This is the Lenox "Eerie-Go-Round" carousel for their Halloween village. I just love it. It has rats, crows, and a broomstick on it.

Gorgeous weather.
G8 summit in town, naked protesters covered in mud.
Fort Calgary closed but we got in for free, pleasantly surprised how good it was.
Bit of a dull city otherwise.
Bus to Banff.
Nobody told me about the stormy wind with all the dust they make. But with 45-50 km/h I should have expected it.
Amtrak 80 with a B32 leader, 513, still sporting Ph 4 paint, rolls north at Grimes Road, in Petersburg VA. The train is about 5 minute from arriving at a station stop in Petersburg.
There are a lot of controversies attached to coffee and some of them are quite savage and need to be exposed readily across all winds. Often people are heard saying that coffee sets growth process back or even drinking coffee can result in cancer and other diseases as well.
2015 Severn Valley Railway Diesel Enthusiasts Gala. No line siding, I had my son with me, so I made do with other spots. Foggy start and, apart from a few minutes in the evening, rather dull and cloudy.
What's better than an octagon house? A hexadecagon church! The Round Church in Richmond, Vermont has sixteen sides, so it isn't truly round. The church was built in 1812 and initially hosted five denominations, along with town meetings.
The Round Church was also a very wet church on the day I visited. It was non-stop heavy rain as I drove across the state from St. Johnsbury to Burlington that day. Lots of flooding, washed out roads, and detours!
You spin me right round baby. Right round. [Wilcox Park, friends on the merry-go-round, seeing how fast they can go.]

Kettle's Yard House
Between 1958 and 1973 Kettle's Yard was the home of Jim and Helen Ede. In the 1920s and 30s Jim had been a curator at the Tate Gallery in London. Thanks to his friendships with artists and other like-minded people, over the years he gathered a remarkable collection, including paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones and Joan Miro, as well as sculptures by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
At Kettle's Yard Jim carefully positioned these artworks alongside furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects, with the aim of creating a harmonic whole. His vision was of a place that should not be
"an art gallery or museum, nor ... simply a collection of works of art reflecting my taste or the taste of a given period. It is, rather, a continuing way of life from these last fifty years, in which stray objects, stones, glass, pictures, sculpture, in light and in space, have been used to make manifest the underlying stability."
Kettle's Yard was originally conceived with students in mind. Jim kept 'open house' every afternoon of term, personally guiding visitors around his home. In 1966 he gave the house and its contents to the University of Cambridge. In 1970, three years before the Edes retired to Edinburgh, the house was extended, and an exhibition gallery added.
Today each afternoon (apart from Mondays) visitors can ring the bell and ask to look around.
