""Absurdism and humor are a recurring theme in Robin Rhode's work. Art is a way for him to decode real life experiences. This work is based on the story of his neighbor, who one morning found his car on bricks.
In this drawing intervention Robin Rhode plays with the second and third dimensionality. At the same time, he also questions the idea of ownership by appropriating or perhaps 'stealing back' a story or deed.""

1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible
The Impala name was first used for the full-sized 1956 General Motors Motorama show car that bore Corvette-like design cues, especially the grille. It was named Impala after the graceful African antelope, and this animal became the car's logo.
The Impala became a separate series, adding a four-door hardtop and four-door sedan, to the two-door Sport Coupe and convertible. Sport Coupes featured a shortened roof line and wrap-over back window. The standard engine was an I6, while the base V8 was the carryover 283 cu in (4.6 L), at 185 hp. Optional were a 283 cu in with 290 hp (220 kW) and 348 cu in (5.7 L) V8 up to 335 hp (250 kW). Standard were front and rear armrests, an electric clock, dual sliding sun visors, and crank-operated front vent windows. A contoured hooded instrument panel held deep-set gauges. A six-way power seat was a new option, as was "Speedminder", for the driver to set a needle at a specific speed and a buzzer would sound if the preset were exceeded.
The 1960 Impala models reinstated three round taillights on each side, and a white band running along the rear fenders.
The available V8s were reduced to seven, in 283-cu in or 348-cu in displacements. The carbureted Turbo-Fire 283 cu in V8 could have either 170 or 230 hp. The 348 cu in was available in 250 to 320 hp with a 350 hp Special Super Turbo-Thrust with triple two-barrel carburetors, 11.25:1 compression ratio, and dual exhausts. Fuel injection was no longer an option on full-size Chevrolets. New to the options list was speed and cruise control. Production was 490,000 units.
Udny Castle is a tower house in the parish of Udny, southwest of the village of Pitmedden and northeast of the hamlet of Udny Green, Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. The area is generally flat but the castle is sited on the highest ground and can be seen for a considerable distance. Its exact construction date is unknown, but its foundations probably date from the late 14th or early 15th century. Additional storeys were added and a later extension, described as a "modern mansion", was incorporated but subsequently demolished. It is a Category A listed building.
Sited on the highest area in a generally flat terrain, the castle can be seen from a considerable distance. The exact construction date is not known but it was probably initially constructed by the Udny family in the 14th or 15th century. The property is first recorded when it is shown on a charter for David II instigated by Ronald of Uldney.
MacGibbon and Ross suggested a construction date of the turn of the 16–17th centuries, but the indentation of the upper floors and thickness of the foundation walls suggest a much earlier date. The main construction work of the keep is believed to have spanned over 100 years and been undertaken by three consecutive lairds; it is reported to have "ruined them all".
The Udny family also owned Knockhall Castle and lived there until 1734 when Knockhall was destroyed by fire; they then returned to Udny. Jamie Fleeman, the Laird's fool, was responsible for saving the family papers from being destroyed in the fire.
The castle was abandoned sometime around 1775 then repair work was undertaken in 1801.
Colonel John Robert Fullerton Udny inherited the estate in 1802. He had been an army officer since 1797 but retired after his marriage to Emily Fitzhugh in 1812. Thereafter he only visited the estate occasionally as his main residence was in London. The couple had one son, John Augustus Udny, but he died a bachelor in 1859. The Colonel's wife died in 1846 after which he had an affair with Ann Allat whom he married on 2 January 1854. However, the couple had a son, John Henry Udny, born out of wedlock on 9 May 1853. A legal case was heard by the House of Lords as to whether John Henry was entitled to inherit the estate as his parents had been unmarried when he was born. The legal arguments describe how the Colonel had wished to do restoration work on the castle but could not afford to do so "owing chiefly to his connection with the turf".
The Colonel died in 1861. The House of Lords had decided in favour of John Henry and he inherited the estate as "though illegitimate at his birth, [he] was legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents".
In 1887, it is recorded as owned by John Hay Udny and had been in the family's ownership for several centuries.
Bartizans were included when an extra storey was added in the 17th century.
A mansion house in the baronial style was added in 1874–75 to the design of architect James Maitland Wardrop (of the Wardrop and Anderson company) but was subsequently demolished during the 1960s. Wardrop's son, Hew, was also an architect and undertook some of the decorative work at the castle. He died suddenly of appendicitis while working at the castle on 4 November 1887.
In 1964, restoration work was begun on the original tower house and the mansion house was demolished. Historic Scotland listed the castle as a Category A listed building in April 1971.

Since time immemorial, attempts have been made to establish borders. The sense of ownership has led to drawing lines on a map: sometimes a river, other times a mountain range, a mark on a desert,... a concrete wall or a barbed wire fence and broken glass. Too many centuries attend, undaunted, the mosaic of earth that man has created with the sole purpose of separating and limiting. And this will be the cause of so many conflicts and wars. The boundaries of respect should have been based on proper upbringing, but...
The Jerónimos Monastery or Hieronymites Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Portuguese pronunciation: [muʃˈtɐjɾu duʃ ʒɨˈɾɔnimuʃ]), is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus river in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal; it was secularised on 28 December 1833 by state decree and its ownership transferred to the charitable institution, Real Casa Pia de Lisboa.[1]
The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém, in 1983. [Wikipedia]

Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

The Hertefeld Castle estate, consisting of a castle ruin and attached park, stands in the town of Weeze in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was established in the fourteenth century.
The castle was first mentioned as a knight's seat in 1322. However, it appears that a family of this name lived nearby for significantly longer, since a man named Theodoricus de Hertevenlde was first mentioned in 1179.
In the fourteenth century the castle was the center of an independent domain. However, this independence disappeared in the following years de to increasing subservience to the dukedom of Cleves. In 1322, the domain excluding the castle was sold in 1322 by Wilhelm von Herteveld to Graf Dietrich VII of Cleves. Three years later, the castle too entered the ownership of Cleves. However, the castle was later returned to the Herteveld family in the person of Stephan II von Herteveld, but now as a loan from the house of Cleves.
Following the death of the count Stephan IV in 1485, the family was divided via his two sons into two branches. With the senior branch acquiring through marriage the castle of Kolk in Uedam, Hertefeld castle passed to the junior branch under count Heinrich. This branch later died out in the direct line with Elbert von und zu Hertefeld, who however transferred the estate to his stepbrother Elbert von Steenhaus. Facing financial difficulties, Elbert in turn passed it to his relative Jobst Gerhard von Hertefeld, thereby reunifying the property of the two branches. The hartefeld properties had by this time become quite extensive, incorporating not just Uedam and Weeze but also Boetzelaer castle, Hoennepel, Kervenheim and Zelhem (today part of Bronckhorst).
Jobst Gerhard's father had previously through his good relations with the Duke of Brandenburg, Friedrich Wilhelm, inherited the property of Liebenberg in Brandenburg, which he later made the principle residence of his family. His grandson, Samuel von und zu Hertefeld, was raised to the rank of Freiherr by Friedrich I of Prussia, who frequently lodged at Hertefeld castle during his tours of inspection along the lower Rhine. Another prominent guest was Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
The male line of the family died out in 1867 with Karl von Hertefeld, whose grandniece Alexandrine inherited the property. Since she was married to Philipp Konrad zu Eulenburg, Hertefeld became incorporated into his family property. Alexandrine's son Philipp zu Eulenburg became a personal friend of Wilhelm II, who raised him in 1900 to the rank of Furst. Since the family had also acquired the title of Graf from the king of Sweden, he and his successors were henceforth able to style themselves "Fürst zu Eulenburg und Hertefeld, Graf von Sandels". Philipp himself became notorious only a few years later as a result of the Harden-Eulenburg-Affäre, in which he became a target of the influential publicist Maximilian Harden. In several court cases, he defended himself against allegations of homosexuality without being convicted.
Alexandrines second, Botho Sigwart, became the first family member for some time to make Hertefeld his long-term residence. His opera "Songs of Euripides", which premiered in 1915 at the royal Staatstheater Stuttgart. The principal line of the family returned to Hertefeld at the end of the Second World War, after their principal residence at Liebenburg was confiscated by the East German government.

(5/5) Premises by premises, public space by public space, inch by inch we hand over our belongings, our ownership to be treated back to safety and security. We trusted to be treated the way we should. We are trading our lives now. When our quarantines are broken, permissions issued, it is the system that is ready to 'treat' us, us and our diseases, us and our corpses, us and our insurances. Pegs return to stations, ready to turn and let turn.
Interestingly, an equality comes with this disease. We all have to line up to get inside the supermarket to get toilet paper or bleach. We all have to buy the unpopular pasta brand now. We all have to report to the young admission desk clerk to walk into the clinic. It is all military and we must be grateful. We certainly don't want to die like those people who are not as fortunate as we are.
What we treasure more, some consciously and some not, is the untouchable world inside, the ocean of consciousness, the land of the truly free. We hide in it, take refuge in it, treasure it.
With the question of how are you doing these days, we take our defenses up. What? Now you need to know what goes inside? "I'm all right. It's a small price to pay."
The fact is it is a huge price to pay. Here in America being was limited by confusion due to an abundance of options and now we are limited by our inabilities or even worse by lack of permissions. We lost permissions and those who do not want it, have to learn how to live without.
Old confusions due to a plethora of options are gone. Old choices are gone, old options, old confusions. We are limited by lacks, lack of permissions.
Now confusion belongs to those who push the limits without permissions or beyond permissions. Confusion belongs to those trying to separate themselves from collective security that government aparatus promises with no guarantee.
Mitwitz Moated Castle is located in the market town of Mitwitz—between Coburg and Kronach—in the Steinach Valley, at the confluence of the Föritz and Steinach rivers.
Mitwitz Moated Castle was first mentioned in historical records in 1266. At that time, it was held as a fief of the Bishopric of Bamberg by the Barons of Schaumberg. The lower levels of the north wing and the northern corner tower were already in existence then.
In 1425, the Lords of Rosenau—knights who held extensive estates in the surrounding area—became the owners of the castle. Descendants of the family formed a line of mintmasters from Coburg who became the new owners of the castle and the village of Mitwitz.
During the German Peasants' War, the castle was looted and partially destroyed by fire in 1525. In the years that followed, only makeshift repairs could be carried out before Hieronymus von Würtzburg acquired the property in 1575. At the end of the 16th century, Hans Veit I von Würtzburg—a member of the noble von Würtzburg family—commissioned the castle's reconstruction and expansion into its current external form. He engaged the master builder Daniel Engelhardt for the project; Engelhardt had previously planned the expansion of the Rosenberg Fortress in Kronach. The estate remained in the possession of the Barons von Würtzburg until the death of Ludwig Freiherr von Würtzburg in 1922, at the age of 77. As his daughter Annie von Würtzburg had married Theodor von Cramer-Klett Jr.—son of the industrialist Theodor von Cramer-Klett—in 1903, ownership of the castle passed to the von Cramer-Klett family. Towards the end of the Second World War, the Frankfurt City Library was relocated to the Mitwitz moated castle.
The Renaissance moated castle is a three-story, four-winged structure featuring gable roofs and four corner towers. Its interior houses several points of interest. The central courtyard contains an 18th-century Neptune fountain and a replica of the sandstone statue *Der fränkische Ritter* (The Franconian Knight)—created by Pankraz Wagner between 1572 and 1577—the original of which stands on the town fountain in Weismain. The castle chapel is located in the west wing. The upper floors contain various rooms displaying many original furnishings dating from the 16th to the 20th century. The Mirror Room features a cycle of paintings from 1755 attributed to Georg Anton Urlaub.

Absolutely gorgeous, heritage style, dream home ( new or old I am not really sure, but the look is timeless ).
Pride of ownership radiates from this well cared for home.
Landscaping is truly wonderful. 10 ft high sunflowers, manicured box hedges, emerald cedars, green lawn, potted flowers, and even lit up wreaths accent the front porch.
Stonework, pillars, cozy enclosed porch with ceiling fans, upper deck and look at that orange front door.
So much for the eye to appreciate.

Constructed in 1845-1846, the Old Market House was once the focal point of community life during Galena's heyday. This building served as the city market until 1910, during the decades of Galena’s greatest prosperity as a river port, lead-mining center, and commercial hub. The building also served as the seat of Galena government until 1938, and for years had two jail cells.
The Old Market House is a handsome Greek Revival building composed of a two-story brick central section topped with a frame cupola. One-story frame wings, projecting from the north and south, include covered porticoes. The central section’s first floor consists of an entry hall with staircases to the basement and second floor, and a large room providing exhibit and meeting space. The wings hold temporary local history exhibits and provide meeting space for community groups. The second floor contains the former city council chamber and city surveyor’s office.
Ownership of the building was transferred to the State of Illinois in 1947, and the Old Market House was restored in 1954-55. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It now operates as a state historic site under the auspices of the Illinois Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Natural Resources, and serves as both a welcome center and museum of local social history.

The village is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1066 as Tarente. By 1280 the village name had changed to Tarent Moneketon denoting ownership by monks.
That's what makes it ours: being born on it, working on it, dying on it. That makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it

Balaklava ist eine Stadt an der Südwestküste der Krim, als Teil des Bezirks Balaklavsky, im Osten Sewastopols.
Die Balaklava-Bucht ist eine der bequemsten Buchten am Schwarzen Meer zum Anlegen von Schiffen. Sie ist eng und tief, es gibt keine Stürme darin.
We find ourselves in an industrial warehouse area for "Switcher Saturday", where Niagara Junction #16 is working a couple of factory tracks. The NIAJ was a 44 mile switching road, that had eight of these 1,030 hp GE E-10B steeple cab electrics, built in 1952. With ownership by the PC, EL, and LV, after the Conrail merger, it was decided to absorb this operation into Conrail. Between 1976 and 1977, Conrail slowly replaced the electrics with diesels, killing off another juicy cool operation. Some of the units were sold off for further service on the MTA (Metro North).
In ownership since 1999, and recently revived. Technically it is sound now, the exterior needs some work. But isn't that how a Ritmo should be?
So many want to see the full car, so here it is.
One of 12 remaining Horch 853s, this '37 Sport Cabriolet by Glaser is in exquisite condition.Although not nearly as well known outside of Germany as the Mercedes, which was it's big rival in the 30s, Horch (Hermann Goering had 5) was just as exclusive as the big Mercedes, and was the Flagship for the AutoUnion group of 4 (thus the 4 circles, which included Audi, DKW and Wanderer.)
August Horch established the company on November 14, 1899 in the district of Ehrenfeld, Cologne. August Horch had previously worked as a production manager for Karl Benz. On May 10, 1904 he founded the Horch & Cie. Motorwagenwerke AG, a joint-stock company in Zwickau (Kingdom of Saxony). The city of Zwickau was the capital of the South Western Saxon County and one of Saxony's industrial centres at that time.
After troubles with the Horch chief financial officer, August Horch founded a second company on 16 July 1909, the August Horch Automobilwerke in Zwickau. He had to rename the company because Horch was already a registered brand and he did not hold the rights to his own name. On 25 April 1910 the name Audi Automobilwerke was entered in the company's register. Audi is the Latin translation of horch, from the German verb "horchen", which means "listen!" (compare English "hark"). Very clever to keep his name by using the Latin version, the Audi name was proposed by a son of one of Horch's business partners from Zwickau.
In 1932 both companies from Zwickau (Horch and Audi) merged with the DKW brand and the Wanderer car-production facilities to become the Auto Union corporation of Saxony. The Silver Arrow racing cars of the Auto Union racing team in Zwickau—developed by Ferdinand Porsche and Robert Eberan von Eberhorst, and driven by Bernd Rosemeyer, Hans Stuck, Tazio Nuvolari and Ernst von Delius—became known the world over in the 1930s.
The companies facilities and records, including design information was almost completely destroyed in WW II, making restoration of any of the pre-war cars very difficult. Audi, and DKW were resurrected after the war with DKW with it's eccentric noisy 2 and later 3 cylinder two stroke engines, expiring in the early '60s, leaving the Audi as the last 'man' standing to carry on August's vision. Ironically, Auto Union came under Daimler-Benz ownership in 1957 and fortunately for Audi, was purchased by the Volkswagen Group in 1964, who needed a flagship car, and Autounion's 4 circles were given new life. But they never reached the heights of the pre-war Horch for sheer, in your face elegance.

A 'laird' in Scotland is the owner of a large estate. For the most part the ownership is hereditary. It is a relic of a feudal system that was never dismantled.

11:10 Bridgenorth to Kidderminster. Locomotive 37901, known as "Mirrlees Pioneer," is a unique, experimental British Rail Class 37/9 diesel locomotive built in 1963 as D6850 (later 37150) and converted in 1986. It is the sole surviving Class 37 equipped with a Mirrlees Blackstone MB275T engine, distinguishing it from standard Class 37s, and it remains operational for mainline and heritage service under Europhoenix ownership. seen here decending Erdington Bank during the SVR celebrating 65 years of class 37s summer diesel gala.
Having performed a double run around on the siding here just west of MP 89 on the former Maine Central Mountain Subdivision, 4266 and 573 are now positioned on the east end of the train while 216 is on the west. The train is departing west and will travel another 10 miles on the rarely used trackage to Quebec Junction where the Beecher Falls branch once left the mainline to continue into the north country. This special event is an annual excursion sponsored by the 470 Railroad Club of Portland, ME that owns the 4266 and much of the other historic equipment found in North Conway.
Boston and Maine power is no stranger to Fabyan and in fact the B&M once had it's own branchline passing through to the Cog Railway base station. Even long after that was abandoned the B&M retained trackage rights over the MEC to this point. Furthermore B&M power often pooled with the MEC during the decades of joint ownership, as seen in this image of a Maine Central train westbound taken from the opposite end of the station: www.nashuacitystation.org/resource/9304011160/ As for the station itself, I'm not sure exactly when it was built, but I believe it was around 1910. The last scheduled passenger train called in 1958 and for many years it was a popular and quite good restaurant that sadly does not appear to have survived the pandemic loss of business. Here's hoping it finds another life!

Alfa’s of this age are known for rust, however, against the odds, this early 33 looked absolutely mint, with no rust in sight! It appears to have returned to the road in 2016 after a long slumber. Since then it has clocked up very little mileage - probably being used as a weekend motor! According to HML, it is one of two 1985 Alfa 33s left on the road.

The oldest historical record of a building at the location of the current castle dates to 1391. In that year, the De Haar family received the castle and the surrounding lands as a fiefdom from Hendrik van Woerden. The castle remained in the ownership of the De Haar family until 1440, when the last male heir died childless. The castle then passed to the Van Zuylen family. In 1482, the castle was burned down and the walls were destroyed, except for the parts that did not have a military function. These parts probably were incorporated into the castle when it was rebuilt during the early 16th century. The castle is mentioned in an inventory of the possessions of Steven van Zuylen from 1506, and again in a list of fiefdoms in the province Utrecht from 1536. The oldest image of the castle dates to 1554 and shows that the castle had been largely rebuilt by then. After 1641, when Johan van Zuylen van de Haar died childless, the castle seems to have gradually fallen into ruins. The castle escaped total destruction by the French during the Rampjaar 1672.
In 1801 the last Catholic van Zuylen in the Netherlands, the bachelor Anton-Martinus van Zuylen van Nijevelt (1708–1801), bequeathed the property to his cousin Jean-Jacques van Zuylen van Nyevelt (1752–1846) of the Catholic branch in the Southern Netherlands.
In 1887, Jean-Jacques' grandson, Etienne Gustave Frédéric Baron van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar (1860–1934), married Baroness Hélène de Rothschild, of the Rothschild family. When Etienne inherited the ruined castle in 1890 from his grandfather, the couple set about rebuilding the castle, fully financed by Hélène's family.[2] For the restoration of the castle, they contracted famous architect Pierre Cuypers. He would work on this project for 20 years (from 1892 to 1912).[3] The castle has 200 rooms and 30 bathrooms, of which only a small number on the ground and first floor have been opened to be viewed by the public. Cuypers placed a statue of himself in a corner of the gallery on the first floor.
The castle was equipped by Cuypers with the most modern gadgets, such as electrical lighting with its own generator, and central heating by way of steam. This installation is internationally recognized as an industrial monument.[citation needed] The kitchen was for that period also very modern and still has a large collection of copper pots and pans and an enormous furnace approximately 6 metres long, which is heated with peat or coals. The tiles in the kitchen are decorated with the coats of arms of the families De Haar and Van Zuylen, which were for this purpose especially baked in Franeker. Cuypers emphasized the difference between the old and new walls by using different kinds of bricks. For the interior Cuypers made extensive use of cast iron.
Many details in the castle refer to the Rothschild family, such as the Stars of David on the balconies of the knight's hall and the coat of arms of the family right underneath on the hearth in the library. The coat of arms of the Van Zuylen family are omnipresent. Their motto is on the hearth in the knight's hall (A majoribus et virtute)
The interior of the castle is decorated with richly ornamented woodcarving, reminiscent of the interior of a Roman Catholic church. This carving was made in the workshop of Cuypers in Roermond, who even designed the tableware. The interior is furnished with many works from the Rothschild collections, including beautiful old porcelain from Japan and China, and several old Flemish tapestries and paintings with religious illustrations. The centrepiece is a carrier coach of the wife of a Japanese shōgun, which reportedly is only one of two worldwide, the other one being exhibit in Tokyo. Japanese tourists come to De Haar to admire this coach, which was donated from the Rothschilds' collections.
Walking down West Kennet Avenue a line of originally of around 100 pairs of prehistoric standing stones, raised to form a winding 1 1/2 mile ritual link between the pre-existing monuments of Avebury and The Sanctuary. As well as marking the route to Avebury, the stones seem to have acted as grave markers for some members of the Avebury community. South of Avebury, in Wiltshire.
In the 1930s Alexander Keiller, heir to the Keiller marmalade fortune, excavated four graves, all belonging to the Beaker period (about 2500–1800 BC); three contained a single person, but the fourth had the remains of three. These were particularly important people or, possibly, they were buried as sacrificial offerings in some form of ancestor worship. Elsewhere along the Avenue, excavations revealed scatters of human bone, presumably also from burials.
Many of the stones had already disappeared by the time the first record of the Avenue was made, by John Aubrey, in the 17th century. William Stukeley, in the following century, left an account of the massive destruction of the standing stone monuments of Avebury. They were being torn down and broken into fragments for building material.
Alexander Keiller was able to demonstrate that the practice of burying the stones had happened since the Middle Ages when they were possibly associated with pagan worship and considered the work of the devil. Stukeley recorded a similar avenue on the Beckhampton side of the Avebury henge but little of this remains today.
West Kennet Avenue is in the freehold ownership of The National Trust and in English Heritage guardianship. It is managed by The National Trust on behalf of English Heritage, and the two organisations share the cost of managing and maintaining the property.

Edzell Castle is a ruined 16th-century castle, with an early-17th-century walled garden. It is located close to Edzell, and is around 5 miles north of Brechin, in Angus.
Edzell Castle was begun around 1520 by David Lindsay, 9th Earl of Crawford, and expanded by his son, Sir David Lindsay, Lord Edzell, who also laid out the garden in 1604. The castle saw little military action, and was, in its design, construction and use, more of a country house than a defensive structure. It was briefly occupied by English troops during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651. In 1715 it was sold by the Lindsay family, and eventually came into the ownership of the Earl of Dalhousie. It was given into state care in the 1930s, and is now a visitor attraction run by Historic Environment Scotland. The castle consists of the original tower house and building ranges around a courtyard. The adjacent Renaissance walled garden, incorporating intricate relief carvings, is unique in Scotland. It was replanted in the 1930s, and is considered to have links to esoteric traditions, including Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry.
I've been rather obsessed by picturesque, English vernacular architecture since being a young child and pouring over those black and white old Shell Travel Guides in my local library.
Growing up in a Yorkshire mill town of soot blackened terrace houses (as they all still were back in the 60's and 70's) and from a working class family of the time when car ownership was largely unknown, places like this or the Cotswolds near where I live now seemed as exotic and unreachable as Barbados or Positano.
And here I was, like an Elvis fan finally making it to Gracelands, at Elm Hill, Norwich, somewhere I've been been wanting to visit for the best part of 60 years... And the sun came out just as I arrived and disappeared for the rest of the day as I left. Spooky!...I wonder if I have the ability to change the weather? Although the amount of soakings I get while plodding the English countryside I think not.
But it came out for Elm Hill. Can you tell I was very pleased?

Ok I lied...I thought I was done then I realized I hadn't posted this one which just may be my favorite of the lot with the tree framing and bucolic park like setting. So I promise...this is it...11 from the same spot of the same train. And yes, I have enough self awareness to know this is dumb...but then again isn't the entire concept of photographing trains entirely ridiculous on its face?! Anyway....here you go.
This was stop number nine of my chase of Vermont Railway train RDHJ making its 59 mile southbound trip from Rutland to Hoosick Junction where they will interchange with the Berkshire and Eastern Railroad, which operates the Pan Am Southern's ex Boston and Maine west end. They are at MP 2 as they pull into North Bennington to pause in the small yard here to to switch out the Whitman's Feed elevator before continuing down across the New York state line to the interchange.
The train is led by leased Providence and Worcester Railroad 2010 which was built new for Penn Central in Oct. 1969 as PC 7808. It passed to Conrail 7 years later and was sold to the PW in 1984, and then rebuilt in 1999 at Paducah and is now classified as a GP38-3. Trailing are VTR 210 (a rebuilt GP38-2 purchased from GATX that was originally blt. Oct. 1971 as Baltimore and Ohio GP40 4034), 432 (EMD SD70M-2 blt. Dec. 2006 as FEC 103), and GMTX 2202 (EMD GP38-2 originally blt. May 1972 as Penn Central 7943).
As for this line, it can trace its history back to the Western Vermont Railroad which was incorporated in 1845 and opened between Rutland and the New York state line south of Bennington in July 1852. In 1865 it was reorganized and renamed the Bennington and Rutland Railroad. Other reorganizations followed until the line was purchased by the Rutland Railroad in 1899 which by 1902 reached its peak at a 413 mile system. In 1904 the Rutland came under control of the New York Central which later sold half its shares to the New Haven. The railroad entered receivership in 1938 and the two big Eastern roads divested their shares to local ownership in 1941. Reorganized one last time in 1950 as the Rutland Railway. Strikes in 1952 and 1960 led management to finally give up and the entire railroad was shut down in 1961 and then in January 1963 the ICC approved total abandonment of the road. But six months later the state of Vermont stepped in to purchase the core of the system from Bennington to Burlington which began operations here in January 1964 as the new Vermont Railway. It's hard to comprehend, but now this route has been operated by the VTR longer than it was by the Rutland!
