Expedition 68 Flight Engineer and NASA spacewalker Josh Cassada prepares a roll-out solar array for its deployment on the International Space Station's (ISS) Port-4 truss segment as the orbiting lab flew 262 miles above the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Namibia.
Astronauts Frank Rubio and Josh Cassada conducted a spacewalk on Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022, for seven hours and eight minutes to install the new roll-out solar arrays to upgrade the station’s power system. The new ISS Roll-Out Solar Arrays (iROSAs) will increase power generation capability by up to 30%, increasing the station’s total available power from 160 kilowatts to up to 215 kilowatts.

Compton Verney is an award-winning art gallery located in a beautiful 18th century Grade I listed mansion built by Robert Adam. The house is set in over 120 acres of landscaped grounds designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. There was a manor at Compton Verney at least as early as 1150.
Sheffield Park Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed in the early years of the 20th century by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust.
The gardens originally formed part of the estate of the adjacent Sheffield Park House, a gothic country house, which is still in private ownership. It was also firstly owned by the West Family and later by the Soames family until in 1925 the estate was sold by Arthur Granville Soames, who had inherited it from his childless uncle, Arthur Gilstrap Soames.
Sheffield Park as an estate is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In August 1538, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, entertained Henry VIII here. By 1700, the Deer Park had been partially formalised by Lord De La Warr who planted avenues of trees radiating from the house and cleared areas to establish lawns. In the late 1700s, James Wyatt remodelled the house in the fashionable Gothic style and Capability Brown was commissioned to landscape the garden. The original four lakes form the centrepiece. Humphry Repton followed Brown in 1789–1790. In 1796, the estate was sold to John Holroyd, created Baron Sheffield in 1781. It is particularly noted for its plantings of trees selected for autumn colour, including many Black Tupelos.
By 1885, an arboretum was being established, consisting of both exotic and native trees. After Arthur Gilstrap Soames purchased the estate in 1910, he continued large-scale planting. During World War II the house and garden became the headquarters for a Canadian armoured division, and Nissen huts were sited in the garden and woods. The estate was split up and sold in lots in 1953. The National Trust purchased approximately 40 ha in 1954, now up to 80 ha with subsequent additions. It is home to the National Collection of Ghent azaleas.
In 1876 the third Earl of Sheffield laid out a cricket pitch. It was used on 12 May 1884 for the first cricket match between England and Australia. The Australian team won by an innings and 6 runs.
Bowood is a Grade I listed Georgian country house in Wiltshire, England, that has been owned for more than 250 years by the Fitzmaurice family. The house, with interiors by Robert Adam, stands on extensive grounds which include a garden designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown.

At the top of the Roman stairs you come to an ante-chapel and the chapel itself, a lavish 18th-century creation by the 9th Earl. It had previously been a dark and gloomy space apparently, but a new plaster ceiling and much else besides by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, who was also working on the landscape outdoors, brought it into the first style of elegance. This is the panelled arch between the anteroom and the chapel itself, showing the massive thickness of its walls.
Croome Court is a mid-18th century neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D'Abitot, near Pershore in south Worcestershire. The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and were Brown's first landscape design and first major architectural project. Some of the mansion's rooms were designed by Robert Adam.

One of Brown’s major achievements at North Cray was the reshaping of the River Cray to create a ribbon-like lake. He designed the Five Arch Bridge, which was mainly brick and included a weir on its north side. Other Brown bridges at Temple Newsam, Yorkshire and Compton Verney, Warwickshire, were built in stone and more elegant in their design. It is thought that Coventry, who was described by writer and essayist Charles Lamb as “a hoarder rather than a miser”, was keeping a close eye on the budget here.
Brown would have needed all his skills and experience in earth-moving and drainage at North Cray. The Cray is a chalk river with wide, shallow sections of gravel. To create a watertight lining Brown probably used a mixture of wet clay and sand or puddling clay. He may also have been dealing with low water levels here as a result of work at the Foots Cray estate, on the other side of the river. The bridge, weir and two islands gave the lake an unusual 'neck', which looked elegant and maintained the water level.
After putting up an experimental version from the same morning, I thought I would go a bit more traditional with this one.

மாற்றுத்திறனாளி meaning 'Person with alternate capability'
This is one of the powerful and positive word i came across in Tamizh.
The way we express things makes a lot of difference and this word is a good example.
What would you prefer? calling a person 'handicap' or 'person with alternate capability'
A gloriously long beech hedge (Fagus sylvatica) in the National Trust’s Claremont Landscape Garden, just south of Esher in Surrey. Once a sanctuary for the country’s wealthy and elite, this garden and its wonderful Lancelot 'Capability' Brown landscape can now be enjoyed by everyone.
Work on the gardens began around 1715 and within a few years they were described as "the noblest of any in Europe". They were much enjoyed by Queen Victoria, who stayed with her Uncle Leopold at his nearby Claremont mansion, where she delighted in being away from the public eye. The gardens were acquired by the National Trust in 1949.

The beautiful Coach House next to Compton Verney was built to designs by James Gibbs in 1736-43 and converted for residential use in 1984.
Compton Verney in Warwickshire is an award-winning art gallery located in a beautiful 18th century Grade I listed mansion built by Robert Adam. The house is set in over 120 acres of landscaped grounds designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. There was a manor at Compton Verney at least as early as 1150.
As you enter Croome Court, the pathway takes you past the manor's church, St Mary Magdalene. This Grade I listed building was built in 1763 by Capability Brown for the Earl of Coventry. A medieval church nearer the Court was demolished to make way for this church, the interior of which was designed by Robert Adam.
Inside the church members of the the family are intered with very ornate memorials.

The ruins of Roche Abbey (by Maltby Beck), a ruined Cisterian monastery situated near Maltby, in South Yorkshire. The abbey is at the Northern edge of what was once Sherwood forest, and Robin Hood is said to have taken mass there regularly.
Like most other abbeys, it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538, following which the local community despoiled it for timber, stone and lead, as well as the property within. The remains were left to fall to ruin, and the land came into the hands of the Earl of Scarboouh, who emplyed the famous landscape gardener Capability Brown who buried much of it under turf in the late 1700s. There it remained for two centuries until excavated in the 1920s, and is now cared for by English Heritage.

First thing about Primfeed is that you can not use a selected name, you have to use your original SL name so I am under Kayla Woodrunner there, darn it.
I've been on primfeed for about two months now. It's a lot like facebook but only for SL folks and a bit more x-rated if you want it to be. You can set your account to G if you don't want it to be.
I like the gallery section because you can choose whether you want to look at G, M, A, or A+. Also you can choose whether to look at only Residents and not include commercial. You can also choose to look at or not look at AI altered SL pics.
Note on the gallery: you can choose to show any picture you want under your account but you can only put in SL pictures in the gallery. AI pictures that is not obviously SL-based will be taken out. RL pics will be taken out. They really want the gallery
It's new enough that conversations start with new people more often than facebook on your own pictures. And also since I like to find new places to explore, if I choose G for general, Residents and no AI, then the gallery shows me what's left which means a higher number of landscapes so I can find new places and photographers. I also like clicking the no AI when I'm looking at creator ads.
The biggest minus is it's new so it doesn't have group capability.
There also seems to be a high ration of A and A+ pictures if you're into that probably because they have a hard time showing those pics on other social networks.
And if you're into shopping and looking for something new, click commercial on the gallery and you'll see a lot of creators strutting their stuff. Only creators can mark their ads as commercial. So I think bloggers showing their pics under their own name are counted as Residents pictures.
If you decide to give it a whirl, you can find me under Kayla Woodrunner

Note: if you're debating whether or not to do it. One of my friends on Primfeed, after she started her Primfeed account so some of her friends had already found her there, had her account shut down by flickr without warning. Which means she couldn't access her pics suddenly except for the ones she had also posted to Primfeed. Also not so long Snapzilla disappeared without warning taking thousands of pictures with them. Winter was pissed because that was 15 years of history for him and some of those pictures were nowhere else. Machinima.com was bought out and the new owners closed the site so suddenly people lost all their videos. So. I am beginning to think it's necessary to post pictures and videos into more than one social network -- whether it's Flickr and Facebook; Instagram and Tiktok, or Flickr and Primfeed, whatever combination to have a backup place where your stuff is. Because we trust these places and they can be trustworthy for decades but suddenly change for whatever reason and are gone or shut down accounts without warning. It's a pain in the ..... especially if some of those images/videos capture our memories.

Berrington Hall is the former seat of the Cawley family, and is a country house in the neoclassical style. The hall itself is set in what was Capability Brown's final landscape.
The hall is now in the care of the National Trust.
NASA carried out a critical hot fire of the redesigned RS-25 engine April 26 at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, demonstrating the gimbaling, or pivoting, capabilities needed to stabilize a rocket during a launch and flight to space.
Operators at the nation’s largest propulsion test site conducted the first gimbal test of the current RS-25 engine certification series on the Fred Haise Test Stand. The certification series is supporting lead engine contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne as it prepares to produce additional RS-25 engines for future SLS (Space Launch System) flights.
The new production includes engines for future Artemis missions to the Moon, as NASA returns humans to the lunar surface to establish a long-term presence for scientific discovery and to prepare for human missions to Mars.
During a 12-minute (720 seconds) hot fire, operators gimbaled the RS-25 engine using a NASA Stennis-developed system to enable pivoting of the engine, mirroring maneuvers needed during launch and flight of the SLS rocket. The 720-second hot fire marks the longest-duration test of an RS-25 certification engine in the current test series.

60002 "Capability Brown" passing Hartlepool with 6D40, the 14:28 Hendon to Lindsey Petrofina on 2nd August 1995. This flow had run for many years but came to an end sometime in 1997. Taken from a footbridge I remember we were concerned hanging around as the area was not the best place to have camera equipment on show.

Bowood is a grade I listed Georgian country house with interiors by Robert Adam and a garden designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown. It is adjacent to the village of Derry Hill, halfway between Calne and Chippenham in Wiltshire, England. The greater part of the house was demolished in 1956.
One of the first with the new camera system, loving the features but its always easy to adjust to a new way of working. Optical to Electonic viewfinder being one, different processing techniques and colouring.
But the features are pretty solid, the bracketing, high ISO capability. Both change the game for landscape work
The gem of Berrington Hall is the unique walled garden. One segment, the kitchen garden has featured several modern art installations over the past few years and consists of Georgian-inspired herb beds, orchards, vegetable and flower beds. Attached to the kitchen garden is an impressive curved-wall section which is currently being restored by the National Trust after housing a farmyard for the past century. Visitors are welcome to view this space and follow the journey of ‘Capability’ Brown’s final vision brought to light.
The 'Saxon' tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794 in the form of a castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1798–1799. The tower was built on a beacon hill, where beacons were lit on special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered whether a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester — about 22 miles (35 km) away — and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. Indeed, the beacon could be seen clearly.
For some years, the tower became home to the printing press of Sir Thomas Phillipps. By the mid-1870s, it was being rented by C J Stone and Cormell Price, the latter being headmaster of the United Services College at Westward Ho!, and a close friend and confidant of artists William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.....William Morris started his campaign for the preservation of historic monuments whilst staying at the Tower.
One last shot of Fredriksborg Castle, uploaded mostly because I think this panoramic image captures the epic proportions of the Great Hall better than the portrait format shot I uploaded a few days ago.
On a technical note, a lot of these shots were taken at 1600 ISO due to the low light levels. Whilst not terrible quality I think it's fair to say my Nikon D300s is starting to show it's age particularly in relation to it's low light capability. Starting to think it's time to consider an upgrade, either that or buy a faster lens so that I can get a bigger aperture than f4.8 at these super-wide angle focal lengths.

From Wikipedia : "Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style.
After a serious fire in 1859, the castle was rebuilt on the basis of old plans and paintings. Thanks to public support and the brewer J. C. Jacobsen, the building and its apartments were fully restored by 1882 when it was reopened to the public as the Danish Museum of National History. Open throughout the year, the museum contains the largest collection of portrait paintings in Denmark. It also provides visitors with an opportunity to visit several of the castle's state rooms including the restored Valdemar Room and Great Hall as well as the Chapel and the Audience Chamber which were both largely spared by the fire and contain sumptuous decorations."
