Valtteri Bottas heads down the pit lane during first practice at the 2016 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. He is reflected in the mirrored windows of the hospitality suites above the garages.
King Charles II granted the lands of St Leonard's Forest, of which Leonardslee was a part of, to his physician Sir Edward Greaves. It was kept as a woodland for hunting.
Eventually the Aldridge family took over. A portion of the estate was sold to Charles George Beauclerk in 1803. He introduced many of the palms, conifers, camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias.
c1852, wealthy merchant, William Hubbard, purchased Leonardslee. He added 57 acres to the estate making it 1,000 acres. As well as adding to the plants, he built the house, formally known as St Leonard's Lodge and now renamed Leonardslee.
Sir Robert Loder purchased High Beeches c1847 and his son Sir Edmund Loder acquired Leonardslee in 1889 from his father-in-law William Hubbard.
Sir Edmund Loder lived here for 30 years during which time he erected a rock garden from a concrete-like material called 'Pulhamite'. Loder created the loderi hybrids of rhododendrons. He also introduced a colony of wallabies still on the estate today.
Sir Edmund Loder died in 1920 and ownership passed to his wife. In 1945, Sir Edmund’s grandson Sir Giles Loder took over but eventually sold off over 900 acres.
In 1981, Giles’s son Robin becomes the garden custodian, managing it until 2010 when they were sold and closed to the public.
In 2017 the gardens were acquired by Penny Streeter and the Benguela Collection Hospitality Group.
There are 7 lakes, all manmade. In the C16th they provided water for the local iron industry. In 1947 “Black Narcissus” was part filmed at Leonardslee.
Reflection in the ceiling light-fitting of the former baptistry (now the confessional) at Our Lady, Lillington.
The Catholic church of Our Lady in Lillington (now a suburb of Leamington Spa) was opened in 1963 and is quite simply one of the most stunning modern churches I've ever seen.
The building, designed by Henry Fedeski, follows the traditional cruciform plan but with a centrally placed altar at the crossing. However the most outstanding element here is the sheer abundance of (mostly) abstract stained glass, bathing the interior in a magical kaleidoscopic light.
The glass is the work of Dom Charles Norris, heading a team of monks who employed the dalle de verre (slab of glass) technique, wherein thick chunks of coloured glass are set in a concrete matrix. Norris is best known for his work at Buckfast Abbey, though the parish priest here tells me these windows were made at Prinknash.
The entire clerestorey of all four arms of the building consists of this rich abstract glazing. A round window enlivens the entrance facade (liturgically west but the church is actually orientated north to south) whilst the transepts are dominated by huge images of Mary and the Archangel Gabriel respectively (the only figurative elements in the glazing). There are yet further examples of this rich glass in three of the side chapels and annexes at ground level, all in all making a visit to this church an unforgettable experience.
This is a magnificent building which clearly deserves to be better known, there can be few such significant examples of dalle de verre glass in the country. (the church is normally locked outside of services).

In de Design Vlaanderen Galerie wordt de tentoonstelling "Reflections" herhaald die tijdens de vorige Milan Design Week in de Triënnale voor de eerste maal werd gepresenteerd. De tentoonstelling was een eerbetoon aan de Belgische ingenieurs Emile Foucault en Emile Gobbe die in 1903 het eerste mechanische systeem voor de productie van glas ontwikkelden, nl. het verticaal trekken van vlakglas. Dit zorgde wereldwijd voor een totale ommekeer in de glasnijverheid en het opende de weg naar de industriële productie van glas na de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Dat België aan de wieg ligt van de industrialisatie van vlakglas en er in België nog verschillende bedrijven zijn die samen met vele ontwerpers spiegels op de markt brengen was de aanleiding voor Reflections.
Maak kennis met niet enkel spiegels van Belgische designers maar ook andere voorwerpen met een spiegelend oppervlak, waarin het licht reflecteert en spiegelbeelden ontstaan. Eén voor één vormen ze hoogtepunten van design. Ontdek primeurs maar evengoed klassiekers van de hand van boeiende ontwerpers en bedrijven.
De ontwerpers: Leo Aerts (Alinea), Marina Bautier, Michaël Bihain, Susanna Campogrande & Lise Casalegno Marro (Allerretour), Xavier De Clippeleir, Alex De Witte, Simon Desmet & Timothy Macken (MaDe), Nathalie Dewez, Jean-François d’Or (Loudordesign studio), Luc Druez (LcD Textile Edition), Nedda El-Asmar & Erik Indekeu, Marie Gobert, Linde Hermans (Rode schoentjes), Bieke & Patrick Hoet, David Huycke, Bart Lens, Xavier Lust, Stefan Schöning, Diane Steverlynck, Ben Storms, Mathias Van De Walle (MVDW Workshop), Ann Van Hoey, Danny Venlet, Jules Wabbes, Sylvain Willenz.
De bedrijven: AGC Glass Europe, Dark, Deknudt Mirrors & Reflect+, Eternum, Fiam Italia, Ligne Roset, Linadura, Objekten, valerie_traan Gallery, Vervloet, Wever & Ducré, Zeri Crafts.
Three houses along a canal with their reflection in the water.
This is my first entry for We do it everyday, which has a list of 180 things to take pictures of. I decided to build them myself...
I did not photoshop this image except for contrast and sharpness - I actually built the houses twice and put them together.
Drie huizen langs een gracht, weerspiegeld in het water.
Dit is mijn eerste bijdrage aan We do it everyday, een groep met een lijst van 180 dingen om te fotograferen. Ik heb besloten om ze eerst zelf te bouwen.
Ik heb Photoshop alleen gebruikt voor contrast en scherpte - ik heb dus echt de huisjes 2x gebouwd en aan elkaar gezet.
