Corvin Castle, in Hunedoara, Romania, was laid out in 1446, when construction began at the orders of John Hunyadi (Hungarian: Hunyadi János, Romanian: Iancu or Ioan de Hunedoara). The castle was originally given to John Hunyadi's father, Voyk (Vajk), by Sigismund, king of Hungary, as severance in 1409. It was also in 1446 when John Hunyadi was elected as the regent-governor of the Kingdom of Hungary by the Diet.
The castle was built mainly in Gothic style, but has Renaissance architectural elements. It features tall and strong defence towers, an interior yard and a drawbridge. Built over the site of an older fortification and on a rock above the small Zlaști River, the castle is a large and imposing building with tall and diversely coloured roofs, towers and myriad windows and balconies adorned with stone carvings.

A drive by shot of a Rape Seed field in the early morning light. The tree on the horizon had obviously suffered a limb severance recently and provided a nice focal point along the tractor track line. The weather has been pretty unseasonable on my short break down here, but has produced some nice images to work with when I get back home.

The history of Buick Motor Company: David Dunbar Buick (September 17, 1854 – March 5, 1929) was a Scottish-born American inventor, widely known for founding the Buick Motor Company. He headed this company and its predecessor from 1899–1906, thereby helping to create one of the most successful nameplates in United States motor vehicle history.
Early life, family and education
Buick was born in Arbroath, Scotland. He and his family moved to Detroit, Michigan when he was two years old.
He left school in 1869.
Career
Buick quit school and worked for a company which made plumbing goods. When the company ran into trouble in 1882, he and a partner purchased it. At this time, Buick began to show his promise as an inventor, producing many innovations including a lawn sprinkler and a method for permanently coating cast iron with vitreous enamel which allowed the production of "white" baths at lower cost (although cast iron baths are uncommon nowadays, the method is still in use for enameling them). With the combination of Buick's innovation and his partner's sound business management, the company became quite successful.
Buick Motor Company
During the 1890s, Buick developed an interest in internal combustion engines and began experimenting with them. He was spending little time on the plumbing business, and his business partner became impatient with him. The partnership was dissolved, and the company was sold.
Buick now had the time and capital to work on engines full-time, and he set up a new company, the Buick Auto-Vim and Power Company, in 1899 to do so. The stated aim of the company was to market engines for agricultural use. Buick soon turned to the development of a complete car, rather than just an engine. He also concentrated on research and development at the expense of manufacturing and sales. The result was that he consumed his capital by early-1902 without having generated any significant return, only a single car.
In early-1902, he established the Buick Manufacturing Company, with the objectives of marketing engines to other car companies, and manufacturing and selling its own cars. Manufacturing and development problems ensued, and, at the end of 1902, Buick was out of money with only one car to show for his work. The concentration on development had produced the revolutionary "Valve-in-Head" overhead valve engine. This method of engine construction produces a much more powerful engine than the rival side valve engine design used by all other manufacturers at the time. Overhead valve engines are used by most car manufacturers today, but now only General Motors (GM) and Chrysler produce the "push-rod" variant with any regularity. Since overhead cam engines are design variants of overhead valve engines, all modern engines are derivatives of Buick's invention.
The money ran out again, and in 1903 Buick was forced to raise more money via a $5,000 loan (equivalent to $170,000 in 2023) from a friend and fellow car enthusiast, Benjamin Briscoe. With this financial help, Buick formed the Buick Motor Company, which would eventually become the cornerstone of the General Motors empire.
Later life and business failure
In 1906, Buick accepted a severance package and left the company that he had founded, with only one share of the company in his possession. Then president of Buick, William C. Durant, bought this share from him for $100,000 (equivalent to $3,400,000 in 2023).
After unsuccessful investments in California oil and Florida land, and an attempt (with his son Tom) to manufacture carburetors, Buick made a brief return to the automotive business in 1921, as president of the short-lived Lorraine Motors, and in 1923 with the design of the Dunbar, an automobile prototype.
In an interview with historian Bruce Catton in 1928, Buick admitted that he was almost completely broke, unable to even afford a telephone, and worked as an instructor at the Detroit School of Trades.[4] He died of colon cancer on March 5, 1929, at the age of 74 and was buried at Woodmere Cemetery in Detroit.
Commentator Theodore F. McManus noted that "Fame beckoned to David Buick. He sipped from the cup of greatness, and then spilled what it held."[4] In 2000, automotive historian Vincent Curcio observed that "To date, over 35,000,000 motor cars have been built in his name, which will never be lost to history."
He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1974.
Continuing on the subject of trees, it's so sad to see several big ancient trees have blown down in this year's gales in our local piece of woodland. There again, it's a new habitat for bugs and fungi.
In my younger years, I've always wanted to take the train across Canada. "The Canadian" was the dream. When VIA Rail announced major cuts in funding and routes in 1989, the largest wound was to be "The Canadian". Oh, it was still to exist, but that would be the re-badging of the Super Continental, which rode the rails of the Canadian National. I wanted the Canadian Pacific route. THAT my friends was the ONLY route to ride across Canada. I went for it, booking a roomette on #1 out of Montreal, the second to the last #1. Getting to ride the last was not an option. It was booked way ahead, but you know, it was just as well. That train was a foam fest, press fest, crowds of tears fest, that was something I could do without. The second to the last was what the train should be, a peaceful journey. It wasn't without some fanfare. Many of the crews, both VIA and CP were on their last runs. Their families came out, both sad and celebratory. Some would transfer, or bump. Others took severance or retired. Either way, they were leaving and no press or crowds were there along the route to say, "Goodbye", just me. At Swift Current, Saskatchewan, we find one such person. The conductor of the lonely "1" looks over his train for the last time before taking it west. It would be a cold day in hell before this train was pried from the rails of CP, and it was.
The Masonic Temple and Performing Arts Center at 3615 Euclid Avenue was completed in 1921. The original plans for a high-rise office building addition to the temple, however, were never implemented. The Masonic Auditorium was home to the Cleveland Orchestra for ten years prior to the opening of Severance Hall in 1931, and it continued to be used as the setting for most of the orchestra’s recordings long thereafter as a result of its fine acoustics. The building also is home to the Cleveland Masonic Library and Museum, as well as budding arts groups like: Dancing Wheels (a wheelchair ballet group), RED: An Orchestra (an avant-garde ensemble) and The Singing Angels (a youth choir).
Established 1894. Paint job more recent!

Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison from 1100 until 1952 although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.

The universe, a sprawling tapestry woven with countless doors, endless corridors of time, and intricate labyrinths of fate, often presents a landscape where the lines between reality and illusion blur. In this fantastical realm, getting lost is tragically easy. Each closed door feels like a severance, a part of our soul and consciousness sealed behind those impenetrable walls, often with the keys permanently misplaced, condemning us to never revisit what lies beyond. Yet, there are serendipitous moments when we forget to firmly shut a door. These forgotten thresholds become unexpected portals, invitations from the Universe itself to relive cherished moments, to dip back into the magical memories of long-forgotten days.
Just so, as the last guitar chords resonated then slowly faded, and silence descended upon the dance floor, leaving everything suspended in stillness, some doors remained unlocked. Someone, perhaps, had forgotten to close them. Through unseen time portals, streams of ethereal strings continue to swirl through matter, their melodies playing on. Even when dismissed as mere ghosts of our imagination, they persist, weaving their silent symphony through the endless labyrinths and corridors of time.
For while all else may prove transient, fleeting like a whisper on the wind, music alone possesses an eternal quality, forever echoing in the forgotten spaces of our hearts.

~ While the sea is so cold
We leave the toys on the shelf
Try to kiss through the snow
And as the callous grow, the mild remain in here alone
If the cuts should fall from the air would the lines still hang somehow?
Could the walls regain in pride after all has dared to transpire?
Here in this severance were calmly incomplete ~
