This informal set of photographs captures various stages of a project to rebuild a camera obscure originally made by Peter Drew in England. The apparatus is slated for installation in a new, demountable structure located on the Observatory Deck at San Francisco's Exploratorium (end of Pier 15).

External support structure for a large fuel tank that changes size based on how full it is. Guess it was empty that day =)
edit: This no longer exists. To my surprise, it was torn down two weeks after this photo was taken.
Driving home from Birmingham down a small lane about ten miles from home. Could see a small section of this and then turned a corner and this massive structure was infront. It was the same distance the other way!
Perfect tour with:

Exposed stitching is very pretty and could be decorated with beads or charms. This is a longstitch with kettle stitches at top and bottom.

Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Chanthaburi.
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is a Catholic church and is located in the city of Chanthaburi, in the province of the same name, in Thailand. The cathedral, visible from most of the city, was formally inaugurated in 1909 as one of the largest Catholic churches in Thailand. It was built on a previous structure of more than 300 years. It was constructed in Gothic style during the 10 years of occupation by France on this territory although it remained unfinished at that time (1893–1904). There is a statue of the Virgin Mary in front of the Cathedral.
The centre piece of the inside of the cathedral is the statue of the Virgin Mary. It is covered by semi precious gems donated by the local congregation – estimates of the number of gems range from 200,000 to 500,000. It serves as the Roman or Latin rite seat of the Diocese of Chanthaburi which was created in 1965 with the Bull "Qui in fastigio" of Pope Paul VI. It is under the pastoral responsibility of the Bishop Silvio Siripong Charatsri.
Chanthaburi's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is the largest Catholic building in Thailand. With its two towers, it became the symbol of the city. It is the fifth church built there. The Catholic Church on Chanthanimit Road on the river bank is the largest Catholic edifice in Thailand. Built in 1909, it is of Gothic architectural style. The original tall roof was taken down during World War II to make it less conspicuous as a possible target.
The statue is special, as it is a gift to the church from the Chanthaburi Christian gems dealers and goldsmiths community. It is one of the older communities in Chanthaburi composed mostly of people Vietnamese origin. The first arrivals was about 200 years ago when Vietnamese Catholics were trying to escape the religious persecutions of the Vietnamese emperors. The second was during the French colonial times when Vietnamese people fled the French controlled Indochina and came to settle in Thailand and finally after 1975 and the Communist victory in Vietnam.
The statue of the Virgin Mary is nearly completely covered with gold, gemstones and enamels. The blue of her cloak is composed of several thousand blue sapphires originating from within Thailand ( Chanthaburi and Kanchanaburi ). Her white dress is made of hundreds of white sapphires from Sri Lanka. She is standing on a green globe where the oceans are again a mosaic of blue sapphires from Thailand while the land masses are composed of hundreds of yellow and orange ( probably beryllium treated ) sapphires from Songea ( Tanzania ) and few yellow and orange sapphires from Chanthaburi highly appreciated here as butsarakam. If you stand on Niramon Bridge, which connects the communities on the east and west banks of the Chanthaburi River, you’ll soon spot a remarkably elegant Gothic-style building that’s one of the principal landmarks in Chanthaburi province.
Standing amongst traditional wooden Thai houses, the European style building’s rich history dates back almost 300 years, which was when Chanthaburi’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the largest church in Thailand, was originally established in a rather more modest form.
Not original!
Known both as the c. 1755 Toll House and the c. 1765 Reuben Bartlett, Jr. House is a pre-Revolutionary War structure. Later additions were made. After numerous approvals the structure is slated for demolition in 2019. The owners allowed the Society full access to the site to document conditions before demolition.

The structure is composed of 4x4's sunk 24 to 30 inches in the ground. The tank now has a tin roof to keep the tank lid dry, and house the differential temperature controller that operates the pumps. There is one pump for the front set, and one pump for the rear set of panels. The eventual plan is to have a total of 12 panels in both rows for a total of 24 heat collecting solar panels.

Medieval History
The original castle was built by the Peverel family in the 12th century and became Crown property in 1155 when William Peverel the Younger died. The Ferrers family who were Earls of Derby laid claim to the Peveril property.
When a group of barons led by King Henry II's sons – Henry the Young King, Geoffrey Duke of Brittany, and Prince Richard, later Richard the Lionheart – revolted against the king's rule, Henry spent £116 on building at the castles of Bolsover and Peveril in Derbyshire. The garrison was increased to a force led by 20 knights and was shared with the castles of Peveril and Nottingham during the revolt. King John ascended the throne in 1199 after his brother Richard's death. William de Ferrers maintained the claim of the Earls of Derby to the Peveril estates. He paid John 2000 marks for the lordship of the Peak, but the Crown retained possession of Bolsover and Peveril Castles. John finally gave them to Ferrers in 1216 to secure his support in the face of country-wide rebellion. However, the castellan Brian de Lisle refused to hand them over. Although Lisle and Ferrers were both John's supporters, John gave Ferrers permission to use force to take the castles. The situation was still chaotic when Henry III became king after his father's death in 1216. Bolsover fell to Ferrers' forces in 1217 after a siege.
The castle was returned to crown control in 1223, at which point £33 was spent on repairing the damage the Earl of Derby had caused when capturing the castle six years earlier. Over the next 20 years, four towers were added, the keep was repaired, various parts of the curtain wall were repaired, and a kitchen and barn were built, all at a cost of £181. From 1290 onward, the castle and its surrounding manor were granted to a series of local farmers. Under their custodianship, the castle gradually fell into a state of disrepair.
Post-medieval
Bolsover castle was granted to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, by King Edward VI in 1553. Following Shrewsbury’s death in 1590, his son Gilbert, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, sold the ruins of Bolsover Castle to his step-brother and brother-in-law Sir Charles Cavendish, who wanted to build a new castle on the site. Working with the famous builder and designer Robert Smythson, Cavendish’s castle was designed for elegant living rather than defence, and was unfinished at the time of the two men’s deaths, in 1614 and 1617 respectively. Accounts survive for building the early stages of the "Little Castle." Unusually for this period female labour was recorded, and the women's names or husband's names are given.
The building of the castle was continued by Cavendish’s two sons, William and John, who were influenced by the Italian-inspired work of the architect Inigo Jones. The tower, known today as the 'Little Castle', was completed around 1621. Construction was interrupted by the Civil Wars of 1642 to 1651, during which the castle was taken by the Parliamentarians, who slighted it, when it fell into a ruinous state. William Cavendish, who was created Marquess of Newcastle in 1643 and Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1665, added a new hall and staterooms to the Terrace Range, and by the time of his death in 1676 the castle had been restored to good order. The main usage of the building extended over twenty years, and it is presumed that the family lived at the castle towards the end of that period. It then passed through Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland into the Bentinck family, and ultimately became one of the seats of the Earls and Dukes of Portland. After 1883, the castle was uninhabited, and in 1945 it was given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland. The castle is now in the care of English Heritage.
Bolsover Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change. It is also a Grade I listed building (first listed in 1985) and recognised as an internationally important structure.
