These little houses are the center of the handmade artcraft in Florence. They are in front of the famous Arno river, and they are the best attraction for the tourists. They are old and fascinating and beautiful in the same time! I love the mood around them!
In the first day that I was in the fields (a Sunday), there were many cars and many people there as you may saw in the previous photos.
Most of them were photographing the flowers, other up the hill having lunch, buying artcraft products, observing the destroyed city or searching for the better viewing angle to see the wonderful mosaic of colors - a splendid gift from nature with human intervention.
I realized that people were having so much fun there, each one in his own way, but the most popular game was certainly collecting memories.
Gardens of Great Britain
This is a series of photographs taken in the many gardens we have visited over a long period time. It never ceases to amaze how many gardens there are and the variety they show, long may it continue.
Today’s contribution comes from Great Dixter, a garden we have visited quite a few times and never ceases to amaze. The planting is always brilliant.

Great Dixter House and Gardens, Northiam, East Sussex
Great Dixter was the family home of the Gardener and gardening writer Christopher Lloyd. His style of planting and placing of colour combinations is synonymous with Great Dixter itself, a vision for over 40 years. Now under the stewardship of Fergus Garrett and the Great Dixter Charitable Trust, it is a truly wonderful garden to visit. It is quite small but timeless. Bodiam Castle is only 4.5 miles away, so it would be very easy to combine the two visits together.
This is the first of a new series of photographs that I will post from Great Dixter. These were taken in June 2019. Please do look through my Album ‘Gardens of Sussex’ to see the earlier series of postings.

Haven't been able to shoot photographs for a while, and won't be able to for another while, ... but I still prefer to just sit back, relax, and listen to some music after uploading pictures... Happy Wednesday, my dear friends!

Doors, Door Knockers and Windows of the World
These sets of images are more from my door, door knockers, shutters and windows collection. I’ve added a few from overseas to the mix plus the odd Blue Plaque. There are many more to follow. In time, every door opens…………
This was the old Main Line Station building now Llanberis Art & Craft - selling arts, crafts and Welsh goods.
Also a coffee pot cafe // restaurant.
Located on the Main Road across from Electric Mountain.
Llanberis is a village, community and electoral ward in Gwynedd, northwest Wales, on the southern bank of the lake Llyn Padarn and at the foot of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales.
Stained Glass
This is another passion of mine, photographing stained glass windows, my favourite period is the ‘Arts and Crafts’ windows of the late 19th and early 20th century. The following images cannot be seen in the form that I’ve presented them. I have created frames using bits of other windows or architecture that have been acquired over a period of time also there may be some colour changes. I like the effect, hope you do too.
More to follow later ……….
The Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity with St Jude or simply known as The Holy Trinity
Situated in Sloane Street, Upper Chelsea, London SW1X 9BZ. The church was built between 1888 and 1890 and was built in the Art and Crafts style. Designed by John Dando Sedding architect and funded by the 5th Earl Cadogan. The church did replace an earlier building only erected some 60 years before.
The church was built on a grand scale. It is apparently the widest church in London, a whole 9 inches (23cm) wider than St Paul’s Cathedral but not in length.
Although Sedding was the original designer he unfortunately died in 1891 and the work passed on to Henry Wilson. He completed the internal decoration to the original drawings did not entirely complete some of the glass. Other artisans including F.W. Pomeroy, H.H. Armstrong, Onslow Ford and Hamo Thorneycroft who also took part in design and sculpture.
The church is well endowed with beautiful stained glass windows. Works from William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, The Powell Co, Christopher Whall and William Blake-Richmond. There is an extremely large east window that was created by Burne-Jones and William Morris. Not all windows are stained, for instance the large west window remains clear glass, destroyed in enemy action and incredibly the others were saved. This window has yet to be complete to its original plan.
There was a plan mooted in the 60’s to demolish the building and replace it with a smaller one but due to the campaign led by Sir John Betjaman and The Victorian Society the building was saved from this fate and is now a thriving place of worship.
The organ was originally made by J.W. Walker & Sons and had its own chamber to rest in, a requirement of John Sedding, himself an organist. It was damaged during WWII but had repairs in 1947, more restoration in 1967 and in 2012 the completion of enlargement work by the firm of Harrison & Harrison.
Famous people connected with the church include: William Ewart Gladstone, Sir Charles Dilke both Liberal politicians, William Thesiger, the actor and many other notable persons of the time. Another notable person who is honoured with a plaque is Archibald Sturrock, Chief Engineer of the Great Northern Railway
Gladstone has a blue plaque erected at 11 Carlton Terrace, SW1Y 5AJ
and Dilke is honoured at 76 Sloane Street, SW1X 9SF for those that are interested. Alas Archibald Sturrock and William Thesiger have no blue plaques, not that I’m aware of.

London Scenes – Various – Part Three
As the title infers, these will be slices of London, hopefully including every aspect of life. Including Architecture, Sculpture, People, Graffiti, Transport, Doors and pretty much everything I have seen over the past 10 to 15 years of photography.
Melbourne mobile art trams add to the attraction and give credence to the culture that delights those who stay around long enough to appreciate
