I read the comprehensive book my travel agent prepared for me for our trip to Western Canada again last night . It said the Peak 2 Peak experience at Whistler would give me spectacular views over the mountains . Clearly the weather gods had not read the book, we got spectacular views of low cloud mist and drizzle

To use the Peak 2 peak you have to take a gondola either up Whistler or Blackcomb mountain which takes about 25 minutes . You then take the Peak 2 Peak that crosses over the Fitzsimmons Creek valley between the two mountains and it feels like you are hanging in space . Perhaps the weather that day meant it was fairly quiet we shared a cabin with two Canadian women who rode it regularly and clearly loved it . On the return trip we were on our own, what was odd was how quiet the machine was it was very peaceful and dreamlike slowly drifting through the mist across space .

I am not one for getting excited by engineering but this was an exception the design of this thing was clearly of a very high quality . A few facts about the peak 2 peak . It is the worlds highest lift of its type , it's the worlds longest unsupported span . The total length is 2.7 miles of which 1.8 is unsupported by any towers the highest point is 1427 feet above the valley bottom .

At the top of Whistler mountain you can even climb higher and walk across the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven’s Eye Cliff Walk. This was pretty scary but I will post a shot of it sometime

This one surely is my most comprehensive write-up so far. There are still many open questions and missing pieces, but I've tried my best to provide an overview of the different series of the Kiptar, Super-Kiptar and many related (in name, development and design) lens families. I've also included lots of bits and pieces about the history and possible connections between these lenses or ones from other manufacturers. I also created a rough timeline of Schneider, ISCO and some of the relevant products as well as a serial number overview. Unfortunately Schneider didn't respond to my questions about the matter, but I hope they're going to help me out by clarifying or adding some of the stuff that's still unclear or missing.

 

You can find the article here:

I've experimented with many of the lenses in question myself and included a lot of sample shots. In addition to that I'm also very happy and thankful that Gudrun Besler (aorta-besler) who is a wonderful artist, photographer and experimenter with unusual lenses from Germany, has agreed to share some of her beautiful shots taken with several samples of Kiptar lenses as well.

 

Thanks to everyone here and elsewhere who helped me out time and time again with some related questions. If you have some additional information on the matter, please let me know!

From the heights of Alter Peter’s 91-meter viewing platform, this sweeping panorama of Munich unfolds with remarkable clarity and detail. The golden light of early evening floods the city, from the sunlit rooftops to the shadowed streets below. The twin domes of the Frauenkirche rise in quiet grandeur, while the Neues Rathaus anchors the scene with its towering Gothic spires. This view encapsulates the harmonious blend of old-world charm and modernity, with cranes on the horizon hinting at the city’s ever-evolving landscape. Bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, Munich reveals its layered history and dynamic spirit in this moment of serene beauty.

 

The image itself is a blend of 35 captures, stitched together to form the panoramic view. Each of the seven angles was bracketed with five exposures of ±1 EV to get both the bright sun and the shadows. This process highlights the intricate architectural details and the rich contrast between light and dark, offering a comprehensive portrayal of the cityscape when day gracefully transitions into evening.

Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection

Since the post-Mao reform era began in 1979, China has seen the emergence of an extremely diverse and dynamic art scene, a development that has taken place within a short space of time and in spite of the continuing difficulties faced by those involved in independent art production. In recent years, contemporary art from China has also been attracting great interest in the West.

 

Chinese artists have quickly found their place in the international art scene, and skilfully employ media, techniques and forms of expression that were developed in the West. Nevertheless, their specifically Chinese roots – pre-modern tradition on the one hand, the requirements of the Socialist Realist style prescribed by the Communist Party until the late 1970s on the other – are evident in many of the artists’ works; in comparison to Western art, for example, greater emphasis is placed on figurative painting.

 

Some of these artists consciously address the issue of their national identity by adopting the techniques and formal language of traditional Chinese art and placing them in a new context. Another significant trend is to parody or reflect upon the art and art history of the West from a Chinese perspective. Above all, however, Chinese avant-garde art has to be viewed in the light of the tremendous social and economic upheavals that have taken place in recent decades; a large number of works specifically reflect the tension between the socialist ideals which are still officially valid and the wave of consumerism that has swept the country as a result of the capitalist reforms.

 

Swiss collector Uli Sigg, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ringier Group, has taken a keen interest in China and its culture since the late 1970s. Together with his wife Rita, he has been building a collection devoted exclusively to Chinese art since the mid-1990s, and can justly be regarded as a pioneer in this field. Having initially concentrated on the acquisition of new art, Sigg soon began to extend his collection to include ‘historic’ works of Chinese avant-garde art from the 1980s and early 90s. The result of this systematic approach is a collection of contemporary Chinese art that is unparalleled in its scope and quality. All the leading positions and important trends are represented here by major works, many of which have now achieved iconic status in the Chinese art world.

 

The exhibition in the Hamburger Kunsthalle gives the German public the opportunity to view a representative selection of works from the Sigg Collection. It provides an overview of a quarter of a century of Chinese avant-garde art (1979–2005) and surpasses all previous exhibitions on the topic in terms of its focus and quality.

 

A comprehensive catalogue is being published to accompany the exhibition; besides an interview with the collector, it includes essays by the curators, descriptions and analyses of the individual works, as well as a general introduction to sociopolitical and artistic developments in China over the past three decades.

The exhibition has been organized in collaboration with the Kunstmuseum Bern, where it was curated by Bernhard Fibicher and Ai Weiei.

  

The exhibition in Hamburg has been curated by Dr. Christoph Heinrich.

Mostra Joaquín Sorolla Pittore di Luce - Palazzo Reale Milan

 

dopo la prima tappa alla National Gallery di Londra, prosegue a Milano l'esposizione più completa dei dipinti di Joaquín Sorolla fuori dalla Spagna.

 

After the first stop at the National Gallery in London, the most comprehensive exhibition of Joaquín Sorolla's paintings outside Spain continues in Milan.

 

Poco noto al pubblico italiano, Sorolla è stato uno dei massimi rappresentanti della moderna pittura iberica a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento, contribuendo in modo determinante al suo rinnovamento e aprendola al clima della Belle Époque.

Tra gli artisti più amati e apprezzati del suo tempo sia per la grande qualità tecnica che per il carattere umile e benevolo, Joaquín Sorolla ottiene una fama che travalica ben presto i confini nazionali, partecipando e ottenendo prestigiosissimi premi alle grandi manifestazioni internazionali. Sarà però l’ambìto Grand Prix, ottenuto alla nota Esposizione Universale di Parigi nel 1900, a lanciare la sua pittura di luce e colore definitivamente sulla scena internazionale. A Londra nel 1908 viene acclamato come “il più grande pittore vivente al mondo”.

 

Exhibition Joaquín Sorolla Painter of Light - Palazzo Reale Milan

 

After the first stop at the National Gallery in London, the most comprehensive exhibition of Joaquín Sorolla's paintings outside Spain continues in Milan.

 

Little known to the Italian public, Sorolla was one of the greatest representatives of modern Iberian painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, making a major contribution to its renewal and opening it up to the climate of the Belle Époque.

Among the most beloved and appreciated artists of his time for both his great technical quality and his humble and benevolent character, Joaquín Sorolla achieved a fame that soon transcended national borders, participating in and winning prestigious prizes at major international events. However, it was the coveted Grand Prix, obtained at the renowned Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, that launched his painting of light and color permanently on the international scene. In London in 1908 he was acclaimed as "the world's greatest living painter."

In these days of comprehensive internet data, it's comparatively rare to come across some aircraft you are unaware of, especially if it is in your own county.

 

I was driving to a butterfly hotspot, when this Hunter suddenly came into view, so had to turn back. It's actually on the southern periphery of Dunsfold airfield, and an accompanying illustration shows it sitting inside a building - a new museum that is envisaged. Whether it's a pipedream or not, we will have to see.

 

The aircraft itself was previously at the Gatwick Aviation Museum in Charlwood, and is actually a composite using three airframes. The fuselage is an old Royal Danish Air Force aircraft [E-430] whilst the wings come from two different RAF examples.

In 1984, DSB embarked on a comprehensive restoration of the station building. It included new tiles in the original patterns on floors and exposure and restoration of the original decorations on walls and cealings. The work was completed in 1987, and the main building including the platform roofs was listed in 1990.

The Rochefoucaulds

 

Prior to the Great War, le Château de Bonnétable was the residence of la Famille Rochefoucauld.

 

If you go to the cemetery in Bonnétable, you will see a very impressive-looking monument - you can't miss it, it's by far the best one in the cemetery. The monument tells you:

 

"Ici repose Charles Marie Francois,

Vicomte de la Rochefoucauld, Duc

d'Estrées, Maire de Bonnétable.

Decedée a Bonnétable le 25 Février

1907 dans sa 44ême année.

De Profundis".

 

Charles' ancestor, François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) once wrote:

 

"Hypocrisy is the homage that

vice pays to virtue".

 

The Great War

 

During the Great War, the château was the base for Military Ambulance No. 4 under the orders of Dr. Mikanowski. The château welcomed wounded men from both sides of the conflict.

 

A Thought From Nietzche

 

This is nothing really to do with the above image, but it's very thought-provoking. It's a comment by the philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzche (1844 to 1900). Here it is:

 

"One can promise actions, but not feelings,

for the latter are involuntary.

He who promises to love forever or hate

forever or be forever faithful to someone

is promising something that is not in his

power".

Makes me feel like someone else 🤔 K

The almost completed VCCC

 

The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre (VCCC) Project is a $1 billion world-class cancer centre for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer.

 

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne Health and The University of Melbourne comprise the building partners for this project. The project will provide a brand new home for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and new cancer research and clinical services for Melbourne Health (including the Royal Melbourne Hospital), new cancer research facilities for The University of Melbourne and new education facilities for all building partners.

 

The development comprises a new 13-storey building bordering Flemington Road, Grattan Street and Elizabeth Street known as the 'South site', and the construction of four new floors on top of the existing Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH), known as the 'North site'. The new building and the extension to RMH will be linked by covered bridges above Grattan Street, allowing cancer patients, visitors and staff to move between the two buildings.

American Art

The de Young’s American art collection, spanning from the 17th century to the present day, is the most comprehensive survey collection of American art in the American West, and is among the top 10 collections nationally that encompass the entire history of non-indigenous American art. The acquisition of the distinguished Rockefeller Collection, along with later gifts and purchases, transformed the American art collection into a true national treasure, as well as a significant cultural and educational resource for both residents and tourists.

 

The art on view spans four centuries and includes objects created by Native American cultures, subsequent immigrants, enslaved Africans, and their descendants. Many of these cultures clashed over their differing visions of America’s past, present, and future, while also borrowing and sharing ideas from each other. This historical diversity and complexity has led to the creation of many hybrid art objects that are among the defining features of culture in the United States.

 

The breadth and depth of the American art collection enables visitors to explore many of the most influential developments in American art and history. These objects reflect both the personal visions of the artists and the collective concerns of their communities. The juxtaposition of old objects with newer ones in the galleries is intended to foster a dialogue between the past and the present, and to remind viewers that cultural ideas can transcend the artwork’s time and place of origin.

Cusworth Hall is an 18th-century Grade I listed country house in Cusworth, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire in the north of England. Set in the landscaped parklands of Cusworth Park, Cusworth Hall is a good example of a Georgian country house. It is now a country house museum.

 

The house is constructed of ashlar with slate roofs. The rectangular 6 x 5 bay plan main block is linked to 5 x 2 bay service wings.

 

The Wrightson family had held the lordship of Cusworth since 1669.

 

The present house was built in 1740–1745 by George Platt for William Wrightson to replace a previous house and was further altered in 1749–1753 by James Paine. On William's death in 1760 the property passed to his daughter Isabella, who had married John Battie, who took the additional name of Wrightson in 1766. He employed the landscape designer Richard Woods to remodel the park. Woods was one of a group of respected landscape designers working across the country during the 18th century and Cusworth was one of his most important commissions in South Yorkshire, another being at Cannon Hall. Woods created a park of 250 acres with a hanging and a serpentine river consisting of three lakes embellished with decorative features such as the Rock Arch and the Cascade.

 

The estate afterwards passed to John and Isabella's son, William Wrightson (1752–1827), who was the MP for Aylesbury from 1784 to 1790 and High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1819–1820. He was succeeded by his son William Battie-Wrightson (1789–1879), who at various times was MP for East Retford, Kingston upon Hull and Northallerton. He died childless and Cusworth Hall passed to his brother Richard Heber Wrightson, who died in 1891.

 

The property was then inherited by his nephew William Henry Thomas, who took the surname Battie-Wrightson by Royal Licence and died in 1903. He had married Lady Isabella Cecil, eldest daughter of the 3rd Marquess of Exeter. Between 1903 and 1909 Lady Isabella made further alterations to the house. She died in 1917, leaving an only son Robert Cecil Battie-Wrightson (1888–1952). On his death in 1952, the estate descended to his sister, a nurse who had married a Major Oswald Parker but later was variously known as Miss Maureen Pearse-Brown and as Mrs Pearce. She was obliged to sell the contents of Cusworth Hall in October 1952 to meet the death duties levied at Robert Cecil's death. She subsequently sold the hall to Doncaster Council.

 

Cusworth Estate Cusworth was first mentioned as ‘Cuzeuuorde’ in the domesday survey of 1086 but there has been a settlement here for centuries dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period. Many different families had held the lands and manor but they did not always live at Cusworth.

 

‘Old Hall’ A large house is first mentioned in 1327. Robert Wrightson bought the lands and manor of Cusworth in 1669 from Sir Christopher Wray. The first surviving map of Cusworth is that of Joseph Dickinson's 1719 plan which shows the hall and gardens covered only 1 acre with the orchards a further 2 acres. What is most significant at this time was the ‘Parke’ of some 25 acres. The ‘Old Hall’ was next to the walled gardens in the centre of Cusworth village. In 1726 the ‘Old Hall’ was expanded including altering the gardens between 1726 and 1735. This expanded the kitchen garden into the size and form we know today with the Bowling Green and Pavilion.

 

In the period 1740–1745 William Wrightson employed George Platt, a mason architect from Rotherham, to build a new hall – the current Cusworth Hall – high on a scarp slope on the Magnesian Limestone removing the Hall, and the family, from the village of Cusworth. The ‘Old Hall’ was largely demolished in the process, many components from the old building re-used in the new.

 

Cusworth Hall Cusworth Hall itself and its outbuildings are at the centre of the park enjoying ‘prospect’ over the town of Doncaster. The Grade I-listed eighteenth century hall was designed by George Platt in the Palladian style. Cusworth Hall is handsome, well proportioned, with wings consisting of a stable block and great kitchen. Later additions by James Paine include a chapel and library. It has decorative outbuildings including a Brew House, Stable Block and Lodge. In addition it has a decorative garden called Lady Isabella's Garden on the west side adjacent to the chapel. On its eastern flank the stable block and gardeners' bothy. Attached to the bothy is a decorative iron enclosure known as the Peacock Pen.

 

Cusworth Park Cusworth Park is an historic designed landscape with a Grade II listing in the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens. It was designed and created by the nationally known landscape architect Richard Woods to ‘improve’ the park in the style made famous by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown now termed ‘The English Landscape Park’. Work started in 1761 laying out the ‘grounds and the serpentine river’.

 

The land forming the existing park is 60 acres (25 hectares) – 250,000m, and was part of the much larger parkland (250 acres) and estates (20,000 acres) of the Battie-Wrightson family who owned Cusworth Hall.

 

The walled garden The earliest description of the layout of the park and walled gardens is that shown on Joseph Dickinson's 1719 plan. In 1761 Richard Woods altered areas within the walled gardens. Together ‘woods’ Kitchen Garden and Green House Garden occupy the site of the orchard shown on Dickinson's plan.

 

The purchase of bricks from Epworth for the construction of the walled gardens is recorded in the New House Accounts.

 

The garden was a compartmentalised space, however with focus on domestic production in some sections, exotics in another, an orchard, and formal flower gardens in the rest.

 

The kitchen gardens included pine pits (pineapple house), later to become stove houses and mushroom houses.

 

The Entrance Terrace (Upper Terrace) Old plans show a narrow walled enclosure or ‘entrance terrace' running east–west. The walls of this enclosure may well have been of stone or stoned faced and still, in part survives. To the south are the main components of the walled garden. Access from the terrace down to the bowling green is via a flight of stone steps.

 

Bowling Green Described on Richard Woods plans of 1760. This is a roughly square, walled enclosure where the bowling green is surrounded by an earthed banked terraced walk. The enclosure is defined by a brick wall, which was lowered along its western side to give a view over to the Green House Garden.

 

Summerhouse / Bowling Pavilion Built 1726. The summerhouse is the main architectural feature of the walled garden. It is of two stories with the upper storey accessed from the Bowling Green. There is an impression of more carefully shaped quoins at the corners but it is probable that the walls were originally rendered and lime washed externally. There are windows giving views across the Bowling Green from the upper chamber and across the Flower Garden from the lower chamber.

 

During restoration in the 1990s the upper chamber was decorated with Trompe-l'œil. showing views of imagined walled gardens at Cusworth.

 

Flower Garden The garden was designed to be viewed principally from the higher position of the bowling green. It was subdivided by cross-paths and furnished with four formal beds. Although one of the smallest compartments, the flower garden was the most highly ornamental and tightly designed. It would have created a formal, colourful architectural space contrasting with the simplicity of the bowling green

 

Hall Garden The function of the Hall Garden is not clear but appears to have been an extension of the decorative scheme of the flower garden. The Hall Garden has a perimeter walk and is then divided into two plots by a further, central path.

 

Peach House This whitewash wall indicates the position of the peach house.

 

Melon Pits Melon pits ran east–west along this area.

 

Orchard Through the 18th century the orchard was not enclosed and remained open until the late 19th century. It was double its current size extending back up to Cusworth Lane until the northern half was sold off for housing in the 1960s.

 

Kitchen Garden (No longer existing) The west, south and this east boundary wall(s) of the garden still exist but the plot of land was sold off for housing in the 1960s. There was an access gate between the Hall Garden and the kitchen garden (this can be seen bricked up in the northwest corner). This garden had a perimeter walk and was planted with trees arranged in parallel lines orchestrated around a small building at the northern end of the compartment.

 

Green House Garden (No longer existing) The kitchen garden represents the greater part of the area occupied by the original orchard shown on Dickinson's 1719 plan. The remaining area was described on Woods’ plan as the Green House Garden and was shown divided into two unequal parts. Both parts of the garden appear to have been planted with trees, probably fruit trees. A building abuts the bowling green in roughly the position as the one shown on the Dickinson plan but there is an additional building, roughly square in plan, to the northwest corner of the enclosure. This was probably the Dovecote for which Wrightson paid £9 15s 0d in 1736.

 

The west boundary wall still exists and this low (east) wall that runs along the length of the bowling green but the plot of land was sold off for housing in the 1960s.

 

In 1961 Doncaster Rural District Council purchased Cusworth Hall and the adjoining parkland from the Battie-Wrightson family. The Council undertook an initial restoration of the grounds and also recreated what is now the tearooms within the former stable block. The former reception rooms and spacious galleries now house the Museum of South Yorkshire life, officially opened on 30 September 1967.

 

Cusworth Hall and Park underwent an extensive £7.5 million renovation between 2002 and 2005, involving essential conservation repairs to the Hall and extensive restoration of the landscape gardens. Within the hall external repairs to the stonework and roof were undertaken to ensure that the exterior was watertight, whilst internal works upgraded internal services and enabled new displays to be installed.

 

The restoration of the designed landscape have been greatly influenced by a comprehensive analysis of available archive material, among which are the original written memoranda and sketches produced by Richard Woods for his site forman Thomas Coalie. An integrated archaeological programme also formed a key aspect of the restorations, recording in detail landscape features such as the Rock Arch, Cascade, and Bridge. This restoration has not 'recreated' the 18th century scheme, although elements are still incorporated within a 'living' amenity garden that is now thriving as a result of the recent work undertaken in partnership with the Friends of Cusworth Park.

 

The Hall reopened to the public on 23 May 2007 and the new displays document the history of South Yorkshire and it is a valued resource for local residents, students and school groups alike.

 

Cusworth Hall Museum and Park is the venue for a varied program of seasonal exhibitions, events and activities linked to the history of the area. including Country Fairs, vintage vehicle rallies, historic re-enactments, wildlife sessions and a range of seasonally themed events. A free, weekly, 5 km parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9 am in the grounds of Cusworth Hall. The first event was held on Saturday 5 October 2019 and was hosted by the staff at Cusworth in collaboration with the local community.

 

Additionally, Doncaster Museums' Education Service offers a range of learning sessions to schools and educational establishments. Specialist and experienced Education Officers deliver learning workshops to schools across a broad range of topics as well as out-of-school-hours activities for families and local communities.

For the compo I use a Braun add-on finder with variable focal lengths that goes into the accessories shoe. This add-on finder even has a parallax correction of sorts. It's all a bit fiddly, but it works. After a fashion.
