USYD - Graffiti Tunnel
Graffiti has existed for a long time now ever since the ancient times since the Greeks and The Romans. Today we use this as a tool to communicate political or social issues which we like to project. Spray painting walls, floors and cielings whatever holds spray paint. Even if its punishable by law. These art forms, which some consider mere vandalism do sometimes captivate people. Graffiti has evolved into today's Pop culure and permeated itself...

Rome, Italy. Stairwell with skylight in an old renaissance building.
This picture has been shot with my Chinon film camera on 35mm film, developed and scanned to my computer. ISO 1600.
The village or small Hamlet sits 3 miles to Spilsby's West, North of Boston. The village is a historical site, probably for it's main attraction being it's ruined 13th-Century Castle.
The church sits opposite the Castle grounds, it's of mid-14th-Century construction. This building too suffered in the Civil War period after the Castle was sieged by Oliver Cromwell's men, it was later restored to former glories in the Victorian period.

Results of a photoshoot from Yesterday. Took some meditative time yesterday post-shoot to cool down, relax and edit. It's been a while since I've had the chance to sit down and get some nice relaxing editing down...
The shoot was a pretty wild one and we're going to have an amazing video prepared for you guys reasonably soon (though it might be ready only after we've begun our eurotrip to be honest!)
This shoot was thrown together in less than two weeks. Suntory, a male stripper, sent me a short facebook message asking me what my rates were. I told him that I couldn't tell him a fixed rate unless I had a better idea of what he was looking for. He replied saying that he wanted photos of himself, dehydrated, hanging from chains with tar pouring down on him. My reply? Sounds AMAZING, I'll do it for free. Why? Because I would much rather someone worry about paying for the most awesome photoshoot ever than paying for my rate.
We took his budget and re-invested it straight into the photoshoot. We had a custom metal bar built with welded hooks that could support over a 1000 pounds of massive metal chains we rented from a traction-chain warehouse. We rented out a friend's loft for the afternoon and put the whole thing together in about 3 gruesome hours of hard work (you try hanging 200 pound chains from an 18 foot high ladder!)
Jessica Renahan, an amazing makeup artist who I collaborate with regularly put together a custom mixture of oil paint, charcol and vasoline that we buttered onto our heroically dehydrated stripper. Although we did encounter some technical diffculties here and there we did end up with some pretty amazing stuff.
Be sure to check back for the BTS video. We hung a GoPro from the cieling with the help of some Nasty Clamps to capture some pretty amazing overhead footages (we hope) !

Doesn't look like much outside but, on the interior the rotten cieling/roof have been replaced as have the wood foundation beams, and most the floor.
final floor, electric and windows are next. as is insulsting it so I can use it year round.
plodding along...
An internal view of the driver's cab. To the left of the picture: The grey box with the black knobs is a 'Bell-Punch Controls' stage-changer for the ticket machine; probably not the best place to situate it. The black panel next to that is the control unit for altering the elctronic destination. Then above, inside the open appature in the cieling is the radio set, with the hand held reciever clipped to the ceiling. The open panel reveals the fuse re-sets and the passenger bell.
When the darkness comes, and silent reigns... sometimes all we can do is just hold on.

Sister shot of my photoshoot with stripper Suntory. We actually took the 20 foot backdrop and TAPED it to the roof to make this shot happen haha. Since it wasn't one of those fancy thick ones, I had a fantastically fun time actually darkening each individual speck between chains to make the whole shot come out solid black. What a pain :P
Turns out I'm leaving in less than 3 days now for my insane europe tour and I have so many photos to barrel through and edit... videos to update... not to mention packing, organizing... !!
My mind is exploding with the amount of stuff that needs to be accomplished!!

The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan pronunciation: [səˈɣɾaðə fəˈmiɫiə]; English: Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family), is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica, as distinct from a cathedral which must be the seat of a bishop. Construction of Sagrada Família had commenced in 1882, Gaudí became involved in 1883,taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926 less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly, as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the midpoint in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death.
Captured this one in a single frame. Speelight camera left above the window bounced off WC joint, second one is in the next room in the WWC joint on the left, just out of sight (if you look closely you'll see some of the flash on the ceiling), two bounced off the cieling in the main kitchen/living area, on the right side of the room. This house was lovely and I wish it was furnished. CC always appreciated.

The 12 Apostles Roof at Ely Cathedral
The painted cieling deserves a closer look to relish its beauty. All Cathedrals in themselves,and I've seen many, throw a sense f beauty from the inside .Construction is one thing, but this roof is equal to most I have seen in the Country-possibly in the World.
Take time if you would,and open up the picture to get a closer look at the painted ceiling.
Strobist:
Ambient is the key light (skylight at top). three strobes triggered via Cactus V4s. One gridded and shot through chandelier for shadow/pattern, one out of frame to and right of model - let her and the cieling nicely, and one snooted and pointed up from floor at model's face and upper torso. I cannot remember the settings on each.

This was the final open church we found during the Heritage Weekend. Stone is situated overlooking the Thames and the Dartford crossing. However the village looked in ancient times, the church is now found at the dead end of an 80s housing estate, made even more difficult by the local youths turning the signposts the wrong way round.
Once we arrived, we found it to be a glorious church, and inside we received a warm welcome, the offer of more coffee and cake and a potential tour of the tower which we failed to take up.
The beauty of this church shows how much we miss as we inch over the Dartford crossing, which is easily visible from Queen Elizabeth II bridge.

An impressive church in a depressing location, on the very edge of a massive chalk quarry. The lavish thirteenth-century work was not completed during the middle ages, and was only finished by George Edmund Street who carried out a scholarly restoration in 1859. It is now known that the stonemasons who worked here in the thirteenth century were the same that had worked at Westminster Abbey. There is much emphasis on Purbeck marble shafting and carved stonework, especially in the chancel where the twenty spandrels of the wall arcading are covered in decorative work. One of the designs is of a lizard (with a handsome row of teeth) eating a leaf. The chancel is vaulted in stone, the result of Street's restoration. The pulpit was carved by Earp (1860) and the east window, of the same date, is by Wailes. There is an excellent brass to John Lambarde, Rector (d. 1408), showing him in his vestments. A later hanging monument to George Sharp (d. 1810) is by R. Watson, a local stonemason from Dartford.

STONE NEAR DARTFORD.
NORTH eastward from Darent lies Stone, which takes its name from the stony situation of it; Stane in Saxon signifying a stone. It is called in the Textus Roffensis, Stantune and Stanes; and in the survey of Domesday, Estanes.
This parish contains about 2700 acres of land, of which 250 are wood, and about 320 marshland. It is about seventeen miles from London, and two from Dartford; the high London road crosses it. At a small distance northward from which is the village, situated, as well as the church, on the side of a hill, which rises from the bank of the Thames; westward from hence, about a half a mile, is the parsonage, and below it the marshes, bounded by the river. The parish consists of continued hill and dale, the views of the Thames, and the opposite county of Essex, are beautiful as you pass the high road, where is the hamlet of Horns-cross. The soil is a gravel, and not far from hence, on the northern side of it, is a great range of chalk pits, and wharss on the bank of the river for the exportation of it. Hence the ground rises, having Stone castle about two fields from it, the prospects from which over the river are beautiful; behind which it stretches over hill and dale a long way southward, over a good strong soil of land in general. The great tract of woodland which reaches almost to Greenstreet-green, adjoining to Darent, along the northern boundary of these woods, runs the antient Roman road to Rochester, and not far from it the two small hamlets of Bean and Stonewood. On the hill above Greenstreet-green, among the woods, are the remains of a camp and fortifications, thrown up in antient times, but now so overgrown with wood and rubbish, as to be impenetrable.
Near the south-east boundary of this parish, at half a mile up the road leading from Greenstreet-green to Betsham, on the left hand side of the short hill there, is Cockleshell-bank, so called from the great number of those shells there observable; just before you come to the pond on the same side, about three feet below the top of the bank, they appear very visible, lying close and thick together, of a pure white, and for the most part whole, forming a stratum of a foot in depth. As they are washed down the banks by rains and frosts, they become rotten and discoloured by the earth, which is a kind of reddish loam, and crumble into small pieces. The stratum appears to have extended to the opposite bank by the fragments of shells, likewise on that side, although not so visible by the deep road intersecting it. These bivalve shells are in depth about three-fourths of an inch, and the same in breadth, with rays running transversely very small and close, contrary to those of the common cockle, which are longitudinal and deep surrowed. In the Custumale Roff. p. 254, is inserted a letter from Dr. John Latham, F. R. S. author of the General Synopsis of Birds, and other curious subjects, concerning these shells, and another stratum of the turbinated kind, at a small distance from the other. A specimen of the latter from his museum is inserted in the above book.
Strata of shells appear to run at some distance from the places before mentioned, and to extend towards Greenhithe, for in the fields, behind the large farmhouse in this parish, on the north side of Greenstreetgreen, belonging to Sir John Dyke, according to information, the plough turns up a great quantity of their fragments. In the back yard belonging to a house on the south side of the green, was a large mass of stone of some hundred weight, full of shells, which was brought from a field above that house, and was made use of as a bridge, or stepway in the yard. Strata of these marine exuviæ, have been observed in several other places, as in some ground belonging to the manor of Baldwins, in Dartford, and at Bexley, in digging a well at Mr. Cope's seat at Bridgen, where, at the depth of twenty feet, they came to a stratum of shells, chiefly of the turbinated kind, which continued about two feet in depth, and then disappeared, before they got to the springs; specimens too of the like kind have been frequently met with down Park-hill, by the woodside, towards Gadbridge. (fn. 1)
There is a fair held in the village of Stone on Ascension-day, for pedlary, &c. Matthew Paris, in his History of England, p. 725, relates a strange story of a miracle which happened in this parish in 1252, of a boy, named William Crul, who, at two years old, cured all diseases, by making the sign of the cross upon the patients who flocked to him on this account, from all the neighbouring parts, not long after which he died.
ETHELRED, king of England, in the year 995, gave Stantune and Litlebroc to the church of St. Andrew, and Godwyn then bishop of Rochester. (fn. 2)
After the conquest, this place, as well as many other possessions belonging to the church of Rochester, were seized on by Odo, bishop of Baieux, the king's halfbrother; but he did not enjoy them long, for archbishop Lansranc recovered them again in a solemn assembly of the whole county, held on this occasion, by the king's command, in 1076, at Pinenden-heath.
The archbishop having thus recovered this place, with the church belonging to it, and Littlebroc, out of Odo's hands, immediately restored them to bishop Gundulph, and the church of St. Andrew; which gift was confirmed by archbishop Anselm, in 1101, as it was afterwards by several of his successors. (fn. 3)
In the record of Domesday, Stone is thus described, under the title of the land of the bishop of Rochester:
The bishop of Rochester holds Estanes. In the time of king Edward the Confessor it was taxed at 6 sulings, and now at 4 sulings. The arable land is 11 carucates. In demesne there are 2, and 20 villeins, with 12 borderers, having 11 carucates. There is a church, and 4 servants, and 72 acres of meadow, and one mill of 6 shillings and 8 pence, and 1 fishery of 3 shillings and 4 pence. Wood for the pannage of 60 hogs. In the time of king Edward, and afterwards, it was worth 13 pounds, and now 16 pounds, and yet it pays 20 pounds and 1 ounce of gold and 1 marc. Richard de Tunbridge holds of this manor as much wood as is worth 15 shillings.
In the same book, Eduuard de Estan is said to have the liberties of sac and soc in the laths of Sutton and Aylesford.
In an antient valuation made of the manors of the bishop of Rochester, by inquisition in the reign of king Henry III. the manor of Stone was estimated to contain two hundred and thirty-six acres of arable land, each worth three-pence; fourteen acres in the marsh, worth six-pence an acre; the mill there ten shillings per annum; and the annual rents to amount to 20l. 12s. (fn. 4) And in another, taken at the latter end of that reign, on the oaths of Thomas de Mepeham, sacrist of the church of Rochester, and others, concerning the manors appropriated to the bishop of Rochester's table, it appeared, that there were two ploughs in this manor, though there were not in reality two plough lands in it; (fn. 5) for though they were generally estimated as such, yet there was not so much arable land within the manor, as each carucate, or plough-land ought to contain, ac cording to the custom of this part of the country; one hundred and eighty acres. That they were worth, with the marsh and pasture, sixty-six shillings and eight-pence yearly; that the annual rent, in money, and in hens, eggs, plough-shares, wood, and in the stream, was worth 26l. 13s. 7½d. and that there was one mill there, which paid forty shillings per annum.
In the 15th year of king Edward I. this manor, with the hamlet here, was taxed at 33l. 6s. 8d. and in the 33d of king Henry III. at the same. (fn. 6)
¶The bishops of Rochester frequently rested here on their journeys to and from London. Bishop Gilbert de Glanvill, who came to the see in 1185, rebuilt the house and buildings, which had been burnt down. Bishop Hamo de Heth, when he was here in 1333, gave orders for the building a new wall against the Thames; and in 1337, he repaired the buildings of this manor, at a great expence. (fn. 7) In their successors, bishops of Rochester, this manor has continued ever since, being at this time part of the possessions of the right reverend the bishop of this diocese. (fn. 8)
The manor-house is situated near the church-yard. It has long been inhabited by the farmer of the demesne lands, the only remains of the antient mansion, which seems never to have been dignified with the name of a palace, is the great chimney in the centre of the present building; lord Romney is the present possessor of it.
LITTLEBROOKE is a manor and hamlet in this parish, which, in antient charters, is stiled Littlebroc, and Lyttanbroce. It was once an appendage to the manor of Stone, as has been mentioned above, and different lands were given in it, at times, to the church of Rochester. (fn. 9) King Ethelred's gift to that church seems to have consisted of one carucate or hyde of land.
Charities.
JOHN BOKLAND gave 13s. 4d. payable yearly out of certain marsh land, to the poor of this parish for ever. (fn. 19)
JOHN LAKE gave by will, in 1657, to be distributed among day labourers, housekeepers, and poor people, inhabitants, a rent charge, out of lands in this parish, lately vested in John Amherst, esq. of the annual produce of 5l.
Dr. THOMAS PLUME gave by will, in 1704, to be distributed among the poor of this parish, a rent charge out of lands in it, vested in the trustees of the Stone castle charity estate, of the annual produce of 5l.
ANNE BOSSE gave by will, in 1740, to the like purpose, a rent charge, out of lands, in Swanscombe, vested in the heirs of Bonham Hayes, esq. of the annual produce of 1l.
STONE is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese and deanry of Rochester. The church is dedicated to St. Mary, and is a beautiful structure, consisting of a nave, with two side isles and a chancel; it is spacious and lofty, the windows large and regular, and for symmetry and proportion, it may justly be esteemed the finest piece of Gothic architecture in the diocese. It has a large square tower at the west end of it, in which hang five bells. It had formerly a spire steeple on it, which was so far damaged by lightning, in 1638, that is was taken down. The chancel has a double roof, and though now of great height, seems once to have been still higher; it is ornamented on both sides with antient stalls, curiously carved, and is adorned, as well as the church, with pilasters of brown marble. The whole has been lately, at a great expence, new cieled, and the different parts of it repaired and ornamented. At the east end of the north side was once a handsome vestry, which has been long since in ruins. The north door is curiously wrought with zig-zag ornaments and mouldings. Adjoining to the church was a beautiful chapel, built by Sir John Wiltshire, of Stone-place, which has lain in ruins for upwards of seventy years; about which time, a large passage was broke, through the midst of the pavement, into the vault underneath, wherein were the remains of the coffins of Sir John Wiltshire and his lady, with the bones scattered about. Their monument, which was most costly and curious, was erected against the north wall of it, near the east end.
¶In this church, among other monuments and inscriptions, are the following: In the chancel, a mural monument for Rob. Talbot, A. M. rector of this parish, and Anne his wife, daughter of John Lynch, esq. of Groves, in this county, and Mary their daughter; Robert Talbot died May 12, 1754, æt. 59; arms, gules, a lion' rampant or, impaling Lynch. On a grave stone, a brass plate, and inscription in black letter, for Wm. Carew, esq. free of the Drapers company; he had eight children by Anne his wife, obt. 1588; at the corners of the stone were four shields of arms, in brass, the 1st is lost, which was Carew, three lions passant in pale; the 2d Chapman, parted per chevron, argent and gules, a crescent counterchanged. On a gravestone in the middle, before the steps, is a brass plate of curious work, representing a cross flory, mounted on four steps, in the centre of the flower is the figure of a priest, with a label in his mouth, and inscription round the bordure of the flower, on the body of the cross and steps, an inscription for John Lumbarde, rector of Stone, obt. March 12th, 1408; on each side was a shield of arms, now lost. On a grave stone, next the former, on the north side, is a brass plate, with the figure of a priest, as large as life, at half length; above him, two shields with a lion rampant; the inscription gone, but Weever has recorded it for John Sorewell, rector of this church, who died Dec. 30, 1439. On another, adjoining, is a brass plate, and inscription, for Anne Carew, widow, late of Stone castle, obt. 1599; above is a shield of arms, Carew in chief, a martlet charged with another, as a difference, for a fourth brother of the fourth house, impaling Chapman. Over the door of the chapel, on the north side, is a mural monument, with the figures of a man and his wife, kneeling at double desks, with books open, behind him are two sons, behind her are eight daughters, and beneath an inscription for Robert Chapman, esq. of London, merchant adventurer, and free of the Drapers company; he died at Stone castle, 1574, æt. 65; he married first dame Wynifred, and had by her ten children; and 2dly dame Ellyn; above are the arms of Chapman as above, Chapman impaling quarterly, 1st and 4th, on a bend ingrailed three . . . . . . . . 2d and 3d, a moor's head couped, between three fleurs de lis; 3d as the former, in a lozenge; the colours of them are gone. On a grave stone, near the door of the chapel, is a brass plate, and inscription in black letter, for Rob. Chapman, esq. owner of Stone castle above mentioned, who died in 1574; at the corners of the stone are four shields, 1st Chapman, 2d arms of the merchant adventurers, 3d the Drapers company, 4th Chapman, impaling quarterly, as on the monument. On a grave stone is an inscription for William Carew, gent. eldest son of William Carew, esq. obt. 1625, being owner of Stone castle; above, the arms of Carew. In Weever's time were the following memorials, on brass plates, but since destroyed. One for Rich. Bontfant, mercer of London, owner of Stone castle, obt. 1459; another for Matilda, wife of Wm. Laken, sergeant-at-law, obt. 1408, and Joane her daughter, who died the same year; and another for Roger Payname, obt. 14..... another for Wm. Banknot and Anne his wife, ann. 1400. In the chapel, now in ruins, as mentioned above, there still remains against the north side, the fine altar tomb of the founder of it, under an arch of stone, richly ardorned with Gothic work, on the front of which are three shields of arms, 1st parted per chevron, eight crosses formee, 2d as before, impaling a bend between two mullets of six points, within a bordure nebulee; third as the impaled coat; on the tomb was a brass plate, with the figure of a man, with a label in his mouth, now lost, as well as the inscription, which, as Weever has preserved it, was for Sir John Wiltshire, and Margaret his wife; he died 1526. (fn. 20) Thomas, sixth son of Thomas lord Berkeley, anno 26 Henry VIII. lies buried in this church. (fn. 21)
This church, being an appendage to the manor, it was given, as has been mentioned above, in 925, to bishop Godwin, and the church of Rochester, since which it has remained to this time part of the possessions of that see.
In the 15th year of king Edward I. the church of Stone was valued at thirty marcs, and the vicarage at seven marcs. (fn. 22)
By virtue of a commission of enquiry, issuing out of chancery, it was returned, that Stone was a parsonage, having a good house, and eight acres of glebe land, worth in the whole 170l. per annum; that one master Thomas Martyn enjoyed it, as a sequestration of Mr. Richard Chase, clerk. (fn. 23) It is valued in the king's books at 26l. 10s. and the yearly tenths at 2l. 13s. (fn. 24)
John Boulman, by his will, devised his lands, called Chaundlers, containing eleven acres and a half, and the profits of it, to the parish church of Stone for ever.
I took this on my recent trip to Vegas. Its the ceiling in the Bellagio's Lobby. I love the colors in this.

Virovitica. (Sa slikom.)
Virovitica, Sesta rimska, inače Verucia, Veroeza, Verevzha. Werowitz, Werwetitz, Weröwitz pisana i nazvana, mjesto je u povjesti našoj dosta važno. Za Rimljana ležaše na cesti, koja no Petovium (Ptuj) sa Mursom (Osiek) spajaše. U okolici nadjeno je Vespasianovih novaca, a jedan kamen ležao je dugo pod humkom vlastelinskoga grada na iztoku ; neznam kud je dospio. Neima dvojbe, da su i u ono vrieme putujuće rimske čete ovdje boravljale , buduć mjesto, na pol puta izmedju spomenutih gradova, dobru sgodu za odmor davaše.
Za vrieme ugarskih kraljeva bijaše Virovitica "arxreginalis" ; u njoj čini 1242. kralj Bela IV. Zagreb slobodnim gradom. Tom sgodom utemelji on ovdje, kako vele, samostan dominikanski, koga 1553. Turci razvališe. Temeljni zidovi toga samostana bijahu još pred 40 godina u vrtu Cindrićevu izmedju stare vojarne i gostione, nu kad se cesta gradila, bude kamenje i opeka povadjena , te za cestu upotriebljena. Godine 1270-1272, dakle za kraljevanja Stjepana. V. kovahu se u Virovitici novci jedino za Hrvatsku i Slavoniju , tako zvani „zagrebački denari", kojih 200 vriediše 5 pjeneza ili 1 marku, t. j. 4 for. ugarska. Novce kovahu poduzetnici uz dobre kamate. Tako iznajmi 1348 . Jakov, sin Ulfarda gričkoga (zagrebačkoga) od kralja Ljudevita 1. pjenezarstvo ciele Slavonije (ovamo se pribrajaše i liep komad Hrvatske Savi na sjeveru) za 300 maraka, mogaše dakle za kovane svoje novce odredjene postotke nametati i pobirati. Nedvojbeno, da je znao taj Manihejac kao i drugi njegove vrsti mastno računati i bolje bditi, da se krivi novci nekuju, nego li ikoj policista. U to vrieme bijaše Virovitica vlastničtvo kraljevskoga dvorskoga nadvratara Mirka Marczalya: njemu pripadaše grad i okolica već od godine 1445. Tvrdjava bila već znatno razširena i za gradjanskoga rata, pod vladanjem Sibinjanina Janka buknuloga, povećana. Sabor doduše peštanski odredi god. 1445, da se pod kaznu veleizdajstva sve u to vrieme podignute tvrdjave opet urušiti imadu, ali dozvoli ujedno, da se osim onih na Savi i oko Požege proti Osmanlijam sagradjenih takodjer i virovitička ostaviti može. Gospodar joj Marczaly pogibe kao j unak na Kosovu 19. listopada 1448. Čini se, da joj tada bio kastelanom Banfy. Ovaj ju učvrsti sa četiri veoma jake kule i dvoje vrata.
Medju uglednimi plemići slavonskimi nalazimo na saboru budirnskom god. ]447, 14. rujna osim Pavla Cerničkoga, Ladislava plem. Lezana, Nikole pl. Lanice, Ivana pl. Lakovleca iz požeške, nadalje Fabijana pl. Filgevara, Ladislava de Bezence i Nikole Deaka iz vukovarske, jošte takodjer i Vida te Osvalda Virovitičkoga iz virovitičke županije."
Ista županija imaše osim danaka, što se redovito uplaćivahu te jedno vrieme , osobito za . kralja Žige po Izraelićanih utjerivahu, jošte u slučaju rata 900 momaka na noge staviti i naoružati. 400 do 900 vojnika bijahu jedna banderija, Plaće dobivaše svaki konjanik jedan forint ili 28 groši, a pješak 13 groši na tjedan. Tako bar za kralja Ladislava po cieloj ugarskoj državi, dakle i po sriemskoj, požeškoj i virovitičkoj županiji, koje se pribrajahu Ugarskoj.
Dok je bio Armin grof Celjski "prorex" god. 1405 do 1435, vladaše on neograničeno ujedno kao prorex ciele Slavonije cielom tom zemljom, dakle i samim gradom Viroviticom. Armin i sin mu Ulrik, u zlobi, okrutnosti i nemoralnosti otcu svomu ne samo ravan nego veći od njega, tlačili su narod strahovito. Oti otimači stekoše silno bogatstvo; kamo dodjoše, zadavahu strah i trepet. Sigurno su tada takodjer i u tamnici virovitičkoj gdje-koji, ma i nedužni, stenjali u verigah, što no jim plemeniti nasilnici nametnuše. Zlotvora Ulrika ubiše neki poštenjaci, kojim je svojimi spletkanii o glavi radio, god. 1456, 11 studenoga u Beogradu. Njim izgubi sva zemlja i županija virovitička gospodara, koj je silnije vladao i teži jaram nametao nego isti kralj. Njegova dobra u Slavoniji kupe Ivan Vitovec grof križevački, bivši kastelan Ulrikov ; zatim grof Montfort i neki njihov rodjak Weisspriacher od Katice, kćeri despote Gjure Brankovića, udove Ulrikove. Ivan Vitovec prkosio još godine 1465 naredbam kralja Matije Korvina tako drzovito, da je kralj svomu ugledu za volju virovitičkoga velikoga župana Bertolda Ellerbacha njegovim nadzornikom imenovati morao. God. 1495 dodje u virovitički grad visok gost. Kralj Vladislav II, uvriedjen po oholom i nepokornom vojvodi Lovrincu Iločkomu (jer preziruć mladoga kralja, njegovim se zapovjedim pokoravati nehtjede), zaključi, da će opornoga vojvodu na poslušnost prisiliti, na plaćanje dužne štibre primorati i najstrožije kazniti radi pogrda, kojimi bijaše kraljevu osobu obezčastio. Vladislav skupi vojsku, kojom prebogatoga velikana proganjati započe. Lovrinac učvrsti krasni orahovički grad te se unj povuče. Medjutim obeća kralj spomenuti grad despoti Vuku Brankoviću, ako ga zauzme; on sam otide u Viroviticu sa množinom pratilaca.Ovdje boravljaše dosta. dugo odbijajuć opetovano prošnje Iločkoga i slušajuć gruvanje topova oko Orahovice.
Za turskih je ratova kao što i mnoga druga mjesta naše, žalibog toli postradale, domovine tako i Virovitica odigrala svoju žalostnu ulogu. Oko nje se 10. rujna 1037 utabori s cielom vojskom general Katzensteiner, da od ovud svoje operacije proti Mohamed-Jahi-Oglu-u udesi te odatle svoj put preko Kapinara, Sopja, Dolnjega Miholjca i Valpova prama Osieku nastavi, gdje se Jahi-Oglu nalazio.
Sliedeće godine, 1538 bude u Velikoj i u Virovitici po naredbi bana Petra Keglevića i Tome Nadaždy-a velika množina zaire za vojsku nagomilana. Nu uzprkos svim tim pripravam uništi Jahi-Oglu malo po malo kraljevsku vojsku po cieloj županiji; Virovitica dodje na novo pod tursko gospodarstvo. Njom vladahu odsele age . i· bezi; tako god. 1591 Mustafa aga Virovitički, koj iste godine sa 72 kapetana Hassan-pašu Bosanskoga do Moslavine u Hrvatskoj odprati, da s njim ovo mjesto i velik dio Hrvatske osvoji. Poražen pako i potjeran odanle od bana Tome Erdöda pobježe sa svojimi kapetani do Gradca, današnje željezničke postaje na pruzi Zakanskoj. Ondje ga i kapetane uloviše i zarobiše gradski zapovjednici Stjepan Grasswein Koprivnički, Alban Grasswein zapovjednik Ivanički i Mihovio Székely, zakovjednik Križevački." Virovitica ostane ipak turska; zaman ju obsjedoše 1597 Žiga grof Herberstein, da ju osvoji. Nemogav ju predobiti, odjuri u Slatinu, pokolje tamo stanujuće Turke, dade mjesto zapaliti, ujedno svu okolicu u obsegu od 4 milje opustošiti a svekolike kršćanske stanovnike premjesti sa svimi pokretniuami i blagom u okolicu Križevačku, po Turčinu stanovnika lišenu i sasvim opustošenu. Žalostno zaista vrieme ! Vojske tobože na obranu dolazeće harahu i pljenjahu istim nasiljem kao i sami Turci! Kako 1597 Herberstein, tako dodje 1603 njemačka četa plieneć i harajuć do blizu Virovitice . Akoprem su takovi podhvati imali biti osveta Turkom, to je ipak samo postradao kukavni naš narod. Silno je, kako vidimo, postradala i Virovitica sa okolicom za onih 130 godina, što bijaše pod turskim gospodstvom, dok ju neoslobodi Jakov grof Leslie 1684. U gradini bilo tada 500 turskih vojnika, nu 2300 inih Turaka, što muževa, što žena i djece, a na čelu jim Ali Beg Mufti sa 6 aga. Imahu 16 većih i manjih topova, dosta zaire. i nekoliko tisuća kamenite soli. Grofovi Leslie, Trautmansdorf, Herberstein i Adam Zrinjski započeše jurišanje žestokom pucnjavom topova nu nemogahu grada osvojiti na juriš, buduć Turci svaki nastali požar brže bolje mokrimi ćebeti ugasiše, Odlučiše dakle grad sa svih strana obkoliti i Turkom odlazak i dolazak 'prepriečiti. To se dade tim laglje učiniti, što je oko grada bila oširoka močvara i duboki obkop. Turci, bojeć se glada, zamole kapitulaciju te se pred odoše uz dozvolu slobodnoga odlazka i oružane pratnje do Save. To jim se dozvoli. 600 vojnika jih odprate, ali putem negdje jih dočekaju krajišniei banski, većinu Turaka pokolju i opliene. Po odlazku Turaka bude zapovjednik virovitički imenovan grof Friedrich Gall, a mjesto na tvrđavom bijaše već tada vojničkoj krajini. Gjurgjevačke pukovnije pripojeno - nu za kratko vrieme.God. 1715 htjedoše stališi na svu silu od cara Karla polučiti, da se županija virovitička kruni pripoji. Istom Marija Terezija odluči, da ima biti spojena s Hrvatskom god. 1746. - 27. travnja. Uz sve nevolje, koje bijahu šibale Viroviticu od prokletoga Turčina. nastojaše ona
ipak kao i ciela županija oko napredka i razvitka škole, osobito počam od godine 1777.
Današnja Virovitica nije doduše više, kao nekoč, središte ciele po njoj nazvane županije - nu središte velikoga vlastelinskoga imanja, što no ga njemački knez Schaumburg Lippe god. 1841 od grofa Aleksandra Pejačevića kupi. Imanje sa Miklošem, 1842 od pl. Mihaljevića i sa Špišić-Bukovicom godine 1861 od grofice Pejačević odnosno obitelji Špišićeve kupljenom, ima svega 77450 katastralnih jutara i 962 četv. hvati, t. j.dakle preko 7 kvadratnih milja.
Najljepša je, upravo krasna sgrada, u mjestu vlastelinski grad na istom mjestu, gdje je jošte god. 1777 stajala prastara tvrdjava na četiriti ugla, sa četiri tornja predebelih zidina. U tih je kulah grof Pejačević držao žito i uredio crkvicu-, nu god. 1798 ili 1799 dade tvrdjavu razvaliti te 1800 do 1804 sagraditi današnji dvor. Od stare tvrdjave preosta jedino kapija ili kuba opekom zametnuta, novom dvoru na zapad. U toj je kapiji ogroman kameni grb, koj se prigodom strahovitoga požara god. 1871, 20 travnja, kada je pol Virovitice i sam vlastelinski dvor izgorio, sa svoga mjesta pod krovom srušio; da nikomu nesmeta, premjestiše ga ovamo. Kapija i grb . veoma su interesantni predmeti. Osim vlastelinskoga dvora spominjemo jošte i samostan Franjevaca. Utemeljen je godine 1325 po kraljici Jelisavi, koja ujedno iste godine Franjevce u Viroviticu uvede . Turci ga razvališe 1533 pa tek bude 1729. od milosrdnih prinesaka na novo sagradjen; crkva 1751 do zidana uza nj.

This vintage aqua and red bus with side dome shaped lights over the seats is beautifully preserved. In this shot you can see back of the bus, windows, and some sort of information/pamphlet distribution box on the side panel. This bus is at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, GA.
The chapel at Stanstead park has a fantastic decorated alter with a prussian blue with stars cieling. There are also a number of Jewish icons and symbols which is strage to find within an Anglican chapel.
The light was a struggle and I had to wack the ISO up to 6400. The 6D copes well at this ISO.
Also known by its old name, Teatro Heredia. Built in 1911 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Colombia's independece from Spain. The interior is very intimate and the ceiling and curtain, by the Cartagena artist, Enrique Grau, are spectacular. They were added when the theater underwent restoration in 1988.
This photo of the cieling and chandelier is a composite of 4 separate photos.
