According to one particular theory, the scientific name of tansy’s genus comes from the Greek word for ‘deathless’. Tansy has been used in the embalming process and has been a common graveyard plant in Finland too. In the old days it was used to flavour stews, baking, salads and – of course – strong spirits. It has also been used as a tobacco substitute and to dye wool, and it helps compost decompose more quickly. It has been shown to keep pests away from fruit trees and perennials and when it is dries it repels moths, flies, midges and ants from indoor places. Especially in Lapland, where the choice of undemanding and easily-cared-for perennials is not so large, tansy grows in every yard and has held onto its spot as a natural perennial in the flower-bed. Its strong stems stick up during the winter, and as they keep well, tansy also makes a pleasant dried flower. (source: Luontoportti)
L'architecture de villégiature de bord de mer qui s'est répandue en Bretagne entre 1880 et 1960, se caractérise par une extrême diversité. Aucun style particulier ne se dégage, si ce n'est l'utilisation de la pierre locale.
The seaside resort architecture which spread in Brittany between 1880 and 1960 is characterized by extreme diversity. No particular style emerges, except for the use of local stone.
. . . the "speckled one".
This particular rocky eminence will be familiar to observant travellers as it hems in the busy A83 road to the south-west whilst ascending the well-known 'Rest-&-be-thankful' pass.
From certain angles it can appear as a reasonably elegant point; this view (from its it's lower outlier, 'Cruach Fhiarach') presents something less graceful, but no less impressive (in my opinion).
I brought this shell back from Baja California Mexico, and it's been sitting out in the garden for the last six years. I brought it inside to photograph this afternoon because it's raining today, which is a rather rare event in San Diego County.
Lighting: Placed on a piece of black Perspex, and then lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox positioned at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera left.

"Call me Ishmael...."
Like Ishmael, having nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would also sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.
After leaving Vancouver we sailed for 36 hours through straits of gun metal blue and gray. I prowled the deck on the aft of the boat hurrying from side to side in order to not miss a thing. After breakfast on the first morn I spied this lovely little scene nestled on a small hump of land. Behind the quaint buildings heavily forested mountains, as big and lonely as a forgotten widow, spilled away from the shore. The air was moist and salty and I thought it would be lovely to be a simple sailor spending my days being pushed along by a soft wind on a mirror-like sea. But like the inhabitants of this water world I was soon to learn that expectations are the dreams of a fool.
Somewhere on the Inner Passage, Alaska
(hungry man in tenderloin, sf, 10/12/06)
hungry john quinn hunched over a trash can in the tenderloin. as i pass, he stands vacantly staring nowhere in particular. he wears a black leather jacket and hospital bottoms. there's darkness about his eyes; the whites aren't white, rather slight shades off his skin. but when the light catches, so do they.
i circle and return from another direction. he's grim and i expect dismissal. i ask if i can take his picture. he smiles and says "why sure you can." he has only a single tooth. he lives in a nearby "poorly ventilated" low income hotel. he just got out of the hospital and has been trying to get money for food. he had a heart attack. says he's had to quit smoking.
i ask about his blue eyes. if anyone else in his family has had them. says no, "just me and my mule"
there's an animation in him that he seems to save. and an intelligence that surprises. we talk of the time he met martin luther king in the airport leaving for india. we talk of his graduation from berkeley, his acceptance to law school, and the drug use which would take him elsewhere.
he talks of south africa's "honorary whites", india's untouchables, and sartre's essence of a man.
and he describes an exchange between south africa's botha and nelson mandela, when the latter was in prison. botha insists that mandela renounce violence as an alternative if he wishes release.
mandela refuses, responding that there is no alternative to life; and that he will do whatever is necessary to live.

The Hooker Valley Track is one of the most popular day hikes in New Zealand. It is located within the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, South island.
It crosses 3 suspension (swing) bridges over the Hooker River before reaching a lookout above Hooker Lake for a close view of Mount Cook (the highest peak).
This is the first bridge and Mueller lake. A hundred years ago, the Mueller glacier filled the valley floor, and the lake is the result of the Mueller glacier retreating creating the classical moraine.
Crossing the bridges was a fun on that easy 5km return hike, but entire walk is very beautiful with spectacular views around, particular at such nice weather we had. Gets too busy 'though.
Note, it is end of summer, so it is the least snow.

These particular asters are quite small...about an inch In diameter.
Asters actually come out in October signaling to me that the warmth of summer is over, that the colors of autumn are in full swing... and the bitterness of winter is not too far away. They are the last kiss of bright flowers until next year.

One of the oldest survivors of America's steam railroading era, this locomotive was built 29 years after the steam engine was first developed for transportation. Breese, Kneeland & Company of Jersey City, New Jersey also operated as the New York Locomotive Works and is represented by the No. 73 on the locomotive builders plate. The company used its standard style, based on a design patented by Henry Roe Campbell in 1836. Known as a 4-4-0 "Classic American" for its wheel configuration, this particular locomotive was manufactured in 1857 for the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company.
Believed to have been named "Spring Green", the locomotive served the upper midwestern United States for more than 30 years. By 1889, the Arizona & Southeastern Railroad Company, which later became the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad (EP&SW), had acquired it and converted it from a wood-burner to a coal-burner. The smokestack was also likely reconfigured from a funnel type to a straight type at that time. Calling it Locomotive No. One, EP&SW utilized it in the development of Bisbee, Arizona and in other mining and industrial operations in the southwest.
EP&SW retired Old Number One after more than 50 years of service, moving it to a park adjacent to company headquarters at 416 N. Stanton Street in 1909. Except for its brief role in the 1938 film "Let Freedom Ring", it remained there until 1960, even after the rail company became part of the Southern Pacific railroad system in 1924. In 1960, the railroad donated it to Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), which placed it at the Centennial Museum. In 2000, the City of El Paso received state and national funds to restore the engine to its 1909 appearance, moving it to the present site at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal.

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights , and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality .
I found a print of this image last night, an underexposed print, and I realized that with my recent advent of negative scanning (as opposed to scanning prints) that it might turn into something interesting. I've probably been through this particular set of prints three times now, and each time I find something that catches my eye - and didn't before.
This is a pinhole image that I took from the top of Eagle Falls, which overlooks Lake Tahoe. While we weren't fortunate enough for any interesting clouds that morning, I was still amazed at the goldeness of it all. I think pinhole did a good job of capturing that light and motion.
As for the title, I am excited tonight. I am perhaps not as blindly optimistic as the title suggests, but I am optimistic nevertheless. Four years ago I was depressingly discouraged at America's decision. Today I am proud of us. I am also a bit nervous in wondering what the next few years will be, because I believe that my/our decision will bring about the greatest amount of change that would have been possible. And change, even when desperately needed, can be scary. But as I've heard multiple times today - there is nothing to fear but fear itself. I am ready for this. I think America is ready for this. Certainly, the rest of the world is ready for America to be ready for this. ;-) And I am proud.
I am also very happy to be done listening to political ads. Ha.
Happy Election Day, all. Thanks for voting.

I recently visited Glencar Waterfall in county Sligo, and in the process discovered the beautiful Glencar lake. Benbulbin watches guard over the lake, it is just a beautiful place despite the leaden skies of that particular day. With the lake on one side of the carpark and the waterfall on the other side this is a great place to stop for 10 minutes and just relax.
Another Explore for my small collection! Thank you every viewer for taking the time to check out this image, you are all great!

This festively decorated house is just down the road from where I live. It used to be a Doctors surgery but has since been sold off. Parents take a detour down that particular road just to go and see it with their children. It did have two cars parked in the drive when me and my friend Jerry decided to go and have a look on our way to the photowalk around Windsor & Eton with our photography club on Monday night. I decide to take the cars out in Photoshop as they were a bit of a distraction.

El Colegio de San Gregorio de Valladolid es la sede principal del Museo Nacional de Escultura. Es uno de los mejores ejemplos de la arquitectura del periodo de los Reyes Católicos. En particular, su patio y su portada son célebres por su refinada ornamentación, las elegantes proporciones y una ostensible simbología del poder.
Igualmente interesante es su historia como institución docente. Destinado a colegio de Teología para frailes dominicos, adquirió una notable autoridad doctrinal y actuó como un semillero espiritual y político de la España renacentista y barroca.
La Universidad de Valladolid fue fundada en el siglo XIII durante el reinado de Alfonso X el Sabio; como en otros países se potenció la aparición de centros colegiales, de modo que tardíamente se creó el Colegio de San Gregorio, que actuaron en paralelo o complementariamente con relación a la vida universitaria. En Valladolid se creó además el Colegio de Santa Cruz también a finales del siglo XV
La creación del Colegio, bajo la advocación del doctor de la Iglesia San Gregorio, fue obra del dominico Alonso de Burgos, obispo de la diócesis de Palencia y confesor de los Reyes Católicos. Alonso de Burgos condicionó su fundación a la obtención de la comunidad dominica de San Pablo de los terrenos para la construcción de su propia capilla funeraria, que serviría igualmente para el alumnado del Colegio. Tal petición se vio satisfecha en 1487: consigue el espacio necesario, lo cual fue confirmado por el Papa Inocencio VIII.
Las obras se iniciaron en 1488 aunque se había comenzado ya la construcción de la capilla funeraria, cuya puerta de entrada se percibe en el crucero sur de la Iglesia conventual de San Pablo.
La fachada fue concebida como un telón o estandarte (arquitectura suspendida). Su compartimentación se organiza con elementos vegetales que evocan los arcos triunfales construidos con madera y enramada, reforzándose su carácter civil y urbano. Dada su significación simbólica, la explicación de los diferentes motivos y elementos que la integran ofrece una gran dificultad, tanto individualmente como en su totalidad y en la relación entre los diferentes elementos.
En el tímpano principal y sobre el dintel decorado con flor de lis aparece la dedicatoria y la ofrenda del Colegio por parte del fraile dominico Alonso de Burgos a san Gregorio Magno en presencia de San Pablo y Santo Domingo.
Destacan las figuras de hombres silvestres cubiertos, o no, de pelo, y con garrotes y escudos; o bien aluden a la costumbre cortesana de disfrazar escuderos con ocasión de fiestas, o bien representan la imagen mítica del «hombre natural», tal como se discutió por esas fechas y entran en diálogo visual con esculturas de caballeros, vestidos con armaduras y portando lanzas y escudos, encarnando la Virtud.
La parte central superior está ocupada por un pilón hexagonal, rebosante de agua, que puede evocar la especulación intelectual como Fuente de la Vida. En torno al pilón, se arremolinan parejas de niños y de él arranca el tronco de un granado, en posible alusión a la Fuente de la Vida y al Árbol de la Ciencia, aparte de la celebración de la reciente conquista del Reino de Granada. Todo el relieve central de la fachada se constituye con esta representación simbólica de un microcosmos, a imagen del Paraíso, lugar hacia donde deberían dirigirse los hombres mediante el conocimiento de las Artes y la Teología.
La presencia del escudo de los Reyes Católicos, sostenido por leones y por el águila de San Juan podría tener una significación política o podría ser una alusión a la dedicación del edificio a la Monarquía, a la que Alonso de Burgos nombró heredera y patrona del Colegio.
El patio del Colegio es de planta cuadrada y representa una de las joyas de estilo hispanoflamenco. Sus dos pisos se levantan sobre pilares helicoidales decorados sus capiteles con medias bolas y lises separados ambos por el tema de la cadena.
En las arquerías del piso superior se encuentra toda la decoración mediante calados pretiles de tracería gótica y cortinas pétreas que al abrirse originan arcos geminados de guirnaldas y follaje, entre los que juguetean niños, concebido con una talla muy plana próxima al estilo renacentista. Un friso de yugos y flechas y las gárgolas es lo único que se conserva de su antiguo coronamiento.
El acceso al piso superior se realiza a través de una sola escalera con pretiles góticos a los que se suceden los paramentos almohadillados de su caja decorada también con el timbre heráldico del fundador y con un artesonado mudéjar, en cuyo friso se pueden observar las iniciales de los Reyes Católicos y que cierra todo su ámbito.

The Colegio de San Gregorio is an Isabelline style building located in the city of Valladolid, in Castile and León, Spain, it was formerly a college and now is housing the Museo Nacional de Escultura museum. This building is one of the best examples of the architectural style known as Isabelline, which is the characteristic architectural style of the Crown of Castile region during the Catholic Monarchs' reign (late-15th century to early-16th century).
Among other sections highlights its courtyard and its facade for its refined decoration, elegant proportions and the number of symbologies. It was founded as a teaching institution. Aimed at College of Theology for Dominican friars, it has acquired a doctrinal authority and acted as a spiritual and political hotbed in the Central region of Spain's Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The University of Valladolid was founded in the 13th-century during the Alfonso X of Castile the Wise's reign; as in other countries, the emergence of college centers was potentiated, then belatedly was created the Colegio de San Gregorio, who performed in parallel or complementarily in relation to university life. In Valladolid the Colegio Mayor Santa Cruz was also created also in late 15th-century.
The creation of the College, under the title of the Doctor of the Church Saint Gregory the Great, was work of Dominican Alonso de Burgos, the Catholic Monarchs's confessor and Bishop of the dioceses of Córdoba, Cuenca and Palencia. The foundation of the college was confirmed by with Papal Bull of Pope Innocent VIII in 1487, and accepted as Royal patronage by Queen Isabella the Catholic in 1500, after the founder's death.
It attached to the Convento de San Pablo, which Friar Alonso had been its prior, its foundation was subject to the assignment of the Capilla del Crucifijo (Crucifix's chapel), attached to the Epistle's arm of the Dominican church, to become his own funeral chapel, which later acquired dual function to also serve as a chapel for college.
Work began in 1488 in a process from the inside to outside, being the main facade the last in lift. The Royal shields in the corners of the Large courtyard still do not present the Granada's symbol suggests that this part would be completed before 1492. The building is assumed to completed in 1496.
The facade, plain facing and topped with a crest, stands out above all for its spectacular main facade, which by its stylistic features it sets regarding the workshop of Gil de Siloé, a Flemish origin artist, who was at that time in Burgos dealing with the royal sepulchers of the Miraflores Charterhouse and is known to have been commissioned to make the defunct altarpiece of the chapel, very in connection with which the sculptor had made in the Conception's chapel or of Bishop Acuña in the Cathedral of Burgos and has obvious similarities to the upper of the main facade of San Gregorio.
Perhaps evoking the triumphal arches of the architectures at that time were developing in Central Europe, or perhaps the Islamic Madrasas, architects of this building applying an individually decorated of the Castilian late-Gothic (Isabelline), it has a complex symbolic significance in that mix contemporary figures, saints, allegories, wild men, abundant symbolic of power, etc.
It has two bodies framed by two buttresses. The lower hosts a vain lintel decorated with fleur-de-lys, the founder's symbol repeated often enough, covered with three-centered arch in turn covered by another ogee trefoil.
It draw attention to the "savage men" of the jambs and buttresses, a total of sixteen. Theories about the significance of these figures, present in many buildings of 15th-century, are varied and should be put in relation to the context in which these appear. One of its functions would be simple heraldry sculptures. It is also said that, dressed with shield and mace, were the guardians of the building, beastmen guaranteeing security. Or these could allude to the custom of disguising the squires and lackeys in Court (nobility) festivities in which it presented the "savage" as inferior, in relation, for example, the chivalric romances, which mentions hair covered wild men, degraded men, estranged from the civilized world, not Christianized, and could here be in visual confrontation with the knights who also appear on the main facade, with armor, spears and shields, that would be interpreted as allegories of Virtue. On the contrary, these could also be a positive allusion, the mythical image of man in nature, unpolluted, symbol of purity that evokes the time in a perfect and happy world, with prototype to John the Baptist.
Those on the lower part, flanking the main facade, are completely covered with long hair, carrying weapons and the shields are decorated with demonic figures except in one, which has a Knight order of Calatrava's cross, the same motifs of the soldiers's shields of the second floor, the same iconography already seen for over a century.
However, in the top of the main facade are completely different, with the same attributes but without hair on the body and even two hairless, with a more human aspect, and there are authors who consider the oldest representation in Castile of an American Native, reflecting the effect of the Americas's arrival in the European imagination.
The tympanum, on a lintel, seems to represent the offering of the college by Friar Alonso de Burgos to Saint Gregory the Great in the presence of Saints Dominic and Paul, patrons of the neighboring Dominican convent, a somewhat disconcerting scene, unbalanced, with disproportion between the figures and Saint Paul with a cruciferous nimbus, an exclusive attribute of Christ. It seems to be earlier work than the rest, or even reused from other site.
The upper body is divided into three sections, with the center occupied by a hexagonal pylon which starts a pomegranate tree, referring to the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada's conquest in 1492, swirling around putti playing and jumping. It could be a Fountain of Eternal Youth's representation, hence the children, of the Tree of Knowledge, in relation to the building dedicated to the study, an allegory of the Paradise, the place to which men aspire to reach through the knowledge, an allegory of the Golden Age, in relation to the historical moment that was occurring to the Spanish monarchy.
The pomegranate tree is topped by a big shield of the Catholic Monarchs with the St. John's eagle held by two attitude lions and below the Catholic Monarchs's symbols also appear: the beam and arrows. And the use of the royal heraldry with propaganda purposes in this period reached prominence hitherto unknown, present not only in buildings directly promoted by the Catholic Monarchs but also in many that of their closest collaborators, in that way showing participation and acceptance in the political project undertaken by Isabella I and Ferdinand II in relation to the establishment of a modern state with which to control and organize all their territories under their unique power.
Upper body's side sections have the founder's heraldic decoration and two kings of arms placed at height of the central shield.
Distributed among the distributed arboured throughout the main facade are seen multiple scenes related to the defects to be overcome with the study, in relation to the search for truth and rejection of heresy, the triumph of intelligence over force or the strength to overcome temptation.
(Large courtyard) The Patio Grande was the access to the most important stays of the set. It considered a Hispanic-Flemish (Isabelline) gem, is set in relation to Juan Guas for its similarities to Palacio del Infantado in Guadalajara, although have also located abundant motifs that Bartolomé Solórzano, an active artist at that time in the area, used in the Cathedral of Palencia, seat of the Friar Alonso's bishopric.
It is square with two floors, the lower with slender pillars, perhaps a Solomonic reference in relation to a building as a "temple of wisdom", with capitals of average balls and fleur-de-lis sustaining segmental arches, and the upper with one of the most decorative Isabelline galleries, with parapets openwork with Gothic tracery and geminare arches riddled with garlands and foliage among those appears children playing and where already shown Renassaince influence, of midpoint and a form that goes be more flat.
Then follows a frieze of yokes and arrows on highlighting the imaginative gargoyles.
It has abundant emblems of the Catholic Monarchs and the kingdoms of Navarre and Granada, incorporated into the Crown of Castile during the erection of the building.
The only staircase that connects both floors is rectangular of two sections, Isabelline base, decorated walls with padding of Renaissance influence with the founder's heraldry; an impressive Mudéjar roof on a frieze with the Catholic Monarchs's initials; and neo-Gothic parapets with same trace that the base, added in works in the 1860s to replace the wooden fence that had.

When I get into a particular location I can't stop myself from returning, often multiple times. This particular spot is so close to where I live that I imagine I will photograph it under lots of conditions and through the seasons. This is another Canon 7D IR shot from my most recent trip.
Tripod - Brian, 3 legged Thing.
This was recently taken from Elk Rapids Beach, which is on East Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan. I live several miles away, and can only see the sunset through the trees. On this particular eve, I had dinner at a friends home, which happens to overlook the bay. The strip of land is Old Mission Point, which bisect the east and west bay.
#MazeOfMetamorphosis According to an estimation by the Japanese government, there are about one million people in the Country who live a life of self reclusion. They remain inside their house for years without any social interaction. Hikikomori phenomenon is a typical cultural syndrome that can be understood not only as an escape from too demanding school and work standards but also as an extreme protest against violent conformism.
After a three-months-long continuous research I finally came in contact with a self isolated man who accepted to be portrayed by me. I knew it was going to be difficult to gain his trust, precisely because those who isolate themselves from the world do it by definition because they don't want to have contact with it. I was ready for his refusal, even at the last moment, and I would have respected his will. Anyway, he accepted me to enter his house.
I asked to Fumihiro Yoshino (a butoh performer) to become the space of the room. I used a plexiglass cube to represent this space too, as a barrier. As I learned from butoh dance, I didn't ask Yoshino for anything in particular, just to be the space of the room, waiting for things to happen. My project on the one hand wants to illustrate social issues, but on the other wants to do it in an unusual and artistic way, letting things happen in front of me, and butoh dance has proved to be an excellent means, precisely because it is a form of non-conceptual, meaningless art that freely leads people to occupy a space and change in it. The metamorphosis concerns the subject, but also the viewer.
With no particular affinity for trees, this species would be more aptly named as "American Ground Sparrow". Lake St. Clair.
Once I walked through the city in search of interesting view. In particular, I was looking for old and new buildings which would contrast with each other. After a long journey I met here this old abandoned house in front of which is already showing off a new apartment building. Enough good combination!
Madagascar - Je dois avouer que j'ai une affection particulière pour cette photo qui n’a pourtant rien d’extraordinaire d’un point de vue technique.
Le train qui assure la ligne Fianarantsoa-Manakara va repartir. Je suis remonté dans la voiture. La petite fille, chargée de garder son petit frère, a tenté pendant l’arrêt en gare, de récupérer quelques pièces auprès des voyageurs, en leur proposant une grosse orange.
Alors que ses soeurs d’infortune (hors-champ) sollicitent les voyageurs jusqu’à la dernière seconde, la petite malgache vient de remonter avec son petit frère sur le quai pour se mettre en retrait et regarder le train s’en aller. Je crois qu'elle a pu vendre son orange.
The little girl on the station platform
Madagascar - I must admit that I have a particular affection for this photo, which is not, however, out of the ordinary from a technical point of view.
The train that runs the Fianarantsoa-Manakara line will be leaving in a few moments. I got back into the car. The little girl, responsible for looking after her little brother, tried during the stop at the station to collect some coins from the travelers, offering them a large orange.
While her sisters (off-screen) solicit travelers until the last second, she has just climbed back up with her little brother to the platform to stand back and watch the train go.
Lots of foreign power was floating around on this particular day. Minutes after 11K went west, NS 22W showed up with two Union Pacific locomotives trailing.
Get to know the "major heat"
"major heat" is the 12th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 120° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 135°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 120°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around 22 July (23 July Chinese lunisolar calendar time) and ends around 7 August. Being the last solar term in the summer, it also marks that the scorching heat has reached its peak.
The Great Heat usually coincides with the "Sanfu", or the "dog days of summer", which lasts 40 days from mid-July to the end of August. Despite the hot weather, the period is also when the rain is most frequent and the crops grow fastest.
Floods or drought are among the most commonly seen natural disasters during the period. Therefore farmers are advised to harvest the early rice along, so as to secure the timely planting of the late rice. Irrigation of crops at this time is also important for preventing droughts and guaranteeing the harvest in the autumn.
However, signs of autumn also are intertwined with the hot days. In The Book of Rites (Li Ji in Chinese), one of the classic works of Confucianism written in the Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C.-256 B.C.), the "major heat" was divided into three pentads, with the last one marked by "frequent rains", which, according to the ancient Chinese, will wash away the heat and bring in the cool air of autumn.
What to eat during the "major heat"
In east China's Shandong Province, residents like to enjoy a bowl of mutton soup, with spices, vinegar and garlic added to it. They believe the sweat from eating the hot food will bring out harmful elements accumulated in the bodies. Rich in glucose and vitamins, litchi is not only nutritious, but is also a good choice to help relieve the heat of the summer.
Ancient Chinese also celebrated the "major heat" with different activities, such as praying for health and wealth and playing cricket. Today, people are advised to stay inside instead of doing fierce sports.

Snowshill Manor was the property of Winchcombe Abbey from 821 until 1539 when the Abbey was confiscated by King Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Between 1539 and 1919 it had a number of tenants and owners until it was purchased by Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist-craftsman, collector, poet and heir to the family fortune. He restored the property, living in the small cottage in the garden and using the manor house as a home for his collection of objects. He gave the property and the contents of this collection to the National Trust in 1951. There are two aspects of Snowshill Manor: its garden and the manor house, which is now home to Wade's eclectic collection. The garden at Snowshill was laid out by Wade, in collaboration with Arts and Crafts movement architect, M. H. Baillie Scott, between 1920 and 1923 as a series of outside rooms seen as an extension to the house. Features include terraces and ponds. The manor house is a typical Cotswold house, made from local stone; the main part of the house dates from the 16th century. Today, the main attraction of the house is perhaps the display of Wade's collection. From 1900 until 1951, when he gave the Manor to the National Trust, Wade amassed an enormous and eclectic collection of objects reflecting his interest in craftsmanship. The objects in the collection include 26 suits of Japanese samurai armour dating from the 17th and 19th centuries; bicycles; toys; musical instruments and more. On 5 October 2003, the house was closed and its entire contents removed in order to effect a number of repairs. In particular, the electrical wiring needed updating, new fire, security and environmental monitoring systems were installed, and the existing lighting was improved. The house reopened on 25 March 2005.
