Cherry Crest Elementary School with Red Fiber Cement Boards on a rainscreen (overlap) system. Architect: NAC Architecture
Minerit HD fiber cement boards on a rainscreen system. Designed Van Meter Williams Pollack Architects.
Nice, sturdy house with balanced windows. Much enhanced by imaginative stone cladding, only let down by the cheap stock bricks of the wall. A very fresh treatment. A favourite of mine.

Taken in 2005. Cladding covers the bridge for painting. Now removed.
The modern paint and primer are expected to last up to 30 years without replacement.
This district saw one of the first attacks by the Luftwaffe at the start of World War 2. The bridge may not have been the target as some believed, but HMS Hood - our largest warship - which lay at the Naval port of Rosyth across the river. According to one source, the attack was carried out by Junkers 88s from Westerland. RAF fighters from a local airfield saw them off, the Nazis suffering some losses. I heard on a tv documentary that this was the first time a Spitfire involved in aerial combat shot down an enemy aircraft. Reportedly, too, a ship at the mouth of the estuary suffered a bomb strike during the raid and around 20 sailors were killed, including the captain who died later in hospital. I think he was decorated for bringing his ship and crew home despite being mortally wounded. Probably not reported in contemporary news reports.
Unbelievable all this, when down at S Queensferry on a sunny summer's day.

The archway over both doors is rather nice, reflecting the similar doorways on the Warner maisonettes, with four doors in a row, which are found all over Leyton and Walthamstow.
Gnathostome pelvic girdle evolution.
The cladogram is based on the trees in Zhu et al. [18], [20]. We adopt the grouping of Guiyu with Psarolepis [20] and the alternative positions (I and II) of Psarolepis (either a stem sarcopterygian or a stem osteichthyan) [18] as our working hypotheses. Drawing of placoderm pelvic girdle (Murrindalaspis in posterior view) from [8]. Dermal pelvic girdles (including plates and spines) in yellow; endoskeletal pelvic girdles in blue.

Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.

exploring the tulbagh blockhouse with the clan
this particular block house is in bad condition, raided by locals for corrugated iron roof sheet/ cladding and the internal wooden floors/decking burnt.
117 years after. the ever present destructive monster in man/woman unkind.
photographer's note-
blockhouses were built by the british from 1899-1902 during the anglo-boer war to protect the railway bridges from
boer attacks
the stone is local while the remaining materials were imported from britain. some were constructed entirely from concrete
the block houses could house 20 men with water, munitions and supplies stored on the lower floor. The living quarters were on the middle floor and was accessible by a retractable ladder and the top floor was the lookout deck.
only about 1000 of these blockhouses were built and few have survived
they were very effective barriers and few saw any action.
end of note
*************************************
The building of blockhouses started in March 1900 to protect the railways, in particular the railway bridges. Many of these were impressive structures of stone, with corrugated iron roofs, standing three storeys high and enetred by an external wooden stair in the form of a drawbridge.
These were effective but also time consuming and costly to build. This led to more modest style structures being built in the form of rectangular, signle-storey buildings with a stone wall mounted upon which was a coorugated iron upperwork, this was pierced with loopholes and double skinned, the void between being filled with stones to block rifle fire. Even these structures were slow to construct and a solution to these was sort by Kitchener, he turned to Major Spring R Rice, Officer Commanding 23 Field Company, Royal Engineers based as Middleburg, Transvaal.
Major Rice designed two new forms of blockhouse, the first octagonal and the second, the one that became known as the 'Rice Blockhouse'. circular. This was made of of corrugated iron filled with a stone-filled, loopholed shield above and an earth-filled caisson below, the whole being topped off with a stone roof. When ideally sited the door was blocked approached under cover of a trench and the hillock on which it sat and the lower part of the walls was covered with loose stones for added protection. It was said that trained men could erect such a blockhouse in a single day and the record for erecting one was a mere three hours. It was usually garrisoned by a non-commissioned officer and six men. Outside the immediate area was protected by barbed wire and a barbed wire fence stretched between one blockhouse and the next, hung out with tin cans to make as much noise as possible when disturbed.
The fortifications in cluded numerous other modesl, often ad-hoc designs fashioned to meet the requirements of the location and adjusted to make the best of available materials, but the Rice design was the one that sprang up in huge numbers. By September 1901 the Western Railway blockhouse line from De Aar to Lobatsi, north of Mafeking, was complete, as was the Central Railway system from Naauwpoort to Pretoria and the Delalgoa Railway to the border of Koomati Poort. In addition a box west of Johannesburg and Pretoria and a line south-east to Standerton and Newcastle were operational. In the next three months the line north from Pretoria to Pietersberg was built, the Western Railwasy cover extended south-west to beaufort West and numerous additions made in Transvaal and was now Orange Colony. By May 1902 a line of blockhouses ran from Beaufort West right across Cape Colony to the Atlantic coast and yet more lines had been added elsewhere. By the end of the war there were 3,700 miles (6,000km) of lines with some 8,000 blockhouses manned by 50,000 British troops and 16,000 Africans.
