Pre - retirement, this was a building that I saw with regularity, but with limited opportunity to photograph because there was just too much activity going on around it during "normal" business hours...
It was suggested that I go to the property when the operation was closed and the parking lot was empty, and I finally got around to it, even if only for a few minutes! Cheers!
When wealthy young Englishman Joseph Cyprian Fenn fled England and his family to this remote valley in far-flung South Island New Zealand in 1881 he purchased 600 acres of land and named his property Arcadia. Arcadia is a Greek word literally translating to paradise. Today the valley carries this name and the farm borders what is now Mount Aspiring National Park. Access to the Park is a gravel road through the farm a few miles further from this point.
Allington Castle is a Medieval 12th-century castle that lies about three miles north-west of Maidstone in Kent. It is fully furnished in character with its Medieval origins, with tapestries, antique furniture and Great Hall in which Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn dined with Sir Thomas Wyatt around 1530.
All that remains of the original castle is a section of wall and the kitchen fireplace built in 1174. The Castle was converted into a mansion house in 1491 when the Wyatt family acquired the property. It was severely damaged by fire in the late 16th century and was abandoned until 1905. The castle was then purchased and partly restored by Sir Martin Conway. Between 1951 and 1999 the castle was home to a convent of the Order of Carmelites.
Another beautiful custom made iron gate to a ranch property in the Hill Country of Texas. Had to show this gate before moving to a different part of Texas.
Another example of roadside photography, though going for an actual hike would have been much better for my health.
To be honest, the 502 corridor to Los Alamos is going through private property and a lot of pueblo land and is therefore fenced-in all the way. Climbing fences and trespassing is not recommended. Fortunately, the highway opens spectacular views to the one who looks for them.
I cropped out the sky because it wasn't that interesting. It's good sometimes to remember that a landscape photo does not have to have a sky or horizon line to have impact.
Shooting this landscape with a telephoto lens pulled in the distant mountains and gave them a lot more weight than they would have had in a wide angle shot.

1 Bishops Square, London, England
My apologies for not being particularly active as of late, I have just got quite a bit on at the moment and not had chance to get out with the camera in recent weeks and not had chance to upload here much, hopefully will get out with the camera soon and get some new material. I have a list of places I have been itching to visit and get some new work, so bare with me ;-).
Anyway, one for the archives and from one of my Open House outings from a few years back. 1 Bishops Square is a very modern building and has a wonderful art installation called 'Pixel Cloud' and it really does live up to its name. I could have spent most of the day photographing it.
If you get the opportunity to go to Open House London this September you should put this building on the list just for this highlight alone.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Location Information
Bishops Square is a large commercial property development in the Spitalfields area of London, England. Previously owned by Hammerson, and later jointly by Hammerson and the Oman Investment Fund, it is now owned by JP Morgan. It has been cited as an example of a privately owned public space in London.
At long last, made it to this infamous location on the NC500 route with that red roof - simply a matter of driving around the road far enough, something I've never done before. I would like to think that the owner of this property is having a bit of a laugh at all the tourists wanting its photograph and he has attached a ladder to the roof!
Thanks to SkyeBaggie for title inspiration!

Market Street is an important thoroughfare in San Francisco, California. It begins at The Embarcadero in front of the Ferry Building at the northeastern edge of the city and runs southwest through downtown, passing the Civic Center and the Castro District, to the intersection with Corbett Avenue in the Twin Peaks neighborhood. Beyond this point, the roadway continues as Portola Drive into the southwestern quadrant of San Francisco. Portola Drive extends south to the intersection of St. Francis Boulevard and Sloat Boulevard, where it continues as Junipero Serra Boulevard.
Market Street is the boundary of two street grids. Streets on its southeast side are parallel or perpendicular to Market Street, while those on the northwest are nine degrees off from the cardinal directions.
Market Street is a major transit artery for the city of San Francisco, and has carried in turn horse-drawn streetcars, cable cars, electric streetcars, electric trolleybuses, and diesel buses. Today Muni's buses, trolleybuses, and heritage streetcars (on the F Market line) share the street, while below the street the two-level Market Street Subway carries Muni Metro and BART. While cable cars no longer operate on Market Street, the surviving cable car lines terminate to the side of the street at its intersections with California Street and Powell Street.
Construction
Market Street cuts across the city for three miles (5 km) from the waterfront to the hills of Twin Peaks. It was laid out originally by Jasper O'Farrell, a 26-year old trained civil engineer who emigrated to Yerba Buena, as the town was then known. The town was renamed San Francisco in 1847 after it was captured by Americans during the Mexican-American War. O'Farrell first repaired the original layout of the settlement around Portsmouth Square and then established Market Street as the widest street in town, 120 feet between property lines. (Van Ness now beats it with 125 feet.) It was described at the time as an arrow aimed straight at "Los Pechos de la Chola" (the Breasts of the Maiden), now called Twin Peaks. Writing in Forgotten Pioneers.

Though on the main highway this occupied house sits across the street from a huge resort, and is adjacent to water and restaurants. The property is worth big $$.
This time of year there are so many beautiful wildflowers starting to bloom. I see new ones almost every day.

However, the bike is not hers, but a ‘’shared bike‘’,which is from the Bike-sharing business. She uses it to transport her belongings, angrily hostile to his surrounding and scursing angrily into the air. No one knows exactly what she had encountered.
Stokesay Castle is the finest and best-preserved 13th-century fortified manor house in England. It was fortified by Lawrence de Ludlow, a wool merchant, who received his 'License to Crenellate' from Edward I in 1291. This property is now in the care of English Heritage.

Turn up the music
Let's get out on the floor
I'll let it move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical and out of control
There's people watching me
I never miss a beat
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cos it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cos it feels like a overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mister DJ let the music take me underground
My body's aching
System overload
Temperature's rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated
Taking the show
It got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside
tiny lessons in geology
Q. 18 Name three gemstones
(Well I am really hoping that M8 will choose these three when "he" does his assignment ...
A. 18 Russian Amazonite, Dalmatian Jasper and Serpentine or New Jade.
Now some say that gemstones can have special powers - that's why people like to wear them. So in this tiny pic of me today, I hope that my thoughts of inspirational creativity, a feeling of being centered, and emotionally balanced touches each of my wonderful Flickr friends. Have a great day/ night wherever you are in this world!

It's a bit drafty and the mosquitoes are bad during the summer but the view is breathtaking. There were many interesting things to photograph on this property just North of Elk Island National Park.
Broke out the black dragon viewer after so long of being away from my laptop and the editing software <3

Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis), is also known as the crab-eating Macaque.
When we came across this macaque, she already had the orange peel. Probably discarded by someone treking the trail. Even though it was only the peel, she became overly possesive about keeping it. She was quite worried that I would steal it from her. She still was carrying it around 30 minutes later.

A shared love of simple, Southern living and revitalizing historic properties keeps Ben and Erin Napier busy in their hometown of Laurel, Mississippi. The Scotsman Woodshop is Ben's shop where numerous scenes for their HGTV show, Home Town, are filmed. From the General Store area of the building, fans can watch during filming via this window. Obviously, there was no filming going on during our visit but seeing this first hand after watching on the television was a cool experience. If you ever have the chance to visit Laurel...I recommend the trip!

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

I managed to take a quick walk on the golf course today while it was still sunny. Later it clouded up and started to rain. I don't play golf and have no intention to ever do it but I like the golf course because I think it's beautiful. The sign basically says that the place is private property (as it belongs to the local golf club) but that you are allowed to use the public paths which lead across the golf couse, as long as you don't step on the fairway and keep your dog on lead. It also says that if you cross the golf course you do it at your own risk, which means that if you are hit by a golf ball it's your own fault and not theirs. :)
Does anyone else get cold in the winter indoors? I'm on a drive to use my heating as little as possible this year. Part costs, part just being more efficient for the planet. I'm totally in love with wearing long skirts, layers, cosy roll neck jumpers and scarves. Staying warm and toasty here! Of course I use the heating on some days, but the thermal properties of a well put together woman's outfit are WAY better than the men's equivalent. I think we can solve the climate crisis if everyone wore a long skirt! ;)
This dress is not mine. It's my girlfriends and it's such a nice Christmas dress, isn't it? A nice weighty number. She has another massive bag of clothing for me soon from friends who are clearing out their wardrobes. Hopefully a new shoot from me soon!
One reason I'm smiling is the big painting behind me here has finally sold and the one to my right is in a gallery. I also just painted one of my favourites too, so on a creative high.
Plenty of fire crews on site following a fire in a residential property in the heart of Brighton. No casualties reported at this time...
I'm so happy, I got the confirmation on these cute-beauties!!! :))))))))
I will get them as a gift. :)
