//TRANSMISSION INCOMING//
"Hello......... Can anyone hear me? This is Jedi Knight Phimik Offtuns reaching out to any Jedi of the Republic! We've been betrayed! I was on assignment with my squad on the planet of Danderth when they turned on me! Our assignment was to land on the planet and find the CIS outpost on the surface. By the time we got there the outpost had already been hit and seemed to have been abandoned for some time now. As I was investigating my captain received a transmission, which I though was off because I did not receive a transmission. While searching the facility CT-2329 put his hand on my shoulder to tell me something but when I turned to face him his blaster was pointed toward my gut. I felt a sharp pain and everything went silent. I swung my lightsaber out of reflex, relieving CT-2329's head from his body. The rest of the squad pointed their blasters straight toward me. Swinging for my life I chopped through my closest companions. Transmissions are going out to every Jedi to return to Coruscant. I believe this is a trap! DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go back to Coruscant! Wait is that another cruiser? I have to go, they must have traced my transmission. They're coming, if you’re hearing this, RUN!"

Het kunstwerk ‘Order/Disorder’ van Lambert Kamps in het plantsoen in de bocht van de Nieuwe Keizersgracht naar de Plantage Muidergracht. Het is een fascinerend schouwspel van lichtende cirkels die los van elkaar draaien in steeds veranderende snelheden. Het mechanisme maakt daarbij wel een krakend geluid.

The artwork ‘Order/Disorder’ van Lambert Kamps in the small park in the curve of the Nieuwe Keizersgracht to the Plantage Muidergracht. It is a fascinating display of lighting circles which are turning indepently of each other in ever changing speeds. The mechanism is making a continuing squeaking noise.

My mini figure sized AAL. It will hold 20 troopers. I don't have 20 First Order Stormtroopers as of yet so don't mind the Imperials.
The “Out of Order” Installation, which consists of 12 Tumbling Telephone Boxes, was created by David Mach, one of the UK’s most successful artists and former lecturer at Sculpture School in Kingston, in 1989.
I must add that wandering around the beautiful historic town of Kingston upon Thames was a real pleasure, particularly along the river bank.

España - Ciudad Real - Viso del Marqués - Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz
***
ENGLISH:
It was built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz. It is currently the headquarters of the General Archive of the Navy.
It is one of the two palaces built by this sailor, knight of the Order of Santiago, captain of the Ocean Sea and admiral of the Spanish Navy. It is located next to the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, and since 1948 it has been rented by its owners, the Marquises of Santa Cruz, to the Spanish Navy, who first used it as a Museum of the Spanish Navy and later expanded its functions by also establishing the General Archive of the Navy.
The building was frequented by the first marquis thanks to its location, halfway between Madrid, where the Court was, and Seville, whose port he often went to as the Spanish Navy was anchored there, of which he was admiral during the reign of Philip II.
The palace was nearly destroyed by the Austrian troops of Edward Hamilton during the War of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century, but was saved by the actions of the Marquis's chaplain, the poet Carlos de Praves, thanks to whom we can admire it today. It suffered some damage due to the Lisbon earthquake in 1755, which collapsed the ceiling of the hall of honour, where the great fresco depicting the Battle of Lepanto had been painted, and toppled the four corner towers, which the chronicles of Philip II described as magnificent.
In it we can find maritime objects from the period. A figurehead belonging to a ship commanded by the Marquis is noteworthy. During the War of Independence, the French razed it, and by the time the Civil War came it had served as a granary, school, stable, prison and hospital, until in 1948 and at the request of Julio Guillén Tato, director of the Naval Museum, Mrs. Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendant of Álvaro de Bazán, rented it to the Navy for 90 years as a museum-archive, which is its current function. Also, in the adjoining parish church there is a 4m long stuffed crocodile attached to one of the vaults, which was offered by the Marquis as a votive offering upon his return from one of his voyages.
Between March and April 1823, King Ferdinand VII spent the night there, after leaving Madrid for Seville, before the entry of the French contingent called the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, about whose stay Ferdinand VII did not write a word in his travel diary. The palace was declared a National Monument in 1931 and was restored from 1948 by the Navy under the direction of Admiral Guillén.
The palace was built between 1564 and 1586 with subsequent modifications. It is a square-shaped building in the Renaissance style, built around a Renaissance atrium with a recumbent tomb. The walls and ceilings are covered with frescoes with two themes: mythological scenes on the one hand and naval battles and Italian cities related to the military career of the Marquis and his family on the other. The frescoes are by Italian Mannerist painters, the Péroli family. Upon seeing them, Philip II commissioned them to do work for El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo.
For its construction, the Marquis hired a team of architects, painters and decorators who worked on the building from 1564 to 1586. For some, the design of the building was due to the Italian Giovanni Battista Castello, known as the Bergamasco, who later worked in El Escorial; for others, it was designed, at least in its original plan, by Enrique Egas el Mozo.
The architecture is perceived as typically Spanish, without Italian arches, with smooth walls and square towers at the corners, influenced by the austerity of El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo, within the harmonious relationships characteristic of the Renaissance. The central space is occupied by a porticoed courtyard that, together with the staircase, forms a typically mannerist ensemble understood as an elegant and courtly style that goes beyond the merely architectural framework.

ESPAÑOL:
Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI por Álvaro de Bazán, primer marqués de Santa Cruz. Actualmente es la sede del Archivo General de la Marina.
Se trata de uno de los dos palacios construidos este marino, caballero de la Orden de Santiago, capitán del Mar Océano y almirante de la Marina española. Está situado al lado de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, y desde el año 1948 es alquilado por parte de sus propietarios, los marqueses de Santa Cruz, a la Armada Española, quien primero lo destinó a Museo de la Marina Española y más tarde amplió sus funciones estableciendo también el Archivo General de la Marina.
El edificio era frecuentado por el primer marqués gracias a su ubicación, a medio camino entre Madrid, donde estaba la Corte, y Sevilla, a cuyo puerto acudía a menudo al mantener allí anclada la Armada Española, de la cual fue almirante durante el reinado de Felipe II.
El palacio estuvo a punto de ser destruido por las tropas austracistas de Edward Hamilton durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española a principios del siglo XVIII, salvándose por la actuación del capellán del marqués, el poeta Carlos de Praves, gracias a lo cual hoy podemos admirarlo. Sufrió algunos daños a causa del terremoto de Lisboa en 1755: el cual hundió el techo del salón de honor, donde se había pintado el gran fresco que representaba la batalla de Lepanto, y desmochó las cuatro torres de las esquinas, que las crónicas de Felipe II describían como magníficas.
En él podemos encontrar objetos marineros de la época. Llama la atención un mascarón de proa perteneciente a una nave que dirigió el marqués. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia, los franceses lo arrasaron, y para cuando llegó la Guerra Civil había servido de granero, colegio, establo, cárcel y hospital, hasta que en 1948 y a instancias de Julio Guillén Tato, director del Museo Naval, doña Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendiente de Álvaro de Bazán se lo rentó a la Armada por 90 años como museo-archivo, que es en la actualidad su función. Asimismo, en la iglesia parroquial aledaña hay un cocodrilo disecado de 4m de largo adosado a una de las bóvedas, que fue ofrecido por el marqués como exvoto al regreso de uno de sus viajes.
Entre marzo y abril de 1823, el rey Fernando VII pernoctó allí, tras abandonar Madrid rumbo a Sevilla, ante la entrada del contingente francés llamado los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, de cuya estancia Fernando VII no escribió ni una palabra en su diario del viaje. El palacio fue declarado Monumento Nacional en 1931 siendo restaurado a partir de 1948 por la Armada bajo la dirección del Almirante Guillén.
El palacio fue construido entre 1564 y 1586 con modificaciones posteriores, y se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista articulado en torno a un atrio renacentista con una tumba yacente. Los muros y techos se hallan cubiertos de frescos de doble temática: por un lado, escenas mitológicas y, por otro, batallas navales y ciudades italianas relacionadas con la trayectoria militar del marqués y de sus familiares. Los frescos se deben a unos pintores manieristas italianos, los Péroli. Al verlos, Felipe II les encargaría trabajos para El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo.
Para su construcción, el marqués contrató a un equipo de arquitectos, pintores y decoradores que trabajaron en la obra desde 1564 hasta 1586. Para algunos, el diseño del edificio se debió al italiano Giovanni Battista Castello, conocido como el Bergamasco, que más tarde trabajó en El Escorial; para otros lo trazó, al menos en su plan original, Enrique Egas el Mozo.
La arquitectura se percibe como típica española, sin las arquerías italianas, con paramentos lisos y torres cuadradas en las esquinas, influidos por la austeridad de El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo, dentro de las relaciones armónicas características del Renacimiento. El espacio central está ocupado por un patio porticado que junto con la escalera forma un conjunto típicamente manierista entendido como estilo elegante y cortesano que desborda el marco meramente arquitectónico.
Old London Road is also home to Kingston Antiques Centre, where there are more than 100 dealers offering a startling array of antiques and quality vintage items. The large, rambling building provides space over two floors and has retained some of its original features that provide nooks and crannies framed by an imposing double staircase.
Well-known within the antiques trade it attracts dealers from all over the world and is a favourite filming location for the media, hosting programmes such as Bargain Hunt, The Bill, House Gift and Law & Order.
Specialist dealers here offer everything from furniture to clocks and watches, silver and gold items, mirrors, paintings, sculptures and prints. One of the largest collections of vintage jewellery in the south of England is also housed in a series of cabinets lining the walls. While the Vintage Fashion Room features a collection of clothes from the 40s, Retro, 80s plus designer wear.
The last time I'd been to Edinburgh it was still DBS Class 67s on the Fife Circle trains. Now it is brand new DRS Class 68s. 68006 "Daring" has just led 2K14, with 68007 "Valiant" out of sight on the rear. I must say, I'm quite taken with these new locomotives - they make a fantastic sound.
I am going to take some time and stop uploading photos to flickr for a while. I need a little break from flickr and photography to get inspiration back. I feel like I am only shooting f*cking annoying pictures one after another... I'll probably stop my activity on flickr completely for some time, so please excuse me for not answering your comments.
Besides, I should consider very seriously to face a photography project on my own, as a challenge to see if there really is some talent or vision or whatever on me or it's just a lot of free time taking stupid photos. I am not saying "oh poor me, i'm so mediocre" but only that I feel like it's time to start thinking photography seriously, and try to put a clear intention on my work, not just casual street shots or friends and family portraits; and feel like I am really taking a quantum leap.
Maybe tomorrow I'll change my mind and start uploading tons of photos to flickr again, but for now, I want to take a break and think about it.
Thanks all for your understanding and your sincere encouragement. All your words are extremely valued.
Cheers
Late night chicken nuggets run with my girls. Still can’t dine-in in this crazy world we live in. Hope things get back to normal soon.
