more Summer evening wandering around Heslington East campus.
Brand new glass, steel, copper and wood all over the place.
Looks more like the deck of a ship this one, but I like the splodges of reflected light from the glass building opposite.
The river Ganga (Ganges) which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad high Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga meets the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day (January 14/15), when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius. Almost a million of Hindu devotees from all over India gather at Gangasagar for a holy dip and perform rituals and prayer (puja) with a belief that it will cleanse and purify their souls.
Ganga Sagar - pain, bliss and sanctification
The Ganga Sagar Mela continues to throb with life, with the energy of millions of pilgrims. The pilgrimage may be extremely tough, but the pilgrims know that the visit will purify their souls. The visit fulfils their lifelong desire and often one can see tears of joy rolling down their cheeks. That is the magic of religion!

From Ufford I climbed back out of the valley along the road to Marholm before turning off on a country lane. This wasn't particularly narrow, but it was very lonely. Hardly a single car passed me, and there was a wide view in every direction. There were more cyclists than cars, mostly the usual grim-faced lycra-clad hobbyists who would have been playing golf in a different decade, but also lots of cheerful ordinary cyclists venturing beyond Peterborough's Green Wheel. This happened a lot to day, and on every occasion without exception my greeting was returned. They seemed a particularly friendly lot around here.
I was glad I had my OS map, because the little lane to the remote hamlet of Upton was not signposted. Indeed, I found this a lot today. Either signposts were confusing or there were simply none at all. I put this down to the local history. Maybe Northamptonshire county council never got around to replacing the signs removed after the War, and then in 1965 the bureaucrats at County Hall in Huntingdon thought to themselves Hmmm, we ought to do something about this, but before they could it was 1974 and it was the bureacrats at County Hall in Cambridge who were scratching their heads and saying Beyond Peterborough? Is that our responsibility? It is? Well, I suppose we ought to do something about it, but suddenly it was 1999, Peterborough became a unitary authority with responsibility for its own road signs and they said Let's not bother, everyone local knows the way to everywhere else local, and that's good enough for us. Or something like that.
Anyway, the narrow lane got narrower and narrower and descended more and more steeply, so I hoped I'd got the right lane or it would be a long haul back to the road. But I had, and eventually came to the little hamlet of Upton, not to be confused with the large suburban village of Upton on the outskirts of Alconbury a few miles off. Perhaps they used the signs there instead. I said it was remote, and it is, there's a couple of miles to the nearest other settlement. But it is also enfolded in the hills, and at the end of a dead end leading into farmland. It seemed much more remote even than it actually was.
I only knew of the church from the simple cross on my OS map, and had no idea what to expect. Beyond the houses I crossed a noisy cattle grid into a wide open overgrown meadow, and there it was on the far side. It looked extraordinary, a low double-gabled frontage with a small medieval extension beyond. Was it even a church? The cross on the gates told me it was. There was no path across the meadow here so I headed down to the farm and took a track leading back off to the north.
The church was locked with a keyholder notice (at first I though there wasn't one, but on the noticeboard bolted to the west wall someone had covered it up with another notice). Now, I hadn't planned to go for the key because I wanted time to visit all the churches on my list in this area, but one peep through the window changed my mind. It looked extraordinary inside, a church of different levels with a vast bedstead memorial and a Stuart pulpit beyond. I scurried back to the keyholder just beyond the cattle grid and back to the church. I let myself into the west door.
Extraordinary. This must have been a tiny church once, but in the 17th Century the Dove family built a massive two stage extension on the north side. This consisted of a mausoleum below and a family pew on the upper floor, with balustraded stairs leading up to it as if in a country house. As if that were not enough, the family pew contains a massive memorial, quite out of scale, to Sir William Dove and his two wives (a civilised custom I always think, it's a shame it has been lost to us). He died in 1633, but the memorial is later than that and probably a composite, for his first wife is made of Barnack stone and he and his second wife (they weren't really at the same time) are made of terracotta. Stepping down into the tiny nave and chancel was like crossing the centuries. Here, a distinctly prayerbook feel has been elaborated in an early 20th Century fashion. it was enchanting, a thrilling little church. If I had come here on my 21-church trip through the middle of Cambridgeshire a couple of weeks back it would certainly have been my church of the day, but for now it had to make do with slipping in behind Barnack and Peakirk.
I felt thoroughly lifted up, despite the fact that I emerged to find the sky had clouded over. I took back the key and descended by the other narrow lane to the A47, which took me by surprise, I was halfway around the roundabout before I realised I was on it, and then off the other side and down into the tiny village of Sutton.
The first iron clad ship in the Royal Navy. Now restored at Portsmouth
Built at the Thames Ironworks, Bow Creek, River Thames London. The yard was opened in 1838 and closed in1912. When the yard closed the works football team changed it's name to West Ham United, Their nickname the Hammers was taken from the firms emblem of crossed riveting hammers.
One of the leitmotifs of Tottenham cladding is the use of yellow bricks which are unknown further south in Hackney. Perhaps this is a resultant of local geological variations? The effect here is quite startling, a quasi crasy melange of colours and sizes, none of which dominates. The white block wall looks especially good.here. But beneath it I don't know what was meant to happen. The same palette was crying out to be used. A fine treatment, nevertheless.
The same pediment pops up again in N16 on Ebenezer Howard's old home and its fabulous next door neighbour. The path here is also crazy paved. The squared tiled cladding is most unusual,especially the Piet Mondrian touches above the upper window line. I like this immensely. A shame that the little ballustrade above the bay has been lost.

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. Abbreviations: -dpg, loss of dermal pelvic girdle; dpg, dermal pelvic girdle; mono, monobasal pelvic fin articulation; poly, polybasal pelvic fin articulation.
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.
A woman passes in front of a window that opens up to the cladding on the exterior of the African-American Museum in DC.
When patrons descend the escalator from the third to the second floor, they pass through a concourse along the north side, and that concourse is up against this open view. The cladding is along the entire exterior of the museum, and from the inside, it makes for some interesting lighting effects.

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.
