Stefanou beach is located at the position of Seitan Limania, 22km northeast of Chania and 2km east of the village Chordaki, at the east side of Akrotiri Cape. The wider area is named Seitan Limania, after the wild landscape, the steep cliffs and the strong sea streams which are considered dangerous. Here are situated three parallel narrow coves, well protected from the waves.
Crete is an island with an exquisite 1,000 kilometer-long coastline dotted with numerous coves, bays and peninsulas, which afford a multitude of soft, sandy beaches along the beautifully blue Mediterranean Sea.
Richmond Castle in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England, stands in a commanding position above the River Swale, close to the centre of the town of Richmond. It was originally called Riche Mount, 'the strong hill'. The castle was constructed from 1071 onwards following the Norman Conquest of England, and the Domesday Book of 1086 refers to 'a castlery' at Richmond.
In 1069 William the Conqueror had put down a rebellion at York which was followed by his "harrying of the North" – an act of ethnic cleansing which depopulated large areas for a generation or more. As a further punishment, he divided up the lands of north Yorkshire among his most loyal followers. Alan Rufus, of Brittany, received the borough of Richmond and began constructing the castle to defend against further rebellions and to establish a personal power base. His holdings, called the Honour of Richmond, covered parts of eight counties and amounted to one of the most extensive Norman estates in England. The Dukes of Brittany became the owners of the castle as Earls of Richmond though it was often confiscated for various periods by English Kings.
A 100-foot (30 m)-high keep of honey-coloured sandstone was constructed at the end of the 12th century by Duke Conan IV of Brittany. The Earldom of Richmond was seized in 1158 by Henry II of England. [a] It was King Henry II who probably completed the keep which had 11-foot (3.4 m)-thick walls. Modern visitors can climb to the top of the keep for magnificent views of the town of Richmond. At the same time that the keep was probably completed, Henry II considerably strengthened the castle by adding towers and a barbican. Henry III and King Edward I spent more money on the site including Edward's improvements to the keep interior.
In addition to the main circuit of the wall, there was the barbican in front of the main gate which functioned as a sealed entry space, allowing visitors and wagons to be checked before they gained entry to the castle itself. On the other side of the castle, overlooking the river, was another enclosure or bailey called the Cockpit, which may have functioned as a garden and was overlooked by a balcony. A drawing of 1674 suggests there was another longer balcony overlooking the river side of Scolland's Hall, the Great Hall.
Richmond Castle had fallen out of use as a fortress by the end of the 14th century and it did not receive major improvements after that date. A survey of 1538 shows it was partly in ruins, but paintings by Turner and others, together with the rise of tourism and an interest in antiquities, led to repairs to the keep in the early 19th century.
In 1855 the castle became the headquarters of the North Yorkshire Militia, and a military barracks block was constructed in the great courtyard. For two years, from 1908 to 1910, the castle was the home of Robert Baden-Powell, later founder of the Boy Scouts, while he commanded the Northern Territorial Army but the barracks building was demolished in 1931.
The castle was used during the First World War as the base of the Non-Combatant Corps made up of conscientious objectors – conscripts who refused to fight. It was also used to imprison some conscientious objectors who refused to accept army discipline and participate in the war in any way. These included the "Richmond Sixteen" who were taken to France from the castle, charged under Field Regulations, and then sentenced to death, but their death sentences were commuted to ten years' hard labour.
As presented today Richmond Castle has one of the finest examples of Norman buildings in Britain including Scollands Hall, the Great Hall of the castle. The keep has a restored roof and floors but is shown with the original 11th-century main gate arch unblocked. This arch is now in the basement of the later 12th century keep which was built in front of it, the main gate then being moved to its present position which was dominated by the adjacent keep while the original arch we see today was filled-in to secure the keep.
The castle is a Scheduled Monument, a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change.It is also a Grade I listed building and therefore recognised as an internationally important structure. Today the castle is in the care of English Heritage which publishes a guidebook written by John Goodall PhD FSA. English Heritage provides a visitor centre for the castle with an informative exhibition containing artefacts form the castles history, they also hold regular events there throughout the year.
According to legend, King Arthur and his knights are sleeping in a cave underneath the castle. It is said that they were once discovered by a potter named Thompson, who ran away when they began to awake. Another legend tells that a drummer boy was lost while investigating an underground tunnel, and that his ghostly drumming is sometimes heard around the castle.
From my position somewhat in front of the old depot, looking kitty corner across Clare Rd to the northwest. The Clare post office and apartment house next to it, are to my right out of view. Going by the old map this would be the downtown area of Clare.
These two buildings in view were in the same lot, lot 5 of the original plat. The second building was most definitely a store of some kind at one time but unless it was moved, it is not the store and post office on the old map as it was a couple of lots north of this one in lot 1.
There is a small garage or shop in lot 6. Nothing too historic about it as it is a fairly modern building. North of lot 6 is lot 1 where the old store and post office building was, today there are no buildings on that lot, only a bunch of trees.
This Type-28a Gun House is positioned facing the Littleport railway station crossing and is part of the Command Line running from Littleport to King's Lynn along the line the River Great Ouse, section of the GHQ Line from Cambridgeshire to Peterborough.
The Type-28 is a Rectangular Shellproof Gun House designed to house either a 2pdr or 6pdr Hotchkiss Anti-Tank Gun. The smallest Type-28 Gun House was a Single Chamber design built to Shellproof standards with External Walls approximately 3ft 6in thick whilst the roof is 12in thick. Overall it approximately measures 20ft by 19ft and internally the Chamber measures 13ft by 12ft. At the front of the Type-28 Gun House is the low and wide Embrasure for the 2pdr or 6pdr Anti-Tank Gun. With the 2pdr Gun in position the shield of the gun would have covered most of the Embrasure, which measures 2ft 6in internally, stepping out to 3ft 2in by 11ft 6in on the outside, the maximum traverse of the 2pdr Gun is limited to a 60° sweep.
Getting the 2pdr Gun inside the Gun House was through a rear opening of 6ft wide, which would be closed in with sandbags as there were no doors fitted. The large unobstructed entrance did allow the 2pdr Gun to maintain it’s mobility, by allowing the Gun to be moved in and out rapidly. Below the Gun Embrasure are three recesses in the floor, the 2pdr Gun, would have been wheeled into position, then its wheels removed and the trail legs unfolded and located into the floor recesses. In cases were the Hotckiss Quick Fire Anti-Tank Gun was used a Pedestal with a nine bolt Holdfast was added to mount the Gun in a more permanent position adding sandbags around the Embrasure for added protection.
Normally each side wall has an Infantry Embrasure/Loophole to provide some limited protection from the enemy. However, the lack of all-round small arms fire meant that the Gun House would be very vulnerable to enemy attack. The lack of forward-firing Infantry Embrasures/Loopholes meant that it would not be possible to support the 2pdr Gun with small arms fire. So to overcome the problem of the limited Infantry fire support the FW3/28 Gun House design was modified to produce the FW3/28a. This modification consisted of a second Chamber being added to the Anti-Tank Gun Chamber, the second chamber was an Infantry Chamber with up to three Infantry Embrasures/Loopholes firing to the front, rear and side.
Generally, the Gun Houses were positioned to allow the gun to fire along fixed lines, such as enfilading an Anti-Tank Ditch or a bridge. In these positions the limited traverse of the gun creates no real disadvantage and the small size of the embrasure provides greater protection for the gun and its crew.

One of five images taken from my computer room window--backyard wildlife in Troy, New York, USA, April 1-6, 2017. After seeing several squirrels get their tails tangled in the tree, while feeding, upside-down, from the suet feeder, I've changed the position of the feeder. It, now, hangs against the tree trunk, below the branches. I hope this will be safer for the squirrels. The birds seem to be adapting nicely, with the possible exception of the Red-Bellies. They, now, would need to feed on the side closer to me. They are a bit skittish! Note this Hairy Woodpecker's tongue!

Another important stage in the restoration of Holgate Windmill, York. The restored fantail, which the millwright delivered last month, is raised into position at the top of the mill tower.
This is a general view of the mill as the millwrights guide the fantail into position on the fan stage.
Down below during the operation, helpers were controlling traffic as the roundabout was partially blocked by the crane. (Windmill Rise is a quiet residential road with very little traffic.)

Wow, this brought me back to my childhood. I had many of these games: combat, asteroids, space invaders (my all-time fave), space armada, california games, joust, pole position, centipede and ms. pac man. I miss the days of simplicity...now video game controllers have 8 million buttons and it's a bitch to remember what they all do!
Offset pivot position gives a more natural fore-aft action.
One big oversight was positioning the clamp bolts on top where I can't access them. Arse! They'd look just as good on the drivers side and work better. Ah well, lesson learned. It can be fixed with another 10 min in the lathe to finish the (scuffed) rear face then run the bracket upside down and the pivots on the RHS of the column. Should work...
