Thank you very much for your comments and for your faves.
(Please do not use without my written permission.)
J'y suis allée hier soir à l'ouverture, avant qu'il y ait trop de monde. Entrée dans les premières, les conditions étaient idéales pour la partie jardin. Les installations étant protégées, on peut prendre des photos assez facilement. Pour qui veut y aller je recommande d'acheter le billet à l'avance sinon l'attente peut être assez longue.

An extra train of billets heads for South Buffalo to the steel mill. Two SD60s power the train at Klawitter
Another train of steel billets from Republic Steel off of the Wheeling exits the near 180 degree “Hell Bent Curve” just east (railroad east) of Bryant on the P&W. I think a trio of 60’s is gonna be the norm for these jobs, since three of the 45’s are stored now, and run-through/joint power must’ve been fazed out, thanks Mike Zollitsch...

L,hors délit
Le sentiment grandit dans les silences, et la distance allonge le désir
La pensée est pénétrée et la langue a le goût du sel de l'envie
L'air rougit de l'attente dans la crinière de la nuit,
Je te suis, le sable luit de la rosée..les pas du jour ont un parfum, nos deux mêlés

Blickling Hall is a stately home which is part of the Blickling estate. It is located in the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in Norfolk, England and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1940. In the 15th century, Blickling was in the possession of Sir John Fastolf of Caister in Norfolk (1380–1459), who made a fortune in the Hundred Years' War, and whose coat of arms is still on display there. Later, the property was in the possession of the Boleyn family, and home to Thomas Boleyn, later Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife Elizabeth between 1499 and 1505. Although the exact birth dates of their children are unknown, historians including Eric Ives are confident that all three surviving children were likely born at Blickling - Mary in about 1500, Anne in about 1501, and George in about 1504. A statue and portrait of Anne may be found at Blickling Estate which carry the inscription, "Anna Bolena hic nata 1507" (Anne Boleyn born here 1507), based on earlier scholarship which assigned Anne a (now thought highly improbable) year of birth of 1507. The house of Blickling seen today was built on the ruins of the old Boleyn property in the reign of James I, by Sir Henry Hobart, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and 1st Baronet, who bought Blickling from Robert Clere in 1616. The architect of Hatfield House, Robert Lyminge, is credited with the design of the current structure. The Lord Chief Justice married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Robert Bell of Beaupre Hall, Outwell/ Upwell, Norfolk, Speaker of the House of Commons 1572–1576. A grand display of heraldic material is present throughout the estate. During World War II the house was requisitioned and served as the Officers' Mess of nearby RAF Oulton. It was at this time that the house and its estate passed to The National Trust, under the terms of the Country Houses Scheme. RAF servicemen and women were billeted within the grounds in Nissen Huts, whilst RAF Officers were housed within Blickling itself. The National Trust has created the RAF Oulton Museum on site in tribute to the RAF pilots and ground crew who served in the Second World War, and this may be visited for no additional entrance fee. At the end of the war, the house was de-requisitioned. The National Trust again let it to tenants until 1960, when the Trust began the work to restore the house to a style reflecting its history. The house and grounds were opened to the public in 1962 and remain open under the name of "Blickling Estate". The library at Blickling Estate contains one of the most historically significant collections of manuscripts and books in England. The most important manuscript associated with the house is the Blickling Homilies, which is one of the earliest extant examples of English vernacular homiletic writings. The Blickling homilies were first edited and translated in the 19th century by Richard Morris (Early English Text Society os 58, 63 & 73) and there is a more recent edition and translation by Richard J. Kelly (Continuum, 2003). It is said that every year, on the anniversary of her execution, Anne Boleyn's headless ghost arrives at Blickling in a carriage driven by an equally headless coachman. But she hasn't lost her head completely in the afterlife—she carries it along with her during her hauntings. The exterior of the house was used as 'Maryiot Cells' at 'Maiden Worthy' in Buckinghamshire in the hit 1945 film The Wicked Lady. It was voted the most haunted house in Britain in a National Trust survey in October 2007. A house and garden existed at Blickling before the estate was purchased by the Boleyn family in the 1450s, but no records survive to give an indication of their appearance. After Sir Henry Hobart acquired the estate in 1616, he remodelled the gardens to include ponds, wilderness and a parterre. A garden mount– an artificial hill in Blickling's flat landscape, was made to provide views of the new garden. With the accession of Sir John Hobart (later the 1st Earl of Buckingham) in 1698 the garden was expanded to add a new wilderness and the temple was constructed. In the latter half of the 18th century John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, embarked on works that would radically change the appearance of the gardens. All traces of formality were removed, and naturally arranged clumps of trees were planted to create a landscape garden. By the 1780s an orangery had been built to overwinter tender citrus trees. Following the 2nd Earl's death in 1793, his youngest daughter Caroline, Lady Suffield, employed landscape gardener Humphry Repton and his son John Adey Repton to advise on garden matters. John Adey Repton would go on to provide designs for many garden features. The estate was inherited by nine-year-old William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th Marquess of Lothian in 1840. He later re-introduced the formality and colour schemes of the parterre. After his death at the age of 38, responsibility for the gardens rested with Lady Lothian and her head gardener Mr Lyon. Philip Henry Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian, inherited the estate in 1930. After disparaging comments in a publication of Country Life, Lothian engaged socialite gardener Norah Lindsay to remodel the gardens. In the parterre she replaced the jumble of minuscule flower beds with four large square beds planted with a mixture of herbaceous plants in graduated and harmonious colours. Other improvements included removal of a line of conifers in the Temple walk, which were replaced with plantings of azaleas.

Back in time again..not quite the furthest North I've been but close!
During my 'Amazing Day' in the Orkney Islands I visited this remarkable building, which is a highly ornate Catholic Chapel built in 1943 by some of the 200 Italian Prisoners of War captured in North Africa, billeted in Camp 60 on this previously uninhabited island, who worked on the Churchill Barriers - four causeways created to block the access to Scapa Flow.
In fact, despite the passage of some 70 years when I visited, remarkably several of the rusting hulks of the large block ships also sunk are still clearly visible.
The chapel's construction began in 1943 after the new Camp Commandant Major Thomas Buckland agreed to a behest for a place of worship from the Camp's Catholic Priest.
It was constructed of limited materials. Two Nissen Huts were joined end to end. The corrugated interior was then covered with plasterboard and the altar and altar rail were made from concrete left over from work on the barriers. I've posted a further shot of its remarkable ornate interior.
После обрезки фруктовых деревьев мы используем образовавшиеся остатки как дрова. Так и это поленце должно было пойти в печку.
Я был очарован внутренней окраской древесины и решил запечатлеть этот вид для себя а также попытаться поделиться своим впечатлением.
Это была довольно старая слива. Возможно, такая разноцветная окраска вызвана грибковыми или каким-либо другими заболеваниями, я не знаю.
After trimming orchard we use tree scraps as firewood. So this billet had to go to a furnace.
I was charmed by internal colouring of this piece of wood and decided to capture its look for myself as well as to try to share my impression.
It was quite old plum-tree. Probably such various colouring was caused by fungus infection or some another illness, I don't know.
