A sharp crystal evening, golden sunlight casting long blue shadows. What a joy to arrive in Lower Slaughter and wander along the river with only the ducks, the jackdaws and a few hardy visitors for company. The jackdaws seem at home in the trees along the River Eye, occasionally descending to hop along the rooftops or to peer at discarded bread crumbs with their grey heads at an angle. Slaughter is thought to be a corruption of slohtre, a marshy place. Many visit Bourton on the water fewer travel an extra mile to see Lower Slaughter it’s smaller, quieter but equally picturesque neighbour.
Stone cottages line the north bank of the river with a small green at their centre, this miniature area of grass is known as The Square and has a Gothic drinking fountain as it’s only adornment.The clear stream water is only visible as it eddies round the piers of the low stone bridges that span it’s broad flow. Follow the canalised river to the upper end of the village and you will find a 19th century brick corn mill with white water crashing over the mill race and 15ft water wheel still turning with the flow. On the opposite bank towards the middle of the village are the Village Hall of 1887 and the National School by Edmund B. Ferrey 1871. Near where the road crosses the river the south bank is dominated by large and luxurious-looking hotel.
The church was rebuilt in 1866-7 by Benjamin Ferrey, the design draws on Early English and Geometrical Decorated styles and though it replaced a picturesque medieval building with a saddle-back tower the Victorian design sits well among the more ancient stone buildings that surround it. Only a Transitional Norman north arcade survives with scalloped capitals and waterholding bases joined by pointed double-chamfered arches. The church has a nave with a north aisle, chancel, south porch and a west tower with broached spire the tip of which was replaced in 1998. Elegant black marble shafts ornament the chancel arch but a similar use of marble in Ferrey’s east window was lost when Hoare and Wheeler provided a new east window and an Italian alabaster reredos depicting the Crucifixion in 1910. Next to the altar a 13th century piscina survives from the older church. The stone font and pulpit are part of Ferrey’s design and there are areas of floor tiling by Godwin. The east window has glass by James Powell and Sons and they provided the attractive design in the north aisle. The west window of the north aisle and the west tower window are by Clayton and Bell 1867. Most of the memorials in the church commemorate the Whitmore family who occupied the neighbouring manor House for more than 300 years. The west tower has six bells, one of c.1450 by Robert Hendley of Gloucester inscribed Santa Anna ORA Pro Nobis St.Anne pray for us. Two are dated 1683 by Edward Neale of Burford and three of 1867 by John Warner and Sons of London.
To the north-east of the churchyard is a 16th century dovecote which is said to have held 1000 birds.

The S was flickering, so it was like slaughter sign was laughing. Not sure if it was intentional or not. That's the Nobel Peace Centre in the background.
Biography:
As a photographer, I have the opportunity to interact with a variety of people, to spend time in nature and to continue my work in the underserved community. When photographing people, dignity is my guide while, with landscapes, it is the light and shapes of the natural world that engage my creativity.
In April 2012, I presented FACING FORWARD, an exhibition of the portraits and stories of 28 graduates of the Homeless Prenatal Program. This body of work celebrates the accomplishments of these courageous women. Currently, I am privileged to be photographing people at the end of life (with the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center); taking pictures on my daily excursions to Stow Lake; and photographing food for an upcoming book. Street photography is a new passion; I love getting close to people.
CCSF Photography and You:
Without the opportunities at CCSF, I would not be a photographer today. In 2009, I was working on a graduate degree in Art History at SFSU. One of the graduation requirements was a number of studio art classes. I heard from many students at SFSU that the studio classes at CCSF were exemplary – great teachers and reasonably priced. I started at CCSF with a design and drawing class and found I had some talent and a lot of interest. I then took a beginning photography class and was hooked. I loved the medium. At CCSF, I learned about editing, lighting and, most importantly, to take pride in my work.
I took classes at CCSF from 2009-2012. I enjoyed working with the people in the classroom and found the instructors extremely talented, dedicated to their work and very accessible. I have made a number of life-long friends at CCSF and have a new career as a photographer.
A family I was staying with were slaughtering a few sheep to sell to Ulaanbaatar, and I was kind of surprised how unemotional the experience was for me. They were – obviously – very unsentimental about the whole thing, and even the sheep seemed to accept their fate with a shrug, so I saw no reason to be upset.
The way sheep are slaughtered is you make an incision their chest cavity, which you reach your hand into, squeezing the aorta shut. It is a very efficient way of slaughter, and no part of the animal is lost – everything is eaten.
Life and attitudes in Mongolia are strongly influenced by Buddhism, with its deep respect for all live beings and nature. This, coupled with a harsh life, in a harsh environment where one cannot afford to waste, is one reason why all parts of an animal are put to use after slaughter.

Don't use your best knife. Not even your second best knife, like I did. It's ruined now. :)
Don't use your dough stick to hit it either, just go and get a hammer.

The new, recycled FREITAG SHOP ZURICH, is entirely made from used freight containers.
March 2006, the Containers arrived in Zurich. The steel-slaughter action starts... hard work for tough people!

From one of the corner pillars of the ponte Duca d'Aosta, leading to Foro Italico. The relief here is rather crude, and brutal with it.
The village of Upper Slaughter in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds is one mile away from Lower Slaughter and resides on a gentle grassy slope above the stream that connects the two villages.
Once the village was dominated by a Norman castle but all that can be seen of it today are the remains of the motte and bailey.
The building that dominates Upper Slaughter is the beautiful gabled Manor House which is one of the finest buildings in the area. The oldest part of the house dates from the 15th century but the front is Elizabethan. The Manor is now a hotel.
