South Porch to the Chancel - the oldest part of the Church - compare with a very similar photograph of the church in the Model Village.
The earliest evidence of a Christian presence on this site in Bourton-on-the-Water goes back as far as 709AD when a wooden church was built on land donated by the local king, centred to the Abbey of Evesham.
1110 AD saw the construction of the first stone church of Norman design. Since then there have been several changes of appearance. Under the chancel (the east end of the church), there is a twelfth-century crypt, said to be connected by a tunnel to the Old Manor House across the High Street.
The only visible part of the old church is the chancel, built in 1328 by Walter de Burhton. The church was then dedicated to St Lawrence, a fourth century Christian martyr; his story is recorded on a window-ledge near the organ.
A drawing of 1780 shows the church with a central tower, between the nave (where the congregation sit) and the chancel. It shows the 'Clapton Aisle, where the present porch is located; this was for residents of Clapton on the Hill during the period when their own ancient church of St James' was for a time derelict. However, in 1784, the Norman church was largely replaced with one in the neo-classical style, with a new heavy tower with clock and bells, still standing today.
Further change came in the 1870's with the construction of the present nave, followed by the North Aisle and St George's chapel, now containing memorials to the dead of the two world wars of the twentieth century. This Victorian legacy includes the nave roof, said to be one of Gloucestershire's finest examples of a king-post roof.
The twentieth century also left its mark with a fine painted ceiling in the chancel, and the ornate oak screen, separating the cancel from the nave. A very fitting contribution from a local poet and artist was added to the west wall at the time of the Millennium.
Today the parish Church remains the focus of a lively worshipping community in the village of Bourton-on-the-Water, extending a warm welcome to visitors.

Promenades hivernales
(Winter walks)
From December 11 to 28, 2025, I did some winter walks near Lyon city, France, with my Pentax 17 half-frame camera (see below fr details) loaded with a Mira 400 negative color film. The Mira 400 is a Kodak Eastman 5207 Vision 3 250D with the remjet coat removed. Consequently it could be processed in the regular Kodak C-41 chemistry for color negative films instead of the ECN-2 protocol that less common to find out from local lab services. The Kodak Vision 3 should be exposed for 250 Iso in the daylight. Here 400 Iso are recommended, may to minis the spossible trong halation caused by the absence of the Remjet.
Kodak Vision3 motion picture films are professional negative color films released by Kodak in 2009. The 250D (250 ISO for daylight) is referenced as Eastman 5207. Compared to photographic negative films, the Kodak Vision is back coated with the so-called rem-jet layer to facilitate the film motion at high-speed in the camera sand also to add a further anti-halo element in addition to the normal orange-magenta tinted film basis. The Vision3 films also include some special color coupler to enhance the color rendition. Kodak Vision3 should be processed normally with a motion picture protocol called ECN-2.
The Pentax 17 was equipped with an Anti-UV or polarizing filter as indicated below. For the camera transportation, I used a small camera bag ThinkTank « Mirrorless Mover 5 » that was well protecting the camera from possibly damaging vibrations when using my bicycle.
The expositions were automatically metered by the camera system using the « P » program modes with, or without, flash. For very bright scenes the exposition was corrected by +0.3 to +1EV to compensate the biais induced (and reversely -0.3 to 0.7 EV for very dark scenes to objects). The Pentax 17 light sensors being behind the filter, the filter is then automatically compensated.
Exploration de Fleurieu-sur-Saône, la cité du "Bleu Guimet"***, December 16, 2025

_______________________
Bleu Guimet (also known as synthetic ultramarine or Guimet blue) is an artificial blue pigment invented in 1826–1828 by French chemist and industrialist Jean-Baptiste Guimet (1795–1871), a Polytechnique graduate. Motivated by his wife, a painter who found natural ultramarine (derived from expensive lapis lazuli) too costly, Guimet developed a synthetic version by heating a mixture of kaolin, soda, sulfur, charcoal, and other compounds. This chemically identical but far cheaper pigment won a prize from the Société d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie Nationale in 1828.
In 1831, Guimet established his first factory in Fleurieu-sur-Saône (Rhône department, north of Lyon), where large-scale production began. The site grew significantly: extensions, new furnaces, a dedicated railway halt ("le train bleu"), and a Saône river pontoon facilitated operations. By the late 19th century, under his son Émile Guimet (1836–1918), the factory employed 150 workers and produced 1,000 tons annually.
The pigment's success stemmed from its versatility: used in fine art painting (by artists like Ingres, Renoir, and Van Gogh), but especially for "azurage" — optically whitening laundry, paper, and textiles. This made it a global industrial staple, with the family fortune enabling investments (including founding Pechiney in 1855) and cultural patronage (Émile founded the Guimet museums in Lyon and Paris).
The family business expanded internationally through subsequent generations, reaching peak production of 4,500 tons in the 1940s. However, the Fleurieu-sur-Saône factory closed in 1967 after sale to British company Reckitt & Colman (now produced elsewhere, e.g., by Holliday Pigments). The historic site was repurposed into the Centre Artisanal Bleu Guimet, an artisanal and business zone preserving its industrial heritage.

After completion (72 frames), the film was given to a local lab service.
Single-frame digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm at approximate reproduction ratio of 1:2. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 15.0.1 of dec. 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
About the camera :
Since last Christmas 2024, it was on display in the middle of « reusable » cheap camera’s in the window of my local photography store. But this camera is not cheap and sold at 10-times the price of those « reusable » film camera’s. The Pentax 17 is a novel film camera released by Pentax (a brand belonging to Ricoh Imaging, Japan) in June 2024.
The history of « Pentax » name is still something worth to mention. After the WWII, in Dresden (that was heavily destroyed by the bombing of Feb. 13-15, 1945), Germany, The Zeiss Ikon company could not produce anymore the legendary original Contax (a high-reputation professional range-finder 35mm released in 30’s) camera that was taken by Russia and transferred to Kiev, Ukraine, in the USSR. However the brand name Contax survived and the German engineers designed something completely new within several years : the Contax S (S for « Spiegel mirror reflex ») that integrated a pentaprism for a full redressed reflex viewer observation. Zeiss Ikon Dresden registered to new trademarks derived from the words « Pentaprism » and « Contax » that were « Pentax » and « Pentacon ». If Pentacon became the new name of the company in Dresden, the trademark Pentax was bought by Asahi Optical Company in Japan, and became a formidable industrial and commercial success. Asahi Pentax, then Pentax alone, produced amazing quality camera’s including the legendary « Spotmatic » (a 35mm SLR) and stunning medium-format camera’s heavily used by professional photographers. Many of these camera’s of the past century are still operative and appreciated by film photography enthusiast’s.
Production of film camera’s vanished progressively in the mid 2000’s, as digital camera’s became of better quality and finally of generalized appliances in photography. The Pentax 17 was introduced to the market in June 2024, it was a big surprise for all the film photography lovers. Seeing a newly engineered brand-new film camera was a sort of renaissance of the film photography today of a growing interest worldwide.
The camera is a « half-frame » format on the traditional double-perforated 35mm film giving 17x24mm photograms. This format was not as popular as to classical 24x36mm (full-frame) format of most of the 35mm camera’s. However famous and quality half-frame camera’s were produced in the past including, the long series of Olympus Pen for example. Then, the Pentax 17 immediately attracted the attention of experimented film photographers and camera collectors, probably more than the officially targeted customers of the younger generations. Less than a year after, the future of the Pentax 17 and the film photography project of Pentax is questioned today. The chef-engineer who conducted the project in Ricoh company recently left and the marketing of Pentax 17 is now a question.
This finally decided me to buy an exemplary from my local shop and to discover this strange machine. The camera is of course guaranteed, even with a there-year extension after the camera registration on the Pentax website. The whole ergonomic is clearly derived from classical past 35mm camera’s with a fully mechanical film advance and rewind, a collimated Albada viewer, no digital display at all, only levers, barrels, crank and wheels… However inside is a automatic electronic exposure system with flash, the focusing is manual but the electronic mechanism moves the whole optical group with a micro motor.
The lens is a Cooke triplet 1:3.5 f=25mm equivalent to a 37mm of a 24x36mm format. The Cooke triplet is a photographic lens designed and patented in 1893 by Dennis Taylor who was employed as chief engineer by T. Cooke & Sons of York. It was the first lens system that allowed the elimination of most of the optical distortion or aberration at the outer edge of the image. It likely for this reason that the lens is unscripted curiously « Traditional » on the front lens ring… It is known that a Cooke triplet lens could give surprisingly good results with only three separated optical elements. The Cooke Triplet is still widely used in inexpensive cameras, including variations using aspheric elements, particularly in cell-phone cameras. The Cooke triplet consists of three separated lenses positioned at the finite distance. It is often considered that the triplet is one of the most important discoveries in the field of photographic objectives
The lens receives 40.5mm diameter thread filters that I use for my Zorki / Leningrad lenses Jupiter-8 2/50mm, Jupiter-11 4/135mm and Jupiter-12 2.8/35mm. The metal shade hood Minolta D42KA could mounted on the filter but I have to check is there is vignette induced.
The camera size is close to the original dimensions of a thread-mount Leica (called also the original Barnack Leica) which are, in a way, a sort of « Gold » size in the 35mm camera’s. I compared with my Zorki 1D year 1954 that is a straight reproduction of the Leica Iic. The upper deck of Pentax 17 is designed very clearly as a classical 35mm and we even find the original logo of Asahi Optical Company. The rewind crank is also a revival of past design seen on old Pentax SLR as my year-1971 Spotmatic SP in this seres of pictures.
The Pentax 17 is very light (about 300g) compared to those old ancestors that weight easily the double or the triple. It is then an effortless camera to carry. The Pentax 17 fits in the small ThinkTank bag (called « Mirorless Mover 5 ») that I recently bought to safely carry a film back of my Hasselblad or my Bronica 6X6 camera’s. In this tiny bag, the camera is protected for the element and vibrations due to cycling for instance.

Key features and specifications
* Half-frame image capture (17 x 24mm)
* 37mm (equiv.) FOV F3.5 lens
* Zone focusing system with 6 zones
* Circular leaf shutter (F3.5-16)
* Built-in flash (6m/20ft at ISO100)
* Optical tunnel viewfinder with frame lines
* Exposure from 1/350 sec to 4 sec (+ Bulb)
* Supports films from ISO 50 to ISO 3200
Specifically the lens has:
1. HD coating, which maintains high performance of the lens, by using this PENTAX multi-coating. This also enables high contrast and high definition right to the edges.
2. SP coating (Super Protect) which helps to repel water and oil from the lens.
The fact that the focusing on the Pentax 17 is electronic i.e. the lens only moves when you half-press the shutter gives me faith that autofocus was already considered in the R&D stage.
Ventured to Kailua today (in the rain) to get some of Boots & Kimo’s. It was like Thor’s way of saying not to lead an active lifestyle today.
Still good, got to watch Elf.

Mooresville, NC - If there was ever a time to put down some dominate numbers and come away with a couple of segment victories, this was the weekend. It was the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car's" first double points event of the season and it worked out very well for Kyle Tucker and his Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro Test Car at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI. See all the pics here goo.gl/s8eWXN
As usual, the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross and the Wilwood Speed Stop Challenge were the first segments Saturday morning and provided lots of action whether you were participating or if you were just hanging out in the pits amongst the crowd.
Kyle and the Detroit Speed 1970 Camaro were on point from the get go, laying down times hovering in the mid to high :13's until he put down his best time on his second to last run (:13.60) which was enough to claim the top spot and 50 points for the segment victory. Not to rest on his laurels, Kyle was also pushing hard on the autocross and ended up with 2nd place and another 44 points to add to his weekend collection. Detroit Speed dealer and good friend, Billy Utley took the top spot in the autocross driving his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Chevy Nova.
The road rally took place at the end of the day and took off from the speedway and ended at the Lingenfelter Design Collection in Brighton, MI. Thanks for their hospitality, great food, and beautiful cars to look at. It was, also, 5 minutes from Kyle and Stacy's house where Detroit Speed got its start. It was pretty neat to head back and see where it all started.
Sunday was more of the same from Kyle and the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. The Hot Lap Challenge gave the drivers a chance to really open up their cars with a 1.9 mile inside road course at Michigan. Kyle's first run of the day would have been good enough to capture first place and the full 50 points but he ended up besting that and put down a blistering 1:23.076 a few sessions later that no one was able to come close to.
Congratulations are in order for Mr. Billy Utley. Billy topped the GTV Class and was awarded his invitation to the season ending event in Las Vegas for the 2nd year in a row! Congrats Billy! We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on his podium finish in the GT class and our very own Project Foreman, Chris Porter, on his podium finish in the GTV class.
Rick Hoback, driving his C5 Corvette, had good runs on the road course on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to another commitment, he could only attend on Sunday. Thanks Rick for flying the DSE flag proudly! Rick wasn't the only one flying the flag, DSE “Equipped" cars were out in full force and ran hard all weekend. If you have been following the Optima events in person or on social media, one thing you will notice is all the "63" images and decals around. The decal is for Todd Rumpke, our friend who drives the Snoopy C6 Corvette. He is in a difficult battle right now, and at the end of the day, we are all a family out there and would do anything to support a friend and fellow driver.
Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Michigan Highlights:
• Kyle won the Speed Stop Challenge taking the maximum 50 points during this double points weekend
• Kyle claimed the top spot during the Sunday Hot Lap Challenge
• Kyle finished a close 2nd in the Detroit Speed Sponsored Autocross, finishing just behind Billy Utley.
• Dealer and close friend, Billy Utley, clinched his invite to the season ending event in Las Vegas with a 1st overall in the GTV class in his DSE "Equipped" 1972 Nova
It was another fun weekend full of friends and racing and we eagerly await the next Optima event as it is taking place in our back yard. We look forward to seeing everyone at Charlotte Motor Speedway July 25th - 26th for the next event in the Optima "Search for the Ultimate Street Car" series.
To all my friends and colleagues, as well as the people of Japan dealing with the earthquake and tsunamis; please know that my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. Mediterranean cypress trees and other foliage in the cemetery cause it to mirror the more natural style of cemeteries seen in the lusher regions of northern Europe. As the name of the cemetery indicates, it is the final resting place of non-Catholics (not only Protestants or English people).

The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water." Shelley drowned off the Italian Riviera and was cremated on the shore near Viareggio. His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.

His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.

The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. Mediterranean cypress trees and other foliage in the cemetery cause it to mirror the more natural style of cemeteries seen in the lusher regions of northern Europe. As the name of the cemetery indicates, it is the final resting place of non-Catholics (not only Protestants or English people).
The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water."

Headed home to the mountains.
“People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it- walk.”
We were all thrilled to bits to be taken to see these Pinedrops, which none of us had ever seen before, by a delightful young woman. We had met her the previous day, on a trip with people from Medicine Hat College to see and monitor an area of Yucca plants growing in the wild. Such a treat to get this rare opportunity. Pterospora andromedea lacks chlorophyll - trace amounts have been identified, but not enough to provide energy for the plant or to color it. One plant we came across was just over a metre tall!! They are very narrow and very difficult to photograph, as it was almost impossible to focus on the plant. I got lots of blurry shots, but this macro was fit to use : )
"Pterospora, commonly known as pinedrops, Albany beechdrops, or giant bird's nest is a monotypic genus in the subfamily Monotropoidiae of the blueberry family, the Ericaceae, and includes only the species Pterospora andromedea. It grows in coniferous or mixed forests. It is native to North America from southern Canada to the mountains of Mexico and is most commonly found in the western half of the continent, though small isolated populations are found in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.
The genus name is derived from the morphology of the seeds which have narrow flaps of tissue on the side and therefore appear winged: ptero (Gr.) = winged, spora (Gr.) = seed. The specific name andromedea derives from the resemblance of the flowers to those of another genus in the Ericaceae, Andromeda.
The visible portion of Pterospora andromedea is a fleshy, unbranched, reddish to yellowish flower spike (raceme) 30-100 cm in height, though it has been reported to occasionally attain a height of 2 meters. The above-ground stalks (inflorescences) are usually found in small clusters between June and August. The inflorescences are hairy and noticeably sticky to the touch. This is caused by the presence of hairs which exude a sticky substance (glandular hairs). The inflorescences are covered by scale-like structures known as bracts. The upper portion of the inflorescence has a series of yellowish, urn-shaped flowers that face downward. The fruit is a capsule.
Like all members of the Monotriopoidiae (see Monotropa), Pterospora andromedea lacks chlorophyll (trace amounts have been identified, but not enough to provide energy for the plant or to color it). Plants exist for most of their life as a mass of brittle, but fleshy, roots. They live in a parasitic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, in which plants derive all their carbon from their associated fungus, but the relationship is not yet well understood. The term for this kind of symbiosis is mycoheterotrophy. In Pteropspora the association is with a very limited number of fungi in the genus Rhizopogon, including Rhizopogon subcaerulescens, R. arctostaphyli, and R. salebrosus. Pterospora has yet to be discovered with any species outside the genus Rhizopogon." From Wikipedia.

HRH the Duke of Kent honoured Bristol with a personal visit to Castle Park where he was accompanied by the Lord Lt of the County of Bristol, Mrs Peaches Golding OBE where he witnessed the Blessing of the St Edith ‘s Well by the Bishop of Bristol Viv Faull. This was followed by an unveiling of the Sikh Community Garden with a memorial to Sikh members who fell or injured during the Two World Wars. He finished his visit being introduced to Normandy Veterans and presenting certificates to four members of the British Legion.
The Lord Mayor of the City and County and the High Sheriff was also in attendance
Holy Trinity, Balsham, Cambridgeshire
Here we are in this polite village about eight miles to the south-east of Cambridge, quiet today but once the power base of Hugh of Balsham, who was Bishop of Ely for much of the second half of the 13th Century. The church, which is big and grand if not quite magnificent thanks to a succession of restorations, sits in a surprisingly secluded churchyard on the north side of the village. The great curiosity as you approach is the clerestory, which was rebuilt in the local yellow brick but in an entirely faux-medieval style in the 1830s by James Fenton of Chelmsford - that is to say, it is early but ecclesiologically correct.
You step inside to what is a fairly cavernous space for a Cambridgeshire church. Coming back five years after my previous visit I was surprised not to have remembered much about it, for it has much of interest, including the towering 1920s font cover in the perpendicular style of Ufford or Sudbury St Gregory. It was built by the parishioners to the design of FE Howard. It took them nine years to complete it. Equally striking is the near-contemporary enclosed wooden chapel at the east end of the north aisle, built using Elizabethan panelling.
Butterfield elaborated the surviving 15th Century screen, and his also is the altar, and between the two is the greatest treasure of the church, a set of twenty-six 14th Century return stalls with misericords and delightful heads on the arms between them, polished by more than half a millennium of hand use. Some are beasts, most are human including at least one which may be from a set of the seven deadly sins.
The great five light east window is filled with 1930s glass designed by GER Smith for AK Nicholson, typical and we would think of it as good of its kind today, although Simon Bradley reports that in the 1950s Pevsner found it 'unpleasant in its anaemic colour and sentimental draughtsmanship'. Thus, fashions change. It includes scenes of buildings connected with the life of worthies of the parish. There are brasses, some other decent 20th Century glass, and a general feeling of welcome and care. A good church.

A visit to the National Trust property of Melford Hall in Long Melford. It was the closest National Trust property to Sudbury in Suffolk.
Melford Hall is a stately home in the village of Long Melford, Suffolk, England. It is the ancestral seat of the Parker Baronets.
The hall was mostly constructed in the 16th century, incorporating parts of a medieval building held by the abbots of Bury St Edmunds which had been in use since before 1065. It has similar roots to nearby Kentwell Hall.
It passed from the abbots during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and was later granted by Queen Mary to Sir William Cordell. From Cordell it passed via his sister to Thomas and Mary Savage before being sold back into another male Cordell line. During the Stour Valley Riots of 1642 the house was attacked and damaged by an anti-Catholic crowd. In 1786 it was sold to Harry Parker, son of Admiral Hyde Parker.
Beatrix Potter was a cousin of the family and was a frequent visitor to the hall from the 1890s onwards.
One wing of the hall was gutted by fire in February 1942 but rebuilt after World War II, retaining the external Tudor brickwork with 1950s interior design.
The hall was first opened to the public in 1955 by Ulla, Lady Hyde Parker. In 1960 it passed into the care of the National Trust. It is generally open on weekend afternoons in April and October, and on afternoons from Wednesday to Sunday during May to September.
The Hall grounds host a number of events including the "Big Night Out" every November to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night and from 2013 the annual LeeStock Music Festival.

A look around the inside of Melford Hall.
Spiral Staircase - I think that this was not in use from the public.
We had to try to put back together a human, but some pieces were so small or lost that it was almost impossible. Not even all the Master's students could put humpty dumpty back together again!

Barcelona, Spain.
Sagrada Família is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, designed by Catalan Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí. When work began on the project in the 1880s it was anticipated that completion would take 200 years. Early on Sagrada Familia's construction progressed slowly relying on private donations. Work was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 and now the anticipated completion date is 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death. When work began on the project in the 1880s it was anticipated that completion would take 200 years.
On this trip my visit was exterior only. Go to my Sagrada Familia album to see the interior and much more.
According to the Landnámabók ("Book of Settlement"), Húsavík was the first place in Iceland to be settled by a Norse man. The Swedish Viking Garðar Svavarsson stayed there for one winter around 870 A.D. When he left the island in spring of 870, after a winter's stay, he left behind a man named Nattfari and two slaves, a man and a woman, and they established a farm here. The name of the town means "bay of houses", probably referring to Garðar's homestead, which may have been the only houses then in Iceland.
TO VIEW sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.
