The city of Bath is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site for its undisputable cultural and architectural importance but is not designated as a dark sky spot for looking up at our Galaxy. The areas around the city is not stargazing friendly and to find a suitable place with low light interference is not trivial. You, of course, need a clear night sky, a challenge on its own recently too.
Last night a clear night was promised, so I thought to have a go to capture the Milky Way from a new location, a field next to the University Campus that also has few lovely trees scattered on the ground. There were few cows which were gently curious what this guy is about in the dark, limiting where you can wander with flashlight.
At the end, I was fairly pleased with the first attempt though composition could have been better. Single exposure, processed in LR 6.14. Bath, BANES, England, UK

Recently I realized his life project, what he was trying to tell me....took me a long time but I did. The circles and the lines, the life trails. Smaller circles inside larger circles, circles that osculate, lines that intersect, lines with parallel traces...meeting points, shapes, forever moving, forever changing. He showed me, but I could not see then. Now, I need an eternity to digest it. Please, can you stop and think about it for a minute, can you focus? Can you put these pieces in order? The sunshine in your eyes, a random touch, the way you can see behind the walls I put in front of me, the inconvenient silence, the whispers floating above our heads, the tears-these tiny rivers of relief, the empty words and the words with endless meanings-can you really distinguish? You know, my real self wanders somewhere far away from here and all these lines, all these circles are papercuts on its skin. We all carry our cross, but some carry crosses made of silk-it's not so easy to bleed this way, especially when you stand inbetween. Still, I do believe in wonders, I do believe that a flame can burn inside an iceberg. But if I could put it down in words I wouldn't take photos, if I could write poems I wouldn't keep this imaginary diary. It is obvious for you, isn't it? I know you can decode it, I know you can burn down this labyrinth, I know you can take me by the hand and lead me to the exit. I trust you.

Thursday we went to the Clergy House in Alfriston, Sussex, and snapped 4 chairs for my National Trust chairs project.
The property was the first to be purchased by the National Trust in 1896. Up until then, the NT had only acquired land for use by one and all.
Today's image was taken at Packwood House which is a National Trust property in Lapworth near to Solihull. The view is of a room that is called the Ireton Bathroom. The room was restyled in the 1930's with Blue and White Dutch Delft tiles and ornate bath fittings. The room is called the Ireton Bathroom due to the Parliamentary General Henry Ireton staying in the adjoining bedroom at the beginning of the English Civil War in 1642.
The photo was taken using the app Camera Awesome on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Lightroom mobile to edit the photo. I straightened the image and applied the Dynamic Colour preset. I changed the White balance and boosted the contrast using the Dehaze feature. I also increased the Saturation, Vibrance and Clarity. Next I used the App Mextures to apply a new Formula called Manchester Morgue by Tony Detroit. I then used Painteresque to add the Painteresque 2 preset. Finally I used the app PhotoToaster to add the Tuneup preset, the Vibrant FX, a Small dark Vignette. I then added the Canvas texture and the Leather frame.
Basildon Park is a country house situated 2 miles (3 kilometres) south of Goring-on-Thames and Streatley in Berkshire, between the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon. It is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade I listed building. The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical "Adamesque" style.
Never fully completed, the house passed through a succession of owners. In 1910 it was standing empty and in 1914, it was requisitioned by the British Government as an army convalescent hospital. It was again sold in 1928 and quickly sold again. In 1929, following a failed attempt to dismantle and rebuild the house in the US, it was stripped of many of its fixtures and fittings and all but abandoned.
During World War II, the house was again requisitioned and served as a barracks, a training ground for tanks, and finally a prisoner of war camp—all activities unsuited to the preservation of an already semi-derelict building. In 1952, a time when hundreds of British country houses were being demolished, it was said of Basildon Park "to say it was derelict, is hardly good enough, no window was left intact and most were repaired with cardboard or plywood."[1]
Today, Basildon Park is as notable for its mid-twentieth-century renaissance and restoration, by Lord and Lady Iliffe, as it is for its architecture. In 1978, the Iliffes gave the house, together with its park and a large endowment for its upkeep, to the National Trust in the hope that "The National Trust will protect it and its park for future generations to enjoy.
