I chose the therapist Carl Rogers. He defines aspects of what he believes would be the ideal person who emerges from therapy. These four images represent four of those.
I wanted to include a picture of Carl Rogers in this series. Trust in your organism means trusting yourself...in every way. To me, a tree represents something strong, wise, stable, and able to weather almost anything. I strive to be a tree, figuratively. :)
The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Southern Trust Building
Little Rock, Arkansas
Listed 09/26/2013
Reference Number: 13000790
The Southern Trust Building was built during 1906-1907, opening to the public on December 31, 1907 _ At ten stories tall it was the first skyscraper in Arkansas, a title it held for only three years, and was the first building in Arkansas to incorporate all of the major components of a skyscraper. Built at a cost of approximately $350,000.00 by the Southern Construction Co, it included fireproofing techniques, steel skeletal construction and electric elevators. It also included pneumatic mail chutes and electric lights. It was lighted by electricity and gas, heated by steam and serviced by three electric elevators. The building was designed by noted architect, George R. Mann in the Commercial Style. The building featured many windows combined with the U shape light-well making it very functional with cross currents of fresh air and sunlight able to enter the windows of every office during the course of the day. As the first skyscraper in Little Rock, the Southern Trust Building is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places with local significance under Criterion C.

Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire.
Water Butt - I assume, originally, for collecting drainage water from the roof.
It is dated 1836 and carries the Cavendish snake crest.
Hardwick was home to Bess of Hardwick (1527-1608), one of the most formidable women of Elizabethan England. She was the matriarch of the Cavendish family, building Chatsworth with her second husband and returning to build the two great halls at Hardwick after her separation from her fourth husband the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury.

This photo was a spontaneous one, because my planned one failed caused by... well missing items, missing model, missing time, missing motivation etc.
I can't believe that I've got only 3 puny photos left! The year has passed so fast...

A visit to the National Trust run Stowe in Buckinghamshire.
Stowe is the creation of many 18th- century landscape designers, architects and craftsmen, and showcases some of Capability Brown's finest work. It's a towering achievement that still influences garden design today.
After early contributions from Sir John Vanbrugh and William Kent, Stowe's first garden designer, Charles Bridgeman, kickstarted the radical transformation away from formality. Lord Cobham funded huge development to create a grand canvas of idealised nature. Grassland, trees, lakes, temples and monuments: all are meticulously constructed to shape perfect views. By the mid-19th century, Richard Temple, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, ultimately aimed to impress Queen Victoria and outdo the neighbouring Claydon estate. This showmanship and rivalry ultimately contributed to bankruptcy.
New Inn and Parlour Rooms at Stowe.
The first place you pass between the car park and Visitor Centre.
Toilets and second hand bookshop are here, plus some rooms in the former pub to have a look around.
The New Inn was built by Lord Cobham in 1717 to accommodate visitors to the garden, which had already become a tourist attraction. Laid out around a central courtyard, it comprised a small brewery, a dairy and farm buildings as well as bedrooms for guests. Lord Perceval was not alone in complaining about the poor quality of the rooms, but it remained in use until the 1850s. The last innkeeper was Charles Bennet. Thereafter, it served as a farm until it was bought in 2005 by the National Trust, which has repaired the derelict fabric of the building and returned it to its original purpose as a place to welcome visitors.

HISTORY: New Inn was built in 1717-19 for Viscount Cobham as part of his campaign to enlarge the mansion at Stowe and to create the extensive landscape, laid out by Charles Bridgeman with garden buildings by Sir John Vanbrugh. It is probably the first inn built for visitors to a house and garden, and is described repeatedly throughout the C18 and C19, not always favourably, in the visitors' letters and journals. In the 1860s when the garden closed to the public, New Inn became a farmhouse.
