The architecture in Morocco was a refreshing change from the shiny walls of glass that now line the streets of Toronto. Even when a building is considered to be of historical significance in Toronto and is therefore "protected", it is nothing more than the facade of the building that is "saved". This is a sad reality and more should be done to protect our architectural heritage.

It's easy to pick holes in the legend of Thomas the Rhymer. Many of the references to him and his predictions were written centuries after his death, but folklore is not necessarily unreliable just because it's verbal, and there's a good argument that in this case, where there's smoke there may once have been fire!
The problem is that the historical reality of True Thomas has been almost completely submerged in the tidal wave of myth and legend that has grown up around him over the centuries since. While it seems reasonable to dismiss the story that he "disappeared for seven years to live with the Queen of Elfland and returned to Ercildoune with the gift of prophecy", there are plenty of predictions attributed to him that may either be genuine or may have contained some degree of truth.
Popular lore recounts that he prophesied some of the great events in Scottish history, including the death of Alexander III of Scotland in 1286. He is said to have told the Earl of Dunbar:
"On the morrow, afore noon, shall blow the greatest wind that ever was heard before in Scotland."
There having been no significant change in the weather by the time his lordship sat down for his lunch the following day, a "please explain" was sent to Thomas, who replied that the appointed hour had not yet come, shortly after which, news arrived from Fife of the king's death.
Another of the Rhymer's predictions is said to go like this:
"When the Yowes o' Gowrie come to land,
The Day o' Judgment's near at hand"
A "Yowe" in the country parts of Scotland, is a ewe and the Yowes of Gowrie were two large rounded ovine looking rocks in the Tay estuary, just off the shore from Invergowrie, close to the outlet of the Fowlis Burn. Why and how should two large rocks ever come ashore you might well wonder? Well they had been observed over a period of many years to be getting slowly but surely closer to the shoreline! Or to be more precise, the shoreline was getting closer to them! Then in the 19th century they finally did come ashore. The Dundee to Perth railway line was built along that part of the coast line, seemingly just offshore of the yowes, after which the area to landward of the railway was used as a rubbish dump - supposedly burying the yowes in the process. So technically the yowes have "come to land", without triggering the Day of Judgement, although there are parts of Dundee where it probably can't come soon enough!
Perhaps my favourite of the Rhymer's prophecies, concerns Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire. He is said to have said:
"Fyvie, Fyvie thou'se never thrive,
lang's there's in thee stanes three :
There's ane intill the highest tower,
There's ane intill the ladye's bower,
There's ane aneath the water-yett,
And thir three stanes ye'se never get."
What does that mean when translated loosely into understandable English?
It is believed that there were three special stones at Fyvie - weeping stones. They remained permanently damp, whatever the weather and the whereabouts of two of them are unknown. The Rhymer's prediction is interpreted as meaning that until all three were located, no eldest son would succeed to his father at Fyvie. The 'Ladye's bower' is the castle's charter room, and the one surviving stone is kept there to this day. Whether there is another one built into the castles 'highest tower', nobody seems to know, but the biggest problem is the one said to be underneath the water-gate. This would place it in the River Ythan, which runs around the castle, and trying to identify a damp stone is a river is of course a difficult task!
So what about the prediction, that no oldest son would inherit? I have known this story, without questioning it, for most of my life, having been solemnly told that indeed, no eldest son had ever inherited the castle. But in the interests of science, I though I would spend some time now trying to find out whether that's true!
Fyvie was originally (before the time of the Rhymer a royal castle. We know that King Alexander II signed charters here in February 1222 and The Bruce stayed here in the early years of the 14th century. Since then, it has been owned by five families - the Prestons, the Meldrums, the Setons, the Gordons and the Forbes-Leiths.
Actually, technically, there were six families! In 1370, King Robert II granted Fyvie to his son and heir John (later Robert III), who in turn passed the castle to his cousin, Sir James Lindsay. However, in 1388 the Scots had a rare victory over the English at the Battle of Otterburn, during which Ralph de Percy was captured by Sir Henry Preston, the brother-in-law of Sir James Lindsay. When Robert III came to the throne two years later in 1390 he purchased the rights to Ralph de Percy's ransom by transferring ownership of Fyvie Castle from Sir James Lindsay to Sir Henry Preston. This would seem rather unfair, although I imagine Sir James would have been adequately compensated, but it does of course set the prophesy off in the right direction - Sir James' heir never inherited Fyvie!
So leaving Sir James Lyndsay to one side, the first effective owner of Fyvie in the post royal era, was Sir Henry Preston. When he died around the year 1433, he wasn't succeeded by his son, because he didn't have any! Fyvie went to Sir Alexander Meldrum of that ilk, who had married one of Sir Henry's two daughters.
Fyvie remained in the hands of the Meldrums for about 160 years, passing through the hands of several (probably five) generations of the family, but as we don't know the genealogy of this part of the Meldrum family, we can't say whether an eldest son ever inherited. Probably yes, but the accuracy of the prophesy can't be disproved! In 1596, Fyvie was sold by the Meldrums to Alexander Seton, later Chancellor of Scotland.
Alexander Seton, 1st Earl of Dunfermline and Chancellor of Scotland, was born in 1555. His first wife, to whom he was already married when he bought Fyvie, was Lillias Drummond and after producing five children for him, all girls, it is said that Lord Seton, blaming his wife for the lack of a son and heir, began an affair with her cousin (and future wife) Grizel Leslie. Betrayed and heartbroken Lillias died not long after learning of the affair, .
Lillias Drummond died in May 1601 and Lord Seton married Grizel Leslie a few months later in October 1601. On their wedding night at Fyvie it is said that they were both distracted by a 'mournful moaning' from outside their bedroom window. A search for the source of the noises produced no results but the next morning the words D. LILLIAS DRUMMOND were found carved into the stone sill outside their bedroom window, in letters three inches high and upside down, the window being over 50 feet above ground level. The letters remain visible to this day and since that time, Fyvie Castle is said to have been haunted by a lady in green, roaming the corridors of the castle, crying at her betrayal by her husband and leaving behind the scent of Rose petals!
How much of that is true, I don’t know, but what is true is that before her death in 1606, Grizel Leslie produced two daughters and a son Charles, and that Charles died young! It was up to Lord Seton's third wife to produce his successor, another Charles.
The eldest son and heir of Charles Seton, 2nd Earl of Dunfermline, also named Charles, died in 1672, just before his father! Alexander, the 2nd son became 3rd Earl of Dunfermline, but dying unmarried, the title passed to his brother James.
James Seton, 4th Earl of Dunfermline, died in 1694, also unmarried - which was somewhat immaterial because, having supported the Jacobite cause in the 1689 Rising, his castle and estate had already been confiscated by the crown. Fyvie remained a crown property until it was sold in 1733.
The purchaser in 1733 was William Gordon, 2nd Earl of Aberdeen. His wife at the time was Anne Gordon, daughter of the 2nd Duke of Gordon and their eldest son William inherited Fyvie from his father. But those that have read this far and are hoping the Rhymer's prophesy will hold true will be delighted to learn that Lord William Gordon had already been married, twice and had two sons by his 2nd wife. So once again, the eldest son and heir didn't inherit Fyvie.
General William Gordon, 1st of Fyvie died in 1816 when, unfortunately for Thomas the Rhymer, who now can never be taken seriously again, was succeeded by his only son William Gordon, 2nd of Fyvie Castle. He died without children in 1847, whereupon Fyvie passed to his nephew, Charles Gordon 3rd of Fyvie.
When the 3rd laird died in 1851, Fyvie passed to his son and heir, for the 2nd (and last) time that we know of in five centuries, William Cosmo Gordon. Either he or his executors put Fyvie up for sale and it sold in 1889 to the 5th and last family to own it.
Fyvie's new owner was Alexander John Forbes-Leith, later 1st Baron Leith of Fyvie. He was a local boy who had made his fortune in the steel industry in the US of A and used Fyvie to house his huge collection of paintings, tapestries, armour and furniture. His only son and heir, Percy Forbes-Leith, 2nd Lt Royal Dragoons, was killed aged 19 in 1900 during the Boer War.
In 1982 Fyvie Castle was once again placed on the market, and in 1984 it was purchased by the National Trust for Scotland.
So could Thomas the Rhymer predict the future? Well it's my belief he could do so every bit as accurately as Nostradamus!
Is it always wrong to have evidence of the photographer in the image they have created? Is it a post -modern reference to the innate subjectivity of all views? Deep man!
Three-storey retablo, a distinctive nativity scene from Peru, seen in the Museum Würth during an exhibition of cribs from all over the world, Gaisbach, Franconia (Baden-Wuerttemberg)
Some backrground information:
Retablos are a sophisticated Peruvian folk art in the form of portable boxes which depict religious, historical, or everyday events that are important to the Indigenous people of the highlands. The Spanish word retablo comes from the Latin retro-tabulum ("behind the table or altar"). This is a reference to the fact that the first retablos were placed on or behind the altars of Catholic churches in Spain and Latin America. They were three-dimensional statues or images inside a decorated frame.
Retablos probably originated with the Christian knights of the Crusades and the Spanish reconquista (the 700-year struggle against the Moors on the Iberian Peninsula). The Christian warriors, who frequently found themselves far away from their home churches, carried small portable box-altars for worship and protection against their enemies. These earliest retablos usually featured religious themes, especially those involving Saint James, the patron saint-warrior in the fight against the Moors.
Retablos came to the New World as small portable altars depicting nativity scenes and other religious topics used by the early priests to evangelize the Indigenous. In a syncretic process, the early retablos brought by the Spanish merged with Indigenous beliefs in the Andean region to acquire certain magical or symbolic properties which had been the attributes of local spirits before the conquest. These early South and Central American retablos were wooden boxes with figures inside carved from stone, ivory or wood.
Later, retablos evolved to include daily scenes in the lives of the Andean people, such as harvests, processions, feasts, and tableaux depicting shops and homes. The use of wood for the outside box remained, but other materials, such as gypsum, clay, or a potato-gypsum-clay paste mix, were increasingly used for the figures because of their ease of handling and durability.
As you can see, the retablo in this picture shows the Nativity in its top floor. In the middle floor some kind of celebration is shown, with lots of female and male musicians playing traditional Peruvian instruments. And in the bottom floor, a hat shop is depicted. The hats there bear a close resemblance to the typical North American ten-gallon hats. The three-storey box is carved from wood, while all figures inside are made from clay. I guess that the whole ensemble has a height of 80 centimetres, which means that it’s definitely no pocket size retablo, but one that was perhaps used as some kind of home altar.
In the 1940s more and more artists were using retablos as a vehicle for affirming and recording the distinct identity of the Indigenous people of the Andean region. They are also a defense of Indigenous culture and values in the face of the modernization and the penetration of their culture by the one of the white Hispanic elites of Lima.
If you drive through the countryside of the rural district of Hohenlohe with its pastures and little villages in the northeast of the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, you wouldn’t expect an art museum of international reputation being located in this area. However the museums Würth 1 and Würth 2 are and that has a particular reason: Both museums are attached to the headquarters of Würth Group, a multinational company and the biggest producer of screws in the world.
In 1954, the German billionaire Richard Würth took over a two-man business from his father at the age of 19 and made it a successful worldwide concern with almost 86,000 employees today. In the 70s, Würth began to collect art. Since then, he has collected roughly 18,500 works of art. His passion for collecting art even resulted in art becoming an important element of the Würth company culture. The most important works of art are made publicly available in altogether five museums of the Würth Group. All of them are freely accessible.

From The Scotsman, Monday 13 March 1922. -WAR MEMORIALS -NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY -IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY IN EDINBURGH- The North British Railway war memorial, a handsome bronze tablet which has been placed in the Booking Hall of the Waverley Station, Edinburgh, was unveiled yesterday afternoon by the Duke of Buccleuch in the presence of many relatives and friends of the fallen and a large representation of the general public. The platform party included the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl and Countess of Elgin, Mr William Whitelaw, chairman; Mr Charles Carlow, Mr A. K. McCosh, and Mr H. A. Anstruther, directors of the company; Mr J Calder, general manager; Mr J. Watson, S.S.C., solicitor; Major C. H. Stemp, operating superintendent, and other chief officers of the company; Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Davies, and the Rev. Dr Wallace Williamson. The memorial, an outstanding piece of work was cast in the foundry of Mr Charles Henshaw, 29 Murieston Crescent, Edinburgh, measures approximately 15 feet by 6 feet over all. It contains the names, ranks and calling of 775 men, arranged in nine columns divided into groups of three by two decorative pilasters bearing torches symbolic of life. The plate is surmounted by a cartouche bearing the Company's monogram with a conventional treatment of palm leaves. On each side are wreaths of thistle intertwined with a cartouche bearing the Scottish lion and St Andrew's cross respectively. A conventional border of laurel and oak surrounds the tablet. At the base is a separate plate, bearing the dedication as follows:- THIS TABLET IS ERECTED IN THE MEMORY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE STAFF OF THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANY WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1919. THE COMPANY'S WAR RECORD. The Duke of Buccleuch, who is deputy-chairman of the Company, in performing the unveiling ceremony, said in 1914 the staff of the Company was 24,625, and of that number 4836, or one out of every five, joined the colours. Of those who joined, 775, or one out of every sixteen, gave their lives. The Company were able to give special conditions in the way of pay and allowances - he would not say to encourage and induce men to join - but so as to enable those to do so might have other dependants than those whom the authorities provided for. Later the Government discovered that it was necessary that railway staffs should not be depleted further, and from that date no more were allowed to join. There were, however, several who resigned from the services of the Company to join up, and of those they had no record. There were probably about another 50 or 100 men in the service of the Company who gave their lives, and whose names were not on the tablet. He had now been nearly twenty-two years in the service of the Company and during seven years of these he had the honour to be chairman, and most of those who gave their lives were in the service of the Company during his period of office. The whole of the staff had always done the best they could for the Company and for the public. The same spirit that animated the staff, but in an infinitely greater degree, animated those who joined the forces in the time of danger. The destiny of our race had been to govern other races, and whether we liked it or not, our fate in the present, and probably in the future. In 1914 the challenge was thrown down to the whole world. The people of this country accepted that challenge. Why? For our own preservation, and because we were determined not to be governed by any nation in the world. In the end, this nation, although unorganised at the beginning of the war, was able to produce the finest and best army that the world had ever seen. That was a great achievement and a great record, and it is testified that if we were not the greatest we were one of the greatest nations of the world. Our very greatness inflicted on us burdens and responsibilities. Concluding, his Grace said that they had in the memorial a very humble but reverent tribute to what had been done for them by those who had lost their lives. We must not forget that we had difficulties to face and many privations to bear. But whatever those troubles were they were nothing compared to what those men had to face. We must not let the self-sacrifice and devotion of those who fell be in vain, and we must do what we could to make the country not only worthy of their sacrifice but worthy to carry on its great destiny in the future. The dedication was performed by the Rev. Dr Wallace Williamson. Thereafter the band of the 1st Battalion Highland Light Infantry played the Dead March in "Saul" which was followed by a lament by the pipers and "The Last Post" and "Reveille" by the buglers. The proceedings terminated by the singing of the National Anthem. Many wreaths were placed at the foot of the memorial at the conclusion of the ceremony, including one from the Chairman and directors of the Company and one from the chief officers. After the relatives, staff and friends had had an opportunity of viewing the memorial, the general public were admitted.

I realized that it may be difficult to get a sense of scale for some of my new creations, so I thought I'd provide a reference. From this point on, I'll be including a toa mata and a minifigure as reference in my future posts.

NRHP Reference#: 73001187
The Guaranty Building, which is now called the Prudential Building, was designed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, and built in Buffalo, New York.
Sullivan's design for the building was based on his belief that "form follows function". He and Adler divided the building into four zones. The basement was the mechanical and utility area. Since this level was below ground, it did not show on the face of the building. The next zone was the ground-floor zone which was the public areas for street-facing shops, public entrances and lobbies. The third zone was the office floors with identical office cells clustered around the central elevator shafts. The final zone was the terminating zone, consisting of elevator equipment, utilities and a few offices.
The supporting steel structure of the building was embellished with terra cotta blocks. Different styles of block delineated the three visible zones of the building. Sullivan was quoted as saying, "It must be every inch a proud and soaring thing, rising in sheer exultation that from bottom to top it is a unit without a single dissenting line."

Is the brick I found special?
Partnumbers 3001old, 3001 and 3001special as used on BrickLink (but excluding the 3001oldf1 and 3001f1 variants).
Not sure why I referenced the Dixie Chicks album/song. More for the long, nearly panoramic crop than the trip itself. And, the only war going on here is between greenhouse temperature increases and glaciers.

I really wanted to catch a 'glimpse' of the dynamics from the original picture.
I'm experimenting with different ways of shading and I'm trying to draw with 'gray spots' rather than with countours (as you can see -still not entirely successfully but I feel I'm getting... somewhere)
Any comments appreciated!
