Lots of sunspots to enjoy at present, especially the very large group AR3615. The image isn't as sharp as I'd like, but the Baader film is due for replacement.

Going to work, on bicycle of course, I spotted this swan swimming. It was very foggy which added to the feeling of solitude. In post cropping and color correction. I tried BW but did not like the effect.
West German postcard by Kolibri, Minden/Westf, no. 2630. Photo: 20th Century Fox. Peter O'Toole in How to Steal a Million (William Wyler, 1966).
Golden-haired, blue-eyed Peter O'Toole (1932-2013) became an international superstar with his unforgettable turn as the British expatriate T.E. Lawrence in David Lean's epic masterpiece Lawrence of Arabia (1962). After surviving cancer and alcoholism, O’Toole made a triumphant come-back with Oscar-nominated appearances in The Stunt Man (1980) and My Favorite Year (1982).
Peter Seamus Lorcan O'Toole was born in 1932. In his autobiography 'Loitering with Intent: the Child' (1992), O’Toole writes that he is not certain of his birthplace, while he has birth certificates from two countries. According to IMDb, he was born in Connemara, Ireland. Other sources indicate Leeds, England, where he also grew up, as his birthplace. However, he was the son of Constance Jane (née Ferguson), a Scottish nurse, and Patrick Joseph O'Toole, an Irish metal plater, football player and racecourse bookmaker. As a boy, Peter decided to become a journalist, beginning as a newspaper copyboy. Although he succeeded in becoming a reporter, he discovered the theatre and made his stage debut at 17. He served as a radioman in the Royal Navy for two years. From 1952 to 1954 he attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art as a scholarship student. His classmates included Albert Finney, Alan Bates and Richard Harris. While at RADA he was active in protesting British involvement in the Korean War. Later in the 1960s, he would be an active opponent of the Vietnam War. O'Toole began working in the theatre, gaining recognition as a Shakespearean actor at the Bristol Old Vic and with the English Stage Company, before making an inconspicuous film debut in the Walt Disney production Kidnapped (Robert Stevenson, 1960), a faithful adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic. Two years later, O'Toole was chosen by director David Lean to play Thomas E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean, 1962). The part of the conflicted British liaison officer caught at the centre of an Arab revolt made O'Toole an international superstar. Brian McFarlane observes in the Encyclopedia of British Film: “It was a remarkable study in obsession, catching the right balance between mystic and man of action, bringing to the role kinds of intensity and zeal that few other British actors could have done”. He continued successfully in artistically rich films as well as less artistic but commercially rewarding projects. He was nominated as Best Actor for King Henry II in Becket (Peter Glenville, 1964) starring Richard Burton. Two years later he was nominated again for portraying Henry II, this time in The Lion in Winter (Anthony Harvey, 1968) alongside Katharine Hepburn.
Peter O‘Toole was one of the greatest actors of his generation. During his career, he received eight Academy Award nominations but never won the Oscar. (He had more nominations without winning than any other actor.) TCM suggests that his flamboyant personal life was maybe to blame: “Known as one of Hollywood's most infamous party animals in his prime, O'Toole earned a reputation as a prodigious drinker alongside his contemporaries and fellow countrymen Richard Harris, Richard Burton, and Oliver Reed. O'Toole's booze-fueled hijinks eventually took their toll, however, on both his career and his health. While the actor did manage to pick up his fifth Oscar nomination for the wickedly funny The Ruling Class (Peter Medak, 1972), the seventies were, generally speaking, a decade-long low-point in the actor's personal life and career.” Once considered one of the most beautiful men ever to grace the silver screen only a decade earlier, O'Toole's alcoholism had cost him his looks. In 1979, his 20-year marriage to Irish actress Sian Phillips ended in divorce, when she left him for a younger man. Medical problems threatened to destroy his life. Originally he thought the problems were the result of his drinking but it turned out to be stomach cancer. He survived by giving up alcohol and by serious medical treatment. He returned to the cinema with two triumphant performances: a sadistic, tyrannical director in the behind-the-scenes comedy The Stunt Man (Richard Rush, 1980), and an ageing swashbuckling film star strongly resembling Errol Flynn in My Favorite Year (Richard Benjamin, 1982). For both films, he received an Oscar nomination. On stage, he received good reviews as John Tanner in Man and Superman and as Henry Higgins in 'Pygmalion' (1984), and he won a Laurence Olivier Award for his performance in 'Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell' (1989). However, O'Toole found meaningful film roles increasingly difficult to come by. He appeared in such duds as Supergirl (Jeannot Swarc, 1984), Creator (Ivan Passer, 1985) and Club Paradise (Harold Ramis, 1986), but fortunately, he also appeared in the much-garlanded grand epic The Last Emperor (Bernardo Bertolucci, 1987). The film about the final Emperor of China (John Lone) won the Oscar for Best Picture.
After another series of lesser films, Peter O'Toole made again a comeback in the new decennium. In 1999 he already won an Emmy Award for his role in the mini-series Joan of Arc (Christian Duguay, 1999). In 2003, he received a Special Oscar for lifetime achievement, an honour O'Toole only reluctantly accepted. He wrote the Academy a letter stating that he was “still in the game” and proved to be so in the following years. In the blockbuster Troy (Wolfgang Petersen, 2004) he played the dying King Priam opposite Brad Pitt. In the BBC drama serial Casanova (2005), he appeared as the older version of a legendary 18th-century Italian adventurer. He was once again nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Maurice in the May-December romantic comedy Venus (Roger Michell, 2006), scripted by Hanif Kureishi. It was his eighth nomination. O'Toole co-starred as the voice of food critic Anton Ego in the Pixar box office hit Ratatouille (Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava, 2007), an animated film about a rat with dreams of becoming the greatest chef in Paris. O'Toole appeared in the second season of Showtime's hit drama series The Tudors (2008), portraying Pope Paul III, who excommunicates King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) from the church. This act leads to a showdown between the two men in seven of the ten episodes. O'Toole narrated the horror comedy Eldorado (Richard Driscoll, 2011). O'Toole narrated the horror comedy Eldorado (Richard Driscoll, 2011), but in 2012 O'Toole released a statement that he was retiring from acting. Following a long illness, Peter O'Toole died peacefully in a London hospital in 2013. He had two daughters, actresses Patricia O'Toole and Kate O'Toole (1960), from his marriage to Siân Phillips. He also has a son, actor Lorcan O'Toole (1983), by American model Karen Brown. For his body of work, he has won four Golden Globes, a BAFTA, and an Emmy.

Sagres, Portugal
Lighthouse characteristics:
1960 (station established 1894). Active; focal plane 53 m (174 ft); red light, 1 s on, 1 s off. 13 m (43 ft) square concrete tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story equipment building. The tower is unpainted concrete; the lantern is white with a red roof.
It was in Sagres that Henrique of Aviz (Prince Henry the Navigator) founded his famous school of navigation and cartography in the mid 1400s, thus powering the great Portuguese discoveries soon to come in Africa, Brazil and the Orient. The town is on the east side of the Cabo de São Vicente, sheltered by the long finger of the Ponta de Sagres. Located at the end of the peninsula, about 2 km (1.2 mi) south of Sagres.

Description Famed astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon during the historic Apollo 11 space mission in July 1969, served for seven years as a research pilot at the NACA-NASA High-Speed Flight Station, now the Dryden Flight Research Center, at Edwards, California, before he entered the space program. Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory (later NASA's Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, and today the Glenn Research Center) in 1955. Later that year, he transferred to the High-Speed Flight Station at Edwards as an aeronautical research scientist and then as a pilot, a position he held until becoming an astronaut in 1962. He was one of nine NASA astronauts in the second class to be chosen. As a research pilot Armstrong served as project pilot on the F-100A and F-100C aircraft, F-101, and the F-104A. He also flew the X-1B, X-5, F-105, F-106, B-47, KC-135, and Paresev. He left Dryden with a total of over 2450 flying hours. He was a member of the USAF-NASA Dyna-Soar Pilot Consultant Group before the Dyna-Soar project was cancelled, and studied X-20 Dyna-Soar approaches and abort maneuvers through use of the F-102A and F5D jet aircraft. Armstrong was actively engaged in both piloting and engineering aspects of the X-15 program from its inception. He completed the first flight in the aircraft equipped with a new flow-direction sensor (ball nose) and the initial flight in an X-15 equipped with a self-adaptive flight control system. He worked closely with designers and engineers in development of the adaptive system, and made seven flights in the rocket plane from December 1960 until July 1962. During those fights he reached a peak altitude of 207,500 feet in the X-15-3, and a speed of 3,989 mph (Mach 5.74) in the X-15-1. Armstrong has a total of 8 days and 14 hours in space, including 2 hours and 48 minutes walking on the Moon. In March 1966 he was commander of the Gemini 8 orbital space flight with David Scott as pilot - the first successful docking of two vehicles in orbit. On July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 lunar mission, he became the first human to set foot on the Moon.
