Metroline VW1213 (LK61 BNJ) on Route E8, Hounslow Bell Corner.
Newly extended Route E8 is standing next to the Aldi store in Hounslow due to the intended stand for the route (and H22) is currently closed.
This series is about those places that become our own for a short period of time, but for that small time we make them ours.
Definitely working of the day, 37s on Crewe - Mountsorrel and hopefully return, though if the steam venting from 059 is more than temporary there might be some delay. I'm off having some teeth drilled this afternoon, unfortunately...

De Realiteit, Almere, The Netherlands
On the south bank of the lake Noorderplassen in Almere is situated the experimental housing community De Realiteit (The Reality). Seventeen prize winning designs of the second design competition of the foundation "The Fantasy" were built here in 1986. A year earlier "De Fantasie" organized a design contest entitled "Temporary Housing". The prizes consisted of plots building land of 20 x 20 m, where the winners, 17 in total, could achieve their winning ideas. This contest followed the competition “Ongewoon Wonen” (Unusual Living) of 1982 and was realized at the lake Weerwater in Almere City.
By their design, the contests offered opportunity for the most free designs, especially as the building rules did not have to be met. Concepts as demountable, displaceable and limited lifespan were central. The removal of the building rules meant that the honored buildings had to be considered temporary. The applicants knew in advance that the normal funding source, namely the mortgage, was not available due to the temporary carcass. Traditional design principles, necessary to ensure sufficient market value, did not therefore have to be a point of departure in designing. This required the imposition of other than normal funding sources, such as subsidization, corporate sponsorship.
The jury consisted of: Pi de Bruyn, architect; All Hosper, landscape architect; Jon Kristinson, architect and construction engineer; Bruno Ninaber van Eyben, industrial designer; Jeanne Roos, journalist; Luce van Rooij, gallery owner and Moshé Zwarts, architect and chairman of the jury. They assessed the submissions according to the criteria: resourcefulness, feasibility, construction, material use, design, housing and energy management. The winners of the competition were given land on the site by the Government service IJsselmeerpolders, in cooperation with the municipality of Almere.

Whilst the splash in this shot isn't the most interesting, I was quite pleased to catch the soap bubble as it burst, even though it's not in focus!
I guess the old idiom is true - people who live in soap bubbles shouldn't throw water drops! :)

Amherst Town Tomb.
Commonly seen in older New England cemeteries and built in the mid to late 1800s is what was known as the "receiving tomb". Previous to this when grandma kicked the bucket in the middle of winter you would store her in the barn until spring and the ground was soft enough to dig a grave. But in the 1800s many cemeteries built these tombs to receive the dead and store them until warmer weather (or for whatever other reason the final resting place wasn't ready) at which point their graves would be dug and the bodies moved to their final resting places. With the invention of the steam shovel and other powered digging tools there was no longer as much of need for these and they are not seen in newer cemeteries.
However they have not completely fallen out of favor. The one at Lowell Cemetery built around this same time frame is still used for this purpose today sometimes including holding bodies temporarily for other nearby cemeteries.

Towards the western edge of Guelph Lake these temporary docks are extended into the lake. There were several people at the ends of the docks fishing on this particular day. The lake's water level is quite lower than normal at this time of year as the Grand River Conservation Authority has adjusted the water levels of the lake and the Speed River in Guelph with a number of dams. In this picture, it's easy to see where the regular water levels normally are, abutting the tree line. On another note, the picnic table is not normally located there! Haha.

Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.

Archway resp. arcade of the Château de Hautefort, connecting its western with its eastern wing, Dordogne, France
Some background information:
The Château de Hautefort (in English: "Hautefort Castle") is situated on a plateau in the northern part of the French department of Dordogne. It overlooks the village of Hautefort and is located approximately 34 kilometers (21 miles) northeast of the town of Périgueux. The building complex is the largest Baroque castle in southwestern France and one of the most significant castles in the Périgord region. Located in the far eastern part of the White Périgord (in French: "Périgord blanc"), the castle was classified as a historic monument in 1958. Since 1967, its French formal gardens and the landscaped park have also been listed as historic monuments.
As early as the 9th century, a fortress was located at the site of the present-day Hautefort Castle, belonging to the viscounts of Limoges. In 1030, the castle became the property of Guy de Lastours after he defeated the rebellious viscounts at Arnac on behalf of the Count of Périgord. Following his death in 1046, his sole daughter Aloaarz brought the property into her marriage with Aymar de Laron, who adopted the Lastours name.
Through the marriage of Agnes de Lastours in 1160, the castle passed to the family of her husband, Constantin de Born. Constantin and his brother Bertran de Born, quarreled over the castle, as they supported opposing factions of the English princes Henry the Young King and Richard the Lionheart. Bertran sided with Prince Henry, while Constantin aligned himself with Richard's camp. In 1182, Bertran managed to expel Constantin from the castle, but in the following year, after Henry's death, Richard the Lionheart laid siege to the fortress. After eight days, he captured it, took Bertran prisoner, and demolished the fortifications.
However, King Henry II of England granted Bertran his freedom and even restored the castle to him. In 1184, the rebuilding of the castle began. By 1196, Bertran retired to the Cistercian Abbey of Dalon and became a monk, while the grounds passed to his son. At that time, the structure consisted of a large donjon and several smaller towers connected by curtain walls and battlements.
In the course of the Hundred Years' War, English soldiers occupied the castle in 1355 and forced its owners to recognize the English king as their liege lord. However, in 1406, the castle returned to French control. Shortly before, the last male representative of the family, Bertrand, had died, and the property passed to his sole daughter, Marthe. Her son Antoine, from her second marriage to Hélie de Gontaut, adopted the name of the Hautefort lordship when he became the new lord of the castle. In 1588, the northwestern entrance wing of the castle was altered and fortified – perhaps influenced by the French Wars of Religion. This renovation likely replaced a less defensible Renaissance-style structure.
In 1614, under François de Hautefort, the seigneurie was elevated to a marquisate. Accordingly, he sought to replace the outdated structure with a representative château. In 1633, the marquis commissioned Nicolas Rambourg, an architect from Périgueux, to undertake a major renovation of the estate. When François passed away in 1640, the work was far from complete, leaving the task of continuing the project to his successor, his grandson Jacques-François. Jacques-François' sister, Marie, gained fame at the Parisian royal court as the platonic companion of King Louis XIII.
The death of Nicolas Rambourg in 1649 temporarily halted construction, but in 1651, the inauguration of a château chapel on the ground floor of the new logis was celebrated. In 1669, the marquis resumed the renovation project, enlisting the Parisian architect Jean Maigret. Maigret completed the château as a symmetrical three-wing complex in the style of classical Baroque, adding the current south tower and relocating the chapel there in 1670. Although the second marquis died in 1680, Maigret's work on the château continued until 1695. During the renovations, the defensive elements that had still been present at the beginning of the 17th century were gradually dismantled.
During the French Revolution, the citizens of Hautefort prevented the château's destruction. From 1793 to 1795, the estate was used as a prison. But after the revolutionary period, Sigismonde Charlotte Louise de Hautefort, the daughter of the last marquis, Louis Frédéric Emmanuel, regained control of the family seat. In 1853, the redesign of the château's gardens was commissioned and the plans were drawn up by Paul de Lavenne, one of the most renowned landscape architects in France at the time. He reimagined the baroque gardens on the terraces surrounding the château and designed a large English landscape garden with broad sightlines into the surrounding countryside.
After the death of Maxence de Hautefort in 1887, his second wife sold the estate in 1890 to wealthy industrialist Bertrand Artigues. Artigues undertook various restoration projects and demolished the old outbuildings to the northwest of the château. Despite these efforts, the structural condition of the château remained poor. After Bertrand Artigues passed away in 1908, his heirs sold the château in 1913 to a real estate speculator. Between then and 1925, the speculator sold off all the furnishings and interior elements, including paneling and parquet floors. Subsequently, the parceled estate was sold off piece by piece.
In 1929, Baron Henry de Bastard and his wife Simone, the daughter of banker and patron David David-Weill, purchased the château. They began extensive restoration work in 1930, which continued until 1965. The couple undertook a complete restoration of both the interior and exterior of the buildings and also worked to restore the baroque garden parterres based on historical plans. While the flowerbeds were replanted, the design created by Paul de Lavenne was preserved.
After the death of the baron in 1957, his widow opened the château to the public. However, this decision proved disastrous for the estate. In 1968, a major fire broke out, caused by a carelessly discarded cigarette butt from a visitor. The fire devastated the main northeastern wing, including its interiors and furnishings. Only the side wings with their round towers at the ends remained intact. But the baroness wasted no time and began restoration work as early as September of the same year. Using old photographs, the destroyed wing and its rooms were faithfully reconstructed and refurnished.
Today, the Château de Hautefort, along with its park and large sections of the French gardens, can be visited for an admission fee. Visitors can explore the interior rooms, including the grand reception hall, the château lord’s bedroom, Marie de Hautefort’s room in the Louis Quinze style, the chapel, and the kitchen. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the palace has also served as a film location for several productions. The last one was the movie "Ever After" from 1998, starring Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston.
