"[The] ceiling and the supporting architecture was painted by Verrio and illustrates the entrance to Hell as a cat's mouth. The figurative scheme on the walls were added by Thomas Stothard (1755-1834) at the beginning of the 19th century" - info from the Burghley House mini guide.
"Burghley House is a grand sixteenth-century English country house near Stamford, Lincolnshire. It is a leading example of the Elizabethan prodigy house, built and still lived in by the Cecil family. The exterior largely retains its Elizabethan appearance, but most of the interiors date from remodellings before 1800. The house is open to the public and displays a circuit of grand and richly furnished state apartments. Its park was laid out by Capability Brown.
The house is on the boundary of the civil parishes of Barnack and St Martin's Without in the Peterborough unitary authority of Cambridgeshire. It was formerly part of the Soke of Peterborough, an historic area that was traditionally associated with Northamptonshire. It lies 0.9 miles (1.4 km) south of Stamford and 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Peterborough city centre.
The house is now run by the Burghley House Preservation Trust, which is controlled by the Cecil family.
Burghley was built for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, who was Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I of England, between 1555 and 1587, and modelled on the privy lodgings of Richmond Palace. It was subsequently the residence of his descendants, the Earls, and since 1801, the Marquesses of Exeter. Since 1961, it has been owned by a charitable trust established by the family.
Lady Victoria Leatham, antiques expert and television personality, followed her father, Olympic gold-medal winning athlete, IAAF President and MP, David Cecil, the 6th Marquess, by running the house from 1982 to 2007. The Olympic corridor commemorates her father. Her daughter, Miranda Rock, is now the most active live-in trustee. However, the Marquessate passed it in 1988 to Victoria's uncle, Martin Cecil, 7th Marquess of Exeter, and then to his son, William Michael Anthony Cecil, both Canadian ranchers on land originally bought by the 5th Marquess, who have not lived at Burghley.
The house is one of the main examples of stonemasonry and proportion in sixteenth-century English Elizabethan architecture, reflecting the prominence of its founder, and the lucrative wool trade of the Cecil estates. It has a suite of rooms remodelled in the baroque style, with carvings by Grinling Gibbons. The main part of the house has 35 major rooms, on the ground and first floors. There are more than 80 lesser rooms and numerous halls, corridors, bathrooms, and service areas.
In the seventeenth century, the open loggias around the ground floor were enclosed. Although the house was built in the floor plan shape of the Letter E, in honour of Queen Elizabeth, it is now missing its north-west wing. During the period of the 9th Earl's ownership, and under the guidance of the famous landscape architect, Capability Brown, the south front was raised to alter the roof line, and the north-west wing was demolished to allow better views of the new parkland. A chimney-piece after the design of Venetian printmaker Giovanni Battista Piranesi was also added during his tenure.
The so-called "Hell Staircase" and its neighbour "The Heaven Room" has substantial ceiling paintings by Antonio Verrio, between 1697 and 1699. The walls to the "Hell Staircase" are by Thomas Stothard, who completed the work about a century later. The Bow Room is decorated with wall and ceiling paintings by Louis Laguerre." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
Loving every minute of it!.
Cuts the thick block nicely.
Had to move the Arc centre because my blade is 2mm further away from the Trunion support beam, than in the plans. Probably my wheels are slightly bigger.
This is my newest support device: It's a monopod with support legs. It's very lightweight and does not extend. Parts are made of plastic. I like this because the parts do not interfere much with the spherical photos.

While waiting for our acting teacher to come, a bunch of my fellow students and I were looking out the window at the street below.
I noticed these two people and started taking some shots of them.
I'm really happy with this shot.

When planning the precise and delicate procedure to remove a brain tumor, a neurosurgeon needs to know the exact location and dimensions of the invasive growth and the surrounding tissue. Because of the brain’s intricate network of neural pathways, altering one spot can adversely affect a patient’s speech, vision, mobility and cognition.
Nagarajan's lab specializes in detailed, high-fidelity brain imaging using magnetoencephalography (MEG), a quick, noninvasive procedure that measures the brain’s electromagnetic signals to visualize how things work inside.

St Mary de Castro is Leicester's grandest medieval church, standing beside the site and remains of the ancient castle (hence the dedication). The building dates mostly from the 12th-14th centuries and has an impressive interior, including an unusually large south aisle that appears almost as a second nave. The chancel is Norman work (despite some renewal) and possesses a rare Romanesque sedilia.
There has of course been substantial restoration in the Victorian period, from which time the glass and most furnishings date, except for the 13th century font.
The tower uniquely stands within the west end of the south aisle as an almost free-standing structure, supported by secondary arches on three sides with only the western face directly incorporating the church's outer wall.
The tower was crowned by a lofty spire which was a landmark on the city's skyline until it was demolished in early 2014, following the discovery of serious cracks in the stonework that threatened imminent collapse. There are hopes that the spire will be rebuilt at some point in the next few years if sufficient funding can be found.
The church is normally open most days between 12.00 -14.00, though this can vary as the stewards who were present on my latest visit were keen to leave earlier and my time inside was cut frustratingly short.

Colombia’s Amazonas shares its borders with Peru and Brazil, 2 of the countries with the world’s highest number of coronavirus cases.
People cross the triple border on a regular basis, either for medical needs or to buying and selling all kinds of goods. This has contributed to spread the virus, bringing the total number of cases in the border areas to 10,200.
Before the pandemic hit, tourists used to visit the Amazonas’ markets to purchase handcrafts. Tourism was an economic lifeline, but confinement measures brought it to a halt.

We shadowed our friends at the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance en route to a mission in Kandahar. The team deployed to Afghanistan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District and will be supporting engineering and infrastructure projects in Afghanistan for the next nine months. The men and women serving in the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance are rare. There are only eight teams like them in the world; each comprised of one officer-in-charge, one non-commissioned officer and six highly-skilled U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civilian technical experts. From design, construction management, contracting, geospatial support and more, the teams quickly produce relevant engineering products and services worldwide.
