"Quinag is a magnificent and complex mountain with three summits attaining Corbett status. The ascent of all three is one of the finest hillwalks in Scotland, with fine peaks, dramatic ridges and stunning views. If the full walk is too much, the ascent of the first peak (with a return the same way) is a short and fairly straightforward hillwalk with rewards out of all proportion to the effort involved. The mountain is under the stewardship of the John Muir Trust." ©Walkhighlands
“Niagara Falls of the West”
As the U.S. entered the electric age, the 30 to 40 feet of water height, or “head,” at the falls was a natural for power generation, and the location was promoted as the “Niagara Falls of the West.”
Using generators originally employed in a Portland sawmill, the Willamette Falls Electric Company, a precursor of Portland General Electric, produced the nation’s first long-distance transmission of electricity on June 3, 1889. Power traveled from Station A in Oregon City to the streetlights in Portland 14 miles away.
The T.W. Sullivan Plant is born
Station B opened on the West Linn side of Willamette Falls in 1895. PGE closed Station A in 1897, but B continued operation, taking the name in 1953 of the PGE hydraulic engineer who designed the station, Thomas W. Sullivan. The entire development was called the Willamette Falls Hydroelectric Project.
By that year, the plant was generating 16,000 kilowatts, which it still does today.

Located at 705 North Dixie Avenue in Cookeville, this building was originally built in 1969 and was formerly known by the following names: Varsity Cinema Theatre, Varsity Twin, and Alumni Building. The Varsity Cinema Theatre held its grand opening ceremony on September 11, 1969 and was not an official university building at the time if its conception. The movie theatre operated from 1969 until 2001. In 2014 Tennessee Tech acquired the former Varsity Cinema Theatre where it operated as the Alumni Building. On the 50th anniversary of the Varsity Theatre's grand opening, Tennessee Tech renamed it the Varsity Building. In 2017, the building was renamed the Leonard and Gladys Crawford Alumni Center in honor of two individuals who had such great impact on the Tech campus.
For nearly 3 decades, alumni and administrators Leonard & Gladys Crawford were among the most beloved figures on the Tech campus. Leonard, a member of Tech’s class of 1929 – the first baccalaureate class – is noted for his efforts in growing the Alumni Association. He also directed Tech's alumni and job placement offices, student recruiting and campus workshops. Gladys, a 1935 graduate, ran Tech's cafeteria for many years as head dietitian.
The Crawford Alumni Center is housed in the Tennessee Tech Varsity Building on the corner of 7th St. and Dixie Ave. The Center manages alumni engagement, annual giving and stewardship efforts for the university and is the main point of contact for the Tennessee Tech Alumni Association.
Though nearly half a century has passed since the Crawford's service to Tech, alumni still remember them with fondness. Leonard and Gladys Crawford were leaders in both school spirit and campus life – and that's a role the Crawford Alumni Center strives to fulfill today with the experiences they offer to alumni and friends of Tech.

I'm doing a bit of PR so I lifted this from somewhere::
I went to visit this ‘Fortress by the Sea’ on the beautiful North Wales Coast. For a self-catering holiday in North Wales, you have to go far to beat the location at Fort Belan, right on the tip of the peninsula overlooking the Menai Strait and Isle of Anglesey. I spoke to the owner Christopher Blundell to find out what is so unique about this place.
Christopher says: ‘It’s a great place for water sports, the water is tidal but it is a natural sheltered harbour, and there’s lot of variety here along the coastline. The fishing here is excellent – mostly seabass. Plus it’s only a half-mile walk to the sandy beach, and you can swim safely nearby.
‘We have five cottages in the fort and have recently added ‘Dock Cottage’ onto the market. As we are right on the water, guests can even bring their own boat by arrangement as the area here is great for sailing and kayaking (but we don’t encourage jet skis!).’
Some families have been coming to stay here for over 30 years – but it is only recently now under the stewardship of Christopher that Fort Belan is realising its true potential.
Fort Belan was originally built by the first Lord Newborough (the eighth Lord Newborough owns the Rhug Estate near Corwen, famed for it’s organic beef) in 1775 as there was a fear of imminent invasion by the French. A garrison was stationed here throughout the subsequent Napoleonic Wars
After Napoleon’s Waterloo, the garrison was moved out and the fort was kept purely for leisure craft. Boats took sightseers every day from Caernarfon, but the fort’s popularity tailed off in the 1980s, so the Newboroughs sold it, which is how it ended up in the hands of John Blundell – Christopher’s father.
Following a career in the chemical industry (teaching companies how to minimise environmental impacts), John set up Fort Belan as a marine research unit, with marine biologists from Bangor University, with a project to restock the local seabass.
Then, five years ago, Chris took it on to develop the holiday lets as there was clearly so much potential. It required a total refurbishment (Chris’s mother lends a hand with the interior design), and the work continues with extra facilities being added all the time.
Fort Belan is a Grade One listed site, and there is a fundraising group, ‘The Friends of Belan’, who assist in providing some of the funds for the very expensive upkeep of this wonderful relic of a bygone age.
Chris says: ‘It’s a great place for weddings – up to 45 guests can stay in the fort itself. The music room in the fort is licensed to hold civil ceremonies, and the adjoining lawns are perfect for marquees. Families can bring their own caterers and the privacy and beauty of the location just make it a perfect site for a memorable wedding weekend for all.
‘Most people who stay here like to just be themselves. It’s a great spot for birdwatching, and people have spotted over 200 different species here. The Foryd Nature Reserve is only 10 minutes walk away – it is such a great spot for wildlife as there just aren’t many people there, there is a tidal estuary, a river and sheltered coastline so its a real haven for wildlife.
Look out for plans to be announced soon that locally caught seabass will be available to guests – a wonderful fish to simply grill or barbecue. Guests can cook out of doors; Chris will provide guidance. They are also keen to encourage activities, such as RIB riding (Rigid Inflatable Boats) – you can be picked up from the Fort and ride out into the straights or further out to sea, where you can catch glimpses of seals and dolphins.
NS H55 heads down the former EL at Arden, NY. In years past this was the EL's main freight route, hosting trains such as SF100, Advance NY100 and the high priority UPS trains. Slowly downgraded in importance by Conrail what you see is the one freight the travels the line, usually in darkness as NJT / Metro North West of Hudson service is the major player here, as MNR is leasing the line from NS. A shot I've wanted to get for many years finally presented itself in February of 2021. The Tier was always an enigma for me during Conrail's stewardship. Never in the right place at the right time, or "you should have been here yesterday!". All before the instant information of the various internet groups that we take for granted today. Sometimes you take what you can get.

Queens Fall Stewardship Day involved moving a lot of rocks from the tree planting area to the dumpster.
Developed countries rely far too much on one-time-use plastics. The effect on the environment is disastrous.
One of the zoos I serve as a volunteer is promoting awareness, and asking people to consider alternatives. I happened to see this abandoned plastic bottle at that same zoo.
A few weeks ago my dad sent me this article about real stewardship and how we believers should “love not the world.”
Every once in a while (actually, more like every day) we need a reminder of how we should live- A reminder that we don’t belong in this world and will never fit in.
Instead of going at it and re-explaining things that the author wrote, go read it for yourself. It is long and difficult to read at times because of his complex wording and many facts, but it is well worth it!
The full quote: All the vanity of this evil world with its devices is passing away. It is not lasting, but temporary. It has already begun to putrefy. It is a corpse not yet buried. But the person who really does the will of God has the breath of eternal life. He is part of the living body of Christ.

One of the thirteen Zodiarchs, powerful Great Beings/deities who represent the star signs and their constellations, chosen by a powerful and mysterious being known as the First.
Nyctoria represents Scorpio, the eighth star sign, having ascended from her mortal form as a being of pure shadow by confronting her inner darkness in destroying her progenitor, Makuta Teridax.
The First granted Nyctoria the powers of the Red Star and stewardship of the cycle of death and rebirth.
--------------------------------------------
The extra title by her name is a reference to Hyperion, the Titan who fathered Helios (Sun), Selene (Moon), and Eos (Dawn) in Greek mythology. And, of course, astrology and space stuff are themes here as well.

Lunch time @ Ottawa's Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica.
The site was originally home to the small wooden St. Jacques Church built in 1832. This structure was destroyed in 1841 to make way for a larger church, designed by local builder Antoine Robillard and Father John Francis Cannon who requested a Neo-classical design.
However, in 1844, after the lower section was completed, the Oblate Fathers (OMI) assumed stewardship of the parish and Father Pierre-Adrien Telmon was sent from France to finish the construction. Father Telmon decided to redesign the church into a Neo-Gothic structure, a style which was growing in popularity. This resulted in the lower features, such as the main entrance, being Neo-Classical, while the upper portions of the structure are Neo-Gothic.
The main structure was completed in 1846. In 1847, the church was designated the cathedral of Bytown and Joseph-Bruno Guigues was appointed the first bishop. He is honoured with a lifesize statue at the southwest corner of the cathedral grounds. In 1859, Father Damase Dandurand, OMI, designed the two Gothic spires which were added to the west front in 1866. Earlier, in 1849-50, he designed the Archbishop's Palace and in 1862-63, added the choir loft. In 1879, Pope Leo XIII designated the cathedral as a minor basilica.
The steeples are covered with tin, which is typical for French-Canadian churches, and house a peal of bells. The exterior is fairly reserved, but the interior is as far more ornate, designed by Georges Buillon. The interior of the church is brightly painted and decorated with carved features, exquisite stained glass windows and hundreds of statues of various religious figures. Louis-Philippe Hébert completed thirty large wooden sculptures in the choir. At the end of the choir, the Holy Family is completed with saints John the Baptist and Patrick, the patron saints of French and Irish Catholics.
James R. Bowes, architect, designed new galleries and other improvements in 1875.
The Basilica is the oldest and largest church in Ottawa and the seat of the city's Roman Catholic archbishop. Its twin spires and gilded Madonna are easily identifiable from nearby Parliament Hill and the surrounding area. The church was last renovated and restored in the late 1990s. Services are held in both French and English.
Governor General Georges Vanier and Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier both were given state funerals at the Cathedral.

USS Olympia (C-6/CA-15/CL-15/IX-40) is a protected cruiser that saw service in the United States Navy from her commissioning in 1895 until 1922. This vessel became famous as the flagship of Commodore George Dewey at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The ship was decommissioned after returning to the U.S. in 1899, but was returned to active service in 1902.
She served until World War I as a training ship for naval cadets and as a floating barracks in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1917, she was mobilized again for war service, patrolling the American coast and escorting transport ships.
Following the end of World War I, Olympia participated in the 1919 Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, and conducted cruises in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas to promote peace in the unstable Balkan countries. In 1921, the ship carried the remains of World War I's Unknown Soldier from France to Washington, DC, where his body was interred in Arlington National Cemetery. Olympia was decommissioned for the last time in December 1922 and placed in reserve.
In 1957, the U.S. Navy ceded title to the Cruiser Olympia Association, which restored the ship to her 1898 configuration. Since then, Olympia has been a museum ship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is now part of the Independence Seaport Museum. Olympia is the oldest steel US warship still afloat. However, the Museum has been unable to fund essential maintenance for the old ship, and attempts to secure outside funding have failed. Therefore the current steward, under direction of the US Navy has put the ship up for availability to new stewards. It will take an estimated ten million dollars to put Olympia in a stable condition.
Olympia was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
As of 2012, Olympia's future was uncertain; repairs are desperately needed to keep the ship afloat. Four entities from San Francisco, California, Beaufort, South Carolina, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC, are vying to be a new steward, but it is a race against time due to the waterline deterioration of the hull. As the current entities are in competition for the ship, no significant repairs have been made, although the current steward has done some minor repairs. In reaction to this gap in coverage, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) has set up a fund repository which, if funds are raised, will be directly applied to immediate repairs of the vessel with the cooperation of the current steward. At the present time, March 2012, the NTHP is considering a triple application by the Naval Historical Foundation, the Historic Naval Ships Association, and the National Maritime Association to have Olympia placed on the NTHP's list of the eleven most endangered "places". The steward applicants from San Francisco (Mare Island), and Beaufort, S.C., have endorsed the application. Despite these positive steps, Olympia is in critical danger due to the lack of funds.
Since 2011, Independence Seaport Museum has renewed its commitment to the continued preservation of the Cruiser Olympia until the Transfer Application Process reaches its conclusion in summer 2014. The Museum has invested in extensive stabilization measures including reinforcing the most deteriorated areas of the hull, expanding the alarm system, installing a network of bilge pumping stand pipes (which will provide greater damage control capability in the unlikely event of a hull breech), extensive deck patching and extensive repair and recoating of the ship’s rigging. Although still in need of dry docking and substantial restoration, the Olympia is in a more stable condition now than it has been for years. This work was made possible by donations from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, The U.S. Cruiser Sailors Association and many individual donors.
Of the six candidates that originally applied for stewardship of the cruiser Olympia, only two remain: an organization in California and an organization in South Carolina. The Museum continues to seek resources to preserve the ship for education and interpretation. The ship will remain open to the public seven days a week from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and until 7:00 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

High Line volunteers Anne Heany spends an early morning hand watering drought-tolerant plants along the High Line an elevated railway line owned by the City of New York, today the High Line is a 1.45-mile-long linear public park maintained, operated, and programmed by Friends of the High Line, in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, on Tuesday, September 15, 2015. High Line was opened in 1934 and moved goods to and from Manhattan’s largest industrial district until 1980. The third and final phase officially opened to the public on September 21, 2014. The High Line's green roof system with drip irrigation is designed to allow the planting beds to retain as much water as possible; because many of the plants are drought-tolerant, they need little supplemental watering. When supplemental watering is needed, hand watering is used so as to tailor the amount of water to the needs of individual species and weather conditions, and to conserve water. High Line is independently funded from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (USFS). Urban forestry and green spaces are priority areas for USFS. With 80 percent* of the nation's population in urban areas, there are strong environmental, social, and economic cases to be made for the conservation of green spaces to guide growth and revitalize city centers and older suburbs. Urban forests broadly include urban parks, street trees, landscaped boulevards, public gardens, river and coastal promenades, greenways, river corridors, wetlands, nature preserves, natural areas, shelter belts of trees and working trees at industrial brownfield sites. Urban forests are dynamic ecosystems that provide needed environmental services by cleaning air and water helping to control storm water, and conserving energy. They add form, structure, beauty and breathing room to urban design, reduce noise, separate incompatible uses, provide places to recreate, strengthen social cohesion, leverage community revitalization, and add economic value to our communities. Urban forests, through planned connections of green spaces, form the green infrastructure system on which communities depend. Green infrastructure works at multiple scales from the neighborhood to the metro area up to the regional landscape. This natural life support system sustains clean air and water, biodiversity, habitat, nesting and travel corridors for wildlife, and connects people to nature. Urban forests, through planned connections of green spaces, form the green infrastructure system on which communities depend. Urban and Community Forestry (UCF) is a cooperative program of the US Forest Service that focuses on the stewardship of urban natural resources. UCF provides technical, financial, research and educational services to local government, non-profit organizations community groups, educational institutions, and tribal governments. The program is delivered through its legislative partners, the state forestry agencies in 59 states and US territories. Forest Service cooperative programs are currently being redesigned to make more effective use of federal resources. Programs will be focused on issues and landscapes of national importance and prioritized through state and regional assessments. Over the next five years an increasing percentage of funding will be focused on landscape scale projects. Three national themes provide a framework for this work: conserve working forest landscapes; protect forests from harm; and enhance benefits associated with trees and forests. More information and upcoming webinars on December 9, 2015 | 1:00pm-2:15pm ET; January 13, 2016 | 1:00pm-2:15pm ET; and February 10, 2016 | 1:00pm-2:15pm ET can be seen at *http://www.fs.fed.us/ucf/program.shtml.

So much bro-dawggery at Lake Cushman anytime the weather's hot, you'd think there was a large academically unselective state college nearby with a bustling Greek system, but no. At least they bagged their empties before drunk-driving back to Bremerton.

Hinton Ampner is a Grade II listed Neo-Georgian style property located in the parish of Bramdean and Hinton Ampner, near Alresford, Hampshire, under the care of the National Trust. The site was originally settled in the 140s as a large Tudor House under the ownership of the Stewkeley family. A descendant subsequently demolished that house in favour of a new building
The current house was built in 1793 and remodelled extensively in 1867 under the stewardship of the Dutton family. The house was again remodelled again in the Neo-Georgian style by Trenwith Wills and Lord Gerald Wellesley for Ralph Dutton between 1936 and 1939, the work was completed in 1940 but later largely destroyed by fire in 1960, and was restored agaim to how it was in 1936 by Ralph Dutton. The property is now noted both for the house and extensive gardens, and for Ralph Duttons extensive collections.
Ralph Dutton, with no direct heirs, gave the estate to the National Trust, on his death in 1985.

To view more of my images, of Audley End House and gardens, please click "here" !
Audley End House is largely an early 17th-century country house just outside Saffron Walden, Essex, south of Cambridge, England. It was once a palace in all but name and renowned as one of the finest Jacobean houses in England. Audley End is now only one-third of its original size, but is still large, with much to enjoy in its architectural features and varied collections. It is currently in the stewardship of English Heritage though remains the family seat of the Lords Braybrooke. The nearby Audley End railway station is named after Audley End House. Audley End was the site of a Benedictine monastery (Walden Abbey), granted to the Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Audley in 1538 by Henry VIII. It was converted to a domestic house for him, known as Audley Inn. This dwelling was later demolished by his grandson, Thomas Howard (the first Earl of Suffolk and Lord Treasurer), and a much grander mansion was built, primarily for entertaining King James I. The layout reflects the processional route of the King and Queen, each having their own suite of rooms. It is reputed that Thomas Howard told King James he had spent some £200,000 on creating this grand house, and it may be that the King had unwittingly contributed. In 1619, Suffolk and his wife were found guilty of embezzlement and sent to the Tower of London. However, a huge fine secured their release, but Suffolk died in disgrace at Audley End in 1626. At this time, the house was on the scale of a great royal palace, and soon became one after Charles II bought it in 1668 for £5 for use as a home when attending the races at Newmarket. It was returned to the Suffolks in 1701. Over the next century, the house was gradually demolished until it was reduced to its current size. However, the main structure has remained little altered since the main front court was demolished in 1708, and the east wing came down in 1753. Some rooms have been substantially remodelled, though, especially the huge Hall. Sir John Griffin, later fourth Baron Howard de Walden and first Baron Braybrooke, introduced sweeping changes before he died in 1797. In 1762, Sir John commissioned Capability Brown to landscape the parkland, and Robert Adam to design new reception rooms on the house's ground floor, which he did in the style of the 18th century with a formal grandeur. The Great Drawing Room proved problematic as it had to be the grandest room for receiving guests, but it possessed a very low ceiling, and this was considered most undesirable at that time. Robert Adam solved the problem to a large extent by making the furniture unusually small and lowering the chair rail. His design of the Little Drawing Room for the Ladies was exceedingly odd, based on the style of ancient Rome, and Lady Griffin had difficulty moving between the columns when dressed in her evening gown. The third Baron Braybrooke, who inherited house and title in 1825, installed most of the house's huge picture collection, filled the rooms with furnishings, and reinstated something of the original Jacobean feel to the State Rooms. Audley End was offered to the government during the Dunkirk evacuation but the offer was declined due to the lack of facilities at the house. It was later requisitioned in March 1941. It was initially used as a camp by a small number of units before being turned over to the Special Operations Executive. The SOE initially used the house as a general holding camp before using it for the Polish branch of the SOE. A memorial to the 108 Poles who died in the service stands in the main drive. After the war, the ninth Lord Braybrooke resumed possession, and in 1948 the house was sold to the Ministry of Works, the predecessor of English Heritage. Lord Braybrooke moved to the Abbey House in the grounds of Audley End, an irregular L-shaped two-storey house with an early 17th-century timber-framed and 19th-century brick core. It was remodelled by Sir Albert Richardson and Eric Houfe in the 1950s and then enlarged to three times its former size by Philip Jebb in 1967-70 for the Hon. Robin Neville. Symmetrical north front with two canted bay windows in the centre. The building history is most apparent from the south, where the gables of the first house can be seen behind those of the 19th-century rear wing. The house has interior decoration in Classical style by Dudley Poplack. The Capability Brown parkland still includes many of the mock-classical monuments, although some are not in the care of English Heritage. The grounds are divided by the River Cam, which is crossed by several ornate bridges, and a main road which follows the route of a Roman road. The park beyond the river is frequently used for open air concerts. There is also a miniature circular railway in the grounds. The walled kitchen garden in its grounds was painstakingly restored by Garden Organic, the UK's leading organic growing charity, in 1999 from an overgrown, semi-derelict state. Renovated to its former glory it now looks as it would have done in late Victorian times; full of vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.
