If you've ever seen the poster for the Terminator 3 movie, there's one bright (red) eye and an eye in shadow; these photos remind me of that. And I love 'em!

Dalle de verre stained glass panel on the north side (liturgical south) of the church by Pierre Fourmaintraux.
Cheylesmore's church is often described as embodying the ‘Festival of Britain’ style and spirit, and this is no exaggeration. Situated in the southern suburbs of Coventry, Christ Church was built in 1954-7 on an ambitious scale to replace the war damaged Christ Church in the city centre (a Victorian rebuilding of the medieval Greyfriars church, of which only the octagonal steeple remains, the third of Coventry’s famous Three Spires). Designed by A.H. Gardner & Partners, this was one of the grandest and most expensive post-war churches in the country, and says much about the vision and optimism with which new churches were constructed at the time.
The church takes the form of a vast triple-aisled hall, the roof forming a low curve over each aisle which gives the main facade with its largely glazed walls a distinctive outline. Next to this rises the tapering oblong tower with its curious chequerboard top storey (originally a mixture of glazed panels and louvered grills, but replaced by brickwork in more recent years).
The interior is the most astonishing sight here, a great open space only lightly divided into three aisles by slender concrete columns, supporting a great expanse of concave plaster ceiling above, replete with perforated panels (decorated with badges of the City Guilds). The expanses of brick and woodwork are relieved by an unusually bold colour scheme of purple columns and a pinkish lilac for wall panelling (again with a chequered configuration on the south side). Each aisle terminates in a decorative wall finish, most notably the chancel with its wooden reredos with carved angels by John Skelton, whose Evangelist figures also adorn the nearby pulpit. Further angels can be found in more surprising places, a pair flank a clock above the tower door, but most eccentric of all are the tiny wooden figurines suspended in oddly birdcage-like light-fittings along the nave, giving these angels the appearance of caged canaries!
The vast windows are mostly of textured glass, but each contains a pair of densely coloured dalle-de-verre stained glass panels, figurative images from the Life of Christ by Pierre Fourmaintraux from 1955. These mosaics of glass chunks set in concrete are very rich, but alas overwhelmed by the clear glass surrounding them. Nevertheless they form a rare scheme in this medium, and illustrate the unusual degree of artistry lavished on this church.
The church isn't normally open to visitors outside of service times so an appointment will be necessary to see inside. I am hugely grateful to Jenny Scragg in the parish office for being so helpful and welcoming to me here.
The Prototype model is done, now i have something to work with for the rest of them. The types i will make are (chaos lord terminators, assault terminators, terminator captains, regular ones and a terminator chaplain
Bolton Abbey, Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, England, takes its name from the ruins of the 12th-century Augustinian monastery now known as Bolton Priory. The priory, closed in the 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by King Henry VIII, is in the Yorkshire Dales, next to the village of Bolton Abbey. The estate is open to visitors, and includes many miles of all-weather walking routes. The Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway terminates at Bolton Abbey station one and a half miles/2.5 km from Bolton Priory.
The monastery was founded at Embsay in 1120. Led by a prior, Bolton Abbey was technically a priory, despite its name. It was founded in 1154 by the Augustinian order, on the banks of the River Wharfe. The land at Bolton, as well as other resources, were given to the order by Lady Alice de Romille of Skipton Castle in 1154. In the early 14th century Scottish raiders caused the temporary abandonment of the site and serious structural damage to the priory. The seal of the priory featured the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Child and the phrase sigillum sancte Marie de Bolton.The nave of the abbey church was in use as a parish church from about 1170 onwards, and survived the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Building work was still going on at the abbey when the Dissolution of the Monasteries resulted in the termination of the priory in January 1540. The east end remains in ruins. A tower, begun in 1520, was left half-standing, and its base was later given a bell-turret and converted into an entrance porch. Most of the remaining church is in the Gothic style of architecture, but more work was done in the Victorian era, including windows by August Pugin. It is still a working priory today, holding services on Sundays and religious holidays. Bolton Abbey churchyard contains the war grave of a Royal Flying Corps officer of the First World War.
The Craven Heifer
The Domesday Book lists Bolton Abbey as the caput manor of a multiple estate including 77 carucates of ploughland (around 9240 acres/3850 ha) belonging to Edwin, Earl of Mercia. The estate then comprised Bolton Abbey, Halton East, Embsay, Draughton; Skibeden, Skipton, Low Snaygill, Thorlby; Addingham, Beamsley, Holme, Gargrave; Stainton, Otterburn, Scosthrop, Malham, Anley; Coniston Cold, Hellifield and Hanlith. They were all laid waste in the Harrying of the North after the defeat of the rebellion of Edwin, Earl of Mercia and classified as the Clamores (disputed land) of Yorkshire until around 1090, when they were transferred to Robert de Romille, who moved its administrative centre to Skipton Castle. The Romille line died out around 1310, and Edward II granted the estates to Robert Clifford. In 1748 Baroness Clifford married William Cavendish and Bolton Abbey Estate thereafter belonged to the Dukes of Devonshire, until a trust was set up by the 11th Duke of Devonshire turning it over to the Chatsworth Settlement Trustees to steward.
Today, the 33,000 acre (134 km2) estate contains six areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, including Strid Wood, an ancient woodland (mainly oak), which contains the length of the River Wharfe known as The Strid, and a marine fossil quarry. The estate encompasses 8 miles (13 km) of river, 84 farms, 84 buildings of architectural interest, and four Grade I listed buildings; and is currently home to 27 businesses from tearooms to bookshops. The iconic stepping stones cross the River Wharfe near the Abbey ruins. The estate includes extensive grouse moors, including Barden Moor on the west side of Wharfedale and Barden Fell on the east side of the dale. There is also a pheasant shoot. Apart from people employed within these businesses, the estate employs about 120 staff to work on the upkeep of the estate. Much of the estate is open to the public. A charge is made for car parking. The Dales Way passes through the estate on a permissive path. Barden Moor and Barden Fell, which includes the prominent crag of Simon's Seat, are on access land, and permissive paths lead up to the moors. Access to the moors may be closed to the public during the shooting season.
Bolton Abbey Hall, originally the gatehouse of the priory, was converted into a house by the Cavendish family. The hall is a Grade II* listed building.As well as Bolton Abbey, the Cavendish family also own the Chatsworth (Derbyshire, England) and Lismore Castle (Waterford, in the Republic of Ireland) estates. In the early nineteenth century, a cow known as the Craven Heifer was bred on the Bolton Abbey estate. Weighing 312 stone (1.98 tonnes), and measuring 11 ft 4ins in length and over 7 ft in height, she to this day remains Britain's largest ever cow.

Built in 1904 in the Romanesque Revival style at the corner of Gest Street and Pearl Street (now Pete Rose Way) to house the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Freight Terminal, this building, at the time of its construction, was reportedly one of the largest freight stations in the world, standing 5 stories in height and 1,277 feet long. The building, designed by M.A. Long, consists of a limestone base, upon which the brick structure of the upper floors sits. At the fourth floor, the pilasters that begin at the limestone piers on the first floor terminate in brick corbeling, supporting arches that curve gracefully over each window bay. Above this, the fifth floor features a parapet at the top with extensive corbeling. Originally, the building housed an inbound freight station for the B & O Railroad on the first floor, with four floors of warehouse space above, and sat among a sizable rail yard that extended for several blocks. Following the movement of most rail traffic to a new yard parallel to Mill Creek during the Union Terminal project during the 1920s, which was completed in 1933, the building slowly began to decline in importance. However, it was still being utilized by the railroad when the end was truncated in the 1960s to allow for construction of the Brent Spence Bridge at the eastern end of the structure, leading to an addition being constructed on the north side of the building. In 1985, the building ceased being utilized by the railroad, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 to assist in the adaptive reuse of the building, which has since been converted into an office building with multiple tenants, as well as retail space. The building also housed the Cincinnati Children's Museum at the western end until 1997, when the building was partially flooded by the Ohio River, leading to the departure of the museum to the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal. The building is presently at risk under the proposed plans for a new bridge downriver of the Brent Spence Bridge to carry interstate traffic, which would lead to the demolition of a portion of the eastern end of the building, already partially truncated in the 1960s.
TERMINATOR
Filename: Unknown.
Affiliation: Dreadnoks.
P.M.S.: Heavy Weapons & Close-Quarters Assault.
S.M.S.: Deep Cover Infiltration.
Birthplace: Classified (Records erased).
No one’s sure where Terminator came from—just that he showed up at a Dreadnok outpost in the Outback, beat the gang's strongest to a pulp, and asked for a job in a monotone growl. Since then, he’s become one of Zartan’s most reliable muscle: expressionless, precise, and devastatingly effective.
But beneath the shades and biker gear lies a hidden agenda. Terminator is actually a cybernetic infiltration unit—designation T-800—sent from a shadow-program buried deep within Cobra’s rogue AI division. His mission: track and neutralize the T-1000, an advanced prototype currently operating undetected inside the obscure law enforcement unit known as Zombie Squad.
The Dreadnoks believe he’s just another brute who loves destruction. In truth, Ironfist is collecting data, narrowing in on his quarry, and waiting for the perfect moment to terminate the threat. He doesn’t eat, doesn’t sleep, and doesn’t miss.
Day 329: T100+. Terminator, model T100+ (plus sized, overweight) :) Sorry, thought of that movie when I saw this shot. Wasn't my original intention.
