This time I took my tripod as I wandered around the Broley barn again on a hot day when I caught sight of this particular spot that had been clad with corrugated metal for protection from the weather, grin! I admit that I am still looking Broley's over to try to get my seeing ability untracked. Decisions! I may yet visit again even before the weather cools in the fall. I think that the skies have to turn better and the smoke clears first. That might be any day after June this year. Nobel physicists from N.C.A.R. have pointed out the complications of the ratio between record highs and record lows that never changed much up through the seventies even through the dust bowl. One scientist mentioned the evil words "Global Warming." I expect that "Romoney" and the righties have their own reasons why the high records are so badly balanced today. Fantasy no doubt. The 2010-11 result was supposedly 2.8 times over what ought to be an even ratio. Two N.C.A.R. scientists claim it is now 10:1, 11:1 or 13.5:1 imbalance. It chills my blood (if only something could). One scientist said: get ready regardless of what the politicians tell you! We've already burned more of New Mexico and Colorado than ever before and now Montana is going up and we here are sending "special" storms to you folks out east. If only putting more petroleum into our air would help, the righties, themselves could blow smoke into the air. Or perhaps the righties ought to limit their expertise to blowing smoke up you! I hope you liked the last storm we sent!
Confidence men like Boy George and Romoney won't give up on you, they will surely come back for more so I'd suggest keeping you hands in your own pockets. Michael Milken went to prison for his tricks but now Bane Capital change the name of the heist to hide it from the marks! Come to think of it, this cladding sure looks like the Mittster's Magic Underwhere.
This brings a thought of building economically to mind. I guess that if the thought of building well never comes to mind, you won't mind rebuilding again too much. Time to cover the Broley barn for a third time!

The Hive is library that opened in 2012, and is part of the University of Worcester. Located near The Butts in Worcester.
The Worcester Library and History Centre is located in the library.
It opened in July 2012.
The Hive, is a large golden-coloured building in Worcester, England, which houses the fully integrated Worcestershire County Council public library and the University of Worcester's academic library, the county Archive & Archaeology Service and the Worcestershire Hub city branch. The Hive was the first library in Europe to house both a University book collection and a public lending library. It was opened to the public on 2 July 2012 and officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in her diamond jubilee year (12 July 2012). The Hive houses over 12 miles (19 km) of archive collections including William Shakespeare’s marriage bond to Anne Hathaway, a quarter of a million books and more than 26,000 records of historic monuments and buildings, as well as the Worcestershire Hub city branch, a business centre, café and meeting facilities. The award-winning design of the building uses advanced environmental technology to improve sustainability, including river water cooling and a bio-mass boiler when heating is needed.

The rear of the former Blackpool & Fleetwood Electric Tramroad Company tram depot, Copse Road, Fleetwood. Saturday 02 June 2012.
Construction of the depot commenced on Tuesday 10 August 1897 and it opened the following year. It was not intended as a running shed but for use as a store for the open crossbench trams, which naturally were mainly used during the summer months. Six tracks each held three trams to give a total capacity of 18, though in later years two tracks were taken out of use, reducing the capacity to 12 trams. The depot closed on 01 October 1963, Fleetwood Box car 40 was towed out by Standard 40 as the last tram to leave the depot.
The building is now the only one of the three Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway Company tram depots still standing. It currently houses a car dealer, the Fleetwood Car Centre.
There were ambitious proposals to open the former tram depot as a tramway museum in 2013. The building is relatively sound although there are signs of subsidence in the right hand front corner and the back wall as well as fire damage to the roof beams. An internal breeze block wall, false ceiling and offices built after the depot closed require being demolished. The cladding at the front of the building requires to be removed to reveal the original frontage and replica depot doors will have to be made. It is very clear that a large sum of money will have to be invested in the project to bring the building back in to shape for it to be successful tourist attraction and this will certainly be a very demanding challenge in these tough economic and difficult times.
The proposed museum scheme failed and the former tram depot has since been demolished.

A superb example of copper-clad pottery by the metalworker from Canton, Ohio, Charles Clewell, is estimated to bring between $2500 and $3500 at the Treadway-Toomey auction on May 7. A large, 15-inch tall vase in a classic form with an exquisite original red and green patina, the piece is marked "8-2-6." When he wasn't otherwise occupied as a metalworker or a technician for a roller bearing manufacturer, he toiled for years to perfect his metal-on-pottery overlay technique and his incomparable patinas. As he wished, the secret to his techniques remains a mystery to this day. In 1937 he was recognized in Paris, where he was awarded the distinguished "Diploma of the International Exposition of the Arts and Techniques" by the French government.
Bridge Street, Richmond, Vermont USA • Lovely old cupola topped farmhouse, with most of its original detail now obscured under aluminum siding (but it doesn't need a paint job).
The glass-clad Northern and Rock building. Behind it (from left to right) we can see the top of Tower 42, the Lloyds of London building, the St. Helens building, the Heron Tower and 60 St Mary's Ax (The Gherkin).
This is a continuation of my walk along the Thames Path past the new City Hall, HMS Belfast, some of the amazing architecture and fast-developing skyline on the river bank opposite, including the Northern and Rock building, the old Billinngsgate Fish Market, the iconic Lloyds building, Tower 42 (formerly the Nat West Tower) and others.
Having visited the magnificent History Faculty at Cambridge University on Saturday, I dug out some pictures of another in James Stirling's Red Trilogy.
I took these pictures of the earliest of the three of these groundbreaking and controversial buildings in September 2012.
Like the other buildings in the trilogy, this building features red faced walkways and handrails. In Cambridge they're white and very obvious. Here, they've been painted red to match the brick. The podium is windowless, monolithic concrete, clad in tiles and brick.
