonnes of oil from the Humber Port at Hedon Road, this taking place 2-3 times per week. On the other side of Greasbrough Road bridge, is 'Beatson Clark', a glass packaging makers and who have been around for years, whilst at running along the front of their premises, a Northern DMU, 142084, passes by northwards from Rotherham, on the 2R53, Sheffield to Adwick service, the River Don is just out of shot to the left. Looking along the line towards Parkgate from the railway bridge, a 'new kid on the block', a Sheffield Tram/Train unit, this one 399206 on the now successfully running service, this one 2A35, from Parkgate to Sheffield Cathedral, seen passing behind the prominent Oil Terminal storage tanks. The vehicles used to distribute the oil, once brought along to here by the 'Exol Pride' which uses the River Humber and Dun Navigation to reach the limit for water borne traffic of this size, at the Oil Terminal premises; only pleasure craft and barge type traffic can go any further, ultimately reaching the terminus of the canal system at Victoria Quays in the canal's Sheffield Basin. Beatson Clark & Buddleia, the latter now past its best though with one frond waving in the breeze over the River Don, on this 29th August day, with Beatson Clark in the background. Moving back towards Parkgate and this is an iconic shot in the Blog, about a quarter the way down, where Adrian photographed this scene when BnQ where still present. This spot changed hands twice since then, with the Australian outlet 'Bunnings', also a DIY store, but Australian style, taking charge for little more than a year before quiting, then Homebase took over, another DIY store and now I see, just a couple of weeks ago, they too are selling out as well and moving on. Due to tree growth, it wasn;t possible to see 'Homebase' but the green roof just pokes out above the topes of the trees now growing rampantly on the track-bed of the old MSLR's Fitzwilliam, Stubbin Lane Colliery Branch line alongside the short section of the Greasbrough Canal. Looking the other way, south towards Rotherham, with All Saints Parish Church prominent on the horizon, another Sheffield class 399, Tram/Train unit comes by, this time heading past the canal turning hole, for a stop at the terminus and reversal at the Parkgate Tram stop just along the line a short distance to the left; this being the 2A36 service from Sheffield Cathedral to Parkgate retail. All looks calm and peaceful here but in 3 months, this area and Rotherham Central, will once more be flooded badly, and these services will be suspended for a whole week. Adrian has photographed 'The Storyteller' pub and I have to confess not being too interesting in it, it id featured as the last shot on the Swinton Blog and has no text, in similar fashion to many of the others in this section. His picture, taken probably 8-10 years ago is devoid of the incumbent vegetation which the ones in this video are plagued with so its much easier to see the traction passing on the Midland Main line in his shot, a Northern class 15x DMU along with the 'Free Wifi' hoarding and '2 meals for 10 quid' board; I can see why he photographed it. In my representative shots, I wasn't so lucky though the advertising is still of interest, the background lines are now shrouded from view though, not wishing to be beaten, just visible in the first one is a green, class 66 Freightliner, the 4O90, Leeds to Southampton MCT container train which must be ambling south quite slowly as I recall, as it took a while to pass the back of 'The Storyteller' pub. Over on the left, beyond the tall trees, is the last remaining vestige of the Greasbrough Canal, alongside of which, on the other side, ran the Stubbin Lane Colliery branch up to the two collieries at Lower and Upper Haugh; the area of the furthest one at High Stubbin, now another pub, 'The Marquis' alongside the aptly named, Stubbin Road. Moving further over towards Aldwarke and the twin road bridges of Midland, in the foreground, and beyond, the GCR's old bridge, both set quite low compared the the roadways, so 'dips' in the road surface beneath both bridges. Here, at this locale, I was lucky, over a short period of time, the elements came together to produce 3 pictures worthy of comparison to Adrian's image at this locale in around 2011 or 12... I was there but now can't remember any shots I took myself, the ones shown here were taken on 29th August this year and, as luck would have it, there were enough 'elements' around in the scene, to make for an interesting set of 3 shots; including a 5-unit DBS convoy returning from Doncaster to Toton. The first of the three most closely resembles Adrian's shot at that time with the 'Station Hotel' prominent in both shots and both showing different aspects of contemporary living. Passing along the Midland line heading north in my shot, yet another T.P.E. class 185, in 'Arriva' livery, the 1B74, Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes service. The 'lie' of the land underneath both the Midland bridge and, behind it, the GCR bridge, is easy to see and is testament to the fact that these places, in the present days of 'Climate Crisis', are easy to flood. In the background in the first shot, the 4 old and one new chimney stacks of the Aldwarke U.E.S. and over to the left, between here and there, the railway yard where the steel trains for the nightly Stocksbridge steel train is marshalled, passing over the further bridge en-route for Rotherham Central, the Lower & Upper Don Valley and finally Stocksbridge Works. BBC TV series 'Peaky Blinders' is on the advertising hoarding, the 'Station Hotel' name-board is in much the same state but the frontage looks as little better than it did 10 years ago. Even more dramatic in the 2nd and 3rd shots as the regular light engine move, 0F54, back south from Doncaster to Toton turns up with an unexpected bonus, 5 DBS locos on today's convoy- leading is red-liveried class 66, 66117, with class 67, 6702 and then 66140, 66112 and finally 66086 all seen passing over the Midland Bridge beyond the pub. Looking somewhat bemused and clearly keeping the dog under control, a passes by, with a pair of ear defenders, well, probably up-market headphones, walks towards the camera with the shot nicely showing 67020 behind him. The last of the 3 shots look towards Parkgate and the 1st 3 locos of the convoy passing the site of what used to be the Midland's Parkgate & Rawmarsh Station, the GCR's, Parkgate & Aldwarke Station at the other side of the road bridge off to the left, just a few hundred yards away. A red Ford Focus, with inquisitive driver looking my way, completes the shot.

4. Waverley & Orgreave sequence. Much of this shorter Blog, the second of which Adrian completed just over a year ago, in September 2018, is related to his historic pictures taken as far back as the early 1980s, through to the 90s and early noughties with just 6 of the complete set of 20 being contemporary. In the video there are 14 shots in this section and only 5 of them match Adrian's original locations the rest are presented as supporting the feel of the two places, Waverley & Orgreave, the former name is that given to the area which was once the vast Orgreave Coal & Coking Company. It was also the scene of the 'Battle of Orgreave', described in Adrian's narrative, and who was present at the time, and so I will not do it any injustice by repeating stuff which has already been said. A BBC article of the time, reflecting what Adrian recounts in his Blog piece, can be seen here-

www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/content/articles/2009/01/28/...

The first 3 shots show the now redeveloped site, as the new Waverley, 3,800 house, housing estate occupying the northern-western end of the the large Orgreave site. The first shot is of a large sculpture which has been placed not very far from both Rotherwood Hall over to the left and Orgreave Hall in front of the stone, somewhat down the hill and there is more on this in the next section, 'Treeton & Orgreave', with a picture of the old Orgreave Hall before it was demolished. The plaque on the stone reads, 'Dedicated to the Workers of Orgreave Colliery. 1851-1981'. The encroachment of the new housing is clear to see and when these shots were taken, it wasn't yet complete though the ground is delineated so the extent of the estate maybe seen. The next of the 3 is a shot corresponding to Adrian picture taken in 2018 and after a shot looking over the railway formation, the GCR's Lincoln Line from Sheffield to the east, travelling along it, a Northern DMU, 144015 on the 2P12 service between Sheffield and Lincoln Central and it is seen heading towards the old Orgreave road bridge where much of the altercation between miners and police took place, in 1984. It has since been closed off and replace by the structure over on the right which now dominates the area, dwarfing the old bridge in the process; how times have changed. The Waverley Estate is on the right in the distance, at the end of the road over the new bridge, the road now connecting to the estate via a new roundabout. Eastwards, beyond the bridge at Orgreave is another, spanning the line over into the Coking plant works at the northern end, the bridge carrying what was Orgreave Lane and is now an access for walkers and cyclists into the Northern end of the Waverley Country Park. The Northern DMU, 144015 can be seen again now approaching Orgreave Lane bridge and beyond that was the large expanse of the Rotherwood Exchange sidings. A view from the new bridge, across the old one towards Handsworth and in the distance, a new green footbridge replacing a much nicer one, a GCR lattice affair which looked the part here; something which the new one does not. The old bridge deck looks its age and would have been here since the building of the line by the M.S.L.R., the G.C.R.'s predecessor, in the mid 1800s. Two of the next 4 shots, based around the Waverley Estate, match those taken by Adrian, these are the one showing the small park which existed for a while but is now closed, even though someone is using it, the location being next to the new Advanced Technology Park which is situated right next to the Sheffield Parkway and Morrisons Supermarket. The other, which I pointed out to Adrian as I knew this would be his sort of shot, and its in the Blog, is of a section f the new build housing with the 'Back-to-Back housing: Conceived in 1838, re-imagined for 2018', well, what _can_ I say.. Awful? The ATP with its two wind turbines and new buildings is growing a-pace and the land in between ought to be turned into something useful, a school is promised but there's no sign of it yet; the pub, 'The Winter Green', went up straight away! The last 3 in this section show two of the other historic artifacts in the area both of them large wheels from the top of local colliery headstock towers, the first is close by at Treeton on Station Road whilst the second, from Beighton Colliery is also close by on Woodhouse Lane, both unhindered by narrative description! In between the two, travelling from one to the other get to the Treeton area to complete this 1st video sequence, a view looking along the bank which took the GCR mineral line from the 'Old Road' at Treeton Junction along to here on an embankment over Station Road and then continuing on to cross the River Rother at the end of this embankment and on into the Orgreave Coking works, two shots of the crossing can be seen here, before and after removal of the bridge, on May 10th, 2011-

www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/5717912439/

and after removal, which I missed, on February 6th, 2012-

www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/6831420139/

the eastern side of the Wavereley Housing Estate is in the background.

5. Treeton & Orgreave sequence. This final section in Part I of the video, continues on with the theme in the last section, 'Waverley & Orgreave' but now viewed from the perspective of the Treeton area and so fills in some of the gaps left out from there. At the north side of Treeton village, and passed many times, the pit tub, photographed in 1992, two years after Treeton Colliery closed. His two images were photographed 16 years apart and mine, 1 year after his 2018 shot with the tub full of flowers. The view from here, overlooking the 'Old Road' in the distance, the Treeton connection to the Orgreave Colliery via a mineral line mentioned in the last section, make this a worthy locale to include shots all around; hence there are 5, including one stark contrast with the passage of an RAC breakdown 'Van Man'. The tub is still well kept and being mid-September, is still full of flowers and the last shot of the 5 looks to the hill which presumably is an old spoil tip, the Treeton Colliery once behind this; who cares for the carers I might ask. The railway crossed over the road further down towards the village and the track bed is still walkable over to where it went over the Midland Line, the blue-brick bridge abutments being still in-situ and featured in many pictures here, of this area. There was of course also a connection to the Midland line, a line going off the colliery line and heading north to meet the Midland line at a junction about a half mile away, just before the line passes over the River Rother at Treeton North Junction. The line at either side of that area is marked 'Tip(dis)' on the 2004 OS map, but it may well be called a 'Nature Reserve' by now. Four more shots of the iconic and rusting Orgreave Lane bridge, once carrying workers over into the Orgreave Colliery complex, now walkers and cyclists into the large Waverley Nature Reserve at the other side of which is the 'Old Road' passing south through Treeton. Two of the shots show the passage of a 'semi-fast', two-coach Northern 'Sprinter, class 158, 158784, 'Barbara Castle', a worthy name for this DMU, on the 1L50, Lincoln Central via Sheffield to Leeds service. It has just passed through the Rotherwood Exchange Sidings area, a large exchange point for the Woodhead electrics and more conventional traction, to take workings south as far away as London. Around the bend in the distance, beyond the signal, the substantial iron column of the Water Crane still stands and can be seen from a passing DMU, if you're quick and attentive about it.

For those interested I have posted the two videos, which followed the one taken passing at Harry Needle's Yard at Worksop, on the 4th June this year when I went over there with Adrian to photograph the coaching stock which was arriving into the Yard from the south, a shot of the set arriving, see-

in the last part, the Water Crane mentioned above is 55secs on from the start, you have to be quick to see it, pause the video to take a better look, though as the DMU was rattling along, its a bit blurred, though obvious what it is, the only remnant of Rotherwood Sidings, the back of the signal mentioned above can also be spotted, soon after. A couple of political reminders of the past are painted on the cast iron bridge walls as the DMU heads under both the new and old bridges to the north in the next shot. One of Adrian's iconic shots of the land overlooking the southern end of the Orgreave site in 1984 shows a branch line coming towards the Orgreave Spoil Tips he was stood on and a rake of coal wagons extending along the line from the junction northwards. In the background, the Treeton footbridge standing out white against the background of Treeton Church. My shot of this, is the bast that can be made of it given how much the landscape has changed in the intervening years. The bridge over the diverted River Rother, see-

www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/6845186203/

can be seen, but the railway footbridge is hidden in foliage at the bottom of Washfield Lane, left of centre. The next four shots show the present views over the landscape from just behind the site of Orgreave Hall with Rotherwood Hall off to the left of it just a short way. Some information about Rotherwood Hall can be hound on the Sheffield History website, see-

The large stone shown here was placed above the site of the old Coking works and now the almost fully developed Waverley Housing Estate, the plaque reads-

'Dedicated to the Workers of Orgreave Colliery. 1851-1981' and as can be seen in the next shop there are a pair of workman's boots sculpted into the rock face, a fitting tribute? A bright blue 'Brocklebank' HGV passes by on the newly laid dirt road which off on the far left, passes through the Rotherwood Hall site, there's a map at the link above showing where this was; Orgreave HAll was between the Stone Sculpture and the blue HGV. Looking due south in the next shot and the landscaped nature of the site can be seen along wit the large nature ponds and in the left background, the southern end of the River Rother and the Midland's 'Old Road' pass on through Woodhouse Mill. The blue water tank being hauled along by the green tractor, nothing if not colourful, is heading past the triangle of land, in front of the new-build houses at left, which was the site of Rotherwood Hall, there is of course now nothing left of the demolished building. 'Rotherwood' has a historic connection with the book by Sir Walter Scott, 'Ivanhoe', as described at the head of Adrian's Blog piece on this and the 'Waverley Novels' and the section makes for interesting reading, so I wont repeat it all here, suffice it to say I was very much surprised to discover all this and, after Adrian's untimely death as well, something I very much regret. The last of my many shots, as having 'gotten bitten by the bug' of all the historical past associated with the site, in stark contrast to what it ultimately became, is another of the colourful 'local traction types', this one a red 'Brid's' HGV heading over to the site at the southern end doing I know not what, more landscaping presumably as the housing development is limited the north-western edge. The tree on the bank to the left of it and in front of where I am stood taking the pictures is probably the best indication of where Orgreave Hall was located, it surviving into the early 1990s, after which it was demolished, which is a very great shame, it ought to have been left standing as a testament to past times & glories. Some information about the Hall related to the last picture in the series, one of the few I could find showing what the Hall looked like-

'...The image is a copy of a painting of Orgreave Hall, by W. Nicholson, the

family home of John Sorby b.1755 and later Richard Wilfred Sorby b.1840

his grandson. Although the artist is not known for sure, the painting is

of similar style and the signatures match a William Nicholson (Registered

Scottish Artist, RSA) 1781-1844.It is not known how much of a true to life

depiction or idealised view the picture is or when it was commissioned. It

must have been painted prior to Wilfred Richard’s tenure since Wilfred was

born in 1840.It is known that Wilfred Richard’s daughter Gertrude Rowena Sorby

passed the painting along to her descendants in the Waterfall family. There

is an additional photo of Orgreave Hall on this website when it was used as a

social club and administrative offices by the NCB. Although a listed building,

it was not enough to save it and the building slipped into a poor state of

repair, before it was demolished in 1993 to make way for the expansion of

the Orgreave Mine and coke processing plant...'
