The brainchild of Assos founder, Toni Maier Moussa, this cup-and-cone type bottom bracket came with Assos crank sets. Designed to allow for side-to-side chain-line adjustment, the cups, lock rings and dust shield are all made of lightweight alloy. Even the crank bolts were through-drilled to save weight.

Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.

Eclectic elements combine to create a charming entry. A decorative bracket and column support a full height entry. Decorated verge boards, classic trim, and shingle siding make assigning a "style" difficult.

Wollaton Park is a 500 acre historic deer park situated three miles west of Nottingham's city centre. At the heart of the park, standing on a natural hill, is Wollaton Hall. The Hall is a spectacular Elizabethan mansion designed by Robert Smythson and built by Sir Francis Willoughby between 1580 and 1588. Close to the Hall are the Formal Gardens. Within these is The Camellia House the oldest cast iron glasshouse in Europe. In the Park herds of Red and Fallow Deer roam.

Very old bracket fungus on a very old tree, in the woods at Sheringham, North Norfolk. Dairy Milk Chocolate?
The brackets were painted several times. One will be set aside to use in the display. The other 19 will be restored and placed back on the building.
One of many machine mounts on the wash floor of the old Centennial Mill. The mill processed copper-bearing rock from the Centennial Mine by a series of mechanical processes: stamps, vibrating tables, rotating wash boards, and so on. Today, only the overgrown cement floor is left.

The Impact umbrella bracket (and the other copies) has a fatal flaw in it's design-- their tightening nob is in line with the tilt head, and the nob is is taller than the top of the bracket, so that mounting anything bigger than the the diameter of the bracket will have the same problem, it can not be tight down. Instead of modify it, I replace it with the Manfretto metal one.
Cool thing about the Manfretto bracket is that it's male stud has a hole in it, and the top tightening handle bar can be used to mount the stud into places very securely. But there's a problem with the placement of that stud hole. Looking through the handle bar hole, I can see half the stud hole showing, making me think twice before cranking the handle bar really tight.
To solve the problem, I made a new mounting stud myself. Using a 1/4 steel pipe, I drill a hole at a lower position, and tap and install a 3/8 stud on top.

Bolts on to the two 1"BSF chassis attached towing brackets to give one central tow point and to spread any stresses. The bolts are long and have spacer collars which I have put under the bolt heads as i didn't need it further away from the panels as I had already put extensions in each of the towing brackets.
This picture shows the new antenna bracket with the mast inserted, along with my BAL leveler strapped to the backside of my spare tire, and my blue tanks strapped to my battery box. I'm trying to take the advice of keeping the outside stuff outside as much as possible.
Holy Trinity, Teigh, Rutland
I was nearing the most westerly point of my quest to visit all the Rutland churches between and including its most easterly and westerly points of Essendine and Whissendine. I cycled on from Market Overton, and the road fell steeply down into the vale to the west of the church, and already I could see the tall tower of the next church a mile or so off below. I wound down into the small village of Teigh, close to the Leicestershire border, a refreshingly rural and agricultural place after the last few villages. I could see the church, but for a moment it was hard to see how to get to it until I found the promisingly named Church Lane, at the end of which was Holy Trinity church.
This is an extraordinary church, something not immediately apparent from outside except that there are no north and south doors. The body of the church has those funny pretty battlements beloved of the Strawberry Hill Gothick of the late 18th Century. These are the clue to what we will find inside, for the church was demolished and rebuilt in a singular style all apart from its tower in the 1780s. When the Victorians came along, they didn't think much of the round-headed Georgian windows, and so replaced them with the Dec-style windows we see today.
The entrance is from the west, and you step from the churchyard into a circular room beneath the tower, which prefigures what is to come. As I entered, two couples of older people were leaving, strikingly dressed, like very posh people usually are, as if Lord Peter Wimsey had stepped freshly out of Jermyn Street. There was a slight shock of recognition, although for a moment I couldn't place them. One of the ladies was signing the visitors book. The man from the other couple asked her an indistinct question, the gist of which became immediately apparent when she replied 'it is pronounced Tee, dear.' They left, and I went in. Looking at the visitors book, I saw that it had just been signed by the Countess of ___________ . I'm sorry, but I'm much too polite to reveal who she was, but suffice to say that she and her husband are at the very highest rung of the English aristocracy. It was her husband who had held out the door for me, and it's not often you have a door held open for you by a peer of the realm.
Anyway, the interior of the church is remarkable. It was rebuilt in the style of a large college chapel with banked seating facing inwards to the central gangway. The church is full of light from the lightly patterned glass windows, and you look east to a simple sanctuary, the east window flanked by decalogue boards. There is no pulpit or lectern, and the reason for this becomes obvious when you look back to the west, for either side of the entrance are twin lectern boxes, and above them all an ornate pulpit, facing east, all done in 18th Century painted patterning. It is rather wonderful. As Pevsner says in a rare flight of fancy, the three boxes give one an irresistible hope that at any moment preacher and readers might pop out like the little figures in a weather house. There are two fonts, one an unusual bracket font, and the other a crude Victorian replacement which was apparently carved by the vicar, who must have despaired of ever re-sacramentalising Teigh church.
Teigh is one of the Thankful Villages, so named by Arthur Mee, in recognition of the fact that all the boys they sent to the First World War came back again. There are only about forty such villages out of a total of more than ten thousand in England, so they do indeed have plenty to be thankful about. It is a strange irony that the most thankful village of all, the one that sent the most boys and got them all back, is Upper Slaughter in Gloucestershire. A plaque here at Teigh in the style of a war memorial records the fact that nobody was lost.
Another memory of the First World War is in the churchyard, a headstone to a man who died in 1984 at the age of 68. Thus, he was born in 1916, and this explains why he was given the middle name Verdun. I had seen something similar at Little Blakenham in Suffolk earlier in the year, a 1916 baby christened with the middle names Douglas Haig. Indeed, one of my great-aunts, also born in 1916, was given the Christian name Salonika in memory of where her father had survived the War, and one of my great-uncles had a posthumous daughter who was christened St Eloi to remember where he was killed, so it must have been a common thing.
I now had to make a decision. Whissendine was next. It was about three miles round by road, but there was a track across the fields marked on the OS map which was probably not much more than two miles. It was designated a public footpath, but was lined as if to show it was suitable for vehicles. I decided to take the chance. I found the Teigh end of it, which had a sign saying no motor vehicles except farm vehicles, which looked promising. It led through a farmyard and then wound gently downhill, but very soon the concrete path became a rutted track, churned up by tractor wheels and dried in the sun. I kept a slow, steady path helped by rolling downhill, but the further I got, and the more the track deteriorated, the harder I knew it would be to get back if anything went wrong. The thing was, the track crossed the Leicester to Peterborough railway line, at what on my map was marked as a level crossing, but my map was almost twenty years old. What if the crossing was closed? What would I do then? At the very least I would have to push my bike more than a mile mostly uphill to get back to Teigh. The track became rougher and narrower. The tractor ruts turned off into a field, and now it was only a muddy pathway through the trees, no more than a metre wide. At last, I reached the railway line, thanking God that the level crossing was still in existence, albeit with just a narrow clapgate. There was barely room for my bike, and no vehicle could have got any further. On the other side, praise be, it was a metalled road, and after about half a mile I reached the top road and the village of Whissendine.

Quick trip to Lydford Gorge today. As son as I saw these fungi, I knew they'd be my 365.
Towing bracket "removed" from Stewarts ERF - It was the incorrect bracket, and "held on" with inadequate and incorrect bolts - note 3 of the 6 have bent following a short "straight Bar" journey.

A common kind of fungus, Turkey Tail I think, found in ancient woodland, in this case, Hillhouse Wood, Essex
Exposure bracketing is taking a series of varying exposures in order to ensure obtaining a correct exposure. The typical exposure bracketing method is to take one photo at the recommended metered exposure, a second photo of the same subject at a higher exposure, and a third photo of the same subject at a lower exposure.
The famous photographer and editor of Life magazine, Margaret Bourke-White, bracketed by setting her shutter speed to 1/100th of a second and making an exposure at each full stop from f/4 to f/22. (Note: based on the equipment she was using at the time, her actual exposures were from f/4.5 to f/22).
When shooting color negatives and/or B&W negative film, my bracketing personal preferences are:
Metered exposure, 2 stops over, and 2 stops under
or
Metered exposure, 2 stops over, and 1 stop under
When shooting color transparency (slide) film, my bracketing personal preferences are:
Metered exposure, 1 stop over, and 1 stop under
or
Metered exposure, ½ stop over, and ½ stop under
or
Metered exposure and one stop over
(I eliminated the one-stop under because I rarely used it).
The minimum bracketing features I expect from my digital cameras are the same as what I can do with my film cameras. However, since digital cameras easily use ISO to alter exposure, I expect much more from my digital cameras.
In addition to the beauty of mushrooms, fungi provide a critical part of nature's continuous rebirth: fungi recycle dead organic matter into useful nutrients. Sometimes the fungus doesn't wait for the biomatter to die, in which case the fungus is called a parasite. Many plants, however, are dependent on the help of a fungus to get their own nutrients, living in a symbiotic relationship called a mycorrhizal association.
Bracket fungi include the tough, woody, shelf-like growths on the trunks of dead trees. Some species are serious parasites of living trees. The upper side often shows concentric striations that represent successive years of growth. Ages of 50-70 years have been recorded for some species. The lower surface is composed of numerous minute pores through which astronomical numbers of spores are released.
This particularly nice bracket fungus specimen was growing along the Dowagiac River.
Photographed using a Sony A7R using a Nikkor 135mm f/4 bellows lens on a Nikokr PB-4 bellows. I used the tilt capability of the bellows to maintain depth of field.
Went a bit of a fungus expedition near Pickering, came up with quite a collection. All on the Nikon D3 where the ISO versatility helps in the rather dark condityions and the trust5 manual 55mm f3.5 Ai Nikkor
fyi: even if we are ranked 16th (which is indeed rare), I would always put UNC as the champion. its in my dna. so really i am just crystal-ballin how they get there, and the carnage that surrounds them.
