Owners of business retired a few years ago. Building was for sale, but apparently nobody has purchased. So recently it has been given a facelift. First painted all trim and columns, then re-roofed and most recently covered in siding. Furniture displays have been set up in the windows and parking lot in rear has been fenced in, but still no indication if new business coming in there. Property must still be the same owner, Coleman Williamson, as his name in paper when permits for improvements issued. Old Sprott's sign still sitting in front yard.
Corner of Grace St and Cambridge Ave. across from Main St. Methodist and First Presbyterian Churches, one block from uptown.

Multi-religeous Museumpark Oriëntalis, Heilig Land Stichting bij Nijmegen.
I was more interested in structures, textures and materials than in this museum itself
These learner scenarios & associated framework exemplify how students with language and literacy challenges might be scaffolded into an enquiry-based approach to learning.
To see the rainforest from a different angle, tourists can climb this structure, built originally for scientific observation. It's not for the faint of height!

The tour continues.
Each day now has the same structure: Get up at about seven, breakfast at half eight, meet at the vans at half nine for the drive to the first site, stay there two hours, drive to next site, have lunch before another two hours searching, and on the drive back to the hotel, one last stop of an hour or so, go to the square for a beer, debrief at seven fifteen before going for dinner at eight.
Rinse and repeat.
Monday was the same as above. Each day the sites and butterflies are different, of course, and we never know if we will see what we hope to see at each site.
Breakfast is simple: a roll or two, yogurt, coffee, then back to the room to prepare to leave.
Unlike the previous tour, we try to rotate which bus we sit in each day, so not to create cliques, I sit in Dave's bus, though Gillian in the front seat talks all say, all day about nothing really, just to fill the silence, and is certain she is right about everything.
Again through the mountains, poor villages, and bright green lush fields before we turn down a track through a forest to come to a wide grass area, which had a small bog at the bottom, too muddy for much exploring, and anyway these early season butterflies don't frequent the bog. Our target was the Spring Ringlet.
We wander off, and despite it being warmer than the day previous, butterflies were slow to wake up, so it was an hour really before we saw any. Two tattered Iberian Scare Swallowtails delighted us all, as they fed on fresh Blackthorn blossom, and the usual suspects of Orange Tips, Provence Orange Tips, Queen of Spains all flew through.
Up on the wooded slope, news came that the Ringlets had been found, so we go off to explore, with only a couple of folks getting shots. We did find the first orchid of the trip, a tiny Early Purple growing in the shelter of a hollow.
Back down to the vans for a short drive to the lunch site, near a waterfall.
It was already very warm, so I sat on the tailgate while the others went off, however I would be rewarded with fine views of a newly emerged European Swallowtail, an Iberian Sooty Copper and a Green Underside Blue.
Which was all nice.
On the road again to the final site, a narrow country lane leading to a ravine, where in an abandoned field, we had hoped to see the rarest of the lot, a Sooty Orange Tip.
In fact the site was rich in butterflies, with many Blues, and the other Two Orange Tips, a Provencal Fritillary.
A shout went out, and news that a Sooty Orange Tip had been seen, and indeed it had. The flighty butterfly was speeding round the field with half the group in pursuit, it likes only Hoary Mustard to feed on, and it did pause twice, but I wasn't fast enough to get shots. It flew off and was last seen disappearing into the afternoon haze.
The WINSTANLEY HEAPSTEAD (5) of 1913-14 is a substantial brick structure which comprises a brick tower that supports and encases the headgear and a two-storey winding house. The two parts of the building are connected via an open concrete floor slab at first-floor level with open-arched masonry side walls. This was originally roofed over, but the roof has been removed and the side walls have been lowered. The building has timber doors, metal-framed windows set in rendered surrounds, some with brick relieving arches and concrete balconies. It was fitted with ‘a 12ft Schiele-type fan driven by a pair of 28" x 36" horizontal engines'; the fan and silencer remain in situ. The electric winding engine, which replaced a steam winder, is situated on the first floor. It is a relatively small, geared parallel drum winder; the mechanical parts by Tinsley of Darlington, and the electric motor and control gear by Metro-Vickers. The operating manual states that the engine dates from 1967, but this may refer to the date it was installed in the heapstead since this type of engine was developed in the 1930s and 1940s. The headgear is steel.

Trying out my new lense while on crutches. I just walked around the corner from my flat and took some shots if the old mill.
Feldherrnhalle
The most prominent structure on the Odeonsplatz is the Feldherrnhalle or Field Marshal's hall, which from many angles, makes the Odeonplatz look like an Italian square.
The Feldherrnhalle consists of three arches, with at the entrance between two Bayern lions. The building was designed in 1841 by Friedrich von Gärtner after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy on request of Ludwig I in honour of Bayern generals.
Of the two lions which grace the steps, it is said that one is growling at the Residenz and the other is keeping its mouth shut towards the church. They were sculpted by W. Ruemann in 1906.
The central sculptural group was added in 1882, The monument, dedicated to the Bavarian army, was designed by Ferdinand von Miller. It commemorates the Franco-Prussian War.
