Le château de la Mothe-Chandeniers est un château situé sur la commune des Trois-Moutiers au nord du département de la Vienne, en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Édifié vers le xiiie siècle dans le Loudunais, en Anjou, il prend d'abord le nom de La Mothe-Bauçay (ou La Mothe-Baussay), du nom de la famille qui en est propriétaire. Au gré des héritages, le domaine échoit en 1448 à une branche de la maison de Rochechouart, aussi seigneur de Champdeniers, qui donne son nom définitif au château. L'un de ces représentants, François de Rochechouart, chassé de la cour royale pour avoir participé à la Fronde, s'y installe. Le faste qu'il y déploie le mène à la faillite personnelle, le domaine est vendu en 1668. Dès lors il passe entre les mains de nombreuses familles françaises, nobles ou roturières.
Embelli au début du xixe siècle, le château est reconstruit dans les années 1870 dans le style néo-gothique. Les alentours sont également aménagés de sorte que l'édifice est entouré d'eau, comme au château d'Azay-le-Rideau.
Très endommagé par un incendie en 1932, l'édifice se dégrade peu à peu et tombe en ruine, malgré les tentatives de restauration des propriétaires successifs.
En décembre 2017, le château est racheté par des milliers d'internautes, au terme d'une campagne de financement lancée à l'initiative de Dartagnans et Adopte un Château, qui a largement dépassé les frontières de la France. Il est dorénavant la propriété de la « SAS Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers », qui réunit les nombreux propriétaires, dont les objectifs principaux sont de stopper la dégradation de l'édifice1 et d'exploiter le château, les dépendances ainsi que le domaine d'une superficie de 2,1 hectares.
The Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers is a castle located in the town of Trois-Moutiers in the north of the Vienne department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
Built around the thirteenth century in Loudunais, Anjou, it first took the name of La Mothe-Bauçay (or La Mothe-Baussay), from the name of the family that owns it. According to the inheritances, the domain fell in 1448 to a branch of the house of Rochechouart, also lord of Champdeniers, which gives its final name to the castle. One of these representatives, François de Rochechouart, expelled from the royal court for having participated in the Fronde, settled there. The splendor he displayed there led him to personal bankruptcy, the estate was sold in 1668. From then on it passed into the hands of many French families, nobles and commoners.
Embellished at the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was rebuilt in the 1870s in the neo-Gothic style. The surroundings are also arranged so that the building is surrounded by water, as at the castle of Azay-le-Rideau.
Badly damaged by a fire in 1932, the building gradually deteriorated and fell into ruin, despite the attempts at restoration by successive owners.
In December 2017, the castle was bought by thousands of Internet users, at the end of a fundraising campaign launched at the initiative of Dartagnans and Adopt a Castle, which has gone far beyond the borders of France. It is now the property of the "SAS Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers", which brings together the many owners, whose main objectives are to stop the deterioration of the building1 and to operate the castle, the outbuildings as well as the estate. 'an area of 2.1 hectares.

London & North Eastern Railway steam locomotive A3 class Pacific # 4472 (Flying Scotsman) with its train is seen while on the U.S. tour at Hartford Union Station, Hartford, Connecticut, October 13, 1969. The photographer that took this photo was Allan W Styffe. This station was a former New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company property, but at this time was operated by PC (Penn Central).
The crowd is really out to see this steam locomotive and train.
Most of the visitors are standing on the station's middle platform, while the tracks on this side of the station were primarily used for the trains that were operating on the Midland and Highland routes. The tracks located on the other side of the middle platform were for the Springfield Line to New Haven.
Notice the appliance added to the British steam locomotive for U.S. operation, that includes (headlight, standard steam whistle, knuckle coupler, bell, etc.) It appears that the second tender is an auxiliary water tender. Notice the added pilot section (cow catcher) that has been added to the locomotive for operation in America.
Retired from regular service in 1963 after covering 2,076,000 miles (3,341,000 km). The Flying Scotsman gained considerable fame in preservation under the ownership of Alan Pegler, William McAlpine, Tony Marchington and finally the National Railway Museum. As well as hauling enthusiast specials in the United Kingdom, the locomotive toured extensively in the United States (from 1969 to 1973) and Australia (from 1988 to 1989). Flying Scotsman has been described as the world's most famous steam locomotive.

Mormon Row Historic District - Mormon Row is a line of homestead complexes along the Jackson-Moran Road near the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The rural historic landscape's period of significance includes the construction of the Andy Chambers, T.A. Moulton and John Moulton farms from 1908 to the 1950s. Six building clusters and a separate ruin illustrate Mormon settlement in the area and comprise such features as drainage systems, barns, fields and corrals. Apart from John and T.A. Moulton, other settlers in the area were Joseph Eggleston, Albert Gunther, Henry May, Thomas Murphy and George Riniker. The area is also known as Antelope Flats, situated between the towns of Moose and Kelly. It is a popular destination for tourists and photographers on account of the historic buildings, the herds of bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background. The alluvial soil to the east of Blacktail Butte was more suitable than most locations in Jackson Hole for farming, somewhat hampered by a lack of readily available water. The Mormon homesteaders began to arrive in the 1890s from Idaho, creating a community called "Gros Ventre", with a total of 27 homesteads. The Mormon settlers tended to create clustered communities, in contrast to the isolated homesteads more typical of Jackson Hole. Mormon Row was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_Row_Historic_District]
Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. It is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding National Forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world. Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first White explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s. Efforts to preserve the region as a national park commenced in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the major peaks of the Teton Range. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park. Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any U.S. National Park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years. Grand Teton National Park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found there. More than 1,000 species of vascular plants, dozens of species of mammals, 300 species of birds, more than a dozen fish species and a few species of reptiles and amphibians exist. Due to various changes in the ecosystem, some of them human-induced, efforts have been made to provide enhanced protection to some species of native fish and the increasingly threatened whitebark pine. Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, fishing and other forms of recreation. There are more than 1,000 drive-in campsites and over 200 miles (320 km) of hiking trails that provide access to backcountry camping areas. Noted for world-renowned trout fishing, the park is one of the few places to catch Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Grand Teton has several National Park Service-run visitor centers, and privately operated concessions for motels, lodges, gas stations and marinas.

These Alfa Romeo's were coming from Spettacolo Sportivo at Zandvoort Circuit.
2025 and under I-Squared ownership, Arriva Midlands got all their remaining older livery vehicles at Shrewsbury depot into the latest livery. Quite surprisingly, the last three Optare Solo SRs were so treated, considering under the old order, repaints were lacking, the majority of Solo SRs were been parked up and scrapped, with older Solos drafted in to replace them in some cases.
It would be assumed money was spent on the last three, and in fairness they do look smart. 2517 shines well on the early morning July sunshine, having just passed through Gobowen, as it operates the Saturday - 53 Ellesmere to Oswestry, a 'stand alone' day duty, i.e. not interworking with the X5 service as per Monday to Friday.
This particular bus when new, was loaned / hired out to assist with the Arriva Malta operation and operated as 'BUS 304', before returning to the UK and been allocated to Derby depot as intended, where the fleet there had a mass replacement in 2008/9.
The moon rises over the Soo Line east of Argonne where a pump house still stands along the right-of-way on the railroad's mainline from Minneapolis to Sault Ste. Marie. The tracks here are idle and have not been used for years, unfortunately, under CN ownership. Meanwhile, this Soo Line relic has lasted providing direct Soo Line evidence.
This photo was over a year in the making. I zipped past Argonne in November 2018 and spotted the structure in the trees but simply kept driving towards the former Nicollet Badger Northern locomotive sitting at NBNR Junction east of here. Over the year, I really had wished I would have stopped at grabbed a shot. I am glad I waited as this scene was just too good - a 30 second exposure showing layers of clouds roll in front of the moon.

In ownership since 1998. Looking at the vegetation around it, it hasn't driven in a while. Not much seems to have changed since 2017 (see comments). It hasn't been on the road since 2016. (at least legally, since it hasn't had its inspection since then)

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
Around 1907 the fort was bought by the Windsor Richards family who converted it into a house. This included installing parquet flooring in the casemates and lavish decorative features. They also built a 2 bedroom summerhouse at the front of the island. When the house was compulsory purchased in 1940 the internal fittings were auctioned by Harrods and the catalogue still exists.
After WWII the fort was then acquired by a local solicitor who rented the property, and the travel writer Norman Lewis is recorded as staying there in 1947- 1948. The fort was sold to a Tenby businessman in 1962 and in March 1968 the fort was turned into a zoo. the zoo and had two operators before relocating in 1979. The fort has effectively stood empty since this time.
While BNSF maintains ownership of 28th Street yard, it’s not uncommon to find all sorts of locomotives here getting serviced. On the left is BNSF 1943, an SD40-2 originally built as the Burlington Northern 7145 while it awaits its turn on one of the many locals around the twin ports, while on the right is a long string of CN owned locomotives awaiting the trip back to home rails at their own nearby Pokegema yard. Notable in the lineup is a BC Rail C44-9W hidden out of sight at the far end of the line, while facing nose out is ET44AC 3069 sporting a heritage scheme commemorating the Wisconsin Central railroad. It’s hard to complain about catching a heritage unit, but it’s all the better when you have some original paint thrown in there too.

On this quiet fall afternoon I popped by the Berkshire Scenic Railroad Museum for a look at their newest addition at rest in the yard, the surviving three cars of the New Haven Railroad's famous high speed lightweight 'Roger Williams' trainset. This trainset was the Budd company's offering among three experimental high speed trainsets ordered by Patrick McGinnis in 1955, the other two being the Dan'l Webster built by Pullman with Baldwin power cars and the John Quincy Adams built by ACF to a Talgo design with Fairbanks-Morse power cars. All entered service in 1957 and the latter two were failures and sold in 1960 and 62 respectively but the Roger Williams fared much better owing to its design based on the successful Budd RDC.
Originally consisting of six cars, three have survived in private ownership and after a long period of storage on the Hobo Railroad in New Hampshire recently came back to home rails and are being restored to operation.

In ownership since 1975! Being a diesel that's even more special, since they're expensive tax-wise in The Netherlands. That makes it only cost-efficient to drive a diesel when you drive a lot... I wonder how much it has driven in all those years.

Disruption
Ownership of activity
Prescribed by acceptable transactions
All is in flux
Resulting in frustration and error
And redefining
What is a fully functioning person
New base-line violations and agreements
To deal with unconscious reaction and reasoned response
Every interaction is observed
To satisfy the needs of commercial interest
There is no snap-back
This is a new socio-economic order
Of artificial intelligence, automation, and surveillance
Those who are left behind
Will be punished by poverty
By systems that are impenetrable and dehumanizing

VW Golf MK1
Für ein Auto, welches ursprünglich als kraftstoffeffizienter Ersatz für den legendären VW Käfer galt, übertraf der Golf MK1 alle Erwartungen. „Der Golf startete 1974 ins Leben und war ein echter Game Changer für Volkswagen“, sagte Sander Houdel.
„Es war das erste wassergekühlte Serienauto für Volkswagen.“ Dies war eine wesentliche Änderung im Ansatz von Volkswagen, der zuvor (wie beim Käfer) luftgekühlte Motoren verwendet hatte. Außerdem wurde der Vorderradantrieb anstelle des Hinterradantriebs eingeführt, was eine weitere Abkehr von den früheren Automodellen des Unternehmens darstellte.
Der Vorreiterstatus des Golf reichte weit über seine Ausstattung hinaus. Aufgrund seiner Schnelligkeit und Erschwinglichkeit gewann es nach seiner Veröffentlichung fast symbolische Anziehungskraft und erfreute sich in den 80er und 90er Jahren vor allem bei jungen Leuten großer Beliebtheit.
Ein Großteil davon ist auf den Erfolg der „Sport“-Version – des Golf GTI – zurückzuführen. Der GTI entstand aus einem Nebenprojekt zweier Ingenieure, die beim Bau des Wagens Ersatzteile und eine Vielzahl geheimer Taktiken verwendeten. Er bewies, dass Bedarf an einem Familienauto bestand, das die Leistung eines sportlicheren Autos nutzt und gleichzeitig praktisch und sicher ist. Tatsächlich wird dieser Version des Golf zugeschrieben, dass sie den Begriff „Hot-Hatch“ geprägt hat – ein Hochleistungs-Schrägheckmodell.
In den 2020er-Jahren werden immer noch Golf-Modelle hergestellt (aktuell in der 8. Auflage), und das Modell hat den Käfer als meistverkauftes Auto von Volkswagen überholt. Besser noch: Es ist eines der meistverkauften Autos der Welt.

Team Pennine are now 6 months in, lots of good has been done it is true, but six times as much remains still to be put right. A scramble to find the vehicles again has seen this gemini from rosso arrive during 2021. It soon fitted in well though with the fleetname pulled off. Initially held in a school cage at Huddersfield, it now runs riot anywhere...Halifax the lucky rotation on the 21 this time.
The 5 is no doubt one of the best survivors from the 80s Renault range, but even then, they are quite rare in the UK nowadays. This example was in good condition and unsurprisingly has a long term owner. I left a note under the wiper with my details, should they come to sell, as I would quite like to try a Renault 5 out one day.

Through ownership changes and plant expansions, paper mills are often a hodgepodge of mismatched additions and new nameplates slapped on top of old. I think that's why the IP corrugated shipping container plant stood out to me. Its silver edifice on the south side of Fond du Lac still looks straight out of the Mad Men era. I've always loved the Lester Beall designed logo (1958) and seeing it so large on the tallest part of the building is pretty cool. July 20, 2024.
Trelissick Garden (Cornish: Lowarth Trelesyk) is a garden in the ownership of the National Trust at Feock, near Truro, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.
Trelissick Garden lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.
The garden has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1955 when it was donated by Ida Copeland following the death of her son Geoffrey. A stained glass memorial bearing the Copeland Crest remains to this effect in Feock parish church. The house and garden had formerly been owned and developed by the Daniell family, which had made its fortune in the 18th Century Cornish copper mining industry.
Many of the species that flourish in the mild Cornish air, including the rhododendrons and azaleas which are now such a feature of the garden, were planted by the Copelands including hydrangeas, camellias and flowering cherries, and exotics such as the ginkgo and various species of palm. They also ensured that the blossoms they nurtured had a wider, if unknowing audience. Mr Ronald Copeland was chairman and later managing director of his family's business, the Spode china factory. Flowers grown at Trelissick were used as models for those painted on ware produced at the works.
The Copeland family crest, a horse's head, now decorates the weathervane on the turret of the stable block, making a pair with the Gilbert squirrels on the Victorian Gothic water tower, an echo of the family who lived here in the second half of the 19th century (their ancestor, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, was lost at sea in his tiny ship Squirrel after discovering Newfoundland).
The garden is noted for its rare shrubs. It offers a large park, woodland walks, views over the estuary of the River Fal and Falmouth.
Trelissick Garden is the home of the National Plant Collections of photinias and azaras.

Trelissick Garden ist ein Garten in Cornwall mit subtropischem und fernöstlichem Bewuchs. Der Garten liegt in Feock, einem Ortsteil von Truro, ca. 4 Meilen nördlich der Stadt Falmouth oberhalb des Fal River und der Carrick Roads. Seine Fläche beträgt ca. 10 Hektar. Der kornische Name Trelissicks bedeutet Haus des Klanführers.
Im Gegensatz zu den einige Meilen südwestlich liegenden Gärten Trebah und Glendurgan ist Trelissick kein Schluchtgarten, sondern hat den Charakter eines Landschaftsparks. Der Garten besteht aus zwei Teilen, die von einer schmalen Straße durchschnitten werden, die zur Autofähre über den Fal führt. Verbunden werden die beiden Gartenteile durch eine kleine Holzbrücke. Dank des durch den Golfstrom milden kornischen Klimas ist es möglich, in Trelissick neben heimischen Arten eine große Anzahl subtropischer und fernöstlicher Gewächse ganzjährig im Freiland zu kultivieren. So finden sich in Trelissick u. a. Yuccas, Taschentuchbäume und Baumfarn und – für das südliche Cornwall selbstverständlich – Rhododendron. Im späten Frühjahr und Frühsommer leuchtet Trelissick in allen Farben der Rhododendrenblüten. Ein besonderes Schmuckstück ist die chinesische Zeder auf der zentralen Rasenfläche des Gartens. Der „Parsley Garden“, der alte Haus- und Kräutergarten am Eingang des Anwesens, wird ebenfalls noch bewirtschaftet und kann besichtigt werden.
Die englische Porzellanfabrikantin Ida Copeland erbte Trelissick 1937. Zwischen 1937 und 1955 ließ sie den ursprünglichen Landschaftspark umgestalten, so dass der Garten einen mehr subtropischen und fernöstlichen Charakter erhielt. Im Jahr 1955 übertrugen die Copelands Trelissick dem National Trust, der es der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte und in den folgenden Jahren die Bepflanzung erweiterte und veränderte. Dabei wurde auch Wert auf eine Bepflanzung mit spät blühenden Rhododendren und Hortensien gelegt, um die Blütezeit zu verlängern.
Trelissick beherbergt die nationale Britische Sammlung von Photinien und Azaras. Ebenfalls befindet sich hier die Porzellansammlung der Familie Copeland („Copeland China Collection“), die besichtigt werden kann.

Aston Hall a Grade I Listed municipally owned Jacobean-style mansion in Aston, Birmingham, West Midlands.
Washington Irving used it as the model for Bracebridge Hall in his stories in The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon. The hall was designed by architect John Thorpe for Sir Thomas Holte and the construction was completed in 1635.
The house was severely damaged after an attack by Parliamentary troops in 1643; some of the damage is still evident. There is a hole in the staircase where a cannonball went through a window, an open door and into the banister.
The hall remained in the family of Sir Thomas Holte until 1817 when it was sold and leased by James Watt Jr., son of industrial pioneer James Watt.
It was visited by Washington Irving, who wrote about it as Bracebridge Hall, taking the name from Abraham Bracebridge, husband of the last member of the Holte family to live there. Irving's The Sketch Book stories depicted harmonious warm-hearted English Christmas festivities he experienced while staying in Aston Hall, which had largely been abandoned in the rest of the country.
The house was then purchased in 1858 by a private company (the Aston Hall and Park Company Ltd) for use as a public park and museum. After financial difficulties it was then bought by the Birmingham Corporation in 1864 becoming the first historic country house to pass into municipal ownership.
In the 1920s, the Birmingham Corporation were having financial troubles and had to choose between saving Aston Hall and the nearby Perry Hall. Aston Hall was saved and in 1927, The Birmingham Civic Society designed formal gardens which were implemented by the city with a workforce recruited from the unemployed and paid for by government grants.
In ownership since 2000. Will the owner still have it when the doors are completely free of clear varnish?
In ownership since 1990!
Saw a picture from azu250 of this car, which reminded me that it had been too long since I took a photo of it (see comments).
In ownership since 1995!
That's why I kept this picture. I see 2f's too often to photograph each of them, and I don't know why I took this photo. But I'm glad I did, you don't see a car like this in ownership for 28 years often...
Clitheroe Castle is a ruined early medieval castle in Clitheroe in Lancashire, England. It was the caput of the Honour of Clitheroe, a vast estate stretching along the western side of the Pennines.[3]
Its earliest history is debated but it is thought to be of Norman origin, probably built in the twelfth century. Property of the de Lacy family, the honour later merged with the earldom and then Duchy of Lancaster. Given to George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle in 1660, the castle site remained in private ownership until 1920, when it was sold to the people of Clitheroe to create a war memorial. Today the buildings on the site are the home of Clitheroe Castle Museum.

This isn’t about rejecting ambition or effort. It’s about choosing ownership of the work, the pace, and the outcome. Some paths are built around extracting returns first and meaning later, and I’ve learned that alignment matters more than acceleration. I would rather let something grow slowly, imperfectly, and on my own terms than trade the core of it away for approval, optics, or manufactured momentum. There is a quiet dignity in building without permission, even if it never becomes loud enough to impress anyone else.
When in Victoria one must visit this nearby world-class garden. Incredible...
"Robert Pim Butchart (1856–1943) and his wife Jennie Butchart (1866–1950) came to the west coast of Canada because of rich limestone deposits necessary for their cement production business.
In 1904, they established their home near his quarry on Tod Inlet at the base of the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island.
In 1907, 65-year-old garden designer Isaburo Kishida of Yokohama came to Victoria to design some gardens. Several prominent citizens, Jennie Butchart among them, commissioned Japanese gardens from Kishida for their estates. .
In 1909, when the limestone quarry was exhausted, Jennie set about turning it into the Sunken Garden (seen here), which was completed in 1921. They named their home "Benvenuto" ("welcome" in Italian), and began to receive visitors to their gardens.
In 1939, the Butcharts gave the Gardens to their grandson Ian Ross (1918–1997) on his 21st birthday. Ross was involved in the operation and promotion of the gardens until his death 58 years later.
In 2004, to mark the 100th anniversary of The Gardens were designated as a national historic site.
Ownership of The Gardens remains within the Butchart family; the owner and managing director since 2001 is the Butcharts' great-granddaughter Robin-Lee Clarke." Wikipedia
The gardens receive over a million visitors each year. With 55 acres of colorful scenes like this it is easy to see why.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and the week ahead.
