The high retail value of saffron is maintained on world markets because of labour-intensive harvesting methods, which require some 440,000 hand-picked saffron stigmas per kilogram (200,000 stigmas/lb) – equivalently, 150,000 crocus flowers per kilogram (70,000 flowers/lb). Forty hours of labour are needed to pick 150,000 flowers.
One freshly picked crocus flower yields on average 30 mg of fresh saffron or 7 mg dried; roughly 150 flowers yield 1 g (1⁄32 oz) of dry saffron threads; to produce 12 g (7⁄16 oz) of dried saffron, 450 g (1 lb) of flowers are needed; the yield of dried spice from fresh saffron is only 13 g/kg (0.2 oz/lb).
Barton Hill depot in Bristol will be the temporary home for 20901 and 20905 for the next 5 weeks whilst they undergo a repaint into Balfour Beatty livery.
The depot opened in 1840 as a locomotive depot until 1870 when it became a carriage and wagon servicing facility.
I remember it being the home of the Blue Pullman in the early 70s. It was used by RES for a little bit in the mid 90s and went into Arriva ownership in 2011.
Its great to see some locomotives from the 1960s in a depot building dating back to the 1840s.
On the 15th December 2010, they killed-off the Harrier to save less than £1bn. This year the UK government has already spend more than £300bn fighting COVID-19. That’s more money per day on COVID-19 than the entire savings from retiring the Harrier force.
Almighty God's Word "God Is the Source of Man's Life"
Introduction
Almighty God says, "The greatness and power of the life of God cannot be fathomed by any creature. It is thus now, was thus then, and will be thus in time to come. The second secret I shall impart is this: The source of life comes from God, for all creation, whatever the difference in form or structure. Whatever kind of living being you are, you cannot move counter to the path of life that God has set. In any case, all I wish is for man to understand that without the care, keeping, and provision of God, man cannot receive all that he was meant to receive, no matter how great the effort or struggle. Without the supply of life from God, man loses the sense of value in living and loses the sense of purpose in life."

Brief synthesis
Situated in North Yorkshire, the 18th century designed landscape of Studley Royal water garden and pleasure grounds, including the ruins of Fountains Abbey, is one harmonious whole of buildings, gardens and landscapes. This landscape of exceptional merit and beauty represents over 800 years of human ambition, design and achievement.
Studley Royal Park is one of the few great 18th century gardens to survive substantially in its original form, and is one of the most spectacular water gardens in England. The landscape garden is an outstanding example of the development of the ‘English’ garden style throughout the 18th century, which influenced the rest of Europe. With the integration of the River Skell into the water gardens and the use of ‘borrowed’ vistas from the surrounding countryside, the design and layout of the gardens is determined by the form of the natural landscape, rather than being imposed upon it. The garden contains canals, ponds, cascades, lawns and hedges, with elegant garden buildings, gateways and statues. The Aislabies’ vision survives substantially in its original form, most famously in the spectacular view of the ruins of Fountains Abbey itself.
Fountains Abbey ruins is not only a key eye catcher in the garden scheme, but is of outstanding importance in its own right, being one of the few Cistercian houses to survive from the 12th century and providing an unrivalled picture of a great religious house in all its parts.
The remainder of the estate is no less significant. At the west end of the estate is the transitional Elizabethan/Jacobean Fountains Hall, partially built from reclaimed abbey stone. With its distinctive Elizabethan façade enhanced by a formal garden with shaped hedges, it is an outstanding example of its period.
Located in the extensive deer park is St Mary’s Church, a masterpiece of High Victorian Gothic architecture, designed by William Burges in 1871 and considered to be one of his finest works.
Criterion (i): Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey owes its originality and striking beauty to the fact that a humanised landscape was created around the largest medieval ruins in the United Kingdom. The use of these features, combined with the planning of the water garden itself, is a true masterpiece of human creative genius.
Criterion (iv): Combining the remains of the richest abbey in England, the Jacobean Fountains Hall, and Burges’s miniature neo-Gothic masterpiece of St Mary’s, with the water gardens and deer park into one harmonious whole, Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey illustrates the power of medieval monasticism and the taste and wealth of the European upper classes in the 18th century.
The Jurassic Coast begins in Exmouth, East Devon, and continues for 95 miles to Old Harry Rocks, near Swanage, Dorset. It is England's only natural World Heritage Site, and was inscribed by UNESCO in 2001 for the outstanding universal value of its rocks, fossils and landforms.

Meet Bessy, the keeper of this 1964 Kombi Transporter!
Don't let these cute looks and big happy smile fool you . . . every time I spoke to Bessy or went near her she snarled at me, Stuart her owner admitting she she's getting a little old and grumpy!
Still . . . snarls and grumpiness aside when I pointed the camera at her she was all smiles and very adorable!
I met Bessy and Stuart at them at Cafe Dak Dak a few weeks back!
The detail picture featured here appears on the passenger side of Stuart's wonderful Kombi too! He's lucky enough to have two of these, this one and a beautifully restored 1966 Kombi which I am yet to feature valued at over $65,000.
Speaking of the value of Kombi's, a fully restored 1960,

Burns have entertainment value, but also purpose.
I have a special burn barrel with the bottom cut out. This is so I can move it around and place it on top of the large clumps of invasive non-native grass that I am trying to kill which is invading my wildflower meadow. (It's too rocky here to dig these deep-rooted grasses out).
The best time to kill grass with fire is in the summer when it is putting its energy into its leaves. In dormancy the plant's energy (and biomass) is safer, down in its roots. However, there is not enough burn load with the dead grass itself to eradicate it, so I use junk mail and other paper products. This is how grass was designed--to be grazed to the ground and be able to regrow.
I will continue to work this small plot through the summer, then it will take a couple years to build the micro-organisms back up, which I will hasten with an inoculation of soil from the creek, compost, and sprays of molasses. Then hopefully the wildflowers will recolonize.
Excerpt from doppleronline.ca/huntsville/saturday-streetscapes-paget-l...:
George Paget, a native of Bristol England who was born in 1839, immigrated to Canada and arrived in Huntsville in 1879.
George’s foray into the Muskoka business landscape began as a grain merchant; however, he eventually earned his living as a government timber inspector – probably a prudent job switch considering Huntsville’s limited grain production and its preponderance of rich timber forests.
George also tried his hand at local politics when he became a councillor in 1901 on Huntsville’s inaugural Town Council.
In 1903, he commissioned local builder William Proudfoot to construct one of Huntsville’s most beautiful homes at 75 Main Street West. Known as Paget House, the Victorian-style abode retains its majestic appearance right up to the present as a local office building.
George fathered two sons who seemed to inherit their dad’s entrepreneurial spirit.
Arthur and Charles Paget owned and operated Huntsville’s Paget Car Cooperage Company, Paget Grain Door Company, and Huntsville Syndicate. Harkening back to Dad George’s original roots in the grain business, the two Paget brothers manufactured grain doors. Indeed, their claim to fame appears to be a unique grain door invention for which, in 1923, they were issued a patent by the Canadian Patent Office.
Arthur again followed his father’s footsteps when he threw his hat into the Huntsville political ring and served as the town’s mayor in 1919–20. By the time of Arthur’s death on July 5, 1948 at the age of 81 years, Huntsville’s streets included another of the “mayor streets” – Paget Lane.
SN/NC: Alcantarea Imperialis, Bromeliaceae Family
Imperial bromeliad is a herbaceous plant, rube, of great proportions and high ornamental value. It is atemle, with long and wide leaves, coriaceous, with a snare surface, arranged in rosette and forming a "pot" in the center of the plant, where it accumulates water and nutrients. Its roots are strong, fibrous and lend themselves not only to plant nutrition, but mainly to its strong fixation on the substrate, so this bromeliad is fixed even on vertical rock walls. It is risky of being extinct. Its beauty call everyone’s attention including also birds (especially the hummingbirds) and bees.

The City Hall building, aside from its architectural and artistic value, reflects the image of Lisboa and of Liberal, Regenerating and Republican Portugal. Several important events in our history, such as the Proclamation of the Republic in October 5th 1910, were deeply associated to this building.
After the 1755 earthquake, during the Pombal reconstruction, the City Hall building was built in its present location, according to an architectural project signed by architect Eugénio dos Santos Carvalho, which was completely destroyed by a fire in November 19th 1863.
A new building was then built in the same place, between 1865 and 1880, based on an architectural project by the city architect of the time Domingues Parente da Silva, while the plan for the finishing of the façade was modified by a decision of Engineer Ressano Garcia, responsible for the Technical Services of the City, thus creating the large classical fronton with sculptor decorations by French sculptor Anatole Calmels. In the interior the intervention of architect José Luís Monteiro stands out, mainly in the central staircase, as well as in the rich painting decoration made by several artists, among whom it is worth highlighting José Pereira Júnior (Pereira Cão), Columbano and Malhoa. The building as a whole reveals the intervention of quite a wide number of personalities, both at architectural and constructive level, as well as at decorative level, showing quite high quality aesthetics and innovation.
Cuckmere Haven in Mono - an oldie but still a natural landscape that holds value to me. Because it was a lovely moment to just relax here for the best part of 3 hours waiting for a kingfisher to appear after a tip off. It didn't but the relaxation was needed.

Curbar is a village in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England.[1][2] Curbar is situated a mile north of Baslow, close to Calver on the A623.
The village has a street (Bar Road) with the highest average house value in Derbyshire.[citation needed] Close to the east are the popular rock-climbing escarpments of Curbar Edge and Baslow Edge. To the west of the village is the River Derwent. The parish church is dedicated to All Saints. Immediately to the south of the church stands Curbar Primary School, which serves the three villages of Curbar, Calver and Froggatt. The school is the custodian of an old May custom known as the Maybough. On the first of May, or as soon as possible thereafter, a tree-branch is brought into school and decorated with flowers given by the children. The Maybough is taken to various points in Curbar and Calver, where it is displayed to the accompaniment of songs and a dance which is particular to the occasion. The event is popular with both villagers, visitors and parents. Several attempts have been made to ascertain the origin of the Maybough, so far unsuccessfully. The only fact that is certain, is that the event was originally performed by the villagers rather than the school, the switchover taking place around the time of the First World War.
Thank you everyone so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep in touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued. I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups. I prefer not to receive invites to groups
I generally take a photo and then do my value sketch. If time I do a color sketch but most time I just paint. Really I don't care so much about local color because I will do my own thing from the value study. It works for me.

Long exposure using the Hoya ND1000. Missed focus as it was too dark through the filter and was seriously running out of time so I couldn’t take it off and readjust. Sharing it cause it has sentimental value to me as a close friend of mine passed away at his home near this spot. RIP Liam
I feel an arse saying so, but there's not much PP here, just a shot with very low tonal values, intense light and an extremely shallow DoF, came out nice though :) taken a few years ago.
Free people of the free world!
Ukrainians and citizens of all countries who value freedom!
Friends!
On March 24 it will be the month of our resistance. Heroic resistance of the Ukrainian state, the Ukrainian people to the ruthless invasion of Russia. It's already a month of our defense against the attempt to destroy us. Wipe off the face of the earth.
The original plan of the Russian troops failed already in the first days of the invasion. They thought Ukrainians would be frightened. They thought Ukrainians would not fight. They were wrong.
They know nothing about us, about Ukrainians. They know nothing at all about freedom. About how valuable it is. They do not know how freedom enriches life. Gives meaning to life.
But there are many of them! There are still many invaders. Russia is getting manpower from everywhere. Equipment. Air bombs, missiles. Looking for mercenaries around the world. Any scum capable of shooting at civilians.
Russian troops destroy our cities. Kill civilians indiscriminately. Rape women. Abduct children. Shoot at refugees. Capture humanitarian convoys. They are engaged in looting.
They burn museums, blow up schools and hospitals. The target for them is universities, residential neighborhoods... Anything! Russian troops do not know the limits of evil.
But...
The war of Russia is not only the war against Ukraine. Its meaning is much wider.
Russia started the war against freedom as it is.
This is only the beginning for Russia on the Ukrainian land. Russia is trying to defeat the freedom of all people in Europe. Of all the people in the world. It tries to show that only crude and cruel force matters.
It tries to show that people do not matter, as well as everything else that makes us people.
That’s the reason we all must stop Russia. The world must stop the war.
I thank everyone who acts in support of Ukraine. In support of freedom. But the war continues. The acts of terror against peaceful people go on. One month already! That long! It breaks my heart, hearts of all Ukrainians and every free person on the planet.
That’s why I ask you to stand against the war! Starting from March 24 – exactly one month after the Russian invasion… From this day and after then.
Show your standing! Come from your offices, your homes, your schools and universities. Come in the name of peace. Come with Ukrainian symbols to support Ukraine, to support freedom, to support life.
Come to your squares, your streets. Make yourselves visible and heard. Say that people matter. Freedom matters. Peace matters. Ukraine matters.
From March 24.
In downtowns of your cities.
All as one together who want to stop the war.
I want to address the citizens of Russia separately.
I am sure that there are many of you who are disgusted by the policy of your state. Who are already just sick of what you see on TV. Of the lies of your propagandists on the Internet. Propagandists who are paid by your taxes. And they lie about the war, which is paid for by your taxes. And which makes all the citizens of Russia poorer. Poorer every day.
Isn't that stupid? Your state collects taxes from you to make you poorer. To isolate you from the world. To make it easier for them to control you. And easier to send you to the war to die.
Ukraine has never threatened the security of Russia.
Even now, we are doing everything just to bring peace back to our land. Not to yours - to our land. To our people.
We are doing everything to end this war. And when we succeed - it will certainly happen - you will be sure of at least one thing: your children will no longer be sent to die on our land, on our territory.
Therefore, you, the citizens of Russia, are also interested in peace. Save your sons from the war. Tell the truth about the war. And if you can leave Russia so as not to give your taxes to the war, do it.
All polls show that the people of Europe and America support us.
I am grateful to all of you for that. Grateful on behalf of Ukraine. To everyone in the European Union, the United States, Canada, Britain and other countries for supporting us. For supporting freedom. For supporting Ukraine.
On March 24, three important summits will take place in Brussels, Europe. Important for the security of each of us. NATO Summit. EU Summit. G7 Summit.
I'm sure people will show how they support us. But politicians must also support freedom. All of them. They must support the struggle for life.
We are waiting for meaningful steps. From NATO, the EU and the G7.
We know that the Russians have already begun to lobby their interests. These are the interests of war. We know that they are working with some partners. We know that they want to put this issue out. The struggle against war. But this is the war that needs to be put out.
Our firm position will be represented at these three summits. At these three summits we will see: Who is a friend, who is a partner, and who betrayed us for money.
Life can be defended only when united. Freedom must be armed.
Ukrainian sky has not been made safe from Russian missiles and bombs. We have not received aircraft and modern anti-missile weapons. We have not received tanks, anti-ship equipment. Russian forces can keep killing thousands of our citizens, destroying our cities. Just because there are too many invaders. Just because Russia has been preparing for such a war for decades.
We asked to close our sky. And we asked for assistance from NATO to be effective and without limits. Any support in weapons that we need. We asked the Alliance to say it will fully help Ukraine win this war, clear our territories of the invaders and restore peace in Ukraine.
Free people of the free world!
Together we must prevent Russia from breaking someone in NATO, EU or G7. From breaking and taking it to the war side. We will see on March 24.
Ukrainians! All our heroes!
A month has passed. We withstood six times longer than the enemy had planned, than the Russian command had reported to the Russian president.
They were convinced that Ukraine is not a state. They were convinced that Ukrainians are not a nation. They deceived themselves. But we don't care about them. This is their state suicide. And we are just protecting our lives. Our freedom. Our own state. Our children. Hence, our future.
This is a war for independence. And we must win.
We will rebuild every city that heroically resists. We will bring the invaders to justice for every crime. Zhytomyr and Sumy, Kyiv and Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Mariupol, Volnovakha and Mykolaiv, Okhtyrka and Hostomel, Kherson and Odesa, Izyum and Donetsk, Luhansk and Chornobaivka... All our people will live! In a free Ukraine. After our victory. Which will come sooner, the more we will all be united.
We are all Ukrainians. We are all Europeans. We are all free people of the free world.
In unity! On the battlefield and in political positions, at rallies and summits, at work and in communication with people. By all our actions, we must force Russia to seek peace. By all our actions, we must bring the victory of freedom closer.
May the memory of all who died for Ukraine live forever!
Eternal glory to all our heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!
