No. 1 - 5: Exploring Canterbury.
Canterbury Cathedral
The Great Cloister.
CLOISTER (Lat. claustrum; Fr. cloitre; Ital. chiostro; Span. claustro; Ger. Kloster). The word "cloister," though now restricted to the four-sided enclosure, surrounded with covered ambulatories, usually attached to coventual and cathedral churches, and sometimes to colleges, or by a still further limitation to the ambulatories themselves, originally signified the entire monastery. In this sense it is of frequent occurrence in earlier English literature (e.g. Shakespeare, Meas. for Meas. i. 3, " This day my sister should the cloister enter"), and is still employed in poetry. The Latin claustrum, as its derivation implies, primarily denoted no more than the enclosing wall of a religious house, and then came to be used for the whole building enclosed within the wall. To this sense the German "Kloster" is still limited, the covered walks, or cloister in the modern sense, being called "Klostergang," or "Kreuzgang." In French the word cloitre retains the double sense.
d k In the special sense now most common, the word "cloister" enotes the quadrilateral area in a monastery or college of canons, round which the principal buildings are ranged, and which is usually provided with a covered way or ambulatory running all round, and affording a means of communication between the various centres of the ecclesiastical life, without exposure to the weather. According to the Benedictine arrangement, which from its suitability to the requirements of monastic life was generally adopted in the West, one side of the cloister was formed by the church, the refectory occupying the side opposite to it, that the worshippers might have the least annoyance from the noise or smell of the repasts. On the eastern side the chapter-house was placed, with other apartments belonging to the common life of the brethren adjacent to it, and, as a common rule, the dormitory occupied the whole of the upper story. On the opposite or western side were generally the cellarer's lodgings, with the cellars and store-houses, in which the provisions necessary for the sustenance of the confraternity were housed. In Cistercian monasteries the western side was usually occupied by the "domus conversorum," or lodgings of the lay-brethren, with their day-rooms and workshops below, and dormitory above. The cloister, with its surrounding buildings, generally stood on the south side of the church, to secure as much sunshine as possible. A very early example of this disposition is seen in the plan of the monastery of St Gall. Local requirements, in some instances, caused the cloister to be placed to the north of the church. This is the case in the English cathedrals, formerly Benedictine abbeys, of Canterbury,
Although the covered ambulatories are absolutely essential to the completeness of a monastic cloister, a chief object of which was to enable the inmates to pass from one part of the monastery to another without inconvenience from rain, wind, or sun, it appears that they were sometimes wanting.
We learn from Osbern's account of the conflagration of the monastery of Christ Church, Canterbury, 1067, that a cloister with covered ways existed at that time, affording communication between the church, the dormitory and the refectory. We learn from an early drawing of the monastery of Canterbury that this cloister was formed by an arcade of Norman arches supported on shafts, and covered by a shed roof. A fragment of an arcaded cloister of this pattern is still found on the eastern side of the infirmarycloister of the same foundation.
The older design was preserved in the South, where "the cloister is never a window, or anything in the least approaching to it in design, but a range of small elegant pillars, sometimes single, sometimes coupled, and supporting arches of a light and elegant design, all the features being of a character suited to the place where they are used, and to that only"
The cloister of a religious house was the scene of a large part of the life of the inmates of a monastery. It was the place of education for the younger members, and of study for the elders.
At Canterbury the monks' school was in the western ambulatory,
For this purpose small studies, known as "carrols," i.e. a ring or enclosed space, were often found in the recesses of the windows. Of this arrangement there are examples at Gloucester, Chester and elsewhere. The use of these studies is thus described in the Rites of Durham: - " In every wyndowe" in the north alley "were iii pewes or carrells, where every one of the olde monkes had his carrell severally by himselfe, that when they had dyned they dyd resorte to that place of cloister, and there studyed upon their books, every one in his carrell all the afternonne unto evensong tyme. This was there exercise every daie." On the opposite wall were cupboards full of books for the use of the students in the carrols. The cloister arrangements at Canterbury were similar to those just described.
The larger monastic establishments had more than one cloister; there was usually a second connected with the infirmary, of which there are examples at Westminster Abbey and at Canterbury; and sometimes one giving access to the kitchen and other domestic offices.

75 Years of How We Listened to Our Music. A 33 1/3 phonograph, a turntable, a CD player and a MP3 player. All hi-tech for the day.
I added the wheels with the hubs and I will try to add the whitewalls myself, I don't know who they will turn out. I will dry fit everything to ensure all components go together before the painting process starts.

The Fourth Annual Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Fly Fest was held at Harman’s Luxury Log Cabins in Cabins, W.Va., Dec. 5-7. The event was hosted by the PHWFF Fort Belvoir and PHWFF Quantico Programs with 73 people attending, including 35 Wounded Warriors among the 50 combat Veterans. For 19 Warriors, it was the first time they had traveled to Harman’s: for four Warriors, this was the first time they had ever fly fished.
The weekend included hours of cold rain and drizzle and ended with a full day of sun on Sunday. As a milestone for the annual event, PHWFF owned all the cabins at Harman’s for the weekend.
The stream had been recently stocked by Harman’s with rainbow and brown trout, ranging in size from 17 to 20 inches. The waters were clear on Friday and fishable Saturday even during the constant rain. Sunday, the water was cloudy and fast. However, every Warrior landed fish during the three-day event. PHWFF Quantico invited Warriors from six different PHWFF programs.
Friday and Saturday evenings involved Warrior equipment giveaways and raffles prizes donated by supporters from around the country and Volunteer recognition. Friday evening included a “Fly Fishing 101” presentation by Duber Winters and Kaitlin Groundwater from the Woodbridge Orvis Store; they attended all weekend as Volunteer guides. Both evenings were filled with various fly tying instruction at different cabins on the Harman’s property. Volunteers and professional guides provided the free instruction.
For the first time, an action track motorized chair was used for a Warrior who had mobility and stability limitations. This chair allowed the Warrior access the river and fish along the bank. This Fort Belvoir Warrior was able catch his first-ever trout on a fly rod because of the availability to use the motorized chair loaned from Marine Corps Base Quantico Natural Resources Environmental Affairs.
This year’s event saw eight current Warriors transition to Volunteer Guides for new Warriors. The Warriors expressed interest in wanting to give back by helping new fly fishers learn how to catch fish.
Bigg Riggs Farm, owned by Calvin Riggleman (AKA Bigg Rigg), a Marine combat Veteran and small farmer from Loom, W.Va., provided all meals for the three-day event. Bigg Rigg has been catering for Harman’s events for PHWFF the past four years; he caters for each of our biannual trips. This year, for something new, Bigg Rigg provided a roasted, 125 pound pig on Saturday night.
Event coordinators organized a food drive for the local Petersburg Interfaith Food Pantry and asked all attendees to participate. A total of 750-800 pounds of food were donated. The pantry director visited the event on Saturday and humbly accepted the donations.

Rubbish. Nothing would work today, this was the 200th shot of the day or thereabouts, taken at my desk after just discovering all the others I had taken earlier hadn't come out. Day 40, first day it felt like a chore not a challenge. So much time wasted today.
"Project 7 is a single-seater sports car based on the F-TYPE, with the kind of racing-inspired form that designers dream about. It has one purpose: to be driven fast and enjoyed.Jaguar sports cars are known for exceptional performance and clean design. Project 7 captures that spirit in its purest form."
A project I put together with items I had on hand...old cardboard, old vintage prints, fabric remnants and a cut out from a botanical print I had. I like the fact that it's all on cardboard :-)
