Took the kids and the family down to the Harbour estate to see the QE2.but i wanted to go down to the pump house, as the traffic was being directed, i stopped and asked the gentleman could we get down the road to the pump house, he wasn't from NI and he said that i follow cars, as there were some behind me (like that was the understatement of the year) so again i asked if i could go straight down the road and he said that other person would help me. so i said ok, put the windae back up and said "that fellow was helpful... not" and holden pipes up in the backseat (bernie, you'll hear this with the accent!!!) "that man was STUPID!" omg talk about near wetting yerself laughin... the rain may have been coming down hard but it certainly didn't dampen the spirits!

A lily illuminated by window light, with the "sexy bits" casting the shadow of a face on the petals.
This was the first photo that I took after coming home from hospital following an emergency operation for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. I was very lucky because the aneurysm burst when I was in the hospital ward of a NHS Centre of Excellence for vascular surgery, so my chances of survival were about 50% instead of only about 6% if it had ruptured at home! If it had ruptured 8 days earlier, I would have been on a boat on the Nile and I don't think I would have had much chance!
I'm well on the mend now and looking forward to seeing things through the lens in a new light following my lucky reprieve.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY
Tenuous Link: Shadows
East window of the south choir aisle designed by Edward Burne Jones and made by Morris & Co 1878. One of a sequence at the east end of the cathedral.
Officially known as Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford's diocesan church is unique in many ways and a bit of an anomaly amongst English cathedrals, being not only one of the very smallest of the older foundations but also the only cathedral anywhere to also serve as a college chapel (a strange and not entirely easy marriage of roles to the uninitiated visitor as this feels more a part of Christ Church College than the mother church of Oxfordshire Diocese).
Its history is even more varied, having originally been founded as the monastic church of St Frideswide, a community that ended its days prematurely ahead of the Dissolution when Cardinal Wolsey suppressed it in order to implement his plans to turn the site into his newly founded Christ's College. The western half of the nave was demolished as work began on the college quadrangle in its place and the truncated remainder would have followed had the founder's original vision of a new chapel been realised. In the end Henry VIII continued work on the college after Wolsey's demise and it was refounded as Christ Church, retaining St Frideswide's monastic church as the chapel. He also raised Oxford to the seat of a diocese in 1542, initially raising the newly dissolved Osney Abbey (to the west of the city) to the rank of cathedral but only two years later in 1544 that role was transferred to Christ Church and St Frideswide's / Christ Church College Chapel has served the role of Oxford's cathedral ever since. Osney was abandoned and one of the city's grandest buildings (and perhaps a more suitable cathedral in many ways) has sadly has all but vanished today.
Entering the cathedral for the first time can be a slightly bewildering experience, it is unlike any other cathedral in the country in that the exterior of the building is really quite elusive and inaccessible for the most part being surrounded by private areas of the college complex. There is no west facade, this was demolished to build the vast quadrangle through which it is now entered, thus one walks into the east side of the college quad with little sense that one is about to emerge inside a small cathedral. The other main route for visitors sends them via the former monastic cloister on the south side, and this is the only area where the public gets to see the external appearance of the cathedral in any detail, otherwise only the 13th century central tower (rising from a Norman base) with its short spire asserts itself above the masses of the college's various wings and courtyards.
Inside it is clear that this is still largely a cruciform late Norman church, the short nave and choir beyond the crossing both defined by round Romanesque arches of c1180, though here with a surprising twist, with a double row of inner and outer arches into the aisles, one superimposed over the other at different heights, a quite eccentric design. The outstanding architectural feature here however is the choir vault, a stunning early fan vault uniquely designed with lace-like ribs in stellar formation and hanging pendants, the visual climax of the interior. The east wall with its rose window was redesigned in the Victorian restoration by George Gilbert Scott to replace a large window (a later insertion) that had filled the entire space.
The most interesting area of the cathedral is the collection of chapels that fill the north east corner, the largest being known as the 'Latin Chapel' and containing medieval tombs including the reconstructed base of the former shrine of St Frideswide. There is much 14th century glass in this chapel too, although the very finest ancient glass here is in the chapel off the south transept where the traceries are filled with some of the most beautiful and richly coloured pieces of medieval glass that have survived.
The post medieval glass here however is equally significant and includes a delightful enamel-painted window by the Van Linge brothers, sadly the only complete window of a sequence installed in the early 17th century to have survived the turbulence of the Civil War. Better known is the sequence of Pre-Raphaelite windows designed by Sir Edward Burne Jones, most in his familiarly graceful style but the earliest (the St Frideswide Window) is quite different and full of rich glowing colour.
Exploring the cathedral doesn't take as long as most of its kind owing to the small scale of the building, but a visit isn't complete without taking in the small cloister and the impressive rectangular chapter house on the south side, a vaulted room of c1300 that has notable carvings and surviving medieval paintings in medallions on the vault.
Christ Church Cathedral is a rewarding place to visit, but it can be a little frustrating and less relaxing than most owing to the constant flow of visitors in a relatively small space. Entry to the college isn't cheap and is the only way for non-residents to visit as one cannot view the cathedral in isolation (visitors currently have to follow a pre-set route around the college dining hall before reaching the church). It does make me wonder how this building manages to function as a diocesan church, but whatever the complications it never fails to deliver with its beautiful architecture and stunning glass.

A bit of a cliché but it was there and so was I. The brown water of the Bristol Channel forced this into black and white but I was going there anyway so it was no bother.

Bit.Fall de Julius Popp, œuvre contemporaine exposée sur le pont Boieldieu lors de Rouen Impressionnée
I had a little bit of time to chill today....... so I rolled over to [Tate Modern](www.tate.org.uk/) to take in the [Damien Hirst show](www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/damien-hi...)......... I wanted to see it partly because I really wanted to see [' For The Love of God '](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_Love_of_God) the human skull cast in platinum and inlaid with over 8 thousand perfect diamonds......... It was as I kind of expected : totally incredible ..... Awesome !!! as many of my American friends would say ....... Sure there is all that : Can it be right?............ To create a piece of art work of diamonds and platinum (and human teeth) valued at $75 million ? ........... but put aside any politics and just look at it ........ and just feel its effect on you ..............
It's a pretty mesmerizing thing ......... with the light constantly shimmering off of this perfect representation of death.................. It is contained in a dark black box of an apparently sealed cube room in the middle of the giant Turbine Hall at the Tate....... people are gathered around it the way they gather round [The Black Kaaba Stone](blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2007/12/18/on-the-haj-circli...) in Mecca ........ but this black sarcophagus guarded by muscle bound men in black suits with earpieces......... contains only blackness when you first enter...... then at its very center a glass cube ........ within the glass the perfect vision of death glinting and glowing in its amazing beauty. Colors from white.... shards of light..... glinting and gleaming constantly sparkling from the white diamonds causing almost a sensation that the head is turning ........ The piece dominates....... Everything else is blackness..........
You are not allowed to photograph it of course ....... A man was being dragged out by the black suited body guard types for the offense of photography at one point while I was there ......... I can't help thinking he should get himself a [Sony NEX5](www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/692507-REG/Sony_NEX5K_B_Al...) a slightly less obtrusive camera very useful for 'No Photography' situations.... well I find it useful myself ..... See above.
My friend who is a big wheel in the art world had warned me she found the whole show slightly without teeth ........ that the shark was yawning and worse she warned me that 'For The Love of God' is not so great in the flesh (or lack of flesh) as it were......... I always find her totally brilliant on all aspects of art ...... so I was sort of expecting to agree ......... and yet I was conflicted..... as I had always thought I liked the diamond skull without ever actually having seen it for real .........
I was seriously braced for disappointment............ instead I found it totally amazing ........ and 'For the love of God' can actually be viewed without charge ....... the rest of the show you have to pay to see ....... so if you are short of cash ....... you should feast your eyes on the $75 million piece of art ....... yeah..... try not to get too done in by the political dichotomy in that situation ....... just look at it as it is...... in my view an amazing mesmerizing creation .........
Cheers Jez XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Some of my pics from the Haworth 1940s weekend. See www.haworth1940s.co.uk/ A brilliant day out – great atmos – especially when the packed street outside started singing ‘we’ll meet again’ along with the lady singing from an outdoor pavilion! Loads of people were dressed up and in-character – i now want to go dressed up next year! Although there was a ‘upsetting’ amount of real-furs adorned around characters necks!
P1280574 - There is a long sad story to all of this. The council along with various local organisations managed to get some lottery funding to re work the bowling green and build a skate park. Now you have to remember most of the councillors are 60 plus. So a bit one sided from me an ex youth worker, but today x years after a million odd quid was spent on a top notch bowling green and club house it's still in use.
Skate park, close three times, why against the advice of specialist, construction engineers which was NOT to build a wooden structure right next to the sea, they did and subsequently is has become unsafe three times since it's construction.
Along with the youth club cuts and in some cases closure, I came only assume that the youth of Ryde and other areas on the Isle of Wight will return to it's poll position on the national legal for the most under age pregnancy's alongside the higher ratings for drug and alcohol abuse in teenagers and pre teens. Additional cost to area in looking after these problems and caring for the results that it will bring. Glad the government is looking after the young with their Duty of Care.........enough, I'll stop now before I get really going

i have no idea how this came out. i wasn't looking at the camera because i was driving. trying to get a shot of a police motorcycle's lights at night. zoomed all the way in & finger on the manual focus button so it wasn't focused at all. the blue came out right though.
Saddlebag support, saddle spanner, GB stainless steel professional toeclips and Lucas milometer. To fit the saddlebag support for a Brooks saddle without bag loops two holes are drilled into the cantle plate and the spring cover pressed back to insert the holding prongs. Very neat, it can be removed when not required and left attached to the saddlebag.
Some Chinese hold to the belief that swimming in frigid water is good for one's health. After helping clear out a section of Hou Hai Lake's ice to create a small area of open water this gentleman dove in and swam for close to five minutes. The temperature in Beijing outside of the water was a balmy 19 degrees fahrenheit...who knows how cold the water was.

An small abandoned building on an empty block which is being used as a carpark. I love the warm yellow of the panels covering the windows and door, and the MOSER graffiti just makes it rather distinctive. It really stands out against the taller building behind it, making 2 interesting layers of rooflines.
Bleep Labs friend Andy Hendrix made a great enclosure for his Jr using a standard plastic project box and banana plugs.
He found that potentiometers could be used between the patch points to change the sound.

Three-bladed propellors, possibly for Dinky aeroplanes – these may be original, although the silver ones have a flatter profile. A large suitcase, possibly around 1:18 scale. Dropside panel from Siku 2517, the rear off a 1978 lorry – probably 1:50 scale, and other bits including a starting handle which looks as if it might be practical. There is also a 1930s style radiator grille and a windscreen and folded hood from a veteran car model. From a box of spare parts which I acquired in January 2024.
The badges were picked up today at a local plant sale (!), the keyring was a recent eBay purchase. Particularly pleased to get the Stanza one, it was one I hadn't got before though I do have a few others in this series.
I have a spare of Yugo badge if anyone wants it! PM me if you do...
