January 2006 - No wonder why some people get headaches at work.
I keep general comments at my eJournal and images.
A weekend spent in French Prison was not what we had planned!

St John the Baptist, Bere Regis, Dorset
Built in the 15th century the nave roof is said to have been a gift from Cardinal Morton whos face is the largest boss on the roof.
It is made of entirley from oak, then painted and gilded and features the full length figures of the twelves apostles. There is also the shiled of arms for Cardinal Morton plus the Tudor Rose and a golden cord symbolising the marriage between henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York in 1486.
Cardinal John Morton was born in the Parish of Bere Regis in c.1420.
He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford.
In 1477 he was sent by Edward IV to the French court as ambassador.
In 1478 he was made Archdeacon of Leicester and in 1479 Bishop of Ely.
From 1472-9 he was Master of the Rolls.
Although he was imprisoned in Brecknock Castle by the Tudors at the end of The War of the Roses, Henry VII quickly made him Archbishop of Canterbury in 1486, he was then elevated to Cardinalate in 1598.
He was also made Lord chancellor in 1487 and was credited with 'Mortons Fork', where by no one was exempt from tax.
He built the 'old palace' at Hatfield House and was the mentor to the young Thomas More.
He died at Knole House, Kent on 15 Sept 1500.
He was buried as requesdted in the central crypt of the Virgin Mary at Canterbury CAthedral, where there is also a monument to him bearing his effigy.
In conjunction with this he was erected a Chantry chapel in Bere Regis but as this was eneglected and damaged during the dissolutions it is now a quiet side chapel.
As I tried to sweet-talk the manager into letting me run a photography workshop, I looked around and found the ceiling to be rather nice

In the historic Minneapolis Grain Exchange building. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Having painted the chancel ceiling in September 1859-1860, Mildred Holland wife of the rector began the painting of the nave from 1863-1866 The materials cost £247.19s.7d with £16.7s6d for 225 books of gold leaf and £72 for colours, financed by the Hollands. She was advised by E L Blackburne FSA an authority on medieval decoration.
The angels are perhaps too perfect to be original, the tradesman's account of 1865 says "Mr Spall's extras included 8 angles with expanded wings, chancel £12" "B W Spall, time and materials to preparing and fixing 10 angels £80" - A small doubt here because the account does not actually say "making" them
Worcester Union Station is an amazing train station that is newly restored that I got dropped off by Amtrak. Since I arrived at the station very late since my train was delayed 2 hours, I couldn't take any photos of that night. I came back to the station a week later to take photos of this amazing station.
While I was here I had to be very careful because security guards were crawling all over this station and I heard they don't like photographers taking pictures of this station. So I decided to take many pictures of the station but I had to be very careful because I didn't want to get caught by security.
The Sistine Chapel ceiling (Italian: Volta della Cappella Sistina), painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is a cornerstone work of High Renaissance art. The ceiling is that of the Sistine Chapel, the large papal chapel built within the Vatican between 1477 and 1480 by Pope Sixtus IV, for whom the chapel is named. It was painted at the commission of Pope Julius II. The chapel is the location for papal conclaves and many other important services.
